CIMA~any follow up on the previous message; have you gathered any new enthusiasm for this company? And while their latest filing (new one coming due!) shows outstanding at September 30, 2000: 42,627,524 shares and the Authorized: 100,000,000 common share, on the RB board there has been discussion as to how bad the dilution might be as they seem to have been on an acquisition push and based on financials didn't appear to be using cash to fund them. I would be interested to see if anyone, even if old as the above info is, might have the float... it seems very thinly traded. A new service, knobias.com, formally pennyPI Emailed me to inform me of their new service... most is charged for but some is free. Under the free service, for technical analysis, the ranking for this stock came in as a (-)2 ----------------------------- KNOBIAS STOCK SCORE ELEMENTS: EventX Usage: -2 to +2 Tour Video: -2 to +2 Reporting: -2 to +2 Institutional Holdings: 0 to +2 Liquidity: -2 to +2 Spread: -2 to +2 Volitility: -2 to +2 > BEST score: +14 > WORST score: -12 -------------------------------------- EVENTX: EventX Usage: Knobias has created a very unique newswire service exclusively for Outside Market companies and offers these newswire services FREE OF CHARGE for companies willing to submit reliable, current information to Knobias.

This liquidity comes in handy when an Investor needs to quickly exit a losing position or quickly enter a positive situatation. The Knobias Stock Score values are based on the stock's 20 Day Average DAILY Share Volume 750,000 or more shares per day: +2 200,000 - 749,999 shares per day: +1 75,000 - 199,999 shares per day: 0 20,000 - 74,999 shares per day: -1 Less than 20,000 shares per day: -2 SPREAD: Trading Spread Rating: A stock's spread is calculated as the difference between the Bid and the Ask. The Ask is normally the price in which Investors must BUY a stock, whereas the Bid is normally the price where the Investor is required to SELL the stock. If you must buy (Ask) the stock at $2.00, but the Bid is only $1.00 then the stock must gain $1.00, or DOUBLE, just to break even. The Knobias Stock Score utilizes the Percent Spread or the amount of "spread" as a percentage of price. Knobias then averages the Percent Spread over 20 trading sessions for a more accurate measurement. Less than 3% spread: +2 3% - 4.99% spread: +1 5% - 6.99% spread: 0 7% - 19.99% spread: -1 20% or more spread: -2 VOLITILITY: Price Volitility Rating: The Knobias Stock Score hopes to give Investors an indication of the average amount that a stock's price may move, UP OR DOWN on any given day. This may tell the Investor what the likely price movement may be and therefore what the investing risk may ultimately be. Knobias uses each day's Percent Change in stock price and averages it over 20 trading sessions for consistency. Less than 4% Avg Price Chg: +2 4% - 6.99% Avg Price Chg: +1 7% - 9.99% Avg Price Chg: 0 10% - 14.99% Avg Price Chg: -1 15% or more Avg Price Chg: -2 -------- The Knobias Stock Score is a PROPRIETARY measurement of a particular stock's trading risk and availaibility of reliable information. The Stock Score DOES NOT measure the investment quality or value of any stock in any way. It is instead meant to inform investors about the willingness of an Outside Market Company to provide the investing community with current and accurate information. It is also a good indicator of the likely day to day risk of entering or exiting a position and the stock's volitility while holding a position.
