They might well be solid, but given the info below... it's just hard to conceptualize it as a platform to scream about.chartwellinternational.com CHARTWELL'S ASSETS: Chartwell is the majority owner of SportsStar Marketing, Inc., and owns National College Recruiting Association, Inc. and BlueChip Illustrated magazine. SportsStar, through its NCRA and HELP Divisions, assists high school students find scholarships, merit awards, and other forms of financial aide for college. As of July 13, 1999, SportsStar (OTC Bulletin Board: SSMK) and its recently acquired CBSA changed the corporate name to College Bound Student Alliance, Inc. and began trading under the new ticker symbol (GRAD). This move serves to better reflect the new corporate directions following the recent acquisitions of College Bound Student-Athletes, Inc. as well as its former acquisitions NCRA and Blue Chip Illustrated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company holds substantial gypsum deposits, which were acquired several years ago. Chartwell is pursuing a strategy for the advancement of these gypsum holdings and is actively seeking a buyer for its gypsum. The Company holds the right to mine gypsum from the Riverview Placer Claims, located in Washington County near St. George, Utah. In addition, in September 1993 the Company filed 12 un-patented claims in the same general area. There is no assurance, however, that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. The Company's ability to mine the gypsum will be dependent on the results of further exploration and evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility, and a determination that commercially viable mineral deposits exist. Laboratory tests of the gypsum samples and geological studies established that the Riverview Placer Claims contain gypsum suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, dental, and other high grade applications. An in-depth report is available to serious buyers. Food/pharmaceutical-grade gypsum commands a substantial premium in price over the conventional lower grade gypsum that is commonly used in the construction and agricultural industry. Chartwell’s intention is to sell its claims and its right to mine this gypsum. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company has listed its 200 acres of prime residential (undeveloped) land in Ramona, California in San Diego County for sale. This property is located just south of the San Diego County Estates Golf Course and an equestrian center, and north of the Barona Indian Reservation with its newly constructed casino. Situated within one of the fastest growing counties in the U.S., this real estate package is expected to generate top dollar in its sale . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTLOOK: The Company is currently focused on completing the development of its subsidiary, CBSA., which is anticipating considerable growth in 2000. A team of experts with proven track records has been assembled. The Company also plans to realize substantial returns on the conversion of its long-term investments and is committed to completing profitable acquisitions in the future.
