Founder of low-cost vehicle company arrested

By Gail Appleson

NEW YORK, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The founder of World Transport Authority Inc. <WTAI.OB>, a company that sells licenses to build a low-cost utility vehicle, was arrested on Friday for allegedly causing the company to lie about its expected sales.

Douglas Norman, 61, a Canadian citizen who lives in El Cajon, California, was indicted for allegedly scheming to boost the company's share price in 2000 and 2001 and then selling his holdings for more than $1.6 million. The indictment was unsealed on Friday in Manhattan federal court.

Norman, who was arrested at his home, is charged with one count of securities fraud. If convicted, he could face a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a $1 million fine.

Also on Friday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a related civil suit against Norman accusing him of a carrying out a "campaign of deception." The suit seeks a court order forcing him to repay the illegal profits and barring him from acting as an officer or director of any publicly traded company. It also seeks unspecified penalties.

Neither Norman nor a spokesman for the company could immediately be reached for comment.

World Transport Authority, located in El Cajon, California, sells licenses for the manufacture of the low-cost WorldStar utility vehicle.

Federal authorities said Norman is the self-described founder of the company and the controlling stockholder. Both the civil and criminal cases said he is the vice president of international sales, and a company employee confirmed that he still holds that title.

WTA's Web site states that the WorldStar vehicle costs less than $7,000, has fewer than 500 moving parts and runs on three types of fuels. It says the company "provides the capability for emerging nations throughout the world to be automobile and truck producing countries."

Authorities said WTA's core business is promoting the sale of the vehicle and a system to make it. They said the company's literature claims that a "micro-factory" to make the cars can be built in about 90 days.

To carry out its business, the company sells "master licenses" that gives the licensee an exclusive marketing territory, typically covering one or two countries or a geographic region.

The indictment alleged that Norman schemed to inflate WTA's stock price by authorizing the company to issue a series of false press releases and by paying a consultant to post misleading statements on Internet message boards about the company's activities and expected WorldStar and license sales.

Norman knew that WTA faced substantial obstacles in making money from WorldStar sales as the vehicle was not ready for production at the time of the releases and postings, the indictment charged.

The WorldStar vehicle also had not received government approval for production or sale in the countries where production was to occur, according to the charges.

The indictment charged that the false statements convinced numerous investors to buy WTA common stock and that some of them bought their shares directly from Norman. He then sold large amounts of the stock, reaping more than $1 million in illegal profits, it said.

AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM RMEC PAST SCAMMY CEO:"We thank all of you who have held the faith and been here for the long haul. We believe that your patience and trust will be rewarded."

Letter from CEO 3/31/03


Houston, Texas - March 31, 2003 - Dear Shareholder, Over the last week you have witnessed some significant movement at Rocky Mountain. We have two new directors and have purchased a company that gives us significant cash flow per month. Our new board members bring significant support to us in their management skills and financial contacts.

Mr. Molina is a business consultant to various government and industrial clients in Central and South America. He represents numerous investment and institutional funds. Mr. Molina has accumulated 30 years of experience representing American companies throughout Latin America. Currently, he is serving as President of Zeros Energy Systems International and is implementing the marketing strategy of the patented Zero-emission Energy Recycling Oxidation System for Latin America and the State of Florida. In addition, he is coordinating Dade County and the State of Florida EPA in support of a proposal for remediation of the Miami River before the US Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Molina was appointed by Mayor Suarez to head the Miami Economic Development Office, in which he relocated light industry to the depressed areas of the city to bring about revitalization. He has represented such clients as Peabody Peterson, Superior Products Int'l, Lawyer's Title Insurance Co. and International Games Technology (Las Vegas) in Latin America and represented companies and governments of Central and Latin America in the United States.

John Sifonis is a Managing Director in the Internet Business Solutions Group of Cisco Systems. Mr. Sifonis has over thirty-seven years of industry and management consulting experience. Prior to joining Cisco Systems, Inc., Mr. Sifonis, was the Chief Executive Officer of SAI International, LLC, a management consulting firm specializing in formulating business and information technology strategies. He is currently responsible for Cisco's Global Energy Practice. Under his leadership Cisco's global energy practice has delivered outstanding financial performance exceeding annual goals by as much as 300 percent. Over the past three years, Mr. Sifonis and his team have conducted over 100 Executive Briefing Sessions for domestic as well as global energy companies. His clients include Texaco, Chevron, British Petroleum, Exxon Mobile, Duke Energy, Halliburton and Royal Dutch Shell. He is an author of three business books including one of which was listed on the Wall Street Journal bestseller business book list. You will note an S-8 is being filed to give them stock. It is all §144 as they are insiders so you will not see it hit the market except through §144 restrictions.

Of equal importance as our new directors is the closing of OCS, Inc. (Oilwell Control Services, Inc.). OCS, Inc is one of only five companies in the world qualified to interdict oil wells which are blowing out or on fire. During the first Gulf War, OCS, Inc. was one of the companies which helped put out the fires in Kuwait. In that regard, OCS, Inc. has been put on notice by Halliburton that they may be called up in the event of a similar situation in this current conflict. We are proud to be able to provide support to our war effort in this capacity should the need arise. OCS, Inc. maintains service agreements with most of the major oil companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp., ChevronTexaco Corp. and ConocoPhillips as well as major supplies and service companies like Halliburton Co., Fluor Corp., Bechtel, and Lockwood Green. The company's proprietary products include the Zeros System remediation plant to clean up waste material for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The company will net $12 million annually from this contract. The company will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of RMEC. Mr. Clark will remain as manager of the company.

The acquisition was financed through the issuance of a $5 million convertible note, payable March, 2006 at 2½ % interest. Mr. Clark received a consulting agreement to act as manager of the company at $10,000 per month. If the note is converted OCS, Inc. will be the largest shareholder of RMEC with 30+ million shares. These shares will be subject to insider rules under §144 and will thus be restricted under §144. This acquisition not only bears heavily on our development of existing proved undeveloped reserves in that we have proprietary systems designed to improve coalbed methane well performance but also provides the monthly cash flow to self fund our development programs to further increase our cash flow. The cavitation process which OCS developed with Halliburton is a "controlled underground blowout" for lack of a better term. Burlington has used it extensively in the Rockies and has coal gas wells that produced 11,000 mcfpd versus an expected 1,000 mcfpd. Average wells do 3,000 mcfpd to 5,000 mcfpd on this process. As we have some 200 coal gas wells to drill, this technology should prove invaluable to us.

The fact that OCS will produce $12 million in net income from contracts on its Zero's Remediation Systems this year (12 month period) needs no explanation. Everyone can agree that $12 million in income per year as a base will be a good thing for RMEC and provide our budget to self fund our core business. It is interesting to speculate on what impact the sales and installation of further Zeros Remediation Systems will have on our operations and bottom line performance.

As a result of closing the above, we have ceased pursuit of two of the acquisitions that we have spoken of previously. These are the two smaller acquisitions announced January 31, 2003 ($8 million purchase price doing $150,000 per month) and March 4, 2003 ($11.2 million purchase price doing $400,000 per month). Our assets, time and attention are better used elsewhere at present. We continue to pursue closing on the other projects. Perhaps we will be able to announce another closing very soon.

On the merger front, this acquisition makes us much more attractive, but also puts us in the position of not needing a merger to move off of the OTCBB. Thus, we are in a much stronger negotiating position as the profit and net worth requirements can be satisfied through the above "fundamentals". We are continuing negotiations on the merger front. As I have held for these past months, building fundamentals will take care of the stock price. As we succeed in doing so, we will advance our cause. Hence, my statements to many of you that this is a long term hold, not a "short term trade". Our decisions have to be based on building our fundamentals, not daily fluctuations of our stock. The value of what we are doing should be reflected in our stock value.
