Thanks for the E-mail for Harvey of FOCUS PARTNERS. I sent him the following this morning. If enough of us tighten the screws and fill his inbox, he'll either run screaming into the night, or we'll finally be able to play on an even field with the other big boys. Mr. Goralnik: First, welcome. We the investors need you, and ATPX the stock needs you. I have been with ATPX for almost a year now, mostly in her previous LUNN manifestation, and am also an SI faithful, although not usually a vocal one. I feel compelled to stick my spoon in the pot now though, given the lackluster (lackeverything) past few months. I won't go over the hibernation ATPX has gone through lately, suffice to say quite a few investors have seriously considered the possiblility that ATPX has been intentionally driving the price down for some nefarious reason. I've just always thought her masters didn't know what the heck they were doing in investor relations. Well, anyway, they've finally come through with the promised PR firm, and now attention shifts to you. Get ready, because I imagine that pressure on you to DO SOMETHING is going to build geometrically. In fact that's exactly my suggestion. DO SOMETHING. And tomorrow wouldn't be too soon. You don't need to wait for earnings, or for news that ATPX is going to supply 90% of all airplane parts for the combined fleets of the free world - just a list of recent contracts would do, maybe something forward looking as well. How about a simple official announcement, not second hand through SI, that your firm has been hired to rouse this sleeper? We could start there. At the risk of preaching to the choir, the idea is to make some noise, draw some attention. To tell you the truth, notwithstanding the length of time I've been with LUNN/ATPX, and my opinion that ATPX is a good company and a great future performer, my finger was still seriously hovering over the dump button when all of a sudden I found out on SI that you were come aboard. I'm still ready to cut and run, especially when I think of the opportunity costs of having let my money languish these many months, but I've retracted my finger for a little while more to give you some time to show us what a big New York PR firm can do. You have our undivided attention. Michael Cavallaro
