To All:

There was a write up in the Calgary Herald today titled " Pelorus Share Run Into Turbulence Despite Success".
It stated that Calgary-based Pelorus is widely considered to be the global pioneer in the development of satellite landing systems and asked why its shares aren't reflecting its market potential.
Basically they indicate that the market expected a huge flood of orders when Pelorus and Honeywell received approval from the FAA for their system last August. The airline industry is very conservative and even if they do agree to buy the system they will do it on a gradual basis.
Also they indicated that management wasn't focused enough on Investor Relations, instead they concentrated on properly managing the Honeywell relationship. Also the stock faltered because management was not keeping the market informed of its activities.
According to analyst Mike Hill at Acumen Capital Partners, Honeywell has a Citation jet flying around in the U.S. doing demonstrations on the SLS and is in discussions with a number of significant airlines, including Continental and United.
Rob Tedham, an investment adviser with ScotiaMcLeod, likes the company because it offers the opportunity for cheap ownership in the Honeywell world navigation group. " And the sales of SLS will take off; it's just a question of when because the FAA has set a deadline for implementation of these systems by 2010," says Tedham.

Hopefully we will see a turnaround this year.
Regards,
Bonnie

Pelorus Navigation receives order for satellite landing systems

Mr. Miichael Beamish reports
Pelorus Navigation Systems has received a purchase order from Honeywell for 11 more Honeywell/Pelorus SLS-2000 Satellite Landing Systems.
"This order represents potential revenue of approximately $3-million Canadian including systems, installation and customer training, all scheduled for delivery over the next 12 months at airports in North, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia," said Michael Beamish, president and chief executive officer, Pelorus Navigation Systems. "We anticipate that this order, together with previously announced projected revenue from other products, will restore our company to profitability in its fiscal year beginning June 1, 1999."
The Honeywell/Pelorus SLS-2000 precision approach and landing system, which has been publicly endorsed by the FAA, is considered to deliver improved operational and safety benefits at significantly lower cost than conventional landing guidance systems.
Mr. Beamish noted: "This order represents another step in the commercialization of the Honeywell/Pelorus SLS-2000, leading to its universal adoption by the world's airports. We anticipate substantial orders for the Honeywell/Pelorus SLS-2000 following regulatory approvals of the technology for unrestricted public commercial use as a precision approach and landing system some 18 to 24 months hence."
In early April, 1999, amid growing industry enthusiasm for satellite-based landing technology, the FAA signed a government industry partnership (GIP) agreement with Honeywell to jointly develop advanced LAAS technology. The FAA at that time reaffirmed its intention to purchase 143 advanced capability, satellite-based, precision approach and landing systems. The Honeywell/Pelorus SLS-2000 will be well-positioned to compete for this requirement. These systems will be based on a specification expected to be published soon by the FAA.
"We believe the specification of Honeywell/Pelorus SLS-2000 will be close to the FAA's requirements but will require design modification and recertification, a process that may take 18 to 24 months to complete," explained Mr. Beamish. "In the meantime, the order for the SLS systems announced today adds to the growing number of airports in the United States and abroad that have chosen the Honeywell/Pelorus SLS-2000 as their precision approach and landing system of the future."
