Just a word regarding your use of terminology: None of these fund companies you listed acted as principals on this stock as it contravenes IDA guidelines for compliance. They may be investors in the companies shares, but to act as principals means to sell shares from your existing inventory to fill investors orders. The reason I'am posting this is to inform people that this kind of talk can lead to all sorts of misinterpretations. As for Altamira, what fund holds ATF? I cannot find any fund which holds shares in the Altamira family, as for the others I haven't the time to check, but where did you get this info from?

To All: On February 18th, 1995 the Financial Post had an article written by Erik Heinrich [Auto Industry Reporter] entitled, "Alternative Fuel Cars in political tug of War." Here are some excerpts from that article: -Detroit's Big Three Automakers have been developing alternatives to gasoline powered vehicles, including cars and light trucks that run on natural gas, propane, methane, and electricity, since the energy crisis of the early 1970's. [ So can you really fault Alter- native Fuel Systems for taking a few years longer than anticipated to receive their first contract.] -The refueling infrastructure for natural gas is not nearly as well developed. [ Another reason that it has taken longer for A.F.S. to complete contracts. The Countries infrastructure to support natural gas had to be either upgraded or put in place. i.e. Compressor stations, pipeline, etc. Why buy a conversion system if you don't have the refueling stations in place? ] -The next trigger of growth will require strong Government action. [ We are finally starting to see that Governments are getting involved as witnessed recently in Kobe, Japan. ] -Gerald Doucet, president and chief executive of the Canadian Natural Gas Association, estimates Canadians will be driving 300,000 natural gas vehicles by the year 2000 up from the present level of about 32,000 out of a population of 15 million. To get another prospective on Noram /Alternative Fuel Systems visit the Web site, w.w.w. stockpro.com This web site is put up by The High Growth Publishing Group, Everett Gust, Editor. Go to Services, then "Newsletter Archives" for Jan., Feb., April, 1996 and Feb., May, June 1997. You will find under Update and Outlook, articles about our Company that pertain to that time period. I am sure you will enjoy reading them. Finally, I have studied this Company for sometime and firmly believe that all present shareholders will prosper greatly in the coming months. The technology is proven and well tested, the management group is open and honest. This Company, hopefully will be soon leaving the Vancouver Stock Exchange and Mr.Baines for "Greener Exchanges." [ No pun intended. ] Thank-you for your time and interest. Rw
