April 16 12:50 PM. ..A Letter from CHARLIE BALLANCE Subject: Wow... what a turn of events..!!! :( !! Date: Thu, 16 Apr 1998 00:50:25 -0400 From: "lifeman" <lifeman@.. To: <badlee@flash.net> Hey dave, Just figued i send ya a e-mail and say howdy. Geeze i been trying to keep up with all the post since the 300 - 1 reverse split. Got most of the ones from the day read....or allmost all of them. I was just going to let you know how this guy feels......i feel very disappointed and maybe a little taken advantage of ? But i have no one to blame for except my self, i was the one that decided to spend the money. And it was me that bought the second round of shares that i had bought. As i have mentioned in some of my post in the past when i was able to post...... that i am new to this investing hobby.And i am learning as i go....!! But i can tell you now....that i was not sure exactually what a reverse split would do....or how it would effect me,, cause i have never been in one...!!! But let me tell ya my man....i can tell you what one is now...!! LOL.. I know its not a laughing matter. And i am sorta pissed a little bit that they can legally do this to the current shareholders. My investment in CVIA was only a small amount compared to a few of the others out there on the thread. As i found out this week, its easy to get burned in the market. I feel like they have stabbed us in the back,,, blood gushing on the floor, and they walked away to stuff there pockets. I was a new comer to CVIA, had only recently purchased my shares that i own, but for you and others that has been helping to keep the CVIA dream alive , mataining your confidence and setting thru the long months for this merger to happen. I know you and the others feel slapped in the face...... i sure have felt that way, and i only been a share holder for a very short time. Oh well...... when you play with fire you get burned..!! But look,,,i know you are busy trying to figure out what you are going to do...from here on out..! But if you would like you can post this e-mail i am sending you.....or just let every body on the thread know, that i say hi, and my thoguhts are with them all, wishing them all well, what ever the out come will be on this merger ,,,, reverse split. !! Hopefully , jack arnold and the new management will rethink what they have done. But good luck to you dave and to all the CVIA investers. Sorry i am not able to post any more....but my trial membership has ran out...... plus maybe its been a good thing that i have not been able to post....i might have said a few things that no body would have wanted to here....!! And to wayne j ....... thanks for your post on the thread, and the time you have taken to express your views and opions and feed back from what you have talked about with Jack Arnold, the times you have called. Don,t let some of the post on here from some of the people on here, discourage your post . Its not your fault to what has happened, and i for one am not pointing any fingers at you. But thanks again Wayne j. And for now...... i am going to go to bed. To wake and see what tommorrow brings. Good nite all..!!!! See ya dave.!! CHARLIE BALLANCE
