Good Day! Bexar,

Welcome to the thread! I am not completely surprised that even with some goods things in the works ( JMO) with JNNE and a few other opportunities I am following to see them under a little downward pressure!

In my opinion there are several reasons for this temporary ( I hope) situation.

On Friday we closed with significant trading volumes, a growing following, many I imagine were already at that time looking forward to see what Monday morning would bring!

What I think happened after that is with the Holiday long Weekend arriving -with the extra day-off--took out some of the investment steam that was there at the close on Friday!

So! In my view even though some Excellent information regarding JNNE's business developments with Costco was shared on this thread by Lance over the weekend--my take on all this is it's taking investors a little longer to get back into their investment headset following the holidays---and I would also imagine that there are dynamics in the OTC-BB trading environment that are taking advantage of this lull!

Just my own opinion!

Best Regards,

Wayne J.

- GENERAL BUSINESS INFO -
In 1998, JNNE expects to be one only 2.5% of all OTC:BB companies
that report positive earnings.

JNNE derives recurring income from 2 interactive information
technology sources:

1) ADVERTISING REVENUES- This core business is an interactive
information technology system. The recent acquisition of
COMMUNITY MARQUEE represents the cornerstone around which
other acquisitions will be developed. Negotiations are presently
underway to acquire another existing advertising/marketing business
located in Southern California.

This interactive information technology system operates in public
locations. Advertisers pay a yearly fee. In return, they get an
illuminated interactive advertising/communication center located in
high traffic areas that target particular machete segments. Consumers
see the ads and can inquire or respond instantly for reservations,
appointments, new accounts, deliveries, requested catalogs,
job-banks, or any of the other products and services advertised.
Current advertisers include many nationally known companies.
Gross margins are projected in the 60%-70% range with a majority of
the annual ad fee paid up front, which acts to self-finance each
system.

JNNE currently markets to community colleges and universities in
Southern California with intentions to expand into other states as
rapidly as possible. JNNE is already in negotiations with fifteen new
universities. JNNE has also entered into marketing alliances with five
regional advertising agencies across the U.S. Additional locations
currently under consideration include shopping centers, amusement
parks, hotels, and airports.

The direct response aspect of this interactive system can also
generate computerized databases for lead generation to provide
advertisers with cost effective follow up and additional sales
opportunities. Mailing list databases, consumer surveys, and other
automated features can also be used.

Current advertisers on the system include the U.S. Army Recruitment
Offices, Enterprise Rental Car, Great Western Savings, National
University, Manpower Inc. [NYSE:MAN - news], Temporary
Employment Agency, Round Table Pizza and a host of independent
businesses.

Revenues in 1998 from this core business are expected to be about
$1.3 Million with Net Earnings of about $156,600.

Revenues for 1999 for this segment are expected to be about $3
Million with Net Earnings of about $360,000.

Revenues for 2000 for this segment are expected to be about $7
Million with Net Earnings of about $840,000.

2) ROYALTY REVENUES from Royal West Sales -

JNNE worked with Royal West Sales to develop a financial services
agreement between COSTCO Wholesale and a leading residential
real estate computer loan originator under the direction of Gary Stines, Executive Vice President of Royal West.

Royal West Sales, Inc. is a sales representative and consultant to
worldwide consumer electronics enterprises which include Orion
Electronics, TEAC Consumer Products, Kiwi Computers and Sansui
Electronics among others.

As part of that agreement, JNNE receives a percentage of ongoing
revenues (royalties) that are generated from mortgage loan fees
charged to borrowers. COSTCO offers mortgage loans to their
members. Customary mortgage fees of about 1% of the total mortgage
loan are charged to the borrower.

However, COSTCO offers their members an incentive in which the
member can get part of the mortgage loan fee rebated to them when
they go through COSTCO for their home loan. This is a substantial
savings to the member.

Royal West Sales and JNNE share part of the remaining fee. On a
typical loan of $180,000 the average amount JNNE receives is about
$65.

In the first 6 months that COSTCO has offered this program (during
which the program was offered to a limited part of COSTCO
membership), they have processed $1 Billion in loans.

COSTCO is pleased with program and expect to open it up to all of
their members, which now number over 15 million people.
During the year of 1998, it appears that COSTCO will process $3 - $4
Billion in loans.

That means that in 1998, JNNE could receive about $1.08 Million to
$1.44 Million in royalty income from the COSTCO marketing program.

In 1999, COSTCO expects to process about $35 Billion in loans.
Accordingly, JNNE royalty income would amount to about $12.63
Million.
