HERE IT IS: MY PICK AS PROMISED ITKG INTEGRAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ITKG has an external board of advisors comprised of Senior Representatives of AT&T, Lucent Technologies and General Atomics. Integral Technologies has been discovered by the aforementioned Fortune 500 executives and in our opinion will soon be well recognized in the investment community as well. Integral Technologies Inc. (ITI) is a venture capital company established to capitalize on new technologies or advancements in technology which have already completed their basic research phase and are ready for commercialization. The company is closely aligned with the Center for Industrial Research Applications (CIRA) at West Virginia University (WVU), a unique research center within WVU that develops proprietary new technologies useful to industry. ITI has acquired the rights to develop and license four new technologies created at CIRA: 1. Contrawound Toridal Helical Antenna (CTHA) - Outperforms similar antennas by 300%. Broad applicability in the mobile wireless communications industry. 2. Plasma Ignition System - Improves fuel economy in lean burn engines and reduces pollution. 3. 2D Machine Vision Colorimetry - A solution to detect counterfeit currency and checks. 4. 3D Machine Vision Colorimetry - Ensures color quality control to save manufacturers millions. For more details on the above technologies go to the ITKG website: The Integral Technologies Inc. Home Page The CTHA has been sucessfully tested and has resulted in the requisition of prototypes by some of the largest antenna users in the world. Integral Technologies is poised to capture a significant share of the machine vision market alone which is in excess of $700 million. ITI's Plasma Ignition System has already attracted the attention of major North American automobile manufacturers and ITI is confident in its ability to generate significant revenues from the licensing of this technology. All the technologies in which ITI has acquired an interest meet the investment criteria of it's shareholders. That is, each is a unique, patented technology, has a defined market need, has been through the initial costly research and development stage and has enormous revenue potential from the commercialization of such. ITKG will be releasing additional members of the Board of Advisors over the next 90 days. Integral brings to its mission the right combination of human and technological resources which justify giving ITI a close look. Shares Outstanding: 14,300,000 Estimated Float: 6,300,000 Contact Person: Michael R. Pound mpound@itechfin.com 1-888-666-8833 Float - 6M ITKG will be announcing a small contract which further validates their CTHA antenna technology. Their past few press release's mention General Atomics and Northrop-Grumman. It is rumored that they have something big coming soon regarding one of these two prominent companies. This is going to be a great long. Sitting at the bottom. Please do your own dd. I have been following this company for quite a while and believe that they are evolving from an R&D company to a profitable enterprise. Furthermore, their association with the "big names" render them vulnerable to a takeover in my opinion. Jodi

Eric, CNGR can sell their Inktomi shares after about 5 more months. Or they can request to sell them earlier and if Inktomi allows it, they can sell at any time. RCJIII

Thursday June 11, 8:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Post-IPO Trading Values Crown Group's Holding of Inktomi Corp. at $8 Million DALLAS--(BUSINSS WIRE)--June 11, 1998--Crown Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNGR - news) today announced that the market value of its investment holding in Inktomi Corp. (Nasdaq:INKT - news) approximated $8 million at the end of Inktomi's first day of trading. Inktomi Corp., headquartered in San Mateo, California, designs and manufactures software designed to ease congestion on the Internet. In February 1998, The Crown Group purchased 222,222 shares (adjusted for a 2-for-3 reverse split) of Inktomi Corp. common stock as an investment at a price of $4.50 per share when Inktomi was a private company. Inktomi went public yesterday at an initial offering price of $18.00 per share, in an underwriting managed by Goldman Sachs & Co., BT Alex. Brown, and Hambrecht & Quist. The price of Inktomi shares traded as high as $38.63 on Wednesday and closed the day at a price of $36.00. Based upon yesterday's closing price, The Crown Group's 222,222 Inktomi shares were valued at approximately $8 million, compared with the Company's cost basis of $1 million. The Company's unrealized gain on its investment in Inktomi Corp. approximated $7 million at the end of the stock market session on June 10, 1998. Under GAAP accounting rules, The Crown Group's published income statements will not recognize any profit or loss from its investment in Inktomi shares until all or part of the investment is sold. However, the Company's balance sheet will reflect the market value of the shares at the end of each quarter, until all of the Inktomi shares owned by the Company are sold. Due to the existence of a lock-up agreement between The Crown Group and the underwriters, these securities cannot be sold until six months after the initial public offering date. ''While most of The Crown Group's assets are comprised of majority equity positions in small-cap companies with strong growth potential, we are very pleased with the performance of our Inktomi investment after yesterday's initial public offering,'' commented Edward R. McMurphy, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Crown Group. ''Our primary goal is to build value for our shareholders, and we continue to be alert to opportunities which are consistent with this objective.'' Crown Group, Inc. (''Crown''), which operates as The Crown Group, is a diversified company which seeks to enhance shareholder value through the acquisition, development, and operation of small-cap companies with significant growth potential. Such companies can benefit from Crown's financial and management expertise.
