Holmes and Watson are out in the countryside investigating a mystery. Night falls and they are about to rest. Holmes asks Watson a question.... What do you see in the sky? Watson answers that he sees many stars and full moon.. Yes, but what does it mean, insists Holmes..? Well practically speaking the sky is beautiful and weather tomorrow must be clear...theologically speaking, it means that God is Great and mysterious. Holmes replies- That is all true..But I see that somebody has stolen our tent. quoted from SI alias Goldsnow. Um, DinO and Gino, nir's got some beauty all right, but its price has collapsed.

Hi Tim: I'm long on NIR - time is on my side. Sure I would like to take some short-term profits now - but that'll have to wait. I don't have the skills to play the up's and down's as others claim to have - one day perhaps. Look where management has taken Napier from in just the last twelve months - takes some doing. I am confident that with the products developed and the linkages made - plus the very positive comments from key players (ICI and K-G) that Napier will do very well for investors who hold wait out the up's and down's while it's still in the penny stock class. There are new linkages being formed at present from what I hear - so I am quite content to remain where I am for now. It may be just too early in Napier's development cycle for some investors - who may chose to get out and return when NIR finds a more stable and higher base that's supported by strong numbers. For me I want to learn all I can about companies like Napier - so that I'm well prepared for the next one that comes along - may not have the same potential - but the mecahnics will be similar. In any case the profits will come in time - of course the sooner the better. Just hang tough and try not to get too close if your nerves are frayed. If we stay at these levels for the next six weeks I'll be able to grab another 3,000 shares. I hope we move above $2 soon so I can get my BMO margin going. I took a small loss with my last margin - but I was acting on advice from Scotia McLeod which turned out to be wrong - so we're going to be doing some talking over the next little while - it's more of a principle thing than anything else - I shouldn't have to take a (small) loss because they were wrong in their advice. In any case it is an eye-opener for me to see how the 'system' works close up - full of flaws and screw ups like anything else I guess. I'm going to talk to a couple more folks tomorrow and I'll post a debrief here if I get anything useful. Napier is not immune from the volatlity in the markets as a whole. There have been calls for a correction in the markets for a while now - and from what I read there seems to be a consensus that we are 2/3 of the way through it. We are just above the level where we would technically be in a correction (down 10% from the Dow high - i.e., 8,400), whereas a bear market is 20% down off the high ~7,500 on the Dow. We've just going sideways within a 8,400 - 9,300 trading range. I understand that there may be another News release this week from what Chris has posted. In any case Napier deserves a higher share price than today's close. David :-)

Why you asked- It is extremely important to note that the Hydrostrip 500 Series consists of new and patented technology and is not based on the three traditional and evolved stripping technologies of: methylene chloride, caustics or N-Methyl,Pyrrolidone (NMP). The current Hydrostrip 500 Series, namely 501, 502, 503, 504 (and others will be made available in the near future) are water based and environmentally friendly. All the constituents/products of the Hydrostrip Series are 100% biodegradable in water and soil. In contrast, other environmentally friendly paint stripper systems are invariably less biodegradable and much less effective in removing paints and coatings. The Hydrostrip 500 Series products are available from ICI Devoe in 1 gallon, 5 gallon and 55 gallon drums and it is anticipated that they will soon be available in aerosol cans. Mr. Ron Graham, of ICI Devoe in Edmonton, Alberta has been conducting research with different Hydrostrip 500 Series products to test how well they work on generically different and high performance coatings. The results are tremendously encouraging For the record, it should be recognized that Hydrostrip 500 Series products can readily remove all brands of antifouling paint and many external paint systems including the non-skid coatings on aircraft carrier decks. Please note that ICI Devoe does not sell coatings to the marine sector at this time. Other technical aspects are of great interest. For instance, the technology utilized in Hydrostrip 502 conforms to the Boeing D6-17487 Revision weight loss requirements when tested on the following metal alloys: In summary, the Hydrostrip 500 Series Coating Removal Alternative offers a revolutionary and patented technology to remove a variety of coatings from all sorts of substrates in almost every industrial environment conceivable. The continued development of highly specialized coatings along with changing views on health, safety and pollution will ensure the future growth of specialized coating removers, that offer a safe and economic means to remove existing coating systems. For further details please contact Ron Graham at 403-454 4900 or the undersigned at 604-299 7454. Dr. Mike O'Donoghue Engineering and Technical Services Manager Special thanks to Ron Graham (for his research and Table 4) and Ron Garrett for input with this newsletter. Testing with other products is ongoing and the list above is continuously being updated by Ron Graham. For further details and test results please contact Ron Graham, ICI Devoe Coatings Edmonton, Alberta tel: 403-454-4900, fax: 403-454-5245. After 10 years of assessing the hazards of methylene chloride, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has determined that the current exposure limits still allow a significant health risk to employees (methylene chloride is considered to be a carcinogen). As a chlorinated agent, methylene chloride is also considered as one of the main ozone depleting agents. So what can be used as a viable alternative? The answer is the Hydrostrip 500 Series. napierintl.com
