JOE/ALL: Please remind people of the MM games of "Walking down the bid". I hate to see new investors fall for it. We know about it but I hate when MM's "steal" shares from others unaware of their games.

They do this a lot. They in fact did it right at the close Friday, but more significantly last week when it was $2.25/2.31

I watched on LEVEL 2 as they manufactured a selloff.

They lowered it down a bit on light buying, then when they got one sell, they lowered it down 10 cents, then started a mini selloff, all on very light selling. They knocked it down to $1.56 bid/1.68 ask. Of course most of us benefitted by buying more shares....

And guess what we popped right back to $2.00 again.

More contractual news is coming soon, so be watching.

Anyway, they will try this again and again, so it might be nice to remind new investors from time to time. Anyone with Level 2 can help spot their games very easily.

I don't think it will be much of a problem from now on, as more people than ever are holding for Q2 financials at least that will come out in July.

They will be awesome, in my opinion.

... and there will also be much great news between now and then.

HOLD AND BUY EVERY LITTLE DIP: that is my advice and don't fall for the little games.

Everyone who has sold the last few weeks has come to regret it.

Last post for awhile....take care!

Great job all!

**** MRPS 1999 PROFIT ESTIMATE ****

Based on signed contracts announced by MRPS in company press releases, and using the actual gross profit revenue figures attached to those contracts where possible and conservative estimates where not, the following represents my estimate of net profits for MRPS as of this date 4/17/99.

Many of the contracts below extend into the year 2000 and beyond. In those cases, I have estimated 1999 profits. The revenue amounts listed are presumably the gross profit figures to MRPS after cost of product. In other words, these numbers represent:
Gross Sales Revenue minus any discount to customer minus any sales commissions/distributor markup minus cost of producing product = Gross profit to MRPS.

*FORD US
Contract to deliver 6,553 Model A07 units for Ford dealerships. MRPS says this represents in excess of.............................................. $1,400,000.(Est. $900,000 in 1999)

*FORD Europe
Contract to deliver 9,700 Model A07 units through SPX. MRPS says this represents in excess of.............................................. $2,100,000.(Est. $1,200,000 in 1999)

*GENERAL MOTORS
Blanket purchase order to sell Model 111RCK to 64 plants. Dayton and maybe Pontiac plants have already purchased approximately 40 units. 9 other plants will be visited in 90 days.
To date sold represents in excess of...... $60,000. It has been estimated by MRPS that each plant will purchase 20 to 40 units (30 each are assumed here). 1999 - 22 plants @ 30 units @ $1,500 gross profit = $1,000,000.Est. for 1999

*F&M Mafco
Distributor to the paper, petrochemical, power, steel and construction marketplace.
Contract to buy 1,000 Model 111RCK, at a rate of 75 min. per month. MRPS says this represents in excess of.............................................. $1,400,000. (Est. $1,000,000 in 1999 )

* JUD-TECH
Distributor to oil industry in western Canada. MRPS says this represents in excess of.............................................. $500,000.

* Day & Associates
Distributor to the trucking industry (Ryder, Penske, Mack, etc.). Contract to purchase 3,500 Model 111RCK over 24 months beginning 6/1/99 at rate of 146 units per month ($211,000 per month gross profit).
Contract will generate in excess of.....$3,500,000 (Est. $1,477,000 in 1999)

MRPS has therefore announced signed contracts for in excess of $10,000,000 gross profit (probably close to $20,000,000 gross sales) of which I estimate gross profit in 1999 alone to be $6,077,000.
Assuming a 45% internal overhead+taxes, I get a minimum of $3,342,350 in net net divided by 10M shares outstanding yields a .33 cent pe x a conservative 20PE multiple = $6.60 value as of 4/17/99

HOWEVER:
MRPS has also announced signed contracts with a number of other customers for which we do not have accurate revenue numbers. These additional current customers include: NASCAR, DELCO, the Army Corp of Engineers . ALSO, we know from MRPS that they are in negotiation now with over 100 other potential customers. ALSO, we know they are pursuing additional distributors in various industries. ALSO, the above represents efforts only to date 4/17/99 with over 8 months to go in 1999.

THEREFORE,

I think it reasonable to extrapolate from the above figures and suggest that a $8.00 to $10.00 is fair market value AT THIS TIME (4/17/99) (conservatively) for MRPS.

NOTE: MRPS business plan of utilizing first class contract manufacturers to produce their Ultraphonics products (Bulova and UMM Electronics) and in addition to direct sales, utilizing a growing number of specific industry distributors is pure genius for achieving rapid growth, exposure, and reputation with minimal costs and giving them sales to a wide spectrum of customers that could not be reached by themselves right now. Added Bonus: MRPS gets to release a new pr every time one of those distributors signs a juicy contract with a name customer.

The above are my understanding of MRPS press releases and my estimates where accurate numbers were not present. Please consult MRPS press releases and do your own due diligence.

MRPS in its recent 4/16/99 press release has stated that the first quarter of 1999 is profitable.

Good luck to us all. Peace

Joe-MA
