Here's some info for new investors who may be starting to look at NAVR as a backdoor. NETRADIO The NetRadio Network is one of the leading Internet providers of original audio broadcasting in the world, offering customers more than 120 on-demand music and entertainment channels. Currently, Internet revenue is divided into two major sectors – advertising and electronic commerce. NetRadio was the first Web site to implement "content-enabled" commerce (or C-Commerce) and plans to introduce additional C-commerce sites in the future. NetRadio offers 2 significant features: 24 hour-a-day broadcasting and “C-commerce”, providing Navarre with a significant edge in the distribution of music CD's with CDPoint* ( www.cdpoint.com) (250,000+ music titles). NetRadio's diverse audio content has attracted other business partners, including Packard Bell NEC, which features 35 of its channels on its new Windows 98 desktop audio "radio" player. 1.Eric Paulson, President of Navarre Corporation, foresaw fifteen years ago the convergence of software, music and video technology. This was the primary focus of the original Navarre business plan. Today, with music CD's, CD/ROM's and DVD video, this has become a reality. Navarre is the only company to participate – and lead – in the distribution of all three technologies. The addition of NetRadio gives Navarre an even greater distribution advantage – the Internet. 2.The Computer Products group enhanced service capability enables shipment of all new release titles direct within 48 hours of the street date release. This practice gives Navarre a competitive advantage over many of its peers. Computer Products can provide contracts to signed software designers within 72 hours of agreement. Computer Products competitors generally take 2 to 3 weeks before contract. 3.Navarre's Computer Products group is the leading distributor of Computer software and CD/ROM's. Customers of Navarre include Costco Wholesale, CompUSA, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, barnesandnoble.com, Circuit City, Sam's Club, Virgin, Chumbo, Tower Record, Fry's Electronics. 4.Independent Music Distribution is the only independent music distributor to represent major artists and their labels exclusively – nationwide. These include Kenny Rogers' Dreamcatcher Entertainment, Charlie Daniels' Blue Hat, Vonda Shepard's Vesper Alley and Mannheim Steamroller on American Gramaphone. 5.Alternative Retail Markets (ARM) distributes all labels. This includes releases from the major label artists such as Garth Brooks, Hanson, Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys. ARM provides these alternative retail channels with marketing, advertising support, and accounting inventory systems. These value added services are unavailable from the major distributors. Additionally, ARM serves as the fulfillment center for NetRadio's CDPoint consumers - picking, packing and providing "just-in-time" delivery direct to consumer anywhere in the U.S.A. 6.NetRadio is the first Web site to implement "content-enabled" commerce (C-Commerce) with CDPoint allowing millions of listeners to easily purchase products online while listening to any of its 150+ audio channels. NetRadio's traffic has increased to nearly 3 million visitors and 20 million page-views per month. www.netradio.net This info. was taken off their home page. navarre.com Glenn
