The blast which appears to have been first sent on Jan. 17, 2003, and which came to the company's attention on Jan. 23, 2003, originated from a Jill James at search 8899@polandia.prv.pl. It contains information that was circulated confidentially to various individuals and entities with which the company is negotiating potential business relationships. The release was made without the company's knowledge or authorization and the company is attempting to find the source of the leak.

-- 5) NATVAN has no agreement currently with U.S. BioTec. NATVAN is in negotiations with AG Services Inc. to form a joint business relationship, however, those negotiations are ongoing and incomplete.

-- 6) NATVAN has acquired Auto Lending Group, however, any revenue projections are purely speculative and based upon Auto Lending Group completing a joint venture agreement with another entity.

-- 8) NATVAN's ALG & CERTUS subsidiaries are expected to generate revenue in 2003 and 2004, however, the significance of the revenue is unknown and highly speculative.

-- 9) Any and all representations concerning Composite Holdings Inc. (COHIA) and its subsidiaries and its revenue are immaterial to any matter concerning NATVAN, in that NATVAN has not entered into any business relationship with Composite.

-- 10) NATVAN did not pay anyone, directly or indirectly, for release of the information contained in the e-mail blast, either in stock or in cash, and the company is aggressively pursuing the perpetrator of this dissemination and will take appropriate legal action if warranted for any damages caused to the company by this release.
