Dongfeng/HLNT HOSS JV, FACTS & CURRENT DD:

1. Will the Hoss be offered at a discount to shareholders again?

Yes, pending EPA approval.


2. Has a timeframe been established for the Hoss to become available to retail sales?

EPA testing by the lab the UTV is at currently will take 30-90
days. The lab will certify it and submit it to the EPA for
verification of results. The EPA can then either approve it or
request a second test for confirmation. Based on the information
given to HTI, it could take up to nine months for full certification.

2. Will EPA approval of the Hoss validate the Wildcat

The HOSS and the hydrogen supplemental fuel systems are mutually exclusive EPA issues: the HOSS requiring EPA/CARB certification,
and the Wildcat requiring CARB Certification and EPA Verification. The EPA Verification and CARB Certification for the Wildcat are
priorities for HTI for the purposes of the strategic partnership we have described above. The certification and Verification are
vital to the full implementation of our Partners marketing plan.

4. What are the best current estimates, all things considered, when we might see a HOSS ready to ship to its first customer?

We received notification from the testing lab that the engine has met the EPA requirements for certification on emissions. Under the
2012 regulations that are now in effect, there is additional testing that must be completed before it can be presented to the
EPA for final approval. The testing includes an endurance performance to ensure that the emissions remain consistently within
range after running the unit on a dyno for 10,000 kilometers (approximately 6,000 miles) at around 15 to 20 miles per hour.

This additional testing is expected to take another 60 to 90 days if there are no more unforeseen issues. After the additional
testing, final EPA approval may take up to another 60 to 90 days if there are no more unforeseen issues.

Upon completion of the certification testing, the unit will then be brought to Arkansas for final review and approval, and if there are
no more modifications required, Dong Feng will then be authorized to begin production. This can put the first units to be received
and then resold into the 4th Quarter of this year.

Highline Technical Innovations Announces Final Approval on the HOSS UTV:
Highline Technical Innovations, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HLNT) announced today that
final approval has been given on the HOSS UTV. A representative for HTI has
been at the Dong Feng Motors development facility in China for the past three
weeks testing the performance of the first generation of the HOSS UTV.
Special attention was placed on the unit's electronic fuel injection system
and shift on-the-fly four-wheel drive. Small details were fine tuned to
assure top quality components and appearance. The rugged chassis design
allows the HOSS to enter extreme use conditions ranging from ranching to fire,
search and rescue. HTI reports that all of these features compare to any of
the major competition models currently available. Final approval has been
given to begin production on the model. One of the initial requirements of
the joint venture that Dong Feng Motors and HTI entered into was a mutual agreement
on the final prototype. Specific details were added to the HOSS at the request
of Dong Feng enhancing features essential for the Asian markets. HTI stated
that the first production unit is being shipped to HTI headquarters in Farmington,
Arkansas for assembly where video documentation of its performance will complete
final touches of the marketing plan that has been established for the HOSS. CEO
Charlton Coats stated, "We believe our final version of the HOSS was well worth
the wait. We are very excited about our approach to marketing and can't wait
to make our HOSS available to the UTV community."
