A Letter to Shareholders of IFTP from Daniel Hoyng, CEO discussing the R/M and how it will effect shareholders. Worth the read!
April 29, 2001
Dear Shareholders,
The past week has been filled with exciting accomplishments for our
Directors and Officers of Infotopia. We are confident the announced
transaction with EntrePort and a listing on the American Stock Exchange will
result in a significant increase in shareholder value. Revenue and profits
continue to grow and the Body by Jake, Bun & Thigh Rocker is once again the
top rated infomercial according to Infomercial Monitoring Service's National
Cable Media Index. Our new Provida Life Science infomercial is a runaway
success.
Following are the most commonly asked questions as a result of last week's
announcements.
* * *
How does the merger increase shareholder value?
The increase in shareholder value will come from a variety of sources:
1. The primary value will be that financial institutions and analysts will
now be able to provide independent evaluations of our Company's progress.
The Company's growth can be properly evaluated and our success should make
us an attractive candidate to many institutions.
2. Our shareholders will benefit in that their shares will now be
marginable. This should provide additional liquidity to our shareholders and
help to keep long-term believers in Infotopia from selling stock when they
need liquidity.
3. The ability to track short positions will be of significant value to the
shareholders and Company. We will be able to more closely monitor the
movement of our stock and work quickly to help identify problem areas and
work closely to resolve those areas.
* * *
How many shares will I receive when the liquidating distribution of
EntrePort American Stock Exchange is distributed and who is eligible to
receive those shares?
When the liquidating distribution is made, our shareholders will receive one
share of EntrePort (ENP) for every 47.328 shares of Infotopia common stock
(this distribution assumes 100% conversion of all preferred shares of
Infotopia preferred stock into the common stock of Infotopia). Given Friday'
s closing price of EntrePort - ENP of $0.29 and the fact that they will
complete a reverse split of 30:1, it is anticipated ENP will be trading at
approximately $8.70 per share at the time of liquidating distribution.
Friday's closing price of Infotopia - IFTP was $0.049. Therefore, the value
of those shares is $2.32 at Friday's close. Our shareholders will have a
premium share value of $6.38 per share. In other words, to evaluate at today
's prices, each share of common stock of Infotopia has a current value of
$0.1838. (47.328 x $0.1838 = $8.70). Thus the increased value to our
shareholders is 375%. Only shareholders of record as of the date of the
liquidating distribution will receive shares of ENP. Therefore, all short
positions must be covered in order to receive a liquidating distribution.
* * *
When will the EntrePort transaction be finalized?
Definitive agreements and proxy statements are being prepared at this time.
It is anticipated the process will be completed by approximately June 15,
2001. At this time the symbol of ENP would become IFT.
* * *
What firm will be our specialist for the American Stock Exchange?
Our specialist will be Bear Hunter Specialists, LLC, who will utilize AEGIS
Specialist, LLC. This strategic relationship is a key component to our
Company's future success in capital support. Bear Hunter is jointly owned by
Bear Stearns & Company, Inc. and Hunter Partners, LLC, and is the second
largest specialist firm on the floor of the American Stock Exchange. Bear
Hunter represents the financial resources of one of Wall Street's leading
investment banks, Bear Stearns & Company, Inc., combined with market
knowledge, advanced technology and trading expertise of Hunters Partners,
LLC. AEGIS Specialist, LLC, has had a significant presence in equities
trading on the AMEX floor for the past twenty-five years.
* * *
Will the dilution stop when Infotopia begins trading on the AMEX?
Dilution has been necessary to fund the growth and launch of the successful
products that have now brought us to this point. However, we reach positive
cash flow in June 2001 and are confident that the type of dilution that has
occurred while on the OTCBB is over.
* * *
Do you expect to do a massive write-off again in the 1st quarter that is due
out by May 15th?
There is no write-off and the Company anticipates an early filing this week
of our 10Q. Though the accounting department has altered our financials, the
Company will show, even with all the changes, allowances, etc, in excess of
$2,000,000.00 in profit for the quarter. Based on the fifteen million shares
outstanding in ENP (Post split, with Infotopia), this would equal an
earnings per share for first quarter of $0.133 per share. Given the
continued growth of the Company, earnings per share should show significant
increases each quarter. However, given a multiple of seventeen, which is
common for our industry, and assuming no growth for the balance of the year,
just an additional $0.1333 for each of the next three quarters, the Company
would end the year with an EPS of $0.53 and with our multiple that would
mean a share price of approximately $9.06 per share. Given the growth we are
already experiencing in our second quarter, meeting this expectation should
not be a problem.
* * *
Will our shares be locked up for a period of time once the buyout is
consummated?
Infotopia (IFTP OTCBB) will continue trading until such time as the ENP
shares are part of an effective registration statement. At that time, the
liquidating distribution of the ENP shares will be made to the shareholders
of record. It is anticipated that each shareholder will be required to
convert from a DTC format to a paper certificate in order to receive the
liquidating distribution.
* * *
What made ENP so attractive as opposed to a company with real revenues and
an already operating business that could have complemented Infotopia?
Significant dilution would have occurred for our shareholders if we had
merged with a Company of greater value, we minimized additional dilution,
maintained control of our Company and achieved our objective of reaching a
national market.
* * *
In the past you have promised a lawsuit would be filed in regards to the
blatant bashing on Raging Bull. Since it has been 7 weeks since you stated
it would be filed, is there any intention to file this?
The actual lawsuit has been prepared and is ready, however, our focus at
this time is to complete this transaction and have decided to postpone any
action until this transaction is complete.
* * *
Once on the AMEX, Infotopia obviously would then fully qualify for Nasdaq
listing, will Infotopia file to be listed on Nasdaq?
We are very excited to be moving to the AMEX and anticipate staying on the
AMEX for many years to come.
* * *
Will the Officers' Contracts be changed to minimize future dilution?
All the officers' contracts have been changed eliminating all the provision
as was published in regards to stock. Daniel Hoyng, Ernest Zavoral and Marek
Lozowicki have also removed the percentage options that allowed them to
acquire additional shares when the issued shares were increased. An employee
stock option program that will grant employees options at market will
replace all current stock items in employment contracts. These changes were
made to make the Company attractive to institutional investors.
* * *
Will the Board of Directors be changed?
Two additional outside directors will be added. The Board of Directors will
then be comprised of three outsiders and two insiders (Daniel Hoyng and
Ernest Zavoral). The outside directors will chair the audit and compensation
committees of the Board of Directors.

Sincerely,
Daniel Hoyng

Thoughts
Man, these new EXDS customers are impressive
Adobe Systems, Bank One Corporation, BlockBuster,
Connexion by Boeing, Hallmark.com, Pfizer Japan, Sony, Wells Fargo National Home Equity and Visa USA
Adobe, which uses Acrobat Reader, must be used a zillion times a day across the world. Guess they could store the Acrobat upgrades in the CAPs. Talk about revenue.
Most of these customers are worldwide giants. Blockbuster, Sony, Visa. Talk about traffic. Shopping on-line, renting on-line etc. If MI got these type of clients, and the word got around to the rest of Exodus's clients that these sites used MI and were satisfied, the rest would soon follow suit. IMO. Exodus gives MI an unequaled advantage. The ability to grab huge enterprise clients without having to spend a fortune on marketing. Just give them a beta-test. Wait for the results and voila. Word-of-mouth will get far more clients than a TV ad. The ad campaign is to grab the market's attention. But XLA/MI doesnt have to do that. Let Exodus get your foot in the door and let your product do the talking. Its who you know. Always been that way. Always will. The best actor usually doesnt get the part. Its the actor who's a friend of a friend of the director. Exodus and Global Center and Clearway will all open doors for Mirror Image. Imagine if someone buys Exodus. You can add their customers as well. Add to that the contacts that Alex has in Europe and Asia, and you have a very, very healthy client list. If the product works, they will come. And based on what we've heard form Ellen And Gilder, it works very well.
To me, placing a valuation on MI is fun but pointless. Since the CD market has barely been tapped, the final and true valuation is limitless. Im thinking long-term. Its the perfect time to invade the market. The setup time is quick. The competition is fighting for profitability and cash. We have the European patents (with the US soon to come). Any competing technology that is ready to go doesnt have the scalability, the storewidth and global presence to compete with MI. Any competing technology that isnt ready to go will miss the window of oppurtunity (and the venture capital) that MI has been given. The IPO will just be the icing on the cake. Companies that have slow-running sites lose money. Its a fact. CD is a necessity, not a luxury. AKAM cannot match the speed and security and support of MI CAPs. The only thing holding MI back right now is Parfi and the economy. Parfi will be resolved before the end of the year. The economy has allowed MI to drive around the track with a yellow flag. No one gets closer or further away. This economy was a huge blessing in disguise for XLA. The gap between AKAM and MI grows ever closer, even though the customer gap between them basically remains the same. The number of recurring customers for AKAM is a mere drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. The cost of maintenance and expansion will eventually become a huge anchor for AKAM. With the large debt, acquiring additional companies will be very difficult for AKAM. The huge maintenance cost of their increasing server total will really start to eat into their bottom line. The cost of adding servers will be a constant drain. In the past, AKAM has had to trade equity for server discounts. That just wont cut it. AKAM has to constantly spend $$$ on marketing while XLA allows Exodus and Global Center to foot much of the bill. I could go on and on and on.
Just the beginning.
SLAP FOR MY RETIREMENT
From the 20-F also page 38 this little part
On April 21, 2000, the transactions among us, Mirror Image and Exodus were completed. Pursuant
to those transactions, Xcelera received $25 million in cash and 6,046,636 shares of Exodus
common stock in return for 24,512,320 shares of our Mirror Image holdings. Also, Mirror Image
received $50 million in cash and 1,469,900 shares of Exodus’ common stock (as adjusted for 2:1
split) in return for issuance of 8,213,552 shares of Mirror Image common stock. As of July 14,
2000, the Exodus common stock held by Xcelera and Mirror Image was worth, in the aggregate,
approximately $393.1 million based on the closing price of Exodus common stock as reported by
the Nasdaq National Market. We may sell some or all of our holdings in this Exodus common
stock in the future .
Goodevening all! Exodus released earnings today. I'll be reading up on that tonight. Coochi had an eye opening post on the XLA board! GO XLA!

XLA value from $14 to $19/share
depending on what day you price EXDS stock,
EXDS 15% MIIM worth at least $200 to $300M
100% MIIM worth $1.4 to $2 Billion
XLA owns about 80% or $1.1 to $1.6B
XLA has up to $300M Cash
So XLA currently has a market cap of $1.4 to $1.9Billion, yes billion!
With 100M shares, thats $14 to $19/share.
At current levels we are very steeply discounted!
also, late extended hours: bid $5.40 ask $17.75. Someone else must think so lol
Listen to conference call, Ellen confirms what XLA has said in recent PR's
MIIM has the best technology and is growing fast.
Current market conditions may keep us discounted for awhile but once things swing
positive, XLA will trade at a premium to is appraised value to at least $28 to $38/share!
remember the gilder zone starts at $32/share.
expect a PR from XLA to clarify this real soon!
There's going to be a big pop one of these days!
just sit back and wait!
From RB poster NRES Technical Update.
Sorry folks, no new update tonight in light of events at the closing bell, NITE on 100,000 share spread. There is much speculation that something big may happen tomorrow and as the saying goes, where there's smoke there's usually fire.
As there seem to be a lot of new faces here today, I would like to post an NRES chart similar to the one I posted yesterday. Any of you who are familiar with technical charting, please give your opinions on this double bottom chart of NRES.

(1.) First, get a load of the chart! this is a TECHNICAL DREAM-COME-TRUE!!! RSI is rising, MACD is bullish, low STOCH, OBV rising, it goes on and on. run a chart yourself and check it out! looks like a strong buy!
(2.) PENDING SPIN-OFF! three weeks ago, MMCI announced a possible spin-off of their successful subsidiary, US Apparel. IR claims ceo is set to release further news about it next week along with the latest EARNINGS REPORT (they are PROFITABLE!!!)
(3.) THE TINIEST FLOAT EVER!!! only 1,000,000 shares in the float. only 3,000,000 shares outstanding. any volume means huge swings in price and easy doubles if played right. just check the recent action. jumped from .05 to .20 in a day and swings into the .30's and .40's.
(4.) BOOK VALUE $.88!!! current price $.20!!! unbelievable!!!
(5.) Lastly, but maybe most importantly, MMCI is BUYING BACK SHARES (!!!) of an already tiny float, as announced april 4!!!
ABSOLUTELY spend some time to CHECK THIS OUT!!!!! it is VERY unknown and could jump into the dollar range on the news next week!!! and it looks to be a sure thing to be over $.50 within a couple of weeks!!! GOOD TRADING!!!

Interesting EXDS Post
Ellen Hancock's hidden message
by: rmteju
04/24/01 03:53 pm EDT
Msg: 148451 of 148516
When Ellen 'rebuffed' C&W's offer stating that the offer was based on EXDS's current market valuation, which in her opinion
was too low, i believe she gave a very subtle indication of things to come. Here is my 2cents.
a. The results are going to be very good or at least very positive. In this market, missed numbers are ok, achieved numbers
are great, beating numbers are incredible. I think she will beat the numbers with no clouds hanging around like the last time
(integration with Global crossing, dot com customers). All the bad news is out there. I think UPS Piper Jaffrey was not
allowed in because the management wants to send a message to some of these analysts who tend to merely 'pump and dump'.
2. Clearly, the stock is in 'play'. Ellen never said, "What rubbish. We are independent and we will stay that way. Nobody
buys us out. We buy them out." She didnt say that. She merely 'scoffed' at the offer price. Ellen basically says (read implies),
"OK Guys. wanna buy us out? offer a good price. we are worth a lot more than 20 bucks a pop" She is looking for suitors. It
is obvious. The results are gonna be out. The stock is gonna go up and C&W is going to be back with a much higher number.
Watch out. Even better. A bunch of companies start putting in bids. Nice for stockholders.
3. Too late for a warning. A nice fed move and things starting to look less bleak. It can only get better.
Again. My 2 cents.
RMTEJU
Whatever happens, the large block buy/sell ratio was very good today. Earnings are Thursday.
Sweet: I do invest for the long term. I do trade other stocks, but not my long-term holdings. It doesnt mean I wont sell them in a free-fall. But at these levels, the free-fall is quite different than buying at 200. At these levels, I see no reason to sell my long-term holdings unless there is horrible unforseen news. I have seen some unforseen news about XLA (tax situation) but nothing horrible. In fact, much of the news has been quite the opposite.
Mirror Image Internet, Inc., an innovative provider of Internet content delivery
services and subsidiary of Xcelera Inc. (AMEX: XLA), today announced it has
opened regional offices in Sweden, the Netherlands and France, broadening the
scope of the company’s European operations and market influence. The opening of
these offices follows the establishment of regional sales offices in the UK and
Germany, and other international offices opened in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong
and Sydney.

NRES Technical Update.
Yeah, I know I said I was going to lay off this stuff but hey, I got a little excited today, and here's why.
Today we're going to look at 3 charts (what no bonus chart?)
The first chart is what I got excited about today, you may recall I had some serious concerns coming into Monday's trading because on Friday we experienced a black hanging man candlestick. I decided to do some more research on this and it turns out because the head and stem were so small, there was a possibility that the hanging man could be negated or voided, but the trading day immediately following had to be a positive white candle.
Well folks, I'm happy to say, we got our white candle today, in fact, if you'll notice the body of the white candle today starts at the bottom of the previous black candle and goes all the way above it. Now because these candles are pretty small, this is stretching the term a bit thin, but this can be considered a bullish engulfing pattern. Essentially, the hanging man has been voided, wow! Also notice the fast stochastic is on the move again.

The second chart is a rehash of the flag and pennant chart, which clearly shows our bullish break outside the channel is well in tact. This is what had me so puzzled when I saw the black candle, an upside break from the flag is always bullish, and we can clearly see that here.

The third chart is a look at the Nasdaq today, the reason I'm showing you this is I want to emphasize to you just how powerful the Doji is when observed in the right context. I've also provided a couple of additional markups to emphasize some other bearish signs on the Nasdaq. Some of you may have heard the terms "Island Tops, Gaps, Windows", well we've got all three on the Nasdaq. In western charting terminology, whenever gaps or windows are formed, the index must come back to fill those gaps.
Which brings me to another point, since the Nasdaq is an "index" it's much harder to predict that a single stock, since it is made up of thousands of stocks, however, charting seems to be pretty reliable on indexes as well. Now, keeping the gap thing in mind, looking at the chart and the fast stochastic, where do you think the Nasdaq is going?
http://members.aol.com/computecchie/nres/nasdaq_2.gif
And finally, I'd like to share a few observations I made today on the NRES board. One of the reasons I hang out here is because I learn so much from so many posters here, say for instance the pictures provided by trust26 today, how bout that huh? wow!
But I did pick up on something else that was interesting today, several posters mentioned they had orders in that were either not filled, filled in 5000 share increments at a time, or only partially filled for the day. It is possible this happened because the limit order price they used was too low and the MM's were not going to fill them at that price. On the other hand, what if the orders could have been filled but the MM's had no shares in their inventory to fill them? What if there are not enough sellers to fill the buy orders coming in? We go back to basic supply and demand, when demand outstrips supply, the price goes up.
Did anyone catch how many MM's are on the ask of .007 by the end of the day? Notice the bids are all being raised? Notice how we got a nice uptick just before the closing bell today? Could be pure fantasy, wishful thinking or speculation on my part, but then again, maybe not.
Until the next time, hope you all enojyed this post.
Tuesday should be quite interesting.

NRES Technical Update.
Yeah, I know I said I was going to lay off this stuff but hey, I got a little excited today, and here's why.
Today we're going to look at 3 charts (what no bonus chart?)
The first chart is what I got excited about today, you may recall I had some serious concerns coming into Monday's trading because on Friday we experienced a black hanging man candlestick. I decided to do some more research on this and it turns out because the head and stem were so small, there was a possibility that the hanging man could be negated or voided, but the trading day immediately following had to be a positive white candle.
Well folks, I'm happy to say, we got our white candle today, in fact, if you'll notice the body of the white candle today starts at the bottom of the previous black candle and goes all the way above it. Now because these candles are pretty small, this is stretching the term a bit thin, but this can be considered a bullish engulfing pattern. Essentially, the hanging man has been voided, wow! Also notice the fast stochastic is on the move again.

Did Mirror-Image get into Japan at the right time?
How will Japan take to the Internet?
By Ryan Tate

Yahoo (YHOO) has laid out 2001 projections earlier this month that were significantly below analyst expectations on both an earnings and revenue basis. But the company had been doing well in Japan -- net profit shot up 158 percent as ad revenues soared.
Revenue grew 129 percent despite a long-entrenched recession in Japan. Because the Internet is only now starting to take off in the country, the online ad market, one-tenth the size of the U.S. one, is posied to grow sharply in the near term.
But there's a touch of gray in Yahoo's Japanese silver lining. According to Reuters, "Some clients appeared to be growing cautious about advertising on the Web after seeing falling revenues at Yahoo Japan's U.S. partner." Sales growth is off and earnings at the end of the last quarter were lower than expected.
Get-rich tip: Don't let on how bad things are here in the U.S.

FLAG Telecom (Nasdaq:FTHL) Previous Close: Down 4% to $3.188 on vol. 1,851,600 Shares: ATTRACTIVE
FLAG Telecom (Nasdaq:FTHL), a leading global network services provider and independent global carriers' carrier, and Verizon Communications, announced that they have entered into an agreement whereby FLAG Telecom will collaborate in the development and use of Verizon's recently announced city-to-city European backbone network. This advanced terrestrial fibre-optic network will provide connectivity to the major European business centres, and is expected to begin serving London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Brussels early in the second half of 2001. Expansion to other major European cities is planned during the remainder of 2001.
Under the terms of the agreement, certain European dark fibre and collocation facilities owned by FLAG Telecom will be purchased by Verizon. Verizon Communications will own, operate and manage the city-to-city backbone network, while FLAG Telecom will provide and manage its own IP layer and collocation space for its customers.
Andres Bande, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FLAG Telecom, said: 'Europe is a key market for us, but is also one of the most competitive environments in the world so securing a high quality, low cost network is a key requirement for success. In order to minimize capital expenditure and reduce cash outlay, we have decided to collaborate on our network development in Europe with our largest shareholder, Verizon. This agreement puts FLAG Telecom in a strong competitive position by significantly reducing our future cost base and further enhancing the reach of our global network services products.'
WatchGuard Tech., Inc. (Nasdaq:WGRD) Previous Close: Down 15% to $5.50 on vol. 1,615,300 Shares: HOLD
WatchGuard Tech. Inc. (Nasdaq:WGRD), a leading provider of Internet security solutions, announced that its revenue and pro forma net income are expected to be below the Company's previously stated estimates. The Company expects to report net revenue of $16.7 to $17.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Pro forma net loss for the quarter, excluding acquisition related costs and non-cash stock-based compensation, is expected to be between ($0.10) and ($0.14) per share. These results are preliminary and the Company plans to report its actual first quarter results on April 18, 2001.
'The continued economic slowdown has resulted in a deferral, and in some cases a decrease, in capital spending by businesses around the world. This has led to lower overall revenues, particularly in the U.S.,' said Christopher Slatt, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'Nevertheless, Internet security is still a key issue for executives and IT managers. We are a leader in our market segment and we are in a strong financial position, with over $115 million in cash and no debt. However, given the economic slowdown, we have examined all aspects of our operations and have implemented programs to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. We believe these actions are prudent in light of the current market conditions and will position WatchGuard to deliver increasing shareholder value.'
'Market participants will be eager to see if Thursday's rally will have legs into Friday's trading session, hoping that stocks can follow through on their winning momentum into the weekend. Friday's unemployment report will have everything to do with the possibility of a near-term rally, with many analysts hoping the number does not come in too far from expectations. Stocks will also be contending with an earnings warning unleashed after Thursday's close by Sycamore Networks, which announced it would fall short of Wall Street's estimates.' stated Peter Antipatis.
