My wife and I bought a few thousand shares in NVEI to secure our future.
She will graduate college in June of 2002. Is it possible that the
verification, NASDAQ listing and some marketing will be completed by then?

Thank you,
AL


Al,

As you may know, we are very reluctant to put time lines on the process of
commercialization of our technology. However, with the expanded period of
18 months you have suggested, it is safe to project that all of the issues
you addressed will be accomplished. By investing in NVEI as a long term
investment, you and your wife have demonstrated a vision for both our
proprietary solution to communications and also to where the market in
general is moving. As we enable the telcos to provide low cost complex
content over their existing infrastructure, the ease with which we
communicate will be greatly improved. We remain confident in our strategy
and in the contribution we will be making. Thank you for joining us in this
endeavor.

Corine. If you have followed the history of the frustrations with timelines by not only the shareholders but the management of NV I believe with a little more thought you'd realize why that statement was made. I believe in the not to dustant future you will see that changed.
