Within the next two weeks we will be releasing our May '98 Company. We are wrapping up our due diligence and discussions with the management of a very exciting micro-cap company and, once completed, we will be sending you our detailed Critique showing what we believe to be significant profit potential.

In the meantime, we have a SPECIAL SITUATION that has been brought to our attention. From time to time, our contacts on the street bring us unique opportunities that the average investor like our VIP members might never hear about.

One such opportunity has just recently been brought to our attention. The company is ONTRO, INC. Within the next two weeks they have a new issue coming to market that we are hearing some extraordinary things about. Our qualified staff of professional editors and researchers has many, many years of experience looking at these types of opportunities in the securities market.

This Company has invented a revolutionary new product called an Integrated Thermal Container. They have designed self-heating beverage containers designed to heat liquid contents such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soups, and baby formula. You simply pop the top, wait five minutes, and you drink a hot beverage. Our ears on the street tell us that have entered into certain evaluation agreements with Nestle USA and Knickerbocker.

Consider the potential applications for a self-heating beverage container. We can foresee uses in all types of survival and camping kits, stores of these items in homes where there is a high probability of earthquakes, convenience items for any worker that doesn't have access to a kitchen on the job, and many other uses too numerous to list here.

ONTRO, Inc is a San Diego, California based company. The underwriter is Cohig and Associates in Denver, Colorado. Cohig's phone number is 800-289-5691. We recommend that you call for a prospectus. The proposed Nasdaq symbols are "ONTR" for the common stock and "ONTRW" for the warrants.

Ontro, Inc will be issuing 3.4 million units. Each unit will consist of one share of common stock, and one warrant. The units will be priced between $5.50 and $6.00. After trading begins, the common stock and the warrant will trade as separate securities.

Aside from hearing extraordinary things about their technology, we are hearing that a powerful syndicate of institutional investors has been put together on this underwriting. We understand that it is the same group that was involved with a new issue in September called Newcom (Nasdaq: NWCM & NWCMW).

Newcom was brought public in a unit at $9.50, which contained one share of common stock and one warrant. On September 19, 1997, the common and the warrant traded separately. The combined closing value of the two securities that day was $17.125, which is nearly a double from the IPO price. Approximately three weeks later, on October 13th, the combined value of the two securities closed at $24, which was the all time high of the unit. This is nearly 250% return from the IPO price, and a 40% return if you had bought shortly after the opening of trading.

ONTRO has the same syndicate group behind it. We are looking at a possibility for a repeat price performance equivalent to Newcom.

For your benefit, we will provide brief version of our final four review, the information on which we base every company that we profile.

Management

As mentioned in our Final Four summary, we believe that Management is the single most important factor in the long-term success of any growth company.

Ontro, Inc is stacked with top management. James Scudder and James Bernsten, the co-founders of the company and developers of the technology both have extensive backgrounds in the food delivery industry.

This exciting new technology has attracted some serious heavyweight marketing talent. Kevin Hanley joined the company in December of 1996. He is the Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Hanley was formerly the controller of Hometown Buffet.

Robert Costen joined the Company as a director in October of 1997. Mr. Costen began his career in the food industry with General Foods, where he held various positions for 19 years. In the 1980's Mr. Costen served as the President of Ardmore Farms, a subsidiary of Quaker Oats. He brings 39 years of experience in the food industry to the Company.

Financial Condition

After the underwriting is completed, this Company will be financially strong. The proceeds from the Offering are expected to be approximately $16 million. The Company has no significant debt.

Market Capitalization

Once the underwriting has been completed, the Company will have 6.5 million share issued and outstanding. Based on the initial pricing of $6, this would give the Company a market capitalization of less than $50 million. We believe that the technology offered by this Company could justify a much higher market value. When you think about the potential applications that this product could be used for, it is easy to see this Company selling hundreds of millions of dollars in product over the coming years.

Industry Group

This company crosses the boundary between technology and food products. Additional applications for the technology already being discussed include drug delivery, medical applications, and health and beauty products, all of which are strong groups in the stock market.

In conclusion, you should take a serious look at participating in the Ontro IPO. Their technology is revolutionary. We have been told that the syndicate group of institutional investors is STELLAR and the pricing should be very favorable for early investors.
