TurboLinux Opportunity

Backed by a strong venture capital presence (August Capital) and investment
from Intel, TurboLinux, Inc. (http://www.turbolinux.com ), formerly Pacific
HiTech, sits in the center of the Linux OS and Cluster Server Software
market. Founded in 1992 and privately held, TurboLinux is rapidly emerging
as a leading player in the worldwide Linux marketplace. Their products
include a suite of high performance consumer and corporate Linux products
called TurboLinux for Intel architecture workstation and server platforms as
well as global back-end support from IBM and Hewlett-Packard.

TurboLinux's presence in Japan and China is a proven success with over 50%
market share in the Pacific Rim. The TurboLinux Workstation J 4.0, released
in July 1999 in Japan, outsold Microsoft's Windows 98 upgrade in Japan as
reported by Business Computer News, which analyzed sales at more than 200
major computer stores throughout Japan. The figures show TurboLinux J 4.0
with a 24 percent market share to the Windows 98 upgrade's 13 percent for
the week of July 3 to July 9. Since 1998, it has shipped more than 2 million
units of TurboLinux globally and is currently the industry's second largest
Linux distributor worldwide.  With a strong focus on Linux server products
and clustering technology and a proven history of market leadership in the
Asia-Pacific region, TurboLinux is well positioned to capitalize on the
burgeoning opportunities within the global Linux market.

Recently, TurboLinux signed the largest deployment agreement to date within
the Linux community. Partnering with IBM, TurboLinux is now the sole Linux
workstation OS presence integrated into the IBM NetFinity Server Product
Line. Because of Linux's versatility and flexibility, all operating systems
are capable of co-existing with Linux on any platform. TurboLinux and its
flagship workstation product will provide IBM NetFinity end users greater
performance and reliability as well as freedom to choose an operating system
in an enterprise environment.

TurboLinux strengthened its affiliation with IBM by forming an alliance with
the world's largest information technology company. The industry's top
database, IBM DB2 Universal Database, will now be Linux-ready, bundling
TurboLinux's server flagship product. The alliance includes joint
development, marketing, education and training, and support initiatives
designed to help companies deploy Linux. TurboLinux will sell integrated IBM
middleware beginning with IBM's database with TurboLinux installed through
its channels in Asia and North America. Included in this alliance will be
IBM's DB2 Database, On-Demand Server, and WebSphere web application server
products.

TurboLinux currently employs about 20 individuals in its Brisbane, CA
headquarters. With a seasoned management team as well as top engineering,
sales, and marketing talent, its short-term goal focuses on growing its team
to meet current marketplace demands.  Long term goals include increasing
their global market share and presence as well as becoming the dominant
player for Linux OS development and product in Silicon Valley. Additionally,
equity opportunities within TurboLinux are available with a planned IPO
within 12 months
