The following factors contribute to SILVER's low valuation: [Bullet] Small public float. Insiders hold 42% and institutions hold 40%. SILVER SHAREHOLDERS PROFILE --------------------------- [Pie Chart] Insiders 42% Public 18% Institutions 40% [Bullet] Average daily volume was only 5,705 shares over the past 20 days. [Bullet] Lack of research coverage. Last research report by C.L. King dated July 26, 1996. No major Wall Street firm covers SILVER. [Bullet] Limited interaction with investment community, therefore limited opportunity to tell SILVER's "story". [Bullet] Low growth industry. No true "pure play" comparable among publicly traded companies. [MERRILL LYNCH LOGO]----------------------------------------------------------- 2-1 12 PROJECT SILVER - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PUBLIC MARKET VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS (cont'd) [Bullet] Significant growth opportunities exist that may not be factored into SILVER's stock price: [Triangle bullet] integration of recent acquisitions: Rauch, Silvestri, C.J.
