Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
The most recent edition of Bull Market MicroCap Review!, an Internet-based
microcap stock journal, contained an article that discussed the business,
finances and prospects of the Company. The article included a statement about
the Company's anticipated 2003 financial performance which was not authorized by
TVI. Specifically, the article included an estimate of TVI's 2003 "profit" and
stated that Company management confirmed the profit number. In fact, no member
of Company management confirmed such number or provided any other advice or
guidance whatsoever regarding the Company's financial performance for 2003.
Consistent with Company financial communication policy, any discussion of
Company financial results will be broadly disseminated at the time such results
are publicly released.
