Xtreme is optimistic that its efforts will shortly yield significant business as the applications are approved and funded. When we first Alerted the readership to Xtreme in February, we felt that a purchase between 55-70 cents was appropriate. As the shares have come down with the rest of the market to the 40-cent range, we would amend that entry point to reflect the pullback. Accumulation of Xtreme shares by risk-oriented investors appears warranted, both on previous and future sales as well as the renewed focus on fire/rescue boats attaining Priority One equipment status for First Responders. The salient points for investors bear repeating: Xtreme trades at around 40 cents with 9.1 million shares outstanding for a market cap of $3.6 million Targeting under-serviced professional and military markets for 12-15 foot, state of the art, patrol and firefighting watercraft Corporate plans to conclude sales, initially, of a minimum of 1 boat a month for projected first year sales of $1 million-plus Highly focused sales effort to Police/Fire/Military and other Homeland Security-related groups High profile recent sale of 2 craft to NY and New Jersey Port Authorities providing both proof of concept and product validation as well as increased visibility. Past purchasers include US Marine Corp, Pales Verdes Police and Cooperstown NY Fire Dept. Growing number of incoming inquiries and interest from potential clients; local, national and international. Lack of any meaningful direct competition: other boats available tend to be too large, too expensive or inappropriate for specialized fire/rescue/patrol duties. Xtremely attractive Business appears to be on track for Xtreme. After a period of laying the groundwork by acting as advisor to--so far--40 fire/rescue departments, it's ships--or more appropriately boats--appear to be coming in. Given the proximity of high value and high risk targets to lakes and oceans, it is becoming apparent that quick deploy patrol and fire craft are a necessary adjunct to both Homeland Security as well as addressing the timely demands of natural disasters. Moving specialized personnel around a disaster site is critical for First Responders. Xtreme's shallow hulls (only 10 inches of water needed) and maneuverability means lives saved and property protected. As well as patrol and fire/rescue duties, the relatively small size and construction of these craft means that they could well be deployed into flood situations anywhere in the country. The boats are even equipped with helicopter lift points should it be necessary to quickly airlift them to a disaster site. The reasonable cost and the ability to customize craft for virtually any duty make Xtreme's boats highly desirable additions to virtually any rescue and/or security effort; be it national or local. It is said that a rising tide lifts all boats. The tide appears to be rising quickly for Xtreme as well as those risk-oriented shareholders who see the both the value and future growth of the company in a world where we require the best equipment to enhance both the safety and response time of the brave folks who protect us.    PRESS RELEASE Xtreme Companies Announces New Fire-Rescue Jet Boat Sale; Updates Homeland Security Priority One Status & FEMA Program Stanton, CA -- June 21/ PR Newswire / Xtreme Companies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: XTME - News) announced today that it has sold a model FRJ-1250 Fire-Rescue Jet Boat to Jackson County Fire and Rescue Department in Marianna, Florida.  The scheduled delivery date is August 2004.  Jackson County's Chief Robby Brown stated, "Xtreme's Fire-Rescue boat is of great quality and design that offers EMS and fire-fighting capabilities in a small package which can maneuver anywhere on the water."  Xtreme CEO Kevin Ryan stated, "The fact that the FRJ-1250 continues to prove its capabilities, was the primary basis for this opportunity with Jackson County Fire and Rescue Department. It is extremely encouraging that we are now beginning to gain traction from our recent extensive marketing efforts."  He added, "Additionally, under the The Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFGP), administered by the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Domestic Preparedness, we assisted over 40 fire and rescue departments nationwide in submitting their applications for funding of fire & rescue boats. We remain optimistic about our chances for success because this year fireboats have been elevated to Priority One Status as compared with last year when fire boats were classified under Priority Four Status. We expect shortly to begin hearing on the results of these applications." The AFPG assists rural, urban and suburban fire departments throughout the United States. Through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2004, Congress provided $750 million for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program and transferred administration of the program from FEMA to ODP.  The FRJ-1250 is ideal for shallow water rescues, pier fires, shore fires, or structure fires near the water.  It is remarkably maneuverable, turning quickly in its own footprint, and it operates at higher speeds than other currently available fireboats. Its maneuverability and performance generates highly desirable rapid response time, and it can also be used to fill the water tanks of traditional fire trucks near a shoreline. The boat can hold up to five firefighters at a time.  The boat is small enough that it can be moved easily on a trailer behind an SUV.  One firefighter can easily deploy, operate, and recover the boat.  It can also be equipped with a specialized foam dispensing system for chemical fires.   About Xtreme Companies, Inc.
