Press Release from HTPi 
<A HREF="www.htpi.com">www.htpi.com</A> 

March 2, 2003.   As you know, yesterday we lost three members of our family 
in a tragic plane crash; our founder and CEO Don Fitzpatrick, our pilot, Greg 
Jackson, and our corporation counsel, Ford Byrd.  Our condolences go out to 
the families of these men.

Don Fitzpatrick was our leader, our Partner and our friend, a good husband 
and father.  The success of High Performance Technologies over the past ten 
years is due in large measure to his clear vision and strategic genius.  He 
kept us focused on those factors most important to our success:  our 
employees, customers, and technological excellence. By example, Don drove 
this firm to be the best that it could be.  We grieve his loss and feel a 
sadness words can’t express, but we will not let this break our spirit.

Don wanted HPTi to be “Built to Last,” and we dedicate ourselves to 
fulfilling that vision – it will be our contribution to his legacy.

Greg Jackson had only been with us for four months, but we came to respect 
and admire him as a fine pilot and a good man.  He was truly an expert in the 
world of private aircraft, and his loss will be immense.  It simply makes 
this tragedy worse that we will not get to know him better.

Ford Byrd, although a consultant, was a part of our family, one of the senior 
leaders of this company.  His contribution to establishing our employee 
ownership model was invaluable in executing the vision for the firm.  His 
personal warmth and charm enhanced our lives in many ways.  It is hard to 
imagine this company without him.

This company will survive.  Over time, the pain will lessen, but our memories 
of these three men will never dim.  Those memories will only increase our 
determination to make HPTi the envy of all in the technology industry.  Don 
would want that!
