Starview Exhibit at Pack Expo Las Vegas a success.

PackExpo Las Vegas was a success. The statistics released show that there were more exhibitors and more attendees that any of the past PackExpo Las Vegas shows; up approximately 10%. We received a number of solid leads. These have now been forwarded to our Distributors.

We look forward to our next big show, PackExpo International 2006.

Get ready, a price increase is coming.

We are reviewing all models and will have new pricing effective for January 1, 2006. Please check with us before quoting prices from the 2005 price books or CD-ROM Version 1. Starview, like everyone else has seen increases in metals, plastics and transportation. We have held the prices for the past year; however, in order to remain profitable we must now make some adjustments.
