Mr. Nerison's appointment to the Board fills the position left vacant by the resignation of Christopher Stringer.

A Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding Mr. Nerison's appointment.

Gary Nerison possesses experience in several industries including insurance, real estate development, banking and charitable foundations. In addition to his new position with ActionView International, Mr. Nerison currently serves as a Director of two companies publicly traded in the United States.

Mr. Nerison previously served as Director of two additional publicly traded U.S. companies, providing leadership through a successfully completed reverse merger transaction for one of the companies.

In 2000, Mr. Nerison established a loan brokerage firm, placing venture loans for new businesses. The company obtained and arranged for financing and allocation of funds for developers of projects ranging from $1 million to $30 million. In 1998, Mr. Nerison founded an Internet coupon company, for which he served as chief executive officer for several years. Previous to that, Mr. Nerison served in leadership and executive positions for a number of financial, insurance, real estate, and development businesses. Mr. Nerison serves on the Executive Committee of the Northern California Chapter of the NFL Alumni Association and is a former Board member of Project RESTORE at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

"I am quite pleased that Mr. Nerison has agreed to serve on the Board of ActionView International and provide leadership as the Board's chairman," commented company CEO Steven R. Peacock. "As the company continues to pursue all legal remedies in the bankruptcy case of Jim Palmer Trucking, Inc., as well as seeks to identify an appropriate acquisition candidate for the company, I believe that Mr. Nerison's background in public company Board positions and his vast experience in making sound business decisions will be a tremendous asset to ActionView International."

Jim Palmer Trucking, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy several weeks after ActionView International provided a $250,000 loan to the company. ActionView is currently seeking repayment of the loan through the bankruptcy proceeding.
