First I would like to thank so many of you who have supported Cannondale in our first two years in the ATV market. We are working very hard to continue to improve the performance, quality and service of our products. We really listen and pay attention to the many excellent posts on this great website. Real time feedback and research is invaluable.

Today is a historic day at Cannondale.
- First we announced a new bank financing arrangement that will fund our further expansion of our motorsports product range. This was only possible due to so many of you who have purchased our products and we appreciate your support.
- We ended the first month of our fiscal 2003. We shipped the new 2003 Cannibal, Speed, and X440 motorcross unit. Expect the Super Motard and other new models to start shipping in August and September.
- Final testing will finish this week on the new Glamis dunes quad which we expect to begin shipping in September.
- We now have most products available with GREEN sticker (for California) and non-green sticker option. So you can ride your 'Dale anywhere.
- We have learned a ton racing with the Nac's/Cannondale team this year that will continue to be integrated into future production. We have won many races, and expect to coninue our investment in ATV racing forever. Racing teaches us things you can't learn under normal conditions.
- And finally, and though this may not seem significant, we had our first 2004 and 2005 development meetings. With our new financing we can expand and step up our RND projects for the future.

I would also like to thank the many retailers who continue to work with Cannondale. Most of these retailers have or will soon complete our Factory Tech sessions so they can be up to speed on all the standard service issues to keep your machines running fast and smooth.

So you can count on Cannondale to contantly work and continue to invest in you and your sport. We will never be the cheapest. We are dedicated to being the fastest, most technically advanced technology, made in Bedford, PA USA to keep you going as fast as your skills will allow you to go.

To the future,

Joe & Scott Montgomery
CEO/Founder, VP/Director
Cannondale

Thanks guys.

Good suggestion, we will slowly expand our line. We are currently doing final testing of a new riding pant, jersey, and a very innovative glove. All should be available by the end of this year.

Steady as she goes, goodnight,

Scott

Thanks for the update Scott. I'm looking foward to the future. You guys have showed us Cannondale will be around, and we will continue to support you!

I just wish you could do something about Optimum's prices on the GP control. Compared to simular software, it's way over priced. In my area, I do not feel confident in my dealers. I would like to purchase the software to do my own maintence, but the price is holding me back right now.
