     1) When a heel strikes the ground, a body puts 2-3 times his or her body weight on the DAMPS Technology.  2 ) The super magnets in opposition, dissipate conventional motion shock with suspension deflection of up to 5/8".  3 ) Also real time propulsion forward is added as the DAMPS Suspension/Propulsion system returns to its unloaded position and the foot rotates and is propelled forward to the ball and toes, in a normal walking gait.Skeleton Foot

     DAMPS Footwear Technology. The world's first, patented, Opposing Super Magnet Technology for Shock Reduction, for working and walking shoes. The DAMPS Technology reduces *90% of the conventional dynamic kinetic motion shock. Substantial Shock Reduction does a body good. Low back injuries are the number two cause of employee downtime.

     *Prototype ( 7 ) experimentally demonstrates a 100% Shock Reduction." That is i.e. the DAMPS suspension system never comes to a compression solid and remains suspended or floating throughout the entire walking motion/gait.

     In a system overload event, the shoe returns to conventional composite shock dissipation with our own proprietary high resilient, outsole formulation developed with a major tire and rubber company. This trade secret outsole material is the subject of our law suit in Brown v Adidas.

WHAT IS THE DAMPS I PARTNERSHIP?

     We have 25 limited partners and I am the only General partner, Jeffrey W. Brown.

     A qualified investor must first look at the footwear industry. Where is the industry? What is it doing currently and where is it going?

THE FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY

     See May 15, 1998 article in Sporting Good Business Article, "Nike's Problems are more than Nike's."  There is a move to what the industry is calling the "brown shoe." This industry trend, blends perfectly with our working and walking demographics.

     ( From SGB article) "brown shoes look a lot better with khakis than athletic shoes." "What the industry needs is today for someone to step up and reinvent the athletic shoe business as was done in 1987."

Ask the Right Investment Questions:

Do you believe we can make and sell these technology shoes?

Then ask, is there a world market for the patented,

DAMPS Technology Footwear? Can my investment make money?

A Technology priced under $ 100.00-Made In The USA and Fully Recyclable.

     What are your "Projections" and does B&B Technologies have the "management" to meet and/or exceed our profit goals? All management works for the shoe and then the customer. We are offering ISO 9000 Quality Technology and 21st Century Service.

     Does the Technology have world wide licensing value? The industry will have to keep up. The DAMPS Technology works and that's the bottom line.

     Our *Projections are based on the DAMPS I Partnership achieving proprietary DAMPS TM to RAMPS TM manufacturing and sales of 3.3 million units over five years. A Manufacturing RAMP Up, to a total of 3.3 million pairs of shoes, over five years. This is less than 1% share of the $ 13 billion U.S. domestic shoe market. (See Business Plan *) [ Click Here; Requires signed Nondisclosure for passwords ]

Year 1   110,000 units
Year 2   470,000 units
Year 3   681,000 units
Year 4   841,000 units
Year 5   1,302,000 units Total est. 3.4 million pairs.

     Management: We added the former VP of Manufacturing for Red Wing Shoes to our management team Jan. 1, 1998. Management is currently made up of equity partners with designated qualifications and exclusive experience with management and the technology We are motivated and have a strategic plan for the technology implementation.

Chief Financial Officer, Kent A. Truckenbrod

Licensing Value: The Patented DAMPS TM Technology also includes the proprietary and exclusive, trade secret, RAMPS TM manufacturing for dual licensing.

     What does it mean for the investors, if and when the Partnership Venture would achieve it's projections?

     On *Pretax Net Earnings of $ 43,980,00; A 1/4% Limited Partnership Equity in the DAMPS I Partnership would earn $ 107,505 in five years. Currently, 1/4% Equity in the DAMPS I Partnership is valued at $ 62,500. A $ 62,500 investment would yield 22.156 % per year, for five years. Current DAMPS I Partnership Technology and R&D assets are valued by management at over $ 20,000,000. *Updated, and based on a professional, independent valuation in June of 1996 by a NY Investment firm. Patented and Prototyped R&D, with management, has industry market value.

     Management is aware these figures could change and must also recognize the fact that demand may be our biggest problem. Management is prepared to face the continued challenge. The "Real Feel is the Deal." The Shock Reduction Technology markets itself. Our Marketing framework is outlined in the business plan. The footwear industry is highly competitive. We don't give our proprietary marketing strategy away completely at this stage.

ALL LIMITED PARTNER INVESTMENT EQUITY IS EQUALLY SECURED IN THE DAMPS PATENT No. 1 #5,502,901.

What does our expert say? What does our Consulting Podiatrist since 1989 say about the DAMPS Technology?

As with any investment there is Risk. Please consider the risk, our business plan to manage the risk, along with the opportunity to be part of the changing profitability of footwear technology for the 21st Century.

     If there are any questions regarding an equity limited partner investment, in the DAMPS I REG. D Rule 506 California Partnership, I would be happy to answer all qualified investor questions and/or refer authorized questions to our Partnership attorney, Richard P. Miller. All limited partner investments are recorded with our DAMPS I Partnership CPA, Kent A. Truckenbrod.

Together we can change the way the world walks-and that's a good thing. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey W. Brown
CEO/General Partner
