SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN UPDATED RESPONSE ON MALAYSIAN FIRM'S 
APPEAL ON PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK FOR APPLICATION

¶1.  In addition to Ref A, Post includes additional details on 
Econoff's 28 July 2008 visit to Orogenic Resources for a Blue 
Lantern end-use check.  Regarding how Orogenic plans to lease 
out the equipment to various oil platforms but always retain 
ownership, the Orogenic managers during the meetings 
specifically said that their employees transport the 
gyroscopes to/from the customers' platforms when the 
customers request use of the gyroscopes.  The Orogenic 
employees are all of Malaysian nationality, whereas the 
employees on the various customers' oil/gas platforms are of 
varying nationalities.  For example, many of the senior 
ExxonMobil employees will be of U.S. citizenship, whereas 
more average employees may be of Malaysian nationality.  In 
any event, Orogenic said that their employees are in the 
presence of the gyroscopes when the equipment is used on 
their customers' platforms.  When not in use, the gyroscopes 
would be stored at the main Orogenic Resources facility in 
Shah Alam, which is a secure, modern multi-story building. 
 
¶2.  The secure storage facility is located on the third floor 
of this building.  There was a single door/entrance to the 
secure facility.  It has a key lock, plus an electronic punch 
code entry lock that requires the manual entry of a 
predetermined access code.  The company representative said 
that the storage room is only accessed by company managers or 
the three employees within Orogenic Resource's Gyroscope 
Department.  Within the storage room itself, which is 
well-lit and has air conditioning, there are many metal 
shelves (nearly floor to ceiling high) containing sensitive 
(by industry standards) charts and tapes of research data 
related to finding new petro oilfields in/around Malaysia. 
The shelves are very well-organized and clean.  The Orogenic 
managers showed Econoff one shelf in the midst of the room 
that was bare, and would be the location of the gyroscopes if 
the sale is approved.  There was ample space for the 
gyroscopes. 
 
¶3.  A sentence within paragraph three of Reftel C should have 
read, "...with petrochemical customers such as the companies 
listed above, all of which have a presence in Malaysia." 
 
¶4.  Reftel C cited an email on 7 August 2008, which should 
have read "Email received on 8 July."
