(The  following  was  submitted  as email  to all  Exigent  International,  Inc.
employees on May 30, 2000)


To all employees:

I wanted to write to you to clear up some  confusion  that has been generated by
one of our current board members,  Dan Stark. Dan has sent an email to a list of
employees about his not being on the ballot this year. He  subsequently  sent it
to the board of directors. I won't try to speculate on what his motive might be,
I'll leave that up to you. However, I wanted you to have the facts.

The SEC and Nasdaq stock  exchange have  recently  adopted new  guidelines  that
require  audit  committees  of public  company  boards of  directors to have new
charters and all independent  directors in place by mandated  dates.  Therefore,
each  public  company  needs to  maintain  a  sufficient  number of  independent
directors  on its  board  of  directors  to  satisfy  the  new  audit  committee
requirement.  Last year the Exigent board adopted guidelines incorporating these
SEC and Nasdaq requirements.

Earlier this year when the  nominating  committee met, we had 5 candidates for 3
open board seats. The majority of the nomination committee and the board decided
to recommend to the  shareholders  the 3 independent  directors  that you see in
your proxy statement.  As  Dan  stated  in his email  these  directors  are very
competent,  independent professionals.

On behalf of the board,  I encourage  you to exercise  your rights and vote your
proxy in a timely fashion.

Thank You,

Bernie Smedley
