many key decision makers from the military

did indeed stand out with the opportunity to add substantial functionality
to
the military's unmanned vehicle programs by adding arms and manipulators

Many changes were
implemented to organize
our company for growth in the years ahead.
-- Our new research, engineering, and design
center was secured, prepared

to move from point
A to point B; it is another thing entirely to perform a sophisticated

Chairman Issues Open Letter to Shareholders
Innova Holdings, Inc. (RWT)
completed a reverse
merger with HyTech Technology Group. This is a key organization because of its
recognition among
industry leaders in the military and its collaborative
initiatives with other member organizations

In February, Innova exhibited at the
Association for Unmanned Vehicle
Systems International (AUVSI) Unmanned Systems Program Review in
Washington, DC. and a leading provider of open architecture,
patent-protected, PC controls, software
, and related products that improve
the performance, applicability, and productivity of robots and
other

-- We identified new, emerging markets for our patented robotic solutions --
military, homeland security, space, eldercare, healthcare and commercial
security (referred
collectively as "Service Robots") -- and we began to
gain a substantial position in that market
by creating awareness of our
robotic capabilities. I was a keynote speaker and
took the
opportunity to challenge the service robot industry to change
their focus to task oriented platforms
. This application
emphasized our capability to provide sensing, vision, GPS guidance, and
motion control to mobile platforms whether they be manned or unmanned. Here, the subsidiary
Robotic Workspace Technologies (RWT), was again recognized for its
significant work with NASA
that could also be used in the unmanned military
vehicles program aimed at adding robotic arms
to unmanned vehicles.
While all of this activity was laying a solid foundation for Innova

funding of $10 million, which
became available to us in late December.

Dear Innova Holdings shareholder:
Many goals were realized
during 2005 and recognition established that today
form a foundation of the future of the company

amazing growth in new applications for ROBOTICS well beyond the industrial
sector in new market opportunities such as military, homeland security,
space, eldercare, healthcare
, commercial security and others.
We will target opportunities with military and homeland security
since the
government and our military have allotted $33 billion for developing an
unmanned fighting
force equal to 30 percent of our armed forces by the year
2010 and much of this, I believe, will
require some form of robotics
applications. This company is staffed by seasoned software and
systems
engineers with the two top managers having served 20 years at
Microsoft. The acquisition will provide
