LFZA Retains Investment Banker NC Capital Markets
        LFZA Enters Agreement for Investment Banking and M&A Services


    ESCONDIDO, Calif., April 6 Laforza Automobiles, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: LFZA) announces it has retained NC Capital Markets, Inc.,
a division of the National Capital Companies, to advise on structuring
financing for its growth strategy and to identify merger and acquisition
candidates.
    "National is one of the premier investment bankers in the United States
catering specifically to small capitalization public companies," says LFZA CEO
David Hops, "with over 100 corporate clients they have the experience and
resources to quickly facilitate a financing and to bring a substantial number
of M&A candidates to the table. We are pleased to be associated with this
premier firm."
    NC Capital Markets is part of the National Capital Companies which provide
LFZA with services ranging from the preparation of research reports and the
distribution of such reports to the broker/dealer and investment banking
community to provide guidance and assistance in maximizing shareholder value.
Continues Hops, "As important as their investment banking experience is to us,
National offers a full compliment of services. Their group of companies will
also provide for market making, merchant banking and lending as required, and
access to the institutional and brokerage community.
    "The firm exposes a company to a wide array of institutional clients
before they gain the attention of the wider investment community. National has
found that small capitalization 'undiscovered jewels' typically provides for
far greater returns than other securities. Their experience in managing
markets combined with the buying power of their large network of brokerage
clients will help to keep us from experiencing the pitfalls sometimes
encountered on the small cap markets." Points out Hops, "Can you place a value
on an orderly market and its benefit to shareholders?" National Capital, LLC
is an active market maker in over 200 publicly traded stocks.
    The National Capital Companies, Inc. were founded in 1992 to provide full
service investment banking, brokerage, trading, and financing services
primarily focusing on new and rapidly growing small capitalization companies.
    "National designs client relationships to position itself as a strategic
partner by individually tailoring programs which maximize a client's growth
potential by maximizing client exposure to all of National's assets. Their
approach of working closely with management to meet management's strategic
objectives for creating shareholder value assures us that we have selected the
optimum investment banking firm for our needs at this time," adds Hops.
