Bluestem Capital Partners III Limited Partnership; Notice Seeking 
Exemption Under Section 312 of the Small Business Investment Act, 
Conflicts of Interest

    Notice is hereby given that Bluestem Capital Partners III Limited 
Partnership ( ``Bluestem III'' ), 122 S Phillips Ave., Suite 300, Sioux 
Falls, South Dakota, 57104, an applicant for a Federal License under 
the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (``the Act''), in 
connection with the financing of a small concern, has sought an 
exemption under section 312 of the Act and Section 107.730, Financings 
which Constitute Conflicts of Interest of the Small Business 
Administration (``SBA'') rules and regulations (13 CFR 107.730 (2000)). 
Bluestem III proposes to provide equity financing to Hat World 
Corporation, 8142 Woodland Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46078. The financing 
is contemplated for the purpose of providing capital to Hat World 
Corporation to fund the acquisition of various assets from the Lids' 
bankruptcy trustee.
    The financing is brought within the purview of Sec. 107.730(a)(1) 
of the SBA Regulations because Bluestem Capital Partners I, LLC and 
Bluestem Capital Partners II Limited Partnership, both Associates of 
Bluestem III, each currently own greater than 10 percent of Hat World 
Corporation, and therefore, Hat World Corporation is considered an 
Associate of Bluestem III as defined in Sec. 107.50 of the SBA 
Regulations.
    Notice is hereby given that any interested person may submit 
written comments on the transaction to the Associate Administrator for 
Investment, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20416.

    Dated: June 12, 2001.
