C-Chip Reports its Year End Results: Key Milestones Achieved.


MONTREAL -- C-Chip Technologies Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
:CCHI CCHI California Center for Health Improvement ) (FRANKFURT:CCHI) is pleased to report its results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. After extensive product development and significant capital invested in R&D, and an acquisition of a security services Security services are state institutions for the provision of intelligence, primarily of a strategic nature, but also including protective security intelligence. Examples include the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in the United Kingdom, and the  business in February, we reported our first commercial sales totaling slightly over $1 million for the year. For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2004, net loss per share was $0.14 compared to $0.02 in 2003. As of June 30, 2004, our working capital stood at over $1.5 million, which compared to a working capital deficit of almost $820,000 in the prior year.

2004 was a milestone year for C-Chip. We have emerged from a company strictly focused toward product development to a corporate organization devoted to the marketing and selling of state-of-the-art products and services in the telematics Originally coined to mean the convergence of telecommunications and information processing, the term later evolved to refer to automation in automobiles. GPS navigation, integrated hands-free cellphones, wireless communications and automatic driving assistance systems all come under the  and security sectors. While our actual results are not yet impressive, we have worked extensively over the last year on planting the seeds of our future success. Key distribution agreements have been concluded and with our full support, we expect that the distribution network that we have put in place in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere.  will bring significant growth for our company.

Since our acquisition of the C-Chip technology in 2003, our company has been involved in M2M M2M Machine-to-Machine (communication, mainly mobile)

 (machine to machine) communications. Our technology is based on a platform that can be adapted to a wide number of products, including office equipment, industrial equipment and consumer electronics products. We are now beginning to market a comprehensive offering to the automotive sector with solutions encompassing the credit, asset and security management industry. With the progress that we have made in the last year on the development of products related to the consumer electronic market and industrial equipment, we expect to generate revenues from an expanding product base.

Within the credit management sector, we have now finished the development and completed extensive testing of the Credit Manager, a benefit-denial receiver that can be incorporated into any vehicle. We began delivery of the Credit Manager last October and have so far delivered approximately 2,600 units. We are now putting significant efforts to increase our distribution network in the US and in Canada and, thus far, the reaction from the marketplace indicates a strong interest for the Credit Manager and our other credit management solutions. Our intent is to rapidly build a strong and effective distribution network in the US and in Canada. Once in place, our goal is to rapidly capture about 10% of the addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be  BHPH BHPH Buy Here, Pay Here (car dealerships offering in-house financing)  (Buy Here - Pay Here) market in the US.

 significantly, we believe this goal is attainable.

Our credit management applications for consumer electronic related products, our MPP (Massively Parallel Processing or Massively Parallel Processor) A multiprocessing architecture that uses up to thousands of processors. Some might contend that a computer system with 64 or more CPUs is a massively parallel processor.  and MP2, are currently being tested and we expect their commercial introduction to the Rent-to-Own marketplace later in fiscal 2005. Within this market segment, we will be targeting approximately 30 retail companies and actual sales results are expected to follow. The MPP offers credit grantors, using the Internet, the Internet, the, international computer network linking together thousands of individual networks at military and government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, industrial and financial corporations of all sizes, and commercial enterprises  ability to remotely access, monitor and control the use of consumer electronic products that they have leased or financed to consumers.

We have also completed extensive field tests for the SHADOW, a device offering wireless vehicle control, monitoring and tracking features. In all, we have tested over 500 units of the SHADOW. Different potential customers, including resellers, distributors, car dealers, wireless carriers and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  equipment manufacturers, have conducted field tests of the device. Market response has been very positive. In fact, last July, we announced that our SHADOW had obtained its certification from Metrocall Wireless Inc, a leading provider of paging products and other wireless services to businesses, governments and healthcare communities in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.

For us, the certification of our SHADOW to operate on Metrocall's ReFlex wireless network represents a strong technical endorsement, but also confirmation in our ability to develop cost effective solutions for credit and security management and the monitoring of urban fleets.

The commercial launch of the SHADOW has commenced and our goal is to offer our tracking solution at a very competitive price point to enable a potentially large distribution within the business segment that we are targeting. We believe the Shadow will appeal not only to the credit management industry, but also to the security and asset management sector.

In Canada, we recently announced that our company had concluded a sales and distribution agreement with Paging Network of Canada Inc. (PageNet) for the marketing and selling of our SHADOW. PageNet is Canada's largest paging-only and wireless messaging company with approximately 250,000 customers. Although the agreement was only concluded in September 2004 and, so far PageNet has conducted only limited marketing activity, initial response by the market is very positive.

Of greater significance for our core activity, in May we announced that we had entered into a sales and distribution agreement with Northland north·land also North·land

 Auto Enterprises whose distribution network includes about 200,000 new and used car dealers across the United States. The agreement involves the nationwide distribution of our complete line of products offering credit and security management solutions for the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. . Under the agreement, Northland will market our products under their private label and has committed to a minimum purchase worth approximately $10 million over a 6-month period. Planning for the introduction of this initiative has just been completed. At this time, while we do not anticipate that Northland's minimum purchase commitment to our company will materialize in the forecasted period, we nevertheless remain confident that Northland will generate significant revenues for our company and we have recently launched a major marketing campaign to support their efforts to bring our products to mass automotive retailers and car dealers. We expect that these added efforts will bring results shortly to our company.

In July, we also announced our intent to form an alliance with Nexus3 for the distribution of our security products to the Power Sports vehicle (PS) market (motorcycles, ATVs, PWCs and snowmobiles). So far, Nexus3 has been actively putting in place a business plan to aggressively sell our products to the PS market under their own private label. Nexus3 presently has a list of 1200 pre-qualified dealers in Canada and 4000 in the US. At this time, our company is satisfied with the progress of Nexus3 and actual results are expected soon.

In February, to ensure that we would be able to provide turnkey security packages to consumers and businesses, we purchased Canadian Security Agency (2004) Inc., a private Montreal-based business established in 1984 that provides security services to large corporate accounts, including courier and trucking companies. With this acquisition our intent is to offer a complete infrastructure to monitor our tracking devices from a central point, alerting car owners, police authorities and insurance companies when car thefts occur. The addition of Canadian Security Agency has given us instant mass in the security field that we are very actively targeting, as well as increasing our credibility in the provision of security and asset management applications.

To enable our distributors to sell our products and services more effectively as a security management application, we have marketed to a number of large insurance companies different wireless solutions aimed at preventing the theft of cars and power sport vehicles. Specifically, we have made representations to have the HAWK, the FALCON and the SHADOW as products recognized by the insurance industry as solutions preventing theft of vehicles, or contributing to their rapid recovery if ever stolen. While further work is to be done on that front, significant milestones were achieved lately. For instance, Allstate is now offering a discount of up to 25% on the insurance premium charged to any policyholder Policyholder

 who has installed our ultimate security solutions on their vehicle. In the power sport vehicle market, Jevco is another insurance company offering discounts to policyholders who install one of our solutions. We believe this initial recognition by these insurance companies will enhance the attractiveness of our product offerings in the marketplace, and we will continue to pursue other such recognitions within the insurance industry.

In our quest to provide all the support necessary to allow our distribution network to achieve success, in March we launched an e-store, www.cchipstore.com, a virtual gateway for our agents, resellers and distributors offering credit, security and asset management solutions. Our e-store is now accessible 24/7 for all to visit. Agents, resellers and distributors have access to a restricted area for online volume buying and the public area allows consumers to order our products and services directly. Our e-store is a fully secure transactional website developed to give our resellers and distributors added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added.

 market, in February we announced a strategic alliance and licensing agreement with 7Bridge Capital Partners Limited, a sister company, for the marketing of our family of products and services in Asia with an immediate emphasis on opening the China market. This venture is progressing as expected. Over the last few months, 7Bridge has been focusing on establishing in-roads to market and distribute the HAWK and the FALCON in China and positive results are expected down the road.

Of more significance for our potential in-roads into the Asian markets, China's Ministry of Communications has recently issued documents regarding the installation of GPS tracking See vehicle tracking.  unit and vehicle recording telemetry telemetry

 functions. The Ministry has required the Provinces to report by March 1, 2005 and Shandong province will be the first to start implementing the project. After the installation program has been implemented, vehicles without GPS tracking unit will not be allowed to operate. Although there are still many rivers to be crossed, our company and 7Bridge view the above as a major opportunity and our intent is to fully participate in the process.

In Europe, we are seriously investigating, along with financial partners, the opportunity to establish a subsidiary with the mission to distribute our current and future products in the European markets. With the economic unification (programming) unification - The generalisation of pattern matching that is the logic programming equivalent of instantiation in logic.

We expect to be able to announce concrete developments to that effect soon.
