SAFE AND SECURE TRANSACTIONS THROUGH CLIXME Websites using the service will give customers the option to have Clixme call them to accept their credit card information during the checkout process.

"The Research and Development team at De Greko thought it prudent to add this application to the suite of services we would offer with Clixme. In addition to Clixme's personal approach to e-trade, it was still necessary to find a safe, offline method for people to complete their transactions. With more and more stories of online fraud and theft the Clixme transaction solution will be a welcome alternative to standard transaction processing methods presently available in the market." ADDITIONAL REVENUES TO BE REALIZED The new service will provide an additional revenue base for the company as well. Through an agent agreement it is seeking with FIRST DATA CP (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :FDC FDC - Floppy Disk Controller ), the company will earn a percentage of all money transacted through the new service. "In addition to creating a safe way to complete transactions, the company will also add to our bottom line with another residual income stream that piggybacks our Clixme service", said Mr. Georgiadis. With Clixme slated to launch in mid-April, this new service will be tested and become live shortly thereafter. The above mentioned development team is presently investigating alternate offline applications for the Clixme service as well.
