Octa4 is also one of the first companies accredited by major Australian Financial Institutions in providing on-line credit card verification and transactions from the Internet through the EFTPOS system. Octa4 also has an active R&D section which has been responsible for the development of a suite of e-commerce portals such as eTrolley, ePos, eRadius, eCards, and Sports Betting Management system.

3G communications Inc., established in 1995, is a Philippine-based long distance telecommunications company which owns and has deployed 26 mobile satellite long distance calling stations and is capable of handling ATM transactions from rural banks; and DynaSem Communications SDN BHD, a Malaysian company that trains personnel in VoIP, ISP, secure data transfer and e-commerce and is part of the BIMP-EAGA E-commerce super-corridor.

Each of the companies acquired will change their name to Bentley Tel.com and conduct business in their respective countries under that name.

The Company said that by the fourth quarter of 1999, Bentley Tel.com will be in a position to provide voice, data and video services, both conventionally and via the Internet, to the BIMP-EAGA countries with a population of over 400 million people.

He added, "we will also transfer the UltraPulse and CyberAir technology agreements, currently held by GTMI, into the subsidiary to better facilitate the commercialization of these technologies. Additionally, we will continue to search for innovative technologies to complement those that make up our new company. We will further evaluate various strategic alternatives regarding the subsidiary in order to ensure the maximization of its shareholder value. It is our intention to make Bentley Tel.com a household name, internationally."
