Peripheral Connections Announces the Arrival of the Thief-Proof Car.

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 1998--Peripheral Connections Inc. (OTC BB: PEPC)

The thief-proof car has arrived: THE thief-proof car, van, or truck is here for the asking.

It is protected by the world's most complete security system.

A vehicle is "wrapped" in an invisible net of radio, electrical, electronic, mechanical, ultrasonic, telematics, and ever-watching satellite protection that spans continents. A lone woman motorist or truck driver attacked on an isolated road or parking lot is protected within 15 seconds - automatically.

Hailed as the world's most advanced vehicle security it is already "thief-proofing" over 200 vulnerable trucks, high risk vans, and top people's cars. While some have been attacked, in more than a year not one has been snatched or its occupants harmed.

UK invented Skynet 2000 has cut its teeth to move into stage-two with a wider service. Under new ownership the company is now part of US-quoted Peripheral Connections Inc., headed by business visionary Tomas Wilmot, who owns a gold mine in Canada.

City maverick "Tom" Wilmot, 51, a Lloyds name who has taken many companies public including London's Hard Rock Cafe, has bought Skynet 2000 from receivership. He has introduced updated telematics, added more protection, is replacing existing vehicle security systems free of charge if/as necessary, has "cleaned up an administrative mess" and is now in action.

His enhanced 21st century version, named Skynet 2001, can instantly convey a driver's medical essentials, like blood group, allergies, and current medications, to doctors at a crash scene. It alerts police and the nearest hospital the moment an accident or incident occurs because it knows the instant help is required, of what sort, and where.

Operating by satellite and mobile phone throughout Europe, the Middle East, America and beyond, it "sees" a thief , hi-jack, or crash in action. For small fleets it offers a DIY laptop vehicle position monitor. This remotely shows vehicle movements without reference to Skynet's nerve centre control.

Skynet Control will talk to a thief in the act, through the vehicle's phone, saying he is being "watched" and reported, or it will tell a trapped driver and passengers help is on the way.

Simultaneously it immobilises all vehicle systems and fuel supply. It reacts to any suspected pre-theft tampering, has an instant response panic button, provides talk-you-there route guidance, and will "steer" a driver round traffic jams.

Costing (pound)999 fitted and tailored to requirement Skynet 2001 protects doors, bonnet, boot, glass, interior, cab and its tilt mechanism, engine electronics, ignition, fuel system, brakes, tow linkage, trailer, and load. An annual (pound)120 ((pound)14 a month by direct debit) monitoring fee covers 24hr surveillance costs.

Even by snatching a vehicle's keys thieves cannot get far because remote immobilisation activates as police are guided to the spot. The system sends out its own 999 alert to a 24hr multi-lingual nerve centre.

Skynet 2001 uniquely creates "a thief's nigh(TM)are" by combining key features of bank, home, and vehicle security - each insurance approved - into one package to which is added Medic-Care DataPlus(TM) , route guidance and a message service. All are operated and activated by hi-tech monitoring using GPS satellite and GSM cellular systems. Hence the monitoring fee.

Tom Wilmot, Skynet 2001 chief executive, says: "Here is the most comprehensive and complete vehicle security for cars and commercials. All equipment fitted by our specialists is guaranteed for three years.

"Peripheral Connections is built on honesty and integrity. The customer comes first and is promised perfection. Skynet 2001 is world class with exciting prospects." -0-

Notes for Editors:

Early this year Skynet 2000 collapsed into receivership with over-spending of nearly (pound)7.5-million. Any Skynet 2000 buyer who failed to receive full satisfaction from the previous Skynet company is asked to contact Gayleen Burkhardt on 0171 667 2113 or 0171 490 7900.

Like the razor "king" Tom liked the product so much he bought the business. The Skynet bureau and assets of Skynet Services Ltd were purchased from receivers by Keymore Ltd. The all-new company is Skynet 2001 Ltd that promises honesty and integrity.

Netking Ltd, a Wilmot company, bought from Keymore the Skynet 2000 system and its intellectual property rights. Now Netking has been taken over by Peripheral Connections Inc (PEPC), a public company quoted on NASDAQ OTC:BB, that develops the market for telmatics and computer technology for protection, security, and medic-care.

Tom Wilmot adds: "The various moves were necessary technicalities. Skynet 2001 is now with kindred technology and has the backing for substantial growth. Its vehicle security has been refined, perfected, and improved so that it is now in a position for substantial growth in the UK and abroad.

"It also can ensure security of mobile plant and machinery, goods in transit, and has other applications including the movement of prisoners."

-- SEVEN INSURERS offer premium discounts of up to 25% on vehicles protected by Skynet 2001.

-- FILLING STATION franchisee Jenny Searle, of Faringdon, Oxford, who eight months ago gave her car Skynet protection, says: "No thief can touch or even push my car without being "spotted". It is total peace of mind whether I am in it or not - it is fantastic." (0976 471309).
