T & G2 (OTC BB: TTGG)

Editors Note: 

At Stockupticks, we regard innovation as a key ingredient to success. When that innovation meets prevailing need we really take notice. 

Public interest for increased security has surged since September 11, and an often talked about solution for securing critical work areas and high rise office buildings is a system that positively identifies employees and workers, exactly what our featured company’s T & G2 SecureTime® product is designed to do. The system even works in tandem with doorlocks and surveillance cameras to prevent any unauthorized access by someone under duress. 

Jeff Helleberg, an independent analyst with Market Advisors Research, said in his April 2002 report (Click Here),  "With a seamless interface to payroll services, it (SecureTime) provides the client with one of the most cohesive time and attendance management systems available anywhere. If this company had nothing going for it but providing this service, it would be an exciting opportunity. But this is just the beginning of the T&G2 story."  Helleberg's report also places a short-term, $3.00 target price* on the stock, based on his research. To read Helleberg's June update, Click Here.

Biometrics, the essence of T & G2 SecureTime®, identifies people based on computerized recognition of unique physical features. Each day, it is growing increasingly more apparent that it is indeed the way of the future and in this treacherous global climate, companies have been quick to adopt the newest, most effective security technologies on the market.

Fingerprints have been used for years at government agencies and now commercial institutions can protect their employees with unmistakable identity checks. Because of the events of September 11, identity concerns have heightened dramatically and The SecureTime® System couldn't be easier to adopt. Companies don't need an IT staff or a system administrator to employ the SecureTime system. No hardware updates, no site licensing, no extra charges for system upgrades. Customers aren't even responsible for maintenance - ever! 

From commercial plants to gaming operations to the hotel industry, the T & G2 SecureTime ID System has arrived at a unique and opportune time in the market. 

After reading this mailing, look around and think about where you’ve been today, where you’ll go tomorrow? Could this product make those locations safer? If you were in charge of those facilities and could make the locations more secure cost effectively and with little effort on your part, would you?

You know your answer. Now, take a few moments to read a little more about this company... 

 T & G2 has a new contract for its SecureTime Biometric ID System with The Palos Verdes Inn in Redondo Beach, California to identify employees and track their schedules ... and Premise Inc. was so impressed when it beta-tested the system, they contracted for the continued use of two systems, the CEO went on a nationally syndicated financial televison program to praise the system and Premise referred two new potential clients to T & G2, one of which is a fortune 500 company ... and The T & G2 'Zingo' Product has been rewarded with contracts for its Bingo product from both Gaming companies and the U.S. Military.

Through its Wholly-owned subsidiary Solutions Technology Inc., T & G2 has developed the multi-functional, smart terminal SecureTime® biometric fingerprint identification and attendance system. The system can be used to improve security at airports, government offices, and other areas, and for payroll and attendance purposes. T & G2 also wholly owns Zingo Sales, LTD., which it acquired in the spring of 2002. Zingo is a bingo gaming technology that can be used in a bingo hall or on a hand-held touch-screen device.
 
 

ABOUT THE T & G2 WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY: SOLUTIONS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

The U.S. Market for employee time-tracking and payroll is approximately $10 billion and is at least that large again internationally. 

For example, the hotel industry needs a system that can handle gratuity and free food for its employees. Hospitals need a system that can schedule staff and nurses in accordance with government rules and regulations. Similarly, overseas markets have totally different requirements than the U. S. market. Most countries pay wages on a monthly basis; thus their rules for overtime and penalties are totally different. Solutions Technologies has designed their software to be completely data based modular and multi-lingual. 

The Company's objective is to capture 2% of the U. S. market and a sizeable portion of the international markets over the next five to seven years. Gaining just 2% of the U.S. market would equate to approximately $200 million in gross sales per year. This is a huge market, and capitalizing on it is the key to the success. Under a non-exclusive agreement, foreign distributors will purchase Solutions Tech hardware up front. There will be a monthly license fee per unit per week charged on an ongoing basis for the use of sophisticated SecureTime® software. Portland Entertainment has expansive contacts and relationships in numerous International markets and through these relationships, Portland Entertainment will distribute and service the SecureTime units. 

The International Market. 

Through this partnership with Portland Entertainment, expansion into Cyprus, Turkey, Hungary, Poland and the Czech republic has already begun. Forming working relationships with several leading distribution companies like Portland only enhances the Solutions Tech's bottom line. And of course, increasing revenues add to shareholder value and a rising stock price. The real key to success is that Solution Tech provides all the nuts and bolts of their service. Unlike other companies that branch out to third parties for technical support and help, Solution Tech is service intensive and does all the support for their systems. This is unique in the industry and at this time no other company offers this complete package. 

Solutions Technology, Inc. offers a customized SecureTime® biometric system that integrates fingerprint recognition security seamlessly into your business. Utilize our system to dramatically minimize your risks, streamline your processes, track your resources, and trim your labor costs. The SecureTime® biometric system consists of two key components: stand alone biometric  terminals and a back office suite of software services managed by Solutions Tech. The terminals can operate at your business independently, or be synchronized at any time via internal modem or Internet access. Each biometric terminal verifies identity while recording a time-stamped transaction. The configurable back office suite performs data collection and report generation in a variety of formats and media types that you choose. 

The Old Days Are Gone

The flexibility of the SecureTime® biometric system allows easy integration into the following applications: 

1) Identity Verification (tracks your resources precisely, by location) 
2) Secure Site Access (controls your alarms, turnstiles, and/or doors) 
3) Time & Attendance (calculates labor hours, exports directly to your payroll service) 

To reap the benefits of a SecureTime® biometric solution, all you need is a dedicated phone line. All of the hardware and software components of our systems are provided to our customers for an all inclusive periodic service fee based on the number of human resource assets that use the system. With our solution, you won't need a system administrator, you won't need to make a significant investment in hardware, you won't need a maintenance contract, you won't need spare parts, you won't need to purchase upgrades, and you won't even need an IT staff. Solutions Tech hosts the backoffice suite at our location in full compliance of your security requirements. 

Outsourcing. 

Due to streamlining, efficiency and budget cuts, the 90s saw everything from payroll to management consultation being outsourced to save dollars. Due to high startup costs and the complexity of security systems, many companies are unable to take the appropriate steps to protect themselves from site access. Other companies find themselves unable to support an internal security solution that is not their core competency. Solutions Tech can take the cost of hardware and software out of the equation and provide a value proposition that is impossible to beat: Solution Tech provides the solutions purely as a service.

The bottom line is that the Solutions Tech system enables clients to control and manage their resources precisely and become more efficient, without costs associated with ownershipand the company has earned solid references from 100% of our clients to date. 
 
 

WHY BIOMETRICS ?

   PRODUCT SNAPSHOT 

The first biometric system Solutions Tech developed is a Time and Attendance system. This system has all the major components of a positive ID data collection system. No "secret" required. Non-biometric systems require the use of "secret" information such as a PIN number or mother's maiden name to
identify an individual. Such systems are notoriously insecure.

By using the SecureTime Time and Attendance System, it is possible for a company to potentially save up to 5% on payroll by eliminating worker fraud such as ``Buddy Punching''. The SecureTime System is also a comfort for workers because the fingerprint technology eliminates almost all disputes as to the amount of time a worker was actually at work. Additionally, the SecureTime System is able to interface with payroll companies thereby eliminating the chance for lost and/or incorrect data that occurs from manual transfers.

The SecureTime Biometric system is also capable of being used for security purposes. With these programming adjustments, the system can be tied into other
surveillance systems to provide added security in highly sensitive work areas. Solutions Tech offers a complete turnkey solution for a small or mid-sized company that needs to collect time and attendance, scheduling, entitlements, and personal/pay records. With a seamless interface to payroll services, it provides the client with one of the most cohesive time and attendance management systems available anywhere.
 

   STAND ALONE SYSTEMS AND TERMINALS

LAN/WAN Independent.

Solution Tech devices are capable of being connected to a corporate LAN, but this is not a requirement. This feature greatly reduces the installation time and avoids burdening (or, in the worst case, creating) the corporate IT infrastructure. AC/Telco is the only requirement - Solution Tech systems are designed to collect data independently with occasional data upload via a telephone modem connection. 
 

Systems are sold as a service.

Data collection and reduction included - Solutions Technology collects the data from the terminals, processes the data, produces human-readable reports, and produces files needed by the customers computer systems (e.g., files containing hours worked are produced for the customers payroll system from data collected by the time and attendance system)

Maintenance free terminals.

Are included with the service, are installed and maintained by Solutions Technology. They are customizable and the terminal configuration is flexible, with bar code readers and SmartCard support being added as needed. The terminals are SmartCard programmable and reports and files may be customized to customer's specification 
 

   COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS

At present there are only two major systems on the market: mechanical punch card machines and electronic swipe card machines. Roughly 90% of all businesses use mechanical punch card machines and 10% use electronic swipe cards. This is the competition for TTGG and with the advances in technology and strides the company has already made, we feel strongly that TTGG has the product to penetrate the market and improve a customer's bottom line.

Mechanical Time Clocks have their employees insert a paper "punch time card" in the clock at the beginning and at the end of a work day. The clock stamps the date and time on the card. At the end of the work period these cards are collected and a payroll clerk calculates the hours and submits it to payroll. Various versions of these time clocks are available on the market and the cost varies between $99 and $3,000.

Electronic Swipe Card machines are data collection terminals that are linked to a computer. They are designed to store a limited number of absolute minimal information or raw data. This raw data is then transferred to a computer and the related software converts this data into the payroll information.

Simply put, biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of ID is preferred over traditional methods involving passwords and PIN numbers for various reasons: 

1) the person to be identified is required to be physically present at the point-of-identification; 
2) identification based on biometrics techniques does away with the need to remember a password or carry a swipe card for examples. With the increased use of computers as vehicles of information technology, it is necessary to restrict access to sensitive/personal data.

If the industry in general begins replacing PIN's, biometric techniques can potentially prevent systems of identification from being stolen.Various types of biometric systems are being used for real-time identification; the most popular are based on face recognition, iris scanning and fingerprint technology. The hardware Solutions Tech has, accommodates almost all situations and markets. 

What they're saying... 

"Here at Copies On Premise, our employees are often required to work at our clients' sites. The SecureTime® service provides two critical solutions in that regard: with positive fingerprint recognition it securely verifies our employees' identity without the need for additional security badges, and it also tracks the payroll hours spent at each site without the need for a supervisor. This isn't possible with any other system on the market today. Thanks, Solutions Technology!" 

ABOUT T & G2's  WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY: BINGO IT'S ZINGO ! ! !

Zingo manufactures electronic bingo and related gaming systems using off the shelf components and markets these products. 

The Zingo products are comprised of the latest hardware components available. Additionally, the programming has just been completed providing Zingo with the most advanced software in the electronic bingo market today. With the Zingo system, bingo players who can only follow 5 or 10 bingo cards at a time on paper will now be able to play hundreds of bingo cards at one time. The bingo halls and casinos love the system because they can now charge for additional bingo cards played without the additional cost of paper. Another reason the demand is so great for our system is that there are other games that can be played between each bingo session that generates additional income for the casino/bingo operator. 

What Sells Zingo.

With the Zingo system, bingo players who can only follow 5 or 10 bingo cards at a time on paper now have the capability to play hundreds of bingo cards at one time. The bingo halls and casinos love the system because they can now charge for additional bingo cards played without the additional cost of paper. Another reason the demand is so great for this system is that there are other games, which can be played between each bingo session generating additional revenue for the casino/bingo operator.

Fixed based bingo units and applications.

This unit is a touch screen similar to a computer monitor with minor hardware changes. The bingo unit will be hard wired into the bingo hall and as the name implies, it will not move around the bingo hall with the player. Sophisticated software has been developed for the bingo unit.

For the bingo hall, the fixed base unit provides a way to dramatically increase their revenue and earnings. Players will now be able to play hundreds of bingo cards at the same time. The bingo hall is able to market the extra cards to the players and since the prize payouts are basically the same, the bingo hall is able to increase its profits.

The unit allows the Indian bingo hall to make extra money between bingo games. The sophisticated software will allow the bingo halls on Indian reservations to provide variations of poker, blackjack, and even quick play games of bingo. On non-Indian lands, the same games can be played for fun to keep the players busy. This has been shown to draw additional players to the bingo hall.

Zingo military.

The first product is a fixed based unit and the second product will be a hand held unit expected in the second half of 2002. Proprietary software
has been developed that is equivalent to and/or more advanced than anything currently on the market.
