PrimeHoldings.com, Inc. Announces Successful Conclusion of Cost Control, LLC's Testing and Acquisition of First Paying Customer
Monday November 17, 8:30 am ET
SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 17, 2003 -- PrimeHoldings.com, Inc. (Other OTC:PRIM.PK - News), a diversified holding company with early-mover initiatives in the telecommunications and wireless auction space, and proprietary restaurant and hospitality industries software, today announced the successful completion of its joint venture partner, Cost Control, LLC's, proprietary restaurant and hospitality software's beta testing and the acquisition of Cost Control's first paying customer.
"With the successful completion of our proprietary software's beta testing at two high end restaurants in Park City, Utah, we feel that the bulk of the hard work is behind us," said Spencer Taylor, Cost Control's, and Managing Partner. "We have always known that our software and hardware applications are unique to the hospitality industry and our innovative technology will modernize many aspects of the way that restaurants and clubs manage their businesses."
"Going 'live' in Salt Lake City -- in that we are no longer offering our products for free -- is an important milestone for us," said Gary Marshall, Cost Control's Chief Technology Officer. "Now that we have signed our first paying customer that will purchase a suite of products from us, we can kick off our marketing efforts, initially by marketing our products to the many fine restaurants and hospitality clubs in Salt Lake City," said Marshall. "We are now looking to PrimeHoldings.com to help us define our markets and go after them with great zeal," said Taylor.
"We have always known that Cost Control has distinctive and ground-breaking products that the hospitality industry would embrace, once tested, and we are glad that Cost Control has taken the time and that together we have directed the capital to test Cost Control's products adequately. Because these products can streamline any restaurant or club's operation and improve its cash flow without greatly adding to its monthly costs, we believe that virtually every restaurant and club in America -- from the chain store to the small 'mom and pop' restaurant -- can afford and will benefit from Cost Control's products," said Thomas Aliprandi, PrimeHoldings.com's President and CEO. "In fact, our philosophy at Prime is 'how can any restaurant afford NOT to have Cost Control's products.'"
"With the testing behind us, we hope to conclude our acquisition of Cost Control before the end of the year," said Aliprandi. "Becoming part of Prime is a priority for us and completing this transaction this year will be propitious," concurred Taylor.
Once acquired, Cost Control, LLC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PrimeHoldings.com.

They both feel that there is a need for a product such as our product in the hospitality industry and that our product may well fill the need," said Thomas Aliprandi, Prime Holding's CEO. "As I studied the reports generated during the product's testing period, I am amazed how simple our product is but yet how profoundly its implementation can affect a restaurant's 'bottom line,'" said Aliprandi.

PrimeHoldings.com Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Briza Technologies, Inc.
Tuesday January 20, 10:30 am ET
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PrimeHoldings.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PRIM.PK - News), a diversified holding company with early-mover initiatives in the telecommunications and wireless auction space, and proprietary restaurant and hospitality industries software, today announced the signing of a Letter of Intent by its wholly owned subsidiary, TimeMarker, Inc., to acquire Briza Technologies, Inc., a Hillsborough, NJ based corporation that conceives and manufactures wireless credit card payment solutions and Internet security devices.
PrimeHoldings.com, Inc. today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, TimeMarker, Inc., signed a letter of intent to acquire Briza Technologies, Inc. and that TimeMarker will hold it as a subsidiary. Briza currently contracts with foreign-based corporations to perform credit card billing services over a wireless platform.
"TimeMarker is an early developer of wireless Internet exchange technology enabling location-based, dynamic pricing of time-perishable goods and services and developed several unique and ground-breaking products-primarily in the golf industry -- over the years that use a wireless platform," said Thomas Aliprandi, PrimeHoldings' CEO. "We have been looking for some time to find a candidate for TimeMarker to acquire so that we can use its experience and infrastructure to build and market new products that require a wireless platform," said Aliprandi. "Several months ago Ashlin Capital in New York City, which has facilitated the acquisition, initiated talks between our company and Briza Technologies and we finally reached an acquisition agreement comprised primarily of a stock for stock exchange, that will benefit both Briza Technologies and PrimeHoldings," said Aliprandi.
"Briza Technologies develops wireless credit card payment solutions and has associated itself with top-level experts in the various fields of wireless, information technology, electronics manufacturing and credit card processors in order to successfully advance and implement its wireless credit card payment SMS Solutions," said Ivan Silva, Briza's president and CEO.
"We have been working on several contracts that involve completing mobile network applications to process credit card transactions over our wireless billing platform, and providing full ISO 8583 (the standard option for financial institutions' communications with EFT networks, switch processing and POS devises) connectivity to banks and wireless companies. This merger with TimeMarker will help us from a manpower and capital standpoint and will allow us to finish the products in a shorter time frame," said Silva. "PrimeHoldings and its people have been in this business for quite some time and will assist us in not only finishing the Brazilian contract, but also concluding negotiations for other, highly profitable international contracts similar to our development and processing agreement in Brazil," said Silva. "I believe that there is great synergy between what TimeMarker has done and what we can do in the future. I anticipate a very lucrative future for our two companies, " said Silva.
"We have great plans and opportunities for developing and promoting Briza Technologies' products domestically and internationally. We hope to complete this transaction as soon as possible," said Aliprandi.

(OTC: PRIM.PK - News), a diversified holding company with early-mover initiatives in the telecommunications and wireless auction space, and proprietary restaurant and hospitality industries software, today announced the completion of its joint venture partner, Cost Control, LLC's proprietary restaurant and hospitality software's product.
"When we announced earlier in the month that we intended to have Version I of our proprietary software product completed by month's end, I was not sure we could meet that goal; however, the final phases of testing and implementation went so smoothly and we had so few problems, that we beat our intended date by almost 5 days," said R.M. Cassell, Cost Control's Technology Advisor. "When Cost Control informed me last Friday that the software's Version I would be live on January 26, I escalated negotiations with several potential distributors and end users," said Tom Aliprandi, PrimeHoldings.com's CEO. "We believe that we will have a significant sale of our product and services in the coming weeks," said Cassell, "because it is easy for a restaurant, club or casino to invest the money in our software when our tests have shown a significant decrease in a restaurant's costs when using our software and a corresponding increase in its net profits."

PrimeHoldings.com and Briza Technologies Commence Testing Briza Technologies' Proprietary Enhanced Text Messaging and Micro Payment Services Product
Thursday January 29, 10:30 am ET
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PrimeHoldings.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PRIM.PK - News), a diversified holding company with early-mover initiatives in the telecommunications and wireless auction space and proprietary restaurant and hospitality industries software, today announced that Briza Technologies, Inc., which is to be acquired by TimeMarker, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PrimeHoldings.com, commenced testing and marketing Briza Technologies' proprietary enhanced text-messaging and micro payment services product, known as Recadinhos.com, to the Brazilian community in the New York tri-state area.
Briza Technologies, Inc., is a Hillsborough, NJ based corporation whose primary business is the conception and manufacturing of wireless credit card payment solutions and Internet security devices, to be marketed internationally and domestically.
Briza Technologies launched its text-messaging service (Recadinhos.com) in July of 2003. The mobile text-messaging service offered by Recadinhos.com is a pre-paid international text messaging and micro-payment service that is currently providing service primarily to the Brazilian communities in the United States and to Brazil. "With almost 184 million people, Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world, but only about 32 % of Brazilian homes have computers, and only 24% have Internet access; however, 66% of Brazilian homes have at least one prepaid mobile telephone," said Ivan Silva, Briza Technologies' President and CEO. "Recadinhos.com allows not only instant mobile telephone text-messaging between Brazilians in the U.S. and third parties in Brazil, but it also allows Brazilians in the U.S. to send money (as little as $10.00) to a third party in Brazil directly from their cellular telephones, paying only a few cents for the transaction. Conventional money transfer agencies are very expensive and do not transfer such small amounts. Brazilians in the U.S. currently send several billion dollars to third parties in Brazil annually, paying hundreds of millions in transfer fees," said Silva.
"When fully deployed in Brazil, the Briza network will also allow Brazilians who receive credit transfers from the U.S. to use the Recadinhos.com technology to electronically pay for a wide variety of goods and services, including their own prepaid cellular telephones," said Thomas Aliprandi, PrimeHoldings.com's CEO. "This is one of the primary reasons we are so excited about our new relationship with Briza. Briza's micro technology alone will save U.S. Brazilians wanting to send money home to Brazil, millions of dollars in transfer fees, but allow Briza to capture significant revenues," said Aliprandi "Recadinhos.com currently has connectivity to six million cellular telephone users in Brazil and once in place in Brazil, we plan to expand the text-messaging and micro-payment services throughout South America," said Silva.
"By TimeMarker acquiring us, we will have the infrastructure and ultimately the capital to greatly expand Recadinhos.com's customer base, and at the same time demonstrate to our new partners the existing connectivity already available to Briza in Brazil, the versatility of our products and the great expansion potential in South America and other foreign markets," said Silva.
"We are working tirelessly to have the full technological potential of Briza deployed in a very short time. The Recadinhos.com technology is only a single, small component of the Briza technology base that will bring fresh business and ultimate profits to our company. We are eager to complete the Briza acquisition as quickly as possible," said Aliprandi.
Once acquired, Briza Technologies will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of TimeMarker, Inc.

PrimeHoldings.com and Briza Technologies Initiate Deployment of Briza Technologies' Proprietary Micro Payment Services Product in Brazil
Thursday February 5, 10:43 am ET
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PrimeHoldings.com, Inc. (OTC: PRIM - News), a diversified holding company with early-mover initiatives in the telecommunications, wireless auction and proprietary restaurant and hospitality software industries, today announced that Briza Technologies, Inc., which is to be acquired by TimeMarker, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PrimeHoldings.com, is prepared to beta test its Short Message Service (SMS) wireless credit card verification technology in Brazil.
Briza Technologies, Inc. is a Hillsborough, NJ based corporation whose primary business is the conception and manufacturing of wireless credit card payment solutions and Internet security devices.
"Having successfully completed live Internet alpha demonstrations of our encrypted SMS credit card data capture technology solutions technology, we are now prepared to initiate a full beta test in Brazil and deploy our technology immediately", said Ivan Silva, Briza Technologies' President and CEO.
Briza Technologies' Encrypted SMS credit card verification solution is a patent pending technology that provides more secure and faster validation time for credit card transactions than the widely used dial up system and requires no dedicated phone lines to process the transaction.
"Our solution is built on top of existing and extremely reliable SMS infrastructure that is also currently used for cellular telephone communication," added Silva. "This makes our technology solution the most likely choice for credit card companies wanting to tap into the emerging wireless credit card charge verification market, once the platform is ready for full commercial application."
"We are thrilled at how quickly Briza's product sailed through alpha testing," said Thomas Aliprandi, PrimeHoldings CEO. "We believe that Briza's product will be embraced in Brazil and other South American countries, since SMS technology is readily available and because of the ever-expanding use of mobile telephones around the world. With this technology's presence in our initial Brazilian market, capacity and coverage for Briza's wireless data application will never be an issue and it is anti-obsolescent since it is already compatible with 3G, the third generation wireless technology."

This is one of the stocks that appeared to be on the move last week but kept getting pushed back after morning gaps and spikes. I for one am enjoying the volatile play we have been experiencing recently as it allows us to play quick gains, and acquire many free shares in our portfolio as we continually buy, sell, and re-buy stocks that appear to be on the verge of breakout.
We are all aware of the tremendous problem of credit card fraud. It just seems to be gettin worse all the time. This is the issue and solution that is needed to battle the current problem. Granted, can't eliminate problem completely but this company is on the right track in my opinion. At these current prices I feel it is a terrific stock and offers near future increased value as the problem of credit card fraud is being heavily examined by all retail venues as we speak. I am continually asked here and with personal emails to give thoughts on my picks. As all know, I buy on the fly. Even in slow market years, something will be moving everyday. Information on current news in key. But if you want to know Dog's take on things to be........this is one of my main stock interests.
