ITEM
7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
As
previously reported, during September 2005, the Company entered into an
agreement with a leading global payments solutions company pursuant to which
the
Company will utilize its e-Port technology and related network in order to
allow
beverage vending machines to accept payment through the use of contactless
credit cards as well as swipe card acceptance. The agreement initially covered
approximately 140 beverage vending machines located in five cities in the United
States. As a result of the successful outcome of this pilot, the Company and
the
global payments solutions company have entered into a new agreement for the
commercial deployment of the Company’s G-6 e-Port in a major U.S. city.
The
new
statement of work provides for the sale of the Company to the global payment
solutions company of 1,000 G-6 e-Ports. The e-Ports will be installed in
beverage vending machines located in one large metropolitan city. The vending
machines are owned by a leading soft drink bottler representing a major global
brand. The global payment solutions company will provide point of sale
advertising and local market programs to promote broad consumer use of cashless
vending. The Company will receive $395,000 from the global payments solutions
company. The Company will also receive its customary activation, network and
processing fees from the soft drink bottler. Installation of the e-Ports is
anticipated to begin in July 2006. The Company is also in discussions with
the
global payments solutions company for similar deployments in other large
metropolitan cities.
The
information in Item 7.01 of this Report should not be deemed to be “filed” for
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section.
