SMNC Approves Plan to Buyback 20 Million Shares
Thursday April 22, 8:30 am ET
CLEARWATER, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 22, 2004 -- Summit National Consolidation Group, Inc. (Other OTC:SMNC.PK - News) announces the approval of a plan to purchase, from time to time in the open market, up to 20 million shares of the company's common stock over the next 12 months.

"Given our improved cash position and projected cash flows, we believe the implementation of a share repurchase program is an excellent means to return additional value to our shareholders," said Mario Quenneville, President and CEO of SMNC. "This action reflects our strong belief in the fundamental value of our intellectual property, trademarks, patents, copyrights, and core business."
SMNC plans to commence the repurchase of shares immediately and will continue such repurchases from time to time in the open market at prices and times deemed to be beneficial to the long-term interests of shareholders and the Company. The amount and timing of the repurchases will depend on the price of the Company's common stock and market and business conditions, including the amount and timing of acquisitions. Any repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes.
"At current prices, we believe our stock represents an attractive investment opportunity and that this plan, in conjunction with our previously announced cancellation of approximately 49 million shares, reflects a serious commitment to improving long term stockholder value and discourage the irresponsible practice of naked short selling," added Mr. Quenneville.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2004--21st Century Technologies, Inc.

TechVision21, working closely with Perennial Strategy Group and building upon its successes, will initially focus on acquiring research and development funds for the next generation of its patch technologies.
"We believe that our patch technologies - including our current ProMag and SeaPatch devices - offer unique leak resistance necessary to meet today's war and terror challenges," explained Kevin Romney, President and CEO. "Congress has been impressed with the holding power of our current technology, and we're now turning our efforts to research and development needed to further improve the technology and create the next generation of products, thereby opening supplemental product markets.
"This expansion marks the second phase of our federal efforts," he added. "We are pleased to work with TechVision21 on this effort."
21st Century Technologies is executing a federal relations plan to introduce decision makers to its subsidiary companies and their technologies. TechVision21 will coordinate closely with and complement the efforts of Perennial Strategy Group, which focuses its efforts on the appropriations process.
TechVision21 is a global technology strategy firm that leverages business, technology and government expertise to help organizations pinpoint and secure federal research and technology funding. The effort will be led by the Honorable Kelly Carnes. Ms. Carnes previously served eight years at the highest levels of the federal government, first in the White House, and later, as a trusted technology policy advisor to four secretaries of commerce. She has led numerous presidential and cabinet-level science and technology initiatives. As a presidential appointee, confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Ms. Carnes frequently testified before Congress, represented the United States in negotiations with foreign governments, and served as a liaison to, and advocate for, the technology business community.
ProMag and SeaPatch devices are magnetic patches capable of sealing any type of leak in any size. The devices can be used on large and small circular punctures, jagged tears, or even bullet holes to avert disasters that are natural, accidental or caused by acts of terror. These patches are manufactured by Trident Technologies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 21st Century.

well..the page colors are nice...
gawd, I hate that Star Trek font and the extra long tag line. LOL.
dave
FWIW..I take anything that's posted on Raging Bull with the same amount of credibility as if it were posted in The National Inquirer. JUST MY OPINION.
dave
it was ECNC, Scad :) And the CEO is now doing time.
great explanation...but I only have one point that I'd like you to clarify for me..
'if the company has extra revenue, they can opt to purchase..."
so, does that mean they can ONLY purchase those shares with proceedes from revenue? (as opposed to a majority shareholder like Frank just purchasing them with his own money and then retiring them)?
The question I've always had was why wasn't the company buying them while they were under a penny?
again..thanks for the insight!
well..let's see..this thing sat UNDER .01 for a loooong time. Had a nice big spike based on some amazing talent being signed. The market reacted to that news, then pulled back to a relatively constant level just under .02.
not really sure an R/S is in order. If they were going to do that, it would have been done a long time ago while the stock just sat there.
I do want to see the next batch of financials, though. Personally, I've taken my profits on the run, and now will hold throughout the summer to see what Paris, Maliah and others do to the bottom line.
ditto
as long as I'm not downwind, I'm happy.
:)
bingo :) I lived through that with ECNC.
I don't believe a word Frank says. Only action.
and, let's all ask ourselves this....WHEN will Frank do what it takes to get this OFF THE PINK SHEETS?!?!?!
NOONE is really going to take this seriously until it's back on the OTC, imvho.
I agree with you, War. But..they'll be no 'take the money and run' for Frank this time without the SEC chasing him.
oh yeah..anyone who's done any research at all knows the paths that Frank has taken us on for the past 5 years. I stopped using the "cry wolf' phrase a few years back because it just became a joke.
all I can say is that it APPEARS that he's learned and changed, and he's got SERIOUS people working on getting QBID up and on the air this time.
all I know is that if any more promises are broken (such as the soft launch/hard launch dates, buy back, no R/S, etc)..this beeoch will sink to .0001 so fast that the suction will create a vortex the size of Kansas :)
I've already TOS'd him. Newly created alias..blah blah blah..
if it dives under .01, I'll buy more...
sooo..why wouldn't the buyback happen NOW when the stock is dirt cheap???? How expensive is it going to be in Oct?
just wonderin...
LOLOL. I just finally had to delete the shortcut from my toolbar to KEEP me from going there. I get temped now and then..but then..I remember the horror of it all... :)
just giving dirk some helpful advice :)

49 Million Shares Cancelled
CLEARWATER, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 21, 2004 -- Summit National Consolidation Group, Inc. (Other OTC:SMNC.PK - News) announces shareholders representing approximately 69 million shares of the outstanding common stock of SMNC have returned their shares to the company.

Oregon Judge Orders Halt to Same-Sex Marriages
Tuesday, April 20, 2004
PORTLAND, Ore. — A judge on Tuesday ordered a halt to same-sex marriage (search) in an Oregon county that for weeks has been the only place in the nation where gays can get married.
Judge Frank Bearden said he believes the Oregon constitution would allow either civil unions or gay marriage, but he said a state Supreme Court ruling is needed first. He also said "public debate and legislative action may be required to carry out the court's mandate."
The ruling came in a lawsuit that has consolidated all the arguments over same-sex unions in hopes of a quick ruling by the Oregon Supreme Court.
Multnomah County (search), which is home to Portland, began issuing marriage licenses to gays on March 3 after a legal review determined it was unconstitutional to ban applications from same-sex couples. About 3,000 gay couples have gotten married in the county since then.
The action effectively ends gay marriage nationally, because the county was the only jurisdiction in the country known to allow same-sex weddings. On May 17, the state of Massachusetts is slated to begin allowing gay marriage following a high court ruling there.
Kevin Neely, a spokesman for the Oregon attorney general's office, called Bearden's decision "a big step in what will be a bit longer process."
"Our goal from the beginning was to get a ruling from the Supreme Court, but this initial ruling does provide at least some clarity and a framework for moving to that next step," Neely said. "The real key here is to give the Legislature an opportunity to craft a law that the courts will deem constitutionally sound."
Bonnie Tinker, of the pro-gay marriage group Love Makes a Family (search), was critical of the judge's order to stop gay marriage in Multnomah County for the time being.
"I am extremely disappointed that this will not continue until there is an Oregon Supreme Court decision, especially when there is so much legal opinion that it is unconstitutional to deny same-sex marriages in Oregon," said Tinker, who married her partner of 27 years in the Quaker Church last Saturday.
HAHAHA :)
just don't forget to jump out of the pool for a second here and there on the way to get some 14k Gold Corn Dogs and a little extra bling-bling for the pockets :>)
sheeshh that cover page is fugly :) Then again, at least there's no clip art of happy gay people doing happy gay things together :)
