GREAT FALLS, Va., Jan 23, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Tutornet.com Group, Inc. (OTC pinksheets: TTNP), today announced that it has entered into letters of intent to acquire three companies with the view to expanding its business base and augmenting its development-stage online education business. The plan calls for these properties to be acquired.
The three companies consist of: 1. An electronic payment processing company that serves several hundred electronic bill payment centers located in the northeastern U.S. The acquisition candidate's advanced software allows WEB-Check payments, E-Bill payment and various credit card payment options. It also provides E-payment services to several fortune 500 companies.
2. A financial services company that provides prepaid debit & MasterCard(R) credit cards to the self-bank and X-Generation market segment. The prepaid cards are to be branded with the Tutornet logo and known as the "Tutornet E-Card." A cardholder will automatically receive a one month free trial of Tutornet's online tutoring services. TTNP intends to market and sell the Tutornet E-Card.
3. A residential real estate/property services company that intends to renovate and operate "Smart-Properties" for the post-secondary learning community. Smart-Properties are designed to provide students with affordable access to e-learning and computer-driven technologies "off campus" while remaining nearby their respective higher learning institutions.
According to a company spokesman, TTNP believes the closing of the above- stated acquisitions combined with launching its online tutoring services may provide positive synergies and improve the opportunity for success of implementing TTNP's revised business plan.
