SSTY 101 by Johncee1

Part One – Press releases:


Our vision is to become the world leader in the provision of anti-counterfeiting, brand and product authentication, and security products and services

Sure Trace's goal is to develop the world standard for anti counterfeiting by using a combination of field investigation, individual product marking, and utilizing its secure, web-enable database. Sure trace is well positioned to bid for an R&D contract from a foreign corporation that could potentially fund all the developmental stages and be a test market for governmental use. One of the main goals of the implementation of Sure Trace's technology will be to assist governments in the collection of the proper tax revenue for the particular governments and protect the branded merchandise that is currently lost.

Sure Trace Strengthens Chinese Connection; Company Increases Its Equity Stake In China Joint Venture Vehicle; Sure Trace Asia Ltd. To Become Wholly Owned Subsidiary
June 17, 2005

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 2005--
New CEO Added; China Demos Successfully Completed

Sure Trace Security Corporation (OTC:SSTY) (the "Company") announced that, because of its completion of a highly successful demonstration of the Company's capabilities in Beijing, China, it has been able to reshape the framework of its China joint venture. The Company will now hold a majority interest in the joint venture vehicle as opposed to a minority position.
The vehicle, Sure Trace Asia Ltd. (STA), will become a subsidiary of SSTY. The Company will now own 85% of STA instead of 40%. STA and Beijing Suneray Communication Co. Ltd. (Suneray) have an exclusive relationship to bring the Company's technologies into China, Macau & Hong Kong. The joint venture will share the costs and profits on a 50/50 basis.
Mr. William Chan, of Hong Kong, who was instrumental in bringing the Suneray deal to STA, has also agreed to become the CEO of both SSTY and STA. He will also sit on both Boards and will be located in the Company's Hong Kong office. Mr. Cimino will be President and Vice-Chairman of both companies and operate out of the Company's home office in Philadelphia.
Suneray, incorporated in Beijing, China, is legally authorized by People's Republic of China as an agent for the organization and implementation of the Unified Coding Rules for Products and Services, a compulsory national standard of the People's Republic of China.
Mr. Cimino, the Company President said, "This is a promising deal for the shareholders of Sure Trace. We have formed a joint venture with a major gatekeeper for the Chinese government, for the introduction of the types of technologies that we provide. In effect, the door to China is wide open to us... while others may still be just knocking at the door, the Chinese government itself, through Suneray, has already invited us in... That gives us a strong competitive advantage... especially given that we have successfully completed the demonstration stage of the process."
"Now that we also own a majority interest in STA, I believe we have further protected the interests of Sure Trace's shareholders and increased the value of the Company's holdings," said Cimino.

Sure Trace Licenses Additional Technology For Use In China; Company Also Offers Details Of Previous Acquisitions; Hires CFO
July 27, 2005
12:04 ET PHILADELPHIA--(Business Wire)--Jul 27, 2005--
Sure Trace Security Corporation (OTC:SSTY.u) has today announced that, it has entered into a binding agreement with Sensor Media Corporation (Sensor) through its subsidiaries, to utilize Sensor's licensed technology in China, Hong Kong and Macau. It has also been granted the sole option to acquire Sensor's threesubsidiaries described below within 120 days of the execution of the agreement upon mutually acceptable terms.
Sensor has indicated that it owns the Intellectual Property rights to various technologies which include solar collection systems, fingerprint imaging systems, and TV back-Plane systems. These technologies are held through Sensor's subsidiaries -- SMC Solar, SMC Biometrics and SMC TV. Sensor has licensed worldwide exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights for these technologies and has granted exclusive sub-licenses to its three wholly owned subsidiaries.
Sensor's subsidiaries (SMC Solar; SMC Biometrics; and SMC TV) have, in turn, granted SSTY an exclusive sub-license to utilize, market and also sub-license these technologies within certain territories and on the terms described below:
SMC Solar: Exclusive rights in China, Hong Kong & Macau (for solar collection technology). (a)
SMC Biometrics: Exclusive rights in China, Hong Kong & Macau (for fingerprint imaging technology). (b)
SMC TV: Exclusive rights in China, Hong Kong & Macau (for TV back-Plane technology). (b)
(a) After 120 days from the execution of the Agreement, the rights will become worldwide except for the following territories, where SMC already has existing contracts: Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Soviet Union and Africa).
(b) After 120 days, the rights will become worldwide.
Also, in response to inquiries from its shareholders SSTY wanted to clarify the details and chronology of the Globe Staff and Sensor acquisitions.
SSTY previously announced letters of intent with SMC Biometric and Globe StaffConsulting (GSC). Since then, SSTY chose to concentrate its efforts in closing its deal with Suneray Beijing, and then using the connections developed/introduced through Suneray to build markets for the SSTY, SMC Biometric and GSC products/technologies.
The terms of the prior acquisition agreements were not fully met, after signing, by the parties, so current management revisited the situations and found a way to restructure the deals to the Company's benefit and to the approval of both GSC and Sensor. In the case of the GSC deal, instead of paying GSC six million ($6,000,000) dollars as consideration for the purchase, the Company was able to acquire 100% of the stock of GSC in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities of GSC which should amount to less than $600,000. The company also issued GSC 242.5 million restricted shares of SSTY common stock as consideration for the acquisition.
SSTY has also today announced that it has resigned an updated and renegotiated agreement with SMC Biometric Inc. and its parent company Sensor Media Corporation. Under the terms of the LOI, SSTY has a four month option to close the acquisition which management believes will allow it sufficient time to secure revenue contracts for the fingerprint technology.
With the Suneray agreement now executed and in effect SSTY has once again focused its attention to building out its line of security products. In fact SSTY has commenced talks with its Chinese partners directly and European connections via GSC. In effect, SSTY now has the time to enter into revenue producing contracts before it has to fully pay for the acquisitions.
The Company also today announced the hiring of Joseph J. Repko, CPA as its CFO.
Mr. Repko brings many talents to the Company. He founded a full service accounting firm in 1984 with clients in a wide range of industries and services including manufacturing, video production, publishing, banking, financial, medical services, mining, automotive services, nonprofit and government entities. The services provided for these clients include compilation review, audit, tax, MIS consultation, SEC filings, IPO's and foreign operations. It has offices in Springfield, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Philadelphia) and in Jupiter Florida. Mr. Repko will work both out of the Philadelphia headquarters and a Florida location, near the Company's auditors.

Sure Trace Security Corporation Participates in a Public Demonstration of the Anti-Counterfeiting Technologies Held in Beijing by Its Subsidiary Sure Trace Asia Limited and Its Joint Venture Partner, Suneray, on Wednesday August 17, 2005
August 17, 2005
13:28 ET BEIJING--(Business Wire)--Aug 17, 2005--
Sure Trace Security Corporation (OTC:SSTY.u) announced that it has today participated in a public demonstration of its anti-counterfeiting technologies in Beijing, China. In attendance were over fifty persons, including representatives of National and Regional Government departments, including Military, Customs and Civilian Services, licensee of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, brand manufacturers, including cigarette, pharmaceutical, as well as Chinese regional and national media.
The demonstration was put on by Sure Trace's 85% subsidiary, Sure Trace Asia Limited (STA), and Beijing Suneray Zexin Technology Limited (Suneray), the co-owners of a joint venture recently approved by the Chinese Government to commercialize Sure Trace's anti-counterfeiting technologies in China.
The demo was videotaped by Chinese television and is intended to be broadcast at a later date. Those segments will be posted on the Company's website when available; however, the Company also videotaped the demonstration and its footage should be available on the Company's website later today.
Mr. Li Ning, General Manager of Suneray, stated in his opening remarks at today's demonstration: "Through the course of our due diligence into a wide variety of anti-counterfeiting technologies available globally, we selected SSTY as it is not merely the 'best of breed' in terms of product but rather a full service solution. SSTY deals with the heart of counterfeiting and at the same time will create thousands of jobs within China, will return many millions of dollars back to the owners of brand name goods, as well as generate tax revenue to the Government that will benefit the People of China."
William Chan, CEO of SSTY and STA stated: "This was a great success today. Working with Suneray for the past several months, we have had the opportunity to meet many possible clients while at the same time working with Government organizations to gain national approval of our products and techniques. I am very proud of our own people who have worked very hard to deliver our technology to China in a fashion that has met the cultural, ethical, and economic needs of China. The solution that the Joint Venture we presented to the People of China today creates a tremendous springboard opportunity for us to create similar joint venture partnerships in other parts of Asia."
Mr. Jim MacKay, Chairman of SSTY said: "We have worked very hard for this day and the result has been fantastic. The turnout for our presentation was very good, which indicates to me that our Joint Venture Partnership is off to an excellent start. In my opinion, Suneray, working together with Sure Trace Asia and our own SSTY employees, have done a wonderful job in building a provable anti-counterfeit solution acceptable to the Chinese Government that can be expanded to the rest of the world. A very exciting part of Suneray's Government mandate is that, potentially, every single consumer good produced for both domestic consumption as well as export goods will be marked with a True Product I.D. I am confident that today marks a significant step forward in the business growth of SSTY."
As part of its roll out of products and services in China, SSTY, together with its joint venture partners, determined that the new name for its technology is "True Product I.D." Over the course of the next few weeks, SSTY intends to update its web site to promote True Product I.D.

Sure Trace Releases Shareholder Update; Company Files Litigation Against Former Officials of Sure Trace; Company is Cooperating with U.S. and Canadian Investigations
August 26, 2005
09:13 ET PHILADELPHIA--(Business Wire)--Aug 26, 2005--

Sure Trace Security Corporation (OTC:SSTY.u) announced that it has filed a lawsuit against various former officers, directors or representatives of Sure Trace, and their newly formed company, alleging that the defendants have violated non-competition agreements with Sure Trace, misappropriated business opportunities belong to Sure Trace, and engaged in other wrongful conduct designed to damage Sure Trace.

The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on August 9, 2005. It is captioned Sure Trace Security Corporation v. James Barry, et al., Case No. 2:05-cv-04216-HB. The case has been assigned to United States District Judge Harvey Bartle III and can be accessed via the U.S. District Court's PACER website at https://ecf.paed.uscourts.gov/.

Sure Trace had previously engaged counsel to investigate the matter, which led to the filing of the lawsuit. It has also engaged counsel to represent Sure Trace in an ongoing formal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as an inquiry being conducted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Sure Trace management has learned that both investigations appear to focus on whether certain press releases issued by Sure Trace during 2004 and 2005 made proper disclosures of the matters discussed in the releases. Sure Trace's management believes that some of the releases were issued at a time when some of the individuals who have been sued by Sure Trace were in control of Sure Trace.

Sure Trace management has pledged to cooperate fully with both the SEC and the RCMP. That cooperation is ongoing. Sure Trace's counsel has communicated with the SEC in response to questions raised by the SEC staff, and will continue to do so. Comparable cooperation is ongoing with the RCMP. Although Sure Trace is confident that present management has committed no wrongdoing, it has decided not to engage in a public airing of theissues, including the motivations of those who appear to have piqued the interest of the SEC and the RCMP to conduct their investigations. "We will let the facts speak for themselves in our dealings with the regulators," said Mr. Cimino. "At the same time," Mr. Cimino said, "we will fight hard against ongoing attempts by others to besmirch our company and its officers and directors." He also stated: "Personal attacks against individuals associated with Sure Trace are disgusting and demeaning to those making those attacks." He called on those making the attacks to "cease and desist" from further personal attacks.

Mr. Cimino also said that the company continues to work on the development of business alliances in China and the Philippines. Sure Trace and its Chinese joint venture partner conducted a public demonstration last week of Sure Trace's basic technologies. Further developments will be publicly disclosed when warranted.

Mr. William Chan, CEO of both Sure Trace Security Corporation and Sure Trace Asia stated, "I am very proud of the progress we have made in China. Suneray has proved a most worthy partner. They have opened many doors to Anti-counterfeit business opportunities in China and with our new facilities set up; we are much stronger now to maximize these opportunities. I am also very proud of our Sure Trace Security Corporation staff in their recent successes and continuing commitment in providing training and support to the JV staff and sales force."
Mr. Li, President of Suneray stated, "These new offices and manufacturing facilities give us the sufficient space we needed to satisfactorily carry out the client's specific demands regarding the products and services. Over the next few weeks Sure Trace Technology will have its own website developed and we are happy to see that Sure Trace Security Corporation now has a Chinese language version of theirs which certainly provide a great interaction support in developing our business in China.

Management believes that Sure Trace's True Product ID Solution, which has been chosen by a variety of sectors in China to be their anti-counterfeiting, tracking and authentication solution of choice, can achieve global leadership in commercializing these vital solutions.
Sure Trace is seeking to become the standard for anti-counterfeiting solutions. The potential market for such products is immense. Sure Trace believes that its solutions have the technical characteristics that, once exposed to the market, will prove very attractive to both industry and government. In its initial foray into the North American market, the company is targeting Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Dallas for the Expos designed to recruit North American distribution.
Sure Trace plans to host two demonstrations per city. The afternoon sessions will be programmed and designed for potential distributors and evening sessions will be designed for potential investors. During the demonstrations, potential distributors will learn our price strategy, business plan, business model, and how to operate a distributorship. Sure Trace will reveal to potential investors what Sure Trace believes makes it a potentially dominant commercial force in the field of anti-counterfeiting, tracking and authentication solutions. Sure Trace believes that its software database, different levels of security products and ability to be commercially ready now will combine to enable it to begin developing a network of distributors in North America, starting in 2006.
James Mackay, the Company's Chairman stated: 'I believe in the integrity of our product and Company. It is now time for the public to see, through public demonstrations, the fact that Sure Trace has positioned itself to be the leader in the field of anti-counterfeiting solutions. Sure Trace has developed partnerships in China that are based on the quality of its product and its adaptability to practical uses. Our goal in China was to help the Chinese Government combat the global problem of counterfeiting. I believe the outcome of these demonstrations in the U.S. will prove the value of the product to the North American market.'
Sure Trace also plans to hold a conference call with shareholders and other interested parties on Monday, November 21, 2005 at 6:00 PM EST. Information on how to participate is posted at http://www.suretrace.com .

SSTY's JV Signs Contract With Chinese Government-Sponsored Anti-Counterfeiting Network
November 21, 2005
BEIJING and PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sure Trace
Security Corporation (OTC: SSTY) announced that True Product ID Technology
(Beijing) Limited has signed a service agreement with The National Brand
Cartel Anti-Counterfeit Cooperation Network - Brand315.com, to deliver the
True Product ID anti-counterfeiting technology. True Product ID Technology
(Beijing) Limited is a joint venture owned 50% by a Chinese corporation,
Beijing Suneray Zexin Technology Limited and 50% by True Product ID Technology Limited, 85% of which is owned by Sure Trace.

Brand315.com is established under the authorization of the Ministry of
Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of
China. It is a network introducing anti-counterfeit technologies, services
and law enforcement for branded products. Brand315 provides security labels
to top national brands in China and has 600 active members. Its clients cover
all areas of consumer goods and, collectively, distribute billions of units of
goods per day.

Brand315 has informed Sure Trace that it chose the Company's solutions,
collectively known as True Product ID, because it recognized that the
components of this one solution fit the varied and specific needs of all
Brand315's members. According to the feedback from Brand315, what set the Company apart from other technologies is that we have demonstrated the present ability to deliver the technologies developed for China and deploy them across many different applications - from controlling and tracking counterfeit products, containers, authenticating precious artifacts, identity authentication, transportation systems, munitions and document management.

This initial pilot program contract calls for the joint venture to mark
2 billion labels of the top brands in China. If this initial pilot program is
completed as planned, Company officials estimate that the total receipts under this contract will approximate $5,000,000 over the next 3 months. The amount may vary due to fluctuations in the currency exchange rate.

This number of items to be marked in this initial agreement, 2 billion
units, is just the average daily amount of units commonly processed by the
Brand315 network.

The Company will be providing scanners (both from Innov-X and AMCO),
taggants, the services of its proprietary, remote, real-time authentication
software system, KMACK, and networking to the central database.

James Mackay, the Chairman of the Company said, "For the most part of the
last year, our team here in China has worked extremely hard to provide China
with a total anti-counterfeiting solution. China has chosen to take this
important step in the war on counterfeiting to put a stop to counterfeit goods
not only in China but the world." He went on to say: "True Product ID is very
proud to support the Chinese government in establishing a world standard and
building the spirit of 'one world one dream.'"
