(D..Value added!! CEO Massimo Barone stated, "During the last 2 years, our company has benefited from accelerated growth with limited appreciation of our common share price, thus not creating value for our existing shareholders. Insiders as well as some current shareholders have taken advantage of this situation further increasing their positions. The current strength of the Canadian dollar has also contributed to their desire to further accumulate additional shares. As a result of the share price I have initiated discussions with a handful of established and reputable business appraisal firms with the expertise and knowledge to properly evaluate SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc, its technology and its current client base. This will provide a basis to our existing and potential shareholders to properly evaluate the true value of the company.

In 1998, Mr. Barone founded Performance Optician Software Inc. and brought it to his network of financial resources, which resulted into a junior venture company that had great interest from the public markets. In 2000, via an RTO on the Canadian Venture Exchange Performance OS Inc. became a publicly traded entity raising $1,400,000.00 in preliminary financing.

Mr. Ballio also served as the Vice President of North America’s 3rd largest optometric buying coalition (Vision West) of California with over 4900 Optometrists, billing over $60 million annually. He received his MBA in 2001 with a focus in E-Commerce.

Following nearly 12 months of strategic planning by company founder Chris Ingram and SmartCard Marketingn Inc. (PINKSHEETS:SMKG) President Bruce Ballio -- the group has unveiled a proprietary Prepaid Card whereby members join the "Go Green friends of the environment" campaign.
Founder/President Chris Ingram hopes that through their Prepaid Card, the organization will enroll 1 million members and contribute $1 million per month to non-profit organizations with Go Green initiatives and environmental causes.
The real advantage is through the participation of each enrollee, since $1 of the enrollment cost goes towards eliminating green house gas emission, smog pollution, and other environmental matters. "We want to build a consortium of individuals who are passionate about the environment through our campaign and yet offer the convenience of our Prepaid Card which contributes to that cause" says Chris Ingram.
Further, the company has adopted The Nature Conservancy as its primary recipient of its campaign contributions, a non-profit organization formed in 1951 with an initiative to plant 1 million trees around the world. Chris Ingram says "the campaign goal is to bring greater awareness to the current state of our environment, from melting ice glaciers, to oil spills...to carbon emission".
The Company's Prepaid Card has a Go Green theme with a beautiful design, for more information, visit www.gogreenmastercard.com or contact.
