Wednesday July 28, 9:16 am Eastern Time Company Press Release ConSyGen Receives First Major Counterfeit COP Order From Circle K Stores, a Division of Tosco Corp. TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 1999--ConSyGen (OTC BB: CSGI - news) Wednesday announced that it has received an agreement to provide its loss prevention product, the Counterfeit COP, to Tosco Corp.'s (NYSE: TOS - news) Retail Division, Circle K Stores. Tosco, with annual revenues of over $12 billion, is one of the largest independent oil refiners and marketers of petroleum products in the United States. The retail division is one of the nations largest operators of company-controlled convenience stores with a network of over 5,000 retail locations. Tosco recently conducted a test of the Counterfeit COP at one of its Circle K stores where approximately $2,000 per month in bad bills and travelers checks was passed on to the Circle K. Over the month long test period, Counterfeit COP reduced the amount of bad currency passed to zero losses. Lewis Burridge, ConSyGen's chief executive officer and president stated, ''ConSyGen will provide the Counterfeit COP to Tosco's Retail Division through a series of purchase orders with progressively increasing volumes. ''ConSyGen's Business/Consumer Products Group will initially provide trial quantities to regional operations and train Tosco personnel in product usage as a value-added service. The schedule of deployment is currently being developed and we anticipate an approximate value of $475,000 for Tosco's retail network.'' Burridge further added, ''Through recent restructuring efforts we have modified the business model for our Business/Consumer Products Group to incorporate major resellers and direct corporate marketing. ''Although in the beginning stages, the new business model is returning very satisfying results. ConSyGen has signed over two dozen domestic and international distributors as well as generating significant interest at the corporate account level. Tosco is the first of several major corporate accounts expected to close deals in the near future.'' ConSyGen's ''Counterfeit COP'' provides more protection, thoroughness, accuracy, and ease-of-use than any other unit or technique on the market today. Counterfeit COP verifies the authenticity of U.S. and foreign currency, credit cards, travelers checks, driver's licenses, immigration cards, U.S. passports, casino chips, U.S. government checks, event tickets, etc. To receive ConSyGen's press releases via email, please send an email request to: hktir-subscribe@egroups.com ConSyGen Inc. is a Phoenix-based company that provides Enterprise Computing Services for Y2K Remediation, Enterprise and Client/Server Professional Services, and Business Products for Loss Prevention.
