More than 10 distribution partners had been signed up.  Yesterday, the company announced its latest distribution deal--perhaps the best, yet. (Release below). Further, as trade volumes rise, it is apparent that the market is beginning to recognize the small Montreal-based company's potential. We suggested last time that investors accumulate the shares in the low 80-cent range. Readers who heeded that direction have seen their shares increase to the $1.05 range in a couple of weeks--a return of 28 percent. We believe that there's more to come on the upside. While C-Chip has seen modest gains so far--although 28 percent isn't too shabby-- investors should begin or continue to accumulate the shares for the distribution and sales deals that we believe will be concluded over the next few weeks and months. The latest distribution announcement is very compelling. Minnesota-based Northland Auto Enterprises distributes and sells products to approximately 200,000 car dealers in the US. Multiply the number of dealers by the number of cars on the lots as well as incoming vehicle stock, and investors will quickly appreciate the scope, depth and revenue potential of this deal for C-Chip. Northland will distribute C-Chip's products under a private label arrangement. Product has already begun to ship from C-Chip to car dealers serviced by Northland. One of the greatest sources of theft in the Auto market is car theft directly from dealer lots. The quick location of stolen autos is key and courtesy of C-Chip's web-based tracking, financial losses from auto theft can be significantly mitigated. As we have noted before, the credit management solutions offered by C-Chip allow less than credit-worthy folks to own a car, which translates into more sales for dealers. The ability of the wireless, end-user transparent solutions to lower delinquencies and enforce payment means that the dealer or finance company risk is diminished. If an individual doesn't pay, the vehicle can either be disabled, or quickly located and repossessed. C-Chip's quarterly numbers will be out on or about May 14th. We expect, given the deals and growth that the company has experienced in the last few months, those factors will be well reflected in that release. From a company with a few nifty products a few months ago, C-Chip has secured a number of high profile and potentially lucrative distribution and sales deals. Those same products are obviously being discussed and considered by more auto, financial and insurance companies as not only useful, but critical. Insurance mandates all over the world are moving toward a C-Chip type of security and credit management solution to lower financial and underwriting risk. While the auto sector is important, investors should also not lose sight of C-Chip's other area of influence; the luxury goods market. As we noted on January 26th the company did a $15-$20 million deal with distributor CBM Group for inclusion of 120,000 wireless telemetry units--dubbed MP2--for the tracking and security of home appliances and entertainment units, including plasma screen TV's. C-Chip is not only commercializing its technology, but appears to be exceeding even its own expectations. As more distribution and sales deals are announced, we are confident that C-Chip is well on its way to becoming an influential force in the multi-billion dollar security/credit management solution sector.  Investors who see the potential now, we believe, will be well compensated over the medium and long-term for accumulating shares at this exciting--albeit early-- stage of the company's development.   PRESS RELEASE C-Chip Enters into a Sales and Distribution Agreement with Northland Auto Enterprises Wednesday May 5, 4:45 pm ET MONTREAL, May 5, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- C-Chip Technologies Corporation (OTC BB:CCHI.OB - News) is pleased to announce that it has concluded a marketing and distribution agreement with Northland Auto Enterprises, based in Minnesota. Northland's distribution network currently includes about 200,000 new and used car dealers across the United States. C-Chip has already made initial shipments to car dealers serviced by Northland. Stephane Solis, President & CEO, said: ``I'm delighted that an organization with the market weight and influence such as Northland has chosen C-Chip as their preferred supplier of wireless credit and security solutions. After years and millions invested to develop our technology, I'm very pleased to see that our credit and security management solutions that we have designed for the automotive market are attracting the interest of one of the most significant players in the industry in the United States.'' The agreement involves the nationwide distribution of C-Chip's complete line of products offering credit and security management solutions for the automotive and power sports vehicles industry. Northland will market C-Chip's products and services under its own private label. For C-Chip's credit management solution, Northland will market to dealers within the Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) community a basic yet effective solution offering complete remote control over vehicles using a simple web-based application. When the location of vehicles is required for either credit enforcement or security solutions, Northland will offer C-Chip's most sophisticated solution which includes 2-way wireless communication and GPS technology. Northland will also offer within its dealer's network C-Chip's anti-theft solutions for cars and power sports vehicles. Based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, C-Chip's anti-theft solutions are deemed most effective as they are totally passive for end-users. Al Lentsch, Northland's President, indicated: ``We expect C-Chip's solutions to be quite successful within our network of dealers. C-Chip's tools are not only very effective in reducing payment delinquencies, but are also quite efficient in diminishing significantly the theft of vehicles. We intend to initiate a major sales and marketing drive based on C-Chip's product offerings at the NABD convention to be held in Las Vegas beginning May 26.''
