Stronghold Technologies Announces Two Customer Contracts from Gordon Turner Motors

BASKING RIDGE, N.J.--Dec. 8, 2003--

DealerAdvance(TM) is Key for Turner Volvo to Receive Cash Back From Manufacturer for Selling Cars; Volvo Dealers Looking for Same Incentive Creates Growth Opportunity for Stronghold

Stronghold Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SGHT), the developer of DealerAdvance(TM), an enterprise software system using wireless technologies for the automotive retail industry, today announced the signing of two new customers in California, Turner Volvo and Turner Nissan. The dealerships are owned and operated by Gordon Turner Motors Inc. Stronghold now has 27 dealerships in California using DealerAdvance(TM) and continues to gain share in one of the largest automobile markets in the country.

"We believe our experience in California is indicative of the significant growth that is attainable from a developed region," said Christopher Carey, Chief Executive Officer of Stronghold. "California was the first market Stronghold penetrated, and we are very excited by the progress made in building the Carolinas and Florida into two regions with promising customer pipelines. As evidenced by our success in California, providing exceptional service to individual dealerships has led to multiple purchases by automobile owner groups, such as the case with Gordon Turner Motors."

Stronghold was introduced to the Turner organization earlier this year when Turner Volvo hired a new general manager who had used Stronghold's DealerAdvance(TM) at another California dealership. Turner Volvo and Turner Nissan wanted to elevate their performance. In addition to new management, the dealerships sought outside assistance to grow and improve their businesses. Executives for both Turner Nissan and Turner Volvo visited a Honda dealership in California using Stronghold. Shortly after leaving the dealership, the decision was made to install DealerAdvance(TM) at both Turner stores.

Turner Volvo and Turner Nissan, both of Sacramento, California, purchased the DealerAdvance(TM) system after the successful completion of a two-month performance period. The dealerships signed long-term contracts with Stronghold. System installation for each dealership was nearly identical, including networking, hardware and software for wireless and wired configurations, and a driver's license scanning station. Stronghold assisted Turner Volvo in its relocation to a recently built 22,000 square foot facility - nearly three times the size of the original site.

"I've been in the retail automotive business since 1969 and DealerAdvance(TM) is one of the best things I've seen," said Patrick Turner of Turner Volvo. "Stronghold's outcomes-oriented solution combines a consultative approach to working with its customers and proprietary technology that we view as the ultimate way for dealers to best manage their customer traffic, improve sales and follow-up processes, and increase management control and organizational efficiencies.

"Stronghold definitely played a role in improving our performance. Prior to Stronghold when we used other lead management systems, we were selling about 55 cars per month. With Stronghold as our partner, we are averaging nearly 85 new and used vehicle sales per month. We have set a goal at our new location of reaching 100 sales per month."

Turner Volvo's use of DealerAdvance(TM) and other dealer functions enables it to receive a cash incentive paid by Volvo to dealers using a qualified "Showroom Control System." For Volvo dealers in the U.S., using DealerAdvance(TM) means that the system may further pay for itself. These dealers have more reason than ever for becoming a Stronghold customer.

Gordon Turner Motors Inc. was founded in 1956.
