SENSE Holdings Acquires Exclusive Sales, Marketing and Purchase Rights for Biometric Patent to Secure Vehicles

Secures Automobiles, Trucking, Marine, and Aviation Vehicles Using Biometrics

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 18 -- SENSE Holdings, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SEHO) (SENSE), a leading provider of biometrically secured authentication and identification systems, announced today that the company has acquired exclusive sales, marketing, and representation rights to a patent that allows "Keyless" access and operation of a motor vehicle using biometric identification. Sense Holdings has reached an agreement with the inventor to acquire all rights to the patent. This patent is especially valuable in the biometric keyless entry and security market. The biometric patent granted is used for an individual to access their vehicle and verify the identity of the driver before the vehicle is deemed operable by the vehicles on-board computer system. The patent also allows for the control of critical operation of the vehicle, such as ignition and transmission. The patented technology supports all vehicles such as autos, boats, planes, trucks, buses, etc.

The size and scope of the potential market is massive. In the U.S. alone last year, (2003) new car sales were just over 16 million. Sales in 2003 were down slightly from the previous year and the "Big 3" all lost market share. In contrast to the "Big 3," the luxury car market has continued to grow, and it seems that companies that offer greater comfort and convenience have flourished. In the U.S. alone, total vehicle theft was 8.2 billion dollars in 2003.

"This patented technology not only will significantly reduce automotive theft, but also allows the registered user the freedom to operate the vehicle without a key," stated Dore Perler, Chief Executive of SENSE Holdings, Inc.

"We at SENSE believe that a serious look at the recent trends in the automotive industry indicate that the luxury car manufacturers are moving towards some sort of keyless systems. Lexus, BMW and Mercedes are now offering the consumer a way to access and drive their vehicles without the use of a key; however, the user still must carry some form of a 'Keyfob,'" stated Andrew Goldrich, VP of Sales of Marketing for SENSE Holdings, Inc. "This 'Keyfob' still must be used when accessing and starting the vehicle. It is important to note that Lexus charges $1,000.00 for their 'Keyfob' and Mercedes charges $1,040," stated Mr. Goldrich.

SENSE believes that this invention will significantly reduce the losses incurred by insurance companies due to auto theft and has a true return on investment component. SENSE Holdings plans to market this technology for license in the automotive, marine, aviation, and transportation industries, as well as to the major insurance companies throughout the world. SENSE Holdings also plans to market the technology to the Dept of Homeland Security for access and operation for military and public sector transportation.
