OCGT's unique technology, PrimeCareTM System, acquires medical information and data at the point of origin from the patient, physician, and/or staff and analyzes it in real time. NTHD's technology is a suite of healthcare-oriented analytical modules that can operate independently or as an integrated data warehouse with comprehensive decision support capabilities. The suite focuses on patient, provider, outcomes, diagnosis, treatment, and financial data. Three of NTHD's officers have marketed healthcare management and analytical software to the automobile industry and insurers, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield.


NTHD is also an information technology and productivity management company. It focuses its competence on behalf of organizations that want to improve productivity and business analytical capabilities by making their various software applications work together with maximum efficiency and output.


Through it's wholly-owned subsidiary, NetImpact, Inc., NTHD has a partnering Agreement with Vitria Technologies Inc., a leading integration server provider, to install and maintain Vitria's BusinessWare™ software. Vitria's BusinessWare™ integrates applications and automates mission-critical business processes within and across the extended enterprise, reducing time to market, shortening lead times, lowering operating costs, and increasing customer satisfaction. Vitria is a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: VITR) based in California. The company's Web site is www.vitria.com.


NTHD has just completed a first phase installation and integration of BusinessWareTM at a BP (British Petroleum) facility near Chicago. The installation has already improved the flow and management of the supply of refined products from BP refineries to their outlets. The U.S. General Services Administration has listed NTHD on the GSA's on-line, web-based purchase order system as a pre-approved vendor of middleware systems integration for the U.S. Government.


NTHD also is developing software, code named eWeasel, that will allow intelligent, secure, seamless access to remote computers (mainframes, legacy systems, and client servers) via the Internet. It will enable the user of the host computer to operate authorized remote computers as if they were his or her own and to run jobs on them regardless of hardware, platform, or command (JCL) operating language disparity.


OCGT and its wholly owned subsidiary, PrimeCare Systems, Inc. ("PSI") developed, own, maintain, update, expand and market the PrimeCareTM Patient Management System ("PrimeCareTM System") and three Internet sites that use various sections of the PrimeCareTM System: www.PrimeCareOnTheWeb.com, www.YourOwnDoctor.com and www.YourOwnHealth.com.


The PrimeCareTM System is an in-office client-server based, user friendly, unique patient-physician interactive system that creates an electronic medical record documenting the entire patient-physician encounter. It enables the physician to obtain the patient's detailed history of present illness ("HPI") including an alphabetical list of the diagnostic risk considerations with the patient's answers repeated that support each diagnostic consideration, without requiring any physician time and prior to seeing the patient. It also allows the physician to document the normal and abnormal physical findings, assessment, tests, treatment plan, medications prescribed and patient education handouts regarding disease management given to the patient. In addition, it automatically calculates, in real time, the proper E&M code level for Medicare and other third party reimbursement for the office visit.


The PrimeCareTM System contains an authoritative and comprehensive knowledge database of approximately 275 symptom and problem oriented patient HPI Questionnaires for the diagnostic and follow-up office visits and collectively, over 100,000 complaint and disease state questions, 1,600 diagnoses, 1,100 physician quick reference summaries and 1,500 patient education handouts. The Company has migrated the HPI Questionnaires for the diagnostic and follow-up office visits, physician reference and patient education material, CodeComplierTM for real time E&M code calculation and scheduler sections of the PrimeCareTM System to its Internet Products. The Company continues to migrate the entire PrimeCareTM System to the Internet. The Company plans to implement connectivity with hand held, wireless and satellite devices where appropriate and technically feasible.


PrimeCareOnTheWeb.com (www.primecareontheweb.com) is restricted to use by registered physicians. It enables physicians to obtain their patients' detailed HPI by having the staff select the appropriate Questionnaire and then have their patients securely complete, via the Internet, one or more HPI Questionnaires related to the patients' symptoms or problems.


YourOwnDoctor.com (www.yourowndoctor.com) is a Web community that provides individual web sites for registered physicians to promote the physician's practices and services offered, and provide a quick and convenient point of access for the physician's patients.


YourOwnHealth.com (www.yourownhealth.com) is a consumer health and wellness site that includes current medical news, medically reviewed reference materials, and more than 100 of PSI's most frequently used problem-specific medical questionnaires. It also features a personal health Notebook where consumers can securely store medical information about themselves.


OCGT is headquartered in New Rochelle, New York, and has a technical support office in Newport News, Virginia. NTHD is located in Temecula, California.
