NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OCG Technology,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: OCGT - News) announced today that its wholly
owned subsidiary PrimeCare International, Inc., has been awarded a
subcontract from NetImpact Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NTHD - News) which
provides for OCGT's PrimeCare(TM) Version 9 software to be used as
an integral part of NetImpact's NetCare7.0(TM), a powerful and dynamic
healthcare information management and analysis system. NetImpact recently

Version 9 will be an integral part of NetCare7.0(TM), the heart of
the infrastructure system.

NetImpact commences phase two of their Mali program, our Version 9
will be imbedded within NetCare7.0(TM), creating a seamless application
of both programs. OCGT is very pleased to have the opportunity to
be part of the healthcare technology in Mali. We expect substantial
revenues and that OCGT will become profitable from the NetImpact/Mali
contract. Working on the NetImpact team allows us to be an integral
part of this huge humanitarian project. Our agreement with NetImpact
has enormous potential for OCGT. As part of NetCare 7.0(TM), PrimeCare(TM)
Version 9 can be used in countries throughout the world."
