LONDON — (Marketwire) — 07/15/11 — First Corporation (OTCBB: FSTC) announces an interim technology report from the IT team at Private Trading Systems confirms Gecko Landmarks Ltd. has developed specialized software enabling landmark acquisition. According to the report, Gecko has developed a software tool, AtLAS (Advanced Landmark Acquisition System), which enables the landmark acquisition process to be carried out reliably without having to visit the location. AtLAS, the key software asset of Gecko, was developed in-house, appears to be unique, and is the enabling tool for the rapid acquisition and production of quality landmark data.
Gecko also expects to offer Gecko SMS, an SMS editor which automatically adds landmark information to text messages. Currently at an advanced stage of development, Gecko SMS is a mobile phone proof-of-concept application that demonstrates landmark usage in a practical fashion.
The interim report provisionally concludes:
Gecko seemingly has the only worldwide landmark database that is fit for the purpose
The mammoth task of building an accurate landmark database for the world might be unachievable without Gecko-s AtLAS advanced landmark acquisition system enabling fast and accurate gathering of landmark data
Being the sole owner of AtLAS, Gecko restricts access creating a unique competitive advantage
First Corporation recently announced a Letter of Intent to acquire an initial 10% equity interest in Gecko. The Company commissioned the specialist IT department of PTS to report on Gecko-s software as part of the due diligence process. First Corporation management awaits finalization of the report from Private Trading Systems. With the gathering of additional due diligence information, the Company intends to conclude the transaction with Gecko as soon as possible thereafter, subject to regulatory requirements.
