TTR's proposed core product, SoftGuard, is designed to be used by software programs. TTR's proposed core product, SoftGuard, is designed to be used by software developers for inclusion in their software packages sold to end-users. The current version of SoftGuard, although out of the development stage and ready for commercialization, has not yet been released. Since its inception, the company has been engaged primarily in product design and testing, and has not had any sales revenue to date.

| Competition |
| The software protection industry is extremely competitive. The company faces tough competition from companies that are more established, benefit from greater market recognition and have greater resources, financial an dotherwise, than the company. The company's primary comeptitors are Rainbow Technologies Inc. And Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd., whom the company believes to have the largest installed product base in the limited market that exists for software security products. Further, there can be no assurance that existing software companies will not enter the market in the future. Most of the software protection products distributed by each of these competirors utiliize a hardware device such as a dongle. Although the company believes that its proposed SoftGuard line of products will be favorably distinguishable from those of its competitors, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to penetrate any of its competitor's portion of the market. The company believes that its principal competitive advatnages will be its ability to offer a relatively inexpensive and effective software-protection solution that does not utilizie any hardware components such as a dongle, plug, key or similar device that is compatible with a wide variety of operating systems and platforms. |
