Michael Jackson Fan Club First to Use OTI, P-Card and Mega-Access Smart Card Solution
Initial Order Surpasses US$1 Million

ROSH PINA, ISRAEL and FRANKFURT, GERMANY (ots)

OTI (Neuer Markt:
 OT5), P-Card System and Mega-Access today announced the launch of
the Michael Jackson Fan Card, the first card in a series of cards
based on OTI, P-Card and Mega-Access's smart card solution for
identification, payment and loyalty.  OTI, a global provider of
microprocessor-based contactless smart card technology and product
solutions, P-Card System, a provider of smart card-based payment
systems and 
   Mega-Access, a provider of on-line identification, loyalty and
ticketing solutions, will deliver the first shipment of 250,000 cards
from the end of July.
Members of the Michael Jackson Fan Club, run by MJ Entertainment
AG, can order the contactless multi-application smart card, which
also serves as the club's membership card, from the official website.
With the ability to download new applications to the card from the
website as they become available, cardholders will be able to use the
card for shopping and loyalty programs both online and in retail
stores.
"P-Card Systems is proud to announce the fan club for a worldwide
celebrity - Michael Jackson - as the first customer to launch our
flexible payment solution," said Angelika Wegner of P-Card. "Our
program offers the highest level of security and flexibility for our
customers.  We expect to make new announcements in the near future
regarding new participants in the program."
"I am happy we could win a well-recognized name like Michael
Jackson to prove that our concept to bridge the gap from the virtual
to the real world will fill in the missing link in e-commerce today"
said Klaus Landefeld of Mega-Access. "The MJ Card will show that by
using a combination of both worlds every aspect, from flexibility to
cost, will be taken care of."
"The combined P-Card and Mega-Access solution is a perfect concept
for our technology," said Oded Bashan, Chairman, President & CEO of
OTI.  "This is yet another example of our strategy of providing a
platform for initial applications with the capability to add
additional functionality over time in an economical way."
The partnership brings together OTI's patented contactless smart
card solutions, P-Card's patented system of marketing programs for
its issuer and acquirer base and Mega-Access's unique on-line
capabilities in identification, application and accounting services.
Each issuer can customize its own multi-application smart card from a
selection of identification, payment and loyalty applications, and
then issue their own branded cards to its venue customers.  OTI,
P-Card and Mega-Access began their collaboration earlier this year,
and have been developing their joint solution since that time. In
addition to revenues received from product sales, OTI will earn
ongoing revenues by participating in the success of the programs
through transaction fees and revenues from technical support.
