SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA--(BUSINESS WIRE) August 30, 2002 Ventures
    National-Incorporated d/b/a Titan General Holdings (OTCBB: VNTU [New
    Symbol September-TTGH]), announced today the acquisition of Titan EMS,
    Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is in the business of printed
    circuit board ("PCB") manufacturing with capability for expansion to
    include assembly and rigid flex.  Titan General Holdings is
    headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with its new principal
    manufacturing facility located in Fremont, California.

    The acquisition was effected through a newly-formed subsidiary of Titan
    General Holdings with Titan General Holdings issuing 6,780,490 shares of
    Common Stock to the stockholders of Titan EMS, representing
    approximately 79.9% of the shares issued and outstanding upon
    consummation of the merger.  Upon the effectiveness of the merger, the
    Company issued an additional 1,160,764 shares of Common Stock in
    satisfaction of $1,741,146 of indebtedness of Titan EMS and an
    additional 400,000 shares of Common Stock to certain consultants.  An
    additional 1,060,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance
    upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding immediately after the
    effectiveness of the merger.

      As a result of the merger, the executive officers of Titan General
    Holdings have resigned and, upon completion of certain filing
    requirements, the three directors of Titan General Holdings will resign
    as directors of the Company and David Marks, Louis George, Gregory
    Jacobs and Robert I. Weisberg, will comprise the entire Board of
    Directors of Titan General Holdings. Mr. George has been appointed
    President, Chief Executive Officer and Acting Treasurer and Mr. Marks,
    previously the sole director and officer of Titan EMS, will serve as
    Chairman of the Board.

    Titan EMS is a manufacturer of time sensitive, high tech, prototype, and
    pre-production printed circuit boards.  Beginning in the year 2001,
    Titan EMS and its predecessors began acquiring technology equipment and
    processes from competitors unable to remain in business due to a severe
    market downturn and overwhelming debt.  Titan also obtained customer
    lists and orders from several of these firms, resulting in potential new
    business opportunities. Titan has begun the process of relocating and
    upgrading its current PCB plant into a facility formerly occupied by
    Tyco Electronics Inc. in Fremont, California.
