ABOUT PPOL
- ----------
PPOL, Inc. is a California-based holding company whose primary asset is AJOL of
Tokyo, Japan. AJOL actively promotes the interactions of the members of Acube,
an organization sponsored by AJOL, through conferences and speaking engagements
conducted by AJOL's President and CEO, Yoshihiro Aota. In addition, through
their own interactions, Acube members spread the word about MOJICO hardware and
drive growth of related services. Many members serve as MOJICO hardware
distributors of Acube and MOJICO hardware, and they develop membership
businesses featuring interaction and distribution of related products and
services among all members. Through the use of AJOL's MOJICO hardware, members
can network and communicate using hand-written Japanese characters, including
Kanji whose full meaning cannot be adequately communicated through the present
fonts of a computer. Members across Japan use the service to find other
subscribers and to establish interpersonal relationships, and access other
services such as insurance unique to Acube, mail order purchases, the handling
of partner-affiliated services, event planning, as well as products and services
offered under AJOL's Kamome brand. In April 2004 PPOL announced its new strategy
to grow the Company through the early stage identification of proven and
promising low-cost target U.S.- and European-developed technologies that it can
quickly introduce into Japan thereby creating a significant lead over
competitors. Via PPOL's network in Japan, software products can be localized and
sold with local support provided either by PPOL staff or its marketing partners.
