UltimaTouch™ 1800 POS Touch Workstation Selected for Express Mart Convenience Stores

Rochester, NY - May 19, 2006 - Ultimate Technology Corporation, a leading provider of open system point-of-service (POS) hardware solutions and services, today announced that Express Mart Convenience Stores has selected the UltimaTouch� 1800 Series POS Touch Workstation for deployment in their convenience store and petroleum retail locations. Ultimate Technology will also be providing consultation and technical support services as part of the agreement.

Express Mart was interested in buying a complete solution from a single vendor who could deliver a comprehensive POS solution to improve their employee productivity and increase the availability of their POS systems. They selected a total solution from The Pinnacle Corporation, a strategic partner and reseller of Ultimate Technology�s products. Express Mart will run Pinnacle�s user-friendly Palm POS� convenience store software on Ultimate Technology�s UltimaTouch� 1800 Series workstation. The 1800 Series is an all-in-one POS system designed for hospitality and convenience retailers that require retail hardened equipment that can resist spills and withstand the 24 X 7 use that is typically experienced at convenience counters. The bright 15� resistive touch monitor reduces training time for store associates and simplifies customer transactions.

�We are very impressed with the design and durability of the UltimaTouch� 1800,� said Dann Twombly, CFO with Express Mart. �We believe the product is ideal for handling the demands typical in a 24 hour/day convenience store environment.� Express Mart is a regional convenience and petroleum retailer, with locations in the Northeastern United States. The POS system rollout began in December, 2005 and will be completed in the second quarter of 2006.

�Ultimate Technology is very pleased to bring our decades of POS expertise in the convenience store industry to the Express Mart stores,� said Eric Swecker, Director of Channel Sales with Ultimate Technology. �Express Mart recognizes the benefit from a combination of our ruggedly built hardware and our quality technical support services.�
