The aggregate purchase price of the Membership Interest is approximately $26,000,000, of which $9,000,000 is payable in cash at the closing of the Sale and the remaining $17,000,000 is payable in 36 equal monthly instalments of $472,222.22, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and evidenced by a subordinated promissory note that will be issued pursuant to a Cash Subordinated Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement"), which is attached as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides the Company with an increased interest rate in the event of late payments by the Purchaser and with the remedy of liquidation in the event of a default. In addition, the Company received approximately $250,000 from the Purchaser upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement in full satisfaction of amounts owed to the Company for providing certain services to the Purchaser. The Purchase Agreement further provides for mutual indemnification by the Purchaser and Seller and the exchange of mutual releases among the parties thereto. The Company\\'s Board of Directors has approved the Sale. In addition, the members of the Board and their affiliates who own in the aggregate shares of capital stock representing more than a majority of ATG's voting power have indicated their intention to execute a written consent of stockholders approving the sale. However, the Sale will not become effective until the filing of a definitive information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and at least 20 calendar days following the date of mailing of such definitive information statement to the Company's stockholders.

The terms and information in the Purchase Agreement should not be relied on as factual disclosure about ATG without consideration of the periodic and current reports and other statements that ATG files with the SEC. The terms of the Purchase Agreement govern the contractual rights and relationships, and allocate risks, among the parties thereto in relation to the acquisition. In particular, the representations and warranties made by the parties to each other in the Purchase Agreement have been negotiated among the parties with the principal purpose of setting forth their respective rights with respect to their obligations to each other, rather than for the purpose of establishing matters as facts, and they may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.

December 5, 200612/05/2006 NEW YORK, December 05, 2006- Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. (ATG) (trading symbol: AVGG) today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of Dialog International, Inc. (Dialog), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Fort Lee, NJ. Dialog owns, or by the Closing Date shall own, not less than FIFTY-ONE (51%) PER CENT of the issued and outstanding capital stock of OAO Star Galaxy, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Russian Federation, which, through an intermediary holding company owns ZAO Aires, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Russian Federation, which operates a number of entertainment centers in Russia known as the Star Galaxy Project. The Star Galaxy Project ultimately plans to develop a chain of indoor family entertainment centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities in Russia and the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries.
The Star Galaxy centers are intended principally for children from 4 to 12 years of age with facilities to accommodate their parents and teenage siblings. The Star Galaxy centers feature a wide selection of indoor rides and attractions, manufactured by leading American and European companies, arcades with video and redemption games, birthday party room, fast-food courts, souvenir and prize redemption centers and other related facilities. The specific mix of attractions depends upon the size and location of the particular center. Currently there are 13 centers operating in and around Moscow and St. Petersburg with a number of additional centers in the planning stages. The acquisition of Dialog is subject to a number of conditions that are specified in the Letter of Intent including, but not limited to, execution of a formal acquisition agreement incorporating the terms and conditions stated in the Letter of Intent; delivery of audited financial statements of Dialog; and completion of ATG's due diligence investigation of Dialog and the operations of ZAO Aires. Assuming that all conditions are complied with, at the closing the capital stock of Dialog will be exchanged for shares of ATG's common stock based upon a formula set forth in the Letter of Intent. Based upon the preliminary financial information provided by Dialog, under this formula the number of ATG’s shares to be issued to the Dialog Shareholders would equal more than 70% of the total issued and outstanding shares of ATG following this acquisition and would result in a change of control. Further, the Letter of Intent provides that the number of ATG shares issueable to the Dialog shareholders will be adjusted after a 2-year period based upon a formula set forth in the Letter of Intent. The purpose of this adjustment is to allow both ATG and Dialog to implement their existing operating plans and to adjust the number of shares issueable to the Dialog shareholders in order to properly reflect the respective contribution of both operations to the overall combined operations of the Company following this acquisition.

News Just In: "A Civil Complaint against ATG dismissed with prejudice"...11/15/2006 A certain individual that promised (but never delivered) to provide Software Programming services to the Company's predecessor back in 1997, for a number of years has claimed that ATG and its Officers and Directors treated him wrongfully. He has spent several years trying to find a judge who agreed with him. On November 14 the United States Court for the Southern District once and for all put an end to unjustified attacks on ATG.
"A U.S. Federal Judge, Honorable Denny Chin, in a 12 page decision dismissed each and every one of the plaintiffs 22 outrageous claims against us, "with prejudice". This means that this individual can never again harass us with his ludicrous claims", said Alex Stelmak, CEO. We were represented by the Law Offices of Jonathan D. Bachrach, P. C., here in Manhattan.

To the Shareholders of Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd:07/18/2005 NEW YORK, July 18, 2005- Dear Shareholder, In late 2004 ATG entered into negotiations for the purpose of a corporate merger with an overseas technology conglomerate. As a result of those negotiations, ATG was required to suspend its efforts in connection with its then pending 15c2-11 Filing with the NASD.
During the period of complex and wide-ranging talks, a number of unforeseen, complicated issues came into light. Those issues became very time consuming and rather costly to resolve at the time. In light of these difficulties, management of ATG elected to abandon merger negotiations and sought to resume its efforts to obtain permission from NASD for the listing and trading of its securities. However, under NASD rigid timing rules and due to the delay (over 180 days) that resulted from the merger discussions, the NASD deemed ATG's application stopped and closed its file. Nevertheless, the Management of ATG is pleased to report that working with the sponsoring brokerage firm, the NASD has re-opened ATG's 15c2-11 Application in May, 2005. The Company's legal council has already prepared and submitted a response to the fist set of comments from the NASD and has taken steps to prepare to respond quickly to the next NASD comments, when received. We believe that this will significantly expedite the review process. Although it is not possible to predict accurately, we are confident in a speedy review and completion of 15c2-11 process that will result in assignment of trading symbols for ATG's common stock. We shall continue to keep you informed of all the latest developments. Management Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd.

To the Shareholders of Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd:06/08/2004 Dear Shareholder,
The Management and the entire Staff of Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. are very pleased to announce that the Company has filed with the NASD the Form 211. This procedure is based on the SEC Rule 15c2-11. The application has been accepted and we are now in the review stage of the filing process. Once successfully completed, this process will result in issuance of Trading Symbols for the purpose of trading our Common Stock on the public market. Currently the NASD'S application and review procedures are more extensive than ever before and require a number of comments by NASD Staff to be answered by the Company's legal and accounting departments. Although we can not predict how long this process will take, we are doing everything necessary to be in full compliance with Regulators in as fast a pace as possible. In the meantime, we are currently in negotiations with viable Market Makers and Investment Bankers in the US and in Europe in order to give our Company and our upcoming Public Offering an even greater exposure worldwide. Furthermore, Management and the Board of Advisors are formulating plans to conduct a Public Offering of the Company's Preferred Stock in the near future.

Track Data Adds Trading of Foreign Currencies05/19/2004 Business Wire
Track Data Adds Trading of Foreign Currencies NEW YORK, May 19, 2004- Track Data Corporation (TRAC) today announced that trading in foreign currencies is available through its retail and institutional trading platforms. The foreign currency accounts and clearing will be handled by FXDirect Dealer (a joint venture with software provider Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd.), a division of Tradition Company, a New York-based firm with over 40 years of experience in the foreign currency markets. One of the advantages of trading foreign currencies (Forex) through Track Data Securities is that Forex trading has been fully integrated into existing trading platforms. In addition, there are no commissions for Forex trading. The key to offering foreign currency trading is to partner with a firm like FXDirectDealer that can offer the most competitive spreads, said Marty Kaye, Track Data COO. In the past, retail customers had always been shut out of the best tiers of pricing, but the Forex market has really changed. Further, one of the unique aspects of our offering is the use of our ECN technology to accept limit orders between the spread. Many of Track Data's retail customers come from a background of trading equities, said Ted Muller, FXDirectDealer Managing Director, Institutional Trading and Sales. For those who choose to add Forex trading to their repertoire, I think they will be pleasantly surprised by the leverage available and the diversification they can get for their portfolios. Also, Forex provides a 24- hour market for traders.

FXDirectDealer, A Tradition Group Company, Launches Trading Demo and Website09/24/2002 FXDirectDealer, A Tradition Group Company, Launches Trading Demo and Website
NEW YORK, September 24, 2002 - FXDirectDealer, a company of Tradition Group, today launched its Website (www.fxdd.com) and a free trading demo of its online foreign exchange trading platform, the company announced. The production version of FXDirectDealer is anticipated in early 2003. Until now, Tradition has focused exclusively on the institutional client base for brokerage operations, Ted Muller, CEO of FXDirectDealer said. However, we currently recognize a tremendous opportunity to tap an under-supported and under-traded market on the retail level. With the uncertainties of the stock market, the increased need to diversify, and the globalization of the world's economies, foreign exchange as part of a diversified portfolio merits consideration by the individual investor. The key, he added, having a reputable firm to deal with. FXDirectDealer is that firm. Drawing on Tradition's brokerage expertise, history and economies, FXDirectDealer will bring retail foreign exchange to a new level. The Tradition name is well respected within the professional financial community, Greg Michalowski, Director of Strategic Planning and Sales, said. 40-year corporate history of financial innovation includes a tradition of impeccable customer service, he added. We intend to bring that same innovation and service to FXDirectDealer while giving customers comfort based on our corporate diversification, expertise and above all, liquidity. The company's free demonstration and soft launch is designed to introduce the FXDirectDealer name and product to a new marketplace. Built-in features of FXDirectDealer include a unique graphical margin monitor that shows customers the margin level in their accounts in real-time. The same screen allows a customer to view total value of the account, daily and monthly trades, unrealized profits and losses, and trading power still available. The production version of FXDirectDealer will also have an electronic conversation capability that a client can use to contact FXDirectDealer. The system will initially support real-time trading in five major currencies --the Euro, US Dollars, the Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling and Swiss Francs and the major crosses. We have gone to great lengths to design the application with state-of-the-art technology that easily allows on-the-fly updates, Stan Mashov, CTO and Project Coordinator for FXDD, said. This gives us the opportunity to transition our product seamlessly from a robust demo to a battle-tested production version that reflects customers preferences. To download the application, go to www.fxdd.com and followe the instructions for the free demo. For a CD version, contact FXDD at 212-791-6810 or via email at sales@fxdd.com.

Acquisition of Luxury Lounge Announcement11/01/2001 NEW YORK, November 1, 2001- Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. ("ATG") is pleased to announce that effective November 1, 2001 it has completed the acquisition of 100% of Luxury Lounge, Inc. ("Luxury") and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, PromotionStat, Inc. and Promot4Free, Inc. This acquisition was completed by means of a share exchange whereby ATG acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Luxury in exchange for 8,000,000 newly issued ATG shares of common stock. Management of ATG believes that the next-generation technologies developed by Luxury through its wholly owned subsidiaries have great commercial promise in the expanding area of E-Commerce. A brief description of these technologies is set forth below.
PromotionStat and Promote4Free are two Internet service companies, wholly owned subsidiaries of Luxury, that have developed a unique, patent-pending technology aimed at assisting E-Businesses by helping them to become profitable. The PromotionStat technology is a powerful statistical and analytical traffic-monitoring tool designed to help marketing executives monitor the effectiveness of every dollar spent on advertising and promotions as well as utilize a free promotional tool at a favorable exchange ratio. The PromotionStat system is unique in that it tracks visitors' pre and post click activities while identifying which visitors came from which advertisements or links. With PromotionStat's Internet Advertising Rating System, a web site will be able to identify and rate their advertising sources and find out which ads are successful. In essence PromotionStat is capable of reporting and separating visitors from different advertising vehicles and tracking their behavior once they get there. This type of analysis will allow companies to allocate their advertising budget appropriately and prevent them from spending money on ads that are costly and inefficient. PromotionStat allows businesses to determine the "targetability" of visitors to their web site and produces a report that will indicate the amount of visitors received from a specific ad and determine how many of those visitors leave after the first page versus how many of them stay to browse other internal pages, indicating an interest in a specific product or category. In addition to finding visitors with high "targetability", the PromotionStat technology is able to record and analyze detailed information regarding visitors. PromotionStat also has a built in mechanism that can detect artificially inflated traffic, which is unfortunately a common practice on the Internet as web sites are paying "per click". This is intended to help web owners eliminate dishonest promoters that employ such tactics. PromotionStat works in conjunction with a free promotional service called Promote4Free, which will allow companies to decrease their advertising spending and increase market presence simultaneously.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with SeventhCAI, Inc.02/07/2001 NEW YORK, February 7, 2001- We are pleased to announce that on January 17, 2001 Oxford Global Network, Ltd. has signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with SeventhCAI, Inc., a Publicly held Corporation. Pursuant to this Agreement our shareholders will receive one new share for each share they presently own (the "Exchange Shares"). In connection with the exchange of shares, the majority shareholders of SeventhCAI, Inc. have agreed to cancel 4.612,895 shares of common stock. As a result, the present shareholders of Oxford will own 95% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the new Company.
SeventhCAI, Inc. has no business operations and, although it is a Reporting Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, its securities have never been trading in the public markets. Following the planned Registration discussed below, the Company will apply for a trading symbol. Although it is difficult to predict the amount of time this process will require, we expect to have a trading market established by mid-year 2001. On January 17, 2001 SeventhCAI, Inc. filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. At the same time, its sole officer and director resigned and the current Board of Directors of Oxford was elected until the next annual meeting of the Company's shareholders. In recognition of the completion of Oxford's development of its proprietary FOREX trading technology, Oxford Global Network, Ltd. is changing its name to FX3000, Inc. Complete details of this Agreement can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Report, including a copy of the Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit, can be accessed on the SEC web-site via the EDGAR database. Following the completion of certain preliminary legal and related business matters in connection with the merger with SeventhCAI, Inc., the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement to register the Exchange Shares pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This means that when the Registration process is completed, the new shares you will receive will be freely tradable in the public market. We have already begun negotiations with various Investment Banking firms as well as members of the financial community regarding both our financial needs over the coming year and to develop interest in our company in the public market arena. The interest in our Company and our new technology has been substantial and we are confident that by the time our registration process is completed we will have the market support necessary to develop a trading market for the Company's shares. On the business front we are pleased to report that we have completed and tested a third generation of our FOREX trading system. The latest version is even faster and more user friendly than the previous one. Early indications from individual as well as corporate users of our trading technology have been very favorable and negotiations are ongoing with a number of major domestic and international FOREX companies for licensing rights. On January 28, 2001 we signed a significant Licensing Agreement with Son & Company (an established multi-million dollar South Korean based FOREX Trading firm) for the use of our Internet Trading Platform in the Republic of South Korea. We believe that the recent deregulation of the Korean FOREX market will greatly add to our technology appeal by providing an alternative to inter-bank exchange rates and an availability to receive real time trading and analyst tools. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire Management team, we would like to share our excitement about these developments and wish to convey our sincere thanks to you, our shareholders, for the confidence you have shown in our Company from it's inception. Management Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd.
