Investco, Inc. Agrees To Modify Letter of Intent.

Business Editors

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 7, 2002

Investco, Inc. (OTCBB:IVSO) (formerly Intraco Systems, Inc., (OTCBB:INSY)), a provider of voice recognition technology, financial guarantees and other various financial services, announced today that it has completed

its negotiations with Capitales Tres De America, S.A. to amend the Letter of Intent, signed January 29, 2002, from $50 million to $100 million. The agreement now states that Investco will acquire 100% of Mercury Surety and Insurance Company, Ltd., for promissory notes and restricted stock of Investco, for a total of $100 million (USD).

Joseph Lents, CEO of Investco, stated, "We have successfully renegotiated the agreement for the acquisition of Mercury Surety and Insurance company from $50 million to $100 million. Mercury originally had $250 million in certificates of deposit on its audited balance sheet and we only needed $50 million. However, over the past two weeks, we have received requests for asset guarantees/collateral enhancements totaling over $65 million. With such a large demand for our services, we felt it would be far more prudent to go ahead and do a larger transaction so we can issue more guarantees, thereby allowing Investco to at least double its projected revenue for FY 2002. We were 95% completed with the original contract several weeks ago, so to modify and complete the agreement should take no more than 3-5 business days."

Mr. Lents went on to state, "If the demand continues to grow as we expect, Investco plans on adding additional assets each quarter until we have approximately $500 million in liquid assets in which to use for our asset guarantee program. In addition, now that we have a significant asset and equity base and will exceed the minimum listing requirements, we anticipate submitting our application for one of the three major stock exchanges."
