Business Editors

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2004

Chimera Technology Corp. ("Chimera") (Pink Sheets: CNOC) (http://www.chimeratechnology.com) is pleased to announce it has secured an additional private placement equity financing in the amount of $1,000,000 subject to the completion of the regulatory filing. The million-dollar financing is the third-largest private placement announced by Chimera in less than two months. On Jan. 13, Chimera announced equity financing in the amount of $250,000, then announced $500,000 in private placement financing on Feb. 9, bringing the total amount of equity financing in 2004 to $1,750,000.

Financing Details

The financing was completed at current market prices, less applicable discounts and subject to hold periods prescribed by securities regulations. Furthermore, in keeping with the last private placement, investors will be pleased to know the financing involves the purchase of restricted common stock of Chimera that includes a minimum one-year hold period and restrictions as to maximum dispositions per quarter thereafter.

Use of Proceeds -- Explosive Growth in Chimera Operations and Online Gambling

In addition to announcing the signing of two new licensees in 2004, Chimera has also recently announced several large initiatives to capitalize on the exponential growth of global online gambling. Proceeds from financing will be used to develop and deploy these initiatives as soon as possible. Those initiatives include:

March 4, 2004 -- Chimera to Launch Full Platform of Pari-Mutuel Thoroughbred Wagering

Chimera announced the addition of a comprehensive platform to host pari-mutuel thoroughbred horse race wagering. The platform is scheduled for launch in the next 60 days and will provide a powerful complement to the company's world-class sports book wagering platform and soon-to-be-launched casino games platform. The global pari-mutuel "handle" (total amount wagered) is estimated at $150 billion.

March 2, 2004 -- Chimera to Launch Full Suite of Casino Gaming Platform

Chimera announced the addition of a casino games platform to complement the company's world-class sports book wagering platform and soon-to-be-launched pari-mutuel thoroughbred wagering platform. The casino games platform is scheduled for launch in the next 60 days and will include blackjack, roulette, craps, pai gow and slots, among others. As a result of Britain's Gambling Bill expected to pass into law later in 2004, making it easier for companies to run online casinos from the United Kingdom, global online gambling revenues are expected to increase sixfold in the coming years from its current estimates of $7.5-$10 billion.

Feb. 24, 2004 -- Chimera Sets Sights on Asian Online Gambling Market with Proposed Hong Kong Office

Chimera announced the commencement of discussions with a Hong Kong-based consulting firm for the purposes of targeting the highly lucrative and rapidly expanding Asian online gambling market. The decision to target the Asian online gambling market is based on unequivocal company market research that includes the following:

-- China is second only to the United States in terms of the

number of Internet users and is expected to become the biggest

market in the next four years, according to a study by the

Internet Society of China.

-- According to IDC, by 2006, China will make up 53.1 percent of

Asia's Internet users, 51.2 percent Internet buyers and 48.6

percent of e-commerce.

-- Gambling and entertainment research firm Christiansen Capital

Advisors estimates the number of Asian online gamblers will

grow from 4 million in 2003 to 7.4 million by 2006.

Chimera President Ken Chua stated, "Today's massive financing should serve as unequivocal third-party validation of our business plan and management's ability to execute it for the benefit of all Chimera shareholders. New licensees, new platforms, proposed new offices on other continents and $1,750,000 in financing -- all before the third week of March. Whereas most companies in this space can only hope for such success during their lifetime, Chimera is announcing them at a break-neck pace. Private placement investors are putting their money and trust into strong expectations of Chimera's success for many years to come, and that is evident by the fact that this private placement provides for restricted stock, no disposition until March 2005 and capped dispositions thereafter. Clearly, our investors intend to stay with Chimera for many years to come and management will ensure we are worthy of that privilege."
