Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. announced today that they've finalized a financial transaction through Golden Gate Investors Inc.

Further details of the initial debenture include a payment of cash by GGII to TTE of $100,000 upon closing and the delivery by GGII to TTE of a $900,000 Secured Promissory Note. The Purchase Agreement provides GGII with the right to lend, over four additional and separate debenture transactions, an additional $4 million of funding to TTE.

"Golden Gate is the type of Professional Corporation that understands the financial requirements necessary to achieve the goals of a developing technology company," stated Mr. Michael Rouse, CEO of Turbine Truck Engines, Inc.
