OXFORD, Miss., Feb. 28, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Modern Technology Corp. (OTCBB:MOTG), a business development and acquisition company, announced today that its majority-owned portfolio company, Sound City, has been approved and authorized to carry Sony's (NYSE:SNE) Qualia line of television products. This new line of products continues the company's expansion efforts. The Qualia line is a state of the art, limited distribution television product line designed for Audio-Video Specialist Retailers, and is a valuable addition to the product line-up. Revenues from the Sound City operations and planned retail acquisitions are expected to generate in excess of $25 Million for 2005. This figure does not include revenues from MOTG's other planned acquisitions throughout 2005, expected to be in excess of $50 Million.
"Sound City is focused on rapid growth for 2005. The Qualia line furthers our efforts in expanding revenues and continues our focus on high-quality products and outstanding customer service. This new luxury line of television products is an important addition to the expansion efforts currently underway," said Kamel Yassin, President of Sound City. The Qualia product line is targeted to the high-end, luxury markets. Sound City's marketing and expansion plans are focused toward discerning customers and quality-oriented service. The addition of the Qualia line of luxury products continues Sound City's planned expansion and retail acquisition strategy bringing new consumer electronics stores under the Sound City model to gain market share from incumbent home entertainment retailers such as Circuit City (NYSE:CC) and Best Buy (NYSE:BBY).
MOTG continues to execute its strategy of growth through strategic acquisitions, market development and revenue expansion. The MOTG acquisition model seeks to consistently build market value while simultaneously mitigating, or eliminating, negative dilution of common stock. In addition to Sound City, MOTG recently added DeMarco Energy Systems (Other OTC:DMES) to its portfolio of companies, and will continue to announce additional acquisitions. MOTG recently completed a $3.5 Million funding transaction which included the acquisition of $1.5M in new debenture assets and the company plans to release details on its growth and revenue projections for 2005 and its plans for listing its Common Stock on a larger exchange in the future.
