I-Media develops, operates and integrates technologies and network infrastructure to form a digital commerce EcoSystem that supports multiple forms of distribution for entertainment, media, and communications services over broadband. Endavo Media and Communications, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of I-Media, provides digital audio/video content and service delivery solutions via Internet and managed broadband networks.

Individuals interested in more information on the company can view the profile at http://www.market-pulse.com/imhiprofile.htm.
According to Bernard R. Schmitt, CEO of Market Pulse, "We are very excited to introduce Integrated Media Holdings to the investment community. I-Media has an aggressive growth strategy. I-Media is potentially positioning itself to quickly become a leader in the digital and media technology industries." Bernard Schmitt also noted that, "As digital information and communications technologies continue to evolve, goals formerly unattainable in the analog world are now within reach. Now, people can access all kinds of information and entertainment quickly, cheaply and reliably over the Internet and broadband networks. This little-known company could be the next discovered gem in this industry."
Endavo's initial content delivery products, launched commercially in late 2005, are called Enhance and EnGage. Enhance provides a cost effective method for owners of web-based communities or portals to keep their users coming back to their websites by pushing DVD-quality video content directly to the desktop of each user. The company targets the Enhance solution toward content owners who have an existing inventory of video content or programs that has a current audience, whether radio, web or television. Enhance enables a content owner to increase or strengthen their existing viewer or listener base by cost-effectively offering programs to any broadband connected user worldwide. Engage is the company's Broadband TV platform that allows content owners to deliver channels of video content directly to viewers who have installed a simple-to-use interface in their PC or Microsoft Media Center Edition PC. Once a viewer subscribes to an Engage-delivered service, offered through Media Center or specific web portals, programs for each channel are regularly delivered to the user in full screen, DVD quality for on-demand viewing.
Endavo recently announced that it has partnered with Latin-focused digital media company Ahora LLC to launch the first interactive service that delivers Latin music videos to registered users over broadband in full-screen, DVD quality to PCs, TVs, and mobile devices. The Companies, which first announced the venture last December, have officially unveiled this Latin music video destination called Ahora Musica. The new service will offer music videos by top artists from countries throughout Latin America, as well as worldwide Latin music producers. Ahora Musica will primarily serve the rapidly growing, U.S.-based Latin population, of which approximately 16.7 million are online and most with broadband connection.
Integrated Media Holdings, Inc. President and CEO, Paul Hamm, commented, "Ahora Musica exemplifies the relevance and future of providing consumers with high-quality, on-demand entertainment and information services over broadband. The Latin market is a very large and disbursed market in the U.S. that can be efficiently 'aggregated' by the Internet and broadband networks to receive the highest quality entertainment from their homelands and all over the Spanish speaking world. And, the aggregation of a large, disbursed audience with shared interests, along with our reporting capabilities, provides a compelling opportunity for targeted advertising. We're excited that we can help Ahora use broadband to make that vision a reality."
The Company's basic business model behind their products is to generate revenues by providing managed content delivery over the Internet and broadband networks. I-Media also produces revenues by providing technical support, d-commerce transaction processing and other specialized services to their customers, such as customization and integration to meet their specific requirements. As their core systems and framework are now in place, tested and operational on their network, they are able to quickly accelerate revenue growth and achieve increasing profit margins as their ongoing operations are predominantly software, storage and network driven.
In terms of marketing plans, Endavo will pursue content clients and broadband video projects in North American and Latin vertical content markets while a simultaneous push will be spearheaded by its business partne, Bidchaser, in India, the Middle East, and the Southeast Asian market. Bidchaser will also continue rolling out its e-commerce "storefront" business plan to expand the value of I-Media's distribution and customer management systems.
After the recent completion of their public capital and corporate restructuring, along with internal reorganization to focus their resources on new broadband video delivery products, I-Media is now positioned to build shareholder value through product launch, customer expansion, revenue growth and strategic acquisitions.
