STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: NMMG) specializes in cutting-ed= ge motion display advertising solutions. Their unique Advertising Display = Boards and LED Digital Displays offer up a dynamic and cost efficient way = to effectively market products and promote brand awareness. NMMG holds the exclusive United States and Canadian distribution rights to= the patented, "IllumiSign EyeCatcher=99" Advertising Display Board. Illum= iSign EyeCatcher=99, the exclusive marketing company for this product, has= launched an aggressive national marketing campaign, targeted not only at = advertisers, but business opportunity seekers as well. This advertising me= dium presents excellent benefits to advertisers and lucrative business opp= ortunities to franchisees and corporate sponsors, alike. IllumiSign EyeCat= cher=99 has an inventive, profit sharing program in place called "Partners= In Profit" (PIP), which is structured to provide revenue incentives for l= arger national corporations and venues to tap deeper into their market sha= re by allowing placement of the board in their high traffic and Point of S= ales areas. This program has the potential to generate millions of dollars= in additional annual revenue for qualifying corporate sponsors, while pro= viding the means for greater public exposure to the IllumiSign EyeCatcher=99= Advertising Boards. NMMG has partnered with E-Vision LED, Inc., a US based company whose affil= iates manufacture their state-of-the-art LED displays. This high technolog= y media is the only truly effective way, television aside, for advertisers= to display their products in true form. Their LED displays can operate an= y commercial format on any size board. This gives them a strong competitiv= e advantage with regard to flexibility and ease of control, since the imag= es are programmed and controlled right from their central office. ON-SCREEN=99 TECHNOLOGY The OnScreen=99 LED Display Architecture is a radical new type of Bright L= ED video display architecture that is expected to provide key design impro= vements in cost, weight and brightness of LED displays for such applicatio= ns as billboards, large outdoor venue video screens and outdoor video adve= rtising. Worldwide, the outdoor advertising market is approximately 19 bil= lion dollars, with the US representing 5.2 billion in 2001, according to t= he Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA). An increasing percen= tage of these expenditures are utilizing the technologies of motion displa= y advertising- such as the OnScreen=99 display technology. OnScreen=99 is expected to create a broad-range of products with much bett= er resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of display= s. OnScreen=99 will be visible in direct sunlight yet avoid many of the is= sues associated with current displays including sun-loading, wind-loading = and excessive weight. In addition, the new LED architecture produces an a= dvantage that is not available in today's marketplace: a more lightweight,= pliable display that can fit any application. These are important advantages as the High Brightness LED market is expect= ed to grow from 1.2 billion dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006. In addi= tion, according to Stanford Resources, the LED sign market value alone is = expected to exceed 1 billion by 2006. These projections are made based on = existing technology and do not take into account emerging technologies, su= ch as OnScreen=99, that can rapidly alter the size and shape of this marke= t. COMMERCIAL MARKET & STRATEGY NMMG's initial marketing strategy revolves around licensing intellectual p= roperty (IP) to worldwide manufacturers of LED display products and compon= ents. The LED sign market is projected to reach over 1 billion dollars by = 2006. Lumiled's projects that high brightness LED's, used in LED signs alo= ne, will exceed 1.2 billion by 2007. If these projections hold, the fully = manufactured signs would represent a $5 billion market. Whichever number i= s accurate, they both point towards a robust market for these new LED disp= lays. Many projections don't take into account emerging high growth applic= ations such as the Amber Alert project, Homeland Security and roadway =93i= ntelligent message transfer=94. THE MARKET An article in Media Post's Media Daily News in March of 2003 noted that th= e outdoor industry has successfully weathered the recession and that =93ou= r large members say they're having a great first quarter=94 in 2003. They = go on to note that technology is expected to transform both the display an= d measurement of outdoor advertising. According to Media Daily the most ex= citing news is coming on the display side, where =93Lamar Advertising is c= onverting their key boards to LED units whose messages can be changed at w= ill and sold in day-parts by the hour or even the minute.=94 They added th= at =93Clear Channel's backlit subway panels in stairwells are being conver= ted to LED as well=94. Together these companies represent two of the three= largest outdoor US advertisers. Recent Federal Government legislation has also placed a spotlight on expan= ding the =93Amber Alert=94 network nationwide. The highly publicized succe= ss in locating a number of kidnapped children shortly after their abductio= n in California has now triggered federal funding for U.S.-wide expansion = of these variable-message signs. Homeland Security issues have also incre= ased the number of early warning signs being planned and funded as part of= an overall information sharing network. Traffic safety is also becoming a= much higher priority in the U.S.. It is estimated that just over 60,000 r= oadway dynamic message signs are in operation in the United States. In Jap= an alone there are over 1.5 million of these signs. The United States repr= esents a huge growth market for LED displays. GROWTH OPPORTUNITES In addition to the outdoor television market, another interesting and exci= ting application for OnScreen=99 arrays is artistic lighting in dramatic c= urved and shaped displays in places like Las Vegas, New York City or reall= y virtually any venue. The tensile, flexible structure of OnScreen=99 prov= ides unlimited opportunity for creativity. The anticipated cost reductions of OnScreen=99 will also provide ample opp= ortunity for growth of the large-scale LED display market itself. OnScreen= =99's unique architecture opens the door for new applications such as curv= ed implementations, billboards on the sides of buildings where tenants can= still see out, and lower cost mobile applications on the sides of existin= g vehicles. Homeland Security, Amber Alert variable message signage and instant messag= e transfer applications can also benefit significantly from the advantages= of OnScreen=99. Reduced wind-loading and weight can significantly lower t= he cost of the superstructures required to support these signs and also re= duce the cost to install and maintain them.
