TECHNOLOGY SECTOR - TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH - PATENTS FILED Symbol: NMMG Market: OTC.BB Sector: L.E.D. TECHNOLOGY Barcharts Rate NMMG an 80% BUY - http://quotes.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sy= m=3DNMMG BREAKING NEWS in technology - New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: N= MMG) announces that it has officially filed its patents---with over 50 cla= ims---protecting its revolutionary technology, a breakthrough in (LED) arc= hitecture. The OnScreen=99 LED Display Architecture is a radical new type= of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to revolutioniz= e the 1.5 billion dollar LED display market. This breakthrough technology= will give NMMG great potential to capture significant market share in the= the 19 billion dollar outdoor advertising market. With all the new initiatives in Homeland Security and the Amber Alert, Int= elligent Message Signs (IMS) are the future, and with the recent signing o= f new laws and federally mandated funds in the billions of dollars, NMMG a= nd its patent-pending OnScreen technology is poised to lead the way. NMMG= currently has the only technology that allows it to build onto exisiting = infrastructure, i.e. road signs, billboards, etc. Imagine one day you are= driving home on the freeway past a road sign you have seen a thousand tim= es before--but this time you notice something different. This time you se= e a WARNING lit up--truck overturned 1 mile ahead--hazardous chemicals spi= lled. The sign advises you to exit immediately and to safety. Such a war= ning was broadcast instantly and using NMMG's OnScreen technology. You ne= ver noticed, as you drove by the roadside every day, that OnScreen was dra= ped over the sign all this time. Now it has sprung into action by the pun= ch of a button on a PC from a central station--instantly and just in the n= ick of time. You have just experienced OnScreen technology. And that is = just one example. The possibilities are limitless. And because OnScreen = can be applied to existing structures like road signs or billboards, its c= ost-effectiveness makes it far and away the technology choice. NMMG will unveil its breakthrough technology at the STRATEGIES IN LIGHT co= nference on February 2-4, 2004 at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel in San Mate= o, California. This unique event is considered to be the premier annual fo= rum for addressing commercial developments in high-brightness LEDs, as wel= l as an unparalleled networking opportunity for suppliers and users of the= se devices. The growing interest in, and expanding attendance at, this eve= nt, reflects the excitement associated with a market that has grown by 50= % since 2000, while other semiconductor and optical component industries h= ave stagnated or experienced large declines. ON-SCREEN=99 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 advant= ages as the High Brightness LED market is expected to grow from 1.2 billio= n dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006. In addition, according to Stanfor= d Resources, the LED sign market value alone is expected to exceed 1 billi= on by 2006. These projections are made based on existing technology and do= not take into account emerging technologies, such as OnScreen=99, that ca= n rapidly alter the size and shape of this market. 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.
