Modern Technology Corp Issues Update on Harvey Tender Offer
Monday May 1, 1:47 pm ET


OXFORD, MS--(MARKET WIRE)--May 1, 2006 -- Modern Technology Corp (OTC BB:MOTG.OB - News), a diversified technology development and acquisition company, released today an update on its Tender Offer to acquire Harvey Electronics (NasdaqSC:HRVE - News).



On April 17th, 2006, Harvey Electronics released an announcement asserting our Tender Offer to be invalid due to certain 'deficiencies.' We disagree and maintain the commencement of a Tender Offer to be a valid commencement under applicable securities regulations.

On April 18th, Harvey Electronics released an announcement regarding a change of the Board and of a financing arrangement. This represents a significant material event requiring careful study.

Based on our assessment of their new financing arrangements and the surrounding agreements, we have decided to temporarily withdraw our Tender Offer.

Anthony Welch, Chairman, said: "We consider our present offer of $1.15 per share for Harveys as now too high in light of the new financing arrangements recently executed by them. We believe Harveys' new financing arrangements will likely be very dilutive to the Common Stock and the surrounding agreements to this financing to be burdensome to any potential positive free cash-flow Harveys may generate from its proposed expansion that would otherwise offset the dilution. Therefore, we do not believe Harveys will achieve a greater market capitalization under these circumstances and in fact believe the opposite. Furthermore, Harveys faces imminent delisting from NASDAQ to the OTCBB. The combination of these elements forces us to pause to re-assess Harveys' value after the stock underlying the financing has been fully registered and some time has passed. We may file a new Tender Offer after the market has fully priced in these new developments. Our goal is to build value for MOTG stockholders, and Harveys may yet prove to be a valuable addition to the MOTG portfolio in the future."
