ROANOKE, Texas -- (Business Wire) -- March 3, 2004
REVA, Inc. (OTCBB:RVIA) announced today that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire Multimedia Technology Group (MMITG), a Texas-based company specializing in video and audio compression solutions. REVA, Inc. is a publicly traded company trading on the OTC Bulletin Board with the symbol RVIA. Based upon preliminary negotiations, REVA intends to acquire MMITG for cash, restricted stock and other considerations. Pursuant to the letter of intent, MMITG would become a technical division of REVA, Inc., to develop and manufacture a continuing stream of products to attempt to enhance the offerings of its wireless Internet services. MMITG specializes in wavelet image compression, progressive tunneling, non-uniform compression, and Lightning Strike Binary Compression. MMITG would be relocated to REVA's corporate headquarters in Roanoke, Texas. With its proprietary wavelet compression system and its Lightening Strike software, MMITG solves the issue of massive bandwidth consumption by streaming 300:1 compressed video at 18 - 24 frames per second. This would enable REVA to offer video-on-demand products to its current wireless customer base. In addition, MMITG has developed the Digital Video Recorder (DVR), an observational digital recorder that combines the newest technologies to provide the latest in video storage, quality and images per second. This unit would be used primarily with REVA's existing core technologies for home and business security systems and home health monitoring systems to be offered through REVA's wireless infrastructure. REVA began shifting its focus to the wireless Internet market in 2003, with its intended acquisition of BOLD Communications and subsequent acquisition of Regional Wireless Networks. "With this acquisition we continue to fulfill the technology objectives that will build our revenue base," commented James E. Ontiveros, CEO and President of REVA, Inc. "MMITG would complete our technology portfolio and provide us a unique marketing position to appeal to customer needs and provide solutions not currently offered by our competitors." Paul Fisher, Ph.D., is owner and founder of MMITG. Dr. Fisher, recently named CTO for REVA, is author of four books on compression technology and winner of the R.J. Reynolds Distinguished Professor of Computer Science Award at Winston-Salem University, where he is currently on staff. Dr. Fisher has produced over sixty publications on wavelet and compression technologies. Dr. Fisher works with an international research staff and brings these scientists into the REVA fold. Staff members include Ming Wei, Ph.D., working with Lightning Strike technology and Hong Yang Chao, Ph.D., specializing in wavelet technology and new product implementation. This transaction is subject to:
1. Completion of a definitive agreement and final terms.
2. Financing being arranged totaling approximately $100,000.
3. Audits of MMITG
4. Non-compete and employment agreements
5. Patents/technology due diligence.
