Overview
To facilitate an analysis of MSGI operating results, certain significant events should be considered.
NASA
In August 2009, the Company announced that it had executed two Space Act Agreements with NASA forming a partnership between MSGI and the Ames Research Center (ARC) located in Moffet Field, California. The purpose of this collaboration between MSGI and NASA is to commercialize various revolutionary technologies developed by NASA in the fields of nanotechnology and alternative energy. The Company's initial area of focus is to be on the use of chemical sensors or nano-sensing technology. These wired and wireless detection systems were first developed for space exploration in 2007 and 2008 for experiments carried out on the Space Shuttle Endeavor. The Company intends to form a number of majority owned subsidiaries, each of which will hold the rights to a specific technology and also serve as the vehicle for investment capital.
In August 2009, the Company announced that it had formed its first subsidiary for NASA based technology. This new subsidiary, named Nanobeak Inc., is a nanotechnology company focused on carbon based chemical sensing for gas and organic vapor detection - effectively electronic sniffing. NASA developed these Nano Chemical Sensors for space missions to increase scientific measurement capabilities with less mass and lower power requirements. The potential space and terrestrial applications include cabin air monitoring onboard the Space Shuttle, surveillance of global weather, forest fire monitoring, radiation detection, and various other mission critical capabilities. This technology was developed at the NASA Ames Research Center located in Moffet Field, California. The commercial applications of these Nano Chemical Sensors relate specifically to Homeland Security and Defense, Medical Diagnoses, Environmental Monitoring and Process Control. Nanobeak seeks to offer products in each of these sectors beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, but timing of these efforts cannot be assured.
In September 2009, the Company announced that it had formed its second subsidiary for NASA based technology. The subsidiary is named Andromeda Energy Inc. and it is a nanotechnology company focused on scalable alternative energy solutions that operate more efficiently, and therefore yield significantly lower electricity cost per watt than conventional energy sources. The Company is in receipt of several expressions of interest for partnerships in the planned deployment of this new technology from major corporations located in the People's Republic of China.
