STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK
MB Tech is a global manufacturer and distributor of satellite components. The primary product MB Tech produces is "LNB" (Low-Noise Blockdown) converters, which are the essential element enabling DBS satellites to receive and convert satellite transmission signals. MB Tech currently serves the satellite television market, and is expanding to serve the satellite radio and military hardware sectors. MB Tech manufactures several proprietary LNB solutions that differentiate it from competitors. MB Tech's product line includes a dual-horn LNB which allows multiple set-top boxes to be connected to a single satellite dish, enabling viewing of multiple channels simultaneously on different television monitors, and a tri-horn LNB, which provides the ability to download signals from multiple satellites over a single dish.
TECHNOLOGY
MB Tech has improved on conventional designs and can manufacture units more efficiently and less expensively than the competition. MB Tech specializes in LNB electronics, it is the ONLY thing we do.
An LNB converter transforms the satellite transmission into a useable signal. MB Tech has developed a special new breed of LNB converter which allows the signal to feed separate televisions or other 'boxes' with different channels. The signal coming in from one dish can be distributed through MB Tech's 'dual and triple horned' LNB converter such that multiple channels can be viewed, or different channels and Internet access can be delivered.. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Other technological objectives have been to develop LNB for G.P.S. equipment, and small type two horn technology as well as UBC DSS type LNB. These objectives have been achieved and the Company is currently speaking with larger American based technology companies about the technology.

MDI: MERRILL LYNCH COMENTS ON AD TRENDS IN THE MEDIA SECTOR
Merrill Lynch surveyed newspapers, TV stations and radio stations to try to understand the divergent trends between local and national advertising in the current recovery. They noted that U.S. ad expenditures tend to keep pace with or slightly outperform the economy over time. As such, the rise of media outlets should not necessarily lead to higher ad spending but most likely to market share shifts among the mediums. The surveys showed that local cable is becoming a more competitive force, but overall, they found no major structural issues impacting the dynamics between local and national ad spending.
Merrill noted that national advertisers typically base their budgets on projected economic trends and therefore can afford to spend a bit ahead of a turn in the cycle. However, local advertisers, with more limited resources, are more likely to lag in spending coming out of a recovery as they need to see an immediate return on investment. They pointed out that a better economy should eliminate the differences.
The firm believes there are many positive themes occurring with newspapers today (e.g. collaborative selling efforts, product innovation, renewed focus on readership) that are being masked by the downturn in department store spending, which appears to be secular, and the cyclical issue of help wanted, which is finally turning positive.
>From a consumer perspective, they believe radio is a relatively protected medium. However, the industry remains beset with excess inventory, following unsustainable demand in the late 1990's. A reduction in spots and/or lower prices could limit near term growth, yet support long term growth, giving investors something to chase.
TV is about to enter the growth phase of its two year cycle, but its low growth, single revenue stream is likely the main target for local cable TV and should also be impacted by increased DVR penetration, which gives the firm little to get excited about.
