NIVS IntelliMedia Technology Group Launches Hi-Fi Home Theater Systems


- Supported by Intensive Promotional Campaign -

HUIZHOU, China, April 15 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- NIVS IntelliMedia Technology Group, Inc., (NYSE Amex: NIV), a consumer electronics company that designs, manufactures and sells intelligent audio and visual products, today announced the launch of its new Hi-Fi speaker systems, Home Theater V6 and Home Theater V9, which are being supported by an intensive promotional campaign throughout China. With the concept of "Music can be touched," Home Theater V6 and V9 utilize NIVS' 2.1 Hi-Fi stereo system sound to achieve a surround sound effect that is comparable to the existing professional 5.1 Home Theater systems. The Home Theater systems have touch screens, are fully digitized and are compatible with personal computers, TVs, DVD players and other entertainment systems.

"We are excited to expand our product line with the launch of Home Theater V6 and V9," stated Mr. Tianfu Li, Chairman and CEO of NIVS. "Hi-Fi surround sound and remote wireless technology are predicted to be the leading technologies in the multi-media speaker products in China. In conjunction with our product launch, an intensive promotional campaign is underway, which we expect will not only drive demand for the Home Theater systems, but also further build NIVS' brand development and recognition in China. The Hi-Fi Home Theater systems are expected to contribute approximately $40 million to $60 million to our annual revenues, which was included in our previously provided guidance for 2009. Importantly, the Home Theater systems product line, coupled with the recently completed LCDTV manufacturing expansion, will also help to diversify our revenues."

To support the launch of Home Theater V6 and V9, NIVS initiated an intensive promotional campaign signing Yang Kun, a well-known Pop musician in China, as the product spokesperson. The Company plans to run 12 consecutive months of print advertisement in 5 audio and computer magazines, 5 well-received newspapers and 10 web-media and direct sales platforms. In addition, 15-second primetime television advertisements are scheduled to run 20 times a day on CCTV1, CCTV2 and CCTV3, which provide coverage of up to 98% of the Chinese population. Recent press conferences in Guangzhou and Beijing attracted over 130 reporters. A product demonstration road show and local distributor briefs are scheduled in April and May 2009 across 24 provinces in China.
