September 5 - SBD International, Inc. To Build Thin Film Solar Cell (PV) Manufacturing Facility

Management of SBD International, Inc. (OTCBB: SBDL) has announced it is planning to build a thin film solar panel plant in Florida to serve the Caribbean and South American markets.

CEO C. Michael Nurse stated, "We have signed a Letter Of Intent with TGI/Solar Power Gr (TSPG) (www.tgisolargroup.com/thin-film.html) to be a licensee of their thin film solar panel product and to have TGI Solar 18 be the supplier for an 18 MW capacity plant in Florida. This will enable us to be vertically integrated as a manufacturer and installer of solar panels and related products."

The plant, when completed in about 18 months, will employ over 200 skilled workers and will be located in Palm Beach County. It is expected that the plant will be partially funded by a bond issue. Bond Counsel or Bond Underwriters have not yet been selected.

Solar 18 thin film panels function in low light conditions, and can generate more energy than other technologies about 10-15% at the same capacity. The panels are encapsulated with EVA and have 100% protection from moisture.

Many States offer tax incentives or refunds for use of solar panels on residences or business. Florida offers up to $20,000 per residential use and up to 100,000 for commercial use.

SBD has identified a number of markets in the Caribbean and South America and the Caribbean which can support small solar facilities up to 5 MW or WTE facilities, and in the next few months management will be meeting with the local power authorities to discuss purchasing agreements for the power generating facilities.

MONARC CORPORATION (OTC: MONA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) "Up 100.00% on Friday"

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/MONA.php

Monarc Corporation was formed in 2000. The company acquired multiple subprime short term lending companies for the B2C marketplace doing business under the brand name "Cash Now" in 2003. The company also had an array of other financial products such as IFGX and Cash Next under development for the B2B marketplace; such as invoice discounting and factoring. In 2005 the company suffered a setback with 4 consecutive strikes of hurricanes of 2005 while domiciled in Florida. Unable to operate on a day to day basis without interruptions, the company was delisted from being am SEC reporting issuer soon after and consequently its stock was re-ranked as an unsolicited stock and 2006 was a reconstructing year. The company used the time out to raise capital with the issuance of preferred convertible shares. Soon after, in January 2007, it resumed operations. With the sweeping changes in the subprime industry and with most of the States and Provinces restricting this product use the company looked at different industries. In 2007, it launched a Check 21 product and a Forex division and looked towards China as a growth market. In late 2007 MONA sold these aforementioned operating assets to a China-based company and the proceeds of that sale were distributed to its shareholders. In early 2008, MONA looked for another growth industry and decided to enter beverage control. The company acquired 3 start-up entities in the hospitality control industry. In December 2007, the controlling interest of Monarc was purchased by Brookcor Holdings, on an all cash and stock basis. Those businesses were spun out several months later and the paid stock returned to the treasury. MONA identified a China-based mass distribution company and completed a reverse merger with them through their Belize holding company Fulushu Limited in June 2008. The company continues operating these entities as it nears completion of the development of its B2B product line. The company is also currently in a process of filing certain documents to remove the warning sign from the Pink Sheets quotation system and to again become a solicited company, with future plans on becoming an SEC reporting issuer. MONA is also taking measures to raise the pink sheets ranking from "Yield limited information" to a "pink check mark status."

MONA News:

September 5 - MonArc Announces Anti-Dilution And 50 Million Share Buyback Program

MonArc Corporation (OTC: MONA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) (www.monacorporation.com) announced that it has entered an agreement with several of the majority shareholders, that the Company will not seek any sort of additional equity funding or any other sort of financing that would create dilution in the Company's stock.

In addition, the Company plans to conduct a share buyback of no less than 50 million shares either on the open market or directly from the stakeholders, and retire them back to the treasury.

The anti-dilution agreement is actually a lock up agreement. It is valid until the spin-off of existing companies is completed and dividends have been issued to current shareholders in accordance with the previously made announcements. This encompasses the acquisitions of both the direct marketing company, MCD, as well as the acquisition and spin off of the environmental oil services company, Hubei Chuguan Industry Co. Ltd.

MonArc CEO Chan Yong told investors yesterday that; "We have made a series of major announcements and have repositioned the Company and its core business model in a very significant fashion. This agreement is designed to formally address any uncertainty about the equity position of the Company and assure current shareholders of a stable trading environment to avoid speculation regarding any potential dilution.

We are also initiating a share buyback program of no less than 50 million shares and their retirement to the treasury. Shortly we will post our actual certified share count from our transfer agent, Heritage Trust on Pink Sheets showing the current share structure sum and the updated share structure once the buyback is completed. We feel very strongly that the Company is entering a new era and that our shareholders can look forward in confidence to superior performance of the Company's stock."

Mr.Garr Winters, the company's Secretary added, "Our stock target price aim is as close to the post reverse stock split price of 0.20 cents per share or as close as we can get to that goal. We acknowledge that there will be flippers and profit takers along the way and rightfully so, however plans and measures are being implemented as we speak that will see the greatest reward and return returned to our long term followers which is long overdue.

We have made several promises to our followers over the last 24 months that remain unfulfilled. For years, it has always been our corporate philosophy to under-promise and over-deliver. It is our intent to demonstrate this and restore our eroded values once and for all. Our new corporate business model as per the Pink Sheet filings and interview that will soon be aired on various media sources will be posted on our website shortly."

September 5 - Hat Trick Beverages Receives Proposal to Merge With Italian Manufacturer

Hat Trick Beverages Inc. (OTC: HKBV | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced that it has received an initial proposal to merge with a privately held Italian manufacturer of specialty beverage vending equipment. The proposal is to acquire a majority position in Hat Trick for a combination of cash and stock.

The buyer is a well-established supplier in the European market, and a PRE IPO company (Frankfurt Exchange) flush with cash, with assets of approximately $7 to $10 million Euros, and a track record established over 15 plus years of operation. Their capitalization in Frankfurt is expected to be in the $100 million Euro range, once trading begins. They have had some very significant success in Europe, but have not yet approached the North American market.

Hat Trick CEO, Sender Vaiser, explains, "This is a solid company that was originally introduced to Hat Trick as a possible supplier of equipment for our hot beverages division. Over the last couple of months, we have been in extensive discussions to supply Tango Cafe with their product line. They were very interested in our business plans, and ultimately decided that we offered a superb opportunity to not only access the North American market as a supplier, but as a public company as well. The Italian company also operates a coffee roasting division, a logistics centre, and a white label coffee packaging division of their specialty coffee. The buyer is also in a late stage development phase of their own 'Vitamin Water' Cold Drink division.

Mr Mario Capolini, a spokesperson with the company, said, 'The fact that Hat Trick is already engaged in the cold drink business is of great appeal to us, and it appears to us that there are some great synergies with both companies. Our early revenue projections of the Vitamin Water sales just in USA through Hat Trick's already established network have the potential to add additional $10-$12 million dollars in gross revenues to the combined companies. The distribution of our equipment would be a given throughout North America, through Hat Trick's already existing Tango Cafe infrastructure. The number of current pending deals Hat Trick has going is also of great interest to us.'

While it is premature to name the Manufacturer, the intentions are clear. We will be working with legal counsel, our corporate advisors who presented us with this opportunity, and our financial advisors to pull together a comprehensive plan. In the mean time, we will update our shareholders as appropriate while these discussions progress."

(NASDAQ: DGIT) and Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ENLV | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) ("Enliven") announced that they have entered into an amended merger agreement regarding DG FastChannel's previously announced acquisition of Enliven in a stock-for-stock transaction. The revised terms of the transaction value Enliven at approximately $80 million, inclusive of approximately $5.0 million of Enliven's debt.

Pursuant to the terms of the revised merger agreement, each outstanding share of Enliven common stock will be converted into 0.033 shares of DG FastChannel common stock. In the aggregate, DG FastChannel expects to issue approximately 2.9 million shares of its common stock (exclusive of shares already owned by DG FastChannel). Under the terms of the original merger agreement dated May 7, 2008, DG FastChannel expected to issue 4.5 million shares of its common stock (exclusive of shares already owned by DG FastChannel). Upon consummation of the merger, DG FastChannel will have approximately 20.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, with current DG FastChannel shareholders owning approximately 86%, and current Enliven shareholders (excluding DG FastChannel) owning approximately 14% of the combined enterprise.
