Microphonics is "Honored Guest" at ISM Annual "Dealer Contact Event"

    NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 30 -- Microphonics
(OTC Bulletin Board: MRPS) (http://www.microphonics.com) was invited as an
"Honored Guest" at ISM Holding Corporation's
(OTC Bulletin Board: ISMH - news) annual "Dealer Contact Event" at the new ISM
Motorsports complex in Indianapolis, Indiana. CEO 's and other representatives
from over 75 major distributors and dealers attended the event.  Microphonics
was the sole vendor attending, and proudly displayed and demonstrated the
111-R Ultraphonics Detector to receptive attendees.
    Mr. Myles Izikoff, VP of Sales and Marketing for Microphonics, stated,
"This was a pivotal meeting for us.  Thanks to ISM and their associate
sponsor, a major tier 1 automobile component manufacturer, we were introduced
to major distributors and dealers prominent in the automotive, trucking, and
racing markets. The exposure we gained at that meeting would have taken months
if not years of hard work to obtain. We met with and have appointments with
companies such as Ryder Truck, J.B. Hunt, Schneider Trucking, and many others.
Gaining access to these 75 distributors provides us the opportunity to
dramatically increase our own outreach to the trucking industry and automotive
supply and repair stores and centers around the country."

    About the Ultraphonic Detector 111R.
    This hand-held device is so exact that it can detect a hole half the
thickness of a human hair.  More practically, it can pinpoint and identify
leaks (pressurized, non-pressurized and vacuum), mechanical malfunctions, and
certain electrical problems as well. Perhaps the most remarkable benefit is
that it warns of impending trouble before a costly malfunction occurs. In
addition, with its proprietary software, the Microphonics ultrasound detection
units are uniquely "trained" to ignore ambient sounds of noisy factories or
engines and only listen to the "signature" ultrasounds which indicate a
potential problem, long before a major breakdown or downtime issue develops.
In-house technicians with only a short one-day training session can expertly
monitor equipment performance and product quality while reducing maintenance
and warranty costs.
