Dear Reader,
Recently, the editors of StockUpTicks’ visited Manhattan
to meet with management of a new company that had been recommended
as a potential subject for ongoing coverage for our one million
readers. We had been told that this fairly young company was a strong
turnaround story and that they had a few strong patents we’d be
interested in.
What we found upon arrival at the offices of Advanced Technology
Industries Inc. (OTCBB: AVDI), was a company effectively completing
the last leg of a dynamic turnaround with more than a few strong
patents. We also found a talented management team making things
happen from Australia to New York to Germany… all while incubating
potentially enormous agreements with leading major brands worldwide.
Our editors completed a getting-to-know-you meeting and walked
into the streets of the Big Apple, each with the same impression:
This is the right story for us to bring our StockUpTick’s
readers.
We know that our readers love patents and technology… you’ve told
us as much over the last five years. And AVDI is loaded
with both… and then some.
Not only does this company have a diverse stream of patents and
inventions, it also has exclusive rights to the fountains of both.
In fact, while AVDI brings to market some revolutionary ideas
that we will expand on later, they also have secured rights to the
creative mind behind these innovations.
What we can tell you now is that we were so impressed with AVDI
that we agreed to the longest program of coverage we have ever engaged
in with a company. We truly believe there’s so much here with the
bounty of ideas and news that it’s going to take numerous installments
from us to get all the information to you.
From our view, this company is simply like holding a handful of
lottery tickets.

About
Advanced Technologies |
 |
Advanced Technology Industries, Inc. has been a leader in acquiring
technologies and intellectual properties that have been introduced
and developed by scientists throughout the world, primarily originating
in Israel, Russia, and Germany. 17 months ago, management at AVDI
and management at the privately-held LTDnetwork Inc., began positioning
the two companies for a merger. Combining the technologies that
AVDI has acquired and the proprietary software of LTDnetwork, the
emerging company will integrate the combined resources into a single
force in the software-technology market.
Effective streamlining of operations and certain restructuring
steps following the pending merger are anticipated to include: appointing
a new board of directors of AVDI and current management of LTDnetwork
assuming management positions at AVDI. It is also expected that
such new management will assemble a skilled, U.S. based sales team
that will begin implementing its strategic plans shortly following
the merger.
Together with the in-house media resources of LTDnetwork,
the new AVDI is expected to launch a public relations campaign
to publicize the combined companies' highly innovative products.
Following the merger, AVDI plans to close its Berlin office and
relocate its headquarters to New York City.
about
Founded in October 2000, LTDnetwork
Inc., a US based company, has spent the last three years
creating unique proprietary software at its Australian subsidiary
in Melbourne.
Specializing in the development of innovative
Technologies, Software, and Services for online e-tailers, price
comparison Internet shopping, Internet gaming, advertising, and
media and marketing, LTDnetwork’s vision is to provide online businesses
and third party solution providers with tools that always target
the consumer with the right message at the right time, in what have
now become the "hottest areas" for software applications including:
music downloading, automatic price comparison and highly targeted
advertising.
The digital rights management features have been developed by LTDnetwork
Inc., for installation into Singwell's Qtrax product. The ease of
incorporation of this software into any P2P is likely to encourage
other applications. The products will be launched in the 3rd quarter,
2004.
LTDnetwork also has developed digital rights management software
(see press release and related links below) for initial installation
into Singwell's Qtrax product that may revolutionize the music
industry by providing a viable solution to allow artists to
benefit from their songs, in the free downloading environment. The
LTDnetwork software facilitates a middle ground between the record
industry, songwriters, publishers and the downloading software industry.
The software attaches digital rights management features to the
mp3 files and automatically reports song plays to BMI (while retaining
user anonymity), prevention of downloading of the material for use
on other devices without the payment of a fee, and ensuring the
songs can only be shared with other Qtrax customers.
In addition, LTDnetwork also operates over
350 specialty e-tail sites utilizing a range of software products
that are designed to facilitate and enhance the purchasing experience
of both its own customers and those of leading Internet companies
that utilize the products under joint venture or licensing arrangements.a
LTDnetwork is a Microsoft
certified
.Net Connected Developer.
