"ATON and Panamax-Furman have brought ELAN's Tech Week to the tipping point of
technology education. The participation of these added companies gives our 300+
attendees unprecedented hands-on access to eleven whole-house industry leaders and
their newest products. We are very excited about having such a forum to showcase
ATON's patent-pending DLA technology and Panamax-Furman's cutting-edge power
management to this many enthusiastic Dealers," stated Mr. Starkey.

Bob Williams, General Manager of ATON, said, "As a newly-launched Technology
Company, our staff is primed for our first Tech Week and recognize and appreciate
the value of the up-close and personal contact with the high caliber of Dealers it
offers. This will allow us to introduce these Dealers to several new applications
of our Dynamic Level Adjustment Technology products. One of the many applications
that we are getting a lot of excitement about is wireless RF remote control of ELAN
multi-room audio system "sub-zones". Tech Week gives us a tremendous opportunity to
provide ELAN Dealers with these solutions. We are absolutely thrilled to
participate."

Dave Keller, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Panamax-Furman noted,
"ELAN has done an incredible job of teaching Dealers how to integrate many
whole-house components into centralized control systems. We are really looking
forward to this great opportunity to show the importance of advanced power
management and filtration so that Dealers can offer rich palettes of control
features while protecting systems from catastrophic failures and delivering
jaw-dropping, noise-free media signals throughout their installations."

As part of their Sponsorships, ATON and Panamax-Furman will offer demonstrations of
their products in a focused environment over several days. This will provide
Dealers with the opportunity to see how these manufacturers are working hand-in-hand
with ELAN in order to simplify product integration and/or value-add their
installations. In addition, Sponsors will have the opportunity to meet with the
Dealers one-on-one, be part of Tech Week marketing efforts, and participate in
Installer discussions and events.
