SLS International and Mark Burnett Sign Promotion Agreement

SLS International and Mark Burnett Sign Promotion Agreement

OZARK, Mo., June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SLS International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SITI or "SLS"), a designer and manufacturer of innovative proprietary audio systems, including its ultra-high fidelity "Ribbon Driver" loudspeakers, and Mark Burnett, executive producer of reality programs such as "Survivor", "The Apprentice" with Donald Trump, and his production company announced today that they have entered into a three-year promotion agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Burnett and his production company will work to create product integration opportunities for SLS and SLS-branded products to be integrated into his prime-time network television productions and to secure product placements of SLS products. Mr. Burnett will also act as a consultant to SLS on various business development projects.

The promotion agreement contemplates collaboration toward a product integration to coincide with SLS' planned release of its "Q Line Qube System". The Q Line is a new line of high-quality home theater and entertainment products for global markets that SLS has co-developed with world-renowned producer, arranger, composer and Grammy Award, Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Quincy Jones. The Q Line Qube System, which combines SLS' proprietary "Ribbon Driver" technology with Quincy Jones' innovating design for optimum sound, is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2006. The promotion agreement contemplates that Mr. Jones will act as the on-camera SLS spokesperson in connection with product integrations generated by the promotion agreement.

"This deal exemplifies synergy at the intersection of the entertainment and consumer electronics industries," proclaims John Gott, SLS' chief executive officer. "This is a unique opportunity for us to join forces with some of the best names in Hollywood, increase brand awareness together and show the world what we have to offer. We are very excited about our upcoming Q Line systems and couldn't think of a better way to launch additional products from that line."

"I discovered SLS while analyzing sound systems for my new show Rock Star:INXS, and I was amazed by the sound quality of SLS speakers," said Mr. Burnett. "I met with the SLS executives and with Quincy Jones and quickly realized that SLS was a company to hitch my wagon to."

"Listening to the SLS speakers is like there is a sonic carpet to your soul. If you could taste it, smell it or feel it, it would be different, but you just have to hear it. When you are in the movies or listening to music you can tell that the SLS' deliver a much clearer and better sound and the new products that we are developing together are going to be affordable enough for anybody to own. Mark Burnett is the perfect partner to enlighten the World about these products," said Quincy Jones.

As part of the deal, SLS and Mr. Burnett's production company expect to enter into license agreements for the use of certain trademarks and phrases associated with programs where SLS products are placed or integrated. Any licenses would bear specified royalties based on certain sales of SLS products.
