Signature Devices, Inc. Subsidiary 7th Level Entertainment Group Clinches Strategic Acquisition Financing for Events/Tours Deals with Yamani Pictures

NEW YORK, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 7th Level Entertainment Group-a wholly owned subsidiary of Signature Devices, Inc. (Other OTC: SDVI) in Redwood, CA.-announced today that it has secured a multi-pronged deal with Yamani Pictures which includes agreements for 7th Level to produce multiple tours and events surrounding the release of Yamani's feature film projects for 2010-2015. In addition to the agreements for tour and event production, Yamani Pictures has also entered into a deal to provide 7th level with a significant amount of strategic acquisition financing. The primary goal of the financing is to provide 7th Level with a financial vehicle to acquire entertainment based entities that are synergistic to both Yamani and 7th Level. While neither party has released information on the exact amount committed by Yamani, the anticipated contracts should yield in the 9 figure range.

R.J. Bucaria, Chief Executive Officer of 7th Level Entertainment Group, LLC. further elaborated on this remunerative agreement which was struck with Robert Yasin Wright, C.E.O. of Yamani Pictures, saying: "In addition to enabling 7th Level to produce a series of high profile events surrounding Yamani's fantastic feature films, this deal puts the 7th Level Entertainment Group in the position to acquire companies and assets within the scope of the Entertainment Industry that will add significant value to the 7th Level Entertainment Group, Yamani Pictures and their respective investors."

Kenneth Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Signature Devices, Inc., parent company of both 7th Level and its sister division, Graffiti Entertainment, further stated: "7th Level is already working with Yamani Pictures, promoting and producing events and tours of Yamani's proprietary slate of animation and action films which star true, "A" List talent. Frankly, Yamani's agreement with 7th Level is a business coup in itself... with the addition of the strategic acquisition financing deal, this agreement greatly expands the scope of our total entertainment business. With 7th Level doing film tours and events, and its sister division, Graffiti Entertainment, Inc. handling the video gaming franchise opportunities for Yamani's feature films, the benefits for all involved are enormous. This is a win for Yamani Pictures and a win for Signature Devices as well-the 7th Level and Graffiti deals really propel our momentum as we continue to diversify our businesses into new areas of the entertainment sector, specifically with music and film tours, live events and talent management- all this added to our core gaming business."

Robert Yasin Wright, C.E.O. of Yamani Pictures, was quoted as saying: "The strategic alliance of Yamani Pictures' joint venture with the 7th Level Entertainment Group will prove ground-breaking in the over-all entertainment industry."
