SpringWorks,
LLC was created in the Spring of 2004 to identify, produce, and
invest in emerging technologies that make it possible for
Petters Group Worldwide to create first-to-market and/or
differentiated value to consumer branded products and services
with an emphasis on consumer electronics. SpringWorks'
biggest strength is its ability to turn ideas into reality in
relatively short time frames. Nothing creates new sales
like new technology. The key is timing. An important
element of SpringWorks that sets it apart from other
technology-based investors is its flexibility and responsiveness
in bringing products to the marketplace. Combining with Petters'
unique relationships with global manufacturers and distributors,
SpringWorks is able to integrate innovative technologies into
new or existing products that are quickly developed and sold
through the Petters Group Worldwide(TM) family of companies.
We've found it's the best way to help be first to market to cash
in on what's hot. And avoid what's not. Petters Group
Worldwide™ is a recognized leader in creating, developing and
investing in companies that manufacture, procure and market
merchandising solutions for key growth markets. Petters' core
portfolio includes a growing list of retail and wholesale
companies operating in the United States, Brazil, China, Japan,
Korea, Mexico, and Spain. George Danko,
Chief Executive Officer, was most recently the Senior Vice
President of Best Buy's Appliance and Consumer Electronics
business teams. He gained extensive management and global
sourcing experience, developing house brands for Best Buy's
appliance and consumer electronics divisions. Prior to Best Buy,
Mr. Danko was SVP at Pentair, a $2.7 billion diversified
industrial manufacturer, where he completed over seven strategic
business acquisitions throughout the world.

Phantom
Technologies™ is a developer of innovative
technologies for manufacturers of portable, home, and gaming
products that greatly enhances the audio listening experience
for consumers. The company’s patented Ss3® audio signal
processor is the CE industry’s first affordable audio
enhancement solution designed specifically for portable audio
devices. During the process of compressing music into a digital
format (CDs, MP3s, DVDs, etc.) spatial characteristics of the
music along with certain background voices and instruments are
masked. Phantom Technologies’ Ss3 circuit restores this masked
information to re-create studio-quality sound and provide the
listener a rich, immersive listening experience much like you’d
hear in a live performance.
