MSGI Receives Irrevocable Revolving Commercial Letters of Credit From Shinhan Bank

NEW YORK , Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSGI Security Solutions Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MSGIE) today announced that it has received a first in a series of two revolving irrevocable commercial letters of credit from Shinhan Bank Seoul Korea in conjunction with Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The first letter of credit for one million dollars is in the process of being funded and a second letter of credit for an additional three million dollars has just been approved.

The LOC's will revolve month to month such that MSGI will have access to one million dollars on a weekly basis for the purpose of acquiring hardware and inventory from various suppliers in Korea. MSGI now can fulfill existing purchase orders from clients both in the United States and abroad.

Each letter of credit generally stays open for approximately 60 days to allow for adequate processing time of orders. The first such letter of credit was issued on October 22, 2008 .

Jeremy Barbera , Chairman and CEO of MSGI stated; "Since embarking on our global commercial security expansion plan, the greatest challenge has been funding the prerequisite inventory acquisition, particularly given the present credit market. These revolving LOC's will provide MSGI with the necessary purchasing power to deliver on open contracts and give us the ability for the first time to make weekly deliveries to our clients without the added expense of maintaining onsite inventory. We will now be able to start working through our $100 million backlog."
