Randy Hardin, President & CEO of UPG, stated, "We are excited with the technology that ePIC has brought us with this partnership, especially the great synergy ePIC's IMOS product has with the markets we already serve - security, consumer and commercial. After evaluating many web-based video monitoring products, we have concluded that ePIC's combination of ease-of-use, seamless integration, affordability, and sophisticated feature set represents the best product on the market. This monitoring solution gives us and our partners a means to derive incremental recurring subscription revenue from existing customer bases beyond the sale of the product, and most importantly, a competitive differentiation based on the ability to offer this highly advanced surveillance solution for homes and businesses at affordable price points. I for one would like to know, while I am on the road, when my 13 year old daughter is home alone and accessing the pool area, for instance. IMOS allows me to get notified immediately wherever I am, so I can take more immediate action."

"We are currently pursuing retail and commercial security markets to carry IMOS. The types of applications are vast, from security infrastructure for ATMS, convenience stores, fast food franchises, retail, limited access areas, second home monitoring, residential self-monitoring, and more. We intend to aggressively pursue opportunities to sell and service as many IMOS units as possible, and will continue to identify more technology based products and solutions for our evolving consumer needs," added Hardin.

Michael Gegenheimer, CEO of ePIC stated, "We decided to use UPG as our exclusive partner for North America because of UPG's extensive distribution channels, sales and marketing capabilities, and third party logistics expertise. Our product integrates well with UPG's business and we are confident that this partnership will help ePIC establish our presence and accelerate our growth in the U.S. market."

Under the agreement, UPG will be the exclusive U.S. Distributor of ePIC products and services and have certain exclusive sales and marketing rights.
