| RAY ENTERTAINMENT INTERNATIONAL is very pleased to announce.... | |

"We have relocated our corporate headquarters to the US in order to better facilitate
conducting business internationally. This is tremendously beneficial to us given that
most of our projects now originate outside Germany and a streamlined corporate and administrative
operation was really needed. Importantly though, the creative headquarters is still based in Hamburg Germany...and nothing on the production and creative side has changed at all. It's the best of both worlds really..." Jeffrey Rockett |
|
| In addition, Ray Entertainment has opened a second business office in Orlando Florida which we will use as a base from which to begin our expansion into the US market in 2009. | |
