:TEIM) and Alpha Spacecom Company Limited. As a means of showing the public the completion of the merger, the company name will be changed to Alpha Spacecom, Inc. effective March 2002.

"I would like to take this opportunity to give our shareholders a brief introduction of Alpha's background and business focus.

"Alpha Spacecom Company Limited (`ASC') was incorporated in Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov.  in December of 1998. The company was founded with full anticipation of booming data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another.  and multimedia market in China and in the Asia Pacific Region.

"ASC ASC Ambulatory surgery center, see there  is in the business of developing a Ka band communication satellite system that will provide wide bandwidth, high data throughput, low cost, and high efficiency broadcast and communications services to China and its neighboring Asia Pacific countries.

"At the present time, we are focused on the broadcasting/satellite business in China. Everybody knows that China is a large country with the largest television audience in the world with approximately 300 million viewers.

"Television viewing is also the primary home entertainment in China. The viewing habits, and viewing interests vary from region to region in China, as education level, demographics, nationalities, culture, dialects, languages, and tradition differ in different parts of the country.

"This has resulted in a segmented market Segmented Market

 that the traditional means of television broadcast does not adequately address. Our interactive and program-on-demand type system will address many of the needs of this segmented market. Our Alpha System platform provides high bandwidth, high data rate, low cost, and interactivity is highly desired.

"Recognizing this excellent opportunity, ASC has been working with the China State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (`SARFT') and the China Broadcasting Film Television Satellite Company Limited (`CBSat') for the past two years in an effort to develop a broadband Satellite-Pay-Per-View (`SPPV') system in order to satisfy the growing public need.

"CBSat is the only company authorized by SARFT SARFT State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (China)  to have the exclusive right to engage in the operations of the satellite transmission services for the broadcasting of films and television programs in China.

"Why the SPPV project is so promising: With China's entry into the World Trade Organization, it is projected that China's media market will gradually open up, which means more and more foreign media companies can enter into the China market. These media companies need a low cost and high capacity platform to bring their television programs to the Chinese viewers, and the SPPV system will be their only and most appropriate choice.

"ASC's business is not only limited to the SPPV system. Vice Minister Lu Xinkui of China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII 1. (body) MII - A consortium of Microsoft, IBM, and Intel.

The system will serve to provide extension and backup to the terrestrial means -- fixed and mobile -- as well as the `last mile' connectivity, thanks to its unique capability of reach and the inherent advantage of availability.
