Blonder Tongue Signs Agreement on Initiative to Implement Manufacturing in China.

OLD BRIDGE, N.J. -- Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (AMEX: "BDR") today announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Master Gain International Industrial Limited, a Hong Kong corporation to manufacture products in the People's Republic of China. This joint venture is expected to decrease manufacturing costs and facilitate the Company's entry into the Asia Pacific cable market, while allowing the Company to maintain its engineering, research and development, manufacturing engineering, purchasing and quality control at the Company's corporate headquarters in Old Bridge, New Jersey. The joint venture is part of Blonder Tongue's continued effort to adapt to market trends and pressures in order to improve its long-term competitive position.

The Company estimates that over the next two years it will obtain cost savings of $4-5 million dollars, primarily due to reduced costs for labor and materials. Approximately $1 million of these estimated savings are expected during 2006. The actual costs and benefits, as well as the timing for implementation of this initiative are dependent on issues encountered during implementation, future business conditions, sales volumes, and regulatory requirements under the laws of the People's Republic of China, among other factors.

While the joint venture agreement contemplates the formation of several new entities, Blonder Tongue and Master Gain, will each own (directly or indirectly) a fifty percent (50%) interest in a new Chinese manufacturing company to be called Shenzhen China Blonder Tongue. Master Gain will contribute $5,850,000 to the joint venture. Blonder Tongue will contribute 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to the joint venture and will grant to Master Gain stock options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Blonder Tongue's common stock. Both the shares issued to the joint venture as well as the options granted to Master Gain will be subject to certain restrictions and rights of cancellation.

The Company will grant the joint venture a license to use certain of the Company's technology and know-how to manufacture and sell certain of the Company's products, and an exclusive distributorship to sell certain products in the Asian, Southeast Asian, African, European, Middle Eastern and Australian markets. This arrangement will commence with less complex products being licensed and manufactured during the early stages of the joint venture and progress to the license, manufacture and sell more complex products over time, all of which will be managed from the Company's corporate offices.

It is also anticipated that the joint venture will acquire from third parties other technology, along with the rights to manufacture, market and sell products developed from these technologies. The joint venture will grant the Company an exclusive distributorship to sell such products in the North American, South American and Caribbean markets. The Company plans to expand its sales operation in order to increase its market penetration and leverage its exclusive distribution rights. The Company believes it will realize growth in sales through increased market share in its core area market, increased sales in the Pacific Rim, and increased sales from new product lines and product line extensions. This projected growth in sales, coupled with anticipated reductions in manufacturing costs, are expected to result in higher gross margin and net profits.

Blonder Tongue President, Bob Palle stated, "This initiative is one part of a reinvention of Blonder Tongue. The joint venture is expected to reduce the Company's manufacturing costs and increase market share in the US cable market as well as open the Pacific Rim cable market." Palle added. "As we execute this manufacturing strategy, the overall company structure provides the cornerstone for our customers to continue receiving the outstanding product performance and quality that they expect from Blonder Tongue."
