BUDAPEST, HUNGARY 7/16/07 -- Power of the Dream Ventures (PDV), Hungary's premiere technology acquisition company is pleased to announce a two year extension to a previously signed exclusive distributorship agreement for the commercialization of the TothTelescope, the world's smallest, lightest, highest powered portable monocular telescope-system.

"Fallowing a fast and furious start with the TothTelescope we run into manufacturing difficulties. Simply put the mechanical and optical quality required for the project was unavailable in Hungary. Because of this the telescope has been unavailable since the beginning of the year." commented Viktor Rozsnyay, President of PDV. "We are now looking for manufacturing partners internationally. By extending our exclusive distributor agreement we are showing our commitment to this product. I believe the TothTelescope can be an interesting addition to our technology portfolio. It will not be our best revenue source, but it will add interesting color. Our hope is to make it available again by the end of the year, or early next year the latest." concluded Mr. Rozsnyay.

The TothTelescope is an ingenious small device that is equally suited for terrestrial imaging as stargazing and even microscopy, all packed in a design that weighs less than 500 grams and collapses into a package less than 14 centimeters in length. It is the smallest, lightest, multi function telescope ever invented.
