Berliner Freiverkehr (Aktien) AG, one of the largest brokerage firms in Germany and a market maker in markets in Berlin, Frankfurt and Stuttgart, is acting as a market maker for the company's stock. The listing allows German investors to buy shares in local currency and helps establish a more significant presence in Europe for USA Video Interactive.

Makro GMBH also prepared the documentation necessary for USA Video Interactive's listing on the Berlin Stock Exchange. The Berlin Stock Exchange has three market segments: the official market; the regulated market; and the unofficial regulated market. USA Video Interactive is trading on the unofficial regulated market, which represents approximately 90 per cent of all companies listed in Germany. "Listing on the Berlin exchange helps our global expansion initiatives, particularly with our patent already approved and in effect in Germany, and with one of our clients being Phenomedia, Germany's largest content creator," said Edwin Molina, president and chief executive officer of USA Video Interactive. "As we complete the deployment of StreamHQ this summer, it further reinforces that our rich media streaming technology has applications worldwide." Phenomedia, Germany's largest creator of entertainment content for PCs, video game systems, the Internet, interactive television and mobile device platforms, contracted USA Video Interactive to provide streaming media services for its customers and started by streaming content for Phenomedia's client, Ferrero.
