General Automotive and SenCer recently formed the ACT joint venture to develop, commercialize and market SenCer’s groundbreaking UltraTemp™ ceramic composite materials for accelerating the development of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly fuel cell technologies.

The joint venture also intends to advance the development and commercialization of next-generation oxygen sensors, which represent a significant part of the Company’s current business, which generated total annual revenues of $15.3 million in 2007.

ACT’s groundbreaking technology solves the two most persistent problems in fuel cell design; cost and durability, by replacing expensive platinum conductors with co-fired proprietary ceramic conductive layers. The technology will also enable the design of more sophisticated oxygen sensors to help maximize fuel economy and minimize exhaust emissions for motor vehicles worldwide.

General Automotive President and CEO Joseph DeFrancisci commented, “Backed by extensive field test data supporting remarkable thermal properties and the bonding relationship with engineered oxide, conductive metals and ceramics coatings from SenCer’s breakthrough technology UltraTemp™; we believe this new joint venture will accelerate commercial development of potential industry-changing devices in the automotive sensor and fuel cell technology markets globally.”

Joint Venture Operating Terms with Commercial Viability Timeline

On July 22, 2008, General Automotive Company (GAC) and SenCer, Inc. entered into an Operating Agreement which sets forth the regulations, terms and conditions under which Advanced Composite Technology, LLC (ACT), the Joint Venture will be operated.

The Operating Agreement provides that GAC and SenCer shall each hold 50% membership interests in the Joint Venture.

If commercial viability has not been achieved by January 15, 2009, the Joint Venture will be dissolved unless GAC elects to continue its existence. This early exit clause under General Automotive’s control, not only positions the Company for significantly greater shareholder value with very little risk, but also the short term time horizon that both joint venture partners expect to establish commercial viability by.

GAC shall be the sole managing member of the Joint Venture, responsible for the day-to-day operations as well as certain marketing activities for Advanced Composite Technology.

SenCer shall design and develop applications and prototype products for clients of the Joint Venture. The description of the Operating Agreement above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Operating Agreement as filed with the S.E.C.

"Up 42.86% in morning trading"

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/MONA.php

Monarc Corporation was formed in 2000. The company acquired multiple subprime short term lending companies for the B2C marketplace doing business under the brand name "Cash Now" in 2003. The company also had an array of other financial products such as IFGX and Cash Next under development for the B2B marketplace; such as invoice discounting and factoring. In 2005 the company suffered a setback with 4 consecutive strikes of hurricanes of 2005 while domiciled in Florida. Unable to operate on a day to day basis without interruptions, the company was delisted from being am SEC reporting issuer soon after and consequently its stock was re-ranked as an unsolicited stock and 2006 was a reconstructing year. The company used the time out to raise capital with the issuance of preferred convertible shares. Soon after, in January 2007, it resumed operations. With the sweeping changes in the subprime industry and with most of the States and Provinces restricting this product use the company looked at different industries. In 2007, it launched a Check 21 product and a Forex division and looked towards China as a growth market. In late 2007 MONA sold these aforementioned operating assets to a China-based company and the proceeds of that sale were distributed to its shareholders. In early 2008, MONA looked for another growth industry and decided to enter beverage control. The company acquired 3 start-up entities in the hospitality control industry. In December 2007, the controlling interest of Monarc was purchased by Brookcor Holdings, on an all cash and stock basis. Those businesses were spun out several months later and the paid stock returned to the treasury. MONA identified a China-based mass distribution company and completed a reverse merger with them through their Belize holding company Fulushu Limited in June 2008. The company continues operating these entities as it nears completion of the development of its B2B product line. The company is also currently in a process of filing certain documents to remove the warning sign from the Pink Sheets quotation system and to again become a solicited company, with future plans on becoming an SEC reporting issuer. MONA is also taking measures to raise the pink sheets ranking from "Yield limited information" to a "pink check mark status."

September 8 - MonArc Corporation Closes Acquisition of China Based Direct Marketing Company

MonArc Corporation (OTC: MONA) (www.monacorporation.com) announced that it has closed the acquisition of EEIGI Ltd., a Hong Kong based direct marketing company with over 7,000 representatives.

EEIGI manufactures and sells a proprietary line of all-natural Health and Beauty Aids (HBA) through a direct marketing distribution business model. These are developed and shipped worldwide from the Company's Canadian offices and manufacturing centre. Importantly, EEIGI has put together a significant network of representatives, and enjoys top-line revenue in the millions of dollars with an asset base of roughly $15 million.

HBA is one of the most profitable sectors based on gross margins of products sold. The most significant costs most HBA firms have is the cost of marketing and advertising, including package design. Using a direct marketing business model similar to Amway and Avon, EEIGI has reached a level of critical mass with enough distributors to generate profitability on its product line. The Company is now poised for accelerated growth, given the organic growth model of direct, multi-level sales and the marketing support the Company can now dedicate to building on an already successful business model. It is targeting a total of 18 countries to augment its core sales in China.

EEIGI is currently developing an English version of its website, which can be found at www.eeigi.com. Initial development has begun, however the quality of the translation is relatively inconsistent. One of the first tasks MonArc will undertake is to ensure that the English version of the website accurately depicts the EEIGI's products and services, and complies with North American, and eventually, European regulatory requirements.

Moving forward, EEIGI will be the primary operating business within MonArc. In keeping with the Company's new business model as a Small Cap Boutique Investment Group, MonArc will work with EEIGI management to begin to create awareness of EEIGI as a public company. We will be tasked with creating investor awareness and building investor interest in EEIGI. Our advisory services will include helping to grow the Company to the next level with sound financial planning and appropriate corporate strategies. When EEIGI is ready, MonArc management intention is to spin it off as a separate public company. Obviously, MonArc shareholders will be rewarded with dividends in the new company. It is also planed or anticipated that MONA investors will have the opportunity to see their investment grow through the addition of stock warrants or options once EEIGI stands on its own.

In other Company news, MonArc is continuing discussions regarding the sale of its Hubei Chuguan Industry Co. Ltd.position. This is an environmental services company active in the oil sector, as previously announced. Our representatives in China are walking Hubei Chuguan executives through a similar approach and spin off their Company as the second major project in the upcoming months. Due diligence is proceeding on course, and we are working with management to develop the final framework and timetable for this project.

MonArc is also continuing work with PP365.com an online gaming company (the current operating company in MONA) and Innotrek, (a broadband Hotel ISP) who have been making excellent progress in their respective businesses, but are not as mature as companies as EEIGI and Hubei Chuguan. Management is in discussion with several interested groups for these asssets.

MonArc CEO, Mr Yong Chan advises: “We feel that MonArc is on the verge of significant success. Special gratitude to Mr.Garr Winters MONA X CEO and the current Secretary and Strategic Advisor has been instrumental and pivotal in making all of this happen. He has been working overtime in the background to see this transformation and sucess come to a fruition. Not to take anything away from PP365 or Beijing Innotrek Technology Co., but EEIGI and Hubei Chuguan are on a different level in terms of maturity of the Company, scale of operations, revenue streams and profitability. However, we really like what these younger companies are achieving and have every confidence that they will have the ability to capitalize on their respective business opportunities and go on to great success within our company, and as individual public companies down the line.

Our work with them has been vital to MonArc as we have reshaped our corporate business model over the last year. We are extremely well positioned to continue to identify additional candidate companies in China who are already successful but need the benefit of our experience and guidance to capitalize on the benefits of being publicly traded companies. Shareholders can expect to receive an ongoing series of rewards in a form of cash or stock dividends and other instruments to leverage the potential for increased value of these companies; as we introduce them to public markets and transition them to trade under their own names.”

TPH has a total of over 600 stores, carrying a variety of low-cost consumer products. With the addition of TPH, Good Life now boasts a total of over 3,300 stores.

September 8 - Escala Mine Exploration Continues to Reveal Potential Significant Increases in Extractable Mineralization

Franklin Mining, Inc. (OTC: FMNJ) (Frankfurt: FMJ.F) Chairman and CEO William Petty confirms that Howard Dunn, PE, Vice President of Operations for International Mining, and Milton Flores, Staff Geologist, Franklin Mining, Bolivia, continue expanding their primary exploration at the Escala Mine. Mr. Dunn and Mr. Flores recently completed a week of field mapping and sampling with surface chip samples to verify earlier sampling and extend the sampling area both south and west-northwest of the current area of mining activity at the Escala.

"Samples collected during this last trip were submitted for analysis by Canada's SGS Lakefield Research Limited and preliminary reports indicate the Escala's mineralization has the potential to significantly increase the total extractable mineralization within our concession," added Mr. Petty. "Very high anomalous metal values of silver (47-100 g/t), lead (2-2.8%), gold (0.2-0.57 g/t), and copper where returned from three samples indicating mineralization 250-500 meters south-southeast of the Pattis adit and 500-1000 meters north-northwest from the Pattis Adit."
