Salt Lake City, UT, & Toronto, Ontario, Canada, - MotoSAT, a leading provider of mobile and automated satellite antenna solutions, has agreed to be acquired by Balaton Group Inc., an international private equity firm based in Toronto, Canada, with significant experience in the satellite industry.    The acquisition is set to close in the fall of 2008. Financial terms have not been disclosed.   "We are enthusiastic about the MotoSAT business and feel that the company's technical leadership and showcase-manufacturing capabilities in the United States position the company well for expansion into global markets," said Robert Kubbernus, CEO of Balaton. "We also see great potential in the company's new, ruggedized commercial product line that should generate continued expansion into the Satellite News Gathering, Government, Military, Emergency Management, Commercial and Media sectors." "MotoSAT has recently developed market-ready technology that uses inclined-orbit satellites, a solution that has the potential to radically lower the cost of ownership of satellite communications circuits," Kubbernus added. "With an appropriate investment of capital and resources, we see a significant growth opportunity in MotoSAT." MotoSAT, based in Salt Lake City, was founded in 1984 as a manufacturer of automated satellite television antennas for the recreational vehicle market. In the years since, the company has become a leader in automated systems that locate satellite signals from vehicles and mobile units for television and broadband Internet access. Its customer base has expanded into government and military vehicles, the oil-and-gas market, and a variety of local government emergency command centers and medical applications. MotoSAT's products, offered through a network of 250 dealers in North America and Europe, are manufactured in Salt Lake City at a 45,000 square-foot production facility. The company has about 110 employees, all based in Utah. "This is the right time to put MotoSAT into the hands of a company like Balaton Group that has the resources and expertise to grow MotoSAT to an entirely new level of production and profitability," said Jim Pendleton, MotoSAT President and a majority shareholder. "After 24 years of successful business and product innovation, the MotoSAT story turns a page to a new chapter. With our strong current install base, dealer network and new product launches set for this fall, I can proudly turn the reins over to Balaton and consider my retirement options.  I also look forward to spending the upcoming months working with Balaton to ensure a smooth transition."
