CVSL Update – Stunning Short Position Uncovered
by jwbuffett
We have been made aware of a massive short position taken in CVSL shares over the last few weeks, a position of over 2.4 million shares that includes a single institutional bet of 2.1 million shares + the reported CVSL retail short interest per WSJ (a CVSL record in itself) of 316,734 shares. We find this remarkable in many respects, but the most obvious would have to be that this position would take 33 trading days to cover at the average trading volume of 73,000 shares per day were traded and 100% of the volume was short covering. If that 33 days started today, the buying necessary to cover that position would take until January 15, IF 100% OF THE VOLUME TRADED OVER THAT 33 DAYS WERE BUY TO COVER TRANSACTIONS . That is not possible and what is more likely is that the buying will now include not just value investors who recognize CVSL as undervalued, but traders who will see a short position that is such a huge percentage of the available public float for a company whose management controls over 65% of the shares outstanding. Given the time frame over which this short position has developed, we can not construct a scenario where the price at which the position could have been established would be higher than the $1.50 range. We continue to believe that CVSL shares trading below $2 is an aberation and we now understand why it actually traded lower after reporting a Q3 that should have pushed the shares much higher.

We view the emergence of this short position as a stunning development, as it would be impossible for this short position to be covered before Q4 is over if normal trading volumes persist. Recent management commentary, channel checks and anecdotal evidence from multiple sources suggest to us what we had already suspected based on the third quarter's momentum and the general seasonality of CVSL's businesses - that CVSL is having a great quarter, tracking to report record revenue that we expect to be up 25% or more SEQUENTIALLY over Q3 and possibly the first profitable quarter in its history for Q4. With only 22 full trading days plus two partial trading days until the end of the year, CVSL could conceivably report that record revenue quarter before this short position could be covered. We can not conceive of a more bullish scenario for CVSL shares.

2 low cost (traditional non-shale) onshore oil plays with enormous potential - drilling starts in december !


Terra Nova Energy (TGC ticker on Canadian Venture, TNVMF on OTC):

Focused on exploring for and developing low cost, high margin oil in Australia's Cooper Basin.

Short info sheet:

- cost per barrel is 23-28$
- Brent oil now sells for around 50$ a barrel
- the company receives an extra 10%-15% premium above the Brent market price
- to be proven reserves in the upcoming drilling campaign of around 92.7 million barrels of oil
- company owns 20% of the oil properties
- drilling starts in december
- only 6% of the total acreage has been shot with 3d seismic, that leaves still 93% unexplored. Can you imagine what the other 93% might hold if 6% of their acreage already shows a possible 92.7 million barrels !!!

This results in a possible share price of around 6$ when the reserves are proven after the drilling campaign ends (The stock now trades around 0,08$)! Remember, this is only for their explored 6% acreage, the potential upside here is still much higher !

Management did a PP and they themselves raised money for the company earlier this year so they also have a lot of skin in the game !

The company trades on the Canadian Venture exchange but also on the OTC (TNVMF). I would advise to buy on the Venture since volume there is always much higher then on the OTC, the OTC is very thinly traded so it's difficult to get in/out.

I am quite confident oil will be struck. The companies have used new tools available in the industry like the virtual drilling software of Rex international, see http://www.rexih.com/pdf/02-RVD1.pdf
It's software has a much higher accuracy rate then using conventional methods to detect oil. (it's own tests give it a 100% accuracy rate). The company has spent more then a year analyzing their seismic data together with Rex to derisk their drilling campaign and to make sure they hit it right at the first try.

If the first well is a success then at least 2 more wells will be drilled immediately to take advantage of the oil rig and boots on the ground already there.

Company Share Structure:

87.5 Million Shares
7.4 Million Options
1.9 Million Warrants
= 96.8 Million fully diluted

Drilling news:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/terra-nova-engages-senex-energy-120000332.html


Holloman Energy (HENC ticker on OTC):

Partner to Terra Nova Energy on it's oil properties, HENC owns around 49% of the properties. Of course the same items in the info sheet as stated above also apply here, the only difference is that HENC owns a bigger cut of the acreage. Management is from Holloman Corporation in Houston and are also the largest shareholders (60 % - Holloman Value Holdings), they also provide all financing and have a lot riding on this.


Company Share Structure:

112.6 million shares fully diluted

This results in a possible share price of around 12$ when the reserves are proven after the drilling campaign ends (The stock now trades around 0,25$) ! Remember, this is only for their explored 6% acreage, the potential upside here is still much higher !

CVSL Signs Agreement To Acquire Kleeneze

DALLAS, Feb. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CVSL Inc. [NYSE MKT: CVSL] announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire Kleeneze, a United Kingdom-based direct-to-consumer company. The consummation of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the New York Stock Exchange MKT.

Kleeneze is one of the U.K.'s longest-operating, largest and best-known direct-to-consumer businesses. Founded in 1923, the company has grown into a community of more than 7,000 independent distributorships, offering a wide variety of several thousand cleaning, health, beauty, home, outdoor and other products to customers across the U.K. and Ireland. Kleeneze is a founding member of the U.K. Direct Selling Association.

Under the terms of the agreement, CVSL will purchase 100% of the shares of Kleeneze from Findel PLC. Both the CVSL and Findel boards have approved the terms. It is anticipated that closing will take place by the end of the First Quarter.

"Kleeneze has an extensive product line, a nearly century-long heritage, a well-known brand and a robust presence throughout the U.K. We believe Kleeneze will be an outstanding addition to our CVSL family of companies," said John Rochon Jr., CVSL's vice chairman and head of its investment committee. "Kleeneze gives CVSL a very significant presence in the U.K. and represents an important step forward in CVSL's international expansion."

"Becoming part of the CVSL family of companies will open an important and exciting new chapter in the long, distinguished history of Kleeneze," said Lisa Burke, Managing Director of Kleeneze. "This will allow us to be part of a global, public company, while at the same time maintaining our own unique identity. We view this as the best of all worlds," she added.

Commenting on the transaction, Roger Siddle, CEO of Findel, said: "CVSL represents a natural home for Kleeneze. We believe that this transaction is in the best interests of both Findel and Kleeneze, allowing Kleeneze to benefit from the extensive expertise and support of CVSL whilst allowing Findel to focus its resources on growing its core businesses."

With the addition of Kleeneze, CVSL will include nine companies. The combined trailing 12 month revenue of CVSL and Kleeneze, based upon the most recently reported results, as of September 30, 2014, was over $180 million.

CVSL Expects to Uplist Within Next Several Trading Days, Says Its Strategy for 2015 Will Focus on Acquisitions

Alert



DALLAS, Nov. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CVSL Inc. [OTCQX: CVSL] said today that, with its uplisting to a national securities exchange expected within several trading days, the Company intends to immediately re-focus on its acquisition strategy within the direct-to-consumer channel.

"Virtually all year we have been working on the process of uplisting to a national securities stock exchange. By our calculation, we will qualify for uplisting to a major U.S. exchange late in this coming week. We are gratified that our uplisting appears imminent," said John Rochon Jr., Vice Chairman and head of CVSL's investment committee.

"We have a robust deal funnel and we intend to get back to acquiring companies that we believe will increase our stock value. I am proud of our success in acquiring and strengthening our first eight companies and meeting uplisting requirements. Our decision to focus on moving to a major exchange in 2014 has been well worth the effort and will be possible without the immediate dilution to shareholders that would have occurred if we had consummated an S-1 offering," said Mr. Rochon.

"As we approach 2015, it's time to get back to the work of M&A. We believe it is good for shareholders for us to immediately resume making acquisitions, which we had put on hold during the past several months. We intend to fund the next several acquisitions primarily using debt as a source of capital, preserving our cash and taking all the actions we can to protect our shareholders from significant dilution."

CVSL Inc. Releases Quarterly Results

DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CVSL Inc. (OTC QX: CVSL) today released its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

"During the Second Quarter, we made steady progress in the strategy that we began with our first acquisition 15 months earlier, which is to strengthen the companies we acquire while laying the groundwork for future acquisitions," said CVSL Chairman John Rochon.

During the Second Quarter, CVSL filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to the proposed public offering of its common stock and applied to have its common stock listed on the NYSE MKT.

"We are building a large, diverse company from the ground up," said Mr. Rochon. "We want to bring future CVSL acquisitions onto a solid base. Shoring up that base is where we put most of our emphasis during the Second Quarter.

"We took important steps to reduce our overall risk. One of our top priorities was to eliminate CVSL's bank debt. I am delighted to say that we accomplished that crucial goal," said Mr. Rochon, noting that CVSL had about $8.5 million in bank debt at the beginning of 2014 and that the Company paid off its last remaining bank debt two weeks ago.

For the Second Quarter, CVSL reported a 19.5% increase in gross revenue compared to the Second Quarter of 2013. CVSL had gross revenue of $24.6 million and an operating loss of $4.1 million in the current quarter, compared to gross revenue of $20.6 million and an operating loss of $3.3 million in the Second Quarter of 2013. Gross revenue for the first six months of 2014 was $51.3 million, which is more than double that of the first half of last year.

Mr. Rochon said that, in addition to paying off bank debt, CVSL reduced inventory, monetized assets that weren't needed for the business, and continued to invest in systems and personnel to prepare for continued growth through acquisitions.

"Eliminating bank debt makes us a healthier company, better equipped to operate our businesses and make more acquisitions," said Mr. Rochon. "It gives us more freedom and flexibility to continue our growth," he added.

"The operating companies we acquired since March, 2013 needed improvements in varying degrees. We have used this time to make necessary repairs. Now we can better focus on the next acquisition opportunities," he said.

"We also have invested in new accounting and sales force systems. While some of these costs are capitalized, other costs are expensed in the period incurred. These expenditures affect short-term profitability, but we believe the benefits of these steps will last for many years," he noted.
