However, we now have formulated the changes necessary, have a clear direction, and are very excited about initiating our relationship. Additionally, we believe are also ready to move forward with CUBO assignees on our drilling programs aimed at the Ellenburger formation in the TUBB Lease and the seismic study, as prep for plans for the drilling of the Barnett Formation." He also stated, "We also plan to complete the sale for 51% majority interest in our Arctic Solar subsidiary to W2 Energy, Inc. within the next several days now that both parties have completed their required audited year-end and unaudited first quarter financial statements.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Names RELM Wireless as a Supplier
4/2/2012
7 hours 26 minutes ago - Close-Up Media via Comtex
RELM Wireless Corp. announced that it has been named as a supplier under the Tactical Communications (TacCom) contract issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
According to a release, the contract is for the procurement of P25 digital two-way radios and related equipment by all agencies of the DHS, as well as certain other non-DHS agencies, such as the U.S. Departments of Justice, State, Interior, and the White House Communications Agency. The maximum total value of the contract is $3 billion with a two-year base period commencing on March 26, and three one-year option periods from March 26, 2014 through March 26, 2017.
The TacCom contract names a select group of suppliers, including RELM, that meet established qualifications. The contract also contains guidelines intended to assure that qualified small business suppliers are the beneficiaries of a portion of the equipment procurements made under the contract. RELM is one of only three companies designated by the contract as a qualified small business supplier for subscriber equipment (i.e. portable and mobile two-way radios). The contract does not specify purchase dates or quantities of equipment from any particular named supplier.
RELM President and Chief Executive Officer David Storey said, "We are excited to be part of the DHS TacCom contract. Achieving this result has been among our highest priorities and the focus of intense effort over the past year. In particular and of critical importance, our team successfully convinced DHS to incorporate small business criteria for radio equipment purchases. Consequently, a portion of radio procurements under the contract must be made from small businesses. Significantly, RELM is one of only three suppliers to receive this designation."
Storey continued, "DHS indicates that TacCom has been implemented to serve as their primary contract vehicle for procuring two-way communications equipment. We understand a range of other agencies plan to utilize it as well. As our progress in successfully cultivating sales with new customers and markets has been painstakingly slow and frustrating, this contract can be a portal to help stimulate potential sales growth. Now the real work begins; connecting with these potential new customers and making them believers in our exceptional products, capabilities and value; a process that is already underway."

WEST MELBOURNE, Fla., March 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RELM Wireless Corporation (NYSE Amex: RWC) today announced that it has been named as a supplier under the Tactical Communications (TacCom) contract issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The contract is for the procurement of P25 digital two-way radios and related equipment by all agencies of the DHS, as well as certain other non-DHS agencies, such as the U.S. Departments of Justice, State, Interior, and the White House Communications Agency. The maximum total value of the contract is $3 billion with a two-year base period commencing on March 26, 2012, and three one-year option periods from March 26, 2014 through March 26, 2017.
The TacCom contract names a select group of suppliers, including RELM, that meet established qualifications. The contract also contains guidelines intended to assure that qualified small business suppliers are the beneficiaries of a portion of the equipment procurements made under the contract. RELM is one of only three companies designated by the contract as a qualified small business supplier for subscriber equipment (i.e. portable and mobile two-way radios). The contract does not specify purchase dates or quantities of equipment from any particular named supplier.
RELM President and Chief Executive Officer David Storey commented, "We are excited to be part of the DHS TacCom contract. Achieving this result has been among our highest priorities and the focus of intense effort over the past year. In particular and of critical importance, our team successfully convinced DHS to incorporate small business criteria for radio equipment purchases. Consequently, a portion of radio procurements under the contract must be made from small businesses. Significantly, RELM is one of only three suppliers to receive this designation."
Mr. Storey continued, "DHS indicates that TacCom has been implemented to serve as their primary contract vehicle for procuring two-way communications equipment. We understand a range of other agencies plan to utilize it as well. As our progress in successfully cultivating sales with new customers and markets has been painstakingly slow and frustrating, this contract can be a portal to help stimulate potential sales growth. Now the real work begins; connecting with these potential new customers and making them believers in our exceptional products, capabilities and value; a process that is already underway."

Although I did not agree with Mr.Vincent decision of selling Flint’s subsidiaries companies, I do think he’s smart in his strategic decisions. His strategic moves have brought his company sharing to a new high at this moment as they are not bound to invest more capitals funding in these subsidiaries but at the same time bring in more profit for the company’s stakeholders. With this, it’s clearly can be seen that the company’s common stock is way under value and this would raise a question of whether or not his next strategic moves would be buying back these common stocks? What are Vincent’s next business strategies? These are the compelling questions we all be interested to find out. Who knows what the future brings but really, these are some smart business decisions we’ve ever seen. Who’s know?

After many thorough research and conversations with Connect2family's senior level management , I felt that the company have achieved their goal set during year past. They signed many important business agreements with US, India and Vietnam and see their goals a reality. With over 1000 well established money transfer agents in Australia and 50 plus service locations in the US along with many major banking business partners in VietNam this is a very good business foundation for the long term success of the company. I'm eagerly awaiting their 2011 4th quarter Income Report coming out from SCB Bank VietNam sometime this March 2012. If they hit their targets in 4Q 2011, their projected success in 1st Quarter will be tremendously huge. The 1stQuarter is of Chinese NewYear, that when they see biggest spike of money transfer activities through their companies.

Transaction Management, LLC (TMLLC) (www.transactionmgmt.com) for EmpaSys
Vincent Browne, Chairman and CEO of Flint Telecom Group, added, "The synergy of the relationship with TMLLC and EmpaSys™ products and services is an opportunity for both companies to expand network locations, services and customers and to grow respective revenues and profits moving forward. We believe that EmpaSys™ brings a fully complimentary service to what we do now and plan to do in the future. This allows our clients and customers to access a wider selection of merchant locations to load and reload their prepaid cards. It further underpins our mobile money transfers and prepaid card programs in partnership with leading banking and marketing partners around the world. The global prepaid card market is experiencing huge growth and we are positioning to take our share of it over the next few years.
Mr. Browne added, ”As we rollout our prepaid cards and money transfer services with our co-sponsors we will earn a fee on every customer transaction on our partner cards and now EmpaSys™ products also. Our previously announced partner launches have been negatively impacted by the longer than anticipated completion of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as our partners wanted to ensure they had a strong partner prior to launching such a strategic offering to their customers. With access to the $15 million Kodiak equity line now in place, we expect that the renewed activity with our partners in the U.S., India and Vietnam coupled with this new channel, will have a direct effect on group revenues and margins as they are rolled out through in the second half of this year, helping us towards our previously announced targets of processing over $2 million in daily transactions by the end of calendar 2011, from which Flint will receive approximately 1% in fees.”
http://www.transactionmgmt.com/pr06222011.aspx
Vincent Browne, Chairman and CEO of Flint Telecom Group, commented, "We are very pleased to partner with American First Equity and its affiliates so early in our relationship with EmpaSys™. This is an excellent opportunity for Flint to partner with leading companies that have been operating for many years that have built up loyal customer bases that trust and rely on them and MerchantOne to successfully run their businesses on a daily basis. We now have the ability to participate in the thousands of transactions per day by American First Equity customers delivering immediate revenue opportunities for Flint. In addition, Flint's own prepaid card and mobile customers will be able to use these locations to reload our cards and 'Flint Mobile' airtime and also to shop in their stores creating a true 'win-win' situation for both companies. We look forward to being a strong and reliable partner to American First Equity and their partners for a long time as we jointly build on each other's strengths."
Mr. Browne concluded, "It is too early to say exactly how much revenue Flint will generate from this relationship in the short term but we expect that the existing market reach of American First Equity and MerchantOne will bring high growth and sustainable revenues starting immediately. This is yet another step toward our stated target of processing in excess of $2 million in daily customer transactions by the end of 2011 from which Flint will generate approximately 1% in fees. If fully achieved, this would see Flint record over $7 million in annual recurring revenues with approximately $3 million in net income from our financial transaction processing segment."

This is a service of the Connect2Family™ Prepaid MasterCard which provides the facility to:
Load funds to your Connect2Family™ Card
Register up to 3 family member bank accounts in Vietnam (and other countries soon)
Transfer funds direct to the family member’s account in any bank in VietNam
This service is charged at a fixed fee of just $5- regardless of how of the funds transferred or how much is transferred.
There is no foreign exchange mark-up.
The family member can withdraw the funds immediately in Vietnam-with no charges to pay at the bank. If the family member has a card issued by their bank in Vietnam they can also access their funds from an ATM at any time or use their debit card for purchases.

2. Cash To Cash- $10 regardless of the amount transferred
Cash To Cash provides you with a service to send money to almost any country in the world (including Vietnam) but unlike the Connect2Family™ Prepaid MasterCard the money is sent to an agent-usually a bank, where your recipient collects the funds that you have transferred. When you are transferring the funds you can chose a pick up location that is most convenient to your recipient. Depending on the country this service takes between 1 and 3 days.
The good news is that this service is low cost and bank guaranteed.
This service is charged at a fixed fee of $10 and there is no foreign exchange mark-up
Funds are sent in US dollars but received in the receiving country’s currency
Federal authorities govern the amount and frequency of funds that can be sent but currently this amount is a maximum of $1,500 at a time with a monthly maximum of $5,000.

gltaihub
After many phone conversations with Connect2family I finally got connected to a lady service rep whose nice and delightful manner willingly transferred my call to a gentleman who in charged of Australia and North America markets. He informed me the market in Australia has been well developed to over 1000 agents/locations where only have around 400K Vietnamese, a few million Indians along with other "major" minor ethnic communities scattered all over Australia since 2010. Since the end of 2011, they have explored North America specifically United States' markets. This market has huge potential financially where more than a 1 million Vietnamese American and a few million Indian American are of residence. In such a few short months since the end of 2011 to March 2012, they have been establishing more than 50 service locations in the West Coast specifically in California and continuing to expand further. The next wave of expansion comes April and May where each time there will be at least 50 -100 service locations established in the West Coast. Their business strategies are aiming not only the huge remittance market among the minor communities such as Vietnamese and Indian but also aggressively expanding further to other ethnicity such as Mexican and others.
My personal assessment, this company has huge potential growth financially based on their utmost decisive strategies in picking and choosing their potential geographical locations and markets. Their strategies in exceptional customer service along with fast, reliable and low service cost are of one of the many strategies that this company have been applied that will overtake their main competitors in Western Union, etc.., in a foreseeable years to come. Their strategies will enable them to run from a $500Mil company to become another entity of AMEX exchange in a few years. If you are from the West Coast, look out for their commercial ads to be run sometime on some main TV Networks locally.
I hope there's some good news from Mr.Vincent soon.
