PHS Home Services, Inc. Announces Letter of Intent to Purchase Quality Oriented, Successful Sunroom Dealer in the Jacksonville, Florida Market, Further Enhancing the PHS Product Offering for Their Customer Base
Oct 25, 2006 11:51:00 AM
CINCINNATI, OH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/25/06 -- Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PKGH) (www.packagedhomesolutions.com) ("PHS" or "The Company"), is today announcing that it has agreed to terms in a Letter of Intent to purchase a well-established and successful Jacksonville, Florida Sunroom company. The Company will be acquiring Suntastic, Inc., a local company known throughout the local metropolitan area for its strong commitment to homeowners, providing them with quality service at an affordable price. Suntastic, a Craft-Bilt Dealer, has been a fixture in Jacksonville for 10 years. Their success is demonstrated with over 1000 customers and by the inordinately large number of referred customers. Atypical of the industry, Suntastic has built a sound business with limited advertising, strong attention to product installation and fiscal responsibility. The acquisition of the Sunroom Dealer allows for PHS to enhance their business interests by expanding on the Suntastic name and reputation. PHS will be merging their existing Kitchen and Bath Division in Jacksonville and adding other Exterior Products to include: Vinyl Windows, Seamless Aluminum Gutters and Gutter Protection, Vinyl Siding, Hurricane Protection and Exterior Doors.

Suntastic is trending in 2006 to improve on their almost $1.4M in Gross Revenue last year, and with the additional product offerings to the marketplace the Company has early projections for 2007 in the $4M-$5M range, 40% Gross Profit and 18% Net, within the Jacksonville Market alone. This acquisition further develops the Company's strategy of combining fixed expenses and resources, while developing multiple income streams within a sole market. This approach makes for a solid fiscal model in that all local enterprises are provided for by a central support location with state of the art systems technologies to generate real time reporting, capturing the key trends and metrics to effectively manage their initiatives.

The former management team has agreed to stay on in their current positions which further allows for other key PHS Managers to focus on the continued development of additional income streams through acquisitions. Each of the two key owners has reached terms with the Company to continue in their present managerial capacities for the next three years.

Danny Smith, President of PHS, states, "The acquisition of a company with an outstanding reputation, one that is fiscally sound, which can contribute to our strategy of being able to provide multiple services to our customers is dynamic in its own right. Yet, what makes this acquisition so much greater is the fact that we have additional income streams developing that drives a symbiotic atmosphere and business strategy. The results will be an even more diversified and stable company with fixed cost burdens reduced as a percentage of gross revenue and a low cost referral business crossing product lines. Ultimately, we will establish a database of customers far larger than any competitor, driving a traditionally high variable cost down and our net margin further upward."
