Ta ma de! Remember that China is a country where a good percentage of the population still lives on $2 or less a day and the average income per years (even with purchasing power parity) is less than $8K a year, real dollars are $2K a year. Mexico by contrast has 1 billionaire and $11K (PPP) per capita, real $8K per year.
We are currently a self-sustaining company, and debt free
Esprit Financial Group Inc. (Esprit) (EFGO.PK) Announces Forward Guidance For Canden Financial Group Inc. via COMTEX
December 18, 2007
TORONTO, Dec 18, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
Esprit Financial Group Inc. (EFGO.PK) www.espritfinancialgroup.com is pleased to announce forward guidance for Canden Financial Group Inc. (Canden). Canden is in a pre-acquisition stage to join the EFGO soon after EFGO vends out its current assets to a reporting issuer, as per previous news announcements.
Canden provides financing services related to the rental or lease of specialized beverage control solutions for the hotel and hospitality industries, on behalf of a Denmark manufacturer with which Canden is associated. This includes advanced beverage dispenser tracking systems that monitor, report and provide inventory control over beverage dispensing in a restaurant or bar environment.
In announcing the update, Canden's President and CEO Steen Elgaard stated,
"We are currently a self-sustaining company, and debt free. We see ourselves off to a solid start in Fiscal 2008, under the EFGO banner with our current guaranteed revenue coming in much higher than anticipated.
We anticipate a solid but stable growth that will end the fiscal year revenue of approximately $900,000.00 with a potential growth beyond $5 million in revenue for the fiscal year 2009, maintaining net profits in the range of approximately 27 to 28%. To date, two contracts are signed with distributors in Canada and USA.
The distributors market and sell POS and calculation, profit and control systems directly to restaurants and bars across Canada and USA, and we have distribution channels in place to ship systems direct to clients. Restaurants have the benefit of getting equipment financed, and build the rental cost into their hard earned cash-flow part of their operation. With a unique and specialized rental model, Canden is positioned as a very attractive financing business with growth in the area of 30 - 50% per year.
We are currently exploring various financing proposals and options that will enable this growth sustainability, and different ways that this rapid growth will reflect into our future share price, without dilution of our equity."
The Canden acquisition is contingent upon the completion of the asset sale and up listing of Esprit with China Good Life, which EFGO management expects to complete shortly. EFGO will then move forward with the Canden business unit as the primary operating business.
In other company news, Esprit CEO Mr. Garr Winters added, "I wish to take this opportunity to update our shareholders on the status on the asset sale and the up listing of Esprit with China Good Life. We are on schedule to finalize the transaction as planned and as announced previously, that being on or before December 31, 2007. The unprecedented news coverage received in China in Hebei Province, plus the radio and news print of the EFGO merger with Goodlife, has brought on exceptional interest from China, the Chinese community, and different entrepreneurs all across USA, Germany, Canada and the west.
This in itself has presented the EFGO management a very unique opportunity. We have been contacted by several already trading, and reporting issuers offering, the up listing of Esprit assets with China Good Life into their entities. Some of these offers have indeed caught our attention, and we wish to take a time out or a day or so to examine all offers and all available options to us before making the final decision.
We feel that to simply ignore these proposals would not be in the best interest of all concerned, and unfair to our shareholders. If the Christmas holidays were not upon us, it probably would not be necessary to make this announcement. The matter is compounded by the fact that our legal and corporate advisors will be operating on a holiday schedule from Dec. 21, 2007, to January 3rd, 2008. Again, our skeptics should not read into this as anything more than the message is, that being that we wish to examine all the available options, and to choose the best option that will benefit all concerned."
