Business Updates
In February, the Company announced plans to assume administrative duties relating to financing processing, which had previously been outsourced to a third party. This transition is now complete and management expects the impact to be materially positive to its financial results going forward, accelerating its path to profitability and overall margin expansion.
ePunk's primary focus during 2012 is to increase consumer traffic to its www.CountyImports.com website where they will benefit from better service, superior products and more competitive pricing. Management believes this will result in greater customer loyalty and repeat business, and is core to its commitment in driving revenue growth and shareholder value.
The business remains on track to launch BidPunk.com, a power sports penny auction with tremendous synergy to its CountyImports online business, as well as its brick-and-mortar shop based in Dana Point, California, PCH Rides. "Through the development and expansion of these businesses, we intend to add products and services to our mix, creating greater appeal and value to our customers. We will remain dedicated in our product development and offering to creating superior performing products unmatched in the marketplace at prices that are affordable for consumers in an economic environment which remains challenging," Gonzales added.
