MIAMI, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuego Enterprises, Inc.

Up-to-date financial reports from Fuego Enterprises (FUGI) are available on http://www.otcmarkets.com. Highlights of financial results for the 9-month period ended February 29, 2016 vs. the same period in 2015 include:      

• 1577% increase in revenues
• Net Income positive (first time since 2010)

"Our solid financial performance completes a great chapter in positioning our company for a higher growth trajectory in the near future, and I'm very excited about the progress in our emerging businesses," states Chief Financial Officer Ed Steinback.

Fuego Enterprises (FUGI) attributes the firm's gains to improved relations between Cuba and the U.S. and the resulting boom in investment opportunities. Cuba has instituted recent economic reforms to stimulate private sector growth, and to provide a secure, transparent legal framework for foreign investors to participate in Cuban entities. Concurrently, relations between Cuba and the United States have been rapidly normalizing with the introduction of new trade and travel regulations and the restoration of diplomatic ties.

"Now that the Cuban economy is opening up to investment from the U.S., we feel the time is right to aggressively move our company forward," states Fuego CEO Hugo Cancio. "We have worked toward this for many years, and we're pleased to demonstrate our commitment to our shareholders and to the people of Cuba and the United States by showing great progress toward our goals," he adds.

An intermediary sought after by American investors, politicians, and celebrities who are going to Cuba, Mr. Cancio is a featured panelist at this week's SkyBridge Alternatives (SALT) Conference in Las Vegas, the biggest hedge fund conference of the year. On Friday, May 13, he will discuss "CUBA: The Evolution of a Revolution - An Economy in Transition." (http://www.saltconference.com/speakers/cancio.html)
