Acquisition of Golfmax.ca The Official Web Site of the National Golf Course Owners Association
CAMFLO Resources Ltd. Shares Issued: 9,780,000 Trading Symbol: CFK (Alberta Stock Exchange) Web Site: www.camflo.com & www.eteeoff.com 1999-11-02 Close $0.40 SEC 20F (File # 0-30026)
Mr Alan Crawford reports:
Camflo Resources Ltd./eteeoff.com is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Golfmax.ca, the official web site of the National Golf Course Owners Association Canada (NGCOA), from Dansys Consultants Inc., Ottawa, Canada.
Golfmax.ca is a state of the art comprehensive golf website built by Dansys Consultants Inc., using SAS? software. Dansys has grown to become Canada's premier SAS? consulting company. The SAS Institute of Cary, North Carolina is an award-winning, industry leader in information delivery systems. SAS? provides comprehensive e-intelligence solutions to today's e-business market. Companies utilizing web-enabled SAS? Systems include the U.S. Department of Defence, the U.S. Air Force and Bell Atlantic. Dansys has invested over $1 million on Golfmax.ca development to date.
Dansys Consultants Inc. will continue to maintain and develop the Golfmax.ca site. Dansys has developed a very strong core of expertise in the area of web enabled information systems. Dennis Conly, Managing Director for over ten years and involved in information systems development for almost twenty years, heads the company.
Golfmax.ca, established on the Internet since 1996, has tailored some of the technology used in the website to other consulting projects undertaken by Dansys, including Newbridge Networks, Statistics Canada and the State of New Hampshire. Golfmax.ca is well positioned to capitalize on the future growth of e-commerce within the golf industry.
Golfmax.ca was the pioneer Canadian web site to offer an interactive tee-time booking system. Golfmax.ca's Control Center has been built for the specific use of individual golf courses. Available tee times can be interactively posted or removed and green fees can be set and adjusted. The system works in real time so that immediately upon posting tee times, golfers (Clubhouse Gold Members) can book. The primary components of Golfmax.ca include a comprehensive Golf Course Database, Scorecard Database, Golfer Database, a Search Engine, and an Administrative System.
The NGCOA represents more than 620 member courses, growing by 23% in the last year alone. The NGCOA has developed business partnerships with nearly 40 major suppliers to the golf industry. The anticipated conversion of group purchasing to e-commerce models places eteeoff.com/Golfmax.ca in a strong strategic position. Supplier agreements are in place with Spalding, Newcourt Financial, Petro-Canada, AT&T., Clearnet Communications, Toronto Dominion Bank and the Bank of Montreal amongst others.
The consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition of Golfmax.ca is CDN$250,000 together with the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of the Company, with a deemed value of CDN$0.40 and the issuance of an aggregate of 2,200,000 warrants at CDN$0.40, exercisable within 2 years. The consummation of the acquisition and the closing of the transaction are conditional upon the completion of due diligence by eteeoff.com/Camflo Resources Ltd and the receipt of regulatory and shareholder approval. Upon receipt of shareholder and regulatory approval, the current management of eteeeof.com/Camflo will be supplemented with management from within Golfmax.ca and key individuals from within the golf industry.
Currently there is no central source of e-commerce on the Internet where golf course facilities and consumers can purchase golf products and services. eteeoff.com/ Golfmax.ca fills that need, providing golf course owners, managers and superintendents an interactive trade show, which will allow them to purchase from manufacturers, distributors, consultants, architects and contractors. Rather than buying once a year, golf course owners can view and buy when the need arises. Plans for future development include auctions, and business conferencing. The trade show will be an all-encompassing business facilitator.
Golfmax.ca technology has purposefully been developed to be transferable to other countries and languages. New features of Golfmax.ca soon to be released include, Ticket2Golf, an on-line system for purchasing advanced green fees, a "members lounge" application, which allows private courses to add Golfmax.ca technology to their existing website, as well as a system for organizing tournaments on-line. In addition, the emphasis on services to consumers, (score entry, game reports, ranking, and contests) enables the regular traffic flows essential to continued commercial success. Golfmax.ca has grown from 10,000 golfer members since the beginning of 1999 to more than 17,000 members currently.
The Company will primarily earn revenues from Golfer Memberships, Consumer Show Exhibitor and Admission Fees, Consumer Transactions, Industry Admissions, Industry Show Exhibitor Fees, Industry Transactions, Advertising and on-line Tee-Time Reservations.
The acquisition of Golfmax.ca will significantly enhance eteeoff.com/Camlfo's objective of becoming the premier focus of commercial activity relating to golf on the Internet. eteeoff.com/Golfmax.ca intends to become the foremost e-commerce marketplace, establishing an entertaining, informative and interactive Internet facility which will respond to the needs of the consumer and those within the industry worldwide. While the Company provides supporting documentation to the Exchange pursuant to Section 4 of Circular 8, the shares will be halted.
