Kim, something for you to ponder. It is OTC-BB but may be worthy of a Kimberly look :)
ECIC.... some DD....
Fully reporting OTCBB company.
Shares: O/S: 5.3M Public Float: 2.3M of which 1.5M is being held by insiders leaving about 800K tradable. This explains why the stock moves quickly on volume.
Eagle Capital is a company that is seeking it's fortune in developing countries... It is an undiscovered China play as well as the emerging play of business in the Balkans which are trying to recover after all the damage from the recent war.
The information below is copied from the NR on 29 Nov from Research Investment Group's (no one listened)info... I have talked to the company several times now and verified this info.
Their main source of income will be through selling the patented IMSI building system. (INTEGRATED MASONRY SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL). IMSI has developed a revolutionary new insulated masonry construction block system with distinct advantages over the traditional brick and mortar construction. The IMSI system features insulated reinforced masonry that is a mortarless and dry stacked system. These newly designed interlocking cement blocks have interior pockets where non-toxic, fireproof Polystyrene insulation is placed which dramatically increases energy efficiency while increasing structural integrity. There is no need for the use of mortar between blocks, this system instead utilizes a Structure Coat Surface Bonding Cement, which provides a weather resistant, structurally sound, and impermeable surface. These blocks can be used for all types of construction from "low end" multiple residential to "high end" beautiful custom homes as well as commercial and industrial buildings. The IMSI Block went through seven years of Research and Development at Brigham Young University and is being used for construction throughout the United States. Simply put, the IMSI building system is revolutionary. The buildings go up quickly with the help of skilled and not so skilled labor. When the structures are completed the dwellings are virtually fire proof, earthquake and hurricane resistant along with being rot proof, termite proof, sound proof and are extremely energy efficient! A superior home or building for less or the same cost as most conventional construction. With the ever increasing worldwide cost of lumber the demand for the IMSI building system should continue to escalate. Another key point is that with the cost of energy soaring throughout the world the up to 70% energy savings the IMSI system provides is unsurpassed. Mr. Chen Fu Guang with the Chinese Central Committee is the top ranking Chinese Official to approve new building products for China. Mr. Chen was recently in the United States to further relations between China and Eagle Capital International. He was quoted in the press as saying "China wastes 1.6 million metric tons of energy annually as a result of insufficient insulation. Though most of China heats its buildings only four months of the year, it uses three times as much energy for heating as the United States. The IMSI blocks would tremendously reduce energy costs in China". (Note: Eagle currently owns majority control in three IMSI licensees, China, India, and Mexico and is in the process of obtaining additional licenses either through IMSI or in partnership with existing license holders).
ECIC is focusing on establishing joint ventures with strategic Partners operating in target markets. Current strategic relationships have been established in America, Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean Basin. These current relationships will help Eagle to expand and gain more exposure in these areas, as well as gain the political benefit of "keeping it local" which would reflect very positively on the company, and the local government of the country. At the same time this will also limit Eagles outlay of capital. These actions have helped Eagle establish business relationships with prominent local business and government entities as well as specific knowledge of commercial opportunities and cultural legal and business contexts of their markets which is virtually impossible for an outside company to acquire in a timely, business generating fashion. Eagle has had three major license areas, CHINA, INDIA, and MEXICO, which they consider prime markets and have already established joint ventures in these areas.
Now, here is the new angle... after the war in the Balkans, there are companies which are falling over each other to win construction contracts in this area...
This is from the Friday, 3 Dec NR which no one seemed to pay attention to:
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec 3, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eagle Capital International (OTCBB:ECIC) is pleased to announce that they have entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with USTech Building Systems Inc. the holder of an Integrated Masonry Systems, Inc. License for the countries of Bosnia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, and the Ukraine. A similar Joint Venture Agreement for the country of Romania has been agreed to with Advantage Investments, Ltd.
These Joint Ventures will give Eagle Capital International, Ltd. a 50% interest in the aforementioned license areas held by USTech and Advantage. This agreement will allow the new Joint Ventures to fulfill agreements now in place for both Romania and Yugoslavia.
Hummmm... the reconstruction starts and who is going to cash in?
Not a rec to buy, do your own DD...
