PRESS RELEASE: Greater China Corporation Announces the Financial Results of Restructuring
Dow Jones & Company, Inc. -- April 30, 2007
NEW YORK, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Greater China Corporation (OTC: GCHC.PK) has completed a corporate restructuring which provides it with a solid foundation for growth. The attached financial statements for 2005 and 2006, which have been filed with the SEC, reflect the following major accomplishments.
1. The rescission of a prior acquisition resulting in the repatriation of 17.5 million shares which can now be used to finance growth and to make acquisitions. 2. The elimination of more than $5 million in debt which otherwise would have to be repaid or converted into equity. This leaves the company with no debt. 3. The preservation of more than $6 million in loss carry-forwards available to reduce tax liabilities on future income. 4. The development of a broad base of more than 1,500 quality shareholders none of whom holds more than 5% of the shares. 5. The elimination of all dilutive instruments including options and warrants so that all results flow directly to existing shareholders. 6. The assembly of an exceptionally strong and experienced Board of Directors and Advisors all of whom are directly involved in building the Company. 7. The development of numerous business opportunities in each of seven areas of concentration. Each of these seven groups has been selected for its potential to aggregate $100 million in revenues and at least 15% in earnings within 5 years. 8. The ability to use the platform of a U.S. based public company to attract entrepreneurs, investors and strategic partners with the advantage of the liquidity of publicly traded shares.
In a communication to shareholders, John W. Allen, CEO said: "Our continuing goal has been to preserve and enhance the value of every share of Greater China stock. In spite of many suggestions to reverse-split the stock, and numerous offers to provide financing and promotion from third parties who we suspect would then have hyped and shorted the stock or otherwise disrupted legitimate market activities, we have done neither. Instead we have kept our expenses at a minimum and relied on financial and advisory assistance only from those who we know are acting in the best long-term interests of the company. Now, for the first time, we can concentrate our efforts on growing our business. It is an exciting time for all of us, and hopefully a very rewarding one for all of our shareholders."
