Key Investor Points:
Strategic Alliance: SportsStar has retained a Fortune 100 financial
institution to assist the Company in the areas of acquisitions, corporate
finance, and licensing.
Expansion Plans: SportsStar is negotiating to acquire several
businesses with cross marketing ties which are profitable in their own
right. In 1999, the Company's market and revenue stream is expected to
surge in size. In April 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of
College Bound Student Athletes, Inc. (CBSA, Inc.) positioning the
combined companies as the dominant player in the industry.
Media Focus: SportsStar entered into an agreement with Media Fund,
Inc. and Media Capital Fund I, LLC to invest $5 million in media. (press
release dated 1/5/99) This alliance will launch a major revenue
expansion program in 1999.
Dream Team:A team of seasoned experts are the driving forces behind
SportsStar, its NCRA franchise program and College Bound Student
Athletes, Inc. These seasoned experts are the driving forces behind
SportsStar and its NCRA franchise program.
A Decade of Growth: Baby boomers' kids comprise the largest student
population in U.S. history. College enrollment is projected to surge
through 2007. Last year, new college enrollment reached 1.8 million.
Market Share: Of the $58 billion/year emerging market, less than 3%
of the potential market is being served currently. There is no dominant
industry player. Management is positioning to capture the majority of
market share.
Title IX requires women's college sports to receive the same number of
scholarships as men's sports. This is a huge untapped market. It is
estimated that 1 in 3 high school girls play varsity sports.
Clear Playing Field: SportsStar's NCRA service is a nationwide
athletic scholarship assistance program offering financial aid and
scholarship placement guidance. The general academic (i.e.
non-athletic) financial aid placement market offers huge growth
potential.
