CAOL NEWS: Steady Progress/Keeping their word (OTC BB:CAOL) has now completed the acquisition of 3 Online Lottery Kiosks in Guangzhou, China. CathayOnline intends on acquiring an additional 5 Lottery Kiosks for the month of July. CathayOnline Inc. has projected to acquire approximately 50 operational Lottery Kiosks in the next six months, which, when fully operational, are expected to generate in excess of US $450,000 net annualized income (Earning Before Interest Taxes & Depreciation - EBITDA). The second phase of the Company's plan calls for the acquisitions of 150 additional operating Lottery Kiosks in the second half of the Company's fiscal year. When this phase is completed, the total annualized net income (EBITDA) is projected between US $1.75 million and US $2.25 million. The lottery industry in China is in its infancy--with only some 6% of the Chinese estimated to have tried their hand at lotteries, compared to 85% of the Americans. Revenue generated from sale of lottery tickets is a growing industry. China, with its huge population (1.3 billion) speaks for itself in terms of potential revenue that would be generated once more significant market penetration has been achieved. In the last nine months alone US $1.3 billion in welfare lottery cards were sold in China. This project confirms the focus of the Company to engage in business that provides significant cash flow opportunities and established management.
