- GENERAL BUSINESS INFO -
In 1998, JNNE expects to be one only 2.5% of all OTC:BB companies that report
positive earnings.
JNNE derives recurring income from 2 interactive information technology sources:
1) ADVERTISING REVENUES- This core business is an interactive information
technology system. The recent acquisition of COMMUNITY MARQUEE represents
the cornerstone around which other acquisitions will be developed. Negotiations are
presently underway to acquire another existing advertising/marketing business located in
Southern California.
This interactive information technology system operates in public locations. Advertisers
pay a yearly fee. In return, they get an illuminated interactive advertising/communication
center located in high traffic areas that target particular machete segments. Consumers
see the ads and can inquire or respond instantly for reservations, appointments, new
accounts, deliveries, requested catalogs, job-banks, or any of the other products and
services advertised. Current advertisers include many nationally known companies.
Gross margins are projected in the 60%-70% range with a majority of the annual ad fee
paid up front, which acts to self-finance each system.
JNNE currently markets to community colleges and universities in Southern California
with intentions to expand into other states as rapidly as possible. JNNE is already in
negotiations with fifteen new universities. JNNE has also entered into marketing alliances
with five regional advertising agencies across the U.S. Additional locations
currently under consideration include shopping centers, amusement parks, hotels, and
airports.
The direct response aspect of this interactive system can also generate computerized
databases for lead generation to provide advertisers with cost effective follow up and
additional sales opportunities. Mailing list databases, consumer surveys, and other
automated features can also be used.
Current advertisers on the system include the U.S. Army Recruitment Offices,
Enterprise Rental Car, Great Western Savings, National University, Manpower Inc.
[NYSE:MAN - news], Temporary Employment Agency, Round Table Pizza and a host
of independent businesses.
Revenues in 1998 from this core business are expected to be about $1.3 Million with
Net Earnings of about $156,600.
Revenues for 1999 for this segment are expected to be about $3 Million with Net
Earnings of about $360,000.
Revenues for 2000 for this segment are expected to be about $7 Million with Net
Earnings of about $840,000.
2) ROYALTY REVENUES from Royal West Sales -
JNNE worked with Royal West Sales to develop a financial services agreement
between COSTCO Wholesale and a leading residential real estate computer loan
originator under the direction of Gary Stines, Executive Vice President of Royal West.
Royal West Sales, Inc. is a sales representative and consultant to worldwide consumer
electronics enterprises which include Orion Electronics, TEAC Consumer Products,
Kiwi Computers and Sansui Electronics among others.
As part of that agreement, JNNE receives a percentage of ongoing revenues (royalties)
that are generated from mortgage loan fees charged to borrowers. COSTCO offers
mortgage loans to their members. Customary mortgage fees of about 1% of the total
mortgage loan are charged to the borrower.
However, COSTCO offers their members an incentive in which the member can get
part of the mortgage loan fee rebated to them when they go through COSTCO for their
home loan. This is a substantial savings to the member.
Royal West Sales and JNNE share part of the remaining fee. On a typical loan of
$180,000 the average amount JNNE receives is about $65.
In the first 6 months that COSTCO has offered this program (during which the program
was offered to a limited part of COSTCO membership), they have processed $1 Billion
in loans.
COSTCO is pleased with program and expect to open it up to all of their members,
which now number over 15 million people.
During the year of 1998, it appears that COSTCO will process $3 - $4 Billion in loans.
That means that in 1998, JNNE could receive about $1.08 Million to $1.44 Million in
royalty income from the COSTCO marketing program.
In 1999, COSTCO expects to process about $35 Billion in loans. Accordingly, JNNE
royalty income would amount to about $12.63 Million.
