Palomar Enterprises Announces Update to Shareholders
CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Palomar Enterprises, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PLMA), has provided the following review and update of information for shareholders of Palomar Enterprises, regarding their new business model as well as Company restructuring.
Over the last few months, we have decided to move forward with a new business model and to restructure Palomar Enterprises. This restructuring is being done in a fashion that will maximize our effectiveness in the marketplace as well as provide tangible benefits to our shareholders in the form of stock dividends. In addition to dividends to shareholders, we expect Palomar to continue its growth in an exponential fashion with regard to our bottom line. Each area of our initiatives are outlined as follows:
Stock Dividends
Our wholly owned subsidiary, The BlackHawk Fund (OTC Bulletin Board: BHWF) will be spun off into its own publicly-traded entity and a dividend paid to our shareholders of record. The BlackHawk Fund (www.blackhawkfund.com) operates as a Business Development Company, by incubating, developing, and acquiring Portfolio Companies that are synergistic with The Company's business model. The BlackHawk Fund takes a lead role in the financing, development, and management of these Portfolio Companies in return for a majority equity interest in each company. Once the Portfolio Company has succeeded in its business plan, The BlackHawk Fund will assist in the process of taking the Portfolio Company public. This will enable the portfolio company that is spun out to obtain a higher market valuation for the equity position held by The BlackHawk Fund. As mentioned in our November 28th, 2006 news release, a dividend in each one of the portfolio companies will be paid to shareholders. At this time, The BlackHawk Fund has signed a Business Development Agreement with Maximum Impact Television Group. The Black Hawk Fund will receive 100% of the revenue and share in the profits from all media properties produced with Maximum Impact, which had annual sales of $13 million last fiscal year. Maximum Impact Television Group has several media properties and cable television shows that will be acquired and spun off into their own publicly traded entities by The BlackHawk Fund. The key point is that shareholders of Palomar Enterprises, as of the record date will receive a dividend of registered shares of The BlackHawk Fund.
While the specifics are not public knowledge yet, Palomar Enterprises is setting up yet another fund similar to The BlackHawk Fund that will also be spun out and publicly traded later next year. So the bottom line is, ownership of Palomar Enterprises will allow their shareholders ownership in several companies over the coming 6-18 months. Details regarding this new fund will be forthcoming in the following months.
Finally, while many companies have pursued this same strategy (or announcing that they were), we are one of the very few that actually have the resources to produce the results we are expecting and communicating to our shareholders. Our spun off companies plan to be fully reporting and trading on the OTC BB.
REAL ESTATE
The main core of Palomar Enterprises' business is real estate. We currently have over $2,000,000 in real estate holdings that will be sold over the next few months that will generate nearly a half of a million dollars in profits. The biggest part of our business that we foresee generating significant revenue and profits is the ever-increasing foreclosure market in the Midwestern US. We expect the foreclosure market growth to continue for the next 3-5 years. We have worked very hard to get ourselves positioned with HUD agents and bank owned properties, to take advantage of this increasing foreclosure market. Our last two quarters have reflected the success of this part of our business. We have bought and sold foreclosed residential properties in the Midwestern US and have increased our profit margins during the last 6 months. Essentially the way the business works is: We purchased properties at 20% to 40% below market values. Following completion of minor cosmetic improvements, the properties are immediately placed on the market for sale. The Company now has a backlog of qualified buyers seeking to purchase the inventory of properties acquired by Palomar for resale. Palomar has purchased several more properties over the last 2 months. These properties are being upgraded and will be sold over the next 2 to 3 months. We will continue to cycle these properties as well as increase the number of properties we are looking at purchasing over the next several months. We are also going to expand our foreclosure business into Southern California where the opportunities for larger profits are much greater. We also have other properties that will be utilized for development of a wide range of housing options in the Southern California area. And, in the near future, we expect to announce new relationships that will take our foreclosure business division to a level significantly higher than we are currently operating at.
Financial Results
Palomar Enterprises, Inc. has reported gains in revenue of 67% in the third quarter 2006, compared to the same period 2005. Our revenue increase was a result of successful implementation of our real estate plan outlined above. More specifically, our revenues of $612,177 for the first three quarters of 2006 were significantly higher (42%) than the same period a year ago. As far as the bottom line is concerned, our gross profit for the nine months ending 9-30-2006, compared to the same period last year increased to $222,253, up from $109,980 for that same period of a year ago. So clearly, we are headed in the right direction. We expect to continue this growth through the fourth quarter of this year and for at least the next few quarters.
Business Development
We have pretty well covered this but essentially we are going to develop our businesses in the following fashion:
- Growth of Palomar Enterprises will be through revenues generated by our
growing real estate business as well as our ownership of Funds which
will be developed and spun off. A dividend of shares will be paid to
our shareholders in each one of these Funds that are established.
- Growth of our publicly traded funds will be generated through
acquisitions, incubation then ownership of the spun-off companies.
And, again, shareholders of the Funds will receive a dividend of shares
of each company spun off from the Fund.
- Shareholder value will be established by ownership of Palomar which in
turn, will lead to ownership in the publicly traded funds as well as
the spun off companies from those Funds. Again, our spun off Funds
will be publicly traded OTC BB companies.
