Buzz in $300 Million Pre-IPO Exchange
August 18 2008 - 11:16AM
Marketwired
Buzz Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BZTG), listing in Hong Kong,
China, is making sound progress. And the initial Information
Memorandum will be available in the coming 2 weeks. Supported by a
team of highly respected accounting, insurance, finance and
corporate professionals, the listing is coming together very well.
We expect audits of the USA corporation to be released to market
and the finalization of existing contracts exchanging ownership
rights in exchange for 300,471,362 shares @ $1, (this may or may
not vary from valuations of the Businesses, Intellectual Property,
Property and Contracts, some of these valuations are still awaiting
final appraisal) in the entity to be listed in Hong Kong. The
information memorandum will contain the current business model,
details of each business being operated and future prospects. The
declared dividend will be paid as individuals and corporations
exchange their USA equities for those in the new entity.
The introduction to the Information Memorandum flags a number of
developments that have never been detailed to the public; an
excerpt appears below;
Buzz has through necessity and opportunity grown into a diverse
group of companies, spanning a number of industries and countries.
Although on the surface it may not be immediately recognizable, the
businesses are in fact tied together in one clearly defined area:
they are all businesses that are technology dependent. Buzz has
pioneered the way in unleashing the full potential of technology in
the markets that have the least technological resources, the
emerging markets of Asia.
After starting with a VoIP service and acquiring an IT firm, we
set about building a search engine and accompanying ad delivery
platforms. Like anyone in or entering the online search and ad
business, there is one seemingly insurmountable problem. With
Google having dominated Internet search and advertising for many
years and continuing to grow stronger year after year, how does
anyone catch up? After reviewing all of the competing services we
seen an opportunity to capture the publisher market with live
customer support, free web assistance and better privacy in the
Asian Market. Problem solved? No. To enter the online ad market you
need, apart from very advanced technology, 2 distinct groups of
customers, publishers who will display your online ads, and
advertisers who will buy that ad space. As you cannot sell ad space
you do not have, you must first acquire the publishers as clients,
Problem solved? Still, no. A further and much more difficult
barrier to entering the search and online ad market is that you
must first acquire those publishers, after the publishers are using
your ad and search services you must be able to fill those ads with
revenue producing product or be happy to accept massive cash
outflows while you hunt for advertisers. This is where necessity
played its part in building Buzz.
Rather than turn our backs on one of the world's most lucrative
businesses, that of online ads and search, we decided to select a
single market, in our case Thailand, build the businesses and form
alliances to fill the ad space prior to the commencement of our
search and online ad network. After study of the local market we
decided that to fill the online ad space and make a very high
return on investment we needed a number of businesses, Real Estate,
Travel and Financial Services, the 3 key core businesses that
provided revenue from online ads. The best of the 3 businesses by
far was Real Estate. With 80% of the world's property sales being
leads generated online, we chose that business to invest in and
grow ourselves. For Travel, we partnered with Expedia and for
Financial Services initially with EasyForex and subsequently
Maritime Securities in the Bahamas.
When we launched the service in May 2008, we quickly signed The
Bangkok Post and the search and online ad network has continued to
grow since then. Our Property Division, One-2-Property has seen
enormous growth fueled by occupying Thailand's most sought after
online ad space, as have Travel and Financial Services. Our returns
on the ad network exceed all our competition in the local market
because of our own innovation and careful planning.
The ad network has now expanded into China with Travel and
Financial services being well received. Our market in China
comprises mostly Internet cafes with a male audience of 15 to 25,
this required a rethink of the Thailand model and through Amazon
and other MMORPG supplier, we have built a successful games
distribution network providing not only sales but income from
recurring monthly fees. To further cement our place in these cafes
we have also made available VoIP and other services available at
the counter. We deferred other publisher deals in Hong Kong and
China until we have opened our Real Estate offices there later this
year.
That brings us to opportunity, what we did see in Asia and
around the world were the many start-up companies looking to raise
funds. They were all or in-part to build, develop or buy
technology, and Buzz having access to the best and cheapest IT
talent in the world, this was a natural fit. It cut out almost all
downtime and generated a constant stream of work, making us, and
our contractors very busy and substantially more profitable. Thus
was born Buzz Venture Capital. Buzz Venture Capital brings together
a unique offering, IT Services, Marketing, Property and Financial
Services all under one roof. We have built a wide and substantial
portfolio of investments in companies at different stages of
development. Our early entry and deal structure have created a very
secure high value asset for the company.
