QUEENCREEK, AZ — (Marketwired) — 11/26/13 — WindPower Innovations, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: WPNV) announced today that its Chief Executive Officer has provided the following Letter to WindPower–s shareholders
Dear Shareholders;
This has been a banner year for your Company! During the last twelve months your management team has undertaken major steps to enhance the value of our Company for the benefit of our shareholders.
Consistent with our business plan to acquire operating companies that are scalable and could benefit from our access to capital and management expertise on April 19th, 2013 we acquired RIG Construction, Inc. d/b/a Cameo Pools (“Cameo”) a well known swimming pool construction and renovation Company who–s brand is over 37 years old. Prior to our acquisition Cameo had annual sales of almost $ 5 million dollars, losses of $450,000 in 2012 and $180,000 in fiscal 2013 and was saddled with almost $1.4 million in debt. During the two quarters since our acquisition we raised almost $1.2 million in debt and equity for Cameo, paid down the debt and increased sales and net income. As of September 30th, 2013 our backlog in customers sold had increased 72% over the same quarter last year. In the first quarter since the acquisitions (quarter ended June 30th, 2013) we trimmed Cameo–s losses to $539 and in the quarter ended September we earned a profit of over $147,000.00 Cameo is now entering its slowest season of the year and we are reducing expenses to somewhat compensate for the expected lower revenue in the quarter ending December 31, 2013. We expect Cameo to post revenues in excess of $ 6.5 million and net income of $500,000 in fiscal 2014 (October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013).
Our renewable energy division (WindPower Solutions, Inc.) has finally begun to receive payments for its signature wind turbine that was installed in 2012 in Palm Desert. We hired Nicholas Palumbo as our Vice President for business development and expanded our offerings with solar power through a joint venture partnership with CES. These types of transactions take time to develop but once closed will provide revenue and income for the longer term. While it is too early to make predictions as to revenue and earnings for the division we are confident that we will post significant improvements in revenue and net income from this division in fiscal 2014.
We entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire GearStar Performance, Inc. a remanufacturer of gearboxes for the automotive and wind turbine industries located in Ohio. GearStar is anticipated to have gross revenue of $1.5 million dollars and net income of $350,000 in calendar year 2013. Discussions are ongoing and management anticipates that final terms may be reached before the end of the year.
We retained the accounting firm of Malone-Bailey. LLP with the intent of performing audits on the books and records of the Company so that we can become fully reporting and move up from the “Pinks” to the OTCQB in the not too distant future. At the present time management is conserving cash for the slower winter months for its Cameo division and may elect to delay the completion of the audit until sometime in calendar 2014.
The Company–s stock has performed better than in any recent previous year as a reflection of the market–s recognition of your Company–s accomplishments. We are now a public company that has, assets, revenue and earnings and is poised for additional growth as we continue to execute our business plans. I, as CEO of our Company want to take this time to thank our loyal shareholders for their support and look forward to meeting many of you at our annual shareholders meeting which will be help sometime in the spring of 2014.
