Major Milestones for Hispanica Over the Past Nine Months
Secured Financing for its Acquisition & Growth and Increase Cash Reserves
During 2016, the Company worked hard to secure financing for its growth and ongoing operations. To date, we have secured close to $1,000,000 in financing that was much needed to support our growing demand for our products.
ESD Acquisition and Integration
The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Energy Source Distribution, Inc. has now been fully integrated into the HISP company. The company now has a platform from where to launch our upcoming products into the State of California. We have added new distributors that purchase our other portfolio products from Northern California down to Los Angeles, CA. We intend to leverage this network, in the largest state in the U.S., to disburse our GRAN NEVADA products as well as other brands we will be adding to our portfolio.
Summary
In summary, we are committed to driving topline performance with growth products in key geographic states, advancing and augmenting our pipeline of brands and aggressively managing our cost base. By doing these things well, we will preserve the ability to invest in our future, potentially start to generate strong cash flow and drive shareholder value and return over both the short and long term. Our main goal remains to continue our growth and achieve profitability soon.
Our strategy for fiscal 2017 is to grow our existing operations, expand our proprietary portfolio of brands, and to move forward with our next strategic acquisition that will continue to expand our top line revenue growth as well as give the Company a positive cash flow operational platform. We believe that we can get to an operational positive cash flow position by year end fiscal 2018 once we’re able to introduce our new brands into the marketplace where we already have a distribution foot print and where we can branch out from there. Our proprietary brands will allow the company to increase our operating margin hence allowing the company to get to a position of positive cash flow sooner.
