Despite the fact that our business model is still in its infancy, the Corporation recorded year to date revenues of $1,029,876 which is a corporate record. Furthermore, I am very pleased that the Corporation posted its first ever quarterly profit. I, and the rest of the business development team, remain focused in sourcing revenue generating assets to acquire and seeking out profitable business deals that the Corporation can enter into."

Mr. Frank Kordy stated: "I'm extremely pleased by the very strong performance that occurred in Q3. As I previously stated at our AGM, since making key operational and structural changes to the Corporation, we have gained substantial momentum in our business model throughout fiscal 2016 and thus far, throughout fiscal 2017. This momentum is reflected in the dramatic increase in the Corporation's 'Total Assets' ledger and can easily be seen by the Corporation's rapidly increasing revenue streams. The Management team will continue to work hard in advancing the Corporation forward and we will remain focused on increasing the Corporation's asset pool and incoming revenue streams."
