CHDT Corp. Focusing on Consumer Product Business Line
Market Wire, December, 2007
CHDT Corp., a Florida corporation (OTCBB: CHDO)(CHDT), announced today that its Souvenir Direct, Inc. (SDI) and Capstone Industries, Inc. (CAP) subsidiaries had entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 1, 2007, to sell the operating assets of SDI to Magnet World, Inc., a Florida corporation, for $200,000 cash. These assets consisted of the promotional, gift and souvenir product business line being operated by CAP as a secondary business line to CAP's consumer product lines, which include the STP-branded power tools and automotive accessories, Capstone lighting, and Simply Comfort® products.
Gerry McClinton, Chief Operating Officer of CHDT, said, "CHDT believes that the consumer product lines of Capstone Industries are the key to achieving future and sustained profitability and that we should not divert resources to any secondary business line that does not consistently contribute to the cash flow and net income." Reid Goldstein, President of Capstone Industries, added, "The Souvenir Direct business line was never a consistently profitable business and was completely complementary to the retail and wholesale distribution channels for our consumer product lines. Moving ahead, we will focus all our resources and efforts on the business with the most potential to enhance shareholder value and achieve and sustain profitability. We believe the collective experience management possesses marketing consumer products will best allow us to leverage this potential."
The cash proceeds from the sale of the operating assets will be used to fund CAP's consumer product line marketing and sales efforts, especially the STP-branded product line.
STP® is a trademark of Clorox Corp. and is licensed to CAP for the STP-branded power tool product line.
