Operating Highlights:
Peak pursued its business plan in 2012 along both its Chinese and North American growth paths. Good progress was made towards achieving the plan objectives through the first three quarters of the year. However, unexpected additional investment in China and less than anticipated cash flows resulted in a liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of the year. The Company responded by devoting a large part of its efforts to arranging for short and longer-term financing. Four short-term financings were completed in the first five months of fiscal 2013. Additional short-term financing and a longer-term financing of up to US $6 million are in the process of being completed as of the date of this earnings release.
“China Unicom-s selection of the AiNi Mobile Cloud Platform for its proprietary mobile apps offering provides us with a unique opportunity to grow our future revenue streams”, said Johnson Joseph, Peak-s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The China Unicom deal also led us to the proposed acquisition of LongKey. Peak and LongKey have recognized that it is in their mutual best interests to solidify their relationship in order to more easily attract the investment needed to expand the Chinese operations and meet the demands of being a national China Unicom partner” he explained.
“Peak-s main focus in 2013 will be to complete the acquisition of LongKey and close the announced US$6 million financing”, Mr. Joseph continued. “Peak and LongKey will then be in a position to open sales support offices in several provinces and expand the rollout of AiNi on China Unicom 3G devices. All of this in turn, is expected to have a significant positive impact on the Company-s revenues in 2013”, he added.
