EFGO

Monarc Corporation (Monarc) Previously Esprit Financial Group (EFGO.PK - new ticker symbol pending) To Retain IFGX Division
5:00a ET January 10, 2008 (PR NewsWire)
Monarc Corporation announced today that it has successfully negotiated the rights to retain ownership of Esprit's IFGX division, which specializes in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A).

Incoming CEO Steen Elgaard advises; "This is an 11th hour development that is very exciting for us. In our discussions with Garr Winters, we became familiar with the IFGX division that he had set up under the EFGO umbrella. When we found out that the IFGX division owned two SB2 qualified shell companies Pristine 1, and Pristine 2, plus 2 eligible shells Harbour 1 and Harbour 2 our interest was piqued.

As it happens, we have been approached by several companies from Denmark seeking to go public in the U.S. While this is not our core business, we didn't want to pass up such an ideal opportunity. The final piece of the puzzle came together when Mr. Winters brokered an agreement with the Mina Mar Group to quarterback these reverse merger opportunities as needed".

Incoming CEO Steen Elgaard, originally from Denmark, has previously worked in the mergers and acquisitions sector, most particularly with K. Kapital Group Inc. His reputation and extensive network of contacts provided the impetus for these M&A opportunities.

Elgaard added; "Garr had put together an excellent asset in the IFGX division, with significant business opportunities. We are in his debt for putting this package together on our behalf in a manner that provides benefits to all parties involved.

Furthermore, we were very impressed with his concept of providing existing EFGO shareholders with a special stock dividend in the new Pink Sheet Company acquiring Esprit's assets. In my experience I see this as one of the most innovative ways to provide shareholders with added value for their long term loyalty. This very unique model the new management may adopt, and our plans are to offer Monarc shareholders special stock dividends in the IFGX owned shells as they are spun off in the future. My commitment is to endeavor to continue enhancing shareholder value any way we can."

Fuego Entertainment Acquires 15 "Lost", Never Before Released, Recordings by The Beatles
Jan 10, 2008 6:00:00 AM
View Additional ProfilesMIAMI, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/10/08 -- Fuego Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: FUGO) today announced it has acquired 15 tracks of previously unreleased music by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, "The Beatles." The recordings were made in 1962, a short time before their signing with E.M.I., during the FAB FOUR'S first live appearance together at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany playing before a small audience of about twenty to thirty people. The original tape of this live recording was "lost" for over 33 years in the record and tape collection of legendary music producer and promoter Mr. Jeffrey Collins.

The Star Club Hamburg recorded most groups that appeared at their club in the late 50s and early 60s under a performance contract that included payment in full for any live recordings made at their club. Many of these recordings were released by Polydor (West Germany). However this particular tape was sold along with several others to Jeffrey Collins, of the Collins Organization, a booking agency in London, England. The original idea was that the tapes would be used to promote the Star Club as a venue and the groups to other clubs that the Collins Organization used. The tapes were in fact not touched until 1994 when, with the release of the B.B.C. tapes and a renewed interest in The Beatles, Mr. Jeffrey Collins decided to search for the lost tapes.

This 15 track set was recorded at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany a short while after the Ted Taylor recordings and boast different and perhaps better takes of "A Taste of Honey" and "Hippy Hippy Shake" (using Tony Sheridan as a 5th Beatle). These are the only two songs found on the original Star Club releases with which this recording should not be confused.

This is an historical recording because it was the very first time that Ringo Starr actually played with The Beatles "live" after replacing Pete Best on the drums.

Other tracks make good use of Kingsize Taylor's Band "The Dominoes" who utilize their piano on such Beatles favorites as "Money," "Twist and Shout" and "I Saw Her Standing There" all of which were subsequently used on The Beatles' first studio recordings for E.M.I.

What makes this album truly unique are the eight songs not available on any previously released L.P.s or singles -- which include Paul McCartney singing Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues" and George Harrison vocalizing Maurice Williams' "Do You Believe." One of the most outstanding tracks on this album must be "Ask Me Why" showing just how John Lennon and Paul McCartney became such a winning combination.

The complete list of all the tracks, the complete story of how this "lost" tape from The Beatles came into the possession of Mr. Jeffrey Collins and sound clips from several of the recordings from this album will soon be available on our Fuego Entertainment, Inc. web site at http://www.FuegoEntertainment.net. When you enter the web site click on the "Fuego Plus" menu button.

"I am delighted to be given the opportunity to work with such professional businessmen within the Fuego Entertainment Organization and I am truly looking forward to running the new joint venture and achieving the goals that we will set for ourselves," said Jeffrey Collins.

"Our previously announced Joint Venture with Mr. Collins's Echo Vista Group, incorporates into our exciting music library an extraordinary, diverse, valuable catalog of music. In some cases, never released recorded music, The Beatles is only one example. I'm extremely excited about this acquisition and the future release of this historical Beatles album. They are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed music groups in the history of popular music," stated Hugo Cancio, President & CEO of Fuego Entertainment.

This one of a kind historical album will be released under the Echo-Fuego joint venture, a majority control music division of Fuego Entertainment. A release date will be announced in the near future.

Fuego Entertainment, Inc. is engaged in the production, acquisition, marketing, sales, and distribution of entertainment products such as short films, documentaries, television shows, music, and tour productions.

Execute Sports Projects 37 Percent Growth in Core Water Sports Revenue for 2007


Thursday, January 10 2008 7:00 AM, EST PrimeNewswire "PrimeNewswire "
TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 10, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Execute Sports Inc. ("Execute") (OTCBB:EXCS), a company engaged in the design, manufacturing and sale of water sports products, today announced that it projects revenue growth of approximately 37 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 in its core water sports business, which includes wetsuits, vests, and rash guards. The Company's Sugar Sand line of water-jet boats, which it acquired late in the third quarter, began shipping against its initial orders for 114 boats. However, due the holidays, it was only able to deliver approximately 20 boats and expects to satisfy the remaining orders in 2008.
Revenue of Execute's core water sports merchandise was boosted by increased sales of its branded life vests and the newly designed rash guard program. In addition to increasing sales with existing customers, the Company was successful in expanding its marine dealers, pro shops and small chain stores network. Further improving revenue were Internet sales and sales of OEM products.
Geno Apicella, CEO of Execute Sports, commented, "During 2007, we added new products to further penetrate our existing customer base by capitalizing on internal relationships and product visibility. Our products sold well and we were also able to expand profit margins. With this as a basis, we are planning to add new products and expand existing lines."
Current projections for 2008 indicate revenue from Execute's core water sports products could increase another 40 percent over 2007 levels, with further increases possibly coming from re-orders as initial inventory is purchased and restocking during the year and into the fall and winter seasons takes place. Orders for all established OEM branded items have already increased, and the company also intends to add new OEM customers.
Mr. Apicella further added, "We introduced new and improved products for the 2008 to our existing customers, in addition to introducing our line to select sporting goods stores and dealers that we think would be a perfect fit for our new line. We have increased our inventory to further support our 'on-line' effort and accommodate immediate deliveries. This will allow us to sell more products for longer periods of time."
Execute Sports is working towards greater domestic and international exposure and product acceptance through increased magazine advertisements and coverage, further product placement intro television shows and on-line visibility. In 2008, Execute branded products will be in more stores domestically and internationally.
About Execute Sports, Inc.
Based in Torrance, California , Execute Sports, Inc. design, develops, and manufactures of water sports products including wetsuits, vests, and rash guards for the action sports industry and water-jet powered boats. The Company's brands include Execute Wetsuits, Vests, Accessories and Wakeskates for action sports and Sugar Sand water-jet boats.

Peerless Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: PRLS) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its intellectual property (IP) and other assets to its long-time customer, Kyocera Mita Corporation, for $37 million in cash. The IP and assets relate to Peerless' digital imaging software, and include all of Peerless' patents, as well as specific fixed assets. The agreement also states that Kyocera Mita will issue to Peerless a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual and royalty-free license on the transferred technologies, which will allow Peerless to continue serving current and prospective OEM customers, as well as develop new IP for use in future products and services. In addition, as part of the agreement, a subsidiary of Kyocera Mita will sublease a substantial portion Peerless' El Segundo, Calif. facilities.

Completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of Peerless shareholders, and the transfer to Kyocera Mita of at least 30 Peerless employees who have been involved in the development of Kyocera Mita's products or otherwise have been designated by both companies. The transaction is scheduled to close before June 30, 2008. Peerless intends to hold a shareholders meeting prior to that date and will file with the SEC and mail to the shareholders a proxy statement in connection with the transaction.

Rick Roll, president and chief executive officer of Peerless, said, "This agreement represents a key strategic accomplishment for both companies. We have been highly focused on entering emerging, high-growth segments of the digital imaging industry, and this transaction provides us with a large infusion of capital that will be vital in the execution of our diversification strategy. Moreover, the IP license issued back to us from Kyocera Mita will allow us to maintain our core business and continue to work with our existing and potentially new OEM customers in the development of new digital imaging products."

Katsumi Komaguchi, president of Kyocera Mita Corporation, said, "We have been working with Peerless Systems for several years on development of an advanced suite of new imaging technologies. This transaction will allow us to fully leverage those technologies, and the skills of the engineers who helped develop them, as we prepare to introduce future families of advanced document imaging devices."

Roll said, "Today's transaction represents a critical development for the future of our company and shareholders. We are encouraged by the progress we have made at positioning Peerless for new opportunities and future growth. Our strengthened financial position greatly enhances our ability to pursue additional prospective transactions that are aligned with our long-term strategy."

Roll added, "We believe this transaction unlocks value within the Company that was not being fully appreciated by the market. As we free-up this pool of capital, we intend to redeploy it to fund both organic and external growth. We also plan to redistribute a portion of the proceeds from this transaction to shareholders either through stock repurchases or dividends. We are evaluating a range of options to return capital to shareholders and we expect to finalize our initial plan within the next 60 to 90 days. We intend to maintain our financial flexibility as we evaluate a number of interesting strategic acquisition and investment opportunities. Suffice it to say, management and the Board remain committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value."

The net after-tax proceeds from the Kyocera Mita asset sale will augment the $21.7 million in cash and cash equivalents Peerless reported at the October 31, 2007, end of its third fiscal quarter.
