IBSG International, Inc. subsidiary, IBS Group, (the "Company"), (OTC
BB:IBIN) announced today that its Dallas based project, Southwest Biz
Resources Inc. (SBR), has expanded the project with the addition of
Community TV Networks and River Pointe Media Services as 4 year
satellite license holders.
Both of these organizations not only expand the Texas market but have
international expansion opportunities as well bringing international
business opportunities, through established relationships, to Texas
SMEs. These organizations combine to increase the potential Small to
Mid-size Enterprises (SMEs) subscriber base by another 60,000 over the
next 12 months. IBSG’s BizWorldPro forms the
e-commerce backbone of SBR Inc.’s unique
online business network for new and existing businesses in Texas.
Management of both firms believe that the state of Texas alone, with its
estimated 321,000 small business population, is expected, but cannot
guarantee, to generate nearly $6 million in additional revenues. The
value of the first year licensing fees are estimated at $50,000 for year
one.
According to Miki Kitamura, Business Resource Public Liaison of
Southwest Biz Resource, Inc., “We are very
excited at the continued expansion of our project. Texas is ready for an
aggressive growth of the small-mid size business community. Community TV
Networks has service relationships with business
associations in 11 countries to offer digital business services and a
conduit to the Texas SME markets with a particular focus on Indonesia.
River Pointe Media Services is providing digital business services to
veterans and people with disabilities. This organization maintains
relationships with similar organizations not only in Texas but other
states in the US and is targeting expansion into Europe and Asia.
"The SBR will continue to expand the project until the benefits of the
platform, under the SBR project, is the core digital commerce center for
the state of Texas. We continue to see tremendous interest in the
platform from various business organizations around the state. We also
see the platform as a vital addition to the procurement processes of all
levels of government through their Bid Management functions. The
platform is a perfect fit for centralizing procurement and providing the
mandated opportunity to small to mid size businesses in the state.”
Ms. Kimberly Neubauer, COO of IBS Group stated, “As
a career entrepreneur who developed a successful business for over 20
years, the projects we are developing domestically will eventually
expand into the single largest SME market in the world here in the
states. Our online Southwest Biz Resource project continues to be
positioned as vitally important to the state’s
SME revitalization initiatives. The continued expansion with additional
license holders demonstrates the expansion capabilities of the BizWorld
Pro platform which provide the business communities SBR serves a
powerful advantage in competing in today’s
highly-technological marketplace.” The
management of Southwest Biz Resource, Inc. has over 50 years of
successful small business experience, and the ties they have with
various state and other government agencies. The Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT), as an example, issued over $200 million in
Requests For Proposals (RFP) in 2006 according to its annual report.”
Michael Rivers, CEO of IBSG said, “While the
scale of a state project does not compare to an entire country as a
federal initiative, our domestic projects follow the same model and
continue to expand. These projects are a key part of our domestic
strategy in the U.S. As one of the biggest states both by area and
population and generating a significant portion of America’s
GDP, Texas is one of the lynchpins of our domestic business strategy.
Teaming up with Southwest Biz Resource, Inc. is demonstrating that the
demand for business tools and procurement standardization and will
assist us in meeting our future revenue goals in 2008 and beyond.”
For the first quarter 2008, the Company recognized revenues were
approximately $4.7 million, a 58% increase over the $3.0 million in
first quarter 2008. The Company had a net income for the three months
ended March 31 2008 of $1.13 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share.
