JPC Capital Partners, Inc. Files Definitive 14C Regarding the Acquisition of DIAS Holding, Inc. and a Special Shareholders Meeting
Jul 10, 2008 10:56:00 AM
View Additional ProfilesALPHARETTA, GA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/10/08 -- JPC Capital Partners, Inc. (OTCBB: JPCI), a licensed broker-dealer based in Alpharetta, Georgia, announced today that it has filed its Definitive 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission setting the date for a special shareholder meeting. The shareholder meeting will be held on July 30, 2008 to authorize the steps necessary to complete the acquisition of DIAS Holding, Inc. DIAS Holding Inc. f/k/a Componus, Inc. ("Componus"), is a Nevada Corporation involved in the multi-billion dollar industry of providing automotive, trucking, railway and petroleum industries with raw, finished and assembled components.

As previously announced on March 26, 2008, JPC Capital executed a stock purchase agreement and share exchange with Componus. The Agreement provided for the acquisition of Componus by JPC Capital Partners, Inc., whereby Componus will become a wholly owned subsidiary of JPC Capital. In connection with the acquisition of Componus, and after taking into effect a 2 for 1 reverse split of JPC Capital common shares, JPC Capital will issue 89,000,000 total shares of common stock. This will represent approximately 87.25% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of JPCI after the transaction is closed. These shares will be issued in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Componus. Upon completion of the Closing, Componus intends to elect a new board of directors and appoint new officers. Shareholders owning a controlling interest in JPC Capital have indicated that they intend to vote to approve the acquisition. Upon such vote, JPC Capital expects to complete the acquisition on July 31, 2008.

"We look forward to completing the acquisition of Componus," stated Jack Canouse, chief executive officer of JPC Capital. "We believe that this acquisition is in the best interest of our shareholders and will gain positive attention in the public markets. As the big three US automakers suffer record low sales and earnings due to overwhelmingly high cost in the US, we believe Componus is strategically positioned to exploit the multi-billion dollar metal forging and automotive supply industry between the US, China and other certain Asian countries."

Preliminary unaudited figures provided by Componus indicates that its sales increased to $3,418,102 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $2,178,449 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The $1,239,653 or 57% increase in sales reflects deliveries for repeat and new products ordered by existing clients, whose demand increased from the previous year. Gross profit increased to $1,070,042, or 31% of sales, for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $704,849, or 32% of sales, over the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The increase reflects the proportional rise relative to sales compared to the previous year.

Upon review of Componus's unaudited first quarter results, Jack Canouse stated, "We are very pleased with the continuing growth and strength of Componus's operations, and we are excited about the future opportunities created by the Componus acquisition."

Well what is the O/S since thats reported in '05...definitely interesting, but i remember i got out of pennies for a reason, and that was all the BS and false promises. Will DD this though definitely interesting
 
Posted by emptycontents on :
 
There will be a one for two split in the stock, I believe the float is under 5 million.
 
Posted by stocktrader22 on :
 
Can you provide me details of what JPCI O/S and float should be after the merger?
 
Posted by emptycontents on :
 
I am try and dig that up, maybe it is in a filing? I think there will be a lot of up and coming information on this stock. These wheels have been in motion for a long time now and it finally seems like the ball is rolling.
 
Posted by stocktrader22 on :
 
You have shares yet? Where did you get in at if so?
 
Posted by emptycontents on :
 
I bought in before the last run and then up around .25 cents after I made a tidy profit. I plan on putting a bid up but I am hoping the ask will come down a touch.
 
Posted by billjohnson on :
 
JPCI loooks very interesting. I just had a conversation with JPCI they told me the current float is roughly 2.4M. still doing DD, but it looks good so far. The asia forgings angle seems like a nice play. I will post what I find here

the first thing he posted indicates they are issuing 89 million share to effect the transaction and that will be about 87% of issued and outstanding. in the same article is states their sales for the quarter ended march were only 3.4 million. not sure where you got 33 million annual

A one for two, LMAO you act like that is a big deal.
 
Posted by tmanfromtexas on :
 
Nah, the reverse split would be one thing but increasing the AS AND doing a RS is something anyone should really consider before buying in. I thought about it and decided not to. Hopefully those who do make big bucks and get no whammies. TMAN...

well they are showing 15M is sales for 20007 and nearly 3.5m for this latest quarter. thats not bad at all

DIAS Holdings/Asia Forging is a reverse merger into JPCI. This is a background on why better growth companies oft use the reverse merger process on the OTCBB:

The New IPO Market: Reverse Shell Mergers

By Ralph Amato
E-Commerce Times
02/15/08 5:00 AM PT

In years past, reverse mergers were associated with penny stock scams which were subject to manipulation by promoters. However, after several rounds of SEC rule changes and the collapse of the IPO markets in late 2000, OTCBB Shells emerged in 2003 as the de facto IPO marketplace for emerging growth companies.

The average size raised for an IPO (initial public offering) in 2007 was US$229 million, according to IPO Home. That translates into a market cap valuation averaging over $1 billion for companies that are going public.

The marketplace for IPOs has changed dramatically since 2000, when the Internet IPO frenzy imploded. Since that time, small boutique underwriters have virtually disappeared and the surviving larger firms such as UBS, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are underwriting much larger deals. Most of those deals are now based upon companies that can exhibit strong financial fundamentals inclusive of a proven track record and a history of earnings.

This leaves a huge gap in the marketplace for emerging growth companies that have a need to go public but do not possess billion-dollar valuations. So what are the alternatives for companies who wish to go public to expand their business and gain access to the capital markets? The answer may be to seek a reverse merger into an Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) Shell.

For Emerging Growth Firms

In its simplest form, a reverse merger refers to the process whereby a private company merges into and with an existing public company to establish itself as a public company. Typically, the public company with which the private company merges has a shareholder base and some assets but is no longer a functioning business; hence, it is often called a "public shell."

In years past, reverse mergers were associated with penny stock scams which were subject to manipulation by promoters. However, after several rounds of SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) rule changes and the collapse of the IPO markets in late 2000, OTCBB Shells emerged in 2003 as the de facto IPO marketplace for emerging growth companies.

Today, companies that reverse into an OTCBB Shell must adhere to the same stringent rules and regulations as set forth for companies who are listed on NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations), AMEX (American Stock Exchange) or the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange). The basic difference is that the emerging growth companies that trade on the OTCBB do not yet meet all of the listing requirements set forth by the stock exchanges: namely, the combination of earnings, assets, net worth, number of shareholders and minimum trading price for shares.

Public Image

The image of reverse mergers as a legitimate vehicle to go public has improved measurably in the recent years. The SEC no longer views reverse mergers as its redheaded stepchild. There are several key reasons for this assessment:

* Stringent new rules introduced by the SEC over the last five years;
* SEC rule revisions passed in 2007 to assist small companies in raising capital;
* Through its recent actions and commentary, the SEC now recognizes reverse mergers as a legitimate way for small companies to go public;
* There are now more reverse mergers performed per year than there are IPOs;
* Barrier of entry. The cost of an OTCBB Shell attracts companies that have revenues and earnings or substantial financial backers; and
* Equity investments via PIPEs (private investments in public entities) will increase with the introduction of the reduced six month hold period on 144 stocks.

Advantages of a Reverse Merger

There are several advantages of the reverse merger for emerging growth companies. However there are three critical areas of importance:

1. Cost. Reverse mergers usually cost significantly less than an IPO. The total cost will be less than $1 million, inclusive of the cost of the shell, financial audits and attorney fees. However, there are alternatives that can reduce those fees substantially. If a company is generating revenues and profits and has an intriguing business model then it is possible to attract a shell owner who will take a combination of cash and equity or sometimes straight equity participation. This would substantially reduce the full cash outlay of approximately $600,000 to $900,000 to purchase the shell.

An IPO, on the other hand, is much more expensive, costing at least $2 million before factoring in investment banking fees, underwriting commissions and road shows to raise capital. With an IPO there is no guarantee at the end of the day you will go public. Your underwriter could back out of the deal for a variety of reasons: lack of interest, industry perception, market timing, etc. If your IPO is canceled, all of the money you have spent is literally down the drain.

2. Timeliness. If you are performing a reverse merger into a "shell company" you will need to have your audits finalized before you close on the shell. Why? Because the SEC mandates you have to file your 8K within four days from the date you file for the reverse merger. The entire process takes sixty to ninety days from the time you first file your 8K with the SEC. If time is of the essence and you need to get your deal to market sooner rather than later, then a reverse merger into an OTCBB shell is the best route to take. Because you are reversing into a company that is already public, you have eliminated the possibility that your company will not be publicly traded.

In contrast, a typical IPO takes nine months to a year to complete and, if problems occur, it can take several more months.

3. Market Conditions. Many times, management has a window of opportunity in which to take their company public. This could be the result of current market conditions or a perception that their company is in a hot, new multibillion-dollar industry. Whatever the reason, you know it is in your best interest and the company's to get public as soon as possible. The good news is that you can expedite the process of going public through a reverse merger much quicker than an IPO. Also, is once you have filed your 8K with the SEC you can then start the process of raising capital. Fund managers are more likely to invest in your company once they know they have the ability "cash out" through your public vehicle.

As the industry gains traction, you will start to see more and more companies using the reverse shell merger as their preferred choice for going public.

Still no luck bidding it cheap, I have picked a few up here and there when the bid rises, but nothing substantial.

Emptycontents....I will do you a favor and check out the salon. I am directly North of Detroit and Allen Park is South West of Detroit. Looks interesting. Allen Park is close to Dearborn which is FORD stomping grounds. From what I read, it sounds similiar to what Jeep in Toledo, OH has done. They took all the suppliers and gave them their own building and piled them all together to directly supply parts to the line. I know this venture sounds different but I go back to work Monday at Chrysler and will ask about it. I also note that its down the street from Detroit Metro Airport. (rather large airport). Give me a week.

JPC Capital Partners, Inc. Shareholders Vote to Complete Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange With Componus, Inc.

THURSDAY , JULY 31, 2008 10:26 AM

ATLANTA, GA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/31/08 -- JPC Capital Partners, Inc. (OTCBB: JPCI), based in Atlanta, Georgia, announced today that its shareholders had voted to approve changes to JPCI's certificate of incorporation and board of directors, both steps necessary to complete the stock purchase and share exchange agreement with Componus, a Nevada corporation ("Componus"). Chairman and CEO of Componus, Inc., Eric Huang, states, "I am both pleased and excited about the opportunities that will be created from our going public and trading in the U.S. equity markets. I personally feel that this will add value to our business model and create more opportunities for our future growth potential. We look forward to expanding our capabilities as a direct link in the global automotive marketplace."

The stock purchase and share exchange agreement provides for the acquisition of Componus by JPC Capital Partners, Inc. with Componus becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of JPCI. In connection with this acquisition, JPCI's shareholders approved today a reverse split of outstanding JPCI common shares on a 2 for 1 basis and an increase of the number of authorized shares from 95 million to 250 million. JPCI expects to complete the share exchange on Monday, August 4, 2008 and issue 89,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all capital shares of Componus. As a result of this share exchange, Componus shareholders will own approximately 87.25% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of JPCI. JPCI CEO John Canouse stated: "We are very excited that our shareholders have voted overwhelmingly to complete this transaction. We believe this transaction to be an effective strategy to increase value by allowing our shareholders an opportunity to participate in the economic growth surge happening in the Asian markets. Componus is an established company with significant assets and a tremendous revenue potential in the multi-billion dollar metal forging and automotive supply industry. We see this as a great opportunity for JPCI shareholders."

Well as soon as these bids jump or the ask falls I think we will get some volume there are a lot of eyes on this that have been waiting for the merger.
