UPDA Enters Agreement to Sell Trading and Storage Subsidiaries for $7.5 Million
Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB:UPDA)(FWB:UP1)(BCN:UP1)(GER:UP1)(MUN:UP1)(S TU:UP1), has entered into an agreement with Continental Fuels, Inc. (OTCBB: CNDI) to sell its trading and storage subsidiaries for $7.5 million.
The sales price, to be paid in cash and convertible debentures, represents a significant gain on UPDA's investment of approximately $1.25 million in the subsidiaries. The sale also represents an opportunity for UPDA to additionally enhance its shareholder value through an investment in Continental while utilizing the cash to be paid to continue to expand UPDA's exploration and production operations.
"With the pending acquisition of one million acres of coalbed methane leases in Kansas, UPDA has committed to a sharpened focus on exploration and production," said Chris McCauley, UPDA Vice President. In addition, we are very impressed with Continental's business plan and management. Continental is well positioned to take advantage of the relationships we have created in these subsidiaries and UPDA will benefit in the short term by the cash payment of $2.5 million required by the agreement and in the long term through the potential of its investment in Continental. We expect Continental to expand rapidly and successfully in the trading arena, a market that our experiences have convinced us has substantial possibilities. This transaction allows us to apply those experiences to monitor and assist in Continental's progress, to concentrate UPDA's resources on its core business and still to reap the rewards of both."
The Closing Date for the transaction has been scheduled for April 2, 2007.
