NuVim, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NUVM), a leading provider of nutritional
refrigerated, ready-to-drink beverages and powder mixes, announced
today that it has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to take a stake
in GRAN NEVADA, Inc. and conduct their beverage operations through
2014. As the operating entity, NuVim will make the sales of current
and future GRAN NEVADA products and share a percentage of the
profit contribution from the sales with GRAN NEVADA. Revenues for
sales of GRAN NEVADA ready to drink beverages, including their
flagship product, Horchata, a rice and milk based beverage product
targeted at the Hispanic market, is estimated to reach $1,000,000
during the next 12 months. NuVim will supervise the manufacture of
GRAN NEVADA products with quality control supervision provided by
GRAN NEVADA.
Consummation of the transaction depends on NuVim raising
$100,000 in funding to help support the GRAN NEVADA business going
forward. Upon consummation, NuVim will issue 3.5 million restricted
common shares for its stake in GRAN NEVADA and assume operating
control of Gran Nevada beverage business. GRAN NEVADA and NuVim
will take advantage of their diverse strengths in sales and
distribution to increase revenues of both brands. Current GRAN
NEVADA distribution of its beverage products is centered on the
East Coast, in an estimated 1,000 independent retail stores
commonly referred to as bodegas and other ethnic supermarkets, with
a heavy concentration in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
GRAN NEVADA President Fernando Oswaldo Leonzo said, "I am
pleased to team up with NuVim's management and their resource team
to assist GRAN NEVADA in building our family business. Rick Kundrat
and I have been discussing a business relationship between the two
companies for a couple of years. After independently restructuring
both companies we have been able to put this together to our mutual
benefit."
