CEPO Systems Pty Ltd (19.9%)
CEPO Systems Pty Ltd (“CEPO”) is an Internet
hosted Business to Business (“B2B”) company that
was acquired in November 1999. Since its
establishment, CEPO continually strived to
develop and refine its unique e-commerce systems
to provide cost effective, efficient and
reliable e-solutions and e-invoices to its
clients, while satisfying the relevant industry
standards. CEPO established strategic alliances
with several leading suppliers and distributors
throughout the Australian liquor industry to
automate the manual process of data entry. More
recently, CEPO has developed a Mobile On Line
ordering product with its partners, which is
expected to be released to the market in the
near future.
In early May 2003, Oropa reached agreement with
the major shareholders of CEPO for Oropa to sell
its 19.9% shareholding in CEPO for a cash
consideration of $100,000. All documentation
has been placed in trust with Oropa’s solicitors
until the purchase price is paid in full, after
which Oropa will transfer its shares to CEPO’s
major shareholders. While Oropa retains its
equity in CEPO, CEPO is obliged to inform Oropa
of its quarterly activities. Upon CEPO making
the full $100,000 settlement to Oropa, Oropa
will relinquish its intellectual property rights
in the five countries it originally negotiated
to represent CEPO in at the time that the
Company acquired its interest in CEPO. Under
the terms of the current sale contract, Oropa
has the right to purchase a 5% interest in CEPO
within 2 years of the settlement date for cash
consideration of $200,000.
