RE: Jordan Bank Deal 2011
In February 2011, the Corporation announced that the Corporations Middle East subsidiary, Mint Middle East LLC, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a Joint Venture with Sadad LLC to provide on an exclusive basis an advanced bill and utility payment system platform to be deployed in Jordan.
Update: This Joint Venture has failed to deliver any meaningful opportunities and has been terminated without cost to the Corporation.
EBITDA fell from $77,130 in Q2 2011 to ($144,404) in Q3 2011. This was primarily due to one-time expenses associated with the setting up of a Joint Venture in Jordan which was subsequently terminated, costs involved in having a series of investor road shows in the Middle East region and one-time costs involved with moving to a larger office as a result of the expanding operations.
