(OTCBB: FARE) (OTCQB: FARE) (BERLIN: WM7) (BERLIN: A1J8SY) ("World Moto" or the "Company"), management would like to take this opportunity to provide its valued shareholders with an update on its corporate developments. Changing the way the world goes around, World Moto is a global authority on the $500 billion dollar a year motorcycle taxi industry and inventor of the Moto-Meter, the world's first motorcycle taxi meter.
Management maintains that the current market price of the stock is artificially low and does not represent the true value of the Company as it progressively executes on its business plan of building a global business with long term value.
The Company is currently evaluating several offers from qualified investment firms with the intent of further strengthening its balance sheet ahead of production of the Moto-Meter and launch of the Company's products and services.
Concurrently, discussions with governments, distributors and operators in multiple countries are continuing, and the Company anticipates successfully completing numerous agreements by the time volume production of the Moto-Meter is reached.
On March 5th, World Moto submitted its final application for privileged status with the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) and expects to receive approval near the end of March 2013. Benefits include a 12 year tax holiday consisting of no income taxes for the first eight years and a 50% reduction for the remaining four.
In addition, the Company continues to work with relevant agents and agencies to prosecute its patent application in 61 chosen countries. These countries have been carefully selected to cover the majority of the world's mototaxi fleet and customers. Based on its initial favorable review from the Patent Cooperation Treaty Examiner, the Company expects ultimately to be awarded a patent in every targeted jurisdiction within the next four years.
Finally, on Monday, February 25, 2013, CBN-iTV, the first finance TV channel of China, ran a 5 minute, 25 second segment discussing World Moto's strategies and business opportunities during its one hour discussion of the US market that aired between 22:00 and 23:00. The commentary was offered by Warren Wang, the CEO of ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (CIIX). The complete one hour telecast is available at: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTE5MzQ4NTE2.html. The commentary on FARE begins at time index 7 minutes, 20 seconds and finishes at 12 minutes, 45 seconds.
Company CEO Paul Giles stated, "We're overwhelmed by the positive responses we've received about our products and are confident that continued progress toward profitability will be rewarded by the market with higher stock prices."
