Brunton Vineyards, a San Francisco / Napa-based wine company today announced recent developments in its business. The Company’s management team has been working to secure long-term distribution and visibility for its brands and has done so through recent partnership deals with several race tracks, such as the California Speedway and others.
Through these partnerships, the Company has attracted several thousand race fans to its wine club, selling over 15 cases of wine in January and doubling that amount, 33 cases, in February. The company received over $750,000 in funding in 2007 and continues to negotiate with several financing sources, several providing offers which the Company is currently reviewing.
Having completed its GAAP audits of financial statements on its existing operations, management currently anticipates that the consolidated audited statements, which will cover a six year period, will be completed within the next thirty days. The next steps planned are to file updated 8k, 10k and 10Q filings, to be followed by a C211 filing for up-list to the OTC Bulletin Board. Management hopes the Company will be approved for trading on OTC Bulletin Board in the second quarter of 2008.
"While our Company has had its challenges during its first year as a publicly traded company, enduring several setbacks over the last few months in the way of its market performance, we have several funding offers in place. Brunton Vineyards will continue to push forward with revenue plans via racing circuits and intends to finance substantial vineyard acquisitions and expand VinoVenue operations and locations through a private placement offering, already in place and ready for distribution. Our management team, shareholders and our investment bankers have all been very patient through the process and we applaud and thank them for their continued support and belief in our company and business model," said Geno Brunton, CEO of Brunton Vineyards.
