Business Wire
The Envit Capital Group (PINK SHEETS: ECGP) today announced a
strategic arrangement through its subsidiaries with comedic
powerhouse, National Lampoon, Inc (AMEX: NLN). Envit has entered
into a tentative agreement to fund a slate of approved selected
projects with National Lampoon, including moderate budget feature
films, P&A financing, video productions, and possible
television development and production. The agreement may include
branded comedy projects and other genre properties focused on the
college demographic. National Lampoon has strong direct retail
relationships with such companies as Blockbuster, Hollywood Video,
and Netflix. National Lampoon has most recently increased efforts
in other mediums such as deals with Comedy Central, XM radio, and a
large internet network presence. Chairman, and CEO of The Envit
Capital Group, Inc., Edward M. Laborio stated; "We are very excited
about the potential of the proposed strategic relationship between
National Lampoon and Envit Capital. Over the last four years the
private equity and hedge fund industry have dedicated an estimated
$15 billion for Film financing in order to take advantage of
alternative investments. With current economic conditions we
believe that this estimate will increase due to a large amount of
wealth leaving traditional equity investments. Envit intends to
take advantage of the brand name National Lampoon, which has had a
massive presence in the comedic entertainment industry since 1967.
Movies such as Van Wilder, Animal House and the Vacation series are
staples in consumers DVD libraries. We are embarking on this
relationship with the anticipation that together with National
Lampoon we will be able to bring successful movies like these to
theaters across America and in consumer�s homes for years to come.
We anticipate exploring additional opportunities in future film
financing projects outside of the National Lampoon brand. In the
United States, the movie and entertainment industry generated
approximate revenues amounting to $48 billion in 2007 and is
forecasted to grow substantially within the next five years. The
sale of videos and box office sales accounts for about 80% of the
revenues generated and the United States is also the world leader
with 43% of the market share. With these statistics, it shows that
there is great potential for Envit Capital National Lampoon to
engage in projects with substantial positive returns. Envit also
intends to establish the necessary facilities to have presence in
Hollywood / Los Angeles, California.� About Envit The Envit Capital
