Franchise Holdings International, Inc. Defers Private Placement Offering
TORONTO, ON -- (Marketwired) -- 10/04/17 -- Franchise Holdings International, Inc.(FNHI), the parent company of Truxmart LTD Inc., an innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau covers for the light truck market, has delayed its previously announced $1,000,000 private placement for inventory and revenue development. Steven Rossi, CEO of FNHI, believes "it can bring better shareholder value by raising capital in the near future when market conditions are better." The planned new capital raise will target between US $1,000,000 - $2,000,000. It will occur after FNHI achieves the following:
Becomes current by filing Q1, Q2, and Q3 reports before the end of November, 2017. Resumes & Completes listing on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE), with GunPowder Capital. Relists with OTC:QB (with Blue-sky monitoring).
"Our market continues to grow rapidly," Rossi commented. "Consumers, retailers, dealers, and distributors need an alternative to the present market leaders. As a result, the demand for our tonneau covers is overwhelming and requires new capital to meet it globally. Once we become current and achieve the CSE listing and OTC:QB quotation we will be ready to raise and deploy new funds and begin to achieve our highly ambitious growth plans and targets."
Accredited investors interested in investing with FNHI can sign up in advance by visiting www.investfnhi.com, where there will be further details.
TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Franchise Holdings International, Inc., the parent company of Truxmart LTD Inc., (OTC:FNHI), an innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau covers for the light truck market, has provided a progress report on its 10Q reports for Quarters 1-3, 2017, stating that its accounting and review team "are working as diligently as they can to finalize the reviews as soon as possible." FNHI said delays have been "due to adjustments and disclosures needed to re-state the misstated financials reported in 2016."?
"The FNHI accounting team and its auditors are taking extra precautions to ensure all reports are 100 percent accurate and the errors responsible for misstatements in 2016 are not repeated," said FNHI CEO Steven Rossi. "We've made a solemn pledge to shareholders that this will not occur again." In December, the company expects to be fully current with its filings.
Rossi said the demand for Truxmart tonneau covers remains 'overwhelming' and that his team is focusing on increasing Q4 revenues and beginning Q1 2018 with a strong start. "Our goal now is to replenish inventory in our Canadian and U.S. warehouses and scale up for major global growth on sound financial footing," Rossi added. Truxmart's Q4 2017 revenues are expected to be greater than the previous three quarters combined.
Once all filings are current, FNHI plans to finalize a previously initiated CSE cross-listing, and regain its OTC: QB listing. It also expects to resume a previously paused exclusive private placement offering under U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Regulation D, rule 506(c) that had attracted significant investor interest. The offering is paired with several attractive features, permitting the company to move closer and closer to its stated goal for international expansion, growth and profitability. Once the offering is resumed, we hope to close it quickly. Investors are urged to sign up at www.investfnhi.com in advance of the offering.
"With this funding, the FNHI business plan could change our status from an emerging company to a dominant force in the large and expanding international tonneau cover market," Rossi said. "Within one year after the capital infusion, we hope to achieve revenues of over $5,000,000 US and to reach profitability with $1,500,000 in revenues. In addition, our low operational costs do not scale up with increased revenues."

Blue Sky Monitoring Service offers companies a customized daily audit of their Blue Sky compliance status in each U.S state or territory to help companies reach a larger pool of U.S. investors. Companies use this service to streamline their compliance process, receive guidance and information on available exemptions and registering in non-compliant states, and be informed with daily updates on which state brokers can or cannot discuss the security with investors.
Blue sky laws are U.S. state laws that regulate the offer and sale of securities to protect investors from fraud. In order for broker-dealers to be able to recommend, solicit or even discuss a security with investors in any of the 50 states or 4 U.S. territories, the security must comply with the blue sky laws of the state the investor resides in. Securities that are not listed on NASDAQ and NYSE do not have automatic “Blue Sky” exemption across the 50 states and additional U.S. territories.

Franchise Holdings International, Inc. Defers Private Placement Offering
TORONTO, ON -- (Marketwired) -- 10/04/17 -- Franchise Holdings International, Inc.(FNHI), the parent company of Truxmart LTD Inc., an innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau covers for the light truck market, has delayed its previously announced $1,000,000 private placement for inventory and revenue development. Steven Rossi, CEO of FNHI, believes "it can bring better shareholder value by raising capital in the near future when market conditions are better." The planned new capital raise will target between US $1,000,000 - $2,000,000. It will occur after FNHI achieves the following:
Becomes current by filing Q1, Q2, and Q3 reports before the end of November, 2017. Resumes & Completes listing on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE), with GunPowder Capital. Relists with OTC:QB (with Blue-sky monitoring).
"Our market continues to grow rapidly," Rossi commented. "Consumers, retailers, dealers, and distributors need an alternative to the present market leaders. As a result, the demand for our tonneau covers is overwhelming and requires new capital to meet it globally. Once we become current and achieve the CSE listing and OTC:QB quotation we will be ready to raise and deploy new funds and begin to achieve our highly ambitious growth plans and targets."

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Franchise Holdings International, Inc., the parent company of Truxmart LTD Inc., (OTC:FNHI), an innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau covers for the light truck market, has provided a progress report on its 10Q reports for Quarters 1-3, 2017, stating that its accounting and review team "are working as diligently as they can to finalize the reviews as soon as possible." FNHI said delays have been "due to adjustments and disclosures needed to re-state the misstated financials reported in 2016."?
"The FNHI accounting team and its auditors are taking extra precautions to ensure all reports are 100 percent accurate and the errors responsible for misstatements in 2016 are not repeated," said FNHI CEO Steven Rossi. "We've made a solemn pledge to shareholders that this will not occur again." In December, the company expects to be fully current with its filings.
Rossi said the demand for Truxmart tonneau covers remains 'overwhelming' and that his team is focusing on increasing Q4 revenues and beginning Q1 2018 with a strong start. "Our goal now is to replenish inventory in our Canadian and U.S. warehouses and scale up for major global growth on sound financial footing," Rossi added. Truxmart's Q4 2017 revenues are expected to be greater than the previous three quarters combined.
Once all filings are current, FNHI plans to finalize a previously initiated CSE cross-listing, and regain its OTC: QB listing. It also expects to resume a previously paused exclusive private placement offering under U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Regulation D, rule 506(c) that had attracted significant investor interest. The offering is paired with several attractive features, permitting the company to move closer and closer to its stated goal for international expansion, growth and profitability. Once the offering is resumed, we hope to close it quickly. Investors are urged to sign up at www.investfnhi.com in advance of the offering.
"With this funding, the FNHI business plan could change our status from an emerging company to a dominant force in the large and expanding international tonneau cover market," Rossi said. "Within one year after the capital infusion, we hope to achieve revenues of over $5,000,000 US and to reach profitability with $1,500,000 in revenues. In addition, our low operational costs do not scale up with increased revenues."
