The 11,400,000 common shares will be cancelled and returned to the Company's treasury. Martyn Armstrong, CEO of Open EC states, "With the sale of the China business operations, Open EC will improve its working capital, improve its shareholder's equity by approximately 20% and lower its cost of operations. Overall, the Company will have lower short term revenues, but with the reduced costs and increased working capital, it should improve its financial stability at a time when cash resources are most important. The increase in working capital will enable the Company to focus its business development in the lower risk, higher margin potential, North American e-business software market through its SoftCare EC Solutions subsidiary. This move will strengthen the Company's ability to continue to grow its profitable EDI software business subsidiary and accelerate its initiatives in the new economy resilient markets of Healthcare and Government Services, primarily in the USA." Mr. Armstrong advises that, "Open EC will continue to hold its interest in Headware, a foreign China corporation. This will allow Open EC, through its, Headware subsidiary, to more effectively evaluate and develop new EDI business opportunities and partnerships in China which would be complementary to our plans to maximize the revenue potential for our existing e-Business Software Products."
