leisureplanet.com Announces Strategic Shift

LONDON -- Leisureplanet.com today announced that due to current market conditions it has thus far been unsuccessful in locating strategic partners for its current round of financing. As a result, the company has decided to shift its business-to-consumer strategy to a business-to-business strategy.

The company will seek to significantly lower its running costs through the renegotiation of distribution agreements, creditor renegotiation and other cost cutting measures. In addition, it will concentrate on creating various industry joint ventures to exploit the numerous content and technological assets it possesses so that over time, these joint ventures will further absorb company overhead as well as bring the company to profitability in a shorter period of time.

The company will continue to explore strategic alternatives including finding joint venture partners as well as seeking potential merger partners with interested industry players.
