Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Douglas Mac Donald, today announced that Westsphere Asset Corporation has determined that an unauthorized e-mail news alert dated February 5, 2002 has been distributed extensively outlining the development of its wholly owned subsidiary E-Debit International Inc.
Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. has not authorized nor initiated any release pertaining to the E-Debit process since the October 5, 2001 announcement that it had completed the majority acquisition of E-Debit International Inc. As a result of the world altering circumstances of September 2001 Westsphere management determined that the consequences of anonymous electronic funds transfers was not corporately acceptable nor had any application in the present economic or world environment.
As a result Westsphere has redirected the development efforts of E-Debit to focus on the integration within the ongoing business and financial operations of its wholly owned subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation and its joint venture operation with TRAC P.O.S. Processing Inc.
The unauthorized e-mail news alert that was distributed outlines dated information that is in excess of six months old and has no relevancy to the present development state of E-Debit International Inc.
Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. has experienced significant fourth quarter growth within its wholly owned subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation experiencing an increase of 34% in the Automated Banking Machine sites it operates and with the recent successful completion Point of Sale test operations conducted by TRAC P.O.S. Processing Inc., Westsphere expects an aggressive expansion and significant growth in both companies this year.
Doug Mac Donald, President of Westsphere stated, "It our intention to develop a fully integrated company for "Point of Sale", "Automated Banking Machines", "e-commerce and shared cash solutions, and redevelopment of an E-Debit process based on the success of our other cash producing business operations is being pursued. We are presently in the process of reviewing our options in regard to the unauthorized distribution of dated and inaccurate information centering on the activities of E-Debit International Inc."
