Mongolia Growth Group Ltd. Successfully Executes Cost-Savings Plan; Eliminates Over CDN $1,000,000 of Recurring Costs

Posted on 02/12/15 in Press Releases

 

TORONTO, Ontario, February 11, 2015 /FSC/Mongolia Growth Group Ltd. (YAK ‐ TSXV and MNGGF – USA) (“MGG”) or (“the Company”) a commercial real estate investment and development company participating in the dynamic growth of the Mongolian economy announces the successful completion of cost cutting initiatives.

Over the past few months, the company has undertaken a thorough review of its expenditures with the goal of dramatically reducing all expense categories. In total, the Company has identified in excess of CDN $1,000,000 in recurring costs that have now been eliminated either through the discontinuation or renegotiation of contractual terms.

The majority of these savings have already taken effect with several additional expenses expected to trail off over the next few months. These costs primarily relate to staffing, service providers and various professional fees. It is anticipated that the elimination of these expenses will have a negligible effect on the operating business.

“This first round of savings will directly strengthen our profitability. I feel strongly that there are substantial additional savings to be realized in the next few months as we continue our process of evaluating every expense in the business,” said Harris Kupperman, Chairman and CEO of MGG.

The Company is currently preparing for a second round of substantial expense reductions primarily targeting professional fees and various discretionary expenses. It is expected that these reductions will be finalized and implemented during the second quarter of 2015.
