ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Quality and Brand – PROSHRED® continues to be the only national onsite document destruction company in the United States to be ISO 9001 Certified for international standards in quality and customer satisfaction. The certification was renewed in 2015. In addition, all of our franchise and corporate locations in operation are NAID AAA certified. These certifications are the core of our client satisfaction programs, which are measured, monitored and improved on a continuous basis. PROSHRED® remains committed to our core values of honesty and transparency in our pricing communications with our customers. As a result we do not typically include fuel, insurance or administrative surcharges in the price of our on-‐site shredding services. Commitment to Communities, Social Causes and our Environment – PROSHRED®’s core values include commitment to the communities we serve and a commitment towards a cleaner and greener environment. During 2015, PROSHRED® franchisees and corporate locations conducted 201 community shredding events. These events are aimed at educating consumers on the serious ramifications of identity theft while simultaneously allowing consumers to destroy their confidential documents on site and in a green manner. Our community shredding events are often conducted in association with local charities raising funds for their worthy causes. On June 6, 2015, PROSHRED® conducted its very first national shredding event to raise funds and awareness for the American Institute for Cancer Research (“AICR”). This event was and is inspired by our former franchisee, David Wright, in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2015, PROSHRED® raised over $50,000 on behalf of AICR. Our 2016 Shred Cancer Event will be on June 4, 2016, please visit www.proshred.com/aicr for more information. An important byproduct of the PROSHRED® service is the shredded paper. All paper that is shredded is also recycled, and as a result, PROSHRED® locations shred 36,000 tons of paper in 2015, saving 545,000 trees. Our Value Proposition: PROSHRED®’s sophisticated technology, backed by over 25 years of experience in information and materials destruction, consistently and reliably provides the best information security and liability protection for our clients. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 2015 CHALLENGES Paper Prices – During the last quarter of 2015, driven by a drop in overseas demand and overall global declines in commodity prices, recycled paper prices dropped by 18% versus the 4th quarter of 2014. Paper pricing has continued to be soft for the last four years, with Q4-‐2015 being the lowest pricing point since early 2009. PROSHRED®’s response to this challenge has been to focus its sales strategy on building strong route densities, selling recurring service and by providing peerless customer service. By building strong route densities, we can and have increased our truck utilization, thereby reducing our cost per stop and remaining competitive during upward paper pricing cycles. Franchise Development – The PROSHRED® franchise model is capital intensive, as it requires significant investment in equipment and human resources to launch. The typical franchisee candidate has a net worth of at least $1.5M. The United States credit markets continued to be a challenge for small businesses, restricting access to capital for potential franchisees, hence reducing the pool of qualified candidates. In order to respond to this situation, PROSHRED® has invested in (a) supporting our existing franchisees, as they drive the validation process, (b) building stronger relationships with business brokers with the aim to increase the quantity of quality candidates that explore the PROSHRED® business opportunity, and (c) management continues to work with various financing brokers and advisors with the goal to open new financing channels for new and existing franchisees. REDISHRED CAPITAL CORP AND PROSHRED® MOVING FORWARD Strategy PROSHRED® will spend the next fiscal year focusing on our core strategies as follows: • Continuing to enhance the PROSHRED® system with the view of increasing franchisees’ sales and cash flows by providing sales and marketing support to all franchisees and corporate locations; • Leverage our buying power to reduce the costs of our Franchised and Corporate locations; • Recruiting and awarding new franchise locations in the United States by continuing to invest in franchise marketing activities and develop stronger relationships with business brokers; Our Value Proposition: PROSHRED®’s sophisticated technology, backed by over 25 years of experience in information and materials destruction, consistently and reliably provides the best information security and liability protection for our clients. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 • Conducting acquisitions in key markets with a view to driving service depth in a market or region; • Continuing to implement our new workflow management software with enhanced routing capabilities; • By being involved in our communities by way of supporting local and national charities, conducting shredding events and continuing to recycle the paper and other materials collected and destroyed; and These activities are aimed at (1) increasing our national footprint in the United States, (2) continuing to grow system sales, (3) enhancing Redishred’s cash flows, and (4) contributing to the communities we operate in. Our goal for 2015 is to generate EBITDA of $2.53M for Redishred Capital Corp. We believe that our strategy will allow us to continue to grow our revenue, expand our footprint via franchising and acquisitions and continue to grow our net income and cash flows from operations. In closing, the management team of Redishred Capital Corp. would like to thank our hard working and dedicated franchisees and employees for their efforts and support in growing the PROSHRED® brand. Furthermore, we would like to thank our board of directors, shareholders, suppliers and most importantly our customers for their ongoing support.
