Subsidiary Staffco in Discussions With Major Sports Teams
CONSOLIDATED GENERAL INC.
announces that it has formed a new subsidiary, Staffco Enterprises LLC.
Staffco was formed to explore management and investment opportunities in
the Sports Franchise and Entertainment industry.
The Company currently has formed a division to specifically target the
needs of Tier 1 and Tier 2 sports verticals and will leverage its knowledge
in the sports and entertainment business to provide management, marketing,
operations, accounting, finance, media and public relations expertise. The
Company also plans to buy numerous sports teams with the ultimate goal of
buying a NBA, NFL, and AFL franchise.
According to Pierre Quilliam, CFO, "This new revenue generating center of
the company was formed due to a pressing demand in the marketplace for
these services. We have already started hiring the right people to
spearhead this new division and I am excited about its potential to
immediately generate revenue for the company. The North American sports
market generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and we are
positioned to generate fifty million dollars in revenue by the end of 2005.
The following graph reaffirms the attractiveness of our business model and
demonstrates the significant revenue opportunities that exist today."

Staffco Enterprises will provide its staffing expertise to teams requiring
revenue, fan base, sponsorship and corporate sales growth. As electronic
media such as the internet becomes more accessible, the fan base of
professional sports, both locally and internationally are poised to grow
exponentially. Sponsorship and broadcasting rights account for between 65
and 85 percent of most teams' income and are one of the main sources of
professional sports revenue. Staffco's management aims to increase overall
corporate sales growth by exploring all possible revenue streams.
