How Companies Can Save Thousands On Their Water Cooler Expenses

Family of SystemsPRLog (Press Release) - Aug 04, 2011 - Some companies spend tens of thousands of dollars on the bottled water, even in these difficult economic times. While cuts are being made in other areas of business operation the cooler is overlooked. In addition to the invoice cost of the water the cooler costs businesses money in several other ways. Employee down time spent taking deliveries, switching out bottles, tedious accounting time spent keeping up with the ever changing bill amounts and the risk of time loss and law suits from on the job injuries caused by handling the 40+ pound bottles. Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of these coolers... the wasted space on storing the bottles. Some companies have an entire room devoted to storage of the big plastic jugs. In NYC where real estate prices are sky high there is actually a significant cost related to storing these archaic bottles... again overlooked.

A lot of companies have gotten wise to the bottled water game and replaced the bottled coolers with point of use filtration systems. Some make the change based on savings, some as an eco-friendly move, some for the convenience provided and some based simply on the fact that filtration systems deliver cleaner, healthier water than the bottled coolers.

Bottled water coolers are known to be chock full of bacteria. Airborne contaminants easily enter the reservoir and yet more contaminants are introduced through handling the bottles and during the bottle change. One infamous contaminant is present before the bottle is even opened - BPA, the hormone mocking chemical which is present in the plastic bottle and leaches into the water supply. BPA has been linked to numerous serious health problems including cancer, heart disease and diabetes. The use of BPA in baby bottles was banned years ago and has been named as a chemical of concern by the EPA. Despite all of the press and scientific research even health conscious people often fill their cups with water from the bottled coolers.

There is a misconception that installing a point of use filtration system is a disruptive, time consuming and costly process. Gary Cucuzza of Pure Planet Waters, a NY based company said new clients are often "wowed" by the simple transition. "When prospective clients learn that our installation is absolutely free and often takes less than 45 minutes the decision is an easy one, we often save clients 50% on their water expenses and we provide them with a cleaner, healthier water supply - it is a no brainer." Pure Planet Waters provides both commercial and residential filtration systems and service throughout NY, NJ and CT. "We not only provide our clients with savings and cleaner water, we also provide them with hassle free water. Our systems eliminate the numerous inconveniences of the bottles and we maintain the systems and replace the filters at no cost." Pure Planet Waters provides scheduled service every six months to ensure their systems are always operating at peak performance.

Companies Come And Go At News Corp's Uk Operations

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 21, 2011 – In the last few days Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation has attempted to dissolve some of its key UK companies and new companies have been formed.

According to a report in the financial research newsletter "Marketing Services Financial Intelligence", News Corp has sought to dissolve the News International Publishers, parent company of its main UK newspaper publishing subsidiaries that include News Group Newspapers (publisher of "The Sun" and the recently closed "The News of the World") and Times Newspapers.  

An application was also made to dissolve a subsidiary of News Group Newspapers called News 2026 that owns the publishing rights to the major titles and collects multi million pound royalties from group companies that actually publish them, but that application has since been withdrawn.

News Group Newspapers made a post-tax profit of £86 million in the year to 30 June 2010, boosted by a dividend from its subsidiary News 2026 derived from royalties received from News Corp newspaper titles.  The tax charge on the company's massive profit was a mere £2.5 million.

While the group was busily trying to dissolve some of its companies, it was also registering new ones, including News of the World Publications, News of the World Online, News of the World Media, and News of the World Newspapers – presumably to protect the title while decisions are made about whether it will be reborn in a different guise in the future.

China Daily: Companies Listed in the US Fight Claim by Short Seller

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 19, 2011 – The China Daily, with a daily circulation of over 500,000  is the English language mouthpiece for the Chinese government, and is often used by the government as a guide to official policy.  It is generally acknowledged that the paper reflects the Communist Party’s policy.

This makes the front page story in the China Daily even more interesting.  The headline of the article was “Companies Listed in the US Fight Claim by Short Seller.” Just the fact that the story was on the front page leads one to the conclusion that the Chinese government is taking the accounting issues that have affected Chinese companies listed in the U.S., Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore very seriously. It also  confirms the importance of the foreign capital that the Chinese companies traded overseas have been able to attract, and that the Chinese government wants this flow of capital to continue.

Of greater importance is the fact that the story highlighted actions being taken by companies that have been attacked by short sellers.

One of the companies attacked by short sellers was Spreadtrum Communications.  The company saw its share price plunge almost 70 percent from $24 to $8 after a report was  published on June 28th by the research firm Muddy Waters.  The company’s shares have recovered and today the shares closed at $14.75.  Spreadtrum Communications had indicated that Muddy Waters allegations were groundless. Leo Li, the company’s CEO was quoted by the China Daily as saying that “Muddy Waters’ report lacks supporting material and Spreadtrum has solid fundamentals.”

In a Bloomberg Television interview, Carson Block, the CEO of Muddy Waters had hinted that he might have been wrong about Spreadtum Communications.

The China Daily story also stated,” …market watchers said that Spreadrum case has hurt the credibility of Muddy Waters and that the game of shorting Chinese stocks may soon come to an end.”

Hung Haizhou, the chief strategist at China international Capital Corp. (CICC) was also quoted as saying, “Companies 1916338565  such as Muddy Waters won’t have a long lasting impact on US listed Chinese companies, and we think that the turning point may soon emerge.”  Huang was also quoted as saying, “The activities of short sellers such as Muddy Waters will soon come to an end, and Muddy Waters may be faced with legal action by the Chinese companies if its claims are proven to be false.”

Friedland Capital provides corporate finance advisory services to publicly-traded and privately-held emerging growth companies worldwide to help them achieve their short-term capital goals, and to realize their long-term business objectives.
