Cardiff Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Ride Today Acceptance


FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - Feb 2, 2017) - Cardiff International, Inc. (OTC PINK: CDIF) announced today they entered into an LOI (Letter of Intent) to acquire Ride Today Acceptance, LLC (RTA).

Founded in January 2015, RTA capitalizes on a unique and profitable financing opportunity in the U.S. sub-prime motorcycle financing market. RTA has spent the last two years building a financial infrastructure and expanding its dealer footprint. As of January 1st, 2017, RTA has 204 dealers in 15 states. 2016 garnered over $6.5MM in original loans, ending the year with a portfolio of over $7MM with losses of less than 1.6%.

Unlike the subprime auto industry, RTA provides customers two major advantages over a subprime auto loan: 1.) favorable payment terms; 2.) assets with a slower depreciation rate. 

With over 65 years of combined experience in dealerships, finance companies and credit risk management, RTA's senior management believes it's in their best interest to become part of Cardiff which provides them the financial platform to double their business over the next 12 months projecting their portfolio between $15-$20MM.

The U.S. new motorcycle sales averages approximately $350MM annually, while used motorcycle sales exceed $1.3B annually. RTA was recognized by Power Sports Finance in December as one of the top 10 sub-prime lenders in 2016.

In August 2016, RTA entered into an agent agreement with RPMOne, a leader in sales of Powersports after-market products currently in 800 dealerships nationwide.
