NexCen Brands, Inc. began its current brand acquisition and management strategy in June 2006, when it acquired UCC Capital Corporation. UCC Capital was the premier provider of financing and strategic advisory service to companies with core assets in Intellectual Property, and its acquisition provided NexCen with a management team that had significant expertise in investing in brands, creating value in the brands it owned, and using a disciplined approach to investing its capital to generate high returns on investment. UCC Capital also provided NexCen with significant contacts and networks in each of the industries in which NexCen operates today.

Since acquiring UCC Capital Corporation, and under the leadership of UCC's founder Robert D'Loren, NexCen has successfully acquired brands in each of our operating segments. Today our brands generate in excess of $ 1.3 billion in retail sales.
