(OTCBB:CIGI) ("Coach"), a holding company focused on manufacturing luxury limousines and specialty vehicles, announced today that its new wholly-owned subsidiary, Coach Financial Services, Inc., purchased a commercial portfolio of transportation leases with a face value of $1.5 million.

All of the leases are performing assets. The leases are expected to have an immediate positive impact on revenues and cash flow of Coach.
