December 4 - Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. Announces Steps to Improve Operations and Facilitate Growth
Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. (OTCBB: CRGO) (Berlin: CD6.BE) (Frankfurt: CD6.F) (Frankfurt: 217026.F) provided an update on several areas of great interest relating to the Company, its operations and its anticipated future growth.
Jesse Dobrinsky, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, stated that:
"In our continuing efforts to increase the value of the Company to our stockholders, we have taken several recent steps that have improved the Company's financial condition, operations and prospects, including:
-- We have replaced the factoring facility that was in place for our Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. subsidiary, our primary operating subsidiary. We have entered into a new factoring agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit, which increases our factoring capacity and provides more favorable terms, including a lower cost of funds.
-- In addition, we have jettisoned certain portions of our business that were not profitable and have replaced them with business that provides a positive return for the Company. Through this process we are also reducing our dependence on some of our larger customers, making us less vulnerable to the impact of any major customer on our revenues and earnings.
-- We have amicably resolved a dispute with the landlord of our Miami facility.
-- We continue to pursue our proposed acquisition of Fleet Global Services, Inc. We recently loaned Fleet Global $300,000 and we received from it a one-year promissory note bearing an annual interest rate of 11 percent. We expect that amount of the note would be applied toward the cash portion of the purchase price of Fleet. We are continuing to attempt to raise sufficient capital to fund this acquisition.
-- Once the Fleet Global acquisition is complete, ITG, which is a joint venture that the Company had set up for exactly Fleet Global's kind of agent operation, will finally have the opportunity to get off the ground. We expect that it will get a major boost from Fleet Global's existing operations.
-- We have made many sacrifices at the corporate and operational level, including payroll reductions and executive salary deferrals.
-- In light of disappointing results in our international division, we have furloughed several personnel. While we still believe that our international division has great promise, we intend to continue to approach growth in this area of our business cautiously. In the meantime, we have directed our focus to growth in domestic sales.
-- We have made concerted efforts to evaluate each aspect of our business and in the process we have reduced costs in areas that have not been producing sufficient revenue or operating profitability. We continue to constantly evaluate each aspect of the Company with respect to its performance and sustainability.
-- We have increased head count in our Chicago facility to accommodate the new business operations there that began operating in mid 3rd quarter 2007.
-- We continue to develop and demonstrate a prototype of our new Rad-rope(TM) product to both government and private enterprise potential customers, and believe that we have received a great deal of interest in this product. The developer of this technology continues to support the device and is assisting in the changes that have been requested by potential customers.
-- All executive officers and directors have refrained from selling any shares of Company stock
Mr. Dobrinsky continued: "In light of all the progress we have made, as described above, we are confident that we are on the right track and that we will succeed. We are continuing to explore new sources of financing, which we expect would be critical to our performance, including allowing us to complete our proposed acquisition of Fleet Global, which we believe in itself would dramatically improve the Company's revenue base, results of operations and financial condition."
