Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. CEO Issues Shareholder Message.INWOOD, N.Y. -- Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :CRGO) today issued the following message to shareholders: To The Shareholders of Cargo Connection Logistics Holdings, Inc.: Many of you have inquired as to why there has been little news over the past few months. Frankly, it is because we have not been able to solidify any of the business opportunities we have talked about in our earlier press releases. However, that doesn't mean we have not been working diligently to move forward with these transactions, as well as several other transactions which we hope to be able to announce in the near future. We will provide a comprehensive year-end review once we close out the fiscal year. By that time we believe that we will be able to announce publicly much of what has been worked on during this quarter. Unfortunately, during the past few months we have all watched the value of the stock deteriorate for no apparent reason. Regrettably, some shareholders have interpreted the lack of news with a lack of activity on our part, which could not be further from the truth. While I cannot comment on the performance of our stock and why it has taken such a precipitous drop in price, I can state that we believe that it is trading well below a realistic market value. Clearly, as one of the Company's major shareholders the price of the stock affects me as much as anyone! There has also been a great deal of speculation regarding the increase in the company's authorized shares Authorized shares Number of shares authorized for issuance by a firm's corporate charter. . This message is being sent out primarily to address this issue. Like any growth company, in order to accomplish our business plans we need to raise funds for our operations. Therefore, we have just finalized a funding transaction which will consolidate our previous funding and provide us with some short-term funds for working capital requirements Capital requirements Financing required for the operation of a business, composed of long-term and working capital plus fixed assets. .

It was for this reason and this reason alone that we are increasing our authorized shares. Our issued and outstanding shares have remained basically consistent since our last 10-QSB. Again, the increase in authorized shares was a requirement to meet certain funding requirements and the funding was essential for the financial well being of the Company. I want to emphasize that none of the officers or directors have taken additional shares during the past few months. I remain cautiously optimistic op·ti·mist n. 1.
