Professional Transportation Group Ltd., Inc. Reports Operating Results for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 1997.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NOVEMBER 4, 1997--PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORTATION GROUP LTD., INC. (NASDAQ-SMALL CAP: TRUC, TRUCW) today reported increased revenues for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997. Revenues for the third quarter increased approximately $3.6 million or 65%, from $5.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, to $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. Pro forma net income increased approximately $45,0000 or 100% from approximately $44,000, or $.01 per share, to approximately $89,000, or $.02 per share, for the same periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, revenue increased approximately $11 million, or 78% over the comparable period of the prior year, to approximately $25 million. Pro forma net income for the period increased approximately $192,000 to $77,000, or $.02 per share, compared to a pro forma loss of $115,000, or $(.04) per share for the prior year. Pro forma results for the period ended September 30, 1997 included a one-time charge of $246,000, or $.06 per share, related to the change of tax status of the Company and certain subsidiaries from S Corporation status effective January 1, 1997.

Dennis A. Bakal, President and Chairman of the Board of PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORTATION GROUP LTD., INC., stated, "Although we are pleased with the continuing progress being made by the Company, we are disappointed that the delays in the Company's initial public offering postponed the ordering and delivery of new, less expensive equipment to the fourth quarter, and the implementation of other cost saving programs which are now being phased in."

Mr. Bakal further stated, "The recent marketing agreement entered into with Carpet Transport, Inc. and certain of its affiliates will immediately increase the Company's fleet of modern over-the-road tractors from 200 to over 750 which will allow the Company to bring more of its brokerage work in-house and remove the need to outsource other work when operating needs dictate. This will then allow most of the Company's brokerage subsidiaries' freight to operate under direct Company control, which will improve service and overall profitability."
