(BSNS WIRE) CBQ, Inc. Files 1999 Annual Report On Form 10-KSB CBQ, Inc. Files 1999 Annual Report On Form 10-KSB Business Editors ADDISON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2000--CBQ, Inc. (OTCBB:CBQI) The E-Business Marketplace today filed its 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for fiscal year 1999 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 1999, the company reported a net loss of $412,144 on revenue of $720,925, less than $.01 per share. That compares with a net loss of $21,579 on no revenue, less than $0.01 per share, for same period in 1998. The increase in losses reflects one-time costs incurred by CBQ, Inc. to either acquire or purchase a substantial position in three companies during fiscal year 1999. "1999 was a year of strategic growth and transition and the company was working to absorb its acquisitions," said John Harris, CEO, CBQ, Inc. "The addition of ChinaSoft and the efforts we have made to seed opportunities in China will begin to show returns in 2000 and beyond. We are grateful to the many people that have supported CBQ through this transition, recognizing the long-term value of preparing for outstanding e-business opportunities in China." Due to volatility particularly in the high-tech sectors of the stock markets, CBQ, Inc. has temporarily withdrawn its application for NASDAQ Small Cap Listing and will turn its full attention to pending Chinese business ventures. CBQ, Inc. recently announced that it is acting as Chung Hua Wireless Internet's agent, actively seeking companies from outside China that wish to supply equipment for building a wireless Internet network in southern China.
