ComTech Consolidation Group, Inc. Announces Acquisition and Updates Aggressive Revenue Growth Figures for 2nd Quarter '98
HOUSTON, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- ComTech Consolidation Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CCGI - news), today announced that it has finalized the acquisition of One Step Forward Mortgage, Inc. (OSF), a Texas corporation that is headquartered in Houston. The stock for stock transaction, effective April 1, 1998, was consummated by ComTech issuing 250,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the OSF shareholders in exchange for their capital stock in OSF. OSF is a facilitator company that specializes in arranging turn key financial assistance (including bonding) and property management services, designed to meet the needs of health care providers throughout the Gulf Coast Region.
ComTech stated that it expects OSF sales to reach over $11.0 million for the balance of this year, thereby increasing ComTech's 1998 sales forecast from $10.0 million to $21.0 million, and increasing before tax earning from $1.8 million to $2.65 million. ComTech went on to state that it has updated its sales forecast for second quarter of 1998 from $1.7 million (see May 12, 1998 announcement) to $5.1 million, an increase of approximately 300%.
Mr. Roger R. Stewart, ComTech's CEO and Chairman, commented, ''Early last month when we announced that our sales were on target to reach $1.7 million for the second quarter, that was prior to concluding the OSF acquisition. Now that we have both OSF and Unique Dawning, Inc. (UDI Consortum) posting combined monthly sales of $1.62 million for April and $1.78 million for May, we have sound reason to believe that ComTech will post sales of $5.1 million for the second quarter with EBIT earnings around 13.5%, representing roughly $.03 a share in net earnings for the quarter.''
Mr. Stewart went on to state, ''ComTech's business fundamentals have vastly improved during the second quarter, with more contemplated for the third and fourth quarters of this year, during which OSF should continue to post monthly sales between $1.2 million to $1.5 million, while UDI continues to build its sales from the $700 thousand a month range to roughly $2.0 million by year end (including planned roll-ups transactions). Based on these assumptions, our financial model indicates that CCGI should post net earnings between $.11 and $.15 per share for 1998.''
Mr. Lloyd P. Boussard, OSF's CEO, commented, ''OSF operations certainly appear to compliment ComTech and UDI's roll-up activities, with the way the health care industry is headed. All growing care providers continually require additional space, likewise they require additional bonding capacity, which is what OSF is able to provide.''
Mr. Winfred Fields, CEO and Chairman of UDI, also commented, ''With OSF now under the ComTech umbrella, it certainly enhances our roll-up capabilities.''
