Here is the whole picture, as I have it . . . in no particular order.
The Beginning: Comtech Consolidation Group, Inc. (the "Company") (formerly known as the Venning Group, Inc.) was incorporated on July 13, 1987 under the laws of the State of Delaware, to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including but not limited to selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company had been in the development stage from inception until August 12, 1997, at which time it acquired all of the capital stock of Networks On-Line, Inc., a network integrator and Internet service provider and began operations under its business plan. Networks On-Line, Inc. provides Internet access services to individuals and businesses in the Houston, Texas area and provides website hosting and Internet consulting on a nationwide basis. On February 15, 1998, the Company entered in the health care industry by acquiring Professional Management Providers, Inc., a Louisiana health care management corporation. In addition, on April 1, 1998, the Company acquired Unique Dawning, Inc., a Texas health care corporation. The Company business is the acquisition and consolidation of the business operations of small companies. It combines these small entities into larger organizations that can take advantage of their collective size and achieve economies of scale. To date the Company has acquired and is consolidating business operations in two industries, Healthcare and Internet services. The Company is filing this registration statement on a voluntary basis to comply with reporting requirements and maintain its listing status on the OTC Bulletin Board.The Company is presently consolidating businesses in two industries. Effective August 12, 1997 the Company began managing the operations of Networks On-Line, Inc. (NOL). NOL has been operating as an Internet service provider and network integrator. NOL's principal business is supplying Internet access to commercial and individual customers. Along with the service the NOL provided network integration services and supplied computer and network hardware as needed by its customers. NOL is continually seeking to expand its market position by acquiring or merging with other similarly situated providers. NOL supplies its Internet services through its own network, primarily in the Houston, Texas and surrounding regional area. NOL acquires large inbound and outbound telecom circuits from different suppliers, primarily Southwestern Bell Telephone and Savvis Communications, Inc. and resells these circuits to its business and individual customers. There are a number of providers, which the NOL can obtain service from and no circuits are single-source only. It markets its services through a combination of customer referrals, direct sales and advertising. In addition to its full-line of Internet access services the Company provides web hosting, Internet videoconferencing and network security consulting.
On the Management: The Board of Directors intends to obtain certain assurances of value of future target entity's assets prior to consummating new transactions, with further assurances that an audited statement would be provided within sixty days after closing of such a transaction. Closing documents relative thereto will include representations that the value of the assets conveyed to or otherwise so transferred will not materially differ from the representations included in such closing documents, or the transaction will be voidable.
What do they do? The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms that desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. The Company does not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind of nature. This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
The stock roughly: 19 Million shares out standing – 2 million currently on lock-up until December 31st, 1999. At that time, the company will meet at 6month intervals to evaluate the need/viability of further lock-ups. This lock-up is legally binding. 7 Million shares are available to the public (the public float).

NASDAQ and the future of OTC and of CCGI: The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (The "NASD"), which administrates NASDAQ, has recently made changes in the criteria for continued NASDAQ eligibility. In order to continue to be included on NASDAQ, a company must maintain $2,000,000 in total assets, a $200,000 market value of its publicly traded securities and $1,000,000 in total capital and surplus. In addition, continued inclusion requires two market-makers and a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, provided, however, that if a company falls below such minimum bid price it will remain eligible for continued inclusion on NASDAQ if the market value of its publicly-traded securities is at least $1,000,000 and the Company has $2,000,000 in capital and surplus. Management intends to maintain the above mentioned status and persue completion of the qualifications for listing on NASDAQ or some other national exchange. (Remember, The first filing was made on May 17th, 1999 . . . our 60 days are up on July 17th, 1999. As long as NASDAQ is not running behind, CCGI will achieve NASDAQ FULL COMPLIANCE AS A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY by next week!)
When can insiders sell: In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one year holding period, under certain circumstances, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period and who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company. (Remember, Kim Newsome was the only one who filed anything . . . and nobody knows the deal on that. As for Mr. Fields . . . he just bought more CCGI in his personal account. They must file each transaction, as I understand it . . . and that is the only one on record, that I know of. Also, in speaking with the company . . . NOBODY is selling . . . remember, most of those people are holding this stock from well over 1$)
Now, for some of my independent research . . . again, in no particular order:
CCGI traded at over 8$ during the third quarter of 1997 . . . The company did a 2 for 1 split in September of 1997 . . . The previous management goofed on a few things, and speculation on the Internet craze subsided . . . by the year's end, CCGI was trading at about 1$ . . . the trend has been relatively flat since then, with moves that are good on a percentage scale, but not worth explaining here. Now, 1997 was completely dependent upon the Internet operations of CCGI . . . it was not until February and April that CCGI acquired PMP and UDI, respectively. (These are the real money makers at this time . . . remember, like all Internet companies, CCGI's Internet Division, while very impressive online, is still an infant) . . . The company's founder passed away in November 1997, and a new management team was installed in April of 1998 . . . that is the personal story . . . we will get to the economical story in a minute. Remember all of this . . . and compare the financial info that I give to you with the stock price, etc.
CCGI trades on the OTC, and is not on a major Exchange (NASDAQ). As for most of these “penny” stocks, I have found that the vast majority of them could not hold a gun to your head and make you believe that what they tell you is true! If you look at most financial statements on OTC issues, then you will find (if you find anything at all) that the numbers are “unaudited.” So, what do these little start-up guys want? They want to achieve NASDAQ status. How do they do this? They grow, and they PROVE that they are growing. CCGI is doing this as we speak. Again, we will get to the financial data in a minute . . . In the meantime, they have filed the necessary documents with the SEC . . . upon first receipt, CCGI was asked to provide additional information . . . CCGI did so . . . SEC was happy . . . What is the next step? They will be reviewed for a 60 day period, after which time they will be granted with the status of being a NASDAQ compliant, Fully-Reporting company. How did they do this? CCGI has AUDITED financial data . . . and the necessary requirements have been met (I am assuming, read above concerning NASDAQ and FUTURE) . . . so, since the initial filing was dated May 17th, 1999, CCGI should receive its status on or near the date of July 17th, 1999 . . . What does all of this mean? It is the first step towards a listing on the NASDAQ Small Cap.
Ok, lets talk about who CCGI has on its side: Networks Online . . . nol.net This is a high-speed ISP that specializes in providing businesses with Internet access. They offer dial-up, ISDN, Rocket DSL, and T1 connections . . . web hosting, video-conferencing, international roaming, unix shell access . . . they are partners with Cisco, Network Solutions, Southwestern Bell, Ascend, and others.
EISP . . . or planetdirect.com This web portal is quite efficient . . . I have been using it for a few days now . . . and it is user friendly and I can actually use some of the features without going batty! Hehe. Customizable front page, weather, (SKI REPORTS! HEHE) financial data, and everything else that you could want. While Networks Online specializes in the Houston area, EISP is everywhere!
Since you can't look at PMP and UDI (The health care divisions), I will let some of the following numbers show you what is going on over there. ?
Recent News: HOUSTON, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- ComTech Consolidation Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CCGI - news) today announced that its subsidiary Unique Dawning Inc. has acquired Royal Living Personal Care Home. RLPCH is a housing facility for the chronically mentally ill. This new acquisition should add over $700,000.00 to UDI's current revenue stream by providing expanded services in addition to those already available through UDI's partial hospital facility in Houston. Commenting on the acquisition, UDI President Mr. Winfred Fields said, ''With the acquisition of RLPCH, Unique Dawning has further strengthened its presence in the Houston market. We are continuing with our internal growth strategy at all subsidiary levels at ComTech, as we further build on the accomplishments of 1998's tremendous growth rate.'' (Remember, this is a new factor to the balance sheet . . . and remember what was said by CCGI earlier . . . the acquired company must meet certain requirements . . . look for good things here, IMO)
HOUSTON, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- ComTech Consolidation Group Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CCGI - news) and Healthcor Holdings Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HCOR - news) today announced that ComTech subsidiary Unique Dawning Inc. has acquired Healthcor's Medicare and Commercial Home Health Care Operations located in Beaumont, TX in exchange for cash. These operations generated approximately 2 million dollars in revenues in fiscal 1998. Mr. Winfred Fields, ComTech chairman and chief executive officer, said, ''We are very pleased to announce this acquisition and further strengthen our presence in the Texas Healthcare Industry. We are continuing to evaluate our overall marketplace and identify potential acquisition targets.'' Mr. Fields continued, ''This acquisition will add significantly to our existing revenue stream while not causing any dilution to ComTech shareholders.''
CCGI acquires a division of HCOR . . . CCGI paid cash for this transaction. They did NOT issue more shares. Some have said that debt is a good thing, and that CCGI should have financed somehow. Well, I have some numbers coming for you . . . and I think that CCGI's ability to pay in cash is a pretty damn strong indicator. Now go look at HCOR . . . their balance sheet is in the toilet . . . however, CCGI's acquisition does not reflect the HCOR balance sheet, IMO. HCOR has been selling off many assets in an attempt to save itself, IMO. Again, this acquisition is a new additional to the already nice numbers (yes, they are coming . . . gimme a sec! Hehe).
Winfred Fields buys back his own stock on the open market. Now this is a no brainer. HOWEVER, some people have to find fault with it . . . they say, wow, big spender . . . indication to sell . . . etc. These are the same people who don't see anything wrong with Bill Gates' selling of several million shares of his stock. WHO CARES HOW MUCH HE BOUGHT? The fact is, he owns nearly ¾ million shares already, he HAS to file when he buys more, and he had some cash so he bought an undervalued stock . . . and who to know better than him?!!!
OK, I have taken enough of your time . . . I will get to the good stuff now . . . I am doing this on a word processor, as computers are not my forte! Bear with me! ?
We will look at 1997 . . . to 1998 . . . to THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1999 (The third numbers represent 1 quarter . . . while the first 2 will represent entire years)
Cash: 2533 – 150624 – 150560 Total Current Assets: 11604 – 5210593 – 6543469 Total Assets: 380607 – 7554566 – 9058345 Total Current Liabilities: 451264 – 4832102 – 5262991 Total Liabilities: 451264 – 4912797 – 5564697 Operating Income (LOSS): (168078) – 743690 – 751390 Net Earnings Per Share: (.03) – .05 - .05 (roughly) Under Stockholder's Equity . . . Retained Earnings (Deficit): (271631) – 443954 – 1191833
Recap . . . First quarter of 1999 is dominating all of 1998 . . . and 1998 can't even be compared to 1997 . . . Now reflect . . . in 1997, CCGI was (post-split) well over 4$ . . . you do the math.
Oh, I forgot . . . Net increase in cash from 1997 to 1998 . . . 2523 to 148101 . . . positive cash flow, too.
Now, who is making the money? CCGI (as whole) - PMP – UDI – Networks Online (in this order) Total Revenue: 993388 –7253787 – 790602 – 751558 Operating Income (Loss): 741701 – 992443 – 57557 – (54621) Net Earnings (Loss) 715585 – 995279 – 54539 – (56430)
Golly, isn't that amazing . . . the entire 4$+ valuation in 1997 was on the only division of CCGI that doesn't make money! But keep in mind that this is not bad . . . almost all new Internet companies are not positive at first. That is why they are valued so high . . . the future . . . and high speed access definitely has a place in the future. ?
Finally, some basic financial computations that help to evaluate and compare a company to itself and to others: All of 1998 to 1quarter of 1999:
OIROI (Operating Income Return On Investment): 9.8% to 8.3% Debt Ratio (Financed by debt): 65% to 61% (getting lower, good) ROA (Return on Assets): 9.8% to 8.3% ROE (Return on Equity (that's us)) 28% to 21.3% (1 quarter, remember! Beats 2% at the bank! Lol) Current Ratio: 1.08 to 1.28 (CCGI has 1.24 dollars in assets for each dollar of liability . . . notice that is going up!) Equity: 2641669 to 3493648 (Do I even have to comment on this? LOL)
Final thoughts . . . CCGI's Current Assets alone (Cash, receivables, etc) make the stock worth about 38 cents! CCGI's Total Assets (including buildings, etc) make the stock worth about 53 cents! In the past quarter, CCGI's equity has appreciated to the tune of about 5 cents per share . . . yet the price dropped . . .
This is my brain on CCGI . . . I hope it helps you.
