Here's something FYI - could CBQI be back??????

By Michael P. Bruno,Washtech.com Staff Writer
Thursday, April 5, 2001; 4:00 PM

CBQ Inc., an e-business infrastructure company based in Hunt Valley, this afternoon said it has acquired nearly all of the assets of Technet Computer Services Inc. of Tysons Corner and Networkland Inc. of Arlington for an undisclosed amount of stock.

They are "not the last, just watch," said Bart S. Fisher, CBQ's chairman, president and CEO. Fisher further said CBQ has inked letters of intent to buy two unidentified Baltimore-area companies, which he expects will close in the next two months.

The four acquisitions would add about 80 employees to CBQ, which currently employs about 150 people with the two Northern Virginian staffs counted. A month ago, CBQ announced a deal to acquire EasySoft International, a Miami software outsourcing company with offices in Beijing, China.

CBQ is hoping the acquisitions will more than double its revenue, which came in at $11 million in 2000, and help bolster its languishing stock. The stock [OTCBB:CBQI] closed Wednesday at 15 cents a share, way off its 52-week high of $9.88.

The company is dumbfounded why its stock price has not gained value, Fisher said. "I'm very frustrated that there is something out there we can't control," he said. "If there are no buyers, then there are no buyers." He said CBQ plans to move up to a bigger board such as the Nasdaq or American Stock Exchange within two months, but declined to say how that would be done.

The Northern Virginian acquisitions mirror CBQ's Baltimore-area software development assets, Fisher said. Technet and Networkland will beef up CBQ's workforce, extend its geographical footprint, open the door to federal contracts and enhance the company's offerings.

The expected acquisitions of two Baltimore-area companies also will bolster the company's offerings. One is a Web design and hosting group while the other is a network integration and infrastructure company - both areas in which CBQ does not currently concentrate.

Hi Jim, Sorry to hear about your brother. The sudden losses are the hardest to take. My brother is in poor health, although he refuses to admit it. He does not have any children to leave behind though when he passes. I hope that your brothers children are grown and able to handle the impact that this will have on their lives. It sounds like you are handling it all very well. My condolences to your family and your brothers family. Sincerely, Bob

James I tried calling you earlier after you talked
to Speedy, but you had probably gone.
I offer my sympathy, and wish you and your family live long
for him.

A traveler was stumbling through the desert, desperate for water, when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little old peddler sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out. The parched wanderer asked, "Please, I'm dying of thirst, can I have
some water?" The man replied, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie? Here's one that goes nicely with your clothes." The desperate man shouted, "I don't want a tie, you idiot, I need water!" "OK, don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'll tell you that over that hill there, about 5 miles, is a nice restaurant. Walk that way, and they'll give you all the water you want." The man thanked the peddler and walked away towards the hill and eventually disappeared out of sight. Three hours later he returned. The man at the card table said, "I told you, about 5 miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?" "I found it all right. They wouldn't let me in without a tie..."
