Core Solutions, Inc. Announces Status of Corporate Restructuring Plan LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 2002--Core Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:CSOU - News) announced today that its corporate restructuring plan is moving in a very positive direction and management anticipates reporting substantially increased earnings by year end. Recent reductions in both fixed and variable expenditures coupled with the development of a nationwide sales and marketing staff is expected to significantly improve monthly revenue figures for the remainder of the year. This week management also decided to terminate several consulting arrangements in an effort to provide the greatest benefits for its shareholders by maximizing the overall impact of every dollar spent on corporate development. The company has made significant investments towards the development of collateral materials and proprietary processes through the use of outside consultants. Management now believes that they are properly equipped to aggressively pursue new clients and market share on a national level without incurring additional consulting expenditures in particular areas. President Christine Favara reports, "I am confident that we have acquired an appropriate level of professional resources to achieve our annual revenue goal of $250 million within 36 months. We have organized a fantastic team of extremely qualified individuals who are dedicated to taking the company to the next level. I truly believe that employers need our services now more than ever before. Even though the condition of the economy has forced businesses to reduce expenses wherever possible, companies still need to pay their personnel and manage their human resource issues in an efficient and cost effective manner."
