TLG Target Logistics

Target Logistics, Inc. (Amex: TLG), a domestic and international freight forwarder and logistics provider, today announced net income for the second quarter of FY 2007, ended December 31, 2006, of $589,504 or $.03 per diluted and basic share, compared to $976,314 or $.05 per diluted and basic share reported in the second quarter ended December 31, 2005. Second quarter revenue was $47.6 million, compared to the $46.7 million reported in the comparable 2006 fiscal period. Operating income for the FY 2007 second quarter was $1,115,275 compared to the $1,767,117 reported in the comparable FY 2006 second quarter. For the six month period ended December 31, 2006, net income was $866,456 or, $0.04 per basic and diluted share compared to $1.453 million, or $.07 per diluted share ($0.08 per basic share) for the six month period ended December 31, 2005. Six month revenue increased 10% to $91.0 million from the $82.8 million reported in the comparable FY 2006 period. Operating income for the six month period of FY 2007 was $1,685,227 compared to the $2,647,636 reported in the FY 2006 comparable six month period. �Although we had indicated that the first half of FY 2007 would be challenging, it was more so, given the absence of the normal peak season in the second quarter, which occurred throughout our industry," said Stuart Hettleman, President and CEO. �Coupled with a difficult comparison with Q2 FY 2006 -- a very strong period for Target -- revenue for the quarter rose only 2%. �Despite our disappointing first six months, management views the second half of FY �07 as a much stronger period for Target. This outlook is based on a number of factors: We have gained a number of new accounts, have a number of important new accounts pending and are expecting an increase in freight volume from existing clients. In addition, the acquisition we made in July of 2006 in our New York City station -- whose performance had negatively impacted gross margins and net income and whose improvement I had indicated was an important priority -- turned profitable in December. The performance of this important Target station should progress further for the remainder of the year. Finally, Target�s October 2006 acquisition in Albany, New York, has been fully integrated and was accretive to earnings during its first quarter of operations. �Accordingly, we are reaffirming our guidance for FY 2007,� concluded Mr. Hettleman. �We expect revenue to grow 15-22% for the year, and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.12 to $0.15." Philip Dubato, Chief Financial Officer of Target Logistics said, �As of December 31, 2006, we had over $16.9 million in cash and available credit to support our plans for growth. Our credit facility comes up for renewal this March and due to our 17 consecutive profitable quarters and the continual improvement to our balance sheet over the past 3 years, we are confident that we will be able to obtain more favorable terms and provide greater flexibility to our credit facility which will further support our strategies for internal growth and ability to make additional strategic acquisitions.� Target Logistics will hold a conference call at 4:00 PM.
