It operates an Internet-based business-to-business information exchange, which provides a centralized database of freight load information accessible by wireless device or through the Internet. The company also operates as a motor carrier that moves its contracted shipper's loads with leased trucks and trailers. The Fronthaul Group, Inc expects to grow their business specifically in the areas of 3rd party logistics, Transportation Brokerage, and Motor Carrier services. The Fronthaul Organization is the only referral based marketing transportation logistics brokerage and currently has over 4000 members. The company has embarked on a plan to bring shippers and drivers together in a forum on the internet to change the way business is done in the transportation industry, and in the process make a lot of money. The gimmick Fronthaul is sporting: “How would you like to make money on loads moved by others?” • On Apr 11,2006 The Fronthaul Group, Inc announced it has signed a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the total assets of a local trucking company in the Dallas Fort Worth area. This acquisition will add an additional 18 trucks to the Fronthaul Group family of logistic companies. The anticipated increase in first year revenues to the Fronthaul Group Organization should be approximately $12.8 million dollars. • On Mar 27, 2006 , The Fronthaul Group,Inc announced that it signed a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the total assets of Little Trucking, Inc. This acquisition will add an additional 12 trucks to the Load source Logistics, LLC. Fleet. The anticipated increase in first year revenues to The Fronthaul Group, Inc should be approximately $9.5 million dollars increasing revenues to approximately $28.5 million dollars and increasing the fleet to approximately 54 Semi-tractors in 2 years.. • On Mar 6, 2006 , Fronthaul announced that it has added additional equipment to its fleet under Load source Logistics, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fronthaul Organization. This development is expected to increase gross annualized revenue at today's prices to approximately $1,600,000, resulting in self-sustainability for Fronthaul and expected overall profitability going forward. We expect the company to exceed its current projection revenue goal from $28.5m to our new target of $34m for FY 2006 as the addition of 2 acquisitions and new model shift towards logistics. We believe the company is moving in the right direction, as the trend towards acquisitions is constant and proves to be profitable as expansion is the biggest key for growth and more demand. The shares are attractive given the valuation model, the company is trading at 0.4 times sales, which we believe compared to its peers is much undervalued. Over the next six months, the company will continue to focus on more acquisition and adding more trucks to the load source for more revenue recognition. This will be the main driver for company’s asset appreciation. With our estimate of $1.2m EBITDA for 2006, the company is trading at 6x earnings. But given the growth of the product, acquisitions, the company expects to produce $43m for 2007 with $5.1m EBITDA which represents roughly a P/E of 1.6x earnings, and trading at today’s price the growth is not reflected in the price of the stock. Therefore we believe the stock is undervalued at these levels. See Appendix A-1 for Analyst Certification and Important Disclosures.
