Janel World Trade Completes Acquisition of the Assets of Ferrara International Logistics Adding $7.0 Million in Top-Line Revenue

Business Mix Expected to Yield Gross Profit Margins Up to 36%

JAMAICA, NY--(Marketwire - 10/04/10) - Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTC.BB:JLWT), a full-service global provider of integrated transportation logistics and environmental services, today announced the acquisition of the remaining assets of Ferrara International Logistics, Inc. of New Jersey. The purchase price is in the form of an earn-out over three years and includes a combination of stock and cash. In July 2008 the company acquired the customs brokerage book of business from Ferrara.
James N. Jannello, Chief Executive Officer of Janel World Trade, Ltd. said, "We are very pleased with the completion of this strategic acquisition. Ferrara International Logistics and Janel have worked together for over two years and we know the value that Nick Ferrara and his people offer to their many customers. We look forward to increasing our company's revenue and enhancing our value-added services in trade lanes we know very well, in addition to supporting our common customers in similar industries. A key factor for our decision to acquire Ferrara was the expertise they bring in the import and export of food products, which significantly improves our core competency in this critically important market for our organization. Enhancing the value of this acquisition is the ability to sell Janel's value-added logistics solutions to additional customers." Jannello continued, "With over 150,000-sq. ft. of fully equipped warehouse space, plus a customs-bonded container freight station near major air, sea, rail, and trucking hubs, Ferrara will continue to bring additional capacity, convenience, custodial care, and cost control for our new and mutual clients. We see this as an opportunity to gain additional market share and offer additional value-added services to a broader market."
Jannello concluded, "With the recent completion of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, we now know that Janel had a breaking record year in terms of revenue and we look forward to an even better year in fiscal 2011."
Philip J. Dubato, Janel's Executive Vice President of Finance said, "Ferrara's book of business will add approximately $7.0 million to top-line revenue with an anticipated 36% gross profit margin to Janel. This acquisition is another step toward further growth and expansion of our core business and supports our corporate objective of becoming a rapidly growing, highly competitive and profitable global company."
