COTELLIGENT, INC. NEGOTIATING ACQUISITION TO EXPAND MARKET
SHARE OF GROWING MOBILITY MARKETPLACE
Companies' complementary expertise will expand offerings to and support
of clients
Irvine, CA -July 2, 2003 - Cotelligent, Inc. (OTC BB: CGZT), a leading developer
of business solutions that enhance, integrate and extend enterprise information
to mobile and Web technologies, announced today that it has signed a non-binding
letter of intent to acquire a Field Force Automation (FFA) software company that
will strengthen Cotelligent's position in the mobility marketplace.
Cotelligent is currently in advanced negotiations and due diligence with the
undisclosed software company and expects to sign a definitive agreement in July.
Certain conditions must be met prior to closing.
In a letter to shareholders this past April, Cotelligent discussed its on-going
strategy to merge, acquire or invest in companies that would strengthen
Cotelligent's competitive position. One part of the strategy is to build upon
Cotelligent's capability in mobile solutions and post-implementation support.
"Cotelligent now has an outstanding platform with a strong infrastructure, clean
balance sheet, significant operating capital ...and most importantly, the
management know-how to build to greater scale in a tough environment," wrote
James Lavelle, Cotelligent Chairman and CEO.
The other part of the strategy calls for stronger critical mass of revenue and
lower combined company SG&A by leveraging Cotelligent's scalable infrastructure.
The contemplated acquisition achieves these objectives by realizing a
significant incremental increase in revenue and reduction of the combined
operating expenses.
In addition, Cotelligent believes the acquisition will leverage its mobility
application development expertise with an FFA software product which complements
Cotelligent's strategy. "We believe both companies' shareholders will benefit by
merging capabilities compared with a go-it-alone strategy. Their specific
industry expertise and global reach will make Cotelligent an even stronger
contender with our combined global clients and prospects," said Lavelle.
The potential is already being realized by new prospects. Both companies are
currently proposing the use of the software company's product hosted by
Cotelligent and supported by Cotelligent's help desk.
