ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast for a total of 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. ("Cargo Connection") is a transportation logistics provider based in Inwood, NY. Cargo Connection is engaged primarily in hauling truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments of general commodities in both interstate and intrastate commerce. Cargo Connection operates a domestic and an international logistics operation for all classifications of freight. The movement of this cargo is accomplished through a network of company drivers and owner-operators that provide needed resources for the book of business and the operational skill to maintain their customer base. Cargo Connection provides the back office operation for the companies, allowing them to focus on the business itself while Cargo Connection deals with the insurance, financial and regulatory portions of the business. In addition to its truck operation, Cargo Connection is in the warehouse and distribution movement of dry goods from its inbound locations at Atlanta, GA; Bensenville, IL; Columbus, OH; Inwood, NY and Miami, FL to points throughout the United States. These operations enhance the appeal to entrepreneurial agents mainly because it provides built-in backhauls from primary markets for their truck operations. Cargo Connection provides carriers with, amongst a host of other aspects of air carrier handling, electronic messaging, customer service, surface transportation, Unit Loading Device (ULD) control, and collection of monies. In the Chicago area, Cargo Connection operates a US Customs Bonded Container Freight Station in Bensenville, IL. It is a 92,000 sq. ft. facility that also operates as the Midwest trucking center. In New York, the USA headquarters, Cargo Connection operates a 105,000-sq. ft. US Customs Bonded Container Freight Station. At this location, Cargo Connection provides the build-up and breakdown of air cargo for airlines and freight forwarders. At one time Cargo Connection's largest airline partner in New York was El-Al Israel Airlines. Cargo Connection provided off Airport pallet building services for them. In the southeast Cargo Connection operates a 27,520 sq. ft. US Customs Bonded Container Freight Station just off the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta and a 36,000 sq. ft. US Customs Bonded Container Freight Station in Miami near Miami International Airport. Both operations serve as trucking operations for the region as well. In Columbus, Ohio, Cargo Connection currently operates a 52,000 sq. ft. US Customs Bonded Container Freight Station and trucking operation. Currently Cargo Connection has a fleet of approximately twenty 5000 pound Yale, Toyota and Komatsu Forklifts. Most of these trucks is leased with full maintenance agreements to ensure that the company is never left without the proper equipment. In addition, in those locations where it handles ULD's for the airlines, Cargo Connection has 15,000 lb. capacity trucks so the loaded ULD's can be moved efficiently. Pursuant to the Agreement, as additional consideration, the Company also issued shares of its preferred stock to Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast which are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock so that in twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast will own a total of eighty (80%) percent of the outstanding shares of the Company at such time. ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES On May 12, 2005, pursuant to the Agreement, we agreed to issue a total of a total of 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast. These shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance of shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a "public offering" as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, the size of the offering, and the manner of the offering. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market, and therefore not be part of a "public offering." Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction. ITEM 5.01 CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast will be issued a total of 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock shares of the Company's authorized common stock. The shares to be held by Cargo Connection and Mid-Coast represent a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock. As part of the Agreement, the following changes to the Company's directors and officers have occurred. David Goldberg resigned as the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors; and Thad Kaplan and Steven Field resigned as members of the Board of Directors, effective May 12, 2005. Jesse Dobrinsky was appointed as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer; Scott Goodman was appointed as the Company's Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer; and John Udell was appointed as the Company's Vice-President as of May 12, 2005. Further, Jesse Dobrinsky and Scott Goodman were appointed as members of the Board of Directors of the Company. ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS. David Goldberg resigned as the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors; and Thad Kaplan and Steven Field resigned as members of the Board of Directors, effective May 12, 2005. Jesse Dobrinsky was appointed as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer; Scott Goodman was appointed as the Company's Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer; and John Udell was appointed as the Company's Vice-President as of May 12, 2005. Further, Jesse Dobrinsky and Scott Goodman were appointed as members of the Board of Directors of the Company. Jesse Dobrinsky - President and CEO Jesse was born in 1956. He was raised and educated in New York. Jesse has been an entrepreneur all of his life. While working his way through college, Jesse worked as an assistant pharmacist and an assistant manager for Edison Brothers Shoes. In mid-1978 he and an associate opened a retail stereo shop called Sounds Incredible. They grew this business until the sales volume was in excess of one (1) million dollars per year. In 1981, Jesse was enticed into a family restaurant business where he spent the next year building up the business. In 1982, Jesse was given the opportunity to open a sales agency for a group of Midwestern meat haulers. This company was called Coast Dispatch, Inc. It was started in a small office in Manhattan and its focus was to sell westbound freight from the Northeastern portion of the United States. As this business grew, the customers began to inquire about trucks to haul freight throughout the country. In early 1983 Coast Dispatch, Inc. became an irregular route common carrier. Over the next twelve years Coast Dispatch, Inc. grew to over 40 company trucks and ten million dollars in sales. In 1995 Landstar Inway approached Jesse and asked him to open an Air-Freight Division for the Landstar group. This division was called Cargo Connection Logistics. With Jesse at the helm the company grew from less then three million dollars in sales in 1996 to over five million dollars in sales in 1997. In late 1997, Landstar Inway was directed to refocus on their core business and to disband any business that was not related to that core business. In 1997, Cargo Connection Logistics became a non-owned division of ARL and in 1998, did in excess of eight million dollars in sales. In 1999 the sales volume exceeded twelve million dollars and Cargo Connection Logistics became the largest non-owned division of ARL. Scott Goodman - COO and CFO Scott was born in 1959. He attended schools in New York and Massachusetts. Scott holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a major in accounting from Northeastern University. He also obtained his MBA from Adelphi University with majors in International Business and Corporate Finance. Scott began his career with Norman Goldstein Associates where his primary duties were as Controller for NGA and as Director of Operations for its subsidiary company, E & N Plastics. It was at this company that Scott began to travel the world. In 1983, Scott joined M. Blumenthal Graphics, a New York City printing house, as Controller and later as Director of Operations. In 1988, Scott went to work for Lafayette Precision Products. As Controller and Director of Purchasing, Scott was responsible for overseeing and managing the installation and implementation of a new computer system. In addition, he was very involved with developing new procedures for purchasing, inventory control and financial reporting. When Reichel & Drews bought the company and ultimately moved the operation to their headquarters in Itasca, IL in 1990, Scott went to work for Landes Marketing. At Landes Marketing Scott held dual positions as their Vice President and General Manager. He joined them in order to restructure their financial debt and reduce costs after heavy losses were sustained by the Landes family. Landes was a leader in the marketing and distribution of silver-plated tabletop and giftware. It was in this position that Scott began to develop a deeper understanding of the import business. One of the vendors Scott became intimate with was Ben Forman & Sons. In 1992, when Landes Marketing was being sold, Scott went to work for Ben Forman & Sons where he was responsible for the financial area of the multi-million dollar manufacturing company. He was also responsible for the company's related real-estate ventures. In 1995 Scott Goodman met Jesse Dobrinsky. In late 1995 he went to work for Coast Dispatch, Inc. as its CFO. In 1996 Scott joined Jesse Dobrinsky at Cargo Connection Logistics, where they went to work for Landstar Inway. With Jesse Dobrinsky as President, Scott joined the team as Executive Vice President. The company grew from less than three million dollars in sales in 1996 to over five million in sales in 1997. In late 1997, Landstar Inway was directed to refocus on their core business and to disband any business that was not related to that main business focus. In 1997 Cargo Connection Logistics became a non-owned division of ARL and in 1998 had sales volumes in excess of eight million dollars. In 1999 the sales volume exceeded twelve million dollars and Cargo Connection Logistics became the largest non-owned division of ARL. John L. Udell - Vice President John was born in 1955. He was raised and educated in New York. John has had an entrepreneurial spirit his whole life. While working his way through college, John had many jobs. In 1976, before completing his education, John was called home from school to help save the family business. Later that year, John became the Director of the Finishing Division for AMPCO Printing Company. It became John's responsibility to make sure that jobs were finished properly and shipped out in a timely manner. While performing this job it became clear to John that there was a need for and ultimately an opportunity for a trucking company that could provide expedited service for the printing industry. He took this concept to a friend and in 1982, Jesse Dobrinsky and John Udell formed a company called Coast Dispatch, Inc. John soon found himself intrigued by the growth and opportunity at Coast Dispatch, Inc. He soon decided to make it his full time career. Over the next 12 years John was very instrumental in the development and growth of Coast Dispatch, Inc. In 1996, when Jesse departed from the company, John became its President and began to lead the company into a rebuilding process. It was his dream to build a regional trucking company that would focus on the New York Tri-State Area. In 1996, after bringing the company through a major overhaul, the investors chose to shut down the company. During that last year John had managed to reduce the debts of Coast Dispatch, Inc. from just over two million dollars to less than fifty thousand dollars. John spent the balance of the year closing Coast Dispatch, Inc. and selling off the assets of the company. In mid-1997, John joined Cargo Connection Logistics as its Director of Container Freight Station Operations. In that capacity, John managed the two main CFS operations in New York and Chicago. John also headed up both the Safety & Compliance and Driver Recruitment Departments. No transactions occurred in the last two years to which the Company was a party in which any director or officer had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.

CARGO CONNECTION LOGISTICS HOLDING, INC. By: /s/ Jesse Dobrinsky -------------------------- JESSE DOBRINSKY President, CEO Dated: July 25, 2005 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. Inwood, New York We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. and affiliate, as of December 31, 2004 and the related combined statements of operations, and stockholders deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosure in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. and affiliate as of December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein. The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2004. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The combined financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Each company is involved in a different aspect of the industry as described. Cargo Cargo was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 20, 1996. Cargo is a third party logistics provider. Cargo specializes in transporting small and large shipments throughout North America through its transportation network.

AND AFFILIATE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) depreciated over three years and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining life of the leases. Reviews are regularly performed to determine whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated. The Companies assess the recoverability of its assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If assets are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book value of the assets is depreciated over the newly determined remaining useful lives. f) Revenue recognition Cargo recognizes all revenues based upon delivery of the goods at their final destination. Mid-Coast recognizes revenue upon the completion of services. Agency revenue is recorded on a net basis in accordance with the agency agreements which Cargo has with certain carriers. Agency revenue-net reflects gross trucking revenues, net of direct expenses paid by the carrier on behalf of the Companies, including the carrier's fees. Expenses for direct use of the Companies' trucks used in agency transactions are not netted against revenues and are included in direct operating expenses. Non-agency revenue generated directly by the Companies is recorded on a gross basis. Costs related to such revenue are included in direct operating expenses. g) Income taxes The Companies, with the consent of their shareholders, has elected under the Subchapter S provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and various tax laws to be treated as an "S" Corporation. Accordingly, there is no provision for Federal and State income taxes for the Companies, other than minimum taxes due and income tax on those local taxing authorities that do not recognize "S" Corporation status, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 because such liability is the responsibility of the individual shareholders. Effective with the business combination as described in Note 11, the Companies' "S" corporate elections are revoked and will be considered corporations of a consolidated group subject to Federal, State and Local Corporate taxes. On a prospective basis, the companies expect to have an effective income tax rate of approximately 40%. h) Estimated liability for insurance claims The Companies maintain automobile, general, cargo, and workers' compensation claim liability insurance coverage's under both deductible and retrospective rating policies. In the month claims are reported, the Companies estimate and establish any potential liabilities, if they exist, for its share of ultimate settlements using all available information, coupled with the Companies' history of such claims. Claim estimates are adjusted when additional information becomes available. The recorded expense depends upon actual loss experience and changes in estimates of settlement amounts for open claims that have not been fully resolved. However, final settlement of these claims could differ from the amounts the Companies have accrued at year-end. CARGO CONNECTION LOGISTICS CORP. AND AFFILIATE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) i) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. j) Fair value disclosure at December 31, 2004 and 2003 The carrying value for cash, receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of the Companies' long-term debt also approximate fair values based on current rates for similar debt. NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN The Companies occurred a net loss in the year ended December 31, 2004, and has had working capital deficiency in prior years. The Companies have devoted substantially all of their efforts to increasing revenues, achieving profitability, and obtaining long-term financing and raising equity. See subsequent event footnote with regard to financing. The Companies' combined financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Companies will continue as a going concern. Management is seeking various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures or other forms of debt will be pursued. The funding should alleviate the Companies' working capital deficiency and increase profitability. However, it is not possible to predict the success of management's efforts to achieve profitability. Also, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available when needed or, if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable. If the additional financing or arrangements cannot be obtained, the Companies would be materially and adversely affected and there would be substantial doubt about the Companies' ability to continue as a going concern. The combined financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classifications of liabilities necessary if the Companies become unable to continue as a going concern. NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment". SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", and supersedes APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Among other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. In addition, SFAS No. 123R will cause unrecognized expense related to options vesting after the date of initial adoption to be recognized as a charge to results of operations CARGO CONNECTION LOGISTICS CORP. AND AFFILIATE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (cont'd) over the remaining vesting period. The effective date of SFAS 123R is the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005, which is third quarter 2005 for calendar year companies, although early adoption is allowed. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R will be suspended until January 1, 2006, for calendar year companies. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact upon the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, for the Tax Deduction Provided to U.S. Based Manufacturers by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP FAS No. 109-1"). This statement requires the qualified production activities deduction as defined in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Jobs Act") to be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The statement also requires that the special deduction should be considered in measuring deferred taxes when graduated tax rates are a significant factor and when assessing whether a valuation allowance is necessary. FSP FAS No. 109-1 was effective upon issuance. In accordance with the Jobs Act, determination of the qualified production activities deduction is not required until 2005, however, due to Fresh Start reporting, THE COMPANY is required to adopt FSP FAS No. 109-1 as a Fresh Start adjustment on December 21, 2004. Due to the projected tax losses for the next few years, management does not believe that this statement will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets--an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29." This Statement amended APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact upon the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs". This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing", to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement will be effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year ending 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(Champion), and the Companies, Champion purchased all of the outstanding shares of the Companies for a total of 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of Champion's common stock to be accounted for as a reverse merger. For accounting purposes, the Companies are deemed to have been the accounting acquirer in the merger. Although Championlyte was the legal survivor in the merger and remains the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby the Companies was considered the "acquirer" of Championlyte for financial reporting purposes as the Companies had all significant operations and its stockholders controlled more than 50% of the post transaction combined company. Among other matters, reverse merger accounting requires Championlyte to present in all financial statements and other public information filings, prior historical and other information of the Companies, and a retroactive restatement of the Companies historical shareholders investment for the equivalent number of shares of common stock received in the merger. Accordingly, the consolidated and combined financial statements will present the results of operations of the Companies and reflect the acquisition of Championlyte under the purchase method of accounting. Subsequent to January 1, 2005, the operations of the Company reflect the consolidated and combined operations of the former Championlyte and the companies. Concurrently, as part of the transaction, Champion issued a $1,000,000 secured convertible debenture with a 10% interest rate to an investor. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Champion at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. Champion simultaneously issued to the Investor a Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Champion's common stock at an exercise price of $0.001. In twelve (12) months from the closing date, the Companies will own a total of eighty (80%) percent of the outstanding shares of Champion at such time. The acquisition was approved by the unanimous consent of Champion's Board of Directors on May 12, 2005. Name Change Effective May 23, 2005 the name ChampionLyte Holdings, Inc. was changed to Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. to better reflect the focus of the entity.
