Concorde America, Inc. Disclaims Prior Information Releases BOCA
RATON, Fla., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Concorde America,
Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: CNDD), today disclaimed any involvement in
the composition or public dissemination of statements, dated July
28 and August 9, 2004, respectively, which were issued over PR
Newswire and appeared in various media services. The first such
release, entitled "First Global 'Monster' Employment Placement
Service Launched", stated that the Company had developed a "unique
solution" to the labor shortage problems purportedly facing
European nations as a result of a lack of population growth.
Furthermore the company had entered into a "new agreement with the
Spanish government", and expected to "place over 200,000 workers in
Spain". The release purported to quote Company officials in a
manner which reflected extremely high business and earnings
expectations. It stated that any contact concerning the release was
to be made "for Concorde America" to "Paul Spreadbury,
WallSt2MainSt, Inc.", and provided contact information. In fact,
(a) no Company official was interviewed or otherwise contacted in
connection with the release, (b) Mr. Spreadbury is not employed by
nor has any other relationship with the Company, and (c) the
Company has never identified its business plan as being "unique",
has not entered into any contractual arrangement with the Spanish
government, has made no public announcement concerning possible
future earnings, earnings growth or profitability, and has not
specified the number of workers that it may be able to supply to
any European country under any existing or future contract. Because
of inquiries made by the Company of Mr. Spreadbury and others as to
the source of the first release, the second release, entitled
"Correction", was disseminated as of Monday, August 9. While it
stated that the quoted material present in the first release was to
be eliminated, it incorrectly identified the Company as being the
source of the new content, Boca Raton, Florida as being the
physical site of issuance, and "John Richey of Concorde America" as
being the Company representative to contact. The Company has had no
contact with the author of the new statement, did not authorize its
release, does not employ Mr. Richey, has no relationship with him
and no has knowledge as to his existence or involvement with the
release. The new statement incorrectly implied that the Company had
directed how the original statement was to be revised to render it
accurate, when, in fact, no contact was made by the author of the
second statement with any Company representative. Finally, the
statement again attributes a specific number of workers to be
placed in Spain, now refers to a Company agreement "with one of
Spain's largest agricultural firms" when the Company has no
information as to the comparative size of the entity with which it
has contracted, and makes extremely aggressive predictions about
how the Company's business model may be received in Europe. Hartley
Lord, the Company's President, stated that: "While we recognize
that analysts and others interested in the European labor market
have the right to publish whatever statements they choose about the
Company's business model, we wish to make clear to the investing
public that the statements made in the referenced releases have not
been authorized by Concorde America, Inc., nor has any Company
official provided any of the information contained therein. While
we have faith in the plans that are being developed, the Company is
in its formative stage, and will need to develop substantial
experience in the European marketplace before we are prepared to
provide any public information concerning our operational results
or expectations. At such time, we will clearly identify any release
authorized or issued by the Company." Concorde America, Inc. and
its subsidiary entities are in the business of recruiting and
supplying unskilled documented immigrant workers, to be drawn
largely from Central and South America, for employment in European
countries in industries related to agriculture, construction,
domestic help, industrial and commercial maintenance, cleaning, and
security. The Company's stock is traded over-the-counter under the
symbol CNDD. CONTACT: Hartley Lord, President, Concorde America,
