We acquired several businesses in 2008 and have made considerable progress in those optimization efforts,” said William King, CEO. “Management continues to work diligently with both existing and new lenders to reduce and restructure the debt used to make our initial acquisitions. We feel confident that these discussions will be fruitful and that we will succeed in reducing our debt service which would greatly improve our bottom line.”
Mr. King added, "As previously announced, Alentus recently completed an additional acquisition and we are optimistic that we will be able to grow that business as well and it should add to the overall results as the year progresses."
