JAMAICA, NY – February 15, 2011 -- Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTC BB:  JLWT), a full-service global provider of integrated transportation logistics and environmental services, announced today financial results for its fiscal first quarter ending December 31, 2010.
 
First Quarter Results
 
For the three months ending December 31, 2010, Janel reported revenue of $26,433,994, an increase of $9,436,062 or up 55.5% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. The first quarter revenue represents the highest first quarter revenue reported in the Company’s history. This quarterly milestone follows successive record revenues for the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010. The Company’s core logistics business units continue to outperform expectations in a recovering economy with a focus on global shipping lanes of traffic exhibiting strong growth and the Company’s core logistics services.
 
For the three months ending December 31, 2010, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $4,820 or $0.000 per fully diluted share, an improvement of $58,607 from the prior year reported net loss available to common shareholders of $(53,787), or $(0.003) per fully diluted share.
 
Review and Outlook
 
 ”Taking into account that our first quarter is historically the weakest due to seasonal factors, we are pleased with our results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010” said James N. Jannello, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer. “We now have had four consecutive quarter’s reflecting record quarterly revenue and positive earnings.  In addition, during the quarter we successfully assimilated our October 4, 2010 strategic acquisition of the assets of Ferrara International Logistics (Ferrara).”
 
Jannello continued, “Looking ahead, our expectation is for continued improvement in our financial results for 2011 and exceeding $100 million in annual revenue, based on a continuing modest recovery in global economic conditions.  Our recent asset acquisition of Ferrara and our core logistics business units continuing to perform in a recovering economy along with our anticipation that our customers will continue to report improvement in their respective businesses and the addition of new customers leads us to the expectation that we can finish fiscal year 2011 with another record revenue year and increased net income.”
 
Jannello concluded, “We are committed to growing our core transportation logistics segment and exploring opportunities to expand existing traffic lanes and services that generate higher operating margins which will continue to enhance the profitability of our business and build shareholder value.”
