Anything Green Online, a division of Anything Brands Online, Initiates Consumer Direct Produce Program http://www.anythingrv.com/article.php/anyg3 http://www.anythingrv.com/article.php/anyg3 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:28:47 -0400 Press Releases Anything Green Online, a division of Anything Brands Online, Initiates Consumer Direct Produce Program With Prices at 10 to 20% less than Supermarkets &amp; Donating a Percentage to Local Charities<br /> Anything Brands Online, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ANYT) announced today the launch of a new Anything Green Online (AGO) Division (<a href="http://www.anythingreenonline.com">http://www.anythingreenonline.com</a>) Consumer Direct Marketing Program. The new AGO program will save consumers 10 to 20% on their purchase of fresh produce delivered direct to their workplace and also deliver food donations to local charities, food banks and homeless shelters. AGO will donate 2 pounds of fresh produce to local food banks and charities for every 10 pounds of produce sold through the consumer direct program.<br /> <br /> To reduce costs, AGO will purchase organic and conventional produce from growers based on orders from consumers, avoiding the cost and waste associated with warehousing and estimating consumer demand. Unlike expensive home delivery programs from supermarkets, AGO will deliver to the workplace with a minimum of 20 individual orders. Although this may limit the number of consumers who can benefit from the 10 to 20% discounts, the potential for this program can be measured in the tens of millions of users, especially in major metropolitan areas, where the majority of persons in need presently exist and who will benefit from the charitable element of the program.<br /> <br /> According to Marc Schechtman, the Program Director, “ Every employee at mid-size and large companies can now reduce their weekly produce grocery bill by 10 to 20%, and also help feed the men, women and children in their community who need a helping hand during these troubled times”. The AGO program offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for consumers. If the product is not perfect when delivered, the consumer will receive a credit towards new products the following week. AGO customers can also direct food donations to local charities of their choice. For more information about this program, visit <a href="http://www.anythinggreenonline.com">http://www.anythinggreenonline.com</a> or contact info@anythinggreenonline.com.<br /> <br /> About Anything Brands Online, Inc.<br /> The Anything Green Online division has developed a “Green” farming program with the goal of providing funding and technology to family-owned farms in California. The program has a charitable component that is based upon centralized employee purchases for produce with a formula that will reward charitable organizations that feed the homeless and assist others in need.

Stimulate Job Creation through Delivery of Organic and Natural Produce Direct to Consumer at Favorable Prices.<br /> TUCSON, AZ &amp; OVERLAND PARK, KAN. -- (Marketwire) – 6/03/09 -- Anything Brands Online, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ANYT) announced today the official launch of its Anything Green Online Division (<a href="http://www.anythingreenonline.com">http://www.anythingreenonline.com</a>) addressing the unemployment of farm workers in California. AGO has developed relationships with farm management, financial, marketing and technical equipment providers to execute this program. They will utilize the considerable experience available from the myFreightWorld and Anything Trucker divisions of Anything Brands Online for the management of all logistics from grower to consumer.<br /> <br /> With Green Agriculture Technology, thousands of new jobs can be created in Imperial Valley, California. Imperial County, California has one of the highest unemployment rates in the USA, 26.9%. This is higher than the national average during the Great Depression. (Source: <a href="http://www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20030124ar03p1.htm">http://www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20030124ar03p1.htm</a>)<br /> <br /> TUCSON, AZ &amp; OVERLAND PARK, KAN. -- (Marketwire) – 6/04/09 -- Anything Brands Online, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ANYT) announced today the official launch of its Anything Green Online (AGO) Division (<a href="http://www.anythingreenonline.com">http://www.anythingreenonline.com</a>). Based on the logistics leadership of its transportation divisions and the direct-to-consumer platform of Anything Brands Online, AGO has created a program to allow consumers to order fresh organic produce on-line that will be delivered to distribution points for local consumer pick up throughout the USA. AGO will be investing in green agriculture technology that will allow organic produce to be delivered for the same price charged by supermarkets for the same non-organic products. The company will manage the logistics and transportation of produce direct to predetermined series of distribution points for redistribution direct to consumers. The company expects its Anything Green Online and transportation divisions will benefit from increased revenues and profits associated with this business segment.<br /> <br /> Anything Green Online has selected the ideal farming region of Imperial Valley, California for winter and spring harvests. Imperial Valley, a farming region previously known for the production of winter tomatoes and other crops for USA markets has been affected by direct job losses to Mexico. Mexico grows and exports more than 2 billion pounds a year of fresh tomatoes to the USA. Anything Green Online’s program will stimulate jobs by working with family farms for the production and sales of produce of direct to consumers. AGO will allow consumers to order produce 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through its online website. <br /> <br /> There are three components that AGO has determined that will drive the success of this program. First, the produce needs to be grown with organic technology that reduces costs and the use of resources such as water and fuel. Secondly, consumers need to order on-line at <a href="http://www.anythinggreenonline.com">http://www.anythinggreenonline.com</a> to reduce costs associated with supermarket mark-ups, waste and inefficiencies. Consumers will be able to see their produce at the farm at the AGO website, meet the growers and order their produce 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Third, the consumer needs to have a convenient pick-up location for their organic produce near their home or workplace. <br /> <br /> It is worth noting that the demand for organic fresh produce has plummeted by an estimated 25% during the current economic crisis in the USA. This can only be due to the higher price that organic produce conventionally sells for. It is a virtual certainty that consumers will always select organic fresh produce instead of produce grown with chemicals, if the organic produce is the same price as the non-organic products. This can only be accomplished through the direct sale to consumers, avoiding the mark-up at the supermarket. In this way, the farmer is earning a significantly larger share of the sale price and the consumer is able to enjoy fresh from the farm organic produce without paying more for it.<br /> <br /> According to the USA Census date, more than 10,000 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms currently sell fresh produce directly to consumers in the USA during the summer months. The AGO Program provides fresh organic produce during the months that fresh produce is not available locally. Anything Green Online will not compete with local growers. AGO will compete with foreign growers from Mexico and other nations that are supplying a large percentage of winter and spring produce to the USA. <br /> AGO invites all USA citizens to visit <a href="http://www.anythinggreenonline.com">http://www.anythinggreenonline.com</a> to tell us where we should distribute fresh organic produce for the same price as non-organic produce. The produce will be delivered direct from the farm and is expected to cost less than the same produce at the supermarkets. Winter produce from the Imperial Valley will not compete with local summer produce from CSAs. The Imperial Valley produce is intended to replace foreign produce.<br /> <br /> About Anything Brands Online, Inc. <br /> Anything Brands markets and sells products and services that improve the level of transportation efficiency and safety of its commercial and recreational customers.

Confirms Purchase of 300,000 Shares to be Pulled from Public Float at the Start of the Company’s Stock Repurchase Program<br /> Tucson, AZ and Overland Park, KS -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/21/09 -- Anything Brands Online, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ANYT) as announced earlier and pointing to what it perceives to be undervalued shares, has launched its stock repurchase program with the actual purchase of 300,000 shares, expecting to retire up to 50% of the public float within 6-9 months. The program authorizes ANYT to buy back up to 8 million shares of common stock at its discretion, subject to market conditions, economic factors, the effect on shareholder dilution, adequacy of capital and the effect on liquidity. The board of directors has authorized the first Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) dollars to be allocated to the stock repurchase program.<br /> <br /> &quot;This announcement highlights our strong belief that the investment community, perhaps due to overall market conditions, is significantly undervaluing Anything Brands Online’s stock currently, and not fully recognizing the strong margins and growth of our underlying operating businesses,” said Mike Head, President of Anything Brands. He added, “The share buyback program is actually now underway and illustrates our undiluted confidence in the long-term growth of the company and our commitment to increasing shareholder value. We further recognize the negative impact of short-sellers on our stock, and in very clear terms, this action is taken to offset their actions, to the benefit of our loyal shareholders.”<br /> <br /> As evidence of the vibrant health of Anything Brands Online’s operations, Head pointed to the company’s recent announcements about its myFreightWorld unit achieving recording revenue levels and inking an agreement worth $15 million with <a href="http://HeadHaul.com">http://HeadHaul.com</a> and its Anything Trucker division’s recent agreement with <a href="http://Layover.com">http://Layover.com</a> increasing its presence in the commercial transportation arena.

(PINKSHEETS: ANYT) today announced that its board of directors have approved a share repurchase program. The program authorizes ANYT to buy back up to 8 million shares of common stock at its discretion, subject to market conditions, economic factors, the effect on shareholder dilution, adequacy of capital and the effect on liquidity. The board of directors has authorized the first Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) dollars to allocate to the stock repurchase program. The repurchased shares will become treasury shares and retired. The company will announce any insider buying from the board of directors as well.<br /> <br /> &quot;This announcement highlights our strong belief that the investment community, perhaps due to overall market conditions, is significantly undervaluing Anything Brands Online’s stock currently and not fully recognizing the strong margins and growth of our underlying operating businesses,” said Mike Head, President of Anything Brands. He added, “The share buyback program also illustrates our undiluted confidence in the long-term growth of the company and our commitment to increase shareholder value.” <br /> <br /> As evidence of the vibrant health of Anything Brands Online’s operations, Head pointed to the company’s recent announcements about its myFreightWorld unit achieving recording revenue levels and inking an agreement worth $15 million with HeadHaul.com. He also noted Anything Brands Online’s aggressive expansion into the booming green technology arena through the recent launch of the Anything Green Online division.<br /> <br /> “Each of these accomplishments is noteworthy in its own right but, taken as a whole, they present a clear picture of long-term revenue growth that justifies why we believe that this investment in our own company is the best use of our capital and in the best interest of our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Head.<br /> <br /> About Anything Brands Online, Inc.<br /> Anything Brands markets and sells products and services to the transportation industry that improve the level of transportation efficiency and safety of its commercial and recreational customers.

Announces Record Revenue Levels http://www.anythingrv.com/article.php/mfw2 http://www.anythingrv.com/article.php/mfw2 Thu, 07 May 2009 04:18:17 -0400 Press Releases myFreightWorld, division of Anything Brands Online, Inc., Announces Record Revenue Levels for the beginning of the second quarter 2009<br /> TUCSON, AZ and OVERLAND PARK, KS -- (MARKET WIRE) – 05/07/09 -- Anything Brands Online, Inc. (ABOL) (PINKSHEETS: ANYT) announced today that its logistics division, myFreightWorld, is posting record revenues for the second quarter of 2009 confirming current economic conditions are favorable for the company’s products.<br /> <br /> The company stated, “Sales for the last four weeks have been at levels that would place them in the top 10 weeks of the company’s history. Under these economic conditions and due to the fact that the second quarter is typically a slow quarter for the transportation industry, this achievement is noteworthy. We believe it serves as evidence that our model, which allows transportation logistics managers to cut costs and expand product lines, will thrive in a down market.” At the end of 2008, the revenue under management was approximately $40 million.<br /> <br /> President Mike Head commented, “Economic conditions began to cause our customers shipment counts to decrease dramatically during the latter half of 2008 and continued on into the first quarter of 2009. While our growth of new business mitigated this slow down through the third quarter of 2008, we experienced the first two down quarters in the company’s history. Our carrier vendors were reporting 30% to 40% drops in revenue, the worst drop in the last several decades, and our customers’ sales were consistent with those reports. We responded quickly by downsizing our workforce and that along with our variable cost model allowed us to manage through this downturn profitably.”<br /> <br /> Head further stated, “Sales levels have now returned to pre-downturn levels and our growth rate has accelerated. This is important to our shareholders in three critical ways:<br /> <br /> 1.) We are now back on target to reach $100 million annual managed revenue run rate by the end of 2009. Current major infrastructure costs are sufficient to handle this growth and beyond, thereby producing attractive EBITDA and cash flow that will further boost our ability to bring on additional growth through acquisition.<br /> <br /> 2.) To achieve this level of sales the company has signed more than 20 major new customers including 3 that are in the Top 50 largest Logistics Companies in terms of sales. This provides evidence of our ability to grow despite the economic downturn.<br /> <br /> 3.) The company has demonstrated its resiliency to economic stress and in the event that current economic conditions worsen this provides evidence that management has employable strategies in place to deal with them. “<br /> <br /> About myFreightWorld:<br /> myFreightWorld (<a href="http://www.3plinabox.com">http://www.3plinabox.com</a>) is a business services outsourcing company that sells technology, services, and wholesale truck, rail, and airfreight capacity to the Logistics Manager industry that accounts for over $100 billion of the $650 billion transportation industry spend.
