Forward
Looking Statements
Statements
in this report regarding Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc.
(the “Company”) and/or its subsidiaries Prime EFS LLC,
Shypdirect LLC, and TLSS Acquisition, Inc., that are not historical
facts are forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual future events or results to
differ materially from such statements. Any such forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to, financial guidance, are
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements include all statements that do not directly or
exclusively relate to historical facts. In some cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,”
“intend,” “goal,” “seek,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,”
“believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “predicts,”
“potential,” or the negative of those terms, and similar
expressions and comparable terminology. These include, but are not
limited to, statements relating to future events or our future
financial and operating results, plans, objectives, expectations
and intentions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected
in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these
expectations may not be achieved. Forward-looking statements are
neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance.
Instead, they represent our intentions, plans, expectations,
assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors outside of
our control that could cause our actual results, performance or
achievement to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. In addition to the risks
described above, these risks and uncertainties include: our ability
to successfully execute our business strategies, including
integration of acquisitions and the future acquisition of other
businesses to grow our Company; customers’ cancellation on short
notice of master service agreements from which we derive a
significant portion of our revenue or our failure to renew such
master service agreements on favorable terms or at all; our ability
to attract and retain key personnel and skilled labor to meet the
requirements of our labor-intensive business or labor difficulties
which could have an effect on our ability to bid for and
successfully complete contracts; the ultimate geographic spread,
duration and severity of the coronavirus outbreak and the
effectiveness of actions taken, or actions that may be taken, by
governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or ameliorate its
effects; our failure to compete effectively in our highly
competitive industry, which could reduce the number of new
contracts awarded to us or adversely affect our market share and
harm our financial performance; our ability to adopt and master new
technologies and adjust certain fixed costs and expenses to adapt
to our industry’s and customers’ evolving demands; our history of
losses, deficiency in working capital and a stockholders’ deficit
and our inability to achieve sustained profitability; material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our
ability to maintain effective controls over financial reporting in
the future; our substantial indebtedness, which could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
and our ability to meet our payment obligations; the impact of new
or changed laws, regulations or other industry standards that could
adversely affect our ability to conduct our business; and changes
in general market, economic, social and political conditions in the
United States and global economies or financial markets, including
those resulting from natural or man-made disasters.
These
forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions
only as of the date of this report and, except as required by law,
we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise after the date of this report. Given
these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements and should consider various factors,
including the risks described, among other places, in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as well as that no assurance can
be given that the Company will secure the financing it needs to
acquire substantially all of the assets of Cougar Express, Inc. as
described herein.
