Dear Members & Friends,

Welcome back to Bangkok! As we celebrate our 8th year, we would like to invite you to our annual group meeting to reconnect with each other as we rediscover Bangkok, known to the Thais as "City of Angels".

As a family of quality freight forwarders, Combined Logistics Networks have witnessed the world economy going through a severe recession marked by financial turmoil, large-scale destruction of wealth, and declines in industrial production and global trade. Also as a network, we have stood together and managed the risks posted to the freight forwarding industry and have continued to expand business opportunities amongst ourselves despite the economic turmoil.

For 2010, as we start to recover, we must build strong foundations for sustained and broad-based growth in a globalized world. It is very important that we nurture our relationship and extend a helping hand with each other as we climb the global ladder. In this regard, a very intimate conference which is open to members only and a few selected freight forwarders from the networks' open territories will be held for the networks at Shangri-la Hotel Bangkok on May 25-30, 2010 to discuss current and future trade between members within a secured financial environment.

The Bangkok conference will focus on your favorite face-to-face meetings to ensure that members of our group meet to explore areas of new business to mutual benefit.

For more information, visit the conference website: www.combinedlogisticsnetworks.com/bangkokmeeting or email us at bangkokmeeting@combinedlogisticsnetworks.com.

To register, please visit CLN BKK Meeting website.

See you in Bangkok!

We will keep you posted where CLN's next stop will be!

Part of Alliance development is the increase of projects and introduction of new added value services.

We are proud to announce the improved Safety Net Program of Combined Freight Network that guaranteed of the following benefits:

a. Secured payments between members
b. Further Monitoring of payment habits and reporting to the membership pool
c. Facilitation of disputes if contractual
d. Guarantee of defaulting members (non-payment due to inability to pay)
e. Higher guaranteed receivables from USD 10,000 - USD 20,000
f. Covered security program between paid CLN members
g. More extensive screening of members to join the pool

There is nothing to worry doing business within the paid members of Combined Freight Network.

With the rapid expansion of our alliances - we have decided to brand it as a web of networks named the COMBINED LOGISTICS NETWORKS or CLN. From 200 freight forwarders, CLN more than 400 screened members from the four different logistics alliances. This gives our entire membership pool the chance to develop new business contacts around the world.

Combined Logistics Networks (CLN) signed off a service level agreement with a software company based in Australia named Pangaea effective April 1, 2006.
