PR NEWSWIRE) AmeriResource Technologies, Inc. Announces Preliminary Proxy AmeriResource Technologies, Inc. Announces Preliminary Proxy Statement Submission OVERLAND PARK, Kan., July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Delmar A. Janovec, CEO of AmeriResource Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ARET), announced today that the company submitted a preliminary Proxy Statement to the Securities Exchange Commission for review and comment. The statement contains amendments that are crucial to the future business development of ARET and its primary subsidiaries, First Americans Mortgage Corporation and First Plains Construction Company. If accepted by the SEC, a record date of July 12, 1999 would be established with the shareholder meeting set for August 30, 1999 at 8:00 a.m. at the corporate offices in Overland Park, Kansas. Janovec commented, "The preliminary statement that was forwarded to the SEC for review and comment was designed by ARET management with two major goals; first, the best interest of the company and its shareholder, the second is allowing the company to take full advantage of the niche Native American lending and construction market created by Mr. Shepherd's hard work and creativity." Shepherd said, "The primary issue in the proxy is the authorization of additional shares. The company will predominantly use the shares to acquire existing mortgage and construction companies to enhance First Americans and First Plains growth both on and off reservation." Shepherd continued, "I realize that this request by management is one that will rely on shareholder confidence in us to utilize the shares in a responsible manner. Since I became president of ARET in August, 1998 I have tried to develop solid relationships with regional and national companies and follow through with those partners in a manner which would benefit ARET and its shareholders. I pledge to continue those efforts to establish ARET as the leader in native American lending and construction while enhancing shareholder equity through diversifying the company's product lines." The release may contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, including without limitations, continued acceptance of the company's products and services, increased levels of competition, new products and technological changes. The Company's dependency on financing third party supplies and intellectual property rights, and other risks detailed from time- to-time in the company's federal filings, annual reports offering memorandums or prospectus.
