BARTOW, Fla., Aug 28, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AACS) today released an update on its previously announced and planned acquisitions.
Citing an onslaught of investor inquiry via e-mail and telephone about the status of the company's acquisition plans, Chief Executive Officer and President Daniel L. Hefner today opted to make a release of general information. Hefner stated, "I have been quite surprised by the number of inquiries that I have received about the company's business plan in light of the acquisitions that we are pursuing. Our investors have expressed cautious optimism that the acquired companies could provide the needed broadening of the revenue base that will spread the overhead burden and bring the company's consolidated financial statement into the black during this fiscal year. Many are continuing to accumulate our undervalued stock in anticipation of substantial gain as the company implements its business plan. We believe that they will be rewarded for their confidence in sound business practices.
"The question of greatest interest seems to be, 'How can you make acquisitions with your stock trading at these low levels?' The simple answer is that we are not negotiating with common stock at this level. Our current negotiations involve payment in the form of cash, stated value preferred stock (at multiples of our current share price), employment contracts and earn up provisions for management that is retained. With the proper blend of these payment options, we can reap the benefits today and pay with future value dollars," Hefner said.
Continuing, Hefner went on to say, "We have recently seen an influx of investors that have taken a great interest in the company. I am hearing them state how 'refreshing' it is to have news releases that aren't just hype. They seem to be enamored with the fact that, for a Bulletin Board company, we are following a sound business plan and philosophy. Streamlined operations, consistently reducing balance sheet debt and a plan to acquire synergistic and geographically manageable companies strikes a positive chord, it seems."
According to Mr. Hefner, 28-year-old Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. will be acquired on or before September 15, 2003 if all continues to move forward in due diligence.
