AMAZON NATURAL TREASURES, INC. ANNOUNCES S & P
FILING AND $5 MILLION
970805 - AMAZON NATURAL TREASURES, INC. (AZNT) - LAS VEGAS, NV
Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc., (OTCBB: AZNT) announced today it
has completed registration with Standard & Poor's. The company,
which processes and markets a wide variety of dietary supplements
and a 100% natural sweetener, has been approved by Standard &
Poor's Editorial Board for inclusion in the next edition of S&P's
Standard Corporation Records due out in October. A description of
Amazon Natural Treasures is also published in S&P's Daily News,
Website and MarketScope service.
Company president, Michael Sylver said the approval from Standard
& Poor's represents an important step forward for Amazon. "We are
pleased to have confirmation from S&P that all of our corporate
paperwork, SEC filings and other documentation meet their
standards. In view of the fact that inclusion in S&P's Corporation
Records satisfies most states' Blue Sky requirements, this approval
enhances our presence and acceptance in the public investment
community."
Mr. Sylver also announced the company has entered into an agreement
with private sources for equity funding of $5 million. Proceeds
from the private placement will be used to fund the company's
direct-mail marketing campaign of its natural health products and
dietary supplements. Twenty-one of Amazon's products have been
selected for introduction to specifically targeted health-conscious
consumers who have shown repeated purchase and usage of these types
of supplements. Since Amazon's dietary supplements are 100% pure,
the company believes them to be of superior quality to the vast
majority of health and dietary products currently available.
Additionally, a part of the proceeds will be used for the purchase
of sterilizers, ball mill machinery and packaging equipment used in
the processing and packaging of the company's natural sweetener.
Currently, the company is in the process of testing this sugar
substitute for the degree of concentrated sweetness, its potential
application in various food and beverage industries, and residue or
of after-taste. This unique product is many times sweeter than
regular cane sugar and it has no calories, no fat, no
carbohydrates, and no chemical additives.
Mr. Sylver stated the company's dietary supplement division will be
fully operational in the fourth quarter of 1997 with projected
first quarter (1998) sales of $1.1 million from its direct-mail
marketing campaign. Amazon's natural sweetener division should be
operational in the first quarter of 1998.
All dietary supplements manufactured by Amazon Natural Treasures,
Inc. are 100% pure and natural with no fillers or additives. These
products, known as "phytogenics", are a product of processing
plants and related species found only in the Brazilian Amazon Rain
Forest. The company, which is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada,
also maintains laboratory and shipping facilities in Manaus, Brazil
and offices near Toronto, Canada.
