American Commerce Solutions, Inc. Reports Preliminary Mid-Year Results of Operations

BARTOW, Fla., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AACS) today released preliminary results of operations for the second quarter ending August 31, 2003.

Daniel L. Hefner, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. stated, "Based upon our preliminary review, we are pleased to announce that ACS' wholly owned subsidiary, International Machine and Welding, Inc. will report substantial improvement in the efficiency of the operation compared to the same six-month period last year. Although sales have been sluggish in the first half of the year, our employees have made the most effective use of the resources available to them and maximized the revenue available."

"With revenue off by over $218,000 or 19.3% for the six-month period, one should expect that all would be disappointed. However, that is not the case with International Machine and Welding, Inc.," Hefner continued. "Cost of sales was reduced by $241,000 from 59.0% to 46.69%, more than making up for the lower revenue. Additionally, gross profit increased from 41.0% to 53.31% over the same period in 2002. Finally, the net operating loss for the six months ended August 31, 2003 is $106,843 compared to same-period losses from operations of $559,316 at August 31, 2002. Losses were reduced by $452,443 or 80.9%," Mr. Hefner explained.

According to Hefner, the Board of Directors of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. has endorsed and implemented, through an experienced management team, a program of sales and operation that places emphasis on generating sales that make use of the more unique machinery in the shop. A horizontal lathe capable of turning a 55-foot long metal shaft with an 11-foot outside diameter and a vertical boring mill that can hold a component equivalent in size to a full size sports utility vehicle are just two of the pieces of equipment that make International Machine and Welding, Inc. an industry standout in the Southeast. By generating more high profit sales, the reduced revenue had substantially less impact than would normally be expected. The machines referenced may be seen at the company website, WWW.AACSSYMBOL.COM .

"I don't want to leave the impression that we are satisfied with the reduced revenue. It is our goal to continue the efficiencies that have been started and build the revenues with improved margins. We want to stop talking about 'less losses' and talk about 'profits'. Meanwhile, we will continue to reduce debt, improve cash flow, cut losses and build on solid fundamentals. We owe no less to our employees, our stockholders or ourselves," Hefner said.

Hefner emphasized that the results are preliminary and subject to adjustment before the filing of the 10QSB in October.

Daniel L.

Unfortunately, the schedules of the parties will not allow closing before October 4th, 2003. Chariot assets have already been moved to the location where production will be commence immediately upon closing. In reality, we have already taken over scheduling responsibility for warranty and repair work for Chariot."

Mr. Hefner continued, "We are excited that we will finally get this first acquisition under our belts. I have received numerous calls and e-mails from stockholders and news organizations wanting to know 'when and if" the acquisition would actually take place. This much anticipated acquisition will bring additional credibility to the American Commerce Solutions, Inc. Board of Directors and the business model we are implementing. The terms and conditions of the purchase will be reported in the appropriate 8K filing following the closing."

Hefner further commented, " Meanwhile, we will continue the process of updating the printed promotional material and brochures and evaluating any tooling requirements for the molds and jig fixtures. Upcoming trade shows and opportunities to aggressively market these lightweight, easy-pull, durable fiberglass trailers are also being assessed. Our confidence that the acquisition would be completed has caused us to continue to prepare, so that no time will be lost when it is time to gear up."

Mr. Hefner stated that although Chariot is about trailers, it is also about fiberglass. Other contemplated acquisitions will also feature fiberglass manufacturing, but fiberglass recycling will also be part of this new division of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. through acquisition, if plans go as intended. The anticipated timeframe for the next acquisition is the beginning of the fourth quarter or sooner.

"We have great expectation from the fiberglass related enterprises, but the workhorse of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. continues to be International Machine and Welding, Inc.," Hefner remarked. " We will continue to manage to the balance sheet and streamline our operations to maximize our resources of people and equipment."

American Commerce Solutions, Inc.'s (OTC Bulletin Board: AACS) wholly owned subsidiary, Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc., today announced shipment of its first Original Equipment Manufacturers order.

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, Daniel L. Hefner, stated, 'Under the OEM program, Chariot trailers will be packaged with our customer's products and sold as a complete unit. Chariot's first shipment under this program was to Atlanta based AmeriVap Systems. AmeriVap Systems manufactures dry steam cleaning equipment. The company offers several models from small residential units to large industrial systems. These systems are used to both clean and sanitize. Food and Beverage packagers are examples of one prime market for their equipment. AmeriVap Systems has combined a power generator and one of its larger industrial units with a Chariot Trailer for sale to representatives as well as to cleaning contractors.'

Werner Diercks, CEO of AmeriVap Systems explained the reason they chose the Chariot Trailer was a combination of its aerodynamic styling and its light weight. The styling and quality of the Chariot compliments and mirrors that of AmeriVap Systems'products as seen on the company website www.amerivap.com.

Steven D. Smith, President of Chariot Mfg. Co., Inc. commented, 'We are pleased to have been selected by AmeriVap Systems and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship. We are quite impressed with their products and feel their market brings substantial opportunity to Chariot. The aggressive expansion and marketing plans of AmeriVap projects sell of hundreds of additional units through a nationwide distribution network. Chariot is poised to greatly benefit from their continuing success.'

Smith continued, 'This delivery also marks our first lease program. We have been working with Accord Financial, who wrote the lease for the AmeriVap Systems package. Through Accord Financial, our customers can be approved for a lease in minutes over the phone. By providing options such as leasing, Chariot can differentiate itself from many of its competitors.

We are also negotiating with AmeriVap Systems to distribute its smaller residential unit, which is extremely effective in cleaning motorcycles. This will be just one of the related products offered as part of our new marketing program. The Chariot website, www.chariot-trailer.com will offer the opportunity to purchase the unit through Chariot. We are interested developing ongoing sales from our existing customer base. Related products such as these will enable us to realize this potential.'

Smith stated that Chariot continues to meet or exceed all expectations and presents many opportunities and challenges as its market expands.
