LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 24, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Plasticon International Inc. (Pink Sheets:PLNI) is pleased to announce that their Board has approved the retirement of 200 million shares, the first step in a process designed to decrease the total outstanding shares and increase shareholder value.
"We believe that the retirement of shares will add tremendous value for our shareholders," said Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International. "This is the first step in a share restructuring process. The restructuring will be reflected in a share price that is more truly representative of the actual value of Plasticon's shares. We firmly believe that this is in the best interests of both our shareholders and the company."
Mr. Turek added that Plasticon International is committed to a program designed to enhance shareholder value through a comprehensive strategy, starting with this initial retirement. As a part of this restructuring strategy, the Company plans to undertake a buy back program for still additional outstanding shares.
The retirement of 200 million shares is in addition to positive earnings. Plasticon recently announced that it is profitable as of the second quarter in 2005. "We believe that the retirement of shares will be significant as the first step in a process that should result in a better reflection of the value of Plasticon's shares," Mr. Turek concluded.

Plasticon International is a 17-year old firm located in Lexington, KY. It is in the business of producing rebar supports, lumber, signage, and office products from recycled plastic. Of these, it's primary focus now is on rebar supports, with testing underway for plastic rebar. Its rebar supports have gained Department of Transportation approval for use in all 50 US states. The company is led by Jim Turek, CEO. Its website is www dot plasticonintl dot com Visit the Plasticon Website
All historic PR's dating back to 2004 can be found at their website's press room, or by Clicking Here This is a brief outline of what I believe to be the most pertinent aspects of the company's recent history:
Their patents on plastic rebar supports were tested in court, which placed a value on them of $16Million
They own injection molds for their product that THEY value at approximately $10 million
In May 2005, they announced the planned acquiustion of Semco, a producer of a unique concrete sealant product designed to prevent the damaging effects of water on concrete materials
In May, they announced a planned move to the OTCBB with production of financial audits
In June, they announced a distribution deal with R&S, one of the nation's leading suppliers of conrete products for their rebar supports.
In June, they announced a new process that reduces production costs by 20%
In June, they announced that R&S had increased its original product order by 50%
In June, they announced that their growth and restructuring would be accomplished with NO REVERSE SPLIT
In June, they announced that the company was profitable as of 2Q 2005
In July, they announced a contract for a projected 10-year supply of raw materials
In August, they announced the proposed acquisition of Pro-mold, an established plastic injection molding firm in the St. Louis area
In August, they announced that the Pro-Mold acquisition would increase inhouse production capacity to $20 Million
In August, they hired Big Apple Consulting as an IR/PR firm to help them achieve their growth objectives
This morning, they announced a retirement of 200 million shares as the first step in a planned buyback program designed to increase pps
The Financials
A/S is in the range of 2 to 2.4 billion, with the most common figure being 2 Billion
O/S is in the range of 1.4 to 2Billion, with the most common data 1.4, and the most recent possibility 2.0
Float is approximately 400 million
The Bad
There have been two missed deadlines quoted by MR. Turek involving the audit deadline. No announcement of the Semco closure has yet been made. No recent update on the status of plastic rebar products.
The Good
Since hiring Big Apple Consulting (BAC), the company appears to be meeting its deadlines.
News of Semco deal closure is anticipated any day.
Today's retirement announcement is a good indication of the company's "putting its money where its mouth is."
BAC has produced an audit projection in the middle to end of September -- they haven't been wrong yet.
News of rebar testing could come any time.
The recent highway bill signing provides significant increases in the amount of future expenditures in public works projects throughout the nation.
Always do your own DD before making any investment decisions. This is by no means construed as a complete list of the company's history, projections, or risk. It is only intended to give a very brief overview of what this investment is to many of us on this thread.
