GOOD NEWS-AutoTradeCenter Internet Revenue Up Over 50 Percent; March 2001 Best Month Ever!

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--April 27, 2001-- AutoTradeCenter (OTC BB: AUTC) Friday announced fourth quarter Internet revenue was up more than 50 percent over the third quarter for fiscal year ended March 31, 2001.
    "This past March, ATC set new records in Internet revenue," stated Roger L. Butterwick, president of AutoTradeCenter ("ATC"). "In the fourth quarter, impressive company milestones were achieved."
    "Those achievements," continued Butterwick, "include new agreements with American Honda Finance Corp. and American Suzuki Motor Corp., a historic auction alliance, plus dramatic increases in Internet sales. ATC's total focus on Internet remarketing has proved prudent and business-wise with a substantial reduction of debt, strong fourth quarter revenue growth, and encouraging first quarter trends.
    "While our total annual results for fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 reflect a loss," commented Butterwick, "our Internet revenue growth remains strong and is in line with management's expectations."
