A.C.L.N. Ships 16,610 Cars in April as Demand in Africa Increases

           Company Enters Into Time Charter Agreement With 'K' Line

    LOS ANGELES, June 4 A.C.L.N. Limited , a
global leader in the distribution and logistics of new and pre-owned
automobiles, today announced that in response to continued increases in demand
for automobiles in Africa, the Company shipped 16,610 automobiles in April,
2001, a 57.9% percent increase from shipments in April 2000.  According to
A.C.L.N. Chairman Joseph Bisschops, the Company also had a backlog at the end
of April 2001 of approximately 8,200 cars at its ports in Europe awaiting
delivery to ports in Africa through the Company's logistics services
operations.

    A.C.L.N. also announced that it has entered into a time charter agreement
with the "K" Line division of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. of Tokyo to time
charter a 3,000 car capacity vessel.  The vessel, the Diamond Highway will be
utilized primarily for West African shipments for two voyages.  Due to the
inherent economies of scale in employing larger vessels such as these, the
agreement is expected to reduce one of the Company's principal costs of sales
-- sea freight.  By chartering the vessel, A.C.L.N. expects to improve the
unit economics in its West African business, while increasing capacity to
rapidly respond to growing demand in its markets.  The Company has already
commenced shipping vehicles on the vessel.

    Aldo Labiad, A.C.L.N. President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "A
number of strong economic and market forces are positively impacting the
markets we serve in Africa, resulting in rapid increases in demand for cars
and trucks.  These forces include emerging political and economic stability,
governments striving to improve the economies of their countries, a rising
consumer class, improved access to oil and gasoline, and a current automobile
ownership rate of less than 1.5 percent.  With virtually no local automotive
manufacturing, this rising demand can only be served by importing new and used
vehicles.  The strong growth in our April shipments and for the last several
months is a direct result of our unique ability to readily respond to and
profitably service sharp increases in demand."
