Chariot Manufacturing Announces Success at Myrtle Beach

BARTOW, Fla., June 1 -- American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: AACS) today announced a successful Bike Week event at Myrtle Beach, SC for Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary.

Steven D. Smith, President of Chariot, stated, "We have developed a strategy that has been yielding excellent results at these key Bike Week Events. Through these events we can reach literally tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of potential buyers. In most cases, we receive orders for trailers months after the presentations are made at the events. We sold approximately $52,000 worth of trailers as a result of the display at Myrtle Beach. As a matter of fact, all the trailers we had on display were sold within the first hour of the event. We continued to display the trailers until the end of the event, when the customers took delivery. Our Sales Manager is negotiating with a number of potential dealers met at Myrtle Beach in the VA, WV, PA, NC, and SC markets. We are pleased to announce that Chariot is maintaining a sales backlog of over $100,000 while increasing our shipments in April to over $50,000. We are now operating at a level approximately 40% greater than Chariot has over the last three years of operation. The quality of the product is excellent; I just delivered a trailer to a long-time customer in MS, who has an older, smaller Chariot trailer. After inspecting the new trailer, he commented that the quality and workmanship of the new Chariot is the best he has seen. Increasing the output of the factory is relatively easy. Increasing quantity and the quality at the same time is not as easily accomplished and is a result of a dedicated competent staff."

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer, Dan Hefner, stated, "Steve and his team of professionals have done an outstanding job of promoting the Chariot line of lightweight, aerodynamic trailers to both dealers and the private sector through motorcycle rallies and word of mouth. ACS will continue to support the plans that Steve is implementing to achieve the sales goal anticipated. I see no reason that we will not exceed our sales projections for fiscal 2004-2005."
