NowAuto, Inc. Responds to Inquiries on Previously Announced Acquisition
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 20 -- On July 18, 2005, NowAuto, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NWAU) announced the execution of the Definitive Purchase Agreement with Global-E Investments, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: GEIV) . Several questions have been raised by Shareholders and Institutions of the effect of the acquisition on previous released guidance.
Giving effect of the acquisition and the resulting number of shares outstanding, the company maintains its previously announced projections equating to $.70 - $.75 cents per share. The slight increase in net income, giving effect of the added share count, is a result of the substantial growth of the company's newly formed wholesale auto division and better than expected performance of the Navicom GPS subsidiary. Further, the company announced an early guidance for fiscal 2006 of $1.00 to $1.15 per share.
Management believes this acquisition is a necessary, and the most efficient, step in bringing the company to a fully reporting status and expects to offset the additional share count through more favorable pricing in future financings available to reporting companies.
