SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--Oct. 28, 1998--Auto Network USA (AUTONET) (OTC BB:ANWK), the fastest growing, publicly held wholesaler of used luxury automobiles in the United States, announced today that the Company has received $1 million in debt funding.
The funding is part of a previously signed Letter of Intent with Flagstone Automotive, out of Vancouver, Canada.
In addition the Company announced that it has opened operations in Denver, Colo. The Denver operation is AUTONET's newest location, adding to the home office in Scottsdale, their first expansion office Albuquerque, N.M., and two Canadian operations. Discussions continue with a number of other possible U.S. locations.
Mike Stuart, President and CEO, stated "These transactions represent our continued efforts to expand our business and push forward. Our goal is to consolidate the wholesale automobile business just as Republic Industries , United Auto Group, Inc. and others have done on the retail side."
Auto Network USA also wishes to announce that its shareholders have approved a name change to Auto Network Group Incorporated. The change will be implemented in the current quarter.
Auto Network USA (AUTONET) is the fastest growing, publicly-held wholesaler of used late model and luxury automobiles in the country. The Company is capitalizing on the billion-dollar wholesale market by focusing operations in strategic segments of the country.
AUTONET's strategy is to gain market share in key urban areas by acquiring and consolidating the independent automobile wholesaling companies. This strategy will provide the Company with access to a large and growing volume of high-quality late model and luxury automobiles. It will also allow AUTONET to take advantage of geographical disparities in the value of cars.
