Current Highlights:

• Received a $600,000 order from an Algeria construction company for a variety of infrastructure construction equipment. The equipment is scheduled to ship within a 90-day window.

• Management is currently responding to several RFPs from North and West Africa countries.

• Logistics companies on the West Coast have begun to disseminate RFPs for new dock equipment including container handlers.

• AmeraMex has entered into a Heavy Equipment Service and Repair Contract with a U.S. Army installation in Northern California. 

• Today the company received a $230,000 equipment order for an environmentally friendly log forwarder and processor.  The  equipment is shipping this week to the Lake Tahoe basin.

“This has not been a memorable year for most U.S. companies, including AmeraMex,” commented AmeraMex CEO Lee Hamre. “While we¡¦ve had some significant challenges, we have also been presented with considerable opportunities. We are meeting the challenges head-on and are taking advantage of the opportunities. These opportunities have resulted in the company’s involvement with a number of partners in synergistic industries. We think this involvement will directly and indirectly boost the company¡¦s sales of heavy equipment, and provide various commissions and/or finders fees. Hamre continued, “Our work with several North African countries has created many opportunities for the company and will provide both AmeraMex and its shareholders with a significantly improved 2010. And, we are pleased to see our U.S. business prospects begin to improve. We expect the effects of a stronger U.S. economy in the third and fourth quarters will generate additional order flow.”

For the year ended, December 31, 2009, the company reported revenue of approximately $8.3 million and a net loss of ($501,451), or a loss per share of ($0.002). EBITDA for the year was ($124,249). EBITDA, earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amortization, is an accepted industry tool to measure the fundamentals of growth companies. 

Hamre noted, “We will host a shareholder conference call in mid-April to discuss the highlights of 2009 and the milestones we have set for 2010. A news release containing the pertinent information will be publicly disseminated shortly. We would like to sincerely thank our shareholders for their continued support and look forward to our first shareholder conference call.”
