PR Newswire (US)
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Acacia
Automotive, Inc. (Ticker-ACCA) today announced that it will hold
its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at the Renaissance Orlando
Resort at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida, at 10:00 a.m. on November
2, 2007. The Company has set the close of business Tuesday, October
9th as the record date for shareholders to be invited to and vote
at the meeting. Tony Moorby, President and COO of Acacia
Automotive, said: "We are really looking forward to this first
Annual Meeting of our shareholders. It has been a long time in
coming, but well worth the wait! Many positive things have
transpired since we gained control of the company last year, and
many more exciting things await our future. We are very pleased
with our present and future course." Acacia's CEO Steve "Junior"
Sample commented on the performance of Augusta Auto Auction, the
Company's first acquisition: "We always felt that the Augusta
auction was a diamond in the rough, and it has certainly begun to
shine as anticipated. Since our first weekly sale on July 11th, the
auction has seen 2007 sales and revenue increases month-over-month
in addition to exceeding the auction's performances in 2006. For
same-period sales during which we have owned the auction in Q3 2007
versus 2006, our revenues are up over 25% while unit sales volumes
are up more than 30%. Considering we worked around a major facelift
of the facility during the first six weeks that detracted heavily
from marketing efforts, we consider these upticks to be very
impressive indeed. Acacia is on a well-defined course and we are
quite pleased with these results ... especially in the midst of the
current economy. We see no problems in continuing to expect solid
results in the future." Moorby continued: "Our Augusta auction has
taken us from being a shell company to an operating company, and
has done so in grand style. We are also currently reviewing a
number of other acquisition targets that have been presented to us
in recent weeks, and hope to come to terms on at least one more
auction by the end of this year. There are many other interesting
projects on the table as well. As I have mentioned before, this is
a very exciting time to be in the auction business! All these
things, combined with the new operating system in development for
Acacia, may well prove to be the perfect combination for bringing
value and growth or our shareholders." About Acacia Acacia
Automotive, Inc. (http://www.acacia.bz/) is a publicly-traded
corporation and America's newest whole-car vehicle auction holding
company, but comes with seasoned veterans in management. Acacia
believes there were once three companies in balance that provided
the industry's clients with a solid stance and fair choice. That
balance was toppled when one leg was eliminated with the sale and
subsequent absorption of ADT Automotive in 2000. Acacia intends to
bring back that balance and return a much-needed stabilization to
the industry, believing that "competition is a good thing". Acacia
is currently reviewing several acquisition opportunities as it
prepares to add its second auction in line with its plans to
acquire approximately four additional auctions per year well into
the future. The company simultaneously announced completion of
moving its headquarters to Brentwood, Tennessee, September 1st,
becoming more centrally located to better accommodate commerce
throughout the United States. This release includes forward-looking
