Business Wire
AMCON Distributing Company (AMEX:DIT), an Omaha, Nebraska based
consumer products company announced that it has reached an
agreement with the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") pursuant to
which shares of AMCON's common stock will continue to be listed.
AMCON is presently not in compliance with the listing standards of
the AMEX because it has failed to file its Form 10-K for the year
ended September 30, 2005 and Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended
December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. AMCON's listing is being continued pursuant to
an extension granted by the AMEX. AMCON is working closely with
officials of the AMEX on a compliance plan and has targeted a
completion date of August 15, 2006. Andrew Plummer, AMCON's Chief
Financial Officer, commented "We believe it is important to note
that our consumer products distribution business, which is among
the leaders in the industry, is vibrant and continues to generate
positive earnings. In addition, our retail health food business is
generating significant cash flow and is demonstrating an
encouraging trend of profitability in fiscal 2006. Our two core
businesses represent over $800 million in revenues and 98% of
AMCON's total sales in fiscal 2005. We have a solid working
relationship with our bank group, and are readily servicing our
obligations to customers and vendors in the ordinary course of
business. We appreciate the efforts the AMEX has made to work with
us and are keeping them informed of our continuing progress as we
work diligently with our auditors toward completion of our audited
fiscal 2005 financial statements." AMCON is a leading wholesale
distributor of consumer products, including beverages, candy,
tobacco, groceries, food service, frozen and chilled foods, and
health and beauty care products with distribution centers in
Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
