Item 5. Other Events
On February 17, 1998 the Company received a letter from NASDAQ informing
the Company that it did not comply with recently amended NASDAQ continued
listing criteria which required the Company to have minimum net tangible assets
of at least $2,000,000, two independent directors and an audit committee, a
majority of which are independent directors. The Company was granted until
February 23, 1998 to comply with such requirements.
On February 12, 1998, the Board of Directors of AC Automotive Group, Inc.
authorized the issuance of 6,130,000 shares of its common stock to Erwood
Holdings, Inc., a company affiliated with Alan Lubinsky, the President, Chief
Executive Officer and a Director of the Company and AC Automotive Group, Inc.,
for aggregate consideration of $6,130. The disclosure in the COmpany's report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 1997 contained an error wherein it
indicated Erwood Holdoings, Inc. acquired 6,633,000 of common stock for
aggregate considferation of $6,633. In addition, on such date AC Automotive
Group, Inc. authorized the issuance of 176,520, 176,520 and 88,260 shares of its
common stock to Beth- Anne Kinsley, Victor and Marion Durchhalter and Bridget
Staff, respectively, for consideration of $177, $177 and $89, respectively.
Beth-Anne Kinsley, Victor and Marion Durchhalter and Bridget Staff were all
prior shareholders of AC Automotive Group, Inc. and are all associated persons
of Mason Hill & Co., Inc., the broker/dealer which effected the initial public
offering of the Company's securities and the subsequent private offering of the
Company's securities, the proceeds from which (the private offering) were
utilized by the Company to complete the AC asset acquisition.
The foregoing issuance of shares reduced the ownership of AC Automotive
Group, Inc. by the Company to under 50%. Accordingly, future financial
statements of the Company will be issued on an unconsolidated basis. Footnote 18
to the Company's Financial Statements has been prepared to show the effect of
the share issuance described herein.
On February 25, 1998 Ivan Averbuch resigned as a Director of the Company
and on the same date the board of directors elected Ian Satill, to fill such
vacancy.
On February 25, 1998, the Board of Directors resolved to form an audit
committee in order to comply with current Nasdaq corporate governance
requirements. The Audit Committee is comprised of the three directors of the
Company, two of whom (Ian Satill and Allan Edgar) are believed by the Board of
Directors to be independent.
Although the Company is of the belief that it is now in compliance with
Nasdaq requirements for a continued listing of its securities on the Nasdaq
SmallCap system, there can be no assurance that it is correct in such belief.
The Company expects to receive a ruling from Nasdaq shortly on its listing
compliance.
Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Statements of the Company reflecting the
issuance of shares of AC Automotive Group, Inc. referenced in Item 5.
