Audit Update

The Company plans to file the Registration Statement with the SEC as soon as possible. Then the SEC comment process will begin. The process can last three to four months, but the Company and its service providers are committed to responding expeditiously. After the SEC comment process is completed to their satisfaction, they will declare the Registration Statement “effective” and AmeraMex will be a “fully reporting company” which is a requirement before applying to list on the OTCQB.
First Quarter 2018
During the first quarter of 2018, AmeraMex has reported sales of over $6.9 million. Based on the current economic climate, management believes this positive outlook will continue to grow sales throughout 2018 and beyond.
