The Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, reflects the terms and conditions of the purchase by Baker & Taylor, Inc. of the majority of the Company's assets, as publicly announced by the Company on March 21, 2007.

AMS filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Chapter 11 proceeding does not include the Company’s international subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia. More information concerning the proceedings can be found by clicking on the link “selected chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceeding documents” on the left hand navigation.

AMS is delinquent in filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission the following periodic reports: (1) Forms 10-Q for fiscal year 2004; (2) Form 10-K for fiscal year 2004; and (3) Forms 10-Q for fiscal year 2005. Until the Company files those reports, investors should read the public announcements that the Company issues from time-to-time disclosing financial and business information. In view of the restatement of financial statements that was publicly announced on January 14, 2004, investors should not rely on the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal year 2003 or any previous filings on Forms 10-K or 10-Q.

The trading of AMS' common stock was suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") effective at the opening of the market on April 19, 2005. The NYSE de-listed our stock effective June 30, 2005.

AMS' common stock now trades in the Pink Sheets under the symbol MKTS.PK. Information about the Pink Sheets is available at www.pinksheets.com.


This is NOT like the pump and dump Q stocks you've been seeing around IHub lately that have 0 volume for years and then 100m shares hits on pump and dump day, every day, slow and steady for 6 WEEKS STRAIGHT
