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.

I got the exact same response today, hmmmmmm!
I would say this is good news, if they planned on cancelling these common shares then Gary should know by know and you would also see a conversion from ch 11 to the worst case of ch 7, being that we are still ch 11 means the reoganition plan is in effect, and with the Board of Directors of the CO owning 34% of the Co's Common Shares, I think we have a pretty good chance a retaining these common shares!!
Decisively Indecisive...
RESPONSE FROM AMS PERSONNEL to question of stock disposition:
Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 12:31:44 -0700 [03:31:44 PM EDT]
From: Gary Lloyd <Gary.Lloyd@advmkt.com>
To: XXXXXXXXX
Subject: RE: Contact Form Submission: Investor Relations
The disposition of the common stock will be covered in the liquidation plan which will be filed with the court and posted on the Company’s web site. The filing date for the plan is not known at this time.
I think she is right, but that doesn't stop me from staying around. More digging is needed, and until then, I am keeping my shares, just in case something big is uncovered. There seems to be all these large sums of money being thrown around, and how that COMPLETELY is able to elude benefitting investors seems unlikely. Maybe I am wrong, but if I am not, this could be huge. IMO...
Can anyone express there opinion on Rebel Girls post and the BK part is she right or wrong maybe I will jump in if there is a part of this for the share holder after loosing the Q
Thanks in advance

Strong AM, we need the PM to be just as good. Intraday BB's tightening, so I think it should be a decisive day, one way or the other. GLTA!
I believe these two people will be able to give us a better insight as to the commons:
Robert Robotti 22.1% of Common Stock and was also appointed to board of Dirtectors along with Mrck Ravitz who ownes another 12% of the common shares.
He just called me back too, saying the same thing.
I just got a call back from Arnie at B%T and he said all he could tell me is they didn't purchase any shares of AMS, just their assets, so I would need to call AMS, which I already did and posted that convo the other day.
I frimly believe the shareholders will be rewarded, with over 35% of the co common shares held by co insiders they are going to fight tooth and nail for those shares!
MKTSQ shareholders deserve some goodies, IMO...
I would venture to say some of us feel MKTSQ should be at a higher PPS than it is currently. Seems odd to me that these companies are worth so much, yet shareholders don't get any of the goodies?
MKTSQ 0.0075 x 0.008 what's up today? any news coming?
Baker & Taylor have acquired MKTS out of BK, inculding thier UK & Mexico operations as well, Baker & Taylor serves customers in 125 countries, Baker & Taylor are a privte co, and with this acquistion they can now become a publicly traded company throught this acquisition!
Baker & Taylor Forms New Group

Baker & Taylor acquires book distributor
Charlotte Business Journal - March 19, 2007
Baker & Taylor Inc. has acquired the wholesale operations of Advanced Marketing Services Inc., a California distributor of books to membership wholesale clubs.
Baker & Taylor will operate the warehouse-club business under a new brand, Baker & Taylor Marketing Services.
Baker & Taylor also acquired Advanced Marketing's wholesale distribution operations in the United Kingdom and Mexico.
Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Charlotte-based Baker & Taylor is a distributor of books, videos, music and electronic games to the library and retail markets. The company is owned by a private-equity investment fund organized and managed by Castle Harlan Inc. of New York.
Founded in 1828, Baker & Taylor serves customers in 125 countries.
http://charlotte.bizjournals.com/charlotte/stories/2007/03/19/daily8.html
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
Robert Robotti 22.1% of Common Stock and was also appointed to board of Dirtectors along with Mrck Ravitz who ownes another 12% of the common shares.

On September 11, 2006, the Ravenswood Investment Company, L.P. (“Ravenswood”) filed with the Corporate Secretary of Advanced Marketing Services, Inc. (the “Company”) a written notice (the "Notice Letter") in accordance with Article II Section 2(c) of the bylaws (the "Bylaws") of the Company of its intent at the next annual meeting of stockholders to propose a resolution requesting that the Board of Directors take all steps necessary to amend the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws to provide that Stockholders owning in the aggregate at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock be permitted to call a special meeting of the Stockholders.
Ravenswood believes this proposal would improve Advanced Marketing's corporate governance. Currently, the stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders, as only a majority of the Board of Directors may call a special meeting. Advanced Marketing has not held a stockholders meeting in over three years. Thus, Advanced Marketing's Board of Directors and management have not had to account to stockholders in over three years and Advanced Marketing's stockholders have not had the opportunity to vote for Directors in over three years. If Advanced Marketing's stockholders had the right to call a meeting of stockholders, this could have been prevented. Delaware law does not permit the stockholders acting without the Board of Directors to change the Certificate of Incorporation to give stockholders the right to call a special meeting. Accordingly, Ravenswood has decided to hold a referendum on this issue and put it to the Directors to take the necessary steps to permit stockholders to call special meetings.
Ravenswood believes that one or more holders owning 10% or more of the Company's Common Stock is the proper minimum for stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders. The Company's Shareholders' Rights Plan, or so called "Poison Pill," severely penalizes and thereby prevents stockholders from obtaining 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock. Similarly, the "Poison Pill" prevents stockholders holding 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock from acting together. Accordingly, Ravenswood believes that the 10% ownership level is necessary to enable stockholders to be able to exercise the ability to call a special meeting of stockholders.
In terms of day-to-day governance, the stockholders lose important rights, such as the ability to remove directors or initiate a stockholders' resolution without having to wait for the next scheduled meeting, if they are unable to compel a special meeting. Ravenswood believes that providing the stockholders with the ability to compel a special meeting will allow them to act more independently and increase their ability to hold the Board of Directors and Advanced Marketing's management accountable.
MKTSQ .0065x.007 hod on good volume! Sometimes i would rather just play the momo on a pinkie then listen to all the negative comments.... these pinks are a matter of perception .glty
If someone can find a closer source that could shed more clarity on things that would help.
nice work regardless. It's all speculation. Nobody knows what numbers the bankruptcy court is looking at. That is why "Q" plays are gambles. One thing that's positive is the fact that this company is still making money - and the more money they make, the more likely the shareholders are to see it. IMO
he said as far as he knows,, maybe someone else knows more,,he's the only one I could get through to.
My feelings is that this one could go either way. He may just be saying that because that is generally what happens. But if what hdogtx posted is correct regarding bonuses ECT. being paid to employees than their may be enough $$$$ available to pay shareholders as well. IMO
Lucky Dog! I got some .0047-.0045 this morn!!
Got filled, feels nice.
Widespread Panic ;))))
Who is he and how is he connected to AMS or B & T?
-- The Company's current estimated earnings per share for the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004
are $0.81, $0.82, $1.00, $0.29, and $0.02, respectively.
-- The Company's current estimated net sales for the five-year
period ended March 31, 2004 are $635 million, $720 million,
$763 million, $895 million, and $1.036 billion, respectively.
-- For its fiscal year 2005, the Company currently estimates that
net sales were in the range of between $915 million and $920
million and that the Company will report a net loss of between
$1.00 and $1.10 per share.
-- The Company estimates that, for its fiscal year 2006, net
sales will be in the range of between $760 million and $780
million, and that the Company will report a net loss of
between $0.25 and $0.35 per share.
-- The Company estimates that fiscal year 2006 gross margin will
range from 16.0% to 16.5% of net sales, in contrast to
approximately 15.3% of net sales in fiscal year 2005.
-- The Company estimates that distribution, general and
administrative costs, excluding the costs of the pending
investigations, litigation and restatement in both years and
excluding the distribution center reorganization costs in
fiscal year 2005, will be in the approximate range of between
16.8% and 17.0% of net sales in fiscal year 2006, in contrast
to approximately 16.3% in fiscal year 2005.
-- For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, the Company
estimates net sales from its existing businesses of between
$700 million and $750 million.
-- The estimate of net sales for the fiscal year ending March 31,
2007, reflects the expected loss of additional market share at
one of the Company's two major warehouse club customers,
offset somewhat by expected growth in other areas of the
existing business.
-- The Company will continue to focus on improved efficiency and
reduced costs in fiscal year 2007.
-- The Company believes that the borrowing base will increase and
the average loan balance will decrease in future months
because net sales and accounts receivable balances will
increase and payment requirements will decrease.
-- The Company is pursuing new product lines and new services,
and believes it can leverage its supply chain strengths, its
specialized merchandising expertise, and its customer and
supplier relationships into future growth opportunities.
Certain important factors could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements including factors discussed from time to time in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

I finally made contact with someone-
MWW Group for AMS
Rich Tauberman, 201-507-9500
I asked of the shares of MKTSQ trading on the pinks, if he was familiar with the situation. He said it was his understanding after the credtitors and debt is paid the sharholders would not receive anyhting, I asked not even after a reorg and he said no, as far as his understanding,
wish it was a more positive convo.
Mike Nicita, left AMS after news of the scandal and was replaced six months later by Bruce Myers, who installed a new team. He was gone 18 months later, replaced by Gary Rautenstrauch last May. And in 2005, the company's stock became effectively worthless when the SEC ruled to de-list the stock from major markets, which led to major shareholder Robert Robotti trying to gain a foothold within the company (in the end, he got a seat on the board, but in the wake of the bankruptcy, his stock has plummeted to $650,000.)
I was surprised by that, since I'd thought AMS had been absorbed.
Still waiting on someone to answer my voicemail.
That actually sounds pretty good. Baker's got bank.
I've been looking for info on Singapore for a few days too.
BTW, when you call AMS the voie that answers says thany you for calling Baker & Taylor Marketing Service & Advanced Marketing Service!
From what I have learned AMS is undergoing major jon cuts in Singapore and doing everything in their power to reduce overhead an get back on track, I will look for that info and post when I find it again!
Had to leave a message for Marc Ravitz, called back and left one for Gary Rautenstrauch, AMS's new president and chief executive officer. Mr. Rautenstrauch has substantial experience and expertise in the wholesale book distribution industry. Mr. Rautenstrauch spent 22 years with Baker & Taylor (B&T), a wholesale distributor of books, video and music products and services to retailers and libraries worldwide, and was that company's president and chief executive officer from 2001 through 2003.
Dunno, just came across that under AMS investor relations.
