Nanoscience Technologies, Inc. [OTC Pink: NANS] is pleased to announce it has changed its name to American Films, Inc., which reflects the steps it has taken towards a capital reconfiguration with a new industry direction.
The reconfigured company will focus on production, distribution, and financing of film projects, domestically and internationally.
John Carty, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the re-directed company said, "We are enthusiastic about the continuing importance of the entertainment industry in contemporary culture and look forward to supporting creative development through time-honored principles of common-sense business management with profitability and return on investment as key goals and indicators of success." New, flexible funding mechanisms are anticipated as the company implements its film financing emphasis.
Carty continued, "We were very pleased to reach agreement with all major stakeholders towards re-energizing and redirecting the company. The corporate entity remained viable and was an appropriate vehicle for our entertainment focus." A settlement on all issues was reached with YA Global (formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners), the major debt holder of the company. The debt owed by the company to YA Global was reduced from approximately $2,900,000 to $450,000 pursuant to a series of debt sales and equity conversions. The company and YA Global agreed to restructure the remaining $450,000 debenture, including, without limitation, extending the maturity date.
