Acquired Sales Corp. Plans to Acquire River Country Transport, Inc.

Acquired Sales Corp. (OTCQB: AQSP) today announced that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire River Country Transport, Inc., Battle Ground, Washington ("RCT"). The proposed merger, which can only be closed upon the parties meeting several conditions, has an estimated value of approximately $2 million, of which 50% is to be paid in cash, and the other 50% in shares of common stock of Acquired Sales. Acquired Sales also plans to pay off all of RCT's outstanding debt.

RCT is a liquid transport and environmental services company with a fleet of high volume tankers that deliver over 25% of the wastewater volume accepted by PPV, Inc.'s wastewater pretreatment facility in Portland, Oregon. Acquired Sales has previously announced a letter of intent to acquire PPV, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bravo Environmental NW, Inc., Tukwila, Washington. The management team of RCT will continue to lead RCT following the merger.

Closing of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including the completion of mutually acceptable due diligence, delivery of audited financial statements, completion of a capital raise of at least $17 million, execution of definitive merger documents, obtaining necessary third party approvals, and completion of all necessary securities filings.

Gerard M. Jacobs, the Chairman and CEO of Acquired Sales, said, “RCT is a key wastewater supplier to PPV, Inc., and we expect RCT to integrate well with PPV's growth strategies. We look forward to partnering with RCT's high quality management team, led by the Templeton family."

Kip Templeton, RCT's Vice President, said, "We are excited about the capital expansion to allow the utilization of new technologies and increased capabilities that our planned merger with Acquired Sales offers RCT. This will allow RCT to service more customers within the greater northwestern states."
