It is simply called the Amazon line, a complete line of submerged environmentally friendly wood targeted specifically to the musical instrument industry. With these new potential alliances we hope to provide the musical community with the best sounding and most beautifully exotic instruments in the world, and, at the same time, penetrate a market with annual revenues exceeding 6.5 billion dollars. And since we are the leading supplier of submerged wood, we want the industry to know that we can offer them something that they have never had. That is, a consistent and dependable year round supply of environmentally friendly submerged Amazon wood.&uot;

Mr. Ackles further stated, &uot;ACIC has recently secured the internet domain names of www.amazonline.com and www.amazonwood.com and we will soon begin building our websites for e-commerce.&uot;

AQCI for the near term, has elected to handle all investor relations calls in-house, at 1-800-565-6544.
