American Mold Guard, Inc. (NasdaqSC: AMGI, AMGIW, AMGIZ), an industry leader in the field of mold prevention services, today announced that it expects its net sales for the third quarter ending September 30, 2006 to be below the target it provided during its earnings conference call on July 25, 2006. On that call, the company forecasted that third quarter net sales would be in the range of $3.1 to $3.6 million or a 20 to 40 percent increase from the second quarter of 2006. The company now believes that third quarter net sales will be in the range of $2.1 to $2.3 million or down 11 to 19 percent from the second quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the company is forecasting approximately 80% net sales growth versus the same period a year ago. "During the quarter, builders delayed new housing starts due to declining sales and excess inventory," said Tom Blakeley, chief executive officer of American Mold Guard. "In California and Florida where the company is established, the inventory correction was more severe than what we originally anticipated. Although we are having success securing new customers in these regions, in the near term it is not enough to offset the effect of reduced new housing starts." "Our Gulf restoration business has seen steady growth since last year. As we entered the quarter we expected the pace of the Gulf restoration to continue along this trend. However, during the quarter, homeowners and businesses in the most devastated areas took a wait-and-see-approach at the start of the hurricane season that has slowed the rate of growth in our restoration business. We would expect this business to pick up, post-hurricane season provided that the area is not impacted by another major storm," said Mr. Blakeley. "As a company, we remain focused on growing sales by offering customers a product, service and warranty for mold prevention that is unmatched in the market place. We have expanded our footprint with the opening of five new service centers in the second quarter of this year and with the new Midwest region announced in July. We are also leveraging our business model by increasing our focus on the multifamily business. These efforts are designed to increase the customer base we service which ultimately should benefit the company exponentially when the housing market strengthens," added Mr. Blakeley. "Achieving profitability continues to be a key focus of the company. In the third quarter, we implemented several productivity improvements aimed at margin expansion and we have put in place proactive cost controls to optimize SG&A spending," concluded Mr. Blakeley. American Mold Guard will release its financial results for the third quarter on October 19, 2006. At that time, the company will provide more details on its business.
