ABLEAUCTIONS ANNOUNCES STOCK BUY-BACK PROGRAM
Ojai, California – July 23, 2007 - Ableauctions.com (AMEX:AAC) announced today that it will be initiating a stock purchase program beginning immediately. The purchases will occur from time to time at the Company’s discretion, with the Company’s currently available cash reserves. No specific number of shares or dollar value has been established by the Company.
Abdul Ladha, the Company’s President and CEO stated, “We have decided to embark on a stock purchase program because we do not believe that the recent trading levels of the Company’s stock reflect the Company’s value and potential. Also, by reducing the number of shares of common stock in the market we hope to ultimately create greater value for our shareholders. This step reflects our confidence in the future performance of our business.”
