Quote:AUCTIONCITIES, INC. ISSUES CORRECTION AND CANCELS TRANSACTION WITH AUCTION VIDEO, INC.
Misstatement of information supplied by Auction Video Prompts AuctionCities to Apologize to SANYO.
VALENCIA, CA, Jan. 21 -- In a series of unfortunate events, AuctionCities.com, Inc. (OTC: AUCC) finds itself a victim of misstatement of information and subsequently, was forced to cancel its relationship with Auction Video, Inc. due to a statement issued Friday, over BUSINESS WIRE (TOKYO  Jan. 19, 2006) by Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. Spokesperson, Ryan Watson, denied the licensing agreement between NTT-DATA SANYO and Auction Video, Inc. In yesterdayÂs release, Watson stated, ÂNTT-DATA SANYO SYSTEM has absolutely no business with AuctionVideo.com.Â
Details of the AuctionCities.com announcement from the Sanyo Booth at the recent Consumer Electronics Show, as communicated by Auction Video, are denied by NTT_DATA SANYO. Thereby, the terms of the AuctionCities.com, Inc. and Auction Video, Inc. transaction are cancelled.
Statements in AuctionCities.com press releases (MARKET WIRE - Jan. 5, 7, 13, 2006) as represented by Auction Video, Inc. to AuctionCities.com, Inc. as valid, appear to have been unapproved by persons unknown to AuctionCities.com, Inc. at the time of the press releases. Therefore, the following points, while they occurred on January 5, 2006, are no longer valid:
 1. The new SANYO VideoCellphone was officially unveiled at CES.
 2. An exclusive licensing agreement does not exist with NTT-DATA SANYO and Auction Video.com.
 3. The NTT-DATA SANYO Video Communications Cell Phone schedule for U.S. rollout is unknown.
 4. No agreement currently exists, whereby AuctionCities.com will be the exclusive U.S. Internet distributor of this exciting new device.
While AuctionCities.com, Inc. apologizes for any embarrassment, because photographic and video evidence exists, we cannot deny statements and events that actually happened in the historical chronology of Jan 5, 2006.
Additionally, in the (Jan. 5, 2006) AuctionCities.com news release, a comment reported and furnished by Auction Video attributed to NTT-DATA SANYO, seems to have been fabricated and distributed by someone other than AuctionCities.com, Inc. It has, recently, been reported to AuctionCities that said person and department do not exist.
AuctionCities.com, Inc. CEO, Michael S. Berman stated, ÂI apologize for the afore-mentioned news releases which were, evidently and absolutely, not based on facts, as reported to AuctionCities.com, Inc. I regret the embarrassment caused to Sanyo and those associated with Auctioncities.com, including Market Wire, our members and shareholders. We rely on the integrity of our business associates and up to this point, our Âdue diligence inquiries have not presumed to venture beyond the information provided by our proposed partners. In the future, in order that this sort of information delivery doesnÂt cause harm, we will take the utmost caution regarding information disclosure.Â
