The combination is expected to bring considerable synergies:

    and cost optimization 
--  Additional sales team for new business development 
--  Cash and access to additional capital 
--  Immediate improvement in gross margins from integration of a key
    supplier 
--  Strengthened engineering and regulatory talent 
--  Existing locations improve proximity to customers, and 
--  Considerable tax loss carry-forwards to shield earnings. 



"We are thrilled with the synergies that the PowerCart team will bring to ACT"
said Graham Warren, ACT's CEO. Jonathan Emanuel, PowerCart's CEO commented: "by
joining forces, we can fully capitalize on ACT's industry-leading technology and
market position as well as continue to grow PowerCart's strong customer base".


The transaction is expected to close within two weeks.
