(formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pink Sheets: AVTC - News), today announced it has filed a Form 10-SB with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes two years of audits, and which brings the Company's filing current through the first quarter of 2008.

"This is an important step forward in realizing our goal to become fully reporting and to list on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board," said Shannon Illingworth, Founder.

Other future goals spelled out in the filing include manufacturing and selling as many RAM5000 and RAM4000 vending machines as possible in the next 12 months in the U.S.

The RAM5000 is a non-refrigerated unit and market studies and research along with multiple distributor feedback indicates a strong demand for the RAM5000. AVT initially received the initial prototypes, made the necessary modifications and ordered 20 pre-production units. The pre-production units have been received and AVT is currently refining the units to be incorporated into its first order of 200 production units. AVT expects to receive approximately 50 production units this month.

"We are also completing software advertising program and hardware network called 'AVTi Media.' We believe that this program has the potential to provide the largest revenue stream to the Company. Our goal is to promote advertising sales with our existing vending routes which we operate and as add-ons to the vending machines we sell to independent operators. AVT will sell advertising which will run on systems within the AVTi Media network. Both AVT systems and non-AVT vending systems equipped with AVT based PCs running the advertising software will be capable of being part of the national (and soon international) AVTi Media Network," Mr. Illingworth explained.
