Avis Fleet Services Provides Earn-A-Car With Increased Credit Line For New Vehicle Purchases

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Earn-A-Car Inc. (OTC:BB - ticker symbol EACR), ("Company"), announced today that Avis Fleet Services in South Africa has increased the Company's wholly owned South African subsidiary's current credit line from the previous ZAR9million, to ZAR13million (approximately US$1,654,000). Currently, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Earn-A-Car (PTY) Ltd., has utilized 45% of the total available amount, with approximately ZAR7.1million (approximately US$900,000) available for additional vehicle purchases. In addition, the Company, through its wholly owned South African subsidiary, is currently negotiating additional credit lines with other lending institutions, in line with its policy of rapid fleet expansion to meet customer demand.

John Storey, CEO and President of the Company, noted: "This increase of our existing credit facility with Avis Fleet Services will allow our Company to pursue our short term goal of expanding our fleet to meet the growing customer demand. In addition to the larger Avis facility, which we believe reflects the confidence that our lenders have in our business model, we are actively negotiating with other lending institutions for more loan capital so that we can expand our fleet size substantially over the course of this year. As a result of an increase in our fleet size, we anticipate a positive impact on our revenue growth and profit and expect our internal ROI to remain constant at around 50% pre-tax. While the Company's management is always aware of the potential to over-leverage, our business model lends itself naturally to financial leverage by virtue of our operating margins. In any event, the Board has decided to constrain senior debt to a prudent 60% of total assets and maintain senior debt interest cover at no less than 40% of EBIT.  Management is confident that the Company can access even more significant bank financing on an ongoing basis, in order to fuel the growth of our Company which is entirely driven by customer demand. It is our intention to continue to rapidly and substantially increase the size of our fleet and our revenue stream, to satisfy this ongoing and robust demand for our cars by individuals who are unable to meet South Africa's stringent credit requirements. We remain positive that going forward, we can both meet and significantly improve the quantum of profit the Company already generates."
