NEWS RELEASE
-------------
INVESTORLINKS.COM INC. ENTERS INTO LETTER OF INTENT TO ACQUIRE
API ELECTRONICS INC.
Toronto, Ontario - August 1, 2001 - InvestorLinks.com Inc. ("Investorlinks" or
the "Company") (OTC BB: IVLKF, CDNX: YIK) announces that it has agreed in
principal to acquire API Electronics, Inc., of Hauppauge, New York ("API") as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Investorlinks (the "API Acquisition"). API is a
manufacturer and supplier of high-reliability semiconductors and microelectronic
circuits for military, aerospace, and commercial applications. A Special Meeting
of the Shareholders of Investorlinks is scheduled for August 30, 2001 in Toronto
(the "Shareholders Meeting") to among other matters consider and, if thought
appropriate, to pass resolutions approving, the API Acquisition and re-
organization of Investorlinks.
Investorlinks is proposing to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares of API for a purchase price of CDN $3,900,000 to be satisfied by the
issuance of 6,500,000 post-consolidation Units in Investorlinks at US$0.40 per
Unit to the API shareholders. Each Unit to consist of one Common Share and 1/2
of one Series A Common Share Purchase Warrant exercisable at US$0.45 per share
for a period of eighteen months from the date of issue and 1/2 of one Series B
Common Share Purchase Warrant exercisable at US$0.75 for a period of two years
from the date of issue. It is further proposed to re-organize Investorlinks in
part by consolidating its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of 1 new
share for each 3 existing shares and changing the name of Investorlinks to more
accurately reflect its new business focus. Upon the completion of the re-
organization and API Acquisition, there will be approximately CDN$2.0 million in
cash and 10,893,007 Investorlinks common shares outstanding, 59.67% of which
will be held by former API shareholders and 40.33% of which will be held by the
current Investorlinks shareholders.
Established in 1981 as a New York state corporation, API has maintained a
significant presence in the semiconductor industry for the past 20 years. API
currently occupies a 15,000-sq-ft manufacturing facility in Hauppauge, New York,
which it owns. All aspects of API's semiconductor manufacturing process are
completed on site at this location.
In continuous operation for the past 20 years, API restructured its management
team in 1992 and has achieved above average growth rate through developing
innovations for discontinued technologies and acquiring companies that supply
niche products to the industry. API has dealt with a number of electronics
manufacturers and electronic systems designers and has met their need for
relatively small runs of high-quality parts with closely defined functional
capabilities. API's operations and facilities are designed specifically to fill
this role.
Investorlinks.com Inc. owns and operates the Internet investment site
www.investorlinks.com. In a press release dated March 9, 2001 Investorlinks
announced that due to the Internet financial arena not emerging as anticipated,
Investorlinks had amended its business plan to reduce operations. Management of
Investorlinks feels that the proposed API Acquisition is in the best interest of
the Investorlinks shareholders.
CDNX neither approved nor disapproved of the API Acquisition and such there is
no representation that a market for Investorlinks shares will continue on CDNX.
There are currently 13,179,020 common shares of InvestorLinks issued and
outstanding.
