Auctions International Announces Change in Business Direction

MIAMI BEACH, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Auctions International, Inc. ("Auctions") (OTCPINK: AUCI) would like to announce to its shareholders that in anticipation of the closing of the previously announced merger between Rangemore Productions Corp. and Auctions, that the management has decided to consolidate its business operations and to focus on the development of its live auction television program and the day to day running of the film studios know as "Island Studios".  Auctions will be winding down its technology development operations and will be terminating its relationship with Amero International ("Amero").

The decision to terminate the relationship with Amero was not taken lightly but it was felt that the Amero business model did not fit the Auctions new business direction and that it would be best for all parties involved to cancel the arrangement.  In addition, the management of Amero is having difficulties meeting the ongoing financial reporting requirements set out by the regulators and Auctions did not prepare consolidated financial statements as a result.

At this time Auctions would like to also announce that any other pending mergers, joint ventures and acquisition that Auctions management were contemplating have been cancelled.  The soul focus of Auctions is now the day-to-day running of Island Studios and the development on the online auctions television program.

As previously announced, on October 12, 2012 Rangemore signed a Binding Letter of Intent to merge with Auctions International Inc. where at the closing Rangemore and Auction will become one entity operating under the name Rangemore Productions Corp.  It is anticipated that the closing will occur in January 2013.

Production History
Since opening in 2002 the following films have been shot at Island Studios: 2002 Suzie Gold, 2003 Trauma & Piccadilly Jim, 2004 The Libertine, 2005 Stormbreaker & Mistress of Spices,  2006 Mutant Chronicles, 2008 Heartless, 2009 The Disappearance of Alice Creed, and on December 11, 2012, Auctions and Rangemore announced that the filming of "Dom Hemingway", featuring Jude Law and Richard E. Grant and directed by Richard Shepard, had been completed at Island Studios on the Isle of Man.  Rangemore will be getting production credits and a royalty for the use of the studios.

Film Productions
Along with the studio operations, Rangemore will be producing their own independent films. Each project will have its own corporate structure and management team.  Rangemore is actively pursuing a number of film projects that they feel will provide shareholders with a better than average rate of return.  Rangemore will also be negotiating co-producer agreements with outside productions coming into the Studios in exchange for studio time (cost set-off against a contracted agreement for profit share).  This gives Rangemore the flexibility to participate in other productions that they feel will become successful without having to make cash investment.
