This approach, consistently applied, has enabled us to develop shareholder value over the long term, while prudently managing risk," noted Mr. Atayan.
"The price/value relationship of our products and services are extremely important to our customer base. We are in alignment with our customers and our key vendors to develop dynamic merchandising programs that foster customer profitability and growth. We continue to make investments in foodservice and information technology as a key component of our program development," said Kathleen Evans, President of AMCON's wholesale distribution segment.

At December 31, 2012, shareholders' equity was $48.8 million and consolidated debt was $36.3 million," said Andrew Plummer, AMCON's Chief Financial Officer. "We continue to make a wide variety of capital investments that will enhance our ability to provide first class service and support to our customers," added Mr. Plummer.
