Amvest Financial Group Secures $3,000,000 Loan

for Symsack Properties

St Louis, Missouri June 14, 2004 -- Amvest Financial Group, Inc. announced today that it has secured a $3,000,000 loan for their client Symsack Properties of St. Louis.

"Amvest has a successful track record of securing real estate financing with very advantageous pricing and structures for their clients,” said Charles K. Oppenheimer, Jr., President and CEO of Amvest Financial Group, Inc.

Symsack Properties is the owner of the Esquire Theater Building which is leased to AMC Theaters. The owners of Symsack Properties sought to refinance their building under a long term fixed rate structure, not typically available at local banks. Most banks tend not to want to make long term fixed rate real estate loans.  Merritt Mamroth spearheaded the assignment for Amvest.

Amvest, founded in 1976, is a leading national investment banking firm specializing in financing, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and related services for clients in all industries generally with sales from $10 million to over $5 billion and financing transactions for amounts in excess of $1 million.  Amvest's value is enhanced by the fact that many of their professionals have acquired, sold and financed companies for their own account, providing real-world, hands-on experience.
