Exhibit 99.1

 

Cycle Country Accessories Corp. Announces Significant Growth in Pre-season Sales, Signing of Term Sheet for New Credit Facility, and Management Changes.

 

Spencer, Iowa, June 9. 2011. Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (AMEX:ATC) announced that it has received a significant increase of pre-season orders for its products for the 2011-2012 season.  Based on these pre-season sales levels, the Company reports that it expects sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2012 to continue the recovery shown so far this year, and it expects total revenue to be up year-over-year, in spite of the approximately $2.0 million per year of lost revenue from the small, contract manufacturing accounts in its Imdyne division that the Company has exited from.

 

In addition, the Company announced that it has signed a term sheet with a new lender to provide a larger working capital credit facility for an aggregate amount of $5,000,000, replacing the Company’s current $2,000,000 working capital facility. The new credit facility will be used to repay the existing line of credit and to provide working capital for its ongoing operations.  The funding is expected to close within 30 days.

 

The Company also announced formally the changes made in its senior management team over the past few months.  The Company has rebuilt its executive management based on a team of former leaders of the Company and the industry.  The Company has rehired its Vice President of Sales, rehired its Vice President of Product Innovation, as well as retained and elevated two key people to the recently-created positions of Vice President of Product Implementation and Vice President of Risk Management and Strategic Projects.

 

The Company attributes its current, accelerated growth and efficiencies to its simple plan to serve its core customers with core products.
