PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

American Commerce Solutions, Inc., was incorporated in Rhode Island in May 1991 under the name Jaque Dubois, Inc. and was re-incorporated in Delaware in 1994. In July 1995, the Company’s name was changed to JD American Workwear, Inc. In December 2000 the shareholders voted to change the name of the company to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. to more accurately portray the activities of the company.

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “American Commerce”) is a multi-industry holding company for its operating subsidiaries. As of the close of its most recently completed fiscal year end, the Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries operating in the manufacturing segment and the fiberglass segment. The operating subsidiaries are International Machine and Welding, Inc. located in Bartow, Florida and Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. located in Tampa, Florida.

The Company intends to expand its holdings by acquiring additional subsidiaries to facilitate its business plan. The current business plan has been in development since June 2000.

International Machine and Welding, Inc. provides specialized machining services for heavy industry. Target customers in the region include mining, agriculture processing, maritime, power generation and industrial machinery companies. Additional operations include heavy equipment service to the construction, forestry, waste and scrap industries. The operation provides complete service of the equipment, which includes rebuilding undercarriages, engines, transmissions, final drives and hydraulics. The effective service area for the operation located in the Southeastern region of the United States is a prime and lucrative market for such services. Growth in this region of the United States (population, infrastructure, and building) has created long term needs for construction equipment. All of these machines require periodic maintenance, and at certain points major overhauls. In addition to its 38,000 square foot facility, the operation also provides fully equipped field service vehicles so machines do not have to be removed from the work site.

International Machine and Welding, Inc. also sells OEM and after-market repair parts for heavy equipment. The operation has an extensive cross-reference listing and network of sources. One of the major competitive advantages of the operation is its ability to determine exactly what the customer needs and fulfill the requirement. In many cases, the customer may not have service manuals or to be able to identify part numbers. If a customer has more than one type of machine, which is quite common, they may have to contact a number of different suppliers to get parts for multiple machines. Our operation identifies the required parts and arranges the necessary repairs. As a result, the customer only has to make one phone call for all of their needs. This also makes International Machine and Welding, Inc. an attractive alternative for sales to customers outside the United States. Orders can be accumulated throughout the month and be sent on consolidated shipments. This has created a niche market for the direct parts sales division. The operation currently has two customer relationships in the Caribbean. Management believes that this market has not been fully targeted by its competitors and offers potential as a source of increased business.

Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc., which was acquired on October 11, 2003 from a related party, manufactures motorcycle trailers with fiberglass bodies. These trailers are sold both on the retail and dealer levels. The company also provides non warranty repairs, modification of existing Chariot Trailers.

The Board of Directors of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. has determined that it will seek to acquire additional fiberglass manufacturing operations and construction operations that utilize heavy equipment. Additional segments being considered are manufacturing supply operations, consumer products and commercial construction support services.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

The Company sold back to its original founder the assets and certain liabilities of its JD American Workwear, Inc. operation and all of the Rhode Island Truck and Equipment, Inc. operations on May 31, 2001 and October 31, 2001, respectively. The terms and conditions of these transactions have been reported in their respective Form 10-QSB for the period ended May 31, 2001 and November 30, 2001 and are incorporated by reference herein.

On June 1, 2000, the Company completed the purchase of International Machine and Welding, Inc. by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of its holding company, Patina Corporation for a total purchase price of $4,446,159. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, International Machine and Welding, Inc.’s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The acquisition was funded by the issuance of 9,800 shares of Series C 6% Preferred Stock.

On June 1, 2000, the Company completed the purchase of Rhode Island Truck and Equipment Corp. d/b/a International Paving, Inc. by acquiring all its outstanding capital stock for a total purchase price of $238,000. The acquisition was funded by the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock.

On June 1, 2001, the Company discontinued the operations of its JD American Workwear, Inc. subsidiary and exchanged certain assets and liabilities with the President of the subsidiary for 725,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and notes payable of $43,115. On October 31, 2001, the Company returned all of the stock of Rhode Island Truck and Equipment Corp. to its original owners in exchange for 155,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On October 11, 2003, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. from a related party for $360,000. The acquisition was financed through the assignment of a note receivable valued at $150,000, $30,000 worth of common stock and a note payable for $180,000.

During the year ended February 28, 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire certain assets, including equipment and inventory from a supplier for $848,650. The Company acquired equipment and inventory valued at $768,826 and $6,208, respectively, and forgiveness of payables of $73,616 by the supplier. In exchange for the assets and forgiveness of payables, the Company assigned receivables $131,658, forgave debt of $273,376 and issued notes payable of $443,616.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The Company has adopted a business strategy that focuses on expansion through acquisition. The key elements of acquisition targets must include solid management, profitability, geographical locations compatibility and/or undervalued companies that can be enhanced by shared services and opportunities.

Under the current strategy, the Company is developing three divisions of its chosen segment: Manufacturing and Fiberglass.

MANUFACTURING SEGMENT

The Manufacturing Segment through International Machine and Welding, Inc. offers a broad range of products and services to heavy industry through its three divisions. The operations of Division 1 provide specialized machining of very large components and machinery repair to industries such as aerospace, agricultural processing, chemical, defense, mining, maritime and power generation. Our 38,000 square foot facility located in Bartow, Florida is one of the only operations in the Southeast capable of machining components up to 55 feet in length and/or 20 feet in diameter. Division 2 provides heavy equipment service (parts and labor), which includes repair and bonded rebuilds of engines, tracks, undercarriages, transmissions, final drives and hydraulic systems on heavy equipment. The equipment we repair is from the heavy construction industry including bulldozers, scrapers, loaders, excavators, large tractors, rollers, etc. The division provides field service via equipped service trucks to provide repairs at the customer’s site. Division 3 sells replacement parts to the heavy equipment market, directly to the end user with most of the parts exported outside the United States.

FIBERGLASS SEGMENT

The Fiberglass Segment through Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. produces a line of fiberglass trailers suitable for a wide range of uses. Some of the uses include the transportation of motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft, small vehicles, vending, mobile fiber optic workstations, utility and other specialized applications. The trailers are available in both open and enclosed configurations. The fiberglass unibody construction of the product is stronger, yet lighter than conventional aluminum and steel trailers. The Chariot trailer has a steel tube sub frame which is tucked up inside the fiberglass body reducing drag. Since the body is molded in fiberglass, the shape can be optimized to reduce drag. The overall shape, coupled with the light weight of the trailer also improves gas mileage while towing. The trailers can be fitted with optional features such as custom interiors and sleeper options.

MANUFACTURING AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY

Manufacturing Segment

Supplies and parts used by International Machine and Welding, Inc. are purchased from several major suppliers including Caterpillar, John Deere, Case and other major manufacturers and after market parts suppliers. The machining operations purchase from many suppliers based on the need of specific jobs. Although the operations do not have any long-term contracts with any of its suppliers, management believes that it has excellent business relationships with its current suppliers and it is not exposed to any significant risk in the event any one source of supply is discontinued, because there are many suppliers.

Fiberglass Segment

Likewise, Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. has a ready supply of material available through both seasoned and new suppliers and vendors.

MARKETING AND SALES

Manufacturing Segment

International Machine and Welding, Inc. operates three divisions at one location. Division 1 sales have traditionally come from industries within a 100-mile radius of its facilities requiring specialized machining applications. Direct salesmen have established relationships with specific customers and the Company has expanded the business relationship through quality, rapid turn and value. While this business is quite lucrative, visibility is limited. The operation intends to expand its operations in the OEM market, where the subsidiary provides components to manufacturers of large machines. These types of accounts generally involve annual contracts with three-month rolling schedules. The expansion of the market also is expected to increase the serviceable territory from the Southeast to include the entire United States.

Direct sales personnel who primarily target mid-tier accounts handle sales for Division 2 and 3. We believe that this broad niche market is largely untapped by the larger factory-sponsored operations which cater specifically to very large accounts. Margins are typically very slim in these accounts and a large percentage of customer base is represented by very few accounts. Because we are an independent repair facility, we can provide service to a much broader base of customers with greater margins than the large factory-sponsored competitors.

Fiberglass Segment

Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. sells through a network of dealers throughout the United States, or directly to individuals. Inquiries from individuals come from a number of sources including the Company’s participation in industry events, the Company’s web site and from people who have seen the product on the road and called the Company’s phone number, (which is on every trailer produced either in graphic form or molded into the fiberglass body). Many inquiries result from referrals from existing customers. The Company has a 28 year history and is well known in the industry. Recently, the Company has begun to pursue OEM business, where trailers are sold to companies rather than individuals or dealers. These companies will install their products into the trailer and sell the package to the end user.

COMPETITION

Manufacturing Segment

The principal competitors of the Manufacturing Division consists of regional companies such as Southern Machinery, Florida Plating and Machine, Arroyo and Florida Metalizing in the machining operations and national corporations such as Ringhaver Equipment, Caterpillar, and Case repair facilities in the heavy equipment parts and service category. Management believes that the ability to rapidly turn goods or to provide parts on a timely basis gives it a competitive advantage. We are able to ship parts directly to the consumer, usually on the same day as the order or to return all service work within the time specified either by completing the work at the customers site or because of immediate turnaround capabilities.

Fiberglass Segment

Chariot Manufacturing’s principal competitors include companies such as Pace American, Hallmark, Feather Light and Wells Cargo. Chariot is competitively priced when compared to comparably equipped trailers. Chariot is positioned in the market as a premium product. Many features are standard equipment on the Chariot, while they are options on competitive products. Chariot’s aerodynamic styling, lightweight, unibody construction, balance, resale value and standard features differentiate it from the competition.

CUSTOMER DEPENDENCE

Manufacturing Segment

International Machine and Welding, Inc. has a broad and diverse base of customers. The division does not rely on any single customer, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the segment. This division does generate a significant amount of revenues from sales and services provided to three different industries. The construction industry accounted for approximately -39% of the division’s revenues in fiscal 2006 compared to 44% in fiscal 2005, while the industrial and mining industries accounted for approximately 40% and 19% in fiscal 2006 compared to 39% and 17% in fiscal 2005, respectively, of the division’s total revenues. Due to these concentrations, the results of operations of the division could be affected by changes in the economic, regulatory, or other related conditions impacting on these industries.

Although the division does not rely on a single customer, three of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 32% of total revenues for the year ended February 28, 2006. These customers were Mosaic Phosphates 16%, Bahamas Marine 8.5% and Dixie Southern 7.5%.

Fiberglass Segment

Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. has a wide base of customers. The loss of a single customer or dealer would not have a material adverse effect on the business. The primary use of the product is to transport motorcycles. The motorcycle industry growth has been strong in recent years. Sales for the Company’s products, however, are not tied to sales of new motorcycles.

EMPLOYEES

At February 28, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries had 31 full-time employees. The parent operation has two full time executives. The Manufacturing segment employs 22 full time employees. Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. employs 7 full time employees while contracting substantially all of the fiberglass activity.

FUTURE ACQUISITIONS

The Company remains dedicated to its basic business plan, which calls for growth through acquisition of strategic business opportunities. Although discussions and negotiations continue with multiple companies, the most anticipated opportunities remain to be within the fiberglass industry. As of the filing of this document, we have not completed the close of a fiberglass recycling company, however progress is being made daily with all requisite functions, i.e., accounting, legal and structural.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (including the Exhibits hereto) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding, among other things, the financial condition and prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, results of operations, projections, plans for future business development activities and the opportunities available within its market areas, capital spending plans, financing sources, projections of financial results or economic performance, capital structure, the effects of competition, statements of plans, expectations, or objectives of the Company, and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” and other similar words and expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “should,” “would,” and “could” and other characterizations of future events or circumstances. In addition, the Company may from time to time make such written or oral “forward-looking statements” in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including exhibits thereto), in its reports to stockholders, and in other communications made by or with the approval of the Company.

These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Company at the time they are made and are based on information currently available to the management of the Company and upon current expectations, estimates, and projections regarding the Company and its industry, management’s beliefs with respect thereto, and certain assumptions made by management. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors (many of which are outside the control of the Company), which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak only to the date that such statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as the

result of new information, future events, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise. The following sets forth some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those which are the subject of any forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS

Accumulated Deficit and Operating Losses and Anticipated Earnings; Explanatory Language in Auditor’s Report. The Company had an accumulated deficit at February 28, 2006 of $15,764,302 and net loss to common shareholders of $922,351 for the year ended February 28, 2006. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,841,951, and net loss to common shareholders of $1,278,889 for the year ended February 28, 2005. The Company’s financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. While there can be no assurance of this outcome, management believes its plan of operation will allow the Company to achieve this goal.

Growth Plans and Risk of Expansion. The Company adopted and implemented a business strategy, which seeks growth and expansion through the acquisition of synergistic companies. Accordingly, the growth and financial performance of the Company will depend, in large part, upon the Company’s ability to identify and locate suitable acquisitions, to manage such growth and the resultant diverse operations, to manage the margins of the acquired operations, and to attract, hire, train, and retain qualified supervisory personnel and other operational employees to meet the Company’s needs as it expands, as well as the availability of sufficient working capital. Difficulties resulting from the failure of the Company to manage and control its growth could materially adversely affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition.

No Assurance of Acquisitions. Although the Company has had preliminary discussions with potential acquisition candidates, the Company has only completed one such transaction in the last fiscal year. The Company does have current understandings or arrangements (oral or written) relating to specific acquisitions, but can not give specific timing to close the potential acquisitions. Until binding agreements are in place there can be no assurance that any proposed acquisition will be consummated or that adequate, acceptable and affordable financing will be available.

Furthermore, to the extent that acquisitions are consummated, the Company’s success or failure will depend upon management’s ability to integrate the acquired business into the company and implementation of adequate management skills and systems necessary to accomplish the Company’s strategy. Additionally, the Company is unable to predict whether or when, once integrated, any acquisition may achieve comparable levels of revenues, profitability, or productivity as existing Company operations, or otherwise perform as expected (including achievement of expected synergies or financial benefits). The Company may face competition for desirable acquisitions from entities that may possess greater resources than the Company.

Acquisition Risks. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the diversion of management’s attention from core operations, difficulties in the integration of acquired operations and retention of personnel, customers, and suppliers, unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, tax and accounting issues, and the inability to obtain all necessary governmental and other approvals and consents.

Need for Additional Financing. Cash flows from the sale of securities provided the working capital needs and principal payments on long-term debt through most of fiscal 2006. However, the Company will need to obtain additional financing in order to finance its acquisition and growth strategy. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company does require additional financing and it cannot be obtained or the terms of such financings are unfavorable, it may have a material adverse impact on our operations and profitability, and the Company may need to curtail its business plan and strategy.

Loss of Certain Members of Our Management Team Could Adversely Affect the Company. The Company is dependent to a significant extent on the continued efforts and abilities of our Chairman, Robert E. Maxwell and President and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel L. Hefner. If the company were to lose the services of either of these individuals or other key employees or consultants before a qualified replacement could be obtained, the business could be materially affected.

Expected Volatility in Share Price. The market price of our stock has traded in a wide range. From March 1, 2001 through February 28, 2006 the price of our common shares has ranged from $0.01 to $0.78 per share. The price of our common stock may be subject to fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, creation or elimination of funding opportunities, restriction of the acquisition plans, and favorable or unfavorable coverage of our officers and Company by the press.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

International Machine and Welding, Inc. owns in fee simple title a 38,000 square foot facility in Bartow, Florida, which currently serves as the principal executive offices of American Commerce Solutions. A note payable to Valrico State Bank, originally at $875,000 encumbers this building. As of February 28, 2006, the balance on this note is $770,241. This note was refinanced in December 2005 for three years. The original note and mortgage in favor of Valrico State Bank allowed the Company to negotiate a settlement with GE Capital Small Business and other creditors, substantially reducing debt service and generating a one time gain of $812,014, which was recognized during fiscal year ending February 28, 2003.

Chariot Manufacturing Co., Inc. has its corporate offices at the International Machine and Welding facilities in Bartow, Florida. Its manufacturing operations are housed in an approximately 12,500 square foot moveable facility located in Tampa, Florida. The land that the facility is housed on, approximately 1.5 acres, is under a lease /option by AFG assigned to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. as part of the July 2004 asset purchase of AFG assets. AFG is one of Chariot’s key fiberglass suppliers. It is anticipated that the facilities will be adequate to meet the company’s sales projections until a more permanent facility can be secured or the land is purchased to create a more permanent operation. The adjacent, slightly larger parcel is available. ACS has a ‘right of first refusal’ on this parcel.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

During the year ended February 28, 2006, the Company did not submit any matters to a vote of its security holders.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This discussion is intended to further the reader’s understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. This discussion also contains forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risks and uncertainties set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report and in the Company’s other SEC filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company is not party to any transactions that would be considered “off balance sheet” pursuant to disclosure requirements under ITEM 303(c).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company owns two subsidiaries that operated in the manufacturing segment and the fiberglass segment during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 and 2005. To facilitate the readers understanding of the Company’s financial performance, this discussion and analysis is presented on a segment basis.

MANUFACTURING SEGMENT

The manufacturing subsidiary, International Machine and Welding, Inc., generates its revenues from three divisions. Division 1 provides specialized machining and repair services to heavy industry and original equipment manufacturers. Division 2 provides repair and rebuild services on heavy equipment used in construction and mining as well as sales of used equipment. Division 3 provides parts sales for heavy equipment directly to the customer. The primary market of this segment is the majority of central and south Florida with parts sales expanding its market internationally. The current operations can be significantly expanded using the 38,000 square foot structure owned by International Machine and Welding, Inc.

FIBERGLASS SEGMENT

FISCAL YEAR 2006 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2005

General

The Company’s consolidated net sales decreased to $2,301,574 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, a decrease of $452,059 or 16%, from $2,753,633 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. The decrease in net sales was due to Chariot Manufacturing closing the plant for production while it completed some additional molds and to the merger of three of our manufacturing customers which impacted our total retail sales for the manufacturing subsidiary

Gross profit for the consolidated operations decreased to $811,176 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 from $853,656 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased in fiscal year 2006 to 35% from 31% in fiscal year ended 2005. The increase in gross profit margin was due to an emphasis on more profitable business, including the change in the mix between machining and sales of parts and services.

Consolidated interest expense in fiscal 2006 was $144,167 compared to $163,258 in fiscal 2005. The overall decrease in interest expense was due to the Company reducing the amount of outstanding debt.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2,115,724 for fiscal 2006 from $2,200,668 for fiscal 2005, a decrease of $84,944 or 4%. This decrease was due to more efficient management of expenses.

The Company incurred a net consolidated loss of $922,351 for the year ended February 28, 2006 compared to a loss of $1,278,889 for the year ended February 28, 2005. The decrease in the consolidated net loss is primarily due to the forgiveness of debt and the proceeds from an insurance claim.

Manufacturing Segment

The manufacturing operation, International Machine and Welding, Inc. provided net sales of $2,135,478 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 compared to $2,371,771 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. The machining operations provided $904,410 or 42% of net sales with parts and service providing $1,231,068 or 58% of net sales for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 as compared to machining operations contributing $894,235 or 38% of net sales with parts and service providing $1,477,536 or 62% of net sales for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005.

Gross profit from International Machine and Welding, Inc. was $791,172 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 compared to $791,673 in fiscal 2005 providing gross profit margins of 37% and 33.4%, respectively. Although this represents a decrease in gross profit, the lower cost associated with the decreased sales translated to an increase in gross profit as a percentage.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for International Machine and Welding, Inc. were $919,749 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 compared to $906,625 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005.

Interest expense was $105,632 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 compared to $101,016 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. The increase in interest expense, net is due to the Company’s additional debt taken on during the first quarter of 2005.

The Company does not have discrete financial information on each of the three manufacturing divisions, nor does the Company make decisions on the divisions separately; therefore they are not reported as segments.

Fiberglass Segment

The fiberglass manufacturing operation, Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. was acquired during the year ended February 2004 and provided net sales of $166,096 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 as compared to $381,862 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005.

Gross profit from Chariot was $20,004 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 as compared to $61,983 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005 providing a gross profit margin of 12% and 16%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit and the related gross profit margin was due to closing down the production while new molds were produced and to preparing for the next marketing event. General production resumed in May 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $287,303 for 2006 and $347,124 for 2005. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to temporarily closing the plant to produce new models.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, the Company used net cash for operating activities of $238,610 and $548,909, respectively. Overall, the net loss decreased from the prior year. This decrease in cash used by operating activities is primarily due to more tightly managed profitability of sales.

During the years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, the Company (used) provided funds for investing activities of ($107,415) and $32,478, respectively. This decrease in cash from investing activities is mainly due to the increase in notes receivable and the purchase of property and equipment.

During the years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $300,651 and $500,574, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities is due to a decrease in the cash received from the exercise of stock options and warrants and the decrease in the issuance of common stock for cash.

Cash flows from financing activities provided for working capital needs and principal payments on long-term debt through fiscal 2006. As of February 28, 2006, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,566,762. To the extent that the cash flows from financing activities are insufficient to finance the Company’s anticipated growth, or its other liquidity and capital requirements during the next twelve months, the Company will seek additional financing from alternative sources including bank loans or other bank financing arrangements, other debt financing, the sale of equity securities (including those issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding warrants and options), or other financing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available and, if available, that it will be available on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company.

SEASONALITY

The diversity of operations in the manufacturing segment protects it from seasonal trends except in the sales of agricultural processing where the majority of the revenue is generated while the processors await the next harvest.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimate on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.

We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is determined based on net realizable value. We write down inventory balances for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

We value our property and equipment at cost. Amortization and depreciation are calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Fair value estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date. See consolidated financial statements footnote 13.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires, among other things, that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, be measured at their grant-date fair value and expensed in the consolidated financial statements. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123R are effective at the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005; therefore, the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended 2007. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. In addition, it carries forward without change to the guidance contained in APB Opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle in most circumstances. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company plans to prospectively adopt SFAS No. 154 at the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination (“EITF 05-06”). EITF 05-06 concludes that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are in service significantly after, and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term, should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of inception. As of February 28, 2006 this pronouncement had no impact on the financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Bartow, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company incurred a net loss of $922,351 during the year ended February 28, 2006 and has an accumulated deficit of $15,764,302 and negative working capital of $1,566,762 at February 28, 2006. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of February 28, 2006 and for the

Years Ended February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2005

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in Rhode Island in 1991 under the name Jaque Dubois, Inc., and was re-incorporated in Delaware in 1994. In July 1995, Jaque Dubois, Inc. changed its name to JD American Workwear, Inc. In December 2000, the stockholders voted at the annual stockholders meeting to change the name of JD American Workwear, Inc. to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”).

The Company is primarily a holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries; International Machine and Welding, Inc. is engaged in the machining and fabrication of parts used in industry, and parts sales and service for heavy construction equipment; Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc., which was acquired on October 11, 2003 from a related party, manufactures motorcycle trailers with fiberglass bodies.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and has used approximately $238,610 of cash in operations for the year ended February 28, 2006. The Company recorded losses from continuing operations of $922,351 and $1,278,889 for the years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Current liabilities exceed current assets by $1,566,762 at February 28, 2006. Additionally, the Company is in default on several notes payable. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to reverse negative operating trends, raise additional capital, and obtain debt financing.

Management has revised its business strategy to include expansion into other lines of business through the acquisition of other companies in exchange for the Company’s stock to facilitate manufacturing contracts under negotiation. In conjunction with the anticipated new contracts, management is currently negotiating new debt and equity financing, the proceeds from which would be used to settle outstanding debts at more favorable terms, to finance operations, and to complete additional business acquisitions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed are:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable consist of billed services or products. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,184 is considered adequate at February 28, 2006. Receivables are determined to be past due based on payment terms of original invoices. The Company does not charge significant amounts of interest on past due receivables. There were no receivables on non-accrual of interest status at February 28, 2006.

The Company follows SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” to account for its factoring of accounts receivable by selling and assigning all rights, title, and interest to certain of the Company’s accounts receivable. The Company receives 80% of all approved invoices sold to the Factoring Company, which assumes the credit risk. Based on the Factoring Company’s collections of these invoices the Company may receive additional consideration of up to 18%. The Company records the 80% as payment against the invoices sold and records 18% as an amount due from Factoring Company. Once the invoice exceeds 120 days outstanding, the remaining 18% of the receivable is recorded as expense.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value.

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense are calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods of accounting over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:


Building and improvements		15 - 39 years
Machine and equipment		5 - 30 years
Office furniture and equipment		5 - 10 years
Trucks and vehicles		5 - 7 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Acquired identifiable intangible assets with a cost of approximately $190,000 consist of values assigned to brand recognition, customer list and web site of Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. These intangibles are amortized on a straight-line method over 5 years. During the year ended February 28, 2006, approximately $38,000 was recognized as amortization expense related to these identifiable intangible assets.

Direct costs incurred with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and amortized over the life of the guaranty. As of February 28, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred amortization expense of $81,447 and $108,593, respectively.

The Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs as sales revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are included in cost of sales.

Sales are recorded when products, repairs, or parts are delivered to the customer. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns, allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. No products or parts are delivered with any contingencies except for defects.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, to be held and used or disposed of. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the carrying values of long-lived assets are periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments would be recognized if the expected future operating non-discounted cash flows derived from an asset were less than its carrying value and if the carrying value is more than the fair value of the asset. At February 28, 2006, the Company did not have any asset that it considered impaired.

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123) SFAS No. 123 provides that expense equal to the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant be recognized over the vesting period. Alternatively, this statement allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB Opinion No. 25), whereby compensation expense is recorded on the date the options are granted to employees equal to the excess of the market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma disclosure of the provisions of SFAS No. 123.

At February 28, 2006, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, all of which have been approved by the shareholders. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related

Interpretations. The Company recognized $21,000 and $45,600 for the year February 28, 2006 and 2005, respectively, in stock-based employee compensation cost which is reflected in net loss. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock-based employee compensation.


	Years Ended
	February 28, 2006			February 28, 2005
Net loss, as reported	$	(922,351	)	$	(1,278,889	)
Deduct: Additional stock based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based methods for all awards, net of taxes		(0	)		(0	)

Pro forma net loss	$	(922,351	)	$	(1,278,889	)

Net loss per share:
As reported	$	(.00	)	$	(.01	)
Pro forma	$	(.00	)	$	(.01	)

In determining the pro forma amounts above, the value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model with the following weighted average assumptions:


	2006	2005
Dividend rate of	0%	0%
Risk-free interest rate	2.5% - 3.33%	1.98%
Expected lives	exercised immediately	exercised immediately
Expected price volatility	146.4% - 177%	156%

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each fiscal year. Common stock equivalents are not considered in loss years because they are anti-dilutive. For the years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, 362,500 common stock options were not considered in calculating diluted loss per share as effects would be anti-dilutive.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities and approximates the carrying amounts of the notes.

The Company records stock as issued at the time consideration is received or the obligation is incurred.

13. INCOME TAXES

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception and, therefore, no tax liabilities have been incurred for the periods presented. The amount of unused tax losses available to carry forward and apply against taxable income in future years totaled approximately $18,799,700. The loss carry forwards expire beginning in 2007. Due to the Company’s continued losses, management has established a valuation allowance equal to the amount of deferred tax asset because it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize this benefit.

Temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax asset are as follows:


Unused operating loss carry forward	$	6,692,900
Excess depreciation for tax purposes over the amount for financial reporting purposes		(1,026,500	)
Other		3,700

		5,670,100
Valuation allowance		(5,670,100	)

	$	0

The valuation allowance increased by $584,000 during the year ended February 28, 2006. Differences between the federal benefit computed at a statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate and provision are as follows for the years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005:


	2006			2005
Statutory benefit	$	(313,600	)	$	(435,000	)
State tax benefit, net of federal effect		(32,100	)		(45,000	)
Non-deductible expenses		60,600			25,300
Increase in deferred income tax valuation allowance		285,100			454,700
