APC Group, Inc. Begins Trading
Alaskan Businessman Takes Company From Obscurity to the Public Markets
FAIRBANKS, AK--(Marketwire - August 27, 2008) - On August 12, 2008, shares of APC Group, Inc.

Ken Forster, founder, CEO and President of APC Group, moved from Spain to Fairbanks in 2000 with $40 in his pocket. He first lived in a local mission and performed talk radio for Clear Channel stations. He later became a weather forecaster for the local CBS and Fox affiliates. In 2003, he developed his business model for manufacturing and distributing watertight cord reels. Forster overcame significant personal odds in building APC Group and bringing his dream to reality.
"Watching APCU shares trading is truly a dream come true; it's the epitome of the American dream," said Forster. "Making a public market for our shares will hopefully provide early investors who believed in our company from the beginning the benefit of increasing stock value, and that's very gratifying. And at the end of the day, it was people who made this milestone possible; not banks, not politicians, but people who believed in us and what we were doing."
