If you are considering / evaluating the purchase of ARC shares (now that they are nice and low), remember that, when you purchase shares of ARC, you are, in essence, gaining ownership of all of these formerly independent companies, all for the current price of ARC.
The other day, I purchased a new mouse, and I decided to give it some “cut and paste” exercise. You’ll see, below, that I’ve put the company names in alphabetical order (at least, A-Z). For the most part, the company names in the first part of the list appeared in ARC’s last-filed 10-K Annual Report to the SEC. (The list does not include any acquisitions completed by ARC since December 31, 2010.) I’ve added some, from memory, that did not appear in the 10-K.
If I missed a few, excuse me. If anyone wants to add any missing companies to the list, e-mail me.

Advance Reprographics is not owned or operating under ARC flag. Just fyi.
ReplyDeleteBuying all these companies at under $ 4.00 per share sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThe $ 200 million dollar loan plus $ 50 million revolving credit,
With sales down 60% and a $ 89 million dollar loss last quarter
Scares me half to death. But what's the old saying ? The time to buy is when
there is blood in the streets. The side lines are looking comforting about now.
There is an "Advance Reprographics" listed in ARC's 10-K, so it does appear that ARC did, at some point, acquire a company by that name. And, it is possible that, at some point, there were two or more companies in the U.S. operating with that name.
