Petroleum Consolidators Issues Shareholder Update

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 28, 2009 -- Petroleum Consolidators of America, Inc. (Other OTC:PCAI.PK - News), a gasoline station/convenience store consolidator, is pleased to offer the following updates to our shareholders.

Over the past year we have achieved many milestones that we believe can add shareholder value to the company. As released on February 9, 2009, we unveiled our ambitious plan for calendar 2009, which included acquiring gasoline stations with convenience stores, forming an oil and gas exploration division and most importantly, becoming a wholesale fuel supplier.

To date, we have created an oil and gas exploration division to fully capitalize on the worldwide demand for energy, signed two letters of intent, one for a producing oil well and another for a gasoline station/convenience store and secured a ten million dollar equity line. The latter will enable us to aggressively pursue undervalued acquisition opportunities at bargain prices due to recent economic times. These targeted acquisitions should be cash accretive and meet our return on investment goals, which helps maximize shareholder value.

Additionally, Petroleum Consolidators President & CEO David Cohen stated: "Growth through acquisitions is key to our core business strategy; however, we will continue to take a prudent approach to new acquisitions in calendar 2009 and beyond, requiring that any acquisition offer a strong return on our investment and maximize shareholder value."

Moreover, Cohen stated: "From an operational perspective, we have completed a corporate restructuring that eliminated several management and administrative positions. This reorganization and strategic move will help us to reduce expenses in calendar 2009 and remain proactive in delivering the leverage we need with general and administrative expenses."
