ABCO ENERGY ANNOUNCES ANOTHER EARLY PAYMENT OF CONVERTIBLE NOTE

Posted: September 17 2019

ABCO Energy, Inc (OTCQB “ABCE”) Tucson, Arizona (September 17, 2019) – ABCO Energy has raised funds and retired a second convertible debt held by Power Up Lending Group, Inc prior to the time the conversion right became exercisable [“Conversion Right”] and was able to prevent imminent dilution upon conversion. It is the Company’s intent to try continue to retire the convertible notes prior to when the Conversion Right becomes exercisable where it is possible to do so. This is our second such retirement in the last two months.

ABCO has successfully arranged a line of credit for funding our construction project materials costs for large commercial projects accepted by the lender. This line of credit has already helped us overcome a number of cash shortages that required debenture funding in the past. The Company has a backlog of over $1,000,000 of commercial projects we are trying to complete before this year end.

ABCO Energy has traded on the OTCQB for over six months and has struggled to continue to fund its growth. We are now beginning to stage our Company for growth internally by utilizing, when available, our equity line of credit to sell publically registered shares of common stock, by private non-convertible note offerings and through acquisitions financed internally and through third party sources and we are hopeful that the successful implementation of these tools will be reflected in our share price .

“We are very proud of the accomplishments of the ABCO team and our consultants over the last two years and feel confident we will continue to do well for our shareholders in the very near future” said Charles O’Dowd, President, “and we are thankful to our shareholders for all of their assistance in reaching these accomplishments”.

Cost of sales increased by $888,746, or 77% to $2,040,339 in 2018 from $1,151,593 in 2017 due primarily to the increase in sales. However, the important part of the report shows that the Company achieved a gross margin of 29% as a percentage of total sales in 2018, up from 20% in 2017, primarily due to better management of costs and the focus on commercial projects in 2018.
