and the accompanying Proxy Card are being furnished in connection with
the solicitation by the Board of Directors of American Claims
Evaluation, Inc. (the &lsquo;&lsquo;Company&rsquo;&rsquo;) of
proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the
&lsquo;&lsquo;Annual Meeting&rsquo;&rsquo;) to be held at 10:00
a.m. (New York time) on Tuesday, October  10,  2006 at the
offices of Hartman &amp; Craven LLP, 488 Madison Avenue, New York, New
York 10022 and at any adjournments thereof, with respect to the matters
referred to in the accompanying notice. This Proxy Statement and the
accompanying Proxy Card are first being mailed to shareholders on or
about September  8,  2006.</p>

common stock, par value $.01 per share
(&lsquo;&lsquo;Shares&rsquo;&rsquo;), is the Company&rsquo;s only
outstanding class of voting security. Holders of record at the close of
business on August  31,  2006 are entitled to notice of,
and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof. At the
close of business on August  31,  2006, there were issued
and outstanding 4,761,800 Shares, each entitled to cast one vote per
Share. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares
entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for
the transaction of business. The election of directors, as described in
the accompanying notice, requires the vote of a plurality of votes cast
at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will not be included in the vote
totals and, in instances where brokers are prohibited from exercising
discretionary authority for beneficial owners who have not returned a
proxy (&lsquo;&lsquo;broker non-votes&rsquo;&rsquo;), those votes
will not be included in the vote totals. Therefore, abstentions and
broker non-votes will be counted in the determination of a quorum and
will have no effect on the vote for the election of Directors.
<font style="font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;">Because of the percentage of beneficial ownership of Shares held by
directors and management, election of the directors nominated and
referred to in this Proxy Statement is
assured</font>.</p>

Secretary of the Company before the Annual Meeting a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date, or (3) attending the Annual Meeting, filing
a written notice of revocation with the secretary of the meeting and

percentages have been calculated by taking into account all Shares

which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at such

persons listed below have sole voting and sole investment power with

special circumstances or a change in the criteria for Board membership,
the incumbent directors who continue to be qualified for Board service
and are willing to continue as directors are renominated. If the Board
thinks it is in the best interest of the Company to nominate a new
individual for director in connection with an annual meeting of
shareholders, or if a vacancy occurs between annual shareholder
meetings, the Board will seek potential candidates for Board
appointments who meet criteria for selection as a nominee and have the
specific qualities or skills being sought. Director candidates will be
selected based on input from members of the Board, senior management of
the Company and, if deemed appropriate, a third-party search firm.</p>

exercise price, multiplied by the number of Shares issuable upon
exercise of the options. These values have not been, and may never be,
