| Competition |
| The market for the Company's products is highly competitive and the Company anticipates competition to continue to be intense in the foreseeable future. This competition is direct (i.e., companies that make similar products) and indirect (i.e., companies that participate in the sporting goods and accessories market, but are not direct competitors of the Company). The Company competes with major in-line skate manufacturers such as Rollerblade(R), Ultra Wheels(R) Sports, Roller Derby(R), Variflex(R), California Pro(R) and K2(R). Most of the Company's current and prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources, and broader name recognition than the Company.The Company intends to compete in the in-line skate market by offering a unique skate design that provides superior performance. The Company believes that Rollerball's enhanced capacity for acceleration, balance and maneuverability, will increase the fun of in-line skating while providing a more stable, body-friendly platform appealing to all skaters from the beginner to advanced. |
