| Competition |
| The U.S. and international markets for custom curtain wall construction are cyclical and dependent on changes in general economic conditions. The curtain wall industry remains highly competitive with numerous contractors typically bidding on each available project. The Company encounters competition in the U.S. and abroad from Benson Industries, Inc., Cupples Products, Glassalum, Harmon Ltd., a subsidiary of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and other curtain wall contractors. The Company's primary competitors in Asia include: Far East Aluminum Works Co., Ltd., Nippon Light Metals Hong Kong Ltd., Builder's Federal Hong Kong Ltd., Permasteelisa Holdings Ltd., Tostem Hong Kong Ltd., YKK Hong Kong Ltd. and Josef Gartner & Co. Ltd. (Hong Kong). The Company regularly faces competitive bids from one or more of these competitors when bidding for custom curtain wall contracts. Some of the Company's competitors have greater financial resources than the Company. Although the level and nature of competition differs between markets and among products, the Company believes that it competes on the basis of cost, the quality of its design and workmanship, and on its reputation. The Company expects its markets to remain highly competitive. |
| Business Plan |
| The Company intends to build on its reputation as a world-wide leader in the custom curtain wall industry to support continued growth and increased profitability. The key elements of the Company's strategy to accomplish these goals are to: (i) selectively target high margin projects; (ii) maintain and develop key strategic relationships; (iii) exploit its full service, custom capabilities; (iv) enhance and exploit its position as a low cost manufacturer; and (v) capitalize on its global presence. |
| Use of Proceeds |
| The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for the acquisition of and capital expenditures at curtain wall fabrication facilities in the PRC, Mexico and the U.S. to increase the company's bonding facilities, and working capital and general corporate purposes. |
