Competition
The Company has numerous competitors in the fenestration products market, at both the manufacturing and the distribution levels. Certain of the Company's principal competitors have substantially less leverage than the Company, have greater financial and other resources, and have greater brand recognition. Accordingly, such competitors may be better able to withstand changes in conditions within the industries in which the Company operates and have significantly greater operating and financial flexibility than the Company. As a result of the competitive environment in the markets in which the Company operates, the Company faces (and will continue to face) pressure on sales prices of its products from competitors, as well as from large customers. As a result of such pricing pressures, the Company may experience future reductions in the profit margins on its sales, or may be unable to pass future raw material price or labor cost increases on to its customers (which would also reduce profit margins). In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter increased competition in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

Business Plan
The Company's objective is to become the leading national manufacturer and distributor of a diversified line of fenestration products. By utilizing its extensive product mix, national marketing strategy, distribution strength and economies of scale, the Company will be able to continue to successfully differentiate itself from its smaller, less sophisticated competitors.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for future acquisitions and working capital and general corporate purposes.
