Facilities: The Company operates out of a well-maintained 10,000 square foot facility in an Industrial Park. The Offering Memorandum describes the building in detail. An appraisal is available dated May 2007. The production equipment is listed in the OM. Per the Seller 1) the equipment is well-maintained. Within the last year - two many pieces have been replaced according to the Seller s habit of orderly programmed upgrade of productive assets. No significant capitalizable equipment expenditures nor annual tool expenditures are necessary

Competition: The Seller believes the custom case market is as good as it s been since 1985 when he purchased the company and in fact is less competitive. There is a return to custom leather and leatherette cases to present and protect quality products and a turning away from utilizing plastic. Many old-line custom case makers have shut their doors. New customers report they are not finding many supplier alternatives. The Seller finds the fierce competition among plastic case manufacturers does not materially impact the custom case market.

Growth/Expansion: The Seller is strongly confident that a new owner can grow the company markedly if they wanted to accept the manage issues and challenges that come with fast growth. The Seller has consciously elected not to undertake these issues and challenges, and has grown the Company at a rate which has pleased and satisfied him. The OM sets forth specific activities which can be implemented and Kris Kavelaris the Broker can, based on his operating / consulting experience review and analyze these with the buyer.

Seller Financing Available: Yes

Financing: Seller will consider holding 10% of ask price
