ANTIQUE "REPLICARS"
Nostalgic replica automobiles (commonly referred to as Hot Rods) are provided
at completion levels to a range of customers from the hobbyist who wants to
build his own car to the enthusiast who wants to buy a complete automobile ready
to drive away. These cars are offered in a number of packages configured to
serve every segment of the market:
Phase 1: These parts packages include all of the major body components. The
customer will build the car from the ground up. This customer is normally a
serious hobbyist with tools, equipment or and the required skills.
Phase 2: These parts packages include all components required, less the engine
and the interior. This includes the frame, suspension, breaks, body, steering,
wheels, etc. This customer is the hobbyist who wants to build a car and has
the space, some equipment, but wants all of the components (already fitted)
and complete.
Phase 3: This level is for the enthusiast who does not have the place, time,
equipment, or skills to build an automobile. Building the cars at various stages
will reduce a major part of the dealer's time. The Company will support the
dealers with cars (nick-named rollers). These "rollers" will be assembled
based on various stages of work with easy step-by-step processes to complete.
By building the cars in these stages, it will allow the final car to be completed
with a minimum of effort.

The Company will compete worldwide with a variety of manufacturers of wood,
plastic, concrete and fiberglass products, including many large industrial corporations
with resources significantly greater than those of the Company.
The Company competes with new fiberglass products based upon price. New fiberglass
products are manufactured with new resins and new glass fibers, which add raw
material costs to the wholesale price of the product. Manufacturing of the Company's
product does not incur the same raw materials costs and, therefore, to the extent
the Company utilizes recyclable resins and fiberglass wastes, the Company's
products may have a sales price advantage. There are a number of businesses
that make or could make fiberglass tables and benches. In general, these businesses
must purchase raw materials to manufacture their products and therefore have
higher costs of goods sold.
Like other fiberglass products, the Company's products are typically sold at
a price higher than similar wood products; however, like other fiberglass products,
the Company's products have strong resistance to moisture, dry rot and surface
damage. The Amour products also present features of higher strength and durability.
The Company believes these long-term benefits off-set the higher price of the
product. The Company's products are similar in cost to new and recycled plastic
products. The advantages that the Company's products have over plastic products
are higher modulus of rupture and elasticity, higher compression allowance,
higher density and better structural integrity.
The Company believes its products provide an overall better value for the customer
when compared to its competition, because of exceptional features such as selling
kits that allow for lower cost entry into the hobby. Even though the feature
benefits may be compelling, ALP products will remain competitively priced. The
Company does not anticipate erosion in margin due to competition. The leisure
market is expanding rapidly and maintenance of market share will ensure growth.
Most of the competitors in this market offer a cost effective, reliable product
that will meet or exceed the functional application requirements.
The distinguishing advantages for ALP are a competitive price point, a superior
product, ongoing product evaluation, and quality control and support. A complete
technical comparison is available which gives ALP an advantage over its competitors
by providing a greater perceived value to the Customer.
