THE NATURAL DISASTER SITUATION ACROSS THE USA:

Hurricanes, Tornados and other natural disasters across the USA have recently destroyed much of the local housing areas in various States and due to the high cost of home ownership and rebuilding existing homes, it makes it difficult for many local residents to rebuild their existing property or build a new home.

Governor Bentley and the Alabama insurance commissioner are also looking at our products as an option to save lives. Feel free to contact both Alabama's Governor and Birmingham's Mayor as they can vouch for the viability of PowerBoard™ and the POWERCONCRETE™ building system. Our CEO recently attended the June 13 Safer Alabama Summit in Tuscaloosa, where FEMA's top official in Alabama, Michael Byrne, said he'd like to see tornado safe rooms become a standard part of any construction project in the state. He and other speakers all expressed the need for structures capable of withstanding hurricane or F-5 force winds in excess of 200 miles an hour.

POWERCONCRETE™ is the answer!

Leading insurers such as State Farm, Allstate and Farmer's Insurance have lost billions of dollars in claims due to the deadly tornadoes. Communities across the country from Alabama to Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri and even Massachusetts have been affected by loss of life and property in the deadliest series of tornadoes in recent memory. We want to offer POWERCONCRETE™ and our products as a solution to help save States from potentially billions of dollars in damages from future disasters. The building system manufactured by POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. remains sturdy and water, mold and termite resistant, and as we mentioned earlier, flame-resistant even at 1,200 up to 1,800 degrees. The company's PowerBoard™ will not break under extreme conditions.

To demonstrate these facts, our CEO, Steve Schurmann made a live demonstration of the company's products in late May to a fire marshals meeting of the Cahaba Valley Fire & Rescue Service in a Birmingham. No one would know more about fires and fire safety than professional firefighters, and the ability of a product like POWERCONCRETE™ to withstand heat or water pressure. Fire Marshall Sam Johnson and Capt. John Ray, witnessed by six firefighters and one police officer, did their best to seek to burn through PowerBoard in a live test. Powerboard can not only withstand exposure to direct flames, but the fire will not alter its structural integrity and the product has been given a fire rating for up to four hours.

It dose not require expensive sheathing or toxic chemicals treatment to achieve this rating. But there's more to the safety angle. High winds are no problem for the PowerConcrete & PowerBoard Building System, which is able to withstand hurricane-force winds up to 250 miles per hour.

The system is also capable of standing up against a third challenge - potential flooding. Often after a disaster even if a house or building remains erect, the gypsum board, wood framing and other wood components succumb to water. They rot, mildew, or grow mold and must be discarded. Unlike wood, the POWERCONCRETE™ system will not rot, nor attract termites and other pests, is resistant to mold and fungus, and free of dangerous asbestos materials. Even after three weeks of soaking in water, the recent test verified by the Cahaba Valley Fire and Rescue District demonstrated that the PowerBoard & PowerConcrete Building System does not become brittle or water-logged. Firefighters are not just the only believers, as 150 representatives of the construction industry witnessed the durability of our products during a May 9 presentation to the Associated General Contractors Birmingham chapter.

OUR MISSION:

POWERCONCRETE™ Building Technologies Inc. mission is to establish community funded home manufacturing plants in various jurisdictions around the Nation to build truly low cost, affordable homes and emergency shelters for all low cost housing needs.

QUESTION:

WHAT IF WE COULD BUILD SUPERIOR CONCRETE STRUCTURES ALLOWING COMMUNITIES & HOME OWNERS ACROSS THE USA TO SAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CLAIMS CAUSED BY NATURAL DISASTERS?

THE ANSWER IS: POWERCONCRETE™

AFTER BEING SUBJECTED TO 3 WEEKS UNDER WATER & 1,200 TO 1,800 DEGREES OF OPEN FIRE, EVEN THE FIRE MARSHALS OF CAHABA VALLEY COULD NOT DESTROY THE POWERCONCRETE™AND POWERBOARD™ BUILDING SYSTEM.

HOW IS THIS ACHIEVED?

POWERCONCRETE™ is 20 times stronger than a wood framed wall. That’s why 3,000 PSI reinforced concrete wall withstands fire, water, hurricanes, tornados, and even bullets!

POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. invites Corporate America to join us in our rebuilding efforts of the various communities. Each POWERCONCRETE™ Plant will be established into the cities and surrounding areas, which have been affected by the recent natural disasters. A standard POWERCONCRETE™ Plant has an annual production capacity of SEVEN POINT TWO MILLION (7,200,000 sq. ft.) of wall panels, which can easily be increased, should local demand require doing so.

THE SOCIAL INVENTION: COMMUNITY FUNDED HOME MANUFACTURING PLANTS

POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. has created a powerful community-managed home development program for co- owned factorys managed by our Group. Community Champions would pay a monthly membership fee starting and these funds go into our community development trust program for each particular jurisdiction and planned factory establishment.

At the same time POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. offers each member a part ownership in each factory through the annual membership program, with the direct benefit of getting 49% profit share from each community funded factory.

POWERCONCRETE™ works closely with private individuals and the corporate world allowing them to get involved by becoming Community Champion Co-Sponsors for POWERCONCRETE™ home manufacturing plants. The factories can build not only affordable homes, but also schools, kindergartens, hospitals and provide next to home ownership micro financing and Interest Free Programs.

GIVE a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

This saying illustrates the truth that simply filling an immediate physical need may be of limited value. It is even better to help people learn how to solve problems and address their own needs. Many people need to be taught life skills or even an altogether different outlook on and approach to life. By establishing community-owned and community financed home manufacturing plants, 21st Equity Homes is supporting the need of solving the shortage of affordable homes with a long term vision.

WHAT IS THE PRODUCTION CAPACITY PER PLANT?

MEDIUM SIZED PLANT:

The Production Capacity of a medium sized manufacturing plant is 2,400,000 up to 7,200,000 sq. ft. of PowerBoard per year based on 50 working weeks.

MEGA PLANT:

The Production Capacity of a Mega factory is 25,000,000 sq. ft. of PowerBoard per year based on 50 working weeks.

THE STRUCTURE OF EACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST

Each Community Development Trust is structured under a COOPERATIVE as division of POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. 49% of the profits are distributed to the COOP members or must be used for the further benefit of the local community. The membership of the COOP is drawn from a geographically-defined area; for example crisis zones, which have been damaged by hurricanes or other natural disasters, or simply areas where there is a strong demand for low cost, affordable housing units. Members may be both individuals and corporations in the area.

The board of the COOP is made up of representatives from the public, voluntary/community and private sectors; these (along with individuals and additional founder if appropriate) may be elected from voting sections of the membership.

The board is the policy-making body, and is unpaid; paid staff may be employed to carry out the day-to-day operations of the COOP. POWERCONCRETE™ may set up subsidiary organizations to further its objectives, for example trading companies whose profits are given back to the COOP.

THE MUNICIPALITY PAYMENT PROGRAM

To support local State Governments and their citizens in need, POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. has created a straight forward Municipality Payment Program, which allows the local State Government to pay with Government Bonds for any of their public low cost housing projects and/or any other structures such as the building of schools, kindergartens, hospitals and/or affordable housing for Army & Military Personnel.

By accepting Government Bonds as form of payment, we help the local authorities to build their planned community and social housing projects faster without any out-of-pocket expenses.

THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM 

The board of trustees of POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. in partnership with 21st Equity Homes Manufacturing Inc. offers the establishment of Community Development Cooperatives to build low cost and truly affordable homes nationwide including the establishment of various manufacturing plants under the companies POWERCONCRETE™ brand.

These products are tailored towards the affordable housing market providing low cost homes and apartment units for the Next Generation of home buyers such as young families and low income groups. This will help to improve the social and economic development of many communities and improve its living conditions especially for low income groups by increasing social and affordable housing.

Community members will enjoy energy savings of 30% to 40% when purchasing a new POWERCONCRETE™ Home utilizing the companies revolutionary technologies. The Company has developed its business model and strategic plan over the course of the last two years as the need for Affordable Homes combined with a possible Interest Free Program for low to mid-market property target groups became apparent.

Why Affordable Housing?

Because affordable housing is a growing problem across the Nation and across the World!

The lack of affordable housing is a growing challenge experienced by many communities, and the problem is continuing to escalate. Evidence of this is found in:

1.	Growing waiting lists for subsidized rental housing
2.	Record low vacancy rates in many communities
3.	Rapidly escalating costs in ownership housing
4.	Increases in homelessness as shown by drastic increases in the number of people living on the streets in a number of urban centers

The importance of high quality, safe, stable and affordable housing is becoming apparent to increasing numbers of agencies in society. For example, police forces, educators, social service providers and health workers are realizing there is a direct correlation between the quality and availability of appropriate housing in a community and the well-being and functional capacity of that community.

This problem is fueled by a number of factors, including: dramatic cuts in funding for social housing by senior orders of government; the inactivity of the private sector in constructing new rental housing; and the significant decline in traditional affordable housing alternatives. High growth areas worldwide are experiencing particular difficulty meeting the demands for affordable housing in their community.

On a social & economic level

High housing costs hinder economic development: residents spending too high a proportion of their income on housing have less money to spend on other goods and services, resulting in significant loss of revenue to local business; high ownership costs and lack of rental accommodation mean than many people who want to buy or rent cannot, potentially creating a less stable work force; housing that is too expensive for average-income households makes it difficult to attract and recruit qualified workers; labor shortages can mean higher construction costs; high housing costs may deter businesses from establishing or locating in the region; and people, including children who grow up in a community, who want to find housing they can afford or improve their housing conditions may have to move away.

High housing costs impact health care and social service costs, already a significant portion of provincial and federal budgets. Yet without adequate housing it is difficult for an individual to maintain health, to access health services or be able to make use of available services. Interventions required for those who do not have adequate housing are generally some of the most expensive in our social welfare system (e.g., health care, income subsidy, and the justice system). The provision of safe, stable housing can reduce many of these costs.

The Affordable Housing Program:

The market opportunity for affordable Housing Programs is from various key groups:

1.	Renters who currently pay rent equal to mortgage payments if they were to purchase an affordable home.
2.	Families who currently own a substandard home (home with major structural defects, insufficient size for household, home in unacceptable location, e.g., distance from employment, deteriorating or blighted neighborhood).
3.	Next Generation Families/Single Households who just start with their first home and cant afford to pay high prices as offered on the local market.
4.	Army Personnel who needs a long term financing program for their affordable homes, whereby our Group would be holding the title in escrow until final payment is made.
5.	Disaster Victims who need a quick and affordable housing solution to enable them to overcome the crisis under proper living conditions.
6.	Unions, Churches as well as Universities and their Members who need a long term affordable housing solutions including financing packages.

There is a substantial market opportunity for POWERCONCRETE™ Homes in identifying prospects from these groups and providing assistance in securing financing through conventional bank loans and through POWERCONCRETE™ Interest Free Loan Program.

The board of trustees is confident that innovative programs such as the Interest Free Purchase Program will greatly enhance the prospects of these individuals to purchase affordable homes. The universe of potential trade-up buyers represents and even larger potential than selling to renters. The market potential could be twice as large.

To date, affordable housing initiatives have had limited success because homebuilders and developers do not perceive that the market contains profitable opportunities and there has been a lack of top-level coordination of Government housing policies, programs, and resources. With demographic change driven increases in potential demand, a dwindling supply of existing houses, particularly in urban areas, and limited competition, the affordable housing niche appears to represent an excellent opportunity.

To exploit the opportunity POWERCONCRETE™ Inc. and 21st Equity Homes will combine efficient manufacturing and construction processes with an outreach program to identify buyers and provides a full range of real estate and special credit services for prospective home buyers.

Key components of these programs are communicating to potential buyers that affordable housing can be purchased at a monthly rate equal to, and sometimes lower, than what they are currently paying in rent and assisting those buyers in securing down payment money and mortgage commitments.

The companies planned initiatives that could expand or facilitate access to the market are:

1.	Streamlining and publicizing methods to obtain vacant and abandoned lots for use by potential buyers in order to provide housing that is affordable for low to moderate income families
2.	Development of mortgage finance products for first-time homebuyers with impaired credit or no credit history
3.	Real estate tax relief for an initial period (i.e., the first five years) to first-time home buyers
4.	Implementation of tax-exempt land trusts for first-time home buyers who plan future home development

In order to capture this trade-up market, amenities such as building sites available in desired neighborhoods, good floor plans, quality construction and a simplified purchase process will be required.

Note that demand for affordable housing worldwide is expected to outpace population trends as the primary groups served, e.g., new generation of home buyers are growing faster than the population in general.
