INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
Las Vegas, Nevada, August 11, 2001 - Composite Industries of America Inc. (OTC BB: CIAI) is an undervalued stock that will see momentum in the near-term. The Company is an innovator in the business of affordable housing, with an international marketing agenda that in recent months has negotiated multi-year building projects for hundreds of thousands of housing units in developing countries. Finalization of agreements in progress for multi-year, large-scale construction projects will result in revenues exceeding $100 million annually (and as the industry sees a quickening pace for negotiation requests). CIAI should prove interesting to watch, as powerful new dynamics at work in the world today electrify global priorities, policies, and procedures-and expand the Company's "niche" market exponentially. In summary they are: · Economic policy trend in developing nations for outsourcing of industry, reinforced by current political and economic theory and now a priority mandate of the World Bank. · New World Bank mandate that environmental considerations must be fully mainstreamed into all bank activities. · The global 'revolution' toward ecological sustainability, conservation of natural resources, energy efficiency, and broad acceptance of its economic advantage.
THE COMPANY
CIAI builds structurally superior housing at a fraction of the cost of traditional home construction-the safest, most indestructible, most energy efficient housing on the market today. Their patented building product Z MIX is a cementitious product made from readily available natural earth ingredients (bentonite and diatomaceous earth) and recyclable materials (used/discarded tires, a significant global environmental hazard) that is lighter than cement, has 20 to 30 times the thermal resistance, and a load-bearing strength 2 to 3 times the required engineering standards. It has been certified as earthquake resistant in all four seismic regions of the world and certified to withstand hurricane winds to 150 mph, and resists common plagues such as rot, mold, bugs, etc. Revolutionary new building techniques developed by the Company combine pre-calculated engineering with framing techniques, that result in stronger structural frames without the use of timber, and can be built by local unskilled labor. World Homes housing promotes efficient natural resource use and superior energy efficiency, as well as esthetic value.
WORLD BANK MANDATES-ECONOMIC & ENVIRONMENTAL
This year, the World Bank endorsed a new environmental strategy-essentially an overall bank mandate, that environmental concerns must be fully 'mainstreamed' into all bank activities. The emphasis is on the priorities of developing nations, with one of three stated objectives the promotion of sustainable private development (through sustainable environmental management). Nations reliant on WB funds must quantify tangible progress in the specified areas of sustainable development and poverty reduction, or risk the withholding of World Bank funds (a portfolio of $18 million). Simultaneously, World Bank Economic Policy for developing countries mandates the liberalization of trade and foreign investment-intended to foster greater integration into the global economy. Increasingly, governments reliant on World Bank funds (such as Russia, India, African Nations, and many more) are seeking to contract with reliable outside sources for complete management of their development efforts. World Homes, Inc. has foreseen these trends, and has positioned itself to respond quickly. The Company is increasingly finding itself approached for proposed projects, alliances, joint ventures.
MARKETING STRATEGY
The Company's current focus for development and construction of its World Home is the global market, with emphasis on developing nations. The Company is primarily seeking joint ventures and alliances, a strategy of particular advantage in the developing world. Firm collaborations and joint ventures are increasingly altering the landscape of international business, and in developing economies it has become accepted as the only viable method in developmental efforts to "catch up" with the industrialized world. Developing countries increasingly seek alliances with firms from industrialized countries for management of development projects-a trend that has accelerated over the last decade. World financial and political institutions, as well economists and business leaders-have come to accept that "catching up" can not progress by any other means (the failure of economic isolationism exaggerated in our era by the disintegration of the Soviet Union). CIAI is seeking joint ventures and alliances in the developing world, where the elevation of 'living standards' without environmental degradation is not a viable option-and where the demand for affordable, quality housing is a very basic need. (The Company's secondary focus/concurrent marketing strategy, is in licensing its proprietary technology-a potentially huge market.)
