EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Power Technology Unlimited (PTU) of Fresno, California is soliciting bids for the sale of its unique three-wheel patented technology which revolutionizes conventional agricultural, construction and moving equipment. We have completed the business plan detailing all aspects involving the sale of this equipment line.

All PTU product lines and products combine the three-wheel concept and the ease of gas-motorized or electric power technology.

The PowerBarrow product line consists of a motorized wheelbarrow in different tub sizes; a flatbed for hauling heavy loads (patented as motorized wheelbarrow under US patent number 5,878,827 issued March 9, 1999); a non-industrial size powered cement mixer (patented under US patent number 5,868,494 issued February 9, 1999); a non-industrial size powered auger (patent pending); and three motorized and non-motorized handcarts incorporating three-wheel technology (patents pending). Except for the handcarts, the individual PowerBarrow products employ attachments on the same motorized base.

All of these products have both retail and commercial application for such industries as construction, landscape and maintenance, farming, ranching, forestry, etc. In addition, a unique farming product called the Berry-Bud (patent pending; Model 600 on accompanying photo) has been developed as an attachment for the PowerBarrow product and has primary use in berry farming. The Berry-Bud's unique design furrows, sprays, and overlays plastic sheets across rows of berry plants. The rear attachment can be used as a plow with the PowerTrakker equipment line.

Complementing the PowerBarrow line is a newly developed line of equipment called the PowerTrakker 7000 (patent pending). The PowerTrakker has a more heavy-duty construction designed for commercial application. The equipment in this line offers a three-wheel drive propulsion with tracks; a wide and low center of gravity to navigate slopes easily; extremely safe operation which avoids the dangers of ride-on machines and has a built in mechanism that automatically brakes when the driver releases it; a state-of-the-art hydraulic system making the products extremely durable and virtually maintenance free; and easy operation with the use of joystick lever controls. Attachments transform the PowerTrakker into a wooden flatbed, a contoured flat bucket, a snow blower, a log splitter, a chipper-shredder, an auger, a high-weed mower, and a scraper-dozer. Both the auger and the bucket can be combined with the chipper-shredder. A number of other attachments such as a cement or pipe cutter, chainsaw, etc. could feasibly be added depending on the manufacturer's needs.

All PowerBarrow and PowerTrakker products handle heavy, awkward loads on steep inclines and declines and on all types of terrain, from flats and hills to confined spaces and mud. Due to their built in safety features and ease of use, they also dramatically reduce operator injuries, back strain, workmen's compensation claims, lost labor time and rising insurance premiums.

The market for these products far exceeds traditional applications; nothing currently available in the market can compare in cost and the limitless applications due to the readily interchangeable attachments. Consequently, these innovations have the capability to generate explosive sales.

Prospective end-users include construction contractors and laborers in all building fields; labor unions; farmers and farm workers; ranchers; foresters and groundskeepers; branches of the Military; equipment rental companies; utility companies; warehouse workers particularly in food stores, appliance manufacturers and huge retail outlets who manipulate heavy boxes and equipment of all sizes; manufacturers of all kinds that similarly move around heavy equipment or inventory; courier companies such as Federal Express and UPS: and many others. Conventional product models rely on users' physical strength and agility. These innovative equipment lines will also open the door to new and larger groups of users such as women, the elderly and do-it-yourselfers.

PTU is seeking through this proposal to sell outright the full spectrum of its patented technologies and product lines to a manufacturer which also has or has access to sales overseas. We are in the process of evaluating various offers which include full rights to all patents, all products and manufacturing technology as well as rights to all domestic and international sales and distribution.

The Business Plan is available to interested parties by filling out the electronic information request form on the contact page.

The Business Plan includes an extensive Market Trends and Statistics section, incorporating endorsements from users in a variety of fields, as well as their professional opinions regarding the PowerBarrow's estimated price range.

For further reference, in addition to the US patent numbers noted previously, international patents have been issued for the following products under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) covering the European Union, Canada, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States: the motorized wheelbarrow PCT/US98/10072, the wheeled motorized mixer PCT/US98/20723, and the motorized auger PCT/US98/20577. International patents on the PowerTrakker have been applied for and will be retroactive to the US patent date.
