1.0 Executive Summary
The scrap tire recycling industry has been around for many years, but uses for recycled scrap
tire rubber are in the initial stage, as less than 20% of scrap tires are processed.
Approximately 10% are incinerated, generally for power generation, although air quality
issues are always a concern as scrap tires, like coal, are dirty fuel. Approximately 4% of our
scrap tires are exported to other countries where the casings are used in retread plants or the
used tires are sold as is. Currently about 2% are processed into crumb rubber and used in
molded products and for modified rubberized asphalt applications, which provides a longer
lasting and more durable asphalt surface.
Stockpiles of scrap tires create health problems as they become breeding grounds for rodents,
snakes, and mosquitoes, and also are serious fire hazards.
EPM - Efficient Pallets Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. a Johor based company, is proud to
present its unique and patented product the SRT-PLT Pallet, a new pallet made from recycled
scrap tire rubber. The "SRT-PLT Pallet" is strong, durable and reusable, providing an
alternative to wooden pallets and the expense associated with replacing, repairing and
discarding wooden pallets. SRT-PLT Pallets might be serial numbered and bar-coded to
insure tracking and retrieval so that they can be used over and over again for many years.
OUR MISSION
To provide cost effective and durable pallets to all industries and manufacturing.
THE EXISTING PROBLEM
• Wood and plastic pallet life cycle is short and the cost is very high.
• Wood pallets break and need repair or replacement every one or two trips.
• Wood absorbs liquids, gains weight, breaks and splinters, and is difficult to clean.
• Industries demand more durable and long lasting pallets.
• Scrap tire stockpiles are an environmental hazard.
• Current pallets made of wood, are consuming over 3.5 million trees annually.
THE SOLUTION
• SRT-PLT pallets are less costly to buy and maintain.
• SRT-PLT pallets are more durable and indestructible.
• SRT-PLT pallets can support 15 times the load of a similar wooden pallet.
• SRT-PLT pallets are rack able, stackable, more durable and longer lasting.
• SRT-PLT pallets are unique, made from recycled scrap tire rubber using a newly patented
process that includes rubber, recycled plastics and a binder system.
• SRT-PLT pallets are guaranteed for years.
• SRT-PLT pallets have no competition worldwide.
TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS

• Environmental incentives to certain markets (Government sub-contractors).
• All licenses, permits, governmental agencies acquired and in support of project.
PALLET COST COMPARISON - OVER FIVE YEARS
• Use of SRT-PLT pallets demonstrates substantial savings, $22 for SRT-PLT pallet vs.
$133 for total cost for wooden pallet, over 5 years.
INVESTMENT REQUIRED AND USE OF FUNDS
• $6M investment for 35% ownership estimated to reach profitability within 12-18 months.
• From the second year forward, 50% of the net profit after tax will be distributed as
dividends to the shareholders (as long as it will not affect the planned expansion). The
other 50% will be dedicated to growth.
• Funds raised will be used for plant setup, operations, equipment, marketing and sales.
First year operation with two production lines is expected to produce 1,137,000 units, with a
projected net profit of over $8 million.
INVESTOR DISCUSSION
• Projections reflect the return of the original investment in less than two years.
• Approximately six times valuation, based on discounting of five years of net earnings to
present value.
• Present Value of five years of projected net earnings at a 25% discount (incl. risk factor)
is $98 million.
• Reaching less than 1% of the market share with five plants within five years.
• Projected revenue of approximately $402 million.
• Projected net profit (before taxes) of approximately $178 million.
• Management Team - Strong and professional with highly specialized consultants.
• Exit Strategy alternatives: (a) IPO after two years; (b) Acquisition; (c) Private ownership
with a long horizon of profits.

1.1 Mission
EPM is a manufacturing and marketing company dedicated to providing to all industries cost
effective and durable pallets made from recycled scrap tires. The manufacturing process and
the product are patent protected worldwide with no existing competition.
Pallet users, both manufacturers of commodities and industries that use pallets for their main
distribution, demand a more durable and longer lasting pallet to replace wooden pallets that
require constant repairing, replacing and discarding. From the normal usage it is known that a
wooden pallet gives service for only one to two trips before having to be repaired or replaced.
Because of the short life cycle of wood (and plastic) pallets, pallet users are forced to
purchase pallets more often.
Scrap tire stockpiles represent dangerous environmental hazards as they are breeding grounds
for mosquitoes, rodents, and snakes, and create potential hazards for fires, which are
extremely dangerous and expensive to extinguish.
EPM will reduce scrap tire stockpiles hazards and will help to conserve some of the 3.5
million trees harvested each year to manufacture wooden pallets. EPM will locate its
manufacturing plants in rural towns, near large metropolitan areas, where employment is
needed the most.
EPM will earn profits and provide excellent return to its investors while at the same time
financing an aggressive growth of the company to increase production each year. EPM will
also maintain a friendly, fair, and creative work environment, which respects diversity,
product improvement, and hard work.
1.2 Objectives
1. To establish two production lines at the first plant in Kota Tinggi, Johor in order to
produce 1.2 million pallets annually, with projected net income in excess of $8 million.
2. To expand production annually by opening a plant with two additional lines of production
each year for years two through five.
3. Achieve targeted market share of 0.15% in the first production year to 0.75% by the end
of year five.
4. First year projected market share of 0.15% is expected to bring net profits of $8 million
and 0.75% of the market share in year five is projected to bring net profits of $66 million.
Accumulated profits are projected to be $173 million for the first five years of production.
5. EPM will take advantage of the acute need for solutions to Malaysia's scrap tire problems,
and establish plants in different locations where scrap tires are abundantly available, while
taking advantage of benefits and subsidies offered by different State Government
programs for the remediation of scrap tires.
6. Develop foreign markets, through licensing agreements, especially in Europe and the Far
East, where similar acute problems of scrap tires exist.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103

1.3 Keys to Success
EPM will succeed for the following reasons:
• SRT-PLT pallets have the lowest life cycle costs compared to wooden or plastic pallets.
• SRT-PLT pallets are patent protected, are durable and virtually indestructible, and can
carry in excess of 15 times the load of wooden pallets.
• SRT-PLT pallets are guaranteed for years.
• Pallets are a well-known, necessary and established product; therefore there is no need to
penetrate the market with a totally new product. In fact, SRT-PLT pallets are not a new
product at all, but are far superior, durable and longer lasting than anything comparable in
the market place. The advertising and marketing costs will remain low as the SRT-PLT
pallets are introduced to pallet users through trade shows and conventions, with EPM's
sales representatives located in targeted marketing regions.

3.0 Marketing
EPM's product - the SRT-PLT pallet is a unique and revolutionary pallet made from a new,
patent protected, material of recycled scrap tires, a small amount of recycled plastic and a
bonding process. The function specifications of our pallets are identical to the existing
wooden pallets (e.g. sizes, four ways entry, upper deck coverage etc.) except that SRT-PLT
pallets are much more durable and longer lasting which makes penetration into the existing
markets less difficult. The patented process and product gives our SRT-PLT pallets the
following advantages over the existing pallets:
• SRT-PLT pallets are less costly to buy and maintain.
• SRT-PLT pallets are more durable and indestructible.
• SRT-PLT pallets carry 15 times the load of a similar wood pallet.
• SRT-PLT pallets are rack able, stackable, and longer lasting than wooden pallets.
• SRT-PLT pallets do not absorb liquids and are easy to clean.
• SRT-PLT pallets are guaranteed for years.
• SRT-PLT pallets have NO competition.
• SRT-PLT pallets are environmentally friendly and are, themselves, a recyclable product.
• SRT-PLT pallets are made of recycled scrap tire rubber material using a newly patented
process which includes rubber, recycled plastics, and a binder system.
3.1 Innovative Technology
Background
A major technological obstacle, which the recycled rubber market must overcome, is the
nature of the rubber itself. Rubber used in the manufacturing of tires is vulcanized (rubber +
sulfur) combined in the presence of heat and thermo set (formed into shape by steam and
pressure - also referred to as a "cured" product). To date, no technology has been able to de-
vulcanize rubber (break the carbon-sulfur bonds).
As such, thermo set rubber cannot chemically bond with any other polymer (rubber or plastic)
to a degree anywhere approaching the uncured rubber. If, however current research is able to
remove this obstacle, a very significant market will be opened.
Current usage
According to the Scrap Tire Management Council there were seven markets listed for
recycled scrap tire rubber. These markets without exception utilize crumb rubber with all of
the steel, wire, and textile removed, as an additive to rubber-modified asphalt (25%);
pneumatic tires (25%); athletic fields (20%); bound rubber products (15%); friction material
(5%); molded rubber products (5%); and molded rubber/plastic products (5%).
The new technology and the patent
Mr. Shah Sheikh has overcome the obstacle Mr. Shah's invention of this "unique new
material" through formulation and different particle sized recycled scrap tire rubber has
created a tough, durable, hard and rigid material from which SRT-PLT pallets are
manufactured.

3.2 Market Analysis Summary
Our first market will be a 500km radius area around Johor, Pahang, Melaka and Kuala
Lumpur in which the yearly consumption is 60 million pallets. Our markets for the SRT-PLT
pallets are all industries and users of pallets. About 300 interested users for our SRT-PLT
pallets (each of them buying over 100,000 pallets/year) were contacted.
• SRT-PLT pallets have the lowest life cycle cost compared to hard wood and plastic.
• Global Pallets leasing.
• Closed and open loop systems.
• Worldwide markets and licensing opportunities (Internationally patent protection filed).
The growth projection for the next five years is to add a new plant with two lines each year,
reaching production in excess of six million pallets by the fifth year.
3.3 Market Segmentation
Due to the fact that EPM's projected plan is to open a new plant each year over the next five
years, and to capture 0.15% to 0.75% of the Malaysia’s pallet market, our main growth
problem will be the limited abilities to supply the potential demand. Although we segmented
the market into six groups we cannot indicate the percentage of growth for each segment, as
the growth is not linear. The percentage represents our relative emphasis of this segment.

3.4 Target Market Segment Strategy
The following table demonstrates the cost savings that will be realized when a company
converts its wooden pallet inventory to SRT-PLT pallets.
Currently new hardwood pallets, (example: 40"x48", four-way entry, 80% top deck coverage)
are sold from $12 to $24 per pallet depending on the geographical area where you are
purchasing your pallets, and the always fluctuating cost of hardwood. For the purpose of this
chart we show the lowest price for large quantities of hardwood pallets at $10.
A pallet user of 100,000 new pallets per year will be saving over $3 million within 5 years
using our SRT-PLT pallets.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Total 5
year
Company A buys 100,000 pallets/year @$10.00 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $5,000,000
Company B buys 100,000 SRT-PLT pallets @$18.50
(One time purchase)
$1,850,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $1,850,000
TOTAL SAVINGS $3,150,000
The table demonstrates that big users will realize huge savings. For example, one poultry
processing plant that purchases one million pallets per year (about the production of one EPM
plant) will realize savings of over $31 million within five years which will encourage them to
convert their wooden pallet inventory to SRT-PLT pallets.
Big users, as mentioned above, might accelerate our growth plan even quicker. This is the reason
that strategically, our marketing efforts will concentrate towards the big users. Our marketing
effort will be directed also to all government agencies including the military. Contractors doing
business with the government should be using "environmentally preferable" products.

3.5 Industry Analysis
The pallet industry's computation of the cost of a pallet includes the costs of production,
maintenance and repairs, and discarding of the broken pallet. In the last decade, materials
other than wood were introduced to the pallet industry like plastic, metal and corrugated
cardboard, but still over 90% remain wood.
Most wooden pallets must be replaced or repaired after only one to two trips. It is estimated
that over 3.5 million trees are used each year for pallet production, and most of these pallets
end up in landfills, burned, or composted.
For years pallet users have been looking to build stronger and more durable pallets that would
last longer, but nothing has changed. Pallet manufacturers favor the ongoing replacement
prevalent in the industry.
EPM with its SRT-PLT pallet product will utilize Johor' scrap tires to manufacture pallets at
its first plant in Kota Tinggi, Johor. The SRT-PLT pallets will provide tough and durable
pallets to pallet users while helping clean up the scrap tire problem.
EPM's patented material and the manufacturing process to make pallets from scrap tires is the
ultimate solution to the problems presented above: a) stronger and more durable pallets; b)
reducing scrap tire stockpiles; c) saving trees. The use of SRT-PLT pallets provides an
excellent cost effective price, competitive to hardwood pallet prices.
Savings for a pallet user that purchases 100,000 pallets annually, when converting from wood
to SRT-PLT pallets. It shows savings over a five year period of more than $3 million. This
saving comes on top of other benefits of using the SRT-PLT pallets including: more durable
and indestructible, carries 15 times the load of wooden pallets, rack able and stackable, will
not absorb liquids (can be stored outside), and guaranteed for years.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103
14
3.5.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
There is NO direct competition to SRT-PLT pallets and no similar pallets exist today. The
"competition" comes from pallets made of other materials like wood and plastic. Pallet users
that use hardwood pallets do not use pallets made of corrugated cardboard. The table below
demonstrates the cost comparison among the different pallets:
PALLET COST COMPARISONS - OVER 5 YEARS
Pallet: Made of Unit Price Repair Cost/yr* Replace. u/p x 4 Recycle $1/yr Total Cost Average Cost
Hardwood 12 - 24 120* 48 - 96 5 185 - 245 215
Plastic 39 - 89 0 156 - 356 5 200 - 450 325
SRT-PLT 19 - 25 0 0 0 19 - 25 22
(*) Six repairs per year costing $4 each x 5 years.
The table clearly shows that costs over five years of the hardwood pallet is almost ten times
that of SRT-PLT pallets. In addition to the savings, there are other advantages such as the
guarantee, no need to repair, can be stored outside (no liquids are absorbed), washable
(important in the food industry), rack able and stackable, strong and indestructible. Bar-
coding and electronic chips can be molded into the pallet to allow for specific inventory
information regarding what is loaded on the pallet and for tracking.
There is no competition to SRT-PLT pallets. There is no competitor making pallets from
recycled rubber. EPM anticipates that our limited production will cause our five years
expansion plan to be revised in order to meet the demand. Our first plant is expected to
produce approximately 1.14 million pallets in the first year and 1.23 million from the second
year forward. While the market for pallets is in excess of 800 million annually, EPM expects
to capture about 0.15% of the market in the first year, and 0.75% after five years to meet our
projections. This takes a great part of the risk out of the project.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103

4.0 Operation, Strategy and Implementation
Due to the increased lifecycle and interchangeability of the SRT-PLT pallets with existing
wooden pallets, EPM's customers derive value from utilizing these innovative products in a
number of ways. First and foremost, using and replacing the user's wooden pallet inventory
with SRT-PLT pallets eliminates ongoing maintenance and replacement costs.
Another value is the longevity SRT-PLT pallets offer. SRT-PLT pallets have the longest life-
cycle regardless of hot, cold, or wet climates or in environments where maintenance is
difficult. SRT-PLT Pallets will not rot, which is a common problem for wooden pallets.
SRT-PLT pallets will help save hardwood forests currently used to manufacture wooden
pallets, reduce greenhouse gases, use significant amounts of waste plastics and scrap
tires from landfills and storage facilities, and reduce pallet users’ costs while increasing
profits.
4.1 Competitive Edge
EPM's most important competitive edge is based on the unique and patented material used to
manufacture the SRT-PLT pallets. The process, the unique material, and the use of the
material to manufacture pallets are protected by the issued utility patent that will prevent
duplication or "copycat" competition.
SRT-PLT pallets are manufactured from recycled scrap tires. Federal law and most State
Governments require agencies and contractors to purchase recycled products first, as
mandated by "buy recycled products first".
SRT-PLT pallets can be power washed or steam cleaned which is a critical factor in the food
industry, such as in poultry and meat processing plants, which must maintain sanitized
production areas. SRT-PLT pallets do not absorb liquids as wooden pallets and they can be
stored outside without occupying expensive indoor space.
The SRT-PLT pallets are a "triple green" product. They are manufactured from recycled
materials, and can be recycled in the event they ever wear out, and they will help conserve
our nation's forests while helping clean up Malaysia's scrap tire problems.
The SRT-PLT pallets will be the best cost/performance pallets in the market. The summary of
advantages that our pallets have in comparison to existing material pallets such as hardwood,
plastic, corrugated cardboard, and aluminum, are:
1. Much less cost to buy and maintain.
2. More durable and indestructible.
3. Carries 15x the load of a similar wood pallet.
4. The pallets are rack able and stackable.
5. Made of recycled material.
6. The pallet and the process are patent protected worldwide.
7. Guaranteed for years.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103

8. The supply of the raw material (scrap tires) is available and accessible throughout the
country, and most States have legislated scrap tire cleanup programs that offer subsidies
and grants to help remediate their scrap tire problems.
9. An electronic chip for pallet identification and load identification will be available with
SRT-PLT pallets, and this can be done because of the strength and rigidity of the pallet,
which is practically indestructible.
4.2 Location and Personnel
Our first plant will be located in Kota Tinggi, Johor, a rural area close to a large metropolitan
city, where large scrap tire stockpiles are located within less than 15 kilometers of our plant.
The area has a large workforce in desperate need of jobs, which will help EPM recruit
qualified and devoted workers that will be paid more than the average wages for this area,
which are less than in more populated areas. The direct labor cost shows that each plant will
require approximately 70 workers in three shifts.
The team for the first manufacturing plant is currently being interviewed. The Personnel table
shows the position and salary of the 68 employees that will work in three shifts of eight hours
each. Production is based on seven working hours with one hour budgeted for maintenance
and crew change. To facilitate training, during the first month one shift will be in operation,
in the second month, two shifts and from the third month forward the plant will operate at full
production capacity with three shifts.
The Profit & Loss table shows the payroll burden as 23% of the salary, which covers the taxes
and benefits for the employees. No increase in wages and salaries have been forecasted,
however, it is assumed that as the company grows, employees will receive increases in their
wages, salaries and benefits.
The Personnel table shows the direct and active involvement of the company President (the
inventor) and the V.P. in all stages of the startup, purchasing of the machinery and running
the business. The team includes highly qualified professionals as consultants in different areas
that will enable a smooth and efficient entry to production. As the projected expansion takes
place, EPM will begin a search for highly qualified management candidates that will manage
the company in the future.
4.3 Marketing Operation
The SRT-PLT pallet is positioned uniquely as all industries and manufacturers use pallets to
transport everything from commodities to equipment and parts. The main segmentation
among the users is found in how they use pallets. The Power industry uses in excess of twenty
million pallets annually, government owned poultry processing plants use more than ten
million pallets annually, 3M Corporation purchased seven million pallets in one year alone,
and the beverage industry uses in excess of fifty million pallets annually. There are also
thousands of companies using anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of pallets
annually including, chemical companies, bag cement, building materials, grocery, paint
companies, and many others.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103
17
Our first targeted customers are those that use a "closed loop" distribution system, where they
manufacture and/or distribute products using their own fleet, where loaded pallets can be
dropped and returned when unloaded, to be utilized over and over again. We also will target
government entities, agencies, and contractors both Federal and State.
Our marketing strategy is based on informing and introducing the SRT-PLT pallet to pallet
buyers across the country and in different industries. We can accomplish this at a rapid pace
by showcasing the pallets at selected trade shows and conventions. Samples will be available
as well as brochures and videotapes explaining the benefits of the SRT-PLT pallet.
4.4 Sales Operation
As stated, EPM will sell pallets as they are manufactured. Pre-production marketing efforts
have been ongoing for the last year. We have established a sales plan, however our
production will dictate how quickly our sales team will expand. One company we have
contacted expects to purchase 22 million pallets during the next two years. If we were to
capture a large contract, our production schedule would be sold out for a number of years.
Another sales company that markets products exclusively to the power industry, would like to
have an exclusive to sell our pallets to power companies, and they estimate they can sell a
minimum of 1.2 million pallets annually. We have approached many companies on the
benefits of using SRT-PLT pallets, including; 3-M Corporation, Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods,
manufacturers of charcoal briquettes, flour and cereal mills, salt processors, building
materials, including bagged sand and cement, plaster and even chemical companies.
This business plan calls for the company to grow itself. The Kota Tinggi plant will be the
first, and we expect new plants to be opened in years two, three, four and five. Some future
plant site work has been completed, however we will locate the plants with positive scrap tire
programs, some of which may provide subsidies for using scrap tire rubber to manufacture
new products. We have already had several foreign entities show interest in either becoming
distributors or manufacturers.
4.4.1 Sales Forecast
Our sales forecast is based on the following assumptions. We expect our production will be
sold as soon as it is ready, as the forecasted production is much less than the anticipated
demand. Our product is not seasonal and will be continually manufactured throughout the
year. We will operate in three shifts (except during training in first two months).
Our sales force will start taking orders sixty days prior to production. The initial selling price
is low in order to introduce the pallets to many different manufacturers and industries.
However we expect to raise prices at the rate of 5% per year (which is less than the rate of
increase of the wooden pallets).
Regarding the "direct cost of sales" (COG), we assume the costs of materials will remain the
same for us, due to discounts we will receive for the quantities of materials that we consume
which should offset rising costs. We can also reduce our costs by doing some manufacturing
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103
18
processes ourselves, such as mixing and batching the binders at our plant, and by cutting the
scrap tire rubber from chips to our required specifications.
We've calculated production labor costs, including salaries, taxes, and benefits to be $1.31 per
pallet. The breakdown of production personnel is presented in the Personnel table, Production
Personnel category, and the resultant figures appear in the Profit and Loss table under Sales,
Production Payroll.

6.0 Financial
The projected financial plan is very sound. The one-time investment gives EPM the ability to
take 50% of the profits (after tax) as dividends at the end of year two and to self-fund
expansion by one additional plant per year. The projected cash flow is outstanding and will
enable EPM to be even more aggressive in our expansion plans.
As mentioned throughout this Business Plan, each plant will produce a maximum of 100,000
pallets per month, which is very low in comparison to the demand for pallets.
In addition to the expansion within the Malaysia, overseas licensing projects will be
developed, from which we will create additional revenue streams through licensing fees,
royalties, and other contractual payments.
EPM may also enter into other joint ventures or partnerships to license other entities to
manufacture and market SRT-PLT pallets not only in Malaysia but also worldwide.
The last two sources of income are not included in the financial forecast and do not appear in
the tables.
6.1 Important Assumptions
The financial plan based on important assumptions, detailed in the following statements:
• Due to the initial limited production in comparison to the market size, EPM assumes that
even a slow-growth economy, will not affect our plan for the next five years.
• EPM forecasts that there would be no unforeseen changes in technology to make our
products obsolete. Pallet buyers are looking for cost effective solutions for replacing the
high cost of purchasing, repairing, and discarding wooden pallets and SRT-PLT pallets
offer the solution by providing a longer lasting more durable pallet.
• Cash flow is not expected to be a problem, with most pallets being paid for on delivery.
There will be exceptions for specific customers, as an example, the Malaysian
Government, based on the quantity of pallets that are ordered, but generally, payments for
pallets will be paid in full upon delivery.
• EPM's growth is based on internal financial resources. EPM will budget 50% for growth
and 50% from the profits as dividends after taxes (from year two forward and as long as it
does not affect the planned growth of the company).
• The source of raw material (scrap tires) is virtually endless as long as cars continue to roll
on tires. Presently, 250 million tires are added each year to scrap tire stockpiles all over
the country.
• EPM assumes a short holding of inventory beyond the curing time of the pallets and
transportation arrangements.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103
24
• EPM assumes a 5% annual raise in our selling price, which is comparable to the wooden
pallet industry and fluctuating lumber costs.
• EPM assumes no raise in our material costs, because the quantities we purchase will
increase, and EPM anticipates discounts to offset any increased costs.
• EPM assumes an average sales price per pallet in the first year of production to be $18.50,
which is significantly less costly than hardwood pallets whose entire cost includes
purchase, repair, maintenance, and discard/disposal.
6.2 Break-even Analysis
This break-even analysis shows that EPM has budgeted fixed costs and projects sufficient
sales to maintain good cash flow balances. This projection is based on two production lines.
The essential insight here is that EPM's projected sales levels will be running comfortably
above the break-even point.

6.3 Projected Profit and Loss
NOTES TO PROJECTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - MATERIALS COST
The raw materials, recycled scrap tire rubber, will be provided on an as needed basis. No
large stockpiles of material or inventories of recycled rubber shall be stored at the
manufacturing site.
The main ingredient of an SRT-PLT pallet is recycled scrap tire rubber that has been
processed to specific dimensions. There is three million tons of scrap tire shredded rubber on
the ground in Johor with ten permitted processors or tire shredders, which want to provide
material to EPM. EPM will purchase scrap tire rubber from a Johor processor, and has
estimated the cost of material at $1.25/pallet ($50 per ton. Johor, Pahang and Melaka now
produces approximately 200,000 tons of scrap tire rubber annually.
NOTE 2 - ROYALTIES
The Licensing Agreement requires payment of 5% of gross sales to Mr. Shah, the inventor, as
royalties. This may be paid quarterly or monthly (5% has been used throughout these
projections). There will be no royalties for the first six months of production to help the cash
flow of the company.
NOTE 3 -GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE WAGES AND PAYROLL BURDEN
The company will employ Management and clerical staff. Additional management members
and marketing representatives will be added as needed throughout the growth of the company.
Payroll burden including taxes, health and employee benefits. During the six-month start-up
phase and thereafter, the company will employ experts in the industry as consultants.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103
26
NOTE 4 - DEPRECIATION
Machinery and equipment is being depreciated over 10 years, property over 30 years.
NOTE 5 - OFFICE EXPENSES
Provision has been made for estimated general office expenses. Computers and office
equipment costing $15,000 is included in the initial start-up budget and Expensed Equipment.
The amount budgeted for Year One is $12,000, which will increase at the rate of $12,000 per
year with each additional plant.
NOTE 6 - MARKETING and SALES
Management anticipates strong demand for the SRT-PLT pallets creating a real challenge for
production to keep up with the demand. Back orders are expected and sales on advanced
production should drive expansion. With many potential pallet users identified, who currently
use from 100,000 to 7 million pallets annually, we will approach the expansion of our
national sales force, carefully. EPM does not want a large sales force with production sold out
for months in advance. A budget in this category will be used for sales representatives or
commissions on sales and is budgeted at $73,000 during year one.
A Marketing Director shall develop goals and strategies with the board of directors. EPM
plans to hire a qualified director in year one. Sales representatives will be hired and it is
anticipated they will receive a base salary with commissions of ten cents per pallet sold. The
budget takes these assumptions into consideration.
NOTE 7 - MACHINERY MAINTENANCE
The initial production line machinery will be in good working order, nevertheless, EPM will
plan for parts maintenance and replacement. This budget grows as more machinery and plants
are established.

The table presents our projected cash flow balances. The critical first year reflects positive
cash flow. Monthly cash flow is positive and more important the balances are positive, which
indicates adequate financial reserves and correct planning of the required working
capital. The estimated results permit a margin of error and still appear strong, even though the
numbers remain conservative.
EPM intends to distribute dividends to its shareholders in a way that will enable the
continuation of the expansion of the company according to this Business Plan. EPM estimates
that from year two forward 50% of the profit (after tax) will be distributed to the
shareholders. The Board of Directors will determine any other distributions to be made on an
annual basis.
The following chart shows the cash availability for the next 12 months. The bar labeled "Cash
Balance" shows our projected cash balance for the first 12 months of the project and it is
adequate (above zero). The second set of bars, labeled "Net Cash Flow", indicates the change
in the Cash Balance for each month.

7.0 Critical Risks
Every business faces risks in the real world, so every business plan needs to spend some time
addressing them. The exact issues raised by business experts, bankers, lawyers, and investors
are often specific to the plan, but the themes they consider in assessing risks are actually
quite common.
Knowing these risk themes, management can go through the business plan, identify the risks,
and determine how to handle them.
There are six risks that are common threats to businesses. These situations can cause
investors, bankers, and other readers to evaluate a plan negatively? Each of the risks can be
handled, but the best test is to have people in the target audiences give feedback on the plan.
7.1 Overstated Numbers
Key numbers in business plan that seem too good to be true, or are just large to begin with,
tend to get a lot of attention, most of it negative. Sales or profits that are too optimistic,
salaries that are too high for a firm of its age, and profitability are the three most likely
culprits.
For salaries, it makes sense in start-up firms for owners to take out the minimum, with
additional income derived from profits, if and when you get them.
For sales and profits, always give the most likely number, not the most optimistic. Profits
depend on being able to meet sales projections and keep within your costs, so if either one is
off, profits will be too.
7.2 Uncertain Sales
The conversion rate is the percentage of people who buyout of the total population of people
been approach. It is also called the hit rate. The best test of the conversion rate is through test
marketing or pre-selling.
Test marketing is selling the product or service in a limited area, for a limited time. Often in
test marketing efforts, to give buyers incentives in return for information that helps to profile
the actual target customer.
Pre-selling involves introducing product to potential customers and taking orders for later
delivery. In either case, the key information is the number of customers approached and the
percent who bought. Knowing the conversion rate, a reader then takes the projected market
size, applies the conversion rate (probably something like 50-75 percent of the claimed rate
"just to play it safe"), and then estimates what the total sales might be.
7.3 Overlooked Competition
To know and study about the immediate competitors, as well as substitutes and potential
competitors in order to sustain, to grow and to prove long-term vision for the company.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103
34
7.4 Experience Deficits
A lot of the success in business comes from lack of experience. In a business, one critical
risk is not knowing as much as the competition does. Four types of experience deficits
include experience deficit in the line of business, in the industry, in the locality and in
managing. Successful firms invariably possess or develop all four types. Some organization
should be able to supply. If there is any experience lacking, organization need to get it
themselves or hire it through partners, employees, or consultants working with the
organization or for organization.
7.5 Inadequate Cushion
The single most common reason for business closure is a lack of financial resources. In some
cases, the firm ran out of money, many customers take too long to pay, unexpected expenses,
accidents, and mistakes can be deadly to a firm if it does not have enough money saved for
such rainy days. Having enough cash to survive three months goes a long way to avoiding
this risk.
7.6 Inadequate Payback
It is always important to think about what the reader of the plan is expecting. For bankers, it
is the payback (note that this is NOT the payback criterion for investing) of the loan or line
of credit, so cash flows and collateral issues are important. For investors, growth rates and
profit margins are important because these factors determine their earnings. For key
employees, knowing the firm's operation and prospects helps them visualize their future in
the firm. When the plan does not clearly specify the key paybacks to readers, it fails to sell
them on the idea.
Ideally, organization/firm should have a circle of advisers who can review their business plan
and help to identify the critical risks and coverage for them. This circle might include
successful entrepreneurs the organization know, lawyers, or accountants.

8.0 Milestones
The following table lists important project milestones during the pre-production start-up
period, with dates and managers in charge, and budgets for each milestone. The milestone
schedule indicates our emphasis on planning for implementation.
The production schedule is based on three shifts. During the first month only one shift will be
in operation, in the second month, two shifts, and from the third month, a full three shifts of
production. During the start-up period, the employees will be located and trained.
The municipality of Kota Tinggi, Johor will assist us in recruiting about seventy employees.
There is an adequate work force within the surrounding communities, which will enable us to
choose quality people.

9.0 Conclusion
In addition to the enclosed financial information contained in this Business Plan, EPM would
like to make the following observations that were not emphasized in this Business Plan:
The Business Plan covers five years of activities. We consider the financial projections in the
Business Plan as conservative. Potential companies recognize the value of SRT-PLT pallets
and have shown an interest in licensing the technology in order to manufacture and market
the pallets in their countries (in some cases with our participation). The Business Plan does
not include any income from licensing fees or royalties from foreign entities. Scrap tire
problems exists everywhere and is even more acute in Europe and the Far East as they have
less space for storage and less scrap tire processing technology than Malaysia.
Revenues include some benefits from State or Federal level subsidies or grants for helping to
clean up scrap tire problems, which are available. There are States that are offering
participation in funding new companies using scrap tire rubber. EPM believes that demand
for SRT-PLT pallets may cause expansion plans to be reviewed and changed, assuming
demand will be high. After initial exposure of SRT-PLT pallets to the market, additional
plants may need to be installed sooner than the company growth plan calls for.
As previously mentioned, a division or subsidiary of EPM will be proposed to manage the
pallet leasing aspect of sales, which will afford pallet users the option to change over their
entire inventories of wooden pallets to SRT pallets on a "lease to purchase" plan. EPM
anticipates substantial revenues and success in the pallet leasing market.

  • 4. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 1 1.0 Executive Summary The scrap tire recycling industry has been around for many years, but uses for recycled scrap tire rubber are in the initial stage, as less than 20% of scrap tires are processed. Approximately 10% are incinerated, generally for power generation, although air quality issues are always a concern as scrap tires, like coal, are dirty fuel. Approximately 4% of our scrap tires are exported to other countries where the casings are used in retread plants or the used tires are sold as is. Currently about 2% are processed into crumb rubber and used in molded products and for modified rubberized asphalt applications, which provides a longer lasting and more durable asphalt surface. Stockpiles of scrap tires create health problems as they become breeding grounds for rodents, snakes, and mosquitoes, and also are serious fire hazards. EPM - Efficient Pallets Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. a Johor based company, is proud to present its unique and patented product the SRT-PLT Pallet, a new pallet made from recycled scrap tire rubber. The "SRT-PLT Pallet" is strong, durable and reusable, providing an alternative to wooden pallets and the expense associated with replacing, repairing and discarding wooden pallets. SRT-PLT Pallets might be serial numbered and bar-coded to insure tracking and retrieval so that they can be used over and over again for many years. OUR MISSION To provide cost effective and durable pallets to all industries and manufacturing. THE EXISTING PROBLEM • Wood and plastic pallet life cycle is short and the cost is very high. • Wood pallets break and need repair or replacement every one or two trips. • Wood absorbs liquids, gains weight, breaks and splinters, and is difficult to clean. • Industries demand more durable and long lasting pallets. • Scrap tire stockpiles are an environmental hazard. • Current pallets made of wood, are consuming over 3.5 million trees annually. THE SOLUTION • SRT-PLT pallets are less costly to buy and maintain. • SRT-PLT pallets are more durable and indestructible. • SRT-PLT pallets can support 15 times the load of a similar wooden pallet. • SRT-PLT pallets are rack able, stackable, more durable and longer lasting. • SRT-PLT pallets are unique, made from recycled scrap tire rubber using a newly patented process that includes rubber, recycled plastics and a binder system. • SRT-PLT pallets are guaranteed for years. • SRT-PLT pallets have no competition worldwide. TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS • The materials process and the manufacturing of pallets are based on an approved and issued patent. • International (PCT) patent protection filed. • Production line machinery is available and has been sourced. • Raw materials are readily available and have been sourced.
  • 5. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 2 • Flexible production line allows for building various pallet sizes, with high yield and quality. • Product is production "ready". All R&D and qualification complete. • Process based on modular capacity that allows for quick manufacturing expansion. • Factory is environmentally "clean" with no waste stream. THE MARKET • SRT-PLT pallets have the lowest life cycle cost compared to wood, aluminum, and plastic. • Global Pallets-leasing options available. • Marketing to focus on both closed and open loop distribution systems. • Worldwide markets and licensing opportunities (Internationally protected patents). SALES • Prototypes were evaluated by different industries, including military and government agencies with positive feedback. • Potential sales pending investment and production ramp up. • Environmental incentives to certain markets (Government sub-contractors). • All licenses, permits, governmental agencies acquired and in support of project. PALLET COST COMPARISON - OVER FIVE YEARS • Use of SRT-PLT pallets demonstrates substantial savings, $22 for SRT-PLT pallet vs. $133 for total cost for wooden pallet, over 5 years. INVESTMENT REQUIRED AND USE OF FUNDS • $6M investment for 35% ownership estimated to reach profitability within 12-18 months. • From the second year forward, 50% of the net profit after tax will be distributed as dividends to the shareholders (as long as it will not affect the planned expansion). The other 50% will be dedicated to growth. • Funds raised will be used for plant setup, operations, equipment, marketing and sales. First year operation with two production lines is expected to produce 1,137,000 units, with a projected net profit of over $8 million. INVESTOR DISCUSSION • Projections reflect the return of the original investment in less than two years. • Approximately six times valuation, based on discounting of five years of net earnings to present value. • Present Value of five years of projected net earnings at a 25% discount (incl. risk factor) is $98 million. • Reaching less than 1% of the market share with five plants within five years. • Projected revenue of approximately $402 million. • Projected net profit (before taxes) of approximately $178 million. • Management Team - Strong and professional with highly specialized consultants. • Exit Strategy alternatives: (a) IPO after two years; (b) Acquisition; (c) Private ownership with a long horizon of profits.
  • 6. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 3 1.1 Mission EPM is a manufacturing and marketing company dedicated to providing to all industries cost effective and durable pallets made from recycled scrap tires. The manufacturing process and the product are patent protected worldwide with no existing competition. Pallet users, both manufacturers of commodities and industries that use pallets for their main distribution, demand a more durable and longer lasting pallet to replace wooden pallets that require constant repairing, replacing and discarding. From the normal usage it is known that a wooden pallet gives service for only one to two trips before having to be repaired or replaced. Because of the short life cycle of wood (and plastic) pallets, pallet users are forced to purchase pallets more often. Scrap tire stockpiles represent dangerous environmental hazards as they are breeding grounds for mosquitoes, rodents, and snakes, and create potential hazards for fires, which are extremely dangerous and expensive to extinguish. EPM will reduce scrap tire stockpiles hazards and will help to conserve some of the 3.5 million trees harvested each year to manufacture wooden pallets. EPM will locate its manufacturing plants in rural towns, near large metropolitan areas, where employment is needed the most. EPM will earn profits and provide excellent return to its investors while at the same time financing an aggressive growth of the company to increase production each year. EPM will also maintain a friendly, fair, and creative work environment, which respects diversity, product improvement, and hard work. 1.2 Objectives 1. To establish two production lines at the first plant in Kota Tinggi, Johor in order to produce 1.2 million pallets annually, with projected net income in excess of $8 million. 2. To expand production annually by opening a plant with two additional lines of production each year for years two through five. 3. Achieve targeted market share of 0.15% in the first production year to 0.75% by the end of year five. 4. First year projected market share of 0.15% is expected to bring net profits of $8 million and 0.75% of the market share in year five is projected to bring net profits of $66 million. Accumulated profits are projected to be $173 million for the first five years of production. 5. EPM will take advantage of the acute need for solutions to Malaysia's scrap tire problems, and establish plants in different locations where scrap tires are abundantly available, while taking advantage of benefits and subsidies offered by different State Government programs for the remediation of scrap tires. 6. Develop foreign markets, through licensing agreements, especially in Europe and the Far East, where similar acute problems of scrap tires exist.
  • 7. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 4 1.3 Keys to Success EPM will succeed for the following reasons: • SRT-PLT pallets have the lowest life cycle costs compared to wooden or plastic pallets. • SRT-PLT pallets are patent protected, are durable and virtually indestructible, and can carry in excess of 15 times the load of wooden pallets. • SRT-PLT pallets are guaranteed for years. • Pallets are a well-known, necessary and established product; therefore there is no need to penetrate the market with a totally new product. In fact, SRT-PLT pallets are not a new product at all, but are far superior, durable and longer lasting than anything comparable in the market place. The advertising and marketing costs will remain low as the SRT-PLT pallets are introduced to pallet users through trade shows and conventions, with EPM's sales representatives located in targeted marketing regions.
  • 8. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 5 2.0 Business Summary Efficient Pallets Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. (EPM) was formed to create a joint venture with the participation of the new investors and the current owners: SRT Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. and Ahmad Ali, EPM's Vice President. EPM will manufacture and market worldwide the SRT-PLT Pallet, made from a patent protected new material that includes the use of recycled scrap tire rubber. The pallet will be an affordable alternative to the high cost of purchasing, repairing, replacing, and discarding wooden pallets. Pallet users purchasing SRT-PLT pallets will realize substantial savings in their pallet costs. EPM is a new entity with SRT Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., becoming a shareholder. SRT Manufacturing has invested in excess of $1 million to date, to complete research and development, prototypes, and pre-production marketing of the pallets. Plant property in Kota Tinggi, Johor, initial machinery, materials and supplies were purchased to bring the project to where it is today so that we can move into production and marketing of the SRT-PLT Pallets through EPM. SRT will transfer all assets to EPM. All patent rights to manufacture and market the SRT-PLT Pallets worldwide, are assigned in perpetuity to EPM by the inventor and EPM's president, Shah Sheikh. 2.1 Company Ownership Upon completion of the offering EPM a corporation, will be owned by: • SRT Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd.- 50%, • EPM's V.P.- Ahmad Ali - 15%, • The new investors (up to) - 35% EPM is offering 35% of its shares to raise $6 million as additional capital needed for starting the first plant (with two production lines), in Kota Tinggi, Johor. EPM Headquarters is in Johor Bahru, Johor and sales representatives will be positioned in targeted marketing areas. The majority owner of SRT Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., is the inventor of the new material and the SRT-PLT pallet, Mr. Shah Sheikh, the President of EPM.
  • 9. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 6 2.2 Start-up Summary The following summary table shows the projected start-up costs during the seven months needed to get into production. It includes the supply of specific machinery and equipment needed for the production lines. The start-up costs are to be financed by the money raised. The funds sought for opening the plant with two production lines is $6 million with projected net profits, in the first year of over $7 million. Alternatively, as a minimum plan, we could open with one line of production with funds of $4 million. In this case, the projected net profit, in the first year is over $3 million. In either case, about $750,000 will be available as working capital for the first six months of operations (after the plant is in production). Management expects to begin production in approximately 180-200 days from funding as detailed in the Start-Up table. Long-term Assets Equipment and Machinery $3,827,800 Plant Improvements $200,000 LV Truck $3,000 Plant Vehicle $2,400 Total Equipment and Plant $4,033,200

  • 12. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 9 3.0 Marketing EPM's product - the SRT-PLT pallet is a unique and revolutionary pallet made from a new, patent protected, material of recycled scrap tires, a small amount of recycled plastic and a bonding process. The function specifications of our pallets are identical to the existing wooden pallets (e.g. sizes, four ways entry, upper deck coverage etc.) except that SRT-PLT pallets are much more durable and longer lasting which makes penetration into the existing markets less difficult. The patented process and product gives our SRT-PLT pallets the following advantages over the existing pallets: • SRT-PLT pallets are less costly to buy and maintain. • SRT-PLT pallets are more durable and indestructible. • SRT-PLT pallets carry 15 times the load of a similar wood pallet. • SRT-PLT pallets are rack able, stackable, and longer lasting than wooden pallets. • SRT-PLT pallets do not absorb liquids and are easy to clean. • SRT-PLT pallets are guaranteed for years. • SRT-PLT pallets have NO competition. • SRT-PLT pallets are environmentally friendly and are, themselves, a recyclable product. • SRT-PLT pallets are made of recycled scrap tire rubber material using a newly patented process which includes rubber, recycled plastics, and a binder system. 3.1 Innovative Technology Background A major technological obstacle, which the recycled rubber market must overcome, is the nature of the rubber itself. Rubber used in the manufacturing of tires is vulcanized (rubber + sulfur) combined in the presence of heat and thermo set (formed into shape by steam and pressure - also referred to as a "cured" product). To date, no technology has been able to de- vulcanize rubber (break the carbon-sulfur bonds). As such, thermo set rubber cannot chemically bond with any other polymer (rubber or plastic) to a degree anywhere approaching the uncured rubber. If, however current research is able to remove this obstacle, a very significant market will be opened. Current usage According to the Scrap Tire Management Council there were seven markets listed for recycled scrap tire rubber. These markets without exception utilize crumb rubber with all of the steel, wire, and textile removed, as an additive to rubber-modified asphalt (25%); pneumatic tires (25%); athletic fields (20%); bound rubber products (15%); friction material (5%); molded rubber products (5%); and molded rubber/plastic products (5%). The new technology and the patent Mr. Shah Sheikh has overcome the obstacle Mr. Shah's invention of this "unique new material" through formulation and different particle sized recycled scrap tire rubber has created a tough, durable, hard and rigid material from which SRT-PLT pallets are manufactured.
  • 13. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 10 3.2 Market Analysis Summary Our first market will be a 500km radius area around Johor, Pahang, Melaka and Kuala Lumpur in which the yearly consumption is 60 million pallets. Our markets for the SRT-PLT pallets are all industries and users of pallets. About 300 interested users for our SRT-PLT pallets (each of them buying over 100,000 pallets/year) were contacted. • SRT-PLT pallets have the lowest life cycle cost compared to hard wood and plastic. • Global Pallets leasing. • Closed and open loop systems. • Worldwide markets and licensing opportunities (Internationally patent protection filed). The growth projection for the next five years is to add a new plant with two lines each year, reaching production in excess of six million pallets by the fifth year. 3.3 Market Segmentation Due to the fact that EPM's projected plan is to open a new plant each year over the next five years, and to capture 0.15% to 0.75% of the Malaysia’s pallet market, our main growth problem will be the limited abilities to supply the potential demand. Although we segmented the market into six groups we cannot indicate the percentage of growth for each segment, as the growth is not linear. The percentage represents our relative emphasis of this segment.

  • 14. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 11 Chart: Market Analysis (Pie) 3.4 Target Market Segment Strategy The following table demonstrates the cost savings that will be realized when a company converts its wooden pallet inventory to SRT-PLT pallets. Currently new hardwood pallets, (example: 40"x48", four-way entry, 80% top deck coverage) are sold from $12 to $24 per pallet depending on the geographical area where you are purchasing your pallets, and the always fluctuating cost of hardwood. For the purpose of this chart we show the lowest price for large quantities of hardwood pallets at $10. A pallet user of 100,000 new pallets per year will be saving over $3 million within 5 years using our SRT-PLT pallets. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total 5 year Company A buys 100,000 pallets/year @$10.00 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $5,000,000 Company B buys 100,000 SRT-PLT pallets @$18.50 (One time purchase) $1,850,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $1,850,000 TOTAL SAVINGS $3,150,000 The table demonstrates that big users will realize huge savings. For example, one poultry processing plant that purchases one million pallets per year (about the production of one EPM plant) will realize savings of over $31 million within five years which will encourage them to convert their wooden pallet inventory to SRT-PLT pallets. Big users, as mentioned above, might accelerate our growth plan even quicker. This is the reason that strategically, our marketing efforts will concentrate towards the big users. Our marketing effort will be directed also to all government agencies including the military. Contractors doing business with the government should be using "environmentally preferable" products.

  • 16. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 13 3.5 Industry Analysis The pallet industry's computation of the cost of a pallet includes the costs of production, maintenance and repairs, and discarding of the broken pallet. In the last decade, materials other than wood were introduced to the pallet industry like plastic, metal and corrugated cardboard, but still over 90% remain wood. Most wooden pallets must be replaced or repaired after only one to two trips. It is estimated that over 3.5 million trees are used each year for pallet production, and most of these pallets end up in landfills, burned, or composted. For years pallet users have been looking to build stronger and more durable pallets that would last longer, but nothing has changed. Pallet manufacturers favor the ongoing replacement prevalent in the industry. EPM with its SRT-PLT pallet product will utilize Johor' scrap tires to manufacture pallets at its first plant in Kota Tinggi, Johor. The SRT-PLT pallets will provide tough and durable pallets to pallet users while helping clean up the scrap tire problem. EPM's patented material and the manufacturing process to make pallets from scrap tires is the ultimate solution to the problems presented above: a) stronger and more durable pallets; b) reducing scrap tire stockpiles; c) saving trees. The use of SRT-PLT pallets provides an excellent cost effective price, competitive to hardwood pallet prices. Savings for a pallet user that purchases 100,000 pallets annually, when converting from wood to SRT-PLT pallets. It shows savings over a five year period of more than $3 million. This saving comes on top of other benefits of using the SRT-PLT pallets including: more durable and indestructible, carries 15 times the load of wooden pallets, rack able and stackable, will not absorb liquids (can be stored outside), and guaranteed for years.
  • 17. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 14 3.5.1 Competition and Buying Patterns There is NO direct competition to SRT-PLT pallets and no similar pallets exist today. The "competition" comes from pallets made of other materials like wood and plastic. Pallet users that use hardwood pallets do not use pallets made of corrugated cardboard. The table below demonstrates the cost comparison among the different pallets: PALLET COST COMPARISONS - OVER 5 YEARS Pallet: Made of Unit Price Repair Cost/yr* Replace. u/p x 4 Recycle $1/yr Total Cost Average Cost Hardwood 12 - 24 120* 48 - 96 5 185 - 245 215 Plastic 39 - 89 0 156 - 356 5 200 - 450 325 SRT-PLT 19 - 25 0 0 0 19 - 25 22 (*) Six repairs per year costing $4 each x 5 years. The table clearly shows that costs over five years of the hardwood pallet is almost ten times that of SRT-PLT pallets. In addition to the savings, there are other advantages such as the guarantee, no need to repair, can be stored outside (no liquids are absorbed), washable (important in the food industry), rack able and stackable, strong and indestructible. Bar- coding and electronic chips can be molded into the pallet to allow for specific inventory information regarding what is loaded on the pallet and for tracking. There is no competition to SRT-PLT pallets. There is no competitor making pallets from recycled rubber. EPM anticipates that our limited production will cause our five years expansion plan to be revised in order to meet the demand. Our first plant is expected to produce approximately 1.14 million pallets in the first year and 1.23 million from the second year forward. While the market for pallets is in excess of 800 million annually, EPM expects to capture about 0.15% of the market in the first year, and 0.75% after five years to meet our projections. This takes a great part of the risk out of the project.
  • 18. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 15 4.0 Operation, Strategy and Implementation Due to the increased lifecycle and interchangeability of the SRT-PLT pallets with existing wooden pallets, EPM's customers derive value from utilizing these innovative products in a number of ways. First and foremost, using and replacing the user's wooden pallet inventory with SRT-PLT pallets eliminates ongoing maintenance and replacement costs. Another value is the longevity SRT-PLT pallets offer. SRT-PLT pallets have the longest life- cycle regardless of hot, cold, or wet climates or in environments where maintenance is difficult. SRT-PLT Pallets will not rot, which is a common problem for wooden pallets. SRT-PLT pallets will help save hardwood forests currently used to manufacture wooden pallets, reduce greenhouse gases, use significant amounts of waste plastics and scrap tires from landfills and storage facilities, and reduce pallet users’ costs while increasing profits. 4.1 Competitive Edge EPM's most important competitive edge is based on the unique and patented material used to manufacture the SRT-PLT pallets. The process, the unique material, and the use of the material to manufacture pallets are protected by the issued utility patent that will prevent duplication or "copycat" competition. SRT-PLT pallets are manufactured from recycled scrap tires. Federal law and most State Governments require agencies and contractors to purchase recycled products first, as mandated by "buy recycled products first". SRT-PLT pallets can be power washed or steam cleaned which is a critical factor in the food industry, such as in poultry and meat processing plants, which must maintain sanitized production areas. SRT-PLT pallets do not absorb liquids as wooden pallets and they can be stored outside without occupying expensive indoor space. The SRT-PLT pallets are a "triple green" product. They are manufactured from recycled materials, and can be recycled in the event they ever wear out, and they will help conserve our nation's forests while helping clean up Malaysia's scrap tire problems. The SRT-PLT pallets will be the best cost/performance pallets in the market. The summary of advantages that our pallets have in comparison to existing material pallets such as hardwood, plastic, corrugated cardboard, and aluminum, are: 1. Much less cost to buy and maintain. 2. More durable and indestructible. 3. Carries 15x the load of a similar wood pallet. 4. The pallets are rack able and stackable. 5. Made of recycled material. 6. The pallet and the process are patent protected worldwide. 7. Guaranteed for years.
  • 19. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 16 8. The supply of the raw material (scrap tires) is available and accessible throughout the country, and most States have legislated scrap tire cleanup programs that offer subsidies and grants to help remediate their scrap tire problems. 9. An electronic chip for pallet identification and load identification will be available with SRT-PLT pallets, and this can be done because of the strength and rigidity of the pallet, which is practically indestructible. 4.2 Location and Personnel Our first plant will be located in Kota Tinggi, Johor, a rural area close to a large metropolitan city, where large scrap tire stockpiles are located within less than 15 kilometers of our plant. The area has a large workforce in desperate need of jobs, which will help EPM recruit qualified and devoted workers that will be paid more than the average wages for this area, which are less than in more populated areas. The direct labor cost shows that each plant will require approximately 70 workers in three shifts. The team for the first manufacturing plant is currently being interviewed. The Personnel table shows the position and salary of the 68 employees that will work in three shifts of eight hours each. Production is based on seven working hours with one hour budgeted for maintenance and crew change. To facilitate training, during the first month one shift will be in operation, in the second month, two shifts and from the third month forward the plant will operate at full production capacity with three shifts. The Profit & Loss table shows the payroll burden as 23% of the salary, which covers the taxes and benefits for the employees. No increase in wages and salaries have been forecasted, however, it is assumed that as the company grows, employees will receive increases in their wages, salaries and benefits. The Personnel table shows the direct and active involvement of the company President (the inventor) and the V.P. in all stages of the startup, purchasing of the machinery and running the business. The team includes highly qualified professionals as consultants in different areas that will enable a smooth and efficient entry to production. As the projected expansion takes place, EPM will begin a search for highly qualified management candidates that will manage the company in the future. 4.3 Marketing Operation The SRT-PLT pallet is positioned uniquely as all industries and manufacturers use pallets to transport everything from commodities to equipment and parts. The main segmentation among the users is found in how they use pallets. The Power industry uses in excess of twenty million pallets annually, government owned poultry processing plants use more than ten million pallets annually, 3M Corporation purchased seven million pallets in one year alone, and the beverage industry uses in excess of fifty million pallets annually. There are also thousands of companies using anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of pallets annually including, chemical companies, bag cement, building materials, grocery, paint companies, and many others.
  • 20. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 17 Our first targeted customers are those that use a "closed loop" distribution system, where they manufacture and/or distribute products using their own fleet, where loaded pallets can be dropped and returned when unloaded, to be utilized over and over again. We also will target government entities, agencies, and contractors both Federal and State. Our marketing strategy is based on informing and introducing the SRT-PLT pallet to pallet buyers across the country and in different industries. We can accomplish this at a rapid pace by showcasing the pallets at selected trade shows and conventions. Samples will be available as well as brochures and videotapes explaining the benefits of the SRT-PLT pallet. 4.4 Sales Operation As stated, EPM will sell pallets as they are manufactured. Pre-production marketing efforts have been ongoing for the last year. We have established a sales plan, however our production will dictate how quickly our sales team will expand. One company we have contacted expects to purchase 22 million pallets during the next two years. If we were to capture a large contract, our production schedule would be sold out for a number of years. Another sales company that markets products exclusively to the power industry, would like to have an exclusive to sell our pallets to power companies, and they estimate they can sell a minimum of 1.2 million pallets annually. We have approached many companies on the benefits of using SRT-PLT pallets, including; 3-M Corporation, Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods, manufacturers of charcoal briquettes, flour and cereal mills, salt processors, building materials, including bagged sand and cement, plaster and even chemical companies. This business plan calls for the company to grow itself. The Kota Tinggi plant will be the first, and we expect new plants to be opened in years two, three, four and five. Some future plant site work has been completed, however we will locate the plants with positive scrap tire programs, some of which may provide subsidies for using scrap tire rubber to manufacture new products. We have already had several foreign entities show interest in either becoming distributors or manufacturers. 4.4.1 Sales Forecast Our sales forecast is based on the following assumptions. We expect our production will be sold as soon as it is ready, as the forecasted production is much less than the anticipated demand. Our product is not seasonal and will be continually manufactured throughout the year. We will operate in three shifts (except during training in first two months). Our sales force will start taking orders sixty days prior to production. The initial selling price is low in order to introduce the pallets to many different manufacturers and industries. However we expect to raise prices at the rate of 5% per year (which is less than the rate of increase of the wooden pallets). Regarding the "direct cost of sales" (COG), we assume the costs of materials will remain the same for us, due to discounts we will receive for the quantities of materials that we consume which should offset rising costs. We can also reduce our costs by doing some manufacturing

  • 26. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 23 6.0 Financial The projected financial plan is very sound. The one-time investment gives EPM the ability to take 50% of the profits (after tax) as dividends at the end of year two and to self-fund expansion by one additional plant per year. The projected cash flow is outstanding and will enable EPM to be even more aggressive in our expansion plans. As mentioned throughout this Business Plan, each plant will produce a maximum of 100,000 pallets per month, which is very low in comparison to the demand for pallets. In addition to the expansion within the Malaysia, overseas licensing projects will be developed, from which we will create additional revenue streams through licensing fees, royalties, and other contractual payments. EPM may also enter into other joint ventures or partnerships to license other entities to manufacture and market SRT-PLT pallets not only in Malaysia but also worldwide. The last two sources of income are not included in the financial forecast and do not appear in the tables. 6.1 Important Assumptions The financial plan based on important assumptions, detailed in the following statements: • Due to the initial limited production in comparison to the market size, EPM assumes that even a slow-growth economy, will not affect our plan for the next five years. • EPM forecasts that there would be no unforeseen changes in technology to make our products obsolete. Pallet buyers are looking for cost effective solutions for replacing the high cost of purchasing, repairing, and discarding wooden pallets and SRT-PLT pallets offer the solution by providing a longer lasting more durable pallet. • Cash flow is not expected to be a problem, with most pallets being paid for on delivery. There will be exceptions for specific customers, as an example, the Malaysian Government, based on the quantity of pallets that are ordered, but generally, payments for pallets will be paid in full upon delivery. • EPM's growth is based on internal financial resources. EPM will budget 50% for growth and 50% from the profits as dividends after taxes (from year two forward and as long as it does not affect the planned growth of the company). • The source of raw material (scrap tires) is virtually endless as long as cars continue to roll on tires. Presently, 250 million tires are added each year to scrap tire stockpiles all over the country. • EPM assumes a short holding of inventory beyond the curing time of the pallets and transportation arrangements.
  • 27. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 24 • EPM assumes a 5% annual raise in our selling price, which is comparable to the wooden pallet industry and fluctuating lumber costs. • EPM assumes no raise in our material costs, because the quantities we purchase will increase, and EPM anticipates discounts to offset any increased costs. • EPM assumes an average sales price per pallet in the first year of production to be $18.50, which is significantly less costly than hardwood pallets whose entire cost includes purchase, repair, maintenance, and discard/disposal. 6.2 Break-even Analysis This break-even analysis shows that EPM has budgeted fixed costs and projects sufficient sales to maintain good cash flow balances. This projection is based on two production lines. The essential insight here is that EPM's projected sales levels will be running comfortably above the break-even point.

  • 28. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 25 Chart: Break-even Analysis 6.3 Projected Profit and Loss NOTES TO PROJECTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - MATERIALS COST The raw materials, recycled scrap tire rubber, will be provided on an as needed basis. No large stockpiles of material or inventories of recycled rubber shall be stored at the manufacturing site. The main ingredient of an SRT-PLT pallet is recycled scrap tire rubber that has been processed to specific dimensions. There is three million tons of scrap tire shredded rubber on the ground in Johor with ten permitted processors or tire shredders, which want to provide material to EPM. EPM will purchase scrap tire rubber from a Johor processor, and has estimated the cost of material at $1.25/pallet ($50 per ton. Johor, Pahang and Melaka now produces approximately 200,000 tons of scrap tire rubber annually. NOTE 2 - ROYALTIES The Licensing Agreement requires payment of 5% of gross sales to Mr. Shah, the inventor, as royalties. This may be paid quarterly or monthly (5% has been used throughout these projections). There will be no royalties for the first six months of production to help the cash flow of the company. NOTE 3 -GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE WAGES AND PAYROLL BURDEN The company will employ Management and clerical staff. Additional management members and marketing representatives will be added as needed throughout the growth of the company. Payroll burden including taxes, health and employee benefits. During the six-month start-up phase and thereafter, the company will employ experts in the industry as consultants.
  • 29. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 26 NOTE 4 - DEPRECIATION Machinery and equipment is being depreciated over 10 years, property over 30 years. NOTE 5 - OFFICE EXPENSES Provision has been made for estimated general office expenses. Computers and office equipment costing $15,000 is included in the initial start-up budget and Expensed Equipment. The amount budgeted for Year One is $12,000, which will increase at the rate of $12,000 per year with each additional plant. NOTE 6 - MARKETING and SALES Management anticipates strong demand for the SRT-PLT pallets creating a real challenge for production to keep up with the demand. Back orders are expected and sales on advanced production should drive expansion. With many potential pallet users identified, who currently use from 100,000 to 7 million pallets annually, we will approach the expansion of our national sales force, carefully. EPM does not want a large sales force with production sold out for months in advance. A budget in this category will be used for sales representatives or commissions on sales and is budgeted at $73,000 during year one. A Marketing Director shall develop goals and strategies with the board of directors. EPM plans to hire a qualified director in year one. Sales representatives will be hired and it is anticipated they will receive a base salary with commissions of ten cents per pallet sold. The budget takes these assumptions into consideration. NOTE 7 - MACHINERY MAINTENANCE The initial production line machinery will be in good working order, nevertheless, EPM will plan for parts maintenance and replacement. This budget grows as more machinery and plants are established.

The critical first year reflects positive cash flow. Monthly cash flow is positive and more important the balances are positive, which indicates adequate financial reserves and correct planning of the required working capital. The estimated results permit a margin of error and still appear strong, even though the numbers remain conservative. EPM intends to distribute dividends to its shareholders in a way that will enable the continuation of the expansion of the company according to this Business Plan. EPM estimates that from year two forward 50% of the profit (after tax) will be distributed to the shareholders. The Board of Directors will determine any other distributions to be made on an annual basis. The following chart shows the cash availability for the next 12 months. The bar labeled "Cash Balance" shows our projected cash balance for the first 12 months of the project and it is adequate (above zero). The second set of bars, labeled "Net Cash Flow", indicates the change in the Cash Balance for each month.

  • 36. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 33 7.0 Critical Risks Every business faces risks in the real world, so every business plan needs to spend some time addressing them. The exact issues raised by business experts, bankers, lawyers, and investors are often specific to the plan, but the themes they consider in assessing risks are actually quite common. Knowing these risk themes, management can go through the business plan, identify the risks, and determine how to handle them. There are six risks that are common threats to businesses. These situations can cause investors, bankers, and other readers to evaluate a plan negatively? Each of the risks can be handled, but the best test is to have people in the target audiences give feedback on the plan. 7.1 Overstated Numbers Key numbers in business plan that seem too good to be true, or are just large to begin with, tend to get a lot of attention, most of it negative. Sales or profits that are too optimistic, salaries that are too high for a firm of its age, and profitability are the three most likely culprits. For salaries, it makes sense in start-up firms for owners to take out the minimum, with additional income derived from profits, if and when you get them. For sales and profits, always give the most likely number, not the most optimistic. Profits depend on being able to meet sales projections and keep within your costs, so if either one is off, profits will be too. 7.2 Uncertain Sales The conversion rate is the percentage of people who buyout of the total population of people been approach. It is also called the hit rate. The best test of the conversion rate is through test marketing or pre-selling. Test marketing is selling the product or service in a limited area, for a limited time. Often in test marketing efforts, to give buyers incentives in return for information that helps to profile the actual target customer. Pre-selling involves introducing product to potential customers and taking orders for later delivery. In either case, the key information is the number of customers approached and the percent who bought. Knowing the conversion rate, a reader then takes the projected market size, applies the conversion rate (probably something like 50-75 percent of the claimed rate "just to play it safe"), and then estimates what the total sales might be. 7.3 Overlooked Competition To know and study about the immediate competitors, as well as substitutes and potential competitors in order to sustain, to grow and to prove long-term vision for the company.
  • 37. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 34 7.4 Experience Deficits A lot of the success in business comes from lack of experience. In a business, one critical risk is not knowing as much as the competition does. Four types of experience deficits include experience deficit in the line of business, in the industry, in the locality and in managing. Successful firms invariably possess or develop all four types. Some organization should be able to supply. If there is any experience lacking, organization need to get it themselves or hire it through partners, employees, or consultants working with the organization or for organization. 7.5 Inadequate Cushion The single most common reason for business closure is a lack of financial resources. In some cases, the firm ran out of money, many customers take too long to pay, unexpected expenses, accidents, and mistakes can be deadly to a firm if it does not have enough money saved for such rainy days. Having enough cash to survive three months goes a long way to avoiding this risk. 7.6 Inadequate Payback It is always important to think about what the reader of the plan is expecting. For bankers, it is the payback (note that this is NOT the payback criterion for investing) of the loan or line of credit, so cash flows and collateral issues are important. For investors, growth rates and profit margins are important because these factors determine their earnings. For key employees, knowing the firm's operation and prospects helps them visualize their future in the firm. When the plan does not clearly specify the key paybacks to readers, it fails to sell them on the idea. Ideally, organization/firm should have a circle of advisers who can review their business plan and help to identify the critical risks and coverage for them. This circle might include successful entrepreneurs the organization know, lawyers, or accountants.

The milestone schedule indicates our emphasis on planning for implementation. The production schedule is based on three shifts. During the first month only one shift will be in operation, in the second month, two shifts, and from the third month, a full three shifts of production. During the start-up period, the employees will be located and trained. The municipality of Kota Tinggi, Johor will assist us in recruiting about seventy employees. There is an adequate work force within the surrounding communities, which will enable us to choose quality people.

  • 40. ENTREPRENEURSHIP BMET5103 37 9.0 Conclusion In addition to the enclosed financial information contained in this Business Plan, EPM would like to make the following observations that were not emphasized in this Business Plan: The Business Plan covers five years of activities. We consider the financial projections in the Business Plan as conservative. Potential companies recognize the value of SRT-PLT pallets and have shown an interest in licensing the technology in order to manufacture and market the pallets in their countries (in some cases with our participation). The Business Plan does not include any income from licensing fees or royalties from foreign entities. Scrap tire problems exists everywhere and is even more acute in Europe and the Far East as they have less space for storage and less scrap tire processing technology than Malaysia. Revenues include some benefits from State or Federal level subsidies or grants for helping to clean up scrap tire problems, which are available. There are States that are offering participation in funding new companies using scrap tire rubber. EPM believes that demand for SRT-PLT pallets may cause expansion plans to be reviewed and changed, assuming demand will be high. After initial exposure of SRT-PLT pallets to the market, additional plants may need to be installed sooner than the company growth plan calls for. As previously mentioned, a division or subsidiary of EPM will be proposed to manage the pallet leasing aspect of sales, which will afford pallet users the option to change over their entire inventories of wooden pallets to SRT pallets on a "lease to purchase" plan. EPM anticipates substantial revenues and success in the pallet leasing market.
