 speed and range. Hydrogen powered aircraft have already been prototyped and are expected to become more prevalent over the next decade. The development of solid-state hydrogen technology may address the safety, large-area storage requirement limitations for gaseous-state hydrogen. The Company plans to partner with and acquire strategic interests in visionary companies that accelerate our mission of commercializing critical breakthrough aerospace technologies which enhance sustainability, performance, and safety.

In the area of aerospace, management believes that the Company can grow expeditiously by acquiring technology and assets primarily through acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic investments, and licensing arrangements. As a publicly traded company, the Company offers partner companies such benefits as improved access to capital, higher valuations and lower risk through the shared ownership of a diversified portfolio, while allowing these entities to maintain independence in their distinct operations to focus on their fields of expertise. Cost savings and efficiencies may be realized from sharing non-operational functions such as finance, legal, tax, sales & marketing, human resources, purchasing power, as well as investor and public relations.

Industry Overview

Advanced Materials

Aerospace innovation has been at the forefront of many important scientific, technological, design and engineering breakthroughs which have had broad implications across non-aerospace sectors of the economy. Research and development initiatives originally intended for aerospace applications have contributed to advances in composites and other advanced materials, health care, transportation, telecommunications, agriculture, and manufacturing, and have led to the commercialization of new technologies and products that have positively impacted our daily lives.

One of the most recognized areas of research where the aerospace industry has played a major role is polymer chemistry, which includes the development of plastics technologies and fire retardants in plastics, coatings and adhesives. Technical improvements in aircraft design have shifted from a focus on speed and range to efficiency and sustainability, creating the need for advanced materials in aerostructures and engines that are lightweight and resistant to extreme heat. Plastic composites using carbon fiber are increasingly used in the structural components of aircrafts, replacing aluminum. Additionally, aircraft interior design incorporates lighter, flame-resistant polymer materials and engineered alloys for panels, seats and various components to reduce weight.

Advanced polymer materials with superior performance characteristics, including flame-resistance with non-toxic gases, have wide applicability in the construction industry. Plastic composite boards may be fabricated from a range of polymers, including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyamide (PA), which
