Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM believes our future cars should save even more
energy and produce even less pollution. Led by Jack Anderson, mechanical engineer and
environmental guru; Jim Handy, public relations consultant; and Frank Lee Good,
environmental and corporate attorney, Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM is going to
climb to the top of the auto sales industry. We invite everyone to join us in driving this exciting
new technology.
Our strategic focus will attract courageous early-adopters who envision themselves as "energy
pioneers," the younger generation, and environmentalists. Each of these groups has
outstanding projected growth rates, particularly the younger generation. Environmental Engines
Toyota Honda GM holds a competitive edge by specializing in zero emissions vehicles and has
franchised with every auto manufacturer that could offer any competition. Environmental
Engines Toyota Honda GM will stand out as the preferable alternative to fossil fuel burning
transportation systems. As visibility of our vehicles increases, sales among environmentalists
and the younger generation will increase by 50% each month thereafter.
Profits will initially be repaid to the business to finance any overhead costs related to
purchasing inventory, then to the rapidly expanding photovoltaic recharging station and
mechanic's garage, then to pay off the initial investments. Inventory will be purchased in
advance to stock the showroom floor and to outfit every executive, sales person, and mechanic
with a zero emissions vehicle to drive around town at their own cost. Their savings earned by
investing in a zero emissions vehicle will spread by word-of-mouth, attract more customers,
and bolster future growth at the same high rate of 50%.
The highlights chart that follows affirms how exciting an opportunity this really is: with GM an
anticipated a 50% monthly increase in sales starting small (selling six cars in the first month);
a modest gross margin within the first year, rising in the second and net profits being healthy in
years two and three.
Not only will the sky be cleaner through the success of our company, but the sky is the limit in
terms of our potential market dominance as well. All of these profits can then be fed back into
research and development opening the doorway to a secondary market role for Environmental
Engines Toyota Honda GM as a patent holding company and clearing house.

1.3 Mission
The mission of Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM is to provide early adopters and the
younger generation within the Ann Arbor community with environmentally-friendlier automobile
choices and to convert traditional new automobile buyers into conscientious consumers who are
aware of external as well as internal costs associated with automobile transportation. We will
attract courageous early-adopters who envision themselves as "energy pioneers," the younger
generation, and environmentalists. When we adhere to these principles everything will fall into
place.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM is an automobile dealership based in the Ann Arbor
area. It is founded as a consumer-oriented and environmentally-friendly dealership, and is
emphasizing consumer education to differentiate itself from less environmentally-concerned
dealerships.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's start-up costs will include dealership construction,
all equipment needed for the office, legal costs, consulting costs, website creation, and
advertising.
The inventory will be the largest chunk of start-up expenses. Start-up assets will include a
mixed floor inventory of 10 hybrid and zero-emissions automobiles from Honda, Toyota, and
GM. Construction costs will be second and will include a show room, three offices, fully-stocked
mechanic's garage, photovoltaic cells (charged by solar panels on the roof of the dealership),
car wash, and automobile lot. The office equipment includes three computers, a fax machine,
copier, four cellular phones, office supplies, additional land line, a DSL connection, and office
furniture.
Start-up expenses will also include advertising. Four methods will be used: an interactive B-2-B
website, the Yellow Pages, local newspapers, and direct marketing to local government,
consumer-protection and environmental organizations.

Chart: Start-up
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM believes that driving our zero emissions vehicles and
hybrid automobiles around will be the best way to get other early-adopters, the younger
generation, and environmentalists involved with cleaner forms of transportation.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM will showcase America's most popular alternative
vehicle, the four-door Toyota Prius. It runs on gasoline, like a regular car, but it also has an
electric motor under the hood, which supplements the gas engine and sometimes takes over
completely. The gas engine shuts off automatically whenever the Prius comes to a stop. The
electric motor powers it up when you press on the accelerator. Unlike every other car on the
highway, the Prius actually gets better mileage in stop-and-go city driving that while cruising at
high speed. It's in that stop-and-go driving than the car exhibits its most remarkable feature:
whenever it switches to electric power, the Prius is dead quiet.
Since Toyota introduced the Prius to the United States two years ago, it has sold around 20,000
of the compact cars. Demand still exceeds supply, and other auto makers, like Honda and GM,
have hybrid cars available or on the drawing board.
Page 6
Environmental Engines
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM believes our future cars should save even more
energy and produce even less pollution. To emphasize the point, members of the board of
directors will drive around in a totally electric automobile borrowed from the showroom - an all-
electric Toyota RAV4 sports utility vehicle. Instead of plugging into a standard outlet that
supplies electricity from a coal or gas power plant, Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's
automobiles' batteries will be recharged using photovoltaic cells - solar power. A solar-powered,
five passenger electric car like this conserves energy and our environment.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's customers can be divided into three groups: early-
adopters, the younger generation, and cost-conscious-new-automobile-buyers.
1. Early-adopters. Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's first customers will likely be
early-adopters. The reason for this is that these people will eagerly seek out the risks in
purchasing an automobile that operates on alternative fuels in exchange for the status of
being an automobile pioneer. This type of customer will range widely in age but will share
an interest in automobile engineering and maintenance. Therefore, these customers will be
most easily accessed by advertising in magazines marketed to automobile enthusiasts,
engineers, hobbyists, mechanics and scientists. Other members of this customer-group will
be attracted by consumer protection reports that have given favorable ratings to our
products.
2. The younger generation. The younger generation will be likely to purchase zero emission
automobiles because these automobiles affect their future. These automobiles will not
pollute their air or guzzle their gas. The reason for this is that after past generations have
ignored the warning signs of global warning, the younger generations are now witnessing
the cumulative and destructive effects that carbon-based-fuel systems are having on the
environment and global eco-political structures.
3. Environmentalists. Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's customers will also include
environmentalists. This category of customer exercises their purchasing power for the
obvious environmental benefits and future rewards of zero emissions transportation
systems. Therefore, these customers will be most easily accessed by direct marketing
campaigns to local conservation groups, outdoors athletic clubs, and environmentally-
sensitive political parties.
The younger generation. Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's will be targeting urban
youths between the ages of 14 and 27; who are athletically or academically active; come from
upper middle to upper class homes (household incomes over $50,000); tend to make big ticket
purchases; and need individual transportation.

Environmental Engines
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's will be targeting early-adopters for four reasons.
1. Early-adopters will eagerly seek out the risks in purchasing an automobile that operates on
alternative fuels in exchange for the status of being an automobile pioneer.
2. Favorable reviews by these customers will lend credibility to zero emissions vehicles as not
only environmentally-friendly, but also as the economically preferable transportation option.
4. The younger generation will be attracted to zero-emissions vehicles once they see early-
adopters driving these automobiles around.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's will be targeting the younger generation for three
reasons.
2. The younger generation will be likely to purchase an automobile of some sort between age
sixteen and twenty-one. If the younger generation buys into the former gasoline-based
automobile market, there will be more gas-burning vehicles on the road. More gas guzzling
vehicles will pollute the air. Therefore, converting the next wave of vehicle consumers to a
non-fossil-fuel-dependent form of transportation will more likely achieve Environmental
Engines Toyota Honda GM's mission of a zero-emission transportation system nationwide.
3. Most importantly, investing in the future customer base of the younger generation will
ensure exponential increase in Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's sales for years to
come.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's will be targeting environmentalists for two reasons.
1. These people will accept the risks in purchasing an automobile that operates on alternative
fuels in exchange for the obvious environmental benefits and future rewards of zero
emissions transportation systems.

Environmental Engines
The automobile industry is diversified into many large and small sub-groups, each supplied with
high concentrations of capital. Many sub-groups enjoy support from classic car and eclectic
engineering enthusiasts.
Services are bought and sold upon word-of-mouth recommendations and product image.
Specific competitors in the niche industry of zero emission vehicles will be franchised and
supportive of Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM.
Auto sales is about transportation for the individual. Customers seem to choose their vehicle
based on their self image. One automobile maker's success depends on image and trends in
one part of the market, and on advertising and word-of-mouth recommendations in another.
Visibility, delivery, reliability, and features are critical. While price is less a factor in this
industry than delivery and reliability, materials used by manufacturers in volume must come
from reliable sources because the niche industry of zero emission vehicles should not be subject
to risky fluctuations in wholesale and subsequently retail values. Features will also be important
because our vehicles must be viewed as the highest technology.
Target customers choose between competing vehicles based on brand name image and word-
of-mouth. Vehicle performance and image are major factors in developing word-of-mouth
recommendations. Customers like that their choice of zero emissions vehicles protects the
environment.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM will grow from three executives plus a small group of
three sales persons and one mechanic, all of who will bring their professional expertise and
contacts to provide a solid foundation of connections for future marketing ventures.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM's media strategy will focus on direct marketing to
local groups and clubs, as well as advertising in magazines. Sales prospects will be finalized in
person, through mail-order, over the phone, and via the Internet.
As visibility of our vehicles increases, sales among environmentalists and the younger
generation will increase by 50% each month thereafter.
Page 10
Environmental Engines
The sales strategy of Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM will optimize selling by focusing
on serving the immediate needs of the customer - foster the "energy pioneer" image, individual
transportation, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and minimizing the automobile's impact on
the environment. Informed by the customer's immediate needs, our sales team will focus on
informing the customer of the benefits to driving our vehicles.
Sales prospects will be finalized in person, through mail-order, over the phone, and via the
Internet. Sales people will be compensated with a two percent commission. Sales persons will
be trained in Web-based publishing and database management to optimize order processing.
Prices, delivery and conditions of sale are negotiable within the bounds of profitability.
Beginning in January of the first year sales will start small (2 Toyota Priuses, 1 RAV4, 1 Honda)
among the early-adopters because the general market has not yet been developed.
As visibility of our vehicles increases, sales among environmentalists and the younger
generation will increase by 20% each month thereafter. As word spreads, this rate of increase
will maintain steady for at least ten years because the younger generation, one of our target
markets, will only continue to grow.
This high rate of growth is believable because the industry is in its start-up stage and will not
reach saturation at any foreseeable point in the future. Furthermore, if gasoline prices will
continue to rise our non-fossil fuel burning vehicles will only become more attractive. If gasoline
prices do not rise, then our sales team will focus on the obvious environmental benefits and
future rewards of zero emissions transportation systems.

Furthermore, our vehicles will readily attract new investment because we introduce the concept
of sustainability to individual transportation systems by bringing fuel efficiency, economy of
size, and environmentally friendlier alternatives to the market.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM will host a site on the World Wide Web to serve as an
educational tool, offering a menu of custom vehicle options to potential walk-in and telephone
customers and as a B-2-B ordering site for a few very reliable purchasers, such as large
corporations and municipalities.
The menu of custom vehicle options will require as little bandwidth as possible while providing
as much photographic and text detail as possible to the potential customer. These potential
customers will be the early-adopters who will encounter the exciting prospect of being an
energy-pioneer, the younger generation surfing for the next cool look, and the environmentalist
in search of alternative transportation options.
The B-2-B site will be accessible through an account number and will allow large corporations
and municipalities with large bandwidth capacity to design large orders of vehicles to facilitate
customized mass production orders to be forwarded on to Toyota, Honda and GM. Our B-2-B
site can pivot off of the success of Toyota's, Honda's and GM's online ordering.

The founders and executive board of Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM include such
industry leaders as Jack Anderson, Jim Handy, and Frank Lee Good.
Jack Anderson, the majority owner, is renowned in both scientific and environmentalist
communities throughout the nation. Jack Anderson earned two degrees from the University of
Michigan the first in mechanical engineering, the second in business. Though Jack Anderson
excelled academically, his sites were set even higher as president of the University of Michigan
Mountaineering Club. Through his contacts in the mountaineering club Jack Anderson also
developed an interest in consumer protection and environmentalism and served the
Environmentalists For Future Occupationally Responsible Technicians (EFFORT) as treasurer.
Through Jack's activism in EFFORT, he met Jim Handy and Frank Lee Good.
Jim Handy, public relations consultant, and Frank Lee Good, environmental and corporate
attorney, can lend their professional services to the success of Environmental Engines Toyota
Honda GM and are also vendors of outside services through which they may also lend clients
and contacts for marketing purposes.
Jack Anderson will act as manager for the first three years for a minimal salary of $36,000 in
exchange for his commitment of energy and know-how.
The executive staff will be compensated for their services by a return of profits on their
investment.
Three sales staff will work the sales floor for the first year compensated solely by commissions
earned on a 5% pay scale.
Two mechanics, specializing in alternative energy vehicles, will be paid $3,200 monthly. The
mechanics' salaries will steadily increase every year by 5% to reflect the increased human
capital acquired by the mechanics' maintenance experience with our vehicles and our
photovoltaic cells.
The maintenance and secretarial staff will take care of administrative matters and sales room
decorum.

Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM is expected to grow in sales at a rate of 20% per
month, starting from the conservative estimate of six cars sold. The financing will come initially
from the executive board, allowing plenty of opportunity for credit to cover unforeseen
expenses, if necessary. Growth will be rapid and produce profits almost immediately.
Profits will initially be repaid to the business to finance any overhead costs related to
purchasing inventory and to pay down the principal on outstanding debt, then to the rapidly
expanding photovoltaic recharging station and mechanic's garage, then to pay off the initial
investments.
Inventory will be purchased in advance to stock the showroom floor and to outfit every
executive, sales person, and mechanic with a zero emissions vehicle to drive around town at
their own cost. Their savings earned by investing in a zero emissions vehicle will spread by
word-of-mouth, attract more customers, and bolster future growth at the same high rate of
20%.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM has made some important assumptions about the
costs of building business capacity and acquiring inventory. We will build our business capacity
steadily based on the assumption of roughly $175,000 in annual payroll, 10% current and long-
term interest rates, a 30% tax rate, and an available inventory totaling $9,616,733. Assuming
demand does not outstrip supply, these conservative assumptions project immediate success
for Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM.
While we are prepared for our manufacturers to release new products during the next 12
months, drastic increases in the price of inventory could threaten the stability of our business.
Such fluctuations would only be threatening if they were industry-wide (i.e., Toyota, Honda and
GM all doubled the dealer's wholesale cost of purchasing inventory.) Barring monopolistic
manipulations of the supply of inventory, success is just around the corner.

For our break-even analysis, we assume normal monthly running costs per month, as shown
below, which include our full payroll, lease, marketing, utilities, and an estimation of other
running expences. Payroll alone, at our present run rate, is only about $48,000 for two
mechanics while all sales staff operate on commission.
Margins are harder to assume as the average per unit costs do not include marketing costs,
promotions, or salesman commissions. Our overall average per unit revenue over per unit costs
is based on past sales from other dealerships. We hope to attain a margin that high in the
future.
The chart shows what we need to sell per month to break-even, according to these
assumptions. This is less than one percent of our planned 2003 sales level, and significantly
below last year's average dealership sales level, so we believe we can maintain it.

Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM anticipates a heady monthly increase in sales starting
small (selling 6 cars in the first month). The gross margin within the first year will be modest,
rising in the second and third year.
Key budget items will include salary, rent, sales and marketing expenses, utilities (including
costs of photovoltaic cell maintenance), insurance, taxes and licensing.
Net profits will reach outstanding levels in the first year, escalating in the second and the third
year! All of these profits can then be fed back into research and development opening the
doorway to a secondary market role for Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM as a patent
holding company and clearing house.

The variance between our ratios and those of other auto sales industries is a function of the
exact nature of Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM.
Where market saturation has stifled our competitors' sales growth, our sales growth
reaches respecatable levels after the first year because this is a pre-boom market.
Environmental Engines Toyota Honda GM is an industry-pioneer in an auto sales market
that is about to experience tremendous growth.
Where our accounts receivable seem high relative to our competitors, we have targeted the
younger generation as one of our key growth markets and have calculated a high ratio of
sales on credit accordingly.
Our inventory will remain low, overcoming a weakness of other auto sales companies
because we emphasize customized vehicle design, ensuring each vehicle satisfies every
customer and limiting our overhead in inventory.
Each of these values are acceptable, and in fact, preferable to the ratios demonstrated by
industry competitors.
