MAUS: Oh, we didn’t necessarily prepare a presentation, but any questions you guys have we would be more than happy to explain, but we are basically, we have a dumping truck --it’s a regular, what is it a--Chevy 3500--and we are actually going to be driving all the rubbish, every day, all the way into Kona. So we’re not actually storing it on the property; we’re going to be bringing it every day, as we get it. So that’s our small truck. And I guess there’s, from all the research we’ve done, there’s about 4,000 registered homes in Ocean View, so hopefully we get enough clientele to support us and to eventually have client, eventually have--I’m really nervous--eventually have people – BAKK: A customer base-- MAUS: Build a business, and have people that work under us, and create jobs and have more opportunities in Ocean View, in our community basically. BAKK: If I can bring it back just a little bit. We have lived in Ocean View on-and-off since 2009. Being a resident of Ocean View presents itself with unique challenges. The road systems are very steep, a lot of people, and if I may make a small clarification, the closest transfer station to Ocean View is the Wai‘ōhinu transfer station. There is not a transfer station, there is, yeah, on Saturdays there is a roll off that is brought into the community where residents can bring their rubbish for free. Being a very small roll off, there’s a long line, usually, and it’s very difficult to get your trash off-loaded there. So, the majority of people that deal with their rubbish in Ocean View bring it to Wai‘ōhinu, which is about 23 miles away from Ocean View, one way. So, basically in a nutshell, KRD would like the opportunity to relieve the residents of Ocean View from the obligation of having to transport their own rubbish in their own vehicles. Depending on, you know, what vehicles they may have, this presents its own challenges, especially if you have a small vehicle like ourselves. We have a very small car. We have to then put our trash inside the vehicle and drive it 23 miles to the transfer station. So basically again, in a nutshell, KRD will have a clientele basis and we have a copy of our customer contract if you guys would like to see that I also have a picture of the vehicle that we will be using. It’s a very small Chevy 3500. It’s got a relatively small- load capacity. We will be towing a small trailer in order to be able to pick up more rubbish at one time. We will then be taking the rubbish directly from the customer to a transfer, I’m sorry, a landfill in either Kona or Hilo. We believe that the majority of the time, we will be going into Kona because the landfill is easier to navigate. Our goal is to pick up the rubbish from the customer and transport it correctly to where it should, where it should go. I’m not sure if you guys are aware, but there are quite a few abandoned lots in Ocean View that have been turned into dump sites. We live relatively 4 EXHIBIT A
