SAFE HAVEN ENTERPRISES RELEVANT INFORMATION

• On April 10, 2003, the US Department of State (“DOS”) issued a Defense Priorities and Allocations System (“DPAS”) order rated “DO-H8 Priority” (“highest national priority”) to Safe Haven Enterprises (“Safe Haven”), which essentially had the effect of buying out all of Safe Haven’s existing private sector contracts for almost six years and directing 100% of Safe Haven’s expertise, resources and manufacturing capabilities to producing DOS-certified Forced Entry/Ballistic Resistant (FE/BR) Modular Buildings to support the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The purposes of DPAS are: (1) to ensure the timely availability of industrial resources to meet current national defense and emergency preparedness program requirements; and (2) to provide an operating system to support rapid industrial response in a national emergency. Safe Haven was granted this prestigious DPAS status because it had worked for years directly with the DOS and helped to create many of the DOS certification standards that are in place today. As a result, Safe Haven’s products can be found in many US Embassies (including Paris, Jerusalem and Beirut), US Consulates, US Government facilities and US Classified locations worldwide. Its FE/BR and BRM modular buildings have been tested under live fire in Iraq, as well as in chemical plant explosions in the USA and Canada.

• Safe Haven is currently opening a new Safe Haven approved, secure and licensed facility in Dubai in conjunction with FabTech International (www.fabtechint.com), the largest steel fabricator of oil and gas rigging and pipelines in the Middle East. FabTech will manufacture Safe Haven’s products under Safe Haven supervision in its huge Dubai facility at the Port of Jebal Ali.

• No one has ever been injured inside of any Safe Haven manufactured building.

• Currently, none of Safe Haven’s competitors manufacture competing products out of quarter-inch steel plate, choosing instead to utilize the less expensive 12 and 10 gauge steel.

equivalent price point as its competitors’ 1/8” and 1/16” steel (10 and 12 gauge respectively) versions.

• Currently, none of Safe Haven’s competitors hold a US Department of State Diplomatic Security certification to manufacture a six-sided steel enclosure with certified means for penetrations. In addition, Safe Haven holds certifications for permanent interconnection of buildings and stacking of buildings.

• Unlike its competitors, Safe Haven is also a Canadian Standards Association (CSA)/A660 Certified Manufacturer. This is the Canadian version of the International Organization of Standardization’s ISO-9000 certification. However, it is well known in the industry that the CSA is a much more inclusive and rigorous standard. The CSA-A660 Standard was developed to assist code enforcement officials in reviewing building permit submissions incorporating steel building systems and to help purchasers receive a quality certified building. As part of the CSA-A660 compliance, the manufacturer will provide a "Certificate of Design and Manufacturing Conformance" signed and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer for each building project. It is important to note that ISO certification, which Safe Haven’s competitors may utilize, does not satisfy the requirements of CSA-A660. ISO certification only verifies that a company can manufacture a product consistently. It does not address the suitability of that product, or if that product (i.e. a steel building system) has been designed in accordance with the applicable codes, or whether the staff is qualified to undertake the work. While the CSA-A660 certification, like ISO, includes a quality control audit, the CSA/A660 certification undertakes the additional step of an engineering design and personnel audit.

• Safe Haven FE/BR's are certified by the US Department of State Diplomatic Security Physical Security Division to a UL 752 level 8. Safe Haven is certified to a 60 minute forced entry level of resistance. Certification letters are available upon request.

• Portable Blast Resistant Modules (“BRMs”) have become an integral part of the onsite safety protocols as part of the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practices (“API RP”) 752 and 753 which, essentially, incorporate the use of portable BRMs as an integral part of the design, construction, maintenance and ongoing operation of a facility where potential hazards exist. Safe Haven’s FE/BRs and BRMs are certified API RP 752 and 753-compliant. API RP 752 and 753 were written with the purpose of providing guidance for reducing the risk to personnel

hazards. These are the guiding principles:

1. locate personnel away from covered process areas consistent with safe and effective operations;

2. minimize the use of occupied portable buildings near covered

process areas;

3. manage the occupancy of portable buildings, especially during periods of increased risk including unit start-up or planned shut- down operations;

4. design, construct, install, and maintain occupied portable buildings

to protect occupants against potential hazards; and

5. manage the use of portable buildings as an integral part of the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of a facility.

For purposes of example, the following represents some of these factors as they relate to Safe Haven’s Blast Resistant Modular and Forced Entry/Ballistic Resistant buildings, Safe Haven’s blast resistant doors, Safe Haven’s HVAC system and Safe Haven general product line and technology:

i) Safe Haven’s Blast Resistant Modular (BRM) building

The Safe Haven BRM is designed using linear dynamic analyses methods that were performed by experienced engineers using methods described in "Design of Blast- Resistant Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities' by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), UFC 3-340- 02 - "Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions," and others. The BRM structure is all steel welded construction, utilizing 6 X 6 and 4 x 4 Tubular Steel for framing and ¼" steel plate for the walls and roof. Further, the BRM is fully insulated, and its exterior is primed and coated with ceramic paint for insulation purposes and then top coated per customer. Its interior walls consist of 20 gauge galvanized metal studs with pre- formed top and bottom plate and a suspended acoustical

consisting of commercial grade 12" x 12" tile flooring and 4"

vinyl cove base trim.

ii) Safe Haven's Forced Entry/Ballistic Resistant (FE/BR)

Building

The Safe Haven FE/BR is certified under standard SD- STD-01.01 revision G by the US Department Of State's (DOS) Bureau of Diplomatic Security in 15 and 60 minute forced-entry and ballistic-resistant configurations. It contains ballistic steel on all six (6) sides, inside and out, and utilizes painted steel walls and floors.

iii) Safe Haven’s Model SP-60R-SHE-100 Door

Safe Haven’s Model SP-60R-SHE-100 Door, which was tested and passed by its certified Laboratory according to the US Department of State’s demanding requirements, has a double armor plated design that can easily withstand 60 minutes of concentrated attack.

iv) Safe Haven’s HVAC System

Safe Haven offers, as an additional option for its FE/BRs and BRMs, a Chem Bio Filtration System as part of its HVAC technology that filters out from the air supply poisons from chemical bombs.

• Safe Haven is an SBA-certified Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Woman Business Enterprise (WBE), with its main office located in a depressed HUBZone, which entitles Safe Haven to business and procurement advantages. Safe Haven is also the largest employer in Jennings, Louisiana. The company enjoys tax advantages and other benefits that further enable it to be very competitive in the marketplace while at the same time helping to improve the local community.

• Safe Haven was rewarded with an expedited WBE certification by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey because of the quality of its business and products.
