$4 million project in Peru

The project in Peru has not been funded. 

·       
Order delays for farming and railroad project 

While management and its partners continue an ongoing
dialogue with responsible agencies, the railroad construction project has been
delayed for at least two years; therefore, management is focused of projects
closer to being finalized.  
 

·       
Project funding

Management is working with a New York-based financing
company and Chinese-based equipment financing groups.

Crude oil project

Management is collaborating with an oil drilling
company with the goal of forming an alliance with the government of The Congo for
in-country drilling of crude oil.
 

·       
African partners

The company’s partners are local businesses in both The
Congo and Niger.  These partners are AmeraMex’s
connection to the government officials in these areas.  Management has visited both countries on two
occasions and believes they are close reaching an agreement on more than one
project. 
 

·       
U.S. marketplace for sales and rental

The U.S. market for new equipment has shown some growth
but the rental market is beginning to take off as construction companies prefer
rental of necessary equipment versus capital outlay. 
 

·       
$2 million equipment bid from U.S. port

The bid has not been awarded as all ports within the
purchasing group must be in agreement and have monies allocated to purchase the
equipment. 
 

·       
Progress marketing refurbished equipment

The market for refurbished equipment continues to grow
and all but seven of the 18 refurbished container handlers purchased in
September 2013 have been sold.
 

·       
Acquisition strategy

Management had identified several candidates for an
acquisition/merger strategy to provide diverse equipment and to support and
expand sales territories.  When the U.S.
economy began to falter, a decision was made to forego the acquisition strategy
and put energies into expanding the company’s international presence in
resource-rich countries.
