Section 10

Sector 10, Inc. (OTCBB: SECT) provides solutions to weaknesses and threats in public and private safety and security as well as to World-wide disasters and large-scale humanitarian relief. Sector 10′s mission is to become the world’s leading provider of mobile and stationary emergency life response equipment. Sector 10 proposes to restructure a fragmented industry with its globally patented Mobile and Stationary Response Unit (“MRU” and “SRU”) product lines and “save lives”.

In 2007, Sector 10′s growth strategy identified numerous opportunities nationally and around the world. The strategy remains to: continue to invest in management and business development, expand the number of clients the company covers; be more effective in delivering the entire Firm to their clients; effectively manage risk, capital and expenses; and further strengthen their culture.

Global Perspective

Sector 10 intends on expanding its global presence, bringing premier capabilities to bear where their clients need them. Twenty five countries have called Sector 10 with interest in their services. There have never been more opportunities to serve their clients around the world. Positioning the company to meet their client’s needs and deliver value is at the heart of this strategy.

Focused Strategies

Sector 10 plans to deliver on the US market opportunity and leverage local knowledge as they expanded their global footprint. The company will continue to develop their platform in United States, strengthening their Management and establishing their investments opportunities.

The company’s secondary focus will be to expand their global client base, building new trusted advisor relationships. As Sector 10 extends their global reach, the company will strive to remain rooted in their core competencies – including the effective management of risk, capital and expenses. Finally, as Sector 10 moves into new geographies, they are mindful of the need to continually strengthen the Firm’s culture.

With these goals in mind, in 2008 and 2009, Sector 10 hopes to be better positioned than ever to seize market share and new opportunities globally.

Growing Shareholder Value

Sector 10 remains fully committed to its operating principles – with an opportunity to dominate the emergency response field, and to provide a service to a consumer that remains unaddressed.

Sector 10 is in the right place at the right time to lead a extremely fragmented industry and dominating a tremendous growth opportunity. Tge company’s Client focus, doing the right thing, commitment to excellence and teamwork, ensuring a meritocracy, respecting each other, smart risk management, building and protecting their brand are key focuses in the company’s growth and maximizing of shareholder values.

Company History

From a common sense approach Pericles DeAvila assembled a team at Sector 10 to analyze emergencies on a global scale and how specific disasters and response levels affected human life. The company’s management asked themselves questions. How existing response systems work or fail? How do local, national or communities abroad work or fail in responding to disasters? How humanitarian issues are addressed and without question, victims need tools to help themselves in the initial and critical moment, at the incident scenes. Often before response teams are able to arrive, usually 48 to 96 hours at a minimum a delayed response time currently expected by national response teams.

Sector 10 knows that on arrival the initial focus is to assess the situation and determine who gets what in their limited supply of resources. In a simple example, wouldn’t it have been nice in the darkness of NYC if light kits, reflective vests, and other emergency supplies where available to individuals in pre-deployed locations in their workplace to help themselves and others. Would it have helped curb the respiratory illness now affecting the responders and those that lent a hand on 9/11. That in-depth analysis over the years gave rise to Pericles Logix System, which gave rise to the following conclusions:

The need to pre-deploy an integrated system that allows distributing PPE, emergency response equipment and communications in building structures and public facilities especially within large city center. A system that would make it easy to conduct a floor to floor assessment within high-rises buildings and allow the emergency responders the ability to help and address the needs of the affected in a more efficient and cohesive manner. Basic pre-deployed assets to enhance the escape from building entrapment and to enable better extrication and treatment of victims at the scene. Adding the level of communications available within the system will give the emergency response community the ability to link with the private sector expanding everyone’s capabilities for success and self-sufficiency and increasing the life saving capability and survivability of the affected is a leap forward of imaginable scales. A new picture is painted, not only is there a coordinated effort immediately apparent, also the availability of needed tools in pre-deployed areas become essential.

In time of natural or man made disasters around the world or even when a Nation or anyone exert their power to wage war against a Country the first thing accomplished is usually the destruction of the infrastructure and their ability to self sustain followed by the urgency of humanitarian aid to combat hunger, lack of water, escalating diseases followed by a call for global help to reinstate communications and the ability to provide health-care, a process that can take years. the Pericles Logix System a 21st century solution to million year old problem and its capabilities to establish an instant infrastructure with water purification, mobile clinics, communications with telemedicine capabilities, portable villages, capacities for remote schooling and vocational training, portable HIV testing and medical units such as dental and mammograms is a step in the right direction to address these very serious issues In effect it is a deliverable plug and play multi-functional systems or integration platform to aid in relief of all sizes from a vaccine need to a refugee or displaced population camp with multi infrastructure capabilities Postwar animosity seems to the prevailing response to liberation wouldn’t make a deference in the hearts of the people of Iraq or Afghanistan if they could see the instant fruits of their liberators. A product and system they can continually use to support their communities as a long term solution to current and future needs.

Products

Sector 10 provides a cohesive solution to the disaster at hand through innovative Stationary Response Units (SRU), Stationary Response Units with Media (SRU-Media) and Mobile Response Units (MRU).

SRU and SRU-Media provide pre-deployed resources as a way to save lives, avert injuries and reduce liability. These systems provide first responders and building occupants with first aid supplies, life saving equipment, occupant tracking through a real-time 3D interface, and emergency communications.

SRU-Media, in addition to the multiple benefits listed above, also offer messaging components to generate revenue channels during times of normal operations. SRU-Media include a flat screen video monitor that can be used for advertising, corporate branding and other messaging needs. The revenue model more than offsets the cost of the units and converts a non-revenue, must have device into a completely interactive revenue-generating product.

MRU’s provide the modularity, mobility, customization, and personalization to first responders when they arrive at a disaster site effectively providing a “portable village” — a desperately needed safe environment for victims and emergency professionals so that lives can be saved. These Response Units offer shelter, utilities, comforts, supplies and equipment.

Emergency Stationary Response Units – (SRU)

The SRU mobile Response unit is a stationary response center containing the essential equipment needed for disasters and crisis situations. The unit can be placed near stairways, elevators, and transportation terminals. The SRU units utilize the Pericles Logix System to deliver real time information, evacuation status, communications, and supplies the facilities to aid victims in crisis.

Emergency Stationary Response Units Media – (SRU-Media)

Sector 10 is integrating a new media platform with its SRU product line, called SRU-Media. These units provide all the pre-deployed resources found in Sector 10′s SRU, while offering the ability display various types of advertising, search results, corporate branding, AMBER Alerts, public service announcements, venue directory services, and real-time evacuation instructions.

SRU-Media are placed in high traffic public venues such as airports, convention centers, mass transit stations, entertainment venues, sports arenas and stadiums, and retail locations – wherever the public is found in masses.

These are pre-deployed life saving devices that generate revenue during times of normal operations. The advertising dollars created can more than offset the expense of these multi-purpose units.

Sector 10 has product placement programs that can place SRU-Media in high traffic areas at discounted prices or maintenance only cost to the end user. With the widespread adoption of pre-deployed emergency response systems, Sector 10 is building one of the largest proprietary digital networks in the world.

Emergency Mobile Response Units – (MRU)

Permanently placed MRU’s on location provide the fastest and most efficient security and first aid, working with the incident commander to build a unified command center.

MRU’s are rush delivered to a disaster site to enable disasters to be quelled and victims to treated and saved.

The MRU mobile Response unit is a self-contained response center armed with all the essential equipment needed for disasters and crisis situations. The mobile unit can be delivered to a crisis site to administer first-aid and other medical needs. The unit is deliverable by air-drop or truck hitch mounted lift system.

Markets

Public Safety

Sector 10 provides a mulit-disciplinary team of experts to assist a community or state in assessing need versus budget constraints, then devising large city interoperability / 3D Community Grids and ultimately preparing for and pre-deploying Sector 10 products.

High Risk Areas: Airports, College or Business Campus, Stadiums, Shopping Malls, Subways

Public areas with a high volume of people traffic are prime targets for terrorism or mass casualty incidents. The SRU-Media was designed to fill this need. Making life saving equipment immediately available.

Hospitals

Hospital ER units and ambulances are susceptible to “contamination” from chemicals, viruses, parasites, and other foreign items that challenge the sterilized environment of their operations. When these units are contaminated they must be taken out of service immediately for re-sterilization. This causes two major problems for the emergency service providers. First, there is a tremendous expense to re-sterilizing the units. Second, taking these units out of service takes scarce emergency response resources away from a carefully balanced plan forecasted by emergency managers. Sector 10 mid-size units provide a mobile Decon Shower Unit with the necessary equipment to decontaminate people and equipment before putting them into an ambulance or admitting to a hospital ER unit.

Schools

Schools from K-12 to university have been the unfortunate sites for man-made and natural disasters. The world has not yet forgotten the shootings at Columbine High School or the Northridge earthquake that leveled buildings. Each area of the country has a unique emergency threat based on its own climate and geographical location. When teachers and students exit school buildings after an emergency, it poses an immediate threat of student containment. There are also immediate needs for food, water, first aid, etc. Because Sector 10′s pallet sized unit is stored outside the building on a concrete slab, it can be opened immediately by authorized personnel to inflate a student containment tent and distribute food, water and first aid supplies stored in the MRU. Individual mid-sized units can be distributed inside the school and can easily be moved outside, as needed.

Corporate Safety

Sector10 provides a mulit-disciplinary team of experts to assist corporations in taking their written safety plans to actually response capabilities.

Industrial Buildings

Construction sites and industrial buildings have compliance requirements by several government agencies, including OSHA, EPA, etc. Issues of concern range from safety to emergency preparedness. Emergency warning systems are usually in place, as well as a location for first aid supplies, but these systems are incomplete and the locations are difficult to find. Personal hygiene on a construction site is a typical problem, because running water is not available. Due to the large amounts of chemicals and large machinery at industrial sites, injuries and deaths are a considerable risk. Sector 10′s mid-sized MRU units conform to government agencies’ regulations and are customized to respond to each risk event forecasted by the customer. Due to the size of the MRU, and the emergency strobe light located on top of the unit, it is easily visible to victims and professional support teams.

Office Buildings

Few situations are more terrifying than being trapped in a burning building, which has lost all communications, is rapidly filling with smoke and without any established means for escape.

U.S. buildings need to be equipped with MRUs containing personal protection equipment (PPE). This would include special “smoke hoods” to protect people from deadly fumes. To survive a fire, a person must maintain a clear source of breathable air. A smoke hood is a positive pressure device which keeps toxic gases from entering. It also has a filter design that prevents obstruction from smoke particles, reducing the effects of claustrophobia.

Fires destroy phone lines. This requires independent communications devices for each floor of a building, to allow emergency communications to a disaster incident commander on the ground. The specific target market is the multi-story office building market which are at least 5 stories in height. Sector 10′s small unit provides the needed emergency supplies on a custom basis for each floor of a multi-story building. This creates a multi-unit sale scenario.

Most fire deaths are not caused by burns, but by smoke inhalation. Often smoke incapacitates so quickly that people are overcome and can’t make it to an otherwise accessible exit. The synthetic materials commonplace in today’s homes produce especially dangerous substances. As a fire grows inside a building, it will often consume most of the available oxygen, slowing the burning process. This “incomplete combustion” results in toxic gases.

Mines

Half a mile or mile down in the earth where time is of the essence in any incident and when the unthinkable happens, life and safety are #1.

Humanitarian Relief / World-wide Disasters

Sector 10′s vision spans far beyond the needs of the First World. The scenes of refugees in Afghanistan, Central America, and Africa haunt each of us. The people of these regions suffer immensely in disasters as they have no resources to fall back upon. The Company has a well-developed plan for relieving some of the pain in these Third World countries through the humanitarian deployment of the MRU based technology.

Sector 10′s unique product line allows charitable organizations to quickly solve emergency response problems for third world disaster situations. MRUs can be quickly deployed anywhere in the world by air shipment, even ahead of the emergency teams that are also being deployed to the stricken area. Therefore, the units can be set up as portable villages offering safe havens, supply centers and decontamination facilities for victims. This is very similar to disaster response in the United States, although the supplies would be geared to third world situations and the particular needs of the donating organizations. Sector 10 would therefore be a supplier into the world humanitarian supply network. Although the market is relatively small, the impact is very great in terms of product visibility, wide spread distribution, and good will.

During the first three years, the company would market primarily into the U.S. based organizations such as corporate and private foundations, church relief agencies, U.S. military, government relief agencies and individual donors. Longer term, specialized MRUs could be developed to address typical third world health issues that are non-disaster related, such as dental and eye care needs. These units would be specially equipped for the medical teams serving these needs on a temporary basis worldwide.

Sector 10 also is committing 10% of net earnings to the improvement of medical goodwill globally through the deployment of medical MRU’s.
