We build homes; we build life on land

All Righ ts reserved . Cop yright Makan Construction 2005

Overview:The creation of work force housing is one of the most compelling drivers for Makan Constructions (the Companys) targeted markets given their close proximity to NYC. Work force housing is specifically targeted to teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters, government officials, administrative personnel and others than have been frozen out of the housing market for the last decade. With the prevailing general recession, coupled with decreased land prices and lower housing and construction costs, pricing of such homes has become affordable. Subdivisions in the Companys targeted areas that were commanding home prices ranging from $650,000 to $900,000, inclusive of $280,000 to $350,000 per lot costs, have declined dramatically to $70,000 or less per lot (improved). This enables the Company to decrease prices by more than $200,000 per house while still increasing their profit margins. The Company has been actively developing homes in infill locations where some un-built lots were still remaining in new subdivisions and has demonstrated the efficiency and profitability of their highly adaptive business model by selling homes at a high velocity. Many large-scale builders have been forced to retrench from the housing markets in the Companys targeted areas over the past twelve months. Their inventories were simply too large to manage and they have been forced consolidate, write down projects and restructure their credit lines. As a result, they were forced to begin, and continue to, sell lots at substantially discounted prices, creating a tremendous opportunity for the Company to take advantage of the lesser competition and enable the Company to provide a high quality, compellingly priced product for first time homebuyers. These troubled builders were constructing luxury for-sale homes at the $650,000-$700,000 price range in the same neighborhoods and areas where the Company is now building move up homes priced at less than $400,000. Further, our new consumer financing incentives, including the $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers, has served to open up the market for buyers who were historically priced out. Because of the opportunistic buying opportunities that are constantly presenting themselves, along with the Companys focus on work force housing, the Company is able to generate profits in excess of 28% of the gross cost. Given the number of very favorable opportunities the Company is currently seeing, they are actively seeking a financial partner who will put them in a position to act on more of these situations. The Company is relatively flexible on structure and would consider investmentAll Righ ts reserved . Cop yright Makan Construction 2005

partners at the corporate or individual project level.

Company Overview:Makan Construction, a family owned and operated business, has been operating for more than 20 years and has a growing reputation as one of the top home builders in New York State and the Hudson Valley Region. The Company began as an engineering, procurement and management (EPM) firm, and over time has evolved into one of the leading land developers and builders of single-family home sub division projects within the markets they operate in. Since the Companys inception and subsequent transition into land development and home building, their reputation for award-winning designs, quality construction and unparalleled customer service has made Makan Construction the homebuilder of choice in the Hudson Valley. David Makan, the majority shareholder and CEO, has more than 24 years experience in the residential development business. Davids experience and ability to react to market demands has enabled the Company to continue growing during this latest real estate downturn. The Company continues to grow by building quality single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums that accommodate every lifestyle and budget. In the last several years, the Company has completed more than 11 different residential developments, incorporating more than 170 homes, townhomes and condos, with prices ranging from $300,000 to more than $1,000,000. The Company creates value and quality in each home that it builds. The Company has developed a wide variety of custom market homes with fully approved plans that can be built on a range of terrains, significantly reducing architectural and pre-productions costs. This enables the Company to offer a very high quality product to their customer at a value oriented price point, and to achieve significant sales velocity when marketing and selling out their residential development projects. The Company has demonstrated great success over the last couple of years by anticipating market, and demand changes, and being able to stay ahead of the curve. The Companys dynamic and flexible business model, coupled with their market foresight, has enabled the Company to act opportunistically, exploiting current market conditions and the prevailing dislocations in the market, by acquiring full-approved sites at substantial discounts to market from both large, regional and national developers who have had to pull back their highAll Righ ts reserved .

cost operations and developments and local competitors that have been forced to exit the market completely as a result of financial hardship. This business philosophy and flexible operating model have allowed the Company to remain extremely profitable.

Hudson Valley Area:The Hudson Valley refers to the valley of the Hudson River and its adjacent communities in New York State, generally from northern Westchester County northward to the cities of Albany and Troy. Historically a cradle of European settlement in the northeastern United States and a strategic battleground in colonial wars, it now consists of suburbs of the metropolitan area of New York City at its southern end, shading into rural territory, including "exurbs," farther north.

The crowding and high cost of living associated with the New York metropolitan area and its adjacent suburbs has led increasing numbers of people to move from these densely populated areas to the Hudson Valley, including parts as far north as greater Poughkeepsie, and commute into New York City to work. This demand for housing has resulted in increased residential development, and a significant increase in housing costs in the lower- and mid-Hudson Valley regions. Along with this residential development has come commercial development such as shopping malls, and other landmarks of suburbia and urban sprawl. The Hudson Valley is generally divided into three regions: Lower, Middle and Upper. The Lower Hudson region is comprised on Westchester, Rockland and Putnam Counties and NY and Bergen County in NJ. The Middle Hudson region is comprised of Dutchess, Orange and Ulster Counties in NY. The Company is almost exclusively focused on projects within Putnam, Orange and Dutchess Counties given their close proximity to Manhattan and their favorable demographics.

Competitive Landscape / Projects:Over the last eighteen months, many large, regional and national homebuilders have been forced to retrench from the Hudson Valley markets. In addition, many local homebuilders in the area have gone out of business all together. This has created a tremendous opportunity for the Company to purchase tracts of land from these financially troubled homebuilders at distressed prices and develop and build homes at high profit margins. Some builders still remain active in the Hudson Valley area, and the below charts sets forth their projects. As evidenced by the chart below, there are very few, if any, projects that are truly competitive with the price points at which the Company offers their homes.

Funding Opportunities:Goshen Meadows, Goshen, New York The Company has just gone into contract on Goshen Meadows for the development and construction of a 34-lot single-family subdivision. The price point on the planned homes is estimated to be $299,000, which will ensure that the project is sold out quickly. Based on the Companys historical track record, they estimate to complete the project within 12 to 16 months, and to have more than 70% of the homes pre-sold once the first models are constructed on site. The land tract was appraised at more than $3 million less than two years ago, and the Company has negotiated a purchase price on the land of $1.7 million. Total costs for the project are expected to be $4.6 million, and break down as follows: Land acquisition: $1.7 mm Bonding requirement: $0.7 mm Infrastructure costs: $0.7mm Revolver: $1.0mm Working capital: $0.5mm (mortgage taxes, closing costs, parkland fee, etc) The Company is fairly open as to structure (debt or equity) to fund this or any of the various other projects they have in their pipeline. In the past, the Company has successfully structured deals with investors in JV type formats, where the lots were held by the investor and released to the Company at a pre determined price over a defined period of time through an option agreement. With the combination of current pay interest and the mark up selling improved lots back to the Company, investors were able to generate IRRs in the 30s. The Company is prepared to invest along side their financial partner and issue both Company and personal guarantees. With the right financial partner in place, the Company is poised to exploit the numerous opportunities that presently exist in their targeted markets. These opportunities have come about as a result of the financial downturn, which caused many large, national and regional builders to retrench from those markets and force many smaller, local builders out of business.

Some of the other significant opportunities within the Companys proprietary pipeline, whichAll Righ ts reserved . Cop yright Makan Construction 2005
