Market Outlook and Competition: The application of SnoCat machines seems to be expanding into non-traditional industries. Outfitters and guides are buying these machines for their business. Cities and counties are purchasing these machines and integrating search and rescue with their other emergency response services. Companies in agriculture are using these machines more often to manage sugar beat dumps and wheat and also as applicators rigs for fertilizers and soil amendments. Vehicle recovery companies (Wreckers and Tow Trucks) are purchasing them to add another dimension to the services they provide. Another service that could be expanded includes summer storage and servicing. Many of the companies that purchase these machines would like someone to store the rig and service it on the off-season. There is enormous opportunity to provide custom parts for specialized use. This company offers some fabrication currently to satisfy this demand. However, the company has a very strong position to up sale many of their existing clients with enhanced functionality for their SnotCats.
