concrete structures. The market for performance enhancing additives for cementitious
products will reach $850 million by the year 2000 in the U.S. alone. At that time the

of world-wide markets for these products should exceed $2 Billion.
Now there is a cost effective, high performance alternative.

THE PEOPLE: The driving force behind the success of HARD OTC NASDAQ is
A.Roy MacMillan, President and Chairman of the Board. Before I invested in this
company I did extensive due diligence, from contacting industry analysts, brokers, the
competition,
and speaking a length to Mr. MacMillan. Previously a Director of Stratford Acquisition
Corporation, Mr. MacMillan became president in 1996. He has had an amazing career
from successful construction companies, founding president of Brascan International
Trading and as Senior Executive in the parent company, Brascan Ltd. His foreign
service career took him to Europe, developed the Canadian Economic Assistance
Program in English speaking Africa, and then serving on the Board of Executive
Directors of the World Bank.
It's easy to see why the success of HARD is riding on his shoulders, with his
construction expertise and market contacts, hands on approach, the day to day
operations are run from
his office, and his extensive contacts in international markets which will increase
HARD's market share and investor stock price. The next two years HARD will make
most of its money from international contracts.
On the domestic front HARD looking to beef up the management in the U.S.
announced that William Lavin has joined the board of directors Mr. Lavin is the former
CEO of Woolworth Corp. He was the CEO from 1993 to 1994
Other directors are: Mr. Daniel Dowe, founded the Wall street law firm of Dowe &
Dowe, previously he was an associate attorney for the New York firm of Donohue &
Donohue, also as an analyst with J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. Mr. Dowe
is a member of both the New York and New Jersey Bar Associations.
Douglas S. Friedenberg, president of Firebird Capital Management, a financial
advisory firm, he served as president of Unicom Capital Management, an investment
firm. Previously he was an investment manager at Morgan Stanley. Mr. Friedenberg is
also a director of Datametrics Corporation.
It is clear that with Mr. MacMillan at the reins there are many avenues the company
will be able to profitably exploit, this is what spells opportunity, as I see it. This
company satisfies all my prerequisites for a speculative investment: there are people
involved with a solid track record, shares can be purchased for just pennies, the
products are cutting edge, the products are less expensive than there competition, and
environmentally safe. I do not believe that shares should be purchased for a quick ride.
It will take time for the fundamentals to develop, and I always hesitate to try and
predict a time frame. That said, I have accumulated approximately 40,000 shares at
the current price and at these prices will be accumulating more, I am prepared to
watch company developments closely for at least one year, confident that even a
moderate level of success will yield a triple digit return. |
