Ammunition (AA) was formed in 1983 with the goal of producing top
quality ammunition at very competitive cost. Through the past 18 years
has grown to become a significant force in the small arms ammunition
market. AA products can be found throughout the world in commercial,
law enforcement, and military applications. Following is brief history
of AA, a description of our operations, and our vision of what the
future holds. |

 AA
began as an assembler and re-loader of ammunition of several calibers:
9mm, .380auto, .357Mag, .38Spl, .40S&W, .45auto. As AA grew, management
realized that the only way to break into the industry was to become
a vertically integrated manufacturer. Its founders then invested heavily
in research and development, equipment, and technology. Soon AA was
manu- facturing the calibers listed above along with special order
ammunition for the Department of Defense. Further streamlining of
the operation resulted in the current product line, the manu- facture
of 9mm, .45auto, .380auto, .32auto, .40S&W, 38Spl., and 30carbine.
It now enjoys autonomy in approximately 90% of its raw materials. |

| AA is a vertically integrated manufacturer of small
arms ammunition ("ammo"), predominantly for the commercial ammunition
market. AA is one of the few companies who manufactures virtually
all of the components used in the assembly of its finished products.
AA forms the brass cartridge cases from raw brass billets. AA casts
the projectiles (bullet) from lead ingots. AA electroplates with copper
the cast projectiles on a dedicated plating line. AA assembles these
components, along with premium powder, and new primers into new top
quality ammunition. At each stage of the manufacturing process it
perform extensive quality inspections to ensure that performance meets
or exceeds SAAMI/ANSI standards. |
| |
| Over
the coming months AA will be increasing its production capacity, which
will lead to greater presence in the market. AA will be introducing
new products to its line of fine small arms ammunition. AA is actively
pursuing the government procurement sector and expects to increase
its share of this huge market. |

 Frangible
Projectiles-Lead Free, Frangible, Reduced Hazard projectiles from
Sinterfire, Inc., the International leader in the filed form the core
of our new product line. The 38 SPL, 40 S&W, 45auto, 9mm, 380auto,
and .223 REM are our response to demand for close quarters reduced
hazard munitions. Frangible projectiles break apart into harmless
fragments upon hitting a surface harder than projectile itself. Dangerous
ricochets and collateral damage are virtually eliminated, while the
lead free composition leaves no toxic residue. This so called “Green”
ammo is ideally suited for training, indoor ranges, and any application
where collateral damage must be minimized. |

Ammunition’s line of Completely Copper Coated “C3” projectiles are
suited for indoor and outdoor ranges, confined quarters, and all practical
purposes. The lead core projectile is completely encapsulated in electronic
grade copper, leaving no exposed lead to vaporize during firing. |

| C3 projectiles
are ideal for all shooting locations, improved safety for the shooter
and our environment. |
