    <td valign="top"><p>The mid-market companies are extremely underserved in
        this push to achieve global sourcing initiatives.  The
        reason is due to many factors: </p>
      <ul>
        <li>Cash flow.</li>
        <li>Limited
          resources.</li>
        <li>Limited experience in offshore endeavors.</li>
        <li>Immense pressure from their larger customer base
          to source a greater percentage of product from low
          cost countries. </li>
      </ul>
      <p>The big players out there such as GM
        and Black and Decker have their own assets in place to
        achieve this reduced spend.  However, the GM supplier
        who is $20M in revenue, is not in position to be able
        to achieve the dramatic numbers GM has required it to.
        The result, loss of preferred status as a GM vendor. 
        This scenario plays out every day and it makes no
        difference if it is GM or Black and Decker.  The fact
        of the matter is, globalization has taken hold of our
        marketplace. </p>
      <p>As a consumer, we want better products
        for less money - period.  In order to achieve that,
        manufacturers need to extract as much cost as
        possible.  That's where GA comes in.  GA works in
        tandem with our customer base.  We are not a broker.
        We do not buy and resell the product.  We are not a
        manufacturer's rep, we do not REP a particular
        factory.  We have no allegiance whatsoever to any one
        factory in China.  We have a network of factories we
        work with on projects.  Our revenue model is simple,
        we are retained by our custmers with a monthly fee
        that is established at the onset of the project
        engagement.  This fee allows GA to cover its costs
        that are associated with developing the relationships
        necessary to properly source the product.  From there,
        we charge a cost + percentage.  For example, if the
        product costs $10 and the USA manufacturer wants to
        order 1M units, our fee would be $10 + X% (typically
        ranges from 3-15%).  The range depends on the product,
        the difficulty it will take to source the product,
        etc. </p>
      <p>Mid-market companies in today's extremely competitive
        landscape embrace this model for its simplicity and
        the ability to literally go to China ASAP without
    incurring the costs associated with doing so. </p></td>
