HI must continuously identify opportunities to partner with companies that have an interest in the type of service we provide whether it is a hauler, a generator, or energy based utility.

• A prime candidate for partnership will be the utility industry. As deregulation comes to fruition, there will be several utilities interested in making such investments. They will most likely create a "utility" package to potential customers. HI has the same potential to formulate an energy/disposal package to hospitals. We will enhance mutual success with those utilities that are identifying opportunities to maintain and expand their "hospital" customer base in a deregulated environment.
  

HI plans to position itself in the medical waste industry that will allow HI to enter into various partnership arrangements with local communities and/or businesses that may have an interest in our facilities. Potential buyers/lessors/partners may be major waste haulers, local haulers, large hospitals, and communities that want to take charge of their own waste streams, etc.

We have no intentions of going into a community and trying to take the medical waste business away from the locals, or others, which already have the medical waste business. We want to provide the industry with an alternative source of medical waste disposal, which really works for both them, and the environment.

• We also hope to have financing available that will allow HI to lease the facility, as a turn-key operation, to any of the above potential clients, partnership, and/or ourselves.



• It would be to our benefit to build regional facilities in certain parts of the country, in order to stimulate business in that area. If one of the big companies wants to later buy it, or be our partner, we will entertain proposals.
