PELHAM, New Hampshire USA — AMW will close our reload manufacturing in February for an estimated 3-4 months; while we facilitate our new location, file amended DOT permits, move equipment and supplies, and restart production.

The reason is a change in plans by our current landlord. Only the move timing is really new to us.

While we had planned for a reload facility move in 2008, we were surprised when told we needed to move out early. The planned new manufacturing facility means AMW will have larger cage space and more capability to handle the growing Zoo business.

We can't say much about the new facility or it's location just yet, due to confidentiality agreements. But, it will be co-located with an established military solid propellant manufacturer. As part of the lease package, we will also have access to additional manufacturing equipment that might enable some interesting animal species in the future zoo. Beyond this we can say nothing else, please don't ask.

AMW does not believe this relocation will have a grave effect on short term reload availability. Typically, AMW scheduled reload production for 2-3 weeks every couple of months as orders required. Most customers won't even notice the extended gap in manufacturing, unless they try to place a rush order at the last minute. As soon as we learned of the needed facility move, we hit the overtime button in manufacturing to pre-fill our dealer's stockpile. The goal is for our faithful customers to have a continued supply, and for extra dealer inventory to be available during our move.

We do not like to disappoint our fans, so we suggest anyone needing AMW reloads for specific flights over the next 6 months to place your order early to ensure availability. Some popular reloads will sell out quickly. Because even our best efforts can take longer than desired to complete, we thought it best to inform our customers of the potential for reload shortages until early Summer; and hopefully not but worst case, possibly lasting till LDRS 26 (scheduled for July 12-17 held in Jean, Nevada).

Please contact our current dealers to check available inventory and to place an order. AMW will not be accepting any customer direct orders after 1/27/2007 until we finalize our relocation.

The reload manufacturing move will not effect hardware availability or normal hardware shipments. All hardware is produced at unaffected locations and will have normal availability and shipping lead-time.

If you have any questions, send us an email. Please do not FAX any orders without 1st contacting us via email for instructions. Our web site and email addresses will be maintained during the reload manufacturing relocation.

The Zoo Keepers thank you for patience as we work to grow and improve in 2007.
