2 Traditional Dry-Erase Products 2

3 Traditional Dry-Erase Products Dry-erase surface products are traditionally identified with large hardware style whiteboards in permanent wall applications. Dry-erase boards tend to be costly, lack portability and are not viewed as a consumable product. They also lack versatility and are not recommended for use with permanent, non-permanent wet-erase markers, pens and cleaners. 3

4 New Dry-Erase Products from Troy School & Office Products Troy has the ability to put a high quality, low cost dryerase surface coating on paper, opaque and clear films. These developments have lead to a variety of new dryerase products that will change the way we use dry-erase and permanent imaging in the future. These developments represent a new category of consumable dry-erase products that are inexpensive, versatile, easy to use, extremely portable, reusable, disposable and have broad customer appeal. 4

6 Present Dry-Erase and Permanent Market All Products Estimated 2004 US sales of dry-erase related products is between $177 to $ 200MM. Markers (various types), erasers, cleaners and accessories will make up over 65% of the overall sales. Currently there are very few consumable and disposable dry-erase surface imaging products on the market. 6

7 Present and Future Dry-Erase & Permanent Marker Markets 2004/2005 projected annual growth of dry-erase related products is 22+ %. Markers, erasers, cleaners and accessories will continue to grow at a faster rate than durable whiteboard products. In the future new consumable and semi-permanent dryerase surface imaging products will be used as replacement products traditional whiteboards.
