Over the past 16 years, the Company has spent 5,200,000 in development of the systems, infrastructure, and markets for the project for which they now seek funding of 500m to move forward with. The company has developed a viable facilities model which can avoid inefficiencies in the delivery of medical treatment and address the 41 wasted out of every dollar spent on healthcare in the US. A comprehensive medical building, containing most of the service capabilities of a hospital, including skilled nursing, but organized as a mosaic of tenantPOAFs, is integrated with a commercial hotel, where stable patients can stay for continued treatment without the cost of the inpatient setting. The building is designed to separate the stream of patients from commercial hotel guests, who by virtue of signage, separate entrances , floors, and elevators, will be entirely unaware of the medical activities. Each of the medical providers are required to have, or are given, an integrated EMR and financial IT system, which is then integrated with MMCs backbone system. This backbone system in turn interfaces with the insurance payers IT systems, to allow an authorization and global payment for episodes of care which are demonstrated by the insurance companys own criteria, verified by electronic medical record drilldown to replace an inpatient stay, and at 80 of the insurance companys current cost at local hospitals. This global payment made electronically on the day of service and with no postreview is then distributed to the composite providers in proportion to their UCR charges, and results in revenue to the provider 23 times greater than his usual payment for the same services rendered to a hospital inpatient. THIS GLOBAL BILLING STRUCTURE HAS REEIVED CONCEPTUAL ENDORSEMENT FROM THE PRINCIPAL PAYERS IN THE FOUR INITIAL TARGET MARKETS UNITED, PACIFIC CARE, ANTHEM WELLPOINT, BCBS GEORGIA This increased fee revenue, together with the opportunity for equity participation in the building real estate, and in the surgical center or hospital, and to establish their own ambulatory clinical centers physical therapy, sleep lab, pulmonary lab, cardiac cath lab, dental lab provides the motivation for doctors to lease space in the facility at market rates. As a further and unique inducement, the doctors can also have their buildout, equipment, IT and other costs furnished to them at no cost, in return for rendering free care in the subsidized dollar amount over five years. Doctors practicing at the facility can expect, based on the Performas, to double their takehome practice income, and see a 90 IRR from their optional equity investment. The facilities are located in relatively affluent growth areas where there is a need for both a medical facility and a commercial hotel. Where there is demand and enough land, the project also includes a sports and health facility, a CCRC, and commercial andor research buildings which have a synergistic relation to the medical and hotel activity. All rental space is 80 leased before the start of construction. There is one project built in Indianapolis East Side. and 4 in development Denver, Colorado, Savannah, GA, Brownsburg Indiana, and Dulles VA. We believe that there is a market to develop 50100 such projects in the US over the next 1520 years.

The system offers LNG shippers and buyers, for the first time, a truly modular approach to transporting and storing LNG. The partners will share in the implementation of the work described in the business development plan and participate in the profits generated from the sale of its ships. The client expects to seel at least nine fullsized LNG ships, within its first 18 months of funding, at a pership price of 180 millionship, generating a total of 1.6 billion in revenues. Initial margins of 20 will generate profits of 324 million within the first 2 years of operation. Thereafter, the company expects to sell an additional 1418 ships producing revenues of 2.83.6 billion and profits of 420540 million by 2017. During the second construction stage, the company may also elect to take greater advantage of its leadership position and broaden its revenue base to include the building and operation of several ships for its own account, and leveraging significant partnership participation in both domestic and international natural gas project consortiums to provide even more significant shareholder advantage. The past two years have brought about a dramatic shift in the LNG market, with a new focus on the US as an exporter and a new focus on transshipment systems to deliver gas from supply points to remote coastal delivery locations not served by landbased pipeline systems. The company own proprietary designs for LNG ships especially suited to these new market conditions and is in a unique position to profit from these market shifts. This is because their designs are less expensive, faster to build and provide exclusive operating flexibilities that offer significant operating advantages to gas suppliers, marketers and importers.

Our client is raising 130m to build 50 new Radiation Oncology cancer treatment centers, all in the USA and Canada, over the course of the next 810 years. These centers will serve the 400,000 cancer patients, today and over 800,000 by 2030, for whom radiation therapy is a recommended treatment course. This companys superior medical approach is to use a highly targeted and focused beam of protons rather than traditional Xrays to attack cancer cells. This significantly improves targeting and reduced damage to surrounding, healthy tissues. This treatment protocol was first used at Loma Linda Cancer Center in Southern California in 1990. There are currently nine such facilities operating in the USA with a further 18 in various stages of planning. Combined and at full capacity, these centers will be able to serve less than 10 of todays possible patient population. Each center will be able to serve about 1000 cancer patients per year, and the average medical reimbursement USA for each patient is currently about 50,000. Each of these innovative cancer treatment centers will employ off theshelf proton particle beam accelerators and be built in a Joint Venture with a leading Local or Regional Hospital. The hospital will completely staff and operate the facility, including performing all billing and collections activities. The JV will construct the facility and serve as the landlord, with the hospital paying rent structured on a per patientper treatment basis. Construction leadtime is about 1820 months for the first center and 1418 months thereafter. The Company is seeking 130 million to build the first two of these centers as well as create an order book with secured deposits for more than 40 more centers. Although these centers cost 60 million each to construct, the company has conceived a unique financing plan which permits JV partners and future cash flows to fund all subsequent facilities. The company is newly formed to do this. As this is structured as a real estate development business, the company is engaging highly experienced architects and general contractors to oversee the construction phase. The company will partner with an established international manufacturer of particle beam accelerators, who will build and install the particle accelerators. They will then manage the ongoing particle beam generation, targeting and delivery systems. The hospital JV partner will provide all administrative and medical personnel and services. The management team is very experienced in financial services and sales. It will partner with the best architects, builders and particle beam suppliers. Real estate property management expertise will be added following initial funding. Funding to date, about 125,000, has been provided by the founderCEO. The exit strategy will involve selling each center either to a REIT or to the JV partner hospital.

Their company is a multisource corporation of technology and solutions that will establish a new joint venture with equity funders to purchase Raser Technologies Inc. Raser. The public corporation is poised to be acquired and redeveloped with new technology, additional management support and redevelopment of existing geothermal leases to turn the company in a net positive company within 34 years. Currently Raser has access to an estimated 120,000 MWs of geothermal heat power that can be developed into PPAs for the Western US regions. There are two PPAs in place, one with the City of Anaheim Moodys Aa2 and the other with the Salt River Project with the Federal Government AAA. Raser filed for protection and reorganization under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on April 29, 2011. Our client is seeking to acquire the assets of Raser out of Bankruptcy Court. The scheduled auction date has been set for July 20, 2011. Our client is seeking to make a firm offer to the court to secure Raser and all its assets including 38 ownership in VIA Motors, 250,000 acres in the United States, a concession of over 100,000 acres in Indonesia under long term leases and the existing geothermal plant in Thermo, UT that is operating under an existing 20 year PPA with 18 years remaining. Based on our clients analysis and independent review by geothermal and mechanical engineers, published reports and studies, they believe the Thermo Is existing annual revenues of 2,796,986 can realistically be expanded to 11,341,697 with a detailed redesign of the equipment and wells to correct the problems that exist. The increased revenues from the redesign will yield 209,516,002 over the remaining 18 years of the existing Power Purchase Agreement. The opportunity also exists to develop over 200 megawatts of clean renewable energy for Raser, generating gross revenues of 171,697,903 annually and 4,171,807,433 over the life of a 20 year PPA. Another geothermal plant in New Mexico is still under development but has secured a 20 year PPA with a Federal Government backed energy project in Phoenix, AZ. This is projected to generate a gross annual cash flow from operations of 10,755,486 of additional revenues. Over the 20 year life of the PPA including a 2.5 annual inflation, 261,330,030 pretax cash flow is projected. The new venture will develop the key areas of the existing power developments of Raser Technologies, VIA motors and pursue future key strategic alliances with in the power, manufacturing and automotive industry to develop key projects that are financially sound.

We have over 200,000 of equity already placed into the project. The project is to establish a 20 million gallon production facility reusing an existing commercial process building near the end markets for biodiesel. An onsite CHP system will allow the plant to produce its own process heat and operate completely off the grid. A company owned transportation system offers another competitive advantage over traditional biodiesel production by reducing freight costs and creating a new revenue stream for outbound deliveries to wholesale and retail markets. Assisted by national bio8208fuel distributor Tenaska Biofuels. The plant will serve the California Central Valley corporate agricultural community as well as industries to the North and South. The rail served site is within 40 miles of the 878,000 bbl Kinder Morgan distribution terminal in Fresno. The principals are interested in developing a sustainable biofuels production facility that will help meet the future environmental demands of the country. The ultimate goal is to provide sustainable bioenergy solutions for the community using onsite energy resources, completely removing petroleum and electricity inputs from the equation. The company will produce its own biofuel for thermal oil heaters and for Turbine Power Generators.

To date wastewater, grey water and storm water are seen as unavoidable byproducts of existing systems. For our client, these issues have presented a clear market opportunity. Seeing the need for more reliable, less energy intensive water reuse systems, the focus is to build an end to end provider of water technologies and systems which can be leveraged through existing distribution channels. A vertical integrated model will be created, supported by three Lines of Business made up of 1 Water Technology Promotes innovation and commercialises new technologies 2 Water Manufacturing Provides a supply of supporting products at a controlled price and 3 Water Services Providing a distribution channel to market for the above products. Market leading companies across these business lines are earmarked for acquisition from this Round of capital raising and further geographical coverage acquisitions are earmarked for Round 2. This is to create an integrated water solutions company with a strategic competitive advantage over other market players. The aim is to be Australias leading water reuse enterprise, utilising world first technologies from home and abroad. Through planned acquisitions and geographical growth state by state across Australia, the company will be listed on the Australian ASX exchange once EBIT reaches 20 Million. They will be cash flow positive on Day one and the company is taking advantage of the slow down in construction over the past 2 years to acquire valuable businesses across relevant industry sectors. Opportunities clearly exist within each of the sectors of Water Harvesting, Wastewater Treatment and Plumbing Services. Combining these opportunities creates an organisation well positioned for growth and market share dominance. It is projected that within the next 3 years the company will generate significant growth from its target companies. The company should conservatively be able to create gross revenues streams of 122.6M by Year 3 and a potential NPAT result of 19m is possible. Included financials only reflect first round acquisitions. These projections are expected to significantly increase as other companies are integrated into the consolidated entity.

This division is currently in negotiations that could see it increase its EBITDA tenfold by 201213, and further double it soon thereafter, without capital expenditure. They are set to become the Australian agent for up to five platform supply PSV and dynamic positioning DP2 vessels, on longterm contracts to majors, with approximately 20 profit margin. The company also plans to expand its operations to deliver hammer services, tubular running services and rental tools to Asic Pacific customers. These are typically some of the highest margin, lowest risk and maintenance cost equipment and services in the industry. The principals have attracted longtime associates that are leaders in each of these specialisations to join the team. They have already secured contracts in Vietnam and is confident of swiftly growing revenue, thanks to its timetested relationships with regional EP executives seeking the best quality and customer service. The company wants to invest 14M in equipment for this expansion. They have also identified an additional gap in the market for a flexibly designed land rig in Australia, given the countrys small existing fleet and thousands of gas wells being planned. They plan to acquire a 22M custombuilt 1500 horsepower rig with 4,000 metre depth capability. Importantly, it will meet the varied standards of all jurisdictions, so it can cross state borders without costly and timeconsuming conversions. It will be adaptable to conventional, unconventional, coil tubing, horizontal, multipad and even shallow offshore drilling, amongst others, giving it the broadest possible market, at a reasonable asset cost. The proposed new assets and longterm nature of some contracts with creditworthy customers may lend themselves to prudent inclusion of debt within the 45M sought. Both highachieving principals have every intention of making this their best endeavour yet. Therefore, alignment is not an issue. They require a capital provider who wish to partner with this profitable oilfield services company, with manyfold growth prospects in the highgrowth, highmargin Asia Pacific oil and gas market.

The product, unlike traditional solar panels, is flexible and can follow contours on buildings, vehicles and other applications where solar energy is required. The Company is underwritten by a company domiciled in Anguilla which has negotiated and entered into memorandum of understanding with the local governmental authorities in Huaan County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, in which the rights to establish the Projects solar plant in its industrial park and to receive special tax and other incentives available locally. Other incentives at the national level may be made available after the Company is formed because those incentives such as RD grants, tax holiday, interest free loans, etc. are given to a local Chinese corporate entity. An anticipated payback period of between four to six years after factory ramp up, depending on the extent of additional incentives that will eventually be granted after the Project is established. Over and above the Projects inherent advantage over other traditional technology and earning potential, the plan is to take the Company on the Frankfurt Exchange which will result in enhancing the book value of its shares as well as providing a ready exit strategy to realize value of the investment at any time during the development and its growth path. The Projects operating cost inclusive of all cost elements considered will stay below industry standard. Measured by cost elements in the U.S., the average production cost per watt will be below 1.00. Latest announcement by the Chinese government indicates a possible subsidy of up to 0.90 per watt on installations andor up to 50 of the equipment cost to generate solar power in 2011, in designated areas in China. The proforma income statements are prepared without taking into consideration the special incentives announced by the Government for 2011. The client has chosen to develop the first projects in China because production cost is estimated to be 30 lower than solar module manufacturing plants in the West and special tax incentives that are available in China. Furthermore, Chinas economy has proven more resilient to downturn pressures.

Senior health and wellness focused and amenity rich, the Rental Resort Model will meet the demands of the new senior living consumer. It will include all levels of care including 140 Independent Living apartments, 42 Assisted Living apartments, 24 Dementia Special Care Studios, and 120 Skilled Nursing studios totaling 286 Units and 326 Beds. All residents will have access to the program and amenity enhanced clubhouse as well as an array of services. Adding to the senior living community will be an associated single family home development for seniors over 55 and a commercial development that will focus on services related to the senior community. The Senior Housing Industry is emerging in the postrecession era with new focus on a Rental Resort Model. The immediate future will see the rental model in demand with seniors due to several psychological, economic and family forces. Untapped today is the middle income senior market and the financially conservative senior market. Traditionally senior developments have focused on high end senior consumers or low income affordable markets. There are some questions on high end affordability postrecession, especially with the old entry fee model. One key opportunity is to provide a middle class affordable senior community with the desirable high class amenities look and feel of a hospitality and resort program. For the past years a wait and hold attitude presented short term problems for the entry fee independent housing model. Seniors have experienced a loss of confidence in making life changing decisions. Due to the recent devaluation of retirement accounts and real estate values, a price sensitive rental model will be the senior community of choice. Retention of home equity will be important to seniors and the rental model will be a financially better option versus an entry fee model. Entry fee models are harder to sell, making the long term Rental CCRC the model of choice. Even the seniors who did not experience dramatic hits to their portfolio are dealing with the psychological impact of the perceived loss if not real losses. The psychological effect of recession driven by emotions and fears can be worse than actual economic loss. The rental model appeals to seniors as the safer choice. The client has formed a limited partnership to raise the financing necessary to fund approximately 54 million approximately 6 Million in equity and 48 Million in Debt of the total project cost of 60 million forecast from inception to stabilized occupancy of The Project. The Partnership intends to liquidate the investment by means of a refinancing or a sale to an independent party approximately 60 months after the start of construction. Forecast annualized returns on a leveraged, equity investment exceed 25. The Company anticipates that an investment partner will have an interest in an investment program to develop future communities.

The Facilities will utilize existing technologies in current use, along with patented processes that the company has acquired to convert biosolids into a qualified renewable fuel, which is then gasified to produce renewable energy. Each of the 20 Facilities will be located on industrial zoned property of 35 acres. The total anticipated cost of each Facility is approximately 16MM and the equipment portion of each Facility 14MM qualifies for a 30 Section 1603 Cash Grant 4.2MM which will generally be paid by the Department of Treasury within 60 days after the Facility is placed in service and the client files a completed application. Using conservative assumptions i.e. zero terminal value investors in the client are projected to realize a 20year IRR of approximately 47.3. The company founder and his team are experienced entrepreneurs with proven track records in project energy construction and finance. The founder was also the founder of a business that converted coal wastes into recycled fuel, installations of which were sold to Florida Power which, generated total cash payments to the onsold company from October 1999 through January 2008 of c400MM. Section 29 tax credits generated through the same period exceeded 2.0 billion. To date, our client has invested a total of approximately 5.0 million into this current project including all direct and indirect costs. Based in part on his previous experience and success, our client and his team recognized the technological opportunity of converting municipal sewage sludge into a fuel source to generate electricity, in conjunction with the new Section 1603 Cash Grant program where the U.S. federal government is providing generous cash incentives for developing facilities that produce electricity from renewable sources, such as municipal sewage sludge. Before a new Facility is constructed, our client anticipates that it will have i a favorable longterm contract with a waste company that will supply the sludge and ii a power purchase agreement with a utility or power company that will purchase the electricity.
