Low cost encourages take up and the inertia selling model ensures a high degree of retention and increasing income stream. The founder of TTNY is an experienced businesswoman and has invested heavily to develop this sophisticated programme. The TTNY system is very simple to operate to ensure that it has the widest possible application. The business has low overheads and will be selfsufficient after a small profit in year one, with turnover, profit and the balance sheet growing rapidly thereafter. Significant income can be generated from a very low market penetration of just 0.01 and 50 sensitivity in the first three years, based on an average subscription of just 31 per month. TTNY operates from modern purpose built offices in Northampton and on line sales will be generated by marketing, networking and telesales activity.

The company is led by a stellar, seasoned management team experienced in consumer finance and with a history of forecasting the downfall of the consumer credit markets. They seek to build a brand that will originate mortgage deals among quality borrowers and which will be a prime target for a major financial institution when they realise that its time to open their doors once again to main street business. Lending will always be in the order of 40 to 50 against secured property far removed from the current regulated minimum 3. A further 300m is anticipated to be required towards the end of the first year of operation. All systems are ready to go and they can start lending NOW.

With realtime transaction monitoring and audit trail logging, the company provides the confidence that funds are transferred and processed accurately. There are numerous mobile banking system providers worldwide, with every major international wireless carrier implementing a mobile wallet mWallet service. However, our client is positioned as a clearing and settlement network for the wireless carriers and banks providing mobile services to their customers. Again, following the successful VISA business model, our client provides retailers with FREE mobile phone software, replacing the POS terminals that every retailer in the developed world has on their counter. In the developing world, telephone landlines are uncommon as everyone uses a mobile phone. Consequently, there are very few POS terminals and very few credit cards used in these developing countries.

In addition it is subject to other EU directives covering waste incineration and environmental emissions which will all result in substantial penalties and fines if the current waste processing methods are not urgently amended. Poland has a significant problem with waste with an overreliance on landfill disposal over 90 of waste goes directly to landfill. The client has proposed a solution to the municipal authorities in Poland which involves disposal of the waste in an environmentally friendly manner while utilising the heat and steam produced in the process to generate electricity. The client, an experienced Ireland based company, plans to complete 20 installations, through a Polish registered company set up for the purpose which will have process capacity of 40,000 tonnes per installation which is capable of producing a minimum output of 7MwH of electricity. They can secure contracts in respect of the first ten installations within one month and estimate that they can secure a total of 40 contracts in subsequent months. The initial site has been sourced and agreed is Konin. The citys principal land fill site currently accepts 200,000 tonnes of waste per annum which would require 5 installations, requiring funding of 135m. This will generate an income of 39m per annum. The operating cost for the 5 units is 7m this will leave a net operating profit of 32m. There are discussions in place with municipal parties for the other sites to achieve the planned 20 installations in the first 12 months. Further opportunities will be discussed with the clients.

The project will generate electricity and heat from the waste material from a group of abattoirs in its immediate vicinity, together with the organic waste from other local farm businesses and councils. The fuel suppliers will pay a gate fee to have their waste taken away. The heat will be sold to the largest electricity supplier in Poland, as well as to the industries located on the nearby estate. The end waste will be sold as fertilizer to local cereal farmers. The promoter has already bought the land, secured all the required permits and is ready to commence construction and engineering works. They have heads of terms agreed with their suppliers and their electricity customer. They have secured the offer of grant aid from the state, and a soft loan from a semistate bank. These offers are conditional on finding the finance to bridge the shortfall. For the investorlender proof of funds will initially be all that is required for contracts and grants to be initiated. This is a long term cash generating proposition for a private investor or small, discerning fund with a large proportion of the investment recovered through the soft loan, and an ongoing negotiated share of 750,000pa profit generated from the plant.

The Company owns assets land and licensing through its Partner and manager. The bioethanol production plant will be located near Thailand, which is convenient for its initial major customer who has signed a 20year LOI. The company is seeking 100m for construction and other costs. Bioethanol Ethyl alcohol can be used as a fuel, mainly as a biofuel alternative to gasoline. Widely used in cars in Brazil and easy to manufacture and process, it can be made from very common crops, such as sugar cane, wheat and maize corn. This is an increasingly common alternative to gasoline in some parts of the world. The European Standard for Petrol states that up to 5 bioethanol can be blended with petrol and sold through existing distribution channels. The choice of cassava as opposed to other common crops is that cassava is a very rustic crop that grows well under marginal conditions where few other crops could survive. Most cassava varieties are drought tolerant, can produce in degraded soils, and are resistant to the most important diseases and pests. The crop is naturally tolerant to acidic soils, and offers the convenient flexibility that it can be harvested when the farmers need it. Optimal manufacturing process and maintenance of the cassava storage, milling, mixing, cooking, SAC, fermenting, distillation, dehydration, product and waste water treatment is based on existing construction, operation and management of factories in Korea. World consumption of biofuels is approximately 10 million tons annually or approximately 2 of total world fuel consumption and has experienced an average 20 growth rate since 2001. World ethanol production is predicted to be more than 70,000,00013208 in 2012 The initial target market for the companys bioethanol product is Thailand which has scheduled E10 from E20 use by law beginning in 2011. 4,000 gas stations sell E10 gasohol and 200 stations sell B10 bio ethanol. 26,000 gas stations all over the Thailand will sell blended bioethanol fuel in 2012. The companys LOI with a major Thai gasoline company will help to ensure The Companys success. The future market for The Companys product will include the EU and UK whose governments are committed to reducing the use of fossil fuels in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on oil. A number of EU Member States including the UK have introduced, or are proposing to introduce, legislation to support biofuels by providing tax incentives and mandatory targets to increase the proportion of biofuels used in transport fuels.

The value proposition is based upon very low cost concentrator optics that do not need module sun tracking, low cost superior PV cell cooling assemblies, and the application of the automated assembly infrastructure from the consumer microelectronics industry to assemble the solar power modules. The product is lightweight PV modules optimized for both rooftop commercial and residential solar power, as well as utility solar farm solar power. To understand the scope of the breakthrough, the present photovoltaics PV solar industry consists mainly of flatpanel crystalline silicon PV modules, with some flatpanel thinfilm CdTe, amorphous silicon and CIGS PV modules. Solar concentrators have been limited to high cost high concentration HCPV systems in desert field applications or at low concentration LCPV to only 2x of the suns power, and up to 3x with module tracking, and all of these solar concentrators have lacked rooftop capability. The product has recently been tested at 10x to 20x sun concentration ratios. Combined with the manufacturing efficiencies, this brings the cost of producing the solar power to a rate that would allow this industry to compete with Grid power. The client is seeking investment or industry collaboration with investment estimated at 2.5m to start manufacturing at a capex reduced from from 1.5 to 2.0 to less than 0.2 making possible financial returns not seen before in the solar power industry and for the first time will facilitate massive solar power production expansion at multiGW capacities, without limitation of debt load or credit market availability.
