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.

Their sheer experience qualifies them to be taken seriously by any pe investor seeking sustained, longterm growth  along with the occasional free ride across the pond.

Competition from legacy airlines is hampered by debt and established working practices and the team has secured slots at LondonStansted ready to launch its economy, business class and cargo service across to the USA. Using Stansted airport will allow the airline to connect passengers from the 160 European airports served by Stansted.

As a new start airline it will be able to offer a fresh approach, unhindered by previously established financial commitments.  This will bring a direct benefit through cheaper fares compared with established airlines.  The financial situation in 2009 and 2010 enables the airline to negotiate cheaper airport slots and take advantage of much reduced aircraft rentals.  Starting from such a low cost base, the airline will be in a strong position when world finances recover. The company is a preferred bidder for a lucrative government contract.

The business plan has received full approval from the industry regulator and is the only aviation authority approved airline business plan in Europe.  PBT of 20106.2, 20111.6m, 201214.3m and 201328m are forecast. Expansion will be marketled with the management team calling on its combined decades of commercial experience in the industry to exploit all available opportunities for revenue generation and maximised profit.

ProBio NanoSilver Compression Socks TGA Registration number AUST 161901 will provide significant health benefits to these suffers and can prevent serious blood disorders such as DVT by up to 96.

What a great market opportunity to be the only certified medically sound product in this catergory, except that this Australian company is being swamped by its own success and that can be a big problem.

They have some of the biggest multinational medical equipment distribution companies seeking their product and they do not have the manufacturing capability to handle the volume.  

If you are a health industry entrepreneur, over 50 and have experience with diabetes, or if you are just a shrewd investor then you will see this as a must to talk with the owners.

1.  The funds will be used to buy five properties around central Florida that are all rented by Family Dollar or Dollar General Stores.  
2.  All the stores are less than two years old and are currently under ten year rental contracts.
3.  We expect to hold the properties for five years, enjoy the income and then sell the properties with some capital appreciation.    
4.  Four of the five properties have adjacent land that should provide capital appreciation.   The adjacent land would potentially be a good fit for a business such as Walgreens or a discount auto store.
5.  The yield on this venture will be 7.5 and it will be paid out on a monthly basis.  
6.  We are estimating that the yield plus capital appreciation should give a total return of between 9.5 and 12 for the five year period.  If the real estate market really jumps, it could be more.  
7.  Family Dollar was THE top performing stock on the SP 500 last year.  The company saw same store sales increase by over 20.  Dollar Generals same store sales rose over 9.  As you can see from the numbers, these companies are flourishing in our poor economy.  Dollar General and Family Dollar are both multi billion dollar companies and are very defensive by nature.

Posses online model is transformational in social networking. Posse enables fantofan sales of concert tickets empowering people to promote their favourite bands to their friends and earn a commission for doing so. The model however is NOT an affiliate marketing strategy. The power of Posse is that it taps into the existing social behaviour of people wanting to share what they already love and are passionate about with their existing friends and networks and rewards them financially for doing so. 

Posses model, while currently focused on concert tickets, is more Amway for Generation Y people monetising their social networks with products and services they already love and are passionate about. Concert tickets provides an easy global entry for Posse given the teams background and experience as well as the necessary culture credibility earnt with online social networks.  Sports ticketing and merchandising are next. The range of products and services however that would eventually suit Posses model is huge and extends significantly beyond leisure and entertainment and merchandising. 

The Australian site is live and generating revenue and the US site goes live late July and the UK shortly after that  probably early August.

Posse has signed or is finalising term sheets with and is currently integrating with or are integrated with: MySpace, Ticketmaster, LiveNation, See Tickets, Moshtix, Ticketek and Bigpond amongst others. We are now moving into the sports ticketing sector and expect to be able to announce similar partnerships shortly there as well.
