Purpose built trading platform for ILOs www.ilocx.com MobileILO.com

What is an ILO? Initial licence offerings, also known as ILOs are a revenue-based form of raising money for seed stage and startup stage firms. The ILO is a straightforward intellectual property and distribution rights licence that expires after an agreed period of time, or is exchanged for cash under a buy back or for equity, dependent upon the offering. 2

Different from equity crowdfunding in that the transaction is not considered an investment, but a licence sale, ILOs are available to companies in every country, sector and stage. The company needs to show it has a product, technology or service which can be explosive in a tech and social market. This should be supported by market stats to show the potential for the product and financials/forecasts which demonstrate that the more ILO holders, the more value is created in the company. As ILO holders are buying a licence to sell on or market the product they must demonstrate they have done this in order to qualify for royalties. ILOs can be traded on ILOCX, the purpose-built trading platform. 3

Advantages for the SELLER: Advantages for the BUYER: > Your licence holders become your champions, committed to selling your service or product and promoting your company > The transaction is a licence sale, not an investment contract, therefore there is no regulatory involvement > You receive funds on the sale of ILOS as they happen, not at the end of a crowdfunding campaign, and not contingent upon whether or not you reach your target > The ability to become a distributor of the product > The ability to start accruing royalties > The ability to promote yourselves as a co-creator of the technology > The right to sell the licence back to the licensor in exchange for cash or company stock > And trade it on ILOCX 4

How an ILO WORKS Key data is required in order to establish if an ILO will work for the company including: 1. Sector 2. Type of product (tech/software/service) + unit price 3. Current and projected revenue (3yrs) 4. Margin to gross and net profit 5. How much capital is needed 5

Any company interested in creating an ILO needs to provide the sale parameters for the licensees to review before they purchase. These include: > Qualifiers: What does the holder need to do to qualify for royalties? > Initial price of ILO in year one > Length of time the sale will last > Royalty percentage or licence fee that represents the percentage of net sales that the company will set aside after the product is released and the contract has entered its sales year > Buyback percentage which represents the total percentage of equity that the company will set aside to compensate the pool of licensees at contract s end should the company opt to pay the licensees back in equity 6

Once the company has created the sale parameters, they merely need to create a listing on ILOCX that explains the product or service that they are creating. The portfolio should include: > A full description of the product or service and the technology or process that makes it unique > The total amount of money that is expected to be raised via an Initial Licence Offering > An overview of what the firm is seeking to accomplish with the offering > An analysis of the competitive environment > Some form of media presentation to augment the sales pitch 7

We then create a standard licence contract that contains all of the elements that are to be promised to the licensees. In most commercial iterations of an ILO contract, the intellectual property rights do not include patent or copyright credit or allow the buyer to manufacture. Generally, the contract will not allow the licensees to assign their rights unless the company selling the licence fails to fulfil the terms of the agreement. LICENCE OFFERING Raise capital. No equity. No debt. More sales. 8

The Contract Period The length of an ILO contract is set at the beginning of the offering and can be up to three years. During this time, the seller can use the money that was deposited to expand the company and fund operations. For the first year of the contract, the seller has no obligations to the buyer other than maintaining the contract. At the end of the first year, the seller will pay a royalty based on revenues. Near the close of the second year, the seller is required to set a date for buyback within the next 12 months. On that date, the seller will pay the buyer back their sign-up fee in either cash or equity. 9

An Example ILO A company has a product such as an app or food or beauty products that cost $5 per month as a subscription based service. Margins are high and they can afford to pay up to 25% commission on a sale. They have scaled the business and are ready for sales. They need $500,000 now to expand and $3m in 12 months to further scale out that expansion. An ILO demonstrates a key advantage over any other form of capital raising. 10

The ILO would look like this: 1. The company writes a board resolution to issue 20,000 ILOs. 2. MobileILO verifies all aspects of the deal and we list it on our platform so that potential buyers can see it. 3. We sell 12,500 ILOs as the first round to our buyer network for $40.00 each. 4. Each ILO lasts for a 3-year term, and entitles the participants in the round to 10% of the gross revenue received each year. 5. In year 3, the ILO can be converted to equity year 3 providing longer term benefits to the participants (assuming stock market listing). 11

Now a few things happen: 1. The company gets $500,000 to fund expansion. 2. The 12,500 participants then distribute marketing materials on the underlying product to their business and social networks. Their average user base is a minimum of 200 contacts per participant thus reaching 2,500,000 potential end users. 3. If just 3% of those potential end users purchase the service at $5.00 per month = 75,000 sales over 12 months = $4,500,000 in revenue. 4. 10% of that revenue of $4.5 million goes to the ILO participants evenly. $450,000 divided by the first-round holders (12,500) gives a royalty per ILO of $36.00. 5. Each ILO had only cost the participant $40.00 12 months prior. 6. All this sales activity is achieved without the company using the $500,000 to roll out their expansion plans to further enhance revenue and add to the pot. 12

> Company releases the remainder of their issue being 7,500 ILOs. > The price to participate in this round has changed based on the results in year 1. The new issue of 7,500 ILOs are listed on our platform at $400.00 per unit, valued based on last year revenue. > The company raises $3,000,000 in this round to scale and grow. > Now they have 7,500 more ILO holders marketing the service. In year 3: > The company may offer the opportunity to convert the ILOs into equity in anticipation of a stock market listing. > Based on all prior numbers and with no company focused expansion or initiative the company is doing over $7m in revenue on a 50% margin in a sector that has PE ratios of over 35. These very rough numbers show this company to be worth $150m in a public listing. > We assume the ILO doubles in value in year 2 based on increase sales and therefore royalties. > Each round one ILO holder received 2 royalty payments along the way and made $760.00 profit on a $40.00 buy in. > Each round two ILO holder doubled their buy in and received one royalty payment with less risk than the round one buyers as the company is now more established. 13

As can be seen it is vital to make the right combination of first round, second round, price, issue size, percentage of revenue (gross or net), use of proceeds and timelines to a realistic valuation rise. Benefits for the company over equity capital raising: > If the ILO doubles in value at the end of year two and they all convert into stock at $800.00 per unit, then it cost the company 10% of the company for their capital. > If the company had done a normal equity capital raise in these early stages it would have been likely to cost them up to 50% of the company with no exit strategy for the investors. > An ILO is dynamic, a buyer is required to market the company and its products and therefore directly contribute to sales and the success of the company. 14

ILOCX: A dedicated exchange for ILOs We have developed a unique, purpose-built platform allowing sellers to present their Initial Licence Offerings and for buyers to purchase and trade these ILOs. Everything conducted on ILOCX is digitally delivered right from the start. The entire process flows through our platform benefiting both the companies and the buyers. Information is stored in one place and easily updated simplifying the reporting system between the company and the ILO buyers. The system has built in due diligence and fact checking, increasing transparency and trust which informs decision making for the company and the buyers. This is the accelerating evolution of technology, driving business processes that are shifting the way companies function. 15

The mobile revolution could not exclude the possibility of conducting an ILO on your mobile device. We are pleased to say it hasn t. MobileILO is a feeder app to ILOCX that is conducting ILOs for early to mid-stage companies. The need for mobility, in particular, has had a significant effect on all sectors across the board. The concept of business mobility has evolved from a component of individual productivity to team productivity to delivering true business process and re-engineering. We are building features in MobileILO that will allow buyers to host their entire portfolio within the app. Buyers will be able to share advice, tips and insights, vote for interesting deals and learn new skills. Most importantly, buyers will be able to host promotions on the app to help advance the business they have bought into and earn from the process directly through MobileILO. 18

We put a lot of time and expertise into making MobileILO simple easy, useful and secure. It s simplicity can be seen here in just a few screens. 19

As can be seen we are platform ready, tech ready and mobile ready. We have built a winning formula that assesses a company s needs and sets it on a path to smooth out the capital raising and ensure those requirements are met - efficiently, fairly and at the right time. The combination of great ideas, solid structure, keen buyers, a marketable product, tech or service and our web based and mobile based platform takes funding your company to the next level. We can blend capital by using ILOs as a supplement to an angel round or friends and family or go straight in and fund the whole project using ILOs if the dynamics in the company make sense. Once complete, we provide all the reporting tools and accounting to allow the company to run the business and make sales. Once the ILO reaches maturity we take you to the next level of a full stock market listing where your ILO holders will become great shareholders. 20

Our formula for ILOs has 15 years of live experience creating, issuing and selling licence agreements as well as 30 years funding SMEs and public companies utilising unique and complementary structures. This experience helped develop a series of services which have now been digitised into a suite of online tools to assist growing companies at every stage of development from idea to exit. This suite has become the Capital SuperHighway; a fast track where young and developing companies can flourish using proprietary value-added services. These powerful tools are provided by partners such as MobileNDA, Program for Equity, IPO Bidder, MaximumOne and Agent NED and give the company guidance, support and a smooth route to the capital they need to be successful and effect growth. WE PUT THE COMPANY FIRST. 21

The Capital SuperHighway and the components it hosts are delivered to the company at the right time in its life cycle creating a symphony of collaboration that allows: > Risk to be mitigated > Money to flow better > Capital to be used better > Reporting to be automated and > Strong companies to prosper with perfectly timed buyers, investors and traders. 22
