INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW

WINTER-SPRING 2015

Impact Capital Advisors, LLC www.impactcapital.com is a hybrid merchant bank and internationalinvestment intermediary (i3™) providing discreet business management, development and financialadvisory services to international small and medium enterprises including both, private and publicly-traded companies, as well as private equity funds. Impact Capital focuses on infrastructure levelprojects employing the highest levels of risk analysis and management along with strategic and tacticalplanning. It maintains representative offices in London, Paris, Los Angeles and Westport, Connecticut.

Impact Capital Business Development Model & Process

Impact Capital and its partners invest significant amounts of time, money and effort preparing ourproject client companies for their preliminary institutional financing rounds. Our client companies arealready revenue producers or enterprises not less than 6-8 months from commercial launch and cashflow. This business development incubation period can require 8-12 months before a client company iscompletely packaged and ready for investor presentation. Our focus is on companies with compellingbusiness and financial models. Impact Capital strives to reduce and manage the inherent risks of theseprojects by assembling first-class management teams, boards of directors and advisors with the skill setsand experience to meet the demands of the our “enterprise acceleration™” model. This approachenables the capability to scale enterprises rapidly. Once these project companies are properly packagedand ready for the institutional markets, our sister company, PacificWave Partners,www.pacificwavepartners.com manages all aspects for the successful completion of the institutionalfinancing requirements.

The majority of our clients are capable of growing rapidly, with a target goal of surpassing $50-$100million in annual turnover no later than year 3 or 4. Due to the equity capital financing appetites of ourproject companies, Impact Capital believes partnering with strong strategic financial partners will ensureour project companies’ ultimate successes. Generally, our companies’ first institutional equity roundsare in the $5-15 million range. Such early stage equity capital financings in today’s capital markets arechallenging, at best, in a market micro-cap sector that still remains highly underserved. Impactmaintains a robust network of international institutional investors for its projects and many of theprojects are selected based on prior in-depth discussions held with our investors who have enjoyedgreat success within specific industry targets.

Current Client Project Equity Financings:

Impact Capital has (3) client companies that are currently being presented to our internationalinstitutional investor networks. Impact has additional projects under development, which will be readyfor our marketing and finance pipeline over the next 4-6 quarters. Below is a brief overview of eachcompany:

Greencredible Ventures Ltd. www.greencredible.co

Greencredible Ventures Ltd. is a privately held Delaware company providing fully integrated businessmanagement and development solutions for client companies and for its own project accounts. GCVidentifies underserved infrastructure sectors in the Philippines and performs in-depth research andanalysis before making a decision to enter a particular market sector.

GCV has invested three years of initial effort and is in the process of now packaging projects for nextround of private equity financings in targeted investment opportunities in the following sectors:

1. Agri-Energy (sugarcane initially)2. Mobile Technology (GrowApp/Block Farming)

The GCV model is simple and straight forward:

$1.5MM founder investor capital is required to finance and develop “project finance packages”costing GCV approximately $500,000 each.

GCV will then project lead, manage, own and operate these projects as managing principals forthe two (2) infrastructure projects requiring a total of Capex expansion capital of $25 million.

o Sugarcane project will require the acquisition of an existing sugar mill and refinery to beupgraded for biomass power and ethanol production - Project Cost $25 million.

o Opportunities: Mandated biofuels market (i.e. E10 and B2) with guarantee that ethanol

produced locally must be bought by the oil companies before buying imports Only 133 million liters annual production of mandated quota of 400 million

annual liters is produced locally creating a ready-made market Only four (4) ethanol distillery plants (25% of mandated production capacity)

have been built out of 21 proposed in 2006 (8 companies have applied for theaccompanying tax incentives)

28 sugar mills and 14 refineries are only operating at 66% capacity. Renewableenergy laws provide feed in tariffs for biomass power that is supplied to the grid

Increased productivity with farmers will lead to global sales of sugar beyond theUS market

The CARP legislation created 60,000 farmers with a total of 422,384 hectaresfrom the large sugar plantations. 86% of sugarcane farms are now between 1-10 hectares in size. These block farms must be consolidated and productionincreased to take advantage of the opportunities outlined above. The blockfarming can be consolidate and maximized with the Farmune concept outlinedbelow.

o GrowApp/Block Farming is an agriculture mobile app developed in the UK and US thatwill connect all our Philippine cooperative farmers and block farmers into one ormultiple physical hubs supported by a cutting edge mobile farming application linkingthe hub community to a trading platform, and provide “push” advice & guidance infoand natural disaster notification, disaster relief, agri-education, etc. – the beta app canbe developed for $500K which the company will own jointly with Caris Technology (UK).

The IP portfolio developed will be jointly held and will be licensed globally based on thelaunch of these operations in the Philippines. Total Project Capex: $2 million to build initial2-3 million person subscriber base.

Greencredible Ventures’ $1.5 million founder round along with $25 million of institutional equity capexinvestment required in 2015 will allow the successful completion and launch of both projects which willbe cashflow positive in 2016.
