TECHNOLOGY CATEGORY


Docket # 1022,        Firefly

This company has over 15 years of experience providing technologically advanced systems to the major printing houses. They have been instrumental in the development of the largest advertising printer in the country.  They currently offer pre-printing/setup products, hardcopy to data conversion, and an under development, star wars product to remake the common book.  All together, these products offer billions of dollars in future sales.  The data conversion division, alone charges $1/page and the library of congress, just to name one prospect, has over 5 Billion pages to digitize.  Now they are ready for a large capital infusion and management additions to take their marketing efforts national and world-wide.  This will probably result in a public company.    

Approximately $7 million is being sought to complete product commercialization, establish a sales and marketing organization and reorganize current debt.  Investor participation will be rewarded through a number of  options to be negotiated at the time of initial funding.

Docket #7890,        Global Profile Service  (GPS)

The goal of GPS is to provide every individual in the world the opportunity to possess a personal electronic data lockbox.  With the lockbox, personal data can be organized, verified and biometrically (thumb print access) secured.  The purpose of this lockbox is to prevent identify theft and to provide authorized organizations access to data with verified accuracy.

Why is this good for the Individual?  The data lockbox is under the control of the individual.  Only he or she can authorize data to be released to organizations with which they are doing business, and only if the thumb print is present.  Individuals have knowledge of and access to their own data, so that they can be assured that it is accurate and up-to-date.  The data, such as college degrees, is verified by an outside agency (GPS) so that individuals do not need to present proof when applying for credit or jobs.  All of the relevant data is conveniently organized in one place.

Why is this good for organizations?  When filling job openings or allowing access into a country, the organization can have access to the lockbox information, via the individual's permission.  This quickly assures the organization that it has the correct person and that the information has already been independently verified.

Why does this prevent identity theft?  A thumb print connected to a biometrically secured data source is proof positive that the correct person is making a purchase.  One day soon, biometric readers will be as commonplace as credit card readers are today.  These devices are not readily available, not expensive, and provide absolute proof of the person's identity. 

Docket #9012,          SiteIntelligence

This company has been in business for four years providing software to golf courses so that they could survey their own properties.  The resulting surveys are computerized to aid in the control of maintenance and golf course redesign.  Now the company wants to expand its market to handle any type of facility from manufacturing plants to cemeteries.  The plan is to develop a simple tablet computer that can be carried around a large facility and record position data and facts into a back-end facility management server.  While other facility management systems offer some subset of facility management, this product is intended to be the first to offer an on-site computer tablet that is designed to put all the relevant data and tools in the hands of the local operator.  The back-end server actually contains a simple CAD system that displays the facility on the tablet in 3-D form, floor by floor for each equipment item.  This company has unlimited potential to sell to manufacturing, health care, airports, cemeteries, and any other large facilities that require continual maintenance and re-development.  It is are offering an equity position commensurate with earlier investors contributions.

Site Intelligence provides software and hardware for mapping all the objects, equipment, and rolling stock for a commercial site in 3-D CAD.  SI integrates the latest technology including  GPS, Wireless LAN, Wireless WAN, Camera, RFID, and PC tablet (portable) computer. 

 

The system that it is are developing will, for the first time, bring all of the data related to managing the facility into one well-designed, easy-to-access, fully integrated database.  This includes purchasing, repair part inventory, repair order tracking, identification info and object history.  All of this data will be available to facility department personnel on the floor or in their offices using the handy PC Tablet computer. 

 

This has application to factories, airports, golf courses, and amusement parks, just to name a few potential customers.

 

SI is developing four products in 2 phases.  The first phase takes 4 months and develops the mapping product, ready-to-sell, with at least one customer waiting.  This phase needs $300,000.  The second phase completes and markets the software in 6 months and requires $700,000.  The investor becomes a 15% owner which may be worth as much as $10,000,000 if the company is successful and sold to a large competitor. 

 

The fully integrated and LAN-supported PC Tablet will have many applications beyond those discussed in the business plan.  The PC Tablet market, which is just now taking off, will demand high quality application software. 

 

 

 

 

GENERAL CATEGORY


Docket # 1001,     Rootwell

This company is a service-based organization intent on propagating its service model throughout the United States.  Technicians install “rootwells”, which is a jointly-owned product used to distribute plant food and water to the root systems of trees.  The service has proven profitable as the feeding and watering system is a viable solution to landscape problems related to soil compaction and low plant nutrition.

The current landscape market is populated with plant installers and above ground maintenance (surgeons, chemical applicators) but few to none exist to provide plant feeding.  This critical maintenance activity has been overlooked in favor of plant replacement; however, poor nutrition affects the new replacement plantings as it did the originals.  Southeast Michigan  has served as a reliable test market and even with the success of the Rootwell system, landscape and above ground maintenance companies show no interest in providing the feeding and watering service.  Similar attitudes have been noted Nationwide.

The company is seeking to raise $250,000 capital to position “rootwell” as solely owned, enhance advertising, support the growth of the Metropolitan Detroit Office, the opening of a second office (possible location – Atlanta), and pay down debt.  Investor participation is initially anticipated as a high interest bearing loan (to be negotiated) with a term of 30 months.

 

Docket # 1002,     Ringer

This company is developing an unmanned, impeller-driven, ring wing apparatus augmented with Coanda slots to perform all the functions of a helicopter without the problems associated with a rotor.

 Over 100 patents have been issued for ring wing aircraft and none is successful.  The ring wing is basically unstable and difficult to fly.  Employing Coanda slots in the wings will provide increased lift and flight control solving the problems faced by previous attempts to develop and exploit the advantages of the ring wing.

 New markets are developing for unmanned vertical take-off-and-landing aircraft.  The closest competition is Yamaha with their 20 and 40 horsepower helicopters for agricultural use.  During fiscal year 2001, 1200 R-50 and RMAX helicopters were sold to Japanese farmers at a US price of $65,000 each.  Judging from their sales in Japan, a conservative 2,000 units per year or $100 million in sales of a comparable unit in the US is expected for Ringer.

 The company is searching for $400,000 to bring this program to a self-sustaining position.  As part of this, a short duration program requiring no more than 5 months and an estimated $81,405 is planned to build and fly a 1-meter diameter prototype.  The prototype would also be the first product going directly into the surveillance market.  Investor exit strategy will be determined when the investment opportunity is initiated noting possible options as high interest loan, equity position, IPO with stock options, etc.

Docket # 3456,     S.O.A.R.

 

This company is seeking to raise $600,000 in loans, credit lines or investments for inventory and marketing.  All loans or credit lines will be secured by 1,000 SOAR kits presently in inventory with a retail value of $499 each.  They plan to use $375,000 for additional inventory with the balance targeted at a pilot and initial launch of an infomercial marketing strategy.

 

S.O.A.R., or Skills for Organizing, Analyzing and Reading, is a packaged program which targets the mental fitness of an individual regardless of age.  The program guides the participant through 52 vital cognitive functional exercises that have proven effectiveness in attention, thinking, subject matter recognition and retention.  Advancement in the level of learning has been measured at an average of 4.8 years and has seen IQ test scores increase 18 points.

 

Growth opportunity exist in every conceivable market where education is involved.  Military, corporate, and K-12 represent some of the initial target markets.  Infomercials will target parents and grandparents of 3-15 year old children.

 

The Company is offering 2 investment opportunities; a 15 month investment with a fixed interest rate of 25% or a 36 month venture with a 3-4 times ROI.

 

Docket #1003,   Ground Protection

 

This company makes ground protection pads for construction sites.  These pads replace plywood.  They last 6 times longer, cost 3 times less, perform better and are much easier to install.  This product can be sold to over 500,000 companies nationwide.  They are seeking a financing partner to support inventory and marketing efforts, so that they can dominate their market.  Competitors are selling all that they can make, and this product is substantially better and cheaper.  Projected revenue is around $30Million. 

 

To establish a marketing and sales organization, increase production capacity and consolidate existing debt, this company is seeking $700,000.  They are offering equity and/or debt instruments. 

 

Docket #1526,   Car Rental

Las Vegas is quickly becoming the hottest recreational destination in America.  It is one of the Top Ten busiest airports for car rental.  Also among the Top Ten busiest are management’s very next car rental targets:  Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport.  The launch of high volume car rental locations at these three major airports, beginning first with Las Vegas, will achieve annual revenues of $27+ Million in less than 40 months. To accomplish this, Domicile Holding Company will become a franchisee of one or more major rental car brands.  DHC has already been offered the rights from a major company to open in several “top 10” car rental airport markets including our proposed launch at Las Vegas’ McCarren International Airport.  Furthermore management will augment the rental fleet with a limited amount of luxury and exotic vehicles, which have historically demonstrated superior profitability.  

 Management possesses the ability and experience to operate major airport locations.  Key personnel are available, insurable, and ready to commit to this project.  In addition, management also has experience with fleet, human resources, insurance, finance, as well as all other areas of the rental car industry.  Lack of solid and insurable management will prevent any others from competing with Domicile Holding Company in our chosen markets. There are no legitimate major companies that can offer profitable luxury and exotic vehicles like Mercedes, Porsche, and Viper at a major airport in any of our three target cities.

There is an investor re-payment plan that allows for ownership with prompt re-payment of initial capital.  As more locations are opened revenues will eventually climb to $60+ Million and above making an initial public offering a very real probability as well as a possible buy-out offer from our corporate franchise parent(s).

This is a rare opportunity that requires proportionally small start-up capital. Growth potential for this project is excellent. Management believes that profitability will be extraordinarily above average.

Docket #041201,   Shoes

Bob’s Classic Kick’s is a retro gym shoe store specializing in hard to find classic sneakers.  There is a growing demand for retro clothing in the United States and Bob’s Classic Kick’s will forefront the lasting trend, since there are no specialty clothing stores of any kind in Michigan that caters to the high-end urban market. Bob’s Classic Kick’s estimates to do a $450,000 in its first year of business. Bob’s Classic Kick’s will supply the demand for customers who spend more than 500 dollars for shoes on the Internet. For a fraction of the price customers will be able to access these shoes at Bob’s Classic Kick’s which will be in our demographic reach.  Bob is requesting $90,000.
 

Docket #041202,   Employment Resources

Overview.  This company and its website was formed in New York in 2002 for the purpose of making it a lot easier on the worldwide web to find automotive employment-related information.  Today, the company is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and operates principally as a virtual company through its two websites:  One domain is automotive and very niche-focused and the other domain is general and very broad-focused to create future scalable industry opportunity and expansion.  The mission of both domains includes the assembly, categorization and direct e-connection of employment-related information.  There are currently six solutions offered to its users.  Its objective is to service web traffic as the resource that compiles and categorizes all of the Internet’s employment-related information.  Its goal is to be the Internet’s most prominent, efficient, and directly connected employment resource. 

 

Funding.  The website is operated and funded through the paid annual subscriptions of companies represented among its resources, as well as through the monthly advertising source revenue.

 

Investment.  It is well known by the success of websites such as Monster.com how lucrative investment in an employment-related site can be.  The distinction with our company and its website is that we are positioned as the worldwide web’s most prominent and robust employment resource, not simply classified job advertiser.  The founder holds 100% ownership interest in the company and would like to more rapidly expand and grow the company by selling 40% interest in the company at 5% increments.  Each 5% investment interest is being offered at $200,000 each to varying investors offering unique skills that would benefit and attribute to the success of the company and its website.  The expected payback period is five-seven years.

 

Investor ROI?**  It is expected that all investors will serve as Trustees to the Board of Directors and that certain investors will have a more active roll in the operations of the company and hold a key executive positions.  Where a more active role is assumed, an annual compensation plan would be developed, depending on time commitment, responsibilities and cash flow.  Where the investment is purely financial, it is anticipated there will be a regular monthly stipend distributed from the net profit received into the company.   At the conclusion of a five-to-seven year investment window, investors will be given the opportunity to divest from the company at an agreed upon growth rate.  Annual business plans and monthly financials will be shared on a monthly basis, as well as an invitation to attend all monthly Board meetings.

 

 

MANUFACTURING


Docket #8901,         DBC/Everst

Everest Software Solutions, Inc. publishes and distributes Everest Manufacturing Software®. Accounting Today Magazine named the software a “Contender – One to Watch” in their Top 100 Products Review. Our company has received the coveted Technology Pacesetters Award from Accounting Technology Magazine for the third year in a row.

 

Our mission is to develop, distribute and support mission critical manufacturing software applications that are easy to implement, use and maintain, while providing our clients a fast return on investment.

 

Our direct sales organization promotes Everest Manufacturing Software® in our local territory. Everest is sold and supported nationally and internationally through a network of authorized resellers. Application software, by nature, is a very high margin business.

 

We have enjoyed steady business development and growth over the past few years while maintaining a positive bottom line. The manufacturing sector is emerging from some tough years, and there is a substantial pent up demand for manufacturing software systems according to the International Data Corporation. The potential for exponential sales of our software and rapid growth is real and immediate.

 

Everest Manufacturing Software® is currently is linked to one of the top twenty-five accounting software product lines. Our immediate goal is to create a generic version of the software that will link to any and all front office accounting systems. When Everest Manufacturing Software® is accounting software neutral we will be able to approach thousands of accounting software resellers and will be a viable product for any manufacturer in spite of their front office systems.

 

The business software industry is consolidating. Microsoft, Sage, Intuit and others are buying small software companies. Unlike the shaky conditions of the .com frenzy, Everest Manufacturing Software® is an established and credible product that is poised to become a brand name in the manufacturing software industry. Once a high profile product, it is certain to attract suitors.

 

We are attempting to raise $250,000 for the programming conversion of the software to an accounting software neutral product in the .net and .xml format. We seek an additional $250,000 in funds for our sales and marketing initiative, once the conversion is completed. The estimate of time for the software project is one year. Our estimate to reach critical mass in the industry is three years. We believe the company will be acquired shortly thereafter.

 

For $500,000, our investor will own twenty-five percent of the company. Or, we will consider other creative proposals that an investor might prefer. Our 2005 sales goal is $2,000,000 in sales. Since 2000, the average software company sold for approximately two times annual sales, according to Inc. Magazine, August 2004, making an investment in Everest Software Solutions, Inc. and Everest Manufacturing Software® a good bet.

ENTERTAINMENT


Docket #1322,         Golf Swing Profiling

This company has contracted with several golf pros and their instructors to put golf lessons on CD’s and customize them for each golfer.  This is done as an add-on feature or give-away at golf outings.  There are over 180,000 outings per year.  The sponsor takes a video of each golfer’s swing and then, using some artificial intelligence software, the swing is analyzed by a big name golfer or touring pro instructor.  This results in a one hour golf lesson on a CD, but it is personalized to the golfer’s own swing. 

This company is offering a 35% return per year for over 5 years, plus ongoing ownership.  They are seeking $1.5 million.  This is anticipated to pay out around $4MM over 5 years plus a 15% ownership interest beyond that.  If this company is first to market, uses well known pros, and provides wide distribution, the revenue numbers could be quite conservative. 

 

Docket # 2314,        Direct-To-Video Films 

The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) published the fact that 23 of the top 250 highest grossing films of all time were released in 2003, and 17 of these 23 were Thriller/Horror films. Twenty of the top 50 DVD rentals are currently thrillers. According to the American Film Market, from the March 2004 market, Thriller/Horror films were the highest selling genre once again with and increase of 23% over 2003.

Crossbow 5 Entertainment is a producer of Direct-to-Video genre driven feature films. And has a proven track record of success for producing profitable pictures. This separates them from most filmmakers who never reach the global marketplace. Crossbow 5 is the only independent producer in Michigan to have attained a pre-distribution deal, ensuring their films are released to over 360 buyers for the 91 territories that constitute the world film market.

The movie at hand is entitled Mr. Jingles and is budgeted at a mere Forty Thousand ($40,000 USD). American Film Partners International has agreed to release the film to the worldwide market within 90 days of delivery of the finished film. Mr. Jingles Movie, LLC. was structured by DykemaGossett, PLLC and is seeking equity members for 100% of the production capital. Membership units are only $1,000 with an R.O.I. of $6,118 within 24 months of the films release. (These figures are based on the proven sales of their prior films). Mr. Jingles LLC is limited to only 25 basic members who must reside in Michigan.

REAL ESTATE


Docket #1543,         High End Real Estate Lots

This developer has 10-15 vacant lots in Rochester Hills, MI.  These lots are intended for $1.3M homes and up.  They sell at the rate of 5-8 per year, including 2003.  In order to help him carry this inventory until sold for construction, the builder is offering a short-term purchase and resale option, for small investors.  The builder can sell a $560,000 lot for 40% of appraised cost, ($380,000), and the bank will carry the entire balance for with 4-6% interest.  When the lot is resold for construction at the full appraisal price, the short-term investor receives 100% of the first 10% price increase and 75% of the next 5% increase and zero after that. 

The financial results of this are:  the short-term investor puts $3000 down to cover closing and documentation costs.  Then he pays the interest and taxes until the lot is resold, approximately 9 months ( approximately $20,000).  Then he collects between $35,000 and $48,000 when the lot is sold.  While this has been working fine for the last 2-3 years, should something go wrong, and the lot not be sold for, say 2 years, the difference is adjusted.
