The Company has equipped the Scorpion with a hydrogen-on-demand system (H2GO™) that increases the fuel efficiency of its internal combustion engine by as much as 25%, boosts power and reduces CO2 green house gas emissions by approximately 90%. With the hydrogen generator installed, the car will get about 40 miles to the gallon. RNNM is the first car company to install hydrogen-on-demand technology as a standard feature in its vehicles. In addition, the Company will soon begin manufacturing the H2GO™ system on a commercial scale as a retrofit device for any existing car or truck.

In late July, the Company was awarded the Publishers Choice Award by the duPont REGISTRY™. The award committee noted that “The ‘Scorpion provides environmentally-conscious consumers with a car that has the standout design and performance of an exotic car, but keeps carbon footprints at a minimum.” The duPont REGISTRY™ is a buyers’ gallery of fine automobiles and a premiere luxury marketplace for cars, homes and boats. The Scorpion will be displayed at the duPont REGISTRY™ booth at the SEMA show, where publisher Tom duPont will personally unveil the supercar. RNNM will be partnering with the duPont REGISTRY™ for multiple automotive events over the next 12 months.

Market opportunity increasing for hybrid vehicles

Growing environmental concerns and demand for “green” technologies are encouraging automotive manu-facturers to invest heavily in the development of environmentally friendly cars. Hybrid vehicles offer the ad-vantages of low fuel consumption and low emissions while achieving speeds and performance comparable to conventional cars.

At present, few hybrid vehicles are on the road but these technologies have the potential to become mainstream. The principal limiting factor has been the high prices consumers must pay for hybrid vehicles; however, prices should begin to decline as more hybrids are produced and manufacturers achieve economies of scale. High oil prices and environmental awareness are causing more consumers to choose hybrid cars.

Highlights

November 6th, 2008


Real-Time Hydrogen Injection technology leadership

The Company is leveraging its in-house expertise in hydrogen-on-demand technology to develop and produce emission reduction devices for transportation applications. RNNM’s innovative technology, marketed under the H2GO™ brand, reduces fuel consumption while increasing vehicle engine power. The technology consists of a system that generates hydrogen and oxygen from distilled water on-board a vehicle and delivers these gases to the air intake of an internal combustion engine, resulting in reduced emissions, enhanced engine performance and fuel consumption efficiency.

Significant cost savings with H2GOTM implementation

In an era of high gasoline prices, the Company’s technology could provide consumers with immediate, substantial fuel cost savings. Based on the device’s $999 retail price and the H2GO™ system’s 30% mid-range mileage savings, users recoup their investment in fewer than 50 tank fill-ups. Someone driving 35,000 miles per year in a vehicle equipped with a H2GO™ system will recover his investment in the device in about eight months at the mid-range 30% mileage savings. This estimate assumes 70 fill-ups per year (35,000 miles per year /500 miles per tank).

Technology advantages may lead to rapid adoption

The H2GO™ system is similar in size to a standard car battery and holds approximately one gallon of water, which can produce hydrogen as needed for approximately 5,000 miles (equivalent to approximately 10 tanks of fuel for most vehicles) before requiring a water refill. H2GO™ is adaptable to any internal combustion piston engine, including more than 250 million registered vehicles on American roads today. H2GO™ uses a patented ProCooler™ which (i) reduces A/C refrigerant usage by 20% to 25%; (ii) generates less drag on the engine, and (iii) increases horse power by 5% to 7%. The technology improves combustion by as much as 25%, reduces emissions by approximately 75-90% and boosts fuel savings by as much as 15-35%.

Introduction of exotic Scorpion car

RNNM is introducing the ScorpionTM, which is the world’s first hydrogen-enhanced, eco-friendly exotic sports car. The Scorpion will produce nearly 300 horsepower in its stock form and 450 horsepower with the twin turbo op-tion, while maintaining Acura/Honda reliability. The Scorpion will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, will get 40 mile to the gallon on highways and will produce nearly zero CO2 emissions. RNNM also plans to develop a hydrogen/electric plug-in hybrid to be introduced in 2010.

The Company has already accepted delivery of its first ScorpionTM, which it plans to unveil to the world media at the November 2008 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Plan to sell 300,000 H2GOTM systems and 190 ScorpionTM sports cars in 2009

RNNM plans to build a car showroom in its manufacturing facility and an executive sales room for pre-qualified Scorpion buyers where potential customers can view a multimedia presentation highlighting the car’s exclusive design features, including the hydrogen-on-demand fuel system. The Company plans to gain national attention for the Scorpion by participating in national and international auto shows in Detroit, New York, Geneva, Abu Dhabi and other major cities. The Company will also advertise in maga-zines that reach a wealthy audience such as the Robb Report and the DuPont REGISTRY.


November 6th, 2008


RNNM has designed and begun manufacturing a finely detailed and hand crafted, exotic high-performance sports car whicht incorporates the Company’s innovative hydrogen-on-demand technology. The technology consists of a system that generates hydrogen and oxygen from distilled water on-board a vehicle and delivers these gases to the air intake of an internal combustion engine. The hydrogen-on-demand system reduces engine emissions, enhances engine performance and improves fuel consumption efficiency. With the H2GO™ system, combustion improves by approximately 20% - 25%, emissions are reduced by roughly 75- 90% and fuel savings of as much as 15%-35% are achieved. The system increases engine power while reducing wear.

RNNM’s exotic Scorpion supercar features a technically advanced Acura 3.5 liter Vtec Type S engines, widely known for its superior engineering, high horsepower, light weight and reliability. This stock engine produces nearly 300 horsepower and the RNNM twin turbo equipped model produces 450 horsepower. Because of the hydrogen fuel enhancement system, the Scorpion gets approximately 40 miles to the gallon. The Scorpion will be a limited production vehicle. Annual production will be limited to between 100 and 500 automobiles. The Com-pany intends to use this automobile as an entry point into the automotive marketplace, providing a platform for its other emerging technologies which include hydrogen fuel cells and electric plug-in hybrid cars.

The Company also plans to develop and commercialize hydrogen-generating, Real-Time Hydrogen (RTH) and hydrogen fuel injection devices which can be installed in existing cars, trucks, RVs, aircrafts and boats. As soon as testing is completed, RNNM plans to begin manufacturing and marketing its proprietary H2GO™ system to automotive dealerships, trucking fleets, government fleets and individual automobile owners nationwide as an economical aftermarket solution for increasing gas mileage and reducing noxious emissions. RNNM is currently involved in negotiations with and expects to soon finalize an agreement with a major manufacturer/distributor which will manufacture, warehouse and ship H2GO™ systems.

RNNM is also developing a hydrogen/electric plug-in hybrid it plans to introduce in 2010. In the plug-in hybrid, pumped hydrogen gas will be fed into the fuel cell where it will be electrochemically converted into electricity with no combustion, no moving parts, and no emissions other than water vapor. Electricity will be used to power the vehicle. The Scorpion chassis was designed so it could be easily converted to various power plants and drive systems so RNNM’s R&D and redesign costs will be minimized. The Company expects to produce between 500-1,500 premium plug-in-hybrid vehicles annually.

Real-Time Hydrogen Injection System - H2GO™

The value of using hydrogen to enhance combustion in internal combustion engines has been researched and proven in hundreds of practical applications using on-road vehicles.

The Company’s technology is based on a proprietary system in which hydrogen and oxygen are generated on-demand via electrolysis and then introduced into the combustion process. H2GO™ system draws electri-cal power to split distilled water into hydrogen and oxygen. Both of these gases are then injected directly into the air intake of the engine and blended with gasoline at a ratio of 30% hydrogen. Introducing hydrogen into the process alters the combustion pattern of the fossil fuels so that chemical energy is released at a more auspi-cious point in the power cycle, resulting in greater adiabatic efficiency and lower emissions. By converting more chemical energy into mechanical energy, fuel consumption is reduced and exhaust emissions (CO, PM, HC, NOx) are lowered dramatically.

The H2GO™ system also utilizes an advanced, proprietary piggy-back electronic control module (ECM) that monitors the actual mixtures of fossil fuels, oxygen and the gaseous hydrogen produced by the RTHI system. The onboard, computer-controlled “on demand” system will produce revolutionary hydrogen assistance in real time, capturing the emissions-reducing benefits of hydrogen fuel without the safety hazards, expense, and filling station requirements of hydrogen storage tank systems.

The H2GO™ system holds approximately one gallon of water, which produces enough hydrogen for approxi-mately 5, 000 miles before requiring a refill. H2GO™ is adaptable to any internal combustion piston engine vehicle and uses a patented ProCooler™ that (i) reduces A/C refrigerant usage by 20% to 25%; (ii) generates less drag on the engine, and (iii) increases available horse power by 5% to 7%.

Technology and Products


November 6th, 2008


Potential savings

RNNM’s technology enhances combustion by injecting hydrogen into the engine. In this era of $3.00+ per gallon gasoline, this new technology may provide substantial fuel cost savings.

Basic assumptions used for the table below: Gas tank size = 20 gallons (average mid-size sedan); Cost per gallon = $3.60 (projected regular grade gasoline prices for 2008 and 2009 [1]) Miles per gallon = 25 (average: mixed city, highway) Miles per tank = 500 (20 gals. x 25 mpg) Cost per fill-up = $72 (20 gals. x $3.60) Miles per year = 35,000 (average per year)

Based on the device’s $999 retail price and the H2GO™ system’s 30% mileage savings, users recoup their invest-ment in fewer than 50 tank fill-ups ($999/$21.60 savings per tank=46.3 fill-ups). Motorists driving 35,000 miles per year with a H2GO™ system-equipped vehicle can recover their investment in the device in about eight months. This estimate assumes 70 fill-ups per year (35,000 miles per year /500 miles per tank).

November 6th, 2008


In current dollars, the automotive industry grew from just over $100 billion per year in the late 1970s to nearly $500 billion in 1999, its all-time high. Gross output declined in 2000-01, rose to $436 billion in 2002, but then fell again to $424 billion in 2004. Industry revenues were approximately $675 billion in 2006.

Fuel optimization technologies

The impacts of rising oil and gas prices may be manageable on a macroeconomic level, but there is plenty of evidence that individual consumers are negatively affected. A 2006 survey of American drivers by Consumer Reports magazine indicated that more than one-third were considering replacing their current vehicle with a more fuel-efficient model.

Technologies that improve fuel efficiency include devices or designs that control valve timing, reduce engine friction, improve transmission efficiency or reduce other losses. Existing fuel saving technologies include fuel cells, battery-powered vehicles, hybrid vehicles, alternative fuels, and other emission reduction alternatives such as diesel oxidation catalysts and diesel particulate filters.

Worldwide, there were approximately 800 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2006. By 2020, that num-ber will reach one billion. There are approximately 240 million light vehicles in operation in the United States.

The global market for fuel optimization technologies was $35.3 billion in 2005, estimated at $38.6 billion in 2006 and is forecast to grow 11% annually to $66.1 billion by 2011. Applications for these technologies in the trans-portation sector represent the largest market segment. Transportation applications represented a $27.8 billion market in 2005 and a $31 billion in 2006. This market is expected to grow 13.4% annually to $52 billion by 2011.

The U.S. and other governments have a strong interest in promoting technologies that reduce their dependence on imported petroleum and optimize oil and gas use. These governments are supporting the development and commercialization of fuel optimization technologies through government-funded R&D, tax incentives, and other policy initiatives.

The U.S. Department of Energy is involved in six fuel efficiency programs. The total cost of these projects is ap-proximately $14 million. It is estimated that these technologies could reduce fuel consumption for all highway vehicles by 10%, saving over one million barrels of oil per day by 2025. These projects are part of a DOE initiative to improve engine efficiency by at least 30% to 45% for light-duty vehicles by 2010 and by 40% to 55% for heavy-duty vehicles by 2013.

Hybrid-electric vehicles

Consumer hybrid vehicles have been getting a lot of media attention recently due to their fuel economy benefits. Oil prices around $100 a barrel and a world dependent on foreign oil encourage new car buyers to “go electric”. Another factor driving increased sales of Hybrid-Electric Vehicles (HEV) is reduced CO2 emissions.

There are only a few hybrid vehicles on the road today but the technology has the potential to become a main-stream one. High costs for hybrid has been a limiting factor; hybrid vehicles are generally priced $2,000-4,000 higher than conventional light vehicles. However, cost disparities between HEVs and conventional light vehicles should decline as production volumes increase.On a global level, the U.S. dominates in hybrid vehicle sales, followed by Japan and Europe. Toyota and Honda are the leading hybrid car makers. According to an IDTechEx[4] report, the HEV industry generated $31.1 billion in sales globally in 2005 at ex factory prices, excluding electric toys. The report forecasts seven-fold growth in the HEV market between 2005 and 2015.

According to Freedonia Group, Inc., worldwide demand for hybrid-electric vehicles will advance to 3.9 million units in 2015 and then nearly double by 2020 [5]. Demand for HEVs will rise in response to rising energy costs and increasing emissions regulations worldwide. Although hybrid cars account for only about 3% of U.S. car sales,

their share is growing rapidly. Hybrid cars sales in the U.S. market are likely to exceed the one million milestone by 2012 [6].

The 2005-2007 market expansion was due to high oil prices, coupled with automakers lowering price premiums for most hybrid models. In addition, sales run-ups between 2006 and 2007 reflect increased production and sales of the popular Toyota Prius. An estimated 255,000 hybrid vehicles were sold this year in the U.S. market through October 2008.

Retail gasoline prices

Strong global demand and low surplus production capacity, backed by a weaker dollar contributed to record crude oil prices this summer of $147.27 per barrel. The current economic slowdown is reducing oil demand and prices. However, oil supplies are expected to remain relatively tight because of slow production growth. Absent a major worldwide economic recession, WTI crude oil prices are projected to average around $112 per barrel in both 2008 and 2009[7].

According to the Energy Information Administration, weekly prices of regular-grade gasoline, which peaked at $4.11 per gallon on July 14, averaged $3.05 per gallon in October, a decline of $1.06. Diesel fuel prices fell from $4.76 per gallon on July 14 to $3.57 in October, a drop of $1.19. Regular-grade gasoline prices are projected to aver-age around $3.56 per gallon in both 2008 and 2009.

The transition to a low-emissions global economy offers significant opportunities to technology companies such as RNNM. The Company has developed a hydrogen-on-demand system it plans to distribute through automotive dealerships, trucking and government fleets and individual automobile owners. This product offers an economi-cal aftermarket solution for increasing gas mileage while reducing noxious emissions.

The Company’s hydrogen-on-demand system will be available through distributors in the first quarter of 2009 at a projected retail price of $999 per unit. RNNM plans to sell at least 500,000 Real-Time Hydrogen Injection systems in 2010, which represents less than 0.5% penetration of the U.S. car and truck market.

In addition to H2GOTM systems, RNNM plans to sell the Scorpion eco-exotic sports car. The ScorpionM is equipped with RNNM’s proprietary H2GOTM real-time hydrogen system. The car is also planned as ethanol compliant and engineered to burn 70% gasoline/ethanol and approximately 30% hydrogen, thereby lowering fuel costs and greatly reducing emissions.

RNNM plans to develop a hydrogen/electric plug-in hybrid for sales in 2010. The Company expects to produce between 500-1500 plug-in hybrid vehicles annually.

Based on management’s goals for hydrogen system and Scorpion sales, we expect the Company to generate rev-enues of $183.8 million and net income of $63.4 million in 2009. Over the long term, we anticipate double-digit revenue growth as hydrogen system sales increase and RNNM rolls out a plug-in hybrid vehicle in 2010.

Financial Outlook


November 6th, 2008


RNHM intends to pre-sell most of its vehicles so the Company will not require significant external financing to commence production. Sales trends for other manufacturers introducing high-end, eco-sports cars suggest the market potential for the Scorpion. Fisker Automotive, for example, has predicted sales of 15,000 units for its $100,000 eco premium automobile, which goes into production in late 2009. Fisker has raised over $100 million from venture capital firms.

Tesla Motors has verbal commitments for $100 million in private capital. Tesla reported 1,200 back orders for its $100,000 sports car, mostly from wealthy trendsetters.

We based our valuation analysis on companies offering fuel cell technologies, hybrid electric vehicles and onboard hydrogen generation technologies. Because of strong forecasted demand for these technologies, these companies trade at comparatively high Price/Sales multiples.

We also considered the valuations of major auto manufacturers in our analysis.

Valuation


November 6th, 2008


Because of its early development stage, we value RNNM at a discount to the technology peer group and at a one time forward P/S multiple. We multiply our 2009 revenue forecast by a one time P/S multiple, then divide that amount by 220 million shares outstanding to obtain our $0.84 target price. We are initiating coverage of RNNM with a Speculative Buy rating and a $0.84 price target.

We believe these shares offer good upside potential for investors but encourage readers to consider the risk factors cited below before making an investment RNNM must overcome many hurdles to achieve sustainable profitabil-ity.

Risk factors

Development-stage business

RNNM has no appreciable revenues or signed agreements to commercialize its products. Despite an optimistic management outlook, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully enter the mass commer-cialization phase and establish a viable business.

Unproven market potential of RNNM products

RNNM’s success will depend on its ability to develop and commercialize its offerings. Despite rising demand for hybrid vehicles and the advantages of the Company’s technology, no assurance can be given that RNNM will be able to drive product sales and expand its business model on acceptable terms.

Additional financing to continue as going concern

RNNM will likely need to raise additional funds to implement its business plan. If the Company fails to obtain sufficient funds, implementation of its business plan could stall, affecting our valuation model.

Global recession may impact vehicle sales

The global recessions is impacting every segment of the economy, including car sales. Many of the major auto-mobiles manufacturers have reported significant revenue declines. Reduced consumer spending and toughening credit standards may negatively impact RNNM’s revenues and earnings outlook.
