What is the value of TurboCASH ?

Current Strategy - $ 8 Million

Implementation of Commercial Model - $ 2 Million per year

Expand Base to 500 000 - $ 50 Million

Minimizes commercialization and works primarily on the collective value of the users. These are actual realized figures Users are valued at $ 100 per user

Product is divided into free offering and licensed offering. Multi user is the primary divider. Users also pay for us to connect to other commercial systems. Revenues grow proportionally to the user base

This is a future projection and assumes that we are able to expand the user base. User are still valued at $ 100 per user, revenues are projected as $2 M per 100 000 users.
