Today, we have 3 insufficient options for treatment of water, but the ways are not capable to kill all microorganisms at 100%! :

SOLUTION

Needed90%
Internationally wellknown scientists are convinced that a fourth method – ultrasound treatment of water – is the technology of the future.
While the originally three ways are not capable to kill all microorganisms, ultrasound does it at 100%!

OUR PRODUCTS
For the shipping industry. International regulations set in force from IMO (International Maritime Organization) and USCG (US Coast Guard) have to be met by the ship owners not later than 2019. More than 48.000 ships have to be equipped with BWMSystems
Product A - Development of a BallastWaterManagementSystem (BWMS)
Product B - Acquisition of an existing family of ultrasound products
USS has the chance to acquire an existing range of products with all patents and rights from the Belgian manufacturer HARSONIC®. Main markets here are industries as food production, shipping, yachting, water treatment and recycling.

HARSONIC
Using the ultrasound technology the Belgian manufacturer HARSONIC® has developed a family of products to avoid biofilm in pipes, valves, tanks and on the outer hull of yachts and boats. Biofilm is the basis for the growth of all different kinds of seaweeds, mussels and barnacles. Transducers dramatically reduce the service effort of all protected above items.

Global Infrastructure/price Relationship Quality Marketing
USS today has a technology advantage of several years against their main competitors. We have the scientific expertise with the ultra sound technology, we know how to use it and we are capable to successfully build these systems at reasonable costs.
5 KEYS TO SUCCESS
10
“
”
The improvement of the quality of the world’s water resources is an essential target for all of us.
11
The United States should adequately fund a scientifically valid and defensible experimental shipboard testing program for ballast water manage- ment technologies and practices
‘‘
’’
The United States should ratify the IMO ballast water treaty. The IMO treaty repre- sents the work product of ten years of consensus-building internationally. The United States should ratify the treaty and urge other countries to do so as well.

TARGET MARKET SEGMENT STRATEGY ( HARSONIC ®)
The Harsonic® products offer a low price/high volume business with limited technical requirements. These products are only marketed indirectly through a USS indirect salesforce or dedicated partners in the different countries. Partners must have a certain degree of competence and proven market access. We expect short sales cycles of several weeks. A specialization on different market segments will follow at a later point of time.

Analysis
86% chances of success
The business plan has been set up under the overall assumption that USS is able to realize the following milestones:
Competition
No major competitor is accessing the market with marketing power and aggressive pricing.
SalesHARSONIC® sells its
complete transducer technology to USS.
EngageThe development and certifications of the
BWMS is progressing in time and money.
FinancialThe required investment of 17 million USD is
available in early Q2/2016.
RISK ASSESSMENT
‹#›
COMPETITION
19
Main focus has been the yachting, food, industry and water treatment systems.
HARSONIC® currently is the most frequently marketed product using the ultrasound technology to avoid biofilm.
There is a wide range of industries in which the transducers could be used.
Due to limited resources most of these markets have been served only reactively.
COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
20
The USS currently is the only enterprise that is using the ultrasound technology! It will meet maritime regulations.
We are closely working together with internationally well known scientists who have the proven expertise in using the ultrasound technology.
Today there are about 50 different systems in the market using these “old” technologies. They do not meet IMO and USCG regulations.
As already mentioned currently installed technologies for water treatment as filtration, chemical or ultraviolet treatment do not sufficiently reach the 100% target

TOTAL INVESTMENT
The total initial investment to start the business right now amounts to 17 USD $ millions.
The investment should be available in early Q2/2016 in order to meet targeted BWMS deadlines of IMO and USCG.
24
The water treatment market is dominated by suppliers of filter, chemical and UV-systems.
Fact 1
Recent research reports are showing that these methods are to a certain degree insufficient and not effective enough to meet high quality standards as requested by USCG and IMO.
FACT 2
The management of Ultrasound Solutions is fully convinced that by using the ultrasound technology these deficiencies could be eliminated.
FACT 3
USS is engaged in this technology since several years and has now reached the point to bring this expertise into the market. We believe to have a technology advance of 2-3 years.

Finding investors who are convinced of what we are doing and who are willing to fund our development.
We will immediately start developing the first prototype for the land test under USCG conditions
BWMS is planned to be certified by the end of 2016.
OBJECTIVES AND IMPLEMENTATION
Find at least two shipping companies which are willing to do the test installations during the certification period.
Both tests are accompanied by certified laboratories and classification organizations as DNVGL and BSH (state owned German institution – comparable with USCG.)
Start of production.
