Successful roadshow to clients completed in February 2008 TORONTO,
March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In February 2008,
representatives of Nexis International Industries Inc. (Pink
Sheets: NXSI - News; Frankfurt Bourse: 3nx.f)
http://www.nexisint.com/ completed a successful roadshow to
potential government and corporate clients in Europe and Middle
East. Clients have been extremely impressed by Nexis' Green
technology that converts solid landfill waste into high volumes of
building panels, capable of producing at least 50,000 to 80,000
houses annually from each Nexis plant. Based upon the results of
this roadshow, Nexis is currently reviewing its 2 year project
implementation plan and timetable, for the appointment of licensees
and the establishment of Nexis plants worldwide. Nexis' business
model and revenue strategy is outlined below. Current project
pipeline The current pipeline of projects underway, planned or
under consideration include: - Australia - China - Macedonia -
Philippines - Russia - South Africa - UAE - USA The Nexis revenue
model Nexis has an innovative Green technology for an
environmentally sustainable future. The Nexis International
Manufacturing System was created through significant research and
development into an industrial solution that was able to solve
three major issues facing governments and consumers: waste
management, job creation and affordable housing. The Nexis
International Manufacturing System is able to convert landfill
destined waste into environmentally friendly building panels,
marketed under the trade name "5Stargreen(TM)" for use in the
construction of modular houses. The business objectives outlined by
the company are to deliver high volume affordable housing solutions
in various countries. Its innovative proven clean "Green"
technology 'end-to-end' solution, integrates mixed solid waste with
virgin raw materials in a combination treatment and manufacturing
process. This process produces a range of industrial and commercial
building materials (building panels), marketed and distributed
under the 5Stargreen trademark. The Nexis business model
establishes a benchmark return of at least Euro 144 million per
annum from each plant that it operates. Strategies underpinning
this objective included: 1. Implement License Agreements with Local
Partners The development and growth of new commercial markets will
be achieved by issuing licenses to distributors and wholesalers,
with existing established significant relationships and contracts
within the building materials and construction markets in their
region. A region generally comprise a number of countries (eg
European Union, Eastern Europe, South East Asia, East Asia, Africa,
Middle East, North America, South America, Australia & NZ) and
where applicable could be country specific (eg China, India).
Licensees would only be able to operate within their region. Nexis
retains a 50% interest in the distribution license in each region.
2. Establish plants in targeted regions and countries Each licensed
region would have a production strategy incorporating volume
ramp-up and product ranges developed to take into account local
factors, including costs, market conditions and size. Plants would
be established in close proximity to raw materials supply in its
regional license area. Capital investment in plants is based upon
ramping up to meet required demand, after an initial pilot or test
plant stage at each manufacturing site. Nexis may sell a 25%
interest in each plant to local investors in a region, where this
makes strategic sense. 3. Brand recognition 5Stargreen(TM) panel
are intended to be established as a worldwide recognised brand
within 5 years. This would be achieved via a global marketing plan,
that would be applied consistently across all licensed regions via
the regional licensees. 4. Product innovation and ongoing R&D
5Stargreen(TM) panel products, plant technology and building
designs will be subjected to ongoing R&D and innovation.
Regional distribution licensees will be required to make an annual
contribution towards R&D from product sales. They are intended
to be established as a worldwide recognised brand Nexis
International will derive revenue in each region from waste
processing fees, plant profits, end sales of 5Stargreen(TM) panels
to the market and up-front license fees Investment in each plant
would be made after demand for 5Stargreen(TM) panel products had
been contracted. Plant sizes would be based upon a waste processing
capacity of up to 750ktpa, with a 250ktpa capacity plant being
considered the benchmark size. Investment in ramping-up to full
capacity would take up to 3 years from commissioning and would be
in response to market demand. This would ensure that operating and
fixed costs of production were minimised where possible. A
benchmark capacity plant of 250ktpa is expected to generate a
return to Nexis International of approximately Euro 144million,
after allowing for minority 25% interest in the plant and a 50%
interest in the distribution licence. Rahoul Ray CEO and President
