The proliferation of inexpensive mobile devices such as smart-phones, two-way interactive pagers and wireless PDAs is opening up the ability of workers to interact with key corporate applications, colleagues and clients from virtually anywhere. The ability of corporations to extend their boundaries with new wireless devices will be critical to future growth in productivity and to sustaining competitive advantages for businesses across many industries. The pervasive computing revolution will accelerate the already high levels of corporate expenditures on information technology. A recent report from CIBC World Markets estimates that worldwide expenditures on these types of wireless Internet applications will exceed $10 billion by 2002 and $20 billion by 2004. To a large degree, the enterprise wireless data market is up for grabs. Incumbent players in the enterprise software arena are saddled with legacy applications optimized for large screens and client machines with significant amounts of memory. The opportunity is tremendous for new companies with exciting technologies, focused business strategies and accomplished management to lead this market. The Company Newco is a highly-focused new entrant in the corporate wireless data market. The company has developed a new generation of enterprise middleware tools, called the \"NewcoBuilder Suite,\" aimed specifically at integrating legacy data and applications on an extensible software platform that allows for extensive user customization, interactivity, and community. Corporations that employ the NewcoBuilder Suite can offer a rich experience to employees and cus- tomers over a wide variety of computing devices. They can extend their information boundaries with the NewcoBuilder Suite while allowing users to master their own information environments. Tremendous value results through enhancing productivity, opening up new revenue streams and by controlling waste that takes place in today's relatively uncoordinated corporate information environments. Newco | THE INTERNET IS CALLING. 2 Newco is already well positioned to generate meaningful business in two vertical segments where customers have shown a willingness to pay for the NewcoBuilder Suite and to use the product to reach out to employees and clients. These segments are financial services (particularly investment banks and real estate companies) and high technology equipment and manufacturing, particularly complex engineering organizations that require a highdegree of coordination and communication across dis persed workforces. Today, Newco has advanced from a development stage company to one that has a stable, beta stage product that is generating high client enthusiasm. Newco is based in New York City and has 15 employees. Newco's management team hails from the world's leading financial services and telecommunication firms. Management has a deep network of contacts among relevant cus- tomers and a relentless focus on generating shareholder value. Newco forecasts that it will generate $3.5 million in revenue in 2001, $25.4 million in 2002 and $67 million in 2003. The company expects to be profitable in 2002 given high gross margins gener- ated from its application service provider (ASP) business model. To date, Newco has raised $1 million from angel investors and $400,000 from its founders. Backers to date include senior technologists at Deutsche Bank and Scient, a prominent CEO of a high-visibility Internet portal, and executives from a number of leading investment banks. The company is currently looking to raise approximately $5 million in additional capital from institu- tions and \"strategic investors\". The Product Our product, the NewcoBuilder Suite, is a webbased application that creates a seamless, enterprise class solution for information management and delivery. Scalability, platform independence, extensi bility and maintainability are integral design considerations. Open standards are employed through out to ensure that the NewcoBuilder Suite can easily integrate with external systems and be amenable to a multitude of deployment scenarios. Specifically, as an enterprise class solution, the NewcoBuilder Suite is a secure, reliable, and flexible software that can scale to handle the information that a com pany's employees and clients wish to access wirelessly, while it preserves and leverages existing database/software assets. Newco | THE INTERNET IS CALLING. 3 The NewooBuilder Suite has four components: Content Manager Allows users to generate their own content. Enables users to extract information from corporate applications, legacy databases and compa- nies' intranets and extranets. Provides users with a flexible and intuitive interface for managing content and accessing it from any wired or Wireless device. Com m unity Manager Allows users to create communities of related individuals and to securely share content with group members. Enables users to join communities created by others and/or by their respective IT administrators. Alert Manager Allows users to create alerts from either streaming or static data. Enables users to set up alerts either to themselves or to an entire community. Provides users with the ability to monitor changes to any portion of their time-sensitive content and to alert them when userspecified variations occur. Wireless Manager Enables the repurposing of information from within the Content, Community, and Alert Management systems to devices including browser-enabled mobile phones, interactive pagers, and PDAs. With the NewcoBuilder Suite, companies can solve a wide range of business problems through efficient communication with their clients, customers, and employees anytime, anywhere.

NOWco | THE INTERNET IS CALLING.Competitive Advantage While no company has established a meaningful competitive lead in the corporate wireless data arena there are, of course, a number of players that are achieving traction in the area. These include 724 Solutions, is Mobile, Aether Systems, Brience, EveryPath, and IBM. In our full business plan, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each of these competitors in detail. Broadly speaking, Newco stands out from the competition in the wireless data sector in several ways: Deep Customization. Newco is alone in the enterprise wireless data space in its approach to providing applications that create a comprehensive information environment that is customizable by each user for their respective needs. Usability Advantage. Newco is immediately navigable and intuitive in its use. Moreover, users do not want to be restricted to accessing information from devices and media dictated to them. Newco provides extensive freedom of choice. Self-Publishing Capability. Users will want to publish content themselves, notjust retrieve that which is provided to them. Newco is unique in that it allows users to easily mix selfpublished material with corporate databases. Open Foundation. Many of the most widely used technologies in the wireless data market are based on proprietary systems. In contrast, Newco can interface with industry standard data- bases such as Oracle, vvidely used enterprise strength application sewers, and virtually any XML capable data store. Focus on High-Value Vertical Segments. Due to the background of its founders and geographical location in the heart of New York City, Newco is well suited to generate business from high value-added sectors such as investment banking and the publishing industries. Built-in Group Management. Users will want to communicate with others small, medium, and/or large groups of related workgroups, friends, associates, family, etc. Newco | THE INTERNET IS CALLING. 6 The Newco Philosophy Newco is alone in the enterprise wireless data space in its approach to providing applications that create a comprehensive information environment that is customizable by each user for their respec- tive needs. Newco has developed an application that will not only appeal to the earliest adopters of these new technologies, but is based on sound, intuitive fundamentals: Lsers will adopt new technologies quickly if their navigability and benefits are immediately recog- nizable and intuitive, Lsers do not want to be restricted to accessing information from devices and media dictated to them -- they want to choose, Lsers will want to have access to a variety of information, not just one or two corporate applica- tions that have been \"mobilized\for greater operational efficiencies within organizations. Newco's toolset was specifically designed to allow each client to choose how the NewcoBuilder Suite will be deployed within his or her particular organizational structure to maximize the dual revenuelcost value. Used as either a tool for revenue generation or as a means to create operational efficiencies within a client, Newco becomes a powerful tool for expanding a company's bottomline results. Business Model Newco's business model is focused on generating revenue from deals with mobile enterprises in key vertical market segments including financial services (e.g., investment banking and real estate), and select manufacturing companies. Newco plans to sell the NewcoBuilder Suite on an ASP basis. Revenues will be generated per client from a one-time setup fee, a recurring monthly user fee, a recurring hosting fee, an annual mainte- nance fee, and professional and engineering services. Revenue is also expected from selected licensing of the NewcoBuilder Suite to enterprises who Wish to own the product outright. The Company's target markets are enormous and demand for the Company's products is likely to be high. Newco is currently focused on product development and product marketing. Moreover, we have successfully begun a beta program with a number of companies representing the core areas that we are targeting in Phase One of our business development efforts. On the marketing side, we are finding immediate validation of our value proposition. We are currently in active discussions with sev eral potential customers in our target markets. In addition, preliminary discussions with a variety of Global 1000 corporations, companies in optical infrastructure, investment banking, and real estate have yielded a high degree of interest in the NewcoBuilder Suite. Exit Strategy By creating a compelling value proposition built around multiple revenue streams from our ASP busi ness model and licensing, Newco is poised to achieve a significant valuation in a relatively short period of time. An investor's exit strategy could take the form of an IPO or a sale to a number of potentially interested entities.
