INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW
WINTER-SPRING 2015
Impact Capital Advisors, LLC www.impactcapital.com is a hybrid merchant bank and international
investment intermediary (i3™)
providing discreet business management, development and financial
advisory services to international small and medium enterprises including both, private and publicly-
traded companies, as well as private equity funds. Impact Capital focuses on infrastructure level
projects employing the highest levels of risk analysis and management along with strategic and tactical
planning. It maintains representative offices in London, Paris, Los Angeles and Westport, Connecticut.
Impact Capital Business Development Model & Process
Impact Capital and its partners invest significant amounts of time, money and effort preparing our
project client companies for their preliminary institutional financing rounds. Our client companies are
already revenue producers or enterprises not less than 6-8 months from commercial launch and cash
flow. This business development incubation period can require 8-12 months before a client company is
completely packaged and ready for investor presentation. Our focus is on companies with compelling
business and financial models. Impact Capital strives to reduce and manage the inherent risks of these
projects by assembling first-class management teams, boards of directors and advisors with the skill sets
and experience to meet the demands of the our “enterprise acceleration™” model. This approach
enables the capability to scale enterprises rapidly. Once these project companies are properly packaged
and ready for the institutional markets, our sister company, PacificWave Partners,
www.pacificwavepartners.com manages all aspects for the successful completion of the institutional
financing requirements.
The majority of our clients are capable of growing rapidly, with a target goal of surpassing $50-$100
million in annual turnover no later than year 3 or 4. Due to the equity capital financing appetites of our
project companies, Impact Capital believes partnering with strong strategic financial partners will ensure
our project companies’ ultimate successes. Generally, our companies’ first institutional equity rounds
are in the $5-15 million range. Such early stage equity capital financings in today’s capital markets are
challenging, at best, in a market micro-cap sector that still remains highly underserved. Impact
maintains a robust network of international institutional investors for its projects and many of the
projects are selected based on prior in-depth discussions held with our investors who have enjoyed
great success within specific industry targets.
Current Client Project Equity Financings:
Impact Capital has (3) client companies that are currently being presented to our international
institutional investor networks. Impact has additional projects under development, which will be ready
for our marketing and finance pipeline over the next 4-6 quarters. Below is a brief overview of each
company:
2. Greencredible Ventures Ltd. www.greencredible.co
Greencredible Ventures Ltd. is a privately held Delaware company providing fully integrated business
management and development solutions for client companies and for its own project accounts. GCV
identifies underserved infrastructure sectors in the Philippines and performs in-depth research and
analysis before making a decision to enter a particular market sector.
GCV has invested three years of initial effort and is in the process of now packaging projects for next
round of private equity financings in targeted investment opportunities in the following sectors:
1. Agri-Energy (sugarcane initially)
2. Mobile Technology (GrowApp/Block Farming)
The GCV model is simple and straight forward:
$1.5MM founder investor capital is required to finance and develop “project finance packages”
costing GCV approximately $500,000 each.
GCV will then project lead, manage, own and operate these projects as managing principals for
the two (2) infrastructure projects requiring a total of Capex expansion capital of $25 million.
o Sugarcane project will require the acquisition of an existing sugar mill and refinery to be
upgraded for biomass power and ethanol production - Project Cost $25 million.
o Opportunities:
Mandated biofuels market (i.e. E10 and B2) with guarantee that ethanol
produced locally must be bought by the oil companies before buying imports
Only 133 million liters annual production of mandated quota of 400 million
annual liters is produced locally creating a ready-made market
Only four (4) ethanol distillery plants (25% of mandated production capacity)
have been built out of 21 proposed in 2006 (8 companies have applied for the
accompanying tax incentives)
28 sugar mills and 14 refineries are only operating at 66% capacity. Renewable
energy laws provide feed in tariffs for biomass power that is supplied to the grid
Increased productivity with farmers will lead to global sales of sugar beyond the
US market
The CARP legislation created 60,000 farmers with a total of 422,384 hectares
from the large sugar plantations. 86% of sugarcane farms are now between 1-
10 hectares in size. These block farms must be consolidated and production
increased to take advantage of the opportunities outlined above. The block
farming can be consolidate and maximized with the Farmune concept outlined
below.
o GrowApp/Block Farming is an agriculture mobile app developed in the UK and US that
will connect all our Philippine cooperative farmers and block farmers into one or
multiple physical hubs supported by a cutting edge mobile farming application linking
the hub community to a trading platform, and provide “push” advice & guidance info
and natural disaster notification, disaster relief, agri-education, etc. – the beta app can
be developed for $500K which the company will own jointly with Caris Technology (UK).
3. The IP portfolio developed will be jointly held and will be licensed globally based on the
launch of these operations in the Philippines. Total Project Capex: $2 million to build initial
2-3 million person subscriber base.
Greencredible Ventures’ $1.5 million founder round along with $25 million of institutional equity capex
investment required in 2015 will allow the successful completion and launch of both projects which will
be cashflow positive in 2016. It intends to enter into joint ventures with best of breed technology
partners to launch a truly sustainable and renewable product lines and assist and promote the
acceleration for the growth of clean energy in the Philippines. Some of Greencredible strategic and

The Boston Beer Company, https://www.nyse.com/quote/XNYS:SAM with Jim Koch having launched
many different brands including Sam Adams. Rhonda ran a 250 person sales & marketing at BBC and
took the company public in the mid 90’s with Goldman Sachs.

4. Reality Mobile® www.realitymobile.com
Bethesda, Maryland-based ASTRO Solutions, Ltd. recently acquired the IP of Reality Mobile® and its
Reality Vision® state-of-the-art surveillance system and patented technologies that enable the sharing of
a “common picture” for decision makers who need to assess complex and multi-location events as they
evolve. This high-level risk management tool provided by Reality Mobile allows large enterprises to take
their global risk management to a new level of efficiency and productivity while reducing manpower,
insurance costs and other operating expenses. The Reality Vision solution allows customers to monitor
and resolve complex situations (involving law enforcement, first responders, subject matter experts, and
key personnel in the field) when it is critical and essential for all stakeholders to share information as
real-time events unfold. Sharing of information, data, sensors and geo-tagged video feeds all contribute
to an improved “Situational Awareness.”
The Reality Mobile technology facilitates a rich “Situational Awareness,” by enabling video feeds from
any camera, whether at a fixed location, or from a supported smartphone in the field, to be viewed in
real-time by members of a team distributed geographically. It enables the decision makers or subject
matter experts to be “in the shoes” of the people in the field as the events occur in real time. Here is a
link to a 5 minute video http://www.online-insight.us/insight-overview/video/ describing at a high level,
the features and capabilities of the system.
In order to accelerate the sales curve and maximize revenue opportunities, Reality Mobile has started
initial discussions with Impact Capital to provide introductions to decision makers of organizations in its
circle of influence that may be potential clients for Reality Vision. Impact Capital is well positioned to
assist Reality Mobile when it is ready for additional capital to increase the marketing and technology
resources.
