August 2012 New Generation of Wind Turbines We Turn Energy Consumers into Energy Producers
Vertical Axis (VAWT) Not sensitive to wind direction Safer, more compact, less noise Appropriate for more populated areas Horizontal Axis (HAWT) Large blades, high speed, efficient Higher noise, vibration levels Sensitive to wind direction Wind Turbines
Established May 2009 (in L.N. Green Incubator) Developing vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) First products: VAWT for residential settings Future markets: commercial, urban, large VAWT Strategic partner: Kanfit Ltd About Smart Wind
The innovative technology (by Andrey Kotler) is based on a specific use of Active Flow Control (AFC) aerodynamic technology for increasing air circulation around the rotor blades US patent application (10/2010) PCT application (10/2011) Core Technology

Smart Wind Turbine Generates Per Rotor Swept Area Value Proposition
Wind Power – Growing Opportunity Global installed capacity of wind-powered generators > 200GW Over the past five years the average annual growth in new installations around the world has been 30 %
Small Wind Power – Penetrating to Market 10 From the 2012 Small Wind World Report – World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) Global installed capacity of small wind-powered generators < 0.5GW Only half of the small wind turbines in China continue to produce electricity
Small Wind Power – Penetrating to Market 11 From the 2011 US Small Wind Turbine Market Report (AWEA) US Small Wind Turbine Market Growth
Small Wind Power – Penetrating to Market 12 From the 2012 Small and Medium Wind UK Market Report (RenewableUK) UK Market Size Forecast Forecast for 2012 A boom year in the UK small wind market
Potential of small wind turbines on landed homes in US - above 13 million units Same trend is observed in Great Britain with potential of over 600,000 small wind turbines The Asian market potential is believed to be large Small Wind Power – Market Potential 13 From the 2012 Small Wind World Report (WWEA) With an average installed cost of 6000 $/kW (AWEA 2011 report) the expected market size in 2020 is $24 Billion
Business Strategy for Coming Years 14 Penetrating to the wind market with products for residential settings (1-10kW) In process of manufacturing and testing first commercial model of about 1kW The company plans to expand its activity to the commercial wind turbine sector with larger models (above 10kW) Revenues will be received from selling turbines in the international market Applying the technology to large VAWT Expecting Break even point in third year of sales and Accumulative net profit of about 20M$ after 5 years
Seeking to raise 2M$ for Entering the international market with the first commercial model and Working with the Small Wind Certification Council (SWCC) for certifying this model in US Expanding to larger turbine models Funding
