3 The Origins of First Broadband Group (FBG) MIK Industries & Advance Interactive Inc. Joint Venture to Form First Broadband Group The power and reach of MIK’s 55 year old international network of companies First Broadband Group Developing, deploying and maintaining wireless systems to provide broadband services in rural communities. Patented technology solutions that offer the ultimate reach of reliable, secure wireless connectivity at extreme speeds. Merging Advanced Interactive Technology with the Power and Reach of MIK’s International Network

4 55 Years 960 Employees Office throughout the world Over 600,000 sq.ft. of facilities

5 Types of Connectivity Fiber: Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. Cable / Coax: An insulated wire or wires having a protective casing and used for transmitting electricity or telecommunication signals. UHF (FBG Solutions) Ultra High Frequency propagation characteristics are ideal for long distance terrestrial communication, with a range farther than line-of-sight from the transmitter. Satellite: A satellite placed in orbit around the earth in order to relay television, radio, and telephone signals. Backhaul: The part of a telecommunications network that connects the main body of the network with smaller sub networks. DSL: Is a family of technologies that provides Internet access by transmitting digital data over the wires of a local telephone network.

7 Licensed (FBG) vs Unlicensed Spectrum Licensed Broadcast- UHF 500Mhz-899Mhz Regulated by Government Unlicensed Broadcast- 900Mhz-2.4Ghz Unregulated open bandwidth Point to Multi Point Broadcast System -Broadcast Low frequency allows for greater signal penetration through foliage and tailored for the challenges of a typical rural community. -Higher broadcast frequencies are blocked and/or have difficulty penetrating through foliage and trees. -Near “Line-of-Sight” signal allows coverage signal to “Bend”around hills and valleys to reach customer. -”Line of Sight” transmission requires a non-obstructed path between transmitting and receiving antennas for connectivity. -Licensed broadcast allows for frequency specific broadcast thus preventing any interference or interruption from any other transmission signals. -Non-licensed frequency transmission by many carriers cause unreliable service and interference and security concerns. Licensed Backhaul- 6Ghz,11Ghz*(Canada)Unlicensed Backhaul 5.8Ghz*(Canada) Point to Point (Life Line to the Network) - Dedicated License spectrum provides an uninterrupted link “Life Line” communication backbone. - The unlicensed wireless backbone that provides a communication “life line” is vulnerable to interference. - The non interference of signal results in higher speeds, quality and secure communication to the base station. - The signal interference lowers speed, quality of service and system performance thus creating challenges for reliable service.

8 Prioritized Broadband Usage

9 Applications to Industry Canada were procured, equipment was purchased, programmed and mounted on an existing broadcast tower in a rural community called Whitecourt, Alberta. Proof of Concept using FBG Technology Solutions Using the FBG technology solutions as applied to the UHF broadband we created a coverage area of 50 km radius, versus the typical 5 km radius, from a microcell tower. Process Results

10 Residential Viability After the proof of concept, the Company went forward implementing a community connection business model. With a R&D investment of $15 Million, FBG spent 4 years of installs, thousands of hours of tweaking and fine tuning to test and improve the capabilities and limitations of the UHF spectrum. After perfecting the business model in Whitecourt, Alberta, the Company built its second FBG Technology System to service Grande Prairie, Albert and its surrounding areas. Connection to local businesses and residences in Whitecourt, Alberta was achieved by utilizing a small two way antenna outside the building and a transceiver and a router inside.

11 FBG Expanding its Alberta Coverage The Company has licensed network coverage along the Alaskan Highway #43 in Western Canada. Each System has an approximate coverage of 50 km radius or 8,000 square km. 40,447 Residential Homes 4,272 Businesses Thousands of Well Heads 10 First Nation Settlements Resulting in Coverage of Total Network Coverage of 64,000 Square Km

13 Sample of FBG Rural Installation Gov't Services, Health, Schools, Social Networking, Monitoring Over 5,000 Well Heads

14 Reliable Broadband Services to Rural Industries Businesses, Farming, Mining, Oil/Gas, Well Heads & Camps Trailer Camp Site Mine pit Open pit Gas Well Heads Gas well Farming Oil Fields Industrial Camps

15 Rapid Deployment Mobile Tower - Carrier on Wheels (COW) Portable mobile towers provide network and wireless coverage Emergency response during disaster relief Quick deployment for recovery of any system tower issue Perfect short term solution for exploration in the mining and oil/gas industries.

16 FBG Network Operation Center (NOCC) The NOC’s certified engineers monitor all the services of the systems and optimize the performance of the network. We route issues to certified engineers who take immediate responsibility for all service tickets. 24/7 Intelligence Monitoring Fully Redundant NOCC

17 Next Steps 1NDA for Virtual Online Secure Communications Portal To establish a secure online folder specific for each project to share communications between FBG and the client. 2The client applies to the Government to secure a frequency specific license All licences and permits required from the Government will need to be acquired by the client before FGB can complete the final project proposal. 3Preliminary Questionnaire & Requirements Documents Client defines their goals, objectives and high level details of the proposed project. 4FBG Drafts initial ProposalProvides a point of reference for location, cost and scope of the project after engineers have shared feedback (regional and local) 5Acceptance of Proposal with a $75,000 Refundable Retainer FBG will allocate the resources and start the process towards creating the final detailed proposal. 6Client Authorizes the Detailed Proposal & Signs Contract 7Fill out the Loan Agreements for Northstar Finance If required by the client FGB has arranged a financing partner that is knowledgeable in his sector.
