1 NRSP-6 Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin June 23, 2015 CETS Perspective

2 CETS Controlled Environment Phytotrons  Designed to rapidly produce potato tubers (AstroTubers TM )  Patented technology  Sold and fabricated to order  Best suited for seed  Includes user training and technical support

3 CETS technology offers the following advantages:  Cost effective propagation using plant cuttings  Small footprint yet eliminates the need for Greenhouses  Eliminates the need for thousands of expensive plantlets  AstroTubers TM break dormancy in 45 days  Each phytotron is a molecular farming facility  Production of other crops can be developed by special order

4 Key Features of the CETS AstroTubers TM Production System:  Yields zero pathogen potato nuclear stock (AstroTubers TM )  Planting of stem cuttings  Controlled Environment means no pesticides (insecticides or herbicides)  Thousands of AstroTubers TM from a single plant  6 growth cycles possible every year  Phytotron operation is climate and season independent  Small production space requirements  Economical operation and production costs  Initial field multiplication starts with high quality AstroTubers TM  Unique software for programming optimal environmental conditions by cultivar

5 CETS Technology Facilitates:  Early field evaluation of new potato cultivars  Rapid multiplication of new potato cultivars to commercial quantities  Production of either organic or genetically modified materials

6 Eliminating Pathogen Risk Using Phytotrons CETS LLC High Quality Seed Potato Production System Mother Plants from Tissue Culture Plantlets Grown in Phytotrons 2 Node Cuttings from Mother Plant Stems Cuttings Grown in Phytotrons AstroTubers TM Produced from Cuttings Field Multiplication of AstroTubers TM

7 Many Advantages: Less “Input” Material Required 10 VS 100K Less Pathogen Risk – Better Quality Phytotron VS Greenhouse Fewer Years In The Field – Up To 5! 40X Output/M 2 Vs Greenhouse Less Expensive Product In 5 Fewer Years Carry 3 Years Of Material “Inventory” VS 8 Is A Greenhouse Really A “Controlled Environment”? Why Is It Limited To 1 (Maybe 2) Cycles / Year Why Are Pesticides / Insecticides Required Why Do Growing Impediments Carryover Cycles

8 Better Yield / Higher Quality Requires High Quality Seed Pathogen Resistance Less Pathogen Exposure Both = BIG Win! Develop New Varieties Phytotron Controlled Environment Shorter Time To Market
