What are the competitive advantages of the Hawkeye Security? Hawkeye Security offers:

Optimized performance - Our Linux-based digital video surveillance and security applications are borne out of intensive planning & research, passionate development and numerous tests to ensure a high performance security solution. Hawkeye Security can be customized to provide only optimum performance. Scalability Change is the only thing that is constant. Hawkeye Security can deliver reliable, durable and stable protection today and tomorrow, adapting to the growth of company security and safety needs. We provide innovative products that match what the customer needs. Value for your Money A PC-based DVR, which costs from $1,000 to $4,000 has higher performance and larger capacity storage. Such are ideal for large offices. Standalone DVRs range from $400 to $1,000 and are perfect for small shops, like 7 Eleven and small offices. But how does an organization choose which one is right solution for them? We sit down with our clients in order to come up with the best solution and the right price for their security needs.

Take a look at some of the key advantages & benefits of Linux-based security solutions: Optimized system performance - Since Linux is an open-source, the DVR (for instance) system can be customized to include only functions and services which the customers need. Unnecessary applications such as e-mail and spreadsheet programs may be removed while some services may be fine-tuned to deliver optimized system performance. When you boot a Hawkeye DVR, the security application will auto-launch...and that is the only application inside the server. More reliable, stable and secure - Because Linux can be customized, it means that the operating system is not constantly carrying unnecessary application code. This increases the DVR's system reliability simply because there are fewer services running. Your surveillance system is also less susceptible to attacks since most of the active computer viruses today that have been designed to strike server & desktop applications cannot damage anything (because the applications are not running). Moreover, Linux provides the ability for security and surveillance equipment developers to go directly into the code to remedy performance vulnerabilities. High-speed viewing, recording & playback - Optimized Linux-based DVRs and surveillance applications require less memory or RAM. It also provides a bigger hard drive space.

Our Hawkeye Linux DVR solutions were built on the digital multimedia standard MPEG-4 codec. MPEG-4 delivers professional-quality audio and video streams over a broad range of bandwidths, from dial-up to broadband, in several distribution channels, from wireless to satellite television. MPEG-4 delivers DVDquality video at low data rates and smaller file sizes and it can be viewed in most media players, such as Windows Media Player, Quicktime and RealPlayer. What are the advantages of MPEG4 over other codecs? Motion JPEG & wavelet compression tend to limit video resolution and frame rate. With MPEG-4, frame rates reach 30 frames per second, thereby delivering true real-time video. MPEG-4 has smaller file sizes, thus allowing fast distribution over low bandwidths and longer hours for storage

MPEG-4 provides interoperability, such that videos are readable in most applications.

By now, many are aware of the advantages of a digital video recorder over VCRs: better images; superior search capability; simultaneous recording, playback and live display; flexible network and remote management capabilities; and robust integration with systems, such as access control systems, POS, and storage systems. The DVR market is growing at a very strong rate, with approximately 27% of all recorder units sold in the US in 2000 were digital. By the end of 2002, the number had increased to 39%. The most significant technological advances are occurring at the higher end of the market. The DVR is moving from a recording box to a sophisticated system loaded with video management features. Some cool DVR enhancements are a combination of a DVD/multiplexer, video content analysis, and out-of-the-box modular software solutions. Other innovations include neural network processing, which allows security personnel to have the system automatically look for a specific object that was detected during playback. Some DVRs can now analyze the color, shape and size of an object. It can also adjust its parameters to an existing situation and learn what counts as normal behavior in that environment. Then it can watch for anything that does not fit that model. Another feature concerns the frame rate. Some DVRs can auto-adjust frame rate of stored video based on preset conditions. Some solutions have multi-zone motion detection. Another advancement in DVRs is integration with many systems such as access control systems and POS. DVR integrated with POS systems offers search by time and date, cashier, receipt number, transaction type, credit card or product. This integrated solution can also generate graphs of employee activity and other reports. There is also a big space-saving benefit users get from DVRs, because of advancing technologies in storage solutions. Being able to provide wireless video transmission is also an interesting development. These transmissions include viewing recorded video from cellphones, PDAs and wireless PCs. Some manufacturers are about to release network servers, hybrid DVRs, and server-type DVRs. In China, manufacturers are now focusing on standalone DVRs built on the Linux OS, customized industry application, network ability, optimized storage use and extension applications.

What features, benefits and advantages will our products and services have for the market? Businesses demand profits and millions of people around the world want a safe and secure place to live, work and play. Security drawbacks lead to loss of millions of money and deaths. Hawkeye Security aims to provide a safe and sound environment for people around the world. It seeks to improve workplace efficiency, prevent criminal offenses, and deliver safety and security. The LX DVR Series product will offer the following:

17

high performance and reliability* (no system crashes, no slow video speeds, no virus attacks!) first class video compression using a dual-speed full hardwired MPEG-4 encoder that can processes a 16 channel DVR 480 CIF video in real-time unrivaled audio bitrate of 5.3 - 6.3 kbps (G.723 format) to ensure clear and understandable audio crisp and high quality images, allowing full motion video for superior facial recognition smooth real-time playback, optimized bandwidth utilization (lower data rates) and more storage space multi-level access control for increased management flexibility unmatched stability to ensure continuous recording for hours or days integration with access control systems, energy conservation solutions, storage servers and much more

The HX DVR Series has the following benefits (on top of the LX DVR Series benefits):

Easy, single and highly accessible Video Management - Users can monitor, record and manage IP video with any web browser-based device like a PC, PDA or a mobile phone. Internet connection is all that is needed. Multiple cameras and locations can be accessed and monitored from a single log-on. Value for your money The HX DVR Series is the most expensive and high-end DVR solution, but when you think about the total cost of ownership over an analog CCTV/DVR system, the incremental cost of the cameras are not significant when compared to adding DVRs on site, additional cabling and installation. Complete integration - Both IP and analog cameras can be accessed and monitored on one screen Intelligent recording and intelligence at the camera level* - Video is recorded and or transmitted only when a specific event or alarm is triggered, which saves up on video storage as well as network bandwidth. Where else does action take place but in the DVR system itself? This makes it difficult to run intelligent video applications. However, the hybrid pushes intelligence out to the camera level, to allow functions such as built-in event handling, sensor input, relay output, video motion detection and other capabilities allow IP cameras to make decisions on when to send alarms and to whom, when to send video, and even at what frame rate or resolution to send the video. Scalability - Users can scale the system from one camera to thousands of cameras in individual increments. On the contrary, DVRs usually require users to increase in 8-channel or 16-channel jumps, even if only one additional camera is actually added to the network.

The SX DVR Series offers:

Durability in order to stand the test of time and meet rigorous environments Reliability and stability via an embedded Linux platform Increased retail/commercial transaction management capabilities via integration of video and transaction data, report generation, power searches and much more

18

The MX DVR Series provides:

Peace of mind, by providing high-quality products that guarantee safety for passengers and drivers Cost-effectiveness and efficiency to meet a variety of mobile needs, such as being able to track the speed, zone, route, or locale of the vehicle or being able to track driver performance Easy-to-use digital video recording solutions that offer clear and crisp images and audio, alarm and GPS (Global Positioning Systems) integration and much more Faster recovery of stolen assets and reduction in insurance premiums

Theres also an essential percentage of B2B transactions taking place online, which poses as a big opportunity for us. Trade Shows (at least 2 of the major safety and security trade shows) Participation in trade shows is a very effective way to meet business clients and consumers alike. It will provide us the opportunity to introduce our company and our products and services. Dealer Promotions o Incentives o Discounts

o o

21

Providing dealers with the right incentive will make them push our products to the market. An example would be giving the dealer a free product sample if the dealer is able to meet a specific quota for a given period of time. We also have set up a different types of dealer membership, such as a Platinum Membership, which in this case the dealer will receive the lowest dealers price, on the condition that they sell this corresponding volume and amount of product. Initially, we will be sourcing out many dealers. This will get our products out into the security channel sector. We will maintain cooperative relations with these dealers and we will make sure that we set reasonable performance standards. We shall guarantee the dealers responsibility for promoting and marketing the products. The dealers shall commit a launch plan with a budget to ensure success. Dealers shall ensure that any marketing strategy or plan does not deviate; harm or damage our marketing objectives for the product. The dealers must at all times uphold the product and carry on an organized and effective marketing plan for the product. We will also provide full product and technical support Business Partnerships Our aim to get to know the key players in the industry and learn the marketing strategies that they deploy. There is a big opportunity to integrate certain business applications with our products, such as POS, ATM, traffic systems, and police & military systems.

On top of these promotional methods, we also plan to create new business cards, new product presentations, case studies of safety and security requirements in vertical markets, and an online product demonstration. We want to be the top-of-the-mind digital video recorder provider. We believe that the mix of print, word of mouth and online advertising will instill strong product recognition. How do we set price policies? Our prices are very competitive, providing value for the customers investment. We use standard methods of setting the price via thorough evaluation of product demand, volume of demand, and competitors prices. Our 8ch DVR cards selling retail price is from $800 to $850. Our OEM price for the 8ch DVR card ranges from $400 to $450, depending on the volume of order. Based on our research, our price is 10%-15% lower compared to other products in the market. In fact, there are some cards (16 channel input and software MPEG4 compression) which offer dealers price equal at our OEM price. The same cards SRP ranges from $950-$1,000. Our DVR system prices are also very competitive, with the LX-8000 Series SRP from $3,000 to $3,500. Other DVR systems which have similar functions as our product, except for hardware MPEG4 compression technology, are priced from $3,500 to $4,500. Price is one of the major factors when consumers purchase products. We do not wholly believe in lowering the price, just so to sell our products, although it works sometimes. We value maintaining a competitive price and we believe in other factors, such as quality, support and service. To accommodate customers who have financial concerns, we have developed several methods of payment such as leasing, installments, discounts, and demo-to-buy strategies. What is the proposed business location?

22

II. Operational Plan Production At present, Neugent Global China is dedicated to outsourcing manufacturing companies for hardware production. All products are shipped to the Neugent Technologies R&D Center Philippines for testing to ensure that all products are designed and produced to meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations. Quality Control Failure Testing All our products undergo failure testing in Neugent Technologies Philippines to expose any unanticipated weaknesses. It is only after the engineering team has conducted the necessary improvements that they are sent for production. Total Quality Control To avoid major problems which may lead to a decrease in sales, Neugent Global makes sure that the specifications of all our products meet or even exceed customer requirements especially in terms of reliability, maintainability, and safety. We follow the following procedure:

1. 2. 3. 4.

Marketing clearly defines the customer requirements.. Specifications had to be defined to conform to these requirements. Conformance to specifications were introduced during development and manufacturing. Management had makes sure that the number of engineers is equal to the work imposed on them and holidays, celebrations and disputes did not affect any of the quality levels. 5. Inspections and tests were carried out, and all components and materials bought in or otherwise, conformed to the specifications. 6. Any complaints received from the customers were timorously and satisfactorily dealt with. 7. Feedback from the user/customer is used to review designs. If the original specification does not reflect the correct quality requirements, quality cannot be inspected or manufactured into the product. Eventually, we also plan to achieve best-in-class operating practices and leverage company-wide opportunities, utilizing six sigma measurements. Customer Service Neugent Global takes time to satisfy customers. We conduct constant research to find out what our customer actually wants. We do calls and on-site visits to existing customers for maintenance of our systems and products.
