EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

What is the Business Concept?

NETLogistiK is an electronic logistics marketplace

Ù NETLogistiK will develop an Internet based B2B logistics marketplace in Latin America with the objective of allowing shippers t o
manage and contract their freight transportation needs more efficiently. NETLogistiK will focus on the medium/large cargo
market. The line of service will range from single to multiple truckload shipments.

What is the opportunity?

The market is attractive – large, fragmented and inefficient

Ù The Latin American for-hire transportation market is calculated at $50-60 billion
Ù NETLogistiK will originally focus on trucking, which represents around 80% of the market
Ù Preliminary estimates show that NETLogistiK could generate revenues in the range of $250 million by 2003/4
Ù The industry is highly fragmented. Top 10 players have less than 2% market share
Ù Shippers have to rely on several carriers to fulfill their shipping needs. The average medium/large-size company in Latin
America interacts with over 15 carriers
Ù Currently there is no efficient way to contract and compare shipping services

The marketplace solution is attractive to both shippers and carriers

Ù Shippers will benefit in terms of transportation cost and service by extending the choice of carriers and reducing purchasing
costs
Ù Carriers will benefit from expanding their customer reach and the opportunity to optimize back haul loads (return trip)

The development of e-commerce will fuel the size of the market further
Ù The surge of electronic commerce will add to the number of shipments by promoting trade across geographies
Ù Additionally, the frequency of shipments will increase as a result of more coordination and communication across companies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Cont.)

How will NETLogistiK business model work?

Main revenue will come as a percentage of transactions

Ù NETLogistiK will derive most of its revenues from transaction commissions (e.g., 2.5 -3.5%1) and cargo insurance referral.
Additionally, it will generate reven
ues from other products/services such as customs advisory, warehousing and cargo
management, and clearing services
Ù Once NETLogistiK captures a critical mass of trucks in the system, it will offer a vertical market of spare-parts for trucks (e.g. tire s
and purchasing aggregation servicesfor gas and lubricants

High-margin business
Ù This web-enabled intermediary model willbenefit from lowcapital intensity andhigh operational leverage. Resulting in high
operating margins (50%) similar to those of other virtual marketplaces (e.g. Ebay, CommerceOne, etc)

Success will be based on early alliances and partnerships with key players
Ù To begin operations NETLogistiK will develop alliances and partnerships with key forwarders, carriers
and shippers using stock
options
Ù Shipper acquisition will be through joint marketing agreements with B2B verticals and through targeted sales efforts focused o
leading brick and mortar companies.

Operations will focus on main Latin American markets

Ù Operations would first start in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, to then expand to other attractive markets
Ù We expect to achieve economies of scale by sharing the technology across several markets

Is this a proven model?

Similar models are working in the U.S- Latin America is still up for grabs!
Ù Similar business models are already working in the U.S (e.g.,
CarrierPoint, Celarix, NTE,). Investors seem to have great
confidence in this business model. US players have received
over $50 million in funding. Successful IPO’s may follow.
Ù The European market has seen some sites coming to market. However, it is behind the U.S. and still in a very early stage.
Ù Latin America is largely untapped. There is no competitor that has entered this region capable of rationalizing the transportatio
market yet.

1 in line with industry standards(e.g.,cargowerks charges 2.5%, carrierpoint charges4.0%, and an average forwarder marginsis 12%) 3

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Cont.)

Strengths of the management team

Ù Diverse top notch management expertise (consulting, operations,-commerce)
e
Ù Combination of local business management with US -work experience
Ù Contacts with local players and governmental authorities
Ù Network of professionals/MBAs throughout Latin America
Ù Access to US business networks (e.g., McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, CSFB, etc)

What have we done so far?

Strategic alliance with CarrierPoint

Established alliance with leadingUS transportation marketplace. CarrierPoint will license its software solution and share its industry
know-how. Both companies will work together to solve inefficiencies of shipments between Mexico and the US (largest trading bo
in the world). This event was reported in newswires and in the cover page of Wall Street Journal Americas.

Partnerships with carriers

Established partnerships/ initial participation agreement with key carriers in Mexico and Argentina.

Partnerships with shippers

Established initial participation agreement with shippers in Mexico and Argentina

Launched main offices

Established presence in Mexico, Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo.

TARGET MARKET- MEXICO

• The Mexican commercial transportation industry amounted to US$13-14 billion in 19981.

• Truck transport dominates the movement of goods. Of all modes of transport, trucks captured over 80% of the
value generated by the sector.

• The market was deregulated in the early 90’s and remains highly fragmented. The capacity of the Mexican market
is composed of 330,000 trucks. Of these, around 40,000 are owner-operated trucks and 290,000 are distributed
among the close to 6,000 registered firms2.

• The top 50 carrier firms in Mexico amass a capacity of over 12,000 trucks, representing only 3.7% of the total.
These are firms with at least 120 units each and an average of 250 units for the group.

• Because of this fragmentation, most medium to large firms deal with many carriers; 15-30 for the largest firms3.

• Purchasing of local logistic and transportation is very inefficient, as shippers have to contact carriers individually,
usually by phone. Large logistics intermediaries (e.g. CH Robinson, Danzas) have limited penetration and have
focused on international movement of goods and not local distribution.

• NetLogistiK estimates that in the Mexican market alone it can attain a capacity of close to 17,500 trucks
participating in the exchange. This implies getting 10-15 of the top 50 carrier firms to participate and 300 medium
sized firms out of the universe of 6,000 that exist today.
