  2. Introduction Service & Value Proposition Yellowpepper provides Mobile Financial Solutions that allow consumers, businesses and institutions to effectively conduct monetary and informational transactions. Target Market The Company has introduced its services initially to the “banked” sector of the Latin American population. And subsequently will continue with the “un-banked” sector (those without formal bank accounts) Which constitutes some 300 million individuals and represents a buying power of more than USD 200 billion per year. Current Status The Company presently services over 300,000 mobile banking consumers in four countries. 2

  3. The Problem Every day more than 200 million Latin American consumers face challenges in fulfilling their daily responsibilities. These include the simple tasks of banking, bill paying, purchasing items at a local retailer and paying credit cards statements. • Low penetration of Internet to the Household (5-15%) • Medium penetration of Banking to the House Hold (30% to 50%) • Making payments by mail is not an option available in most of Latin America • Difficult to access physical service or payment centers in rural areas (banks, kiosks, etc.) • Personal Security risks as “unbanked” people are forced to carry cash in their pockets at all times 3

  4. The Solution Yellowpepper’s solutions address those problems that are nationwide in Latin America and that stem from the inherent lack of proper infrastructure for telecommunications, banking, postal delivery and transportation. These solutions come in the form of the following products and services: DESCRIPTION PRODUCTS Yellowpepper enables pre-paid cell phone users to recharge their cell phone minutes directly from their cell phones with the press of a button. Yellowpepper could offer them special discounts for using this form of electronic transaction. M-Commerce (Top Ups) Yellowpepper sends the SMS messages on behalf of the client (Bank, Store, Utility) to inform users of something of interest to them (e.g., your payment is due, special discount on Tuesday, etc) M-Info Yellowpepper allows traveling sales people (e.g. Amway) to charge clients with debit or credit cards for goods/services using a cell phone as a virtual POS (Point of Sales). M-Commerce (Virtual POS) Yellowpepper integrates with Banks to provide push messages from the Banking institution and pull messages from clients (requesting account balance, last 5 transactions, transfer funds between accounts, etc.) M-Banking Clients will be able to receive notification from their utility companies and other billers and pay using their cell phones, avoiding traveling or queuing M-Payment Yellowpepper saves businesses money in their everyday transactions. The vast majority of foods and beverage deliveries to small establishments and kiosks are handled in cash. Cash management (counting, custody, transportation) costs about 3% of revenue. For example, a Coca Cola truck driver will be able to receive M-B2B payment from the kiosk-owner using his cell phone through the Yellowpepper solution, minimizing the need for cash transactions and costing less in the long run. M-B2B M-Wallet Yellowpepper provides the basic services of a bank to those with no bank accounts (unbanked consumers) in an affordable and easy manner. They just buy a pre-paid debit card kit at their local supermarket or pharmacy for a reasonable fee, activate the M-wallet account, deposit cash in their M-wallet account and are ready to go. Once these consumers have an M-wallet, they can take advantage of all the services listed above, plus others.

  5. Role of Yellow Pepper The Company’s solution creates a value proposition which generates new revenue opportunities and cost reductions for banks, credit cards companies, cellular companies, retailers and logistics operators while solving challenges faced by millions of Latin American consumers The basic role of YellowPepperis to act as a“neutral connector” facilitating the exchange of information and funds among institutions, businesses and consumers. 5

  6. Product Launch Evolution For phase 1 and 2 each product is marketed through the partner institution to its own consumers, providing timely cash-flow to Yellowpepper, while creating a viable path for the deployment of more capital-intensive and complex products (phase 3). End game (phase 3) opens the un-banked market – some 300 million Latin Americans with an annual purchasing power of more than USD 200 billion. The Company will essentially provide the “unbanked” consumer an M-wallet in the form of a prepaid debit account that could be accessed through the mobile device via a text message, or an actual plastic card. 6

  9. Why is the Company unique? • Sensible Business Model • Banks and other Institutions become Strategic Partners with a Revenue Generating Platform, rather than just a vendor relationship. • Revenue sharing model promotes growth in that the concept of having revenue generating agreements in exchange for actively promoting Yellowpepper’s service aligns interests and allows Yellowpepper to access a partner’s clients, resources, reputation, distribution channels, etc. • Yellowpepper’s capital structure includes high profile and influential strategic local partners that are well heeled in the business community and can facilitate access to decision makers and local players. • Yellowpepper acts as the “neutral connector” to facilitate interaction between competitors such as Banks, and Telco’s, as well as regulators. • Product-launch roadmap that creates a viable business • The proposed product launch sequence combines products with different growth curves. For phase 1 and 2 each product is marketed through the partner institution to its own consumers, providing timely cash-flow to Yellowpepper, while creating a viable path for the deployment of more capital-intensive and complex products (Phase 3: M-wallet and M-remittance). • Management Team • Yellowpepper has assembled a proven management team that brings over 70 years of experience in the fields of telecommunications, business development, fund raising, company start ups, systems expertise, finance, and department management. This team has a very clear understanding of the market along with a winning combination of experience, technology, operations, and the drive and initiative to meet targeted financial objectives. 9
