MISTER received from Opole city a written promise for 6 acres land lease for the development of a 1 km certification track.

All permits for the provision of water, gas, sewage and electricity have been obtained and building permit application is being prepared.

Once we find investors for a E12 M loan or equity of 10% in the company, we’ll start developing this certification track facility.

We have plans to have it ready within 18 months of receiving funds. The project is ready and all subcontractors to build the site are in waiting.

Upon successful tests and certification, we already have permission to build a city wide system in Opole. Initially it will be 5 to 7 km of 2-way tracks, followed by a 30 km network system.

Other cities will undoubtedly be interested in acquiring such a system after the test track and certification process have been completed.

Because the winner of the MASDAR tender has been selected, we can say now that MISTER was part of this prestigious “race” and we did well. The Masdar Decision is fully understandable in the circumstances. Had our test track and certification ready, the story could be different. We hope to be ready before the next phase of Masdar expansion, so that we can compete on par with other systems, which had their designs tested in the field.

We are convinced that our solution is better in the long term. Less expensive and less visible overhead guideways, superior energy efficiency and higher throughput functionality are some of MISTER's advantages.

Several other cities in the Middle East and USA have also expressed their interest and talks are under way with 3 of them.

More investors and media are beginning to take interest. It is not a question of “IF”, but WHEN we get our systems installed.

Personal safety and anti-vandalism is of paramount importance in such a system. MISTER has successfully addressed this issue. It provides higher security than a private car, because of constant monitoring of the inside and vicinity of vehicles and stations at all times.
 
For Investors

Information for those wanting to invest in MISTER :

Offering brokerage fee of 3% and up to 3% shareholding for soliciting investors.

Forecasted ROI after 7 years : 300-600% !

MISTER is OPEN (for the moment) for all who want to invest their money or time and contacts, in making it happen.

 

Development STAGES :

1. Obtain scientific community and City Councils' support for project implementation ( DONE ! ).

This stage is already behind us, as we have the support of several professors from transport faculties at 3 of the best Polish Universities. They have stated publicly that MISTER is a “fully technically feasible project”. We have also obtained Letters of Intent from Opole City, one of Poland's Regional Capitals, providing Right of Way for a trial system and then for a 20-40 km city-wide network. There are also 2 other City Councils (Zakopane and Krynica, Poland) ready to implement MISTER as soon as it becomes available, i.e. in 2-3 years. Several other cities are considering similar orders.

2. Analysis and feasibility study - 3 mths € 500,000 - ( DONE ! ).

This stage is also behind us, as we have completed a prototype-demonstrator, which was presented at the Opole City (Poland), in September 2007. This development has confirmed and bettered all our cost and design assumptions.

3. Pilot & testing installation 1 km - 18 mths € 12 mln

We are in discussion with the growing body of various investors, although until all the shares are sold, interested investors are invited to join.

4. First city installation - 24 mths € 35 mln (7 km track)

Having in mind the costs of various city infrastructure elements (as shown below), the cost of MISTER appears to be the lowest of all transport mean.

5. Sybsequent cities installations - franchises and own development (100+ km/year)

QAfter the success of 1st commercial system, there will be no shortage of cities and investors. THis is why we anticipate development via franchising as the main means of distribution.

 

MISTER costs:

Total Cost p/km (including rolling stock) € 4 to 5 mln/km

Annual nett income per km € 1-2 mln/km

Energy cost per passenger-km € 0,01

 

Other city infrastructure costs:

Multi-level intersection - € 20-100 mln = 4-20 km of MISTER

1 km of metro in built up area (underground)- € 60+ mln = 12+ km ...

1 km of Automated People Movers (APM) - € 50+ mln = 10+ km ...

1 km of Light Rail (LTR) - € 30+ mln = 6+ km ...

1 km of 6 lane freeway in built-up areas - € 30+ mln = 6+ km ...

1 km of 4 lane highway in built-up areas - € 10+ mln = 2+ km ...

1 km of tramway in built-up areas - € 10+ mln = 2+ km ...

 

Now, only the last stage, no. 3, is critical to the success of the whole business, because stages 4,5 will be then INEVITABLE, since city transport problems will grow and there are no other, more effective solutions.

Although it seems that in the near future we might have another 2-3 cities in Poland which will pass resolutions regarding permission to install MISTER, but it is not a necessary condition for starting with stage 3 of the MISTER project and we are not even actively pursuing this effort.

Contrary to all other public city transport systems, which are heavily subsidized, MISTER will be very profitable, despite the same level of ticket pricing, or even with some reductions. The reason for this “economic miracle” are the major reductions (some 5-10 times) of :

1. energy consumption per payload

2. staffing

3. service and maintenance

- which make up 90% of the operating costs in current public transport systems.

Calculations show that a 50km MISTER network with a 7% conservative useage calculation of the total system throughput utilization, with a ticket cost of a passenger-kilometer a mere E0,20 - would produce a net annual income of some E40M (20% return on investment) with a 2 year total investment repayment !

Data and calculations are available to interested parties upon request.
