as from 2011. Filing for U.S. FDA-approval was done.
10-20% of Parkinson’s patients suffer from the late-dopa
syndrome: drugs no longer help. This is the target group for
treatment with deep brain stimulation. ANM has developed
an implant that is due to be transferred in a first human
application in 2012 to confirm long-term therapy success
with minimal side effects. The latter already was demonstrated in animal experiments and in acute human applications. ANM has the potential to come up with a breakthrough innovation in a fast-growing billion-dollar market.
Management
ANM is led by an experienced management team and
advisory team.
Business Field
ANM is a start-up, spun off from Forschungszentrum
Jülich. Its scientifically developed technology platform has
potential to generate benefits in various medical fields
(such as Tinnitus, Parkinson’s, Chronic Pain, ADHD, or
Movement Disorders after Stroke). Pioneering work in
neuromodulation devices has been developed to reduce
the disease symptoms, initially focussing on two projects,
an auditory tinnitus neurostimulator and a deep brain
stimulation implant for Parkinson’s treatment.
The basic technology (coordinated reset, CR) is widely protected by world-wide patents. ANM has shown that CR can
reduce Tinnitus by acoustic stimulation (with about 70%
treatment success). Since there is no treatment standard and
no established treatment method, CR addresses a potentially
Page 122
Dr. Jörg Stein, CEO

ANM is a technology leader in the field of neural stimulation.
The successful development and market introduction of the
advanced CR technology allows entry into billion-markets
with products which might be „game-changing . With the
universal approach of having a platform technology further
treatments can be developed, e.g. in Chronic Pain, Migraine, Movement Disorders after Stroke, Dystonia or ADHD. In
order to complete the developments and to conduct the
necessary clinical studies in the next two years, about 3 m€
are required. According to conservative planning, the
break-even will be achieved by then. ANM is currently
financed via 25 private investors and the KfW.

Working capital management is a market of the future
having enormous potential in terms of business and yields.
Target customers will be the premier small to medium sized
companies with a turnover ranging from 10 m€ to 1 bn€.
Deutsche RevoBank is aiming for a business volume of
1 m€ in the medium term. As a result of the emphasis placed by Deutsche RevoBank on working capital it has a unique selling proposal within the banking sector. The focus
will be on the areas of inventories and commodities, where
a substantial competitive advantage exists. Deutsche
RevoBank will revolutionize working capital management
because it optimizes and finances it at the same time.
Management
Dr. Uwe-Peter Hastedt, initiator and CEO of the Deutsche
Revo AG, jointly founded the MHB-Group and as the managing business partner built it up to a successful specialist
provider for working capital for small to medium sized
companies in Germany.
Business Field
Deutsche Revo AG is taking a completely new approach to
financing working capital (inventories, goods, accounts
receivable and tangible fixed assets). Innovative solutions
for working capital will be combined with the financial
power of a bank. Deutsche Revo AG has applied for a full
bank license and in the future will operate as the Deutsche
RevoBank. The start of business operations is planned for
2012. In the role of supplier and customer, Deutsche RevoBank is a part of the supply chain. The company brings
classic trading and service functions and combines these
with typical banking activities such as financing services.
The advantage for the customer is reduced capital commitment, increased liquidity, as well as improvement of ratings.
Deutsche RevoBank is a spin-off of the MHB-Group which
since 1998 has successfully provided innovative working
capital solutions for businesses with annual volumes of up
to 300 m€.

Dr. Uwe-Peter Hastedt, CEO
Deutsche Revo AG has a share capital of 1 m€, totally
owned by the MHB-Group. A current increase in equity of
15 m€ for the formation of the bank (14 million NPV shares
at 1.10€) is required. Anticipated yield 8-14% p.a. additionally increased by capital appreciation of the shares.
Preferably Deutsche Revo AG is looking for investors with
2 m€ or more.

To date, the Utah oil sands areas have not been developed,
mainly due to America’s reliance on foreign oil imports, and
the fact that until now, an effective technology has not
emerged to safely extract oil from oil sands materials. MCW
Oil Sands Recovery, LLC is planning the development of its
Asphalt Ridge oil sands lease with its unique, environmentally-friendly, proprietary technology with impressive hydrocarbon extraction levels (up to 99%), utilizing benign solvents within a closed-loop system, resulting in no greenhouse gases and oil extraction at commercially viable production costs. The technology requires no water during the
process, and no high temperatures or high pressures are
needed. It is scalable and extremely mobile, and the technology works efficiently on a wide range of oil and sediment
types (both water-based and oil-based). The technology is
highly profitable, especially during the current high oil price
ranges. Due to its outstanding oil sands recovery technology, MCW Oil Sands Recovery, LLC believes it has the keys
of technology expertise and the capability to open vast oil
sands resources to production. The timing for the development of America’s oil sands deposits could not be better.
There is a new attitude in the U.S. Government about the
dependence on foreign oil and that America’s oil sands deposits should be developed.
Business Field
Management
MCW Oil Sands Recovery, LLC will produce and market oil
extracted from oil sands resources from its lease in Asphalt
Ridge, Utah. The Company is the sole owner of the Utah Oil
Sands Lease and possesses a proprietary oil sands extraction technology, which stands alone in the industry with
respect to environmental safety and efficiency. MCW Oil
Sands Recovery, LLC expects a rapid, profitable growth
with an excellent cash flow in a large market yearning for
domestic fuel sources.
America’s oil sands resources are primarily concentrated in
Eastern Utah. The Company currently owns the mineral
rights to 50+ million barrels of proven oil sands reserves in
the prolific Asphalt Ridge area.

Millions of thermostatic heating valve actuators can be
operated from only one 6 mm^2 chip. Wireless sensor is
used as monitor or smart meter measuring temperature and
current consumption can be used from only 5 degree Celsius temperature difference. Home automation and building
technology applications offer huge potential with millions of
units per year – in Germany alone.
In the fast growing market of thermoharvesting, Micropelt
reached the highest level of industrialization, both in chip
mass production as well as application development.
Micropelts qNODE is the world’s first thermoharvesting based
wireless sensor. Many years of chip production know-how
and IP will secure it is significant competitive advantage.
Business Field
Micropelt develops and markets chip-size thermogenerators
that convert heat into milli-Watts of electrical energy. The products are manufactured on semiconductor-type mass production lines that will start its roll-out in early 2012. Economies of scale have been the driving force behind a scalable
product business model, which allows broad market penetration from industrial and commercial to the point of cost sensitive consumer applications. Increase in energy efficiency and
better resource utilization does require more and more monitoring and control of processes and facilities. Wireless sensors and actuators e.g. control heating, cooling and energy
transport and distribution. One of the biggest hurdles is the
limited lifetime of batteries when used as power supply. And
wiring cost in existing buildings and facilities can be a prohibiting factor. Micropelt products solve these problems
through recycling of waste heat as an infinite, maintenance
free, deploy-and-forget power source at minimum cost.

NTS X-Wind plants will reach a capacity of utilization of approx. 90%. The reasons for the extremly high availibilty can
be seen in the fact, that wind is more continous and stable
at higher altitude and that kites start to operate at 2 m/sec
windspeed (common windmills start at 4.5 m/sec windspeed). Therefore the investment per kWh produced per
annum with NTS power plants will be at least three times lower than with today’s windmills.

NTS developed a patented and innovative wind power
plant to harness the enormous energy of wind at an altitude
of 300-500m/1.600 feet. The NTS-Concept assembles
well-known technologies to a unique and flexible wind
power plant which is able to produce baseload energy and
is suitable to almost any territory: Automatically steered
kites drag grounded cars running on a rail system in a
closed loop. A feasibility study for BMW (plant Leipzig)
showed that a NTS X-Wind-plant (speak: Crosswind) is at
least 3x more efficient than a common windmill, that the
capacity of utilization is approx. 90%, that X-Wind plants
are suitable to nearly any territory and that they can produce nearly basload energy for lesser costs than fossil fuels. Some figures: a common windmill has 1.900 fuel load
hours at Leipzig, NTS X-Wind plants 4.650! A test track of
400m has been established at northern Germany.

Revotar’s clinical pipeline is based on the lead compound
of Bimosiamose. The small-molecule active ingredient is
the world’s most developed selectin antagonist for respiratory diseases. As a pan-selectin antagonist, Bimosiamose
is directed at the various targets of the selectin family (E, P
and L selectin), which play a central role in the development, perpetuation and worsening of inflammatory diseases. Given its entirely new, selectin-antagonist active
principle, Bimosiamose represents one of the few promising therapy approaches that make a causal fight against
inflammatory pulmonary diseases possible. In addition,
Revotar’s pipeline consists of a new generation of selectin
antagonists in the pre-clinical stage, which were developed
using the company’s own technology platform (Rational
Drug Design).

Large market opportunity with significant growth potential;
Detector C is a game changing diagnostic product for early
CRC screening;
strong value proposition of Detector C will drive adoption;
deep pipeline of earlier stage product candidates to drive

Business Field
Signature Diagnostics AG is a molecular diagnostics company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative
in vitro diagnostic tests to detect cancer at an early stage,
predict the prognosis of cancer patients and predict the
drug response of cancer patients. The Company’s lead product, Detector C, is best-in-class non-invasive blood-based
test for the early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). The
CRC screening market remains largely underpenetrated
given the low compliance rates, and as such, the Company
believes the market has significant potential to grow with
the launch of Detector C. Signature intends to target the
non-compliance segment of the market and projects the
global market opportunity for Detector C to be approximately 5 bnUS$ by 2018. The Company projects its revenues in the US and Germany to reach 1.3 bnUS$ by 2018, representing 25% market penetration. The Company intends
to launch these products in Germany in early 2012 utilizing

The costs for the SEPA implementation of the bank customers are expected to be a double-digit billion amount.
The introduction of SEPA at bank customers is a project,
which goes far beyond the accounts department. Affected
are the managements department, the staff department,
treasury, the legal department, marketing, IT, the sales
department, the mail-administrating department, archive/
research and the customer service. For that reason the
implementation of the vdb/SSC will be accomplished
through experienced consulting partners (as e.g. cirquent,
C1FinCon, Pass Consulting).

The Windreich AG is one of the leading pioneers in the development of wind energy. The company was found in 1999
and has since then; built, financed, and operated more than
1000 wind turbines (2000 MW). After successfully testing
the possibilities of onshore wind, the Windreich AG decided
to expand its field of business to include the construction
and management of large offshore wind parks. Again, the
Windreich AG found itself in a leading role in the expansion
of this new market segment which is rapidly growing. Because of its unique market position, the Windreich AG will
once again have a leading role in one of the major developments in renewable energies.
Through the company’s extensive experience in the development of onshore wind, the Windreich AG was able to secure a key market advantage by securing limited property
and building rights for offshore wind parks. According to an
industry report, the Windreich AG has secured property
rights for 40% of all possible offshore wind park projects in
the German North Sea. Windreich’s first offshore wind park,
Global Tech I consists of 80 wind turbines each with a capacity of 5 MW. The project is running on-time and is expected to be connected to the grid in 2012. Due to Windreich’s
extensive project pipeline, the company plans to realize one
offshore wind park annually.
