SNN has a new Profile for our subscribers to review and
evaluate - COMGEN CORP.
We feel this company has a strong business plan in the
environmental technology business.
THE BUSINESS:
COMGEN has developed a highly efficient process for
converting waste oils, of all types, into diesel fuel. The
importance of finding an economical solution to the problem
of waste oil cannot be over emphasized because of the
devastating impact oil can have on the fresh water supply.
One gallon of oil can pollute 1,000,000 gallons of fresh water
and 25% of waste oil being generated into the world
today is now being illegally dumped into the environment.
The principals of the company have refined this technology
over the past 15 years to the point that they can economically
operate their system and show a profit, without government
subsidies or grants. In the past this type of technology could
only be profitable with government assistance which usually
took the form of tax breaks or outright grants. This has been
the case in almost all areas of recycling to date.
BUSINESS STRATEGY:
Dr. Roy Jefferies and Mr. Peter Rzazewski, the companies
co-founders, have vended the rights to exploit this technology
into a US public company, COMGEN CORP.
Their purpose in going public now is to raise capital, which will
allow them to expand sales of the COMGEN technology, but
also to allow COMGEN to participate in Joint Ventures of the
operating side of the business.
Rather than simply selling, installing and servicing these
operations they want to participate in the downstream cash
flow and profits which they have seen their customers enjoy.
In this way they hope to gain a form of royalty from the
technology.
As an example, in Poland they have seen their primary
customer go from a one man operation, with limited
resources (as a result of which they virtually financed him
into his first operation) to a position today where he has
eight installations throughout Poland and he recently
chartered a jet to take 42 of his key employees for a one
week all expense paid vacation in Cyprus.
A significant portion of the equity that COMGEN will put
into each Joint Venture will come from their profit margin
on equipment sales.
The Joint Venture strategy is important because it will provide
a number of strengths to the enterprise:
The operating partner will be "hands on" at the local level
and they will have a significant financial investment to
protect.
The J.V. partner will have local access to feedstock
(used oil) for the plant.
They will have a collection system in the form of a truck
fleet and storage facilities for the used oil, and ideally,
they will have sufficient additional zoned land to construct
the COMGEN refining system.
The playback on COMGEN's investment in these J.V.'s is
projected to be between 2-5 years depending on the amount
of government subsidization (if any) that is available.
SIZE OF MARKET:
Messrs. Rzazewski and Jefferies have been involved in the
installation of 70 of these plants worldwide.
Over the past three years they have sold, manufactured and
installed 19 plants in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and
Australia.
They have not touched the environmentally sensitive markets
in North America or Western Europe.
The US generates 1.5 Billion gallons of waste oil each year
and it would take over 600 systems to recycle this oil alone.
Discussions have commenced with various parties in regard
to developing this market.
COMGEN also has written expressions of interest from
multi-national corporations in the Middle East/India market
and Asia, in regard to both manufacturing and operating
these systems on a Joint Venture basis. As these
discussions progress we will update our subscribers.
There are other opportunities that are being developed in
the area of co-generation of electricity from diesel powered
generators.
SUMMARY:
This is a brand new company with a proven technology that
is poised to grow rapidly.
The stock has performed extremely positively to date, no
doubt as a result of the rumors of this impending deal.
Although this can be a slow time in the market, it may provide
an opportunity to pick up the stock prior to the January -
February period which traditionally sees some of the largest
upside moves of the year.
SNN strongly recommends that you keep COMGEN CORP.
(Symbol: CGEE) on watch, as we expect some major
announcements from the company in the near future.
