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.
