1
Salad Greenhouse grows the healthiest produce in the world – with 43 minerals. We are the only ones that offer such nutrient rich produce. It is the key to longevity and wellnes.
2
Designed for year round operation anywhere
3
Main Products Salads – packaged varieties Culinary herbs Health food supplements EMA vegetable juices Fast Foods Vine crops Root Crops
5
Vine crops when market is right
6
Salad crops are key ingredients in fast foods Sprout Wraps
7
EMA (Electrolyte, Mineral, Antioxidant) Health Supplement 43 Minerals for maintaining health: the only product of its type in the world.
8
Production Advantages Year round growing in any weather or climate Harvest one crop per month (on average) No soil is used Crops are tended standing up so there is no fatigue Competitive price with field grown crops Pure, clean crops – no harmful bacteria Agricultural land not needed Renewable fuels – no fossil fuels Low cost heat and electricity that controls production costs

Immunity depends on trace minerals T cells attacking cancer cell Dead cancer cell

11
Sales and Distribution Internet Internet based sales where products are sold via the internet and delivered by courier Personal delivery contracts Highest income Agency stores Sold through storefront franchised distributors Based on Esso and Apple models We own our market Restaurants, caterers, institutions, walk in, events, hotels, hospitals, schools The most profitable method Retail Sold through retail stores Lowest margins
12
Imports to Canada Canada imports 53% of all produce and almost 100% of all fruits Imports of vegetables are $2.83 billion per year The average distance vegetables and fruit travel to market is 4,497 km In 15 years imports have risen 160% while the population has risen 15% Field cropland dropped 12% from 2009 to 2010 Small farms are disappearing at a fast rate We may lose the ability to grow many of the foods we eat Canadian demand for fresh food is rising every year
13
Competition is drying up – this is the official new normal (NOAA) and not a cycle – next years are worse
14
Salad Greenhouse designed the Buzzard biomass generator Supplies heat and electricity Burns all types of renewable fuels Pollution free Carbon credits can pay for the fuel Can be used for community heating and electricity
15
We build, train, and provide service
16
Built 6 scale models: 5 in Alberta, 1 in B.C.: Proven technology Scale model #1 1990: 10,000 sq.ft. Scale model # 6, 2011. 81 cm/32” In 20 days
17
Typical Range Performance The following describes the expected operation of 2 ranges growing produce for fresh food. Number of ranges 2 Market population 30,000 Area 5 - 10 acres Direct employment 24 (not including construction or sales) Gross annual sales 4 mill Gross Profit Range (ebidta* ) 30 – 45% Sustainable Export markets worldwide for both greenhouses and biomass generators * (ebidta – earned before interest, depreciation, taxes, amortization)
18
Incomes are steady One crop a month keeps revenues up – in any climate or weather Jobs are steady, with no seasonal layoffs; our harvest staff is 4 times as productive as field workers
19
Development Strategy 1.Build the first range 2.Expand financing 3. Domestic market: Expand the first project. Do joint ventures coast to coast in Canada for affordable, healthy, year round produce 4. Offshore market: U.S., South America, and Asia 5.Financing options: License Agreement : SG receives royalty Joint Venture Agreement: SG owns equity in project Sole Ownership: SG owns project outright; public company may be the option
20
The Business Case 150 agents ready in 150 cities worldwide: Canadian Trade Commission
21
The Business Case 10 projects are ready to start Sustainable communities in planning stage Qualify for 30% BC provincial tax credit (EBC) Supported by provincial and municipal gov’ts 1,000,000 + customers for our plant juices First in the world backed by trade secrets Range productivity can be 4 times as high as field agriculture
22
Financing First 2 ranges turn key: $6.5 M (includes 14.6 acres, house, and shop) Per Additional range: $3 M Financing options: License Agreement : SG receives royalty, investor own project Joint Venture Agreement: SG owns equity in project Sole Ownership: SG owns project outright; public company may be the option Community Title of single greenhouses earning 8% average Investment options Invest in the core company, a joint venture, or license agreement Each one has its advantages.
