1
You are what you exhale Every time that we exhale We release volatile compounds
2
Scientists can analyze our breath They collect all the volatiles …and tell you how healthy are your lungs!
3
Now imagine what we can do… lung information piece of exhaled air
4
The answer is… We are a company that develops medical devices to analyze breath and diagnose “Tuberculosis” and “Aspergillosis” at same TIME!
5
Why Tuberculosis and Aspergillosis? Tuberculosis and Aspergillosis share the same clinical presentation. The bronchoalveolar lavage to diagnose aspergillosis is invasive and painful.
6
Why Tuberculosis and Aspergillosis? 7,982 cases of Tuberculosis were notified in the UK in 2013 Aspergillosis affects over 1,000,000 people Over 25,000 deaths are estimated every year 95 % of Tuberculosis occurred in developing countries Over 3,000,000 cases of Aspergillosis were reported worldwide. 12 % of those cases were related to tuberculosis. Over 3,000,000 cases of Aspergillosis were reported worldwide. 12 % of those cases were related to tuberculosis.
7
Breath analysis: from invasive to non-invasive PCR methods & Antobodies tests Mass spectrometry & Gas chromatography Breath analysis with gold & carbon nanoparticles Gold & carbon nanoparticles specific to volatile chemicas from Aspergillus and Tuberculosis
8
How to transport the air to the breath analyzer? Mask Platform: Voltron 1.0
9
Competitive advantage Turn-around time at least 12 hours Invasive 64.5% sensitivity 93.2% specificity Price range £75-£1,500 Detection in 1 min Non-invasive 96.7 % sensitivity 98.3 % specificity Portable Price £40 OUPS!

Human resources Aaron Hernandez Cid (CEO): Aaron is a true entrepreneur, and a co-founder of several start-ups (e.g. Cloudpaper), Starting in "Los Zetas Corp." Juarez, Mexico where he had the role of CEO and continuing to head Beltrán-Leyva Ltd. dealing mostly with oil. Aaron found out from the news about the severe breathing problems his corporation had caused, in fact after suffering from a personal family loss he've decided to start up a company which will provide cheap solutions for any breath detectable illnesses, he teamed up with Evaldez a young researcher and decided to start with fungus detection in lungs. Evaldez Klumbys (R & D): Young researcher, after finishing his PhD in Fungus research and lung deseases etc. he started to look for practical opportunities to make some money. He gained some work experience in the GSK where he has developed a special mask design for breath analysis. He travelled to several conferences where he met Aaaron during one of the Pitch for investment sessions. Evaldez was glad to take the role of R&D director in Volatronics. Aiah Khateb. (Marketing): M.Sc in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases at Calgary's Center of Antimicrobial Resistance, Canada. Winner of Canadian Microbiology Marketing Award, 2014, Victoria AMMI Canada. Has 2 years marketing experience from the Canadian innovation centre. Currently works on identifying novel Molecular Detection & Mechanisms of Antifungal Resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus as a researcher, at University of Manchester. Always felt like there is not enough exposure to the dangers and severity of illnesses related to fungus. As a leading researcher in this field Aiah felt obligated to join any company that will address fungus related illnesses and especially she was happy to take the marketing role as she is very passionate and motivated to rise awareness in this field.

Leonid is a team player and an HR specialist with a long experience of managing and coordinating international and multidisciplinary teams at CERN. Leonid is a polyglot with a deep knowledge of Mandarin which facilitates the collaboration with our manufacturers in China.
18
Strengths, Weakness, Opportunity & Threats Strengths: Key player in rapid detection kits market Unique and novel detection technique Backed by scientific authorities of the field Focus on product R&D in broadening horizontal applications Weakness Weak brand reputation Local activity on national scale Early stage, high risk for investors Opportunities Solutions for different invasive diseases. Upgrading the current immobile analysis stations in hospitals and clinics to portable devices Become a self-distributor Large investment in R&D and patenting Customer’s health leads to growth in reputation and increase of clients Threats Medium accuracy of detection There is no unified database with breath data, which limits R&D Competitive threat from companies with similar emerging technology
19
Financials & Profitability Sales forecast This and the other financials statements are based on best guesses. Relevant info: market analysis indicates that 62% of profit for the biosensor market is generated by distributors, 12% by manufacturers. We license the technology to manufacture and distribute, but we are concerned to develop new products to diagnose lung cancer, diabetes and arthritis. UK is a leading country in research for developing new medical devices, grants of research councils and also the market of infectious diseases is 80% based on LATAM, therefore cheap devices and easy to use are relevant.
