Investment opportunity

It is estimated that the Bergen Energy System could turn over 100 trillion US dollars world-wide in the long term. The underlying calculation is very simple. Marketing a product of this magnitude into more than 1,000 market segments, will require a Group of at least 50 major corporations each turning over a typical US$ 30 bn p.a. That gives $1.5 tn p.a. Multiply that by 17 years (patent period of first concept), which equals $ 25.5 tn. Multiply that by three (3 Bergen engine concepts are under development) = $75 tn.

Add to that the manufacture and marketing of new Bergen VTOL and other technologies presently under development, acquisitions and expansion over a period of 50 years. As stated, the Bergen Engineİ/Motor will be manufactured and marketed in to 1000 + market segments, e g in computer drives, office equipment, home power generation, household appliances, lawn products, motor cycles, cars, trucks, locomotives, jet and other aircraft, ships, power plants, missiles, tanks and other military applications. Bergen Enginesİ/Motors will eventually replace all engines and motors on the planet.

Power stations (first priority market segment) will now be 80-90% smaller; practically all equipment and buildings in existing power plants will be removed except the generators on site. Only Bergen Engines will then be added, to form Bergen motor-generator sets.

Stockpiles of power plant fuel (e g coal) will be sold off to reduce the cost of changing over to Bergen energy. The largest suppliers of electricity to at least 2 major industrialised countries have expressed strong interest; so that probably in this (non-US) market segment alone US$ 200 billion of Product would be sold in a short space of time; marketability is absolutely assured. Where the USA market segment is concerned, the Bush administration made repeated assertions during April/May 2001 that the nation needs to build a big new power plant every week for 20 years to keep up with the demand for electricity (NY Times, May 6 2001).

Additionally, a major German Car Manufacturer indicated that they will negotiate IMMEDIATELY after the positive evaluation of the prototype presently under construction. A major-major overseas oil company has indicated that they want to go into business with us. The participation of all the above major players will have a domino effect.

We will also be establishing Engine Replacement Centres throughout the world. At such centres, members of the public can drive in during the morning, buy a new engine cash or on terms, and fetch the car in the evening as if it was a mere servicing operation, with a Bergen engine under the bonnet. (Initially targeting the used car market will steer clear of disrupting the flow of new cars to economies.) The conventional engine being replaced, will be sold by Bergen for its own account as part of the transaction. When reselling the vehicle, it will have a very high resale value, as the equity resides mainly in the engine.

The simplicity of the Engine makes it accessible also to less sophisticated economies.

The Bergen Operation is presently being managed by a world-class core management team, who will become members of the board of Bergen Holdings. One of the key managers, who has vast experience in Technology Business, has a 40% stake in a NASDAQ quoted company (is one of the originators of that Company).

The Bergen Board, a Think Tank containing "Greenspan" class brainpower and an international conglomerate of blue chip corporate & other consultants, will manage the emerging Group. World-wide patenting will follow some provisional patent applications that have been filed on earlier designs in the Bergen family of designs, through which proof of IPR has been secured.

An equity investment of US$ 10m will fetch 0,5% in the International Holding Company (potentially the equivalent of 50% in a major US Corporation) and 1% in the main US or other subsidiary (there will be one in each major country). In the megabucks phase, an investment of US D 5 billion, will fetch 2% in the Holding Company, 5% in the Main US (or other major) Subsidiary.

A stake of this order in an emerging industry of this magnitude, is realistic. Earlier this year (2001), Britain's Vodafone Group paid $2.5 billion for a 2 percent stake in China's biggest telephone company, China Mobile Communications. Hong Kong's Hutchison Whampoa holds a 2 percent stake in China Unicom, China's second mobile telephone operator. An interim round of investment in the Bergen Operation could be an amount of US$ 1m, fetching a pro-rata stake.

A corporate or merchant bank would, of course, find all capital needed for a stake of 1% in the operation, Bergen paying off the loans at competitive rates. In the case of utilities and other key Players, special discounts will be negotiated as well as top priority in delivery.

The vast cash flows from the Operation will, over time, finance all expansion undertaken by such Players.
