Business Overview:

CPS Biofuels has developed patented methods for producing glycerol tert-butyl ether (GTBE), a green, renewable, sustainable, non-toxic fuel additive which the company has been selling under the trademarked name CPS PowerShot®. CPS PowerShot can boost octane in existing fuel systems, which will result in improved fuel economy, reduced greenhouse gas and particulate emissions, and longer engine life. Independent tests have shown that CPS PowerShot is a better fuel oxygenate and octane booster than currently available retail based fuel additives. Additionally, CPS PowerShot is manufactured using waste glycerol from biodiesel manufacturing.

What are your future milestones, and how much capital will you need to achieve each of the milestones outlined?:

Our financial model/forecasts were performed to predict profits for CPS Biofuels (primarily initially selling 8 oz. units of CPS Powershot®). CPS Biofuels owns patents pending to develop biofuel related products. The financial model also includes market, licensing and royalty, Net Present Value, and a 25% Rule Intellectual Property valuation analysis. In addition to initial first year sales of 500,000, 8 oz.units/yr. (yielding an estimated annual EBIDTA of over $4 MM) additional valuation methods predict $1.5-$2 billion profit projections for CPS Biofuels spanning the lifetime of the IP during the initially projected 12 year production window. Currently, CPS Biofuels is seeking $6,000,000 to produce at least 100,000 gallons of GTBE which is then bottled, labeled, and sold into the retail market. This would result in over 1,000,000 8 oz. units, and allow the company to begin hiring and paying employees, launch national marketing/advertising campaigns, perform additional testing on the

What is your total and operating cash burn (the amount you're spending) per month? :

CPS Biofuels, Inc is not currently spending any money as we used the remainder of our grant money to produce, bottle and label the first production of GTBE. We are in need of a purchase order to resume manufacturing.

How many future rounds of financing do you project? :

We need one large purchase order or investment to get up and running. Once that has taken place CPS Powershot(R) should be self sufficient.

Services Desired:

Distribution/Sales

Manufacturer

Marketing

Supply Chain/Distribution

Who is the Customer?:

Any person or company who purchases fuel.

What is the Customer Pain that you are solving?:

"Pain at the Pump". Our product increases octane and therefore increases miles per gallon. When CPS Powershot (R) is added to a fuel system it is like the fuel no longer has Ethanol in it which reduces octane and mileage.

Names of any current or recent customers:

We have a few high performance auto clubs using our product but for the purpose of protecting their privacy, their names will not be provided. We also have the interest of a US military base whose privace we also choose to protect.

What is the Target Market?:

The target market is anyone who purchases octane boosting agents for their vehicles, military white fleets, anyone who uses high combustion engines and/or anyone who purchases and uses fuel.

How big is the Target Market in terms of Annual Sales?:

$200M-$500M

Sales/Marketing Strategy:

As of now, we have our product in one auto parts store and are selling it through our website. Some of our purchases have come from word of mouth and contacts made at conferences about clean energy.
