1. Introduction

1.1 Background Based on a discussion between David Tan (Fillon Technologies) and Pieter van den Enden (Eurosol Pacific) on the 27 and 28 of September 2006 a terms of reference was made by Fillon Technologies to work together with Eurosol Pacific to develop the aerosol business in Asia. 1.2 Outline Fillon Technology Group is a global leader and specialist in the design and manufacture of paint equipment for the automotive bodyshop market. Since
launching its first subsidiary in 1985 in the United States, Fillon Technologies embarked on successfully expanding markets throughout all of Europe, the America's, Asia, and Australia. Today, the company is able to respond to the Automotive Refinish mixing needs of Clients throughout the world.

Since 1994, the Fillon Technology Group has been present in Asia and developed the automotive bodyshop market very successful. For further expansion of Fillon products in Asian markets, the company recognizes that the automotive bodyshop market covers only a small part of the overall aerosol business potential in Asia. Eurosol Pacific was requested by Fillon Technologies to spearhead the business development of the industrial aerosol industry in Asia, including all necessary technical support for solvent formulation and training to start up customers. Locate and connect with strategically positioned aerosol suppliers, whom Fillon Technologies can control and who are willing to work according to its requirements and expectations. Systematically identify and develop the industrial aerosol business, creating a spin-off in (1) continuous refillable aerosols sales, and (2) sales of other Fillon products.

FillSpray 40.1 will be the basic equipment when introducing the product concept in Asian markets, but Fill-One and the possibility to sell the noncleaning concept in the near future will be kept in view. Future profits will be sourced from the sales of (1) refillable aerosols, (2) Fillon products as defined in Appendix A, and (3) related Fillon products.
