Product
Biofibers Capital Group, LLC (BFCG) has 2 divisions: Fibers and Chemicals. This summary is specific to a
particleboard factory to be located near Paincourtville, LA (USA).

Operations
BFCG has developed intellectual property, with the intention of manufacturing, eco-friendly, zero
formaldehyde particleboard using agricultural waste fibers (e.g., sugar cane bagasse) in a sustainable
value chain. BFCG will install a CompakUK twin-line system to produce over 600,000 particleboard
panels per year. CompakUK has over 30 years experience making and installing over 30 of these
systems worldwide. The LA factory will create over 100 full and part time jobs. Collocating near one of
the 11 sugar mills in LA will provide 100% of the required feedstock. Close proximity to Interstate I-10,
the Santa Fe freight railroad line and New Orleans harbor freight terminal provide excellent
transportation logistics support.

Market & Sales


BFCG controls various formulations to make a range of particleboards; all meeting ANSI A208.1
standards for strength of materials. This facility will qualify as one of only 15 factories in the world as
no added formaldehyde particleboard (NAF/PB). Variations on the basic formula include: fire
retardant, water resistant, insect resistant, and mold resistant. A new formula for sound proofing panels
is under development using post-consumer carpet (PCC) with excellent potential. A contract is in place
with Compak Waste Systems as the sales agent for North America, Western Europe, Australia and Japan
with the expectation of readily selling 100% of the factory output. Also on file are letters of interest from
5 buyers, each one willing to purchase 100% of the factory output.

Risks
The primary risk in southern Louisiana is environmental risk from hurricanes and flooding. BFCG will
ensure that all construction meets local and national building codes for these conditions. All other risks
along the value chain have been mitigated.

Management
BFCG executive management team has a wide range of experience across research & development,
commercial, industrial and agricultural operations. The executive team includes engineers and project
managers with extensive experience in public works, municipal, and chemical/civil/mechanical
engineering projects in various countries. There is also extensive experience by the Research &
Development team in developing intellectual property that is not only already patented, but ready for
immediate commercialization.

Financials
BFCG is seeking a total of $21.5 million which will cover all major capital and operating expenses during
the first 2 years to achieve full commercial operations. This includes: preliminary studies; land surveys
and blueprints; facilities construction; capital equipment; auxiliary and ancillary machinery; and balance
of plant assets. This will financially facilitate the factory becoming fully operational and generating
revenues within 2 years from start.
