Presentation For “Accredited Investor” For High Return

Page 2: Lion energy2013

Lion Energy Group is the UK based holding company for a series of projects in renewable energy

The group focuses on new clean technologies that bring strategic and financial advantages to its stakeholders

Current activities are in solar energy, storage of energy, water purification and desalination

Group has built an experienced and knowledgeable team over the last 20 years with energy, utilities and chemical sector backgrounds

The Lion Energy Group provides a 21st. Century energy solution

Lion Energy Group – Introduction

Page 3: Lion energy2013

Mission is to provide low cost clean energy from renewable resources and to exploit other green technologies

Aims to capitalize on proprietary technology in solar power and new generation storage batteries

Initially focussing on the France and Italian market with abundant sunshine and generous government subsidies and grants

Current operations are installation of PV solar power stations using existing technology and developing and bringing to market of new technologies that are already at the stage of building a demonstrator via a proof of concept site

Float on London AIM after 2 years

Why France and Italy?

• France and Italy has abundant hours of sunshine for generating solar electricity

• Renewable energy is fully supported by high feed tariff

Traditional Model

Page 8: Lion energy2013

Why invest in Lion?

90% invested in proven PV&WIND plants With IRR 15%

Risk is lowered through a 15% IRR and guaranteed feed-in tariffs for electricity generated – i.e. there is a guaranteed market at a known price

10% invested in developing complementary new technologies

Rewards for successful commercialisation are extremely high whilst the risks have been significantly lowered

An exit route is provided via future listing on London AIM

Price fixed in advance at a 15% of IRR with 20 year contracts.

Obligation of HTSO to connect RES companies

Captive market – need is already known and Lion Energy fills a defined gap

Technology is existing and proven

Product demand is likely to increase as policy makers seek alternatives to fossil fuel from renewable energy

Advantages for Lion Energy

Page 10: Lion energy2013

Solar Thermal/Hydrogen Storage

Lion Energy’s system combines electricity generation with 18-24 hours storage making it a 24/7 generating operation

Low maintenance of equipment compared to other solar generating devices leading to lower costs

Use of cheap recyclable materials keep costs down

Flexible and modular – from a household size of 5 kw to 100 mw (20,000 households)

Higher efficiency means less land needed for construction

Price fixed in advance at a % of current domestic rate to consumers with 10 year contracts.

Obligation of HTSO to connect RES companies

Captive market – need is already known and Lion Energy fills a defined gap

Technology is proprietary

Product demand is likely to increase as policy makers seek alternatives to fossil fuel from renewable energy

Market for expansion in nearby countries and further afield

Experienced international management at CEO, COO and CFO level

Advantages for Lion Energy

Solar Thermal Power Plant

Page 13: Lion energy2013

Solar Powered Desalination Plant

• Funding of €8m required for 10mw proof of concept plant

• Equity of €4.8m, Loan €3.2m

• Estimated 12 months to ready

• Expected revenues of €4m p.a. when complete

Page 14: Lion energy2013

Rainfall is low in Mediterranean

Water is transported by ship to meet needs, which is expensive and transport costs are increasing

Desalination plants provide a solution

Water sold to local authorities not to consumers

Investment subsidy of 15%-55% available

Europe Water– Key Facts

Page 15: Lion energy2013

Parts of France are very arid, with little or no summer rainfall

Water demand is in summer when there is little rainfall and peak tourist period

Lion Energy’s technology uses solar power to drive the plants resulting in low cost high quality distillation

Key is combining low cost solar energy with Lion Energy’s new design in desalination resulting in significantly lower costs

Desalination Programme

Page 16: Lion energy2013

DesalinationDesalination plants are energy intensive. Combining cheap efficient

solar energy in arid regions with desalination can produce cheaper water solutions

Lion Energy’s proprietary system is a thermal process using a revolutionary turbine which can operate at low temperatures

Maintenance costs are reduced through smart design (fewer parts) and use of recyclable polymers which significantly reduce scaling.

Installation is quicker than traditional designsThe modular design makes the system ideal for many uses and

permits up-scaling of facilities if required

Battery • Funding of €5m required for proof of

concept • Equity of €3m, loan €2m• Estimated 14 months to ready • Will complement existing products by

providing lower cost energy storage permitting 24/7 operation of solar plants even in hours of darkness!

Page 19: Lion energy2013

Why is the battery development so important?• Nature is not constant – there is no

sunlight at night, the wind does not blow every day…..

• For renewable energy to compete with fossil fuels a low cost storage solution of excess energy for later release is critical

• Lion Energy’s battery is a revolutionary step forward and has a wide range of applications

Page 20: Lion energy2013

Energy is consumed at times when there is no direct sunlight which necessitates a storage medium

Lion Energy has developed a means to store excess energy that can be released later, providing a 24/7 energy supply

Proprietary technology

Converts chemical energy into electrical energy using reversible redox regenerative reactions

Lower costs and higher efficiencies than conventional batteries

Modular – suitable for a large range of applications

Storage Battery
