Peace of Mind Technologies (POM) is an exciting start-up company in the newly

emerging field of Personal Tracking Devices; respected industry analysts predict this
will become a LE 15 Million market within the next three years.
Products and Services
POM will develop and distribute miniaturized Personal Locator Devices (or Personal Tracking
Devices). Initially, the manufacturing of our devices will be subcontracted, while we develop
the supporting software and systems internally, although we plan to manufacture our
products in-house in future years. Our products are also distinct in that they are small and
fully programmable. Our systems can be customized by the end user for his or her unique,
individual applications or different from those required in business applications.



Market
Our primary target markets include, but are not limited to, the family consumer, kids with
special needs and Alzheimer patients. Because of our unique proprietary programming
capabilities for each individual unit, we have already received indications of interest from
several of these target markets.
We predict our systems will also appeal strongly to families concerned about the safety of
their loved ones. Sadly, child abduction is on the rise globally and Egypt especially. At the
other end of the age spectrum, there are thousands Alzheimer patients in wander away from
their homes at some point, unaware of their surroundings. We believe our devices will
greatly reduce these figures in both cases, while potentially saving lives.
The combined number of "potential" customers for our products is well over; we will focus
on a more realistic and attainable three-year sales goal, which will generate many millions of
pounds in sales revenues.
By focusing on our strengths, our key customers, and our customers' needs, POM
Technologies will increase sales to several millions of pounds within two years, while also
improving the gross margin on sales, cash management and working capital.

Reasons For Choosing Direct Channels
Reasons For Choosing Indirect Channels
POM technology is extremely small monitoring tool that can be
placed in your child's pocket, backpack or jacket.
POM technology uses satellite technology to continuously know the
location of your child.
POP: it would work in the same way that GPS works for
your car.
POD:
a- it takes far less battery power
b- Its not giving directions; rather, a personal GPS tracking
device occasionally transmits data to let a third party know
where the device is located.
There are three different ways you can track your child:-

Location: A small device shares your childs location with you
at all times
Alerts: If your child travels outside of a predetermined area,
you receive an alert.
Alarm: So if your child is in danger, they can hold down a
button for three or four seconds to alert you.

Obtain peace of mind
Child abductions
Wandering children
Child behavior problems.
Support kids with special needs
Modern / lifestyle parenthood

Focus on target marketing to increase market penetration and
domination.

Establish brand awareness for the tracking device.
Assuming we have two lines of products:
o Class A will be sold with 700 LE

We will be using Product-Quality Leadership pricing strategy.

o Class B will be sold 350 LE

We will be using Market penetration strategy pricing strategy.


Should keep an eye on the form
competition.
Exert much effort to ensure that no
health harm issues would harm the
children.
To assess other aspects of product
design, such as product packaging or
names.

CSR Program
As a start-up company in an emerging and changing industry, we
have intentionally designed a conservative plan, looking to
ensure the achievement of our corporate goals along with a
solid ROI to our partners.

We will of course revise our financial plan throughout the first
year based on actual figures in sales, Importing costs,
technological advances, personnel, office space, marketing
costs, and so on

As per our estimations that will be describe later, the company will
need 750,000 LE as operation cost per month on the first year,
break-even point will be reached after 8 months, so for a steady
start up , we will need to have 10 months cover (750,000LE) , plus
the direct cost of sales or the product cost for the projected
quantity that we are expecting to sell which is around 600,000
(exactly 608,000 LE)

Total Start up Summery will be 1,358,000 LE
Form Break-even calculations, optimal requirement start-up cash is
450,000 LE

Our plan's success is also predicated on the following assumptions:
Securing seed money with investors/ partner who will bring
added value to POM Technology.
The acceptance of our device by the public, the business sector
and the military.
Staying ahead of technological advances in this field, and
reacting to these changes in a timely and efficient manner.
Managing the start-up of our firm with minimal personnel until
steady growth necessitates hiring additional department
management and support staff.


Our plan's success is also predicated on the following assumptions:
Partnering with one of the current mobile operators quickly in
order to penetrate and dominate market share, make use of the
common technology infra-structure they have.
Success in marketing our products for brand awareness and
positioning.


The Profit and Loss table, below, shows our projected sales, cost of
sales, and operating expenses for the first three years, of particular
note are the high Sales and Marketing expenses; our market
research indicates these approximate spending levels will be
necessary for launching such a new and unique product
successfully.
All costs associated with import and distributing the physical
products can be found under cost of sales in the Sales Forecast
table
We anticipate that sales will begin to generate a stable profit for
POM Technology from second year of operation


Projected Profit and Loss Assumptions
Projected Sales Targets are according to the Following ;
Year One 3000 Unites , Year Two 6000 Unites , Year Three 10000
Unites
As we have two line of produces , all calculations are based on
selling Product class A , but in case when selling product line class B
, quantity of sales have to be duplicated to achieved the needed
targets
Product Class A Cost 320LE , and Product Class B Cost 160LE
Product Class A Price 700 LE , and Product Class B Cost 350LE
Annual increase for both cost of product , and selling price by 10%

For our break-even analysis, we assume per month running costs
which include our full payroll, rent, utilities, and an estimation of
other running costs. Payroll alone, at our present run rate, is only
about EGP 75,000 per month for the first year,

Below Estimations for breakeven analyses show that over the first
year, we will operate with negative profits and no revenue for the
first 10 months, before we reach breakeven (2450 Device)

All of the above steps are created as a marketing plan based on marketing
research and analysis; we might face a deviation of what we did plan verses
what we will achieve.
Hence, we will use three ways in order to monitor ongoing results, investigate
any deviation from plans, and take corrective steps as needed. We will use
budgets, schedules, and marketing metrics for monitoring and evaluating
results as follow:
Budget
We will compare planned expenditures with actual expenditures on quarterly
basis and monitor the sales revenue in monthly basis
Schedules
To see when tasks were supposed to be completed and when they actually
were done.




Marketing metrics
Through tracking the actual outcomes of marketing programs; to see whether
the company is moving forward toward its objectives or not and the customer
stratification feedback will be the reference.

Contingency plan
Based on the results we will get we will be ready to adjust the marketing plan
and prepare for a contingency plan.
Difficulties and risks
o Problems generating visibility a function of being star-up organization
o An entry into the market by already established competitors
Worst-Case Risks
o Determining that the business cannot support itself on an ongoing
basis
o Having to liquidate equipment or intellectual capital to cover liabilities
