• Four Key Benefits of Barter

• Reduces existing cash costs
• It is always better to make purchases out of
  revenue generated from new sales
• not existing cash reserves.
• Creates value from under-performing assets /
  unsold time or capacity
• Trade excess capacity for already-budgeted for
  goods or services.
• Time sensitive products, space, tickets or
  services are unrecoverable if not sold.
• Receive more value than discounting.
• Lets participants buy goods and services at a
  discount
• Use your spare time, excess capacity,
  depreciating inventory etc to make purchases.
• The difference between your wholesale cost (cost
  to make a sale) and your selling price is the
  discount received.

• Zero interest.
• Repay borrowings out of new sales not existing
  cash income.

• Barter Is a Unique Financial Tool

• In Switzerland barter accounts for approximately
  6 billion USD in transactions every year between
  almost 80,000 business owners.
• Barter survives during good times and bad and
  helps stabilise the wealthiest
• economies of the world.
• During Argentinas economic crisis in the 1990s
  more than 2 million members joined the barter
  movement, performing more than 7 billion USD in
  transactions.
• Barter provides an immediate solution to
  businesses large and small.
• Pepsi Cola once traded with the Russian
  Government the rights to their brand and formulas
  in return for exclusive rights to export
  Stolichnaya Vodka
• Barter can be used as a way for businesses to
  convert their surplus into new

• Bartering Helps Save Cash

Ormita is income supplemental to the cash already
being generated by selling to existing
cash-paying customers.

• Ormita customers do not replace cash customers,
  instead they are incremental (new) income.
• We bring new customers to a business through our
  own marketing activities.
• These new customers make purchases and generate
  new revenue.
• This additional revenue is used to pay for a
  businesses existing costs, expansions,
  improvements and new acquisitions.
• Depending on your industry type businesses are
  allowed to charge part of their transaction in
  cash

Ormita saves cash by offsetting expenses. It is
not meant as a replacement for cash and cannot be
used to pay Sales Tax and fixed expenses. Once
those expenses are covered, however, by existing
cash business, then every additional customer
through is new revenue, with a higher margin of
profit.

• Bartering Supports Local Businesses

• Ormita
• Targets businesses which have reached a certain
  level of cash sales but which still have the
  capacity to expand output - without needing to
  increase their cash costs to do so.
• Provides members the ability to trade their
  excess capacity or unsold inventory for products
  and services they need - without the need for
  cash.
• Acts as a centralised broker for trading excess
  capacity by operating an online and brokered
  trade floor.
• Promotes the trade of excess assets by arranging
  local networking meetings, producing an
  electronic and printed membership directory,
  sending email and SMS broadcasts of latest deals
  and distributing regular newsletters to
  participants.
• Operates a bank-like system for trade
  transactions so that members do not have to
  engage in direct barter, thereby allowing them
  to sell to one member for trade credits and buy
  from another with the same trade credits.
• Allows for trade in areas which are rich in
  skills and assets but poor in cash.

• Provides a Way to Collect Debt

• Ormita offers a unique programme which allows
  business members to
• trade bad debts / monies owed to them for
  products or services which
• are needed to reduce their current cash costs.
• Allows creditors to take products in lieu of cash
  if there are no other recovery mechanisms
  available.
• Creditors can exchange recovered products for
  goods and/or services they need.
• Reduces costs for collection, legal fees
  interest.
• Reduces the risk (unpaid bills, doubtful
  collections etc).
• Maximises the value of what is returned.
• Helps participants reduce their ongoing cash
  expenses so they can pay future bills from cash
  saved, and in a more timely manner.

• Despite Being 30 of all World Financial Trade
• Most Barter Exchanges Are Poorly Run

Inflation Everyone has barter dollars but there is still nothing to buy. The Company also has the ability to spend trade dollars with no obligations to the exchange. The Company has historically spent more trade dollars than it has earned Wayne Sharpe, Chief Executive Officer Founder Bartercard. 30 September 2005 Exchange owners constantly spend money they do not own Lack of sensible credit management policies and procedures No enforcement of the rules and regulations Exchange networks being run by housewives not economists
Lack of Essential Goods and Services Barter is only useful if you use it to acquire needed goods or services. Incorrect mix of customers (not treated as a separate economy) Members not knowing what is available and lack of education Exchange owners getting the good products and services first Existing exchanges are stuck with legacy customers

11

• Despite Being 30 of all World Financial Trade
• Most Barter Exchanges Are Poorly Run

Over-Pricing Sellers charging more in barter. Lack of fiscal management / enforcement of policies Imbalance between supply and demand (not really a parallel economy) Cost to generate a barter dollar differs by industry (not really a parallel economy because barter dollars are not as readily convertible as cash)
High Cost To Use Typically 12 minimum in cash commission to use. Many exchanges charge monthly fees even if they did not help the customer perform any transactions that month High joining fee, high annual fees, interest on borrowing fees etc
Lack of Market Penetration In some countries penetration has reached 30 or more in the past. Caused by a lack of community involvement / understanding Inflation, poor management, historical issues have led to a perception that bartering may have less value than federally issued money
Lack of a Common Platform No coherent network of providers. Trade between different barter exchanges is rare because exchange owners prefer to keep the good stuff for themselves / own members The largest exchanges in the world (6 billion USD turn-over per annum) shun the only two associations whose memberships are severely limited

• Structure of the Business Model

Ormita acts as a clearinghouse for the trade of
excess capacities, goods and services through a
combination of online e-commerce, transaction
processing, 24 hour telephone brokering and
independent licensees. Rather than promoting
direct trade between participants the Company
brokers trades through a centralized trade
platform.
1 Transactions are recorded in a centralized ledger which records the value of the items purchased (debit) and sold (credit) - much like a clearinghouse does for stocks, or a commercial bank does for checks.
2 This ledger system utilises a trade credit as a method of accounting with 1 Trade Credit 1. (NB. Trade credits are also referred to as Barter Dollars by our competitors).
3 Just like any brokerage firm, Ormita receives a cash commission on each transaction.

• When you consider the opportunity that becoming
  an Ormita licensee represents consider this
  simple question
• Is it cheaper to pay 1000 cash for something

  savings) or to make a purchase using 1000 worth
