B.- CAPITALIZATION:
VALUE OF ASSETS OWNED BY PROMOTERS:
The Assets Owned by the Promoters could be Valued at the present date, in a Total amount of at
least USD $ 300.0 M (Three Hundred Millions USA Dollars): (1..7):
1. The Executive Global Integrated Project, for a Total Investment Value of USD $ 450.0 M, fully
developed with all the studies available and ready to be actuate, by means of which the
company will install and start up the Production of N° 4 (Four) different types of New
Generation BIO-FUELS Plants all made by green renewable energy sources.
Each Global Integrated Project will have or include the following Individual Production Plants:
(Mentioned in their respective Startup order)
MICROEMULSION (Environmental Safer Substitute of Diesel Fuel)
BIO-DIESEL (Methyl Ester of Vegetable Fatty Acid - Safer Substitute of Diesel Fuel)
VEGETABLE OIL (Derivate from Castor Oil Seeds or any other type of Oil Seeds)
BIO-ETHANOL (Ethyl Alcohol to be used mixed as a Fuel component for unleaded
“Green” Gasoline)
2. The right to buy from NTE (NEW TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING S.A. - Provider & Main
Contractor), all the Equipment & Machinery under a “Turn Key Job” modality, all included, at
a Special & Exclusive Floor Cost Price for all our projects, including in that Price, the per life
usufruct-exploitation rights of the Patented High Technology & Engineering that will come
included within the different Equipment & Machinery and which will permits to achieve the
highest level of efficiency in all the processes at the lowest costs.
This Price Difference, between the present Official Prices of NTE (the Prices that they will
apply to others for the same Equipment & Machinery) and our Special & Exclusive Floor Cost
Price represents approx. USD $ 296.8 M. (Please see the Annex N° 1).
3. Total and deep Knowledge of the Promoters on all the Technology & Engineering that will be
applied or used in any Plant and stage of the Project.
4. The Business-Specifics knowledge and all its related benefits (i.e. Marketing, Customers &
Logistics) which grant to the Promoters to have all the Production Totally Sold in advance, by
contracts & agreements that would be signed as soon as the installation of the Production
Plants will start.
The presently unsatisfied demand & potential of the USA & Canada markets especially for
BIO-ETHANOL is very high.
Our main competitor for BIO-ETHANOL within the area could be only Brasil, but they have to
pay around 10-12% extra customs taxes to get and sell in to the USA & Canada markets, so,
their Selling Prices for BIO-ETHANOL will always be higher than ours, because the products
coming from the DR do not have to pay such taxes.

Local / National Market / Customers, giving its own profitability. It also raises the Profits Re-
investment we mentioned for year 2015.
BIO-DIESEL: 100% of the BIO-DIESEL produced will be for internal use/mix to be added as
a Raw Material to produce the MICROEMULSION.
VEGETABLE OIL: Produced from the CASTOR OIL SEEDS processing, plus the addition of
a small amount of the BIO-ETHANOL (coming from our own Production Plant), will be 100%
for internal use/mix to produce BIO-DIESEL.
BIO-ETHANOL: 100% of the BIO-ETHANOL produced will be Sold to Export Markets, giving
its own profitability mainly based on external demand of the U.S. and Canada Markets.
If we would decide for it, there is the possibility to built at up to N° 3 additional, similar and with the
same value GLOBAL INTEGRATED PRODUCTION PLANTS in the DR. Promoters has already
choose and optioned, N° 2 (Two) new additional locations, to possibly install this new Production

E.- DBT FOUNDATION
The DBT FOUNDATION will be a completely separate Non-Profit
Institution of Social Interest that will be connected with DOBIOTECH
just because it will be the responsible for Planting, Cultivate and
Produce the CASTOR OIL SEEDS which will be used in the production
process of the VEGETABLE OIL that will then be processed and
converted into BIO-DIESEL.
The capital investment that is foreseen to perform in to the DBT FOUNDATION shall be of: USD $
10.0 M: To activate the Foundation creating the nurseries to grow the mother Production Plants and
start seedbeds for the first 2,500 hectares..
Castor Oil Plant’s Market Demand the Castor Oil crop is very attractive mainly because it has these
characteristics:
Can be easily planted in non rich fields, upland, hillside, river beds, stream banks, salted
land, and even in marginal lands.
Resistant to drought.
Requires low soil fertility.
Requires very low to null soil irrigation (water)
Contains valuable oil properties.
Produces satisfactory yields after a short period (about 140 to 160 days)
These qualities are the reasons why Castor Oil Plant production is expanding worldwide. With its
many advantages and commercial uses, there is no doubt why Castor Oil commands high demand
in the international market. For sure, this demand will only grow higher as the uses of Castor Oil
continue to increase year after year.

H.- FAQ
Why DOBIOTECH decided to settle in the Dominican Republic? below
Why DOBIOTECH can purchase/obtain the Equipment & this Special Technology at a Preferential
Price? below
Why DOBIOTECH Production Costs are Lower Compared to Other Production
Plants/Manufacturers Using Conventional Technology? below
Why the Technology of DOBIOTECH & NEW-TECHNOLOGY is more efficient? below
Why aren’t there Other Companies with the Same or Similar Technology? below
1. Why DOBIOTECH decided to settle in the Dominican Republic?
a) DOMINICAN REPUBLIC has a very STRATEGIC GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION, in relation
with the MARKETS which have the largest Consumption Potential of BIO-ETHANOL the USA
and CANADA, which offers us the total Exemption on Customs Import Tariffs to reach those
Markets (i.e. Brazil, pays 12%).
b) We found an ideal location in Manzanillo, Montecristi, where in addition to having the
necessary support from the Local Government, there are also already available at least Two
very important logistic factors:
• A Deeper Bay that allows the Entry and Maneuver of Large Ships;
• A Pier already available with Excellent Structure;
c) The Stability of the Rules, Laws, Protection and Welcome, that the Dominican Government
has historically offered and still offering to the Foreign Investment and/or Investors;
2. Why DOBIOTECH can purchase/obtain the Equipment & this Special Technology at a
Preferential Price?
Mainly because the President & CEO of DOBIOTECH and another of the Directors, (Mr. Bernardi)
are in this Business since more than 12 years. In the past as partners in the same old company with
the today owners of NTE and actively participated in the Research, Development and Design of the
New Technology and many of the patents that are involved and applied in all the Machinery and
Equipment that NTE will sell to DOBIOTECH.
Mr. Dal Boni and Mr. Bernardi knows in deep details, Designs, and particulars of the Patents and its
functioning, the applied High Technology and how it works, and more importantly, the Costs related
and involved in the construction of the Equipment and the Machinery.

E-Mail: info@dobiotech.com - CEO@dobiotech.com
12. Executive Summary
Page 12 of 16
For such reasons and as a “compensation agreement” NTE is leaving to DOBIOTECH, the
Machinery and the Equipment at the cost level, almost without recharging profit margins, and without
charging the cost of royalties for the usufruct of the patents.
3. Why DOBIOTECH Production Costs are Lower Compared to Other Production
Plants/Manufacturers Using Conventional Technology?
One of the main reasons of it is because 95% of the “Latin American” Ethyl Alcohol Producers are
Sugar Cane Manufacturers and they are mostly oriented to produce the Sugar and then, as a
secondary activity, they enter many years ago in to the business of the BIO-ETHANOL production
and their manufacturing process is quite different to ours. Their Sugar Cane cultivation requires to
have large extensions of adequate land, and support the all the costs of it.
The Sugar Cane Cultivation will give you as a maximum only two harvests or “Zafras” per year. This
means that they are not producing on a constant continuous basis but on very big Lots or Batches
basis. Once the cane has been cut, if not used will rot, therefore, it can not be stored for long, so
which they will fail to use they have to burn it.
Their manufacturing process is the same as per to produce the Sugar. They have to harvest the
Sugar Cane, Transport many Tons of it to the Sugar Mill, press it at least three times, obtain the
Sugar Cane Juice (Guarapo), which has to be clarified using Steam and evaporate the major
possible part of the water contents, to obtain a kind of “honey”.
At this point, they could decide, how much of this “honey” will go to produce Sugar and how much will
go to Fermentation and later produce BIO-ETHANOL.
They can’t use the Hyper Fermentation System because they are Fermenting by Lots or Batches.
Therefore they production of BIO-ETHANOL is also not constant, because it depends of the contents
of “fermentable components” of each Lot of Honey.
Finally, they has a 15-20 years older Distillation System or units based mostly on the Old Distillation
Concept/Process where the water is evaporated by the use of Steam and by several steps to obtain
at first an 85-90% BIO-ETHANOL concentration. After this, they use a Volatile Solvent (Cyclohexane
or Benzene) to “break” the “Azeotrope” (water molecularly tied to the BIO-ETHANOL), and finish the
Distillation to obtain a 99% purity BIO-ETHANOL.
We in DOBIOTECH do not need to do all of that above described Process! We can use any Bio-
Masse as Raw material. Our ideal is to use the Bagasse of the Sugar Cane that the Sugar
manufacturers could not take advantage of.
Our first Step of High Technology is a Set of Equipment that has a Patented process whereby we mill
the Bagasse fibers in to a very small and totally dried particles. Therefore we can stock up it for long
times and use it all the year on. Then, through a Patented Physical-Mechanical System (without
using Steam or Acid or Ammonia and at room temperature), we could separate from the Dry
Bagasse Particles, the Lignin from the Cellulose and the Hemicelluloses.
Subsequently, by an Enzymatic Process we can Convert the Cellulose in to 100% Fermentable
Sugars. In an On Line 100% Continuous Process, 24 hours per day, we send those above
mentioned Fermentable Sugars directly to the Molecular Hyper Fermentators units, where we had
sent before, directly, also the Hemicelluloses, and all this together; will start the Anaerobic
Fermentation Process with the presence and “help” of particular Enzymes and Yeasts.

13. Executive Summary
Page 13 of 16
The Anaerobic Molecular Hyper Fermentation Process is normally done at room temperature, and/or
eventually if necessary, we could use a very small amount of Steam to heat up the broth. Our
Molecular Hyper Fermentators units, will count with a special patented System/Software, controlled
by a PLC that will automatically measures the temperature, the contents of Alcohol (Ethanol) that will
be generated, and the CO2 that is developed during the Fermentation Process.
As the Fermentation Broth reaches the desired Alcoholic (Ethanol) level, is Automatically sent to the
following phase of the Distillation.
4. Why the Technology of DOBIOTECH & NEW-TECHNOLOGY is more efficient?
Our Distillation process will be done with the most modern High Technology available in the world in
this moment. Our Distillation Equipment, (that also is totally automatic and controlled by a PLC and a
Software Program designed specially to perform this Process), will Base it Efficiency, Low Cost,
Quality and Productivity, by the use of 3 different New High Technical concepts:
a) The CMMD (Catalytic Membranes Molecular Distillation);
b) The VDUHPA (Vacuum Distillation Under High Pressure Atmosphere)
c) The DVLT (Distillation at Very Low Temperature)
By Combining the above mentioned High Technologies, we can obtain among other benefits, the
following results:
a) We have NO need to "Re-Distill" like the others producers do. This means that our Equipment
will handle the Distillation Process in just only one Step or Passage of the Broth through the
Distillatory Units, avoiding normal losses caused by the evaporation of an important % of the
BIO-ETHANOL;
b) We have NO need to use of Expensive & Environmentally unsafe Volatile Solvents, to “break”
the Azeotrope. This Operation will be done directly and On Line by the CMMD;
c) The VDUHPA and DVLT are giving us the benefit and the enormous advantage to allow us to
work closely to the “room” average normal temperature of the D.R.! This means that we will
use a very low amount of Steam, and also of Chiller capacity.
So the energetic efficiency we will have will give always a very good balance, because we don’t
have the need to Spend a lot of Energy to produce Steam and or Chilled or Cold Water, in order to
be able to Produce another Energy or Combustible like the BIO-ETHANOL.
The above is our full “Balance” explanation and answer to the question. In practice, we will have in
average of at least 10-11% against all the “Standard” BIO-ETHANOL Producers and Especially
against the Brazilian Producers.
In addition and for the same reasons, our Production Efficiency will be at least of 15%. It means that
we are able to convert in to BIO-ETHANOL at least the 15% of the Volume of the BIO-MASS that we
will introduce from the beginning in to our process.

5. Why aren’t there Other Companies with the Same or Similar Technology?
This is really a good question! and the answer might be even better or perhaps very simple: Would
be almost the same if we ask ourselves why not everyone buys a Ferrari or a Lamborghini?
We are convinced that there are many reasons:
a) If you will have a look to our chart Named “Internal Equipment Prices Comparison” on our
Web site under the Investors password protected area, you will see, that the normal average
price for the Equipment and the Machinery that we are getting from NTE is USD $
562,200,000, so it is not cheap! Without any doubt, the Standard Old Technology is always
cheaper than that, and there are not many people are willing to invest such sums of money to
replace an old plant that still produces...
b) Secondly, the nature of the Technicians, Engineers and the major part of the Advisors
Technical Assistants or who normally develops the projects for production of BIO-ETHANOL,
come from the "old school", studied about on the old technology, and we all know, that
everything new, usually creates in any human being, certain “fears” and traumas. Most
people prefer to continue doing what they already know and do not change…
c) The major part of the present BIO-ETHANOL producers as we said above are considering the
BIO-ETHANOL production as a secondary priority. Their first priority is always to produce
Sugar!
d) The major part of the present BIO-ETHANOL Production Production Plants, are old and very
antiquate. While it is more expensive to make an overall or a technological upgrade to an old
plant, than to build a total new one, the major part of the companies prefer go ahead with
what they have.
e) Finally, the Salesman and the major part of the Machinery and Equipment builders are
choosing always the easiest way to do a business. They largely prefer to give to the customer
what the customer is asking for…
f) So, if you are asking for a Fiat, you will get a Fiat! They will never try instead to sell you a
Lamborghini or a Ferrari.

I.- INTERNAL & EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT& COST PRICES COMPARISON (INGLÉS)
This is the Equipment Prices Comparison between the NEW TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING’s
(Bellinzona - Switzerland) Normal Present List Price and our Special Exclusive “Turn Key Job Prices”, as
per their Offer/Quotations of September 2011, that are included in our DOBIOTECH Project.
NEW TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING S.A., has been specializing in the design, construction and
installation of complete Production Plants for the production of BIO-FUELS, Clean and Renewable
Energies, being entitled to different patents and registries that allow it to claim the use of the highest and
most advanced technologies that can exist in this field.
In addition to the above, we have the possibility to acquire and buy at that Same Special Prices, as much
Equipment as we want, to be installed in the D.R., and also if we want, to be positioned in other
authorized countries different than the D.R. (Colombia, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador,
etc.).

Comparison between Petrobras New Project (partially) & “Others” Brazilian Sugar Cane Derivative BIO-
ETHANOL Manufacturers/Producers and our Special Exclusive NTE “Turn Key Job Prices”, that are
included in our DOBIOTECH Project.
This comparison, will take into consideration only the BIO-ETHANOL PLANT and its components, while
in the case of the Others Manufacturers, they are not mentioning or installing any Bio-Diesel, Vegetable
Oil or Microemulsion Processes.
We consider that to have a better comparison parameters, it is important to mention here, that the
“Others” Brazilian Sugar Cane Derivative BIO-ETHANOL Manufacturers/Producers Production
Plants/Projects, also if in its overall context/concept could be considered very similar to our DOBIOTECH
Project, their Production Plants, do not have some parts of the Special High Technology that we will
have.
