2 COMPANY OVERVIEW EarthOne Circuit Technologies Corporation “dba eSurface ” was established in August 2010 to develop and market an evolutionary, proprietary patented technology for applied conductive materials on virtually any surface. 3 CURRENT STATE OF THE INDUSTRY Currently, the circuit board industry uses a Print and Etch “Subtractive Method”, which has a number of drawbacks and limitations §  Inefficient – highly labor and process intensive § 
Weak Yields – below certain trace & space dimensions (75µ), the yield achieved utilizing the “subtractive method” begins to fall dramatically § 
Substrates – limited to using a small subset of surface materials § 
Confined to Flat Surfaces – restricting 3D design § 
Limited Product Designs – advanced designs are very costly and often too difficult to produce § 
Toxic Chemicals – caustic chemicals are required to strip away metals, leading to negative environmental impacts and costly waste mitigation § 
Low Profit Margins – due to a mature technology and commodity market 4 ESURFACE DISRUPTIVE SOLUTION eSurface’s patented technology upends the status quo – fundamentally transforming a constrained and inefficient manufacturing process, and thereby generating savings greater than 50% § 
Fully Additive Process – manufacturing is simpler and more efficient, with far fewer processing steps § 
Superior Yield – yields remain high even for smaller (below 25µ), more complex circuit board designs § 
Lower Production Costs – labor usage and space requirements are reduced § 
Enhanced Signal Integrity – due to tighter tolerances § 
Expanded Material Selections – allows planting of circuits on practically any material and shape, including 3D surfaces § 
Environmental Benefits – a closed loop process, radically reducing toxic waste § 
Advances Microelectronics – enables new, more compact circuit design 5 ESURFACE PROCESS: STREAMLINED & FASTER 6 COMPARING THE TECHNOLOGIES Traditional, Subtractive Method eSurface, Additive Method Traditional circuit boards are confined to flat surfaces and can only be milled on a limited subset of materials eSurface’s process allows virtually any surface and material to be used to additively print circuits 7 YIELD: A KEY DIFFERENTIATOR § 
Yield is a key metric in the circuit fabrication industry § 
The conventional, subtractive method is woefully inadequate in its ability to produce circuit boards with smaller trace and space dimensions Ø  Yield begins to drop dramatically at reduced sizes below 75µ Ø  Costs rise exponentially to achieve size reductions § 
eSurface’s additive process dramatically boosts the yield for circuit board designs with smaller dimensions Ø  Yield exceeds 95%, even below 25µ circuit traces Ø  Microelectronics constitute a sizeable percentage of the market today and growth in the space is accelerating 8 YIELD: SUBTRACTIVE VS ADDITIVE § 
Etching/tracing errors are commonplace with the subtractive method § 
eSurface’s proprietary process improves yield by multiples on 25 and 50 micron circuit traces Conventional Process eSurface Process Trace and Space Dimensions Conventional PCB Yield eSurface PCB Yield 75 microns (3 mil) 95% 95% 50 microns (2 mil) 50% 95% 25 microns (1 mill) 10% 95% 9 ADHESION: A KEY DIFFERENTIATOR IPC 4101/24 FR-­‐4 (GF/GFG) Woven glass/epoxy § 
§ 
eSurface is the only additive technology to achieve IPC-­‐standard or better adhesion to substrate materials The IPC is a global trade association for the PCB and electronic assembly industries Test Description Standard Test Result After 1 hour bake at 250 Cº 4.00 lbs/in.

Applications for eSurface’s proprietary technology are wide-­‐ranging; potential end users can be found in numerous global markets § 
Initially, eSurface is focused on becoming the dominant process in the micro-­‐
electronics segment of the printed circuit board (PCB) industry Ø  Global PCB/IC substrate market = $60 Billion § 
The Company will also target the massive global electronics and micro-­‐electronics market, which is projected to grow at a 3.8% annual clip through 2018 Ø  Global electronics/micro-­‐electronics market = $2 Trillion § 
eSurface does not plan to be a manufacturer; the Company’s primary business model is to license its technologies to the circuit fabrication industry and beyond 11 ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY SEGMENTS BY GROWTH RATE 12 SAMPLE END USER APPLICATIONS Medical Applications High Speed RF Applications Ultrasonics, CRMDs, Glucose Sensors Thin Film Semiconductor Defense, Commercial, Space Thin Metallization on Various Substrates (incl.
