The Company OnlineCash integrates all existing online and offline payment methods and means into a single electronic wallet, enable any business or consumer with email, to send, receive, deposit and withdraw money easily and safely. OnlineCash Ltd. (hereby: “OnlineCash” or “the Company”) is a start-up company providing innovative payment tools designed to enable multiple forms of secure payment. OnlineCash’s vision is to enable any business or consumer with email, to send, receive, deposit and withdraw money from the system, while using the same, safe, simple and swift interface. OnlineCash achieves this by integrating all existing online and offline payment methods and means into a single electronic wallet. OnlineCash system builds upon the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards and creates a simple, swift and secure payment system. OnlineCash’s system uses the most advanced fraud prevention systems to create a safe and secure online payment solution. Online commerce is a rapidly growing force in the 21st century. More countries, businesses and people use the various forms of electronic trade each year. Despite its flaws, credit cards are still the most convenient and favorite transaction method of this new world economy and more people are driven to use it on a daily basis. However, the credit card is not without flaws. Not everyone can obtain a credit card, and when they do, using it online leaves their card information open to fraudulent use if their credit information is somehow leaked, stolen or given to untrustworthy suppliers. On the other side, not all merchants can deal with credit companies directly for a variety of reasons and even if they manage to enter into a Credit Card agreement, they must implement a complicated and expensive online credit card processing system, which in most cases does not even provide a solution for credit matching. With the growth of Internet use, more traditional business expand their activities and go online, but find it is not economical to deal directly with Credit Card companies when their website’s revenues are lower than dozens of thousands of dollars per month תוכנית עסקית ישראל OnlineCash currently operates as beta in the Israeli market, which is estimated at about $500 million in 2005 (compared to $300 million in 2003). Later on, OnlineCash will expand its operation to third world countries (like India and China) in which these solutions have not been yet fully adopted. With the growth of Internet use, more and more traditional business expand their activities and go online, in order to increase their exposure to new customers and increase revenues. Since establishing a dedicated clearance system requires installing expensive security systems, high speed servers and special certifications from the Credit Cards companies, small business find it is not economical to deal directly with Credit Card companies when their website’s revenues are lower than dozens of thousands of dollars per month. On the other hand, their customers are used to pay for services or products with credit cards. OnlineCash is therefore the perfect solution for these small businesses which offer a secure credit cards clearance system without the need to deal with credit card companies. Page 4 of 28 There are 139 thousands of small businesses in Israel, employing between 1 to 19 employees (based on Israeli ministry on Industry, Trade & Labor, 2004). The company believes that only a small portion of these companies have a website and even less offer the ability for their customers to pay online. With the growth of the Internet usage in Israel, which currently stands at about 2.2 million users (above the age of 13), and the increase of willingness to pay online, more and more businesses will find it essential to go online and offer easy, quick and secure online payments. The company believes that this trend will lead the growth of the eCommerce Industry in the coming years. This market represents a huge opportunity for OnlineCash’s services and will be the main focus of OnlineCash’s penetration. The second largest target market for OnlineCash is the users themselves. OnlineCash enables private users to send and receive money to anyone (business or private user) with an email address. The second largest target market for OnlineCash is the users themselves. OnlineCash enables private users to send and receive money to anyone (business or private user) with an email address. Furthermore, OnlineCash offers an easy, quick and cheap way to transfer money abroad (compared to and other available methods). For example, if a foreign worker that lives in Israel wants to transfer $500 to his family in Thailand, it will cost him $35 in Western Union and only $12 in OnlineCash. OnlineCash provides its customers with: • Free transfer costs within the OnlineCash system • Lower costs on most financial transactions • Easy financial transfers between OnlineCash accounts, bank accounts, and between various countries. • Ability to use their OnlineCash balance to pay for goods offline (using the OnlineCash Debit card or the website). • Payments to private and business entities without the need to engage directly with credit companies. • Online currency exchange. • Ability to shop online without sharing financial information with sellers or merchants OnlineCash will enjoy a viral effect; the more people use the service, the more it becomes attractive to new users looking to buy and sell online and who have a bigger network to interact with. OnlineCash bridges the gap between merchants and customers, by providing a solution to the problems for both sides of the transaction. OnlineCash takes online commerce one giant leap forward enabling secure, simple, and swift payments to any destination using any method the user prefers. תוכנית עסקית ישראל Page 5 of 28 2.

The Market 3.1 Internet Usage The global Internet usage has grown significantly over the last few years. Today there are over 964 million Internet users worldwide which represent 15% of the world population. (Source: Miniwatts International, LLC. November 05). North America, Europe and Australia represent a higher penetration rate of 68%, 35% and 53% respectively. However emerging markets like Africa, Middle East and Latin America are growing fast with more than 300% accumulated growth from 2000 to 2005 as seen in the table below. Israel has about 2.2 million Internet users (which are about one third of the total population). World Internet usage and Population Statistics Population Population Internet Usage Usage Growth % Population World ( 2005 Est.) % of World ( 2005 Est.) 2000-2005 (Penetration) Users % Africa Asia Europe Middle East North America Latin America/Caribbean Oceania / Australia 896,721,874 3,622,994,130 804,574,696 187,258,006 328,387,059 546,723,509 33,443,448 14.00% 56.40% 12.50% 2.90% 5.10% 8.50% 0.50% 23,867,500 327,066,713 283,482,940 15,452,500 223,971,489 72,792,797 17,655,762 428.70% 186.10% 169.70% 370.40% 107.20% 302.90% 131.70% 2.70% 9.00% 35.20% 8.30% 68.20% 13.30% 52.80% 2.50% 33.90% 29.40% 1.60% 23.20% 7.50% 1.80% WORLD TOTAL 6,420,102,722 100.00% 964,289,701 167.10% 15.00% 100.00% World Regions Source: Miniwatts International, LLC. November 05 3.2 eCommerce Market Growth Though eCommerce sales represent only 1.9% of sales by U.S. retailers, eCommerce sales are growing faster than the traditional in-store credit card purchases. תוכנית עסקית ישראל In 1997, the total U.S. online consumer market was estimated at $2.4 billion (Source: Forrester Research). In 2004 it was estimated that the total U.S. business-to-consumer online sales was $144.6 billion, a six year compounded annual growth rate of 80%. Forrester also estimates that U.S. eCommerce revenues for 2005 will be $167.6 billion which represent 16% growth this year. Though eCommerce sales represent only 1.9% of sales by U.S. retailers, eCommerce sales are growing faster than the traditional in-store credit card purchases. Online sales in Europe are growing at an even faster pace. Forrester estimates that eCommerce revenues in Europe were $90.3 billion USD in 2004 and will be $127.4 billion USD in 2005. Israel’s online sales were estimated at 1.4 billion NIS (about $300 million USD) in 2003. It is reasonable to assume that the Israeli online sales will pass $500 million this year (based on an average growth rate of 30% a year). Page 7 of 28 3.3 eCommerce Products According to a study made by ACNielsen more than 627 million people have shopped online and over 325 million within the last month, October 2005. The most popular items purchased on the Internet are books (34%), followed by videos/DVDs/games (22%), airline tickets/reservations (21%) and clothing/accessories/shoes (20%). According to the study: • Over 135 million people purchased DVDs and/or video games; • Close to 135 million made plane reservations; • Over 128 million purchased articles of clothing/accessories/shoes; • Over 112 million paid for music downloads and/or CDs; • Over 106 million purchased electronic devices (including cameras, etc); • Close to 98 million bought computer hardware; and • Over 86 million made hotel and/or tour bookings. 3.4 Purchasing Habits Europe and North America have the highest incidence of online shoppers, with Germany, Austria and the UK topping the list, with at least 95 percent of Internet users having purchased online. Not surprisingly, Europe and North America have the highest incidence of online shoppers, with Germany, Austria and the UK topping the list, with at least 95 percent of Internet users having purchased online. As a region, online shoppers in Europe made an average of five purchases in the last month. “Our recent e-commerce studies clearly show an upward trend in global online shopping,” said David Boyd, vice president of Internet Industry Research at ACNielsen. “While there is growth in nearly all global markets, we see that the lesser developed markets are maturing faster than many of their more developed counterparts. It will not be long before we have a nearly level playing field across the globe.” תוכנית עסקית ישראל In Asia Pacific, South Korea and Taiwan rank highest, with at least 90 percent of respondents in the study claiming to have ever made a purchase online, at least six in 10 of whom have done so within the last month. The world’s biggest online shoppers are in Germany and the UK, averaging seven and six purchases respectively in the past month. As a region, online shoppers in Europe made an average of five purchases in the last month. In fact, most of the markets in Europe display higher average purchases than North America, which showed an average of four purchases last month. In Asia Pacific, where the average number of purchases in the past month is five, online shoppers in markets like Singapore, Taiwan, Australia and China, made an average of five to six purchases in the past month. South Korea, despite its high proportion of online shoppers, generated an average of only four purchases last month. It is Latin America, however, which registers the lowest past month purchasing, with an average of only three purchases. Page 8 of 28 3.5 Payments methods Although credit cards represent about 59% of online purchases, a wide spectrum of payment options, such as debit cards, electronic checks, stored value certificates, and online payment innovations such as PayPal are emerging worldwide due to consumer and cultural preferences and differences. One of the main requirements in e-commerce is the ability to accept a form of electronic payment. Over the years, credit cards have become one of the most common forms of payment for e-commerce transactions. In the early years of B2C, many consumers were apprehensive of using their credit cards over the internet because of fear that their credit card numbers would get stolen. However, due to increased security with credit card companies such as VISA, American Express, and MasterCard, there is widespread use of credit cards over the internet, especially in North America. With the growth of online commerce market, business requirements and attitudes about electronic commerce have evolved. What began as an online sales experiment for many organizations has become a strategic component of their business plan. Although credit cards have long been the dominant payment method available to online purchasers (about 59% of online purchases done by credit cards), alternative consumer preferences and cultural preferences have impacted the global payment environment. A wide spectrum of payment options, such as debit cards, electronic checks, stored value certificates, and online payment innovations such as PayPal are emerging worldwide. Customers seek a greater access to international markets; Conducting online commerce internationally involves supporting more payment types, currency conversions, new payment processors and mitigating higher fraud risk . According to the ACNielsen report, for most of the online purchases, a credit card (59%) or bank transfer (23%) were used to make the payment. In Europe, however, cash-on-delivery (COD) is the 2nd most used payment method, following credit cards, in markets like Portugal (35%), Greece (31%), Spain (29%) and Italy (28%), while almost half of online shoppers in the UK used debit cards. Cash-on-delivery is also a popular payment method used in some Asia Pacific markets, ranking 2nd to credit cards in India (29%) and Japan (25%). China is most unique with COD (34%) as the most used payment method, followed by bank transfers (31%). Credit cards rank only third (26%) in this market and is followed closely by money transfers (23%). Yet when asked about preferred methods, credit cards (24%) actually come second to COD (32%) in China, indicating an unmet need for online credit card usage in this market. An analysis of the findings shows an unmet demand for online payment cards in such markets as Russia, France, Poland, South Korea, Japan and China. In each of these markets, a significant number of people wanted to use a payment card but had to use another method or payment. In Canada, on the other hand, there was an unmet demand for PayPal. “Our recent regional and country-specific consumer studies show that a major concern in lesser developed markets is the safety of online-and offline-payment methods, while in more developed markets, online shoppers are demanding more sophisticated payment methods,” says Bruce Paul, vice president of Financial Services Research at ACNielsen. “This represents both a challenge and an opportunity for תוכנית עסקית ישראל Page 9 of 28 payment card companies and their competitors to understand exact usage drivers as they evolve differently in each market.” In North America, while credit cards (69%) are still the more commonly used payment method, PayPal (29%) ranks second while debit cards, primarily driven by the US market, ranks third (22%). Although credit cards were also largely used in Latin America, PayPal generates high usage in Brazil, next to credit cards (usage accedes 100% because some users use more than one payment method). 3.6 Online Payment Market The increase of eCommerce lead companies to manage financial transactions to transpire over the internet. One of the most familiar companies is PayPal (owned by eBay) which allows consumers and/or businesses to send money to anyone with an email address in 45 countries. The online payment industry in the U.S. is projected to grow to $12.5 billion by 2005 up from $8.0 billion in 2003 according to Celent Communications (based on a survey of over 100 online payment industry executives). Online consumers are looking for additional online payment options, such as simpler ways to pay online and more payment methods (Source: Celent Communications, Feb. 2004). PaymentOne determined in April 2003 that 24% of US consumers would like simpler and easier ways to pay online and 11% are looking for more payment methods, indicating significant opportunity for the online payments market. Online fraud has evolved into an organized and systemic threat to online merchants. תוכנית עסקית ישראל The growth of eCommerce has also resulted in more complexity with internal business processes. Online fraud has evolved into an organized and systemic threat to online merchants. The latest report conducted by Mindwave Research in October 2004, concluded that online sellers expected fraudulent transactions to cost them 1.8% of revenues, on average, in 2004. Though that is statistically equivalent to the direct fraud cost projected by the prior year’s survey, the data suggests that the overall cost of fraud, which includes the cost of fraud management and the rejection of good orders, continues to rise. The cost of fraud management is incurred, for example, when merchants Page 10 of 28 Online merchants are finding the need to maintain technical and financial connections with a number of different payment processors and service providers integrate those disparate connections with a number of internal business systems, allocate manual resources to keep up with the pace of online sales, and comply with statutory requirements. תוכנית עסקית ישראל require manual intervention, a step that slows order processing and increases costs. The combination of these market trends is making the management of electronic payment transactions more complex. Online merchants are finding the need to maintain technical and financial connections with a number of different payment processors and service providers integrate those disparate connections with a number of internal business systems, allocate manual resources to keep up with the pace of online sales, and comply with statutory requirements.

OnlineCash uses several layers of security. Some of the security measures are technical while others are built into the business process of the system to combat online fraud, phishing and information theft. As a basic security feature, all communications between the user and the system are encrypted with a 256 bit SSL key, for maximum security. This mechanism is known to prevent information theft, and various “man in the middle” attacks. Mail sent to users never contains sensitive information and never requires the user to either login or Page 12 of 28 enter his personal details, eliminating the problem of phishing and mail based information theft. The system is more secure than credit cards. In contrast, without OnlineCash merchants that obtain their customers’ credit card details may charge as much as they want, whenever they want and sometimes without the users’ consent. The system is more secure than credit cards, because the user decides when and how much money to send. Both users and merchants are verified by OnlineCash. Every single transaction is verified and approved. In contrast, without OnlineCash merchants that obtain their customers’ credit card details may charge as much as they want, whenever they want and sometimes without the users’ consent. Worse still, those details may be passed on to third parties, or the details can be stolen and abused. OnlineCash protects the information transferred to it using every available security measure. No one, not even OnlineCash personnel has access to the customers’ information and the chances for fraud are dramatically reduced. The OnlineCash website has SSL certification. To protect OnlineCash from fraudulent transaction the SafeCharge fraud detection system will be integrated into the system. This will add a series of verifications and tests to the transaction process and will create one of three possible outcomes: a. The transaction is deemed “safe” and automatically approved b. The transaction is deemed “unsafe” and is automatically rejected c. The transaction is given a "maybe" status. A decision about whether to approve the transaction can be done manually. An automatic interface to handle the "maybe" status can be developed. OnlineCash has strategic cooperation with Card, a bank in Canada, a Credit Card issuing bank.

Cost of such a transfer is transferred to the customer. System Structure At the first stage the system will allow online merchants to charge customer credit cards (except Diners) without dealing directly with the credit companies. Making a payment in the system creates a disposable account, used once for a specific transaction only.

In Israel, a PayPal user can not withdraw the money that was accumulated in his account. There are companies operating in the online payment industry and offering services similar to the company. The most familiar company is PayPay which gained until today 86 million users. Online payment companies are very different from one another, each concentrating in a specific niche in the huge eCommerce market. For example some of these companies concentrate in clearance and billing services to very large companies (like WorldPay), other offer online payment solution on a local area basis (like nochex in UK). In recent years, with the growth of marketplace and auction websites like eBay, new kinds of online payment services are introduced offering money transfers between private people, like PayPal, ePassporte, and Click2Pay. PayPal which leads this category was established in 1998 and dominates the US and Europe markets. However PayPal’s service is limited to these specific regions, even in Israel, a PayPal user can not withdraw the money that was accumulated in his account. In countries like Eastern European countries, India, China etc. there is a real need of online payment services. The company also competes with money transfer services like Western Union that has a dominant global presence. תוכנית עסקית ישראל Page 15 of 28 Below is a brief description of the main companies that offer the online payment solutions.

OnlineCash charges websites an average 4% of revenues generated by the website; about 2% of which is transfers to the credit card companies and OnlineCash has the remaining 2%. OnlineCash’s main source of income is clearance commission from websites. OnlineCash charges websites an average [xx% confidential] of revenues generated by the website; about [xx% confidential] of which is transfers to the credit card companies and OnlineCash has the remaining [xx% confidential]. There are two main factors influencing OnlineCash’s revenues volume: The number of websites that OnlineCash offers clearance services and the average revenues generated in these websites; growth in both of these factors will increase OnlineCash’s revenues. (In some websites, OnlineCash will operate as a secondary or third clearance company and therefore will enjoy only a portion of the website’s revenues). OnlineCash intends to position itself as a perfect solution for small businesses that want to expand their activities and go online. The penetration of OnlineCash to more and more businesses will create a large customer base. The company believes that many customers will find OnlineCash an easy and convenient way to transfer money from one person to another person or business. This will create a viral effect that will increase significantly the exposure in the market and lead to increased revenues. This viral effect works in both sides: satisfied businesses will bring more businesses as well as end users that will bring other end users. In fact, the company has experienced this effect with its current websites; other businesses in the same field approached the company and wanted to implement OnlineCash’s clearance system. OnlineCash intends to position itself as a perfect solution for small businesses that want to expand their activities and go online. These businesses don’t have the resources to invest in an internal clearance system which means to deal directly with the credit card companies and invest a lot of money in security systems etc. OnlineCash is a solution for many other small businesses like free professions accountants, lawyers etc.; OnlineCash offers them an easy and simple way to charge their customers with credit cards without any initial cost, and without special credit card related equipment (since a lot of customers prefer to pay for products and service with their credit cards).

Later the company will expand its operation outside Israel. At first, OnlineCash targets countries that do not already enjoy similar systems. A pre-pilot is being deployed in Israel, a country that has the infrastructure but lacks the service. Hundreds of auction sites and online shops exist in Israel and OnlineCash offers a service that is much needed! The next target markets are Middle East countries (the company already has a potential partner in these areas), Europe, China, Russia, US, India, Egypt & Africa and Japan. More and more people choose to do their business online, with people from further and further away. The need for an easy, affordable way to transfer money is only going to grow with time. In Israel the company will use its connections and closeness to the market to attract hundreds of website each year. The company plans an aggressive marketing effort, reaching almost XXX websites (most of which are new website of small businesses) in the first year in order to capture a large market share and position itself as a market leader in the field of online payment in Israel.

Outside of Israel, The Company will contract a local partner and establish a franchise which will be held XX% by OnlineCash and XX% by the local partner. The partner will also pay OnlineCash a small initial license fee of about [xx confidential]. The local partner will be Page 18 of 28 responsible for all the legal and administrative activities involved in the services and manage and operate the local company including establishing marketing abilities to bring new customers and position OnlineCash as a market leader in the specific country. 6.3 Methodology Since the company will initially beta in Israel, a detailed revenue model was built for revenues in Israel. With the company’s expansion to other countries, revenues are expected to rise. The revenue model for countries outside Israel was built based on the assumption that the company will establish a local franchise in each country it operates in, with a local partner that will hold XX% of the local company (meaning that OnlineCash’s share will be XX% of revenues). Expenses will occur on the local partner. In order to estimate potential revenues in Israel, The Company divided the market into 4 groups of different kinds of websites. 1. eCommerce website – websites that offer products and goods 2. Non Profit Organizations – organizations that receive donations through the websites. 3. P2P (person to person) website – websites that offer exchange of products between private people (like eBay). 4. Small Businesses - like accountants, lawyers, Zimmers etc., that offer services to private users. For each of these websites groups, estimations were made for each of the forecast period regarding the number of websites OnlineCash will penetrate and the average amount of revenues that each website will generate (per average month). OnlineCash revenues from clearance (only OnlineCash’s share) are [xx% confidential] of the websites’ revenues. In addition, The Company estimates the number of websites that will order OnlineCash debit card, as a percent of total websites.

Further estimation was made regarding the number of users that preformed transactions in the system and the percent of them that will order OnlineCash’s debit card (from X% at the beginning of the first year and up to XX% on average). The following table presents the average purchase per user per month. Websites eCommerce websites Non Profit Organizations P2P websites Small Businesses Average purchase per customer per month in NIS 300 200 200 300 OnlineCash’s revenues form its debit card include [xx confidential] issued fee per new card and [xx confidential] cents per card transaction (the model assumes an average of 4 transactions per month per user). תוכנית עסקית ישראל Page 19 of 28 Additional assumptions were made regarding the number of businesses and private customers that will perform international money transfers. The model assumes that xx to xx businesses per year will transfer money, and xxx up to xxx (in the fifth year) private users will transfer money per year; and the average amount of the monthly transfers estimated at $X00 per month for business and $X00 per month for private user. 6.4 Revenues Forecast OnlineCash’s business model has three main sources of income: clearance, debit card and international money transfers.

This means that the revenues from new websites will be only X% on average in the first year and XX% in the following year (since some of the new websites will be connected at the beginning of the year while others at the end of the year). The revenue model also assumes that a website that joins OnlineCash’s services will continue to use it during the next few years (with a X% churn rate). תוכנית עסקית ישראל Page 20 of 28 In order to estimate OnlineCash’s share of the Israeli market, assumptions were made regarding the eCommerce market growth for the next 5 years (starting from XX% in 2006 and decreasing gradually to XX% in 2010).

Based on these assumptions, OnlineCash is expected to capture X% of the market in 2006 and up to X% in 2010.
