Page 1 Our Goal Our Company Our Core Values Family Excellence Integrity Stewardship Transformation Entrepreneuring Family is highly valued in all things that we do as a company, whether that be represented through individual employees that have their own families to consider, or whether that be through the business dealings we have within the broader community in which we operate, recognizing that all communities large and small are made up of families of all types, races, religions and creeds, that may be affected in various ways by the work we do. At Naanovo, family comes first. Excellence is the gold standard in any successful business, the benchmark to which we at Naanovo purposely strive to achieve every day. We have already proven in our short history that by applying certain gold standard principles, such as CANI (Constant And Never-ending Improvement), we can compete very effectively in the global marketplace. With excellence as a core value, not only will we succeed as a company, but we will succeed as people. Integrity is an important part of our character as a company and as individuals. It is something that we cannot take for granted and must be maintained at all cost, particularly in terms of how we represent ourselves to our clients, our suppliers, our employees, our partners and our friends. At all times we must behave responsibly, morally and ethically, in our business dealings and never knowingly create false promises or expectations that could damage the reputation of the company. Stewardship reflects our sense of purpose as a company in that our reason for being is not simply to make money, but to contribute to the broader well-being of the global community, through the establishment of safe and responsible clean energy projects that protect and positively impact the planet's fragile environment. Our intentions are to put in place today the necessary clean energy technologies that will replace the need to consume fossil fuels for energy production in the future, resulting in a cleaner and greener planet for generations to come. Transformation is the process of moving from one state to another. Through the use of best available clean energy technologies our goal is to move the world away from a dependency on fossil fuels to a dependency on renewable energy. We see this transformation as absolutely necessary considering fossil fuels are a finite resource and it is our responsibility to demonstrate to the world that there are viable alternatives. As a core value, everything we do reflects this understanding and our urgent need to be proactive in making this transformation happen as quickly as possible. Entrepreneuring is at the heart of our core values as a company, implying that everything we do must not only contribute to the prosperity of the company, its shareholders and its employees, but also to the ideal of a free enterprise system which rewards hard work, innovation and adherence to basic values similar to our core values. Naanovo prides itself on being an entrepreneurial company and we look for the entrepreneurial spirit in our employees, contractors and suppliers, believing that spirit will transcend to the people and communities around us.

Naanovo is quickly emerging as a world leader in alternative energy with projects being developed in various regions globally. Although Naanovo has proprietary technologies of its own, the company utilizes Best Available and Best in Class technologies from various OEMs as necessary. TM Naanovos modular WTE/Maax systems are recognized as the most cost effective and energy efficient (electricity per ton of waste) WTE solution in the world today. Most WTE plants convert only 25 - 30% of their thermal energy into electricity. Naanovo WTE plants will achieve 40 - 50%. With this advantage, together with the ability to produce large quantities of potable water and cinder blocks, Naanovo WTE plants are more than just your average WTE plant. TM Naanovos SolarMaax CSP and PV Systems are emerging as an industry leading low cost, commercial- TM scale solar power solutions. SolarMaax CSP systems utilize parabolic troughs to collect thermal energy from the sun and convert it into electricity, using standard TM steam turbines and generators. SolarMaax PV systems are able to compete effectively with other solar power systems and other alternative energy systems operating in the marketplace. TM Naanovos BioMaax Systems are tailored to the type of biomass available and the output required, such as power or syngas. Where forestry waste is available, thermal power plants are recommended similar to TM WTE/Maax plants and where organic waste from municipal solid waste streams is involved, anaerobic digesters are recommended to convert the waste to syngas for power generation or use in vehicles, with the residue being further processed into compost and bio- fertilizers.

- 8. Page 7 Profile CorporateCorporate 2015 TM Naanovo's proprietary, modular, WTE/Maax systems are recognized as one of the most cost effective and energy efficient WTE solutions in the world today. Most WTE plants convert only 25-35% of their thermal energy into electricity, whereas Naanovo WTE plants are designed to achieve 40 - 50%. These WTE facilities use modules that can convert 180 250 tons of municipal solid waste per day into 7 MW of electricity per hour with near zero emissions, depending on the caloric value of the waste. This advantage, combined with the ability to produce large quantities of potable water and cinder blocks, enable Naanovo WTE plants to provide a more impactful and profitable output than the more traditional WTE plants common in North America and Europe. Naanovo is a Canadian Company with technology in its DNA. Naanovo acquired its WTE technology and Know-How from a 2002 merger with a Swedish technology company. It also acquired Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG) technology and know-how from another Swedish company around the same time. The idea then was to marry the two technologies together to generate more power from the same fuel source by effectively utilizing the heat left over from the primary steam turbine. After years of prototype testing involving its own Organic Rankin Cycle based HRSG system, Naanovo discovered that similar HRSG systems were being manufactured and made available for sale in the market. This allowed Naanovo to shift its focus toward developing WTE projects, using this enhanced design, instead of merely selling WTE technology. What Naanovo has since discovered, after years of working with various OEM systems, designs and technologies, is a better way to improve plant profitability by not only maximizing power sales, but also maximizing revenues from each plants byproducts (potable water and ash), TM hence the name WTE/Maax . This knowledge and know-how has become our advantage. Swedish Municipal solid waste characteristics can be quite different from one location to the next. Naanovo TM therefore designs, engineers each WTE/Maax plant to take full advantage of the caloric value available in the waste to optimise the output of saleable commodities (electricity, potable water and cinder blocks). If necessary, Naanovo can pre-sort the waste into organic and non-organic waste streams to take advantage of optional recycling systems and anaerobic digestion technologies to treat municipal solid waste and maximize saleable commodities of scrap metal, plastics, fertilizers as well as energy. This also means that Naanovo WTE projects can easily be integrated into existing waste reduction programs. Our Advantage WTE/Maax
- 9. Page 8 SolarMaax BioMaax Naanovo has been involved in designing solar power projects since 2006. Initially, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) projects were the main focus as CSP represented the best value option for large-scale commercial solar power plants, because they could utilize thermal storage to extend the operating hours of the plant after the sun went down thereby improving the project economics. The economics of Photovoltaic (PV) solar technologies have since improved to where PV has become a viable option. In 2009, Naanovo created a wholly owned subsidiary, called Solar Maax Limited to develop and market its own TM parabolic troughs for the CSP industry under the trade name SolarMaax . Solar power projects under 10 MW are typically more suited to utilize PV technologies because of the need for economies of scale with CSP. However, PV projects can achieve the same scale as CSP where storage is not necessary. CSP, on the other hand, can achieve up to 15 hours per day operating time with thermal storage and even achieve 24- hour base-load operation when utilizing fossil fuel or biomass to augment steam production within a hybrid-CSP configuration. TM Today SolarMaax is the trade name for Naanovos wholly owned subsidiary, Solar Maax Ltd., under which all solar power equipment is procured for projects undertaken by TM Naanovo and other outside customers. The Solar/Maax logo appears on various solar power related products and marketing materials supplied by Solar Maax Ltd. Naanovos proprietary biomass gasification technologies involve both anaerobic digestion and combustion depending on the type of biomass feedstock available. For instance, biomass fractions found in municipal solid waste containing high moisture content is better suited to anaerobic digestion, whereas biomass from forest residue, such as wood chips, is better suited to combustion. In either case, maximizing overall plant efficiency in TM converting the biomass feedstock into saleable energy is the prime objective of BioMaax . TM BioMaax projects can range in size from 250 kW to 10 MW for anaerobic digestion and 5 MW to 50 MW for combustion plants, again depending on how much biomass feedstock is available and the caloric value of the biomass. In some cases, different biomass fractions can be mixed together, such as farm waste and food scraps, or yard waste and animal TM manure. With a BioMaax gasifier, a form of methane or natural gas is produced which can be used to fuel a combustion engine and generator to produce electricity. With a TM BioMaax Combuster, steam is produced to drive a turbine and generator to produce electricity. Each are effective and efficient at producing electricity. TM BioMaax is the trade name used by Naanovo for all of its TM biomass related technologies, including BioMaax TM TM Biodigester, BioMaax Gasifier and BioMaax Combuster. Each biomass project is designed according to the type of biomass available and how much moisture content is contained in the biomass. maaxsolar TM maax TM bio NA ANOVO GROUP
