`3DVU |
`
`Executive Summary
`
`We believe 3DVU’s visualization technology is a compelling acquisition opportunity providing unique
`
`benefits and significant value to Microsoft's strategy in the digital mapping sector.
`
`3DVU’s device agnostic, open architecture facilitates a ubiquitous presence across several large
`
`and growing market opportunities
`
`mobile devices (PND’s and Smartphones) and installed navigation systems
`
`3DVU offers an enhanced application to run on top of Microsoft products; for Wrtual Earth’s
`
`mapping platform — attracts new users and provides extra “stickiness” to visitors
`
`Allows Microsoft to fully participate in the explosive growth in 3D visualization across all
`
`applications while avoiding the eventual pricing pressure and margin erosion of OEM hardware
`
`devices — betting on a trend, not a market
`
`Avoids costs, risks and delays in coming to market with an in—house proprietary product
`
`Further advances Microsoft's competitive position by offering unique, highly differentiated
`
`3D locationai products and user experiences
`
`denies cutting-edge technology to competition

`
`I Market Opportunity
`
`Large and Growing Market Opportunity
`
`- The market for digital mapping and GPS-enhanced products is large and growing. While penetration
`
`is currently low, increasing user acceptance is accelerating growth. Locational 3D software growth is
`
`inherently tied to demand in GPS-enabled devices and geolocational services.
`
`4*
`
`Mobile GPS-equipped handsets should reach over 380 million units globally by 2008, 6x
`
`2004 levels‘
`
`On-board vehicle penetration is under 5% but expected to grow at a CAGR of 20+% over
`
`the next 5 years? By 2010, in-vehicle telematics are expected to penetrate 60+% of the
`
`North American market, 50+"/o of the Japanese market and about 40% of the European
`
`market.3
`
`ii
`
`In North America alone, the GPS market is expected to exceed $10 billion in 2008 from
`
`$6.5 billion in 20052
`
`GPS has historically been prevalent in the military, homeland security and outdoor
`
`markets, however in recent years it has moved into new application domains, specifically
`
`high~vo|ume commercial and consumer uses

`
`3DVU | Market Opportunity
`
`Market Drivers
`
`The accelerated growth and size of this market will be driven by the following factors and catalysts:
`
`Significant advances and consumption in mobile computing and GPS technologies are:
`
`V» More storage capacity
`
`Increased wireless bandwidth
`
`Power consumption improvements
`
`Worldwide legislative mandates for E-911(USA), E-112 (Europe) and E-119 (Japan) will be a
`
`catalyst for growth. Additionally, U.S. legislative initiatives such as mandating tire pressure monitoring
`
`systems and motor vehicle event data recorders may result in mandatory in—vehicle telernatic systems
`
`which would likely include navigation.
`
`Proliferation of navigation and location-based, multi-media entertainment applications in vehicles
`
`and mobile devices
`
`Improvement in quality, availability and breadth of digital mapping content and databases
`
`Increased consumer demand for mobile mapping applications away from home and the office
`
`7
`
`

`
`I Market Opportunity
`
`Target Markets
`
`3DVU’s technology has the potential to become the ubiquitous enabling backbone for enhancing a
`
`wide range of geospatial and navigation applications across several potentially large markets:
`
`In-vehicle Navigation
`
`Automotive Manufacturers (Ford, GM, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, etc.)
`
`. Navigation System Suppliers (Alpine, Blaupunkt, Denso, Harman Becker, Mobis, Siemens, etc.)
`
`Mobile Devices
`
`Smartphones (Sony-Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Treo, etc.)
`
`-» Personal Navigation Devices (Dell, Garmin, HP, Magellanffhales, NaviGon, Palm, TomTom, etc.)
`
`Internet-based Mapping
`
`Internet Portals I Web Appiications (AOL, Google, MSN, Yahoo!)
`
`Software (Microsoft, Rand McNally, etc.)
`
`Wireless Location-based Gaming (Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, Ubisoft, etc.)
`
`Other Markets
`
`Asset-tracking, emergency response, engineering planning, fleet I traffic management, homeland
`
`security and defense, mining and exploration, simulation and 3D visualization (industrial and consumer)

`

`
`3D\/U | Market Opportunity
`
`Market Segment Challenges
`
`
`Competition is intensifying in the race to differentiate geolocational information services and
`products, with each segment of the market facing distinct challenges, however 3DVU‘s visualization
`technology stands to benefit regardless of who the winners are.
`
`Handset! Device 0EMs:
`
`- Low barriers to entry; highly fragmented
`
`Segment suffers from commoditization over time
`
`- Eventual pricing pressures and margin erosion
`
`»— Content! imaging Providers:
`
`Fewer players
`
`-- Low threat of new entrants
`
`- High initial capital outlays in building out digital mapping database
`
`- Customers have little bargaining power. few substitutes
`
`Web-based mapping applications:
`
`Competition has intensified since Google's acquisition of Keyhole
`
`Service differentiation and user experience drive traffic
`
`Visitor expectations are high and switching costs are negligible
`
`Online "wow" factor is viral and travels at high speeds
`

`
`

`
`11 Value Proposition
`
`10
`
`

`
`I Value Proposition
`
`Benefits to Microsoft
`
`3DVU offers a compelling value to Microsoft's overall corporate strategy and Virtual Earth’s competitive
`position, specifically:
`
`H Quickly differentiates Microsoft's mapping and locational services and touches the end-user with a
`unique experience -- for Wrtual Earth users “the world will never look the same"
`
`~I Abiiity to capitalize on the broad growth in location-based 3D visualization solutions and products by
`partnering with and selling to OEM’s across multiple industries and platforms
`
`Realizes a “multiplier effec " as (1) content providers aggressively build out digital topographic
`databases of imagery and (2) 3DVU technology becomes integrated and bundled into existing Microsoft
`products and services
`
`Point technology that is largely insulated from competitive pressures on specific devices; potential
`ubiquity capitalizes on macro trends
`
`Provides new technology faster and potentially cheaper than in-house development. Eliminates risk,
`cost overruns and delays in coming to market
`
`- Offers an experienced and accomplished team of 3D visualization experts in programming, mathematics
`and marketing — avoids the difficulty in locating and recruiting scarce and valuable human resources
`
`11
`
`

`
`3DVU
`
`I Value Proposition
`
`A Qualitative Approach to Valuation
`
`m Traditional valuation analysis and metrics are difficult to apply given the company's stage in its
`
`corporate development
`
`Lack of true comparable benchmarks
`
`av Traditional multiple analysis and metrics do not apply
`
`.~ Lack of near-term free cash flow precludes DCF analysis
`
`»« Acquisition value per headcount is unrealistic given market scarcity of demand for
`technical expertise in 3D visualization
`
`12
`
`

`
`3DVU
`
`I Value Proposition
`
`Valuation Drivers
`
`The foilowing qualitative factors will drive valuation:
`
`Market potential for enhanced products employing 3D visualization technology
`
`» Absence of competing technologies in limited computing devices provides an immediate
`competitive advantage
`
`Limited technology risk; many products are commercially proven
`
`.- Strategic partnerships and distribution agreements
`
`»- Formal agreements are in place
`Alliances and partnerships validate 3DVU’s market potential and technology
`
`»- Robust R&D pipeline in mobile handset! PDAs, embedded chipset, defense and mobile gaming
`
`»- Experienced management team with |ocation—based 3D visualization technical and marketing
`backgrounds
`
`Proven ability and quality of engineers I programmers
`)' Scarcity of talent pool in the marketplace
`
`.» Cost of in—house development by Microsoft
`
`13
`
`

`
`3DVU
`
`I Value Proposition
`
`Exceptional Investment Opportunity
`
`3DVU is on the verge of experiencing dramatic and profitable growth
`
`Large addressable market across multiple applications, industries and customers
`
`Primary constraint on growth has been lack of marketing capacity
`
`3DVU and locational mapping markets are at a point of inflexion — accelerated growth looking
`
`forward
`
`Not capital intensive
`
`Continuing to introduce new products I applications and sign distribution agreements
`
`Targeting high performance! high margin applications
