Certain statements contained in this presentation may constitute "forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate,” "believe,” "estimate,” "should,” "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Neoteck Solutions Inc. (“Neoteck”) and, on closing of the transaction between Neoteck and Hello Pal International Inc. (the “Transaction”), the Resulting Issuer to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; lack of brand awareness; early stage commercialization; limited number of products; limited operating history; intellectual property protection and, on closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer; market fluctuations; and retention of key personnel. Forward looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including global economic conditions to show modest improvement in the near to medium future, no material change to competitive environment, Neoteck and, on closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will be able to access sufficient qualified staff and there will be no material changes to the tax and other regulatory requirements governing Neoteck and, on closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer. While Neoteck and, on closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer considers these assumptions may be reasonable based on information currently available to it, these assumptions may prove to be incorrect. Actual results may vary from such forward-looking information for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties disclosed in the section titled "Risk Factors” in the Listing Statement filed with the Canadian Securities Exchange. Neoteck and, on closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer intends to discuss in its quarterly and annual reports any events or circumstances that
those disclosed in the Listing Statement. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of such factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forwarding looking statement. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward- looking statements. The factors identified above are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Neoteck and, on closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer. The forward looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and, except as required by law, Neoteck and, on closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result
are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to, and placing undue reliance on, forward-looking statements.

just using text translations.

translation tools, you can:

13
User activities expanding beyond websites and desktop software to mobile apps

behind WeChat and QQ)
generating sales
Proven market demand, proven business model
14
Focus on Social / Fun / Games – Socializing is primary focus, language learning is more a ‘by-product’; but we think that, ironically, it’s the better long term way to learn. – Games to enhance socializing, not just for learning – Chat is a core feature, not a supplementary one Target Travel crowd – Our direction is highly complementary to traveling crowd, especially ‘couchsurfers’ and backpackers, who are more social and keen to meet locals – Marketing campaigns to target this crowd, including Air BnB, TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet, etc. We have a unique / different strategy to competitors
15
– Monthly, quarterly or yearly membership fees – Access VIP features eg., full phrasebooks, no translation limits, etc.
– Many different ways this can be done
– Eg., stickers, premium phrasebooks
– Allow people to become teachers and charge students
– Structured courses can be provided for serious language learners for a fee. Current Focus on user numbers with revenue generation later
16
We have achieved impressive downloads with no marketing
17
$37.60 billion by 2020 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 36.3% during the forecast period according to Research and
social learning is expected to be approximately 25%
served in 2016 to mobile phones and tablets worldwide. That’s a 400 percent increase from 2013. From 2016 to 2019, mobile ads will nearly double again, rising to $195.55 billion. We have multiple avenues of revenue generation planned
18
What we have that can’t be reproduced quickly/easily:
– Back-end content-production system
phrases and recordings etc.
translations – Actual content
– Phrases and words, translations, literal translations, audio recordings, for many languages
– 8 languages, tons of picture, audio and video
– Some parts (eg., translation engine) can be reproduced quickly, but not easy to do it well. Other parts would take some time.
We have spent years building and perfecting our technology
19
1. Requires expertise in both language education and technology
– Many language education companies – Many technology companies – Not many language education companies which focus on technology, and not many which provide both English and Chinese language courses
2. Must launch in Western and Chinese markets at the same time
– Success requires service to be launched in China and Western markets simultaneously, so that learners can make foreign friends. – Company must be familiar and comfortable with both markets.
Not easy for US company. Not easy for Chinese company.
Language education + Technology company
