1 Train Welders Faster, Cheaper, Safer

2 ABOUT 123 CERTIFICATION INC. Founded in 2001 by Claude Choquet, industry leader Seasoned management team Claude has over 25 years of welding and simulation experience Highly skilled team continuously improving the solution Several Millions $ Invested in R&D Welding simulation is our core business 1 st in welding simulator business with sales in over 27 countries

3 The Problem Specialized trade people such as Welders are hard to find and will slow the growth of the American economy as it recovers 60% of skilled production positions are unfilled due to staff shortage The number of welders has fallen from 570,000 in 1988 to 360,000 in 2012 Ref: Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute Average age of a welder in the USA is 55 and will retire within 10 years Younger generations are no longer attracted by welding considered dangerous and arduous By 2020, there will be a shortage of 290,000 welding professionals. Ref: American Welding Society

4 Market Size US market has 4600 schools with welding educational programs: $460M addressable The global market is expected to be $2,2B USD over the next 10 years.

5 Market trends Typical welding lab: 10 to 80 welding booths (AVG 20) - Most schools have heard of welding simulators and tried one - Many already bought 1 or 2 simulators (mostly Lincoln) - 50% of teachers accept welding simulation as a valid tool to bring trainees to welding faster, better and cheaper (Lincoln invested $$$ to educate the market over the past 36 Months - Schools are planning to integrate welding simulation into their cursus - Most teachers are disappointed with Lincoln (plastic welding torch, high cost, missing TIG and STICK, Windows, no classroom management system) With in 16 Months - Most schools will buy their first simulators (1 to 4) - The more familiar with welding simulators will implement their welding simulation strategy - Expected Ratio of 1 simulator per 4 real welding machine

6 Market Trends Typical welding lab: 10 to 80 welding booths (AVG 20) Current situation Most schools have heard of welding simulators and tried one Many already bought 1 or 2 simulators (mostly Lincoln) 50% of teachers accept welding simulation as a valid tool to bring trainees to welding faster, better and cheaper (Lincoln invested $$$ to educate the market over the past 36 Months Schools are planning to integrate welding simulation into their cursus Most teachers are disappointed with Lincoln (plastic welding torch, high cost, missing TIG and STICK, Windows, no classroom management system) Coming wave (next 12 to 24 Months) Most schools will buy their first simulators (1 to 4) The more familiar with welding simulators will implement their welding simulation strategy. Expected Ratio of 1 simulator per 4 real welding machine

7 PAIN WELDING TRAINING CENTERS Need to attract new welder apprentices Beginners fear of welding s inherent risks Less money and high cost of consumables Need to rapidly impart a good hand-eye coordination Gap between skills learned in training centers and skills needed in industry Reduce Injury Costs

8 Target Clients Vocational Training Institutions High schools Trade schools Colleges Universities Private vocational centers Military & correctional rehabilitation Programs with Welding Welding Automotive Agriculture Aviation Maintenance & repairs Mechanical Engineering Ventilation and HVAC Ship building & repair Building construction

9 Main Welding Process Taught Program with Welding Welding Automotive Agriculture Aviation Maintenance & repairs Mechanical Engineering Ventilation and HVAC Ship building & repair Building construction Welding Processes MIG, Stick, TIG & Flux Core TIG & MIG Mainly Stick Mainly MIG MIG & Stick MIG & Stick MIG & Stick TIG multi-pass, MIG, Stick MIG & Stick

10 THE SOLUTION: ARC+ The Arc+ Welding Simulator: Virtual 3D welding simulation Intuitive, simple and safe to operate Exact analysis and diagnostics Monitored self-learning that allows teachers to give feedback at a later date Easy integration into curriculum for developing dexterity and muscle memory

11 VALUE PROPOSITON Better Faster Cheaper Safer Greener More material, alloys, positions, practice time Increases one on one teaching time Accelerate hiring process (85% faster) Increases speed in acquiring certified welders by three (testimonials available) Consumables reduced by 30% (metal, energy, gases, ventilation) Highly mobile to serve multiple training sites No risk of accident with virtual training Less reporting and premium 30% less Greenhouse Gas Emissions 30% less toxic exposure (CO, NO 2, COCl 2, PH 3, PM2.5, O 3 )

12 TRAINER TESTIMONIES "It is sparkling without the sparks. The welder experiences the full blast of an arc without the corresponding danger... and the experience is a lot safer." Richard Vandal Professor of industrial welding Soudure Industrielle Richelieu "Immediate and significant welding materials cost savings during the preliminary training drills for welding skills." Carol Vaillancourt Professor of welding assembly CS des Samares The Arc+ Simulator allows our students to acquire manual dexterity much faster and efficiently, a skill they can then transfer to real welding with confidence. This process improves our training in a lot of ways. Jean-Pierre Lupien Groupe Tremblay The simulator creates a sane competition environment between students. It is enjoyable for them, while remaining a true training tool that teaches welding basic notions. Dr. Hong Li Beijing University of Technology

13 Competitive landscape Toy type Few functionalities Expensive Out dated Bulky Few functionalities Expensive Heavy (400 lbs) Missing key features Very expensive Less realistic Poor service Same price range

14 Competitive advantage Cost effective - Portability - Arc-on-Time Best bang for the buck Unsurpassed Mobility 50% cheaper than benchmark (Lincoln) with more critical functionalities. Unique Modular approach at lowest price point Suitcase transportable, small footprint & 30 sec set-up time Multi-site training Closest to real welding Highest fidelity / User friendly Plug & Play Uses real welding gun, helmet, telescopic workbench Stable & 3D high quality graphics, no cyber sickness Touch screen monitor No calibration insures guaranteed accuracy (Vs 1h calibration time) No interference Competition requires 18 spacing between simulators IP protection 3 USA patents

15 WHY ARC+ Most realistic simulator on the market Real guns, rugged solution, proven since 2006 The result of over 25 years of experience servicing the welding and training industry around the world Metallurgical diagnostics developed by welding experts Supports the most important welding processes - GMAW (MIG/MAG), MCAW, SMAW, FCAW and GTAW (TIG) Small footprint means easier classroom setup True portability - Can be transported by 1 person and setup from transport case to first weld in 15 minutes Flexibility to add more WPS

16 EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES Learn to control the weld pool, arc length and how to produce a quality weld with instant feedback Maximized self-learning capability Competition - assessment scoring system increases the learning readiness of trainees Exercise levels - beginner, intermediate and expert Replays trainee motion sequences via each user s personalized databank enables monitoring of progress HD video output for large group teaching Maximize training effect in the shortest amount of time
