1 CHANGING THE WAY WE CREATE ENERGY. A high yield wind energy investment.

2 RENEWABLE ENERGY, THE WAY FORWARD The renewable energy sector has witnessed unprecedented growth over the last few years. This growth has been boosted by the Government s commitment in providing alternative sources of energy in the country. Energy sources like wind, solar and biomass have been responsible for providing more than half of the energy demands of the entire country at 35.4 GW or 54.52% by the time it reaches noon on a daily basis. Investment in the energy sector has also been on the up. In 2015, more than 329 billion was invested by companies and investors worldwide. Around 120 gigawatts of new capacity has also been added to the global supply chain of energy. It s no surprise that the world is turning its attention to renewable energy, even more so than oil, coal and natural gas combined. The UK government has announced that it will subsidize 300 million worth of renewable projects in the same time frame. This is in line with plans to phase out coal fire plants by 2025, which for the first time in the UK has witnessed a reduced output compared to renewable energy. One of the main reason for this decreased output is Britain ratification of the Paris climate agreement.

3 MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION Onshore wind has now become one of the most cost effective sources of home-grown energy in the UK. With all the right conditions required to generate sustainable wind energy coupled with the fact that it is in demand makes it easier to understand why it has become a well-sought investment product. Of course, wind energy is not the only renewable energy program being proposed by the government. Other forms of energy like tidal that have been approved by the government in early However, none of these energy programs have the same impressive energy profile as wind energy.

4 CHANGING THE WAY WE CREATE ENERGY. Developed with a strong group of experts leading the way, WSR Hawker began by developing medium sized wind turbines in Scotland, Ireland and the Midlands. The aim was simple: create an eco-friendly source of energy whilst delivering a substantial source of income. This attracts investors who not only have a keen sense of environmental awareness, but are also looking for a high yield investment. By the end of 2016, we had successfully completed stages 1 and 2 of our most recent project, allowing us the produce energy from a total of 9 turbines throughout the UK. For the progression of stage 3, we have secured a further 2 wind turbine sites which will hold a total of 3 turbines and alongside our partners we are now in the process of working towards completion of stage 3 which will enable to progress onto future stages and projects.

5 INVESTMENT SUMMARY After the successful completion of stage 1 and 2, investors are now offered the opportunity to invest in stage 3. Stage 3 delivers a senior secured bond, delivering up to 14,6% per annum for a fixed term of 3 years. Benefiting from the added security of government backed generation tariff. Twin revenue streams to secure interest. Asset backed, securing capital against WSR Hawker assets. Loan repayable at the end of the 3 year term.

6 SAFEGUARDING YOUR INVESTMENT To safeguard the rights of Bondholders, WSR Hawker offers the following: First Legal Charge over 1assets. This is the legal right for a lender to decide what to do with property if the borrower defaults on repayment. Using the example of a home mortgage, the bank will hold first charge on the property until the mortgage is fully repaid. In the case of WSR Hawker Bonds, WSR Hawker (the borrower) grants first legal charge to the Bondholders (the lender). Bondholders will hold first charge on all WSR s Hawker assets until the full capital amount has been repaid. In the event of default, Bondholders will have the right to decide what to do with WSR Hawker s property in order to recoup their investment. 2 Independent Regulated Security Trustee. A security trustee is an independent party who holds security interests in trust for creditors. The trustee has the legal power and duty to manage those interests for the benefit of creditors, in this case, Bondholders.

7 UK FEED-IN TARIFFS (FIT) As per the Paris agreement 2016, the UK Government is obliged to generate 15% of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by In order to meet this target, incentive programs have been introduced to attract investments in low-carbon electricity generation projects. The Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme is an example of one of the incentive programs introduced. FIT was introduced by the UK government and guarantees wind energy sites a payment per unit of electricity they produced. RENEWABLE OBLIGATION CERTIFICATES (ROC) Renewable Obligation Certificate scheme (ROCs) is another incentive program which WSR Hawker takes advantage of. It requires UK electricity suppliers to generate part of their electricity from renewable sources of energy. ROCs are issued to suppliers that are compliant with this scheme. Generating electricity from renewable energy sources is a requirement for companies in order to meet their environmental obligations. Therefore, ROCs represent more of a must have than just a nice to have.

8 TWIN REVENUE STREAMS Wind energy projects are able to benefit from two sources of income: 1. FIT where is money paid by the government for every unit of electricity generated by licensed electricity suppliers. 2. Electricity supplies will receive an additional income from selling electricity back to the national grid, export rate of circa 4.55p per kwh, or at the market rate. Both of these tariffs come with a 20 year guarantee and index linked to the Retail Price Index. Therefore, investors who invest today will benefit from these two schemes for the next 20 years. They will also enjoy high-yielding investment. The Bond will pay an annual return starting from 9.2% over three years. investors have flexible dividend payment options throughout the investment period.

9 A SECURED INCOME TURBINE PRODUCES ENERGY ENERGY IS CONVERTED INTO ELECTRICITY ELECTRICITY IS SOLD BACK TO THE NATIONAL GRID GENERATION TARIFF IS PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR EVERY UNIT OF ELECTRICITY PRODUCED (FIT)

10 Stage 1 Stage 1 of this projects features 4 wind turbines which are spread across The Midlands and Northern Ireland. With varying wind speeds across all of the sites averaging at 7.5 m/s, and a average power generation each year of 3,445,625 KW, stage 1 sites are currently producing energy which is being converted and sold back to the national grid.

11 Curk Curk is located in West Yorkshire and the site consists of a singular turbine. The Curk site is situated in close proximity to a separate community turbine, this site was chosen for its consistent wind speeds averaging at 7.1 m/s. Site: Curk Location: N W Turbine Model: HYO HS-20 Turbine Capacity: 200 KW Average Wind Speed: 7.1 Average power generation (annually): 762,095 Average power generation (monthly): 63,3508 Estimated homes powered: 237

12 Bar Farm Bar Farm is situated in Halifax in West Yorkshire and consists of a singular turbine. West Yorkshire is known for higher than average speeds, the Bar Farm site has an average wind speed of 7.6 m/s which allows a 250KW turbine to produce enough energy to power an average of 279 UK homes per year. Site: Bar Farm Location: N W Turbine Model: HYO HS-25J Turbine Capacity: 250 KW Average Wind Speed: 7.6 Average power generation (annually): 882,055 Average power generation (monthly): 73,504 Estimated homes powered: 279

13 Broagh Farmside Broagh Farmside is a singular turbine site located on the outskirts of Knockloughrim in Northern Ireland. With a turbine capacity of 250 KW and an average wind speed of 7.4 m/s, Broagh Farmside has the potential to power approximately 263 UK homes every year. Site: Broagh Farmside Location: , Turbine Model: HYO Hs-25J Turbine Capacity: 250 KW Average Wind Speed: 7.4 Average power generation (annually): 861,734 Average power generation (monthly): 71,811 Estimated homes powered: 263

14 Ballymon Ballymon is a singular turbine located in Northern Ireland. With average wind speeds of 7.9 m/s Ballymon is producing 939,741 kw each year. There is the possibility to expand the Ballymon site for future WSR Hawker projects. Site: Ballymon Location: N W Turbine Model: HYO HS-25J Turbine Capacity: 250 KW Average Wind Speed: 7.9 m/s Average power generation (annually): 939,741 Average power generation (monthly): 78,312 Estimated homes powered: 301

15 Stage 2 Stage 2 is the largest of the 3 stages, comprising of 5 wind turbines spread across 2 different site locations in Northern Ireland. The turbines vary in size and are now currently generating in excess of 631,115 KW each month. The average wind speeds across the sites currently stands at 8.2 m/s allowing for an average annual output of 7,573380KW. With turbine productivity running at 71-84% annually, we introduced a revolutionary strategy breaking away from the industry norm of building turbines in one compressed space, creating wind farms. Instead we are setting industry standards by scattering our turbines throughout the UK in places with high average wind speeds which has allowed us to maximise on productivity leading to a dramatic increase in total output, giving us a considerable edge on the industry

16 Forest Hillside Forest Hillside is a dual turbine site located in The Midlands. This site was chosen to hold two turbines due to the high average wind speeds of the area. With two 350 KW turbines, Forest Hillside is producing a total of 2, KW each year and generating power for an estimated 724 UK homes. Site: Forest Hillside Location: N W Turbine Model: SZ Turbine Capacity: 350 KW, 350 KW Average Wind Speed: 8.1 m/s Average power generation (annually): 2, KW Average power generation (monthly): 202,166 KW Estimated homes powered: 724

17 Carric Carric is located in Northern Ireland and features a cluster of three 500 KW turbines. Carric does have neighboring turbines however pre approval for site expansion has been given. The Carric site does have the potential for growth and may be used for future WSR Hawker projects. Carric is currently producing in excess of 1,141622KW each year. Site: Carric Location: N W Turbine Model: 47-AS-500 Turbine Capacity: 500 KW, 500 KW, 500 KW Average Wind Speed: 8.2 m/s Average power generation (annually): 5, KW Average power generation (monthly): 428,949 KW Estimated homes powered: 1502

18 Stage 3 With the experiences and lessons learnt from previous projects we have employed a future forward strategy for stage 3, where we will not only continue to scatter our turbines throughout locations with the highest average wind speeds in the UK, but we are also varying our turbine size allowing us to allocate a larger percent of the stages 3 funding to areas where power generation can be maximised. Stage 3 will consist of 4 turbines situated at sites in Northern Ireland and Scotland, we estimate that Stage 3 will increase total power production of this project by 37%. Excluding stage 3, Stages 1 and 2 are currently generating eno9ugh energy to power the equivalent of 3319 average UK homes each year. With the inclusion of Stage 3 we anticipate this to increase to 4547.

19 Dun Forres Dun Forres is located in Scotland and as one of the first approved sites for stage 2, Dun Forres is also one of the smallest sites of the project with a singular 200 KW turbine with an estimated power generation of 749,528. Site: Dun Forres Location: N W Turbine Model: SZ Turbine Capacity: 200 KW Average Wind Speed: 6.9 m/s Average power generation (annually): 749,528 KW Average power generation (monthly): 51,312 KW Estimated homes powered: 224

20 Cahill Cahill is a duel turbine site situated in Northern Ireland. This particular site was chosen for its potential for expansion in the future and was originally proposed as a Stage 2 site, but due delays in the application process Cahill joined Stage 3 of this project. Site: Cahill Location: N W Turbine Model: SE-105 Turbine Capacity: 250 KW, 250 KW Average Wind Speed: 7.9 m/s Average power generation (annually): 1, KW Average power generation (monthly): 149,031 KW Estimated homes powered: 563

21 The Process Stage 3 will follow the same succesfull process as stages 1 and 2. Stage 3 is already underway and we have progressed to the second phase of the process by identifying sites and full due diligence checks being completed. IDENTIFY We will identify and secure sites that have planning permission and accreditation. Our team will carry out a pre-evaluation task which will assess the latitude and average speed of the sites. PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 DUE-DILIGENCE Once the sites have been secured we will carry out due-diligence ensuring the properties can be leased and making sure it is possible to build on the site. Legal checks will also be conducted and wind speed reports are generated to ensure the best turbine is selected for the site. PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 DEVELOP Once all procedures are completed and all documents and permissions have been obtained, construction will begin. PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 SELL The energy that is generated will be sold to the national grid. The company will also be able to benefit from government subsidies that they receive. PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 GENERATE Once the wind turbines are up and running they will be connected to the grid. Income will then be generated as soon as the wind turbines start to spin. PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3

22 INVESTMENT STRUCTURE Repayment of capital Once the sites have established a track record of energy generation and income, we have the option to sell or refinance them to repay the capital sum to our investors. Our key focus is to build the value of the sites.
