World water crisescrisis supports the technology rollout Nearly 97% of the water on the earth is salt water. Of the 3% that represents fresh water, overmore than two-thirds of fresh water is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps, leaving only 0.9% available for human consumption. Changes in global climates associated with global warming are affecting water resources worldwide. In many regions of the world, the combination of lower precipitation and higher evaporation is diminishing water sup-plies in rivers, lakes and underground reservoirs. According to the International Water Resources Association, one-third of the developing world will face severe water shortages in the 21st century. By 2025, water shortages will be commonplace in poorer nations where resources are limited and population growth is rapid. In 2000, the United Nations World Commission on Wa-ter estimated an additional $100 billion dollars a year in spending would be needed to alleviate water scarcity worldwide. Solid outlook for wastewater treatment equipment market The U.S. population is estimated to reach 420 million by mid-2050, which can put enormous strain on existing water resources,; however, this can strengthen the demand for water recycling and reuse systems. There are more than 50,000 community water systems and more than 16,000 wastewater systems in the U.S. The equip-ment that was installed following the Clean Water Act in 1972 is coming to the end of its lifecycle, and there is a stringent need to upgrade and retrofit the wastewater treatment equipment. New market opportunities exist for manufacturers that can provide energy-efficient, reduced-footprint equipment upgrades that not only replace non-functional or older equipment, but bring the end-user into compliance with strict regulations that govern wastewater treatment. The U.S. EPA estimates a $202.5 billion nationwide capital investment is needed to control wastewater pollution for up to a 20-year period. This amount includes $134.4 billion for wastewater treatment and collection systems, $54.8 billion for combined sewer overflow corrections, and $9.0 billion for storm-water management. Small com-munities have documented needs of approximately $17.0 billion.

The Company is developing, modifying, marketing, selling and distributing products for the treatment of indus-trial water. NHYT completed a licensing agreement with Neohydro Corp., a company with overmore than 30 years of experience in the electro-oxidation industry, for the acquisition of the exclusive worldwide marketing, distribution and licensing rights for its proprietary technologies - Neohydro™ and Brinecell™. These technologies represent commercially viable wastewater treatment solutions for industrial applications utilizing an innovative electrolytic process to produce clean (micro-pathogen free) water. The Company’s products utilize water and salt (NaCl); when used with the new technology - Neohydro™ and Brinecell™, the water and salt are transformed into a reversible, safe, disinfecting solution. The on-site generation of a synergistic, mixed-oxidant solution by NHYT’s electro-oxidation equipment produces a powerful solution of hypochlorus acid, ozone from water, hydrogen peroxide, low levels of hydroxyl radicals, and low levels of sodi-um hypochlorite. The combination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ozone to produce the short-lived hydroxyl radicals (<1 sec. lifetime) integrates three very effective organic, inorganicc and microbial destruction methods into a single system. The proprietary electrolytic treatment process removes a variety of contaminants that are impossible or too expen-sive to be removed by filtration or chemical treatment systems. Among these contaminants are emulsified oil, total petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals and suspended solids. The solution generated from basic salt, water and electricity creates a powerful oxidizing solution that destroys virus, fungi, and bacteria without harmful chemi-cals or high heat. In addition, the solution is harmless to humans and animals, as well as ecologically friendly. The Company’s wastewater treatment systems represent a mobile, compact, modular miniplant efficiently de-signed to reduce operating cost and minimize maintenance cost. Made of corrosion resistant materials such as high quality and long lasting electrodes, wastewater treatment systems can be designed for automatic or manual control for end of line or point of source applications. The programmable logic software manages all system pro-cesses, monitors operation and errors, and provides direct communication to the factory. The communication kit allows NHYT technicians to monitor the system, adjust operations and processes, and troubleshoot the system in real-time from the factory. Strategy

NHYT’s strategy is to exploit, integrate and commercialize leading waste water treatment, and recycling, and to re-use technologies with the objective of creating a cleaner and healthier global environment andwhile capital-izing on profitable opportunities for its shareholders. NHYT targets emerging markets and identifies specific projects where the need and opportunity for implemen-tation of industrial waste water treatment technologies are most significant. By partnering with industry and technology leaders, the Company intends to implement and market effective, integrated waste water treatment solutions by incorporating proven, new and improved technologies to make its business more dynamic, more ef-ficient, and ultimately more profitable.

The Company’s marketed technology is based on a process called high-voltage electrolysis. ElectrolyticThe elec-trolytic process is widely adopted in waste water treatment, including the purification of living waste water and many kinds of industrial waste water, especially with better results for waste water with high contents of surface active agent, oil-bound waste water, plating waste water, textile printing & and dyeing, waste water and print waste water. The principle of electrolysis of water

Electrolysis of water is an electrolytic process that converts water into oxygen and hydrogen gas with the aid of an electrical current. The electrolytic process requires that an electrolyte, an ionized solution or molten metallic salt, completes an electric circuit between two electrodes. When the electrodes are connected to a source of direct current - one, called the cathode - becomes negatively (-) charged, while the other - called the anode - becomes positively (+) charged. The electrical current converts water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Within the electrolytic cell of the cathode, hydrogen ions accept electrons in a reduction reaction, thus forming hydrogen gas. At the anode, hydroxide ions undergo an oxidation reaction and provide electrons to the anode to complete the circuit and create water and oxygen gas. The mass of a substance produced by an electrode during electroly-sis is proportional to the quantity of electrical charge transferred at that electrode.

Wastewater treatment equipment market According to a Freedonia Group report, the worldwide demand for water treatment products is projected to reach $40 billion by 2011. Although the U.S. will remain the largest water treatment market, developing nations, particu-larly such as China and India, are expected to register the fastest growth. Meanwhile, the market for water and wastewater treatment chemicals is expected to exceed $23 billion by 2010, up from $18 billion in 2005, according to McIlvaine report. The U.S. Water Recycling and Reuse Systems Market earned revenues of $676 million in 2006 and expect to reach $1.3 billion in 2013. The United States population is estimated to reach 420 million by mid-2050, which can put enormous strain on the existing water resources. This can, however, strengthen the demand for water recycling and reuse systems. A Frost & Sullivan report mentioned that advanced wastewater treatment technologies, such as continuous backwash filters and membrane bioreactor (MBR), are capable of producing water quality to a level that is acceptable for recycle and reuse, and that the latest technology advancements will help to expand existing water resources to cope with increasing demand for freshwater. The power industry is likely to be by far the largest market segment followed by municipal water treatment. The growth in the power market is due primarily to the switch from gas to coal as the fuel for new plants. The world market for water and wastewater treatment chemicals in the power sector will rise from $3.4 billion in 2006 to $4 billion in 2010. Municipal wastewater will be the third -largest segment. Pulp and paper, refineries and chemicals occupy the next three spots in the rankings. Others include: metal working, electronics, food, pharmaceuticals, and mining. In the United States there are more than 50,000 community water systems and more than 16,000 wastewater sys-tems. Most water and wastewater systems are owned by municipal governments. The U.S. EPA estimates $202.5 billion is the nationwide capital investment needed to control wastewater pollution for up to a 20-year period. This amount includes $134.4 billion for wastewater treatment and collection systems, $54.8 billion for combined sewer overflow corrections, and $9.0 billion for storm-water management. Small communities have documented needs of approximately $17.0 billion.

In fact, NHYT is the only company that uses High Voltage Electrolysishigh voltage electrolysis to generate electro oxidants. The Company’s growth strategy is based on technology deployment through mobile treatment units and align-ment with service companies in the Industry to sell the wastewater treatment units directly to the oil and gas com-panies:, focusing specifically on the purification of water and the treatment of Waste Water for drilling of natural gas. The industry is looking for new technology, since the older technologies like distillation and reverse osmosis are costly and, highly inefficient, and not as effective as the NHYT’s Electro Oxidation technology. In addition, the Company’s process is environmentally friendly and eliminates transportation costs by being able to treat the water on-site. The Company has estimated that the cost of equipment is around 50% of what current technologies cost and 50% to operate. The Company plans to start commercialization already in 2008 and enter the market with two units: 1. The “Rover 15ww model” is mobile and can treat two well sites a week. The unit is trailer mounted completely self sufficient with a capacity of 15,000 gallons per day. The Company is planning to sell or lease at least 6six Rov-ers 15ww models at a price of $200,000 each in 2009. 2. The “Electro-Ox 55 model” is a skid mounted all inclusive unit that is not portable and is designed to be cen-tered at a main station where water can be brought and treated at a standalone plant within close vicinity to the drilling wells.

Neohydro Technologies, Corp. (OTCBB: NHYT) 14

The Company’s management is expecting a significant revenue growth in the next five years, ranging around 200% per year. With these levels of growth NHYT expects to reach break even already in 2009.

Valuation For valuation purposes, we compared NHYT with other companies that provide water treatment solutions to in-dustrial as well as oil and gas sectors. The peer group companies currently trade at forward Price/Sales multiples of around 1.16 x 2009 sales and at P/E multiples at 11.20 x 2009 earnings. We believe MVSRNHYT should trade at better multiples given its low cost technology, solid growth outlook and rapid revenue uptake.

We believe the Company should trade at 10 x 2011 earnings. That is we believe the Company’s fair market value could near $64 million, assuming the management forecast of revenue and earnings will materialize. Dividing this amount by 76 million fully diluted shares outstanding, we derive a $0.84 price target. As a result, we are initiating coverage of NHYT with a Speculative Buy rating and a $0.84 price target. However, we strongly advise investors to consider the risk factors mentioned below since the Company faces many challenges in achieving its revenue growth goals.

Initial Report

Neohydro Technologies, Corp. (OTCBB: NHYT) 15

Limited operating history The Company has a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its future prospects.; NHYT has not reported revenues to date. Moreover, NHYT changed its business focus in July 2008 and plans to commercial-ize a new technology that has not yet gained a significant market acceptance. As a result, the Company could incur annual operating losses over the next period as it expands its marketing and commercialization efforts. Therefore, there is no assurance that the Company will generate adequate operating revenues or achieve profitable opera-tions from its current business initiatives. Dependence on license agreements The Company depends on third-party intellectual property that is necessary for its business. To date, NHYT licensed exclusive marketing and distribution rights from Neohydro Corp. The Company`’s licensor may fail to maintain or to enforce patent protection for those products to which the Company secured exclusive rights. More-over, the license excludes the right to manufacture products. Thus, there can be no assurance that Neohydro Corp. will not curtail or discontinue its operations, which will have an adverse impact on the Company`’s business. Market competitiveness NHYT operates in a the highly competitive industry of waste water treatment industry. There are multi-million dollar companies with greater resources for marketing, distribution and development. The Company may be in a disadvantage if any of its competitors will introduce on the market similar products. These circumstances could affect the Company`’s business development, financial condition, and results of operations. Need for additional capital Since NHYT is in development stage, it has reported no revenues to date. In order to develop its distribution and marketing channels in the selected markets and to continue the expansion of marketed product line, the Company will require additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to find the needed sources of financing and those will be available on terms favorable to it, or at all. In this case, NHYT may not be unable to continue, develop or expand its operations. Regulatory environments NHYT is subject to the requirements of environmental and occupational safety, and health laws and regulations in the United States, including those governing the use, storage, handling, generation, treatment, emission release, discharge and disposal of certain materials, substances and wastes. There is no assurance that laws, regulations policies, or regulatory agency in the United States will not be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner that will essentially change the ability of NHYT to carry on its business.
