Executive Summary
Company-Incorporated in 2008 after 10 years of research that originated at Ag-Canada-Saskatchewan based with commercial facility in Saskatoon
Market-Operates in the $51 billion dollar global agricultural pesticide industry-Synthetic pesticides are now heavily restricted and limited in supply due to government legislation to reduce their use. Further restrictions are due to take place in the upcoming years with some key competitive products to be completely banned by 2015*
Technology & Products-MPT’s technology develops safe, food grade, natural soil fumigants & fertilizers sourced from mustard seed-MPT’s products can be used to increase yield by up to 80% in organic markets, set backs and buffer zones where competitive products are currently limited – seen in independent 3 rd party studies/demo’s-MPT’s products can be used in conventional farming to increase yield by up to 26% over an above commonly used synthetic soil fumigants – seen in independent 3rd party studies/demo’s
Business-By 2015 MPT projects $27M in revenue and $11M in EBITDA per year, based on a 40 metric ton per day manufacturing facility-MPT’s business model is scalable, which provides potential for significant upside from current projections
Manufacturing -MPT’s manufacturing process is proven and operational -MPT is currently expanding their manufacturing facility

• A technology company using applied science to develop innovative market disruptive products for the global agricultural pesticide industry
• Location in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is ideal, as Saskatchewan is the world’s largest exporter of mustard seed. In 2008, Saskatchewan Agriculture Department Statistics show 161,000 metric tons of mustard were produced in Saskatchewan alone. In 2015, MPT’s sales forecasts call for 15,000 metric tons of mustard seed. This would be equivalent to approximately 9% of Saskatchewan mustard production.
• Products are sold as MPT’s MustGroTM product line• Operates a new 12,000 square foot commercial scale manufacturing facility• Collaborating with several of the worlds leading fruit & vegetable growers• A strong and growing patent portfolio (3 issued patents, 3 pending patents)• Business offers high profit margins and is easily scalable
