Microcap & Penny Stocks : KOLR - KOLORFUSION INTERNATIONAL HUGE POTENTIAL -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

KOLR Revenue sources. Three main sources are (in the order they happen):

1. Processing of small order-runs in our regional processing centers (Denver, Los Angeles, seeking other candidates now - give us ideas).

2. Sale of licenses to use the process to companies that have products to color - this is worthwhile for them above a certain volume. The licensee buys a machine from us or from an approved builder or builds it himself (not very complicated to build). Licensee can be in full-scale volume production for less than US$ 500'000.

3. Sale of consumables - that is the special transfer medium that gets the color onto the objects being processed. Consumables are supplied by Kolorfusion to licensees - this is a "razor-blade" business.

As regards projects that could turn into long-term agreements - we are aiming to have one producer of almost every existing consumer object at least fully sampled by the end of this year - help us find manufacturers who could send us products for sampling.
Some users may ask us for a lead-period to compensate them for having contacted us first before their competitors do.
To know what sort of objects can be 3D colored with Kolorfusion's process, just look around you and note every object that could be carried by two people or less - not that bigger objects can't be done but they need a larger machine than the ones built so far. We'll shortly be doing the first auto-body parts in a leopard and zebra pattern. My personal objective for 1999 is a Louis Vuitton Range Rover. Smaller objects go from buttons to luggage to lamps to scuba-tanks to fenders to mountain-bikes to furniture. Most consumer objects are made in production-runs of several thousands. Kolorfusion enables manufacturers to:

1. Create a "designer" line for mundane products.
2. Extend product life-cycle with new patterns.
3. Create entirely new looks and products. Fashionize.
4. Co-ordinate lines to insure consumer sequential loyalty (for example bathroom accessory lines all in the same patterns with hygiene products and tooth-brushes and toilet-seats).
5. Bundle products that would not normally be sold together (for example jeans and motorbike bags in the same pattern - gasp !). Or mobile-phones and attach‚-cases.
6. Add a feature such as camouflage on aluminum in a technically more satisfactory process.

Once you've made your list and multiplied by your estimated production quantity for say just one manufacturer, and without giving any indication on pricing, just multiply the number of objects by say a symbolic dollar. Let us know your estimate per market. Of course since Kolorfusion makes its main revenues from the transfer-medium, bigger objects such as mountain-bike frames will earn more than tooth-brushes - but the world may just consume more tooth-brushes than mountain-bikes.

Don't forget this is a company where you can all make a difference by telling us of opportunities in your own communities.

Kolorfusion's strategic positioning is exactly what I always look for - to use the latest net-speak it is...

1. a "PORTAL" or unified design platform to combine previously uncombined product or brand groups.

2. a "CHOKE-POINT" because as soon as one manufacturer has 3D color-patterns, the others will need it - and to our knowledge - we've travelled the world trying to find it - there is no equivalent process.

Hope this answers your question Cadson ?
