Vicor Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: VCRT) is a medical diagnostics company focused on commercializing noninvasive diagnostic technology products based on its patented, proprietary point correlation dimension algorithm the PD2i ^® Algorithm and software.

With the second FDA approval under its belt in April, Vicor is fully in the process of transforming itself into a commercial company with a national sales force and international reach.

The Company has all of the regulatory approvals in place already with regards to PD2i ^® to generate substantial revenues.

FDA Approval of PD2i Analyzer™ for BOTH Heart Rate Variability and Cardiovascular Disease Testing

Vicor’s PD2i Analyzer™ has FDA 510(k) marketing clearance to both:

• Measure heart rate variability (HRV) for physician-determined use which can assess autonomic nervous system dysfunction in diabetics.
• And be used specifically in patients undergoing cardiovascular disease testing.

Potential Market PD2i Analyzer™

The potential market for the PD2i Analyzer™ with 77 million potential patients could be in the multi-billions of dollars. This market is supported by the recent FDA approval to market the PD2i Analyzer™ for cardiovascular disease testing is anticipated to spur market acceptance of the PD2i Analyzer™ as a valuable new diagnostic.

The groundbreaking 510(k) obtained in April of 2011, for the use of the PD2i^® metric includes the classical Ewing maneuvers with the PD2i^® metric in patients undergoing cardiovascular disease testing.

This FDA Approval is an accomplishment of incredible significance for VCRT as both national and international acceptance begin to accelerate. This landmark approval has been sought since the first introduction of the PD2i ^® technology by Vicor in 2003.

These populations are significant:

• 23.6 million diabetics
• 15 million at-risk cardiac patients
• 38 million trauma incidents

PD2i ^® Analyzer Provides Additional Revenue Source for Physicians and Improves Patient Care

Physicians can now expect a higher return on investment with the April 2011 FDA 501(k) for cardiovascular disease testing.

Vicor is now able to broaden its marketing message and could significantly increase interest in the Analyzer particularly with cardiologists. Physicians are able to use the Analyzer for indications believed to be useful. FDA clearance of specific indications allows Vicor to explicitly market for those indications.

Current procedural terminology (CPT) codes enable physicians using the PD2i^® Analyzer to be reimbursed by insurance carriers, creating a recurring source of revenue from test analysis for Vicor.

The PD2i^® Analyzer is used as a diagnostic for heart rate variability, which is a widely-accepted measure of autonomic nervous system health and by extension cardiac health.

The PD2i ^® Algorithm facilitates the ability of physicians to accurately risk stratify a specific target population to predict future pathological events such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction, cardiac mortality (either from arrhythmic death or congestive heart failure) and imminent death from trauma.

PD2i ^® Algorithm New and Accurate Vital Sign

The Company believes that the PD2i ^® Algorithm represents a noninvasive monitoring technology that physicians and other members of the medical community can use as a new and accurate vital sign.

Two proprietary diagnostic medical products are being commercialized which employ software utilizing the PD2i ^® Algorithm:

• First – the PD2i^® Analyzer
• Second - the PD2i Cardiac Analyzer ™
• The PD2i VS ™ Vital Sign Monitor for trauma, triage, and other hospital uses in still  under development.

FDA Clearance

In April 2011 the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its PD2i^® nonlinear algorithm and software to be used as a measure of heart rate variability at rest and in response to controlled exercise and paced respiration (Ewing Maneuvers) in patients specifically undergoing cardiovascular disease testing.

Physician use of the PD2i^® Analyzer is supported by an expanding body of literature demonstrating the value of the PD2i^® nonlinear algorithm as a metric for risk stratifying specific target populations for future pathological events.

Physician Use Includes :

• Diabetics for the presence of diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN),
• Cardiovascular disease patients for death resulting from arrhythmia or congestive heart failure, and
• Trauma victims for imminent death absent immediate lifesaving intervention.

Sales

The Company has engaged various independent sales agents and sales representatives to market and sell its products in selected geographic areas in the United States.

Revenues will be predominately the result of equipment sales, fees from physicians and other health-care providers related to the analysis of test results and licensing fees.

Revenue Sources

A national sales manager with a long and successful history in medical device sales has been retained. The sales force has expanded geographically. Vicor expects to continue to increase the size of its domestic sales force throughout 2011, to approximately 70 Sales Representatives by the end of 2011

Equipment sales: Sales to physicians and other health care providers through both sales representatives employed by the Company and also independent sales agents.

Leasing option: Agreement with equipment leasing company signed in early 2011 allows physicians to obtain the Analyzer without the upfront cost.

International Distribution: An agreement with a distributor for Asia and Israel has been reached. Vicor currently is negotiating contracts for distribution in Middle East and Europe.

Current procedural terminology: (CPT) codes enable physicians using the PD2i^® Analyzer to measure HRV to be reimbursed by insurance carriers, creating a recurring source of revenue from test analysis for Vicor.

Direct Marketing to Cardiologists

FDA approval enables Vicor to market the PD2i^® Analyzer directly to cardiologists as a diagnostic specifically targeted for use in cardiovascular disease testing.

VCRT is focused on spurring market acceptance of the PD2i^® Analyzer as a valuable new diagnostic for cardiovascular disease testing.

Including the Ewing Maneuvers which are performed during PD2i Analyzer™ ECG data collection.

This recognition represents the PD2i^® Analyzer as a meaningful metric for cardiovascular testing and validation of, from a regulatory perspective, our use of the Internet for the delivery of test data and analyses.

While cardiologists are already among users of the PD2i^® Analyzer as a diagnostic for heart rate variability, which is a widely-accepted measure of autonomic nervous system health and by extension cardiac health, the Company anticipates this new clearance will contribute positively to the cardiologist-directed marketing efforts of the PD2i^® Analyzer.

Plan of Operations

1. Increasing sales of the PD2i^® Analyzer to physicians and health care facilities in the United States through the use of independent sales agents and direct sales personnel.

2. Raising additional capital with which to expand the sales and administrative infrastructure and fund ongoing operations until our operations generate positive cash flow.

3. Completing various clinical trials and 510(k) submissions to secure additional marketing claims for the PD2i^® Analyzer to enhance and accelerate marketing efforts.

4. Initiating international sales of the PD2i^® Analyzer and PD2i-VS^® (Vital Sign), including securing CE Mark Clearance.

Diagnostics that enable inexpensive, accurate, and early identification of disease states in at-risk populations prior to costly treatments for advanced disease or resulting from inaccurate identification are garnering increased attention in the current health care reform environment.

Conference Exposure

Exposure through presentations at prestigious events and publication in prominent journals is one of the most influential forms of marketing and Vicor has extensive participation conference plans for 2011.

This direct exposure to physicians and the medical community represents a potential catalyst for sales and growth.

The Company has attended recent conferences including:

• The American Heart Association in November of 2010
• The American College of Cardiology in April of 2011.  One of Vicor’s congestive heart failure studies was presented by the researcher.
• Vicor was just in attendance at the Heart Rhythes Society Conference in May
• Vicor’s Chief Medical Officer is due to make a presentation to the Israeli Trauma Society meeting this summer.

Clinical Studies

Clinical studies completed or initiated have been conclusive concerning the ability of the PD2i ^® metric to be predictive of future pathological events.

This is of great significance to the medical community in terms of enabling physicians to easily risk stratify their patients as well as use these results to better manage their care.

The body of literature documenting the PD2i(R) nonlinear algorithm as a metric for risk stratifying specific target populations for future pathological events is constantly expanding.

Over 60 published manuscripts exist regarding the use of the PD2i^® by physicians and scientists around the world in a multitude of disease states and modalities exist . Many of the researchers are well published and respected internationally.

These independent studies, which are not for FDA-approved indications, include the use of Vicor’s PD2i^® nonlinear algorithm to:

• Predict seizure
• Monitor transplant rejection
• Analyze ventricular fibrillation
• Identify depression
• Determine risk in Sleep apnea
• Autoimmune system imbalance detection
• See the increased neural complexity in schizophrenic patients
• Determine the impact of ECT therapy on depression
• Monitor the effect of estrogen and testosterone on convergent and divergent thinking
• Locate seizure focus for epileptic surgery.

These independent studies attest that Vicor’s PD2i^® nonlinear algorithm has successfully demonstrated the ability to accurately measure heart rate variability to predict and identify a variety of medical conditions and disorders.

The range of human conditions and disorders that can be identified early in their arc and thereby provide physicians with the ability to enhance patient treatment and outcomes.

Continuing clinical studies are ongoing in a variety of areas — chief among these, sudden cardiac death and head trauma in athletes — to establish the PD2i^® Analyzer as a widely used diagnostic in the clinical setting.

Many debt servicers are currently overwhelmed with imposed programs that require more resources–such as people, money, and time–than are necessary to be effective. The driving force behind a typical distressed asset is often not a single factor, but rather several contributing factors. When a loan is underperforming, it may be due to other outside influences of financial stress, such as a high unsecured debt load held by the consumer. Halo Portfolio Advisors’ operational support services allow endless opportunities for strategic B2B relationships with major debt servicers.

Hedge funds and other entities have recently purchased huge lots of mortgage portfolios. Halo is ready to step up to the plate and address the fundamental issues to service these mortgages.

Halo Benefits, Inc. sells Halo’s services as a bundled package through business relationships and strategic partnerships.

Halo facilitates the acquisition of additional companies and provides capital and expertise to increase the volume and profitability of each subsidiary.

Halo Companies’ Business Model

The Company’s stunning rise has eclipsed the more traditional one prong financial solution companies by creating The Financial Service Company of the Future. This unprecedented business model – of a one stop shop for financial services — has come of age – providing the ultimate business model in a time of countless job losses, home losses, the decimation of retirement accounts and untold family upheavals.

Halo has married the brightest minds in technology with those of finance in a collaboration which has produced a company setting a new standard in the industry.

Halo’s positive financial implications of Halo’s one step at a time, custom tailored financial solutions which delivers dynamic business results for clients in a multitude of fiscal areas creates lasting shareholder value. Halo Companies provides the middleclass a chance, an opportunity to regain their life and their lifeline while building a dynamic company with subsidiaries capable of enhancing mutual growth.

Financial Difficulties Multi-lateral and Complex for Clients

The industry as a whole typically does a poor job of addressing the total debt load of a borrower. Most models used to qualify a borrower for a loan modification use crude estimates of the borrower’s debt load. Buying behavior and future suitability and accountability are not fully developed or tracked. The servicer is solely focused on the overwhelming number of defaults before it, and concentrates only on the loan it services.

Halo Companies addresses the fact that financial difficulties are not singular. Most clients will have several issues which are interrelated.

In historic American fashion and proportion – out of the chaos, in the truest capitalistic fashion – a solution is born in a time of the most devastating recession since the Great Depression.

Halo Companies, Inc. recognized the difficulties and provided a solution. The middle class is in free fall and there is no one coming to their rescue.

• One in seven households with mortgages was either in foreclosure or delinquent on payments at the end of September 2009, according to the most recent data available from the Mortgage Bankers Association
• Some owners are defaulting because they have lost their jobs. Some are giving up their homes because the value has fallen below what they owe
• Prices have fallen 29% from their July 2006 peak to October 2009, based on the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which tracks home values in 20 cities
• Nearly one in four mortgage holders owe more than their homes are worth, according to First American CoreLogic
• Potential buyers of new homes are trapped in homes they are unable to sell
• Nearly 6.2% of mortgages in Arizona, 9.4% of mortgages in Nevada, 5.8% in California were in foreclosure according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. 37,000 Connecticut mortgages or one in every 14, were in foreclosure or 90 days past due, with unemployment at 8.2 percent
• National rates indicate one in 11 mortgages in foreclosure or 90 days late
• National jobless rate stands firmly at 10 percent
• Clients have ongoing debts accumulating after losing their jobs

Halo’s approach indicates a full understanding of the fundamental reality of distressed middle America. Many have reduced incomes, homes worth more than what is owed and overwhelming credit card debt.

Obtain the Best People

The perfect marriage of financial experience and in-depth understanding of the all encompassing lapse of our financial system has produced Halo Companies. Halo does more than understand; it translates complex financial issues with their knowledge and technology into customized solutions for their clients’ specific needs.

Scalable technology has served to provide a one stop shop solution for a target demographic of middle-class Americans who have been the victims of this country’s financial chaos.

Halo understands the effect hiring the right employees, surrounding them with great managers, and engaging them in their work.

Halo Companies’ Subsidiaries

Halo Debt Solutions, Inc.
www.halodebt.com

Opportunity: The latest statistics from the Federal Reserve indicate that the total amount of consumer debt outstanding in the United States stands at roughly $2.5 trillion dollars. Based on the latest Census statistics, that works out to be nearly $8,100 in debt for every man, woman and child in America.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Halo Debt Solutions, Inc. (“Halo Debt”) is an industry leader in debt settlement services, negotiating and settling various types of unsecured debts, saving clients thousands of dollars.

Results: Halo Debt revenue has significantly increased over the past year top line revenues of $2.02MM for the three months ended September 30, 2009, Halo Debt reported $2.37MM for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and $2.15MM for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to top line revenues of $1.04MM for the three months ended September 30, 2008, $863K for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $654k for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Competitive Advantage: Within Halo Debt, a team of industry experts has built and continually maintains a cooperative relationship with creditors to provide the best possible results for each client’s debt situation. To avoid ineffective and costly efforts of an outside collection company, creditors work cooperatively with companies like Halo Debt to reduce a client’s debt balances.

Model: The primary goal is to help clients achieve a debt-free lifestyle. Halo Debt’s programs are developed with affordable payment plans, based upon the client’s personal financial situation. The majority of the payment plans are designed to eliminate each client’s debt in 12 to 48 months. The average negotiated settlement offer is $0.43 (forty-three) cents on the dollar.

Halo Group Mortgage, LLC
www.halogm.com

Opportunity: Over the last year, the world has watched the American mortgage industry teeter on the brink of collapse. Thousands of mortgage company employees have lost their jobs while hundreds of thousands of Americans have lost their homes due to the millions of non-performing loans that were originated in past years.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Halo Group Mortgage, LLC (“Halo Group Mortgage”) has not only survived this crisis, but continues to thrive in a down market due to its conservative lending appetite and commitment to high quality loans. Now more than ever, there is an opportunity to rise up as a major player in the mortgage markets.

Results: Halo Group Mortgage recognizes the impact that home ownership has in strengthening both families and communities, while providing fuel for economic growth for our country. By providing the best loan products for its customers, Halo Group Mortgage hopes to increase the opportunities for home ownership within local communities and across the nation.

Competitive Advantage: Halo Group Mortgage has the resources to assist consumers in achieving their financing goals, unlike any other mortgage broker in the marketplace.

Model: Halo Group Mortgage is a full service, Texas-based, mortgage brokerage institution in the retail lending environment, serving strategic U.S. markets for “A” paper residential mortgage loans. Currently licensed in four states, Halo Group Mortgage specializes in partnering America’s top banks with both current and potential homeowners for the closing of real estate mortgage transactions. Halo Group Mortgage can earn up to 5% of the loan amount for providing this service.

Halo Group Realty, LLC
www.halogr.com

Opportunity: The addition of Halo Group Realty, LLC (“Halo Group Realty”) will further Halo’s mission to provide a one-stop-shop of financial services and will allow for the opportunity to maximize profitability through increased synergy between our subsidiaries.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Halo estimates that over two-thirds of the customers in the credit repair process are motivated to purchase a new home. Many debt settlement customers are also motivated to own a home in the near future. In addition, many of our mortgage clients begin their process with a pre-approval before choosing a home. Halo Group Realty is a logical progression for a Halo client, regardless of the client’s starting point.

Results: Halo Group Realty will capitalize on the internal lead development of the other Halo entities and as a byproduct will materialize the final step in the home ownership process. This will add additional revenue and increase brand awareness by having Halo signage in yards across the country.

Competitive Advantage: Halo Group Realty has the ability to serve a larger segment of potential homebuyers by leveraging the tools offered by Halo. In contrast, a competing realtor will narrowly focus on the homebuyer who will make an immediate purchase decision. Halo Group Realty will therefore have contact with its customers for a longer amount of time, will generate a larger pipeline of business for its realtors, and ultimately provide more tangible benefits to our customers than are available from Halo’s competitors.

Model: Halo Group Realty’s listings will be charged at 6%. When serving buyers, Halo Group Realty will generate revenue from 3% commissions and any bonuses available for the sale. In addition, Halo Group Realty will earn commissions from referrals to apartment complexes, and build a pipeline of business for Halo Credit and Halo Group Mortgage.

Halo Credit Solutions, LLC
www.halocredit.com

Opportunity: The U.S. Public Interest Research Companies (PIRG) has established that 79% of all credit reports in the U.S. contain errors that affect the credit score, 30% listed closed accounts as still open, and 25% contain errors serious enough to prevent the consumer from obtaining a loan.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Halo Credit Solutions, LLC (“Halo Credit”) disputes inaccuracies and errors on behalf of a consumer, over a six-month time frame or less. The consumer exits the program with a guaranteed accurate credit report as verified by the credit reporting agencies.

Results: Halo Credit has found that by correcting inaccurate information, the average customer’s FICO score increases by 56 points. A graduate of Halo Credit is more likely to be approved for financing, qualify for better interest rates, and be deemed “credit worthy.”

Competitive Advantage: Halo Credit uses proprietary credit repair management software to effectively manage thousands of credit disputes. A single credit processor can accurately maintain the dispute process for hundreds of clients at a time. In comparison, a processor could previously manage only a handful of customer disputes per month. As a result, each dispute is handled in the same manner time after time, assuring quality results. And due to the time savings, each customer receives personal attention on his or her account from a trained Halo Credit consultant.

Model: The cost of credit restoration is $199. Credit repair is both an integral part of the overall financial solutions that Halo Credit provides and a critical lead generating product utilized to capture increased national exposure for all the other subsidiaries. With its efficiency, Halo Credit maintains a healthy profit margin on each new client. Fixed costs are covered with a minimal amount of new customers per month. Due to Halo Credit’s efficiency, as customer acquisitions increase the variable costs of scaling up decrease on a percentage basis.

WeCare:
WeCare partners with homebuilders in order to increase the credit worthiness of potential homebuyers through Halo’s services. When a potential homebuyer cannot qualify for a home loan, the client is referred to Halo to settle outstanding debt or restore credit. At the end of Halo’s work, the potential homebuyer is then referred back to the homebuilder through Halo Group Mortgage.

Halo Benefits, Inc.

Opportunity: As of mid-2007, each Halo subsidiary exclusively used direct-to-consumer marketing channels, but was lacking in any type of business-to-business channel. Additionally, each subsidiary individually managed its own consumer marketing efforts with no centralized strategy.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Halo Benefits, Inc. (“Halo Benefits”) evolved to manage business relationships and strategic partnerships that positively affect all of the companies under the Halo umbrella. Several key business-to-business marketing concepts and a centralized consumer-based call center were established to facilitate the marketing needs of each subsidiary.

Results: Halo Benefits has implemented two programs that have the opportunity to quickly grow the customer base for each company within the Halo family. These efforts are WeCare and HaloCare.

Model: Halo Benefits has created business partnership opportunities such as the following:

WeCare:
www.wecareonline.org

WeCare partners with homebuilders in order to increase the credit worthiness of potential homebuyers through Halo’s services. When a potential homebuyer cannot qualify for a home loan, the client is referred to Halo to settle outstanding debt or restore credit. At the end of Halo’s work, the potential homebuyer is then referred back to the homebuilder through Halo Group Mortgage or Halo Group Realty.

HaloCare:

HaloCare offers financial solutions through Benefit Groups, Employee Assistance Programs and insurance programs on a per-member per-month (PMPM) basis. The association or group pays Halo a fee for their members to have access to Halo’s financial solutions, creating an additional source of revenue. In return, Halo’s services are offered to group members at a slightly reduced cost.

Halo Loan Modification Services, LLC
www.haloloanmod.com

Opportunity: The latest statistics from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation indicate that 6.4 million loans are currently past due or are projected to become delinquent by mid-2010. Recidivism rates are reaching all-time highs at close to 50% for most servicers across the nation which, coupled with overwhelming consumer response, are leaving servicers unable to respond in a timely and efficient manner.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Halo Loan Modification Services, LLC has created an innovative and holistic approach to mortgage default resolution that is unparalleled in the industry.

Results: This unique strategy will put borrowers into a systematic and streamlined work-out process establishing affordable, long-term mortgages while achieving an improved return for bankers and investors compared to foreclosure. This type of approach can help stabilize the U.S. financial markets by minimizing foreclosures.

Competitive Advantage: To truly improve and resolve the re-default rates of the consumer due to poor financial decisions and obligations, Halo has developed an ongoing strategy to assist the consumer with unsecured debt burden, credit challenges, and general financial education. This multi-tiered approach will further improve the future performance of the modified loan and provide a fundamental shift in the methods and models previously used and that perpetuated the ever growing mortgage meltdown.

Model: Halo’s loan modification approach adopts the streamlined effectiveness of government sponsored loan modification programs and provides both the borrower and investor complete transparency into the decision making process. The result is consistent and predictable improvement to investors, reduced costs to both servicers and borrowers, and a thoroughly integrated approach to restoring financial integrity.

Halo Choice Insurance Services, LLC
www.halochoice.com

Opportunity: Halo’s extensive client database is expanding every day. As the number of financially-distressed individuals seeking Halo’s assistance increases, so does Halo’s warm market. The ability to offer a highly-utilized product such as Property and Casualty insurance at a cost savings will translate into a better financial position for Halo’s clients and produce another steady revenue stream for Halo.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Many of the clients presently utilizing Halo’s Debt Settlement, Credit Repair, Loan Modification, Mortgage and Real Estate companies may be currently overpaying for insurance services. Halo offers its clients competitively-priced insurance products that will save them money by providing a cost savings on monthly insurance premiums already allocated in their monthly budgets. This reduction in premium expense will free up cash flow for financially distressed clients, allowing them to settle their outstanding debt obligations much faster or accumulate and save additional funds for greater long term financial security.

Results: Halo will give clients a better all-around financial position through which to navigate these uncertain economic times. Halo’s current expectation is to attract and engage clients currently utilizing other Halo products, to use Halo’s insurance products – not just at the point of sale – but as ongoing conversions throughout Halo’s various product lifecycles.

Competitive Advantage: By adding a broad spectrum of insurance products to its current product offerings, Halo can now position itself before tens of thousands of clients – clients who are already enrolled in products and services offered by other Halo subsidiaries – and who would welcome a value-added product offering from the company they already know and trust.

Model: Halo Select Insurance Services, LLC is a partner in Halo Choice Insurance Services, LLC, which is currently licensed in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Mississippi and represents the lines of hundreds of insurance companies, including Safeco, Travelers, CNA, Progressive, and The Hartford. Halo is therefore not limited to the product and service offerings of a single insurance underwriter, allowing Halo the ability to identify the lowest cost alternative for clients. Specifically, Halo offers Auto, Home, Life, Health and various other insurance products to meet the needs of its clients.

Halo Finanancial Services, LLC

Opportunity: A traditional debt relief program is increasingly limited in the number of states in which it can operate. Halo Financial Services has developed a model that will allow it to operate in 47 states. That is 26 more states in which Halo can now offer debt relief services to consumers. Additionally, a wide gap exists in the marketplace for a debt relief company that provides education and in-depth analysis specific to the consumer’s profile before recommending a solution for that consumer.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: Few if any debt relief companies have the resources to perform the analysis Halo Financial Services offers. The company provides education & analysis based on a proprietary algorithm that takes into account multiple factors within a consumer’s financial portfolio and history and then weighs them according to their significance to the consumer’s specific situation. Factors include consumer risk tolerance, discretionary income, propensity to repay, debt load, type of debt, state, and region.

Results: Providing services tailored to each consumer increases client satisfaction and therefore increases client retention. Because the consumer is recommended for enrollment based on the unique analysis, the overall rate of program success continues to increase. Clients that do not qualify for the programs provided directly by Halo can still be monetized by Halo through relationships with bankruptcy networks and debt management and credit counseling companies.

Competitive Advantage: Halo’s unique ability to provide multiple solutions under one roof offers more value to the consumer. In addition, Halo’s technology allows the company to manage a higher volume of consumers with an increased efficiency of resources that incorporates the predictability of results.

Model: The primary goal is to help consumers find the right program for their financial profile allowing for the highest degree of success. Halo Financial Services is designed with a minimal upfront fee, very small monthly service charge, and a success fee only after the accounts have been settled and satisfied.

Halo Portfolio Advisors, LLC

Opportunity: In today’s economy, lenders are experiencing an overflow of distressed assets. Many debt servicers are currently overwhelmed with imposed programs that require more resources–such as people, money, and time–than are necessary to be effective.

Capitalizing on the Opportunity: The driving force behind a typical distressed asset is often not a single factor, but rather several contributing factors. When a loan is underperforming, it may be due to other outside influences of financial stress, such as a high unsecured debt load held by the consumer. Halo Portfolio Advisors’ operational support services allow endless opportunities for strategic B2B relationships with major debt servicers.

Results: Halo Portfolio Advisors’ servicing capacity allows for the management of a diverse portfolio of loans. Halo’s technology systems are bundled with transparency, accountability, efficiency, speed, and flexibility. This unique strategy deposits borrowers into an intelligent, results-driven process that establishes affordable, long-term mortgages while also achieving an improved return for lenders and investors, when compared to foreclosure.

Competitive Advantage: Halo’s approach can help stabilize the U.S. financial markets by minimizing foreclosures on the 6.4 million loans that are currently past due or are projected to become delinquent by mid-2010. Halo’s technology can provide deeper insight into the complete financial picture of a borrower – an insight that is unprecedented in the industry today.

Model: Halo Portfolio Advisors leverages the complete Halo business-to-consumer suite of services to market turnkey solutions to lenders.

The Solterra Mission

Solar power is The Solterra Mission

Their mission is to become the leading producer of third generation photovoltaic cells (solar cells) through the use of Quantum Dots.

By introducing their thin film quantum dot solar cells, they plan to establish a disruptive technology that will help accelerate the conversion from a fossil fuel dependent energy infrastructure to one based on renewable and carbon-neutral energy sources. The products of Solterra Renewable Technologies will be part of the solution to energy independence, greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.

The Solterra Vision

At Solterra Renewable Technologies, their technology will make it possible to deliver grid-parity solar electricity. By setting the standard for solar technology with distinctly superior cost and capital efficiency, they strive to be the world’s largest solar energy technology company.

The Solterra Goal

Their goal at Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. is to uses our robust IP portfolio in third generation photovoltaic materials and solar cell processing technology to produce the lowest priced solar power available today.

Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. will produce high volume hybrid solar cells using revolutionary low cost Quantum Dot synthesis technology and a proprietary conjugated polymer technology that delivers unmatched efficiency and production economy.

Solterra’s process does NOT require costly silicon or slow, cumbersome vacuum processing or sputtering methods, thereby creating a new paradigm in the industry.

The Market

Solar power is already in an explosive growth mode, but here Solterra we are singularly positioned to lead the development of truly cost- effecicient and sustainable solar technology as the first company to introduce a new dimension of cost reduction by replacing silicon wafer based solar modules with a low cost Quantum Dot based solar cell module.

Solterra’s process does NOT require costly silicon rare earth minerals or slow, cumbersome vacuum processing or sputtering methods, thereby creating a new paradigm in the industry. Furthermore Solterra can produce its own high quality tetrapod quantum dots using a revolutionary patent pending process that results in cost savings up to 95% over the traditional quantum dot manufacturing process.

Low Cost Solar Cells

Using proprietary technology, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. will utilize our robust IP portfolio in third generation photovoltaic materials and solar cell processing technology to produ ce the lowest priced solar power available today.

Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. will produce high volume hybrid solar cells using revolutionary low cost Quantum Dot synthesis technology and a proprietary conjugated polymer technology that can and will deliver unmatched efficiency and production economy.

Technology Breakthrough: Low Cost, High Effiency Cells

Quantum dots are “mega-molecules” of semiconducting materials that are smaller than living cells. Q.D.’s interact with light in unique ways to give off different-colored light or to create electrons and holes, due partly to their tiny size, partly to their shape and partly to the material from which they are made. Using proprietary technologies, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. will manufacture very low cost solar cells utilizing Q.D. Technology…(less than half the price of competition). Proprietary Q.D.’s are a primary ingredient in Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc.’s solar cells. “Our work knocks down a big barrier in developing quantum dot-based photovoltaics as an alternative to the conventional, more expensive, silicon-based solar cells,” said co-author and principal investigator Michael Wong, Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University. Dr. Wong explained that the way towards cheaper more efficient solar cells is to manufacture them using Quantum Dots.

Quantum Dot technology is by far the most efficient method of producing solar electricity but until recently the high cost of producing Q.D.’s made their use in Solar Panels prohibitive. Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. has changed that with a new proprietary Quantum Dot production technology. This new technology reduced the cost of Q.D. production by more than 90%. This new Q.D. production technique, developed by Dr. Wong of Rice University has been acquired by Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc.

By applying this proprietary low cost production technology to the manufacture of Q.D.’s and applying it to Solar Energy Cells, the cost of solar generated electricity is reduced to little more than grid price at today’s electricity price. Grid prices are expected to increase by more than 50% over the next five years. Based on the above: in five years, solar energy using the Solterra Quantum Dot Technology will be approximately half the cost of grid pricing…

Sunny Economic Forecast

The solar energy industry, which encompasses technology, research, manufacturing, training, and installation, has a direct impact on many facets of U.S. commerce. Since the 1970s, when the solar energy market was virtually nonexistent, the business of solar energy has seen 100-fold price decreases, which has led to the production of millions of watts per year and created a national market worth about $2 billion. The current U.S. solar industry employs some 20,000 men and women in high-value, high-tech jobs, representing about 300 companies, universities, and utilities (estimates based on Directory of the U.S. Photovoltaics Industry. 1996. Washington, DC: Solar Energy Industries Association [SEIA]). And by 2020, the industry is expected to grow toward a workforce of 150,000 (“Energy Alternatives and Jobs.” 2000. Renewable Energy World, 3(6):November/December, pp. 26-32). Jobs associated with the solar energy industry are in engineering, science, management, architecture, construction, planning, education, sales, skilled labor, finance, and design.

The solar industry continues to grow steadily as costs for solar systems decline in the expanding markets for renewable energy. Since the late 1990s, the market for solar energy has grown at an annual rate of 20%. The solar industry estimates that growth rates above 25% annually are possible, resulting in a $27 billion market by 2020. With technological innovations lowering costs and increased market growth leading to new jobs and export opportunities, solar energy can become a major high-tech growth industry that contributes significantly to our economic growth and improves our trade balance.

Solterra Product Innovations

Solterra will be producing and distributing a Thin Film Quantum Dot PV Solar Cell, which is differentiated from other traditional PV cells by a unique technology that can result in lower cost, higher efficiency, and broader spectral performance.

Solterra’s Quantum Dot Solar Cell can achieve a dramatically lower manufacturing cost per watt in part, because we can manufacture our own quantum dots using a patent pending, revolutionary process that results in the production of extremely desirable, high quality tetrapod quantum dots at a cost savings in excess of 95%. To our knowledge Solterra is the only solar cell manufacture to date that does not rely on outside suppliers for its primary ingredients. Their third generation quantum dot solar cells do not require custom made, expensive ,nor complex, processing equipment, and we do not use costly silicon or rare earth elements such as indium. Solterra instead will rely on low-cost screen printing and/or inkjet techniques applied to inexpensive substrates. Quantum Dot Solar Cells have extremely high potential efficiency, having demonstrated the production of multiple excitons from a single electron. This phenomonon is the key to exponential increases in conversion efficiency. Quantum dot solar cells also have the ability to harvest light energy in the infrared and ultraviolet spectra leading to better low light collection efficiency and the potential to continue harvesting energy even when little or no visible light is present.

Solterra’s Solar cells will come to market competitively priced with the opportunity to reduce prices even further as economies of scale come into effect. Additionally they believe their quantum dot manufacturing capability and print based cell manufacturing process will enable the rapid deployment of additional manufacturing sites across the globe.

The Solterra Advantage

Solterra will be producing and distributing a Thin Film Quantum Dot PV Solar Cell which is differentiated from other PV cells by a unique technology that results in lower cost, higher efficiency, and broader spectral performance. Solterra’s Quantum Dot Solar Cell achieves a dramatically lower manufacturing cost per watt because no vacuum equipment is required, no expensive silicon is required and low-cost screen printing and/or inkjet techniques are used on inexpensive substrates. Secondly, the Solterra Thin Film Quantum Dot Solar Cell has the potential to generate multiple excitons from each proton providing the potential for exponential improvements in conversion efficiency. Third, Solterra’s PV cell is not only more efficient in the early morning and late afternoon compared to crystalline silicon PV cells, but it also has the potential to harvest light energy in the infrared and ultraviolet spectra.

Solterra’s Solar cells will be competitively priced with the potential to reduce prices even further as economies of scale come into affect.  Two charts on below show the advantage in dollars and cents… and good sense!
