TZ is the market leader in intelligent fastening and smart materials actuation control: the integration of intelligence and software control into everyday objects to enable new levels of functionality. The Company has created this novel market by adding intelligence, networking, programmability, and electronic security functions to fasteners in ways not previously considered. TZ has only recently received initial purchase orders from its first customers in what should be a large and high growth marketplace. TZ offers investors an early entry to an exciting growth market via a pure-play market leader with perhaps a 3-4 year lead over any direct competition. It has developed, and is commercializing, a novel concept, intelligent fasteners, which seek to replace conventional screws, nuts and bolts in a growing number of applications. Intelligent fasteners are integrated with electronics and software so as to be controlled remotely. Further, sensing capability and network attachment provide for information to stream from the fastener to a central control and storage location. Intelligent fasteners introduce increased functionality — easy installation and use, cost reduction, energy and weight savings, and record and gate-keeping capabilities — to the sector. These characteristics have generated further significant interest in their security and cosmetic design capabilities. We estimate revenues reaching $43 million and $103 million in 2009 and 2010 respective, with 2010 EPS estimated at $.50. TZ is planning a Nasdaq listing in 2008.
