About Intirisic4D

Intrinsic4D owns a patented, FDA-cleared software and service platform that translates static, 2D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) data and produces a non-invasive, 360 degree, novel visualization of patient anatomy in 3D.

Intrinsic4D is monetizing the platform through an innovative and compelling service targeted at the medical and legal fields, with an additional opportunity in the cardiovascular market. Intrinsic4D's proprietary technology is protected by four issued patents and eleven pending patent applications. In May 2012, Intrinsic4D received 510(k) regulatory clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration to market its product.

In the medical market, Intrinsic4D believes the platform provides a potential reduction in hospital costs, better understanding of images for patients and medical practitioners and does not require an expert to operate. The technology allows doctors and other medical practitioners to better plan for surgical procedures, while bridging the communication gap that can exist between medical practitioners and patients. On December 23, 2014, Intrinsic4D partnered with U.S. Radiology Partners, Inc., a leading provider of hospital-focused tele-radiology services and patient second opinion radiology services. Intrinsic4D serves the partnership as the 3D laboratory.

In the legal market, the platform creates a new paradigm for case resolution. Launched in January 2014, the platform is intended to meet the needs of the legal market and has generated revenue since its launch. In 2014, the legal platform completed cases across the United States and multiple provinces in Canada with a limited sales and marketing budget.

Separately, Intrinsic4D has developed an innovative, non-invasive approach for improving the diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular disease. Intrinsic4D's computer algorithm based stenosis severity mapping invention utilizes a coronary CT to enable a non-invasive functional assessment of coronary lesions.

On October 10, 2014, Intrinsic4D acquired all of the assets of Legal Artworks LLC, based in Jacksonville, Florida, which provides visual evidence services to the legal field.

To date, Intrinsic4D has raised more than US$8.5 million of equity through a series of private placements.

Founded in 2011, Intrinsic4D is a Delaware limited liability company, with its offices located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Intrinsic4D does not have any subsidiaries and there is currently no public market for the securities of Intrinsic4D. Mosaic Makro Medical Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Mosaic"), owns approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding participating membership units of Intrinsic4D. Mosaic is controlled equally by Jorey Chernett, resident of the State of Michigan, and Daniel Herr, resident of the State of South Dakota. The remaining 40% of Intrinsic4D's participating membership units are owned by officers, managers and employees of Intrinsic4D and strategic investors.

Intrinsic4D Financing

In conjunction with the Transaction, and prior to the closing of the Transaction, Intrinisic4D intends to complete a "best efforts" brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to 9,433,962 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts"), the first tranche of which is expected to close on or about March 11, 2015, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$5,000,000 at a price of C$0.53 per Subscription Receipt. Mackie Research Capital Corporation has been engaged as agent in connection with the Private Placement (the "Agent"). The Agent has the option, exercisable at any time prior to the closing of the Private Placement, to arrange for the purchase of up to an additional 1,415,094 Subscription Receipts on the same terms as the Private Placement. Immediately prior to the Merger, each Subscription Receipt will, without payment of any additional consideration or taking of any action, be converted into one unit of Intrinsic4D (an "Intrinsic4D Unit"), with each Intrinsic4D Unit consisting of one common share of Intrinsic4D (an "Intrinsic4D Share") and one Intrinsic4D Share purchase warrant (an "Intrinsic4D Warrant"). Each Intrinsic4D Unit will, without payment of any additional consideration or taking of any action, subsequently be exchanged for one unit of the Resulting Issuer (a "Resulting Issuer Unit") pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Each Resulting Issuer Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (a "Resulting Issuer Share") and one Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant (a "Resulting Issuer Warrant"). Each Resulting Issuer Warrant will be exercisable at the option of its holder for one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of C$0.66 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Transaction. The expiry date of the Resulting Issuer Warrants may be accelerated by the Resulting Issuer at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, if the volume weighted average trading price of the Resulting Issuer Shares is greater than C$0.80 for any 20 trading days.

The Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Private Placement (the "Agent's Commission"), together with compensation options (the "Agent's Compensation Options") entitling the Agents to subscribe for that number of Resulting Issuer Shares as is equal to 7% of the total number of Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Private Placement. Each Agent's Compensation Option will ultimately be exercisable to purchase one Resulting Issuer Share at the price of C$0.53 for a period of 24 months following the completion of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below). In addition, the Company will pay an advisory fee equal to 4% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Private Placement to Ravenna Technologies Inc., as special advisor to the Company ("Ravenna"), pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement dated July 31, 2014 between the Company and Ravenna (the "Ravenna Agreement"). The proceeds from the Private Placement (less certain expenses of the Agent in connection with the Private Placement) (the "Escrowed Proceeds") will be held in escrow until the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including the confirmation that all conditions precedent to the Transaction, other than the release of the Escrowed Proceeds, have been satisfied (the "Escrow Release Conditions").

The proceeds to be available to the Resulting Issuer upon the closing of the Transaction, expected to be approximately C$4,730,000, are anticipated to principally be used as follows:

Each Agent's Compensation Option will be exchanged (on a post- Consolidation basis) for economically equivalent compensation options of the Resulting Issuer.

Sponsorship of the Transaction is required by the Exchange unless an exemption from this requirement can be obtained in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.
