NNRF, Inc, a U.S. corporation with executive and operations office
located in Moscow and Berlin, is a technical solutions company focused
on environmental markets in the Former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and
Asia.
NNRF has the capability to provide product, technological and
engineering support addressing environmental, power quality and
radioactive waste challenges. These solutions address compliance,
shielding, transport and storage requirements, plant equipment
protection, energy efficiency and remediation techniques for diverse
radioactive and toxic wastes. The company possesses extensive in-house
expertise in all aspects of radiological protection and radiological
waste management.
To accomplish its mission
NNRF's business strategy has been to:
-
Acquire companies and develop technologies & services in the nuclear
waste management, handling, safety and power quality business
-
Establish key alliances with government agencies responsible for the
nuclear waste remediation and power quality products industries
-
·Enter into strategic relationships with companies, state-owned and
foreign, which supply products and services for these market sectors
NUCON has commenced an acquisition program to acquire Russian companies
that are highly specialized manufacturers of materials for Russian and
foreign nuclear markets. These include companies who desire to continue
and improve their sales to Russian Federation and foreign nuclear
facilities or to be able to enter this market.
The plan of NUCON is to establish strategic alliances with the Russian
Federation agencies responsible for both domestic (ROSENERGOATOM) and
foreign (ATOMSTROYEXPORT) markets and to acquire manufacturing
facilities with engineering and research capabilities together with
application specific technologies which establish an integrated platform
of products and services for the entire nuclear cycle.
NNRF believes it has established this platform with the ZAO EMBP ATOLL
acquisition and may complete additional acquisitions in 2007.
NNRFand ZAO ELECTRO MACHINERY BUILDING PLANT ATOLL (ZAO "EMBP" Atoll)
have agreed on December 3, 2005 that
NNRF will acquire 50% of the stock
of ZAO ATOLL. ATOLL is a private Joint Stock Company under Russian law.
The company manufactures and supplies spare parts for existing nuclear
power plants, products for the modernization of nuclear power plants and
equipment for facilities currently under construction.
NNRF will pay $4,290,000 and approximately 2,000,000 shares of
NNRF
common restricted stock for the acquisition of ATOLL. This agreement has
been modified into two closings: The first closing commenced the week of
July 31, 2006, in which
NNRF will acquire 13.25% of ZAO
ATOLL; the second will occur during the first quarter of 2007 in which
NNRF will acquire the additional shares. The original agreement was
modified to conform to Russian tax and currency laws.
ATOLL is located in the city of St. Petersburg. The administrative,
design bureau, manufacturing, testing, packing and shipping facilities
are situated on a former closed military entity. The buildings are
located on approximately 1.5 hectares of property. The shareholders of
ATOLL purchased the building, renovated it and converted the facilities
to a modern, CNC-based, production facility dedicated to the production
of specialized equipment.
ATOLL is a manufacturing and research concern established to develop,
manufacture and sell products designated for nuclear facilities such as
nuclear power plants and the Russian Federal dry storage facility for
nuclear wastes and spent fuel, presently under construction, at the
Mining Chemical Combine ("MCC") located in Zhelesnogorsk, Krasnoyarsk
region. The manufacturing processes utilize state of art computer
controlled, CNC, machinery.
The products from this facility include spare parts for the entire
nuclear cycle, including spare parts for nuclear power plants,
mechanisms for nuclear power plants, and handling equipment for nuclear
waste containers for long term storage of nuclear wastes and spent fuel.
These capabilities also present significant opportunities for increased
sales in foreign markets; for example, China and India.
ATOLL employs approximately 220 persons. They include engineers, nuclear
industry specialists, technical experts in nuclear equipment design and
construction and skilled manufacturing operators of CNC based machinery.
The level of capabilities of this group have established ATOLL as a
designated supplier to facilities operated by ROSENERGOATOM, the
operator and owner of all of the 31 nuclear reactors in the Russian
Federation.
ATOLL has their own construction bureau and develops all of their own
drawings and technical specifications for the manufacturing cycle. This
has established their production as the technical standard for spare
parts and mechanisms for the WWER-440 and WWER-1000 nuclear reactors
presently in operation and under construction in both the Russian
Federation and foreign markets. This production is the intellectual
property of ATOLL. This establishes their production as a sole source to
ROSENERGOATOM and foreign reactors either in operation or under
construction.
ATOLL has foreign trade contracts with operators of nuclear power plants
outside of Russia, for example, in Ukraine and Bulgaria, and exports
spare parts for WWER-440 and WWER-1000 reactors to these countries.
ATOLL is capable of providing technical support and production capacity
to support sales to other export markets.
NNRF believes that it has
substantial marketing opportunities which may result in increases in
sales to these foreign markets. The WWER-440 and WWER-1000 reactors are
the latest designs from Russia. They are considered to be state of art
and are the nuclear reactors currently being constructed in China and
India by ATOMSTROYEXPORT, a strategic partner of
NNRF (SEE: ALLIANCES).
These reactors, like all reactors worldwide, require continuous
replacement of their operating parts due to strict safety standards
established for the nuclear industry. These government mandated
requirements establish consistent and long term contracts for the
production output of ATOLL in both Russian Federation as well as
existing foreign markets and future markets such as China and India.
ATOLL currently has booked advance sales through the year 2011.
NNRF believes this consistent turnover establishes a reliable revenue
stream and also opens up future market opportunities for the technical
innovations currently under development by
NNRF.
Completion of the ATOLL acquisition is intended to provide the company
with the basis to qualify for listing on a principal US and other stock
exchanges; for example, AIM London, Frankfurt and RTS Moscow.
NNRFalso has extensive in-house expertise in all aspects of
radiological protection and radiological waste management.
NNRF revenues commenced in the fourth quarter of 2005 and currently has
approximately 40 million outstanding shares (Pink Sheets: NNRF).
