Advantages ConsiderationsExpansion of services/products tailored to a specific market (and therefore potential for larger organizational learning/cross-pollination throughout Dorsia franchise network)

Opportunity for Dorsia patients of one country to travel and be seen by clinicians/surgeons in other countries, increasing a sense of ‘being close to the patient’ for Dorsia overall

Globally recognized brand increases brand reputation for individual units throughout the world

Worldwide platform from which to learn about individual markets and potential to launch additional Otsu brands

Significant reputational risk should a negative event occur in one office (especially in an emerging market)

Greater complexity in operating Dorsia franchises/managing resources, with each market representing unique challenges/opportunities (even in such an arm’s length structure as Master Franchising)

There are both advantages and considerations to be aware of in expanding Dorsia abroad

Considerations Moving Forward

Markets Selected

After reviewing the international aesthetic market, the international- and country-level franchising space, and the various regulatory, economic, socio-cultural and demographic aspects of several key countries, the Consultant has identified five (5) markets for Dorsia to consider its initial phase of expansion

While the top three (3) countries (US, Brazil, China), based on number of procedures, represent strong competitive pressures, the cosmetic market in this countries promises strong potential for Dorsia in the years ahead

Italy, as a sixth market, is included in select slides given previous discussion Otsu management has held with potential Master Franchisee

South Korea was noted as the top market for cosmetic surgery in the world, with roughly 20% of Korean women said to undergo some form of surgery (notably eye cosmetic surgery)

Colombia, similar to its neighbors Brazil and Argentina, has shown strong growth in the consumer class and a demonstrated desire for cosmetic procedures for aesthetic reasons Source: Consultant research

Entry Methods for International Expansion of Brand

Serendipity

Franchisee finds Dorsia listed on US industry trade publications or through general networking

Trade Missions

Sponsored by groups such as the International Franchise Association, trade missions attempt to provide franchisors with introductions to a number of qualified candidates in each country.

The franchisor is typically responsible for their own expenses (which can run upwards of $10,000), their own follow-up, and their own negotiations.

Brokers Brokers work by promoting your franchise within a particular market, and will often employ a strategy of directly contacting the best potential partners to determine their interest.

Generally, brokers will not ask the franchisor to visit the country until they have generated some serious interest, and oftentimes, the candidates will visit you as a first step, thus minimizing your expenses.

More importantly, this direct contact approach will generally result in the best follow-up, as the broker will generally derive the bulk of their compensation based on "success fees."

These fees generally range between 10% and 20% of the initial fee.

U.S. Commercial Service

The U.S. Government is even available to assist companies in these endeavors through programs such as the Gold Key program. After contacting the appropriate U.S. embassy and, for a modest fee, they will assist in researching the market and identifying potential partners.

They will even set up meetings with these partners

Steps Forward

Source: IFS’a 45th Annual Franchise Convention, Haynes and Boon, LP, Consultant research

After reviewing the present Report, Dorsia management can decide which aspect to develop, keep-on-hand or omit in further strategy development of its brand

Critical is that the financial model is confirmed relevant and comparable with both existing and planned Dorsia operations within Spain and internationally

Following presentation of this Report, the Consultant is ready to work with Dorsia to implement many of the strategic initiatives considered herein, notably:

Due Diligence: Contact and discuss with relevant industry and medical professionals (a list

of organizations in both cosmetic and franchising associations is included in the Appendix with medical professionals in the corresponding excel sheet)

Master Franchise Charter: Framing of Dorsia’s core mission, philosophy and competitive advantages in

each target market in conference with area representatives

Go-to-Market strategy Further drill-down into selected countries in terms of market competition,

industry developments, a more granular country-to-country strategic plan (e.g., “Expanding into China for a Master Franchisor: Dorsia”), additional reach-out to key individuals not considered herein

Further development of the preliminarily crafted financial model built for this present Report

Plastic Surgery includes the repair, reconstruction, or replacement of physical defects of form or function involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, cranio-maxillofacial structures, hand, extremities, breast and trunk, and external genitalia or cosmetic enhancement to these areas of the body

Cosmetic surgery is an essential component of plastic surgery where the plastic surgeon uses cosmetic surgical procedures both to improve overall appearance and to optimize the outcome of reconstructive procedures

According to industry analysts, the cosmetic surgery market has remained relatively stable over the last few years despite the global recession, balanced by impressive growth in emerging markets and slower growth in more developed countries, such as the US and Europe

The rise of “medical tourism”, or travelling to other countries for medical procedures (cosmetic or otherwise) has vastly shifted the landscape, with countries like Brazil, China and India becoming principle medical tourism markets

Principle Market Trends to Consider

Demand for international brands

In both emerging and developed economies, there is a growing sense that international brands = luxury or “the better life”

Emerging classes tend to prefer international over domestic

Growth of Franchising and Master Franchising model

Master Franchising is recognized as a popular vehicle for brand expansion Brands are quickly expanding abroad, capitalizing on rising discretionary incomes,

internet (and therefore awareness of global brands) and greater globalization ‘flattening’ the world

Of 7,500 master franchisees worldwide, 3,200 of franchisors offer master franchises throughout the globe (and importantly, a legal, financial and cultural infrastructure)

Overseas, 80% of U.S. franchisor expansion is through master franchising

Growth in cosmetics and general body-orientation

Advance in cosmetic/surgical-related technologies, convergence of global health standards (e.g., breast augmentation) and general increase in patient knowledge and power have led to a boom in cosmetic procedures over the last few years; a trend that is expected to continue across the globe

Demand for cosmetic surgeries has also increased over the years

Dorsia’s unique evolution

Know-how, capital, networks and overall corporate strategy have been proven in the Spanish market


Four principle trends in both the larger market and internal in Dorsia’s growth make now an important and timely moment to expand

The show (set in Miami, and then Los Angeles) began in 2003, and the series concluded on March 3, 2010, with the 100th episode.

The show had 45 award nominations, winning a Golden Globe and an Emmy.

Series creator Ryan Murphy has said that the medical cases on the show are "100 percent based on fact”

Major Trends | US | Media portrayal of cosmetic surgery

“In a country where plastic surgery is common place, measuring and weighing candidates at interviews is practiced and pop stars are revered—it is not an understatement to say that Koreans are image obsessed.”

Industry Drivers

Rise of emerging markets Greater role played by emerging markets such as China and Brazil. Example for former: the Second

World Congress for Plastic Surgeons of Chinese Descent was held recently (October 29-31, 2010) in Taipei, Taiwan at the Department of Plastic Surgery

In Brazil other local developments (e.g., 2014 FIFA World Cup) are boosting image of country as a major destination

Attractive Demographics Females between the ages of 25-40 account for the largest group undergoing cosmetic surgery, an

age bracket that is increasing in emerging markets, while developed markets, such as the US and UK, have a greying population which also fuels demand in total procedures, boosting youth and redefining the body to appear younger

Advance in technology Movement toward digital health systems—at least in developed markets such as the US (as part of

President Barack Obama’s recent healthcare program overhaul)—can increase the efficiency and expediency of select procedures

Growth in non-surgical cosmetic procedures Industry reports note that non-surgical procedures are increasing in volume faster than surgical

(driven largely by injectable and chemical peels), while surgical procedures are being driven by the development of Minimally Invasive Surgeries

Increased focus on natural and global cosmetic regulatory structures Regulation is being developed and refined across several international markets, notably in Europe

and Asia (e.g., the CEN system is the European equivalent of ISO, a voluntary process where standard institutes of the participating countries provide committees where all stakeholders discuss a specific topic

5 Africa320,000 (1.7%)594 (1.8%)

6 Oceania166,000 (0.9%)273 (0.8%)

Asia (essentially China) is the largest regional market in the world, with South Korea accounting for the largest amount of procedures per Capita

Demographics in Asia, including a relatively young median age, rising discretionary incomes and a shifting pro-beauty culture makes Asia a must for Dorsia expansion

North America (the United States) follows in terms as the largest national market in the world, followed by Europe

Global Cosmetic Procedures | Top 25 Markets Ranked by Total

Procedures

A recent survey by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS) identified the top 25 markets for cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures

Based on their findings, the United States, Brazil and China are the three largest markets in 2010, with Spain in 13th place, decreased from its 2009 ranking

Colombia made the largest leap from 18th to 10th place followed by Italy (13th to 7th)

From these 25, the Consultant has selected 5 of the most attractive markets based on a number of strategic, economic and demographic criteria

Italy is included based on previous discussions with a Master Franchisee


21

Global Cosmetic Procedures | Top 15 Markets, Total per 1,000

People

In terms of procedures performed per 1,000 People, South Korea is by far the strongest market, with roughly 7 people/1000 having some surgical procedure, and over 8 people/1000 having a nonsurgical procedure

Italy ranks second in total amount of procedures per 1000 people (13.4) and Brazil a close second (13.1) with the United States in fourth place (10.6)

For the majority of countries (save Colombia), the amount of surgical to nonsurgical procedures performed are roughly 50/50

Colombia’s surgical procedures is almost double its nonsurgical


22

Global Cosmetic Procedures | Top 15 Countries, GDP Growth and

Per Capita


GDP Per Capita is assumed within the present Report to correlate with market potential

The United States has the highest GDP Per Capita ($50,000) as well as the most amount of procedures performed, though a medium growth in total GDP (PPP) of 4.5% forecasted to 2017

China, with a much lower GDP Per Capita ($9,000) but with a much greater growth rate (10.0%) represents a highly attractive market

Spain can be categorized as having an medium-high GDP Per Capita but a low GDP (PPP) Growth Rate to 2017 of 2.4%

Average Surgeon’s Fees in Select Markets

Based on average surgeon’s fees in five markets (based on ISAPS data identified) across five of the top surgical procedures, fees charged by surgeons in the US are roughly 25% to 50% more than the average figure, while India is the reverse, undercutting average fees by -15% to -30%

Dorsia’s payment to surgeon fees account for roughly 15% of the total cost for the procedure; considering the average fee of Lipoplasty (say, $2,321), one would subtract hospital fees, administration expenses and other G&A to reach an approximate figure paid out, as profit, to surgeons in these markets Source: Consultant research, ISAPS Survey, 2010

Future of Aesthetic Medicine

While many are in the "early stages" today, such technologies will become the norm over the next 5-10 years; Additional breakthroughs in bioengineering and nanomedicine can lead to yet-unimagined innovation in surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, alike


Item Findings Comments

Fat-reducing Technologies

Several fat-reducing technologies have hit the market, such as UltraShape, currently used in 57 countries and pursuing FDA approval, which uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin and break up fat cells, and Zeltiq, a machine that uses intense cold to destroy fat cells. Such treatments are powerful and completely non-invasive alternatives to liposuction and other surgical procedures.

Controversial and has proven to be not as affective as advertised

At-home Laser Removal

Laser-hair removal will be done at home, to be purchased at doctor's offices. The device pinpoints small areas of skin with every treatment to gradually improve discoloration and fine lines.

Innovation will lead to greater acceptance of cosmetic procedures

No Acid needed

And in lieu of hyaluronic acid: "In a few years, we'll actually be able to use a patient's own skin tissue as the basis for a custom-tailored filler that will ideally last longer—with no possibility of allergy or rejection," says Ranella Hirsch, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Boston University School of Medicine.

Core improvement in the sector

Rub-on Botox

A new gel is being developed containing botulinum toxin type A to penetrate the skin topically to smooth wrinkles. The gel is applied, left on for 30 minutes, then wiped off. This rub-on Botox is expected to be available by early 2013.

Potentially game-changing innovation that can disrupt prime revenue generator for doctors today

Topics for Dorsia to Consider

Source: Consultant research, www.brandsofspain.com

In the course of developing this Report, the Consultant found seven (7) main considerations for Dorsia to keep in mind as it begins to expand globally

Dorsia Today To Consider for TomorrowMarketing Positioning

With word-of-mouth and promotional activities serving as powerful mechanisms for patient acquisition

6% may not be enough to echo Dorsia’s success in other markets; marketing accounts for major costs in market elsewhere

Perception of Dorsia as a Spanish Brands

Dorsia maintains a certain advantage in its ‘home market’ by being a Spanish brand found throughout the country and therefore instantly recognized as ‘local’ by Spanish customers. However, the local nature of the Dorsia brand was not clearly a competitive advantage (vs. customer acquisitions model, pricing, etc.)

Ultimately, the attractiveness of the Dorsia brand will be based on how it is positioned in the market and how it stands compared to its competitors. There was little evidence found supporting the idea that a medical surgical practice, as a Spanish brand, would be discouraged in the market. (for example, in China, specifically, however a recent Spanish brand-centered forum noted an increased interest for Spanish brands, though there it was not clear if this was equal for all products)

Perceived Competitive Advantage (i.e., close to the Patient)

Either through a) personal consulting, b) provision of complementary services/products (e.g., nutritionist, psychologist), c) monthly games/activities (“Cinderella” contests), d) larger market plays (e.g., fashion shows), e) engaging IT (e.g., mobile apps), etc.

May be difficult for either franchisees or Dorsia headquarters to successfully or adequately manage

36

Topics for Dorsia to Consider (cont’d)


In the course of developing this Report, the Consultant found seven (7) main considerations for Dorsia to keep in mind as it begins to expand globally

Dorsia Today To Consider for Tomorrow

Competitive Edge

Spanish competitors unable to successfully emulate Dorsia formula to link beauty with confidence

Competitors in other markets may be more nimble, or ‘responsible beauty’ mission less a differentiator in other markets

Quality Management

Strong emphasis on quality when selecting franchisees

Critical to be replicated internationally for both franchisees, or JV partners

Competitive Pricing

In Spain, Dorsia has, on average, 10-20% cheaper prices than principle competitors Clinicas Londres and Corporacion Demoestetica

Pricing power will differ based on market, and in several markets higher pricing points may be preferable (e.g., signaling quality)

Geography Benefit of Mediterranean weather and need/desire to show body

Although not specific to Dorsia, this cultural and climactic factor is noteworthy, especially in terms of other markets to consider for expansion

37

Market Positioning for Dorsia to Consider in Individual Markets

Motivation Product Place Promotion

Price

Goddess (all ages)

“Just” Focus on surgical, emphasize “specialness”

Luxury stores, high-priced malls

Premium ads/marketing

Premium price point (30% above norm)

Working Women(30+)

“Just for Me” Surgical + Non-surgical, comprehensive

Both residential and corporate settings

Combined with corporate settings (e.g., WSJ, etc.)

Medium-High

Soccer Mom (30-40+)

“Just for him and me”

Comprehensive, emphasize functionality

Accessible, shopping malls, residential areas

Internet, inserts, holiday promotions

Medium

Graduate(21-30)

“Just for the world”

Focus on surgical(non-surgical as complementary)

Accessible, shopping malls, residential areas

Focus on internet, with partner ads

Medium

Student(18-21)

“Just because I want (or to be like ‘her’)”

Focus on surgical (non-surgical as complementary)

Accessible, shopping malls, university areas

Focus on internet, time with academic seasons

Medium

Depending on the market (competitive setting, GDP per Capita, socio-cultural trends, etc.), Dorsia may need/want to shift its market positioning

Discussions with Otsu Management have revealed that the first two categories (“Goddess” and “Working Women”) are the desired markets

38

Individual countries vary on their level of complexity, quality accreditation and optimal market entry for Master Franchise arrangements.

The two principle entry methods suggested for international franchises are 1) brokers and 2) leveraging 3rd party resources such as the US Commercial Service and 3) Trade Missions In terms of ensuring medical qualifications, associations such as the International

Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS) are key in either vetting surgeons or as central network to identify other medical professionals in the country.

In terms of understanding the country's franchising situation, it is recommended to work with, or otherwise access professionals associated with the International Franchising Association (IFA).

The following steps are recommended:1 Leveraging the present Report, a dialogue should be initiated between the relevant

representative of each major country at the US Commercial Service, the ISAPS (e.g., several select doctors) and at the IFA.

2 The Master Franchise Charter should be drafted by Dorsia noting a brief overview of Dorsia and why Master Franchising is the strategy being pursued at this junction.

3 Where appropriate (e.g., China, Korea, Brazil) it is suggested that the Master Franchisee Charter be translated to ensure smooth dialogue moving forward.

4 This dialogue with all representatives will be carefully documented and a go-to-market strategy outlined in further detail, including the identification of local representatives most appropriate for Dorsia's brand equity.

5 When/where appropriate, a fee structure (e.g., using third party brokerage or US Commercial services), along with peripheral fees (e.g., travel, translation, printing) will be outlined and presented to Dorsia management as part of the later stages of Phase 2: Due Diligence

•

38Additional Market Expansion Considerations


39

Status of Critical Elements for Expansion

Commitment at the top Clear commitment shown

Strategy and Plan - Present report, in process

Intranet - Potential to purchase off-the-shelf software designed specifically for medical sector

Competitive Advantage Based on market; needs clarification – Dorsia must maintain clear differentiation

Success at Home Strong growth over last several years, with 60 new units expected by 2016

Well-documented training, support and marketing systems

Need translation into English, etc.

System standards and reporting processes Completed but need further examination in new

markets (based on local regulations)

Market and competitor research - To be completed once markets agreed upon and

identified (see Appendix for US players)

Trademarks and Other - Registered internationally in select markets (e.g., Japan); must register in new markets


Currently, Dorsia exhibits most to all of the principle elements needed for successful international Master Franchising agreements

40

40

Market Conditions Constraining Diffusion of Franchising in

Emerging MarketsAcademic, Anecdotal and an analysis of successful market entry strategies (of which Master Franchising is considered a sub-category) yields the following six aspects to consider for a successful expansion; below are selected items to consider

Geographical Distance

Considered a fundamental element in the expansion of (US) international franchising, noting that distances increases the costs of both monitoring and logistical support

Cultural Distance Differences between two cultures (both national and industry-wise) can have a powerful effect on the success of a venture; that beauty is a culturally-constrained

Uncertainty Avoidance

Franchising is considered an optimal strategy as a way of mitigating uncertainty for international players as locals leverage networks and know-how in the market

Individualism The degree of individualism within a society may impact the popularity and spread of franchises

Political stability Franchising works well when the political climate is both stable and unstable

Economic Market Potential

Economic market potential here is equated with the country’s GDP, GDP per Capita and population data as well as those cultural aspects which demonstrate a sustained interest in cosmetic procedures


41

Measure Company Case

Political/Economic

Hilton exited Iran as a result of revolution (1979)

Hotel bombed by terrorists in Indonesia (2003)

Legal/Regulatory

Lengthy legal battle with Chinese joint venture partner (2006-08)

Unfavorable lease agreement which led to withdrawal from EU (1971)

Cultural Distance

Experienced $1 billion pre-tax loss as a result of misjudging German consumer and business culture. Exited market after 9 years (2006)

Company accused of “cultural imperialism” (1993)

Market Potential

Lose “first mover” advantage when German fitness center copied concept and saturated market (2004)

Company unable to achieve profitability and exited UK market (1991)

Expansion Model


The present model takes a market-driven approach, with the total market (population) and addressable market (female population between 25-40 years of age) and assumes a rough figure of a) patients per clinic, b) total number of clinics, and finally c) total revenue per clinic, all based on historical performance by Dorsia in the Spanish market

Dorsia Overview

Dorsia Snapshot Operating under the slogan ‘Responsible Beauty’, which can be

understood as the combination of ‘health and natural results’, Dorsia Clinics consist of top aesthetic doctors, plastic surgeons, endoscopic surgeons and dermatologists in 23 clinics across Spain

Dorsia Clinics is held by Otsu, considered a “‘company of companies’, and specializing in the creation and development of projects through the identification of an area of opportunity, with whom [Otsu] identifies in its genesis, vision and values”

Dorsia Clinics is considered the 2nd largest operator in Europe and 3rd largest in Spain

Formed in 2002, Dorsia Clinics is dedicated to resolve any aesthetic concern on a global level by means of surgery and personalized medical-aesthetic treatments that combine its effectiveness with a consistent follow-up.

Dorsia’s Expansion Dorsia is in the process of launching a new, innovative format called

‘Breast Corner” With 23 Dorsia Clinics opened currently, Management projects an

additional 60 Dorsia Clinics to be opened by 2016 History and forecasted expansion of the Dorsia brand are discussed

further in the Appendix

Strengths Weaknesses Early and maintained awareness of holistic

beauty (mind and body as linked) Investment in its people! Proven business model (approach,

marketing, etc.) Multi-format model (franchisee, owned

units) Entrepreneurial (unique in Spain) Focused demographic (women between 25-

40) Careful growth (based on acquisition of

qualified franchisees) Strong consumer engagement (“Cinderella”) Engagement with customers, including

surveys, etc. Strong word-of-mouth advertising

Unique vis-a-vis non-adaptive competitors; not so in other markets where competitors may be more nibble (flexible in business model) and better financed

Individuals wearing too many hats at present stage for international expansion

Principle vision dependent on concept that beauty is linked with external form, which may, to a degree, be culturally dependent prime concern is that Dorsia mission may not be as robust in other markets

IT System not currently scalable

Opportunities Threats Dorsia product (skin care, clothing, etc.) Private equity as vehicle for financing/increasing

Dorsia scope Medical tourism in Spain Partnerships with academia, products, etc.) Strengthen organizational statistics Breast cancer reconstruction Identify additional synergies between Otsu divisions Quality control department based on training,

follow-up – consider more automatic IT ‘red flags’ International partnerships with soaps, cosmetics Men! Or at least segue to minor investment (1%-5%)

– may be more profitable in other markets (e.g., Asia)

Greater cross-pollination possible

Relevance of Dorsia Model (to maintain competitive advantage)

Local and global competitors Reputational loss Opportunity costs Shifting legislation in emerging markets (in

terms of Dorsia’s international expansion)

61SWOT Analysis of Dorsia Clinics


62

IT Considerations

Currently, the one major constraint for Dorsia to seamlessly (and successfully) expand internationally is lack of a proper IT infrastructure

“Dotsu” was considered previously as a comprehensive IT architecture to assist Otsu in adding franchisees and coordinating activity between its many clinics (both franchise and owned); additional Otsu subsidiaries/franchises can be added as appropriate

There are four (4) critical elements needed for Dorsia’s IT systems:1. Scalable – the ability to easily add new franchisees/clinics to the

system, along with, at a later date, third party off-the-shelf systems used by Otsu divisions (e.g., Yoogle, Quick Gold, etc.)

2. Analytics – the ability for a back-office analytic system to better understand customer experience, local, regional and global trends, user experience with different Dorsia elements (web, Dorsia Breast, etc.) and potentially predict challenges in the market (e.g., with multivariable analysis)

3. Flexible – the ability to add/delete/modify procedures and related information during course of procedural evolution in individual clinics

4. ROI – the Dotsu system was predicted to have 3-5 year ROI – no systems with longer ROIs should be considered

64What is a Master Franchise

Master Franchising is a commonly used way to grow beyond one’s home territory, whether within a country, or to another country.

Learn about local market and translate into knowledge into further international strategy

Potential for second brand launching if gaps in foreign markets are identified

Potential synergy with partner/franchisee’s local networks in other areas (esp. key for Otsu)

Opportunities to expand in selected cities and leverage partner’s local networks

Q: How successful is international master franchising? A: 30% want to buy another master franchises

Increasing global and local competition

Shifting regulatory structures in emerging markets

Potentially expensive legal battles

Reliance on identifying quality Master Franchisees or partners

Cost dynamics differ per region Transaction costs—both initial and

on-going—may run high based on market

HQ required for each market

Relatively low-cost expansion vehicle Individual units can provide bottoms-up

Typical Master Franchise Owner

Area Developer Sub-franchises Master FranchiseeThe area development agreement is one of the most popular ways to create multi-unit franchises.

The development agreement allows the franchisee (developer) to develop and operate multiple units in a given specific area. This right is generally accompanied by obligations to create and establish a specific number of franchises in the designated territory over a given period of time.

The franchisee generally will develop the territory as fast as possible and is often required to develop at least one franchise unit per year in the specific territory.

Sub franchising occurs when a franchisor grants an individual or group the right to franchise the franchisor's business in a specific territory for a set period of time. The franchisor may reserve final approval of the selected sub franchisee, the actual operator/owner, and thereafter the sub franchisor has total control over the relationship.

The sub franchisor may even use its own franchise agreement and assumes all obligations such as training and field support services to all sub franchisees.

This method of franchising is finding disfavor with many franchisors because of the added complexity and legal liabilities which the franchisor still retains because the use of trademarks and trade names related to the franchise organization.

Commonly used when franchisors franchise internationally.

The individual or entity known as the "master franchisee" is generally granted the rights within a prescribed territory and for a specific period of time to solicit prospective franchisees. The franchisor directly enters into a unit franchise agreement with many the prospective franchisees that it approves.

However, in foreign countries, the master franchisee will be responsible for the solicitation and signing of each franchisee and will generally provide the training and other services to the franchisee and usually receives a percentage of the franchise fees paid to the franchisor. A master franchisee also has the right to develop and operate franchise units within the territory assigned.

Select Country Overview | United States

The US has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of $47,200. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace.

US business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home markets than foreign firms face entering US markets.

US’s 2012 GDP is estimated at $15.6 bn. with 2012-’17 CAGR hitting 4.5% with an inflation rate of 2.2%. The US is ranked 4 out of 183 countries in the World Bank Group’s Ease of Doing Business Ranking due to corruption and government regulations on business.

72

72Undoubtedly the largest market on several terms, there will also be HQ of Otsu from which to oversee MF for both US and South America. Cosmetic surgery paid out-of-pocket and several cities are body-oriented (L.A., Miami) or notably affluent (NY). Demand continues to rise as the country slowly makes its way out of economic hardship.


Select Country Overview | United States | Cosmetic

Drivers Demand for body-contouring given high rates of

obesity Television talk shows, reality shows, and online

resources are additionally enhancing public awareness

Celebrities, and cosmetic surgeons and clinics, also stand as strong factors fueling the procedural volumes

Increased product availability, strong marketing efforts, value-for-money, more FDA approvals, and expanding consumer interest and awareness will boost injectable market

Constraints

Cost of treatments 30-50% higher depending on surgery and country compared to

Greater international mobility of Americans


Select Country Overview | Brazil

Considered as among the top destinations in medical tourism (esp. Sao Paulo, Brazil's center for technological breakthroughs in field of medical technology and research). Brazilians have long seen beauty and bodily aspirations as a right. Known for affordable, safe and innovative healthcare, Brazil is a must for Dorsia's expansion.

Its main trade partners are the US, Argentina, China, Germany, Netherlands, and Nigeria. Its primary imports are machinery, electrical and transport equipment, chemical products, oil, and automotive parts. Exports consist of transport equipment, iron ore, soybeans, footwear, coffee, and autos.

Brazil’s 2012 GDP is estimated at $2.4 bn. with 2012-’17 CAGR hitting 5.5% with an inflation rate of 5.6%. Brazil ranked 126 out of 183 countries in the World Bank Group’s Ease of Doing Business Ranking due to corruption and government regulations on business.

74

74The bulk of plastic and cosmetic surgery clinics are located in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Recife and, in fact, Recife is known as the plastic surgery capital in the world and the most popular city in the north east.

Clinics are also now cropping up in other parts of the country, for example, in Fortaleza in the north east where clinics offer cosmetic surgery at slightly lower prices than in Rio and São Paolo.


Select Country Overview | Brazil | Cosmetic

Drivers

Latin America seen as top market for cosmetic surgery

Continued good exchange rate against US Beauty seen as a right, not luxury; perception

seen that "surgery improves a woman’s auto-estima”

Constraints

Public hospitals are poorly fundedPerception by some about quality, give poor status of Brazil (quality considered top decision factor in medical tourism)

Potential for reputational lost


Select Country Overview | China

China has gone through major economic reforms in the past 30 years in order to compete better on a global scale. These reforms have allowed for a rapidly growing Chinese economy which is now the second-largest in the world based on GDP.

Its primary imports are electrical and other machinery, oil and mineral fuels, and optical and medical equipment. Exports consist of electrical and other machinery including data processing equipment, along with apparel, textiles, iron and steel.

China’s 2012 GDP is estimated at $12.4 bn. with 2012-’17 CAGR hitting 10.3% with an inflation rate of 4.2%. China ranked 91 out of 183 countries in the World Bank Group’s Ease of Doing Business Ranking mostly due to government regulations on business.

76

76No official figures exist, but the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery estimated in 2009 that China ranked third, behind the United States and Brazil, with more than two million operations annually.

Cosmetic surgery was only introduced in Beijing in 1994, and the market has evolved considerably since then. Beijing's China-Japan Friendship Hospital sees a total of 20 to 30,000 people in their plastic surgery department every year, according to department director Dr. Ma Haihuan. The numbers have been steadily increasing over the past few years.


Select Country Overview | China | Cosmetic

Drivers Rising consumer class and beauty connected with

greater social mobility Age not tied with demand; e.g., largest operation is

with the eyes, so age market is much wider vs. 25-40 years of age

Beauty salons (pedicures, manicures, etc.) offering Botox and eyelid surgery

Constraints Concerns with quality Regulatory system seen as not keeping up Nor has health standards kept up with demand:

celebrity “Super Girl” died after her windpipe filled with blood during an operation to reshape her jaw in Hubei Province

Flow of Chinese patients to South Korea


Select Country Overview | Italy

Italy has a diversified economy well divided between the more strongly developed north and the less developed south where unemployment is much higher.

Its economy is dominated by trade and manufacture of high quality consumer goods. Italy’s main trade partners are Germany, France, Spain, UK, US, Belgium, Netherlands, and China. Its primary imports are engineering products, chemicals, transport equipment, energy products, textiles and clothing, and food, beverages, and tobacco. Exports include engineering products, textiles and clothing, production machinery, motor vehicles, transport equipment, chemicals, and food, beverages, and tobacco.

Italy’s GDP in 2012 was $1.8 bn. And 2012-’7 CAGR is estimated to be 1.9% with inflation rate of over 3.0% Italy ranked 87 out of 183 countries in the World Bank Group’s Ease of Doing Business Ranking.

78

78Italy is a highly recommended destination for having plastic surgery abroad. The cosmetic surgery industry in Italy is well developed and tightly regulated. Italy boasts some of the finest medical professionals in the world, many of whom work in the cosmetic surgery sector. The majority of private clinics are of a high standard and prices are very competitive, especially vis-à-vis the UK.

Membership with the Italian Society of Cosmetic Medicine and Surgery is another good indication of quality. The Italian Ministry of Health oversees and assesses all clinics and hospitals in Italy, keeping a close eye on the plastic surgery industry.


Select Country Overview | Italy | Cosmetic

Drivers

Combination of "surgery and vacation" Competitive pricing against other European

countries General European focus on beauty

Constraints

Recent macroeconomic challenges represents constraint on surgical demand

Perception of cost (on par with Europe) and quality (less than US) may impact willingness to see Italy as attractive market


Select Country Overview | South Korea

South Korea has gone through an amazing period of economic growth since the Korean War in the 1950s. It is now comparable to some of the largest economies in the world with a GDP of more than one trillion and is becoming a more attractive area for foreign investment.

Its main trade partners are China, Japan, the US, Hong Kong, and Saudi Arabia.

80

80The plastic surgery industry has stormed Asia, and South Korea has the continent's biggest clientele. The Economist first reported that a 2009 survey by a market-research firm known as Trend Monitor found that about one in five women from Seoul have undergone some sort of plastic surgery.

The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery says per capita, South Korea leads the way with 20 percent of women in Seoul aged between 19 and 49 undergoing the knife.


Select Country Overview | South Korea | Cosmetic

Drivers

Korean pop sensations (Goo Hara from hit girl group KARA) noting their cosmetic surgery

Flow of Chinese patients from China More Korean teens having surgery Parents have powerful influence on children

Constraints

Cultural concerns over obsession with cosmetic surgery

China as competitive market capturing medical tourists


Select Country Overview | Colombia

82

82Colombia has become a hot spot for cosmetic tourism, becoming more popular (i.e., currently experiencing a tourism boom, with 3% believed to arrive for cosmetic procedures) along with higher demand for its competitive pricing. Quality of Colombian medicine is perceived as high. Other major cities, such as Cali and Medellin, are also becoming strong destination spots outside of Bogota.

The news that Argentine soccer star, Diego Maradona, who had become obese, underwent a successful stomach-stapling surgery in Cartagena, helped further boost interest in the country as a place for cosmetic surgeries.
