Kemson O-Mobile MVNO Network is an innovative Post Paid Telecommunication Customer- focused Service in Nigeria operating as the first Microfinance Focused Post Paid Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) powered by a GSM Company and CDMA Operator.

Kemson O-Mobile™ Business Unit have developed a unique 3MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing: Multi-Level- Mentoring: Multi-Level-Microcredit) Business Model for O-Mobile Post Paid Telecommunications Services integrated with Limited Partnership (Non Interest) Microfinance Methodology.

O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers Network Membership will be open to farmers to be known as O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers.

O-MobileMAMCIS™ must be willing and able to subscribe to O-Mobile Post Paid MVNO Telecommunications Services integrated with Limited Partnership Microfinance Services from partner Microfinance Banks and Channel Partners. Kemson O-Mobile will be a Post-Paid Mobile Virtual Network Channel of MFIFlex™_ COLLECTPLUS™ Platform and thus creating a shift in member’s mentality towards post-paid as against pre-paid services. Kemson O-Mobile™ Network will provide a no frills, honest, transparent and fairly priced postpaid Telecom services. Kemson O-Mobile 3MLM Business Model will further be integrated with top class Micro Insurance Products powered by a consortium of insurance companies to take care of any other risk that the 3MLM Business Model could not take care off in our proposed Post Paid and Farming

A very reputable Commodity Trading Network operating in Dubai, Singapore and UK will be the buyer of last choice of all the Agric products produced from the scheme.

1.1 SOURCE OF FUNDING FARMERS ON O-MOBILEMAMCIS™ FARMERS NETWORK

One of the MFIFlex™_COLLECTPLUS™ products that will be offered by Channel Partners is the Unlimited Talk™ Plan. The Billing Platform for Unlimited Talk™ Plan is as follows:

O-Mobile Call Rates Call Rates Within The Guarantee Usage Plan

Kemson Unlimited Talk™ Plan is available on a 3 years’ Post Paid Contract Package for a N6 , 500.00 Guaranteed Minimum Usage. Every O-Mobile Unlimited Talk™ Client deposit N6, 500.00 with Kemson as security deposit to cover 50% of the Credit Risk on N13,000.00 Post Paid Exposure on the Post Paid Services on O-Mobile MVNO Platform. In other to activate a Kemson Unlimited Talk™ Plan, our contract with Telecommunications Company requires a security deposit of N800.00 for every Voice Clients. So we will deposit N800.00 with Partner Telecommunications and the balance N5, 700.00 from the


Security Deposit will be invested in SecureInvest™ Trust AG in Switzerland. This means that for every 100,000.00 O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmer Associates that subscribes to O-Mobile Unlimited Talk™, Kemson will invest N570, 000,000.00 in SecureInvest™ Trust AG. This investment of N570,000,000.00 will be leveraged to create an O-MobileMAMCIS™ Micro Credit Fund of N57,000,000,000.00 for O-Mobile MAMCIS™ Micro Credit Programme over a 12-Month period.

1.2 HOW THIS PROGRAMME WORKS

O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers Network works Exclusively with Participating Cooperatives as Channel Partners to develop subsistent farmers into Mechanized and Commercial Farmers Powered by MFIFlex™_ COLLECTPLUS™ Microfinance Processing Platform. MFIFlex™_ COLLECTPLUS™ Processing Hub provides an end-to-end technology solution for Bank of Agriculture as Partner Settlement Bank and Partner Microfinance Banks as Hosted Solution to increase productivity and business opportunities through O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers Network. The diagram below shows the framework of the platform:

MFIFlex™_ COLLECTPLUS™ Processing Hub will also help to integrate Partner Microfinance Institutions with other key participants from across the economy to create a more efficient and vibrant Agricultural Micro financial ecosystem


Participating Agricultural Cooperative Societies duly registered with O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers and Participating Microfinance Banks are expected to sponsor a Minimum of 2,000 O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers into the programme with a N13, 000,000.00 Secured Loan Portfolio package as MicroSecureInvest™ Limited Partnership Trust Loan of N6, 500.00 for each of the 2,000 O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers they are sponsoring into the Network. This N13, 000,000.00 MicroSecureInvest Limited Partnership Loan is used by Kemson Concept Limited and Africa Capital & Business Support Limited (Operators of O-Mobile and MAMCIS programme) to secure the 2,000 O-Mobile Post Paid Unlimited Talk™ Contract Phone Lines from our Telco partners under our MVNO Contract (See the Executed LOI and the MVNO Contract Attached) needed for these O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers to become O-Mobile Empowered Farmers. This contract allows us to offer Post Paid MVNO Phones Services and Mobile Collection Services to O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers Members Nationwide.

We will need a Minimum of 10,000.00 Members per state to jumpstart the programme. This will give us an initial 10,000.00 O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers Network Members and a take-off Fund of N65,000,000.00 (Sixty Five Million Naira) O-MobileMAMCIS™ Fund.

1.3 WHY IS THIS N6, 500.00 CALLED A MICROSECUREINVEST O-MOBILEMAMCIS™ LOAN PORTFOLIO FOR PARTICIPATING MEMBERS?

This is so because the Microfinance Bank can never lose this money. After we pay the security deposit to Partner for the 1,000 Post Paid Phone Accounts, Partner Telecommunications will create 1,000 Post Paid Phone Account with two months Phone access period for N13, 000.00 and these lines are domiciled in the Microfinance Bank as security for the Loan. At this point, the phone lines have not been handed to the O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers yet so there is no exposure yet for the Microfinance Bank. After a Farmer joins O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers Network and he wants to start using his phone, he MUST pay joining fees of N18, 000, 00 into Kemson Concept Limited Account in the Sponsoring Microfinance Bank. This Account of the Participating Microfinance Bank is a Special Paymaster O-Mobile Settlement Account in O-Mobile Custodian Commercial Bank connected to MFIFlex™_ COLLECTPLUS™ Platform.


The N18, 000.00 represents:

N6,500.00 Security Deposit for the monthly Phone access

N5, 000.00 Security Deposit for the Mobile Phone

N5,000.00 Account Opening for O-Mobile Money Account

N1,500.00 O-MobileMAMCIS™ National ID Card (Issued in collaboration with the Federal

Government and the National Identity Management Commission New Identity Number Scheme)

This mean that every N6,500,000.00 Secure Loan to 1,000 O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers for 1,000 postpaid Phone access accounts with Partner Telecommunications will create N18,000,000.00 Float for participating Microfinance Banks in Kemson Custodian Account giving the Microfinance Bank a net float of N11,500.000.00.

O-Mobile Secured Loan for 90 Days Only

The N6, 500,000.00 is a Loan to O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers is a 90days Loan only as each loan is repaid

as soon as each member joins the programme, so as long as the sponsoring Cooperative who sponsored

the Membership into O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers and the staffs are able to market new 1,000 members to

join O- Mobile MAMCIS Farmers Network in 90 days, the Microfinance Bank will recover the loan in 90 days.

O-Mobile Custodian Float for 3 Years Minimum and Extendable Thereafter

The N11, 500,000.0 is a Long term fixed deposit by Kemson Concept Limited. This N11, 500,000.00 Long

Term Fixed deposit will remain fixed in the Microfinance bank as long as the O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers

is operational in O-MobileMAMCIS™ Programme. This N11, 500,000.00 is leveraged by 1x100 through O-

MobileMAMCIS™ Limited Partnership Sub Fund in SecureInvest™ Trust AG to create a Micro Finance

Fund for our Limited Partnership Micro Credit Products through the Microfinance Bank.

What happens if The O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers Does Not Pay Their Post Paid Phone Usage Bill

At the end of every month, Partner Telecommunications will send us a bill for usage to Mechanized Agricultural Investment Services Limited and Mechanized Agricultural Investment Services Limited will send the bill to O-MobileMAMCIS™ farmers. Their Account in Microfinance Bank will be debited and the new month postpaid Phone access is activated, consistently giving O-MobileMAMCIS™ Farmers two months postpaid credit access on O-Mobile platform. We have some insurance products integrated in the scheme that insures this risk from a consortium of 6 insurance companies namely:
