Revenue Generated at Multiple Points in Contract Life

ThinkSmart generates revenue from 3 core sources:

1. Upfront brokerage on sale of equipment– Credit risk is mostly limited to the pre-agreed loss reserves– Predominantly non-recourse funding models with leading

banks

2. Recurring income stream from Insurance through life of contracts– ThinkSmart takes no underwriting risk but receives a

significant portion of the insurance premium as commission

3. “Inertia” income at end of term– Generate from extended rentals & sales of equipment into

secondary markets – existing contracts to deliver $60m of future revenue.
