1.1 Why Australia for


security tokenisation?
Australia is one of the best countries globally to
support a security tokenisation industry. With over
$2.7 trillion in super funds and 1/3 of that in self-
managed super, Australians punch well above their
weight when it comes to investing.

Unlike the Caymans or other non descript islands in


the pacific, Australia has a strong, well-regulated,
respected and advanced financial industry.
Listing on Australian exchanges is sought after
by companies worldwide. Creating a full retail
public fundraising offer in Australia is much easier
compared to the United States where raising money
from retail investors requires significant scrutiny
from SEC and requires piles of paperwork.

While retail offers in Australia also need to provide


“clear, concise and effective” disclosures, the
Australian securities regulatory framework is
transparent and easy to navigate with the focus
more on the principles of disclosure rather than box
ticking. There are multiple ways in which someone
2. Problem
In order to raise capital for your venture, whether it is real estate or not, you require
access to investors.

However, investors come in two main types:

1. Large (Wholesale, institutional, high net worth/sophisticated investors)

2. Small (Mum and dad retail investors)

Not everyone has access to large investors, and the terms a large investor may seek
can make the venture not rewarding enough to the issuer.

Reaching out to small investors would mean that you need many of them to band
together to help achieve the target funds you are seeking. And you also need a
investment offer document that would make it compliant with the regulations around
promoting to retail investors.

You also need the technology to manage all these investors, keep track of who has
invested how much and when, what returns are due to them, etc.

Finally, you want investors to have liquidity. Liquidity is an attractive investment feature
and liquid offerings typically command a 35% premium in valuations over illiquid peers.

However listing can be cost-prohibitive and onerous to maintain.

In effect, the problems in capital raising are:

1. Compliance for making a retail offer

2. Technology to manage large numbers of small investors

3. Investor reach

4. Liquidity for investors


3. Solution
Konkrete Information Memorandum

At Konkrete, we have developed template investment offer documents that can be


used by any issuer to provide the details of their investment offering in a clear, concise
and effective manner to retail investors.

We have developed repeatable steps that automate a lot of the administration work
that goes into lodging a retail offer, reducing the cost of doing a full retail offer by over
10 times.

We have also developed a fully customisable SAAS product that gives any issuer the
technology to present their investment offer online on a fully custom-branded platform.
The technology also allows the issuer to manage the investors and keep them posted
on the progress of their investment.

We have over 3200 investors already registered with us.

However, we want to be able to reach a much wider investor base. The more investors we
can get on the platform, the better the chances of any offer to get funded successfully.

We believe that Blockchain can be a powerful mechanism to reach investors worldwide.


Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have already proven that it is possible to reach a large
worldwide network of people and maintain consensus between them about who owns
what and how much without the need for a central party.

These 3 attributes:

1. Global reach

2. Ability to maintain consensus around ownership without the need for a central
3rd party

3. Liquidity

Make Blockchain an ideal solution for us.

Not only does it allow us to reach a wide network of investors but the inherent nature
of Blockchain means that shares recorded on the Blockchain can be traded in a peer-
to-peer fashion without the need for a central party.

This means that security offers listed on the Blockchain are implicitly liquid from day
one and do not need to go through the expensive process of listing on a stock exchange
to offer liquidity to their investors.

We propose a KYC complete distributed registry on which any type of investment


offering can be listed.

Konkrete Information Memorandum

Such a solution would make it possible for investors worldwide to tap into the best
investment opportunities globally. Someone in South Africa will be able to own a
fraction of property in Australia, netting them a stable investment. Property developers
in Australia will be able to attract low-cost funding from investors worldwide rather
than have to offer exorbitant returns and controls to a few high net-worth investors
locally.

And when the investors want their money back, they can liquidate their assets by
selling it to other buyers on the platform, just like they would do for a listed share.

Unlike standard listed shares however, the potential audience is much larger and the
cost of compliance for the issuer is much lower.

4. Background:
What is Blockchain and
Tokens, and why are
they so exciting?
Konkrete Information Memorandum

Animals resolve their disputes through physical violence. We humans on the other
hand use a set of rules to govern ourselves. When there is a dispute we approach
trusted third-parties like the police, courts, etc., to adjudicate. Governments operate as
centralised trusted third parties to make and enforce rules.

However if this third party is corrupt it can lead to perversion of outcomes. Consider
the following example:

John operates a food stall that employs 2 guys and sells lunch to the local working
community.

Suppose a local goon is shaking up a food stall vendor for a percentage of his revenue.
The vendor complains to the police who happen to be in the pockets of the goon. The
police ignore the complaint. Fed up with this and an inability to make profits due to
the goon’s cut, John shuts down the business. The 2 guys lose their jobs and the local
community their source of lunch.

When dispute resolution does not happen in a fair and transparent manner, productive
transactions stop. This is one of the big reasons why countries where the rule of law
is not strong and corruption is rife are also where development is low and people
are poor. Productive behaviour cannot thrive where the third party on whom dispute
resolution is relied upon cannot be trusted.

What if there was a way in which the need for a trusted third party is completely
eliminated?

Blockchain technology eliminates the need for a trusted third party. With the centralised
third party no longer necessary, all the challenges associated with it being potentially
corrupted automatically disappear.

This basic premise of the elimination of the need for trusted third parties has led to an
exponential growth of Blockchain applications like Bitcoin and Ethereum. A crypto-
coin or a token is a digital currency that can be used for various purposes. The value
of these crypto-coins is directly linked to the number of people using it or its network
size. Those with more user adoption carry a larger market price.

We propose an application of Blockchain technology geared specifically towards


securities. This implementation would be KYC complete and the offerings on it would
follow all the regulatory requirements. The Konkrete crypto-token (KKT) is similar to
Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc., in that it acts as a fuel to power the various activities on the
platform – such as paying for transaction fees.

The platform is analogous to the ASX and can be used by various security offerings.
One such offering we’ll be implementing is our own fractional property fund that will
help solve the housing affordability crisis in Australia and worldwide. Other offerings
will of course also be made by 3rd party issuers.

We look at the use of Blockchain to introduce decentralisation and distributed


operations. For example, the fractional-property fund will allow anyone to propose

12
Konkrete Information Memorandum

their own properties for crowdfunding. Use of processes governed on the Blockchain,
where the votes on which property should get funded is transparently and immutably
recorded, will mean that this system can provide everyone a fair go and be free of
interference from anyone – including us.

We also see Blockchain as a way to reach a global audience. Using Blockchain, a person
sitting in Venezuela or South Africa should be able to invest in a share of property in a
safe haven country like Australia in a safe and transparent manner.

And finally we see the distributed registry as an implicit secondary market. This
introduces liquidity to the fractional property concept we are proposing.

All 3 points mentioned above, Governance, Distribution and Liquidity are applicable to
not just our own fractional-property fund but are also valuable to any securities issuer.

4.1 USP
Wide investor reach and implicit liquidity for your offers means that offers will get
funded faster and attract a lower cost of capital. This can be very powerful for property
developers looking to raise capital and help other fund managers get more funds under
management.

We expect the platform to be used for both property and non-property related offerings.
Whilst our platform can seem somewhat analogous to the ASX on the blockchain, we
will be able to do more far more than just matching investors. For instance, the typical
steps for a listed company are:

1. Issue a fully compliant public offer document

2. Raise the capital needed before listing through a process of reaching out to
large investors (Book build)

3. Once listed, buyers and sellers need to find each other and conduct a trade.

4. The change in balance then needs to reflect in both parties and the centralised
registry of balances needs to updated. This happens via registry providers and
back office operations that build up positions.

The Konkrete platform provides all of the above services in a one-stop shop fashion
and consolidates the value provided in all the above steps in a single place and offering.

13
Konkrete Information Memorandum

4.2 Security tokens


These are shares or units of a particular offering, such as a Company or Fund represented
on the Blockchain. There will be several security tokens with each investment offering
having its own security token. Only a whitelisted address (whose holder has completed
their KYC) will be able to own a security token.

Before a security token can be issued, its issuer will have to create a compliant investment
offer document and lodge it with the relevant regulatory bodies corresponding to their
jurisdiction.

4.2.1 Smart securities


Security tokens go beyond just representing securities on the Blockchain and giving
a wider investor reach plus liquidity. Where desired, security tokens can allow active
investor participation in decision making of operational matters by making it possible
to record shareholder votes in a transparent, incorruptible and inexpensive manner – in
real time.

Security tokens can also operate in a pre-programmed manner where decisions on


fund deployment follow a well defined IF THEN ELSE routine, making it possible to
construct very low cost and highly dynamic custom investment portfolios.

14
Konkrete Information Memorandum

Security token operations can be kept completely transparent providing investors


real-time continuous disclosures on how their money is being spent and a default
compliance with 3rd party audit requirements. All of these attributes make capital
markets more efficient, transparent and can lead to the rise of smart securities.

4.3 Utility tokens


Abbreviated as KKT, these are ERC20 tokens that power the platform. These tokens
are used as a currency to pay for various services on the platform including listing,
transaction fees, enabling distributed voting and powering the automated operations
of Security tokens.

15
5. Token economics
Konkrete Information Memorandum

We want to design the token economics to meet the following objectives for the
Konkrete utility token:

1. Incentivising early adopters

2. Rewarding long-term participants

3. Enforcing constraints on the founding team to avoid founder flight through


vesting and restrictions on sales of founder and advisor tokens

4. Predictable token supply

5. Avoiding steep fluctuations in price

6. Ensuring scarcity and value for the token without encouraging hoarding

7. Promoting the use of the token for the various activities it is designed to
facilitate

Early adopters and investors will be given tokens and shares in the company at a lower
price than is offered to retail investors.

5.1 Burning of tokens


The utility token will be used to pay transaction fees of all kinds, including exchange of
securities, AML, KYC CTF, access, listing on the platform, etc.

We want to ensure that the tokens are relatively scarce so that they command some
value. We aim to achieve that by putting a downward pressure on the total number of
tokens in circulation, by burning a percentage of the fees paid for each transaction.

In the early days, 100% of the tokens used for the transaction will be burned. As tokens
are taken out of circulation, the remaining tokens will likely become dearer as they are
required for paying transaction fees.

However, we cannot continue to burn the tokens forever, as that would lead to a state
where eventually all tokens get burned up or they become so expensive that they are
hoarded. This would cause the entire network to become jammed, as no transactions
would be happening due to the exorbitant token price.

Hence, the % burn rate will steadily decline as an inverse function of tokens burnt to
date, steadily approaching 0 so that initially, the rate at which tokens are taken out of
circulation is high, while eventually no tokens are being burnt. A maximum of 20 million
tokens will be burnt.

17
Konkrete Information Memorandum

5.2 Front loading of token


demand
The KKT tokens are needed to pay for secondary market transaction fees on the
Konkrete platform. The Company will give away tokens as bonuses to shareholders as
part of its share sale. These tokenholders can liquidate their tokens by putting them up
for sale on the KKT to AUD exchange, which we intend to set up within 9 months of the
completion of the fund raise.

Any fundraiser/issuer would have to prepay its secondary market transaction fee by
buying a certain number of tokens upfront on the KKT/AUD exchange.

The issuer attaches these Konkrete tokens to its security token, just like filling your car
with petrol.

Everytime the shares of the Company trade on the secondary market, a certain number
of the tokens get used up equal to the transaction fee. In order to keep its shares liquid
the Company will need to keep buying KKT. This is akin to paying listing fees on an
exchange, except instead of time the fees are linked to use.

Companies listed on the platform are expected to buy tokens in bulk early on to keep
their offerings liquid. This will front load the demand for the tokens and reward early
investors who have the token bonuses.

5.3 Long term money


supply
Only a maximum of 100 million KKT will ever be issued. But not all KKT tokens are issued
at the same time. After the token bonuses are given as part of the initial crowdsale,
65% of all tokens will be issued over a period of time based on a set formula. We want
to avoid steep price increases in order to preserve the utility aspect of the token. We
want the token to power the various activities rather than just hoarded to achieve the
highest possible price over time.

Hence, any time the price of the token exceeds an annualized growth rate of 20% new
tokens will be issued so that the increased token supply will place a downward price
pressure.

The combination of the burn and long term predictable money supply is likely to
ensure prices do not fluctuate wildly while still rewarding early backers and long term
participants.

18
Konkrete Information Memorandum

5.3.1 Ideal token price projection

The previous image is not to scale and only represents the ideal token price behaviour.
It demonstrates how the counteracting forces of token burn rate and long-term token
supply should influence token price.

19
6. Applications
Konkrete Information Memorandum

6.1 Unlisted property funds


ABC REIT is a major Australian Commercial Property funds manager. They run a
number of Retail REITs, some of which are listed while others are not. The ones that
are not listed have a higher cost of investor acquisition because they have to do direct
investor traffic themselves. Also the lack of liquidity means that investors do not find
the unlisted REITs as attractive as retail ones.

ABC REIT unlisted REITs have all the compliance in place to attract retail investors,
but the cost and compliance burden associated with listing them means they remain
unlisted.

ABC REIT can now list these unlisted retail REITs on the Konkrete platform and reach
a global investor base interested in property and moving their assets to a safe haven
country like Australia. In addition, the implicit secondary markets that are possible due
to the distributed share registry mean that liquidity is available as a default.

ABC REIT can go one step further and wrap their investment offer in a smart contract
to make the investment decision making fully transparent and give investors real time
insight into how their money is being spent.

6.2 Property development


Property developers are facing a funding gap and banks are tightening lending criteria,
meaning more equity funds are needed by developers.

Estate Baron has developed compliance and technology solutions allowing property
developers to raise the equity they require through creating a full retail IPO.

However, the success of these raises is limited by the investor reach.

With Konkrete, these offers can now reach a much wider global audience of investors
leading to more funds becoming available.

Also property developments have revenues typically only coming at the end, which
means investors have to stay invested for the year or more before they see any returns.
This lock-in means a number of investors who would have otherwise invested stay
away.

The Konkrete Distributed Registry serves as an implicit secondary market. The new
option of liquidity would mean that more investors are likely to participate in the
investment offers made by property developers and reduce the overall cost of capital
to them.

21
Konkrete Information Memorandum

6.3 Fractional property


6.3.1 Deposit crowdfunding
James is a 30 year old with a steady job and looking to buy a house. He and his wife
have $50,000 saved for a deposit. But they are interested in a $1 million property
which requires them to have at least $200,000 for a 20% deposit or $100,000 for a
10% deposit.

They list the property for consideration, the fund votes and releases $150,000 to them.
James offers a capital gain + 50% for a 5-year term.

In 5 years the property is worth $2 million so the equity of $150,000 should be worth
$300,000. However given that the offer was for 1.5 times the investors would be getting
$450,000.

Assuming it was an interest-only loan the total debt would be still at $800,000 which
leaves $1,200,000 as profits that can be split.

Out of this $1,200,000 the $450,000 would be paid out to investors as return and the
remainder will flow through to James.

This is superior to other fractional platforms where investors would have only received
the unleveraged return of $300,000 only.

Note that they system would automatically prevent bids of capital gain where the
potential promised return over the term becomes greater than the equity earned
during the period. So bids like 10 times capital gain would be prevented.

6.3.2 Equity release


John is a senior citizen who has finished paying his mortgage on his house. It is
currently valued at $2 million. John is retired and is asset-rich but cash poor. He is
considering a reverse mortgage on his house to augment his income, but is put off by
the potential for compounding interest. His advisor suggests releasing equity via the
fractional property fund.

His property is listed for consideration and he offers a 10-year option in which investors
will get a 50% share in the capital gain, using the option structure discussed before.
The fund investors vote on selecting the property and concludes that it is a good
investment.

The fund releases $1 million to John who can then use that money for his own purposes.

In 5 years’ time the property is now worth $3 million. But John passes away before the
10-year term is complete.

His successors can pay the $1.5 million due to the investors and keep the property or

22
Konkrete Information Memorandum

continue the option for another 5 years until it matures, at which point again the fund
may extend the option (based on an investor vote) or request a sale.

6.4 Non-property related


offers
The Konkrete platform may be used by non-property related offers as well. Businesses
in need of capital and hamstrung by their limited investor reach, as well as those that
find it too expensive to list on the exchange, can consider listing on the Konkrete
platform. Even existing listed entities may find that the Konkrete platform allows
them to access a much wider investor base while reducing their cost of compliance
significantly when compared to a stock exchange.

23
7. Revenue model
Konkrete Information Memorandum

We will make revenues from listing, capital raising, secondary-market transaction fees,
etc., from any security offering listed on the platform. We are also planning to set up
our own fractional property fund which will enable crowdfunding deposits and the
release of equity from existing properties, as described in the applications section
above. However this fund will be one of the several offers using the platform as a 3rd
party.

7.1 Return on investment


Participating investors will receive dividends based on the transaction and other fees
generated on the platform given their ownership of preference shares in the foundation
Company, Konkrete Distributed Registries. They will also receive Konkrete utility tokens
(KKT) which can be used to pay for various things on the Konkrete platform (Konkrete
Distributed Registry).

The Konkrete tokens are expected to be tradeable on a variety of Crypto exchanges


in around 12 to 18 months of successful close of the investment offer. In addition we
plan on wrapping the preference shares in Konkrete Distributed Registries ltd as issued
under this offer in the form of security tokens and list them on the distributed registry
being built.

This would mean that the preference shares will also enjoy some degree of liquidity.
Although the Konkrete tokens are expected to be more liquid given their ability to
trade on existing exchanges with large number of participating investors. The shares
on the other hand give rights to the dividends generated.

7.2 Comparative costs of


listing
The following numbers are from an actual listing made on the ASX for a public company
which raised $4.5 Million.

The total approximate expenses of the Offers payable by the Company were:

Items of expenditure Amount ($)


ASX and ASIC fees 68,000
87,000 - can be much higher if
Legal fees
they want them to be
Investigating Accountant fees v
Independent Experts fees 15,000

25
Konkrete Information Memorandum

270,000 - likely to be higher


Lead Manager fees than 6% when you add in all
other fees and charges
Printing, postage and administration fees 2,000
Share Register fees 5,000

As shown above the costs exceed 10% of funds raised. This figure can approach 15%
at times and often times substantial portions of these are paid upfront out of the
companyś resources prior to listing.

Also while ASX is considered one of the easier exchanges to list on globally, it still
requires atleast 300 ordinary shareholders and 4 Million Net tangible assets for the
Company seeking listing.

The above option is not always plausible for smaller fund raises, term limited offerings
such as property developments and other ventures which may have limited cash
upfront.

The Konkrete Distributed Registry platform can reduce these costs by more than half
and also make it possible for entities that were not able to list due to lack of investor
spread and lower assets to achieve liquidity.

26
8. Traction
Konkrete Information Memorandum

Of the 4 key things we need to do make the platform a success, we have already
completed the first 2 and have demonstrated progress on the third.

1. Compliance for making a retail offer

2. Technology to manage large numbers of small investors

3. Investor reach

4. Liquidity for investors

Via one of the founding partners, we have developed template investment offer
documents that can be used by any issuer to provide the details of their investment
offering in a clear, concise and effective manner to retail investors.

We have developed repeatable steps that automate a lot of the administration work
that goes into lodging a retail offer, reducing the cost of doing a full retail offer by over
10 times.

We have also developed a fully customisable SAAS product that allows any issuer the
technology to present his investment offer online on a fully custom-branded platform.
The technology also allows the issuer to manage the investors and keep them posted
on the progress of their investment.

And we have over 3200 investors already registered with us.

8.2 Future projections


While it is tricky to provide projections, especially early in its development, we have
put together some guiding figures around what we expect the transaction volume to
be.

We believe that there is no shortage of people looking to raise funds. The key bottleneck
will be how many investors we have on the platform, what portion of them end up
investing and the average amount one person invests.

Based upon that we are able to project the typical amount raised as part of the initial
offering. We assume a typical capital raising fee of 5% which allows us to project
revenues for capital raising.

We also assume a typical offer size of $1 million and a one time listing fee of $10,000
to come up with the listing fees.

Finally we consider the arbitrage investor or the day trader who would look to identify
opportunities where existing investors are looking to exit at below market value of
their offers and then sells it off to another buyer at a premium.

31
Konkrete Information Memorandum

We assume the typical hold period for each investment to be around 1 year, after which
the investor would look to liquidate their position.

Potential investors should seek professional advice as to the implications of ownership


of Shares in the Company. A change to the current taxation regime in Australia may
affect the Company and its shareholders. Personal tax liabilities are the responsibility

10.6 Current and future


shareholdings
The Company has issued only 2 classes of shares: Ordinary and Preference

10.6.1 Ordinary Shares

They are split equally between Estate Baron Crowdinvest Pty Ltd and Collective

47
Konkrete Information Memorandum

10.6.2 Preference Shares


All Dividends will be distributed 100% to Preference Shareholders only. Preference
Shares have entitlement to all the revenues of the Company. The Company has 30
Million Preference Shares on issue with the following allocations.

Wholesale and Private investors as part of this offer 3 Million


Retail investors as part of a future public offer 10 Million
Estate Baron Crowdinvest Pty ltd 7 Million
Collective Campus Pty ltd 7 Million
Advisors and Steering Committee 3 Million

10.7 Shareholder rights


10.7.1 Ranking
The Preference Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally among
themselves and ahead of existing Ordinary Shares with respect to any Dividend or
Distributions payments.

10.7.2 When will we raise more capital?


10.7.2.1 Core metric
The Company believes that its core metric is the number of unique investors investing
per month. The more investors the platform attracts, the greater its value. Having
more smaller investors is more important than having one large investor with a similar
total amount.This is due to less dependence on a single investor, andalso means that
these investors are likely to invest in the future,as well as likely to lead to more growth
through referrals.

The Company will raise more capital by issuing more shares only in 2 scenarios:

Growth and Scaling

If the number of unique investors per month grows by 30% every month for an entire
quarter, then the Company may decide to issue more shares to fund growth. In this event
the Company would seek a simple majority of all the votes cast to pass a resolution to
issue more shares.

If this metric is not met,the Company will need a supermajority of at least 75% of the
votes to pass a resolution to issue more shares.

48
Konkrete Information Memorandum

10.7.3 Voting rights


Preference Shareholders have the right to receive notice of and attend any meeting of
Shareholders but will only be entitled to vote in the following circumstances:

1. On a proposal which affects the rights attached to Preference Shares, to reduce the
share capital of the Company, to wind up the Company or for the disposal of the
whole of the property, business and undertaking of the Company;

2. During the winding up of the Company.

In circumstances where Preference Shareholders are entitled to vote, they may cast
one vote for each Preference Share held. For such resolutions, Ordinary Shareholders
and Preference Shareholders will have the same voting rights.

In addition, under the Corporations Act, any proposal that might affect the rights
attached to Preference Shares must be approved by special resolution (75% of votes
cast) of Preference Shareholders and a separate resolution passed by special resolution
of both Ordinary Shareholders and Preference Shareholders.

10.7.4 Meetings and notice


Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend, general meetings for
the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be
sent to Shareholders under replaceable rules of the Corporations Act.

10.7.5 Winding up
The Company has only issued two classes of Shares, Ordinary and Preference, which all
rank equally in the event of liquidation.

A liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Shareholders, divide


among the Shareholders in kind, the whole or any part of the property of the Company,
and may for that purpose set such value as they consider fair upon any property to be
so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the
Shareholders.

The liquidator can, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company’s
Shareholders, vest the whole or any part of the assets in trust for the benefit of
Shareholders as the liquidator thinks fit, but no Shareholder of the Company can be
compelled to accept any Preference Shares or other Preference Shares in respect of
which there is any liability.

10.7.6 Shareholder Liability


As the Preference Shares issued under the Prospectus are fully paid Preference Shares,
they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not
become liable for forfeiture.

10.7.7 Constitution
The Company is relying on replaceable rules for its operations. Adoption of a separate
Constitution can only be done by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters
of Ordinary Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. At least 28 days
written notice, specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution,
must be given.

10.7.8 Amendments to these terms of issue


Subject to complying with all applicable laws, the Company may without the authority,
assent or approval of shareholders amend or add to these Terms of Issue if such
amendment or addition is, in the opinion of the directors:

• Of a formal, minor or technical nature;

• Made to correct a manifest error or ambiguity;

• Made to comply with the Corporations Act; or

• Not likely (taken as a whole and in conjunction with any other proposed
modifications) to be materially prejudicial to the interests of Holders.

10.8 Risks
Investors should note that this offer is an early stage venture. A number of items that
need to be done to achieve the Company’s objectives are currently in planning stage.
While there could be a number of unknowns that crop up as the business progresses,
some of the important risks that investors should be aware of are as follows:

10.8.1 Key personnel risk


The Company depends on the talent and experience of the Company’s personnel as its
primary asset. Should any of its key personnel leave, this may have a negative impact
on the Company. It may be difficult to replace them, or to do so in a timely manner or
at comparable expense.

The Company’s ability to attract and retain personnel will have a direct correlation
upon their ability to deliver their commitments and achieve forecast revenues. The
Company has a formal agreement in place with its Directors.

10.8.2 Technology risk


The Distributed Share/Unit registry and governance platform the Company is building
while it relies on existing well proven concepts is a novel implementation. If the
Company’s technology team does not account for all the potential scenarios that

may occur and program for them then it could lead to bugs and defects which would
adversely impact the functioning of the platform as well as the Company’s ability to
deliver on its objectives. The same would be true if there would be coding errors even
if the scenario was accounted for. The technology infrastructure the Company is in the
process of building can potentially suffer outages due to hardware failures as well as
external hacking attacks.

10.8.3 Regulatory risk


The Company is building a platform that is geared towards providing technology
solution in the financial services industry. Securities offerings is a heavily regulated
space. While the Company believes that its current and proposed operations currently
do not require any special licensing cover, any requirement to the contrary will impose
additional costs in terms of time, money and effort on the Company to deliver its
objectives.

10.8.4 Inadequate funding risk


The Company is building a technology solution that is complex. It also needs to spend
significant money on marketing and operations. There is a risk that the funds may prove
insufficient due to improper appreciation of the work required by the management.

10.8.5 Inadequate demand


The success of the platform being developed by the Company is dependent on investor
adoption as well as from those looking to raise money. If investors and those seeking
funds do not use the system as expected then the Company will be unable to achieve
its objectives.

Konkrete Distributed Registry (KDR)
Also described as the Konkrete platform or KDR, this is the KYC Complete Blockchain
network on which the balances of the various securities listed are maintained. At its
very essence, it is a share or unit registry for securities on the Blockchain.

Konkrete Utility Tokens (KKT)


Abbreviated as KKT, these are ERC20 tokens that power the platform. These tokens
are used as a currency to pay for various services on the platform including listing,
transaction fees, enabling distributed voting and powering the automated operations
of security tokens.

Security Tokens (ST)


These are shares or units of a particular offering such as a Company or Fund represented
on the Blockchain. There will be several security tokens with each investment offering
having its own security token. Only a whitelisted address (whose holder has completed
their KYC) will be able to own a security token.

Before a security token can be issued, its issuer will have to create a compliant investment
offer document and lodge it with the relevant regulatory bodies corresponding to their
jurisdiction.

Konkrete Distributed Registries


This is the foundation Company that will own and operate the KDR. This offer for
Preference Shares is being made for this public company incorporated in Victoria,
Australia. The Company expects to represent its shares in the form of security tokens
and list them on the KDR once the technology is ready.
