17. 2.6 Industry Conclusion
• Technology constantly changes
• Subscribersʼ appetite for faster speed and more complex applications
• Voice is treated the same as other data packets
• The telecom equipment marketplace is highly competitive but specialized
• Access Network: Switch and core routing equipment (e.g., Samsung, Alcatel, Cisco,
Ericsson, Huawei)
• Gateways and Servers: AAA, HLR, App servers, etc (Telcoware sweet spot and
market leader)
• Handsets and Terminals: End-user equipment (e.g., Nokia, Samsung, Sony,
Ericsson)
• Standardization is becoming a central focus
• A fixed-mobile convergence creates complexity
• Mobile networks blend with fixed networks in architecture and standards
• A unified standardization effort is the only way to have these networks speak the
same language
• Standardization bodies from landline mobile and broadcasting are deciding on a
single standard for their networks to speak to each other
• Korean telecom market leads global telecom landscape in technology innovation and
implementation
CONFIDENTIAL 16
18. 2.7 Where do you Compete?
• Size and scope matters
• Access Network Components is crowded with multibillion dollar equipment vendors
like Cisco, Samsung, and Ericsson
• Handsets and Terminals is sold directly to end-users which requires breadth and
scale
• A Core Network Sector within this highly complex telecom industry provides the
sweet spot for smaller vendors
• Expertise matters
• Carriers (e.g., SK Telecom, AT&T, China Mobile) are the customers
• Technological leaders have the largest market share
• Technological leadership reduces switching costs
• Stability matters
• Carriers choose stable vendors to minimize switching costs
• Stable companies continue to innovate in the ever-changing technology space

26. 3.6 Why Leveraged Buyout?
Telcoware is an undervalued and under-managed enterprise
• Stable Cash Flow and customer base
• No Debt; Cash & Cash Equivalent 35% of Market Capitalization
• Leadership positioning to an incumbent customer base which is leveraging legacy
• Underperforming stock and earnings vs. KOSPI;
• Using cash flow to repurchase stock versus business and market growth;
• Increasing R&D budgets
• Not effectively leveraging cash flows and borrowing power
• Not expanding sales geographically in emerging consumer markets
• Cultural Korean protocol limits growth e.g., no debt

Portfolio driven by technology leadership not volumetric market gains
(in 10MM Won)
CORE REVENUE
Revenue analysis shows that Telcowareʼs core competency is in core network components;
#1 in technology patents and market share for these products in Korea; all products are
SS7 signaling-related
CONFIDENTIAL 27
29. 3.9 Revenue Model
• Revenue projected to grow on average 30% year-over-year
• Average contract size for Telcoware Products and Services is $3 to $5 million
• SK Telecom accounts for approximately 50% of their revenue base
• KT, LG, Daum and Naver account for the rest of the 50%
• By selling core products (which accounts for 90% of the revenue base today)
outside of Korea, Telcoware can accomplish this growth target on a conservative
basis
• There are over 100 carriers throughout Asia
• Key customers outside of Korea: China Mobile (China), Reliance (India), Tata
(India), China Unicom (China), and Bharti (India) and rest of Asia
• 4 new customers per year would meet the 30% growth target
• Morsetone already has relationships with over 25 carriers who are ready
to upgrade to a better HLR, AAA, and IMS
• The revenue assumption is a very conservative case scenario
• Additional upgrades and maintenance contracts would supplement core base
revenues by approximately 20%

31. 3.11 Operational Efficiencies
• Cost of Goods Model
• Currently, Telcoware has improved COGS to 61% of Sales
• There is an opportunity decrease this to an additional 10% of Sales
• Telcoware remains a “Made in Korea” vendor with all sourcing and labor from within
Korea which is about 40% more in labor costs and about 10% more in components
pricing
• By resourcing equipment components from same equipment quality sources in
China and Japan would increase COGS by an additional 5%
• Some core components can be manufactured in China with equivalent
engineering talent – an additional 2% cost improvement
• Headcount Analysis
• Remove redundant management layers
• Currently there are two layers of senior management between the Managing
Directors and Program Managers creating unnecessary overhead
• Replace layers of inefficient management with Sales and Marketing personnel
• Non-Korean, market based
• Executive Vice President will also bring seasoned sales professionals
• Reduce headcount with more efficient and effective partnerships and alliances

LBO is assumed at 25% premium despite a 30% premium calculation.
CONFIDENTIAL 35
37. 4.4 Debt Repayment
Telcowareʼs stable existing customer base is sufficient to repay LBO financing
• At closing of LBO, Telcoware will immediately pay $8.5M to extinguish bridge financing
to Morsetone
• First debt payment of $34.5M paid from cash and cash equivalents of Telcoware
• 20% of cash remaining on balance sheet
• ʻExpected Caseʼ Scenario
• Subsequent debt payments of $10.4M per annum to extinguish debt by 2015
• Cash balance covenant: 20% of cash reserves
• Interest assumed at 6.5%
• ʻWorst Caseʼ Scenario
• Assumes flat revenue growth
• Covenants remain the same: An additional 3 years to satisfy debt repayment, 2018

39. 5.1 “Filling the Next Generation S&C Gap”
• Today, MACH is the global leader in “TAP”- based settlement and clearing
• Accounts for over 150 billion records processed per annum
• MACHʼs 2008 revenue was approximately $1.3 billion
• Became the de facto standard by acquiring regional S&Cʼs
• Acquired market leaders in S&C outside of MACHʼs markets
• Active in GSM World Congress for standardization
• Currently evaluating standardization change for Next Generation networks
• Problem: MACH only owns the SS7 links and not the data file format for roaming
resolution
• Will need to begin from scratch to adjust to new standardization
• “TAP” format is for circuit-switched voice traffic
• Data roaming is currently being settled on a per Meg basis - inefficient
• Gap: everyone starts from scratch for the Next Generation settlement and
clearinghouse
• By embedding Telcowareʼs roaming gateway throughout Asia, Morsetone S&C can
become the standardization leader for the Next Generation S&C market
CONFIDENTIAL 38
40. 5.2 Steps to build Morsetone S&C
1. Incubate S&C division within Telcoware
2. Increase R&D headcount for standardization effort
3. Embed Telcowareʼs roaming gateway throughout Asia
4. Active participation and standardization efforts with 3GPP, GSM World Congress,
Wimax Forum, and IEEE
5. Relink SS7 signaling from legacy networks to Next Generation service networks
6. Spin-off during Telcowareʼs IPO
7. Build a global footprint outside of Asia via acquisitions
