Back-Up
Strengths • Innovative & Useful product that could save lives (reduce blind spots by 98%) • First-mover innovation with patented technology • Have thorough knowledge about the market • Product could be adapted for other vehicles
Back-Up
Weaknesses • Limited financial resources & capabilities
Back-Up
Opportunities • International opportunities (deviation from the domestic plan) • Partnership with Kawasaki, the 4th largest motorcycle manufacturer in Japan
• Product can be adapted to suit other vehicles (sports & dirt bikes, snowmobile, SUV) • Growing motorcycle market in the USA • OEM would increase production
Back-Up
Threats • Vulnerable to better-funded imitators • OEM/Electronic company may buy company outright • Large OEMs, with a large R&D budget, could develop their own prototype of a MotoCam • OEM partnership reduces flexibility
Back-Up
Porter’s competitive analysis • Entry force: high – Many potential producers i.e. Sony and other electronic company – Technology is not complicated
• Existing competition – International : high due to more players – Domestic : moderate – In terms of product lines • Motorcycle: low • Passenger car: high • Commercial vehicle : moderate
Back-Up
Porter’s competitive analysis (cont) • Substitution: moderate – Other substitutions are available but products performance are not as good
• Buyer Power: – Distributor/dealers: high – End consumer: high (due to substitutions and availability of other brands) – OEMs: high (order in big lots)
• Supplier Power: low
Back-Up
Major competitors Motorcycles:* none Commercial Vehicle:* • Intec Video • Safety Vision • ASA- big player
Passenger Cars: • ASA-big player • Hitch Cam • Accele • Sony-big player
Back-Up
Why do not enter passenger car market? • High growth and potential sales but Intense Competition
– ASA offers variety of product line – Hitch Cam niche market – Accele produces a well-known flush camera – Sony big player and trend setter
• In spite great product, CyberSpeed lacks of financial resource to compete “should avoid engage in intense competition”
Back-Up
Other vehicle market –why not tab? • Jet ski and Snow mobile • Small market no economies of scale • Not have high need/demand due to nature of product
Back-Up
Why do not expand internationally? • Fierce competition • Attractive market are Japan, Europe and Canada • Require consider resource – Financial resource – Production capacity
• High risk – Lack of market knowledge – Difficult to develop distribution network
Why motorcam for commercial vehicle? • Less competitive than passenger cars segment • High stake when there is accident – Demand for rear visual system – Usually corporate customers less price sensitive
Back-Up
Back-Up
After market segment—lucrative ? • Estimated sales are less than supplying for OEMs • Difficult to penetrate because Cyberspeed brand name is not as widely known as others • High marketing expense – – – –
High cost per unit Distribution expense Advertising expense Network development expense
Back-Up
Why not sell off the company now? • Current value of the company is relatively low 2.4 M dollar • Within 3 years can build more value and finally can sell off at a lot higher price
Back-Up
Prospect buyers • OEMs • Parts producers in developing countries – Technology is in introduction stage – Patent value is more than in developed countries
• Investors
Back-Up
Sell off –What ? • Patents and technology – Old and improved version of motocams – New products
• Contracts with OEMs – Sales opportunity
Back-Up
Time period before the competition (4 years) • Usually car concept is launch before the actual commercialization around 4 years • Approximately time where competitors might be able to catch up with technology
Back-Up
Why partner up the Kawasaki? • Approach CyberSpeed • Deal is on the process • 4th largest motorcycle producers in U.S. – Contract size is suitable with CyberSpeed
Why invest in R&D if sell off company at the end? • Increase firm value – Core value is the patent and product development
Back-Up
Back-Up
Other alternative for long-term plan • International expansion • Tab into other product market such as snow mobile, jet ski, etc
Back-Up
Why not use venture capitalist? • Loan is the better option an venture capitalist because…
Back-Up
Why not outsource to Mexico and China later on? • Mexico and china will worth the investment only if there are very large volumes – Cyberspeed estimated to sell 28,000 units per year should stay in Washington
• Risk of imitator • Quality control problem • Other OEMs have already shown interested in producing in these countries • High transportation cost because we sell in only U.S. • After 3 years, the competitors will have more resource and economies of scale • It is not worth competing head to head with them
Back-Up
Why outsource? • Production is not the company core competency • Can put more resource in company’s core focus R&D • With larger production volume the company should outsource – Lower cost of production – Simplify company’s cash management – Reduce clutter in its office
Back-Up
If the deal with Kawasaki does not work out? • Approach other 2nd or 3rd tier motorcycle producer such as Yamaha • Worst case is to continue implement original plan final value after 3 years is 3.7 M dollars
Back-Up
Rcam • Continue market Rcam • In-house production due to small demand • Honda is the leader
Back-Up
Risk of focused strategy • OEMs undermines company’s flexibility • Risk of partnership – Terminate contracts – Depend on few OEMs (small bargaining power)
• Technology shift – Make CyberSpeed technology obsolete
Back-Up
Why not sell patent off today? First Priority -Seek potential buyers to acquire MotoCam’s patent -Will sell if offer value over anticipated market value ($10M - $13M) -However, unlikely to offer value greater than anticipated value of patent after 3 years current NPV = $ 2.4 M benchmark NPV = $ 6.4 M predicted MV = $ 3.7 M benchmark MV = $ 8.2 M
Rationale of Strategy -Increase value of CyberSpeed Technologies – to make CyberSpeed more attractive to potential buyers -Invest with “flexibility” can sell out patent anytime
Back-Up
Value based on Contract? • Perceived as Market Value is based on the cash flow generated from the contract • However, without patent, the contract would not have been established • Therefore, the basis of market value based on patent of MotorCam

Because original plan uses both in-house production and subcontract any excessive demand, we use weighted average COGS – 75% (in-house) and 25% (subcontract) Selling and advertising costs = 10% of sales (now we have to distribute and sell our product ourselves) Subcontracting expense ~10.5% of sales Transportation expense ~ 5% of sales R&D maintained at ~ 12% of sales Depreciation reduces ~7% of sales (higher b/c of in-house) G&A at 12% of sales Interest rate on debt =10% Tax = 30% Terminal Growth after 2007 = 2% WACC = 15% Working capital needs ~5% of sales
