Company Presentation
A few months ago I read an article that introduced a tiny company (market cap <$10M- note: market cap is the stock price X the number of shares of stock outstanding ) with an incredible opportunity in an untapped market. The company is Smart Cool Systems and they are a UK company that has a redesigned product that is positioned to lead the world toward a 15-40% energy savings for air-conditioning. The founder took the company back over and they redesigned their system together with sourcing its production in China, leaving them with cost reductions of around 90%! They have been installing systems all over the world and are doing it in a very smart way. They've installed over 30,000 system in commercial buildings.
It looks like they have their own in-house sales staff for the UK home region, but in other regions they are partnering with HVAC service providers. These partnerships will allow them to keep their staffing level low (and costs) while tapping into the existing customer base of these large service providers. It seems brilliant to me.
From their website, this is what they hope to achieve with their systems:
In addition, they can be retrofitted into current/existing buildings or installed in new construction.
This month they also announced the introduction of their home system ECOhome, which they say can achieve energy reduction in home air conditioning of 40%! Imagine the impact this small company can end up providing the world.
They have created an innovation for an area like air conditioning that has not seen substantial efficiency improvement in 20 years. And they a program that allows their customers to fund the installations from the energy savings the system provides over a 36 month period. You then directly see the savings in your monthly energy bill.
The stock trades in the US over the counter (OTC) as SSCFF. It's hanging around $0.05/share. Their latest earning press release noted that sales grew from $26,854 in Quarter ending June 30, 2016 to $261,784 in the quarter ending June 30th 2017; an increase of 875%! For the same quarterly periods, their operating loss was reduced from $419,697 to $211,881, approximately 50% reduction. Smart Cool looks to take advantage of growing global trends of companies wanting to reduce their energy usage, increase their green footprint and at the same time find new ways to reduce their operating costs. This looks like a trend that Smart Cool is fully positioned to serve and a potential $18B market.
As an investor, I'm always looking for overlooked investments that have great value propositions and Smart Cool looks to have a bright future. Check out their website and their company presentation posted there. You can also find good explanations for how they achieve their energy savings. Please do your own research and make your own conclusions. It's your money, not mine. But when I see an incredible opportunity, it just seems right to share it with others to consider.
Good investing
