National Commerce Exchange

1. National Commerce Exchange (NCE) Save cash Grow your business Gain new clients Turn excess inventory into profit

2. About NCE • Founded in 1980, the National Commerce Exchange (NCE) is a well-established organization that provides businesses with profitable and sensible solutions that satisfy marketing and financial needs. Comprised currently of more than 2,500 businesses that trade with one another for the goods and services they need, NCE has flourished to become one of the largest trade organizations of its kind in the country. • NCE opens the door to new customers, providing clients with additional marketing outlets for their brands. Products are sold or traded outside of existing distribution channels, creating new markets for future sales and increasing the volume of business. Adding incremental sales volume means maximizing efficiencies.

3. Put Barter to Work for Your Business • Barter or trade is a powerful tool that represents a solution for companies with available inventory or services. By accepting payment in trade dollars instead of cash, a business maximizes their efficiency by increasing inventory turnover or billable hours. Using the trade dollars earned, that company can purchase goods or services they want - without paying cash. • An NCE Trade Broker works with you to bring your company new sales and increased market share, to move available inventory, and to minimize cash outlay for everyday business expenses. NCE members accept an additional form of currency for payment and are free to purchase a product or service within the NCE network. • Clients of the exchange use trade dollars, instead of cash, to handle their transactions. National Commerce Exchange provides you with an alternate distribution network. You can charge retail value for goods and services in trade dollars, instead of selling them for reduced rates in cash or having them go unsold. NCE helps build your business by bringing you new customers and clients.

4. Avoid costly liquidations and marketing expenditures The NCE solution extends to overstocked, seasonal, and clearance inventories as well, and offers a unique and sensible opportunity for a company to exploit the profit potential in its price distressed merchandise. NCE will buy excess, slow moving, and discontinued inventories at a price that allows recovery for full cost-of-goods and some, if not all, of the profit margins in products that would otherwise be heavily discounted, sold at a loss, or simply written off. This merchandise could otherwise clog the distribution process and cause problems for a company's manufacturing and marketing organizations.

5. Maximize the profit potential of your overstocked merchandise Similarly, NCE provides the most economically advantaged means for recovering the value of a company's other under-performing assets, including, but not limited to, real property leases or ownership interests, trade claims, blocked currencies, used machinery, and other capital equipment, including corporate aircraft. We define under performing assets as assets whose book value exceeds their market value. NCE will buy underperforming assets at or close to book value.

6. Benefits of Trading • Barter Generates New Customers: • Expand your market and maintain your cash paying customers. This is incremental business – customers who bypass competing businesses to do business with you. • Barter Conserves Cash and Increases Profits: • Barter creates new customers because buyers are motivated to pay with their products or services and save cash. Most businesses prefer to trade and conserve cash. • Barter Moves Excess Inventory: • Retailers must keep their inventory moving. Each season, customers shop for the most current merchandise. NCE will bring you buyers to move excess inventory, eliminating the advertising costs and heavy discounting otherwise needed to accomplish this. • We can also coordinate the selling of your surplus inventory, while helping you obtain the best possible prices for your products. This allows you to maintain your current pricing integrity as well as upgrading your return on investment. • Increase Productivity by Filling Downtime and Unused Capacity: • If you are not at 100% capacity twelve months a year and can handle new customers, we can help you fill your idle time with new business opportunities. And now you will have trade dollars to purchase what you need.
