IPO Website: http://monoxon.blogspot.com Here you can find our weekly reports on profits. In the future we will be creating a website for ourselves that will track mineral usage, sales, and costs. It will project up to the minute real time data for our investors to see. This is being planned for the near future and will be ready as we get time to finish.
Chapter 1 - Summary of Monoxon Industries
Monoxon Industries will use POS and Station manufacturing to supply corporation owned 0.0 stations with supplies. Through our contracted deals we will provide certain regions with ships and supplies. Utilizing market orders and buy orders to keep the contracted stations supplied to the fullest. We will utilize carrier jumps for maximized safety and security of the equipment being taken into hostile 0.0 space.
Chapter 2 - Background on origins/idea/current business
The business is a new business, but contract deals have already been put into place. The carrier pilot is already prepared and we have secured a medium POS for manufacturing as well as plan on using a small POS for research and invention. We will also be utilizing station manufacturing to maximize our stock at all time.
We have a comprehensive knowledge of 0.0 space and have already prepared our first contracts to begin moving supplies into corporation and alliance owned stations. These alliances and corporations will remain nameless for obvious reasons.
We will maximize profits by using the best method of creation, either invention or manufacturing to provide our bondholders with the largest dividends possible. Constant adjustments will be made to adapt to demand at these stations.
Chapter 3 - Corporate Governance
The corporation will be run by two players, both who's mains will unfortunately have to remain nameless due to them being PvP characters and not wanting to put this corporation at risk. One is the carrier pilot the other owns the freighter. There will ONLY be access to the corporation by us, and our alts that will be doing the manufacturing and invention. No other pilots will be directly involved.
Chapter 4 - The Business Plan
What we will deliver: Tech I and II Ships BC and below, Fittings, Implants, Skill Books, and Rigs.
Obtaining Materials: Contract acquisition of minerals and the use of our Hulk mining alt.
Profit Margins: 20% markup over market price (subject to some variations and fluctuations)
Estimated Profits: 3 billion per month.
Movement Amount: We plan to do 30-40 carrier jumps a month into 0.0 space stations.

Edited by: Monoxon on 25/04/2007 02:30:58 Chapter 5 - Statement of Assets
250 Various BPO's Carrier Freighter 200 Million Isk
Chapter 6 - Full Disclosure of Risks
There is always an apparent risk when investing in a startup company. There is the chance that we could run off with all the money. However my main would be at great risk of losing reputation. There is a chance that we could lose ships, and all materials and a backup plan has gone into effect to prevent complete devastation at the price of losing a carrier full of materials, fittings, and ships. We will secure the corporation by putting money aside to cover any future costs and always have a surplus of isk substantial enough to cover the cost of a carrier and full loads to all of our stations.
There is also the risk that our stations should come under attack and halt delivery to these 0.0 stations. We will utilize empire trading to lower losses during this time as well as use alternate stations in 0.0 space inside the regions we have been given access to.
Chapter 7 - Full Disclosure of Main and Alts
Mains û extensive fleet, PvP, and 0.0 experience Very familiar with the politics and how living and maneuvering in 0.0 space works. Alts û 1 Carrier Pilot, 1 Mining Alt(Hulk Pilot), 1 Freighter Alt, 1 Industrial Alt, 1 Trade Alt
All mains and alts names are kept secret due to the security risk it would create by making them public. Releasing their information could compromise the business itself. We have retained Hexxx whom will be provided with all names and stations in which we will be conducting our services with. He will perform a background check and assessment on the accuracy of their backgrounds.
Chapter 8 û Exit Strategy
If something goes horribly wrong and the business must close and be liquidated; BPO's, POS', and ships would be sold to repay all investors. Additionally, all funds of the Corporation would be liquidated as well to make up for any difference including our personal gains.
Chapter 9 - IPO Phases, Dividends, Market Cap
Total Number of Bonds 6,000
Price Per Bond 1,000,000(Can be purchased in blocks of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500. No one character can buy more then 500 bonds.)
Anticipated Market Capitalization 6,000,000,000
Dividend Schedule Monthly
Maturity Time 8-12 Months(Estimated) Projected Return per Dividend Payment(%) Variable rate of return with 6% guaranteed.
Projected Return per Bond All profits will be split into a 25%/25%/50% margin. What this means is that 25% will go to the reinvestment fund to be used to buy back bonds. The next 25% will go to the workers. The final 50% of profits will go to the investors in a payment of Dividends equal to variable rate of return with 6% dividends guaranteed + principal(To be repaid at the end of the estimated term of 8-12months equal to the amount of the bond holders original investment.)

Chapter 10 - FAQ
Q: How do I know this isn't a scam? You don't, all I can ask for is your trust. We believe business operation has a huge chance for gain. It is high risk, but I promise you all proper steps have been taken to ensure safe transit. With that I have gone to great lengths on my main with these corporations and my name is at risk with them. If I scam someone they will know.
Q: How do you know you'll be successful? As a long time resident of 0.0 space and an active PvP pilot, I have first hand experience with the difficulty in quickly and conveniently obtaining items from 0.0 stations.
Q: Why are you doing this? I've been involved in many forms of the game and now want to experience the business side of things.
Q: Do you intend to have an audit done at some point? I will be acquiring the services of EMFi for auditing and have hired Hexxx for a preIPO consultation. All steps are being taken to ensure this is a safe and successful IPO.
Q: What's your background? We have been PvPing and playing EVE for a long time and using that experience to take a foray into the business world and provide PvPers with what they need.
Q: Will you ever buy back bonds? We will take 25% of all profits and put that into a reinvestment state. During this time the 25% will not be spent. It will continue to accumulate until 25% of our monthly profits have grown to and equal the value of our initial investment. At that time we will repay all bond holders a sum equal to the amount of their initial investment. During the time that our reinvestment money is being saved to repay investors, we will be using our own personal profits to reinvest and grow the business. On the first of every month we will buy back bonds on a first come first serve basis equal to 25% of our monthly profits for the previous month, and will be at the listing price of the initial IPO.
Q: Will you ever pay over 5% dividends? Yes we will be paying 6% or potentially higher dividends.
Q: What if someone War Decs Monoxon Industries? We will take all steps necessary to ensure your investment is safe and that we can continue our operations safely with little risk to ships or materials. We will be purchasing a spare carrier in the case that we do happen to lose 1 carrier so that operations are not hindered. We have also taken all precautionary steps to ensure that the operations will continue in the case that stations are taken over during war times by planning trade routes in high sec space. While we may during that time see a decrease in profits we will continue to operate. We have decided to keep crucial characters separated from the main corporation so that in the case we are war dec'd we can still continue to operate.

I have done the supplying 0.0 with stuff thing before, it is very profitable. A very conservative amount of isk requested, a carefully considered business plan, good returns and a market that I've worked in before adds up to a good IPO for me.
Good luck with it and I will definitely invest.

My participation does little to effect overall risk. My role is to simply help them plan and write the IPO, provide commentary on the business plan, and verify that the statements made are accurate and honest. =)
I just would like to point that out. Just because I'm involved in an IPO does not guaruntee that IPO will be risk free.
Historically though, I can see how someone would get that impression since EFS (my last public client) isn't doing too shabby at the moment.

Exactly my point. It values high to any investor that a respected person with high seniority can say good for the information displayed in the IPO. I see dozens of me-too IPOs each week, but none of them really catches the investors interest. Corporations and services like yours helps beginning corporations to get a good foothold in the market from day 1 - I can only guess why there are no more people utilizing your services. Are you sure you're not overcharging?  ___________________ Sortiario Communication Consulting - SCConsult Communication advisory service |

Just for clarification: You mentioned projected profits of 3 billion per month. That means based on your payout structure it is conceivable (if on target) that you could pay out a 25% return in that month to bondholders? Very enticing and worrisome at the same time. Is your 3 billion monthly profit potential overly optimistic? What is your conservative estimate? I understand the 6% guarantee but frankly if returns were consistently in that range or slightly better (say sub-9%) then your bond offering would be considered subpar compared to recent bond offerings. You are an unknown quantity after all on the investment scene.
In addition, you mentioned that you will be seeking auditing services from a trusted source. If you could get this person confirmed and in place with an audit schedule it would be a good sign to me personally in seriously considering investment in your company.
Not to derail your thread but we should quit referring to bond offerings as "IPO's" which are issuances of company stock. A minor detail not worthy of its own thread but calling it a bond offering would be more accurate.

You are correct about the IPO title. Technically it isn't an IPO in the traditional sense. I've also had some people argue that it's not a Bond either because of the return rate being linked to profit performance instead of being a fixed rate.
Yes, potentially profits could be skyhigh, however, the bottom line is that you are "guarunteed" a 6% rate of return per month. Time will tell what the average rate of return actually is.
Investors should use their own judgement on if this investment is right for them or not.

Agreed, the Eve capital raising security of choice these days appears to be bond-like in the company owner retains control and is saved some hassle of reporting etc that comes with being a public company. This offering is a bit of a hybrid of its own. This was my reasoning for requesting an auditor be put in place since dividends are tied to potential profit and little specifics were disclosed about the persons behind the company.

Obvious and elementary. Perhaps I want them to answer the question to get a feel for how confident they are in their business plan? Judgement is based on information and I merely asked for a little more to see "if the investment is right for me or not".

To your first point, I believe EMFi may be sought in the future for audit work. This is mentioned in the plan.
To your second point, the earnings estimate (3 billion profit in one month) is a rough estimate and the actuall profit may be much lower or perhaps even higher. It is difficult to say with certainty at this point so the honest answer I think we have here is "no one really knows for sure".
I'm aware that there is alot of speculation on the "realistic" rate of return in regards to this variable-rate bond. If I was investing in this (which I'm not due to conflict of interest) I would use the 6% minimum return as the key point in my decision making.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is you don't say you "may" get an auditor at some point. Either you get one set up, which is what I'm requesting, or you continue to say you may get one at some point. I would prefer it be done now since they don't have to do anything once they have my money. Is this a deal breaker? Maybe, but a response on the matter at least lets me move on with my decision to invest or not.
On the subject of projected profit, you don't trot a 3 billion a month figure out unless you feel realistically that it can be achieved. Like the "maybe we'll get an auditor line" it sets expectations that technically they aren't on the hook for but lead people to believe it possible. High expectations in order to make the sale it might be in the end. I understand a 6% guarantee, you say I should invest based on that. I disagree, 6% is a no-go, even 10% is a no-go for me. I realize all investments are a gamble, etc. etc. BUT, and this is key, do I feel the potential is there to gamble on that they'll do better than that? That is why I asked the questions I asked, if they get done or answered then I've at least done my due diligence before throwing in. If it only gets around 6% returns, oh well. If I simply invest and don't ask the questions on things I have an issue with and the around 6% returns occur, then shame on me. Edit added comment: 6% and 25% are miles apart. Somebody should be asking the question IMO.

I will be aquireing EMFi as my auditing service as I stated in my FAQ.. I will get in contact with them tonight hopefully and setup a schedule of audits and let you know what the schedule will be once i have a definate answer.
As far as the profits go, we took an average number of carrier jumps and took the sum that we would make off each carrier jump to come up with our estimated profits. We don't expect to reach 3b every month, but it is a very obtainable number and what we expect to average.

naphtalia/emfi hasn't updated the aatp blog/webpage since march 3rd. there's been dividends paid and major changes in the aatp corp, which should be noted on that site. http://aatp.blogspot.com/
the emfi blog/webpage hasn't been updated since january 8th. but that could be because they've just given up on trying to make profit. http://emfi.blogspot.com/
so, if naphtalia has time to be auditing... and yeah, it's none of my business about auditing, but i do own small portions of those two (now) mutual funds and lots of people own parts of said mutual funds. if naph can spend a couple of hours auditing; then, 5 minutes a month to update two blogs isn't unreasonable to expect. now is it?
just something to think about when looking for an auditor... ya know, how they customarily conduct their "normal" business(es).

Dear Monoxon,
Please do not bump this thread for selling shares. You should create a post in the sell oders forum to sell shares. This thread should only be about discussing the IPO.
