Overall Budget:  This link take you to the Overall budget tables.  One is calculated at $100,000,000 and one at $250,000,000.

Marketing Budget:

Financial Assumptions:

Underlying Assumptions:

• Ultimate Earth will develop other products allowing price fluctuations in-line with materials and labor costs
• Sales invoices to be paid when units dispatched from factory
• Creditors paid 7 days end of month
• Each month's production is sold in the following month
• Factory operations will be set up in Florida (or Another Southern Start)
• Pay as you go has been assumed for income taxes

 Financial Highlights (Best Case Scenario):

• Cash positive in each year of operation
• Committed to R&D and expanding harvesting potential is based on 50% percent of profits going to G.O.L.D.E.N Technologies (a non-profit designed for R&D, achievement of humanitarian goals, and expansion of harvesting services.)
• Ultimate Earth cash surplus reinvested into continuous improvement of processes and systems, marketing and investment strategies, and payment of investor dividends. 

Grant and Other Funding Sources:

Through G.O.L.D.E.N. Technologies we will incorporate a 501c3 and 501c4.  Both will be non-profits, both will give tax benefits to the investors.  The 501c4 can lobby but the 501c3 can not.  The 501c3 has better grant potential, while the 501c4 has better political strengths.  Both organizations will look for "Golden" ideas to invest in.  G.O.L.D.E.N stands for "G"reen (environmentally friendly); Organizationally "O"rganic; "L"ean (no waste); "D"iversity of ideas; "E"conomically Sound; and "N"ew (Paradigm Shifting Ideas).  Funding will come from donations, tax benefits to investors, R&D funding from this an other projects, and Grants.  The following sites represent the types of organizations that provide grants for similar ideas.
