Sales continue apace. There was an unreported (well, on this blog, anyway) dividend of 1b isk last month; it's included in "dividends paid to date". As of the payment of this dividend, ZERO. has generated 94.98% of its par value in cash, of which 90.23% (absolute; 95% relative) has been paid to investors.

I wasn't even here for most of the month. We've got enough cash-in-hand to restart sales in earnest as soon as my alliance redeploys somewhere; otherwise, I'll just start supplying local stations. Either way, next month will be better--not that over 7% is shabby for a month where I was only online for perhaps a week, mind you!

Results speak for themselves. There's probably another 100m or so stuck in deliveries hangars, but I CBA to add it all up. It's not getting added to NAV, it's just dividend that isn't getting paid this month, effectively. At Marodi's request, I've included per-share dividends in square brackets after the dividend numbers.

I think this sums it up nicely:

11.92% profits seem good? It gets better. That was 11.92% after I removed 200 million off the top for depreciation on a Raven Navy Issue (I bought it a few months back for 1b when I was running missions for the corp).

Furthermore, this is the 29th day of the month, and I last issued dividends on the first of this month, so this is a shorter-than-normal period over which to make profits.

Long story short, this is an OUTSTANDING month for Zerodot, and all its shareholders. This month's dividends brings the total amount paid out to shareholders to 5.314 million isk, or a bit over 44%.

Shares in TINY. are still available, and I could really use the capital. If you like ZERO., check it out!

That's how I roll.

To save my sanity, I didn't even bother to try to catalog the 100+ frigate and cruiser skillbooks sitting in 40+ different deliveries hangars. Consider them a "stealth" bonus to the base corp value. In a year or so, I'll round them all up, and there'll be an extra 100m on top of the regular dividend, or something.

Questions? Concerns? Take 'em to the Zerodot channel. This train is ROLLING, baby!

I'm hardcore like that.

Sekrits!?

Thanks for your patience! The additional dividend has now been paid.

Shortly after Revelations 1.3 came out, someone in Jita Local was trying to sell their data interface for 1.5b. Feeling it wasn't worth that much (and knowing I didn't HAVE that much!), I haggled him down to 1b. I pulled 400m from ZERO. and 600m from my wallet for this purchase.

With the help of a corpmate, we rapidly started Inventing, and made a fair bit of isk doing so. As he has now acquired another data interface and wishes to continue inventing, I won't go into details, but ZERO. made over 100m isk from this Inventing, and that amount will be rolled into next month's dividend.

Meanwhile, as ZERO. is not in the business of owning data interfaces, I was running an auction for the Interface in question. If the data interface didn't sell, or if it sold for less than 1b, the onus would have been on me to repay ZERO.'s 400m investment. However, I am pleased to report that it sold for 2b isk, and after paying ZERO. its share, I was able to issue a second dividend this month of 326,203,282.80 isk, brining the total dividend for this month up to 1,003,877,993.46 isk. Having paid out well over 8% in dividends, I was now able to take my salary for this month, slightly over 53m (I don't have numbers in front of me at the moment).

Two other developments:

1. Tinydot Reprocessing Investment Trust [TINY.], a sister company of Zerodot Schools, will be conducting its phase-two IPO on the 15th of this month. Watch the Market Discussions forum for details.
2. Motivated Prophet is now a recognized broker on the Eve Galactic Stock Exchange.
   

Thank you all for your continued support of Zerodot Schools!

You want to know why I said "partial", right? Right?

...

Well, unfortunately, I can't tell you :(. But there will be a second, supplemental dividend in 2-3 days. I'll post here when I can tell you the rest.

Edit: BTW, I won't be taking a salary until after this second dividend.
