Description: NueOne™ Innovation "Strategic Innovation and Wealth Creation by Design” Thomas Edison's Menlo Park was called an "invention factory." It was there, in that New Jersey enclave, where Edison and twenty other innovators radically change the world. Edison’s guiding motivation was none other than success and profit. And succeed they did, for their remarkable inventions (and subsequent spinoffs) now touch every person on earth. We can recast the idea of Edison’s "invention factory" and bring the concept of Menlo Park into the 21st century. Instead of a village of workshops, a network of advanced computers will become our virtual laboratory. Creative minds will brainstorm new concepts and research their feasibility; New innovations will be modeled and refined utilizing software tools and dedicated team interaction. This collaborative, inventive process will be the essence of NueOne’s success story. Strategic Goal: In the spirit of Menlo Park, the establishment of NueOne Innovation, a research and development corporation, whose many innovations and discoveries will enhance the well being of humanity, as well as the wealth of our stockholders. Business Overview The NueOne business model will mimic that of Nature, with subunits as building blocks and components contributing to a larger structure. The main component and creative power of NueOne will be our Innovative Scientists and Engineers. They will have a twofold mission: First, the discovery of new products and services on behalf of external, outside customers. Revenue generated will enable NueOne to reach "critical mass" in a short amount of time, becoming a viable, self-sustaining business almost immediately. Government research grants and contracts may be sought and utilized, but the main focus will be Innovation and R&D services for private sector customers. Second, dedicated innovation on behalf of, and for the profit of, the NueOne corporation. We project that marketable discoveries will be routinely conceived and documented every work day. The best of these innovations will be further researched and transformed into revenue generating components or subsidiaries of NueOne. Eventually these will be spun-off into new corporations, via initial public stock offering. Since innovation is the "driving engine" of NueOne, our company has unlimited potential for growth and wealth creation for its stockholders. For all work, protecting our discoveries will be high priority. All inventions will be assessed for protection under state and federal trade secret provisions and when necessary, patents will be sought and registered. If a specific innovation does not indicate an immediate business interest by NueOne, then the new technology may be sold or leased to third parties for NueOne’s revenue enhancement. Projects currently in research include the following industry groups: Alternative Energy, Computer Software, Entertainment and Sports, Finance and Markets, Healthcare, Internet utilization, Retail, Others. Summary Business Plan and Investment Structure Business and Products NueOne Innovation is a fee-based business innovation, research and service company. Service contracts are continually sought with businesses to introduce innovation methods to their management and employees. Seminars and specialized workshops are conducted for businesses by our trained personnel. Our innovators also conduct product innovation and market research under contract for business clients. Computer software products, manufactured for sale to our business customers, are also planned. Additionally, NueOne will engage in continuous, internal research to discover new products and services to be marketed solely for the NueOne company. New companies born of these discoveries will become subsidiaries (profit centers) of NueOne. Once they become mature businesses, public stock offerings of these subsidiary companies will be used to enlarge the working capital of NueOne and pay dividends to stockholders. Shares in new subsidiaries will also be distributed as special dividends to NueOne investors. At present we have two subsidiary companies preparing to launch with more planned and pending. Capital requirements for these planned subsidiaries are about $275,000 each. NueOne Innovation is a start-up company with negligible current revenue. No long or short term debts are owed. Current assets are primarily office real estate and computer equipment valued at $450,000 and fronted on a major highway near Orange, Texas, USA. NueOne considers innovation and new business opportunities to be our ultimate business objectives. Other companies who narrowly focus on single products or services may decline if markets or technologies change. NueOne intends to be a diversified technology and development leader, creating new products and finding new markets favorable to our creative business plan. Our commitment to innovation will allow NueOne and its products to advance when others are waning. NueOne Capitalization A total of 100,000 shares registered and issued by our privately held company. Each equity share sold is valued at $250 per share. At present, external investors may participate in a partial or full investment position up to 45% ownership (45,000 shares). The balance of the shares (55%) is reserved for the founding owners of NueOne Innovation. Each share is allowed a vote for business governance. These shares receive priority dividends and options and are eligible for conversion to common stock upon NueOne’s Initial Public Offering (in three to five years). These initial investment funds will be fully retained by NueOne for growing the company and fulfillment of the corporate business plan. No funds will be withdrawn or loans granted for any personal or non-business usage. Abusive Short Selling Abusive short selling and "naked" short selling of publicly traded companies, by market manipulators, is a common problem in the stock marketplace. When NueOne Innovation becomes a publicly traded company, we intend to discourage this abuse toward our share holders. Promotion of the company and public relations will be a high priority. Positive news about NueOne will be promptly released to the public, limited only by applicable securities laws. Distribution of special dividends to all stockholders, such as new shares of spinoff companies, will help discourage negative manipulation of our stock value. Our goal is maximum share value appreciation. Sales and Revenue Potential NueOne Innovation is a start-up company in an economy that is approaching or has recently bottomed in the general business cycle. Established companies, which are our target customers, often view innovation favorably in difficult economic times. (Innovation can boost productivity or lead to additional revenue streams). It is our sincere opinion that innovation consulting services will be in large demand for years to come. Our expectation is that NueOne Innovation will have positive cash flow almost immediately and profitability within three years. Creation of our subsidiary companies will depend on many factors, including the pace of capitalization of the NueOne company, customer interest and the actual products inspired by our research. We believe the financial impact of these subsidiaries on NueOne’s growth will be profound and very rewarding to all investors. Debt and the Company It is our goal to keep debt exposure in the company to a minimum. While there are occasional circumstances where debt is necessary, extended debt financing is often a business killer, if markets or events should turn against a company. A company with little debt can weather financial storms for a longer time than other heavily indebted competitors. We prefer owning shares in a strong and growing company rather than a debt laden and weakened business. Consequently, NueOne will grow primarily with retained earnings, limited stock equity sales, and public spin-off of subsidiary companies.
