The information contained herein will outline the plan that the joint venture between The Group
and any potential Funding Source will be undertaking starting in the West African Geographical
Area known as the Economic Community of West African States. The plan will outline the
integral investment of the equivalent of One Trillion, Five Hundred Billion Trust Units in
whatever exchange format the funding source will prefer. (One trust unit is equivalent to 25.8
grains of AU).
The staging area for the economic revolution will be Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary
Islands, Spain due to the tremendous advantages the geographic location offers for dissemination
of the agricultural products processed and distributed from there. This summary will outline the
potential of these initiatives to be revolutionary in that they will solve many long-standing
problems faced in the region to be improved, as well as outline the advantages in encouraging
foreign investments, the security provided the potential investor(s) initial offering, and the long-
term return on Investment (ROI).
The feasibility of the agricultural aspects of the plan and the requested investment is
substantiated by a Study performed by qualified organizations in 2009. The World Bank and
the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations published the report in 2009 titled,
“Awakening Africa‟s Sleeping Giant – Agriculture”. This report details the how‟s and why‟s of
the bulk of our objectives and many additional factors that we should consider as well. In
addition, this particular report has been expounded upon as well by other organizations that have
added additional information. What these organizations have lacked, and the reasons these
objectives have not been realized, is our focus and have been resolved by our approach.
The brief business plan that follows this Executive summary will outline the current
offerings available to any potential investment source which is where we would like to begin our
endeavor:
1. Cacao gathering and processing
2. Coffee gathering and processing
3. Cashew Nut gathering and processing
4. Almond Nut gathering and processing
Executive Personnel and Objectives
Page 5 of 26
5. Similar processes for Oranges, Pineapples, Oil Palm, Mango, Rice, Cassava, Teff, Fonio,
and other products commonly used in the region will be developed along with the staples
mentioned.
Although the complete development plan needs to be formulated, it can only be fully
completed once the research and development company that we are partnered with can begin to
provide us with good, sound, definitive direction and perform the necessary tests and provide the
equipment necessary for the other phases of the plan. This initial phase will require 500,000,000
trust units to be infused and about 2 years for the initial mining to be performed and the debt
serviced. Therefore we are submitting this „preliminary‟ Development Plan and Executive
Summary in anticipation of such equity injection.
Please be aware, the complete details of the plan we have produced for the Development
of the ECOWAS is indeed proprietary and very valuable. No intrinsic details of the workings of
these plans will be discussed until a valid, enforceable contract is in place to protect the
intellectual rights of the creators of these plans. I pray all will be understanding of such.
Thank you,

http://ptrgad.webs.com King Allahsane Khalil Conté - Trustéé (571) 284-0774
This trust will be the lead entity for all operations of the Co-Operative Agricultural Development
INTL S.A. – A Canary Islands Registered Entity. The reason for this is this trust has been
formed under the free enterprise rules of Private International Law, exists under the rules
enforced by the Hague Convention on Trusts, and all relationships to the trust are by contract.
The advantages of this are endless, and the agilities as well. This trust will be registered in the
Canary Islands of Spain and all functions of this global operation will be headquartered from
there. The professionals necessary for the administration of the Projects will be hired on an as
needed basis, and the trust will represent the interests of the indigenous populations it serves.
Co-operative Agricultural Operations International S.A. – Santa Cruz de Tenerife
The Autonomous region of the Canary Islands has worked to provide the framework for
significant resources supporting industrial operations to and for the African Continent. There
are 700 Hectares of Industrial Property available on the Island of Tenerife for Industrial
Operations for the West African Region we intend to evolve. The economic platform the
Autonomous region has provided for this framework is advantageous as well. There is a
nominal 4% tax on funds provided within the framework the government of the Canary Islands
has created, which will further solidify the suggested operations. Ships employed by the
Operation will shuttle agricultural products within the first year of operations and will provide
additional funds for the expansion of the project, as well as a secure operations headquarters
independent of the regions being affected.
World Trade Development Partners - http://wtdp.webs.com
World Trade Development Partners will be a development organization organized under the
Trust outlined above in Autonomous region of the Canary Islands, primarily from the Granadilla
Industrial Zone, and will build and operate the servicing company(ies) which would like to
provide goods or services to the project. The trust will file as an unincorporated business
association in the Autonomous region of the Canary Islands for the purpose of contracting with
any entity in the related enterprise. As these entities contract with WTDP, their expertise and
experience will become a part of the overall portfolio, they will be offered a seat on the board,
attend meetings, etc. This will enhance the proficiency in which we will be able to apply the

principles to be introduced by the group, which will outline why this approach should work where
others have failed.
Global Trade and Development Partners - http://gtdp.webs.com
The ultimate goal of our endeavor is to make Africa, or the ECOWAS at least, responsible
participants in the future of food production and a beacon of hope and prosperity throughout the
world. This can only be done by providing the platform for our food production and the
products we prepare in our economic facilities to be traded on a global level. This will be done
herein and thus the reason for this partnership to be funded and progress. More details herein.
Nana Kweku Egyir Gyepi III/ Director – Courteous Success (GH) Ltd -
Nana Gyepi III is a divisional Chief of Ghana, West Africa and is the founder of the SUCARDIF
Association, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) created to relax the constraints and
alleviate poverty and financial suffering currently being experienced in Ghana and throughout
the ECOWAS. Nana Gyepi III duties will include representing the interests of Courteous
Success, Inc and Courteous Success (GH) Ltd as we development sound customer relations
and derive local support in the rural regions of Ghana. The Northern region, Upper West
Region, Upper East Region and trade with Burkina Faso will be very beneficial to our
agricultural operations due to the proximity of the Guinea Savannah Zone. These regions are
the focus for now and the technological approach we will interject.
Nene Akpotuso III/Officer – Courteous Success (GH) Ltd -
Nene is the tribal Chief of the family responsible in the Ada-Foah Area of Ghana, West Africa.
Nene has pledged the largest area of the Sangoor lagoon and much of the coastline of the Volta
region for sea-salt production and for food crops. We also have plans to expand the Volta
River for Fishing and general port activities that will support the salt industry and in time some
geological activities such as cement production from lime deposits, and perhaps some granite
operations for coastal defense or export. We have partnered with Nene Akpotuso and have
accepted His pledge to work closely with us as we further develop our development plan for the
area, as He has already worked diligently with us to this point from our conception in 2007.
Clement M Sowah/ Officer – Courteous Success (GH) Ltd -
Mr. Sowah is our Construction expert and will head all construction operations necessary for the
safe and efficient operation of our development initiatives. This will include the infrastructural
demands required for the operations as well as housing and buildings necessary for

management and labor operations. Mr. Sowah currently holds building permits and construction
license for all major phases of construction and maintenance of Roads, Bridges, Housing
Construction, Demolition, and etc. Mr. Sowah has decided to join Courteous Success, Inc and
merge His Company with ours once we are fully operational. We are happy to have him on our
team.
Ibraham Kourouma – Chief among the Malinka People – Conakry, Guinea
Mr. Kourouma is the Father-in-Law of :King,:Allahsane-Khalil,:Contè, a king of the Fulani and
Malinka people of Guinea West Africa. Ibraham Kourouma has given the first land to the King
for development of the project. The land is situated in Debele, Guinea and is in the midst of
tropical rainforest that commonly produces some of the products which will be the focus of the
agricultural operations detailed herein. The farms which will be employed to gather products
already being produced and transferred to the Canary Islands Operations Headquarters will be
gathered from this region, and is expected to expand to at least 1,000 farms in the first 2 years,
and operations permit.
Ameriguin Enterprises S.A.R.L. – Guinea West Africa
Ameriguin Enterprises, headed by Fanta Oulen Kourouma-Perkins is a Society Limited doing
construction and other trade related business in Guinea, West Africa. It‟s principle purpose is to
exploit construction and other technical operations of the West and introduce them into Guinea
Society. The primary resource for the Society is training in Safety and hygiene relative to the
advanced industrial practices and to deal with the ebola, and malaria as well as other health
problems in the rural regions. For this purpose, the Society Limited will be providing Food
Security to the regions as a part of the group by supplying refrigeration technologies for food
and vaccines. These and other health related enterprises will be budgeted along with the Co-
operative Agricultural Operations in regional areas of Guinea to be affected.

Background

Page 11 of 26
For more than four Hundred Years Africans were taken against their will as slaves to
faraway lands. Although this was often done at the behest of their own people or by different
tribes, the damaging results are the same. The illegal slave trade left Africa without the
strongest backs and the brightest minds. Centuries of this activity has resulted in rundown
conditions, extreme poverty, and insufficient infrastructure for social advancement, though the
technologies exist for good.
These are the conditions we intend to resolve for the betterment of the region and our
posterity. We believe Africa‟s development is paramount for the world at large.
Ghana is the most socially and democratically advanced region of West Africa. It is pre-
dominantly English speaking after being under British rule until 1957. Ghana has evolved into a
state of stability and governmental adaptation paramount to other African nations, and has
privatized most of its business functions to encourage foreign investment and trade. We believe
Ghana is the perfect place to start our development initiatives.
Agricultural Project Proposal
Introduction
Ghana‟s potential for agricultural production is immense and we believe that this potential is not
being realized. The eastern region of Ghana, which is the primary region for agricultural
production because of its environment and soil characteristics, we believe, will be highly
supportive of various crop productions on a commercial scale. There are also plans for similar
projects in the western and northern regions of Ghana.
Government Departments involved
 Ministry of Agriculture
 Ministry of Water Resources, Works, and Housing
 Local district assembly-Agricultural Officers
Our Participation
 Research and Development of viable processes
 Implementation of approved processes for training and development
 Management and Supervision of Implemented plans until they are completed or
purchased
Requirements from Local Government Authorities
Executive Personnel and Objectives
Page 12 of 26
 Documentation, information and consultation regarding procedures, processes and
regulations necessary to start and complete projects.
 Project endorsement by traditional ruling parties
Members of the project management team have been in Ghana acquiring this information and
documentation.
The Project
The Project will begin with the harvesting of cacao, coffee, cashews, almonds and other
precious commodities from farms that already are producing these valuable commodities but
currently are not processing the products for the readily available markets, locally, regionally, or
internationally. This will provide much of the capital necessary for the other developmental
stages of the Project and our Business Plans. The funds necessary for start-up of the project
will support this phase fully and will be repaid from the proceeds, re-evaluation of the projections
will be completed after the first year and any adjustment in the proposal will be made at that
time.
Within the first ten years, detailed development plans will be established within the ECOWAS for
at least 1,000 Co-Operative Agricultural Operations of about 50,000 hectare areas each
strategically located for optimization of the resources available to them. This will comprise an
estimated 500 Million Trust Unit investment to each „enterprise zone‟ with strategic alliances
with the governments established within each region. A budget will be provided for the
monitoring of the enterprise projects slated for each co-operative whereby the related
governments will be provided the tools to monitor and approve all related construction projects
within its relative jurisdiction. This will provide the framework for true and accurate government
for the people within the enterprise zones on a case by case basis. These 1,000 projects will
account for 500 Billion Trust units in the security of the 50,000 Hectares by purchase, or joint
venture agreement, the facilities design and construction, reliable residential areas for the
workers and urban populations within the enterprise zones, equipment, environmental
safeguards, and processing, distribution, sales, and marketing of the refined products.

Funding Requirement s
At this time we are in the Pre-Startup Phase. Sufficient data has been attained and the
preliminary research has been done to support the project phases that will follow. We fully
intend to begin operations as soon as the funding is in place. The agricultural operations that
have been offered for implementation by our research and development partners has indicated
to us that funds will be available to service the debt as soon as the facilities are in place to
properly test and produce the process for identifying valuable resources available from
previously unrefined areas. For this phase 50,000,000 Trust Units will be required. This will
cover the Research and Development deployment into the region, and provide the costs of the
equipment to begin preliminary operations. This financial influx will be repaid within two years of
beginning operations and the extended and expanded agricultural operations themselves will
cover the costs of the development plan and capital requirements for additional phases. The
additional Phases of this project are agricultural in nature and will help to fulfill the millennium
challenge goals outlined by entities concerned with this region. Our Projections involve the
production of:
o Development of Secure Processing and Transportation of Resources-Canary Isles
o Oil Palm Processing (Hybrid Tenera) (Human Consumption and Energy)
o Mangifera indica (mango) Processing (Human Consumption and Energy)
o Cacao, Coffee, Almond, and Cashew Production & Refining
o Traditional Farming (Corn, Maize, Rice, Cotton, Cassava, Sugar) Productions
o Aquaculture Farming using advanced farming techniques.
o Infrastructure Demands and necessary supporting training facilities
Infrastructure demands are estimated to be the most costly of the investments. Each Co-
Operative will be responsible for the infrastructure it needs to provide the agricultural product it
produces to the market identified for distribution under internationally recognized requirements.
For this purpose each Co-Operative will be allotted and additional 500 Million Trust units for
construction of the infrastructure required for realization of these goals, and will be required to
issue bonds under the Seal of the respective co-operative for repayment of the investments,
with reasonable interest. This will account for the additional 500 Billion Investment requested
on a draw down schedule developed in accord with the investor.
Total Requested: One Trillion Five Hundred Billion Trust Units (One Trust
Units = 25.8 Grains of AU) (Example – One troy ounce of Gold is 480 grains. If Gold is trading
at 1000 GB Pounds, One grain is 1000 divided by 480 = 2.08333 Pounds times 25.8 equals
53.75 Pounds. In this example: One Trust units converts 53.75 GB Pounds to a usable
commodity for future generations to use and thrive.)

Development of Secure Processing of Investment Resources – Granadilla Industrial Zone
Oil Palm Processing
This involves the planting, harvesting and processing of Oil Palm trees currently being mass
produced in tropical forests in Ghana, and the processing of the Palm Nut to extract its oil for
pharmaceutical, medical, industrial and domestic uses.
The Oil Palm tree is a native of tropical West Africa where wild types exists in the lowland
forest areas. The hybrid Tenera tree was developed in the 60‟s through Malaysian interests and
was introduced to West Africa. Although the main centre of origin of the oil palm was West
Africa, it has become widely distributed in the tropical zones of South America, Indonesia,
Malaysia, and many parts South East Asia. It grows well between latitudes 13 degrees north
and 12 degrees south of the equator. In West Africa the main oil palm belt runs through the
southern latitudes of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria and Cameroon. The equator
itself runs through the heart of Tema, Ghana.
Types of Oil Palm Available: 3 Varieties
1) Dura
2) Pisifera
3) Tenera is a Hybrid of both the pervious varieties
The Tenera variety has been chosen for our project because this variety is most suitable for
commercial production. Also the Oil Palm Production Board of Ghana has focused on the mass
production and implementing of large scale farms for the preceding three years. The resulting
opportunity will provide the accumulation of several production processes readily availing fresh

fruit bunches by the time we get our processing facilities in place. This will be further outlined in
our financial section.
Traditional Mango Processing
Mangoes are currently processed at two stages of maturity. Green fruit is used to make
chutney, pickles, curries and dehydrated products. The green fruit should be freshly picked from
the tree. Fruit that is bruised, damaged, or that has prematurely fallen to the ground previously
could not be used. Ripe mangoes are processed as canned and frozen slices, purée, juices,
nectar and various dried products. Mangoes are processed into many other products for home
use and by cottage industry.
Mango processing presents many problems as far as industrialization and market
expansion is concerned. The trees are alternate bearing and the fruit has a short storage life;
these factors make it difficult to process the crop in a continuous and regular way. The large
number of varieties with their various attributes and deficiencies affects the quality and
uniformity of processed products. The lack of simple, reliable methods for determining the stage
of maturity of varieties for processing also affects the quality of the finished products. Many of
the processed products require peeled or peeled and sliced fruit. The lack of mechanized
equipment for the peeling of ripe mangoes is a serious bottleneck for increasing the production
of these products. All of these hurdles give our project increase validity because the hurdles
previously precluded the uses of a readily available source of income for the region.
Mango Processing Proposed
We propose using the mango for energy as well as for food. As you can tell in the
pictures below, mangoes grow well, thriving in the tropical environment in Ghana and as far
north as Mali in Sub-Saharan West Africa.
Figure 1 Fresh Fruit on the tree Figure 2 Is left to rotten on the ground
Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS
Page 16 of 26
Most of the valuable fruit falls to the ground and rots year after year, adding to the world‟s
environmental concerns. We propose using the fruit to make ethanol and using the nut to make
bio-diesel, encouraging economic viability and helping in alleviating global warming in the
process. And this can be done with fruit that has fallen prematurely or even over-ripe fruit.
General Information About The Canaries
The Canaries form an archipelago made up by seven main islands, located in the Atlantic
Ocean near the Tropic of Cancer, near the African coast of Western Sahara. The islands stretch
in an East-West 500 Kms arch. The latitude of the Canaries is in the subtropical zone, being the
same as that of Orlando, Florida. The climate of the Canaries, however, is tempered by the
surrounding ocean.
The Canary Islands are an integral part of Spain; this has been so for more than 500 years, and
a huge majority of Canarians have confirmed their status repeatedly over time. The language of
the Canaries is Spanish (Castilian), but the accent is more like the Spanish spoken in the
Caribbean.
The Canaries form an "Autonomous Community" within the Kingdom of Spain. The islands have
their own Government, Parliament and Administration, established by the Statute of Autonomy
of the Canary Islands. The Canarian fiscal and economic system is different from the general
Spanish one, which is in force in the major part of the Mainland.
As a part of Spain, the Canaries are also part of the European Union. However, the islands
enjoy some exceptions in the fiscal and economic area.
The currency in the Canary Islands is the euro, as in Spain.
The Parliament of the Canaries is in Santa Cruz de Tenerife; the delegation of the Spanish
Government in the Canaries is in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with a sub-delegation in Santa
Cruz de Tenerife; the Supreme Court of Justice of the Canarie is in Las Palmas de Gran
Canaria.
The Supreme Court of Justice exercises the judicial power. Appeals against its resolutions are
to the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of Spain.
Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS
Page 17 of 26
The Special Tax Regime (REF)
Although mainland tax regulations apply in the Canaries, companies operating there are also
eligible for special tax incentives (the Special Tax Regime or REF). Key features of the REF are
as follows:
 VAT is not applied in the Canary Islands; instead there is a specific Sales Tax (IGIC)
which has a general rate of 5%. In addition to increased and reduced rates of IGIC, there
is a zero tax rate for certain basic need products and services (eg telecommunications).
 Exemptions from duty on capital increases.
 The use of undistributed profits to reduce the taxable base provided that the amounts
concerned are invested within three years in certain qualifying fixed assets or public
stock.
 Enhanced tax credits for various types of investment.
The Special Economic Zone (ZEC)
The Canary Islands Special Zone has been created within the fiscal and economic regime of the
Canary Islands for the purpose of encouraging the economic and social development of the
islands and the diversification of their manufacturing and service sectors.
The ZEC was initially The Canary Islands Special Zone authorised by the European
Commission in January 2000.
In early 2006, the Department of Economic Affairs and Finance of the Canary Islands
Government suggested the introduction of improvements to the Canary Islands Economic and
Fiscal Regime, including the extension of the time frame of the low tax zone beyond 2008 of 25
years for companies in the service sector and 50 years for companies operating in the industrial
sector.
In addition, a suggestion has been made for solving the problems related to double taxation on
profits. This modification aims to make the ZEC a real stimulus for attracting companies with
newly-created economic activity. At present, companies with their head office in mainland Spain
are subject to double taxation on profits, which makes it difficult for them to set up in the low tax
zone.
Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS
Page 18 of 26
Following the announcement of an extension in December 2006, the benefits provided by the
ZEC will initially be available until December 31, 2019, although this may be further extended if
the European Commission authorises it.
Any company intending to carry out manufacturing, commercial or service activities within the
territory of the Canary Islands may register in the ZEC; financial services are excluded.
Permitted manufacturing, processing, handling and goods distribution activities include:
 Fishing;
 Food, beverages and tobacco;
 Clothing;
 Leather goods and footwear;
 Furniture and related products;
 Paper, publishing, graphic arts and reproduction of recorded material;
 Building materials;
 Machinery and mechanical equipment;
 Electrical, electronic and optical materials and equipment;
 Chemicals;
 Recycling;
 Wholesale and distributive activities;
 Packaging, bottling and canning
Permitted service activities include:
 Transport and related activities;
 IT;
 Natural resources and waste disposal;
 Telecommunications;
 Advertising;
 R + D;
 Education and Training;
 Consultancy;
 Legal and fiscal services;
 Other services
Service companies registered under the ZEC may be set up in any part of the Canary Islands.
Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS
Page 19 of 26
Production, processing, handling and distributive activities must be located in certain
Designated Areas at:
 On the island of Grand Canary
 The Port of La Luz and Las Palmas
 Gando Airport
 The Arinaga Industrial Estate
 On the island of Tenerife:
 The Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife
 Los Rodeos and Reina Sofía Airports
 The Granadilla Industrial Estate
There are Designated Areas on each of the other Canary Islands.
Any Company wishing to set up in the ZEC must satisfy a number of requirements, of which the
most important are:
 A ZEC Company must be newly incorporated;
 At least one of the persons authorised to manage and act on behalf of the Company must be
resident in the Canary Islands;
 A ZEC Company must make an investment of at least EUR100,000 (EUR50,000 in some
locations) in fixed assets related to the activity within the first two years subsequent to
authorisation;
 A ZEC Company must employ at least five persons (reduced to three in some locations) in
the ZEC area within the first six months subsequent to authorisation and must retain this
number of employees, on average, throughout its lifetime;
 A ZEC Company must present a description of its activities, with particular mention of its
economic viability, international focus, contribution to the economic and social development
of the Canary Islands and solvency.
Taxation Of ZEC Companies
ZEC companies enjoy the following tax benefits:
 Corporation tax (levied in Spain at 30%) is charged at 4% on profits derived from ZEC
activities. The rates depends on:
o Net creation of employment;
Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS
Page 20 of 26
o The period of inclusion in the Register of ZEC Companies;
o Whether the activity is new or pre-existing;
o The type of activity
 ZEC companies are exempt from Capital Transfer Tax and Stamp Duty in the following
circumstances:
o Purchase of goods and rights for the conduct of the business activity of the ZEC
company within the geographical area of the ZEC;
o Company operations except liquidation;
o Stamp duty on documents connected with the company‟s operations in the
geographical area of the ZEC
o ZEC companies are exempt from Canarian Indirect General Tax (Canarian Sales
Tax) on delivery of goods and provision of services from one ZEC Company to
another, and on imports.
o International Double Taxation Treaties and the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive:
 The Canary Islands are an integral part of the territory of Spain and the European Union.
Therefore ZEC companies may take advantage of Double Taxation treaties signed by
Spain and the EU‟s Parent-Subsidiary Directive. ZEC Companies are not obliged to
deduct tax from payments for tangible assets made by them.
Traditional and Customary Farming
Vast amounts of square hectares lay untilled in all states of the ECOWAS. This land is
very fertile and is under the control of the traditional families who have the land through their
ancestors. The government(s) has not been able to provide guidance and resources to the
people for the agricultural development and have, in the case of Ghana, opened the areas up to
privatization to encourage the influx of investment dollars and modern technology into the
regions. Here in lies our unique opportunity. Because the land is virgin and large scale
application of chemical based fertilizers and pesticides have not been introduced, we could
encourage the production of organic grains and produce from these lands. Helping to alleviate
hunger by encouraging economic use of the land rather than offering a hand out to the people

Implementing Cooperative Farming
Because the protection of the invested capital and the return on investment is so crucial,
we believe the Co-operative business model that has proven extremely successful in
industrialized countries is imperative. A co-operative is a commercial body built upon the
business structure which is both accountable and durable. We intend to promote the
implementation of cooperatives upon a predetermined scale to interject the investment(s) into a
practical and document-able system. This process will encourage the training of the local
human resource, provide for the safe and efficient use of the modern equipment presented to
the region, provide a unified voice to the local farmer no matter the scale of their individual
operation, and provide support for the exposure of the products produced to the international
market to ensure best rate of return. And all this will be accomplished in a repeatable and easily
update-able fashion throughout the region, an example answering many proposed problems.
Co-Operatives are proven to build Co-Operatives are the roots of civilization
Products that can be produced through Agriculture
Through our projected business model, many agricultural products can be produced,
processed, packaged, and distributed. All will be done through the co-operative models we have
proposed and the investment and return recaptured with minimal risk to the investor.
Agreements situated and secured before the investment ever is introduced will be provided
between the Governments in power, the traditional land owners, and the investing public. These
safeguards can and will be insured through international entities such as the Export/Import
Bank. This will insure the investments against anything from social uprising(s) to government
coupe(s). In the unlikely event of such an occurrence since it is believed that such uprisings are
not simply cultural but a direct result of the living conditions we intend to effect.
Some of these productions will include ideas such as the following:
 Corn grown and refined into staple products used every day in the industrialized world
will be refined and packaged on site using the cooperative system. Also others such as:

o Maize, rice, cotton, soybeans, Castor
o Cassava, potatoes, sugar beets, plantain, banana
o Groundnuts, cashews, almonds, coffee, cocoa, sun flowers, etc., etc, etc.
Answering the demand for infrastructure
How do we provide Infrastructure? And more importantly, how do we pay for it? Two
Questions that have been confronted many times without resolve, but also one that we intend to
promote and resolve during the course of this presentation, and at the hopeful conclusion, to
address it as such once and for all. Ironically the answer lies in the same condition as the
question answered heretofore. The answer is in the land itself, lying waste along with the lives
of the people that own it.
The Co-operative Agricultural Operations International will be responsible for identifying
construction techniques adaptable to the environments they are assigned and providing
technical training, modern resources, and equipment to the human resources available within
the geographic regions they are assigned. This will provide the framework for self-sustaining
infrastructure construction and economic security simultaneously, transforming the region from
a vast wasteland with no GDP interactions to viable and productive economic infrastructures
virtually overnight.
Infrastructure Technology and Resource Management
How do we go in to the powerless regions of West Africa, build modern roads and
bridges, tunnels and railroads trestles, provide engineering products and everything that is
necessary and pay for it all? Good question and we think we have the answer. The same
concept for BOT that we described in the previous section is applicable here. We can go in
using nominal start-up capital, and produce the resources for the renovation of the region,
update it with modern highways, overpasses, tunnels and access roads through the BOT
method. By gaining the rights to the thoroughfares we can build toll roads that will be used only
by paying travelers and account for every penny we have invested or controlled until a buyer
comes along. We can then recoup the full investment plus any gain we deem viable. At which
time we leave the area more beneficial to the inhabitants and hopefully do the same thing
somewhere else in the world until we have accomplished our agreed upon goals.
One of the big concerns for the successful operation of our development initiative is the
infrastructure of the countries we plan to effect. Some of those concerns are to be mentioned
Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS
Page 23 of 26
here, and as is our model so is the solution to the problem. Once we have identified a region
that we would like to develop using our Appropriate Technology, we will institute the following
products and processes to relieve concerns.
1) The bad conditions of roads and lack of bridges, overpasses over low lying areas, and
just generally bad driving conditions for all motorists. The Solution:
Our High specification concrete batching system
We will work with the governments in the areas where our technologies will be introduced to
develop roads, bridges and overpasses using the proprietary concrete batching systems
provided by our development partners. Through these technologies we have exclusive rights
to their remarkable system throughout the ECOWAS. And it is revolutionary.
2) The unsafe housing and sanitary conditions in the region is not feasible for human
existence. Our system of Research and Development will provide intense and localized
development of safe and sanitary housing and will allow us to assist our local partners to
pay for the development as they receive their portion of the proceeds of the operation.
Systems such as Insipit Africa,
Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS
Page 24 of 26
3) Installed with the sanitary solution –„the waterless toilet‟ system will be key institutions.
We have the rights to the waterless toilet and other sanitary products in the region, which will
make us the green friendly, energy and resource conscientious leaders in the industry and the
region. This waterless, chemical free, environmentally friendly sanitation aid is just the thing for
the developing region. And we will manufacture the toilet and the installation will more than
likely extend well beyond our project adding to the companies‟ bottom line tremendously in my
opinion.
4) The production facilities we will be putting in place during the alternative energy
production/ economic development of rural areas of West Africa phase will provide
electricity and clean drinking water as a by-product of production. And because the
facilities are chemical based facilities, the additional incentive is environmentally friendly
as well.

Initial Phase Summary (Start-up Cost for 1000 operating entities)
Funding of 100 Co-operatives is estimated at One Trillion Five Hundred Billion Trust Capital
Units in Exchange Currency to be converted at the common rate at time of signing and funds
may be generated during a post-determined factor.
Equation 1 - The cost breakdown is estimated as follows:
Amount needed USD Purpose Resulting outcome Potential
350,000,000,000 R & D Facilities Plan and Apply Mining, Ag, Infra, etc.
500,000,000,000 Equipment Equip 1000 Co-ops Long term income
150,000,000,000 Operating Capital Operations to return Expansion
500,000,000,000 Infrastructure,Transpo
Construction
Highways, Rail,
Transportation
Move people and
resources
Project Funding Scheme: A treaty providing for the unity of purpose for the
establishment of the funding arrangement necessary has been developed and will accompany
this Executive Summary. Both the Shaykamaxum Empire and the Yamassee Nation have
agreed to participate in these project(s) with both funding and personnel in order to fully realize
these projections. The exact substance for the funding of the project(s) are proprietary to the
:Perkins, Thlton-Ray Global Agricultural Development Pure Contract Trust and is the intellectual
property of it, as such. Any other support or contract deemed necessary will be addressed
separately.
Commodity Bonds will be created for futures pledged to secure the investment at 20-30 year
periods. The procedure will go like this: The bonds will be created in lots of 250,000 metric
tons of rice, milled and bagged in 50 kg sacks available F.O.B. at port nearest production
facility. The ratio used to determine the actual value will be the Day rate for spot gold with 25.8
grains of gold to the dollar. For Instance, rice selling at retail for 41.9 cents per pound will be
calculated based on the spot price for gold of 1200 USD per ounce. One ounce contains 480
grains, therefore one dollar is actually worth 1200 divided by 480 which equals $2.50 times 25.8
equals $64.50. 41.9% of 64.50 equals 27.0255 US dollars per pound for rice, and 2.2 pounds
equals one kilo, or 27.0255 times 2.2 which amounts to 59.4561 dollars per kilo or 59,456.10
per metric ton. Using this formula, one contract of rice (250,000 metric tons) will amount to
14,864,025,000 USD (14 Billions, Eight Hundreds Millions, Six Hundreds Thousands, four
millions, and twenty five thousands). This is the equation that will be used to calculate the
bonds issued to the investor(s), and the equations stated on the bond payable in 20 years or 30

years depending upon the negotiations. Approximately 101 bonds will be issued to fund the
entire 1,000 co-operatives. The Contract Trust will negotiate 37 other transactions and the
resulting operations similar to this one, for a total of 38,000 co-operatives operating in support of
Global Agricultural Development.
This is the preliminary plan we have for further development. Our business plan is to procure
joint venture partners to help us achieve the lasting results we desire. Please inquire for
additional participation,

  • 4. Executive Personnel and Objectives Page 4 of 26 The information contained herein will outline the plan that the joint venture between The Group and any potential Funding Source will be undertaking starting in the West African Geographical Area known as the Economic Community of West African States. The plan will outline the integral investment of the equivalent of One Trillion, Five Hundred Billion Trust Units in whatever exchange format the funding source will prefer. (One trust unit is equivalent to 25.8 grains of AU). The staging area for the economic revolution will be Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain due to the tremendous advantages the geographic location offers for dissemination of the agricultural products processed and distributed from there. This summary will outline the potential of these initiatives to be revolutionary in that they will solve many long-standing problems faced in the region to be improved, as well as outline the advantages in encouraging foreign investments, the security provided the potential investor(s) initial offering, and the long- term return on Investment (ROI). The feasibility of the agricultural aspects of the plan and the requested investment is substantiated by a Study performed by qualified organizations in 2009. The World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations published the report in 2009 titled, “Awakening Africa‟s Sleeping Giant – Agriculture”. This report details the how‟s and why‟s of the bulk of our objectives and many additional factors that we should consider as well. In addition, this particular report has been expounded upon as well by other organizations that have added additional information. What these organizations have lacked, and the reasons these objectives have not been realized, is our focus and have been resolved by our approach. The brief business plan that follows this Executive summary will outline the current offerings available to any potential investment source which is where we would like to begin our endeavor: 1. Cacao gathering and processing 2. Coffee gathering and processing 3. Cashew Nut gathering and processing 4. Almond Nut gathering and processing
  • 5. Executive Personnel and Objectives Page 5 of 26 5. Similar processes for Oranges, Pineapples, Oil Palm, Mango, Rice, Cassava, Teff, Fonio, and other products commonly used in the region will be developed along with the staples mentioned. Although the complete development plan needs to be formulated, it can only be fully completed once the research and development company that we are partnered with can begin to provide us with good, sound, definitive direction and perform the necessary tests and provide the equipment necessary for the other phases of the plan. This initial phase will require 500,000,000 trust units to be infused and about 2 years for the initial mining to be performed and the debt serviced. Therefore we are submitting this „preliminary‟ Development Plan and Executive Summary in anticipation of such equity injection. Please be aware, the complete details of the plan we have produced for the Development of the ECOWAS is indeed proprietary and very valuable. No intrinsic details of the workings of these plans will be discussed until a valid, enforceable contract is in place to protect the intellectual rights of the creators of these plans. I pray all will be understanding of such. Thank you, /s/King, Allahsane-Khalil,:Contè :King, Allahsane-Khalil-Conte - Trustee

Executive Personnel and Objectives Page 7 of 26 The Management Team :Perkins, Thlton-Ray Global Agricultural Development Contract Trust http://ptrgad.webs.com King Allahsane Khalil Conté - Trustéé (571) 284-0774 This trust will be the lead entity for all operations of the Co-Operative Agricultural Development INTL S.A. – A Canary Islands Registered Entity. The reason for this is this trust has been formed under the free enterprise rules of Private International Law, exists under the rules enforced by the Hague Convention on Trusts, and all relationships to the trust are by contract. The advantages of this are endless, and the agilities as well. This trust will be registered in the Canary Islands of Spain and all functions of this global operation will be headquartered from there. The professionals necessary for the administration of the Projects will be hired on an as needed basis, and the trust will represent the interests of the indigenous populations it serves. Co-operative Agricultural Operations International S.A. – Santa Cruz de Tenerife The Autonomous region of the Canary Islands has worked to provide the framework for significant resources supporting industrial operations to and for the African Continent. There are 700 Hectares of Industrial Property available on the Island of Tenerife for Industrial Operations for the West African Region we intend to evolve. The economic platform the Autonomous region has provided for this framework is advantageous as well. There is a nominal 4% tax on funds provided within the framework the government of the Canary Islands has created, which will further solidify the suggested operations. Ships employed by the Operation will shuttle agricultural products within the first year of operations and will provide additional funds for the expansion of the project, as well as a secure operations headquarters independent of the regions being affected. World Trade Development Partners - http://wtdp.webs.com World Trade Development Partners will be a development organization organized under the Trust outlined above in Autonomous region of the Canary Islands, primarily from the Granadilla Industrial Zone, and will build and operate the servicing company(ies) which would like to provide goods or services to the project. The trust will file as an unincorporated business association in the Autonomous region of the Canary Islands for the purpose of contracting with any entity in the related enterprise. As these entities contract with WTDP, their expertise and experience will become a part of the overall portfolio, they will be offered a seat on the board, attend meetings, etc. This will enhance the proficiency in which we will be able to apply the

  • 11. Executive Personnel and Objectives Page 11 of 26 For more than four Hundred Years Africans were taken against their will as slaves to faraway lands. Although this was often done at the behest of their own people or by different tribes, the damaging results are the same. The illegal slave trade left Africa without the strongest backs and the brightest minds. Centuries of this activity has resulted in rundown conditions, extreme poverty, and insufficient infrastructure for social advancement, though the technologies exist for good. These are the conditions we intend to resolve for the betterment of the region and our posterity. We believe Africa‟s development is paramount for the world at large. Ghana is the most socially and democratically advanced region of West Africa. It is pre- dominantly English speaking after being under British rule until 1957. Ghana has evolved into a state of stability and governmental adaptation paramount to other African nations, and has privatized most of its business functions to encourage foreign investment and trade. We believe Ghana is the perfect place to start our development initiatives. Agricultural Project Proposal Introduction Ghana‟s potential for agricultural production is immense and we believe that this potential is not being realized. The eastern region of Ghana, which is the primary region for agricultural production because of its environment and soil characteristics, we believe, will be highly supportive of various crop productions on a commercial scale. There are also plans for similar projects in the western and northern regions of Ghana. Government Departments involved  Ministry of Agriculture  Ministry of Water Resources, Works, and Housing  Local district assembly-Agricultural Officers Our Participation  Research and Development of viable processes  Implementation of approved processes for training and development  Management and Supervision of Implemented plans until they are completed or purchased Requirements from Local Government Authorities
  • 12. Executive Personnel and Objectives Page 12 of 26  Documentation, information and consultation regarding procedures, processes and regulations necessary to start and complete projects.  Project endorsement by traditional ruling parties Members of the project management team have been in Ghana acquiring this information and documentation. The Project The Project will begin with the harvesting of cacao, coffee, cashews, almonds and other precious commodities from farms that already are producing these valuable commodities but currently are not processing the products for the readily available markets, locally, regionally, or internationally. This will provide much of the capital necessary for the other developmental stages of the Project and our Business Plans. The funds necessary for start-up of the project will support this phase fully and will be repaid from the proceeds, re-evaluation of the projections will be completed after the first year and any adjustment in the proposal will be made at that time. Within the first ten years, detailed development plans will be established within the ECOWAS for at least 1,000 Co-Operative Agricultural Operations of about 50,000 hectare areas each strategically located for optimization of the resources available to them. This will comprise an estimated 500 Million Trust Unit investment to each „enterprise zone‟ with strategic alliances with the governments established within each region. A budget will be provided for the monitoring of the enterprise projects slated for each co-operative whereby the related governments will be provided the tools to monitor and approve all related construction projects within its relative jurisdiction. This will provide the framework for true and accurate government for the people within the enterprise zones on a case by case basis. These 1,000 projects will account for 500 Billion Trust units in the security of the 50,000 Hectares by purchase, or joint venture agreement, the facilities design and construction, reliable residential areas for the workers and urban populations within the enterprise zones, equipment, environmental safeguards, and processing, distribution, sales, and marketing of the refined products.
  • 13. Executive Personnel and Objectives Page 13 of 26 Funding Requirement s At this time we are in the Pre-Startup Phase. Sufficient data has been attained and the preliminary research has been done to support the project phases that will follow. We fully intend to begin operations as soon as the funding is in place. The agricultural operations that have been offered for implementation by our research and development partners has indicated to us that funds will be available to service the debt as soon as the facilities are in place to properly test and produce the process for identifying valuable resources available from previously unrefined areas. For this phase 50,000,000 Trust Units will be required. This will cover the Research and Development deployment into the region, and provide the costs of the equipment to begin preliminary operations. This financial influx will be repaid within two years of beginning operations and the extended and expanded agricultural operations themselves will cover the costs of the development plan and capital requirements for additional phases. The additional Phases of this project are agricultural in nature and will help to fulfill the millennium challenge goals outlined by entities concerned with this region. Our Projections involve the production of: o Development of Secure Processing and Transportation of Resources-Canary Isles o Oil Palm Processing (Hybrid Tenera) (Human Consumption and Energy) o Mangifera indica (mango) Processing (Human Consumption and Energy) o Cacao, Coffee, Almond, and Cashew Production & Refining o Traditional Farming (Corn, Maize, Rice, Cotton, Cassava, Sugar) Productions o Aquaculture Farming using advanced farming techniques. o Infrastructure Demands and necessary supporting training facilities Infrastructure demands are estimated to be the most costly of the investments. Each Co- Operative will be responsible for the infrastructure it needs to provide the agricultural product it produces to the market identified for distribution under internationally recognized requirements. For this purpose each Co-Operative will be allotted and additional 500 Million Trust units for construction of the infrastructure required for realization of these goals, and will be required to issue bonds under the Seal of the respective co-operative for repayment of the investments, with reasonable interest. This will account for the additional 500 Billion Investment requested on a draw down schedule developed in accord with the investor. Total Requested: One Trillion Five Hundred Billion Trust Units (One Trust Units = 25.8 Grains of AU) (Example – One troy ounce of Gold is 480 grains. If Gold is trading at 1000 GB Pounds, One grain is 1000 divided by 480 = 2.08333 Pounds times 25.8 equals 53.75 Pounds. In this example: One Trust units converts 53.75 GB Pounds to a usable commodity for future generations to use and thrive.)

Executive Summary - Structure of Administrative Organizations Page 14 of 26 Development of Secure Processing of Investment Resources – Granadilla Industrial Zone Oil Palm Processing This involves the planting, harvesting and processing of Oil Palm trees currently being mass produced in tropical forests in Ghana, and the processing of the Palm Nut to extract its oil for pharmaceutical, medical, industrial and domestic uses. The Oil Palm tree is a native of tropical West Africa where wild types exists in the lowland forest areas. The hybrid Tenera tree was developed in the 60‟s through Malaysian interests and was introduced to West Africa. Although the main centre of origin of the oil palm was West Africa, it has become widely distributed in the tropical zones of South America, Indonesia, Malaysia, and many parts South East Asia. It grows well between latitudes 13 degrees north and 12 degrees south of the equator. In West Africa the main oil palm belt runs through the southern latitudes of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria and Cameroon. The equator itself runs through the heart of Tema, Ghana. Types of Oil Palm Available: 3 Varieties 1) Dura 2) Pisifera 3) Tenera is a Hybrid of both the pervious varieties The Tenera variety has been chosen for our project because this variety is most suitable for commercial production. Also the Oil Palm Production Board of Ghana has focused on the mass production and implementing of large scale farms for the preceding three years. The resulting opportunity will provide the accumulation of several production processes readily availing fresh
  • 15. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 15 of 26 fruit bunches by the time we get our processing facilities in place. This will be further outlined in our financial section. Traditional Mango Processing Mangoes are currently processed at two stages of maturity. Green fruit is used to make chutney, pickles, curries and dehydrated products. The green fruit should be freshly picked from the tree. Fruit that is bruised, damaged, or that has prematurely fallen to the ground previously could not be used. Ripe mangoes are processed as canned and frozen slices, purée, juices, nectar and various dried products. Mangoes are processed into many other products for home use and by cottage industry. Mango processing presents many problems as far as industrialization and market expansion is concerned. The trees are alternate bearing and the fruit has a short storage life; these factors make it difficult to process the crop in a continuous and regular way. The large number of varieties with their various attributes and deficiencies affects the quality and uniformity of processed products. The lack of simple, reliable methods for determining the stage of maturity of varieties for processing also affects the quality of the finished products. Many of the processed products require peeled or peeled and sliced fruit. The lack of mechanized equipment for the peeling of ripe mangoes is a serious bottleneck for increasing the production of these products. All of these hurdles give our project increase validity because the hurdles previously precluded the uses of a readily available source of income for the region. Mango Processing Proposed We propose using the mango for energy as well as for food. As you can tell in the pictures below, mangoes grow well, thriving in the tropical environment in Ghana and as far north as Mali in Sub-Saharan West Africa.

  • 16. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 16 of 26 Most of the valuable fruit falls to the ground and rots year after year, adding to the world‟s environmental concerns. We propose using the fruit to make ethanol and using the nut to make bio-diesel, encouraging economic viability and helping in alleviating global warming in the process. And this can be done with fruit that has fallen prematurely or even over-ripe fruit. General Information About The Canaries The Canaries form an archipelago made up by seven main islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean near the Tropic of Cancer, near the African coast of Western Sahara. The islands stretch in an East-West 500 Kms arch. The latitude of the Canaries is in the subtropical zone, being the same as that of Orlando, Florida. The climate of the Canaries, however, is tempered by the surrounding ocean. The Canary Islands are an integral part of Spain; this has been so for more than 500 years, and a huge majority of Canarians have confirmed their status repeatedly over time. The language of the Canaries is Spanish (Castilian), but the accent is more like the Spanish spoken in the Caribbean. The Canaries form an "Autonomous Community" within the Kingdom of Spain. The islands have their own Government, Parliament and Administration, established by the Statute of Autonomy of the Canary Islands. The Canarian fiscal and economic system is different from the general Spanish one, which is in force in the major part of the Mainland. As a part of Spain, the Canaries are also part of the European Union. However, the islands enjoy some exceptions in the fiscal and economic area. The currency in the Canary Islands is the euro, as in Spain. The Parliament of the Canaries is in Santa Cruz de Tenerife; the delegation of the Spanish Government in the Canaries is in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with a sub-delegation in Santa Cruz de Tenerife; the Supreme Court of Justice of the Canarie is in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The Supreme Court of Justice exercises the judicial power. Appeals against its resolutions are to the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of Spain.
  • 17. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 17 of 26 The Special Tax Regime (REF) Although mainland tax regulations apply in the Canaries, companies operating there are also eligible for special tax incentives (the Special Tax Regime or REF). Key features of the REF are as follows:  VAT is not applied in the Canary Islands; instead there is a specific Sales Tax (IGIC) which has a general rate of 5%. In addition to increased and reduced rates of IGIC, there is a zero tax rate for certain basic need products and services (eg telecommunications).  Exemptions from duty on capital increases.  The use of undistributed profits to reduce the taxable base provided that the amounts concerned are invested within three years in certain qualifying fixed assets or public stock.  Enhanced tax credits for various types of investment. The Special Economic Zone (ZEC) The Canary Islands Special Zone has been created within the fiscal and economic regime of the Canary Islands for the purpose of encouraging the economic and social development of the islands and the diversification of their manufacturing and service sectors. The ZEC was initially The Canary Islands Special Zone authorised by the European Commission in January 2000. In early 2006, the Department of Economic Affairs and Finance of the Canary Islands Government suggested the introduction of improvements to the Canary Islands Economic and Fiscal Regime, including the extension of the time frame of the low tax zone beyond 2008 of 25 years for companies in the service sector and 50 years for companies operating in the industrial sector. In addition, a suggestion has been made for solving the problems related to double taxation on profits. This modification aims to make the ZEC a real stimulus for attracting companies with newly-created economic activity. At present, companies with their head office in mainland Spain are subject to double taxation on profits, which makes it difficult for them to set up in the low tax zone.
  • 18. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 18 of 26 Following the announcement of an extension in December 2006, the benefits provided by the ZEC will initially be available until December 31, 2019, although this may be further extended if the European Commission authorises it. Any company intending to carry out manufacturing, commercial or service activities within the territory of the Canary Islands may register in the ZEC; financial services are excluded. Permitted manufacturing, processing, handling and goods distribution activities include:  Fishing;  Food, beverages and tobacco;  Clothing;  Leather goods and footwear;  Furniture and related products;  Paper, publishing, graphic arts and reproduction of recorded material;  Building materials;  Machinery and mechanical equipment;  Electrical, electronic and optical materials and equipment;  Chemicals;  Recycling;  Wholesale and distributive activities;  Packaging, bottling and canning Permitted service activities include:  Transport and related activities;  IT;  Natural resources and waste disposal;  Telecommunications;  Advertising;  R + D;  Education and Training;  Consultancy;  Legal and fiscal services;  Other services Service companies registered under the ZEC may be set up in any part of the Canary Islands.
  • 19. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 19 of 26 Production, processing, handling and distributive activities must be located in certain Designated Areas at:  On the island of Grand Canary  The Port of La Luz and Las Palmas  Gando Airport  The Arinaga Industrial Estate  On the island of Tenerife:  The Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife  Los Rodeos and Reina Sofía Airports  The Granadilla Industrial Estate There are Designated Areas on each of the other Canary Islands. Any Company wishing to set up in the ZEC must satisfy a number of requirements, of which the most important are:  A ZEC Company must be newly incorporated;  At least one of the persons authorised to manage and act on behalf of the Company must be resident in the Canary Islands;  A ZEC Company must make an investment of at least EUR100,000 (EUR50,000 in some locations) in fixed assets related to the activity within the first two years subsequent to authorisation;  A ZEC Company must employ at least five persons (reduced to three in some locations) in the ZEC area within the first six months subsequent to authorisation and must retain this number of employees, on average, throughout its lifetime;  A ZEC Company must present a description of its activities, with particular mention of its economic viability, international focus, contribution to the economic and social development of the Canary Islands and solvency. Taxation Of ZEC Companies ZEC companies enjoy the following tax benefits:  Corporation tax (levied in Spain at 30%) is charged at 4% on profits derived from ZEC activities. The rates depends on: o Net creation of employment;
  • 20. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 20 of 26 o The period of inclusion in the Register of ZEC Companies; o Whether the activity is new or pre-existing; o The type of activity  ZEC companies are exempt from Capital Transfer Tax and Stamp Duty in the following circumstances: o Purchase of goods and rights for the conduct of the business activity of the ZEC company within the geographical area of the ZEC; o Company operations except liquidation; o Stamp duty on documents connected with the company‟s operations in the geographical area of the ZEC o ZEC companies are exempt from Canarian Indirect General Tax (Canarian Sales Tax) on delivery of goods and provision of services from one ZEC Company to another, and on imports. o International Double Taxation Treaties and the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive:  The Canary Islands are an integral part of the territory of Spain and the European Union. Therefore ZEC companies may take advantage of Double Taxation treaties signed by Spain and the EU‟s Parent-Subsidiary Directive. ZEC Companies are not obliged to deduct tax from payments for tangible assets made by them. Traditional and Customary Farming Vast amounts of square hectares lay untilled in all states of the ECOWAS. This land is very fertile and is under the control of the traditional families who have the land through their ancestors. The government(s) has not been able to provide guidance and resources to the people for the agricultural development and have, in the case of Ghana, opened the areas up to privatization to encourage the influx of investment dollars and modern technology into the regions. Here in lies our unique opportunity. Because the land is virgin and large scale application of chemical based fertilizers and pesticides have not been introduced, we could encourage the production of organic grains and produce from these lands. Helping to alleviate hunger by encouraging economic use of the land rather than offering a hand out to the people will also assist Millennium Challenge Authorities meet their projections.
  • 21. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 21 of 26 Implementing Cooperative Farming Because the protection of the invested capital and the return on investment is so crucial, we believe the Co-operative business model that has proven extremely successful in industrialized countries is imperative. A co-operative is a commercial body built upon the business structure which is both accountable and durable. We intend to promote the implementation of cooperatives upon a predetermined scale to interject the investment(s) into a practical and document-able system. This process will encourage the training of the local human resource, provide for the safe and efficient use of the modern equipment presented to the region, provide a unified voice to the local farmer no matter the scale of their individual operation, and provide support for the exposure of the products produced to the international market to ensure best rate of return. And all this will be accomplished in a repeatable and easily update-able fashion throughout the region, an example answering many proposed problems. Co-Operatives are proven to build Co-Operatives are the roots of civilization Products that can be produced through Agriculture Through our projected business model, many agricultural products can be produced, processed, packaged, and distributed. All will be done through the co-operative models we have proposed and the investment and return recaptured with minimal risk to the investor. Agreements situated and secured before the investment ever is introduced will be provided between the Governments in power, the traditional land owners, and the investing public. These safeguards can and will be insured through international entities such as the Export/Import Bank. This will insure the investments against anything from social uprising(s) to government coupe(s). In the unlikely event of such an occurrence since it is believed that such uprisings are not simply cultural but a direct result of the living conditions we intend to effect. Some of these productions will include ideas such as the following:  Corn grown and refined into staple products used every day in the industrialized world will be refined and packaged on site using the cooperative system. Also others such as:
  • 22. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 22 of 26 o Maize, rice, cotton, soybeans, Castor o Cassava, potatoes, sugar beets, plantain, banana o Groundnuts, cashews, almonds, coffee, cocoa, sun flowers, etc., etc, etc. Answering the demand for infrastructure How do we provide Infrastructure? And more importantly, how do we pay for it? Two Questions that have been confronted many times without resolve, but also one that we intend to promote and resolve during the course of this presentation, and at the hopeful conclusion, to address it as such once and for all. Ironically the answer lies in the same condition as the question answered heretofore. The answer is in the land itself, lying waste along with the lives of the people that own it. The Co-operative Agricultural Operations International will be responsible for identifying construction techniques adaptable to the environments they are assigned and providing technical training, modern resources, and equipment to the human resources available within the geographic regions they are assigned. This will provide the framework for self-sustaining infrastructure construction and economic security simultaneously, transforming the region from a vast wasteland with no GDP interactions to viable and productive economic infrastructures virtually overnight. Infrastructure Technology and Resource Management How do we go in to the powerless regions of West Africa, build modern roads and bridges, tunnels and railroads trestles, provide engineering products and everything that is necessary and pay for it all? Good question and we think we have the answer. The same concept for BOT that we described in the previous section is applicable here. We can go in using nominal start-up capital, and produce the resources for the renovation of the region, update it with modern highways, overpasses, tunnels and access roads through the BOT method. By gaining the rights to the thoroughfares we can build toll roads that will be used only by paying travelers and account for every penny we have invested or controlled until a buyer comes along. We can then recoup the full investment plus any gain we deem viable. At which time we leave the area more beneficial to the inhabitants and hopefully do the same thing somewhere else in the world until we have accomplished our agreed upon goals. One of the big concerns for the successful operation of our development initiative is the infrastructure of the countries we plan to effect. Some of those concerns are to be mentioned
  • 23. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 23 of 26 here, and as is our model so is the solution to the problem. Once we have identified a region that we would like to develop using our Appropriate Technology, we will institute the following products and processes to relieve concerns. 1) The bad conditions of roads and lack of bridges, overpasses over low lying areas, and just generally bad driving conditions for all motorists. The Solution: Our High specification concrete batching system We will work with the governments in the areas where our technologies will be introduced to develop roads, bridges and overpasses using the proprietary concrete batching systems provided by our development partners. Through these technologies we have exclusive rights to their remarkable system throughout the ECOWAS. And it is revolutionary. 2) The unsafe housing and sanitary conditions in the region is not feasible for human existence. Our system of Research and Development will provide intense and localized development of safe and sanitary housing and will allow us to assist our local partners to pay for the development as they receive their portion of the proceeds of the operation. Systems such as Insipit Africa,
  • 24. Executive Summary for the Development Plan for the ECOWAS Page 24 of 26 3) Installed with the sanitary solution –„the waterless toilet‟ system will be key institutions. We have the rights to the waterless toilet and other sanitary products in the region, which will make us the green friendly, energy and resource conscientious leaders in the industry and the region. This waterless, chemical free, environmentally friendly sanitation aid is just the thing for the developing region. And we will manufacture the toilet and the installation will more than likely extend well beyond our project adding to the companies‟ bottom line tremendously in my opinion. 4) The production facilities we will be putting in place during the alternative energy production/ economic development of rural areas of West Africa phase will provide electricity and clean drinking water as a by-product of production. And because the facilities are chemical based facilities, the additional incentive is environmentally friendly as well.

Both the Shaykamaxum Empire and the Yamassee Nation have agreed to participate in these project(s) with both funding and personnel in order to fully realize these projections. The exact substance for the funding of the project(s) are proprietary to the :Perkins, Thlton-Ray Global Agricultural Development Pure Contract Trust and is the intellectual property of it, as such. Any other support or contract deemed necessary will be addressed separately. Commodity Bonds will be created for futures pledged to secure the investment at 20-30 year periods. The procedure will go like this: The bonds will be created in lots of 250,000 metric tons of rice, milled and bagged in 50 kg sacks available F.O.B. at port nearest production facility. The ratio used to determine the actual value will be the Day rate for spot gold with 25.8 grains of gold to the dollar. For Instance, rice selling at retail for 41.9 cents per pound will be calculated based on the spot price for gold of 1200 USD per ounce. One ounce contains 480 grains, therefore one dollar is actually worth 1200 divided by 480 which equals $2.50 times 25.8 equals $64.50. 41.9% of 64.50 equals 27.0255 US dollars per pound for rice, and 2.2 pounds equals one kilo, or 27.0255 times 2.2 which amounts to 59.4561 dollars per kilo or 59,456.10 per metric ton. Using this formula, one contract of rice (250,000 metric tons) will amount to 14,864,025,000 USD (14 Billions, Eight Hundreds Millions, Six Hundreds Thousands, four millions, and twenty five thousands). This is the equation that will be used to calculate the bonds issued to the investor(s), and the equations stated on the bond payable in 20 years or 30
