2. History of the Project We have been successful in the oil and gas industry here in Texas for 26 years. During this time it has been my pleasure to work and associate with many of accredited investors. As we all know the boom and bust nature of that industry has made some very wealthy and not been so nice to others. I have been fortunate to have been on the upside. During a past visit with one of my long time participants and friend, it was suggested to me that I should look into the development of Memorial Parks. He related to me that his work as a MAIA Appraiser had recently been doing appraisal work for one of the local Memorial Parks. He told me that they were literally making money hand over fist. He suggested that the type of investor that I dealt with on a daily basis would be very excited about the security and long term income potential of such a project. I didn’t think much further on the idea at the time I was fully committed to the oil and gas projects, and was enjoying a very successful period of high energy prices and productive exploration fields. However, I was to get some down time due to health problems. This gave me time to review all my objectives and projects that we were involved in. While the health problems were short lived it did get me to considering the future and the need to plan ahead. This brought me to my first thoughts of a family plot for my family. My wife’s family has a large family plot area in her home town and I felt it was something that I wanted to do for my family. As I began accumulating the price quotes from the various local cemeteries I started adding up the numbers. Taking into account all expenses that needed to be considered the cost was surprisingly high. I began to remember what my friend, the appraiser, told me and the thought of putting together a Memorial Park for my Investors began to materialize. The more research I did and the more information and numbers I compiled it became obvious to me that this was a solid opportunity to put in place a very high yield, low risk investment for my investors. I have spent the last year doing due diligence on all aspects of this project. I have driven many, many miles looking for the right locations. It is not only important that the land for the project possess the natural aesthetic beauty but the area around it must also be compatible. What development of the area is currently today as well as what the potential future development of the area might become. My Attorney and CPA have been instrumental in helping to navigate thru the legal and tax issues of establishing and operating a memorial park. There are many laws that are unique to the cemetery business in the state of Texas. It has been an educational process to get up to speed on the knowledge necessary to develop this project . I have 100 percent confidence in this project and feel that you will too. It is worthy of your serious consideration. Please review it carefully.
3. The DFW Metroplex Area has approximately 6.7 million people and is expected to grow by an additional 250,000 people per year. The area is large enough that it will take six strategically located cemeteries to cover the entire market area. Research shows that the market area for a cemetery is approximately a 45 mile radius. Heaven’s Rest Memorial Park, DFW North Project will be the first of six to be built encompassing the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex Area. The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex being our first area of interest. Partners are encouraged to participate in all six locations. Projects will have staggered start times to accommodate investor participation. Based on the average life expectancy of 76 years there are about 89,110 deaths per year in the DFW Metroplex Area. This is referred to as the “as needed basis” market segment. THE BABY BOOMER GENERATION ! This age group has matured to the point in their lives when it is logical for them to consider cemetery plots on a pre-need basis. This advancing age of the Baby Boomers creates the very strong market for “pre-need sales of plots”. This is the segment of the market that we will focus our primary marketing efforts on. Collectively with the key sales people and sales manager that we have lined up to initiate our Sales Staff we have over 100 years of combined sales experience to market our project. We will not be in the funeral or mortuary business. We will be in the cemetery business which is plot sales and landscaping business. Basically we are sub-dividing and maintaining real estate and overseeing the placement of interments. Only 20% of cemeteries are corporately owned the remainder are basically Individual Proprietor Operations with the marketing strategy of “They’ll come see us sooner or later”. This leaves the market open for a company that puts on an effective marketing effort. WE REGARD HEAVEN’S REST MEMORIAL PARK AS A VERY SACRED PLACE THAT SHOULD ALWAYS CONVEY A VERY SPIRITUAL PRESENCE WHEN VISITED. IT WILL ALWAYS BE OUR GOAL TO MAINTAIN A VERY BEAUTIFUL AND SPECIAL PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT THEIR LOVED ONES . Information of Fact
