ZenLive opens for Spring Season March 3-Sharonna Spyker Reporting

Amid much excitement, new Media Manager Danica Sparta proudly announces the grand reopening of ZenLive on March 3 with Sorvea Perdide performing at 6pm and Kitty Zeddmore at 7pm.

"I am looking forward to this opportunity in assisting ZenLive truly shine, like the star venue that I always knew it was," said Sparta. "Opening our door and drawing the curtains tonight to all who have enjoyed the talent that has graced our stage before, will bring me much pleasure ."

Sparta is planning an exciting season that will include artists like Strum Diesel, Sorvea Perdide, Kitty Zeddmore, Misch Lameth, Rosedrop Rust, Lighthouse Mixmaster, and many more.

"Zenlive is the philanthropic arm of Zhenya Zoning Real Estate. We are a non-profit venue that strives to enhance the Second Life community," said Annabis Moody, Zen Chief Operating Officer."Our goals include providing a series of genuine live performances that may not otherwise be available."

Moody explained that the people at Zen realize the difficulties that independent musicians, film makers and artists may have in gaining exposure sometimes. Zen Live allows these artists to focus on what they do best--leaving the business aspects of the venue to the ZEN live staff and management.

"Through the generous support of people who want to promote these efforts we have been able to continue running," said Sparta."The costs of tier fees always put us at risk of closing so the generosity of our supporters is crucial to our continued existence."

Also planned on the ZenLive sight is a school for DJs and possibly two nights a week of live DJ performances using the most updated mixing technology.

"ZenLive has been promoting live music for almost three years now, and the future is looking brighter than ever," said Ashleigh Wade, Zen Chief Executive Officer.

Before I answer your inquiry, I should point out that there are fundamental differences between the DDE and CLH business models, and I don’t think I would group either of them in the same category of business, nor do I think they can cleanly be compared to ZEN (although DDE would be a much closer comparison for sure). Each of them has different approaches to business and history of operating in SL. I do think it’s fair for you to ask what you asked, and I get what you mean in a general sense. I appreciate the question and it’s been on my mind as well.

What distinguishes ZEN from the pack, and what will keep us from facing the same troubled waters as other “estate” companies?

To answer that question I will make two points:

1) We are just as vulnerable as DDE, or any other pure play estate company, to any downturn in that book of business.

2) ZEN is not an estate company. We are a community company who operates estates as part of our business model.

On the first point – Estate Vulnerability

Running an estate is like running an airline. It consumes all your time. People constantly complain. Competition constantly undercuts you. The margin is razor thin. The service is horrible, the work overwhelming and the regulator implements policy that hurts your business and makes conditions worse. We have 5 regions making up 3 estates. It wears me out, and I have a lot of help.

In this environment we would be foolish to think that any significant profit can be made from estate operations. It would not be wise to rely on this line of revenue for any sustainability or growth. However a well built estate is a useful tool to achieve the end of what we really seek to do, which is build community and monetize that.

ZEN Estate Operations has faced challenges over the last year and it’s been very tough at times, I’m not going to lie. However we gain knowledge from these challenges, and use that to our advantage. We seek to break even on each region and we price it that way (tier plus small overhead). Each region is modeled for a fair profit at 100%. The reality is that with turnover it hits just under break even each month (tier). It’s a lot of work to just maintain that, and we offer pretty good service. Honestly, I’m very happy to hit break even because that can be our only aim in this environment. Tier is just maintaining (arguable) assets to do what we really do.

Which brings me to the second point – ZEN is a community company.

ZEN will survive with 5 regions, 1 regions, or no regions. We are not at the point to consider reduction. However, the board has discussed tentative action plans to downsize, if needed as a last resort.

Our focus is on our community, which started in 2007 around a campfire. From there it has grown into 5 regions. Those roots birthed our motto – Bringing a Second life Community to Life!

When I was elected into office, and the new board installed in 2008, we wrote our vision and mission as:

VISION
We envision a virtual world community where your neighbor is your neighbor, and everyone has a home. A world where everyone can have fun, share in our common space, and enjoy a sense of camaraderie unparalleled in the metaverse.

MISSION
At Zhenya Zoning Real Estate Company, we work to ensure our clients, patrons and shareholders enjoy a meaningful metaverse experience by bringing the community to life, and providing opportunities & services unlike those provided anywhere else in the metaverse.

That is who we are. As you can see, the estate is just a means to the end of community building. ZEN 5th Avenue, ZEN Live!, ZENCIty, ZEN Chamber of Commerce and Business Services, Tamaqua, Panther Valley, The Enclave at Panther Valley, Tuscarora, Zensu Beach, Zensuality, Zensu Public Poles & Gaming, ZEN Gaming, AZ Homes, ZEN Merchandise – all of this is the community portion and our focus. Monetizing this is our future and will be the icing on the break even cake.

We can mix and match our tool box, but building strategic relationships is key to our success. The first action of the board was to start identifying ways to diversify revenue. We are a year into that and I’m pleased with some things and disappointed in others. However I have a good team and lots of support. I feel better now than this time last year.

That’s not to say we can’t lose our ass and regions tomorrow. It’s just not a reason for us to go out of business, as it’s not really our business.

In regards to the recent acquisition, I can’t really discuss the terms of the deal publicly other than to say it showed very little downside if it doesn’t work out. We are gracious to Pixel for this.

In short, you are stuck with us – with or without estates ;)

Please visit Tamaqua, Tuscarora, Panther Valley, Zensuality, or check out our new Sushi Valley. Join Zhenya Zoning Real Estate Company (ZEN), Zen Live!, or Zensuality groups for regular announcements.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

All the best,
Ash

ZEN is pleased to announce that we have acquired the region of Sushi Valley from Pixelsage Guru. As many of you are aware, Sushi Valley has been a neighbor to the Ata Estate (Tamaqua, Tuscarora and Panther Valley) for years now, and Pixelsage has been a long time shareholder and supporter of this company. We are pleased to add this region to our diverse portfolio of regions.

ZEN Sushi Valley will continue to maintain an elegant ZEN-like Japanese theme and will have an identity separate from Ata, but will be marketed as a part of Ata (to promote continuity). Over time we will probably edge towards a more modern Japanese look, but will seek to maintain classical elements.

Sushi Valley will be marketed and promoted as residential, but we will not restrict commercial.

Please join us as we welcome Sushi Valley into the ZEN family.

As is typical with new acquisitions we will probably see some negative impact over this month and next month’s financials due various changes that result from a change in management. We will work very hard to minimize any impact, and any shareholder or investor who wishes to discuss this deal, our finances, our operations, or just take a tour of our estates are welcome to contact me or any of the ZEN staff at any time.

Kind Regards,
Ash

I've coded the transactions and forwarded them to Arnaud to review and place in the financial template.

There is a slight delay due to my travel schedule (i'm writing from a hotel meeting room in Philadelphia right now), and Arnaud is traveling this week as well.

I don't expect to be more than a day or so delayed.

This post will be updated as soon as I have the link.

October was an expensive month due to the buildout and churn associated of Zensuality (which if you haven't seen it, you need to NOW!). So it will be a loss month, as expected.

We did get a lot of great changes out of our movement this last month, and I have to say I am very pleased with our new positioning. If we can get the clients in we will be golden by the end of the year.

I'm working through a corporate capabilities deck to share with you guys as well, and expect to have that done by Sunday - once I get home and get through the balance of my meetings this week.

In the meantime...need a homestead?

We have installed our sim model and blueprint. You can see it here:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Blue%20Mountain/117/129/21

Please check it out and let us know if you have questions or ideas. Construction will begin this week. We have backed off the previous model and moved to a new model.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Zensuality - Dream Away :)

Inspired to be a resort oasis - Our current model calls for three anchor tenants, 6 storefronts and 55 tiki/cabanas which we have modeled to recognize approxmately L$80K in revenue per month. We will layer a series of advertising boards across the sim to buffer and provide revenue off the sales/rental base.

We are simultaniously conducting market research so our mix of anchors/storefronts/cabanas may change to accomodate what the market can hold. In addition the sim will be designed as "turn-key" to accomodate for a rapid turnover with little involvment. We want the sim to run itself for the most part so we can work on building the community and traffic while maintaining a great service level in Ata.

We have sold the three anchors and expect to move those residents in shortly.

More news as it becomes available...

http://www.msgc.biz/zen/ZENS_BOOKS_AUGUST_publish_2009.xls

Although we avoided summer churn in July it hit us full force in August. We had anticipated this in May and, as you will recall, we planned for this with the SPO - a L$75,000 capital cushion to see us through these events.

All-in-All our balance sheet is strong, however we are not seeing as high of a September pickup as we expected, and in fact have had some more tenants letting their land go, which might produce another loss unless we can sell out the vacant land quickly. We are currently at about 75-80% capacity.

It should be noted that in spite of all this there are a LOT of exciting things going on at ZEN. We have taken opportunity with the land churn to tweak, think through and revamp some of our legacy land issues, which will produce a higher profitability once we can get ourselves back up to a higher capacity.

I will continue to keep you informed and will provide a more detailed update in the near future (meaning this weekend).

All the best from ZEN.

Good question and it has been on my mind as well. I have been thinking about this and will review with the board and get back to you. Give me about a week as I need to re-assess our strategy with the balance of the board members and then develop and communicate a secondary plan of action.

I agree it has gone on for some time, however we need to sell through in order to meet the strategic objectives lined out in my May presentation:
http://wickstercorp.com/uploads/ZEN_SPO_Deck_Final.zip

There was some delay in getting the SPO up which slowed our Mojo. We were aiming to start selling in June which would have been optimal.

As far as the oldest investors you can't cant any older than me, as I've bought ALL my shares and been holding them since June 2007. I'm not looking to sell them anytime soon.

I am also exploring an offer with someone looking to buy a large portion. Also, just for clarity the total amount of shares SPO sold in August was 56,252 - so at that burn rate we would see a sell through in 4 months (less if we stepped up marketing and attracted angel investors).

At any rate, I do agree its rather unfair to hold up everyone this long and will address this with Zaldar and the balance of the board. We will need to examine the September pickup to determine if its feasible to stay our strategic course or reconsider our options. In light of our summer churn, which was higher than normal this summer (and resulted in a loss as you will see in the financials coming out tomorrow) we might need to bunker down for the fall.

In the meantime, please check out our sims Tamaqua, Tuscarora, Panther Valley and Blue Mountain. We have a little something for everyone there. I hope to see you soon.

Kind Regards,
Ash

Near a month.
It could be 7 more months away in future to end.
So much time.

I have no many shares, but I can´t do anything with them.
If all values will come to SPO, the Market will be too boring...
Perhaps, It could be good to oldest investors, to find a way to make faster this SPO.

A limit date, an special offer...

I don´t know how, but if someone thinks that a new way is possible, it can be good.

ty for your attention, and sorry for my english.

An investor who try to make easiest this SPO...

We are requesting a formal extension to prepare our July financials. With our SPO and new capital influx we are accounting for items that were not accounted for. Couple that with a bit of a delay in my getting the full numbers and transactions to Arnaud on time (sorry Mr. CFO) we are running a bit behind. The good news is that it appears to be a very decent month considering all the activity that went on in July.

We expect to be able to post everything in full by end of day Thursday, August 14th if not sooner.

Again, sorry for the delay and thank you for your ZEN.

NOTE: Zaldar Rhode was unable to attend due to a RL family emergency and therefore voted his shares by proxy through representative Ashleigh Wade.

The meeting was called to order at 7:03PM SLT.

OPENING

Ash Wade opened by stating this is the first meeting since the shift from a single manager model to a management board structure. Seven months has passed since the management transition.

FINANCE

Ash noted that since the management board took control the monthly revenue has increased 32% overall. In October 2008, when the board took control, monthly revenue was L$277,901. Last April, monthly revenue was L$368,404.

Ash then explained that revenue has steadied. However, a somewhat problematic issue is that revenue just meets tier on most months. He attributed it to month churn, legacy landholder issues, high competition, downward market pricing pressure and moderate infrastructure size. He then discussed how ZEN’s transactions are conducted, and specifically that he maintains the holdings Avatar, that Zaldar Rhode holds the sims in trust, and that each month the raw transactions are forwarded to Arnaud Villota, the CFO, to maintain the books. Ash also discussed the succession plan, and that he and Zaldar have thought through a "what if something happened to..." scenario and have put contengency plans in place.

He discussed the 2009 dividend practice. The board will evaluate dividend possibility on a quarterly basis. Dividends will be based on profitability. The last dividend was L$.01/share in April 2009, based on 1Q profitability.

ESTATE

Ash opened the estate overview by discussing the back-office operations. He noted that churn can be high in some months; however, our overall churn appears to be decreasing and the parcels are turning over at an increasingly rapid fill rate.

Ash then discussed the challenges in the back office. He is not satisfied with the response time to action the physical aspects of turnover, such as tier box placement. He would like to optimize turnover to a 24 hr response time.

To improve back office response time, he will work with the Chief Operating Officer. They have set up regular meeting s to begin defining a handbook and writing best processes and practices for the land managers to follow. They have set a goal of having a program put together by the end of next quarter.

Annabis then discussed the client side (or, front-office). She highlighted that overall Ata is reaching capacity, “as you can see with a simple fly-by of the sims”. She encouraged everyone to explore the many beautiful public spaces ZEN has to offer, and encouraged our residents to take advantage of them. She noted that the community was strong and involved, which was exampled by the large attendance of ZEN residents at the shareholders meeting. Residents out attended shareholders 2 to 1.

ZEN MEDIA

Annabis then turned focus to the status of ZEN Media, starting with discussion of ZENLive!. She could not be more pleased with the way the venue has blossomed. Currently under the direction of McChris Flanagan, and with hosting by Danica Sparta, ZENLive! has seen many new performers and fans. Since revival about 2 months ago, ZENLive! has hosted twenty different artists, with many coming back week after week as regulars.

Currently ZENLive! hosts roughly three shows a week, some nights with multiple performers, and the goal to bring it to seven nights a week. In addition, a new DJ night will be starting shortly and the place has been redesigned to accommodate the larger crowds that DJs tend to bring in.
She then noted ZENLive! boasts healthy traffic - 1,945 on May 28th with 175 unique avatars having visited in the two weeks prior. She concluded by noting this traffic is being now going to be monetized with strategic ad board placement (at a highly affordable rate!).

She concluded by discussing upcoming projects for ZEN Media, which include production of in-world audio/video compositions. She discussed our strong in-house capability to produce machinima, specifically by Ashleigh Wade and Zaldar Rhode in collaboration, as evidenced by the ZEN Commercial.

ZEN MERCHANDISE AND ZEN GAMING

Ash explained that ZEN Gaming is headed up by Zal, and Zaldar would need update the shareholders accordingly at the next shareholder meeting. Ash then discussed that he is working on ZEN Artwork for the ZEN merchandise division. He then turned focus to Tamos Shan, the Chief Build Officer, who is currently working on home furniture suites to sell under the AZ Homes brand. The furniture suites are quite promising and we look forward to their rollout.

ZEN’S TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Annabis informed the group on June 18, 2009 ZEN will be celebrating its second year as a public SL company. We are proud to announce that our resident hostess, Danica Sparta will be spearheading effort and organization of our celebration. She asked everyone to “save-the-date” and join us in our festivities. Many thanks go out to Danica for her dedication and tireless efforts on behalf of ZEN.

ZEN’S FUTURE

Ash then presented the proposal for ZEN’s future.

Copies of the presentation can be downloaded at:
http://wickstercorp.com/uploads/ZEN_SPO_Deck_Final.zip

NOTE: The deck was composed with Microsoft Office 2007 and is a .pptx file. If you have trouble with opening, please contact Ashleigh Wade, who will deliver you a copy of the SPO book in-world. Earlier versions of MS Office may display the fonts and charts incorrectly. If something seems off, ask for a book.

Ash identified the following immediate issues:

- We are fluxuating between 90-100% capacity in our 4 current sims.

- We’ve been approached by several residents who would like to expand their current parcel holdings, or have friends who would like to join our sim, but can’t find a place to expand.

- Our grass roots effort has generated great interest in our estate, but we have no more land to sell to them.

- We must increase our profitability. A quick way to do this would be another high margin sim, akin to our Panther Valley model (high prim bonus, higher tier). We could also realize considerable profitability on a grandfathered tier sim.

- We would like to increase our operating capital cushion in conjunction with our fifth sim purchase.

- We have been presented with marketing opportunities, and wish to expand our brand presence.

- The Chairman and Chief Executive wish to compensate the Chief Operating Officer, a senior level employee, in connection with reaching a 2 year service anniversary. Compensation will be a share grant.

To address these issues he requested an SPO to raise a total of L$422,250 in capital which will serve the following purposes:

- Sim Purchase

- Marketing Allocation

- Operating Cushion

315,000 shares will be offered to the public at large, at a price of L$1.15 per share, based on a 30 day average closing price as of May 25, 2009.

SHAREHOLDER VOTE

After Ash’s presentation the SPO proposal was put to vote. 73% of the shares outstanding were voted in favor of the SPO, with the balance 27% of the shares placing no vote due to non-attendance, or failure to proxy vote.

Therefore this motion has passed. Accordingly an SPO
application has been placed on file with SL Capex as of
Friday, May 29, 2009.

CLOSING

In closing, Ash thanked everyone for coming out and asked the residents to consider purchasing shares and owning a piece of ZEN. He also encouraged the shareholders to get more involved with the ZEN community and enjoy the sims we own to the fullest.

The meeting was concluded at approximately 7:47PM SLT.

2009 ZEN Client Referral Program

Word of mouth is the best form of advertisement and recommendation. As such, Zhenya Zoning Real Estate Company has established the 2009 ZEN Client Referral Program. If you refer someone who purchases a parcel, and that person maintains a parcel in good standing for at least 2 consecutive months, you will receive a discount on your tier in all ZEN owned sims, according to the following schedule:

- 1st Referral – 5% monthly discount

- 2nd Referral – additional 2% monthly discount

- 3rd Referral – additional 3% monthly discount

- The program will max out at a total of 10% monthly discount.


The following conditions apply to all referrals:


- To qualify, the referring party must currently own a parcel in a ZEN owned sim, and must maintain that parcel in good standing to be discount eligible. Eligibility is lost once all parcels are sold or abandoned.


- All current ZEN parcel owners are eligible to participate in the program, with the exception of employees and executive management. Members of the board who are not part of executive management are eligible to participate.


- The company reserves the right to withhold discount if the referral was submitted previously by another source. If there are two referrals for the same person or group, the referral submitted first will be the one processed for a discount.


- If a new client pays for two months up front the referring party is immediately discount eligible.


- All referral claims must be received by ZhenyaZen Diesel within two weeks of the new client's parcel purchase.


To refer a person or group, you must submit a note card to ZhenyaZen Diesel titled "ZEN Referral – Your Name/Referral Name". In the body of the note card provide your name, the sim in which you hold your parcel, the referral name, and sim where they purchased their parcel.


Zhenya Zoning Real Estate reserves the right to amend the program conditions at anytime. This program supersedes any previous referral programs currently in place with ZEN Clients.

-Financial Results Summary-
December at ZEN was pretty good. I am pleased to report we closed our shortfall and ended the month with small profit of L$13,785. You will recall last month we saw an operating loss of L$47,563. Looking forward, a breakeven/small profit/small loss fluxuation will most likely be par for the course in 1Q 2009 as we finish diversification, restructuring and product development. However, the net result is strong ZEN with clear products, processes, and plans.

-Dividend Practice and Guidance-
In 2009, the board will discuss dividends quarterly, specifically the end of March, June, September, and December. We will issue dividends as we feel the treasury can handle a dividend payment.

-Estate Operations Update-
December resulted in a fair amount of churn in the estate, including a few givebacks, resulting in more land that is available and unoccupied. As a result, our core land business remains weaker than we would like, however we are steady at about 80% occupancy.

One really cool spot that has developed is our new gated community - “The Enclave at Panther Valley”. We have 7 small parcels for sale in the enclave, and they are *perfect* for a townhouse or gallery. You can check out the enclave here:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Panther%20Valley/48/195/22

Another bright spot is ZEN Fifth Avenue. Over our little over 1 ½ years in existence Strider Messmer has led the community in Tamaqua to form an amazing downtown fashion shopping district where you can get dressed from head to toe in style, class and luxury. Fifth Avenue is a pillar of the ZEN community and was holiday featured in the Metaverse Messenger – December 23rd edition, page 13:

http://www.metaversemessenger.com/pdf/2008/12/MM20081223.pdf

In the balance of our sims the community is strong and business is great. We have great neighborhoods and great neighbors.

I would like to invite you to participate in our community. We hold bi-weekly town halls led by our COO, Annabis Moody, and they are a great forum for community feedback and communication. The first town hall was held on January 2nd, and the balance of January town halls will be on the 17th@ 2PM SLT and on the 31st @ 2PM SLT. They will be held at the ZEN Town Hall in Tuscarora.

Also of high interest, our own Chief ZEN Zaldar Rhode will be premiering his film works at our new ZEN Live venue in Tuscarora. We are extremely excited about this event and want you all to join us on Saturday, January 10, 2009 at @ 2PM SLT – ZEN Live! (Tuscarora)

I am also pleased to announce that we have completed our 2009 Client Referral Program. This program rewards our current tenants with discounts for referring new tenants. We look forward to the rollout of this program over the next month. The program will be posted in full in the forums for shareholder review.

-ZEN Merchandise Update-
A key element to our diversification strategy is the development of merchandise to subsidize our revenue and even out the ebb and flow of the estate business. While progress on this has begun, I have to admit it has been somewhat slow. We have identified two main product lines, AZ Homes and ZEN Photography and Artwork. Both lines have seen some development and we have begun construction on The ZEN Store. We will continue to work on these lines with the goal of having the store and some merchandise completed and for sale at the end of the month. We realize this is a priority; however the land business remains first and foremost the continual focus.

-Senior Executive Adjustment-
Arnaud Villota has surrendered his estate management duties as of January 3, 2009. This was necessary in order to free his time to focus on his obligation to Phoenix Distribution. He will lose the title of Chief Client Services Officer, however he remain on board as our Chief Financial Officer and Member of our Management Board. We want to thank him for his ongoing dedication of time and effort to ZEN and we wish him and Phoenix Distribution the best going forward.

The estate duties previously handled by Arnaud will be split between myself and Annabis Moody, COO. The estate managers will report into Annabis. An updated corporate deck and organizational structure will be completed ready for shareholder viewing by the end of the month and will be posted in the ZEN Investor Relations Office at ZEN HQ in Tuscarora.

-Conclusion-

In conclusion, I am pleased with what we have achieved since the end of September. Our team is strong and our community is strong. Our tenants are great and we are on the right path. I look forward to the new year and what it holds.

Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions you may have.

Kind Regards,
Ash

Another month passes. November was indeed a challenging month. While we succeeded in filling some of our goals, we failed in delivering a key item, profit. This month we posted a loss, which is quite unsatisfactory. In looking at the loss, I believe we see the result of tenant shift/churn in our sims and, in general, our restructuring issues. We also saw our sims go from 90&% full to 80% full. Churn is to be expected in a management change; however, I guess I thought I'd see more of this last month. That said, it’s important for you to understand that even with the loss our sim payments are current, and we face no operational issues. We still have a very solid base of tenants who are fantastic.

However, the recent occurrences and general instability of the land market leads our management team to believe that a land only model is not in our best business interest. Our land business, while a stable source of revenue, should not be our only source. Therefore we are utilizing our team talent to identify other streams of income which will provide a hedge against our land business. From this process we have produced ideas such as AZ Homes.

AZ Homes was the original ZEN brand. It all started on a small little mainland plot Zaldar had. He would visit and hang out with folks, amongst which was Annabis. From that community came forth the ZEN you know it as today – the sims of Tamaqua, Tuscarora, Panther Valley and Blue Mountain. To commemorate our beginnings, AZ Homes will be a line of small, well-designed pre-fab homes. I look forward to telling you more about that idea as it develops.

In addition, we are currently in discussions to assume management of Sushi Valley, our sister sim to the south. It is currently owned and operated by Pixelsage Guru. Negotiations are ongoing, but we could take control of it as soon as Dec 15th if all goes well.

We are also in the process of reviving the ZEN Live! venue, which is being rebuilt in Tuscarora by our CBO Tamos Shan. We are finishing up construction at this time, and will re-start our live performances soon. In addition, we are re-vamping our old ZEN Live! into ZEN Lounge!, a new blues lounge concept.

The rest of our goals from last month:

-Completion of the new ZEN HQ and community center (currently 95% complete)

We have completed our museum, land sales office, investor relations office, town hall, AR office, and community conference room. The rest is in progress.

-Complete ZEN Company organizational analysis and provide all employees with titles, clear job responsibilities, and compensation plans.

DONE! We are pleased to announce our staff as follows:
-ZEN Corporate-
Zaldar Rhode, Chairman
Ashleigh Wade, Chief Executive Officer
Annabis Moody, Chief Operating Officer
Arnaud Villota, Chief Client Services Officer
Tamos Shan, Chief Build Officer

-ZEN Marketing & Development-
Annabis Moody, Chief Operating Officer
McChris Flanagan, ZEN Media Manager

-ZEN Operations-
Arnaud Villota, Chief Client Services Officer
Tamos Shan, Chief Build Officer
Sword Rotaru, Estate Manager
Kahski Tuqiri, Estate Manager

-AZ Homes -
Zaldar Rhode, Chairman
Ashleigh Wade, Chief Executive Officer
Tamos Shan, Chief Build Officer

Each have been given a title, job description, and some a land allowance. More information can be found in our Avatar Resources office.

-Create duties and responsibilities guidelines for board members.

To Do

-Begin creating individual goals for the business units once organizational analysis is complete.

In Progress….

-Build out ZEN shops in the new community center.

Not progressing with this project.

-Conduct regular town hall meetings to gather the community feedback.

We had two town halls in November. Ongoing.

So we’re working hard. And all-in-all, it feels good. Looking forward, I think we are going to continue to see a challenging landscape, and will need to examine our business constantly. Obliviously there are some items that need evaluation and tightening. December will be about lining out our processes, and getting the word out what a great community we have. We have some land in Panther Valley and Blue Mountain available, and we are as committed as ever to making sure you have a fantastic SL experience. Contact me or any of our staff to today and come find out how ZEN is bringing a Second Life Community to Life!

Another month! It's amazing how time flies. So, what's happening at ZEN? In short phrase, A LOT!

First, I totally missed the boat last month regarding the financials. Because we were able to get all the boxes in our holding alt's name so quickly coupled with an exceptional effort on behalf of our staff and board we were able to produce a profit of L$38,216 for the month (Arnaud has posted the financials in the appropriate part of the forums). I am so happy to see this, and the future of ZEN looks just as positive. To that end, a dividend of L$.01/share is being declared for this month and should be paid in the next few days.

So now our operational status. We are currently running at about 85-90%capacity. Its really inspiring considering the environment. We also are pleased that we have not been affected at all by the recent change in LL policy regarding open sims. We have four class 5 full sims. So all-in-all we look healthy going in to November.

As far as our goals, let me bring you up to status:
-Completion of the new ZEN HQ and community center (currently 75% complete)
Work continues on the community center. This month we will be furnishing the build and finalizing everything.

-Begin work on a new boardwalk project
This project has been put on the back burner for now, although discussion and pre-planning will most likely resume toward the end of the month.

-Identify deadbeat tenants and remove them from the property
This has been completed :)

-Revive ZEN Live! and begin scheduling events and concerts
This is ongoing. We are working to secure a media manager at this time and have a solid candidate we are working with. In addition, some other changes to ZEN Live are being discussed as part of our town hall meeting feedback.

-Complete an exciting Halloween promotional
OMG if you missed this you really missed something.

In addition we’ve identified and defined the following additional goals for the month:
-Complete ZEN Company organizational analysis and provide all employees with titles, clear job responsibilities, and compensation plans.
-Create duties and responsibilities guidelines for board members.
-Begin creating individual goals for the business units once organizational analysis is complete.
-Build out ZEN shops in the new community center.
-Conduct regular town hall meetings to gather the community feedback.

SO, it's been a great month for ZEN. We still have growing pains and the regular day to day issues, but overall I'm so proud to see that our team has gelled operations so quickly. I look forward to the point when my focus can move from laying the infrastructure to using that infrastructure to move ZEN forward into the future.

Wow, what a fast and exciting month it’s been. Time flies.

Before I go into the status of the estate, I want to thank you for your interest in Zhenya Zoning Real Estate Company. People like you are what makes ZEN a vibrant and successful community. The management board of ZEN is proud to have such active and interested people. Without you, we would be just another empty estate.

Now onto our operational status. Currently the sims are robust with community. So robust, in fact, it’s sometimes hard for me to get any work done with all the people flying about and asking questions. It’s a good problem to have though, for both ZEN and our clients. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love our traffic and appreciate that they choose ZEN as a destination for their time in-world. And why wouldn’t they? Between our bustling Fifth Avenue shopping district in Tamaqua, our gallery shops in Panther Valley, our resident community in Tuscarora and our vast space and woodlands in Blue Mountain we have the right mix to fit pretty much everyone’s needs. ZEN is an experience unto itself and that dream was masterfully achieved by Zaldar.

I would like to share with you a few things we have done over the last month and bring you up to date on our transition. Over the last month we have been actively reviewing operations. In that period of time we have:
-Installed a management board to actively maintain the estate
-Conducted and completed an initial survey of all four sims
-Created a holding alt to provide for clean and transparent transactions
-Installed ZEN rental pavilions in each sim with rental boxes for each tenant
-Identified potential ways to reduce excess indirect expenses
-Began reviewing promotional activities and other ways to optimize the organization
-Established basis for new projects, such as a new ZEN HQ and community center

As you can see, we’ve been busy. But the work doesn’t stop there. For this next month we are working on:
-Completion of the new ZEN HQ and community center (currently 10% complete)
-Begin work on a new boardwalk project (currently in pre-planning phase)
-Identify deadbeat tenants and remove them from the property (currently underway)
-Revive ZEN Live! and begin scheduling events and concerts (currently underway)
-Complete an exciting Halloween promotional (currently underway)
-Continue streamlining and optimizing operations (always underway)

We have some hefty goals for the month, but we also have a great team to get it done. I am excited to be a part of this team.

As always, there is also a bit of warning that goes with the great news. Currently we have a lot of parcels for sale in Blue Mountain, and each day that goes by causes a further revenue shortfall. I am encouraged by the pace at which we sell parcels, however space sitting open for as long as it has is sure to have some impact on our bottom line. We also have some inefficiency that must be wrought out of the organization. Forecasting for the month of October I am not expecting grand results, perhaps even a loss. I think it only fair to let you, the shareholder, know this upfront.

It should also be noted that financials were posted on October 4th by our CFO, Arnaud Villota (see that section in the forums). We decided to hold off on a dividend this month to ensure continuing operations. If any of you depend on a dividend and are facing a shortfall, please let me know and I will work to find a solution for you.

Overall I am highly encouraged and optimistic about the state of affairs with ZEN. I expect that it will take another month or two to really put everything through the wringer and shake everything out to make ZEN the best it can be. I would ask each of you to check out Tamaqua, Tuscarora, Panther Valley and Blue Mountain at your next opportunity to see how ZEN is truly bringing a Second Life Community to life.

When I get more time, I will create an "index page" so that you can select the financial report that you want.

The good news is that we are in the black! The sad news is that we won't be paying dividends this month as a precautionary measure (blame me, now that I'm responsible for the financials I'm suddenly a conservative! :) )

Once the transition is completely finished, and we are way ahead of schedule on that, then dividends will once again resume. I apologize for the dissapointment this month but want to thank you all again for your patience through this transition period.

Also, as you look at the income statement, please keep in mind that the numbers were reconstructed by Guardian Market with the best information available due to Zaldars computer crash as discussed in the prior post.

You will notice that we are keeping the numbers very conservative this month, thus the loss in retained earnings. We have done a complete audit of all ZEN sims and we are confident that the loss will be only for August.
There are sufficient renters to meet or exceed tier for September so hopefully I will have better news for you in 10 days with the September financials. I will begin working on those once these are approved.

The balance sheet has been reworked to make it more conservative. The two big changes you will see are Long Term Investments are no longer listed, because those were Zaldars private investments not those of Zen; and the Common Stock has been revalued to .01 Par value which is customary and also makes the balance sheet more conservative. The paid in capital represents the IPO proceeds (From all investors except Zaldars stock) plus the investment made by Ashleigh and myself to purchase Panther Valley. We received 300,000 shares (150,000 a piece).

Those are the main points. If you have any other comments or questions, please post in the forum under the Financial Comments Topic.

Thanks.

Since this is a long winded explanation, I will put the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet in their own posts.

The problem is that we need to estimate income from August 1 through August 20 because after Zaldar's machine crashed his daily records went with it. As you know Linden Lab only allows us to grab the last 30 days of transactions history. So we know exactly what happened from Aug 20 on, but we have nothing on record prior to Aug 20.

This doesn't present a major problem. Guardian put together an Income Summary that states as best he can the state of affairs for August, and Zaldar has been helping a lot explaining balance sheet items and answering some off the wall questions from yours truly. :) We know for sure that all tier has been paid for all of the SIMS so ZEN is solvent and that's the main thing that counts. We have made a few changes to the balance sheet as well bringing it into better compliance which actually has simplified it as well.

I am attempting to find a site where I can publish the spreadsheet version of the financials. If I can't find one, then I will post the text version in this forum.

Thank you for your patience and support of ZEN. Hopefully we will get the halt off soon and get back to trading.

Over the weekend we held two sessions to collect investor thoughts and comments regarding our company.

In Friday's session, we had two investors in attendance.
In Saturday's session, we had no investors in attendance.

A quick recap of discussions from the sessions:

- Financials are being completed at this time. iVentures Group has assisted us in pulling together the information, however there are still some outstanding items, and unfortunately we have lost transaction information for the beginning of August. Arnaud Villota is spearheading the completion and we hope to post both August and September by the next deadline. More information on this will be posted as available.

- A full operations and parcel review has begun and is about 75% complete. We have established a holding alt to allow for transparent and clean transaction info going forward. We are in the process of installing ZEN rental pavilions in each of the sims, which allow tenants an easy, convenient access to recent ZEN announcements and a central place to pay their tier. We have also started utilizing a project management system, central desktop, to help us organize our thoughts and share information more efficiently. The project management system is being paid for by me for the time being.

- We currently have all our open land available for L$1/Parcel. Tier rates are now L$1.7/m2 per month for Tamaqua, Tuscarora, and Blue Mountain. Rates in Panther Valley are L$1.9/m2 per month, due to a high prim bonus. We have had much success with our sale, specifically in Tuscarora where 8256m2 was sold this weekend, representing the entire available inventory.

- Further discussions included revamping our road system, building a new HQ and community center, ZEN 5th Avenue and holiday promotions. We also have a few other projects in the works.

All-in-All, you can see that we are working are to bring ZEN even more to the forefront of SL communities. Please feel free to stop by at any time; or IM me with any questions. You can even request a tour of our spectacular 4 sim estate.

Kind Regards,
Ash

Sorry for the double post. I only hit Save once.

I am writing on behalf of the proposed Board of Directors to inform you of proposed changes in our company, both in management and in operations.

First and foremost on everyone’s mind is the financial reporting issue. As noted before, Zaldar has issues with connecting to SL. His communication access is limited to phone and the Drexel University computer labs, which only allows access to email. We are diligently working on this issue, and have retained the iVentures group to work with Zaldar on getting the numbers together.

Now on to some other issues that the company faces. Currently our sims are running just fine and we are not in jeopardy. Quite the opposite, our community is strong and, as you can see from our response, we are dedicated to our shareholders and tenants. But, unfortunately, I have to advise that Zaldar is also facing a large amount of time consuming RL projects and issues that will require more of his dedication. Because of this, he does not have the capacity to solely manage four bustling sims. As a result, he is going to relinquish day-to-day oversight of ZEN to a new management team.

We present for the shareholders consideration, a new board of directors and management team:

Proposed new Management Structure:

Ashleigh Wade, Chief Executive Officer
Annabis Moody, Chief Operating Officer

Proposed Board of Directors/Management Board:

Zaldar Rhode, Chairman of the Board and ZEN Trustee
Ashleigh Wade, Chief Executive Officer
Annabis Moody, Chief Operating Officer
Arnaud Villota, Director
Gabrielle Maktoum, Director
Strider Messmer, Director
POSITION OPEN FOR NOMINEE AT MEETINGS, Director
iVentures Volitant, Director and Shareholder Advocate

We plan to hold two meetings to collect thoughts, votes and nominations for the open board position.
Friday, September 26, 2008 at 7:00PM SLT - Zhenya Zoning Real Estate HQ Lobby
Saturday, September 27, 2008 at 9:00AM SLT - Zhenya Zoning Real Estate HQ Lobby

Finally, I am pleased to advise that a head-to-toe review of the sims and business operations has begun by the proposed board. This will enable ZEN to become a lean, more efficient company.

We can’t express to you how excited we are about our direction. We are pleased with the formation of our new team and we look forward to the shareholders ratification.

Visit Tamaqua, Tuscarora, Blue Mountain, and Panther Valley today and you will see how ZEN is truly Bringing a Second Life Community to Life!

Sincerely,
Ashleigh W. Wade

ZEN team, it is best to contact me through e-mail at iventuresgroup@gmail.com and we can reconvene there. If you provide us with sufficient information, we can help you further on the consolidation of the financials.

I want to acknowledge the halt in trading and advise that we are currently working with Zaldar to complete the financials. Among other reasons, the delay has been caused due to the crash of Z’s laptop, and the fact that his access to email is now limited to his university’s computer lab. During his limited access Arnaud Villota, Annabis Moody, Gabrielle Maktoum, Strider Messmer, and I are working on the estate and maintaining day-to-day operations.

Financials will be completed ASAP. Bear with us as we gather everything through Z’s limited access. We have requested the assistance of the iVentures Group to help us gather everything together.

A full release outlining some proposed changes in ZEN will be forthcoming in the next 48 hours. We look to hold a shareholders meeting next week.

In the meantime, it’s business as usual at our vibrant community, especially our 5th Avenue shopping district. So pop up that map, search for sims Tamaqua, Panther Valley, Blue Mountain or Tuscarora and explore what makes ZEN’s Ata one of the most exciting and vibrant estates in SL.

Kind Regards,
Ash

I think its not realy a surprise that the market doesn't react.
In the last time the market was flood with bad news and most of the few good news where fakes (MNM buyback plans).

At the moment the general atmosphere is negative.
People lost to much with SLW and MNM (more then 100 milion Linden liquidity trapped and probaly lost in this two
Companies). That makes people think that investing in companies in a stockexchange means to throw money down the drain.
More then just a new sim is needed to break this trend.
