Letter from the CEO

Since long before joining SL, I've studied and gamed theories of living and transacting commerce in an economy with exponential growth and unlimited potential. Since joining SL last September, I have applied these ideas to my business activities to date: Financing my first half sim in mid October themed on the novel Snow Crash (and paying off a 5 month note in two months) through My Second Bank, going on to launch the Surreal BT Estate and its continent of Ancapistan in late December with 9 sims, and building a company stable of 13 sims to date of various types, with the finest infrastructure and services in SL: top notch roads and sidewalks, the only working subway system in SL (three lines, no less), streetlights, infocenters, ATMs and news vendors, as well as top notch sim security of automated and human types. We have ordered 23 sims to date and expect delivery within a week.

In this time, we have subdivided and sold out our sims almost completely, built a number of major buildings for ourselves and our clients (including the Hope Capital Centre, Empire Capital, Citta Ruwart Shopping, the Island of Wailoa in Peret, the VCE building, The Lorrey Tower and Lorrey Trade Tower, as well as the full scale World Trade Center in Friedman, the new AVIX Exchange, and the Stephensonian Institution building). We have developed innovative products, like the Stone Brewery's for-profit beer kegs vending temporary beers, the Ng Security Rat Thing agent profiler system, Snooze n Cruise's Beach Blanket Bingo, all while fighting an active campaign against the scourge of griefing across SL.

Brautigan & Tuck is now poised and ready to take the next step in its evolution. I originally founded this company not for wealth or fame, but to create a way to work from home and financially support my ill elderly parents. Achieving that has been the motive for my unrelenting drive for success, which has resulted in turning a few hundred USD investment 6 months ago into a firm with an auction value of at least 173,900 USD. The next step in this evolution will require the assistance of many others in SL believing in my vision, seeing the potential of SL, but also being committed to making that vision happen.

I believe that when a person makes the conscious commitment to achieve something, not to just try, that the universe will reorder itself to help them reach that goal. This is not necessarily a spiritual analogy, but the observation that creativity, dedication, and perseverence attracts the things that make dreams possible to achieve: capital, powerful connections, the respect of ones peers and staff, and most of all, the enthusiasm of the market.

With the end of Linden Labs' First Land program, it is that much harder for a newbie to catch a break in SL, even when that break was often accompanied by unscrupulous developers. Since first starting, I've sought to mentor and encourage newbies to achieve their dreams, financially backing some of the more promising. With the IPO of Brautigan & Tuck, the avatar on the street can once again profit from the great land boom in SL, by investing in B&T directly. No other company in SL offers this opportunity so directly, I encourage all to take advantage of this, and work with us at B&T to achieve all of our dreams.

Business Overview

Our primary business focus right now is real estate development. We intend to use the bulk of capital raised to purchase 23 sims, which will be subdivided and sold off, building a new private continent, and extending our infrastructure through it. B&T has historically been able to earn significantly in excess of 100% profits on its cost of land and tier, which is the reason for its phenomenal growth. B&T does this by offering a top notch sim environment to people at market competitive prices, and plowing all profits earned to date back into more land/sims. Unlike other companies that rely on often unverifiable claims as to earnings, the public can visually see B&T grow, by the number of sims it buys and builds into its continent. Every new round of sim buying will be determined, in size and timing, by the profitability of B&T in the stage before it.

We have already secured orders for 5 sims for individual parties, to be developed by BNT, as well as another future 9 sim development for one of the major financial institutions in SL.

Between rounds of sim purchases, B&T plans on utilizing its proven skill at stock investment to back other firms in the capital markets with its excess liquidity, to amplify company profits and real estate growth.

By the end of 2007, B&T intends to have a minimum of 300 sims under its control, generating between 1.0 billion to 2.0 billion L$ in cumulative capital gains for its shareholders, and monthly operating revenues in excess of 6 to 12 million L$ per month.

Business Strategy

B&T's business strategy has been to focus laser-like on getting the job done with quality. Our sims are testament to that ethic: the finest roads and sidewalks, the only subways in SL, the best estate security. The sims of Lorrey and Friedman receive regular visits from folks like Philip Linden, who show these sims as examples of excellence in SL.

These features offer great value to our residents beyond the market competitive prices we charge. We price our product above or near market averages while delivering top-end quality that people appreciate. This attracts valuable anchor residents, like AVIX, Empire Capital, Forseti Group, My Second Bank, SLPay, The Bank, among others, which raise property values with their arrival.

Business Strengths

We started off with a price advantage over the competition: our first major sim buy was 10 class 5 sims at old class 4 pricing. With this advantage, we now have as a resident, the new financial center of Second Life, the World Trade Center and AVIX Exchange in Friedman, which is attracting immense numbers of people looking for land nearby. B&T has already taken 5 cash deposit reservations for entire new sims within the estate, and numerous others have expressed intent to purchase smaller lots.

B&T is also innovative, in bringing consumer products to SL that are RL branded, creating new security products and services, innovating new business models for architecture and construction, and much more.

B&T has also been at the forefront of proactive efforts to end the scourge of griefing in SL. While others either look the other way, or ignore the problem, and still others try to pay off the miscreants to be left alone, B&T has been agressive in both taking the fight to the enemy, penetrating griefer groups with intelligence operatives, while at the same time raising public awareness and outrage at official negligence in ending the means by which SL is infiltrated by criminals. We have prevented a large number of attacks on our estate, furry sims, as well as attacks on Clinton and Obama campaign offices.

Risk Factors

- SL suddenly becomes the thing to not do: With CBS/Showtime TV show "The L Word", filmed in SL, becoming enormously popular, this is unlikely.
- RL Governments tax SL commmerce: US congress is holding hearings, and even some fools in SL want RL government regulation rather than community self-regulatory agencies.
- A competitor to LL creates a better world: while some virtual worlds do provide a more up to date simulation environment, none provide the economic features of SL.
- Too many developers create a glut of land available. If this evinced itself, we'd have seen some dip in land price escalation. SL user numbers are growing faster than developer numbers, its a rather mathematical exercise. Gluts result from too much of the same thing. We strive to offer product excellence beyond what is seen in other areas of SL.
- Key players caught in Risk API web: the faulty LL Risk API may question too many transactions of key players and seize their accounts, as done to Nexxus Ambassador. This is a real risk that can only be protected by Key Man Insurance.
- Protection of Company Work Product. Along with Key Man issues, comes issues of control of the intellectual property created by persons in the employ of B&T on a for-hire basis under IP law. It is only by retaining full rights to paid-for work product that physical plant asset value can be retained in a form that is modifiable by future staff. To resolve this issue, B&T has registered with Linden Labs as a developer and has reserved the last name "BnT" for use by its employees, much as staff of LL use the name "Linden" and Anshe Chung use the name "ACS".
- Interference in Estate Operations: We've already run into this issue, as the Surreal BT estate's official owner, Cerze Ophelia, has been MIA for more than a month now. To mitigate the possible risk of long term problems from this, we've begun heavily lobbying LL at all levels for a positive resolution involving transfer of the existing sims to IntLibber Brautigan's direct control.
