HillAnt Corp
HillAnt Corp invests in ANY and ALL business oppertunities that give the best return on cash and time investment. A business that gives a high return on little time and little value invested is a good one. If a planting a garden with trees, butterflies, flowers, bunnies, kittens, lambs, fairies, unicorns, rainbows, gnomes, elves, druids, diviners, sorcerers earns good ISK... HillAnt corp will do it!
HillAnt Corp is primarily intended to encourage entrepeneurship. That means that corp members (and freelancers) are encouraged to make the corp a succes through monetary rewards and generous contracts. By venturing to explore innovative and profitable ways to crack profits out of the eve market in good old capitalist fashion. HillAnt Corp differentiates in that all its investments are intended to be involved investments. Ie if a HillAnt corp member and shareholder invest it is likely intended as a move to innovate the business that is invested in.

The sharp increase in darthfish share ownership and decrease of mine is because of the earlier way i changed my accounting methods. Because my change of accounting dropped share price for no in game reason i compensated the difference by giving a portion of my own shares.
The sharp increase in asset value compared to comparetively low profit is due to the value of stockpiled ores and minerals that haven't sold yet.
The previously non-disclosed shares are owned by the oppertunist. He had a spy in the corp earlier and bought a few shares. That old war is now already over by the way.
things started slow today, but by the end of the day i got a wormhole operation going using 25 million isk worth of collateral to collect atleast 101 million ISK worth of goodies in under 6 hours.
sleep first,
My personal base of operations has moved over to a low/high sec region with a couple of highsec islands. Buying the minerals and ores below trade hub value. Its a slow process, but it is very reliable. I am experimenting with other things, but those things are experiments which can go any way, altough they are based on a very good first attempt.
I ran all numbers and this is the value of the corporation i came up with...
Made some expensive mistakes today. Tomorrow i will probably be gone for the full day. I have started some research activities with my research alt.
Some of the experiments i did were discovered and i need to check up on them, buts its just not too easy because they are in nullsec. Some of the products i used to sell are selling below manufacturing cost. I am training for 100% manufacturing efficiency, but it will be a while. The corp is now officially in an alliance (with Blame the Bunnies) whom i will learn some things from over the next days.
At any rate i will probably be gone for the 24 hours due to RL.
14 days okay i took on a 500m investment (that i signified as a 500m liability in the balance sheet) with the promise to pay back 750m today plus 25% of the profit i make on top (14 days later, today).
I did not make enough profit on the investment and but i did pay back the 500m and the additional 250m.
In addition i will revamp the way in which i valuable the corporate assets. They will be valued at the price which it cost me to obtain the items. In the past i put them at the value at which i think i would sell them and while that was somewhat accurate, no longers seems appropiate considdering markets can change as quick as they can. Shares will be available again after i post a financial update (probably in the next 18 hours).
I expected to get profits from one person i invested in previously, that is now largely inactive in addition to one product which was profitable because of the patch (which is now down to production cost). I got stuck in my old ways and i hate it. I flinched and panicked a little and today was a confrontation for me because i did not make the profit i promised or expected because of my mistakes.
And now i need my sleep
goodnight
looking at it, it takes me about 1.5 hour to do a proper financial report for a 3 day period
i can do it faster, i do better every day.
The drop in asset value is because i changed the value listings of the products. Im pondering about setting every asset that i manufacture to the value of the things that it took me to obtain those items instead of setting them at the price i think ill sell them at at least. Even if i dont, the prices of all the products are presently very low.
set up my manufacturing lines again and put up sale orders, though the 0.01ISK warriors are up so sales are a little slower and so im not making up a complete report yet as i dont feel there have been significant changes
For the last 4 days i have been easing or slacking as it is called in honesty. I will continue to I have focussed intensely on missioning for the purpose of obtaining perfect refining in the region i focus on and on the side reading up on PvP related information, fittings and many things that dont have either the market window, the transaction log or the eve online market discussion OR the sale order discussion boards as their primary interface. I have underestimated the time it takes to get refining character skills up alongside standings and have been moving back to market PvP and what not today and reaximing my aproach to an experiment i have been working on which in the least caused me to curtail my time on the market and shrink profits.
Nevertheless i did learn a whole lot more about the eve universe and also many things that will allow me to interact and investigate its regions with greater efficiency. Getting more used to the hotkeys i set up and several map related functions as well as the ombey maps i referred to earlier. I am growing accustomed to some things that used to be overwhelming to me a week ago.
Sleep sound and well
started exploring the buying and selling high market today. Putting up relatively low buy orders across the market and and re selling high. Shipping from outside the trading hubs region cheap made in china goods and shipping them back for cheap experiments. I feel i need to do something i used to do which was tracking down other trading people and talking to them. I dont like my margin a lot.
Collected some data today
made some more sound trades. one investment oppertunity is slow to respond to my offer which ties up my hands a bit. RL had me distracted for 6 straight hours today. Be running a few experiments tomorrow.
But not tonight...
sleep first.
You can see the finance report its format has been slightly changed. (For intent of clarity)
A new investor popped up who bought 600.6m worth of new shares.
I added a few information boxes i can fill in. Corp reserve stands for the share reserve the corporation has and is not counted in total. Virtual total is the total plus the reserve shares and virtual dividend is what i have to fill in in the eve dividend box in order to pay everyone the amount listed under dividends. The difference between virtual dividend and real dividend then automaticly returns to the corporation.
I found a few contact in whom i will probably invest to all our benefit.
In the last 2 days i made one mistake which cost about 50m worth of profit which shows painfully compared to the rest of the time.
basicly i have been very busy today but mostly in RL (moms birthday). Two people joined the corp. Atleast one which requires my attention for a few days. Because i had little time i also will not post a finance report or do all the accounting that goes along with it. Today will be included in tomorrows finance report alongside dividends.
spreadsheet for your refine trading activities.
