NYANCAT FINANCIAL: YOUR FRIEND FOR LIFE

Nyancat Financial Weekly Letter to Shareholders
Sunday September 16th, 2012

also available at: http://www.tsukino.ca/cpa/nyan/nyancat-statements/2012-37-nyan-statement/

First please allow me to apologize for not releasing a letter to shareholders last week. There is a story behind this, and it's a good one, and I felt it should be told all at once. I believe NYAN shareholders will appreciate the reasons for my silece when they read this letter.

Week 36:
NYAN   paid 0.57% (0.005 per share on NAV of .88)
NYAN.A paid 1.00%
NYAN.B paid 2.00%
NYAN.C paid 1.35% (0.005 per share on a NAV of 0.37).

Week 37:
NYAN   paid 0.47% (0.00364442 on NAV of 0.78)
NYAN.A paid 1.00%
NYAN.B paid 2.00%
NYAN.C paid 1.76% (0.00411237 per share on a NAV of 0.233).

First a quick note. CPA and NYAN. CPA and NYAN are separate companies. CPA insures NYAN.A and insures that even if NYAN.B and C go to zero, NYAN.A. will always be worth 1 bitcoin and will always pay out 0.01 a share. That is the connection between the companies. CPA holds ~1100 shares of NYAN. That's it. They are not related in any other way and transactions are kept separate. People who say that I am intertwining my companies or using them to support or prop each other up are stupid trolls. I will release my CSV for NYAN publicly if I have to. These people, these trolls, are sickeningly stupid. And some of them are probably sockpuppets. I had to ask myself, why was every troll attacking CPA last week someone new with less than 50 posts? Big clue people, big clue. I don't mind answering honest questions. But trolls can go to hell.

Ok so here is the situation.

The Good.
1. We sold out 4,000 shares of ASICMINER at about a 10% profit
2. We reduced our exposure in OBSI.HRPT and will be reducing risk in NYAN.C slowly by increasing holdings of high-yield miners at bulk purchase rates.
3. NYAN.A will have continuous and considerable obverflow starting next month because it's #1 holding (BMF) just passed a motion to double dividends.
4. We sold off all our BDT several weeks ago. Because I knew, I just knew. I don't always know, but I knew this time.
5. NYAN.A is worth 1 bitcoin per share, long and strong.
6. I donated 4,000 of my own personal CPA shares to NYAN.B as a signal to investors that I am here for you and I will not stand for bullshit in these markets, NYAN is the best, end of story. If I make NYAN the best, then I will make it all back and more when NYAN gets bigger and I make more money for running it. I thank you for your patience and your trust here.

The Bad.
1. Some of the profit from ASICMINER had already been realized as capital appreciation, so NYAN.B has a small net loss (which was covered by NYAN.C, so don't worry).
2. There is a massive liquidity crunch these days because Matthew and Pirate.
3. NYAB.B lost further money because DMC is down.
4. NYAN.B is worth .95 per share --> but don't worry, this is an accounting convention. It still pays 0.02 per share each week. We will likely make back the .05 this week and if not NYAN.A will overflow. And if not we'll take the assets from NYAN.C. Don't worry just yet.

The Ugly.
1. I have heard some asset issuers have recieved death threats because investors lost money in their funds. Get a grip pepole, that is not cool. If you cannot handle losing money investing on your own put it with a competent fund manager. And do not invest more than 10% of your money in one security.
2. Matthew defaulted. It's a pity he had to throw his reputation away like that and even worse that he will take down DCOA with him, and bitcoin magazine, etc.
3. Now that the Zeek news is out it is blatantly obvious pirate has no money. I marked all PPTs to zero and will be dumping them if possible for spare change.
4. NYAN.C is worth 0.233 per share.


So ok basically what is my plan to fix all this? For one, yes I do a lot of trading but ultimately if you have chosen to invest in a high risk security like NYAN, there is not much I can do to stop any particular other company from defaulting. If you cannot handle this level of risk I strongly suggest you invest into NYAN.A or NYAN.B. I have reccomended a balanced approach from day one. This is reflected in the number of shares NYAN holds: 817 A, 299 B, 143 C. I know many of you invest in exactly the opposite way; 800 C, and 100 A. This is bound to loose you money. High risk securities should occupy only 10 or 15% of your portfolio. A wise investment strategy will invest a majority of it's assets into highly liquid, safe securities like mining, or insured issues like nyan.a.

Again, I have said from day one in these letters, don't go balls to the wall in NYAN.C. For those of you who did not listen, I am sorry. For those of you who did listen, now is a great time to buy more NYAN.C. Please see "A NEW HOPE" below.

So for now, we will just try to get through this shitty time where literally every week 1 or 2 major companies, lenders or services blow up. Then with careful asset management and good trading skills, we can slowly raise the value of NYAN.C. On my end, i'm working hard trading here. We made 25 bitcoins trading OBSI.HRPT during the confidence crisis last week when Obsi announced he would have bad news (i.e. he had been threatened by one of his investors). Further, NYAN.A has 1200 BMF and BMF recently passed a motion which will double it's dividends to almost 4% a week (in other words, to protect your income after the block reward cut in december, withot loss of NAV). So I am working hard on that not just for BMF and CPA investors but for NYAN as well. I have also scaled back on the dividends for NYAN and NYAN.C to around 0.5%-1% per week, and I will beusing the overflow to try and repair NYAN.C.


A NEW HOPE (Management Guidance for Week 38)

JRO is out of the picture.
Pirate is out of the picture.
Weak hand lenders like hashking are gone.
Personal loans as an asset class have been discredited.
Non-transparrent securities that don't tell you what they invest in have essentially been outlawed on GLBSE.
The need for insurance has been stated very clearly. So hopefully CPA will get more business. If CPA returns to .1 NYAN.B and C will benefit greatly.
BMF has passed a motion to purchase asics which will save the life of everyone invested in NYAN and BMF in the future (and double investor's rate of return in the short term).

It's indeed a brand new day. CPA and NYAN has stood the test of fire by surviving the Pirate Panic and not folding under pressure from Matthew. going forward I have bought 70 shares of FPGAMINING at around .60 for NYAN.C, and 50 more for NYAN.A Why? because it's a high-yield miner and I want to lower the risk profile for NYAN.C from "BANANNA-F******-INSANE" to "A SHOT OF WHISKEY" or maybe "FLIRTING IN A DANCE CLUB". I know that many of you were waiting until we completely wrote pirate off to invest in NYAN.C, but let's be honest. if OBSI.HRPT folds, NYAN.C will dissapear. It's one thing to be BANNANA-F-INSANE and another to be "Sensibly High Risk". I choose the latter. We need to diversify and not be just an OBSI.HRPT passthru. That's not high risk, it's just being naieve. I think everyone can see that now, hindsight is 20/20.... Remember this is not so much a managed fund; NYAN.C just invests in whatever pays the most (as per the contract). I think it's time to reign that in just a little and invest in whatever pays the most -- given the restriction that the things we invest in need to be a little bit more transparrent and above-board. So no more "personal loans" (although we'll hold what we have) and we will accumulate more securities like GVMT-BOT and high yield miners like FPGAMINING And TYGRR.BOND-A, JTME, OBSI.1MHS, and so forth. The nature of high risk may also change. ASICMINER would be considered a high risk security in my opinion because if they are not first or experience "hiccups" the opportunity cost in hindsight will become too great to bear. For example.

And now, for those of you have read this far....

I would like to present usagi's rules for NOT losing money investing in bitcoin. Please, please, please, consider what I have to say very carefully.

---> Usagi's 10 commandments for investing on your own in the Bitcoin Stock Market <---
---> Examine every stock in your portfolio, and every stock you feel like investing and ask yourself the following questions: <---

1. Has it paid regular dividends at least six times or has it been in operation longer than six months?
YES: BUY
NO: SELL

2. Does it charge more than 10% in management fees, have more than 20% in growth or maintenance fees, or does it take growth or management fees out of money allotted to dividends?
YES: SELL
NO: BUY

3. Does this security pay more than 1% a week (and is NOT a FPGA or ASIC miner?)
Yes: SELL
No: BUY

4. Does this security tell you what it invests in or what it's business model is?
Yes: BUY
No: SELL

5. Is it a personal loan or high risk passthru, or is it provided on a "best-efforts" basis?
Yes: SELL
No: BUY

6. If it is a fund, has the fund manager failed to beat the market? (I.E. for a mining fund, have they lost more than 60% over the past 3 months?)
YES: SELL
NO: BUY

7. For mining companies or bonds, is it a fixed-rate mhash per share?
YES: SELL
NO: BUY

8. Do you have more than 10% of your money in any one company?
YES: SELL
NO: BUY

9. Did you buy it because the price went UP or DOWN recently?
YES: DO SOME RESEARCH INTO THE COMPANY FIRST
NO: THEN YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ALREADY AND ARE CONFIDENT IN YOUR OWN DECISION

10. Is the asset issuer ID verified on the GLBSE?
YES: BUY
NO: SELL

The most important thing you need as a private investor is CONVICTION. Conviction does not come from watching prices go up and down for a long time. Conviction comes from doing research, asking questions to the asset issuer, and doing the math. There is also obviously a place for skill and experience to come through and push and help you succeed here. Investing isn't easy. So there is one more question, the bonus question.

BONUS. Did I invest without doing honest research into what I am investing in?
YES: GIVE YOUR MONEY TO A COMPETENT FUND MANAGER LIKE USAGI
NO: GOOD WORK, KEEP IT UP!

There is no shame in investing with someone who has a proven track record of success. The chances you will beat someone who does money management for a living are slim to none. At least invest 10% of your money with a manager and practice trading with 10% of your money before going all in. See who comes out ahead after 2 or 3 months. Try it!Fund managers do charge money this is true but if the service they provide was worthless no one would invest. Or, if a better fund manager came along he would get bigger and everyone would go to him and the bad funds would go out of business.

Ok. I would like to state that I am on IRC a lot and I love to chat, if you want to talk about NYAN please find me on IRC or e-mail me at usagi@tsukino.ca. I will answer all your questions about NYAN.

Just ask. Thanks!

Nyancat Financial Weekly Letter to Shareholders
Sunday September 2nd, 2012

also available at: http://www.tsukino.ca/cpa/nyan/nyancat-statements/2012-35-nyan-statement/

Good news and bad news. First the good news.

NYAN   paid 1.20%
NYAN.A paid 1.00%
NYAN.B paid 2.00%
NYAN.C paid 4.29% (0.03 per share on a NAV of 0.70).

FUND PERFORMANCE:
NYAN.A
NYAN.A had an okay week. NYAN.A is the easiest fund in the world to maintain. Step one, look
at the top three or four funds. Step two, buy a little more. Step three, if there's any hot
deals on a miner, buy it. We're currently a little overweight in BMF, but since I manage BMF
as well I can keep a very close eye on your money. I do invest specially for NYAN.A as well,
and you can see I have picked up a few choice deals especially for you guys such as JTME and
ZETA-MINING, both of which seem to be having strong results lately. The strategy is paying
off and there is a strong overflow of funds being paid into B and C. The highlights of the
week for A are a slight restructuring that traded some PPT assets for LTC-MINING. In the
future it's our goal to increase holdings of MINING, as well as certain choice investments
in BTC-MINING, FPGAMINING, and other such companies. Our long term strategy is to hold what
mining bonds we have, while using the profits to shift into non-deterministic mining "companies".
We feel that the "share the risk, share the reward" model offers much better future value than
bonds, which tend to experience capital losses as the difficulty rises with no hope of accretive
mhash/share gain. We did add a little JAH though, because we got a really good deal on it.

NYAN.B
Once again NYAN.B shocked us by returning almost 4% for the week. Most of the deals we got
from trading happened in NYAN.B. For example we were able to pick up thousands of BIB.BVPS
shares at the lows of the week. Beside BVPS we were able to catch a ton of GSDPT around 0.003,
and we cut a deal for yet more ASICMINER at below-market prices. The key here is that since
NYAN.B is getting so large, it's easy for us to maintain positions in a variety of companies
and pick up a deal whenever it falls into our lap. I'd like to see NYAN.A get this large. It
would be good for the fund. It seems a lot of people have been buying into NYAN.B. Well, we've
definitely reached critical mass here! So thanks for your support. Now it may be time to sit
on these B-class shares for a while and pick up some NYAN.A. I have some exciting plans in
store for NYAN.A, if I can get enough capital in once place I can justify cutting a deal with
a miner at up to 20% off. It may seem like NYAN.B isn't getting much for the work it's doing.
That isn't quite true; by overflowing into NYAN.C, you are protecting yourself. NYAN.C is
walking a rather thin line. If OBSI.HRPT defaults it could go to zero or almost zero, and then
one default in A or B will start hurting B's value. So fund overflow is in fact a valuable
shield for your future in NYAN.B.

NYAN.C
PPT shares remain excessively volatile, dropping to 0.1, rising to 0.30, and setting down
again around .15. We've not been trading PPTs and have marked them to their 5 day average
prices. However, our non-pirate holdings are starting to shine as OBSI.HRPT keeps chugging
along and a nice suprise from GVMNT-BOT, gaining 40% recently. This as well as the funds'
overflow from .A and .B have enabled us to pay a nice fat dividend of 4.29% while at the
same time raising the NAV from 0.70 to 0.71 this week! That's right, we're well on the road
to recovery at NYAN.C and there will only be a minor hiccup if pirate completely defaults.
We will continue to add to our non-pirate holdings and may look to take up to 10% of our
PPT holdings off the table should the price rise above last week's highs. But the big story
this week is the 750BTC hedge with Matthew. This may seem a little counter intuitive given
that we are a high risk fund, however we faced a situation where we would drop to 0.20 per
share if we didn't do this hedge. Stabilizing the fund by making this hedge felt like the
right thing to do, and now we're in a stronger position to start trading PPTs for profit.

The key strategy with .C going forward is how we can diversify. What high risk strategies
are out there now that pirate is gone? Of course a key component will be OBSI.HRPT and the
fact that we are trading like rabbits. We feel that the potential now lies with issues like
GVMT-BOT, BIF.1YR.LOAN and V.HRL (not to mention HRPT). With these and other issues we plan
to maintain a diversified dividend over 3% per week while slowly rebuilding the portfolio's
value up to 1. Overall, NYAN.C has emerged just a little smaller, but still packing a huge
dividend punch. We will increase the NAV to .72 next week if all goes well and attempt to
continue raising the NAV by 0.01 to 0.02 per week until we're back at 1.

NYAN
There are several exciting things on the horizon for NYAN. Our mandate is that we will profit
from operations as well as holding NYAN.A, B and C. However, just what operations are these
are still under development, but we are in "talks" with "companies". We may have an announcement
about this soon. Until then, NYAN will continue paying solid, safe and secure divs based on our
holdings of A, B and C.

Any questions, please ask!

NYANCAT FINANCIAL: YOUR FRIEND FOR LIFE

Nyancat Financial Weekly Letter to Shareholders
Sunday August 26th, 2012

also available at: http://www.tsukino.ca/cpa/nyan/nyancat-statements/2012-34-nyan-statement/

Slow week. Special decision about NYAN.C. Let's get down to work.

NYAN   paid 1.00%
NYAN.A paid 1.00%
NYAN.B paid 2.00%
NYAN.C paid 2.18% (0.01961814 per share on a NAV of 0.90).

FUND PERFORMANCE:
NYAN.A
NYAN.A had a stable cash flow all week. We got paid 0.37 for each GIPPT so far, with
hopefully more to come, but in any case we received enough money from operations
that we didn't need to rely on NYAN.B for this week's income. Management advice is to
hold NYAN.A and buy under 1. It appears to be maturing as a rock-solid investment fund
and the support it gets from NYAN.B and NYAN.C is considerable. Given that the pirate crash
won't even take NYAN.C to zero, there doesn't seem to be a lot of risk inherent in A.

NYAN.B
B class shares had an amazing week. NYAN.B single-handedly made enough money to pay dividends
for NYAN.A and NYAN.B, with overflow into C -- not counting the money overflow from NYAN.A.
All in all we're pleased with the performance of NYAN.B. We chalk this up to making a few
good trades here and there. Due to the pirate panic we were able to snap up some shares on
the cheap, and turn them over for a rather large profit (over 100% profit in one case).
Although it was for a small number of shares so it was diluted by the rather average returns
(2%-2.5%) of the rest of the fund. Management advises that NYAN.B is a hold and that NYAN.B
is currently overbought. We recommend diversifying into NYAN.A at this time.

NYAN.C
We have little choice but to mark the assets in NYAN.C to market. Keep in mind that while
NYAN.A and NYAN.B participated in buying PPT's at reduced prices, any losses affect NYAN.C
first. Right now we've decided to mark the PPT's in NYAN.C to market at 0.5 bitcoins per
share. This has dropped the NAV of NYAN.C to 0.70. However, we have decided to pay dividends
of 2.18% even though the value of NYAN.C has gone down. There are two main reasons for this
decision. One is the very important idea that pirate has not defaulted yet. We feel this is
a market panic and that the value of NYAN.C will recover. It therefore does not make sense
to us to kill the value of NYAN.C completely and not pay dividends. Investors in NYAN.C are
advised to hold. We will continue to pay dividends on NYAN.C to mitigate your losses and
pray that pirate pays back the money. The deal here is that Pirate owes about $4-5 million
dollars worth of bitcoins, and it is completely reasonable that he take 2 to 3 weeks to
organize and begin paying back investors. One might think he has interest money from
continuing operations but this is not necessarily the case. Closing out his contracts may
have prevented him from profiting from continuing operations because there are no more
continuing operations. Once again we advise against market panic and advice investors to
HOLD NYAN.C. In fact if you believe Pirate will pay back, like we do, this is a nice time
to start accumulating NYAN.C.

NYAN
NYAN had a rough week because we lost NAV due to exposure to NYAN.C. But we are just
going to mark this stuff to market and get the pain over with. NYAN did pay a small
dividend this week and is worth about 1 now. Next week dividends should be about 1%
again, and we should be able to maintain a value close to 1 btc per share.

Ok guys, thank you for your support, I will remain here to answer any questions you may have!

Serena

==========================================

Question from BinaryMage:
Q: Last week you announced a NAV of 0.90. Will you sell NYAN.C shares at 0.90?

A: Hello BinaryMage. Last week we didn't do that and kept the ask at 1, but this week we will be selling 480 shares of NYAN.C at the nav price of 0.70. We have decided to cap outstanding shares of NYAN.C at 3,000 until the other funds reach at least 3,000 (and probably 5,000) each. This is to help NYAN.C make more money and increase it's appeal to investors. A large part of the dividends on NYAN.C are overflow from A and B, especially due to the pirate crash. In this way, we can quickly repair the value of NYAN.C. It may be a rough couple of weeks until the pirate situation resolves itself, but we feel confident that once the pain is out of the system the overflow from A and B coupled together with NYAN.C's other investments will quickly repair the value of the fund.

For example let's say pirate crashes and the NAV of .C goes to 0.25. 1% overflow from .B and 1% overflow from .A is 0.02 bitcoins per share into .C. if .C itself makes 1% then that's 1% + (1%/0.25) + (1%/0.25) or 9% weekly interest rate for NYAN.C. So you see, rushing into NYAN.C is probably a bad idea NAV wise, but considering the dividend .C is likely to pay more than .A per share even when it's NAV is much lower. In a way, we feel you should value NYAN funds by the dividend they pay and not by their NAV. So then, if .A and .B both have a NAV of 1, and B pays 2x as much, is B worth 2x as much? Valuing these things can be tricky but I suggest that you just hold .C for now, regardless of the NAV, it should pay 0.01 per share or more going forward and we feel that's not too bad.

Nyancat Financial Weekly Letter to Shareholders

also available at: http://www.tsukino.ca/cpa/2012-33-nyan-statement/

Hello again everyone, let's start with the good news.

NYAN   paid 1.12%
NYAN.A paid 1.00%
NYAN.B paid 2.00%

And now for the bad news, NYAN.C will not pay a dividend and has dropped in value from
1 BTC per share to 0.91. This is a result of this week's double whammy of Pirate closing
down Bitcoin Savings & Trust, and the Johnathan Ryan Owens/Alberto Armani fiasco. In many
ways "fiasco" is a good word here, both because of how it rhymes with San Fransisco, and
because it is derived from an Italian word which English people have borrowed to mean abject
failure. If I may,

> But, touching “fiasco,� D. J. obligingly tells me that there was once at Florence

 The Week in Review:
Essentially, what happened is that NYAN.C was going to make 9.5% or 10% this week in spite
of ZIP.A and REBATE, but when Pirate closed his doors three terrible things happened all
at the same time: One, the value of YARR shares held by NYAN.B went from 1.50 to 1, which
is not that big of a deal, NYAN.C would have paid out 7 or 8%. Two, the implied value of
PPT products went from ~1.05 to 1. This was big, but we still could pay 2 or 3%. The real
big problem is people stared panicking and selling PPT products at 0.50 bitcents on the
dollar.

At the time this happened, it was very late for me here in Asia but nevertheless I sprang
into action and started making trades. Nyancat Financial invested HEAVILY into the PPT
products which people were panic selling. I made trades. I made deals. I talked to people.
I bought and I sold. I was able to save a little. Therefore, NYAN.C is not worth 50 cents
on the dollar, it's worth 91 cents on the dollar. And thus we come to the situation on the
ground now:

1. Yes, NYAN.C is worth 0.91 and there will be no dividend this week for NYAN.C.
2. NYAN.C owns 50% of the backing of YARR. This means if Pirate returns all the coins,
NYAN.C will own 50% of the remaining backing of YARR, valued at over 1,200 coins.
3. NYAN.C will reap ALL of the benefit of buying PPT products at reduced rates. We were
able to purchase about 350 shares of various PPTs with an average price of ~0.6 per
share.

In short, If Pirate skips town, NYAN.C will lose at least 0.50 bitcoins per share.
However, if Pirate keeps his word, NYAN.C will skyrocket in value to over 1.50 per share.
 Management Expectations and Guidance:
We believe in Pirate and our advice is, don't panic. We have always advised a balanced
risk portfolio and you see this now; if you had invested in NYAN, or if you had invested
1/3rd into A, B and C now, you would be up several percentage points despite the pirate
crash. We continue to recommend a diverse portfolio consisting of all three funds, or
simply NYAN.

If you have not yet diversified into NYAN.C, now is a great time to get in. We have to be
truthful about how the market is valuing NYAN.C and sell it at 0.90, but if you feel that
Pirate will return the coins, NYAN.C is a great play on "trust pirate". On the other hand,
if you have been NYAN.C heavy we reccomend now buying .A and .B and holding NYAN.C.

If you MUST sell your PPT products or your NYAN.C holding, please sell them for what they
are worth. Don't get crushed by a temporary market panics and lose your money. If you
previously have panic sold your PPTs, just buy NYAN.C. You will in theory recoup any
losses should pirate indeed pay back the coins.

Thank you for your support, I will remain here to answer any questions you may have!

All NAVs have been reset to 1. If you are interested in buying, a maximum ask of 1,000 shares has been placed at 1 bitcoin for each security for this week.

The Week in Review:
NYAN got off to a spectacular start, with shares of NYAN.C. selling out by wednesday and aftermarket action as high as 50x1.50, although most aftermarket shares went for around 1.07. The market felt NYAN.C would not be able to beat the Pirate standard but expectations were blown out of the water by an 8.62% dividend for those that bought in at 1 bitcoin on Sunday and Monday.

This week we had an unfortunate event, the triple whammy of BMF crashing from 1.0/share to 0.72, and both ZIP.A and REBATE being halted pending an investigation into the neglegent management of Johnathan Ryan Owens. We will provide guidance and updates on these issues to NYAN shareholders as we receive more detailed information.

The good news is we have been trading like little devils and have purchased 500 shares of ASICMINER at a 10% discount. We have passed this value directly to our shareholders in the form of dividends this week. We have also obtained 4,200 shares of DMC for only 50 bitcoins in a special one-time "insider" trade with Diablo-D3. We will be holding on to these shares for the long term as we believe DMC shares are severely undervalued. This could prove to be a life-changing trade for shareholders of NYAN.B and NYAN. There is still time to get in, so don't panic if you haven't bought shares yet. The askwall will be maintained at 1.0 BTC until monday afternoon.

Management Expectations and Guidance:
Although our bad luck with BMF, ZIP.A and REBATE was partially balanced with our good luck getting ASICMINER and such a sweet deal on DMC, nevertheless we experienced special losses from these events. Assuming that there are no such defaults again next week we feel confident standing by dividend guidance of approximately 2.5% for NYAN, 1% for NYAN.A, 2% for NYAN.B and 9.5% for NYAN.C.

Thank you for your support,

Serena

Nyancat Financial Statement of Operations for 2012 Week #31 (July 29th to August 4th)

Pooled from A:    0.0000
Pooled from B:    6.0000
Pooled from C:    0.2000

Paid to A: 5.75 (0.01/unit) 1%
Paid to B: 0.45 (0.00081227/unit) 0.0812%
Paid to C: 0.00 (0.00/unit) 0%

Paid NYAN: 5.00 (0.00324464/share) 0.3%


Management Guidance:
This week's dividends were out of only one day of operations. As a result, while there was certainly enough money to pay A one way or the other, there wasn't much left over to pay B or C. Dividends to NYAN holders were therefore also adversely affected.

I had debated whether or not to pay dividends since the first week was so short. I decided to pay to exercise the system I had set up to calculate the dividends. Things went relatively well and I have developed a general procedure to help guide the system a little more. Here's how we will be doing it:

a. On Friday or Saturday, all unit and share sales will be canceled.
b. On Sunday, dividends will be calculated and paid according to the contracts (automated by the spreadsheets on the Nyancat Financial holdings & NAV page).
c. A financial statement such as this one will be published.
d. Asks will be placed for sale of units no later than monday.


This means that you won't be able to buy shares of the funds or parent company 1 or 2 days before the dividend. This helps protect shareholders and helps protect their income from holding shares and units in Nyancat Financial. If you want me to restrict share sales further, speak up. Is it fair that people can buy on a friday and receive full dividends? Well in a way, the market should take care of this by raising the price slowly as dividend day approaches. Please share your thoughts.

Guidance for Week #32 (August 5th to August 11th)
(Note: Guidance contains forward looking statements and does not represent a guarantee.)

We expect gross dividends to be about 10x higher than Week #31. Expected Dividends for A, B and C are 1%, 2% and 9%.

Finally I would like to add that Nyancat Financial will incurr a one-time expense for the development of a logo and banner add. This cost should be no more than 15 to 20 bitcoins. This fee will be paid by Nyancat Financial; the unitholders in A, B and C will not be affected. I may try to spread this out over 2 weeks to minimize the impact to shareholders. In any case I will structure it in such a way as your dividends will tend to increase over time.

NOTE: This was published on the forums, the company webpage, and not least of all GLBSE. All investors saw it and had the opportunity to read it before investing.

II. Operations of NYAN
Nyancat Financial is a bitcoin-only financial services company. We perform various financial services for our customers including bitcoin deposit accounts, bitcoin brokerage services, bitcoin securities, bitcoin trusts, and bitcoin loans.

You continue to misrepresent what I said and ignore the explanation. Example: You said I made material misstatements about my assets. You've got to be joking. You'd better post that evidence you say you have because right now you look like another troll. Evidence, please. Post it in this thread or here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133823.0

Also, tried to cover personal losses with company assets? What the fuck? I donated personal money and shares to my investors. I took all the losses on YARR personally. You're batshit insane to make those claims and not have any evidence.  I used to think you were fair, well then let's see what evidence you've collected. Let's see it! Deprived has had 4-5 months now to come up with the evidence! And nothing.

Because these scam accusation threads have been going on for months. Months. Maybe you just got here but I am sick and tired of posting the same stuff over and over.

You said it yourself:


No, it's because you're not worth my time. I said "(interviews, conversations where valuation was discussed)"

1. Interviews. If you're saying I didn't conduct the interviews you're an idiot. If you are stating I have no proof that I conducted the interviews, you're also an idiot. Just ask friedcat, juan, garr or GivaVPS if I conducted interviews. I could also post them here, but for the fact you have hijacked a thread to troll your garbage.

2. Conversations where valuation was discussed.
You have been provided links to the specific conversation in which valuation was discussed. All information has already been discussed -- to death -- for months. here are a few threads you may be interested in:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85444.msg1169998#msg1169998
In this thread, the problem of CPA's finances was discussed. On the same page, this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85444.msg1172003#msg1172003) by puffn is the first statement that CPA may be bankrupt. it was NOT ME who was making these claims. I vigorously tried to stop people from saying that. The fact I have to put up with deprived and others now claiming it was me who said that and who was trying to crash the value of my company is proof that the claims against me are without merit. it wasn't me who was trying to crash the companies, it was others. I was doing my best. Yet you call me delusional?

Do you know how long this has been going on? Everything we are talking about has been covered here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113494.msg1228275#msg1228275

And, here is the original thread vampire quoted you again since you appear to be blind:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112734.msg1225674#msg1225674

In the same thread, even ian bakewell admits my valuation at ask price is correct:
** https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112734.msg1227182#msg1227182

You see you need to understand that some people like Ian, tried to defraud me and backed out of a contract in a hostile manner. This is a fact, please see the evidence at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133362.0

Since this time, Ian in particular changed from the nice person he was in the thread marked ** above into a major troll. As it turns out he is not a trustworthy person and is involved in three separate scam accusations now; one, ripping off CPA by breaking a contract, two, not processing BMF's claim of 432 shares, and C) using unissued or company shares to vote. These are facts and they are relevant to Ian in particular's attitude to me. Ian himself is relevant because he was one of the people in addition to puffn who was claiming we were bankrupt/insolvent.

These are relevant facts. They are not opinion.


You are lying, I did not admit to destroying material evidence. I told you three times I had reposted it and given you a link to the BMF holdings. Here for instance https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133168.0
that's not an opinion the holdings are listed there.


I repeat; you are as biased as puppet and deprived. You either can't, or won't, see what is going on here.

Usagi: We used fair value accounting as stated in our contract. Here's the proof (interviews, conversations where valuation was discussed)
BCB: Usagi has admitted he incorrectly valued the holdings, he should have used liquidation value.
Usagi: No, that's not what I said, are you misrepresenting me? I said, we had a mandate to buy and hold; fair value accounting specifically states that liquidation value will not be used.
BCB: Usagi is just like pirate. he can't bully me. He is a terrible fund manager. he is delusional and a liar.
Usagi: I refuse to deal with someone who treats me unfairly and in a hostile manner.

BCB:

I hope so. I'm having an extreme amount of difficulty with weexchange.go and bitfunder right now. Additionally bitfunder has no support which is reachable from outside the system so if you are having login issues or the verification code they send you doesn't work, you can't contact support.

Is that why you called me a delusional liar?




So you are claiming to have facts which state I am a liar and that I am delusional? If so why did you then post this, which insinuates you do not have evidence?



So far all I have seen is you saying that "it doesn't look good for usagi", comparing me to pirate, and saying I am delusional and a liar. I'll believe it when I see it. Until then it's not an attempt to "bully" you -- I just choose not to deal with you because you are obviously just trolling here.

Please, prove me wrong. I'd appreciate it.

Yes, this is a common fetish in Japan. There are two vending machines like this near where I used to live.

FWIW this gives me an idea. I could sell my wife's panties online too. I just asked her. When I told her she could get $80 for them she said "Really?"

I asked her again and she said "No! Don't be sick, Don't ask me for that, but if they want my socks it's okay".

I mean the separate charge of trying to crash my stock so I can buy it back. I mean WTF. Just a few hours ago it was being proposed that I was overvaluing securities. The picture that is being painted here is not very clear. I would appreciate it if the accusation was made in a form which could be verified and responded to that's all. Think before you take potshots thanks.

I warned you that if you continued to misrepresent me I would post the discussion we had. I'm going to write it up now.

BCB is not dealing with this case in a fair and equitable manner.

I sent BCB the following information in PM:
Hi. The charge of me misrepresenting the value of my assets seems central to this discussion. I would like to point out some things.

One, the spreadsheets were published on tsukino.ca/bmf, which was a wordpress site which I have deleted. So it is unrecoverable. however, you can know what was published there because I re-published the holdings of BMF here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133168.0

In response to this, BCB posted:
"the spreadsheets were published on tsukino.ca/bmf, which was a wordpress site which I have deleted. So it is unrecoverable. "
* admitting to deleting material information.

In the above, BCB has failed to account for what I said, that I republished the holdings of BMF. When he says that I "admit" to deleting "material information" he is blowing this out of proportion. The information was not material at the time it was deleted. Furthermore, thanks to puppet an eskimobob and not least myself there are copies of our holdings online. Taking what I said as "admitting" to deleting "material information" is a misrepresentation of what I said.



Point two was, "I had written into the contract that BMF would provide added value to investors via analysis. This was the value that I had put in to the spreadsheet initially. At a certain point in time (august?) EskimoBob, Puppet, Deprived, et. al began complaining that this was a form of falsifying NAV. So we had a long discussion. During this discussion I asked them if pulling data off GLBSE was the correct thing to do. They said yes in general (people thought it was a better idea) so I downloaded some kind of script to pull data off GLBSE and used a formula which looked at 24hr avg, 5 day avg, etc. and picked either the max or the average -- can't remember, the point being that it was data based directly off GLBSE. On the spreadsheet I announced this change and posted the exact formula. I also posted this formula in a letter to shareholders posted on the securities forum. However, in a separate discussion (not intended as advertising) I mis-spoke about the nature of the formula. I think I said "average" instead of "max" -- and this was taken as an attempt to defraud. Nothing could have been farther from the truth."

In response, BCB posted this:
he admits to incorrectly valuing his assets:
"I mis-spoke about the nature of the formula. I think I said "average" instead of "max" – "
He admits that while he was representing  the value of his investments in the future - if  the investor how liquidated their asset would actually receive less value.:

This is a complete 180 degree turn around from what I said. I did not, absolutely not admit that I incorrectly valued my assets! I am extremely upset that BCB would lie about what I said in this manner.

Point three was,
"After I had gone through this painful process the same people (eskimobob, deprived, puppet) and others continued to complain. So in desperation I ran a shareholder motion about the valuation. I also provided three independant ways to calculate the value; the share count, from the original spreadsheet, the analysis value I had written into the contract which was my duty to provide, and the new column valuing the holdings by using the GLBSE data. I went out of my way to provide as much information as I could. What was EskimoBob and puppet's response?

They produced a spreadsheet using the minimum of last traded price, 5 day avg, and bid -- designed to make my holdings look like crap. The value ended up around half of what I had posted, and they used this to say I was lying. The claim was that if someone wanted to liquidate their investments, that would be the price they could get. This is true but also extremely misleading -- as a fund we were more interested in future value and collecting dividends. It is very unfair to say I was misleading investors because I painted a picture of future value and dividend value, instead of telling them what they would get if they sold everything in a market order.

The problem with valuing that way is we always instantly lose money. if I buy at the ask and then value at the bid, I have to report a -5% or -10% on every trade and that is not logical. No fund operates that way. Not FDBF, SS, M.ETF, MU, GBF or anything. If we pay 100 BTC for BTC-MINING for example, we would keep the stock at 100BTC until something major or material turns up about the company or until the stock price crashed. I was never concerned with day to day fluctuations of 2% here, 5% there. It was my job to provide added value through analysis. That's my feeling. I hope it helps."

In response to the comments BCb made I issued him the following clarification in PM:

In response, BCB posts this:

I told him in PM that I did not appreciate the hostile way he was treating me. He responded by saying he never asked me to work with him and that I could not bully him into doing what I wanted () I told him, I would not work with someone who was being hostile to me in this manner. Then he posted this:


I contend that BCB is misrepresenting what I told him and is treating me in a hostile manner. I believe he is using his position of repsect in the community, gained from dealing properly with other scammers, to pile on yet more baseless claims against me. For all the talk of evidence and fairness, BCB has responded to me with innuendo and hostility, compared me to pirate, and ignored my statements of fact about how we ran BMF.

See how this happens? We returned, briefly, to the issue of "Usagi: falsifying NAVs, manipulating share prices and  misleading investors."

Once again, it was dealt with, and suddenly the claim morphs into something else.

I am guilty of 20 or 30 different things according to you guys. Where's the evidence? Make a new scam thread if you want to talk about share price manipulation. This is impossible to respond to. Accusation after accusation, morphs from day to day, week to week. Get your story straight and post it clearly so it can be dealt with on it's own. Don't pile claims on every thread. This is for "Usagi: falsifying NAVs, manipulating share prices and  misleading investors." thank you.

The mods have said the same thing countless times. In trhe EskimoBob/YARR thread, badbear ruled that there must be financial loss, and that if I only lost my time and not money as a result of an attempted scam the accused would not get a tag.

CPA's share price declined in proportion to our mining holdings. This is pretty clear; BMF went from 1 to .5 and CPA went from 0.1 to 0.04 or so. We lost nothing on pirate insurance: YARR basically covered our pirate insurance. I personally lost money on this because I backed YARR with my personal money. But CPA didn't lose money on YARR. The real loss in CPA came because of Patrick Harnett, Imsaguy, and Hashking. That's why we declined more than our mining holdings. Not because I was trying to crash the share price (which I was certainly not doing).

Huh? What?


?


You're not welcome. Why would I provide you his name? I paid a consultation fee and didn't retain him. It has nothing to do with anything I'm being accused of. He certainly won't talk with you on the phone about my case unless I authorize him to, and he will likely charge you money for the telephone consultation. This is a bit of a dead end and doesn't make sense.

You're being hostile to me. You've misrepresented what I told you in PM. You are intentionally or otherwise failing to understand that the BMF contract stipulated that I would provide added value via analysis. And that vampire's contention is without merit because we had a mandate to buy and hold as a long term investment fund. I have discussed the principles of fair value accounting with you in three places now; twice in PM and once in a reply in this thread. If you cannot admit that you have grossly misrepresented what I said, then I will post our conversation in PM. I can't believe you are unable to comprehend what I said about our contract and how we valued stocks.

We wrote it into the contract friend. We did what we said we were going to do. And no one lost any money just because we followed fair value accounting principles. Unfortunately it seems you're a little short on facts.. and what facts you have you are twisting... You make me sad, I had thought you would treat this fairly.

I haven't listed them yet. I will do so on the 2nd. YARR will be listed as well, for convenience. I had some questions on whether I could use SILVER and change the ticker to YARR, but to speed things up I might just create the securities and forget about getting money back on the SILVER ticker (as a GLBSE refugee).
