With the world financial markets in flux and events of major disaster and environmental events unfolding daily, many
investment managers, foundations and institutional investors are forced to re-examine current investment portfolios
and seek current trends into environmental and humanitarian long term investments. Today’s Investors must consider
the 21st Century world requirements and capture the opportunities to return to these once enjoyed profits margins.
Historically and factually, two events have always remained constant in all nations of the world, regardless of their
philosophy or economic basis. These are war and disasters, both of which provide new economic and investment
opportunities. The projects contained in the business proposal of Archimedes will address these opportunities and
provide perhaps some insight as to how those investment concerns can serve humanity and the environment, as well as
provide excellent returns. Since Archimedes has been formed to meet some of these humanitarian and environmental
market needs, we feel confident in presenting our solutions “Where Scientific Theory Becomes Reality”,
What Project Archimedes Brings To The Table:
1. The Western League and Asian Community of nations have stated that many assistance programs may be curtailed but will
continue to meet the needs of these disaster affected and developing countries. So why is this important? The
development of relief supplies, costing 1/3 of current market cost, becomes a primary incentive in supply considerations by
governmental and organizational agencies without reducing the aid provided. At present, Archimedes “Front Line Project”
holds that stage alone. The top 15 populated nations of the world hold 70% of the total population of the world. Each has
an established and mostly stable form of government, and is thus ruled by political considerations. It would be political
suicide to ignore events such as Louisiana’s Hurricane or China’s Earthquake as merely a century event, since over 400 less
severe climatic events occur daily and substantial funds are set aside to deal with these events. It is these politicians and
government leaders who actively champion a cost effective means to provide any form of relief assistance when required
which streamlines and reduces such cost. Archimedes “Front Line” will require less storage space than conventional
supplies yet provide more aid available which nets cost effective resource relief management for agencies and
organizations charged with relief operations.
2. The ecology and environmental initiatives which are gaining momentum to protect our natural resources and find new
methods and means to protect resources and environment, lends itself to Archimedes “Project Ocean Harvester” which
centers on the preservation, harvesting, conservation, and economic viability of food and energy sources from the ocean in
a conscientious friendly manner. The project however does not stop there, because development of Hydrogen drive has
lent itself for practical application to ocean vessels, and we shall join other scientist to develop this resource.
What The Investors Need To Bring To The Table:
A dedicated investment commitment which understands the need for proper research and development periods, and
provides for grace extensions to profit to meet these R&D requirements, and will allow the company to enter market
areas with cutting edge products to assure high yield profit returns. We seek capital, but need commitment to project
concepts and goals.

CURRENT MARKET COMPETITION SUMMARY INDUSTRY
Project Frontline market competition is provided by generally camping, survival, hunting and unrelated
businesses which have specific products which can be used in humanitarian efforts. Samples of such
companies are the (MRE) meal ready eat units originally provided to replace the C ration for the military, and
later commercially available to public purchase. Another example would be the application of tents for shelter
in emergency situations, which are largely provided by camping and survival companies.
There exist no comprehensive list to “Off the shelf” purchases by governmental and organizational relief
agencies, but the revenue sales figure provided by the GSA accounting office estimate some 30.5 Billion
dollars annually worldwide. (Note: Off the Shelf items are those which are not in government or organizational
inventory, and are purchased from any available source)
To illustrate the market demand, currently being serviced by unrelated service companies the following chart is
provided to show disaster related event cost, Their exist no official figures of record current to 2010 however
145 major events have occurred since 2005 at cost 7 to 10 times the illustrated figures.

PROJECT OCEAN HARVESTER BRIEFING
HARVESTER BASIC DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT MISSION STATEMENT:
There are rarely business projects in today’s world for investmentopportunities which champion the environmental concerns and ecologicalbalance with profitable returns. With logical and respectful management,the resources on our planet beckon the harvest of the wealth from ouroceans and Project Ocean Harvester not only represents a soundinvestment for the future, but also provides the first major innovationalchanges within it’s industry in five decades – a monumental and excitingchapter in sea harvesting.
For the first time since “Kelp” was first harvested 5000 years ago, and it’scontinued applications have been discovered, is it possible to safely,efficiently and profitably harvest this resilient resource without damagingthe ecological environment. The technology is available to responsiblymanage this natural resource which has thousands of applications intoday’s world.
Ocean Harvester has developed the scientific understanding andtheoretical ability to harvest and process the ocean “Giant Kelp” retainingthe vital properties in the processing and reduce the industrial drawbacksand cost associated with present day harvesting techniques .
The company goals and expectations are to complete the engineering,application processing and to construct (10) ten operational harvesters forapplication and lease for “Giant Kelp Fields” and increase harvest volume500 %.
With engineering application of the harvester the company profits areexpected to reach a total of 100 million dollars annual profit within (5) fiveyears of development completion.

The ocean harvester is a seaworthy powered bargeplatform specifically designed for the cutting andprocessing of Giant Kelp in open oceans of the world. Itwill incorporate the entire processing of Kelp from thecutting to washing, drying and bundling for delivery toprocess manufacturers.
Key to the project success will be the processingplatform engineering and research and development ofthe drying process – since it normally takes several daysand is temperature sensitive for extraction of desiredoils and chemicals commercially. It is our belief we havesolved this critical problem, however additionalengineering and research must be made to perfect theprocess which will reduce the days to a matter of hourswithout degradation of harvest value.
The second element critical to the profitable harvestingprocess is the initial cutting of kelp fields which do notuproot the bud anchors and thereby keep the planthealthy. If this can be also perfected the kelp fields canbe cropped every 24-48 hours because of thephenomenal growth rate of healthy Giant Kelp.

Kelp harvesting is a labor intense process which requires six steps from initial cutting to drying before it is ready for shipment to manufacturers for product processing.
Although the process for ready delivery ranges 10 – 20 days in the industry, it affects the quality of the extractable aligns and suitability for stock feed. The bi-product for fertilizers is at the bottom of the crop processing suitability, and often the least profitable.
From the moment Kelp is cut its value diminishes with TIME
The “Ocean Harvester” is to be designed specifically to complete the entire kelp processing aboard the vessel and offload to container vessels product for direct manufacturer delivery.
The harvester will be a virtual factory at sea much in the same way as the commercial tuna and fishery industry has moved to processing fish product – which minimizes product loss and improves quality.
Our goal is highest quality and volume of product.

DESIGNS FOR DEVELOPMENT
Why Design Around A Catamaran:
The design allows for modular envisioned interchange, shallow and deep draft water ability,
vessel stability in most seas, natural “combine” style installation area for envisioned module
applications without costly modifications and redesign.
Engineering and Prototype:
The company has two options to consider at a later stage during development. First is the
possibility to construct one each candidate design, holding the remaining two vessels to be
constructed for award till after full sea trials and evaluation of best operational vessel.
The second consideration is to award all 5 vessels construction based on best design concept
and maintain continuity of fleet in addition to saving cost of maintenance and repair facilities.
Design Time Frame:
Will conform to the basic investment schedule
Construction Schedule:
Vessel construction will produce two ships in an 18 month period with the remaining three
vessels 18 months later. In order to have all five vessels operational by year five ends will
require construction start at the 24 month investment period. This will accelerate the
construction schedule from the projected 36 month start construction projection.

Pag
e29
REVENUE PROJECTIONS
The sales illustration for “ocean harvester” are based on individual vessel completion, with (5) Five such vessels programmed for completion, but which provide for delay or construction in the event advance contract clients do not justify build schedule.
TARGET MARKET REVENUES
Ocean Harvester market competition, in all but the harvester kelp module,
faces normal industry competition based on specific vessel needs. A key reason for the company to provide a
multi-purpose vessel provides more lease and sales opportunities than traditional vessels with single purpose.

and unachievable development costing millions without return, the company has developed a “Logical and Realistic”
development schedule in line with investment funding, revenue generations, and specific task schedules to provide
investors with excellent returns in the 3-5 year timeframe, while completing development and sales schedules
independent on capital infusion from investors alone.
The project as a whole and divisional specific has been designed to generate income from a market rich environment
which remains unaffected by current financial industry turmoil and fluxuations inherent to industries dependence on
consistent turnover and replacement of goods and services.

with them. The schedules are realistic, account for normal operational delays and provide tight budget
allocations for completion. The selected staff, engineers, scientist and marketing experts have narrow

deliveries. We must get it right the first time, and provide a superior product.

VARIOUS INVESTOR EXIT OPTIONS
PROGRAMMED COMPANY GROWTH:
The company structure at formation provides for growth irrespective of revenue centers during the first two
years of operation. This is possible for the reasons of “Key Management” personnel efforts in the area of
obtaining government and private grants for research and development open for award, and the public
relations efforts to be conducted amongst humanitarian and ecological interest groups which will be solicited
for advance product sales donations to various charities and worthy organizations they champion. As
addressed later in this document, these experts which fill our management team, have vast experience in the
governmental and organizational industries we are targeting for our markets and will be active from day one
of operation to subsidize revenue incomes during the R&D Phase of company growth.
Such funds obtained will effectively free investor committed funds equal to said advances and credited to the
investor as proportional initial investment return without jeopardizing company growth, and allow partial exit
options to the investor profit options. Essentially each dollar obtained in this manner is set aside against the
investor initial commitment, to allow exit options without substantially effecting investor holdings in the
company or restricting company growth.
At some point before the middle of year three operation, the company should be bidding on such contracts,
and obtaining pre-delivery commitments on product lines to be offered by year four. Additional opportunities
in franchise, distribution and manufacturing of products will avail our management team to initiate either a
IPO issue, private trust placement, or industry merger/buyout which will position the company value to
increase substantially.
To assure the company growth follows this outline, company personnel, expert in grants, government
contracting franchise and public donations have been dedicated in the personnel staff requirement to assure
maximum effectiveness. The individuals selected to head such efforts resume is at the back of this document.
As research is completed the process of patent or copyright will additionally afford company revenue areas,
and increase the overall valuation of the company to outside financial and traditional investors. Financial
recognition will be guided by the scope and completion of research goals, and the continuation of new
projects within the select industries, which have immediate or wider application than those covered in the
investment project. Naturally our investor group will be alerted to new product releases and research
breakthroughs in advance of public or published disclosure.

in funds. The remaining (55%) Fifty Five Percent ownership has been reserved for distribution by the principal
/author and CEO of the company. Distribution is anticipated as follows, but all legal, administrative and voting
rights are reserved to principal/author.

4. (10%) Held in ownership reserve by the Project Author.
INVESTOR FRANCHISE HOLDINGS:
In the programmed growth of the company, both projects shall be subject to geographic and regional
franchise award to the investors. Essentially for each 5% of company investment held, a random draw order
from 1- 20 will be issued, for investor selection of franchise rights held exclusive. The purpose of this draw is to
provide each investor holding at least 5% interest in the company, to expand their potential profit returns by
holding income ownership of selected regions as they are developed by the company. The investor may in
turn sell, hold, trade or buy regions of interest at their option.
The program is simple. The company receives 25% of all profit realized by the investor franchise region, and
the investor retains 75% of all profits realized from the franchise region. All company franchise and
distribution rules shall apply. This program is anticipated to begin on year two of company operations.
Currently there are 60 target regions worldwide we will initiate trade in, and holding a 45% interest the
investors will hold 24 under this program for additional profit venues.
