FAQ:
- Q: So it will take a minimum of 10 years to see any returns?
  A: That is correct.
- Q: Is this investment for growing the company (marketing, research etc) or for planting empress trees? In other words, if I invest, will I become owner in the company?
  A: Kishore - yes, if you invest you become an owner in the company. Your investment is used for planting trees, managing the plantations, and doing everything we need to do to bring the harvest to market in 10 years.
- Q: From what I could gather having a glance at the Form C, investors here will have no interest in all the trees already planted and growing. They will only receive revenue (if any) from trees planted after this fundraise closes, requiring a minimum 10 year waiting period. My que...
  A: Hi Barnaby. This is an awesome question. Each year we take in a new pool (or season of investors) who receive year specific units. This year we are issuing World Tree COP 2018 Units and we will plant trees soley on behalf of these investors. Only 2018 Unit holders receive dividends from this season of trees (previous investors are linked to their season of trees). We keep the harvest seasons separate, so that we are always planting exactly the right number of trees and there is never a diluti...
- Q: What is the valuation for this raise?
  A: Hi Craig. Our structure is a little unusual in that we plant trees depending on the number of Units issued and the profits come in 10 years. Of course, we don't know what those will be because we can't predict the market. In the current market the lumber sells for between $3 and $14 board foot. At $3 a board foot, and assuming losses of 25%, one acre can produce $67,500. Investor share of this would be 25% which $16,875. Full details of risks and returns are providing in our offering documents.
- Q: Is there a reason for the $900 minimum. I am very interested but that is a heavier stake than I am comfortable with at this stage. Would you consider lowering the minimum investment?
  A: Thank you for the question, Dean. A $900 investment allows us to plant half an acre of trees, which is the smallest allotment that we can do economically.
