Abstract: An investment process transacted by means of an Investment Exchange that is powered by a proprietary reallocation algorithm that reallocates the cash flows on an issuer's private placement Investment Unit offering and works by internally re-generating, redistributing and rebalancing the various securities comprising the Investment Unit with a means of monetizing the income stream wherein the cash flows of the securities comprising the Investment Unit are reallocated, repackaged, matched and hedged in a cash-settled capital raising process to provide superior returns to primary and secondary investors and a relatively low amount of stock dilution and no stock price discount to existing shareholders of an issuer of equity securities.

Abstract: A business entity or investment entity increases the sale value of its own equity by forming a new hybrid investment unit that includes the combination of a debt instrument and the equity share. The debt instrument pays interest that is tax deductible to the business entity or investment entity and is not subject to the double taxation of dividends. The price of an ordinary equity share traded on an exchange is artificially reduced by the amount the cash dividend paid. The hybrid investment unit prevents the exchange from artificially reducing the equity in the unit because the debt in the unit pays interest and principal instead of dividends.

Abstract: A method of enhancing the equity of a business entity by issuing a debt instrument to the equity share of the business entity. The debt instrument is secured by the written unconditional promise to pay of the business entity and assets of the business entity. The business pays the principal and the interest, from the debt instrument, to the shareholder of record of the equity share of the business entity.

Abstract: Method of separation that uses at least one organic chemical reaction to alter the molecular structure of a substance or substances (102) so that a mechanical method of separation can be used to cause the separation of one or more substances from one or a group of substances (104). The organic chemical reaction alters the molecular structure by adding at least one atom to the molecular structure or by subtracting at least one atom from the molecular structure. The mechanical method of separation uses the differing physical characteristics of substances to physically change the place or position of substances to remove or isolate the substances from a combination or a mixture absent any chemical reaction. The organic chemical reaction and the mechanical method of separation are used in combination to cause the separation of substances that otherwise could not be separated by the mechanical method of separation alone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing the stock of a business entity by joining the shares of stock to non-investment bonds at no cost, no loss financially to any current and/or future shareowner with any principal or issue price is zero, unpaid or paid by any means other than any current and/or future shareowner paying any money or property for the bonds. The enhancement that is derived from this joining is called a Share Bond (28) which has increased investment security, guaranteed monetary benefits for the shareowners that are administered by the data processing system provided by the invention. This includes the joining, updating of information, calculating payments and distribution of the Share Bond benefits.
