The long and the short of it is, the corp has only really started being profitable since around the 22/05/09, prior to this point we were spending more than we made, and we had less people active than we currently do. So any dividend we could do would be a small one indeed.
The dividend I wanted to make was to only come from profits made from sales on the market, so I havent counted for ratting income or player donations. Suffice to say turning the corner and making profit of some description is a great thing, and can only bode well for the future.
The initial offering raised: 3,680,000,000.00. Of which 2,300,000,000.00 was used to purchase the Capital Drone Bay Blueprint & the Chimera Blueprint, and the rest being used for towers and general corp upkeep during the time alot of us went riding bikes ;)
Our income from 22/05 from market sales totalled: 502,381,985.32 ISK.
Our purchases during the same period (tower fuel, skill books, bpcs etc) totalled: 257,335,255.32
Our profit on these was therefore: 245,046,730.00
So I ask you, our shareholders and corpmembers, do you want me to do a dividend (%age as yet unknown, but small :S), or are you willing for this dividend to be rolled into the dividend for the next quarter, which will be in September, and all things considered will be after a period of increasingly positive market activity as our caps are about to start rolling off the line.
A forum poll is my choice for this as Mangala alone could easily skew an ingame vote in any direction I choose :)

i vote yes as it has been a tricky few months
and only in the past few days have i been on a bit more having changed my focus to Kasei and invention/research

sure, but you might want to leave this out of the original post then:
A minimum total dividend of 250million isk will be in place.

Forgot i'd put that in :) Amended now to remove that and state specifically where profits would come from. (As I said in the offering thread, this is my first so its a learning experience for me too).

hmm, came out more thorny than i intended mebbe...
the 'sure' accompanied my 'yes' in the poll :)
-
I would have reinvested the dividend anyway as the corp needs cash more than me.
So a yes from me.
-
I'm happy if you hold the dividend for now til we're clearly in profit for a couple of quarters or more.

Locking topic, dividend is postponed.
I am hoping to be able to offer an increased dividend in the next quarter.
