EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background Developer/Builder (D/B) seeks
250,000,000 (USD) to acquire nearly 4,000 acres
of private land surrounding pristine Lake
Pleasant, AZ in order to build 1,000 luxury homes
and mixed-use facilities to include common areas,
fire safety, police, EMT, health club, and
essential retail services. This project will
handsomely blend three core lifestyle elements
upscale golf, access to a pristine lake, and the
natural splendor of the AZ desert. Value
Proposition (Living Experience Created) The
Alpha-Omega living experience will be unlike any
other and will give residents the feel of a
5-star resort experience at home. The
development will have a faith-based tourist
attraction that will become a world-class
destination. Nearby will be grocery, financial
services, many restaurants, a 24/7 convenience
store, automotive repair, dry cleaning,
veterinarian, 24/7 home repair handymen,
automotive repair with emergency road service,
landscaping, pool maintenance, laundry
assistance, and even a turn-down service for
special touches when guests are visiting. Day
trips to Cibola Vista Resort Spa will also be
available. Objectives/Mission D/B desires to
create a luxury community for affluent persons
who prefer a superior living experience complete
with security, tranquillity, and unmatched
amenities. HOA dues will be 5,000 per home with
proceeds going to high-end amenities and
services, asset maintenance, and a worship center
that includes an associated worldwide outreach HQ
that will positively impact the lives of AZ
residents and the global population. Funding
Needed D/B wishes to ascertain 250M to buy the
land and another 1,000,000,000 to launch the
project effectively in a manner that incorporates
the necessary retail, medical, and safety
services. The B/D desires tax-deductible gifts,
donations and contributions as the primary source
of funding. Depending on needs, private
investments and retail loans to fully fund the
2.5B cost will be considered. The basic
financial plan can be found on page 30 of this
document. Naturally, Pro Forma and balance sheet
are subject to funding TC (terms and
conditions). Action Plan D/B is negotiating
with several landowners while searching for
capital to buy targeted land and hire
architectural design firm(s) as well as
engineering firm(s) to gain plat approval(s) and
install infrastructure. Deal Capacity As
noted, D/B estimates the need for 2.5 Billion in
financing for this project. D/B seeks 100 LTC
in private funding or tax-deductible
contributions and gifts. Any unmet funding needs
may be subsequently generated from commercial
sources. D/B is entertaining a wide variety of
funding options and alternatives. D/B will
consider joint ventures, partnerships,
fundraising from faith-based groups, private
donations and contributions, as well as retail
financing (AD loan). Returns on investments
vary for obvious reasons. However, any interested
Party has the option of participating as a donor
or investor depending on interest level and
purpose for involvement. Donors may feel
compelled to see the project come to fruition as
it brings God to people and people to God
while Investors may be compelled to get involved
with this project as a worthy cause while earning
a reasonable return on investment (ROI) in order
to further the mission and increase holdings.
The investment time horizon will eclipse 5 years.

• OVERVIEW
• Establishing a residential resort and business
  clientele base will take some time as research
  typically reveals word-of-mouth, referrals,
  professional networking and due diligence can be
  time consuming. Actual living experience as
  well as value are often the primary ways in which
  home and location are selected by new buyers.
  People new to the area, or who have few
  established connections may look to the Internet,
  Welcome Wagon, outdoor ads, branding messages or
  sponsorship promotions along with other
  advertising to establish a sense of location,
  availability, pricing, lifestyle, and access
  periods. AOE will integrate the most effective
  branding tactics.
• Competitive Advantage. Alpha-Omega Estates (AOE)
  is poised to be the premiere living environment
  in ALL of Arizona. Its
• a gated luxury home community which is
  exquisitely nestled by the nicest and cleanest
  lake in Arizona. AOE will be located just
  northwest of the Phoenix metro. Home sites will
  be nestled securely amongst untouched public land
  and the exceptionally nice Quintero Golf
  Community. AOE will be 10 minutes from 1-17 via
  Carefree Hwy (74) and will be right by the north
  access to Lake Pleasant, which offers world-class
  fishing, boating, and leisurely water cruises.
  AOE is designed to preserve the traditions of the
  American West while offering the finest amenities
  and comfort to its owners. The new marina,
  Scorpion Bay Marina Yachts Club is in
  operation already. AOE intends to offer a
  dynamic retail center much like the Westgate City
  Center in Glendale that includes a plethora of
  desirable retail outlets, services, and
  destination stores. The developer of Alpha-Omega
  Estates has plans for a 5-star deluxe resort that
  may include upscale dining, boutiques, day spa,
  scuba lessons, a dolphin aquarium, water park,
  gaming-style entertainment, and many other
  luxurious amenities that are not concentrated in
  such an appealing manner anywhere in Arizona.
• Industry Keys to Success
• Arizona is ranked 1st or 2nd as a
  retirement destination for Baby Boomers and
  others with tremendous
• net worth and affluence. AOE intends to
  cultivate this market assertively for prospective
  homebuyers and donors.
• AOE will have a Christian faith-based
  tourist attraction with a large statue of Christ
  that can be toured from inside
• like the Statue of
  Liberty about 333 tall. There will be retail
  services in and around the statue.
• The AOE development will include a new
  worldwide missions and global outreach entity to
  impact others lives.
• The AOE missions organization will have an
  annual budget of 100 million and will reach
  people all over the world.

VALUE PROPOSITION AND UNIQUENESS OF
PROJECT Ideally located by the nicest and
best-kept lake in the entire State of AZ,
Alpha-Omega Estates is poised to be the premiere
living environment in ALL of Arizona. Surrounded
by pristine, rugged, and scenic desert topography
by way of State Land Trust and BLM areas, AOE
will be nestled securely amongst untouched public
land and the exceptionally nice Quintero Golf
community. In late 2006, half-acre lots in
Quintero sold for 500,000 to 665,000 with
larger lots selling for more than 1.6 million.
Land values and equity in luxury homes are
expected to eclipse these figures in due time as
high-end home sales in the Phoenix metro will
regain strength based on demand. Incoming
population growth and the number of current
Arizona residents who plan to retire within AZ
will drive up values. The luxury home market has
a bright forecast for 2020-2035. Upscale homes
in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley have
historically sold for 500 to 600/foot with
modest lot sizes. Scottsdale and PV reaps are
sold out of land. AOE will be in very close
proximity (10-minutes) to the new Cibola Vista
Resort Spa and the new Peoria Town Center under
construction in the rapidly-growing Lake
Pleasant Corridor. The amenities, recreational
options, and living benefits at Alpha-Omega
Estates will be unmatched. Uniquely, the
property owners in AOE will have the chance to
give back to charities and causes of their
choosing. AOE will help homeowners live their
lives with purpose. Alpha-Omega Estates Contact

COMPANY SUMMARY
The Companys Nuts, Bolts, and Purpose Forrest
L. Lenny Geist founded Alpha Omega Estates
(AOE) as a concept in 2004 by conceiving an
original idea that integrates and embodies the
Great Commission (Matthew 2819) Christians
accept with the desire many people have to live
in a secure and well-appointed environment that
fosters and promotes openness, friendships, and
common interests to include worship. Lenny
believes AOE is a wonderful vehicle for
Christians to enrich others lives who are much
less fortunate while meeting the donors and
residents needs for charity, outreach
involvement, as well as civic responsibility.
The purpose of AOE is to create, launch, and
maintain a missions organization that will
positively impact people locally, regionally,
within the United States, as well as those who
live abroad. (Matthew 2540) The primary
conduit for developing the AOE missions
organization and maintaining it financially for
the long term is the Alpha Omega Estates project.
Lenny firmly believes to whom much is given
much is expected. (Proverbs 1124-25) Lenny
desires for AOE to be the chosen place of
residence for Christians and other persons of
strong moral and ethical character who wish to
give back some of the abundance and blessings
theyve received. Lenny also desires for people
of all walks to join him in using their gifts,
talents, and abilities to impact the world
through giving of time, effort, or resources in
Gods name (Matthew 624) while realizing a
prosperous and blessed personal living
experience. Mr. Geist desires to establish and
uphold a first-rate residential community and
living experience that enhances its property
owners, visitors, business owners, service
providers, and guests with the ability to grow
their own spiritual and personal relationships
through worship, continuing education and
charitable works. Lenny invites givers,
investors, and prospective inhabitants to contact
him at any time with questions, comments, or
suggestions as to how to make AOE become a
reality. On a more personal note, Lenny consults
with area businesses on development-related
issues, including finance, and is a Financial
Advisor with Merrill Lynch currently. Lenny, as
noted, also has expertise with real estate,
construction, project development, financing,
risk management (insurance), advertising,
marketing, creating brand awareness, public
relations, media campaigns, telecommunications,
lay leadership, teaching Bible study groups,
missions work, and being a team leader. Lenny
also enjoys sharing his vision, establishing new
relationships, helping people enrich their own
lives through Gods word, doing what others think
cant be done, and simply being a devoted
follower, father, friend, confidant and business
partner. Mr. Geist believes AOE will soon come
to fruition and will offer everything from A to
Z to Christians,prospective Christians and
others who cherish and seek a sincere calling to
help others while enjoying the fruits of their
labor. (2 Corinthians 88).

The marinas debut on the western shore follows
months of construction and two years of legal
battles with the owners of the nearly 15-year
old Pleasant Harbor Marina on the south-eastern
shore. Now, the operators of the two marinas are
vying for customers. Scorpion Bay, which will
feature hundreds of boat slips and cost 25
million when it is fully built in the next two to
three years, is welcoming the public with open
arms. Pleasant Harbor is going private, saying it
wants to provide a less hectic recreation
experience. One way or another, the opening of
Scorpion Bay is a good thing, said Peoria
resident Bill Johnson, commander of Phoenix Sail
and Power Squadron, an association of sail-and
-power-boat enthusiasts. We dont have enough
facilities around here, and I dont
think competition is a bad thing, he said.
Boaters are already seeing competitive pricing
between the two marinas, representatives for
each of the operations said. Lake Pleasant

an Opportunity Oasis. On the leading edge of the
Phoenix metropolitan area, Peoria is one of
Arizonas fastest growing communities. This
one-time farming community, founded in 1886 and
located just 25 minutes from Sky Harbor
International Airport, is
21
22
a dynamic community of 176 square miles and more
than 154,000 people today. Home to over 35 miles
of trails, award-winning schools, well-planned
residential neighbor-hoods, Major League
Baseball, and the areas second largest lake,
this progressive yet grounded and well-balanced
community is positioned to be a decisive
component of Arizonas economic future. Where
infrastructure and attitude actively connect
people to the environment and to each other. This
is Peoria, Arizona. Fishing At Lake Pleasant
Several creeks and washes feed into Lake
Pleasant and where these creeks and washes empty
into the lake are considered to be hot fishing
spots. They include Humbug Creek, Castle Creek
and Cole's Wash. Fishing can be good from the
shore but, you will need a boat to get to the
hot fishing locations. Jackass and Honeymoon
coves on the east side of the lake are two
excellent fishing sites. A wide variety of
sport fishing is available at Lake Pleasant. The
fish that are being caught are largemouth bass,
white crappie, white bass, channel catfish, salt
water striped bass, bluegill, and tilapia. The
salt water species of striped bass were
introduced to the lake as the water containing
striper fry and eggs is pumped into the lake from
the Colorado River through the Central Arizona
Project canal. When fishing the lake, anglers
take advantage of the fact that the lake is
considered to have three fishing zones. One is
near the dam and marina,
where the opening into the CAP canal is located.
Here the water is extremely clear and
highly-oxygenated. Second is near the
middle of the lake, close to the original,
submerged, Waddell Dam.
Here the water is clear and deep when the lake is
full. Here there are small islands, reefs, and
coves. The third area is
located at the north end of the lake where there
are upstream channels and drainages.
Here the water covers a forest of
submerged vegetation. It also is shallow, turbid,
and nutrient-rich.
Another factor which contributes to the good
fishing at Lake Pleasant is the fact that the
rise and fall of the
lakes waterline enhances the aquatic environment
for the fish. During the fall, when
CAP water is delivered into Lake
Pleasant the raising water level, covers the
seasonal vegetation
enriching the lakes nutrient levels. During the
spring, the water levels are held steady to aid
the bass spawning. Then in
the late spring, the water levels fall as the
downstream demand for water
increases. This lower level allows exposed
shoreline grasses, plants and bushes to re-seed
and produce new forage
and cover. This cycle is sometimes repeated,
which causes the fish to move swiftly back
and forth in their search for
good food. However, this means that fishermen
must always be on their
toes trying to keep moving with the fish to the
hot fishing spots.

Camping At Lake Pleasant You dont need a boat
on the water to enjoy the lake's beauty. Camping,
and hiking opportunities are in abundance.
Campers and picnickers can find both day and
overnight campgrounds able to accommodate large
and small groups as well as tents and RV parking.
At the Roadrunner Campground and Picnic Area
there are 72 RV sites with water and electrical
hook-ups. Covered picnic tables, barbeque grills,
restroom and shower facilities offer guests all
the modern conveniences to make their time even
more enjoyable. The Desert Tortoise Campground
and Cottonwood Day Use Areas are open daily from
6 a.m. to 6 p.m. year round. Arrangements can be
made for overnight stays at both of these sites
by contacting the parks Special Events
Coordinator. Lake Pleasant is open year round A
small portion of the lake is off limits from
December to about mid June so nesting eagles are
not disturbed. The lake can often exceed its
capacity during the busy summer months and
holiday weekends resulting in some boaters and
campers being turned away. Be sure to arrive
early during those periods. Modest entry fees per
vehicle and watercraft apply while camping and
Ramada rental fees vary depending upon the site.

History Of Lake Pleasant Pleasant Dam was
completed in 1927 as the Valley's only local
water facility to be constructed by private
interests. This private interest is known as the
Maricopa Water District (MWD). Upon its
completion, this dam became the largest multiple
arch dam in the world at 76 feet high and 2,160
feet long. It was later renamed, the Waddell Dam.
Lake Pleasant was formed by the waters behind
Waddell Dam which came from the Agua Fria River
which runs south through a broad Basin from its
beginning east of Prescott, Arizona to its
confluence with the Gila River, west of Phoenix.
Lake Pleasants waters were supplied primarily by
the Agua Fria River and by Coles Creek, Castle
Creek, Humbug Creek, and other drainages. An
early settler, King Woolsey gave the river its
name. The lake itself was named after Carl
Pleasant, the engineer who designed the dam. As
the need for more water in Central Arizona
increased the construction of the Central
Arizona Project Aqueduct, was started in 1973, to
divert water from the Colorado River to Lake
Pleasant. Converting Lake Pleasant from an
agricultural project, into a storage reservoir
for the Central Arizona Project. A new, larger,
Waddell Dam was started and then finished in
November of 1992. The old Waddell Dam was then
partially dismantled and breached before it was
covered with waters from the enlarged Lake
Pleasant. A 224-foot wide breach opening in the
dam was cut into the old dam, making two
sections. The breaching of the dam took place on
December 4 and December 16, 1992, then the
sections were toppled into Lake Pleasant. The
breaching created a channel between the two dams
which allows the water levels to remain the same
in front and in back of the old dam, providing a
safe passage for boats. The original dam now lies
under about 100 feet of water.
The New Waddell Dam increased the size of Lake
Pleasant, making it the second - largest body of
water in central Arizona. Roosevelt Lake is
larger. It now impounds the water, not only from
the Agua Fria River system, but also water moved
from Lake Havasu by the Central Arizona Project
(CAP) canal. The water from this canal now
provides most of the water that fills the lake.
The Old Beardsley Diversion Dam, which was
built in 1895, is located downstream from Waddell
Dam. It is now called the Camp Dyer Diversion
Dam. In August of 1992, the New Camp Dyer
Diversion Dam was completed. It is about four
feet higher than the Old Beardsley Diversion Dam.
It diverts lake water into canals which transport
the water to the Greater PHX metro area.
25
26
The New Camp Dyer Division Dam creates the Hank
Raymond Lake, which serves as the MWDs
regulatory water storage area. It can store a
maximum of 400 acre feet of water. The "Waddell
Pump/Generating Plant" is located here and it
pumps water into Lake Pleasant during the winter
and the water flows out of Lake Pleasant during
the summer. As the water flows out it, generates
electricity for the "Valley Of The Sun." The
water is then diverted from the New Camp Dyer Dam
into the Beardsley Canal which is the MWDs main
water transportation system. This concrete -
lined canal extends for almost 33 miles. From
the Beardsley Canal, there are about 100 miles of
laterals, sub-laterals and pipelines which are
located throughout the service area. Today, Lake
Pleasant is ripe for an upscale, classy,
environmentally-responsible residential
development and living experience. The
developers of Alpha-Omega Estates intend to do
just that construct and adorn the precious
little privately owned land near the lake with a
state-of-the-art residential community
unparalleled in Arizona and perhaps even the
entire Southwest. In addition to establishing a
one-of-a-kind living experience for its
residents, the AOE project leaders want to foster
a spirit of goodwill and good tidings to the Lake
Pleasant area, the Valley of the Sun, the State
of Arizona, and make AOE the premier living
destination. The Alpha-Omega Estates project is
a rare and unique blend of luxury residential
living, outdoor recreation enthusiasm, quality of
life involvement with social groups and community
networks, and the opportunity to give charitably
to the needy and less fortunate. The men and
women who are champions of the AOE cause welcome
people to make the Lake Pleasant area the most
pleasant lakeside experience anyone can imagine
through a sense of community, belonging,
spiritual growth, and civic pride.
Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the
morning sun. - Ecclesiastes 117

COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT
Market Research Marketing strategies will build
on this model taking advantage of precipitating
events and the City of Peorias planning
authority. It is anticipated a 5-star deluxe
resort and casino at Scorpion Bay will attract
customers from Las Vegas for a get-away with the
family for a vacation or holiday while having a
chance to enjoy gaming at the same time. Lake
Pleasant is sure to become a holiday destination,
faith-based education venue, and a popular
retirement spot for people all over the
world.. Summary of Opportunities and Threats in
the Environment Overall, the environment appears
very positive for AOE. The forces driving market
demand, mainly economic and geographical, are
strong, with more people staying closer to home
for shorter getaway trips and their comfort level
of visiting Lake Pleasant, one of the Midwests
premiere travel destinations. On the negative
side, there is competition, and it will take a
while for AOE to get established in its market
niche. However, the time horizon for build-out
and completion is a very favorable one. The
Arizona real estate market is currently in a
major downturn and the recovery period is
expected to continue for some time. This creates
significant advantages for the AOE project.
First of all, the land prices for acquisition are
discernibly lower now than they were in 2004-2006
when the concept originated and groundwork was
begun (figuratively). Land prices were going for
up to 1.0 million per acre in the NW part of
Phoenix. Currently, raw land prices in the NW
Valley and/or near the Lake Pleasant area are
likely to be only one-quarter (25) to one-third
(33) of recent historical highs. This makes
2013 to 2015 excellent windows of opportunity to
acquire the targeted raw land for AOE. Secondly,
labor and materials are considerably more
affordable now than before. In the very recent
past, it may have cost upwards of 250 - 300 per
square foot to build luxury homes of the
magnitude, scope, and design idealized for AOE.
Today, the construction costs of these homes is
more like 150-175 per square footas low as
half of what it cost 3-5 years earlier. Thirdly,
technology has escalated appreciably. New zero
use and smart homes are more in the
mainstream. Private residences can be very well
secured and may have a central nervous system
that is a computer monitored living environment
that helps the homeowner maintain and enjoy a
safe haven for rest, relaxation, and family
entertainment. In addition, the zero use homes
have solar energy sources that are plentiful
enough to be self-sustaining and actually create
a profit center for each homeowner. For
example, additional electrical energy created
through solar panels is required to be purchased
by the area electrical service provider (like
APS) at market rates. Therefore, each home may
actually turn a profit from its solar energy
while offsetting 100 of the homes energy costs
and utility expenses to include natural gas and
water.

STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
Strategy, Tactics Growth Model The business is
predicated on purpose-driven people of affluence
and means who wish to couple a well-appointed
retirement lifestyle with their penchant for
generosity and community. Thus, for the first
few years, AOE will need to be aggressive in
sales and marketing as it attracts new homebuyers
and grows its retail services to accommodate the
first residential guests. Naturally, word of
mouth and notoriety will grow notably as will the
general population of Arizona. Positioning
Philosophy From Revelation 216 we get this
message from Christ, It is finished! I am the
Alpha and the Omega - the Beginning and the End.
I will freely give water from the life-giving
fountain to everyone who is thirsty. What
better association can we think of then to create
a positive living environment by a beautiful body
of water that honors Christ thru charity and
worship? The AOE project leaders believe all who
give will receive much more in return as the
Scriptures foretell. Target Market Target
Markets include Persons 50 who are likely to
possess abundance in excess of 1.0 million in
net worth as well as persons who have substantial
affluence and means but may yet lack true purpose
for their lives or spiritual security. Positioni
ng and Property Strategy AOE will be positioned
as a new, impeccably-landscaped, nature-filled,
and unique atmosphere where residential living is
pristine and unequalled in that it affords a
hard-to-find blend of both privacy community.
Alpha-Omega will do just that. Pricing
Strategy Given historical sale prices of
comparable homes in highly affluent areas of the
Valley, the AOE direction team feels sales prices
of 300 - 500 feet are reasonable and realistic
once homes are completed and available for sale
beginning around 2018. By then, the developers
believe the general real estate environment will
be substantially improved while the demand for
such a monumental and impossible-to-duplicate
living environment will continue to grow
demonstratively. Home sales in 2005-2006 in
upscale Phoenix areas reached over 600 per
square foot. AOE project leaders feel sale
prices for its properties to be one-half to
two-thirds of these historical highs in Phase
One. Estimates are well founded given the AOE
time horizon and real estate recovery anticipated
to coincide with the AOE growth model. Phase Two
and Phase Three sale prices may reach 500 per
foot.

29
PROMOTION STRATEGY
Promotion strategy will vary depending on the
target market segments. Given the importance of
word of mouth referrals among all market segments
when choosing a home in a beautiful and
comfortable location sure to increase in
value. Marketing Plan A direct marketing
package consisting of a tri-fold brochure, letter
of introduction, and reply card will be sent to a
list of potential buyers. This list can be
obtained from International Business Lists, and
is compiled from tax records by upper-income
geographical areas, Secretary of State
Incorporation registrations, business license
applications, and announcements from newspaper
clippings, etc. Cable TV ad placements and
Network TV sponsorships on targeted shows will be
prevalent. Publicity and Public Relations A
news release will be sent to area newspapers and
magazines announcing the launch of AOE resort.
Lenny Geist also may make himself available for
speaking engagements at other community or civic
organizations as a low-cost way of increasing
awareness and building goodwill in the community
to include outreach projects, missions work, and
church tie-ins. Advertising Advertising is
utilized primarily to attract new guests and
serves to build awareness and name recognition of
the resort in general, which is important for
word of mouth referrals, Oh yes, Ive seen that
residential resorts ads before. Periodic
advertising in target market area newspapers will
afford AOE name recognition benefits. From
quarter ads announcing its entertainment line-up
to business card-sized logo ads, AOE will
maximize media campaigns while keeping an eye on
cost-efficiency and fiscal responsibility.
However, the AOE principals know marketing is an
investment not a cost. The Internet and
electronic versions of print publications will
likely be utilized. Contemporary marketing and
promotional activities to include sponsorships,
tie-ins, co-promotions, Chamber involvement, NFP
committee work, the Welcome Wagon, and media
cross-selling tactics on cell phones, billboards,
and interactive platforms will be part of the
overall media plan. The branding campaigns for
AOE will also incl
