As an investor, I ask to hold a shareholder's vote to dramatically reduce a dividend, and limit paying up to 10% of profits at most. This is required for growth and for NRE.
Else the company will not be able to grow.

We must establish a growth fund.

Growth expenses are already factored in. I did the following post on the speculation thread, using 50% of the profits for growth, you can see that works pretty well:

New update, this time I considered some hardware selling estimates, as well as the impact of Ken's 15M shares on the whole operation.

(any errors found, just shout! Grin

)

Considerations:

Mining
Klondikes mining at August (worst case)
Avalon chips overclocked to 380MHz, since they will be running on Springfield Underground data center
November/December (worst case) hashrate increase from the high-volume process (low-volume is not worth it for just a ~month difference), using BTC1.2 per chip+assembly cost, chips at 16GH/s, not overclocked
50% of mining dividends used to buy new Fast-Hash-One 16GH/s chips
Total network hashrate includes ActM's mining plus hardware sold to other parties (200% markup)
Sales
Sales volume is really hard to predict. I just assumed it to be 2x the profits of mining, which I still think is really on the low side, as ActM is gonna also sell chips in bulk. For example, Avalon in getting ready to ship its ~BTC164,000 in bulk chips. There is definitely money to be made in bulk chip sales!

Conclusions:

Investors are fully reimbursed of their paid BTC.0025/share around December/January
The MH/s/share and MH/s/BTC are indeed crazy profitable
As soon as the unit price of chips gets down (it will drop 1/3 to 1/4 even before going to easicopy), the hashrate can rise even much further
Having direct access to buy hardware at manufacturing cost is what really makes this possible
The effect of hardware sales is just mind boggling
