The document discusses overhauling budgeting by measuring return on intangible assets rather than return on investment. It proposes rating companies on a scale of 0-5 based on their policies, value systems, and adherence to policies and values, which would indicate their "intangible value capital". This aims to encourage investment in sustainable companies focused on quality over short-term profits. The document also discusses relating compensation and valuations to the mass added by companies' intangible capital. Overall it argues that focusing on intangible assets can improve market stability and confidence by prioritizing sustainability.
2. Overhaul Budgeting by 180°
Corporates and Governments have come to depend on Budgets as a
primary tool for setting growth targets.
Reeling under Corporate Toxic assets and government impaired assets,
people are looking for a way out.
People contribution to Provident Funds, Mutual Funds, Pension Funds
of hard earned money of over 40 years constitute the biggest chunk of
funds available for market investment.
Only a few corporates have sustainable energy on whose capability
Market rests.
Overhaul Budgeting by 180° is to bring to fore capable trustworthy
companies where People can invest confidently, at a time investments
in public equities are at historical lows. How? By measuring RoI of
companies: turning 180° from Return on-Investment to Return on-
Intangible.

3. Opposite Value - at 180°
Truth involves completely opposite values; then only, it can be Truth.
In the subject-object distinction of corporate management Balance
Sheet represents the man-made objects and their characteristics. The
subject responsible for creating them comes as a footnote of a
signature.
Both subject - object have energy - pulsating energy of the subject and
non-pulsating energy of the inanimate objects, one is creative and
the other inert.
Market dances according to the tunes set by inanimate objects that slip
into oblivion by the closing bell. Market stability is attained by
measuring the opposite values i.e. pulsating energy of corporate
management.
Truth is Balance Sheet hides it.

4. Resource energy
Notwithstanding the accounting convention of asset or liability,
inanimate objects that occupy a Balance Sheet, inert, sitting smugly
unaware of the rest, are bound up with huge energy waiting to be
liberated.
By itself an object cannot liberate the energy unless a collision takes
place triggered by the pulsating-energy. That pulsating-energy is
common from a potter to a nuclear scientist, the cause that would
trigger the release of the respective non-pulsating energy.
Corporate Management has only one source of energy which is
pulsating-energy. That energy is Intangible.
Intangible job description is a. Create Infrastructure, i. Policies, ii. Value
System and iii. Inanimate objects and b. liberate energy from
inanimate objects in infinite succession of finite purposes.
Intangible is the only resource area for creative process as well as
action process of corporate management.

5. Value ~ Valueless
Infinite succession of finite Inanimate objects give an impression of
being in motion but indeed they change from one static frame to
another, by the impact of Intangible.
Huge energy is bound up in every object, bigger the mass bigger the
energy. A toxic or impaired asset has no mass and has no energy.
Balance Sheet is a convoluted process of exhibiting self-deception.
What is crucial is to bring the abstractions into reality, acknowledge
value where value is due, and deconstruct what is valueless.

6. Intangible - A hole-in-one
St. Augustine: "What art thou doing,
my child?"
"I mean to empty the sea into the
hole," answered the child, busily
going backwards and forwards with
his spoon.
By Subject - Object distinction of
Management, entire data of World
Economy is compacted in a small
hole of Intangible, arriving at a
single rating (0-5), where the rating
represents m mass in the equation
e = mc² where
e is the Intangible, the energy force.

9. 1. Budgeting - Balance Sheet
ii. RoI - Return on Intangible
1.Between 1998 when Grand Metropolitan and Rank Hovis McDougall,
decided to include the value of brand names in their consolidated
Balance Sheets, [Ref. 1], through Sep. 1998 when IAS 38 was
published and the financial crisis in 2008, in May 2011 frustration was
evident: “It is not clear that the so-called GAAP standard is even
particularly meaningful anymore: companies continue to search for
beneficial ways in which to disclose information about themselves with
or without formal sanction.” [Ref. 2].
2. RoI - Return on Investment is: Numerator - inanimate object &
denominator - same = 0 (zero)/ 0 (zero) = 0 (zero)
3. RoI - Return on Intangible: Numerator - Intangible present or absent (1
or 0) & Denominator - Intangible (1) = 1 or 0 (zero)
4. A Corporate or a Government is an inanimate object by itself. Material
events result in adding mass to the organisation.

10. 1. Budgeting - Balance Sheet
iii. Emotional Value Capital - Action Process
Budgets, by corporates as well as governments, that are prepared with lot
of care, focus on objects.
Not surprisingly in the competitive spirit of corporates emotions run high and
in majority of cases create toxic assets than adding mass. Governments
on the other hand convert good intentions to wasteful expenditure and
broken promises, for the lack of any emotion.
Return on Intangible turns the attention on the action process of
management of objects. Optimal rating does not guarantee the non-
existence of toxic assets or impaired assets. What is needed is the
Intellectual Value Capital, a firm footing on Quality, to ensure RoI is
reliable.
Without Quality Corporates will find stranded in Emotional Value Capital
bereft of value, as many many are.

i. Creative Process
1. Budgeting - Quantitative Elements - is an Action Process of
Management, measured by Emotional Value Capital.
2. Planning - Qualitative Elements - pertains to creative process of
Management, measured by Intellectual Value Capital.
•
The end product of a creative process is a tangible substance:
The beginning, subtle and non-existence.
3. Intellectual Value Capital.
– Intellectual Value Capital represents Quality of Corporate
Management and the cause of Emotional Value Capital,
establishing unique relationship with every single Object.
– Policies are rated by Intellectual Value Capital.
– Practices are rated by Emotional Value Capital.

corporate equity in the market on companies with a rating of 4 above of
Intangible Value Capital, in order to improve from the current negative

2. People Participation - Balance Sheet data provided to the public
encourages insider trading and hides toxic assets. Intangible Value
Capital brings in People Participation by recognising in each block the
importance of People as the numero uno of investment in Corporate
Equity, directly as well as through Pension Funds.
3. Public Reporting: Higher RoI companies will take the place in Wall
Street pushing the lesser mortals however big they are now. Intellectual
Value Capital Rating will dominate, assuring sustainability of business
growth and profits.

Capital at optimised rating of 5, companies with Intangible Value Capital
rated 4 & 5 shall inevitably, Occupy Wall Street.
