Abstract
The MLP Financing System extends the properties of shares in an publicly traded entity that does not generate UBITs to create a new asset class that permits the underlying assets to be specifically structured for financing. MLP Financing System requires a minimum of three markets entering into transactions involving a company, a publicly traded entity, and a third entity in the financial industry. Each market establishes an asset value, price, yield, and risk. Asset price differentials between markets identify arbitrage opportunities. The market asset value, price, yield, risk, and financial constraints of entities operating in those markets provide the initial transaction specifications between company-MLP, financier-MLP, and company-financier.

A method for providing financing to a company having a plurality of qualified producing assets comprising:
- creating a qualified master limited partnership by limiting a plurality of assets of a master limited partnership to only a plurality of qualified producing assets of a company that do not generate unrelated business taxable income;
- complying with all necessary requirements so that the qualified master limited partnership can exchange assets with a plurality of companies on a stock exchange;
- creating a first new asset class by placing the plurality of qualified producing assets into the qualified master limited partnership through a plurality of tax deferred asset exchanges of a plurality of qualified master limited partnership Units for a plurality of fractional interests in the plurality of qualified producing assets;
- calculating, by a processor, a mathematical solution enabling an exchange of one or more of the plurality of fractional interests in one or more qualified producing assets of the company for one or more qualified master limited partnership Units and a collateralization of one or more loans to the company by one or more loan providers using one or more qualified master limited partnership Units in accordance with a solution that satisfies a plurality of company inputs, a plurality of qualified master limited partnership inputs, and a plurality of loan provider inputs;
- and

- connecting the qualified master limited partnership by a network, to the one or more companies, to one or more loan providers, and to a computer-implemented computational system configured to receive a plurality of company inputs from the one or more companies, a plurality of qualified master limited partnership inputs from one or more qualified master limited partnerships, and a plurality of loan provider inputs from one or more loan providers;
- pooling the total assets acquired and held by the qualified master limited partnership into a plurality of fractional interests, each fractional interest represented by a Unit;
- and
- responsive to receiving, by a processor of a computer-implemented computational system, one or more company inputs from the one or more companies, one or more qualified master limited partnership inputs from the one or more qualified master limited partnerships, and one or more loan provider inputs from the one or more loan providers, calculating, by a processor, a mathematical solution enabling an exchange of one or more of the plurality of fractional interests in one or more qualified producing assets of the company for one or more qualified master limited partnership Units and a collateralization of one or more loans to the company by one or more loan providers using one or more qualified master limited partnership Units in accordance with a solution that satisfies the plurality of company inputs, the plurality of qualified master limited partnership inputs, and the plurality of loan provider inputs.
