Past Disclosure on stock (II)

DCL # 5753: Possible implication of implementation of E.O. 266
Company Reviews - Activities (04 Dec-2006 PSE)

The impending implementation of Executive Order 266 otherwise known as Strong Republic School (SRS), a distance learning school has exponentially expanded the market potential of TBGI. TBGI estimate that this executive order covers approximately 30,000 public schools which require a full rollout budget of PhP 10.0 for internet connectivity and computer laboratories. TBGI is strategically positioned to grab a big chunk of the market created by EO 266. To begin with, TBGI has an existing franchise for telecommunications satellite which is valid up to year 2023. There have been queries from other entities whether TBGI is willing to allow them to participte in the use of TBGI franchise for their on-going businesses or expansion programs. TBGI's internet connectivity via satellite is specifically suited for schools in remote areas that cannot be linked by other means. TBGI has already 156 private schools linked up all over the country availing of this facility including the Roman Catholic Church, which we feel is a great privelege of TBGI contributing to education and social welfare in this country. TBGI considers education and helth care as its contribution to corporate social responsibility from among its business activities. These two business growth areas will propel TBGI to bigger roles in the Philippines economy as it expands its reach via a major portal that will provide a wide array of web-based services. TBGI financial condition has shown significant improvement over the past quarter because of collection of major receivables from its clients. TBGI management expects the company to further improve its financial condition and profitability because of existing operations, new projects in the pipeline, and possible tie-ups with other majors.

Stock Investment Club

Just started an investment club. Was able to raise funds for investment just last night. Is this perfect timing? We hope that the sudden steep drop in equity prices has given us an opportunity to ride the bull market.


Objectives:

To invest in the Philippine Stock Market starting today.

To at least double the money invested within five years (or to approximate its gains which comes to about 15% per annum). This alone is far above the rate of returns currently available for limited funds in the fixed income market.

The objective is to stay invested for the long term, but initially there will be semi-annual reviews for the direction of the club and members are committed to stay invested for at least 6 mos to one year.

Strategy:

Given the modest amount of capital, the funds will be invested in aggressive growth stocks to be able to maximize returns. It is likely to be invested fully in a single stock for most of the time (or until the funds are enough for diversification into more than just one issue)

A target of 10 to 30% profit gain is the target price for selling.

A cut loss limit is set at 10 to 15%.



Fund Mechanics:

Initial fund is Php 70,000. So at the initial Net Asset Value (NAV) of PhP 1.00 / unit of investment;
Investor A = Php 20,000 or 20,000 units of investment
Investor B = PhP 20,000 or 20,000 units of investment
Investor C = PhP 20,000 or 20,000 units of investment
Investor D = PhP 10,000 or 10,000 units of investment

Future subscriptions will be based on the fund's NAV at time of subscription.
New members will have to be pre qualified and minimum investment is PhP10,000. Subsequent investments will be at a minimum of PhP 5,000.

NAV = Fund Value / No. of shares

The fund will be having a lock out period of one year, and at which time, the fund may be dissolved, dividends may be given, or may be restructured. An existing investor may buy out another investor with the consent of all the other members.
