Suncor Energy (SU) CA$50.0 BUY (pending to update) · Mar 11 major transactions: switch Imperial Oil (IMO) CA$52.0 to Suncor Energy (SU) CA$41.3; add Canadian Pacific CA$61.20; sold TransCanada at CA$39.2 · General Electric may get into lawsuit on Japan’s nuclear crisis. So far, analysts think it is very unlikely for GE to have a high contingency loss. On the other hand, given the fact that lots of people rise concern about the security of nuclear power, Bilibala think GE will receive lots of additional orders · government will not and cannot replace all nuclear plant at once, clearer energy to use are wind & solar, which both will benefit GE · in order to improve security & safety, government need to spend more on existing nuclear plant, which will benefit GE as well · Investors rise concerns on the internal control of Berkshire Hathaway on how Warren Buffett handle David Sokol purchase of Lubrizol stocks in Jan 11 just before Berkshire Hathaway announce to acquire it in Mar 11 & took a capital gain of $3M. To me, even Mr Buffett think Sokol did nothing wrong, as a CEO of a well respected giant corporation, the way he managed this issue should be done better by taking action and disclose it earlier. · As some of you hold RIM (Research in Motion), let me spend some time to share my opinion. · 2010 revenue & profit up 33% & 47% to US$19.9B & US$3.4B compare to last year while net margin improved from 16.4% to 17.1% · According to its own outlook, 2011 revenue & profit will up 41% & 22% to US$28.0B & US$4.2B while net margin will fall from 17.1% to 14.8% (with a estimated 2011 market shares in smart phone of about 15%) · Some analysts said RIM will be the next Nortel Network, Bilibala don’t think that will be the case cuz: 1. RIM’s earning growth is strong, above 20% per year, while price over earnings ratio is just 9, in comparison to Nortel’s tiny earnings and over 100 P/E before it fall, they are totally different 2. RIM has no long term debt, while Nortel had tones!! · Yes, RIM’s growth is slowing down, its profit margin is dropping, but given its P/E ratio at 9, PEG ratio of 0.5. I still think RIM should have potential to climb back to CA$70. Even though I won’t recommend a BUY, but for those who are holding it, Bilibala’s suggestion is to hold till release of 1st quarter (around jun 2011), the price should climb back because I think its earnings will beat expectation. · With more information, Bilibala will revised Manulife Financial’s Japan earthquake impact. · Assume 30,000 death, 80% insurance penetration, 8% market shares, CA$0.5M coverage, 80% loss & found & submitted claims, offset with 10% reserve release, the additional losses set up for the event will be CA$0.7B, less 29% tax rate, after tax impact will be CA$0.49B, while equity market rebound, estimate drop in EPS is about CA$0.3. # Bilibala personally uses fair value @ 2016 to do all investment, however, I think for most small investors, net present value @ 2011 (fair value multiply by discount factor), would be more relevant. · STRONG BUY with NPV over MV above 30% · BUY btw 15% to 30% · HOLD btw (15%) to 15% · RE-RE-RECONSIDER below (15%)

P/E ratio as of Mar 31, 2011 equal to 11.3 (looks reasonable, but with such high growth rate, the P/E ratio are low) · 2010 deposit from customers up 13% while loan to customer up 18% & loan to deposit ratio up 2% to 62% (very healthy or overly healthy compare to lots of global peers · 2010 book value up 10% to RM$2.8, price to book ratio 2.25 (slightly higher, but reasonable given the high growth rate) · Change NPV to HK$9.1, with a conservative 15% growth rate in earnings and 10% increase in RMB and assume P/E of 10 & BV of 1.6 in 5 years time and discount rate of 25%. # Bilibala personally uses fair value @ 2016 to do all investment, however, I think for most small investors, net present value @ 2011 (fair value multiply by discount factor), would be more relevant. · STRONG BUY with NPV over MV above 30% · BUY btw 15% to 30% · HOLD btw (15%) to 15% · RE-RE-RECONSIDER below (15%)

Claims cost increase as # of death rise will offset by equity market recovered. The actual reserve # may be lesser. · Research in Motion release its 4q10 earnings, above expectation but lower its 1q11 sales, trigger the shares down 11% on Friday. Its blackberry continue to grow in # of sales, however, to lots of individual customers, Apple & Google are a much better choice. Its Playbook launch too late, again, no one think it will win the battle. On the other hand, the share price is just $55, with P/E ratio lower than 9. Is this a opportunity or not? To Bilibala who has already hold Google, I won’t consider it. # Bilibala personally uses fair value @ 2016 to do all investment, however, I think for most small investors, net present value @ 2011 (fair value multiply by discount factor), would be more relevant. · STRONG BUY with NPV over MV above 30% · BUY btw 15% to 30% · HOLD btw (15%) to 15% · RE-RE-RECONSIDER below (15%)

Asia/Europe - 03/25/11

Bilibala Finance’s 7 Top Holding by Region: (with net present value in 1 year) Asia / Europe (46.4% of asset mix) 1. China Mobile (0941/CHL) HK$101.2 STRONG BUY 2. China Life (2628/LFC) HK$43.3 => HK$41.5 STRONG BUY 3. China Construction Bank (0939) HK$9.0 BUY 4. Total SA (TOT) US$61.6 HOLD 5. Siu On Land (0272) HK$6.7 STRONG BUY (pending to update) 6. HSBC Holding (0005/HBC) US$67.3 BUY (pending to update) 7. IFSE A50 China Fund (2823) HK$22.4 STRONG BUY · Mar 11 major transactions: add Honda Motor (HMC) US$36.93; add MTR (0066) HK$29.1; add China Resource Power (0836) HK$13.0 · China Life 2010 earnings up 2.3% to RM$1.19 meet expectation. However, as I kept mentioned, earnings is irrelevant to the valuation of an insurance co. Let’s read those meaningful data · Analysts concerns about loss ratio, let’s look at it 1st, it up 1.5% to 88.5% (mainly because of addition reserve on higher premium) to me, it looks reasonable. Combine ratio up 0.6% to 108.8% (which means every dollar of premium China Life received, it loss about 8.8 cents if excluding investment). Premium earned up 15.6% to RM$318B while value of business up 22.5%, looks great with strong growth. Sales to VNB up by 3.2% to 16.2 times, VNB up slightly slower than premium growth · Future sales growth continue looks great, as interest rate continue to go up while equity market is recovering and should back to peak in 10 years, China Life is in nice growing pace · Embedded value up 4.9% to RM$10.6 & based on all estimation & assumption, I will calculate China Life’s value at 4.05 times of its embedded value & discounted by 25.3% (instead of 21.6% previously) to come up with Bilibala’s new NPV of HK$41.5. · Japan Economy: Japan 1q11 GDP for sure will be hurt by the earthquake & the fall of the national electricity capacities, but most of the analysts think it will pick up in 3q & 4q (Bilibala think it will pick up even earlier than that) · Japan government estimate the damage will be US$0.3T and death may end up close to 30,000. · Bilibala believes in Keynesian Economic Theory, the damage may help Japan to have more meaningful & useful construction development. Given the following fact: 1. Japan’s debt will top 213% of total GDP (after counting the damage, the highest among G7), however, its net debt is only 120% (similar or bit lesser than the PIIGS), 94% of all debts are holding within Japan (means the government do not have interest rising pressure from foreign investors nor force to cut expenditures). 2. Also, Japan’s citizens are rich, having US$14T saving, while there are only US$7T government debt. Meaning Japan still have room to borrow from its nation to spend in order to boost up economy 3. In normal time, Japan can’t change much, where’s now, I hope the government will be able to try something “new”, instead of holding the money supply tie to control inflation, it should let inflation grow a bit to stimulate consumption and economic activities · Corporation like Automotive Toyota, Honda, Nissan etc, lol, you may think they are in big trouble cuz few of their plants have been damaged badly. Production line stopped till end of march, may affect global auto sales. But is it really bad for Japanese auto makers? Think again!! 1. insurance will compensate all the damage in the plants 2. parts can be produced in all other unaffected plants around the world 3. while lots of cars are total loss, people have to buy brand new cars in the coming 2-3 years, and they will most likely buy their own nation’s cars · I will talk about the impact to China economy later. # Bilibala personally uses fair value @ 2016 to do all investment, however, I think for most small investors, net present value @ 2011 (fair value multiply by discount factor), would be more relevant. · STRONG BUY with NPV over MV above 30% · BUY btw 15% to 30% · HOLD btw (15%) to 15% · RE-RE-RECONSIDER below (15%)
