3. “ C G V I “ A “COMPARATIVE GROWTH & VALUE INDICATOR” FOR SELECTING SHARES “If you can’t calculate a “CGVI” for a share then you are Speculating” A Jodi Robertson Scientific Business Slide Presentation

4. A Method of Selecting Shares forPension Endowment & Family Trust • Method is for The New Investor Based On • FORBES Business Magazine June 1988 • Method Gives a single Comparison Value • Allows calculation of a price at 3 Levels

5. Is There A Single Value Indicator To Give Guidance • Scanning 1500 shares is a large Task • A Comparison Filter Value is required • Is “ CGVI ” that numeric Filter indicator • 14 Years Using the Method says“ YES !“

6. By Presentation End You Will Understand how to • Calculate a Comparison Value for Shares • Understand How and When to use CGVI • Compare two shares CGVI Values • Find Shares worth further Consideration • Resist buying shares where Price is too high • Avoid Shares that may not Grow in Value • Release Shares that may not Grow in Value

7. Now Have you ever. . . . . . • Consulted an Expert & USING their advice: • Bought shares that went down • Bought shares that went nowhere • Bought shares that went bust • Bought shares that tripled in price • Bought shares that went up five times • Wondered if YOU could know more & do better ?

8. Adding 3 Important Share Indicators gives a “CGVI” • The Earnings Yield = EPSc / $ Share Price • ( Above is Inverse of the PE the Price Earnings Ratio ) • The Dividend Yield = DPSc / $ Share Price • The Re-Invest Rate = (EPSc – DPSc) / $ NTA • CGVI : Remember “Bigger usually Better”

9. THE “CGVI” FORMULA EPSc + DPSc EPSc - DPSc CGVI % = ------------------ + ------------------ $ SHARE PRICE $ NTA Backing EPSc = Earnings Per Share in cents DPSc = Dividend Per Share in Cents $ NTA = Net Tangible Assets Backing Per Share $ Share Price. All data in Daily Financial review. Warning: If first part of calc is less than 9.3 or second part less than 7 then this share’s calcs may be suspect

10. CGVI TYPE Filter was for Small to Medium USA Enterprises & • Four Years Min. Data History available • Profitability increase of 10% p.a. 4 years • So Don’t bother to analyse a share if:- • $NTA figure is just too low or • DPSc to EPSc ratio is just too low • As CGVI Levels & Prices may be misleading • Exclude abnormal one offs in DPSc & EPSc • It has been Excellent for “All ” ASX shares

11. Using NAB National Bank as Example DATA: NAB $28.88. DPSc 166 NTA$ 10.34. EPSc 270 1. Add EPSc to DPSc & divide result by $ Share price. 2. From EPSc take DPSc and divide by $NTA 3. Add these two numbers to get a share’s CGVI. Step 1 270 + 166 = 436 divide by $28.88 = 15.09 Step 2 270 - 166 = 104 divide by $10.34 =10.05 Step 3 CGVI = 15.09 + 10.05= 25.14 CGVI of 25.1 equates to Optimum Buy Price of $ 31.30 Accumulate to Price of $ 43.90. BUT Check The Trend.

12. Quick & Easy Data SourceThe Daily Financial Review • We look at the Data Tables columns • Find Entry forSUNCORP 27th Aug 2004 • In the Columns:- • Last Sale DPSc NTA EPSc • $14.80 70 $5.45 123 • No need to buy Fin. Review daily but at the two 6 monthly reports it is worthwhile.

15. New single Screen display of CVGI Calculations

16. When Should I Use CGVI.Historical Review may Surprise • Shares / Personal Investment Magazine • Brokers Recommendation Sheets • Twice Yearly at Six Monthly Reporting Time • Write CGVI on these media for History / Review

17. Two Uses for CGVI • 1. Compare two shares in similar Sector • TOL [ 15.03 %] & PRK [ 16.97 % ] • SUN [ 18.04 %] & SGB [ 14.84 % ] • 2. Compare two shares Different Industries • NAB [ 24.41 %] & BSL [ 21.73 % ] • BKW [ 33.59 %] & SOL [ 25.48 % ] • ( Data is from Financial Review 5th June 2004 )

18. Interpretation of CGVI LevelsCGVI Level STUDY Action CGVI >30 A Special Buy > 24 TO 30 Optimal Buy 20 to 24 Accumulate To 17 to < 20 Hold To 12 TO < 17 stay out Verify & Special Study Study further re Buy Accumulate if we hold Keep Holding & look Price probably too high

19. Conversion of a CGVI Level to a NOTIONAL PRICE • Having found a CGVI for a share you can equate that level to a Price • Forbes says “Market Average” is about 17 • We will Fix this as a “Hold To” point • Forbes shows “Optimum Buy” as level 25 • We will Fix this as our best BUY point • Lets Fix 20 as an “Accumulate To” point

20. CGVI 17 is Equilibrium Level • Price tends to move to an Equilibrium Level • Dps NTA Eps data changes six monthly • Between reports Price is the only change & • For a Share to MOVE towards a CGVI of 17 • If it’s CGVI > 17 It’s Price tends to rise • & If it’s CGVI < 17 It’s price tends to fall • New data can change CGVI dramatically

21. CONVERT CGVI% to $ PRICE • These are a little trickier see the FORUM explanation • OPB = ( EPSc +DPSc ) /(ABS ( 25 -(( EPSc - DPSc) / NTA$)) ) • ACC = ( EPSc +DPSc ) /(ABS ( 20 -(( EPSc - DPSc) / NTA$)) ) • HLD = ( EPSc +DPSc ) /(ABS ( 17 -(( EPSc - DPSc) / NTA$ ))) • Low NTA or Poor Payout ratio can give aberrational or even nonsensical pricing results at all levels.

22. Warning on the Use of CGVI in Relation to Prices • When we calculate price levels of “Optimum Buy” • “Accumulate To” or “Hold To” we are not • SAYING these Prices have to be met. • What we find is that for a share to move to a new CGVI & Level it’s Price will have to change while the current 6 month EPSc DPSc & NTA$ data is constant; of course Price can change daily • The changed CGVI level only gives a guide & • Not a guarantee of Value or what may happen!.

23. Other Uses For CGVI + • So Without Further Data Input you can set: • An “Optimum Buy” Price level • An “Accumulate To” & “Hold To” Price Level • A Stop Loss or Profit Max. price level for a share • A “Subjective Probability” for Investment Success • A “Kelly Portfolio Optimization ” of $ To Invest • For the latter two read “The Essential Buffett”

24. Independent Back-Testing Studyusing METASTOCK shows • From our Experience That In a majority of studies • Hi CGVI + shares Outperform Low CGVI shares • In Long Term Holding & In Short Term Trading • And L/T Holding Outperforms S/T Trading • Hi CGVI + Shares are of real interest to the Investor

25. The Great Portfolio BuildersHigh CGVI + Shares Tend To • Feature in Takeovers More Often • Issue Splits/Bonus Par or Premium Shares • Have Price moves Generally Upwards • Prompt Profit Maximize rather than Stop Loss • ( But you should always calculate these & Be Ready )

26. CGVI is not enough Need to look at Chart IS Trend Up / Down Is Trend sideways Further Study required Look for clear TREND Never Buy on DOWN Wait on TREND Change HAVING A HIGH CGVI IS JUST NOT ENOUGHThe Share Price Trend is Still A Most Important Indicator Best Source of Information is The Co’s. Annual Report

27. Even If CGVI is HIGHmust CheckPRICE TREND National Australia Bank NAB NEVER BUY WHILE PRICE TRENDS DOWN

28. ION Ltd. Had a High CGVI but Trend Gave a Warning

29. SFC Schaffer Corporation Ltd A CGVI Find This is Type of Share You may find very early Paid $1.20 dividend pa for years, 2004 & 2005. PROFIT MAXIMISATION ~ OUT AT THE TOP As High as $15.35 & CGVI= 21.07 FELL to under $5. You Need to Have STOP LOSS Limit Ready dependant on your average cost. At $3.75 & CGVI = 50 (was worth a Try)

30. Timing Is Important. Remember: Blueover Red ~ Blue over Red ~ Red over Blue & Green
