Interessant und
recht aufschlussreich ist ein Interview von 1999 mit dem Direktor
Alvin Tan Kong Kee ,das bei www.stockhouse.com unter Magna Pacific
abgedruckt ist.
Alvin Tan: We've got a whole stream of announcements which we've made. Our company is basically a few arms of
operations and one of them is Pacific Rim - as an entity down in Australia where we specialise in small stocks. We like
to look at taking positions in small stocks and supporting them - and taking IPO's and placements.
One of the other arms of Pacific Rim's operations is now what we like to see further down the track - is Money Planners
- a financial planning group which we've taken a stake in. They've got about 240 financial planners under their
umbrella.
Now, I can tell you that we are looking to try and sell through that financial planning distribution arm - to their
estimated 250,000 customers - some of our financial products which are not currently sold in Australia. Very few people
know about these things and we don't really want to say too much more about what these products are at this stage, but
there will be quite substantial demand for these things in Australia.
StockHouse: The products are in the financial services industry ?
Alvin Tan: Yes. We have a fully owned Swiss subsidiary and that's called Pacific Asset Management. That Swiss
subsidiary is into private asset management and funds management, and has a licence which is just one notch below a
banking licence in Switzerland.
It is basically a funds management and asset management licence, which is something very difficult to get and we
actually have that. The other arm is an Austrian-based company that is involved in IPO's and small companies in the
European side of things.
They also do some in Australia, but they are very strong in Europe and they do help in listings and that sort of thing.
So, we've got these three or four different arms of operations in the whole group, and the company is growing at quite a
phenomenal rate. Ausdoc just wrote a report on this yesterday and that's available on our website.
StockHouse: Who are your main backers ?
Alvin Tan: We have very strong support from our European shareholders, and I can only say that they are large European
institutions - the main backers who support us.
StockHouse: You're related to Magna Pacific [X.MPH] as well - is that correct ?
Alvin Tan: We are not related as any subsidiary, or have a cross-shareholding or that sort of thing, no. It is just
that Clive McKee (Magna Pacific's Chairman) is a director of both companies.
StockHouse: So what's your relationship with Clive McKee ?
Alvin Tan: I'm one of the other directors on the board.
StockHouse: Have you and Clive known each other for some time ?
Alvin Tan: Yeah, we've known each other for a fair few years.
StockHouse: Do you live in Australia now ?
Alvin Tan: Yes, I do.
StockHouse: And how long have you lived here for ?
Alvin Tan: My background is basically I've been in Australia for give or take about eight or nine years - in and out of
the country. I've worked in Australia, and before that in the stock broking community. I've worked in Asia before in
corporate finance with KPMG, and have experience in a lot of corporate activity and in the equity markets.
StockHouse: Your share price has taken off over the last couple of weeks - what are your views ?
Alvin Tan: Well, we believe there's a huge future for Pacific Rim. I believe that the few announcements that we have
made to date are just the beginning of us making our mark in the Australian market. We do have a goal of being a niche
global investment house, and we are not here trying to be a Merrill Lynch or a BT, or one of these big investment
houses. We have our own little niche and I believe that we are looking to grow through strategic alliances and through
equity positioning, and I believe that we will achieve this goal of ours.
StockHouse: Because you're Malaysian Chinese, and another Director is Malaysian also, there must be some Malaysian
money involved ?
Alvin Tan: There is some, but it's not the bulk of it. The major shareholders are European institutions - they are the
main backers behind this.
StockHouse: So how did Pacific Rim, listed in Australia with Malaysian management, come to be backed by Europeans ?
Alvin Tan: OK, a little bit of history - the company used to be called Adelaide Capital Corporation. It used to be a
company that wasn't doing anything, and the Europeans came into it, and basically then with us inside it. I was on the
board from the previous entity, from when it was Adelaide Capital, and that's when I met Clive McKee and his group of
European institutions that back him.
We've basically formed a very good team, and that's where we started putting in new capital into Pacific Rim to start
doing some of the things that you are now seeing. It's basically been three years since we've taken over the shell, but
it's about a year ago where we actually started putting the pieces together. So that's how the history basically
evolved, and the Malaysian connection was more like an historical past.
Alvin Tan: How old am I ? I am 28.

Plazierung von Adultshop .Auszüge daraus zeigen wieder die
Verknüpfung nach Deutschland
The rights issue will provide net proceeds to Adultshop.com of about $20.4 million to attempt to crack the European and
American adult products markets.
The European underwriters, who are linked to investors Hans-Rudi Moser and Thomas Roogla, originally agreed to back the
issue for a 4.5 per cent fee plus a management fee of $25,000.
But after the tech stock falls of early April, Adultshop.com directors added a bonus 10 million options convertible at
$1 by January 31, 2004 to the package and increased the fee to 6.25 per cent.
After further negotiations last week, the Europeans were given a further 40 million options convertible at $1.
Mr Day said yesterday the Europeans could have withdrawn at any time because of the falls in the Nasdaq index and
wanted some reward for continuing to support the rights issue in the face of the $1 issue price being above
Adultshop.com's market price. Part of the rights issue proceeds will be used to fund the acquisition, announced on May
18, of the San Francisco Internet sex products retailer Game Link.

How Germans are being sizzled
by hot Australian stocks
By Andrew Main
German investors have had a surprisingly long
love affair with the small end of the sharemarket in
Australia, considering the share price
shellackings this market has regularly handed out.
The irritations in Germany of a high personal tax
rate and a staid sharemarket full of interlocking
shareholdings mean that German investors have
long seen Australian stocks as a perfect
destination for their undeclared earnings. As one
told The Australian Financial Review last week, "You
can only lose 100 per cent but you can make 1000
per cent."
The gold boom of the mid-1980s gave them a
successful canter in tiddler gold stocks, many of
which climbed sharply because of gold
discoveries or old-fashioned stock promotion. The
slump in the gold price through the 1990s eroded
almost all the capital gains, but the early investors
who remembered the proverb that "gold shares
are for buying and selling, not holding" did well
enough to keep the myth of the Australian El
Dorado alive.
The game began again in 1999 when Ludger
Kohmascher, scion of an Osnabruck frozen foods
family, made millions trading shares in E*Trade
Australia. Kohmascher has long been a visitor to
Australia because he suffers a crippling bone
disease, ankylosing spondylitis, which responds
well to sunshine.
He had bought in at about $2.51 a share in late
April, and once German investors saw the price
move, they piled in. Kohmascher sold much of the
stock in Germany on the "over-the-counter"
market and it rose to $11. He is still understood to
have some of the stock, but is well below the 5.5
per cent level, having sold out at about $8.
The stock price now? Back where Kohmascher
bought in. But then, word of his coup spread fast
in Germany and several websites, particularly
Zockeronline.de and Wallstreetonline.de, started
looking in earnest at potentially exciting corporate
situations in Australia.
Back in Adelong, which is midway between Tumut
and Wagga, the local mining company's situation
was anything but exciting. The company had been
floated in 1997 at 25¢ a share by a syndicate who
wanted to develop the thin but rich seam that had
given up 800,000 ounces of gold between the late
1800s and World War I. The issue raised $6
million, but by April 1999 the project had still not
reached the commissioning stage and most of the
money had been spent.
Jon Starink, an engineer who was one of the
original significant investors, had made an art of
buying second-hand mining equipment for reuse.
But it emerged that some economies, such as a
lack of infill drilling, had seriously hampered the
project's ability to turn what is known in the trade
as a resource into a mineable gold reserve. The
official resource is 146,000 oz, a tiddler by current
standards.
Adelong directors approached a dealer called
Craig Manners, son of the Kalgoorlie mining
veteran Ron Manners, at the Melbourne office of
broker D&D Tolhurst to look for a way out of the
financial jam. Last April, with the share price at
about 8¢, Manners suggested using some of the
remaining funds to buy into internet prospects.
He also introduced Pacific Rim Investments Pty
Ltd, a Perth-based investment company chaired
by an Englishman, Clive McKee, whose stated
intention is to build a "niche financial services and
investment banking group" with advisory
businesses in Australia and an office in
Switzerland.
Pacific Rim bought heavily into Adelong via its
subsidiary, Pacific Asset Management, paying
about 10¢ a share for stock sold by Starink, who
was forced to resign from the board.
On September 1, 1999, McKee became a
director, alongside Manners, who had introduced
two internet businesses, eSmart Ltd and
FreeISP.com Pty Ltd, taking 50 per cent of the
first and 20 per cent of the second for some
$300,000.
The new beefed-up board provided the ASX with
a solid diet of positive announcements and the
company recovered nicely, not just through a
share price climb back past 20¢, but also thanks
to a series of small share placements and rights
issues via D&D Tolhurst, at least one of which
was declared to have gone to "international
institutional investors". Indeed, by the end of
September, Pacific Asset Management was only
the second-biggest holder, on 7.3 per cent of the
shares, behind the mysterious ANZ Nominees
with 8.36 per cent.
Most of the long-suffering shareholders, many of
whom were Adelong locals, were too happy to
see the stock price recover to worry about who
was buying the shares, but it emerges that it was
small German investors sniffing for a "hot" story. If
they wanted a hot story, they certainly got one.
On January 14, with the share price at 43¢,
Manners gave an interview to the
Dusseldorf-based Wallstreetonline.de website in
which he painted a very rosy picture indeed of
Adelong's future as a venture capital provider to
the internet industry, and the stock price bolted.
The ASX had been querying Adelong's share
price climbs regularly from late 1999, but kept
getting the anodyne "we know of no reason"
response, which merely talked up the stock's
internet potential by way of background.
In the seven trading days after the interview, the
share price more than doubled to $1.08, but a
query on January 18 got the stock response, with
the disingenuous addition that "the company's
securities are traded on the Berlin Stock
Exchange as well as the Australian Stock
Exchange, and have been very actively traded in
recent days".
In the two weeks following Manners' interview,
which he has said his fellow directors did not
know about, several directors including Manners
sold shares and options. McKee, for instance,
sold 700,000 shares and one million options. The
ASX suspended the stock on January 27 on
learning of the Manners interview, by which time
the stock price had spiked up to $1.55 before
closing at $1.469.
