A place for trading virtual stocks in SL http://www.intlstockexchange.com/ Sales: $1,430Expenses: 0Dividend Posted! http://www.intlstockexchange.com/displaypressrelease.php?releaseid=628 09.05.08 The vote appears to be 4,921 shares wanting to continue GIIF in some capacity and 1,305 wanting to  liquidate.  I think everyone is aware that two plans have been proposed to manage the fund and they need to be evaluated as well as give others time to present a plan.  Since GIIF is going to continue and we still don't have a plan set in place for new management, I would like to propose this.I'll take over temporary management of the fund till the end of the month.  By then we can find somebody to take over.  This will allow me to open trading back up at 8am SLT time tomorrow morning, September 5th.  We'll have a meeting on Sunday with everyone invited to try to lock a plan down.If anyone has any objections, post them here, pm me privately or contact me in SL.  If you don't think I should take over temporary management to allow trading to open back up then feel free to say so, you aren't going to hurt my feelings.  If this does seem like a reasonable temporary plan then what I thought would never happen is going to happen, GIIF will start trading again in the morning. http://www.intlstockexchange.com/displaypressrelease.php?releaseid=627 09.04.08 Revenue   Commission and Advertising 23114   Dividends 3221   Stipend 1200   Total 27535         Expenses     Advertising and Promotions 233   Affiliate Commission 22   Building 8400   Total 8655         Income 18880   Balance Sheet           Assets     Cash On Hand 1179166   ISE Short Term Investments 188413 * will be updated in a few days Stock 202111 * will be updated in a few days ISE Stock 73202 * will be updated in a few days Land 2000   Intangible Asset** 2300000         Total Assets 3944892               Liabilities     Deposits 1235706   Insurance Fund 80735 *cancellation of GIIF funds Short Term Loan* 200000 * will go away this month Share Holder Equity 2297053         Total Liabilities 3944892   I wanted to go ahead and release financials although there are some question marks with some of the assets due to GIIF.  Overall the month was very similar to July and a 1 cent dividend will be paid.  Obviously I am not happy with a 1 cent dividend and some changes need to be made.  The first change is CollegeTeamExchange.com.  This is an attempt to rebrand the software to try and improve advertising revenue.  19 accounts have been set up already on the site and there is some trading activity.  If this goes over well then I will replicate it with other sports teams and other stuff that can be traded such as actors.  The second big thing is the new building and land.  The land was generously donated by Rodders and is one of the reasons why we can easily stay in the black.  There are some notes on the financials, one is the loan to me.  It will be repaid this month, I had to loan the exchange money when the banking ban hit but the money has been paid back and therefore the loan can be paid back to me.  I am very appreciative and instead of taking the money out of SL will be reinvesting it into companies on the exchange.  To make the financials as simple as possible I am just going to remove the entry from the balance sheet and note it here. http://www.intlstockexchange.com/displaypressrelease.php?releaseid=626 09.02.08 Dear Shareholders,August - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, that is how I would describe the past month. JAM posted a numerically colourful profit of $L101,010 for the month, after an abnormal item totalling almost $60,000 was deducted. A dividend of 3c per share has been declared and paid.The months highlights/lowlights included:- A fully primmed sim, The Big Island, was converted into 4 open spaces. The bad news is this cost $27,300 in conversion costs, and an estimated $33,000 in lost rent during downtime (4 days). I also gave the remaining residents a weeks free rent for inconvenience. The good news is that the four open spaces are 100% full and generating $27,000 a month more income than before when the full prim island was barely breaking even. So we'll re-coup the last funds within 3 months. - We added 12 new Open space sims, and started two new estates, Europa Estates and Sailors World. Europa was formed because Oceania had run out of names and Sailors World is a 4 sim estate where the tennants get a block of 8192m land and 120,000 sq metres of Ocean to sail their boats. It is now 100% full after a slow start- Our sims are 97% full with 171 of 176 blocks rented out. - Lowlights for the month also included Great Britain winning 19 Gold medals in Beijing (sorry Wenden, I'm Australian, you know the drill). Seriously guys, what was with that? Although I hope to see you lot in London 2012, I'll bring along some Union Jacks. So now we move onto NFL season, I'm predicting another miserable year for the Bengals (7-9), Pittsburgh and the Pats will do well, the Dolphins & Jets may suprise and a NY Giants re-peat is on the cards. As for September, I had two choices, bumper month or bite the bullet. I chose bite the bullet and Kingston Inlet will now be converted into 4 open spaces, this will mean more abnormal costs of around $50,000-$70,000. I like to think that I dont spin things, but I can see bumper months on the horizon. We currently own 3 full prim simmed and 32 open spaces, that are 97% full, do the math.I'm predicting a profit of $130,000-$170,000 for September, and another 6c dividend. I'm aiming for an 8c dividend in October and November, followed by a sustainable 10c dividend for December and beyond.Please find the company financials below.Rodders Holgado  Statement of Financial Performance for the Month Ended 30 September 2008INCOMERental Income         891,371Lindex Trading            9,476 ExpensesLL Tier                    772,537 Relocation Exp          27,300 Net Profit                101,010  Statement of Financial Positionas at 30 September 2008AssetsLindens                  360,627Land                   2,063,721Prepayments           356,481LiabilitiesInc Rec in Adv         591,702Director Loans       1,609,404Equity Retained Profit       (593,090)Shareholder Funds 1,172,813   http://www.intlstockexchange.com/displaypressrelease.php?releaseid=625 09.01.08 I have figured out CBE monthly statement for the month of August. The company posted a loss of $7200.00L I will be posting the statement shortly. http://www.intlstockexchange.com/displaypressrelease.php?releaseid=624 09.01.08 As of this time it is not looking like there will be a dividend posted for Aug. I have looked at my island to try to figure out ways to improve CBE's profit. The Sim Norns as we know it will be switched into a low prim sim and the other three will be offered to residents as a private island. We have one resident all ready interested in Purchasing another private low prim. With the original cost of Norns at 500US I will be able to offer these low prims at a price that will allow them to be snatched right up. This will in turn, take a loss of $67000L and turn it to a profit of $27600L so if I am not able to post a dividend this month next months should be better http://www.intlstockexchange.com/displaypressrelease.php?releaseid=623 08.27.08 Dear Unitholders,The currency markets have undergone their first shift in 18 months, and this has caused a slowdown in trading. JCF produced a profit of $L3340 for the fortnight ended 21 August. A dividend of 1.04c per unit has been distributed with no performance fee subtracted. The unit price is $L1.Rodders Holgado http://www.intlstockexchange.com/displaypressrelease.php?releaseid=622 08.24.08
