Updated Book Value as of December 16.99

Pica book value end of day Dec 16.99

Book value calculations

I will use purchase price on our private companies even though that may be severely
undervalued.

Private Companies
Softquad 35% interest = 1,250,000 (cost)
Visible Decision 40% int = 1,100,000 (cost)
Online Direct 2 % int. = 150,000 (cost)

Public Companies US
LUMM 1 ,000,000 shares @ $23 1/8 Us x 1.47 = 33,993,750 Cnd
VGIN 1,000,000 shares @ $28 Us x 1.47 = 41,160,000 Cnd

Public companies Canadian

BFG.V 70,000 shares @ 9.70 = 679,000
ESL.T aprox 600,000 shares @ 6.50 = 3,900,000
MNTX 2,200,000 shares @ 1.25 = 2,750,000
NSII 4,000,000 shares @.37 = 1,480,000

Total Book Value
Assets 86,462,750
Shares out. 9,000,000

Equals $9.60 share in Book value
Current trading price 2.95
Current shares trading at a 69.2% discount to book value

Lumm looked to have formed a bottom today with a nice reversal in the afternoon, VGIN is still strong and heading to $30 . All that is missing now is for investors to realize what they are getting when they buy shares in Pinetree.

Well if they sold near the 40.00 level "I'll be a proud dad" <gggg> My only explanation at this point is they are undiscovered. They had little to know profile on CDN OTC and they are now enjoying slightly better but still limited coverage on the CDNX. CDNX isn't a huge jump, in fact as we all know with the majority of stocks we have held in the past, we couldn't wait for the company to get off "Vancouver", CDNX-V is just another "Vancouver". Credibility comes with exposure and time. The company already has the credibility as a "money making Capital company". Now we just need time for people to realize it.

I think, honestly, that they will get little notice until they announce on the CDNX a capital investment. They have no noteworthy releases on the CDNX yet, this will come in time.
