RISK FACTORS AND OTHER INFORMATION


Prior to making an investment decision, interested investors may carefully consider, along
with other matters set out in this document, the following investment considerations or risk
factors, which are not intended to be exhaustive.
The price of securities can and does fluctuate, and any individual security may experience
upward or downward movements, and may even become valueless. There is an inherent risk
that losses may be incurred that profit made as a result of buying and selling securities. Past
performance is not a guide to future performance. There is an extra risk of losing money
when securities are bought from smaller companies. There may be a big difference between
buying price and the selling price of these securities. An investor deals in a range of
investments each of which may carry a different level of risk.
This risk disclosure does not purport to disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of
investing in these securities. The investor should undertake his own research and study on the
trading of securities before commencing any trading activity. He may request information on
the securities and issuer thereof from the Commission, which are available to the public.
Furthermore, an investor should seek professional advice if he or she is uncertain of, or has
not understood any aspect of, the securities to invest in or the nature of the risks involved in
the trading of the securities.
The following is a description of what the Company considers its key challenges and risks
presented in the order of their proximate effect on the Company.
Political and Economic Conditions
In general, the profitability of the Company depends to a large extent on the overall level of
business and economic activity in the country and the local government, which in turn is
affected by political and economic factors. Any political instability in the future may have a
negative effect on the mining operations of the Company.
Exploration, Development and Operations Risk
There are numerous hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development,
and production of nickel. These include and are not limited to unusual and hindering
geologic formations, erosion, unfavorable weather conditions, flooding and other occurrences
that may arise out of the drilling and removal of material. Any such occurrence may cause
damage to mines and other production facilities, which may result in environmental damage,
and legal liability.
The Company has started initial extraction activities already. Laboratory tests have been
completed and the main haul roads have been developed. The Company has taken the
necessary steps to maintain the roads and facilities to prevent damage and disturbance to the
mining operations.
Risks in the Estimation of Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources
The evaluation of the Companys ore reserves and mineral resources is established on the
results and estimates of several geological and exploration works as well as rigorous studies
conducted by competent geologists and mining engineers. Nonetheless, the reported figures
for ore reserves are only estimates and are therefore not precise calculations.

14

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

The Company believes that intensified and continuous in-fill drilling within the mining area
will increase the confidence in the stated ore reserves, as well as possibly increase ore reserve
estimates.

Volatility of Commodity Prices


Significant declines in the price of nickel may render exploration, development, and
production activities uneconomical until the price recovers. Life-of-mine estimates may have
to be recalculated. Such conditions may result in a material and adverse effect on the financial
performance of the Company.
In order to mitigate such risk, the subsidiary has signed a contract for the sale of a portion of
its production with a commodity broker, while the balance will be sold on the spot market.
This will ensure revenues at a price that is pre-agreed and beneficial to both parties, while still
enabling the company to earn from any upside in the ore price.

Continuity of Demand
There is no assurance that there will be continuity in demand for the nickel ore extracted by
the Company. Importers and refiners may always choose to acquire nickel ore from other
sources, especially if the global demand for nickel significantly declines and results in a large
nickel market surplus.
In order to manage such risk, the Company has a two-tiered market - China is the primary
market for nickel laterite ore while Japan is the primary market for nickel saprolite ore.
Because of the significant volume of both ore types in the Marcventures property, the
company will have a two-tiered market. This is a unique opportunity for the company, as
most nickel mining companies do not have marketable saprolite ores and are thus limited to
the China market.

Risks in Government Regulation


Numerous permits and licenses from local and national government agencies are prerequisites
to the exploration, production, and exportation of nickel ore. There is no assurance that the
Company will regularly obtain and renew such permits and licenses. Failure to obtain the
necessary permits and licenses on a timely basis may lead to significant delays in operations.
The Company has obtained a Mineral Production sharing Agreement and an Environmental
Compliance Certificate from the government, as well as other local permits and licenses. The
Company continues to abide by all the terms and conditions for the granting of said permits
and licenses.
Risks in Environmental Regulation
Amendments in environmental regulation may require future approvals and permits in line
with MMDCs operations. Delay in compliance may result in curtailment of mine
exploration, development, or extraction.
The Company received its Environmental Compliance Certificate on December 2008. It
continues to meet all requirements under the ECC and intends to meet any changes in
regulation that may arise.

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

Exchange Rate Risk


There can be no assurance that: (a) the Peso will not be subject to continued appreciation or
volatility; (b) the current exchange rate policy will remain the same; (c) the Government will
act when necessary to stabilize the value of the Peso, or that any such action, if taken, will be
successful. Since the Company will earn its revenues in dollars, a significant depreciation in
the dollar may adversely affect the financial viability of mining operations.
The Company may possibly enter into forward contracts with banks in order to minimize
foreign exchange risks, if deemed beneficial in the long term.

Weather
Typhoons, continuous rains and floods can limit the operations and production capacity of
MMDCs mine, thus adversely affecting the Companys net income.
The proposed production schedule of the Company takes advantage of the dry season to
maximize ore extraction within period of eight (8) months.
Potential Market Volatility and Limited Liquidity
Although the New Common Shares will be listed in the Exchange, there can be no assurance
that a holder of such Shares will be able to dispose of such Shares in a timely manner. As a
result, a holder of such New Common Shares could be prevented from taking full advantage
of market gains during periods of share price increases and conversely, could be prevented
from fully realizing gains or limiting losses during periods of share price declines.
New Mining Company
Since the Company has only recently begun operating, it has not had any history of operating
profit from its mining activities. The Company also has many capital expenditure
requirements and expenses. However, the Companys officers and employees have a good
track record in the industry and have extensive professional experience in the mining of
nickel.
Risk Due to Litigation
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings. It is not involved in any pending legal
proceedings with respect to any of its properties. It is also not involved in any claims or
lawsuits involving damages that may materially affect it or its subsidiaries.
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, MMDC, however, is involved in four (4) pending
issues. On November 10, 2010, a case was filed by Jaime Datu Dagsaan Bat-ao, Liquisa
Irrigators Association represented by Peter William Olan, Nagkahugpong Managatay Para sa
Kalambuan (NAGMAKAAYO) represented by Crisologo E. Aniono, Sr.; Lydia L. Lascano
and Nick Matthew Q. Irriberi, a minor represented by his father, Vicente Cirilo Irriberi,
before the Regional Trial Court, Branch 41, Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, docketed as Civil Case
No. 224. The said plaintiffs are seeking to stop the mining activities of MMDC but failed to
present their evidence and convince the court to stop the mining operations and extend the
seventy two (72) hours temporary environmental protection order, hence it expired. On May
26, 2011, however, the RTC issued an Order stating that the temporary environmental
protection order issued by the Court is still subsisting and effective until there is an order

16

lifting, revoking or dissolving the same. MMDC has filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the
above Order, which, to date, has not been resolved by the Court. As of February 25, 2012,
the date of hearing has not been set. MMDC has made verifications with the Court and the
Clerk of Court cannot give any date.]
The other three issues involve: (a) a Petition filed by Cantilan Irrigation System Federation of
Irrigators Association (CISFIA) Surigao del Sur Irrigators Federation Association (SURIF)
Cabcant Irrigators Association, Inc., Buyaan Irrigators Association, Inc., CarCanMadCarLan
Baywatch Foundation, Inc. (CBFI), Lovers of Nature Foundation, Inc. before the Office of
the Secretary, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, seeking the cancellation of
the MPSA of MMDC; (b) an Opposition filed by CISFIA before the National Water
Resources Board (NWRB) docketed as WPA No. XIII-SDS 2009-02-036 relative to the
application of MMDC for water rights. The said Opposition has nothing to do with the
present mining activities of MMDC. As of February 25, 2012, the application is still pending;
and (c) a Petition for a Writ of Kalikasan filed before the Supreme Court on May 29, 2011 by
Tribal Coalition of Mindanao [TRICOM], Inc. Daging Manobo Sectoral Tribal Council,
Urbiztondo Manobo-Mamanwa Sectoral Tribal Council, Kinalablaban Sectoral Tribal

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

The Company plans to use the above Php 37.5 million for additional drilling since the mining
property has not yet been fully explored.
Based on the assumption that the Warrants will be exercised by the investors within the year
2013, the above proceeds will be disbursed within the same year. Since the option to exercise
the Warrants rests with the investor, the Company can only assume when it will be exercised
and when the necessary funds will be available for utilization.
In case the available funds are insufficient due to the exercise of less than all of the Warrants,
the Company may finance any shortfall by way of internally generated funds, loans or other
capital raising exercise.
In the event of any deviation or adjustment in the planned use of proceeds, the Company shall
inform the shareholders and the SEC in writing at least thirty (30) days before its
implementation.
None of the above proceeds will be used to discharge debt.

19

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

DETERMINATION OF CONVERSION PRICE AND EXERCISE PRICE

The Conversion Price shall be at Php 2.20 per share.


The exercise price for the Warrants at Php 2.20 per Warrant is the same as the Conversion
Price since it is intended to be an incentive for the lender to invest in the Company.
The Conversion Price was determined by the Board after reviewing the Companys trading
price and nickel prices during the period of preliminary discussions with prospective lenders
until the time that the Board approved the price, and considering that the last time the
Company issued new shares was in May 6, 2010 for a private placement of 50,000,000 shares
(par value Php 1.00 per share) at a price of Php 2.00 per share. It was determined that the
conversion/exercise price should not be lower than the last issue price of Php 2.00 as it would
be unfair to the private placement investors and considering that additional improvements in
the mining facilities had improved shareholder value.
Around September 2, 2010, when the Company began preliminary discussions with
prospective lenders on the appetite for the first convertible loan (Convertible Loan Series I),
the share price was Php 1.80. Around this time, the LME nickel price was less than USD
21,000 per ton from a high of USD 27,000 per ton in April 2010 and a low of USD18,000 in
June 2010. The volatility increased the market risk on the Companys shares so the
conversion price had to be finalized with an attractive premium over the immediately
preceding private placement price of Php 2.00 per share. On September 17, 2010, the
Company finalized the terms of the Convertible Loan and disclosed the conversion price of
Php 2.20 per share. On the same day, September 17, 2010, the share price had a high of Php
2.10 and a low of Php 1.80 per share. The highest share price of Php 2.70 per share was
reached on September 24, 2010 during intraday trading.
For the Convertible Loan Series II, the Company again considered the recent trading history
of the stock as well as the appetite of the prospective lenders. Given the success of the Series
I just six months prior, and considering that its share price for the previous month traded
below Php 2.20, the Company decided to issue Series II at the same conversion price as the
previous convertible loan. The share price traded at a range of Php 1.99 Php 2.06 per share
from February 21, 2011 to March 3, 2011.

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

DILUTION

The dilution to current Shareholders upon conversion of the convertible loan offering,
inclusive of the exercise of the warrants, will be 4.9%.
The net tangible book value of the Company prior to the Convertible Loan Series II
Offer is P1.695 billion or P0.98 per share. The net tangible book value per share of
the Company after the conversion of loan and stock warrant offer is P1.09. Net
tangible book value represents the amount of the Companys total assets less its total
liabilities. The Companys net tangible book value per share represents its net tangible
book value divided by the number of Common Shares outstanding.
After giving effect to the increase in the Companys total assets to reflect its receipt of
the net proceeds of the convertible loan amounting to P 149,800,000 (at P 2.20 Offer
Price per share) and the addition of a total of 85,113,636 new Common Shares subject
of the Offer, the Companys pro-forma net tangible book value would approximately
be P1.09 per share.
The calculation of the net tangible assets per share before and after the Offer is presented
below:

Products/Sales
The principal markets for nickel ore production from the Philippines are currently China and
Japan. In 2007, Philippine nickel ore shipments accounted for around 50% of Chinas total
imports of nickel ore. The proximity of the Philippines to China results in lower freight costs,
thus the preference by Chinese companies of Philippine-sourced nickel ore. Currently, due to
the high cost of freight, Chinese importers are favoring higher grade nickel ore (at least 1.6%
Ni) compared to past shipments of low grade ore (1% Ni). The Company does not anticipate
any problem meeting the Ni grade content requirement of Chinese importers due to the high
Ni grade of its reserves.
Japanese companies on the other hand have been in the past ten (10) years a consistent buyer
of Philippine saprolite ore which are used to produce primary nickel.
The Company relies 100% on foreign sales to Asian clients. It started shipments in August
2011. Nickel ore is directly shipped to buyers. Other than the foregoing, the Company has no
other product or service.

26

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

Competition
The company is primarily engaged in shipping nickel ore in the Asian region - mainly to
Chinese and Japanese clients. The primary differentiator that will give an industry player a
leg up on its competitors is the nickel grade of its ore and the corresponding pricing. The
market leader in nickel ore shipments from the Philippines is Nickel Asia Corporation, which
is several times larger than the Company. The Company believes it is able to compete due to
the quality of its ore, fair pricing, and the high demand for nickel ore which exceeds the
supply the Philippines is able to provide.
Sources and availability of Raw Materials
The Companys nickel ore is extracted from MMDCs mine in Surigao del Sur covered by
Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) No. 016-93-XI.
Equipment, spare parts, and other operating supplies are readily available both locally and
abroad. Primary suppliers include Dyteban Hardware, Juchem Enterprises, Sungold
Commercial, Datalan Communications Services, Johnco Marketing, Caltex, and Jetty.
Sales Contracts
The company has entered into a 3-year offtake agreement with Dunfeng Internatioanl (Phils.)
Inc. for the sale of 1 million Wet Metric Tons of nickel ore per year on a best effort basis
starting on 2012. This will consist of both low grade and high grade nickel ore.
Properties
Office Space
The Company currently leases its office space located at Unit 16A Citibank Tower, 8741
Paseo de Roxas, Makati City. The office space has a total area of 307.9 square meters. The
lease of the space is for three (3) years starting March 15, 2011 to March 14, 2014. The rent is
Php 169,144.32 per month inclusive of twelve percent (12%) value-added taxes, less five
percent (5%) withholding tax.

The renewals of the above leases are subject to agreement by the parties.
The above leased properties are used by MMDC for roads and stockpile areas.
MMDC will acquire and/or lease additional properties to be utilized for roads and stockpile
areas when needed for its operations. The cost of such acquisitions will depend on
negotiations with prospective owners and lessors. MMDC plans to finance such acquisitions
from internally generated funds.

Mining Properties
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, MMDC was granted by the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) of the Philippine National Government MPSA
No. 016-93-XI covering an area of approximately 4,799 hectares located in Cantilan, Surigao
Del Sur. As the holder of the said MPSA, MMDC has the exclusive right to conduct and
develop mining operations within the mineral property over a period of twenty five (25) years
from July 1, 1993. MMDC has identified Nickel Ore as the primary mineral that will be
extracted from the mine and sold to third parties due to the abundance and favorable
characteristics of nickel within the mineral property.

Deed of Assignment to MMDC


MPSA No. 016-93-XI was originally granted to Ventura Timber Corporation (Ventura) on
July 1, 1993. In January 1995, a Deed of Assignment was executed by and between Ventura
and MMDC, wherein Ventura assigned to MMDC all its rights, title and interest in and to

29

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

MPSA No. 016-93-XI. The Deed was duly registered with the Mines and Geosciences Bureau
(MGB) Regional Office (RO) No. XIII on February 9, 1995, and was subsequently approved
on January 15, 2008, making MMDC the official contractor of the mineral property. The
Companys Chairman, Mario Vijungco, was the former owner of Ventura Timber
Corporation, the original holder of MPSA 016-93-XI.
Note that MPSA 016-93-XIII and MPSA 016-93-XI refers to one and the same mining
property. At that time MMDC and Ventura executed abovementioned Deed of Assignment,
Surigao del Sur was still included as part of Region XI. On February 25, 1995, the CARAGA
Region (Region XIII) was created through Republic Act No. 7901, which included five
provinces, namely: Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and
Dinagat Islands. In this Prospectus, the Company refers to the mining property as MPSA 01693-XI to avoid confusion.
The Partial Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility of MMDC was approved by the MGB
on October 23, 2009 authorizing MMDC to proceed with the development and operating
periods of the MPSA, including extraction and commercial disposition of nickel ore and
associated minerals within the 300 hectare portion of its contract area. The remaining portion
of the contract area is still under exploration period.
Following is a summary of the major details covered by the Partial Declaration of Mining

Government Approvals; Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations on the


Business
The Company is already in possession of its Mineral Production Sharing Agreement,
Environmental Compliance Certificate, and has been given Notice to Proceed with its mining
operations by the Mines & Geosciences Bureau of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
Government regulations effect on the Company is primarily on the costs of compliance
which are appropriately reflected in the Companys books either as an expense or as a capital
asset under the GAAP.
Determination of the effect of probable government regulations cannot be known until
specific provisions are made clear.
Exploration and Development
In April 2008, MMDC engaged Dr. Carlo A. Arcilla, a Competent Person in Geology, to
study the exploration data on the mineral property and verify its nickel resources. Dr. Arcilla
is a director of the National Institute of Geological Sciences of the University of the
Philippines. Dr. Arcillas preliminary geologic resource report showed Inferred Resources of
53 million WMT of nickel laterite at an average Ni grade of 1.2% covering 400 hectares. In
August 2010, he reported Indicated Resources of 15.9 million DMT of laterite (equivalent to
22.7 million WMT) at an average Ni grade of 1.5% covering 120 hectares. It should be noted

30

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

that these 120 hectares represents about 3.5% of the effective area for mining out of the total
4,799 hectares constituting the Mineral Property.
The Economic Assessment and Ore Reserve Technical Report was completed by Engr.
Orlando S. Cruz, a Competent Person - Mining Engineer, on March 2010 in accordance with
the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code. This report estimated Mineable Ore Reserve at 11.6
million WMT with average grade of Ni grade of 1.5% is also based on 120 hectares.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
The Company is strongly committed to its policy of protecting and enhancing the
environment. As of December 2011, it spent Php 12,42 million in accordance with its
Environmental Protection and Enhancement Program. It has allocated a floor amount of Php
26.89 million in 2012 for its environmental program.
Business Transactions with Related Parties
The Company obtained non-interest bearing advances from stockholders which are payable
on demand..Such advances were used by the Company in day to day operations, general
administrative expenses, and for payroll.
As of December 31, 2011, such advances from stockholders amounted to Php 9,621,255,
broken down as follows:
Name of Stockholder
Dy Chi Hing

Amount Advanced
Php 2,726,308

Mario Vijungco

Php 6,894,947

Total

Php 9,621,255

Development Activities
The Company has not spent any amount on development activities. However, its wholly
owned subsidiary, MMDC, spent a total of Php 413 million for mine development from 2008
to 2011. There were no revenues for MMDC during that period.

Risks of Mining
Exploration, Development and Operations Risk
There are numerous hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development,
and production of nickel. These include and are not limited to unusual and hindering
geologic formations, erosion, unfavorable weather conditions, flooding and other occurrences
that may arise out of the drilling and removal of material. Any such occurrence may cause
damage to mines and other production facilities, which may result in environmental damage,
and legal liability. The company has in place its Environmental Protection and Enhancement
Plan which has resulted in structures built to prevent siltation and untoward flooding of the
minesite, a Safety and Health Program, and a Crisis Management Team in place.
Risks in the Estimation of Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources

31

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

The evaluation of the Companys ore reserves and mineral resources is established on the
results and estimates of several geological and exploration works as well as rigorous studies
conducted by competent geologists and mining engineers. Nonetheless, the reported figures
for ore reserves are only estimates and are therefore not precise calculations. The Company
conducts in-fill drilling to validate the estimates further, and conducts a continuous
exploration program to continually increase its estimated mineral reserves.
Volatility of Commodity Prices
Significant declines in the price of nickel may render exploration, development, and
production activity uneconomical until the price recovers. Life-of-mine estimates may have to
be recalculated. Such conditions may result in a material and adverse effect on the financial
performance of the Company. The Company can enter into longer term, fixed price contracts
with buyers to mitigate this risk.
Exchange Rate Risk
There can be no assurance that: (a) the Peso will not be subject to continued appreciation or
volatility; (b) the current exchange rate policy will remain the same; (c) the Government will
act when necessary to stabilize the value of the Peso, or that any such action, if taken, will be
successful. Since the Company will earn its revenues in dollars, a significant depreciation in
the dollar may adversely affect the financial viability of mining operations. The company will
take exchange rate risk management measures under advisement from its financial advisors.
Weather
Extended rainy seasons may limit extraction and haulage. The company has measures and
plans in place that can increase daily production rates when weather hampers extraction and
haulage activities. Buffer equipment is in place to increase the equipment complement of any
particular shift. Additional shifts will also be employed in order to meet production targets.
However, these can only mitigate the effects of the weather on production and haulage to a
certain degree.

Employees
Company
The Company currently has a total of five (5) employees, consisting of two (2) in accounting,
one (1) in administrative, two (2) clerical/messenger personnel and two (2) consultants. For
the ensuing twelve (12) months, the Company anticipates it will have the same number of
employees. There is no employees union. There are no employees who are subject to any
Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The Company was not threatened by any strike
in the past three years. The Company has not given any supplemental benefits or incentive
arrangements with its employees. The Company believes relations with the employees are
good.
Marcventures Mining & Development Corporation:
As of December 31, 2011, MMDC has a total of 352 employees, of which 245 are regular,
107 are contractual.
Of the 352 employees, a total of 34 employees perform administrative work and 318
employees are involved directly in mine site operations.

32

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

There is no employees union nor is there a collective bargaining agreement with the
employees. There has not been a strike in MMDCs history.

of MMDCs mineral project.

Legal Proceedings
As of December 31, 2011, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings. It is not
involved in any pending legal proceedings with respect to any of its properties. It is not
involved in any claims or lawsuits involving damages that may materially affect it or its
subsidiaries.

33

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

As of December 31, 2011, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, MMDC, is currently
involved in four (4) pending issues:
(a) Petition filed by Cantilan Irrigation System Federation of Irrigators Association
(CISFIA) Surigao del Sur Irrigators Federation Association (SURIF) Cabcant
Irrigators Association, Inc., Buyaan Irrigators Association, Inc., CarCanMadCarLan
Baywatch Foundation, Inc. (CBFI), Lovers of Nature Foundation, Inc. before the
Office of the Secretary, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
This petition was filed on July 20, 2009 and seeks the cancellation of the MPSA of
Marcventures Mining and Development Corporation and the issuance of a Temporary
Restraining Order and Injunction. The Secretary, however, is not vested with the
power to cancel a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement and issue a temporary
restraining order or injunction as the powers belong solely to the court, the MPSA
being a contract constitutionally allowed and protected requiring judicial process.
Temporary restraining order and injunction are ancillary remedies to a case pending
in court. As of December 2011, we did not receive any order from the Office of the
Secretary.
(b) Case filed by Jaime Datu Dagsaan Bat-ao, Liquisa Irrigators Association
represented by Peter William Olan, Nagkahugpong Managatay Para sa Kalambuan
(NAGMAKAAYO) represented by Crisologo E. Aniono, Sr.; Lydia L. Lascano and
Nick Matthew Q. Irriberi, a minor represented by his father, Vicente Cirilo Irriberi,
before the Regional Trial Court, Branch 41, Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, docketed as
Civil Case No. 224.
The case was filed on November 10, 2010. The Plaintiffs seek to stop the mining
activities but failed to present their evidence and convince the court to stop the
mining operations and extend the seventy two (72) hours temporary environmental
protection order, hence it expired. On May 26, 2011, however, the RTC issued an
Order stating that the temporary environmental protection order issued by the Court is
still subsisting and effective until there is an order lifting, revoking or dissolving the
same. MMDC has filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the above Order, which, to
date, has not been resolved by the Court.
The court cannot cancel the MPSA not only because the DENR is not a party to the
case but it is contract sanctioned and protected by the Constitution, mining law and
existing laws. The mining activities of MMDC are authorized by the Environmental
Compliance Certificate and Partial Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility.
Moreover, its operation has not been stopped by the DENR and its bureaus which
have jurisdiction and regulatory functions over mining activities.
Equally important, MMDC has not been penalized for violations of environmental
laws or its corporate officers charged and convicted.
The case is set for hearing on July 20 to 22, 2011. This hearing was cancelled due to
the inhibition of the Presiding Judge and no date of hearing has been set.
(c) Opposition filed by the Cantilan Irrigation System Federation of Irrigators
Association [CISFIA] before the National Water Resources Board [NWRB] docketed
as WPA No. XIII-SDS-2009-02-036 relative to the application of Marcventures
Mining and Development Corporation for water rights.
This opposition has nothing to do with the present mining activities of MMDC. We
were just notified of an opposition of MMDCs application for water rights. As of the

34

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

date of this Prospectus, it is still pending. Neither did we receive any order form the
Board or pleadings from the Oppositor.
(d) Petition for a Writ of Kalikasan filed before the Supreme Court on May 29, 2011 by
Tribal Coalition of Mindanao [TRICOM], Inc. Daging Manobo Sectoral Tribal
Council, Urbiztondo Manobo-Mamanwa Sectoral Tribal Council, Kinalablaban
Sectoral Tribal Council, Cabangahan Tribal Community Manobo Tribe, Victoriano
Vidal and Datu Willy Daging against Taganito Mining Corporation, Platinum Group
Metals Corp., Synergy Mining Corp., Shenzhou Mining Group Corp. and
Marcventures Mining and Development Corp.
The said petition seeks the issuance of a temporary environmental protection order
against the above named companies, including MMDC. To date, MMDC has not
received any Order from the Supreme Court although it was furnished a copy of the
Petition as required by the rules governing environmental cases. The Supreme Court
denied the application of the Petitioners for Writ of Kalikasan and delegated to the
Court of Appeals, Mindanao Station, the reception of the evidence for Temporary
Environmental Protection Order.
Other than the foregoing, MMDC and the Company have no other actual, pending or
threatened litigation. Likewise, MMDC and the Company are unaware of any involvement of
their respective executives, directors and/or officers in any legal proceeding for the past five
(5) years.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

December 31, 2011 vs. June 30, 2011


As of June 30, 2011, Marcventures Mining and Development Corp MMDC (the
subsidiary), a 100% owned corporation of Marcventures Holdings Inc. MHI ( the
Company ), was still in the exploration stage with no income generating activities which
resulted to an accumulated deficit of 73.87 million. For the quarter ending September 30,
2011, MMDC made four shipments to China with an estimated total volume of 217,265.74
WMT from its own causeway in Carrascal, Surigao del Sur. As a result of the completion of
these four shipments, the company made a profit in the amount of 157.33 million. This
redounded to complete turnaround from the recorded deficit of 73.87 million for the period
June 30, 2011 to a retained earnings of 83,464,731 for September 30, 2011.
For the quarter ending December 31, 2011, the subsidiary made eight shipments to China
with an estimated total volume of 410,833.46 WMT which recorded a gross sale of 481.84
million and a net income of 109.77 million. For the interim period July-December. 2011 the
subsidiary recorded total sales of 842.90 million worth of nickel ore and a consolidated net
income of 267.35 million.

resulted to total consolidated assets amounting to 2,562.82 million, equivalent to an
increase of 18.80% or an additional 405.54 million increase from 2,157.28 million as of
June 30, 2011.
Total Liabilities of the Company increased from 461.91 million for the period June 30,
2011 to 555.09 million for the period December 31, 2011 . The increase was mostly due to
increase in trade and other payables including payables to contractors. The decrease in notes
payable for the comparative period amounting to73.68 million was due to payments made
to investors as well as those who opted to convert their private placement to equity.
The stockholders equity increased by 18.42% to 2,007.72 million as of December 31, 2011
or an additional 312.35 million from 1,695.37 million as of June 30, 2011. The increase
was due to income generated by its subsidiary amounting to 281.79 million which resulted
in the companys retained earnings in the amount of 193.48 million as of December 31,
2011 or an increase of 267.353 million from a deficit of 73.87 million as of June 30, 2011.
Furthermore, investors who opted to convert their private placement into equity resulted in an
increase in Capital Stock to 1,721.46 million and due to the Additional Paid- In Capital of
92.78 million.
December 31, 2011 vs. December 31, 2010
Net Income for the quarter ending December 31, 2011
For the quarter ending December 31 2011, the Company registered a consolidated net income
of 109.77 million from a recorded net loss of 10.27 million for the comparative period in
2010; the administrative expenses amounted to 8.17 million during the three months ended
December 31, 2011 equivalent to 46.15% higher than the 4.40 million for the comparative

Marcventures Mining & Development Corporation, is still in its development phase and will
officially begin commercial operations next year. Total revenues for 2010 amounting to
P19,770,434 are generated from the sale of available-for-sale securities, sale of property,

Consolidated Balance Sheet


2010
Total assets of the Company increased to P 1,778,551,583 from P 92,671,820. This is largely
brought about by the business combination of the Company and the investor group,
Marcventures Mining & Development Corporation. Explored mineral resources are valued at

39

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

P 1,294,766,157. Advances to MMDC amount to P 408,500,000. Property, Plant, and


Equipment likewise increased to P 56,988,589 from P 207,821 last year.
Total Liabilities stood at P 16,220,881, comprised mainly of accrued expenses of MMDC.
Stockholders Equity has increased to P 1,800,892,421 brought about by the business
combination with MMDC.

2009
Total assets of the Company declined by 4% to P3.6 million. This is largely brought about by
the P1.2 million overall decrease in current assets due to 36% lower cash position. Securities
available for sale also dropped by P2.0 million. Property and Equipment is also lower by
P451 thousand versus last year mainly due to depreciation. The Company has had no
material capital expenditures.
Total Liabilities of the Company stood at P19.5 million, 20% higher versus June 30, 2008.
The increase in liabilities pertains to the advances by Philtown against the proceeds from the
sale of condominium units assigned to the Company under the share purchase agreement
entered into by Marcventures Holdings Inc. with Philtown. Interest bearing short term debt in
the form of notes payable stood at the same level as the previous year of P2.0 million.
Stockholders equity of P73.2 million is lower by 9% versus last year brought about by higher
deficit due to higher losses incurred and higher net unrealized loss on securities available for
sale.
Consolidated Cash Flow
2010
The proceeds from the issuance of common stock were used to fund the continuing
exploration, development, and mining operations of its subsidiary, MMDC. The Company
ended its fiscal year with P 40,833,733 in cash.
2009
The increase in advances by Philtown was used to fund the negative cash flow of P3.7 million
from operating activities. The Company ended its fiscal year with P1.4 million in cash.
Supplementary Disclosures to the Audited Financial Statements for the Year Ended
June 30, 2011
Based on the findings of the SEC issued to MHI on March 24, 2011, the Company has
reviewed carefully each finding and has addressed three major concerns on the financial
statements as follows:

All items in the statement of cash flows under the increase (decrease) in advances are
presented at gross inflows and outflows. The P17.5 million advances from Philtown
were reclassified from the 2009 presentation of P16.5 million other non-current
liabilities. The gross inflow for the year 2010 is only P1 million.
The Inventories are under the Other Current Asset account since these were
consumables such as spare parts supplies, lubricants, electrical and laboratory
supplies. The amount was considered immaterial to provide further disclosure. All

40

Draft Prospectus as of 29 February 2012

accounts under other current assets fall under the policy of prepayments. There will
be a change the account title to other consumables.
There were no property used to secure a loan and no items of property and equipment
were retired from active use and not classified as held for sale, except for the
transportation equipment that was acquired through United Coconut Planter Bank,
which was disclosed in Note 13 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
On Employee Benefits disclosure, the parent company has only one employee while
the subsidiary has not yet started commercial operations, thus management believes
that the amount of retirement benefits would be immaterial. The Company will obtain
the services of an actuary for its subsidiary, MMDC for 2011 to comply with
Republic Act 7641 on Retirement benefits.
The Company has properly identified all of its related party transactions for proper
classification on its succeeding financial statements.
The Company will assess the possibility of writing down its investments that are no
longer operating.
On Business Combination, disclosures on business combination were discussed as
follows:
The date of business
combination
The acquisition-date fair value
of each major class of
consideration
Method of accounting
The amounts recognized as of
the acquisition date for each
major assets acquired and
liabilities assumed
Regulatory approvals obtained

Outlook
MMDCs mineral property remained undeveloped for many years due to the relatively low
price of nickel which made production uneconomical. Since then, nickel prices have
increased, and together with new technologies in refining nickel limonite ore, created a strong
demand for nickel ores, especially from China. The economic viability of nickel limonite ore
spurred the Company to conduct further explorations of the mineral property, which led to the
discovery of large volumes of high-grade saprolite nickel ore.
The future of MMDC will largely be dictated by the demand for and price of nickel and the
ability of the Company to successfully develop and enlarge its orebody to enable it to
continuously ship larger quantities over time. Presently, MMDCs work program covers an
area of 120 hectares, which is only about 2.5% of the total mineral property covered by its
MPSA.
