Opportunity for privateinvestors to make money with nature conservation. Smallholders get cheapfinancing and technical support in exchange for dedicating a % of their landto permament nature conservation. Net revenues are split 50/50 betweensmallholders and investors.Market and CustomersRevenues are based on local timber prices and for the expensive timbersegments on international timber trading. Customers sought are investorswith an appetite for a highly social and highly ecological project. A highupside revenue potential is possible through the sales of PES (CO2 creditsand Tree Planting Subsidy Certificates or TPSCs'').Timber is sold to the local and to the international market.CO2 credits are sold to companies seeking to compensate theirenvironmental impact.TPSC's also are sold to companies seeking to compensate theirenvironmental impact.CompetitionCompetitors are the regular timber markets and other projects producingPES.Competitive AdvantageThe produced timber will be FSC certified and consists of varied indigenoustimber species produced under the highest ethical quality standards in theworld.The PES products have an edge in the CO2 credit and other PES marketsbecause ArBolivia has the highest level of ethical added value possible.Ecological advantages and social advantages are unparalelled.InnovationArBolivia is the first project world wide that makes it possible on a largescale for private investors to make money with nature conservation whilealso uplifting the local population.Growth StrategyOnce it can be shown that this 7200 hectares project has been financedfully, its example will trigger an avalanche of other parties world wide toimitate this novel business model, that is profitable for the environment,the local population and for the investors alike.

Natural and planted forest downstream productionCombined production of high-value natural and planted forest species with attributed processinginto finished and semi-finished products offer a low-risk investment opportunity. The project ismanaged by international expertise, which offers sustainability and access to high price marketsto capture the full value chain of timberland investments.Picture of the productor producton areaOur businessThis Investment Proposal is addressed to investors seeking a straightforward long‐terminvestment in tropical forestry, tropical wood processing, and product marketing. F.I.T. TimberGrowth Fund Ltd. (FIT) is a private mutual fund licensed in St. Vincent and the Grenadines thatoffers qualified investors an opportunity to make a fully ecological investment into renewablenatural resources, in particular into both, sustainable timber plantations and management ofnatural forests, respectively.ServiceThe investment goal is to produce high‐quality timber products for high‐price markets. On onehand, FIT has concentrated its investment activity in acquiring Acacia mangium plantations andthe necessary planting areas in Brazil. On the other hand FIThas entrusted the planting andmanagement of the plantations to it's fully‐owned service provider. Moreover, FIT hasdiversified into the management of natural forest in 2009 through the acquisition of a naturalforest area and associated processing facilities. The performance since inception is 5.1% p.a.,mainly driven by biological growth. Presently, harvesting capacity and downstream facilities arebeing build‐up. Moreover, carbon certification and processing of residual wood to electricity,charcoal, and diesel are developed.Market and CustomersAn attractive and extremly diversified production making use of nearly 100% of the harvestedoffer good market opportunities at local and international level for tangible (timber, electricity,charcoal, diesel) and intangible (carbon sequestration) benefits. The sources of material are30'000 ha's of Acacia mangium plantations and 17'000 ha's FSC‐certified forests (plantationunder way).CompetitionBrazilian natural forest timbers are highly appreciated on the international market and Acacia isone of the most promising plantation species. The combined production ‐ on seperate areas ofcourse ‐ is unique and competition is low. However, there are a number of of investmentopportunities that are competing with FIT in either planted forest or natural forestmanagement.Competitive AdvantageCompared to other investment opportunities, FIT offers already a low‐risk and diversifiedinvestment approach that is ready for harvesting timber.InnovationCapturing the whole value chain for timber and residual material in one investment is unique.Moreover, the combination of traditional methods (sawmilling) with innovative technology(biomass to liquid (BTL)) for e.g. diesel production is outstanding.Growth StrategyThe 30'000 ha plantations are due for harvesting. Present growth is focusing on building‐upharvesting capacity and associated processing facilities.Key FactsFinancing Need (USD) 85mCountryBrazilStageHarvesting and downstreamprocessing1999Year of EstablishmentSectorSalesNet profit after taxNumber of employeesForestry and Downstream Processing2012 16m 02014 38m 2m2016 83m 19m2018 93m 25m350400450450Investments needed:Fixed Assets PurchasesWorking CapitalTotal Financing NeedHow to be financed:Own ContributionLoans (debt)External Share CapitalGrant(s) / Other sources 75m 10m 85m-- 20m 65m0FinanceCapital requirements are for investments in forestry machiney (harvesting equipment),increased sawmill production capacity and for the establishment of biomass‐related facilities forproduction of energy, solid fuels and liquid fuels. Aside from the existing institutional investorbase, the Fund is in discussions with local (Brazil) and regional (Latin America) developmentbanks.Entrepreneur & ManagementIn Brazil, FIT has successfully established 30'000 ha's of Acacia mangium plantationsand aquired 17'000 ha's of pristine natural forest. The management haveoutstanding international experience and are in the process of diversifying theinvestment to other areas in Brazil and internationally. The present value of the fundis approx. USD 280m, whereby the target is set to USD 500m.Development ImpactThe impacts are many‐fold: The creation of local jobs in a remote area in Brazil contributes tothe stabilization of local economies. The production of goods and services for local use on‐sitepositively influences the carbon balance, as transportation of timber, diesel, charcoal, etc. willbe significantly reduced. FSC certification is available for management of the natural forest andchain‐of‐custody for the sawmill for associated timber. The certification of the planted forest isunderway and major CAR are expected to be closed by August 2011.Non financial needsThe company's managers are well‐experienced in the field of acqusition of funds,land estates, tenure rights, sustainable forest management and timber marketing.They will buy‐in specialized knowledge on setting‐up and running the sawmillfacilities.DISCLAIMER: This material is for information only.
