The Company has a long list of projects due to completed within the next three years to 2013. For the balance of 2011 alone, there are at least eight (8) developments due to be turned over to the owner at completion. The estimated value of these 2011 projects is roughly php4.5 billion. Assuming the Company merely achieves the same margins it did last year of almost 8.0%, this will translate to a net income of php315 to php320 million, putting it on track to meeting its upward adjusted earnings guidance of between php720 million to php800 million. The figure does not include the revenue still to be recognized from project backlogs, which at the end of December 2010, amounted to php14.2 billion. Assuming only half of these are realized and the other lost to penalties or other delays assessment (depending on the contract provisions), a mere 7% margin translates to an additional earnings of php500 million. In this context, the guidance may even look conservative. FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE: The Company's 2010 Net Income expanded three-fold to php335 million compared to prior year's total of only php71 million. A combination of project completions and new projects acquired and started, made such result possible.

The Company's Order Book has registered strong growth from only php3.07 billion in 2008 to php14.0 billion last year. This translates to a 2-year compound growth of 113.5%, or a doubling of orders per year. This gains more significance when taken in the context of a general economic slowdown in 2008 and 2009. We observe significant improvements across all Key Performance Indicators tabled above. Lending more confidence in the prospects of MWIDE moving forward is a recent BSP Business Sentiment Survey which, although showing a slight dip in optimism, points to the Construction sector as being still the most optimistic across all sectors. The drag was presented by the perceived slow disbursements of funds for government's infrastructure projects under the PPP scheme, the rationalization of other government programs in an effort to bring down costs and generate savings plus the rising costs of

materials. Nevertheless, with the Aquino administration keeping to its commitment to the PPP scheme, these challenges may be considered temporary and will be resolved soon. This will undoubtedly boost the Company's prospects. RECENT NEWS & DEVELOPMENTS: Bagged the php1.5 billion contract to construct the succeeding phases of Belle Corporation's [pse: BEL] casino complex to rise within the Manila Bay reclamation area. The project includes the construction of structural and civil works for the two hotel towers, four condotels and a casino.

Since its listing last February, the stock has drawn an uptrend, closing last Friday's trades at php9.41, just a tick below the intra-day and all-time high of php9.42. Thus the stock is in unfamiliar and uncharted territory. The underlying technical measures confirms the positive momentum, albeit putting it at overbought levels. Critical support level at php8.60-8.70 marking the range as the buy window. Depending on the risk profile of the investor, purchases at between support and below php9.00 may present good opportunity over the long haul. The stock is trading at 11.5x prior year's earnings, a bargain compared to the Construction subsector's 14.6x (April 2011), more so, when ranged against the broad Industry's 18.7x. A subsector and sector averages, MWIDE share price should hover between php11.95 to 15.30. The range is even higher using an estimated 2011 EPS of between php0.84 and php0.93, which are based on the earnings guidance band. RECOMMENDATION: BUY & HOLD
