Re: Timbervest Partners A, L.P. - Sale of Timbervest Fund Management Business
Joel,
I received your letter requesting the transfer of the sale of Timbervest Fund Management to Domain Timber Investments. Not disclosed is the reason for the proposed sale. Another non addressed issue is the poor performance of Timbervest versus other timber related investment comparisons.
At the Timbervest investment promotional meeting at Mesirow Financial in Highland Park, IL. in July 2005 given by you and William Boden, I inquired how a Timbervest investment would compare to the Timberland Index. I was told that comparisons would not be precise due to the active nature of Timbervest, but there would be disappointment if Timbervest did not outperform the Timberland

    The culling of white pine on Blackstone Lake began in the late 1880s with the arrival of the Conger Lumber Company. Once the commercially viable pine had been fully exploited the process of stripping hemlock trees of their bark for the leather tanning process began on the lake in the spring of 1900. At the time the Rankin Bros., headed by James Rankin on Blackstone, were supplying the Conger Lumber Co. Another sawmill operator in the region was the Mitchell Lumber Co. set up by Thomas Mitchell in 1898 (later this would become in the 1920s the Mitchell-McDonald Lumber Co.).

    Lewthwaite would need to prove that it was a worthy financial investment. Finally, the committee needed to consider the length of time required to establish a new database because most committee members believed that conclusive information on customer behavior could be drawn only from a minimum of 500,000 members. Further, although they thought that an investment in such a program could be largely beneficial for Cineplex, if implemented poorly, the organization’s image and its ability to deliver customer value could suffer widespread harm. Lewthwaite knew that although the following partner options might not meet all the committee’s criteria, she had to evaluate the most important considerations.…

    Summary: Northwest Canadian Forest Products Limited owns and operates five sawmills in BC and Alberta. They produce high quality lumber for use in the manufacture of window frames, doors and moldings internationally and lower quality commodity type lumber for use in the Canadian construction industry.

The alternative would be to reinvest and downsize by reducing production capacity and permanently laying off half of the 200 workforce and build a new mill in Alberta. To build the new plant would be more expensive but the president is also considering the fact that Jackson…

    Dastmalchi LLC developed several keys to success when the firm launched. Their “fast follower” strategy led them to penetrate many different markets and target different audiences, while maintaining low operational costs. The company had the ability to predict which new products would be successful in the market and quickly release their own, more affordable, version to the public. This strategy was carried out by the company finding manufactures of the product and repackaging and rebranding the product to make it their own. Rather than using their own resources to innovate and market their own unique products, Dastmalchi found a way to piggyback off the success of others.…
