PIMCO Q4 2022 INVESTOR REPORT

STATEMENT FROM THE BOARD

Having launched in September 2022, the Purgatorio Investment Management Company (PIMCO) is extremely pleased to have completed its first quarter in business. Armed with a unique proposition for the Nexal market, we have gone from strength to strength over our first operating quarter, delivering much-needed banking and shopping services to the Nexus at large.

PARTNERSHIPS

PIMCO's success has been realised in part through a number of successful strategic partnerships:

• Helix Inc. - An established mercenary band throughout the Nexus, well known as problem-solvers - and strong early partners of PIMCO.
• Reliable Excavation Demolition - A newer mercenary band and strong adopter of BKM as a currency for Nexal transactions, whose services are always welcome.
• The Commission (defunct) - An early shop faction partner of PIMCO, which has now pivoted to other services.
• The Nexus Party Fund - Beginning with the Bachelor Auction, PIMCO has partnered with the Nexal community at large to fund all manner of events!

PIMCO is also proud to maintain organisational accounts for the likes of the Unaligned Movement, Pirates of R'lyeh, Interplanar Brigades, the Nexal Crusaders, and Infopocalypse.

THE NUMBERS

Some highlights of PIMCO's first quarter activities:

Almost 13,000 BKM held in current deposits!

Approximately 15,000 BKM in total transaction value over the past quarter!

PIMCO JANUARY 2023 PRELIMINARY REPORT

PIMCO's liquidity remains extremely strong overall, with reserves well in excess of internal requirements. These have been buoyed by 3,220 BKM in Book Deposits in January alone. Since our Q4 2022 report our total deposits have jumped from just shy of 13,000 BKM, to just shy of 22,000 BKM.

This represents an approximate 69% increase, a strong indicator of performance and trust in the PIMCO model. As we have grown more established, performance suggests that consumer confidence has climbed sharply. Book withdrawals continue to decline dramatically, shrinking to approximately 1% of our January sales - it appears that BKM in the bank is increasingly considered more valuable than a book in hand.

Purchases from the wider Nexal economy have remained a crucial part of our business, with 4,341 BKM spent on purchases so far this year. Estimates suggest that the bulk of this has been spellgems sold from across the market, as well as consumables/grindables.

Sales performance is likewise strong, seeing a significant uptick in the beginning of the year to 1,940.5 BKM. Trends at the start of the month leaned towards enchantments of all types, while the latter half of the month saw large batch potion orders surge to the top. Bespoke spellgem requests remain a steady business stream.

We now estimate that more than 1/3rd of Nexals either have access to either an individual account or an organisational account.
