This was revealed by Alberto Hermoso, Jr., SQL* Wizard managing director, during the firms first annual stockholders meeting held since the company went public.
"For the time being P50 million capitalization is enough to ensure adequate funding for the projects currently in the pipeline," Hermoso said. "At present, the companys authorized capital stock of P20 million is fully subscribed and paid-up" Hermoso added.
For the first semester of 2002, the company posted a 29.3 perccent increase in revenues compared to the same period last year with significant increases of 51 percent in license sales and 30 percent in consulting.

SQL*Wizard was also tapped by the Insurance and Surety Association of the Philippines or ISAP to handle the insurance verification of all comprehensive third party liability insurance policies (CTPL) issued by insurance companies.
CTPL is prerequisite issued prior to every vehicle registration. This new process implemented by ISAP in collaboration with the LTO and the Insurance Commission has been proven effective in weeding out rogue operators that sell fake insurance policies resulting in revenue loss of almost P2 billion and costing the government about P600 million in taxes.
