2018 AGM Star Combo Pharma Limited Chairman’s Address
2018 was a transformational year for Star Combo and we achieved a great deal.
At the beginning of calendar year 2018 we embarked upon the IPO for the company. This was a process designed to raise funds to set the company up with the resources to grow our branded products, to expand our factory utilisation, and to open new sales channels. It was also aimed at providing us with the financial means to look at strategically aligned business acquisitions, which I will talk about more in a few minutes. The IPO was a tremendous success and we are very grateful for the support that the investing community has given us prior to and subsequent to listing in May this year. For that I thank you.
Since the completion of the IPO we have set out to build a team that will deliver on the responsibilities that we have to all our shareholders to grow the revenues of the business and build an appropriate infrastructure that will support and enable continuing growth. We are pleased with the team we have assembled so far and recognise that this will be a continuing requirement as we take on new projects and development activities.
Su, our CEO will talk to more about these activities in her presentation.
Our operating result for FY 2018 was largely in accordance with our expectations, recognising the significant restructuring and costs that were necessary to set the company up for future success. The main points to be highlighted from the operating results are:
-
the record sales which were 11% up on FY 2017,
-
the record marketing spend of just over $1.4million associated with the Living Healthy brand investment which we anticipate will deliver good results in the second half of this financial year and going forward,
-
the non-recurring expenses relating to the IPO,
-
the share payments to our valuable staff to recognise their contributions in getting the company to where it is today and the continuing role that they will play in our future development,
-
the profitability for FY 2018 of $2.2million compares on a like for like basis with $2.3million in FY 2017.

Looking forward, as you know we announced on 8 August 2018, the signing of a Heads of Agreement to acquire the Ausway Group of companies.
We have very nearly completed our due diligence in relation to this acquisition and expect to be able to advise of our decision in relation to this acquisition within the next month.
We have also initiated investigations into the possible acquisition / joint venture of other companies and whilst we continue our interest, no other discussions are sufficiently advanced that we are able to advise shareholders at this point.
The outlook for FY2019 remains positive with expected growing revenues from our current base business as well as additional revenues and positive cashflow from potential acquisitions. Our resources continue to be carefully managed to ensure the appropriate balance between good governance and profitability.
Finally, I would like to thank our dedicated staff who continue to support and enable our activities and growth strategies. FY18 has been a transformational year for our company and I am excited at the prospects for our long term success.
Thank you, I will now hand over to Su Zhang our CEO to provide you with more insight into the performance of our business.
