Pleased to see my friend from Tweed Heads join us.He is a bit of a trend setter,by buying at 32.5 cents.Told him that will look cheap in 18 months time.? [if not another friend lost].lol.

PS.With the NZ dollar weakening,the exchange rate will be great news for PAZ.

Yes ha ha.!!..lol.
My largest holding [by far] too.
I sold out of NPH and SKL to add to our cash holding, because of the uncertainty The Corona Virus is causing,so am delighted to see PAZ hitting new highs.[And some what surprised as there has been no news since August].

Well last May when PAZ's agm was held, the sp was 13 cents,so has gone up 157.7% since then.
The question I ask my self is; will it go up another 157.7% from this May to next May, or will we have to settle for the modest 75%.we have had to settle for since last August?
Then I ask myself how many PAZ would I buy should I win the PowerBall $50mil tonight,keeping in mind it looks like the big seller has few, if any, left to sell.?
What would I pay.?
Maybe I am asking myself to many questions,.?.........lol.

Well one question answered.I did not win the PowerBall.!!

Liquidity has finally become an issue.
Should,heavens forbid, the result be a shocker, we will find the exit doors shut,where upon our thoughts will turn back to that wonderful share market definition of a long term holding.
A short term one that did not work out....lol.
However. I am forever hopeful of a great result, and look forward to the share price passing through 35 cents on its way to 40 cents..

Such a good definition.

I'm not so hopeful of capital gains in the short term myself - these are more caused by money supply and equity demand , but no matter... am confident of management.

Yes.
Really pleasing seeing revenue is higher than forecast.
I think making their pre tax forecast must have been a challenge,as I expect "gearing up" would have added a great deal to overheads.
OK the annual report should make good reading,yet the agm presentation and outlook are what I am looking forward to.
For a still small company with so much going on, I think they were very brave with their forecasts, and achieving them is a great credit to them.
The strong financial result,together with the growing momentum,makes for a very exciting future.
I will not guess this coming year's growth rate ,other than to say I expect it will be well over 40%.

Well all my note taking last year was a waste of time, as they posted their fantastic presentation on usx.co.nz very quickly.l

I sent Craig an email this morning thanking him for posting their announcement and said I thought it was excellent.

From last year's annual report;Directors' report.

"While the company continues to see itself as an ingredient supplier,it has become more and more apparent that product traceability and provenance for ingredient suppliers is a challenge in some markets.
Provenance being -knowing not only who you purchased your product from,but who manufactured it.Where it was manufacturerd and grown,along with traceability are critical drivers of the global food and supplement industry.
We therefore foresee a significant opportunity for a 100% NZ made and NZ sourced product range.
The current growth momentum makes for exciting times as there is no shortage of opportunities to pursue."

I will be looking forward to the outlook statement in this year's annual report,due out on the 24th.

RupertBear.May pay to wait for the outlook statement, before deciding whether to add to your holding or not.Not long to wait.

Agree Percy. As I've stated on another thread, we in the fishing industry are seeing a significant increase in demand for seafood that has not been caught or processed in China or SE Asia. There is no question that one of the potentially lasting results of this very sad Coronavirus will be consumers being much more aware of where their food comes from and how it has been handled, before they buy it.

Not blaming you, just shows amateur hour. Company does a filing with the Companies Office including all shareholders and their personally identifiable information. Companies Office publish it. Go figure, to them it's just a company filing.

I'm pi$$ed off, I might be on that list and these munters submit my personal details and contact information to the Companies Office, and the Companies Office just publish it without question. WTF!

Would never happen with a public properly listed company. Best you can see as non-shareholder is the top 10. Holders can request from the company secretary a shareholders list. Even that doesn't contain identifiable information, except a name. Smart names hide behind a broker or holding company.

Who wants some schmuck to be emailing or mailing them some BS about the company just because some clerk was dumb enough to publish their identifiable information to the Companies Office d1ck_heads who publish it to the open internet.

I think by law companies must provide a list of directors and shareholders.
Companies listed or unlisted, use either Computer Share or Link Market Services to look after their share registry.
It is the registries that provide the lists of shareholders to The Companies Office.
At any AGM you attend,you are entitled to ask the share registry, to see the shareholders' register.In fact any company you are a shareholder,must let you look at it,if you go to their registered office.
For fun check out some of the trusts,companies that hold shares in either Skyline or Paz. Easy as .Go to the companies office website, and type in the name[ of the trust,and away you go.

I sense a letter to the Privacy Commissioner is already on its way .

I am the Privacy Commissioner. Ok, not really the PC, but I do know a lot about it having worked in identity management for some very large high profile organisations (amongst other sins).

One doesn't have to be privacy expert to see this is a blatant invasion of shareholder privacy disclosing personally identifiable information. Someone trying to brush it off by saying shareholders can obtain share registers is nonsense, no share register obtainable through normal channels contains any identifiable information like address and contact email.

Big drop of the ball here. 577 shareholders exposed to some greater or lesser degree. Maybe one in the top 15 doesn't care too much about people knowing their name, address, email. Possibly a lot of others do or would care. Can't just brush this aside, it's an amateur hour error and should be tidied up pronto with an apology to the shareholders.

I think by law companies must provide a list of directors and shareholders.
Companies listed or unlisted, use either Computer Share or Link Market Services to look after their share registry.
It is the registries that provide the lists of shareholders to The Companies Office.
At any AGM you attend,you are entitled to ask the share registry, to see the shareholders' register.In fact any company you are a shareholder,must let you look at it,if you go to their registered office.
For fun check out some of the trusts,companies that hold shares in either Skyline or Paz. Easy as .Go to the companies office website, and type in the name[ of the trust,and away you go.

Any complaints should be taken up with The New Zealand Companies Office [a Govt dept], as this is "public information" obtained from their website.

Margaret Firth as an Pharmazen authorised person attached that Extensive Shareholder List.

Pharmazen have erred, not Companies Office or Link.

The list from Link that was posted and then deleted was in proper format. Full names and addresses are a requirement.

Margaret did OK but erred badly by not stripping out surplus info like email addresses. Here’s what needed -

Extensive shareholding
If your company has extensive shareholdings, you need to create and upload a separate document listing details of all share allocations and shareholders. This document should also be held as a record on your own share registry. It must include the full legal name and residential address of each shareholder.

"The only beef people could have is the email address - though the companies act doesn't define "address" so arguably could be street or email.

Residential addresses in a prescribed format is a requirement. All public info. The Link list you posted seemed pretty proper ...Margarets spreadsheet is a bit of a mess

Margaret at Pharmazen should have been more careful with what she submitted ...like stripping out the non required stuff like email addresses.

I take it Margaret acts as Company Secretary or something.

Residential addresses in a required format is a requirement. All public info. You can see why many use companies / custodial services / trusts and live c/o lawyers and accountants to keep things ‘secret’. Mind you if you form a company you need a full residential address for Shareholders and Directors.

Margaret at Pharmazen should have been more careful with what she submitted ...like stripping out the non required stuff like email addresses.

Yes it is easy to see why people use custodial services,lawyers and accountants.However searching The Companies Office, you can find trusts and a lot of information.
Two of my friends, who are PAZ shareholders, found they were not on the list,so some good has come from posting the list.
It looks as though the only beef people can have is the including of email addresses,and that is not 100% clear ,[from what my "little birdie" said.my post #574].
Therefore the Skyline Enterprises list was acceptable.
Margaret at PAZ will get it right,whatever that is.

I have no problem with full information being shown. Not to derail a thread but recent experience with the Arbor group of forestry companies shows that it is almost impossible to get a list of shareholders from such a company, the trustee company involved, or even through approaches via govt regulatory bodies. Where incompetence or fraud is suspected it is incredibly difficult to get together a group of shareholders to demand answers from management &/or directors, plan concerted action for an AGM, or put together a class action

With the selling in the last few weeks on the NZX, PAZ has now become my largest shareholding on the NZ market, by quite a margin. So not sure it would be wise for me to add much more. But I'm sure couta1 will tell me off for holding that view :-)

It will be interesting to see the outlook when we get it even through clearly it is difficult for any company to accurately forecast anything right now. But the huge and ongoing drop in the NZD/USD rate is very good for PAZ

Thought it might be an idea to revisit the numbers and crunch them again this morning.
August 2019 they forecast $3.9m before tax profit on $16.3m sales = after tax profit of $2.81m assuming full company tax rate of 28% which on 218.8m shares gives eps of 1.284 cps.
They confirmed earlier this month they had met this forecast net profit and importantly, (exceeded the sales) for the year.

The exceeded the sales is very important because its a clue to higher profits going forward, most especially, (and lets not forget this), because new brands were introduced mid way and very late in the 2019 year respectively) and we will get the full 12 month effect of those new brand sales in 2020, (and now at much more advantageous exchange rates). When you factor that in with the fact that sales beat forecast for the second half of 2019 the prospects ahead look very good.

Historic PE is now 21/1.284 = only 16.4 (I was very surprised it was this low so double checked my numbers), against a market that even with the strong correction of late probably has a historic market PE in the very late 20's. This metric is not much more than half the market but for a company growing very strongly indeed.

By my calculations eps will slightly more than double when announced on Tuesday and is set to grow strongly in 2020. Critical mass has also now been achieved for a main board listing at some stage in the future in my opinion.

So we now know they have exceeded both NPBT and revenue. NPBT confirmed of 4.014m (up 124%) and revenue of 17.317m (up 38%). This has also exceeded their August19 forecast and confirmed/bettered the confirmation earlier this month of meeting profit forecast on sales exceeding that forecast. Nice to see them do as they say eh Percy !!
This is a very good and encouraging result and the future shaping up to be great with good underlying sales and profit and new product range fully in the market. The Chairman then adds "we would expect demand to increase even further as people become more concerned
about health issues with the Covid-19 pandemic."

PharmaZen Limited – COVID 19 Update
The announcement March 23, 2020 that the country is transitioning to a Level 4 Alert will mean that the company will need to close operations for the period of time designated.
It is clearly a significant disruption for the business and our customers however we fully understand and support the government’s response to what is a significant and unprecedented event.
As an employer the health and welfare of our staff is always our priority and in this instance the responsibility extends to the wider community.
We are fortunate to be in an exceptionally strong position after the record 2019 result which has been followed by our strongest first quarter.
As a provider of nutritional supplement ingredients, we tend to see demand increase significantly in the event of economic downturns and of course health scares. The current situation is no different and while it is frustrating to lose some momentum, the products we provide are unique and there will be significant pent up demand upon re-opening.
It is for this reason we do not envisage layoffs as we seek to retain our highly trained work force and intend to continue with the planned capital expansion – albeit somewhat delayed.
We will continue to keep shareholders updated as information available

The article has a link back to the original purchase of Enzaq, and the key of green-lipped mussels is supply - that is why the owners sold to Sanford. Sanford obviously have capital and expanded the Enzaq business already.

There are other companies like Aroma doing (freeze-dried) mussel powder and other marine products. They have their own raw material supply.

Given the situation in the Sounds, and basically no expansion of mussel farming, then supply seems to be the key for that particular product.

They have never had an issue with mussels.I think there was a shortage a couple of years ago.I spoke to PAZ's CEO at the time,and he told me they were sourcing all they required ,no problem.
Not an issue but while they had their existing extraction plant tied up doing marine oil,and were waiting to get their second plant up and running, they had to freeze blackcurrants,until the plant was ready.
Extraction produced products are very high margin for them.
Basically all the new plant takes them from being commodity producer up to; GMP[good manufacturing practice] certification-Approved to manufacture an " Active pharmaceutical ingredient" under ""Licence to manufacture medicines"" authorised by Medsafe [New Zealand medicines and medical devices safety authority."
So gone from commodity to pharmaceutical,from the lowest to the highest.All the way up the chain the margins increase dramactically.

So gone from commodity to pharmaceutical,from the lowest to the highest.All the way up the chain the margins increase dramactically.

The fun continues.
"Accordingly, we will continue with the next phase of our capital
expansion program which will see up to $8 million invested
in key projects over the next year to provide additional
capacity and bring new products to market. They will be
funded from a combination of operating cash flow and bank
debt.
Once fully operational, these projects are expected to provide
a strong return on investment and positive ongoing margin
contributions."
Another huge freeze drier included..
"PharmaZen is now firmly established on a cash-positive
growth path, with increasing demand being well supported
by efficient, quality manufacturing. This momentum places
the Company in an excellent position to look further ahead
and capture future growth opportunities as they arise. We are
moving forward with considerable optimism."

Bean counters are notorious for concentrating on cash flow, (and with good reason as this is the lifeblood of any business).
A real highlight for me on my first real quick skim read this morning (of the many encouraging aspects of the growth of this company) is the near tripling of cash flow ! This augers extremely well for the future.

I am favourably inclined to add more. Historic PE at 26 cents is 19.8 and this company is growing at a cracking pace, this year assisted by tailwinds from the currency and a full year sales effect of the recently launched Aiora range. Things will really be humming when they launch their new brand "5th quarter" which is quite an interesting brand name.

Bid 28, no stock on offer, again. Lack of liquidity is kind of annoying as I watch the volume that BlIS trade in every day, that have a lower EBITDA.

Here's a real conversation starter that I have been keeping to myself for a couple of weeks. I compared the EBITDA multiple of BLIS with PAZ, noting PAZ is growing both their top line sales and EDITDA faster that BLIS and if PAZ were trading on the same EBITDA multiple as Blis, (this comparison was done when Blis were 8 cents) fair value for PAZ if listed on the main board would be...wait for it and this is definitely not a typo, $1.35 !!

Now Blis is 9.4 cents fair value for PAZ is $1.59 on a comparative basis. Right after I did this comparative I hoovered up the 50,000 at 30 cents that went through a while back. Anyone like to put some more up at 30 cents for sale and see what happens ?

Its time for PAZ to list on the NZX. Shareholders deserve the vastly better liquidity and to see their shares valued more appropriately. I hope the Directors act on this sooner rather than later.

I did not post between 19-01-2017 and 12-09-2017 as I was steadily buying.
Being such and illiquid stock, it has taken me years to reach the number I wanted.
When I reached that number, I decided to double my holding.!!
This has now been achieved, and the number the wife and I hold, means we are either "buggered" ,or "well positioned."
With my history of being "well positioned", I am sure this is the case with PAZ..

Listing would cost a great deal.Today I looked at a small Aussie listed company ,which disclosed the following costs.[Note Aussie dollars.]
Listing compliance, and corporate costs.$1,022,000
Expenses of the offer..............................$859,000.
Total Aussie dollars.............................$1,881,000
Now I do not know what on going listing costs would be, but lets say $1mil a year.

PAZ will be spending $8mil on further expansion this year including another huge freeze drier.The last freeze drier was installed under 2 years ago, and was the biggest in Australasia.
This $8mil is being funded from retained earnings and increased bank debt.So paying out nearly $2mil to list does not seem likely.
So at this stage they do not require further capital,so no need for a NZX listing/capital raise..
The other thing we must remember is the directors and large shareholders will not want to see their holdings diluted until they see the market fully valuing the company.
Perhaps once this latest $8mil of capital is fully generating revenue , we may ourselves be able to come up with a more realistic value.
They are not spending $8mil to generate $2mil of sales.
The agm outlook projections are going to be rather interesting/exciting,and I am sure it will make the buyer today, at 34 cents, look very astute..

Itīs the same with Shareight, SP on USX instruments do not update automatically. I have been communicating with Sharesight about this and to be honest, I think this issue is too small for them to worry about. Iīve suggested to both them and DB that they go through at the end of each month and update prices on the USX. DB did so once after I talked to them and raised it on their website from 15c to 28c where it has been ever since, but at least that is close to the current price. Some other of my holdings on the USX show a DB price far away from current SP. A bit annoying but apparently USX does not have the technology for them to automatically update the prices like NZX.

Clearly we live in strange times and it is impossible to forecast anything right now. But I am expecting a good forward looking statement on Monday with much of the new capacity on line now and I'm hopeful we will not see SP in it the twenties (cents that is) again. Time will tell.

A year ago just before PAZ's agm the share price was 13 cents.
A month later after the exciting agm presentation the share price was up over 50% to 20 cents.
Their September upgrade saw the share price rise a further 25% to 25 cents.
AGM is next Monday.
I rather think PAZ's agm outlook statement will see the share price into the forties.
The big seller we have taken advantage of over the past year, appears to have gone.

It is a rare company that is not being materially affected by Covid 19. I hope PAZ is such a company but after very careful thought I am not prepared to gamble 40 cents a share to lift my stake "on the blind". That's a historical PE of 30 and I've never been a dog that likes paying 30 times earnings before so won't change my colours now.
More information is required so we can work out the forward PE before 40 cents is justified in my opinion. Looking forward to Monday.

I agree with you Percy that I think it’ll be a great meeting with more good news but a little caution never hurt and my purchases have been at good prices. I don’t have a problem paying a P/e of 30 as have done so very happily for A2 in the past but will depend how the numbers look :)

Excellent presentation.
They sound very enthusiastic about the pet treats and supplements opportunity. So many opportunities for growth.
Well worth noting that last year at the annual meeting they forecast net profit before tax of $2.8m. They delivered just over $4m, 43% more than forecast.
This suggests they are very conservative with their forecasting.
As Percy says they have a track record of doing what they say they will do.
So many new products they can bring to market in the next year...the prospects for long term growth look really outstanding.
It is so refreshing to see a company growing strongly even taking into account the effects of Covid 19.

I took some very deep breaths and thought long and hard about the long term growth prospects over the weekend and took the appropriate action this morning before someone else did. Its getting much harder to get shares in this company. If you want a bigger stake in this high growth company the days of getting it on the cheap are probably over in my opinion. I think at 40 cents the forward PE is somewhere in the low 20's and I think that's perfectly reasonable for such a high growth company as this. Investing today at 40 cents I am thinking about FY21 and beyond.

What a great result. They have managed with the obviously committed staff, to operate at a reasonable level and have maintained a profitable operation despite these difficult times. I do like how they state that they undertook to continue paying staff whether they couild turn up to work or not. Says a lot about the Board and Management and I like it.

Not only do we have new products and markets but lots of new machinery and to top it all of, a new extraction factory no less. As whatsup stated earlier, the August report will be the one to watch but I have little doubt SP is now firmly established in the 40s (at least).
Iīm expecting them to call us for some cash to help fund the growth, which I would be very happy about and wouldnīt need to think about too long, assuming they do so on reasonable terms.

Iīm a very happy holder of this company which is in the right industry and the right country to take huge advantage of the change of lifestyles we will no doubt see around the World past COVID. Upwards and onwards.

I think even Percy might have been very pleasnatly surprised by the number of different product growth opportunities articulated yesterday, I know I certainly am !

Listening to the presentation its clear that the record $8m capex planned for the year ahead only covers the deposit on the new factory but they have cunningly got the vendor to agree to deferred settlement terms at some future date, (presumably contemporaneously with title issuance for the site).

How much is required to get the new factory built, equipped and up and running isn't clear but what is clear is their bank are supportive and with the abundance of growth opportunities presenting, I am sure shareholders would also be supportive with a capital raise (I presume sometime in 2021).

Whether a potential capital raise may be done in tandem with a NZX listing is an interesting question to ponder...

I agree Iceman...anything under 40 cents now would be an absolute gift. The question in my mind is with all the growth so apparent will anyone be prepared to sell shares in decent volume anywhere in the 40's ?

I would like to think someone would but am not especially hopeful...

I certainly was very surprised by the number of different product growth opportunities.All seem to be a very advance stage.All very exciting
Capital.Looks to me PAZ will need more capital,later this year or early next year.I think they would like a major supplier to take a placement,and that would also secure supply .Then raising capital from shareholders/public would be best done by a NZX listing.
Whatever happens the future outlook just gets more and more positive.
The right company,in the right country,in the right sector,with the right directors/management to take advantage of the large number of opportunities available.
Shares.We saw a major shareholder sell down or out over the past year.No major shareholder appears to want to sell any shares.
Yet I expect there are a large number of original shareholders, who have forgotten they own PAZ shares or even know how to look at The Unlisted market.
A NZX listing would awaken them.

I believe you will come to deeply regret that over the years ahead mate. You should have PM'd me, I would have paid you 42 cents and saved you the brokerage.

Percy, why would they do a placement with one of their suppliers ? If they're going to raise capital I would strongly prefer a renounceable rights issue so its the existing shareholders that have the right to add to their investment. Either that or a listing on the NZX raising fresh capital again with first right of refusal to existing shareholders.

iceman
26-05-2020, 04:35 PM
Good question about the suggestion of a placement to a supplier Beagle. If that will indeed happen, the most obvious reason would be to strengthen relationship to secure supply. Maybe they feel this is prudent with all the CAPEX ?

Beagle
26-05-2020, 05:29 PM
1:3 at 35 cents would raise ~ $25m and something I would certainly support but directors and their family interests who between them, (help me out here Percy), own something like 90m shares might not have the 30m @ 35 cents = $10.5m cash to invest.

With such a substantial range of expansion and growth opportunities I think perhaps its time after next year's annual result in April that the directors looked at an NZX float to raise enough capital to really supercharge this company's growth even more !

percy
26-05-2020, 08:00 PM
Possible Capital raise. A total guess. Raise about $17mil to $19mil.
Placement of 10 or 12 mil shares at 50 cents...................................$5mil to $6
one for ten rights issue at 50 cents. 21.8mil shares................$10.9mil..plus extras taken up $13mil
The rights issue would have to have the option for applying for extra shares as there would be a large number of the original shareholders,who they either will not be able to contact,or who will not want to take up their rights.
Should they stay on unlisted I doubt shareholders will be able to sell their rights.i
Last rights issue they had problems.I had to get Craigs to sign a form that Lorraine and I knew what we were doing.
Forbar would not do it for their clients.As most PAZ shareholders, at the time lived in Dunedin, that caused PAZ no end of trouble.
Timetable.Late this year or early next year.Another guess just after they announce their 31st December 2020 result.around late March 2021.So agree with Beagle April 2021.

from what I have heard in the past securing sufficient ingrediant supply has been one of their challenges. The cow adrenals that form some of their very popular products are not easy to source so I can see merit in having close relationships with suppliers.

What I should have mentioned is that these initiatives are being funded by the company's strong balance sheet and excellent cashflow,WITHOUT having to come to shareholders for further funds.I take this as very positive,means management are looking to make profits to fund growth.Most small company's think the only way they can grow is to fund growth with more money from shareholders.This dilutes your shares,and takes management's mind off making real profits.So well done PAZ.

My second post on this thread.My third post on 23-04-2011 I stated I brought 80,000 PAZ at 3.5 cents.
Reflecting back on the years,I think I kept doing the right things.ie.
1] Buy a few shares to get to know the business.
2] Make sure the balance sheet is strong,mainly cashflow positive, and current assets far exceed current liabilities.
3]Watch the company to see if they do as they say they will do.
Then I just kept adding to my/our holding on each positive announcement.
A good lesson to me that we all know;And KW always told us:Sell your losers and add to your winners.That usually means buying your winners at higher and higher prices.
Our last purchase of PAZ was 50,000 at 25 cents, for the wife, on 15th April.At lot higher than the original 3.5 cents I paid.So added to our big winner,and have sold other shares in other companies over the years,some at a profit and a few at a loss.Whenever the story, or the reason you brought a share changes,SELL.
Thank you to all of you who have thanked me, and joined the fun.I guess we are all "well positioned."..lol.
I think most Sharetraders will realise our PAZ holding far exceeds what I expected our total share portfolio would be.

From USX newsletter.

Healthy Future: A Pharmazen Story

Given the journey that global markets have gone through over recent months, it is heartening to see those special securities that have remained strong over this time. PharmaZen has been the most notable of these, smashing $100m market capitalisation to become one of the top performing companies listed on the USX. However this spectacular achievement has not been an overnight success.

Based in Christchurch, PharmaZen Ltd (trading as Waitaki Biosciences) is a biotech company focusing on the development, manufacture and B2B marketing of specialised nutritional ingredients. The company’s products targets, both the human and companion animal dietary supplement industries, with over 90% of product exported to foreign markets.

PAZ’s first trade on the USX was in February 2005, at a price of $0.04, and since then has traded below $0.10 for most of its history. That is, until recently.

In early 2018, USX facilitated for PharmaZen a capital raise of c. $4.1m to provide the funds required to accelerate the completion of several major expansion projects, including:
Installation of the largest batch freeze dryer in Australasia (increasing capacity by 75%)
Deployment of its specialised solvent extraction facility
Commissioning of an additional 1,000 sqm of production facilities
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification, ensuring approval to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients by Medsafe
Licensing and patents for further consumer ready products
High levels of demand for its products saw the company fully utilising its new production capacity, and revenue soared to $12.6m in 2018 from $7.3m the previous year. Additionally, PharmaZen strengthened its management team by bringing in a new COO and CTO, who further drove the future aspirations of the company.

In March this year, just as Covid-19 was dealing blows to global markets, PharmaZen released its 2019 financial report which only served to boost investor confidence further. The company increased its YOY revenue by 38%, and its EBITDA by 98%, demonstrating the continued global appetite for its products and the improving margin as staff had time to get used to the new plant.

Since then, PharmaZen has traded as high as $0.55, more than double its pre-lockdown price and 10x the price of its first trade. This rapid growth has seen the company surpass $100m market capitalisation, to become one of the top performing companies listed on the USX.

Percy, After the AGM I spoke to a senior manager who said after I asked about a C R and move to the NZX , his comment was not at this stage for both questions, next year, maybe, need more runs on the board.

7 August half year result and full year forecast can't come soon enough. Shares under pressure. https://www.usx.co.nz/uploads/paperclip/documents/2015/original/PharmaZen_AGM_2020_Presentation.pdf?1590377628

Not long now until 7th August.
In the meantime I see a lot of the third extraction plant's equipment is on site.
Earthworks have also commenced at the corner on Nuttrall Drive. Be interesting seeing what they build there.

Well with not a lot of buying support,and only three weeks until their 7th August announcement I put in an opportunist bid at 35 cents this morning.Woke someone up, who then topped me at 40 cents.Last sale price was 45 cents.Be interesting seeing what the next sale price will be.Even more interesting will be seeing whether the 7th August announcement will see the share price over 60 cents.?...lol.

Looking forward to the update. Remember folks, Rome wasn't built in a day even for fast growing companies like this one. I reckon the most important investment tool with this one is the patience to hold really long term.

Shares under pressure
It doesn't appear it was such a ridiculous move to bail at 0.42 - which is that famous mid-point now (between bid and offer).

I should have kept my eyes on the ball more to get back in again but grandkids for the last two weeks!
