Blis released their 6 month figures on November 12th 2009. That is 1 day short of 6 months ago. Not long now...
People might be interested in Sealegs announcing a maiden profit yesterday. http://www.nzx.com/markets/NZSX/SLG/...-Maiden-Profit
The share price went from 17 cents to 26 cents on the day, after announcing a profit of $642,000 (before share option costs, 406k after) on 79 million shares (according to the NZX page). So PE doesn't have to be a constraint at maiden profit time.
So, all up, plenty of room to believe BLT doesn't have to be trapped by the PE on a maiden profit. Which makes sense: instinct would tell you that if they announce a maiden profit and a lot of good news for the next result, then surely the share price should rise in proportion, and not get stuck in arcane maths at that point.
It's payday for preference shares today - hopefully for most of us therefore. 5 cents today per preference share. http://www.nzx.com/markets/NZSX/BLT/...-Year-Dividend
The dividend is 10 cents pa per $1 preference share, and every 45 ordinary shares owned last year was eligible to buy one $1 preference share. (http://www.blis.co.nz/userfiles/file...%20%20Loan.pdf) The ordinary shares were worth say 4 cents at the time, or $1.80 for 45. By putting in the $1, investors then had a $2.80 investment, with a 10 cent return, or 3.57% return on their entire BLT holding.
In that year, then, BLT shareholders who coughed up for the preference shares have had a 3.57% average dividend and a solid capital gain to boot. Not too bad. I think we forget that this company is already pumping out dividends to shareholders.
Corrections welcome, as always.
We missed this new product, in Australia. Another country using Blis for dietary supplements. It appeared on the net at the end of March.

And here's an ad for it in "The Senior NSW" Magazine: http://seniornsw.realviewtechnologie...ge=page0000055 Its's in both the March and April editions.
Nicely found Simla
GoogleAlerts let me down as I didn't receive anything for this product!
I have completed the form and look forward to receiving a sample, or info, or nothing...
Time for another product list update. Simla, I haven't made it fancy like you suggested. Unfortunately I am too busy of late. Feel free to take ownership of the list and tart it up as much as you fancy.

I was in Melbourne over the weekend and checked out one of the (very busy) chemist shops in the Elizabeth St; I asked whether they stocked Blis K12 products and got blank looks. I wonder how well known Blis is in Australia?
I'm pretty sure Blis is not sold in Australia under that name, Brucea, although you can buy it on the internet. K12 has been available via Breezecare for bad breath, but their site says, "KForce, Balance and Breeze Products are all manufactured and developed by Dr Speiser and BreezeCare Pty Ltd. These are not commercial products and therefore are not available through retail stores such as chemists or supermarkets. Due to the special nature of our treatments, our products are only available for purchase directly through our worldwide websites or our clinics." http://breezecare.com.au That's why I was pleased to see this new product in Australia.
Thanks for the update, Emearg.
I won't reformat the list, Emearg, as I think on reflection that that makes it less accessible for others. However, here is a copy of that list without all the links, and in vaguely alphabetic format instead, just in case that helps anyone.

This seems to be new in Taiwan as well:
http://www.probio.com.tw/big5/news_01.asp?SerialNo=157
http://store.pchome.com.tw/ec_store/M06099621.htm
Throat Guard now seems to be on sale. Previously I'm pretty sure I've only seen the Fresh Breath Kit there, and one says "Release Date: 2010/5/3".
This is being advertised as an oral probiotic, whereas the other was a fresh breath kit. Has there been some regulatory permission come through, perhaps? Or is this nothing more than adding a new product? Either way, it is market development, and that's good.
The 2009 rights issue documentation http://www.blis.co.nz/userfiles/file...l_13032009.pdf said, "A major food company in Taiwan had previously been in the initial stages of development of food and oral healthcare product applications for BLIS K12 but due to a change in the company’s priorities this did not result in the earlier anticipated release of new products in late 2008. However, the Company is now in the process of continuing with these and other projects through Frutarom."
And the 2009 report http://www.blis.co.nz/userfiles/file...ort%202009.pdf said, "While an earlier project in Taiwan has been delayed, additional projects have now commenced through Frutarom. Early progress in this market will be subject to regulatory approval."
So, does the appearance of Throat Guard represent a change in regulatory approval? Who knows. Always fun to wonder though. Perhaps the annual results will tell us something.
