(Formerly known as Stemcell United Limited)
ACN 009 104 330

deliver Traditional Chinese Medicine-based health outcomes. It focuses on the research & development,
production and commercialisation of traditional medicine products, including birds nests, seaweeds and sea plants
and hemp to produce sustainable plant-based protein foods and nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients

Review of Operations
After a period of suspension from trading which began on 27 September 2021, the Company recommenced
trading on 30 March 2023.
Prior to the recommencement of trading, the Company took the initial steps to restructure its operations when it
sought and obtained shareholder approval for the disposal of its subsidiary Shenzhen Lantene Dingzhi
Biotechnology Co Ltd (“Lantene”). Since trading in the securities of BP8 re-commenced on 30 March 2023, BP8 has
undertaken an extensive review and restructure, including:
• the restructure of the Board with Paul Stephenson appointed as Chairman, Matthew Leonard joining the
Board as an executive Director, Frank Cannavo transitioning to executive Director and Michael (Yanhua) Huang
re-joining the Board to drive the Company’s China based business activities;
• the appointment of a new management team lead by Matthew Leonard and Frank Cannavo;
• the conduct of a rigorous assessment of the Company’s business operations, employees’ competencies,
organisational culture, and financial position; and
• the implementation of a variety of cost-saving measures, including a reduction in Director fees, contractors
and excess headcount; cancellation of engagement agreements with certain advisors to the Company; and
closure of the Company’s premises at Defu Lane, Singapore.
The savings realised through these efforts are reinvested in key operational areas of the Company’s business. This
focused approach to cost reduction and strategic capital utilisation has and will yield tangible results, and
Company anticipates continued progress in this area.
Operational decisions as outcomes of this review process include;
• business development focus on strengthening the collaboration with the Company’s joint venture partners in
China to conduct sales of raw bird’s nests and birds’ nest products in China via China Tobacco in the
Guangzhou region, and social media influencers on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok;
• execution of a joint venture R&D agreement with Chemokine Yuesheng for the development of new products
including birds’ nest extract tablets infused with Australian honey;
• appointment of Gaia Mariculture Pte Ltd to manage the Company’s research and development facility at the
Singapore Marine Aquaculture Centre on St John’s Island; and
• continued its R&D work at the St John’s Island facility to further develop BP8’s biotechnologies, including R&D
into seaweed-based topical and ingestible products for TCM based health outcomes and for seeding and
cultivation of seaweeds in Australian conditions.
The Group recorded a revenue from continuing operations of $339 (FY2022: $494,005) and a net loss of
$4,046,728 (FY2022: net loss $4,564,525) from continuing operations. The loss of revenue is due to discontinued
4

(Formerly known as Stemcell United Limited)

operation from disposal of subsidiary Lantene, while the increase of losses is mainly from the impairment of
Intellectual Properties of $1,010,559 and decrease of $420,000 in the fair value of the investment.
At year end, the Group has a cash balance of $510,217 (FY2022: $624,962).
During the 2023 financial year, the Company raised approximately $1.5 million of cash (after costs) via placements
in September 2022 and March 2023, and post balance date, approximately $800,000 commitments was received
for shares and via convertible notes placement.
Significant changes in state of affairs
The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during 2023 financial year and subsequently:
•
Reactivation of the China-based birds’ nest business: Following on from the re-appointment of Michael
Huang as a Director of the Company, the executive Directors have been working with Michael in China on
reactivating and expanding the Company’s birds’ nest business in China. This initiative builds on the pilot
program which successfully trialled supply and distribution channels for the sale of bird’s nest products via
China Tobacco’s outlets in Guangzhou and via social media influencers on Douyin, most recently from
December 2022 to February 2023 (“Pilot Study”).
Most recently, the executive Directors worked with Michael Huang during a visit to China in July to consolidate
the Company’s plans for growing its sales and distribution footprint for birds’ nest products in China. The
executive Directors together with Michael Huang also met with their Pilot Study joint venture partners.
The Company has entered a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Foshan Gedishi Biotechnology Co Ltd, the
company which operates the Pilot Study with the joint venture partners. Post-acquisition, the Company will
provide for the ongoing operation and expansion of their joint venture operations pursuant to the two (2)
China Tobacco sales and distribution contracts and the trademarks that were used in the Pilot Study.
On completion of this agreement, the Company will be seeking to leverage its relationship with China Tobacco
to rapidly expand its China-based birds’ nest sales and distribution activities beyond the Guangzhou region.
The Company will continue to develop its options for the purchase of raw birds’ nests and birds’ nest products
from Malaysian suppliers for on-sale in China and elsewhere.
Other potential supply arrangements include leveraging the Company’s own stem cell technologies or
partnering with another Singapore based technology company to infuse nutraceuticals extracted from birds’
nests into food products for sale in the Chinese market. The Company has already begun to realise this
potential by its execution of a joint venture R&D agreement with Chemokine Yuesheng for the development of
new products including birds’ nest extract tablets infused with Australian honey.
•
Reactivation of other China related activities: The re-opening of China’s economy following the end of Covid19 lockdowns and restrictions, provides a strong opportunity for BP8 to re-activate its sales channels and
distribute its Dendrobium and Resina products throughout China its Hemp related joint ventures. Michael
Huang will direct the Company’s expansion of these activities in China.
•
Seaweed ventures – Singapore activities: BP8 has developed cultivation methods and nutraceutical extraction
technologies to extract proteins, polysaccharides and bioactive ingredients from seaweed for infusion into
topical creams and foods for TCM – based health outcomes. The Company has appointed Gaia Mariculture Pte
Ltd (Gaia) to manage the Company’s research and development facility at the Singapore Marine Aquaculture
Centre on St John’s Island. In particular, Gaia will focus its research on the commercial cultivation and
harvesting of seaweed in Australia.
•
Intellectual Property and Assets: The Company owns various proprietary biotechnology, including macroalgae
seed bank, macroalgae proprietary precision cultivation system and key downstream extraction technologies.
The Company is constantly seeking opportunities to create operational opportunities to commercialise its
intellectual property.

Remuneration Report (Audited)
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and key management personnel of BPH
Global Limited.
Principles of compensation
The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors
and senior executives. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such
officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of
ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.
Remuneration of Directors and executives is referred to as compensation as defined in AASB 124.
Compensation levels for key management personnel of the Group are competitively set to attract and retain
appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and executives.
The compensation structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the
achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The
compensation structures take into account:
· the capability and experience of the key management personnel;
· the key management personnel’s ability to control the relevant segments’ performance;
· the Group’s performance including:
o the Group’s earnings;
o the growth in share price and delivering constant returns on shareholder wealth; and
o The amount of incentives within each key management person’s compensation.
Compensation packages include a mix of fixed and variable compensation and short- and long-term performancebased incentives.
In addition to their salaries, the Group also provides non-cash benefits to its key management personnel, and
contributes to post-employment superannuation plans on their behalf.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed compensation consists of base compensation (which is calculated on a total cost basis), as well as employer
contributions to superannuation funds.
Compensation levels are reviewed annually through a process that considers individual, segment and overall
performance of the Group.
Performance-linked remuneration
Performance-linked compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward
key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The short-term
incentive (STI) is an “at risk” bonus provided in the form of cash, while the long-term incentive (LTI) is provided as
options over ordinary shares of the Group under the rules of the Employee Share Option Plan.
Long-term incentive
Options may be issued under the Employee Share Option Plan and it provides for key management personnel to
receive options over ordinary shares for no consideration.
The ability to exercise the options may be conditional on the Group achieving certain performance hurdles. The
performance hurdles comprise the Group reaching and exceeding its budgeted profit forecast.

BPH Global Limited
(Formerly known as Stemcell United Limited)
ACN 009 104 330

The financial performance objectives are “sales increase percentage”, “profit after tax” and “return on capital
employed” compared to budgeted amounts. The non-financial objectives vary with position and responsibility and
include measures such as achieving strategic outcomes, customer satisfaction and staff development.

*Each Director other than the Managing Director, must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual
general meeting of the Company following the Director's appointment or three years following that Director's last
election or appointment (whichever is the longer). However, a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an
addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the
Company. At each annual general meeting a minimum of one Director or one third of the total number of Directors
must resign. A Director who retires at an annual general meeting is eligible for re-election at that meeting.
