InvestSMART Newsletter - 7th October 2003
Health/Biotech Float/IPO
After announcing our involvement with Montec International last week, we have had dozens of calls and hundreds of prospectuses downloaded/requested. As we mentioned last Thursday this float may be oversubscribed very quickly. With our clients rushing into this float we would expect it could reach minimum subscriptions some time this week.
We put up our hands up pretty quickly when offered the chance to distribute and promote this new biotech/health float. Why? Montec International is a health/biotech company with proven technology (it's been used for the past 10 years in the manufacturing of Farmers Best* milk in NSW) and has the potential of joint venturing with one of China's largest milk manufacturers.
Peter Switzer, today wrote in The Australian (page 21), "Forecasts have suggested that milk consumption in China between 2001 and 2015 would double to 18 billion litres a year", the article went on further to state "Montec secured agreements with the Ministry of Agriculture in China and the key distributors of milk in the major urban centres of Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao and others. Urban milk consumption accounts for 90 per cent of the total spend on milk in China".
The potential of Montec International Limited lies with its rights to the unique healthy dairy formula, the relationships that Montec has established with the Chinese Government along with dairy processors in certain countries in the Asia Pacific Region and the need for consumers to address cardiovascular disease.

BIOTECH COMPANY POSITIONED TO MOVE INTO CHINA
The potential of Montec International Limited lies with its rights to the unique healthy dairy formula, the relationships that Montec has established with the Chinese Government as well as dairy processors in certain countries in the Asia Pacific Region and the need for consumers to address cardiovascular disease.
AFI Management Pty Limited (AFI) currently owns the formula and patents for combining mono-unsaturated fats with dairy products. Montec has rights to commercialise the formula within the Asia Pacific Region (through and subject to the rights of licensees in some countries) and to acquire outright ownership of the formula within the Asia Pacific Region.
Clinical evidence demonstrates that consumption of mono-unsaturated fats reduce the risk of heart disease through the collection and carriage of fatty lipids out of the bloodstream. The patented Mono-Premix formula enables fat free skim milk to be combined with mono-unsaturated fat to produce dairy foods that are low in cholesterol, contain calcium and have a taste and consistency which is creamier than that of ordinary skim milk.
Since its commercialisation in 1992, the patented mono-unsaturated dairy formula has been used for over 10 years in New South Wales in the production of Farmers Best* milk by one of Australia's largest dairy processors, Australian Co-operative Foods Limited.
Montec presents an investment opportunity in a dynamic and expanding sector of international dairy food markets. Irrespective of economic pressures and global events, dairy products remain a daily purchasing decision in most households as they are regarded as important to sound bodily development and growth.

Exciting Opportunities
In or around December 2003, Montec plans to launch Montec's own brands in China via Qingdao Dairy General Corporation, which is a subsidiary of the New Hope Group, one of China's largest private companies. Montec has also received expressions of interest from other dominant dairy processors in China and holds a letter of intent from Beijing Sanyuan Foods, which has acquired substantial ownership of Kraft Foods in China, 50% of McDonalds Beijing and in 2001 held 90% share of the Beijing milk market.
Operations are scheduled to commence in New Zealand in March 2004 via contractual arrangements held with Monocorp NZ Limited. Montec also intends to exploit opportunities in Thailand and Taiwan and has held discussions to further these endeavours.
Montec plans to launch product extensions such as yoghurts and ice creams in target markets and to expand its markets to include non-grocery distribution channels, such as fast food chains, vending machines and pharmacies.
Management and Investors interests are aligned
In achieving its objectives, the Board is determined to maintain best practice corporate governance standards so as to develop a prosperous long-term relationship with Montec's stakeholders. In order to closely align the interests of the founder with public shareholders, all of the founder's Shares will be held in escrow for 24 months, two-thirds will be held in voluntary escrow for 36 months and one-third will be held in voluntary escrow for 48 months.

"stop being ripped off"
InvestSMART already rebates 100% of entry and exit fees on most managed funds in Australia. Our CashBack Program now goes one step further and effectively entitles Platinum Members to a cash amount per annum equivalent to 80% of the trailing commission paid to InvestSMART from participating fund managers as a result of a member's investment.
A Member's yearly CashBack is based on the value of managed fund investments they hold with participating fund managers during that year, with InvestSMART nominated as the Fund Dealer. This cash payment effectively reduces a Member's management fees on those managed funds by up to 30%. Funds invested and ultimately a Member's CashBack amount may change due to the performance of funds, ongoing contributions and/or redemptions.
It's easy to nominate InvestSMART as your fund dealer for your existing managed funds. You simply need to fill in the following one page form:- Fund Dealer Nomination Form. STOP PAYING UNNECESSARY FEES AND ACT TODAY!
