EXPANSION<br />

TREK<br />

Annual Report 2000<br />

Through strategic acquisitions and alliances<br />

in the region and beyond, we plan to extend<br />

our reach to every country, establishing a<br />

strong presence globally as a leading brand<br />

that is recognised around the world. We<br />

aim to be a $1b company by 2008.<br />

“Health care and healthy lifestyle products<br />

are no longer seen as luxury goods but rather,<br />

a necessity as the society trends towards a<br />

more sophisticated and health conscious<br />

lifestyle. We are a local homegrown company<br />

with regional presence throughout Asia and<br />

a global potential.”


Annual Report 2000<br />

CEO’SMESSAGE<br />

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to<br />

present to you OSIM International Ltd’s maiden annual<br />

report for the financial year ended December 31,<br />

2000.<br />

Year 2000 has been a very significant year for us. The<br />

launch of our initial public offer on July 19, 2000,<br />

marked an important turning point in our vision towards<br />

becoming the leading global brand in the home health<br />

care and healthy lifestyle industry.<br />

Since starting out in 1980 under the sole proprietorship,<br />

R. Sim & Trading Co Pte Ltd, we have grown<br />

tremendously to become the most recognisable brand<br />

for home health care and healthy lifestyle products in<br />

our primary markets of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore,<br />

Malaysia and China.<br />

From the beginning, strategic marketing and strong<br />

brand management have been critical success factors<br />

in securing our foothold in the industry. Synonymous<br />

with the OSIM brand are high quality and excellent<br />

customer service, core values that have driven the<br />

Group’s profits since its inception and differentiated<br />

us significantly from our competitors.<br />

I am proud to report a 31% increase in the Group’s<br />

turnover from S$103.1 million in 1999 to S$135.6<br />

million for the financial year ended December 31,<br />

2000. In addition, profit before tax has also been<br />

elevated by 27% to S$13.8 million, when compared<br />

with that in 1999.<br />

10<br />

Annual Report 2000<br />

This new millennium has been a fantastic year for the Group. We saw a huge surge in operations in all<br />

our markets and believe that the strong growth in demand for health care products will continue. Health<br />

care products are no longer deemed as luxury goods but a necessity, as society trends towards a more<br />

sophisticated and health conscious lifestyle.<br />

We have a first mover advantage and are already the established leader in this industry. Even so, we have<br />

only touched the rim of the health care business. Taking just Asia as an example: while there are more<br />

than 3 billion people and over 500 million households, we are selling only less than 30,000 chairs a year.<br />

Hence we believe there is huge potential growth for our business.<br />

CEO’SMESSAGE<br />

Our outlook for 2001 is therefore positive. With the expansion of the Group’s global network by 32 point-<br />

of-sale outlets to 241 over the last year, we are confident of further growth through franchising, acquisitions,<br />

and synergistic tie-ups. Currently, negotiations are underway to appoint franchisees in the Philippines,<br />

Australia, and United Kingdom. The Group will also be implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning<br />

and Customer Relationship Management system that will lay the foundation for our eOSIM online business.


CEO’SMESSAGE<br />

Annual Report 2000<br />

Besides growing its point-of-sale outlets, the Group is also introducing three new concept divisions to the<br />

existing Health Focus concept this year. These are Nutrition Focus, Hygiene Focus, and Fitness Focus.<br />

To be launched first in Singapore and Hong Kong, these new divisions will add breadth to the Group’s<br />

extensive product range and establish new revenue streams.<br />

The Board of Directors and I sincerely appreciate the support of our customers, business associates and<br />

shareholders, which has brought us to where we are today. We will be proposing a dividend of 0.6 cents<br />

per share representing 12%, less tax at 24.5 %, in respect of the financial year ended December 31, 2000.<br />

To our staff, we salute your dedication and hard work in building up a strong foundation from which OSIM<br />

International Ltd will continue to grow profitably. Thanks to you, I look forward to the new millennium with<br />

confidence as we embark on our next phase of growth.<br />

THE<br />

CONSUMER’S<br />

CHOICE<br />

Ranked as the No. 1 brand for home<br />

health care products in Singapore and<br />

We are in the business of home health care and healthy lifestyle products.<br />

As the No.1 brand and most influential trendsetter in Singapore and<br />

Hong Kong, we count an extensive distribution network as a main<br />

competitive advantage in capturing the majority market share of our<br />

niche and highly-specialised business.<br />

With a rapidly expanding point-of-sale network in our primary markets<br />

of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and China, a bourgeoning<br />

franchisee network in our new geographical markets of Thailand,<br />

Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America,<br />

OSIM International Ltd is fast becoming a world-renowned brand.<br />

The OSIM Brand<br />

The unveiling of our new and enhanced corporate logo in April 2000<br />

marked a turning point in our brand management strategy. A bold step<br />

forward in the new millennium, the new logo features the tricolours of<br />

blue for the sky, green for the land, and orange for light and spirit.<br />

Together, they symbolise our aspiration to become a leading<br />

global brand.<br />

The OSIM brand holds an intangible value that has been cultivated<br />

through trust built up painstakingly over the years, based on the quality<br />

promise that is associated with our products and services. This value<br />

boosts the price premium and unit volume of our business, thereby<br />

enhancing our profitability.<br />

Our Concept Shops<br />

We have a unique concept shop layout to leverage on our brand value. Our product<br />

lines are categorised under four complementary concepts- Health Focus, Nutrition<br />

Focus, Hygiene Focus, and Fitness Focus, all carrying the fundamental theme of<br />

health and well-being in the home.<br />

Our Health Focus concept shops carry the existing range of home health care and<br />

healthy lifestyle products. To be opened soon, our planned Nutrition Focus concept<br />

shops will sell a comprehensive range of health food supplements, while our Hygiene<br />

Focus shops will specialise in filtration and home cleaning systems. The Fitness<br />

Focus Concept shops, will market home gym equipment.<br />

Each with its own unique character, decor and style, our four concept shops symbolise<br />

OSIM’s holistic and integrated approach to home health care.<br />

The OSIM Customer Experience<br />

This is characterised by heartfelt warmth, in-depth product knowledge and well<br />

informed advice. Our service staff always strive to provide customers with an<br />

informative and satisfying purchasing experience, from product trial to after-sales<br />

service and maintenance.<br />

The Quality Promise<br />

Quality is our value proposition to our customers. Our brand and corporate reputation<br />

depend on the consistent delivery of high quality products and services that exceed<br />

our customers’ expectations. In place is a dynamic process for continuous<br />

improvement and innovation in our product development. This is based on active<br />

two-way feedback between service staff and customers and close consultation with<br />

our suppliers and contract manufacturers.<br />

OURBUSINESS


Strategic Marketing and Community Development<br />

Marketing with a well thought-out strategy is crucial to enhancing our market<br />

share. Communicating with one voice, one vision is essential as we embark on<br />

a rapid expansion phase in new geographical market.<br />

Central to our broad business goals and overall organisational<br />

vision is a community call for the public to cultivate a positive<br />

mindset towards healthy living. To reinforce our brand in the<br />

public eye, we have been engaging popular celebrities with a<br />

large following in Singapore and Hong Kong to endorse our<br />

products and the concept of healthy living. We also encourage<br />

the spirit of community responsibility through corporate<br />

sponsorship of charity events, such as The President’s Star<br />

Charity and the National Kidney Foundation Charity Show, in Singapore.<br />

In line with our belief that we are in a business that gives back to the community,<br />

we have been actively supporting the Singapore government’s National Healthy<br />

Lifestyle Campaign every year.<br />

To expand our coverage of different customer segments, we have developed our<br />

secondary brand, NORO, carrying massage chairs and kneading massagers with<br />

more simplified designs and features, but nevertheless maintaining the same high<br />

quality standards as the main OSIM products.<br />

Research and Development<br />

In a move to strengthen our control over the source and quality of our products,<br />

we have engaged in a joint venture with Daito Electric Machine Industry Company<br />

in China for the manufacturing and R&D of health care components. Complementing<br />

this venture, OSIM is finalising details to set up its own R&D divisions to focus on<br />

new product development. This move will enable the Group to enhance its R&D<br />

competencies to provide greater value-add to its business and greater input to<br />

the design of its products.<br />

Plugging into Information Technology<br />

The Internet is a global system. Consequently, e-commerce will<br />

be an important extension of our global thrust. Implementation<br />

of a definitive e-commerce strategy is now in full swing with the<br />

impending set up of our B2C and B2B e-commerce transaction<br />

abilities and a health information portal.<br />

Up to S$1.5 million has been expended on a Group-wide<br />

information technology system. With this state-of-the-art<br />

infrastructure, our business processes will be rationalised with<br />

a web-based Enterprise Resource Planning software. An<br />

automated warehouse and inventory management system will<br />

steer our supply-side operations from a stock-driven process to<br />

a more productive and cost-effective demand-driven one.<br />

Logistics processes will be optimised with computerised<br />

forecasting and planning tools. Geographically dispersed<br />

franchisees will be provided with a common financial reporting<br />

platform, thereby strengthening our internal controls.<br />

Our Customer Relationship Management technology will add<br />

further value to OSIM’s “one-stop shop” service from the initial<br />

product advisory to after-sales and maintenance. Shortened<br />

service lead time, more effective cross-selling, and greater<br />

convenience are expected resultants of this landmark initiative.<br />

OPERATIONSREVIEW<br />

The Group's turnover increased by 31% in FY2000 to<br />

S$135.6 million from S$103.1 million in the previous year.<br />

The increase in turnover was mainly due to the introduction<br />

of new products and higher contribution from the<br />

subsidiaries, particularly in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.<br />

Profit before taxation rose by 27% from S$10.8 million in<br />

FY1999 to S$13.8 million in FY2000 while profit after taxation<br />

and minority interests increased by 27% from S$7.4 million<br />

to S$9.4 million. The percentage increase in profit was lower<br />

than that of turnover due to higher expenses incurred during<br />

the year to launch and enhance the Group's brand<br />

architecture platform. This relates to the design and launch<br />

of our new corporate logo and identity. Expenses were<br />

incurred to commission a global brand consultant and to<br />

execute the accompanying advertising campaign.<br />

Factors which contributed to the improvement in the Group's<br />

performance include:<br />

(a) new and enhanced products,<br />

(b) lower cost of goods due to favourable exchange rates<br />

arising from a weaker Yen as we made a portion of<br />

purchases from Japan, and<br />

(c) higher income from our associated companies due to<br />

an increase in exports to a major distributor in US.<br />

This healthy turnover and profit comes in the wake of the<br />

society's trend towards a more sophisticated and healthy<br />

lifestyle, and is an indication of OSIM's future success in<br />

attaining the status of a leading global brand.<br />
