Trading Update
China Medical System Holdings Ltd. (AIM: CMSH), a leading pharmaceutical
contract sales & marketing company in China, is pleased to provide shareholders
with a trading update. The Company expects to release its annual results for the
year ended 31 December 2009 before the end of April 2010.
The Company is pleased to report that unaudited sales for the year ended 31
December 2009 are expected to be approximately US$96million which represents a
year over year growth of approximately 32%; up from US$73 million for the year
ended 31 December 2008.
Commenting on the update, Mr. Lam Kong, CEO of the Company said: "2009 was
another year of great achievement for CMS which demonstrated the successful
execution of our growth strategy, namely, to in-license, on an exclusive basis,
high quality pharmaceuticals with significant market potential and expand the
sales network to further enhance our core competence and market share.
While maintaining strong growth of our existing products, we intend to introduce
no less than 2 additional imported products in 2010 to further diversify our
product portfolio and expand our therapeutic focus. Currently, we are having
discussions with prospective suppliers who are interested in licensing out their
products to CMS. Aside from the traditional exclusive agency approach, we are
also exploring other internationally accepted practices to in-license products
from overseas suppliers, thereby offering greater flexibility in our
co-operation with business partners.
In 2010, we plan to further expand our sales network. We have recently launched
an internship program aiming at adding about 300 medical graduates or post
graduates, some of whom will be selected to be front line salespersons after
completing our rigorous training programs.
CMS is a well-established company and given the local Chinese markets it
operates in, we believe it is now appropriate to explore the potential listing
of the Company's shares on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. It is the
current intention that the proposed listing will be in addition to the Company's
current AIM listing."
As the success of the proposed additional listing is subject to the fulfillment
of a number of conditions, including but not limited to the listing approval
from The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited as well as the market conditions,
the proposed additional listing may or may not proceed. Shareholders of the
Company and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the
shares of the Company.
