Ann: Appendix 4E, page-4

A lot more useful information in this report. Most notable:

• Bodyguard (cf Bodycare): "[T]he Company has sought to push towards commercialisation by achieving manufacturability and market clearance for the BodyGuard product range. To this end, OBJ partnered with an international manufacturer to: [1] produce high-quality KneeGuard prototypes to assess production economics; [2] [to] further engage potential distribution partners; and [3] begin the process of regulatory documentation... These prototypes act as a template to achieve a final finished good, which the Company can either choose to supply on a wholesale distribution basis, act as a contract manufacturer for a chosen brand partner or deploy a mix of both models depending on the geographical region...Further to this, a volume of these prototype units was supplied to an interested brand partner in the UK who is a leader in the topical pain relief category, with the partner conducting consumer exposure studies and concept validation work. The results from this body of work have proved encouraging and discussions continue regarding potential distribution of BodyGuard products into the UK, subject to achieving manufacturing and regulatory milestones."

I read this to mean that OBJ is doing [1], [2] and [3] with the "international manufacturer".  That looks like some serious kind of joint venture going on.​

​

• Surface Hygiene: "...The two teams met again during the March quarter, at which time OBJ was informed that the Surface Hygiene exploration work would be moved to the partner’s new facility in India, and that some delays may occur as this new facility familiarises themselves with the OBJ technology."​

Unilever has a research and development facility in Bangladore, India. Could this be it?​

​

• DCE: "New formulation “layering” caps containing the DCE technology were evaluated in Singapore with a new potential multi-national partner with which OBJ has been fostering a relationship. There is an opportunity for OBJ to supply packaging for end-user products containing the Company’s DCE layering technology. The potential partner will undertake consumer evaluation work before progressing discussions with OBJ"

Great to see this progressing, and with someone NEW!​
