Dear Shareholders,
As we look back on the past year, I am delighted to share a comprehensive overview of our key initiatives and insights into the challenges that have shaped our journey. Your unwavering trust and support have played a pivotal role, and we believe transparency in sharing both successes and challenges is essential. This letter aims to provide a holistic perspective on Starfleet Innotech's progress, offering a glimpse into the strategic decisions that have guided our path forward.
Key Challenges
We're facing challenges in two main areas: economic conditions and shifts in the market landscape. Like many businesses, we've had to adapt strategies due to the pandemic's impact. The second challenge is funding; despite having promising projects, delays in capital funding are impacting our cash reserves. Raising capital is difficult in the current climate. To address this, we've separated existing operations from capital projects to mitigate risks. Currently, our focus is on survival and risk management until sufficient funding is secured. Over the past six months, I've explored numerous funding opportunities, and we've now secured non-dilutive funding partners for various ventures, including real estate, electric vehicles, buyback, and Epiphany Cafe expansion in North America. Stay tuned for details in the coming weeks.
Key Initiatives
Buyback
The Company has successfully secured funding for its much-anticipated buyback program, with the finalization of the buyback settlement currently underway. Delays were caused by the challenges and complexities of funds transfer and clearing. Anticipated to conclude next month, this strategic move underscores our dedication to optimizing shareholder value.
Part of this initiative includes the planned repurchase of a substantial 200 million shares from one of the Company's key stakeholders, BNCM, further consolidating our financial strength and signaling confidence in our future trajectory.
Auditor Engagement
In tandem with our commitment to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance, Starfleet Innotech is pleased to announce the formalization of an engagement with a renowned PCAOB-accredited auditor based in the United States.
The forthcoming details of this engagement will be unveiled in a press release slated for next month, providing stakeholders with comprehensive insights into the meticulous auditing process that underlines our dedication to transparency and accountability.
As we embark on these transformative initiatives, Starfleet Innotech remains steadfast in its pursuit of excellence, shareholder value, and adherence to the principles of sound corporate governance.
Business Recalibration and Consolidation
We have re-calibrated and consolidated our business model and structure to ensure better focus and management of the complex business models. Key objectives are to maximize operational excellence and encourage collaboration amongst the subsidiaries.
Acquisitions and Partnerships
Our recalibrated strategy is more focused on real estate development and energy projects which will increase our asset base and will limit our risk exposure.
This year, we have entered into a strategic partnership with European Wellness Biomedical Group (EW Group). Through this partnership, we will develop and operate Moraya's Integrative & Holistic Medicine facility within the eight-hectare micro-township project that we are developing in Palawan, Philippines. The EW Group owns the EUROPEAN WELLNESS brand, which is a holistic wellness and rejuvenation concept based on the scientifically backed knowledge and effectiveness of Swiss and German biological medicine and bio-molecular therapy. Through this partnership, we see the Moraya micro-township project joining European Wellness' many global sites-found across Greece (Santorini, Athens), Switzerland (Lugano), Germany, Thailand, Bangladesh, China, and Malaysia-offering patients holistic treatment for anti-aging, age reversal, aesthetics, and whole-life disease and health management.
We also launched Terra Realty platform along with our partner Terra Solutions Realty Corporation, an industry enabler working alongside developers, brokers, agents, sellers, and buyers to highlight and streamline promising real estate investment opportunities.
Later this year, we have finalized two shares swap (Restricted Preferred Series B shares) deals with two real estate developers from the Philippines and United States respectively. At least two other similar transactions (all in the United States) are underway. Through Starfleets committed funding from our investors, we will invest in these projects, granting Starfleet an eventual majority shareholding in each of the real estate companies. This is part of the recalibrated strategy of Starfleet that would also strengthen our business operations in the United States.
We are excited to share that we will soon announce two finalized letter of intents as stated above:
Heroes Lane Project:
Location: Philippines
Project Type: Real Estate Development (Potential Value $30M)
Project Status: Construction and Pre-selling are in progress; Reserved >20%
Senior Residential Care Facility:
Location: San Jose, California
Project Type: Senior Residential Care Facility (Potential Value $300M)
Project Status: Entitlements completed and land acquisition in progress
Our Approach for 2024
In the coming year, our strategy is centered on three key pillars: precise project execution, a streamlined organizational structure, and the launch of a compelling campaign. With a keen emphasis on operational excellence, we are poised to turn our strategic initiatives into tangible successes. By refining our organizational framework, we aim to enhance collaboration and drive innovation throughout the company. Simultaneously, the kickoff of our strategic campaign will amplify our brand narrative, setting the stage for a dynamic and impactful year ahead.
As we navigate the ambitious and exciting journey ahead, we express our gratitude for your unwavering support of Starfleet Innotech. We are committed to maintaining open lines of communication through our social media channels, enlightening bridge episodes, and engaging meet-the-fleet videos. Your trust fuels our determination to reach new heights, and we look forward to achieving shared success together. Thank you for being an integral part of the Starfleet Innotech community.
Sincerely,
Jeths Lacson
CEO, Starfleet Innotech
