personalDuring the uncertainty of the pandemic, Directors, Perth, and Expatriate personnel accepted pay decreases from April through to December |
The Company is pleased to report another profitable period (30 June 2021: $8M profit before tax). This result exceeded the Company's expectations and is the result of a variety of factors.
During the financial year ending 30 June 2021, Atlas Pearls launched its online sales platform, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling the Company to continue selling its pearls worldwide through uncertain times. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted movement of people, pearls, and resources but through the strategic initiative of the management team, negative impacts were minimal and opportunities to capture new markets were secured.
The online platform facilitated the sale of pearls in line with a 24-month harvest period. When the Company was reliant on traditional auction timing, the pearls often had to be harvested early to meet the auction deadline instead of being able to grow to their full potential. As the Company is now in control of the timing of sales events, pearl quality is improving.
2020. The Board is pleased to report that in December 2021, Atlas has repaid amounts forgone to current employees.
For3. Financial Result
The Group net profit for the period ended 31 December 2021 is $4.1M, compared to a $744k loss in the prior year comparative period.
