GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS


To facilitate a better understanding of the business of our Group, the following glossary provides
a description of some of the technical terms and abbreviations commonly used in our industry. The
terms and abbreviations and their assigned meanings should not be treated as being definitive of
their meanings, and may not correspond to standard industry or common meanings or usage of
these terms:
aggregates

A granular rock product obtained by processing of natural


materials through crushing and screening

Competent Person

A minerals industry professional who is a Member or Fellow


of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, or of
the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, or of a
Recognised Professional Organisation (RPO), as included
in a list available on the JORC and Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX) websites. These organisations have
enforceable disciplinary processes including the powers to
suspend or expel a member
A Competent Person must have a minimum of five (5) years
relevant experience in the style of mineralisation or type of
deposit under consideration and in the activity which that
person is undertaking

Feasibility Study

A comprehensive technical and economic study of the


selected development option for a mineral project that
includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable
Modifying Factors together with other relevant operational
factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to
demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is
reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of
the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final
decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed
with, or finance, the development of the project. The
confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a
Pre-Feasibility Study

GCC

Ground calcium carbonate, which is produced through


mechanical grinding of naturally occurring calcium
carbonate rocks and is a most commonly used mineral in
the paper, plastic, paints and coating industries as a filler
and also as a coating pigment

GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS


Indicated Mineral Resource
or Indicated Resource

That part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade


(or quality), densities, shape and physical characteristics
are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the
application of Modifying Factors in sufficient detail to
support mine planning and evaluation of the economic
viability of the deposit
Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed
and reliable exploration, sampling and testing gathered
through appropriate techniques from locations such as
outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes, and is
sufficient to assume geological and grade (or quality)
continuity between points of observation where data and
samples are gathered
An Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of
confidence than that applying to a Measured Mineral
Resource and may only be converted to a Probable Ore
Reserve

Inferred Mineral Resource


or Inferred Resource

That part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and


grade (or quality) is estimated on the basis of limited
geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is
sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade (or
quality) continuity
An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of
confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral
Resource and must not be converted to an Ore Reserve. It
is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral
Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral
Resources with continued exploration

GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS


Measured Mineral Resource

That part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade


(or quality), densities, shape and physical characteristics
are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the
application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine
planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the
deposit
Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable
exploration, sampling and testing gathered through
appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops,
trenches, pits, workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to
confirm geological and grade (or quality) continuity
between points of observation where data and samples are
gathered
A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of
confidence than that applying to either an Indicated Mineral
Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource. It may be
converted to a Proved Ore Reserve or under certain
circumstances to a Probable Ore Reserve

Mineral Resource

A concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic


interest in or on the Earths crust in such form, grade (or
quality), and quantity that there are reasonable prospects
for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity,
grade (or quality), continuity and other geological
characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated
or interpreted from specific geological evidence and
knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources are sub
divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into
Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories

Modifying Factors

The considerations used to convert Mineral Resources to


Ore Reserves. These include, but are not restricted to,
mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic,
marketing, legal, environment, social and governmental
factors

Ore Reserves

The economically mineable part of a Measured and/or


Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials
and allowances for losses, which may occur when the
material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at
Pre-Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study level as
appropriate that include the application of Modifying
Factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of
reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. Ore
Reserves are sub-divided in order of increasing confidence
into Probable Ore Reserves and Proved Ore Reserves

18

GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS


PCC

Precipitated calcium carbonate, which is produced through


a chemical reaction process that utilises calcium oxide,
which is quicklime, water and carbon dioxide and has many
industrial applications such as paper industry, polymer and
healthcare applications

Pre-Feasibility Study

A comprehensive study of a range of options for the


technical and economic viability of a mineral project that
has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method,
in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration,
in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective
method of mineral processing is determined. It includes a
financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the
Modifying Factors and the evaluation of any other relevant
factors which are sufficient for a Competent Person, acting
reasonably, to determine if all or part of the Mineral
Resources may be converted to an Ore Reserve at the time
of reporting. A Pre-Feasibility Study is at a lower confidence
level than a Feasibility Study

Probable Ore Reserve or


Probable Reserve

The economically mineable part of an Indicated, and in


some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource

Proved Ore Reserve or


Proved Reserve

The economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral


Resource

LISTING ON CATALIST
A copy of this Offer Document has been lodged with and registered by the SGX-ST, acting as
agent on behalf of the Authority. The registration of this Offer Document by the SGX-ST, acting as
agent on behalf of the Authority does not imply that the SFA, the Catalist Rules or any other legal
or regulatory requirements, have been complied with. The SGX-ST has not, in any way,
considered the merits of our existing issued Shares, the Placement Shares, the Option Shares
and the Award Shares, as the case may be, being offered or in respect of which an invitation is
made, for investment.
The Issue Manager, Sponsor and Placement Agent has made an application to the SGX-ST for
permission to deal in, and for quotation of, all our Shares already issued, the Placement Shares
which are the subject of the Placement on Catalist, the Option Shares and the Award Shares.
Such permission will be granted when we have been admitted to Catalist. Acceptance of
applications will be conditional upon, inter alia, the issue of the Placement Shares, the Option
Shares and the Award Shares and permission being granted by the SGX-ST for the listing and
quotation of all our existing issued Shares, the Placement Shares, the Option Shares and the
Award Shares on Catalist. If the admission, listing and trading of our Shares already issued and
the Placement Shares do not proceed or the said permission is not granted for any reason, monies
paid in respect of any application accepted will be returned, without interest or any share of
revenue or other benefit arising therefrom and at the applicants own risk, and the applicant will
not have any claim against us and the Issue Manager, Sponsor and Placement Agent. No Shares
will be allotted on the basis of this Offer Document later than six (6) months after the date of
registration of this Offer Document by the SGX-ST, acting as agent on behalf of the Authority.
Companies listed on Catalist may carry higher investment risk when compared with larger or more
established companies listed on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. In particular, companies may list
on Catalist without a track record of profitability and there is no assurance that there will be a liquid
market in the shares or units of shares traded on Catalist. You should be aware of the risks of
investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful
consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with your professional adviser(s).
Neither the Authority nor the SGX-ST has examined or approved the contents of this Offer
Document. Neither the Authority nor the SGX-ST assumes any responsibility for the contents of
this Offer Document, including the correctness of any of the statements or opinions made or
reports contained in this Offer Document. The SGX-ST does not normally review the application
for admission to Catalist but relies on the Issue Manager and Sponsor confirming that our
Company is suitable to be listed and complies with the Catalist Rules. Neither the Authority nor
the SGX-ST has in any way considered the merits of the Shares or units of Shares being offered
for investment.
Admission to Catalist is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the Placement, our
Company, our subsidiaries, our existing issued Shares, the Placement Shares, the Option Shares
or the Award Shares.

RISK FACTORS
You should evaluate carefully each of the following risk factors and all of the other information set
forth in this Offer Document before deciding to invest in our Shares. Some of the following
considerations relate principally to the industry in which we operate and our business in general.
Other considerations relate principally to general social, economic, political and regulatory
conditions, the securities market and ownership of our Shares, including possible future dilution
in the value of our Shares.
You should also note that certain of the statements set forth below constitute forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. If any of the following risk factors and
uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations
or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In such circumstances, the trading price
of our Shares could decline due to any of these risk factors, and you may lose all or part of your
investment. To the best of our Directors belief and knowledge, all the risk factors that are material
to investors in making an informed judgement have been set out below.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS OR THE INDUSTRY
We have a limited operating history and track record of carrying out our business activities.
Our past financial performance as an ad-hoc trader of iron ore and coal is also not an
indication of our future performance in the business of the quarrying and processing of
limestone.
Our Group was only established in 2009 and has a limited history upon which to assess its future
expected performance. Prior to the commencement of the quarrying of limestone from the
Gridland Quarry in January 2013, we derived all of our revenue from the ad-hoc trading of iron ore
and coal, from which we recorded revenues of MYR2.3 million and MYR7.7 million in FY2011 and
FY2012 respectively. Subsequently, our Group ceased the trading of iron ore and coal to focus on
our limestone quarrying and processing business. As such, our past financial performance
attributable to the ad-hoc trading of iron ore and coal bears no relation to, and provides no
indication as to our future financial performance in the business of quarrying and processing of
limestone.
As production only commenced in June 2014, we did not derive any revenue from the quarrying
and processing of limestone in FY2011, FY2012 and FY2013, and recorded revenue of MYR0.4
million from our Groups limestone quarrying activities in 9M2014. During the Period Under
Review, our Group recorded losses of MYR0.4 million, MYR1.6 million, MYR2.3 million and
MYR10.7 million in FY2011, FY2012, FY2013 and 9M2014 respectively. The failure of our Group
to generate profits from its limestone quarrying activities could have an adverse impact on the
development of and future production from our Groups concession areas, which in turn could
have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of our Group.
We have yet to establish a strong sales track record
We are in the initial stage of production of our crushed limestone and have been actively
marketing our crushed limestone and seeking to establish our domestic sales channels and
networks. As we are a new player in the market, the orders which we have received to date are
relatively modest in number and size. In the event we are unable to secure a stable or regular
source of sales or revenue through entry into and fulfilment of off-take agreements and/or are
unable to establish our domestic sales channels and networks, our revenue and cash flow will be
adversely affected. This will in turn have an adverse effect on our financial position or results,
prospects and future growth.

37

RISK FACTORS
We may not be able to discover new limestone reserves to maintain a commercially viable
quarrying operation
As indicated in the Independent Qualified Persons Report, our current Ore Reserves of the
Gridland Quarry and the Hyper Act Quarry amounted to approximately 26.3Mt. Based on the
planned production schedule for our quarrying operations, it is expected that the quarrying of
these Ore Reserves will be completed by us in 2021. While we are continuously conducting
exploration activities, there is no assurance that these exploration activities will result in the
discovery of new reserves as quarrying exploration is unpredictable in nature. The success of any
quarrying exploration depends on various factors including, among other things, (i) whether
limestone bodies can be located; (ii) whether the location of limestone bodies are economically
viable to the quarry; (iii) whether appropriate quarrying and processing facilities can be
economically constructed; and (iv) whether necessary governmental permits, licences and
consents can be obtained. In order to maintain limestone production beyond the life of the current
proved and probable reserves, we must identify further reserves capable of economic exploitation.
However, due to the unpredictable and speculative nature of the quarrying industry, there is no
assurance that any exploration program will result in the discovery of valuable resources.
In addition, even if a viable deposit is discovered, it may require substantial capital expenditure
and time from the initial phases of exploration until production commences during which the
capital cost and economic feasibility may change. There is also no assurance that reported
resources can be converted into reserves. Furthermore, actual results upon production may differ
from those anticipated at the time of the discovery. In addition, there are a number of uncertainties
inherent in the development and construction of any new quarry or an extension to an existing
quarry, including: (a) the availability and timing of necessary governmental approvals; (b) the
timing and cost necessary to construct quarrying and processing facilities; (c) the availability and
cost of labour, utilities, auxiliary materials and other supplies and the accessibility of
transportation and other infrastructure; and (d) the availability of funds to finance construction and
production activities.
In order to maintain limestone production beyond the life of our Ore Reserves, other than through
acquisitions, additional limestone reserves must be identified either to extend the life of the
existing quarries or justify the development of new projects. In the event that our exploration
programs do not result in the replacement of such limestone reserves or result in new
commercially viable quarrying operation beyond the Ore Reserves identified, this could have an
adverse impact on the future operations, results and growth of our Group.
Our business, revenues and profits are affected by the volatility of prices for limestone and
the global economy
Our financial results will be highly sensitive to changes in the prices of limestone. Limestone
prices may be affected by numerous factors, including supply and demand conditions,
expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, global and regional political and economic crises.
The demand for and supply of limestone affect limestone prices but not necessarily in the same
manner as demand and supply affect the prices of other commodities.

38

RISK FACTORS
Our business, financial condition and results are dependent upon the prices of, and demand for,
limestone, and also the global economy. Declines in limestone prices and any economic downturn
may adversely affect our business, revenue and profit. Our profitability is, and will largely be
determined by the difference between the prices received for crushed limestone that our Group
produces and the costs of developing, producing and selling the crushed limestone produced. Our
Group does not and will not have control over the factors affecting international prices for
limestone. These factors include:
(a)

political, economic, financial and social developments in limestone producing regions and in
the global economy;

(b)

the ability of the limestone producing nations to set and maintain limestone production levels
and prices;

(c)

other actions taken by major limestone producing or consuming countries;

(d)

global and regional supply and demand for limestone; and

(e)

domestic and foreign government regulations.

We expect that there may be volatility and uncertainty in international prices for limestone in the
future, and accordingly, our revenue and profit in any financial reporting period may be subject to
such volatility.
Our actual operating costs may differ significantly from estimates
The operating costs of our Group are based on certain estimates and assumptions with respect
to the method and timing of quarrying activities. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions
are subject to significant uncertainties and the actual costs may materially differ from these
estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and
the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice and in the event that our Group has
underestimated our operating costs, our financial condition and results of operations will be
adversely affected.
Our actual limestone processing capacity may differ significantly from managements
expectations of the processing capacity
The limestone processing capacity of our Group is based on certain estimates and assumptions,
which include, inter alia, the construction of the crusher plant facility in the Hyper Act Quarry on
the second quarter of FY2015, the processing capacity of each crusher plant, the time taken for
each limestone processing cycle. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant
uncertainties and the actual limestone processing capacity may materially differ from
managements expectations and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
expected limestone processing capacity and the underlying assumptions will be realised in
practice and in the event that our Group has overestimated our limestone processing capacity, we
will not be able to achieve the managements anticipated level of production and profitability.

39

RISK FACTORS
We may not be able to obtain, maintain or renew governmental permits necessary for
exploration, quarrying or production at our limestone quarries
In the ordinary course of business, quarrying companies are required to seek governmental
permits and approvals for exploration and quarrying, expansion and renewal of existing
operations or for the commencement of new operations. Obtaining or renewing the necessary
licences for the purpose of quarrying from the Department of Lands and Mines of Perak and the
Minerals and Geoscience Department of Perak can be a complex and time-consuming process
and often involves costly undertakings on our part. The duration and success of obtaining such
approvals are contingent upon many variables and are dependent on the decisions of the
Department of Lands and Mines of Perak and the Minerals and Geoscience Department of Perak.
Environmental protection and rehabilitation requirements, including the approvals of
environmental assessment reports, environmental management plans, rehabilitation plans and
compliance with the environmental monitoring requirements, may increase our costs and cause
delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of applicable
requirements implemented by the permitting authority. In addition, the Minerals and Geoscience
Department of Perak and the Department of Lands and Mines of Perak may vary, modify or impose
further conditions upon renewal of the our existing licences and approvals or application of new
licences and approvals.
There can be no assurance that all necessary permits and approvals for our activities will be
obtained and, if obtained, that the costs involved will not exceed those estimated by us. It is
possible that the costs and delays associated with the compliance with such standards and
regulations could affect our ability to proceed with the development or operation of a quarry or
quarries. In the event that Gridland is unable to renew its licences and Hyper Act is not able to
procure and renew the relevant licences, our Group will not be able to carry out the activities of
quarrying and processing limestone and our operations, financial condition and future growth will
be adversely affected.
Since the commencement of our operations till the Latest Practicable Date, there has been no
incident of our Group being unable to obtain, maintain or renew governmental permits necessary
for exploration, quarrying or production at our limestone quarries.
We may need to obtain further financing for our existing business and future growth
We will have to fund the investment costs for capital expenditure and operating costs required for
our limestone quarrying project. We may also require additional funding for our growth plans. We
have estimated our funding requirements in order to implement our growth plans as set out in the
section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Business Strategies and
Future Plans of this Offer Document.
In the event that the costs of implementing our growth plans should exceed our funding estimates
significantly or that we come across opportunities to grow through expansion plans which cannot
be predicted at this juncture, and our funds generated from our operations prove insufficient for
such purposes, we may need to raise additional funds to meet these funding requirements. We will
consider obtaining such funding from new issuance of equity, debt instruments and/or external
bank borrowings, as appropriate. In addition, we may need to obtain additional equity or debt
financing for other business opportunities that our Group deems favourable to our future growth
and prospects. Funding through the new issuance of equity will lead to a dilution in the interests
of the Shareholders. An increase in debt financing may be accompanied by conditions that restrict
our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek lenders consent for payment of dividends, or
restrict our freedom to operate our business by requiring lenders consent for certain corporate
actions.
40

RISK FACTORS
In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that
are favourable and acceptable. If we are not able to secure adequate financing, our business and
growth may be negatively affected.
Uncertainties inherent in the assumptions made in arriving at the valuation of our Mineral
Resource estimates may affect the value of our Shares
The valuation of our Mineral Resource estimates requires consideration of all relevant factors
affecting the operation of our business and our ability to generate future investment returns.
Please refer to Appendix G entitled Independent Valuation Report of this Offer Document for
further details.
The conclusion of the value is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices promulgated
in the VALMIN Code that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the
consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained.
Furthermore, while the assumptions and consideration of such matters are considered by us to be
reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of our Group.
Our future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition will be affected if we fail
to achieve our production estimates
Estimates of future production for the quarrying operations of our Group are subject to change and
based on various assumptions. The production estimates are based on, among other things,
resource and reserve estimates, estimated production rates, progress of quarry and plant
development, prices of products and costs of production. The production schedules for Gridland
Quarry and the Hyper Act Quarry are considered preliminary and several assumptions that are
made by our Group including the assumptions made for the production estimates, are as set out
in the Independent Qualified Persons Report.
Due to the above reasons, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve its production
estimates and in such event, the future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition of
our Group could be adversely affected. Actual production may also vary from the estimates for a
variety of other reasons as set out below:
(a)

actual limestone quarried varying from estimates in grade, tonnage, and other
characteristics;

(b)

lower than estimated recovery rate;

(c)

pit wall failures or cave-ins;

(d)

industrial accidents;

(e)

equipment failures;

(f)

natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, blizzards, droughts, rock
slides and earthquakes;

(g)

encountering of unusual or unexpected geological conditions;

41

RISK FACTORS
(h)

changes in power costs and potential power shortages;

(i)

shortages of principal supplies needed for operation, including explosives, fuels, equipment
parts and lubricating oil;

(j)

litigation; and

(k)

restrictions imposed by government authorities.

The occurrences of any of the above events could result in damage to mineral properties,
interruptions in production, injury or death to persons, damage to the properties of our Group or
others, monetary losses and legal liabilities. These factors may cause a mineral deposit that has
been quarried profitably in the past to become unprofitable. Quarrying operations frequently
experience unexpected problems during the initial development phase. Delays or interruptions
can often occur in the initial stage of production.
As our Group is in the preliminary stage of production, it is possible that actual cash operating
costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those that are estimated. There is no
assurance that we will be able to realise the estimated recovery rate at the Gridland Quarry, Hyper
Act Quarry or any other quarries operated by us in the future and in such event, the future growth
prospects and results of operations of our Group may be adversely affected.
We rely on our contractors and/or consultants for certain services
We work closely with our contractors and/or consultants to carry out our business operations.
Such contractors and/or consultants have offered their services and provided their support to our
Group at prices which are more favourable than those offered by other contractors and/or
consultants. The quarrying operations of our Group, in particular Hyper Act, rely on the services
provided by the contractors and/or consultants and our ability to maintain our relationships with
the contractors and/or consultants whom our Group does not enter into any long term contract
with.
Any failure by our Group to retain the services of the contractors and/or consultants on the current
favourable terms, or obtain replacements on favourable terms or at all may affect our Groups
business and results of operations. Details of the contractors and/or consultants of our Group are
set out in the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Key
Contractors and Consultants of this Offer Document.
In addition, as we may outsource substantially our quarrying activities pursuant to service
contracts with third party contractors, our operations will be affected by the performance of such
third party contractors. Although we monitor the work of such third party contractors to ensure that
the work is carried out on time, on budget and to specification, we may not be able to control the
quality, safety and environmental standards of the work done by the third party contractors to the
same extent as when the work is performed by our own employees. Any failure by the third party
contractors to meet our Groups quality, safety and environmental standards could affect our
Groups compliance with government rules and regulations relating to exploration, quarrying and
workers safety and may also result in liabilities to third parties, which in turn could have a material
adverse effect on our Groups business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

42

RISK FACTORS
Our business is exposed to uncertainties in relation to its expansion plans
As described in the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group
Business Strategies and Future Plans of this Offer Document, the growth strategies of our Group
include the execution of our development plan for the Hyper Act Quarry and engaging in further
exploration activities to increase limestone resources and output. There is no guarantee that the
implementation and execution of such business strategies and future plans will be successful as
this involves a number of risks and uncertainties and it is dependent on approvals from the
governmental and regulatory authorities and requires substantial capital expenditure, financial
and management resources. In the event that we are not able to achieve a sufficient level of
revenue or manage our costs effectively or the commencement of these planned expansions is
delayed or aborted, our future financial performance and position will be adversely affected.
Our operations are exposed to regulations and risks in relation to production safety and the
occurrence of accidents
As a limestone quarrying company, we are subject to extensive laws, rules and regulations
imposed by the Malaysian government regarding occupational safety and health. In particular, our
quarrying operations involve the handling and storage of chemicals and other dangerous articles
and the usage of various heavy machineries. We may experience in the future increased costs of
production arising from compliance with occupational safety and health laws and regulations.
There can be no assurance that more stringent laws, regulations or policies regarding
occupational safety and health will not be implemented or that the existing laws, regulations and
policies will not be more stringently enforced. We may not be able to comply with all existing or
future laws, regulations and policies in relation to occupational safety and health issues
economically or at all. Should we fail to comply with any occupational safety and health laws or
regulations, we would be required to rectify the occupational safety and health problems within a
period prescribed under the laws and regulations or as prescribed by the regulatory authorities.
Failure to rectify any problem could lead to suspension of our operations and offences committed
against the laws and regulations could lead to penalties involving mandatory fines and/or
imprisonment. In addition, there can be no assurance that accidents arising from the mishandling
of dangerous articles will not occur in the future. Should we fail to comply with any relevant laws,
regulations or policies or should any accident occur as a result of the mishandling of dangerous
articles, our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely
affected, and we may be subject to penalties, civil liabilities or criminal liabilities.
We and/or our third party contractors may encounter accidents, technical difficulties, mechanical
failure or breakdown in the exploration, quarrying and production processes, as well as possible
localised mud-slides, instability of the slopes, and subsidence of the working areas due to natural
disasters. The occurrence of accidents may disrupt or result in a suspension of our operations,
increase production costs, result in liabilities incurred by our Group and harm our Groups
reputation. Such incidents may also result in a breach of the conditions of the quarrying rights, or
any other consents, approvals or authorisations, which may result in fines and penalties or even
possible revocation of our quarrying rights. In any of such events, our business and financial
performance will be adversely affected. In the event of accidents which are not covered by the
insurance or workmens compensation policies taken by our Group, or if claims arising from such
accidents are in excess of our insurance coverage, and/or any of our insurance claims are
contested by the insurance companies, we will be required to pay such compensation. Under such
circumstances, the business and financial performance of our Group will be adversely affected.

43

RISK FACTORS
Since the commencement of our operations till the Latest Practicable Date, no accidents,
technical difficulties, mechanical failure or breakdown in the exploration, quarrying and production
processes, as well as possible localised mud-slides, instability of the slopes, and subsidence of
the working areas due to natural disasters have occurred at the quarrying site operated by our
Group.
Our operations are exposed to risks in relation to environmental protection and
rehabilitation
Operations of limestone quarries are subject to environmental risks and hazards. Our production
and operations are subject to laws, rules and regulations imposed by the Malaysian government
regarding environmental matters, such as prevention of pollution of the air, noise and earth, the
treatment and discharge of hazardous wastes and materials and environmental rehabilitation.
Environmental hazards may occur in connection with our operations as a result of human
negligence, force majeure or otherwise. The occurrence of any environmental hazards may delay
production, increase production costs, cause personal injuries or property damage, result in
liabilities incurred by our Group and/or damage our Groups reputation. Such incidents may also
result in a breach of the conditions of our Groups environmental approvals and/or approvals to
conduct quarry operations or other consents, approvals or authorisations, which may result in
fines, penalties, or even possible revocation of the quarrying rights. In any of such events, our
business and financial performance will be adversely affected.
In the future, we may experience increased costs of production arising from compliance with
environmental laws and regulations. Moreover, the development of the Malaysian economy and
the improvements in the living standards of the population may lead to a heightened awareness
of environmental protection. As a result, it is possible that more stringent environmental laws,
regulations and policies may be implemented in the future, or the existing environmental laws,
regulations and policies may be more strictly enforced. We may not always be able to comply with
existing or future laws, regulations or policies in relation to environmental protection and
rehabilitation economically or at all. Should we fail to comply with any such existing or future laws,
regulations or policies, we may be subject to penalties and liabilities under Malaysian laws and
regulations, including but not limited to warnings, fines, prosecution, suspension of production and
closure of the facility that fails to comply with the relevant environmental standards. In addition,
we may also be subject to actions by environment protection groups or other interested persons
who object to the actual or perceived environmental impact of our quarrying operation or other
actual or perceived condition at our mines. These actions may delay or halt production or may
create negative publicity related to our mines. Accordingly, our operations and financial condition
will be adversely affected.
Our quarrying operations have a finite life and eventual closure of these operations will
entail costs and risks regarding ongoing monitoring, rehabilitation and compliance with
environmental standards
Our quarrying operations have a finite life and will eventually be closed. The key costs and risks
for quarry closures are as follow:
(a)

long-term management of permanent engineered structures and acid rock drainage;

(b)

achievement of environmental closure standards;

(c)

orderly retrenchment of employees and third party contractors; and


44

RISK FACTORS
(d)

relinquishment of the site with associated permanent structures and community development
infrastructure and programs to new owners.

The successful completion of these tasks is dependent on our ability to successfully implement
negotiated agreements with the relevant government, community and employees. The
consequences of a difficult closure range from increased closure costs and handover delays to
ongoing environmental rehabilitation costs and damage to the reputation of our Group if desired
outcomes cannot be achieved, which could materially and adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
We may not be able to maintain the provision of adequate and uninterrupted supplies of
electricity, water, diesel, auxiliary materials, equipment and spare parts
Electricity and water are the main utilities used in our quarrying activities. There can be no
assurance that supplies of electricity, water, diesel, auxiliary materials, equipment or spare parts
will not be interrupted or that their prices will not increase in the future. In the event that our
existing suppliers cease to supply us with electricity, water, diesel, auxiliary materials, equipment
or spare parts at existing or lower prices or at all, and we are not able to procure alternative
sources of such supply, our financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.
In addition, although we currently generate electricity in-house, an interruption in electricity supply
due to a breakdown of our generators or for any other reasons will materially and adversely affect
our Groups production by disrupting operations such as water pumping.
Since the commencement of our operations till the Latest Practicable Date, there has been no
disruption of supply of electricity, water, diesel, auxiliary materials, equipment or spare parts to our
Group.
Severe weather conditions, natural disasters and other events beyond our control could
materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations
Severe weather conditions such as heavy rainfall and natural disasters such as landslides,
earthquakes, fire hazards, floods and other events beyond our control may require us to evacuate
personnel or curtail operations and may result in damage to our quarries, equipment or facilities,
which could result in the temporary suspension of operations or a reduction in our productivity.
During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters or other
events beyond our control, we may continue to incur operating expenses while production has
slowed down or ceased altogether. Any damages to our projects or delays in our operations
caused by severe weather conditions, natural disasters or other events beyond our control could
materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are dependent on certain key personnel for our continued success
Our success to date is attributable to the contributions and expertise of the executive officers of
our Group who have built the business of our Group under the guidance and leadership of our
Executive Chairman and CEO, Alex Loo, and our Executive Director and COO, Pang Kim Chon.
Our Groups continued success and growth will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to retain
the services of the Executive Directors and the Executive Officers. The loss of services of our
Executive Chairman and CEO, our Executive Director and CEO or any of the Executive Officers
without suitable and timely replacement, or the inability to attract and retain other qualified
personnel would have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance.

45

RISK FACTORS
Our operations are dependent on our ability to retain and recruit skilled personnel and
professional staff
The business of our Group requires skilled personnel and professional staff in the areas of
quarrying and production of limestone, operations, engineering, finance and accounting.
Competition for such skilled personnel and professional staff is intense and comes primarily from
similar businesses active in the industry, many of which possess greater resources. Limitations on
our ability to hire, train and retain the required number of skilled personnel and professional staff
would reduce our capacity to undertake further projects and may have an adverse impact on the
operations, results and growth of our Group.
We may be exposed to risk of loss and potential liabilities that may not be covered or
adequately covered by insurance
Certain liabilities and risks in respect of the business, operations and assets of our Group may not
be covered or adequately covered by insurance for a variety of reasons such as acts of God, theft
and robbery. In the event that we are not insured or are inadequately insured against losses,
damage or liabilities, the financial performance our Group will be adversely affected. Please refer
to the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Insurance of this
Offer Document for further details on our existing insurance coverage.
We are exposed to the creditworthiness of our customers
Our performance is dependent on the creditworthiness of our customers. Material default in
payment by our major customers may adversely affect our financial performance and cash flow.
We are unable to assure that there will be no risk of default by our customers in the future, or that
we will not experience cash flow problems as a result of such default. If these events occur, our
business may be adversely affected.
Since the commencement of our operations till the Latest Practicable Date, there has been no
incident of default by our customers in their payments.
We face intense competition from our competitors
We face competition from both domestic and foreign competitors who are also engaged in similar
businesses. Certain competitors may have access to more resources, be better-positioned to
pursue new expansion and development opportunities and/or possess competitive advantages,
including control over or access to low-cost raw materials, access to low-cost credit, geographical
proximity to suppliers or customers and relationships with global market participants. These
competitors may also compete with us for skilled labour required for our limestone quarrying
operations.
In the event that we may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors, both the sales
and the pricing of our products may be adversely affected, which in turn may have an adverse
effect on our business and financial performance.

46

RISK FACTORS
We will record further losses from fair value adjustments to the derivative financial
instruments relating to the Convertible Loan Agreements and we have negative working
capital and negative cash flow from operating activities for the Period Under Review
In January, April & August 2014, our Company had entered into the Convertible Loan Agreements
with the Pre-Placement Investors for an aggregate amount of S$18.8 million (the Convertible
Loan). Subsequently on 2 May 2014, GPF (Delta) had converted a portion of the Convertible
Loan amounting to S$4.0 million into shares. As at 30 September 2014, our Group recorded
MYR29.5 million in derivative financial instruments which represent the initial recognition of the
derivative component of the Convertible Loan that relates to the Pre-Placement Investors right to
convert the Convertible Loan into Shares. No fair value adjustments were made as at 30
September 2014, as the fair value of the derivative financial instruments approximates its values
at initial recognition. In compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards, subsequent
to the initial recognition, the derivative financial instruments are to be measured at fair value with
changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss which are non-cash in nature. Pursuant to our
Companys Listing on the SGX-ST, it is likely that the changes in fair value will be recorded as a
loss and as a result, our Group will record further losses due to the fair value adjustments on the
derivative financial instruments.
Please refer to the section entitled Capitalisation and Indebtedness of this Offer Document for
further details on the Convertible Loan, Appendix B entitled Audited Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements for the Nine-month Period Ended 30 September 2014 of this Offer
Document for further details in respect of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments and
Appendix C entitled Unaudited pro forma Financial Information for the Financial Year Ended 31
December 2013 and the Nine-month Period ended 30 September 2014 of this Offer Document for
details on the pro forma loss on conversion of the Convertible Loan.
Our Company had negative working capital as at the end of the Period Under Review. Our
negative working capital was due mainly to the use of short term financing to fund our capital
expenditures. As such, we are subject to the risk that our current assets will be insufficient to meet
our obligations under the current liabilities. In such event, additional capital, debt or other forms
of financing may be required for our working capital. If any of the aforesaid events occur and we
do not have sufficient internal resources and are unable for any reason, to raise additional capital,
debt or other financing for our working capital requirements, our business, operating results,
liquidity and financial position will be adversely affected.
Furthermore, our Company had negative cash flow from operations as at the end of the Period
Under Review. Our negative cash flow from operations was due mainly to loss before tax recorded
as we had only commenced production in June 2014 and revenue generated was not large
enough to cover our expenses.
Please refer to the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Position of this Offer Document for further details.
Terrorist attacks, armed conflicts, and/or outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS), avian influenza, H1N1, H7N9, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus
(MERS-CoV), Ebola virus disease (EVD) and/or other communicable diseases, may
affect the markets in which we operate and our business and operations
The effects of terrorist attacks or armed conflicts may materially and adversely affect our business
or those of our suppliers or customers. Such terrorist attacks or armed conflicts could have an
adverse effect on our limestone business. Political and economic instability in some regions of the
47

RISK FACTORS
world may also result from such terrorist attacks and armed conflicts, and could negatively impact
our business. The consequences of any of these terrorist attacks or armed conflicts are
unpredictable, and we are not able to foresee such events that could have an adverse impact on
our limestone business. An outbreak of contagious disease may have an adverse effect on the
economies of certain Asian countries and may materially and adversely affect our limestone
business.
For example, in the first half of 2003, certain countries in Asia experienced an outbreak of SARS,
a highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia. In 2009, there was a global outbreak of a new
strain of influenza A virus sub-type H1N1. In the last few years, large parts of Asia experienced
unprecedented outbreaks of avian flu. In 2013, a deadly strain of influenza A virus sub-type H7N9
was reported in the Peoples Republic of China. These infectious diseases seriously interrupted
economic activities and general demand for goods plummeted in the affected regions.
In similar vein, a new strand of virus called MERS-CoV, which also causes acute respiratory
illness, was discovered in 2012. In April 2014, the Ministry of Health in Malaysia reported its first
confirmed case of MERS-CoV. Nonetheless, as the global MERS-CoV situation is still unfolding,
it is uncertain the full impact the infection can have on the economies of Asian countries.
There can be no assurance that an outbreak of SARS, avian flu, H1N1, H7N9, MERS-CoV, EVD
or other contagious diseases, or the measures taken by the governments of affected countries
against such potential outbreaks, will not seriously interrupt our operations or those of our
contractors, suppliers and/or customers. This, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our
business. The perception that there may be a recurrence of an outbreak of SARS, avian flu, H1N1,
H7N9, MERS-CoV, EVD or other contagious diseases may also have an adverse effect on the
economic conditions of countries in Asia and accordingly, our business.
Our business may be adversely affected by recent developments in the global markets
Since the global economic downturn in late 2008, there have been negative developments in the
global financial markets including the downgrading by major international credit rating agencies of
sovereign debts issued by some of the European Union member countries and the difficult
conditions in the global credit and capital markets. These challenging market conditions have
given rise to reduced liquidity, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads, lack of price
transparency in credit markets, a reduction in available financing, government intervention and
lack of market confidence. These factors, combined with declining business and consumer
confidence, have resulted in global economic uncertainties.
It is difficult to predict how long these developments will last. Further, there can be no assurance
that measures implemented by governments around the world to stabilise the credit and capital
markets will improve market confidence and the overall credit environment and economy. A global
economic downturn could adversely affect our ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing.
It could also result in an increase in the cost of our bank borrowings and reduction in the amount
of banking facilities currently available to us. The inability of our Group to access capital efficiently,
on time, or at all, as a result of possible economic difficulties, may have an adverse effect on our
business. Any deterioration in the global economy could in turn adversely affect the health of the
local economy and impact our business.
In the event that the global economic conditions do not improve or any recovery is halted or
reversed, our business may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATING TO OUR OPERATIONS IN MALAYSIA
We are subject to the Malaysian regulatory regime for the limestone industry
Our operations are subject to a range of Malaysian laws, regulations, policies, guidelines,
standards and requirements in relation to, among other things, quarry development, production,
taxation, labour standards, occupational health and safety, waste treatment and environmental
protection and operation management.
For example, Gridlands existing quarrying right over the lands known as PN 258390, Lot 302284,
Sungai Raya, Kinta and PN 380610, Lot 332220 Sungai Raya, Kinta, Perak is evidenced by a
removal of mineral licence in its favour issued by the Director of Lands and Mines of Perak
pursuant to the Mineral (Perak) Enactment 2003. Such licence shall be valid only till 31 December
2015. In the event that Gridland is unable to renew its licences and Hyper Act is not able to procure
and renew the relevant licences, our Group will not be able to carry out the activities of quarrying
and processing limestone, and our operations, financial condition and future growth will be
adversely affected.
In addition, any changes to the laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements
concerning any of the aforesaid matters (including any change to the policy regarding the grant
of the quarry lease or quarrying rights in Malaysia that is unfavourable to our Group) or to the
interpretation or enforcement thereof may increase our operating costs and/or may affect our
Group adversely.
There is no assurance that we will be able to comply with any new Malaysian laws, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements applicable to the limestone industry or any changes in
existing laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements economically or at all. Further,
any such new Malaysian laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements or any such
change in existing laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements may also constrain our
future expansion plans and adversely affect the profitability of our Group.
Our business is subject to political, economic, regulatory and social conditions in Malaysia
We are currently operating our business in Malaysia. Our business operations are therefore
dependent on the political, economic, regulatory and social conditions in Malaysia. Any changes
in the policies implemented by the government of Malaysia which may result in currency and
interest rate fluctuations, inflation, capital restrictions, price and wage controls, expropriation and
changes in taxes and duties detrimental to our business may materially affect our operations,
financial performance and future growth. In particular, in the event of expropriation, we may not
be able to continue our business as we would not be able to enforce any quarrying or exploration
rights we had obtained or receive any compensation for the loss of such quarrying or exploration
rights. Unfavourable changes in the social, economic and political conditions of Malaysia or in the
Malaysian government policies in the future may have a negative impact on the operations and
business in Malaysia, which will in turn adversely affect the overall financial performance of our
Group. In addition, Malaysia foreign exchange control may limit our ability to utilise our cash
effectively and affect our ability to receive dividends and other payments from our Malaysian
subsidiaries.
We are subject to the foreign exchange legislation and regulations in Malaysia
Local and foreign investors are subject to foreign exchange administration rules in Malaysia.
Pursuant to the Financial Services Act 2013 and Islamic Financial Services Act 2013, Bank
Negara Malaysia, which is the central bank of Malaysia (Bank Negara) has issued notices
49

RISK FACTORS
(Notices) which embody its general permissions and directions in respect of remittance of funds
to and from Malaysia. The Notices set out the circumstances in which the specific approval of
Bank Negara need not be obtained by residents and non-residents to remit funds to and from
Malaysia. These Notices are reviewed regularly by Bank Negara in line with the changing
environment. As at the Latest Practicable Date, foreign investors are free to repatriate divestment
proceeds, profits, dividends or any income arising from investments in Malaysia. Any future
restriction by the Notices on repatriation of funds may limit our ability on dividends distribution to
the Shareholders from business operations in Malaysia.
There is no assurance that the relevant rules and regulations on foreign exchange control in
Malaysia will not change. In the event that there is any adverse change in the foreign exchange
rules and regulations relating to the borrowing or repatriation of foreign currency, our business and
results of operation may be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES
Investment in shares quoted on Catalist involves a higher degree of risk and can be less
liquid than shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST
An application has been made for our Shares to be listed for quotation on Catalist, a listing
platform designed primarily for fast-growing and emerging or smaller companies to which a higher
investment risk tends to be attached as compared to larger or more established companies listed
on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. An investment in shares quoted on Catalist may carry a higher
risk than an investment in shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. Catalist was newly
formed in December 2007 and the future success and liquidity in the market of our Shares cannot
be guaranteed.
There is no prior market for our Shares and the Placement may not result in an active or
liquid market for our Shares
Prior to this Placement, there has been no public market for our Shares. Although we have made
an application to the SGX-ST to list our Shares on Catalist, there is no assurance that an active
trading market for our Shares will develop or if developed, be sustained after the Placement.
There is also no assurance that the market price for our Shares will not decline below the
Placement Price. The market price of our Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations as
investors sentiments may be affected by external factors such as the outbreak of war, escalation
of hostilities or outbreak of infectious diseases (whether in Singapore or elsewhere). Other factors
including the liquidity of our Shares in the market, differences between our actual financial or
operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, the general market conditions
and broad market fluctuations may also result in significant fluctuations in the market price of our
Shares.
Our Share price may be volatile in future which could result in substantial losses for
investors subscribing for Shares pursuant to the Placement
The trading price of our Shares may fluctuate significantly and rapidly after the Placement as a
result of, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
(a)

variations of our operating results;

(b)

changes in securities analysts recommendations, perceptions or estimates of our financial


performance;

(c)

announcements made by us of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures;


50

RISK FACTORS
(d)

additions or departures of key personnel;

(e)

fluctuations in stock market prices and volume;

(f)

involvement in litigation; and

(g)

changes in general economic and stock market conditions.

Future sale, availability or issuance of Shares could adversely affect our Share price
Any future sale, availability or issuance of a large number of our Shares can have a downward
pressure on our Share price. The sale of a significant amount of Shares in the public market after
the Placement, or the perception that such sales may occur, could materially and adversely affect
the market price of our Shares. These factors also affect our ability to sell additional equity
securities. Except as otherwise described in the section entitled Share Capital Moratorium of
this Offer Document, there will be no restriction on the ability of our existing Shareholders to sell
their Shares either on Catalist or otherwise.
In addition, our Share price may be under downward pressure if certain Shareholders sell their
Shares upon the expiry of their moratorium periods.
Negative publicity which includes those relating to any of our Directors, Executive Officers
or Substantial Shareholders may adversely affect our Share price
Negative publicity or announcements relating to our Group and any of our Directors, Executive
Officers or Substantial Shareholders may adversely affect the market perception or the Share
performance of our Share, whether or not it is justified. Examples of these include unsuccessful
attempts in joint ventures, acquisitions or takeovers, or involvement in insolvency proceedings.
As a significant portion of our operations and assets are located outside Singapore,
investors may find it difficult to enforce a Singapore judgment against our Group or
management
A significant portion of our Groups operations and assets are located outside Singapore.
Accordingly, Shareholders may encounter difficulties in effecting service of process in Singapore
if they wish to make a claim against our Group, or the enforcement of a Singapore judgement
against the assets of our Group.
Investors in our Shares would face immediate and substantial dilution in the NAV per Share
and may experience future dilution
Our Placement Price of S$0.23 is higher than our Groups pro forma NAV per Share of 3.3 cents
based on the post-Placement issued share capital. If we were liquidated immediately following this
Placement on the basis of our NAV, each investor subscribing to this Placement would receive
less than the price they paid for their Shares. Please refer to the section entitled Dilution of this
Offer Document for details of the immediate dilution of our Shares incurred by new investors.
In addition, we may issue share awards under the GCCP Performance Share Plan and share
options under the GCCP Employee Share Option Scheme. To the extent that such share awards
and/or share options are ultimately granted and Award Shares or Option Shares are issued
pursuant to such grant, there may be further dilution to investors participating in the Placement.

51

RISK FACTORS
Further details of the GCCP Performance Share Plan and the GCCP Employee Share Option
Scheme are described in the section entitled GCCP Performance Share Plan and GCCP
Employee Share Option Scheme of this Offer Document.
We may not be able to pay dividends in the future
Our ability to declare dividends to our Shareholders will depend on our future financial
performance and distributable reserves of our Company. Our Companys future financial
performance and distributable reserves depend on several factors, such as the successful
implementation of our strategies, the general economic conditions, demand for and selling prices
of our products and services. Many of these factors may be beyond our control. As such, there is
no assurance that our Company will be able to pay dividends to our Shareholders after the
completion of the Placement. In the event that any company in our Group enters into any loan
agreements in the future, covenants therein may also limit when and how much dividends it can
declare and pay.
We are a Cayman Islands incorporated company and the rights and protection accorded to
our shareholders may not be the same as those of other jurisdictions
Our Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company and is subject to
the Cayman Companies Law. We will also have to comply with the Catalist Rules upon our
admission to the Catalist. The Companies Act may provide shareholders of Singapore
incorporated companies certain rights and protection of which there may be no corresponding
rights or protections under the Cayman Companies Law. As such, if you invest in our Shares, you
may or may not be accorded the same level of shareholder rights and protection that a
shareholder of a Singapore incorporated company would be accorded under the Companies Act.
The rights of our shareholders and the responsibilities of our management and the Board of
Directors under Cayman Islands law may be different from those applicable to a company
incorporated in another jurisdiction, including Singapore and Malaysia. Our corporate affairs are
governed by our Articles, the Cayman Companies Law and the common law of the Cayman
Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands relating to the protection of the interests of minority
shareholders are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The
common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent
in the Cayman Islands as well as that from English common law, which has persuasive, but not
binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands relating to
the protection of the interests of minority shareholders may differ in some respects from those
established under statutes and under judicial precedents in Singapore or other jurisdictions. Our
public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in connection with
actions taken by our management, members of our Board of Directors or our principal
shareholders than they would as shareholders of a company incorporated in another jurisdiction.

acquisitions, joint ventures or the formation of strategic alliances.
Pending the deployment of the net proceeds from the Placement, the funds will be placed in
deposits with banks and financial institutions or invested in money market instruments or used for
our working capital requirements as our Directors may deem fit at their absolute discretion.
We will make periodic announcements on the use of the net proceeds from the Placement as and
when the funds are materially disbursed, and provide a status report on the use of the proceeds

regarding its anticipated expenditures. Actual expenditures may vary from these estimates and we
will announce the reasons for such deviations. Our Company may find it necessary or advisable
to reallocate the net proceeds within the categories described above or to use portions of the net
proceeds for other purposes and in the event that our Company decides to reallocate the net

DIVIDEND POLICY
Our Company has not declared or paid any dividends since its incorporation and our subsidiaries
have not declared or paid any dividends in the Period Under Review.
We currently do not have a fixed dividend policy as we are not profitable. As and when we are
profitable, and if we determine it to be in the best interests of our Company and the Shareholders,
we may declare dividends by way of an ordinary resolution of our Shareholders a general meeting,
but may not pay dividends in excess of the amount recommended by our Board of Directors. The
declaration and payment of dividends will be determined at the sole discretion of our Directors,
subject to the approval of our Shareholders. There can be no assurance that dividends will be paid
in the future and the amount of dividends declared and paid by us in the past should not be taken
as an indicant of the dividends payable in the future.
The form, frequency and amount of future dividends on our Shares will depend on our earnings,
general financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, cash flow, general
business condition, our development plans and other factors as our Directors may, in their
absolute discretion, deem appropriate (Dividend Factors).
Subject to the Cayman Companies Law and the Articles, we may declare an annual dividend
subject to the approval of our Shareholders in a general meeting but the amount of such dividend
shall not exceed the amount recommended by our Directors. Our Directors may also declare an
interim dividend without the approval of our Shareholders.
Our ability to declare and pay dividends will be dependent on our cash income, the cash available,
our results, financial condition, other cash requirements including capital expenditures, our
borrowing arrangements and other contractual restrictions applicable, and restrictions under
applicable laws, rules and/or regulations. Further details as to the restrictions are also set out in
the section entitled Risk Factors We may be unable to pay dividends in the future of this Offer
Document.
However, investors should note that all foregoing statements, are merely statements of our
present intention and shall not constitute legally binding statements in respect of our future
dividends, which may be subject to modification (including reduction or non-declaration thereof)
in our Directors sole and absolute discretion. No inference should or can be made from any of the
foregoing statements as to our actual future profitability or ability to pay dividends in any of the
periods discussed. The form, frequency and amount of future dividends will depend on the
Dividend Factors.
For information relating to taxes payable on dividends, please refer to the section entitled
Taxation of this Offer Document.

The Company entered into the Convertible Loan Agreements with the Pre-Placement Investors for
an aggregate amount of S$18.8 million at an interest rate of 16.0% per annum that converts into
ordinary fully paid shares upon our Company listing on the SGX-ST. One of the Pre-Placement
Investors had converted the Convertible Loan with a nominal value of S$4.0 million into Shares
on 2 May 2014.

66

CAPITALISATION AND INDEBTEDNESS


The Convertible Loans are extended to the Company on the condition that pledge documents are
duly executed by the Company where the Company shall pledge its shares in Gridland and Hyper
Act to the convertible loan holders as security for the fulfilment of the Companys obligations to
the loan holders. The pledge documents contain a term to the effect that the pledge shall be
discharged within seven (7) business days of the conversion or the repayment of all outstanding
payments under the Convertible Loan Agreements.
The term of the Convertible Loan Agreements is 24 months from the drawdown date where the
right to convert is at a conversion price which ranges from 50.0% to 65.0% of the target valuation
of S$200 million divided by the number of Shares prior to conversion. The holders have the right
to demand repayment if the Company does not complete an initial public offering on the SGX-ST
after 24 months from the drawdown date or abort the process for the application of the initial public
offering.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no material changes to our capitalisation and
indebtedness as disclosed above, save for changes in our reserves arising from the day-to-day
operations in the ordinary course of our business.
As at the date of this Offer Document, the Convertible Loan has been converted into Shares and
the pledges have been discharged.

loan which could materially affect our financial position and results or business operations, or the

DILUTION
Dilution is the amount by which the Placement Price paid by the subscribers of our Shares in this
Placement exceeds our NAV per Share immediately after the Placement. Our pro forma NAV per
Share as at 30 September 2014, after adjusting for the Conversion but before adjusting for the
estimated net proceeds due to our Company from the Placement and based on our Companys
pre-Placement issued and paid-up share capital of 1,071,432,933 Shares, was approximately 1.5
cents per Share.
Pursuant to the Placement in respect of, inter alia, 122,000,000 Placement Shares at the
Placement Price, our pro forma NAV per Share as at 30 September 2014, after adjusting for the
Conversion, and the estimated net proceeds due to our Company from the Placement and based
on our Companys post-Placement issued and paid up share capital of 1,193,432,933 Shares
would have been approximately 3.3 cents. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma
NAV per Share of approximately 1.8 cents to our existing Shareholders and an immediate dilution
in NAV per Share of approximately 19.7 cents or approximately 85.7% to our new public investors.
The following table illustrates the dilution on a per Share basis as at 30 September 2014:

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited pro forma financial information is arrived at based on the assumptions that the
significant events set out below have taken place on 1 January 2013 for the year ended 31
December 2013 and 1 January 2014 for the nine months ended 30 September 2014:
(a)

our Company entered into the Convertible Loan Agreements with the Pre-Placement
Investors for an aggregate amount of S$18.8 million at an interest rate of 16.0% per annum
that converts into ordinary fully paid shares upon our Company listing on the SGX-ST. One
of the Pre-Placement Investors had converted the Convertible Loan with a nominal value of
S$4.0 million into Shares on 2 May 2014.
The term of the Convertible Loan Agreements is 24 months from the drawdown date. The
holders have the right to demand repayment if the Company does not complete an initial
public offering on the SGX-ST after 24 months from the drawdown date or abort the process
for the application of the initial public offering. For the purpose of the pro forma adjustments,
our Company is assumed to be listed on the SGX-ST in March 2015 and the Convertible
Loan is assumed to convert into ordinary fully paid shares. This results in a loss on
conversion of S$16.4 million; and

(b)

our Company issued an aggregate of 200 Shares pursuant to step 7 of the Restructuring
Exercise for MYR5.0 million pursuant to a capitalisation of loans owing to a Director.

OVERVIEW
Our Group is principally engaged in the business of quarrying and processing of limestone by
crushing the quarried limestone into varying particle sizes as required by our customers. Our
business operations are principally located in Simpang Pulai, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.
Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group of this
Offer Document for more details on our Group.
Revenue
Prior to FY2012, our Group was engaged in the ad-hoc trading of minerals where Gridland sold
iron ore and coal to our customers, Ann Joo Integrated Steel Sdn Bhd and Hap Seng Clay
Products Sdn Bhd respectively. Our Group ceased the business in trading minerials in end of
2012. Thereafter, our Group became principally engaged in the business of quarrying and
processing of limestone for sale through our Gridland Quarry. As such, our past financial
performance attributable to the ad-hoc trading of iron ore and coal bears no relation to, and
provides no indication as to our future financial performance in the business of quarrying and
processing of limestone.
For FY2013 and 9M2014, our Groups main focus was on the preparation, exploration and
development of our Gridland Quarry where quarrying of limestone began in January 2013. The
extracted limestone was stockpiled in anticipation of the commissioning of the Gridland Crushing
Plant, which will be used to further process the extracted limestone. The Gridland Crushing Plant
was commissioned in May 2014 and production of crushed limestone commenced in June 2014.
Our Group recorded its first sale to a third-party customer, Pulai Rock Industries Sdn Bhd, in June
2014.
In June 2014, our Group completed the acquisition of the Hyper Act Quarry. As at the Latest
Practicable Date, preparation work on the Hyper Act Quarry is ongoing. Our Group estimates the
commencement of stockpiling of limestone and commencement of production to be on or around
the second half of 2015. Upon the commencement of production, our Group will derive further
revenue from the sale of limestone from the Hyper Act Quarry.

not generate gross profit in FY2013 and 9M2013 as there was no revenue in FY2013 and 9M2013
respectively. In FY2013, our Group had ceased the business in trading minerials and only
commenced production of crushed limestone in June 2014.
Other income
Other income comprised mainly of the interest received for the fixed deposits placed in the bank

million, MYR0.4 million, MYR0.3 million and MYR2.8 million in FY2011, FY2012, FY2013, 9M2013
and 9M2014 respectively.
Taxation
For the Period Under Review, our Group was subjected to income taxation in Malaysia. The
Malaysian statutory corporate tax rate during the Period Under Review was 25.0%.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Breakdown of our past performance by business division and geographical regions
Our Group is principally engaged in the business of quarrying and processing of limestone which
commenced in FY2013. Prior to FY2012, our Group was engaged in the business of trading
minerals which were ad-hoc transactions. Our Group has since focused on its limestone quarrying
and processing business which is principally located in Malaysia. Accordingly, a segmentation of
our financial performance by business division and geographical regions will not be meaningful.
REVIEW OF PAST PERFORMANCE
Reconciliation of the audited and pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive
income for FY2013
In FY2013, our Group recorded a loss before income tax of MYR2.3 million. Our Group will record
a pro forma loss before income tax of MYR51.7 million. The increase in loss before tax of
MYR49.4 million is mainly due to:
(a)

the interest accrual of MYR6.8 million of the Convertible Loan which assumes the
Conversion of the Convertible Loan occurring in March 2015. The finance cost relates to the
accretion of the carrying amount of the liability component to the principal amount of the
Convertible Loan; and

(b)

the accounting treatment for the loss on the Conversion of the Convertible Loan into Shares
at a conversion price which ranges from 50.0% to 65.0% of the target valuation of S$200
million divided by the number of Shares prior to Conversion.

Reconciliation of the audited and pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive


income for 9M2014
In 9M2014, our Group recorded a loss before income tax of MYR10.7 million. Our Group will
record a pro forma loss before income tax of MYR57.0 million. The increase in loss before tax of
MYR46.3 million is mainly due to:
(a)

the interest accrual of MYR4.1 million of the Convertible Loan which assumes the
Conversion of the Convertible Loan occurring in March 2015. The finance cost relates to the
accretion of the carrying amount of the liability component to the principal amount of the
Convertible Loan; and

million divided by the number of Shares prior to Conversion.

FY2011 vs FY2012
Revenue
Our Group was mainly engaged in the business of trading minerals in FY2011 and FY2012. Our
total revenue increased by approximately MYR5.4 million or 234.8% from MYR2.3 million in
FY2011 to MYR7.7 million in FY2012. This increase was mainly due to the increase in demand of
iron ore from our sole customer and also the additional sale of coal in FY2012.
Cost of sales
Our cost of sales increased by MYR5.5 million or 343.8% from MYR1.6 million in FY2011 to
MYR7.1 million in FY2012. This increase was mainly due to the increase in sales of iron ore and
the additional sale of coal in FY2012.
Gross profit and margin
Our gross profit decreased by approximately MYR0.1 million or 14.3% from MYR0.7 million in
FY2011 to MYR0.6 million in FY2012. This decrease was due to a lower margin generated from
the sale of iron ore as a result of the volatility of iron ore prices and higher cost of sales.
Consequently, the gross profit margin decreased from 30.7% in FY2011 to 7.2% in FY2012.
Other income
Our other income decreased by MYR26,074 or 52.7%, from MYR49,475 in FY2011 to MYR23,401
in FY2012. This was due to our Group recording a lower interest arising from the part-withdrawal
of our fixed deposits and a one-off interest received for the retention sum from the prior year. In
FY2012, our Group further recorded MYR12,711 as a result of a gain on disposal of property, plant
and equipment. There was no such gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment in FY2011.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased by MYR1.1 million or 157.1% from MYR0.7
million in FY2011 to MYR1.8 million in FY2012. The increase was mainly due to the increase in
salary and wages, sales commission paid to third parties and expenses such as sub-contractor
wages, blasting expenses and expenses from the maintenance and rental of various heavy
equipments and machinery for the building of infrastructure at the Gridland Quarry.
Finance costs
Finance costs decreased by MYR0.1 million or 25.0% from MYR0.4 million in FY2011 to MYR0.3
million in FY2012 mainly due to the reduction in term loans.

86

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Loss before tax
As a result of the above, loss before tax increased by approximately MYR1.2 million or 300.0%
from MYR0.4 million in FY2011 to MYR1.6 million in FY2012.
FY2012 vs FY2013
Revenue
Our revenue for FY2012 was MYR7.7 million which was generated from our Groups prior
business in trading minerals. There was no revenue in FY2013 because our Group had ceased the
business in trading minerals to focus on the preparation, exploration and development of quarry
site. Our Group only commenced production of crushed limestone in June 2014.
Cost of sales
Our cost of sales for FY2012 was MYR7.1 million which was due to raw material purchases of iron
ore and coal. There was no cost of sales in FY2013 as the production of our crushed limestone
had not commenced. Expenses related to the preparation, exploration and development of the
Gridland Quarry were charged as general and administrative expenses.
Gross profit and margin
Our gross profit and gross profit margin for FY2012 was MYR0.6 million and 7.2% respectively.
There was no gross profit in FY2013 as the production of our crushed limestone had not
commenced.
Other income
Our other income increased by MYR2,701 or 11.5% from MYR23,401 in FY2012 to MYR26,102 in
FY2013. This was mainly due to a higher interest income arising from the increase in our fixed
deposits pledged to the bank to obtain further financing.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased by MYR0.1 million or 5.6% from MYR1.8
million in FY2012 to MYR1.9 million in FY2013. The increase was mainly due to the expenses
incurred for the preparation, exploration and development of the Gridland Quarry because of the
rental of extra machinery as well as the increase in salary and wages. There was no sales
commission paid in FY2013 as there was no sales for that year.
Finance costs
Finance costs increased by MYR0.1 million or 33.3% from MYR0.3 million in FY2012 to MYR0.4
million in FY2013 mainly due to the increased financing of the Gridland Quarry through bank
overdrafts and term loans as our Group began to focus on the preparation, exploration and
development of the Gridland Quarry.

87

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Loss before tax

Our other income increased by MYR163,896 or 1,227.4%, from MYR13,353 in 9M2013 to
MYR177,249 in 9M2014. This was mainly due to foreign exchange gains arising from the
proceeds of the Convertible Loan.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased by MYR6.9 million or 530.8% from MYR1.3
million in 9M2013 to MYR8.2 million in 9M2014. The increase was mainly due to the preparation,
exploration and development of the Gridland Quarry, and expenses relating to the preparation for
the Listing.
Finance costs
Finance costs increased by MYR2.5 million or 833.3% from MYR0.3 million in 9M2013 to MYR2.8
million in 9M2014 mainly due to the accretion of carrying amount of liability component to the
principal amount of convertible loan.
Loss before tax

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has two (2) sources of cash categorised as internal
and external sources. Internal sources refer to cash generated from our Groups operating
activities. External sources of funds comprise mainly borrowings and capital investment from
financial institutions, shareholders, directors and investors. The principal uses of these cash
sources are to finance purchases, capital expenditure and operating expenses such as staffrelated expenses, rental, professional fees and administrative expenses.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group had cash and cash equivalents of MYR5.8 million.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group had total banking facilities of MYR4.3 million which
are unutilised. Please refer to the section entitled Capitalisation and Indebtedness of this Offer
Document for further details.
In view of the foregoing and after taking into consideration of the following:
(a)

to demonstrate his commitment to our Group, our Groups Executive Chairman and CEO,
Alex Loo, capitalised his shareholders loan of MYR5.0 million to strengthen the Groups
working capital position. This has improved our Groups capitalisation and lowered our
gearing, enabling our Group better access to external borrowings if required;

(b)

subsequent to 31 December 2013, our Group managed to raise an aggregate of S$18.8


million from the Pre-Placement Investors through the Convertible Loan Agreements;

(c)

as at 30 September 2014, our Group has repaid a loan of MYR2.0 million. As at the Latest
Practicable Date, our Group has a facility of MYR4.3 million which has not been utilised. As
such, our Group believes that it is able to obtain additional borrowings if required;

(d)

while the Gridland Quarry has only begun production in June 2014, our Group estimates that
production and sales will be self-sustaining in providing positive cash flows in FY2015; and

(e)

the preparatory works on the Hyper Act Quarry are on-going. Completion of preparatory
works and commencement of stockpiling of limestone is estimated to be completed within the
second half of 2015. Thereafter, our Group will be able to generate additional revenue and
operating cash flows from the commencement of production at the Hyper Act Quarry, which
will improve the working capital position of our Group.

Our Directors are of the reasonable opinion that, after taking into consideration the above and
having made due and careful enquiry and after taking into account the expected cash flows
generated from our Groups operations, our Groups banking facilities and our Groups existing
cash at banks and on hand, the working capital available to our Group as at the date of lodgement
of this Offer Document is sufficient for present requirements and for at least 18 months after the
Listing of our Group on Catalist.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period includes cash at banks and on hand, and bank overdrafts. Cash
at banks and on hand amounted to MYR3,234, MYR3,623, MYR0.1 million, and MYR18.3 million for FY2011,
FY2012, FY2013, and 9M2014 respectively. Bank overdrafts amounted to MYR0.7 million, MYR2.1 million, and
MYR2.1 million for FY2011, FY2012 and FY2013 respectively. There is no bank overdraft for 9M2014.

FY2011
In FY2011, we recorded a net cash outflow from operating activities of MYR1.0 million, which was
a result of operating cash inflows before changes in working capital of MYR0.4 million adjusted for
working capital outflows of MYR0.9 million and net interest paid of MYR0.4 million. The decrease
in net working capital was mainly due to the following:
(a)

increase in trade and other receivables of MYR1.0 million; and

(b)

increase in prepayments of MYR3,798;

which was partially offset by:


(c)

increase in trade and other payables of MYR89,905.

Net cash outflow from investing activity of MYR0.2 million was due to purchases of property, plant
and equipment.

93

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Net cash inflow generated from financing activities of MYR0.4 million was due to the proceeds
from term loans of MYR0.6 million. This was partially offset by the repayment of term loans of
MYR0.2 million, repayment of hire purchase of MYR5,552 and placement of pledged deposits of
MYR9,891.
As at 31 December 2011, our cash and cash equivalents were an overdraft of MYR0.7 million.
FY2012
In FY2012, we recorded a net cash inflow from operating activities of MYR1.3 million, which was
a result of operating cash outflow before changes in working capital of MYR0.8 million adjusted
for working capital inflows of MYR2.5 million, net interest paid of MYR0.3 million and income tax
paid of MYR43,885. The increase in net working capital was mainly due to the following:
(a)

decrease in trade and other receivables of MYR2.4 million; and

(b)

increase in trade and other payables of MYR46,495;

which was partially offset by:


(c)

decrease in accrued operating expenses of MYR10,263.

Net cash outflow from investing activities of MYR0.2 million, which was due to the purchase of
property, plant and equipment. This was partially offset by proceeds from disposals of plant,
property and equipment of MYR94,940.
Net cash outflow from financing activities of MYR2.4 million which was due to the repayment of
term loans of MYR4.0 million, repayment of hire purchases of MYR0.2 million and the placement
of pledged deposits of MYR0.2 million. This was partially offset by proceeds from term loans of
MYR2.0 million.
As at 31 December 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were an overdraft of MYR2.1 million.
FY2013
In FY2013, we recorded a net cash inflow from operating activities of MYR7.1 million, which was
a result of operating cash outflows before changes in working capital of MYR0.7 million adjusted
for working capital inflows of MYR9.0 million, exploration expenditure of MYR0.7 million and net
interest paid of MYR0.4 million. The increase in net working capital was mainly due to the
following:
(a)

increase in trade and other receivables of MYR2.3 million;

(b)

increase in trade and other payables of MYR6.5 million; and

fluctuations. We will also put in place, where necessary, procedures to hedge our exposure to
foreign currency fluctuations. Such procedures will be reviewed and approved by our Audit
Committee and our Board.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


The following discussion on our Groups limestone exploration and quarrying activities should be
read in conjunction with Appendix F entitled Independent Qualified Persons Report of this Offer
Document.
HISTORY
Our Company is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 1 November 2013.
In preparation for our listing, we undertook the Restructuring Exercise whereby our Company
acquired the entire shareholding interest in Gridland and Hyper Act and became the holding
company of our Group. Please refer to the section entitled Restructuring Exercise of this Offer
Document for further details.
Our Group originated with the incorporation of Gridland in Malaysia in February 2009 by our
Executive Chairman and CEO, Alex Loo, who had identified potential in the Malaysian limestone
industry. Gridland acquired the Gridland Quarry in October 2009, which is a limestone quarry of
approximately 25 acres situated in Perak, Malaysia, from Kayangan Prinsip Sdn Bhd for a
consideration of MYR5.0 million which was satisfied in cash. Kayangan Prinsip Sdn Bhd is a third
party and is not related to the Directors, Substantial Shareholders or Key Executives of our
Company. The Gridland Quarry is located in close proximity to quicklime processing companies
that utilise crushed limestone produced by our Group. For further details on the Gridland Quarry,
please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Our
Quarries of this Offer Document.
Since the acquisition of the Gridland Quarry, our Group has spent significant time and effort in
preparing the quarry for production, taking steps such as reclaiming sections of the land and
carrying out piling and foundation works for the crushing plant for the Gridland Quarry (Gridland
Crushing Plant) and an electrical substation, benching works and construction of working
platforms on the limestone hill for limestone quarrying, and acquiring equipment and vehicles such
as the Gridland Crushing Plant, excavators and wheel loaders which are necessary for the
production to take place. The costs for the preparatory works and the acquisition were largely
funded by our Executive Chairman and CEO, Alex Loo, which demonstrates his commitment
towards our Groups business. The period of preparation had also allowed our Groups
management team to learn about and acquire hands-on experience in respect of the limestone
industry. Our Group, recognising the technical nature of limestone production, had also engaged
Steve Loh, a mining consultant with more than 40 years of experience in quarrying and to the best
of the knowledge of our Directors is as at the Latest Practicable Date a quarry consultant for 44
out of the 66 operating quarries in Perak, Malaysia to provide advice to our Group on statutory
obligations in respect of the relevant licences, permits and approvals for Gridland and Hyper Act.
In addition to the preparatory works, our management team, in particular our Executive Chairman
and CEO, Alex Loo, with a view towards developing networks in the limestone industry, has been
establishing and maintaining close interactions with limestone industry players.

99

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Prior to the commencement of the quarrying of limestone from the Gridland Quarry, our Group was
engaged in ad-hoc trading of iron ore and coal in FY2011 and FY2012. Our Group commenced the
quarrying of limestone from the Gridland Quarry in January 2013 and with such commencement,
our Group ceased the trading of iron ore and coal to focus on its limestone quarrying and
processing business. The quarried limestone was stockpiled in anticipation of the commissioning
of the Gridland Crushing Plant, which will be used to further process the quarried limestone by
breaking it down into various particle sizes of up to 90.0mm, as required by our customers who
are typically parties who require our limestone for the manufacture of PCC. The Gridland Crushing
Plant was commissioned in May 2014 and our Groups production of crushed limestone
commenced in June 2014. Our Group has, as at the Latest Practicable Date, produced
approximately 111,148t of crushed limestone.
In June 2014, as part of our Groups plans to become a market leader in the limestone industry
in Malaysia, our Group acquired the Hyper Act Quarry, a limestone quarry of 60 acres situated in
Perak, Malaysia, which is located approximately 3.3km away from the Gridland Quarry from
Virgo-Up Ventures Sdn Bhd, Yayasan Bina Upaya Darul Ridzuan, Konsep Tuah Sdn Bhd, Shafarra
Trade, Travel & Services Sdn Bhd and YBU Holdings Sdn Bhd (collectively, the Hyper Act
Vendors), for an aggregate consideration of MYR9.0 million which was fully satisfied in cash. The
Hyper Act Vendors are third parties who are not related to the Directors, Substantial Shareholders
or Key Executives of our Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, preparatory works on the
Hyper Act Quarry are on-going. Our Group has applied for and is pending approvals for the
relevant business licences, approvals and permits for the Hyper Act Quarry which include, inter
alia, the removal of mineral licence from the Department of Lands and Mines of Perak.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Our Group is principally engaged in the business of quarrying and the processing of limestone by
crushing the quarried limestone into varying particle sizes as required by our customers. Our
business operations are principally located in Simpang Pulai, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.
Our Group, through the Gridland Quarry, produces crushed limestone of varying particle sizes of
up to 90.0mm that are sold to our customers who are typically parties who require our crushed
limestone for the manufacture of PCC. The Gridland Quarry commenced production of crushed
limestone in June 2014 and has a production capacity of up to 40,000t of crushed limestone per
month. For further details on our quarries and our limestone reserves, please refer to the section
entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Our Quarries of this Offer
Document.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group is in the process of undertaking the preparatory work
involved in making the Hyper Act Quarry operational, in particular the construction of a crushing
plant (Hyper Act Crushing Plant) and limestone powder production plant (Powder Plant). Our
Group intends to, subsequent to the receipt of approvals by the relevant authorities and the
completion of the construction of the Hyper Act Crushing Plant and Powder Plant, produce
crushed limestone of varying particle sizes of up to 100.0mm and limestone powder, both of which
will be sold to customers to produce GCC. For further details on the Hyper Act Quarry, our
limestone reserves and our development plans for the Hyper Act Quarry, please refer to the
sections entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Our Quarries and
General Information on our Company and our Group Business Strategies and Future Plans of
this Offer Document respectively.

LIMESTONE AND ITS USES
Limestone is a calcium carbonate rock, which is a granular or crystalline rock formed by biological
and chemical precipitation of calcium carbonate from seawater, normally deposited close to its site
of formation.
Calcium carbonate rocks can be divided into two (2) types based on their commercial production
methods:
(a)

ground calcium carbonate (GCC), which is produced by crushing and grinding a carbonate
rock, such as limestone; and

(b)

precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), which is made by:


(i)

converting limestone to quicklime and carbon dioxide by carbonisation at high


temperature;

(ii)

adding water to turn quicklime into hydrated lime; and

(iii) converting hydrated lime into PCC by carbonisation.


PCC and GCC are used in, or in the manufacturing processes for, many products, such as:

adhesives;

animal feed;

carriers for insecticides and herbicides;

ceramics;

cleaning products;

elastomers;

fertilisers;

foodstuff;

glass;

paints;

paper;

plastics;

pharmaceuticals;

rubber;

sealants;

toiletries; and

water treatment.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


WORK PROCESS
The following diagrammatic depiction generally represents our work process for the Gridland
Quarry and Hyper Act Quarry (subsequent to the receipt of approval by the relevant authorities
and commencement of production) as at the Latest Practicable Date:
Quarrying

Processing

Sale

Quarrying
Quarrying consists of removing blocks or pieces of stone from an identified and unearthed
geologic deposit. Differences in the particular quarrying techniques used often stems from
variations in the physical properties of the deposit itself (such as density, fracturing/bedding
planes and depth), financial considerations, and the site owners preference.
In summary, the quarrying process involves the following steps:
(a)

locating or creating minimal breaks in the stone;

(b)

removing the stone using heavy machinery;

(c)

securing the stone on a vehicle for transport; and

(d)

moving the material to storage.

There are two (2) types of quarrying operation methods which can be implemented smoothly. They
are the open-cast quarrying method and the basement quarrying method. These two (2) types of
quarrying operations are similar except that an open-cast quarrying method develops upwards
and downwards and the basement quarrying method develops downwards. The relevant permit
which the Group has, enables the Group to implement the open-cast quarrying method or the
basement quarrying method, depending on the stage of quarrying which the Group is in for the
particular quarry it is conducting the quarrying work.
In order for quarrying works to commence, there would be a need to gain access to the limestone
deposit. This is achieved by removing the layer of earth, vegetation and rock unsuitable for the
final limestone product, which are collectively referred to as overburden, with heavy equipment
that is mostly coupled with small explosive charges. The overburden is then transferred to onsite
storage for potential use in later reclamation of the site.
After the face of the limestone is exposed, the stone is removed from the quarry in benches using
a variety of techniques suitable to the geology and characteristics of the limestone deposit.
Benches typically have a height and depth equating to eight (8) to 12 ft and length of 20 ft or more.

106

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Quarrying operations typically include drilling holes along the perimeter of the bench followed by
installation of explosive charges to initiate blasting which is typically carried out in a controlled
manner to obtain the rocks. Primary blasting will be used to fracture the rocks initially followed by
secondary or boulder blasting to further fracture the rocks. Primary and secondary blasting is
usually conducted separately. Such blasting operations are typically carried out twice a week and
once a week for primary blasting and secondary blasting respectively. The installation of such
explosive charges and the blasting work is carried out by an independent consultant.
Once the bench is blasted loose from the deposit, heavy equipment is used to lift the limestone
and transfer to temporary storage.
Processing
Processing is based on well-established methods of crushing, screening and roller and ball
milling. The important properties in dry processing include the density, particle size, particle
shape, surface treatment and brightness.
Our crushing plant consists of four (4) main sections primary crushing section, primary stockpile,
secondary crushing system and final product stockpile. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the
crushing capacity of our Gridland Crushing Plant is approximately 240.0t per hour.
The general procedures for processing begin with the breaking of extracted limestone with heavy
machinery at temporary storage site. The limestone is then transported to the initial stage of the
crushing plant at the dump hopper. Processing commences with the limestone entering the
primary crushing stage through a jaw crusher where the stones are crushed to a size suitable for
secondary crushing. Waste rocks and crushed limestone of smaller sizes are sieved out using
vibrating screens prior to the primary stockpile.
The conveyor belts in the crushing plant then transport the stones to a secondary crusher for
further processing into specific sizes, which are again segregated using a vibrating screen. The
final product is then sent to temporary storage prior to transport to customers. Excess/waste rocks
are stored onsite for further uses such as landfill or sold to consumers in the agricultural and
construction industry.
Sale
We enter into sale arrangements directly with our customers. We may in future enter into
limestone off-take agreements with limestone consumers.

(1)

The maximum production capacity during the financial periods under review were calculated based on an average
production rate of 240.0t per hour, the aggregate eight (8) hours work shift per day for 21 operating days per month.

(2)

Our Group is in the initial stages of production and has not been operating at full capacity. Actual production is
anticipated to increase as our Group ramps up production after the first few months of operation.

(3)

The utilisation rates were computed using actual volumes of crushed limestone produced divided by the estimated
maximum production capacity.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
We place great emphasis on the quality of our crushed limestone. We believe that having an
established quality management system is one of the main factors contributing to our success and
reputation of quality products.
We monitor the quality of our limestone through on-site inspections at the quarries. Samples of
crushed limestone are collected once a month from our stockpiles at the quarries and analysed
by sending to third party laboratories for chemical composition, colour and brightness. It is
anticipated that Hyper Act would have its own laboratory and such testing may be conducted
in-house.
Our quality assurance processes are led by a quarry manager. He is responsible for overseeing
the various inspections conducted on-site and at the crusher plants. As at the Latest Practicable
Date, the quarry manager is assisted by two (2) workers.
During the period 1 October 2014 to the Latest Practicable Date, we have not received any
significant complaints from customers of our crushed limestone.
OUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS
We sell our crushed limestone of various sizes to domestic customers.
In June 2014, our Group commenced production of crushed limestone. As at the Latest
Practicable Date, our Group has two (2) customers, namely Limetreat Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of
NSL Chemicals Sdn Bhd, and Pulai Rock Industries Sdn Bhd.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


We generally do not enter into long-term or exclusive agreements with any of our major
customers. Our Group is not materially dependent on any contract with any major customer and
customers for our crushed limestone can be sourced from the market without significant
difficulties. Since the commencement of production in June 2014 to the Latest Practicable Date,
we have sold 6,178t of crushed limestone to Pulai Rock Industries Sdn Bhd and have invoiced
15,000t of crushed limestone to Limetreat Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of NSL Chemicals Sdn Bhd
pursuant to purchase orders.
During the Period Under Review and prior to the commencement of the limestone quarrying and
processing business of our Group, Gridland sold iron ore to Ann Joo Integrated Steel Sdn Bhd and
coal to Hap Seng Clay Products Sdn Bhd, with the total sales amounting to approximately MYR7.6
million. The sales of iron ore and coal were ad-hoc transactions and Gridland has since focused
on its limestone quarrying and processing business.
As at the date of this Offer Document, none of our Directors, Substantial Shareholders or their
respective Associates has any interest (direct or indirect) with any customer.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Credit terms offered to our customers
We generally require our customers to make payment within 30 days from their collection of our
crushed limestone. Nonetheless, in the event that customers request for more favourable credit
terms, our Company will assess the credit terms to be offered to customers on a case-by-case
basis and such credit terms offered will take into account, inter alia, the creditworthiness of the
customer, as well as the size and regularity of the customers purchases.
Our average trade receivables turnover days for the Period Under Review were as follows:

As our Group commenced production in June 2014, we have recorded trade receivables for only four (4) months in
9M2014.

In FY2011, our trade receivables were mainly due to proceeds from the sale of iron ore and were
not relevant to our current business. Our trade receivables in 9M2014 are due to the sales of our
crushed limestone.
As we commenced production in June 2014, we have recorded trade receivables for only four (4)
months in 9M2014. Our trade receivables (net of impairment loss on trade receivables) as at 30
September 2014 amounted to MYR0.2 million and the trade receivables ageing schedule as at 30

Save for the above, during the Period Under Review, all outstanding trade receivables from third
parties were collected within the credit period extended. No provisions for bad debts were made.
Credit terms granted by our suppliers
In general, the credit period stipulated in the contracts signed between our Group and our
suppliers is within 30 days of delivery of goods and services. It is not meaningful to calculate the
trade payables turnover days of our Group for the Period Under Review as the expenditure
incurred by our Group during the Period Under Review was not of a trading nature.

Average trade payables turnover days (1)


Note:
(1)

As our Group commenced production in June 2014, we have recorded trade payables for only four (4) months in
9M2014.

In FY2011, our trade payables were mainly attributable to cost of iron ore purchased and were not
relevant to our current business. Our trade payables in 9M2014 are due to the production of our
crushed limestone.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
It is not meaningful to calculate the inventory turnover days of our Group for the Period Under
Review in line with the absence of significant sales of our Group for such period.
Due to the nature of our business and the time required to extract and remove limestone from the
quarries, we typically require our customers to provide a notice period of approximately one (1)
to two (2) months for the delivery of our crushed limestone, depending on the size of the order.
As such, contracts are typically entered into in advance and the actual delivery of our crushed
limestone takes place approximately one (1) to two (2) months from the date the contract was
entered into.
SALES AND MARKETING
Our Executive Chairman and CEO, Alex Loo and our Executive Director and COO, Pang Kim Chon
oversee the sales and marketing aspects of our Group which covers our domestic sales and
exports and are assisted by a business development manager. Presently, the sales and marketing
of our Group include (i) formulating sales and marketing strategies; (ii) establishing and
maintaining relationships with new and existing customers; and (iii) direct marketing, trade fairs
and conferences. We intend to set up a sales and marketing department and to hire a manager
to oversee the department.
From time to time, we are also approached directly by customers.
INSURANCE
For the Period Under Review and for the period commencing from 1 October 2014 up to the Latest
Practicable Date, we were in compliance with applicable Malaysia laws, rules and regulations
obtaining insurance for our employees.
For our office and other working premises, we have maintained insurance policies which cover
such premises for losses due to fire. As for staff and employees, we have taken up policies
including social security insurance. For our limestone quarrying operations, we have taken up
policies such as public liability, motor equipment and equipment all-risks insurance.

111

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Our Directors are of the view that our Groups business and operations are sufficiently covered by
the current insurance policies taken up. We periodically review and assess our risks and make
necessary adjustments to our insurance coverage to meet our needs and comply with industry
practice in Malaysia.

Workplace safety and health measures


The Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA) applies throughout Malaysia in the
industries specified in its First Schedule of OSHA, which includes the quarrying industry.
The OSHA makes provisions for securing the safety, health and welfare of persons at work, for
protecting others against risks to safety or health in connection with the activities of persons at
work, and to promote an occupational environment for persons at work which is adapted to their
physiological and psychological needs.
It shall be the duty of every employer to conduct its undertaking in such a manner as to ensure,
so far as is practicable, that it and other persons, not being its employees, who may be affected
are not thereby exposed to risks to their safety or health.
Pursuant to OSHA, all employers with 40 or more employees at the place of work (or as the
Director General of Occupational Safety and Health directs) must establish a safety and health
committee to more effectively promote and develop safety and health measures for employees at
the place of work. More specific duties of the employers are laid out in the Occupational Safety
and Health (Safety and Health Officer) Regulations 1997 (the OSHA Regulations). It is also
required of a company under the OSHA to appoint a safety and health officer (Safety and Health
Officer) who is required to possess such qualifications or have received such training as
prescribed under the OSHA Regulations. The Safety and Health Officer is required to submit a
monthly report pertaining to the safety and health activities carried out by the company to the
Department of Occupational Safety and Health.
The OSHA also requires a company to notify the nearest occupational safety and health office of
any accident, dangerous occurrence, occupational poisoning or occupational disease which has
occurred or is likely to occur at the place of work.

115

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


A company is also required to prepare a chemical health risk assessment report and keep a
register of chemicals hazardous to health in accordance to the Occupational Safety and Health
(Use and Standards of Exposure of Chemicals Hazardous to Health) Regulations 2000.
The failure to comply with the requirements of OSHA and its regulations is an offence which may
result in liability in fines, terms of imprisonment or both.
Requirements under the Factories and Machinery Act 1967 (FMA)
The FMA provides for the control of factories with respect to matters relating to the safety, health
and welfare of person therein, the registration and inspection of the machinery and for matters
connected therewith. It regulates factories and machinery by way of registration and examination
of such machinery to ensure the maintenance of safety, health and the welfare of all persons.
The FMA requires all machinery to be of sound construction and sound material, free from defect
and suitable for the purpose and shall be properly maintained.
Pursuant to the FMA, no person shall operate any machinery in respect of which a certificate of
fitness is required (such as steam boiler, unfired pressure vessel and hoisting machine) unless a
valid certificate of fitness is in force. Further, no person shall install or caused to be installed any
machinery in any factory or any machinery in respect of which a certificate of fitness is prescribed,
except with the written approval of Chief Inspector of Factories and Machinery.
The FMA also requires any person who intends to use any premises as a factory to submit a
prescribed form to the Chief Inspector of Factories and Machineries one (1) month prior to the
commencement of use of the premises as a factory. Every factory is also required to keep a
factory general register in accordance with Section 38 of the FMA.
The failure to comply with the requirements under the FMA and its regulations is an offence which
may result in liability in fines, terms of imprisonment or both.
Use of explosives
Blasting is a regulated activity in Malaysia. Section 20 of the Quarry Rules provides that no
explosives shall be brought into, stored in, placed in, moved about or used in any quarry except
of such standard, in such places, in such quantities, in such manner and under such conditions
as shall be approved.
Additional approval is required pursuant to the Explosives Act 1957 which governs the
manufacture, use, sale, storage, transport, import and export of explosives. Hence, unless
exempted, a permit is required for the purchase, sale or possession of any explosive and the
Royal Malaysia Police is the licensing authority for issuing such permit and, or licence.

117

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


During the Period Under Review, our staff training costs were not material.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Companys policy in respect of environmental protection and community development is to
develop and manage its quarrying operations with an aim to maximise its compliance with the
environmental regulations, as set out in the section entitled General Information on our Company
and our Group Government Regulations of this Offer Document, and minimise any harm to the
environment while remaining sensitive to local cultural and community expectations.
Our Group has made efforts to integrate with the local population in the vicinity where our Gridland
Quarry and Hyper Act Quarry are located and to assist them in social and economic development.
We have provided the local community with employment opportunities, as well as training and
skills development for our local staff and provided business opportunities for local businesses. We
are also developing a corporate social responsibility policy which will formally address our Groups
impact on the local community.
Our Group will make disclosure of our Groups policies and practices in relation to operating in a
sustainable manner in its annual report, including but not limited to, its environmental and social
responsibility policies, in compliance with Rule 1204(23)(c) and Practice Note 4C of the Catalist
Rules.
SAFETY POLICY
Due to the nature of our business, incidents that may have detrimental effects on the health and
safety of our workers and the condition of our machinery and equipment may occur from time to
time. Our Group aims to operate our business in such a manner that all reasonable and
practicable measures will be taken to protect our workers and the condition of our machinery and
equipment from such detrimental effects. In order for our Group to achieve our aim, our Group has
an existing set of environmental, health and safety policies to protect the health and safety of our
staff and workers and maintain the good working condition of our machinery and equipment.
Since the commencement of our operations till the Latest Practicable Date, no accidents that have
resulted in death or serious injuries have occurred at the quarrying site operated by our Group.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our Group has not incurred any expenditure on research and development activities for the Period
Under Review and for the period commencing from 1 October 2014 up to the Latest Practicable
Date.
COMPETITION
Given the clear geographical demarcation of limestone quarrying rights and licences and the
distinct quality of the limestone of different quarries, quarrying companies in general do not
compete directly with one another in terms of the supply or source of limestone.
However, in selling our crushed limestone of varying sizes, we will compete with other producers
of limestone products of a similar nature, quality and/or for a similar usage. In general, limestones
of different brightness complement rather than compete with each other.

118

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


We anticipate that our main competitors will be domestic limestone quarrying companies and/or
limestone product producers as follows:
Quarry

Main Competitor

Gridland Quarry

PCC-grade crushed limestone


(particle size of 90mm and

Danshak Sdn. Bhd.

Hyper Act Quarry

GCC-grade limestone powder

Imerys Minerals Malaysia Sdn Bhd


Omya Malaysia Sdn Bhd
Zantat Sdn Bhd

We believe that we are able to provide limestone products which meet our customers needs and
preferences when competing with limestone products from our competitors.
To the best of our Directors knowledge, there are no published statistics that can be used to
accurately measure the market share of our business.
COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
We have one of the biggest GCC-grade limestone reserves and resources in Malaysia
Based on the Independent Qualified Persons Report, our Group has approximately 26.3Mt of Ore
Reserves, and approximately 186Mt of total Measured and Indicated Resources of limestone. In
particular, the Hyper Act Quarry which has approximately 22.0Mt of Ore Reserves, and
approximately 160Mt of total Measured and Indicated Resources of GCC-grade limestone. Our
Directors believe our Group holds one of the biggest GCC-grade limestone deposits in Malaysia,
which is used in the production of GCC products.
Our current production plan for the Hyper Act Quarry is to reach full production and produce
approximately 3.5Mt of GCC-grade crushed limestone and limestone powder in 2017, sufficient to
provide a constant supply of such crushed limestone and limestone powder.
Given that limestone, being a natural resource and having to be extracted from existing or newly
discovered limestone quarries, is limited in supply and growing in demand. Our Directors believe
that having one of the biggest limestone reserves in Malaysia will make us one of the few
limestone producers in Malaysia that is able to meet the growing demand of GCC-grade and
PCC-grade limestone.

119

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Our limestone is of PCC-grade and GCC-grade
Based on the Independent Qualified Persons Report, the quality of the reserves in the Gridland
Quarry and Hyper Act Quarry are of PCC-grade and GCC-grade respectively, with the calcium
carbonate content of the limestone reserves being higher than 96.0% for both quarries and the
average ISO brightness value from samples analysed from the Hyper Act Quarry is 94.7.
Assuming that the chemical properties of the limestone extracted exhibit the qualities set out in the
Independent Qualified Persons Report, the crushed limestone from the quarries will be suitable
for further processing into PCC and GCC products and use in a wide range of industries such as,
among others, paper, paints, plastics, rubber, adhesives, sealants and pharmaceuticals. For
further details on the potential uses of our limestone, please refer to the section entitled General
Information on our Company and our Group Limestone and its Uses of this Offer Document.
We have an experienced and competent management team
Our Group is led by a dedicated and experienced management team, helmed by our Executive
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Alex Loo, who is a seasoned entrepreneur with experience
in the minerals industry. He is also assisted by Executive Director and COO, Pang Kim Chon and
our Director of Operations (Gridland), Loh Heng Kwai, as well as an experienced team of
production staff.
Our Gridland Quarry and Hyper Act Quarry are easily accessible and conveniently located
Our Gridland Quarry and Hyper Act Quarry are situated close to ports, airports, highways and rail
systems which enable us to expedite delivery of our products conveniently and efficiently
compared to our competitors who do not enjoy similar proximity to such transport infrastructure
and many of our potential customers, which affords us transport cost-savings and efficiencies. We
are also situated close to our potential customers, of which a significant number we anticipate to
be based in Malaysia, which also affords us transport cost savings and provides us with a
competitive edge over our competitors who may be located in other parts of the world.
We have strong working relationships with contractors and/or consultants
We believe that we have been able to achieve cost efficiencies in the production of crushed
limestone for sale largely from our strong working relationships with our contractors and/or
consultants which are leading players in Malaysia in their respective niche markets. Such
contractors and/or consultants have offered their services and provided technical support to our
Group at competitive prices.

This is lower than the forecast growth in global GDP of 4.5% p.a. to 2016, largely because of the
substitution or replacement with other minerals. Paper will continue to be the largest market for
both forms of calcium carbonate but growth is expected to be limited by low levels of demand in
developed economies and the increasing use of digital media. Higher growth rates are expected
in adhesives/sealants (5.0% p.a.) and plastics (4.6% p.a.).

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Growth will be led by plastics, particularly PVC, and China. The adhesives and sealants markets
is also forecasted to show strong growth overall, which is expected to be concentrated in Asia,
particularly China. In other sectors, growth in demand for GCC is expected to average <4.0% p.a.,
due to competition with other minerals and because outside Asia these markets are mature. Paper
will remain the major market but the rise in Asian demand will be partly offset by much lower
growth in Europe and North America. In these two regions, the paper industry is suffering from
overcapacity and GCC competes with kaolin, though to a declining degree, and PCC.
Demand for GCC is forecast to be increasingly concentrated in Asia. Growth rates in Europe and
North America are expected to be much lower, with details shown in the table below.

126

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group
Industry Overview of the Offer Document for further details.
Price outlook is positive
Based on estimates published by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in the Mineral
Commodity Summaries 2012 and 2014 (1), prices of quicklime increased from US$84.6/Mt in 2007
to US$116/Mt in 2013. The prices of hydrated lime increased from US$102.4/Mt in 2007 to
US$138/Mt in 2013 and similarly, the prices of crushed limestone increased from US$8.58/Mt to
US$9.75/Mt in 2013.
Accordingly, our Directors expect prices of limestone to trend upwards in the near-term due to the
increase of consumption of limestone and limestone products.
Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group
Industry Overview of the Offer Document for further details.
Growth of the limestone powder business in Malaysia
Malaysia has a well-developed industry for the production of limestone powder, the raw material
of which is GCC-grade crushed limestone. Our Directors anticipate that there will be an increase
in the production of limestone powder in Malaysia which will correspondingly increase demand for
our crushed limestone.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND FUTURE PLANS


Development of the Hyper Act Quarry
As part of our Groups development plan for the Hyper Act Quarry, we intend to:
(a)

acquire a plot of land in the vicinity of the Hyper Act Quarry, on which we intend to set up the
limestone production facility for the Hyper Act Quarry, which includes, inter alia, a workshop,
site office and an electrical substation (Plant Site);

(b)

commission the construction of the Hyper Act Crushing Plant, a 1,000t per hour crushing
plant, which is to be situated at the Plant Site; and

(c)

commission the construction of the Powder Plant, a limestone powder production plant

(collectively, the Development Plan).

127

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


The Development Plan will be undertaken in the following phases:
(i)

Plant Site and Hyper Act Crushing Plant Phase


The commencement and completion of the acquisition of the Plant Site is anticipated to be
in the first and second quarter of 2015 respectively and the completion of the preparatory
work on the Plant Site to make the same operationally ready for quarrying is anticipated to
be on or about second half of 2015.
Construction of the Hyper Act Crushing Plant is expected to commence on or about first half
of 2015 and the same is expected to be operational in the second half of 2015. The Hyper
Act Crushing Plant is expected to increase our Groups production capacity by 1,000t of
crushed limestone per hour.
The total capital expenditure for the Plant Site and the Hyper Act Crushing Plant is
approximately MYR17.2 million.

(ii)

Powder Plant Phase


Construction of the Powder Plant is anticipated to commence in the first half of 2015 and the
same is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2016. The Powder Plant is expected
to have an initial production capacity of 20,000t of limestone powder per month.
The total capital expenditure for the Plant Site and the Hyper Act Crushing Plant is
approximately MYR193.1 million.

In aggregate, the estimated capital expenditure for the Development Plan is approximately
MYR210.3 million. We have earmarked approximately S$15.0 million (or the equivalent of
MYR40.2 million) of the proceeds to the Placement to be used to fund the Development Plan.
For further details on the estimated capital expenditure for the Development Plan, please refer to
Appendix F entitled Independent Qualified Persons Report of this Offer Document.
The Independent Geologist and the Independent Valuer have reviewed the development plans as
disclosed above, and have opined that they are satisfied with, and have no comments to, such
plans and phases, and the capital expenditure for each such phase, for our Company to
commence production.
For further details on the Hyper Act Quarry, please refer to the section entitled General
Information on our Company and our Group Our Quarries of this Offer Document.
Further exploration activities to increase limestone resources and output
We intend to carry out further exploration activities such as geological mapping, rock sampling,
drilling activities, excavating and tunnelling, collection and analysis of exploration data and
exploring and locating new deposits within specific areas permitted for exploration.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we intend to engage a professional geological company
to survey the areas permitted for exploration and determine the quantity of limestone resources
present in these areas. The survey results will assist us to facilitate the increase of our Groups
limestone resources and enable us to plan our business operations to optimise efficiency.

128

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Acquisition of additional limestone quarries
We plan to continue to increase our limestone resources through possible strategic acquisitions
of limestone quarries and will evaluate acquisition opportunities as and when they arise. Currently,
our Group is not engaged in discussions with any party for acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic
alliances in connection with the foregoing. Should such opportunity arise, we will seek approval,
where necessary, from Shareholders and the relevant authorities as required by the relevant laws
and regulations.
Venture into the business of PCC production
We may consider expanding our scope of business to be a producer of PCC in the future. By virtue
of being a producer of PCC-grade crushed limestone, a primary raw material for PCC, we would
have greater ability to control our costs as a producer of PCC. Venturing into the business of PCC
production would allow us to enjoy the relatively higher profit margins, compared to the sale of
PCC-grade crushed limestone, from the sale of PCC.
In connection with such intention, we may acquire machinery and equipment required for the
production of PCC, such the kiln, carbonator, dryer and centrifuge, among others. Alternatively,
should the opportunity arise, we may acquire other PCC processing facilities that are already in
operation. In the event we venture into the business of PCC production, we will comply with any
law, regulations or other requirements which may be applicable to us and the business of PCC
production, including the Catalist Rules, at the material time prior to venturing into the business
of PCC production.
Establishing a broad customer base with strong customer relationships
Presently, we supply our products to domestic customers in Malaysia, many of whom require our
crushed limestone and/or limestone powder for the manufacture of PCC and GCC. We plan to
continue developing relationships with customers as well as distributors that have a strong track
record, established customer base and broad sales and marketing networks. We also intend to
increase customer and market exposure to our Group by attending industry forums, trade fairs and
exhibitions where we can establish communication with limestone industry participants, such as
manufacturers of paint and paper who can be potential direct customers for our crushed limestone
powder. We also intend to expand our customer base internationally as we recognise a demand
for our crushed limestone and limestone powder in countries such as China and India.
Maintaining safe and environmentally friendly quarrying operations
We plan to complement and support our quarrying operations with a safe and environmentally
friendly environment. We have established procedures relating to environmental, health and
safety issues. We will continue to organise relevant training and workshops for our employees,
formulate manuals and policies from the safety and environmental protection perspective, and
monitor the safety and environmental standards of our working environment.
ORDER BOOK
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group has conducted sales on a purchase order basis.
Therefore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no requirement to maintain an order book.

129

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP


Our Company intends to negotiate formal off-take or distribution agreements for our Groups
production, which include crushed limestone and limestone powder. Our Company will be required
to maintain an order book if it formalises such off-take or distribution agreements with its potential
customers.
TREND INFORMATION
Our Directors have observed the following trends based on the revenue and operations of our
Group as at the Latest Practicable Date:
(a)

Limestone, being a natural resource, and especially those of high-grade quality, is prone to
depletion due to extraction. As supply dwindles, the price of limestone will increase if demand
stays constant, and such increase will be greater with increased demand, which would lead
to an increase in prices of limestone;

(b)

We are in the development phase of the operations of the Hyper Act Quarry and a ramp-up
phase in respect of the operations of the Gridland Quarry. We expect our cost of operations
to materially increase with the commencement of our quarrying operations of the Hyper Act
Quarry and the increase of our operations in the Gridland Quarry; and

(c)

Costs of diesel, labour and electricity are expected to increase in the near future and in the
event our Group is unable to pass on all or part of such costs to our customers, such overall
increase in our costs of operations will result in lower profit margins for our Group.

Save as disclosed above in the sections entitled Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position, General Information on our Company
and our Group Prospects and General Information on our Company and our Group Business
Strategies and Future Plans of this Offer Document, and barring any unforeseen circumstances,
our Directors believe that there are no other significant recent known trends in the prices and
costs of our products and services, or any known uncertainties, demands, commitments or events
that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenue, profitability, liquidity and capital
resources. They are also not aware of any such trends that would cause the financial information
disclosed in this Offer Document to be not necessarily indicative of our future operating results or
financial condition. Please also refer to the section entitled Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking
Statements of this Offer Document for further details.

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
In conjunction with our listing on Catalist, we have adopted a performance share plan known as
the GCCP Performance Share Plan (the Performance Share Plan) and a share option scheme
known as the GCCP Employee Share Option Scheme (the ESOS), both of which were
approved by our Shareholders by way of written resolutions of our Shareholders passed on 26
February 2015. Please refer to Appendix I entitled Rules of the GCCP Performance Share Plan
and Appendix J entitled Rules of the GCCP Employee Share Option Scheme of this Offer
Document for further details.
Rationale
Both the Performance Share Plan and the ESOS will provide eligible participants (each a
Participant and collectively, the Participants) with an opportunity to participate in the equity
of our Company and to motivate them towards better performance through increased dedication
and loyalty. Both the Performance Share Plan and the ESOS form an integral component of our
compensation plan and are designed primarily to reward and retain employees whose services
are vital to the growth and performance of our Company and/or our Group.
The Performance Share Plan and ESOS are designed to complement each other. The aim of
implementing more than one incentive plan is to increase our Groups flexibility and effectiveness
in its continuing efforts to reward, retain and motivate employees to achieve better performance
by providing our Group with a more comprehensive set of remuneration tools and further
strengthen our competitiveness in attracting and retaining local and foreign talent.
Unlike the ESOS whereby Participants are required to pay for the exercise of the Options, the
Performance Share Plan allows our Group to provide an incentive for Participants to achieve
certain specific performance targets by awarding fully paid Shares to Participants after these
targets have been met.
In addition, the assessment criteria for granting Options under the ESOS are more general (for
example, based on length of service and general performance of our Group) and do not relate to
specific performance targets imposed by our Group. On the other hand, the assessment criteria
for granting of Awards (as described below) under the Performance Share Plan will be based on
specific performance targets or to impose time-based service conditions, or a combination of both.
As at the date of this Offer Document, no Options have been granted under the ESOS and no
Awards have been granted under the Performance Share Plan.
GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN
1.

Objectives of the Performance Share Plan


The main objectives of the Performance Share Plan are as follows:
(a)

to attract potential employees with relevant skills to contribute to our Group and to
create value for Shareholders;

(b)

to instill loyalty to, and a stronger identification by the Participants with the long-term
prosperity of, our Group;

143

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

2.

(c)

to motivate the Participants to optimise their performance standards and efficiency and
to maintain a high level of contribution to our Group;

(d)

to give recognition to the contributions made by the Participants to the success of our
Group; and

(e)

to retain key employees of our Group whose contributions are essential to the long-term
prosperity of our Group.

Summary Of Rules Of the Performance Share Plan


The following is a summary of the rules of the Performance Share Plan. Any capitalised term
as used throughout this section, unless otherwise defined, shall bear the meanings as
defined in Appendix I of this Offer Document.

2.1 Eligibility
The Performance Share Plan allows for participation by Group Employees (including Group
Executive Directors) and Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors) who
have attained the age of 21 years on or before the relevant date of Award provided that none
shall be an undischarged bankrupt at the relevant time, and who, in the absolute discretion
of the Remuneration Committee will be eligible to participate in the Performance Share Plan.
Controlling Shareholders or their Associates who meet the above eligibility criteria are
eligible to participate in the Performance Share Plan provided that (a) the participation of,
and (b) the terms of each grant and the actual number of Awards granted under the
Performance Share Plan to, a Participant who is a Controlling Shareholder or an Associate
of a Controlling Shareholder shall be approved by our independent Shareholders in separate
resolutions for each such person.
There shall be no restriction on the eligibility of any Participant to participate in any other
share incentive schemes or share plans implemented or to be implemented by our Company
or any other company within our Group.
Subject to the Cayman Companies Law and any requirement of the SGX-ST, the terms of
eligibility for participation in the Performance Share Plan may be amended from time to time
at the absolute discretion of the Remuneration Committee.
2.2 Awards
Awards represent the right of a Participant to receive fully paid Shares free of charge, upon
the Participant achieving the prescribed performance targets.
The selection of the Participants and the number of Shares which are the subject of each
Award to be granted to a Participant in accordance with the Performance Share Plan shall
be determined at the absolute discretion of the Remuneration Committee, which shall take
into account criteria such as, inter alia, the rank, scope of responsibilities, performance,
years of service and potential for future development and contribution to the success of our
Group.

144

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
In the case of a performance-related Award, the performance targets will be set by the
Remuneration Committee depending on each individual Participants job scope and
responsibilities. The performance targets to be set shall take into account both the medium
and long-term corporate objectives of our Group and the individual performance of the
Participant and will be aimed at sustaining long-term growth. The corporate objectives shall
cover market competitiveness, business growth and productivity growth. The performance
targets could be based on criteria such as sales growth, growth in earnings and returns on
investment. In addition, the Participants length of service with our Group, achievements of
past performance targets, ability to value-add to our Groups performance and development
and overall enhancement to Shareholder value, amongst others, will be taken into account.
Awards may be granted at any time in the course of a financial year, provided that in the
event that an announcement on any matter of an exceptional nature involving unpublished
price sensitive information is imminent, Awards may only be vested and hence any Shares
comprised in such Awards may only be delivered on or after the second Market Day from the
date on which the aforesaid announcement is made.
An Award letter confirming the Award will be sent to each Participant as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Award is finalised by the Committee, specifying, inter alia, in relation to
the Award:
(a)

(in relation to a performance-related Award), the performance targets and the


performance period during which the prescribed performance targets are to be met;

(b)

the number of Shares to be vested on the Participant; and

(c)

the date by which the Award shall be vested.

The Remuneration Committee will take into account various factors when determining the
method to arrive at the exact number of Shares comprised in an Award. Such factors include,
but are not limited to, the current price of the Shares, the total issued share capital of our
Company and the pre-determined Singapore dollar amount which the Remuneration
Committee decides that a Participant deserves for meeting his performance targets. For
example, Shares may be awarded based on predetermined Singapore dollar amounts such
that the quantum of Shares comprised in the Award is dependent on the closing price of the
Shares transacted on the Market Day that such Award is vested. Alternatively, the
Remuneration Committee may decide for absolute numbers of Shares to be awarded to
Participants irrespective of the price of the Shares. The Remuneration Committee shall
monitor the grant of Awards carefully to ensure that the size of the Performance Share Plan
will comply with the relevant Catalist Rules.
2.3 Size and duration of the Performance Share Plan
The total number of Shares which may be delivered pursuant to the vesting of Awards on any
date, when added to the aggregate number of Shares issued and/or issuable in respect of (i)
all Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan; (ii) all Options granted under the
ESOS; and (iii) all other Shares issued and/or issuable under any other share-based
incentive schemes or share plans of our Company, shall not exceed 15.0% of the total
number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) of our Company from time to time.

145

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
Our Directors believe that the size of the Performance Share Plan will give our Company
sufficient flexibility to decide the number of Shares to be offered under the Performance
Share Plan. However, it does not indicate that the Remuneration Committee will definitely
issue Shares up to the prescribed limit. The Remuneration Committee will exercise its
discretion in deciding the number of Shares to be granted to each Participant under the
Performance Share Plan. This, in turn, will depend on, and be commensurate with, the
performance and value of the Participant to our Group.
The aggregate number of Shares that are available to the Controlling Shareholders and their
Associates under the Performance Share Plan shall not exceed 25.0% of the total number of
Shares available under the Performance Share Plan. The number of Shares that are
available to each Controlling Shareholder or each of their Associates under the Performance
Share Plan shall not exceed 10.0% of the Shares available under the Performance Share
Plan.
The Performance Share Plan shall continue in force at the discretion of the Remuneration
Committee, subject to a maximum period of ten (10) years commencing on the date on which
the Performance Share Plan is adopted by our Company in by way of written resolutions,
provided always that the Performance Share Plan may continue beyond the above stipulated
period with the approval of our Shareholders by ordinary resolution in general meeting and
of any relevant authorities which may then be required.
Notwithstanding the expiry or termination of the Performance Share Plan, any Awards made
to Participants prior to such expiry or termination will continue to remain valid.
2.4 Operation of the Performance Share Plan
The Remuneration Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether performance
targets have been met (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and/or whether the
Participants performance and/or contribution to our Company and/or any of our subsidiaries
justifies the vesting of an Award. In making any such determination, the Remuneration
Committee shall have the right to make reference to the audited results of our Company or
our Group, as the case may be, to take into account such factors as the Remuneration
Committee may determine to be relevant, such as changes in accounting methods, taxes and
extraordinary events, and further, the right to amend the performance targets if the
Remuneration Committee decides that it would be a fairer measure of performance.
Awards may only be vested and consequently any Shares comprised in such Awards shall
only be delivered upon the Remuneration Committee being satisfied that the Participant has
achieved the performance targets.
Subject to the prevailing legislation and the provisions of the Catalist Rules, our Company
will be delivering Shares to Participants upon vesting of their Awards by way of an issue of
new Shares or the transfer of existing Shares held as treasury shares to the Participants. In
determining whether to issue new Shares or to purchase existing Shares for delivery to
Participants upon the vesting of their Awards, our Company will take into account factors
such as the number of Shares to be delivered, the prevailing market price of the Shares and
the financial effect on our Company of either issuing new Shares or purchasing existing
Shares.

146

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
new Shares allotted and issued on the release of an Award shall rank in full for all
entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect
of the then existing Shares, the record date for which is on or after the date of issue of the
new Shares or the date of transfer of treasury shares pursuant to the vesting of the Award,
and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue.
2.5 Adjustments and alterations under the Performance Share Plan
(i)

Variation of Capital
If a variation in the issued ordinary share capital of our Company, whether by way of a
capitalisation issue or other circumstances (for example, rights issue, capital reduction,
subdivision, consolidation of shares or distribution) shall take place, then:
(A)

the class and/or number of Shares which are the subject of an Award to the extent
not yet vested; and/or

(B)

the class and/or number of Shares over which future Awards may be granted under
the Performance Share Plan,

shall be adjusted by the Remuneration Committee to give each Participant the same
proportion of the equity capital of our Company as that to which he was previously
entitled and, in doing so, the Remuneration Committee shall determine, at its own
discretion, the manner in which such adjustment shall be made.
Unless the Remuneration Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate, the
following events shall not normally be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment:
(aa) the issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition or a private placement
of securities;
(bb) the cancellation of issued Shares purchased or acquired by our Company by way
of a market purchase of such Shares undertaken by our Company on the SGX-ST
during the period when a share purchase mandate granted by Shareholders
(including any renewal of such mandate) is in force;
(cc) the issue of Shares or other securities convertible into or with rights to acquire or
subscribe for Shares to its employees pursuant to any share option scheme or
share plan approved by Shareholders in general meeting, including the
Performance Share Plan; and
(dd) any issue of Shares arising from the exercise of any warrants or the conversion of
any convertible securities issued by our Company.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the rules of the Performance Share Plan:
(1)

the adjustment must be made in such a way that a Participant will not receive a
benefit that a Shareholder does not receive; and

(2)

any adjustment (except in relation to a capitalisation issue) must be confirmed in


writing by the Auditors (acting only as experts and not as arbitrators) to be in their
opinion, fair and reasonable.
147

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
(ii)

Modifications to the Performance Share Plan


Any or all the provisions of the Performance Share Plan may be modified and/or altered
at any time and from time to time by resolution of the Remuneration Committee,
provided that:
(A)

any modification or alteration which would be to the advantage of the Participants


under the Performance Share Plan shall be subject to the prior approval of
Shareholders in a general meeting; and

(B)

no modification or alteration shall be made without due compliance with the


Catalist Rules and such other regulatory authorities as may be necessary.

2.6 Reporting requirements


Under the Catalist Rules, an immediate announcement must be made on the date of the
grant of an Award and provide details of the grant, including the following:
(i)

date of grant;

(ii)

market price of the Shares on the date of grant of the Award;

(iii) number of Shares granted under the Award;


(iv) number of Shares granted to Directors under the Award, if any; and
(v)

the vesting period in relation to the Award.

The following disclosures (as applicable) will be made by our Company in our annual report
for so long as the Performance Share Plan continues in operation:
(A)

the names of the members of the Remuneration Committee administering the


Performance Share Plan;

(B)

in respect of the following Participants:


(1)

Directors of our Company; and

(2)

Participants (other than those in paragraph (B)(1) above) who have received
Shares pursuant to the vesting of Awards granted under the Performance Share
Plan which, in aggregate, represent 5.0% or more of the total number of Shares
available under the Performance Share Plan,

the following information will be required:


(AA) the name of the Participant;
(BB) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have been granted
to such Participant during the financial year under review;

148

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
(CC) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have been granted
to such Participant since the commencement of the Performance Share Plan to
the end of the financial year under review;
(DD) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have been issued
and/or transferred to such Participants pursuant to the vesting of Awards under
the Performance Share Plan since the commencement of the Performance Share
Plan to the end of the financial year under review; and
(EE) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have not been
vested as at the end of the financial year under review; and
(C) such other information as may be required by the Catalist Rules or the Cayman
Companies Law.
2.7 Role and composition of the Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Performance
Share Plan and shall consist of the Directors. As at the date of this Offer Document, the
Remuneration Committee comprises Dato Thomas Koh, Tan Eng Ann and Denys Collin
Munang.
The Remuneration Committee shall have the power, from time to time, to make and vary such
rules (not being inconsistent with the Performance Share Plan) for the implementation and
administration of the Performance Share Plan as they think fit including, but not limited to:
(i)

imposing restrictions on the number of Awards that may be vested within each financial
year; and

(ii)

amending performance targets, if by so doing it would be a fairer measure of


performance for a Participant or for the Performance Share Plan as a whole.

In compliance with the requirements of the Catalist Rules, any Participant of the Performance
Share Plan who is a member of the Remuneration Committee shall not be involved in the
deliberation or decision in respect of Awards granted to or to be granted to him.
2.8 Rationale for participation by the Controlling Shareholders and their Associates in the
Performance Share Plan
Our Company acknowledges that the services and contributions of employees who are
Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders are important to the
development and success of our Group. The extension of the Performance Share Plan to
confirmed full-time employees who are Controlling Shareholders and Associates of our
Controlling Shareholders allows our Group to have a fair and equitable system to reward
employees who have actively contributed to the progress and success of our Group. The
participation of the Controlling Shareholders and their Associates in the Performance Share
Plan will serve both as a reward to them for their dedicated services to our Group and a
motivation for them to take a long-term view of our Group.

149

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
Although Participants who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling
Shareholders may already have shareholding interests in our Company, the extension of the
Performance Share Plan to include them ensures that they are equally entitled, with the other
employees of our Group, who are not Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our
Controlling Shareholders, to take part and benefit from this system of remuneration. We are
of the view that a person who would otherwise be eligible should not be excluded from
participating in the Performance Share Plan solely by reason that he/she is a Controlling
Shareholder or an Associate of our Controlling Shareholders.
The specific approval of our independent Shareholders is required for the participation of
such persons as well as the actual number of and terms of such Awards. A separate
resolution must be passed for each such Participant. In seeking such approval from our
independent Shareholders, clear justification as to the participation of our Controlling
Shareholders and their Associates, the number of and terms of the Awards to be granted to
the Controlling Shareholders and their Associates shall be provided. Accordingly, we are of
the view that there are sufficient safeguards against any abuse of the Performance Share
Plan resulting from the participation of employees who are Associates of our Controlling
Shareholders.
2.9 Rationale for participation by Non-Executive Directors (including Independent
Directors)
While the Performance Share Plan caters principally to Group Employees, it is recognised
that there are other persons who make significant contributions to our Group through their
close working relationships with our Group, even though they are not employed within our
Group. Such persons include the Non-Executive Directors.
The Non-Executive Directors are persons from different professions and working
backgrounds, bringing to our Group their wealth of knowledge, experience, business
expertise and contacts in the business community. They play an important role in helping our
Group shape its business strategy by allowing our Group to draw on their diverse
backgrounds and working experience. It is crucial for our Group to attract, retain and
incentivise the Non-Executive Directors. By aligning the interests of the Non-Executive
Directors with the interests of our Shareholders, our Company aims to instill a sense of
commitment on the part of the Non-Executive Directors towards serving the short and
long-term objectives of our Group.
Our Directors are of the view that including the Non-Executive Directors in the Performance
Share Plan will show our Companys appreciation for them and further motivate them in their
contribution towards the success of our Group. However, as their services and contributions
cannot be measured in the same way as the full-time employees of our Group, while it is
desired that participation in the Performance Share Plan be made open to the Non-Executive
Directors, any Awards that may be granted to any such Non-Executive Director would be
intended only as a token of our Companys appreciation.

150

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
For the purpose of assessing the contributions of the Non-Executive Directors, the
Remuneration Committee will propose a performance framework comprising mainly nonfinancial performance measurement criteria, such as the extent of involvement and
responsibilities shouldered by the Non-Executive Directors. In addition, the Remuneration
Committee will also consider the scope of advice given, the number of contacts and size of
deals which our Group is able to procure from those contacts and recommendations made
by the Non-Executive Directors. The Remuneration Committee may also decide that no
Awards shall be made in any financial year or no grant and/or Award may be made at all.
It is envisaged that the vesting of Awards, and hence the number of Shares to be delivered
to the Non-Executive Directors based on the criteria set out above will be relatively small, in
terms of the frequency and numbers. Based on this, the Directors are of the view that the
participation by the Non-Executive Directors in the Performance Share Plan will not
compromise the independent status of those who are Independent Directors.
2.10 Financial Effects of the Performance Share Plan
Cost of Awards
International Financial Reporting Standard 2 (IFRS 2) relating to share-based payment took
effect for all listed companies from 1 January 2005. Participants will receive Shares and the
Awards would be accounted for as equity-settled share-based transactions, as described in
the following paragraphs.
The fair value of employee services received in exchange for the grant of the Awards will be
recognised as a charge to profit or loss over the period between the grant date and the
vesting date of an Award. The total amount of the charge over the vesting period is
determined by reference to the fair value of each Award granted at the grant date and the
number of Shares vested at the vesting date, with a corresponding credit to reserve account.
Before the end of the vesting period, at each accounting year end, the estimate of the
number of Awards that are expected to vest by the vesting date is subject to revision, and the
impact of the revised estimate will be recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding
adjustment to the reserve account. After the vesting date, no adjustment to the charge to
profit or loss is made. This accounting treatment has been referred to as the modified grant
date method because the number of Shares included in the determination of the expense
relating to employee services is adjusted to reflect the actual number of Shares that
eventually vest but no adjustment is made to changes in the fair value of the Shares since
the grant date.
The amount charged to profit or loss would be the same whether our Company settles the
Awards by issuing new Shares or by purchasing existing Shares. The amount of the charge
to profit or loss also depends on whether or not the performance target attached to an Award
is measured by reference to the market price of the Shares. This is known as a market
condition. If the performance target is a market condition, the probability of the performance
target being met is taken into account in estimating the fair value of the Award granted at the
grant date, and no adjustments to amounts charged to profit or loss are made if the market
condition is not met. However, if the performance target is not a market condition, the fair
value per Share of the Awards granted at the grant date is used to compute the amount to
be charged to profit or loss at each accounting date, based on an assessment at that date
of whether the non-market conditions would be met to enable the Awards to vest. Thus,
where the vesting conditions do not include a market condition, there would be no charge to
profit or loss if the Awards do not ultimately vest.
151

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
In the event that the Participants receive cash, our Company shall measure the fair value of
the liability at the grant date. Until the liability is settled, our Company shall re-measure the
fair value of the liability at each accounting date and at the date of settlement, with changes
in the fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Share capital
The Performance Share Plan will result in an increase in our Companys issued share capital
where new Shares are issued to Participants. The number of new Shares issued will depend
on, among others, the size of the Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan. In any
case, the Performance Share Plan provides that the number of shares to be issued under the
Performance Share Plan will be subject to a maximum limit of 15.0% of our total issued
Shares (excluding treasury shares). The aggregate number of Shares available under the
Performance Share Plan shall not exceed 15.0% of the total issued share capital of our
Company (excluding treasury shares) post-Placement and from time to time. If instead of
issuing new Shares to the Participants, treasury shares are transferred to Participants or our
Company pays the equivalent cash value, the Performance Share Plan would have no impact
on our Companys total number of issued Shares.
NTA
The Performance Share Plan will result in a charge to our Companys profit or loss over the
period from the grant date to the vesting date of the Awards. The amount of the charge will
be computed in accordance with IFRS 2. When the new Shares are issued under the
Performance Share Plan, there would be no effect on the NTA. However, if instead of issuing
new Shares to Participants, existing Shares are purchased for delivery to Participants, or our
Company pays the equivalent cash value, the NTA would be impacted by the cost of the
Shares purchased or the cash payment, respectively.
EPS
The Performance Share Plan will result in a charge to earnings equivalent over the period
from the grant date to the vesting date, computed in accordance with IFRS 2. It should again
be noted that the delivery of Shares to Participants of the Performance Share Plan will
generally be contingent upon the Participants meeting the prescribed performance targets
and conditions.

Objectives of the ESOS


The objectives of the ESOS are as follows:
(a)

to motivate participants to optimise their performance standards and efficiency and to


maintain a high level of contribution to our Group;

(b)

to retain key employees and directors whose contributions are essential to the
long-term growth and profitability of our Group;

152

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

4.

(c)

to instill loyalty to, and a stronger identification by participants with the long-term
prosperity of, our Group;

(d)

to attract potential employees with relevant skills to contribute to our Group and to
create value for our Shareholders; and

(e)

to align the interests of participants with the interests of our Shareholders.

Summary of the ESOS


The following is a summary of the rules of the ESOS. Any capitalised terms used herein shall,
unless otherwise defined, bear the same meanings as defined in Appendix J of this Offer
Document.

4.1 Participants
The ESOS allows for participation by Group Employees (including Group Executive
Directors) and Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors) who have attained
the age of 21 on or prior to the relevant date of grant of the Option, provided that none shall
be an undischarged bankrupt or have entered into a composition with his creditors.
Controlling Shareholders and their Associates who have contributed to the development and
success of the Group shall be eligible to participate in the ESOS, provided that (i) the
participation of; and (ii) the terms of any Options to be granted and the actual number of
Shares to be granted under the ESOS, to a Participant who is a Controlling Shareholder or
an associate of a Controlling Shareholder shall be approved by the independent
Shareholders in separate resolutions for each such person.
4.2 Administration
The ESOS shall be administered by the Remuneration Committee with powers to determine,
inter alia, the following:
(i)

persons to be granted Options;

(ii)

number of Options to be granted; and

(iii) recommendations for modifications to the ESOS.


As at the date of this Offer Document, our Remuneration Committee comprises Dato Thomas
Koh, Tan Eng Ann and Denys Collin Munang. The Remuneration Committee will consist of
Directors (including Directors or persons who may be participants of the ESOS). A member
of the Remuneration Committee who is also a Participant of the ESOS must not be involved
in any deliberation or decision in respect of Options granted or to be granted to him.

153

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
4.3 Size of the ESOS
The total number of Shares over which the Remuneration Committee may grant Options on
any date, when added to the number of Shares issued and issuable in respect of (i) all
Options granted under the ESOS; (ii) all Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan;
and (iii) all outstanding options or awards granted under such other share-based incentive
schemes of our Company, shall not exceed 15.0% of the number of issued Shares (excluding
treasury shares) on the day immediately preceding the Offer Date of the Option.
Our Directors believe that this limit gives us sufficient flexibility to decide upon the number
of Option Shares to offer our existing and new employees. The number of eligible
Participants is expected to grow over the years. Our Company, in line with its goal of ensuring
sustainable growth, is constantly reviewing its position and considering the expansion of its
talent pool which may involve employing new employees. The employee base, and thus the
number of eligible Participants, will increase as a result. If the number of Options available
under the ESOS is limited, our Company may only be able to grant a small number of Options
to each eligible Participant which may not be a sufficiently attractive incentive. Our Company
is of the opinion that it should have a sufficient number of Options to offer to new employees
as well as to existing ones. The number of Options offered must also be significant to serve
as a meaningful reward for contributions to our Group. However, it does not necessarily
mean that the Remuneration Committee will definitely issue Option Shares up to the
prescribed limit. The Remuneration Committee shall exercise its discretion in deciding the
number of Option Shares to be granted to each employee, which will depend on the
performance and value of the employee to our Group.
4.4 Maximum entitlements
The aggregate number of Shares comprised in any Option to be offered to a Participant
under the ESOS shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the Remuneration
Committee, which shall take into account (where applicable) criteria such as rank, past
performance, years of service and potential development of that Participant.
The aggregate number of Shares in respect of which Options may be granted to Controlling
Shareholders and their Associates under the ESOS shall not exceed 25.0% of the total
number of Shares available under the ESOS. The aggregate number of Shares in respect of
which Options may be granted to any individual Controlling Shareholder or Associate of a
Controlling Shareholder under the ESOS shall not exceed 10.0% of the total number of
Shares available under the ESOS.
4.5 Options, exercise period and exercise price
The Options that are granted under the ESOS may have exercise prices that are, at the
Remuneration Committees discretion, set at a price (the Market Price) equal to the
average of the last dealt prices for the Shares on Catalist for five (5) consecutive Market
Days immediately preceding the relevant date of grant of the relevant Option; or at a discount
to the Market Price (subject to a maximum discount of 20.0%). Options which are fixed at the
Market Price (the Market Price Option) may be exercised after the first anniversary of the
date of grant of that Option while Options exercisable at a discount to the Market Price (the
Discounted Option) may only be exercised after the second anniversary from the date of
grant of that Option. Options granted under the ESOS will have a life span of ten (10) years.

154

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
4.6 Grant of Options
Under the rules of the ESOS, there are no fixed periods for the grant of Employee Options.
As such, offers for the grant of Options may be made at any time at the discretion of the
Remuneration Committee. However, no Option shall be granted during the period of 30 days
immediately preceding the date of announcement of our Companys interim and/or final
results (as the case may be).
In addition, in the event that an announcement on any matter of an exceptional nature
involving unpublished price sensitive information is imminent, offers may only be made after
the second Market Day from the date on which the aforesaid announcement is made.
4.7 Termination of Options
Special provisions in the rules of the ESOS deal with the lapse or earlier exercise of Options
in circumstances which include the termination of the Participants employment in our Group,
the bankruptcy of the Participant, the death of the Participant, a take-over of our Company
and the winding-up of our Company.
4.8 Acceptance of Offer
The grant of Options shall be accepted within 30 days from the date of offer. Offers of Options
made to grantees, if not accepted by the closing date, will lapse. Upon acceptance of the
offer, the grantee must pay our Company a consideration of S$1.
4.9 Rights of Shares arising from the exercise of Options
Option Shares are subject to the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles. The Option
Shares so allotted will, upon issue, rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing
issued Shares, save for any dividend, rights, allotments or distributions, the record date for
which is prior to the relevant exercise date of the Option. For such purposes, record date
means the date as at the close of business on which our Shareholders must be registered
in order to participate in any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions (as the case
may be).
4.10 Duration of the ESOS
The ESOS shall continue in operation for a maximum duration of ten (10) years commencing
on the date on which the ESOS is adopted by our Company by way of written resolution and
may be continued for any further period thereafter with the approval of our Shareholders by
ordinary resolution in general meeting and of any relevant authorities which may then be
required.

155

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
4.11 Abstention from voting
Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the ESOS are to abstain from voting on any
Shareholders resolution relating to the GCCP Employee Share Option Scheme, including,
where applicable, (i) implementation of the ESOS; (ii) discount quantum; and (iii)
participation by, and Option granted to, Controlling Shareholders and their Associates and
should not accept nominations as proxies or otherwise for voting in respect of such resolution
unless specific instructions have been given in the proxy instrument on how the votes are to
be cast.
4.12 Grant of Discounted Options
Discounted Options will only be granted to deserving employees whose performances have
been consistently good and/or whose future contributions to our Group will be invaluable.
The ability to offer Discounted Options will operate as a means to recognise the performance
of participants as well as to motivate them to continue to excel while encouraging them to
focus on improving the profitability and return of our Group to a level that benefits our
Shareholders, when these are eventually reflected through an appreciation of our share
price. Discounted Options would be perceived in a more positive light by the Participants,
inspiring them to work hard and produce results in order to be offered Discounted Options as
only employees who have made significant contributions to the success and development of
our Group would be granted Discounted Options.
The flexibility to grant Discounted Options is also intended to cater to situations where the
stock market performance has overrun the general market conditions. In such events, the
Remuneration Committee will have absolute discretion to:
(a)

grant Options set at a discount to the Market Price of a Share (subject to a maximum
limit of 20.0%); and

(b)

determine the Participants to whom, and the Options to which, such reduction in
exercise prices will apply.

In determining whether to give a discount and the quantum of the discount, the Remuneration
Committee shall be at liberty to take into consideration factors including the performance of
our Company and our Group, the performance of the Participant concerned, the contribution
of the Participant to the success and development of our Group and the prevailing market
conditions.
At present, our Company foresees that Discounted Options may be granted principally in the
following circumstances:
(a)

Firstly, where it is considered more effective to reward and retain talented employees
by way of a Discounted Option rather than a Market Price Option. This is to reward the
outstanding performers who have contributed significantly to our Groups performance
and the Discounted Option serves as additional incentives to such Group employees.
Options granted by our Company on the basis of Market Price may not be as attractive
and realistic in the event of an overly buoyant market and inflated share prices. Hence
during such period the ability to offer Discounted Options would allow our Company to
grant Options on a more realistic and economically feasible basis. Furthermore,
Discounted Options will give an opportunity to our Group employees to realise some
tangible benefits even if external events cause the Share price to remain largely static.

156

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
(b)

Secondly, where it is more meaningful and attractive to acknowledge a Participants


achievements through a Discounted Option rather than paying him a cash bonus. For
example, Discounted Options may be used to compensate employees and to motivate
them during economic downturns when wages (including cash bonuses and annual
wage supplements) are frozen or cut, or they could be used to supplement cash
rewards in lieu of larger cash bonuses or annual wage supplements. Accordingly, it is
possible that merit-based cash bonuses or rewards may be combined with grants of
Market Price Options or Discounted Options, as part of eligible employees
compensation packages. The ESOS will provide our Group employees with an incentive
to focus more on improving the profitability of our Group thereby enhancing shareholder
value when these are eventually reflected through the price appreciation of our Shares
after the vesting period.

The Remuneration Committee will have the absolute discretion to grant Discounted Options,
to determine the level of discount (subject to a maximum discount of 20.0% of the Market
Price) and the grantees to whom, and the Options to which, such discount in the exercise
price will apply provided that our Shareholders in general meeting shall have authorised, in
a separate resolution, the making of offers and grants of Options under the ESOS, at a
discount not exceeding the maximum discount as aforesaid.
Our Company may also grant Options without any discount to the Market Price. Additionally,
our Company may, if it deems fit, impose conditions on the exercise of the Options (whether
such Options are granted at the Market Price or at a discount to the Market Price), such as
restricting the number of Option Shares for which the Option may be exercised during the
initial years following its vesting.
4.13 Rationale for participation by employees of our Group (including Group Executive
Directors) in the ESOS
The extension of the ESOS to employees of our Group (including Group Executive Directors)
allows us to have a fair and equitable system to reward employees and Executive Directors
of our Group who have made and who continue to make significant contributions to the
long-term growth of our Group.
We believe that the grant of Options to the employees and Executive Directors of our Group
will enable us to attract, retain and provide incentives to its participants to produce higher
standards of performance as well as encourage greater dedication and loyalty to our Group.
This would enable our Company to give recognition to past contributions and services as well
as to motivate participants generally to contribute towards the long-term growth of our Group.

157

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
4.14 Rationale for participation by our Controlling Shareholders and the associates of our
Controlling Shareholders in the ESOS
Our Company acknowledges that the services and contributions of employees who are
Controlling Shareholders and the Associates of our Controlling Shareholders are important
to the development and success of our Group. The extension of the ESOS to confirmed
full-time employees who are Controlling Shareholders and the Associates of our Controlling
Shareholders allows our Group to have a fair and equitable system to reward employees who
have actively contributed to the progress and success of our Group. The participation of the
Controlling Shareholders and the Associates of the Controlling Shareholders in the ESOS
will serve both as a reward to them for their dedicated services to our Group and a motivation
for them to take a long-term view of our Group.
Although Participants who are Controlling Shareholders and the Associates of our
Controlling Shareholders may already have shareholding interests in our Company, the
extension of the ESOS to include them ensures that they are equally entitled as the other
employees of our Group who are Controlling Shareholders and the Associates of our
Controlling Shareholders, to take part and benefit from this system of remuneration. We are
of the view that a person who would otherwise be eligible should not be excluded from
participating in the ESOS solely by reason that he/she is a Controlling Shareholder or an
Associate of our Controlling Shareholders.
The specific approval of our independent Shareholders is required for the participation of
such persons as well as the actual number of and terms of such Options. A separate
resolution must be passed for each such Participant. In seeking such approval from our
independent Shareholders, clear justification as to the participation of Associates of our
Controlling Shareholders, the number of and terms (including the exercise price) of the
Options to be granted to the Controlling Shareholders and the Associates of our Controlling
Shareholders shall be provided. Accordingly, we are of the view that there are sufficient
safeguards against any abuse of the ESOS resulting from the participation of employees who
are Controlling Shareholders and the Associates of our Controlling Shareholders.
4.15 Rationale for participation by our Non-Executive Directors (including Independent
Directors) in the ESOS
Although our Non-Executive Directors are not involved in the day-to-day running of our
operations, they play an invaluable role in furthering the business interests of our Group by
contributing their experience and expertise. The participation by Non-Executive Directors in
the ESOS will provide our Company with a further avenue to acknowledge and recognise
their services and contributions to our Group as it may not always be possible to compensate
them fully or appropriately by increasing the directors fees or other forms of cash payment.
For instance, the Non-Executive Directors may bring strategic or other such value to our
Company which may be difficult to quantify in monetary terms. The grant of Options to
Non-Executive Directors will allow our Company to attract and retain experienced and
qualified persons from different professional backgrounds to join our Company as NonExecutive Directors, and to motivate existing Non-Executive Directors to take extra efforts to
promote the interests of our Company and/or our Group.

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
In deciding whether to grant Options to the Non-Executive Directors, the Remuneration
Committee will take into consideration, among other things, the services and contributions
made to the growth, development and success of our Group and the years of service of a
particular Non-Executive Director. The Remuneration Committee may also, where it
considers relevant, take into account other factors such as the economic conditions and our
Companys performance.
It is envisaged that the granting of Options, and hence the number of Shares to be delivered
to the Non-Executive Directors based on the criteria set out above will be relatively small, in
terms of the frequency and numbers. Based on this, the Directors are of the view that the
participation by the Non-Executive Directors in the ESOS will not compromise the
independent status of those who are Independent Directors.
4.16 Cost of Options
Any options granted under the ESOS, whether such options are Market Price Options or
Discounted Options, would have a fair value. In the event that such Options are granted at
prices below the fair value of the Options, there will be a cost to our Company. Such costs
are higher in the case of Discounted Options, where such Options are granted with exercise
prices set at a discount to the prevailing Market Price of our Shares. The cost to our
Company of granting Options with a discounted exercise price under the ESOS would be as
follows:
(a)

the exercise of an Option at a discounted exercise price would translate into a reduction
of the proceeds from the exercise of such Options, as compared to the proceeds that
our Company would have received from such exercise had the exercise been made at
the prevailing Market Price of our Shares. Such reduction of the exercise proceeds
would represent the monetary cost to our Company of granting Options with a
discounted exercise price;

(b)

as the monetary cost of granting Options with a discounted exercise price is borne by
our Company, the earnings of our Company would effectively be reduced by an amount
corresponding to the reduced interest earnings that our Company would have received
from the difference in proceeds from an exercise price with no discount versus the
discounted exercise price. Such reduction would, accordingly, result in the dilution of
our Companys EPS; and

(c)

the effect of the issue and allotment of new Shares upon the exercise of Options on our
Companys NAV per Share is accretive if the exercise price is above the NAV per Share,
but dilutive otherwise.

159

GCCP PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND


GCCP EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The costs as discussed above would only materialise upon the exercise of the relevant
Options. Share options have value because the option to buy a companys share for a fixed
price during an extended future time period is a valuable right, even if there are restrictions
attached to such an Option. As our Company is required to account for share-based awards
granted to our employees, the cost of granting Options will affect our financial results as this
cost to our Company would be required to be charged to our Companys profit or loss
commencing from the time Options are granted. Subject as aforesaid, as and when Options
are exercised, the cash inflow will add to the net tangible assets of our Company and its
share capital base will grow. Where Options are granted with subscription prices that are set
at a discount to the Market Prices for our Shares prevailing at the time of the grant of such
Options, the amount of the cash inflow to our Company on the exercise of such Options
would be diminished by the quantum of the discount given, as compared with the cash inflow
that would have been receivable by our Company had the Options been granted at the
Market Price of our Shares prevailing at the time of the grant.
The grant of Options will have an impact on our Companys reported profit under the
accounting rules in IFRS 2 Share base payment which is effective for annual periods
beginning or after 1 January 2015. It requires the recognition of an expense in respect of
Options granted. The expenses will be based on the fair value of the Options at the date of
grant (as determined by an option-pricing model) and will be recognised over the vesting
period.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate governance refers to the processes and structure by which the business and affairs of
a company are directed and managed, in order to enhance long-term shareholder value through
enhancing corporate performance and accountability. Good corporate governance therefore
embodies both enterprise (performance) and accountability (conformance).
Our Directors recognise the importance of corporate governance and the offering of high
standards of accountability to our Shareholders.
Our Board has formed three (3) committees: (i) the Nominating Committee; (ii) the Remuneration
Committee; and (iii) the Audit Committee.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
Our Nominating Committee comprises Denys Collin Munang, Tan Eng Ann and Dato Thomas Koh.
The Chairman of the Nominating Committee is Denys Collin Munang.
Our Nominating Committee will be responsible for:
(a)

reviewing and recommending the nomination or re-nomination of our Directors having regard
to our Directors contribution and performance;

(b)

determining on an annual basis whether or not a Director is independent;

(c)

deciding whether or not a Director is able to and has been adequately carrying out his duties
as a director; and

(d)

reviewing and approving any new employment of related persons and the proposed terms of
their employment.

The Nominating Committee will decide how our Boards performance is to be evaluated and
propose objective performance criteria, subject to the approval of our Board, which address how
our Board has enhanced long-term shareholders value. Our Board will also implement a process
to be carried out by the Nominating Committee for assessing the effectiveness of our Board as a
whole and for assessing the contribution of each individual Director to the effectiveness of our
Board. Each member of the Nominating Committee shall abstain from voting on any resolutions
in respect of the assessment of his performance or re-nomination as Director.
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Our Remuneration Committee comprises Dato Thomas Koh, Tan Eng Ann, and Denys Collin
Munang.
The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee is Dato Thomas Koh.
Our Remuneration Committee will recommend to our Board a framework of remuneration for our
Directors and Executive Officers, and determine specific remuneration packages for each
Executive Director. The recommendations of our Remuneration Committee should be submitted
for endorsement by the entire Board. All aspects of remuneration, including but not limited to
directors fees, salaries, allowances, bonuses and other benefits-in-kind shall be covered by our
Remuneration Committee. Each member of the Remuneration Committee shall abstain from
voting on any resolutions in respect of his remuneration package.
161

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The remuneration of related employees will be reviewed annually by our Remuneration Committee
to ensure that their remuneration packages are in line with our staff remuneration guidelines and
commensurate with their respective job scope and level of responsibilities. Any bonuses, pay
increases and/or promotions for these related employees will also be subject to the review and
approval of our Remuneration Committee. In the event that a member of our Remuneration
Committee is related to the employee under review, he will abstain from participating in the review.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
Our Audit Committee comprises Tan Eng Ann, Dato Thomas Koh and Denys Collin Munang.
The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Tan Eng Ann.

material nature with our Group, our Directors or Substantial Shareholders.

response before submission of the results of such review to our Board for approval;

consider the appointment or re-appointment of the internal auditors, the level of their
remuneration and matters relating to resignation or dismissal of the internal auditors, and

163

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our Audit Committee, after having conducted an interview with Ian Lim and considered:
(a)

the qualifications and his past working experiences (as described in the section entitled
Directors, Management and Staff Executive Officers of this Offer Document) which are
compatible with his position as CFO of our Group;

(b)

his demonstration of the requisite competency in finance-related matters in connection with


the preparation of the listing of our Company;

(c)

the absence of negative feedback on Ian Lim from the representatives of the Independent
Auditors and Reporting Accountants, Ernst & Young LLP, and our internal auditors, RSM
Ethos Pte Ltd; and

(d)

the absence of internal control weakness attributable to Ian Lim identified during the internal
control review conducted by our internal auditors, RSM Ethos Pte Ltd,

is of the view that Ian Lim is suitable for the position of CFO of our Group.
Further, after making all reasonable enquiries, and to the best of their knowledge and belief,
nothing has come to the attention of our Audit Committee to cause them to believe that Ian Lim
does not have the competence, character and integrity expected of a CFO of a listed issuer.
In addition, Ian Lim shall be subject to performance appraisal by our Audit Committee on an
annual basis to ensure satisfactory performance.
Our Audit Committee shall also commission an annual internal control audit until such time as our
Audit Committee is satisfied that our Groups internal controls are robust and effective enough to
mitigate our Groups internal control weaknesses (if any). Prior to the decommissioning of such an
annual audit, our Board is required to report to the SGX-ST and the Sponsor on how the key
internal control weaknesses have been rectified, and the basis for the decision to decommission
the annual internal control audit. Thereafter, such audits may be initiated by the Audit Committee
as and when it deems fit to satisfy itself that our Groups internal controls remain robust and
effective. Upon completion of the internal control audit, appropriate disclosure must be made via
SGXNET on any material, price-sensitive internal control weaknesses and any follow-up actions
to be taken by our Board.
Based on the foregoing, our Board, to the best of its knowledge and belief, with the concurrence
of our Audit Committee, based on the internal controls established and maintained by our Group,
work performed by the external and internal auditors, and reviews by our Board and our Audit
Committee, is of the opinion that our internal controls of our Group are adequate to address the
financial, operational and compliance risks.

As no consideration was paid to the Guarantors for the provision of the Guarantees such
transactions were not on an arms length basis and not on normal commercial terms but beneficial
to the Company.
Subsequent to the listing of our Shares on Catalist, our Company and/or the Guarantors intend to
request the respective banks to release and/or discharge the Guarantees by substituting or
replacing the same with corporate guarantees from our Company. Should the terms and
conditions of the existing facilities be affected by the withdrawal of the Guarantees, we are
confident that after the listing of our Shares on Catalist, we should be able to secure alternative
bank facilities on terms similar to those applicable to the existing facilities. In the event the banks
do not agree to release the Guarantors from the Guarantees and we are unable to secure
alternative bank facilities on similar terms, the Guarantors will continue to provide the Guarantees,
for so long as Alex Loo remains a Controlling Shareholder or Director, until such time when we are
able to secure alternative facilities from other financial institutions.

INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS


GUIDELINES AND REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR ONGOING AND FUTURE INTERESTED
PERSON TRANSACTIONS
To ensure that future transactions with Interested Persons are undertaken on normal commercial
terms and are consistent with the Groups usual business practices and policies, which are
generally no more favourable than those extended to unrelated third parties, the following
procedures and Chapter 9 of the Catalist Rules will be implemented by our Group:
(a)

The CFO will maintain a register of Interested Person Transactions which will be updated
regularly and disclosed to the relevant personnel to enable identification of Interested
Persons. The register will record the basis on which Interested Person Transactions are
entered into and the approval or review by the Audit Committee, CFO or any duly appointed
Director as the case may be. The register shall also record the basis for entry into the
transactions, including the quotations and other evidence obtained to support such basis.
This register of Interested Person Transactions shall be reviewed by the Audit Committee at
least on a quarterly basis;

(b)

In relation to any purchase of products or procurement of services from Interested Persons,


quotes from at least two (2) unrelated third parties in respect of the same or substantially the
same type of transactions will be used as comparison wherever possible. The purchase price
or procurement price shall not be higher than the most competitive price of the two (2)
comparative prices from the two (2) unrelated third parties. The Audit Committee will review
the comparables, taking into account, the suitability, quality and cost of the product or
service, and the experience and expertise of the supplier;

(c)

In relation to any sale of products to Interested Persons, the price and terms of two (2) other
completed transactions of the same or substantially the same type of transactions to
unrelated third parties are to be used as comparison wherever possible. The Interested
Persons shall not be charged at rates lower than the lowest price of that charged to the
unrelated third parties;

(d)

All Interested Persons Transactions above S$100,000 are to be approved by a Director who
shall not be an Interested Person in respect of the particular transaction. Any contracts to be
made with an Interested Person shall not be approved unless the pricing is determined in
accordance with the Groups usual business practices and policies, consistent with the usual
margin given or price received by the Group for the same or substantially similar type of
transactions between the Group and unrelated parties and the terms are no more favourable
than those extended to or received from unrelated parties;

(e)

For the purposes above, where applicable, contracts for the same or substantially similar
type of transactions entered into between the Group and unrelated third parties will be used
as a basis for comparison to determine whether the price and terms offered to or received
from the Interested Person are no more favourable than those extended to unrelated parties;

171

INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS


(f)

In addition, the Group shall monitor all Interested Person Transactions entered into by
categorising the transactions as follows:
(i)

a category one Interested Person Transaction is one where the value thereof is in
excess of 3.0% of the NTA of our Group; and

(ii)

a category two Interested Person Transaction is one where the value thereof is below
or equal to 3.0% of the NTA of our Group.

All category one Interested Person Transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee
prior to entry whereas category two Interested Person Transactions need not be approved
by the Audit Committee prior to entry but shall be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Audit
Committee; and
(g)

When renting properties from or to an Interested Person, the Directors shall take appropriate
steps to ensure that such rent is commensurate with the prevailing market rates, including
adopting measures such as making relevant enquiries with landlords of similar properties
and obtaining suitable reports or reviews published by property agents (as necessary),
including independent valuation report by property valuer, where appropriate. The rent
payable shall be based on the most competitive market rental rate of similar property in terms
of size and location, based on the results of the relevant enquiries. Such transactions shall
be subject to review by the Audit Committee on a half-yearly basis.

Our Group will prepare relevant information to assist the Audit Committee in its review.
Before any agreement or arrangement with an Interested Person that is not in the ordinary course
of business of our Group is transacted, prior approval must be obtained from the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee will review all Interested Person Transactions, if any, on a quarterly basis to
ensure that they are carried out on an arms length basis and in accordance with the procedures
outlined above. It will take into account all relevant non-qualitative factors. In the event that a
member of the Audit Committee is interested in any Interested Person Transactions, he will
abstain from reviewing that particular transaction. Any decision to proceed with such an
agreement or arrangement would be recorded for review by the Audit Committee.
Disclosure will be made in our Groups annual report of the aggregate value of Interested Person
Transactions during the relevant financial year under review and in the subsequent annual reports
for the subsequent financial years of our Group.
Internal auditors will be appointed and their internal audit plan will incorporate a review of all the
Interested Person Transactions at least on an annual basis. The internal audit report will be
reviewed by the Audit Committee to ascertain whether the guidelines and procedures established
to monitor Interested Person Transactions have been complied with.
The Audit Committee shall also review from time to time such guidelines and procedures to
determine if they are adequate and/or commercially practicable in ensuring that Interested Person
Transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms, on an arms length basis and do not
prejudice the interests of our Group and our Shareholders. Further, if during these periodic
reviews by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee is of the opinion that the guidelines and
procedures as stated above are not sufficient to ensure that Interested Person Transactions will
be on normal commercial terms, on an arms length basis and not prejudicial to the interests of our
Group and our Shareholders, the Audit Committee will adopt such new guidelines and review
procedures for future Interested Person Transactions as may be appropriate.
172

INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS


In addition, the Audit Committee will include the review of Interested Person Transactions as part
of the standard procedures while examining the adequacy of the internal controls of our Group.
The Audit Committee will also review all Interested Person Transactions to ensure that the
prevailing rules and regulations of the SGX-ST (in particular, Chapter 9 of the Catalist Rules) are
complied with.
Our Group will also comply with the provisions in Chapter 9 of the Catalist Rules in respect of all
future Interested Person Transactions, and if required under the Catalist Rules, the Cayman
Companies Law or the SFA, we will seek independent Shareholders approval for such
transactions.
All the Independent Directors, who are members of the Audit Committee, are of the view that the
review procedures and systematic monitoring mechanism of all Interested Person Transactions as
mentioned above, are adequate in ensuring that such transactions will be on normal commercial
terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of Shareholders in any way.

New Shares
Subject to the Cayman Companies Law, no shares may be issued by our Board without the prior
approval of our Company in general meeting but subject thereto and to our Articles and without
prejudice to any special rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any shares or any class
of shares, the unissued shares of our Company shall be at the disposal of our Board of Directors
which may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, at such
times and for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors
may in its absolute discretion determine but so that no Shares shall be issued at a discount,
provided always that subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given by our Company

DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


Shareholders
We maintain a register of members which contains the particulars as required under the Cayman
Companies Law, and only recognise as members of our Company such persons who are holders
or Shares and who are registered on the register of members. Except as required by law, no
person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and we will not
be bound by or required in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable,
contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any fractional part of a share or (except only
as otherwise provided by these Articles or by law) any other rights in respect of any share except
an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder. If any Share stands jointly in the
names of two or more persons, the person first named in the register shall as regards service of
notices and, subject to the provisions of our Articles, all or any other matters connected with our
Company, except with respect to the transfer of Shares, be deemed the sole holder thereof.
Subject to the terms and conditions of any application of Shares, we may allot Shares applied for
within ten (10) market days of the closing date of any such application (or such other period as
may be approved by the Designated Stock Exchange).
Transfer of Shares
Subject to our Articles, any member may transfer all or any of his Shares by a duly signed
instrument of transfer in the form acceptable to the Board provided always that the Company shall
accept for registration an instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Designated Stock
Exchange (which includes the SGX-ST). Save as provided in our Articles, there shall be no
restriction on the transfer of fully paid up shares (except where required by law or the rules or
regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange). The Board may decline to register a transfer of
any share which is not fully paid or on which the Company has a lien. The Board may also decline
to recognise any instrument of transfer unless, among other things, it is duly stamped and is
presented for registration together with the share certificate and such other evidence as the Board
may reasonably require, and a fee of such sum (not exceeding two Singapore dollars (S$2) or
such other maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable) as
the Board may from time to time require is paid to the Company in respect thereof. The registration
of transfers of shares may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed
newspaper and in accordance with the requirements of the Designated Stock Exchange be
suspended at such times and for such periods (not exceeding in the whole 30 days in any year)
as the Board may determine.
General Meetings of Shareholders
Under the Cayman Companies Law, there is no distinction between annual general meetings and
other general meetings.
Under our Articles, our Company may in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general
meeting and the Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene an extraordinary general
meeting. In addition, for so long as the shares of our Company are listed on the Designated Stock
Exchange (which includes the SGX-ST), the interval between the close of our Companys financial
year and the date of our Companys annual general meeting shall not exceed four months or such
period as may be prescribed or permitted by the Designated Stock Exchange.

177

DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


Subject to the Cayman Companies Law, members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition
not less than one-tenth of the paid up capital of our Company carrying the right of voting at general
meetings of our Company shall at all times have the right, by written requisition to the Board of
Directors or the Secretary of the Company, to require an extraordinary general meeting to be
called by the Board of Directors for the transaction of any business specified in such requisition;
and such meeting shall be held within two (2) months after the deposit of such requisition. If within
21 days of such deposit the Board of Directors fails to proceed to convene such meeting the
requisitionists themselves may do so in the same manner, and all reasonable expenses incurred
by the requisitionist(s) as a result of the failure of the Board of Directors shall be reimbursed to
the requisitionist(s) by the Company.
At least 14 days notice of a general meeting shall be given to each member entitled to attend and
vote thereat. A general meeting at which the passing of a special resolution is to be considered
shall be called by not less than 21 days notice. For so long as the shares of the Company are
listed on the Designated Stock Exchange, at least 14 days notice of any general meeting shall be
given by advertisement in an English daily newspaper in circulation in Singapore and in writing to
the Designated Stock Exchange.
Under the Cayman Companies Law, only persons who agree to become members of a company
and whose names are entered on the register of members of such company are considered
members, with rights to attend and vote at general meetings. Depositors holding Shares through
CDP are not recognised as members of our Company, and do not under the Cayman Companies
Law have a right to attend and to vote at general meetings of our Company. In the event that
Depositors wish to attend and vote at general meetings of our Company, CDP will have to appoint
them as proxies, pursuant to our Articles and the Cayman Companies Law.
In accordance with Article 77(1), unless CDP specifies otherwise in a written notice to our
Company, CDP shall be deemed to have appointed as CDPs proxies each of the Depositors who
are individuals and whose names are shown in the records of CDP, as at a time not earlier than
48 hours prior to the time of the relevant general meeting, supplied by CDP to our Company.
Therefore, Depositors who are individuals can attend and vote at the general meetings of our
Company without the lodgment of any proxy form. Depositors who cannot attend a meeting
personally may enable their nominees to attend as CDPs proxies by completing and returning
appropriate proxy forms. Depositors who are not individuals can only be represented at a general
meeting of our Company if their nominees are appointed by CDP as CDPs proxies. Proxy forms
appointing nominees of Depositors as proxies of CDP would need to be executed by CDP as
member and must be deposited at the place and within the time frame specified by our Company
to enable the nominees to attend and vote at the relevant general meeting of our Company.
Voting Rights
Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any shares
by or in accordance with our Articles, at any general meeting (i) on a show of hands every member
present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a representative duly authorised under
Article 83) or by proxy shall have one vote and the chairman of the meeting shall determine which
proxy shall be entitled to vote where a member (other than CDP) is represented by two proxies;
and (ii) on a poll every member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a member being
a corporation, by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for every fully paid share
of which he is the holder or which he represents and in respect of which all calls due to the
Company have been paid, but so that no amount paid up or credited as paid up on a share in
advance of calls or instalments is treated for the foregoing purposes as paid up on the share. If

178

DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


the member is CDP, CDP may appoint more than two (2) proxies to attend and vote at the same
general meeting and each proxy shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of CDP
as CDP could exercise, including the right to vote individually on a show of hands.
Dividends
Subject to the Cayman Companies Law, our Company in general meeting may from time to time
declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the members but no dividend shall be declared in
excess of the amount recommended by the Board of Directors. Dividends may be declared and
paid out of the profits of our Company, realised or unrealised, or from any reserve set aside from
profits which the Directors determine is no longer needed. With the sanction of an ordinary
resolution, dividends may also be declared and paid out of the share premium account or any
other fund or account which may be authorised for this purpose in accordance with the Cayman
Companies Law, provided that no distribution or dividend may be paid to members out of the share
premium account unless, immediately following the date on which the distribution or dividend is
proposed to be paid, our Company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary
course of business.
Whenever the Board of Directors or our Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend
be paid or declared, the Board of Directors may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied
wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind and in particular of paid up
shares, debentures or warrants to subscribe securities of our Company or any other company, or
in any one or more of such ways.
Capitalisation and Rights Issues
Upon the recommendation of the Board of the Directors, our Company in general meeting may
resolve to capitalise any reserves and distribute the same amongst the members who would be
entitled thereto if it were distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions, on the footing
that the same is not paid in cash but is applied either in or towards paying up the amounts for the
time being unpaid on any shares in our Company held by such members respectively or in paying
up in full unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of our Company, to be allotted and
distributed credited as fully paid up among such members, or partly in one way and partly in the
other, subject always to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Law.
Takeovers
There are presently no Cayman Islands laws or regulations of general application which will
require persons who acquire significant holdings in our Shares to make take-over offers for our
Shares or to notify us.
However, pursuant to the SFA, Sections 138, 139 and 140 of the SFA and the Singapore Code on
Take-overs and Mergers (collectively the Singapore Take-over and Merger Laws and
Regulations) apply to take-over offers of companies which are incorporated outside Singapore
and all or any of the shares of which are listed for quotation on a securities exchange (as defined
in the SFA). Accordingly, the Singapore Take-over and Merger Laws and Regulations will apply to
take-over offers for our Shares for so long as our Shares are listed on a securities exchange,
which includes the SGX-ST.

179

DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


Article 167 of our Articles provides that for so long as our Shares are listed on the Designated
Stock Exchange, the Singapore Take-over and Merger Laws and Regulations, including any
amendments, modifications, revisions, variations or re-enactments thereof, shall apply, as far as
possible, to all take-over offers in respect of our Shares.
The Cayman Companies Law does not require disclosure of shareholder ownership beyond a
certain threshold. However, Article 167 contains provisions to the effect that for so long as the
shares of the Company are listed on the Designated Stock Exchange (which includes the
SGX-ST), Directors and substantial shareholders (having the meaning ascribed to it in the
Singapore Companies Act) of the Company will have to disclose particulars of their interest in the
Company and any change in the percentage level of such interest. Article 167 does not apply to
CDP.
Under the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (Singapore Take-over Code), issued by
the Authority pursuant to Section 321 of the SFA, any person acquiring an interest, either on his
own or together with parties acting in concert with him, in 30.0% or more of the voting shares must
extend a takeover offer for the remaining voting shares in accordance with the provisions of the
Singapore Takeover Code. In addition, a mandatory takeover offer is also required to be made if
a person holding, either on his own or together with parties acting in concert with him, between
30.0% and 50.0% of the voting rights acquires additional voting shares representing more than
1.0% of the voting shares in any six month period. Under the Singapore Take-over Code, the
following individuals and companies will be presumed to be persons acting in concert with each
other unless the contrary is established:
(a)

the following companies:


(i)

a company;

(ii)

the parent company of (i);

(e)

a financial or other professional adviser, including a stockbroker, with its customer in respect
of the shareholdings of:
(i)

the adviser and persons controlling, controlled by or under the same control as the
adviser; and

(ii)

all the funds which the adviser manages on a discretionary basis, where the
shareholdings of the adviser and any of those funds in the customer total 10.0% or more
of the customers equity share capital;

(f)

directors of a company (together with their close relatives, related trusts and companies
controlled by any of such directors, their close relatives and related trusts) which is subject
to an offer or where the directors have reason to believe a bona fide offer for their company
may be imminent;

or any person acting in concert within the preceding six (6) months.
Liquidation or Other Return of Capital
Our Shareholders are entitled to the surplus assets of our Company in the event that it is wound
up.
Indemnity
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a companys articles of association may
provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may
be held by the court to be contrary to public policy (for example, for purporting to provide
indemnification against the consequences of committing a crime).
Our Articles provide that our Directors and officers shall be indemnified from and against all
liability which they incur in executing of their duty in their respective offices, provided that this
indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any negligence, fraud, breach of fiduciary
obligations or dishonesty which may attach to any of the said persons.
181

DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


Limitations on Rights to Hold or Vote Shares
There are no limitations, either under Cayman Islands law or our Articles, on the rights of owners
of our Companys shares to hold or vote their shares solely by reason that they are nonCaymanians.
Minority Rights
The Cayman Islands courts would ordinarily be expected to follow English case law precedents
which permit a minority shareholder to commence a representative action against or derivative
actions in the name of the company to challenge (a) an act which is ultra vires the company or
illegal; (b) an act which constitutes a fraud against the minority and the wrongdoers are
themselves in control of the company; and (c) an irregularity in the passing of a resolution which
requires a qualified (or special) majority.
Purchase of Shares/Treasury Shares
Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, a company may, if authorised by its articles of association,
purchase its own shares. Our Company has such power to purchase our own Shares under Article
3(2) of our Articles. Such power of our Company to purchase our own Shares shall, subject to the
Cayman Companies Law and our Articles (and, if applicable, the rules and regulations of the
SGX-ST and other regulatory authorities), be exercisable by the Directors upon such terms and
subject to such conditions as they think fit, in accordance with Article 3(2).
Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, such purchases may be effected out of profits of our
Company, out of the share premium account or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares
made for that purpose or, subject to Section 37 of the Cayman Companies Law and in the manner
authorised by our Articles, by a payment out of capital. At no time may our Company purchase our
Shares if, as a result of the purchase, there would no longer be any issued Shares other than
Shares held as treasury shares. Only fully paid Shares may be purchased by our Company. A
payment out of capital by our Company for the purchase of our Shares is not lawful unless
immediately following the date on which the payment out of capital is proposed to be made, our
Company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Shares purchased by our Company shall be treated as cancelled on purchase unless, subject to
our memorandum of association and Articles, the Directors resolve, prior to the purchase, to hold
such Shares in the name of the Company as treasury shares. Where the purchased Shares are
treated as cancelled, the amount of our Companys issued share capital shall be diminished by the
nominal value of those Shares. However, such purchase of Shares shall not be taken as reducing
the amount of our Companys authorised share capital.
Under Cayman Islands law, where Shares are held as treasury shares, our Company shall be
entered in the register of members as holding those Shares. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing, our Company shall not be treated as a member for any purpose and shall not exercise
any right in respect of the treasury shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be
void. A treasury share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of our Company and
shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued Shares at any given time, whether
for the purposes of our Articles or the Cayman Companies Law. Further, no dividend may be
declared or paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of our Companys assets
(including any distribution of assets to members on a winding up) may be made to our Company,
in respect of a treasury share.

182

TAXATION
The following is a discussion of certain tax matters arising under the current tax laws in Singapore
and Malaysia and is not intended to be and does not constitute legal or tax advice.
While this discussion is considered to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force as at the
date of this Offer Document, no assurance can be given that the courts or fiscal authorities
responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with this interpretation or that changes
in such law, which may be retrospective, will not occur. The discussion is limited to a general
description of certain tax consequences in Singapore and Malaysia with respect to ownership of
the Shares by Singapore investors, and does not purport to be a comprehensive or exhaustive
description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a Shareholders decision with
regard to the ownership of the Shares.
Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers regarding Singapore and Malaysia
tax and other tax consequences of owning and disposing the Shares. It is emphasised that
neither our Company, the Directors nor any other persons involved in this Placement
accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription,
purchase, holding or disposal of our Shares.
SINGAPORE TAXATION
The following discussion describes the material Singapore income tax, stamp duty, goods and
services tax and estate duty consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposal of the
Shares.
Singapore Income Tax
Individual income tax
Individual taxpayers who are Singapore tax residents are subject to tax on income accrued or
derived from Singapore. All foreign-sourced income (except for income received through a
partnership in Singapore) received on or after 1 January 2004 in Singapore by tax resident
individuals will be exempt from tax. Certain Singapore-sourced investment income (such as
interest from debt securities) derived by tax resident individuals on or after 1 January 2004 from
certain financial instruments (other than income derived through a partnership in Singapore or
from the carrying on of a trade, business or profession) will be exempt from tax.
A Singapore tax resident individual is taxed at progressive rates ranging from 2 per cent. to a
maximum rate of 20 per cent. with effect from the year of assessment 2012.
Non-resident individuals, subject to certain exceptions, are generally subject to income tax on
income accrued in or derived from Singapore at a flat rate of 20 per cent. However, Singapore
does not tax capital gains. A non-resident individual (other than a director) exercising a short-term
employment in Singapore for not more than 60 days may be exempt from tax in Singapore.
An individual is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore if in the calendar year preceding the year
of assessment, he was physically present in Singapore or exercised an employment in Singapore
(other than as a director of a company) for 183 days or more, or if he ordinarily resides in

TAXATION
Corporate income tax
A Singapore tax resident corporate taxpayer is subject to Singapore income tax on:

income accrued in or derived from Singapore; and

foreign sourced income received or deemed received in Singapore, unless otherwise


exempted.

Foreign income in the form of branch profits, dividends and service fee income (specified
foreign income) received or deemed received in Singapore by a Singapore tax resident
corporate taxpayer on or after 1 June 2003 are exempted from Singapore tax subject to meeting
the qualifying conditions.
A non-Singapore tax resident corporate taxpayer, subject to certain exceptions, is subject to
Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore, and on foreign income
received or deemed received in Singapore.
A company is regarded as tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of the
companys business is exercised in Singapore. Normally, control and management of the
company is vested in its board of directors and therefore if the board of directors meets and
conducts the companys business in Singapore, the company will be regarded as tax resident in
Singapore.
The corporate tax rate in Singapore is 17.0% with effect from the Year of Assessment 2010 after
allowing partial tax exemption on the first S$300,000 of a companys chargeable income as
follows:
(i)

75 per cent. of up to the first S$10,000 of a companys chargeable income (excluding


Singapore franked dividends); and

(ii)

50 per cent. of up to the next S$290,000 of a companys chargeable income (excluding


Singapore franked dividends).

Further, companies will, subject to certain conditions, be eligible for full tax exemption on their
normal chargeable income (other than Singapore dividends) of up to S$100,000 and 50.0% tax
exemption on up to the next S$200,000 of normal chargeable income in each of the companys
first three consecutive years of assessment. The remaining chargeable income (after the tax
exemption) will be taxed at the applicable corporate tax rate.
Dividend Distributions
As the Company will be tax resident in Singapore, dividends paid by the Company would be
considered as sourced from Singapore. Dividends received in respect of the Shares by either
Singapore tax resident or non-Singapore tax resident taxpayers are not subject to Singapore
withholding tax, even if paid to non-Singapore resident shareholders.

184

TAXATION
Prior to 1 January 2003, Singapore operated an imputation system of taxation. Under the
imputation system, the income tax paid by a Singapore tax resident company on its taxable
income was imputed to and deemed to be paid on behalf of its shareholders, upon distribution.
Where these profits were distributed as dividends (commonly known as franked dividends) to
shareholders, the dividends received by the shareholders were net of the corporate income tax
paid by the Company. Shareholders were taxed on the gross amount of dividends (that is, the
amount of net proceeds received plus an amount which the Company had deducted from the gross
proceeds and paid as corporate income tax). The income tax paid effectively becomes available
to shareholders as a tax credit for set-off against their Singapore income tax liabilities.
With effect from 1 January 2003 (subject to certain transitional rules), Singapore has adopted the
One-Tier Corporate Tax System (One-Tier System). Under this One-Tier System, the tax
collected from corporate profits is the final tax and the Company can pay tax exempt (1-tier)
dividends which are tax exempt in the hands of the shareholder, regardless of the tax residence
status or the legal form of the shareholder.
During a five-year transitional period expiring on 31 December 2007, companies with unutilised
dividend franking credits may remain under the imputation system for the purpose of paying
franked dividends. Such companies will automatically move to the One-Tier System when the
dividend franking credits are fully utilised.
Companies, however, have the irrevocable option to move to the One-Tier System at an earlier
date before the dividend franking credits are exhausted. The imputation credit system is available
only up to year of assessment 2008. Thereafter, the One-Tier System will take effect for all
companies.
Where a company has income that is exempt from tax or taxed at concessionary tax rates or utilise
investment allowances or are granted tax rebates or receive foreign dividends for which a foreign
tax credit (obtained pursuant to a double taxation treaty with one of Singapores treaty partners
or unilaterally granted under the Singapore Income Tax Act, Chapter 134 of Singapore) has been
allowed and pay dividends out of these sources of income, the company may pay tax exempt
dividends (referred to as normal exempt dividends) out of such income. Normal exempt dividends
paid to shareholders of shares which are not of a preferential nature are free from Singapore
income tax. In the case of a company which is in the One-Tier System, such a company can pay
tax exempt (one-tier) dividends (instead of normal exempt dividends) out of their exempt profits
to shareholders. Hence, dividends paid by such companies as tax exempt (one-tier) dividends to
all their shareholders, including shareholders of shares of a preferential nature, will not be subject
to tax in the hands of these shareholders.
Capital Gains Tax
Singapore does not impose a tax on capital gains. However, there are no specific laws or
regulations which deal with the characterisation of capital gains, and hence, gains may be
construed to be of an income nature and therefore be subject to tax if they arise from activities
which the IRAS regards as the carrying on of a trade or business in Singapore. Any profits from
the disposal of the Shares are not taxable in Singapore unless the seller is regarded as having
derived gains of a trading nature in Singapore, in which case, the disposal profits would be taxable
as trading income.

185

TAXATION
Bonus Shares
Under current Singapore tax law and practice, a capitalisation of profits followed by the issue of
new shares, credited as fully paid, pro-rata to shareholders (bonus issue) does not represent
a distribution of dividends by a company to its shareholders. Therefore, a Singapore resident
shareholder receiving shares by way of a bonus issue should not have a liability to Singapore tax.
When a dividend is to be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of ordinary shares
credited as fully paid, the dividend declared will be treated as income to its shareholders.
However, as the Company will move to the One-Tier System after 31 December 2007, any
dividend paid on or after 1 January 2008 will be exempt from Singapore tax. Similarly, when
shareholders are given the right to elect to receive an allotment of ordinary shares credited as fully
paid in lieu of cash, the dividend declared will be treated as exempt (one-tier) dividend income and
will not be subject to Singapore tax.
Adoption of FRS 39 treatment for Singapore income tax purposes
On 30 December 2005, the IRAS issued a circular entitled Income Tax Implications arising from
the adoption of FRS 39-Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (the FRS 39
Circular). Legislative amendments to give effect to the FRS 39 Circular have been enacted via
the Income Tax (Amendment) Act 2006, with such amendments having been deemed to come into
operation on 1 January 2005. The FRS 39 Circular generally applies, subject to the tax treatment
under the FRS 39 Circular should consult their own accounting and tax advisers regarding the
Singapore income tax consequences of their acquisition, holding or conversion of the Shares.
Stamp Duty
There is no stamp duty payable on the subscription, allotment or holding of our Shares.
Stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of our Shares at the rate of S$2 for every
S$1,000 or any part thereof, computed on the consideration paid or market value of our Shares
registered in Singapore, whichever is higher.
The purchaser is liable for stamp duty, unless there is an agreement to the contrary. No stamp duty
is payable if no instrument of transfer is executed (such as in the case of scripless shares, the
transfer of which does not require instruments of transfer to be executed) or if the instrument of
transfer is executed outside Singapore. However, stamp duty may be payable if the instrument of
transfer which is executed outside Singapore is subsequently received in Singapore.
However, as our Shares will be listed on Catalist and their transfers will be scripless transfers
via the CDP, no stamp duty will be imposed on the transfers of our Shares via the CDP.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The sale of the Shares by an investor belonging to Singapore through a SGX-ST member or to
another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt sale not subject to GST. Any GST directly or
indirectly incurred by the investor in respect of this exempt sale will become an additional cost to
the investor.

186

TAXATION
Where our Shares are sold by a GST-registered investor in the course of a business to a person
belonging outside Singapore, and that person is outside Singapore when the sale is executed, the
sale should generally, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, be considered a taxable supply
subject to GST at zero-rate. Any GST incurred by a GST-registered investor in the making of this
supply in the course of furtherance of a business may, subject to the provisions of the Goods and
Services Tax Act, be offset against the investors GST liability and, in the event of an excess input
tax credit, recovered from the Comptroller of GST of Singapore.
Services such as brokerage, handling and clearing services rendered by a GST-registered person
to an investor belonging in Singapore in connection with the investors purchase, sale or holding
of our Shares will be subject to GST at the current rate of 7.0%. Similar services rendered to an
investor belonging outside Singapore is generally subject to GST at zero-rate, provided that the
investor is outside Singapore when the services are performed and the services provided do not
benefit any Singapore persons.
Estate duty
With effect from 15 February 2008, Singapore estate duty has been abolished.
Individuals, whether or not domiciled in Singapore, should consult their own tax advisers
regarding the Singapore tax and estate duty consequences of their ownership of the
Shares.
CAYMAN ISLANDS TAXATION
Pursuant to Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, the Company
has obtained an undertaking from the Governor-in-Council:
(1)

that no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits
or income or gains or appreciation shall apply to the Company or its operations; and

(2)

that the aforesaid tax or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall not be
payable on the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company.

The undertaking for the Company is for a period of 20 years from 4 November 2014.
The Cayman Islands currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits,
income, gains or appreciations and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate
duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to the Company levied by the Government of
the Cayman Islands save for certain stamp duties which may be applicable, from time to time, on
certain instruments executed in or brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The
Cayman Islands are not party to any double tax treaties.
MALAYSIAN TAXATION
The following discussion describes the material Malaysian tax on dividend and tax on gains from
sale.
Dividend Distributions
Under Malaysian tax law, income tax is charged for each year of assessment on income accruing
in or derived from Malaysia or received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia.
187

TAXATION
However, the income of any person, other than a Malaysian resident company carrying on the
business of banking, insurance or sea or air transport, for the basis year for a year of assessment
derived from sources outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia, is tax-exempt under the
Malaysian Income Tax Act.
Dividends paid, credited or distributed by a company which is tax resident in Malaysia
(Malaysian resident company) would be deemed to be derived from Malaysia.
A company is resident in Malaysia for tax purposes if the management and control of its business
are exercised in Malaysia.
Subject to certain exceptions, the prevailing corporate tax rate for the year of assessment 2014
is 25.0%. With effect from the year of assessment 2016, the corporate tax rate will be reduced to
24.0%.
Gains on Disposal of the Shares in a Malaysian company
There is no capital gains tax in Malaysia except for real property gains tax (RPGT) which is
charged upon gains arising from the disposal of real property in Malaysia or shares in a real
property company incorporated in Malaysia. As such, any gains from the subsequent sale of the
shares in a Malaysian company not being a real property company would not be subject to RPGT
in Malaysia.
However, any gains from the subsequent sales of shares in a Malaysian company by a person who
deals in shares may be regarded as income that is subject to income tax under the Malaysian
Income Tax Act.
Single Tier System
The single tier system has replaced the imputation system with effect from 1 January 2014.
Under the single tier system, income tax payable on the chargeable income of a company is a final
tax in Malaysia. There is no further need for the dividend paying company to deduct tax when
paying dividends. The dividend paying company can freely distribute dividends without having to
keep track of a dividend franking account.
Dividends received by the shareholders are tax-exempted in their hands. Expenses incurred by
the shareholder in the production of the dividend income will not be deductible.

188

CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT


Upon listing and quotation on Catalist, our Shares will be traded under the book-entry settlement
system of the CDP, and all dealings in and transactions of the Shares through Catalist will be
effected in accordance with the terms and conditions for the operation of securities accounts with
the CDP, as amended from time to time.
Our Shares will be registered in the name of CDP or its nominee and held by CDP for and on
behalf of persons who maintain, either directly or through depository agents, securities accounts
with CDP. Persons named as direct securities account holders and depository agents in the
Depository Register maintained by the CDP will not be treated, under the Cayman Companies
Law and our Articles, as members of our Company in respect of the number of our Shares credited
to their respective securities accounts. The Depositors and Depository Agents on whose behalf
CDP holds Shares for may not be accorded the full rights of membership such as voting rights, the
right to appoint proxies, or the right to receive shareholders circulars, proxy forms, annual reports,
prospectuses and takeover documents. In such an event, Depositors and Depository Agents will
be accorded only such rights as CDP may make available to them pursuant to CDPs terms and
conditions to act as depository for foreign securities.
Persons holding the Shares in Securities Account with CDP may withdraw the number of Shares
they own from the book-entry settlement system in the form of physical share certificates. Such
share certificates will, however, not be valid for delivery pursuant to trades transacted on Catalist
although they will be prima facie evidence of title and may be transferred in accordance with our
Articles. A fee of S$10 for each withdrawal of 1,000 Shares or less and a fee of S$25 for each
withdrawal of more than 1,000 Shares is payable upon withdrawing the Shares from the
book-entry settlement system and obtaining physical share certificates. In addition, a fee of S$2
or such other amount as our Directors may decide, is payable to the share registrar for each share
certificate issued and a stamp duty of 0.2% of the last-transacted price where it is withdrawn in
the name of a third party. Persons holding physical share certificates who wish to trade on Catalist
must deposit with CDP their share certificates together with the duly executed and stamped
instruments of transfer in favour of CDP, and have their respective Securities Accounts credited
with the number of Shares deposited before they can effect the desired trades. A fee of S$10 is
payable upon the deposit of each instrument of transfer with CDP. The above fees may be subject
to such changes as may be in accordance with CDPs prevailing policies or the current tax policies
that may be in force in Singapore from time to time. Pursuant to announced rules effective from
2 May 2014, transfers and settlements pursuant to on-exchange trades will be charged a fee of
S$30 and transfers and settlements pursuant to off-exchange trades will be charged a fee of
0.015% of the value of the transaction, subject to a minimum of S$75.
Transactions in the Shares under the book-entry settlement system will be reflected by the sellers
Securities Account being debited with the number of Shares sold and the buyers Securities
Account being credited with the number of Shares acquired. No transfer of stamp duty is payable
for the Shares that are settled on a book-entry basis.
A Singapore clearing fee for trades in our Shares on Catalist is payable at the rate of 0.04% of the
transaction value subject to a maximum of S$600 per transaction. The clearing fee, instrument of
transfer deposit fee and share withdrawal fee may be subject to Singapore goods and services tax
at 7.0% (or such other rate prevailing from time to time).

189

CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT


Dealings of our Shares will be carried out in Singapore dollars and will be effected for settlement
on CDP on a scripless basis. Settlement of trades on a normal ready basis on Catalist generally
takes place on the third Market Day following the transaction date, and payment for the securities
is generally settled on the following business day. CDP holds securities on behalf of investors in
Securities Accounts. An investor may open a direct account with CDP or a sub-account with a CDP
agent. The CDP agent may be a member company of the SGX-ST, bank, merchant bank or trust
company.

discontinued due to delay by UGSB, MYR618,411.82 for interest payable by Gridland due to
the delay by UGSB, all interest accruing and legal cost. Further, Gridlands counsel is
preparing the relevant application to transfer the matter to the High Court at Ipoh, as the

Dear Sirs
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of GCCP Resources Limited (the
Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) set out on pages A-6 to A-44, which
comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and
2013, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of

31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
Managements responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We

GCCP Resources Limited and its subsidiaries
Independent auditors report on audited consolidated financial statements of GCCP
Resources Limited
For the financial years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013
Auditors responsibility (contd)
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, and of its
financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board.
Restriction on distribution and use
This report is made solely to you as a body and for the inclusion in the Offer Document to be
issued in relation to the proposed listing of the shares of the Company in connection with the

Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1

Basis of preparation
Pursuant to the Restructuring Exercise as more fully explained in Note 1.2, the Company
became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group in December
2013. The companies now comprising the Group were under the common control of the
Controlling Shareholder before and after the Restructuring Exercise. Accordingly, for the
purpose of this report, the Restructuring Exercise has been accounted for by applying the
pooling of interest method of accounting as if the Restructuring Exercise had been
completed on 1 January 2011.
The consolidated statements of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2011,
2012 and 2013 have been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries
using the existing book values of the subsidiaries. No adjustments are made to reflect fair
values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities as a result of the Restructuring Exercise.
All intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated on combination.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with
the pooling of interest method. The assets and liabilities of the Company and its
subsidiaries are reflected at their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements. Any difference between the consideration and the share capital of the
subsidiary acquired is reflected within equity as merger reserve. The statement of
comprehensive income reflects the results of the Company and its subsidiaries for the
entire periods under review.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis
except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) except
when otherwise stated.

2.2

Fundamental accounting concept


Going concern
The Group incurred a net loss of MYR389,689, MYR1,574,589 and MYR2,341,724 during
the financial years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively. As at
31 December 2012 and 2013, the Groups total current liabilities exceeded its total current
assets by MYR1,350,310 and MYR15,232,094 respectively.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.2

Fundamental accounting concept (contd)


Going concern (contd)
In January, April and August 2014, the Company entered into Convertible Loan Agreements
for a total aggregate principal amount of Singapore Dollars (S$) 18.8 million at an interest
rate of 16% per annum that converts into ordinary fully paid shares when the Company
receives approval to list on the Singapore Stock Exchange. The term of the Convertible
Loan Agreements is 24 months from the drawdown date. The holders have the right to
demand repayment if the Company does not complete an initial public offering on the
Singapore Stock Exchange after 24 months from the drawdown date or abort the process
for the application of the initial public offering.
On 2 May 2014, one of the convertible loan holders has converted the convertible loan with
nominal value of S$4 million into new ordinary shares of the Company.
In the Directors opinion there is a reasonable expectation that adequate funding will
become available when necessary. Otherwise the Group will attempt to renegotiate the
repayment terms of the term loans. Accordingly, the directors are of the view that the use
of the going concern assumption is appropriate for the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements of the Group.

2.3

Changes in accounting policies


The accounting policies adopted are consistent throughout the financial years presented.
The Group has adopted all the new and revised standards that are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The adoption of these standards did not have
any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group.

2.4

The Group has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been

The directors expect that the adoption of the standards above will have no material impact
on the financial statements in the period of initial application except for the following:
IFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts
with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods
or services to a customer. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will
supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or
modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact
of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.
2.5

Basis of consolidation and business combinations


Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at
the end of the reporting period. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an
investee if, and only if, the Group has all of the following:

Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the
relevant activities of the investee)

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

Basis of consolidation and business combinations (contd)


Basis of consolidation (contd)
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary
and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and
expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed during the year are included in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the
Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the
equity holders of the parent of the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to the
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the
Groups accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses
and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full
on consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2011,
2012 and 2013 have been presented as if the Group had been in existence for all periods
presented and the assets and liabilities are brought into the consolidated financial
statements at the existing carrying amounts. The retained earnings recognised in the
consolidated financial statements are the retained earnings of Gridland Sdn. Bhd. and
Hyper Act Marketing Sdn. Bhd. as at 31 December 2011 and 2012, and the retained
earnings of Gridland Sdn. Bhd., Hyper Act Marketing Sdn. Bhd. and the Company as at
31 December 2013.
Under this method, the Company has been treated as the holding company of Gridland Sdn.
Bhd. and Hyper Act Marketing Sdn. Bhd. for the financial years presented rather than from
the date of completion of the Restructuring Exercise. Accordingly, the consolidated results
of the Group for the respective years include the results of the subsidiaries for the entire
years under review.
Pursuant to this,

Assets, liabilities, reserves, revenue and expense of Gridland Sdn. Bhd. and Hyper Act
Marketing Sdn. Bhd. are consolidated at their existing carrying amounts;

No amount is recognised for goodwill; and

For the purpose of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the share
capital as at 31 December 2011 and 2012 represented the issue and paid up share
capital of Gridland Sdn. Bhd. and Hyper Act Marketing Sdn. Bhd. The issued share
capital as at 31 December 2013 represented the share capital of the Company.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.6

Functional and foreign currency


The consolidated financial statements are presented in Malaysian Ringgit, which is also the
parent entitys functional currency and the Groups presentation currency. The Group does
not have any foreign operations.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate
of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the spot
rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to profit or loss.

2.7

Property, plant and equipment


All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to
recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of
replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying property, plant and
equipment. The accounting policy for borrowing costs is set out in Note 2.12. The cost of
an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in
intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and
depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is
recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the
recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in
profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows:

Leasehold land

31 to 44 years

Office equipment

10 years

Furniture and fittings

10 years

Renovation

10 years

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.
The assets useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting period and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use
or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is
included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
2.8

Impairment of non-financial assets


The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset
may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset
is required, the Group estimates the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable
amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs of disposal
and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the
asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other
assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the
function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication
that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such
indication exists, the Group estimates the assets or cash-generating units recoverable
amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the assumptions used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the

have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

2.9

Financial instruments initial recognition and subsequent measurement


A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and
a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a)

Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as loans and receivables. There
are no other categories of financial assets. Financial assets are recognised initially at
fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial
asset.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such
financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking
into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest income in profit or
loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss in other
operating expenses.
De-recognition
A financial asset is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset
have expired. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference
between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any
cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in profit or loss.

(b)

Impairment of financial assets


The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that
a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one
or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred
loss event), has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset
or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment
may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing
significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments,
the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and
observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future
cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with
defaults.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether
impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or
collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group
determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually
assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of
financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them
for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an
impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective
assessment of impairment.
The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between
the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
(excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present
value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial assets original
effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account
and the loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on
the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount
the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans
together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic
prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred
to the Group. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss
increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was

Impairment of financial assets (contd)


Financial assets carried at amortised cost (contd)
recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by
adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is
credited to other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

(c)

Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as loans and borrowings and
payables, as appropriate. The Group has not designated any financial liabilities upon
initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are recognised
initially at fair value and net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Groups financial liabilities include other payables, loans and borrowings including
bank overdrafts, term loans and obligations under finance leases.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised
in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR
amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation
is included as finance costs in profit or loss.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged
or cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the
de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit
or loss.

(d)

Offsetting of financial instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal
right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,
to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.10 Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and demand deposits
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These also include bank
overdrafts that form an integral part of the Groups cash management.
2.11

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will
be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value
of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase
in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

2.12 Borrowing costs


Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an
asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or
sale (a qualifying asset) are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with
the borrowing of funds.
Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount capitalised
represents the actual borrowing costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a
short term from funds borrowed specifically to finance a project, the income generated from
the temporary investment of such amounts is also capitalised and deducted from the total

capitalised borrowing cost. Where the funds used to finance a project form part of general
borrowings, the amount capitalised is calculated using a weighted average of rates
applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Group during the period.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.
2.13 Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Group makes contributions to the Employees Provident Fund scheme in Malaysia, a
defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension
schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is
performed.
2.14 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the
substance of the arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed to
determine whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset
or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right
is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Group as a lessee
Finance leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership
of the leased item to the Group, are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the
fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the
lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Finance charges are recognised as finance costs in profit or loss.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.14 Leases (contd)


Group as a lessee (contd)
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the
asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease
term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.15 Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow
to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment
is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes
or duty. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is
recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods.
Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding
recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.16 Taxes
(a)

Current income tax


Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates
and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates
taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in other comprehensive
income or equity is recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in
which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes
provisions where appropriate.

(b)

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except
when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability
in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry
forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred tax asset
relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised
deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax
asset to be recovered.

2.16 Taxes (contd)


(b)

Deferred tax (contd)


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting period.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside
profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the
deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(c)

Sales tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:

When the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not


recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the sales tax is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as
applicable; and

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included.

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
2.17 Share capital and share issuance expenses
Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted
against share capital.
2.18 Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, the
determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an
identified resource.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.18 Exploration and evaluation expenditure (contd)


Exploration and evaluation activity includes:

Researching and analysing historical exploration data

Gathering exploration data through geophysical studies

Exploratory drilling and sampling

Determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource

Surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements

Conducting market and finance studies

Licence costs paid in connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area are
capitalised and amortised over the term of the permit.
Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, exploration expenditure is charged to
profit or loss as incurred, unless the directors conclude that a future economic benefit is
more likely than not to be realised. These costs include directly attributable employee
remuneration, materials and fuels used, surveying costs, drilling costs and payments made
to contractors.
In evaluating whether the expenditures meet the criteria to be capitalised, several different
sources of information are used. The information that is used to determine the probability
of future benefits depends on the extent of exploration that has been performed.
2.19 Segment reporting
For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their
products and services. In 2011 and 2012, the Group was engaged in the business of trading
minerals. The Group ceased the business in trading minerals in the end of 2012 and moving
on to the business of exploration and mining of limestone. In 2013, the Group is in the
business of exploration and mining of limestone representing the only operating segment
for the year. No operating segment was reported as there is no revenue generated for the
year ended 31 December 2013.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates


Judgments made in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation
uncertainty
No critical judgments were made by management in the process of applying the Groups
accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the
consolidated financial statements. There are also no key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the end of the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Unrecognised tax losses


At the end of the reporting period, the Group has tax losses of approximately MYR
1,342,484 (2012: MYR 1,075,237, 2011: nil) that are available for offset against future
taxable profit of the Company in which the losses arose, for which no deferred tax asset is
recognised due to uncertainty of its recoverability. The use of these tax losses is subject to
the agreement of the tax authority and compliance with certain provisions of the tax
legislation of the country in which the Company operates.
9.

Loss per share


Loss per share was calculated by dividing the Groups loss for the year attributable to
owners of the Company for the respective years by the pre-invitation share capital of the
Company. For illustrative purposes, the Companys pre-invitation share capital of 200
shares was assumed to be in issue throughout the entire years presented on the
assumption that the Restructuring Exercise had been completed on 1 January 2011.
Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as there were no potential dilutive
ordinary shares existing during the respective years.

Fair value of assets and liabilities


(a)

Fair value hierarchy


The Group categorises fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that is
dependent on the valuation inputs used as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities
that the Group can access at the measurement date,
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and
Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Fair value measurements that use inputs of different hierarchy levels are categorised
in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that
is significant to the entire measurement.

(b)

Fair value of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value
and whose carrying amounts are not a reasonable approximation of fair value
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities by classes that are not carried at fair
value and whose carrying amounts are not reasonable approximation of fair value are

Financial risk management objectives and policies


The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risk is liquidity risk. The board of directors reviews and
agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks. It is, and has been
throughout the years under review, the Groups policy that no trading in derivatives for
speculative purposes shall be undertaken. The Group does not apply hedge accounting.
There has been no change to the Groups exposure to this financial risk or the manner in
which it manages and measures the risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial
obligations due to shortage of funds. The Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily
from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Groups objective
is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of
stand-by credit facilities.
The Groups liquidity risk management policy is to maintain sufficient liquid financial assets
and stand-by credit facilities with various banks. In addition, the Group monitors and
maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to
finance the Groups operation and mitigate the effect of fluctuations in cash flows.
The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and
concluded it to be low. Access to sources of funding is sufficiently available and debts
maturity within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders, if necessary.

Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1

Basis of Preparation
Pursuant to the Restructuring Exercise as more fully explained in Note 1.2, the Company
became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group in December
2013. The companies now comprising the Group were under the common control of the
Controlling Shareholder before and after the Restructuring Exercise. Accordingly, for the
purpose of this report, the Restructuring Exercise has been accounted for by applying the
pooling of interest method of accounting as if the Restructuring Exercise had been
completed on 1 January 2013.
The interim consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30
September 2014 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost
basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)
except when otherwise stated.

2.2

Changes in accounting policies


The accounting policies adopted are consistent throughout the financial period presented.
The Group has adopted all the new and revised standards that are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The adoption of these standards did not have
any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group.

2.3

Standards issued but not yet effective


The Group has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.3

Standards issued but not yet effective (contd)


The directors expect that the adoption of the standards above will have no material impact
on the financial statements in the period of initial application except for the following:
IFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts
with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods
or services to a customer. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will
supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or
modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact of
IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

2.4

Basis of consolidation and business combinations


Basis of consolidation
The interim consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the
Group as at the end of the reporting period. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed,
or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability
to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls
an investee if, and only if, the Group has all of the following:

Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the
relevant activities of the investee)

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary
and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and
expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed during the period are included in the interim
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the
Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

2.4

Basis of consolidation and business combinations (contd)


Basis of consolidation (contd)
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the
equity holders of the parent of the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to the
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the
Groups accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses
and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full
on consolidation.

2.5

Functional and foreign currency


The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Malaysian Ringgit, which is
also the parent entitys functional currency and the Groups presentation currency. The
Group does not have any foreign operations.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate
of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the spot
rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to profit or loss.

2.6

Property, plant and equipment


All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to
recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of
replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying property, plant and
equipment. The accounting policy for borrowing costs is set out in Note 2.12. The cost of
an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in
intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and
depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is
recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the
recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in
profit or loss as incurred.

Property, plant and equipment (contd)


Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the

10 years

Furniture and fittings

Water tank and pump:

10 years

Tool and utensil:

Plant and machinery

5 years

Crusher plant

15 years

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.
The assets useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting period and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use
or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is
included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

2.7

Impairment of non-financial assets


The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset
may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset
is required, the Group estimates the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable
amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs of disposal
and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the
asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other
assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the
function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication
that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such
indication exists, the Group estimates the assets or cash-generating units recoverable
amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the assumptions used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the
asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior periods. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

2.8

Financial instruments initial recognition and subsequent measurement


A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and
a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a)

Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as loans and receivables. There
are no other categories of financial assets. Financial assets are recognised initially at
fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial
asset.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.8

Financial instruments initial recognition and subsequent measurement (contd)


(a)

Financial assets (contd)


Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such
financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking
into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest income in profit or
loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss in other
operating expenses.
De-recognition
A financial asset is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset
have expired. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference
between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any
cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in profit or loss.

(b)

Impairment of financial assets


The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that
a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one
or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred
loss event), has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset
or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment
may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing

(b)

Impairment of financial assets (contd)


Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether
impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or
collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group
determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually
assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of
financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them
for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an
impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective
assessment of impairment.
The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between
the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
(excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present
value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial assets original
effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account
and the loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on
the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount
the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans
together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic
prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred
to the Group. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss
increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by
adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is
credited to other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial instruments initial recognition and subsequent measurement (contd)


(c)

Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as loans and borrowings and
payables, as appropriate. The Group has not designated any financial liabilities upon
initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are recognised
initially at fair value and net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Groups financial liabilities include other payables, loans and borrowings including
bank overdrafts, term loans and obligations under finance leases.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised
in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR
amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation
is included as finance costs in profit or loss.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged
or cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference
in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

(d)

Offsetting of financial instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
interim consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable
legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.9

Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and demand deposits
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These also include bank
overdrafts that form an integral part of the Groups cash management.

2.10 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will
be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value
of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase
in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
2.11

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

Finished goods and work-in-progress: costs of direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. These
costs are assigned on a weighted average cost basis.

Where necessary, allowance is provided for damaged, obsolete and slow moving items to
adjust the carrying value of inventories to the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.12 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an
asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or
sale (a qualifying asset) are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with
the borrowing of funds.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

2.12 Borrowing costs (contd)


Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount capitalised
represents the actual borrowing costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a
short term from funds borrowed specifically to finance a project, the income generated from
the temporary investment of such amounts is also capitalised and deducted from the total
capitalised borrowing cost. Where the funds used to finance a project form part of general
borrowings, the amount capitalised is calculated using a weighted average of rates
applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Group during the period.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.
2.13 Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Group makes contributions to the Employees Provident Fund scheme in Malaysia, a
defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension
schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is
performed.
2.14 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the
substance of the arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed to
determine whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset
or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right
is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Group as a lessee
Finance leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership
of the leased item to the Group, are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the
fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the
lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Finance charges are recognised as finance costs in profit or loss.

2.14 Leases (contd)


Group as a lessee (contd)
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the
asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease
term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.15 Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow
to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment
is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes
or duty. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is
recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods.
Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding
recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
2.16 Taxes
(a)

Current income tax


Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates
and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates
taxable income.

2.16 Taxes (contd)


(a)

Current income tax (contd)


Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in other comprehensive
income or equity is recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in
which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes
provisions where appropriate.

(b)

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except
when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability
in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry
forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred tax asset
relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised
deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax
asset to be recovered.

(b)

Deferred tax (contd)


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
period.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside
profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the
deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(c) Sales tax


Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:

When the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not


recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the sales tax is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as
applicable; and

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included.

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included as part of receivables or payables in the interim consolidated statement of
financial position.
2.17 Share capital and share issuance expenses
Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted
against share capital.

2.18 Exploration and evaluation expenditure


Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, the
determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an
identified resource.
Exploration and evaluation activity includes:

Researching and analysing historical exploration data

Gathering exploration data through geophysical studies

Exploratory drilling and sampling

Determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource

Surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements

Conducting market and finance studies

Licence costs paid in connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area are
capitalised and amortised over the term of the permit.
Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, exploration expenditure is charged to
profit or loss as incurred, unless the directors conclude that a future economic benefit is
more likely than not to be realised. These costs include directly attributable employee
remuneration, materials and fuels used, surveying costs, drilling costs and payments made
to contractors.
In evaluating whether the expenditures meet the criteria to be capitalised, several different
sources of information are used. The information that is used to determine the probability
of future benefits depends on the extent of exploration that has been performed.
2.19 Segment reporting
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which
involves exploration for limestone. All of the Groups activities are interrelated, and discrete
financial information is reported to the Board as a single segment.
Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one
segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements
of the Group as a whole. Total expenditure incurred by the Group arises in Malaysia Ringgit
(MYR) and all of the Groups non-current assets reside in Malaysia.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates


Judgments made in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation
uncertainty
No critical judgments were made by management in the process of applying the Groups
accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the interim
consolidated financial statements. There are also no key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the end of the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial period.

Relationship between tax expense and loss before tax (contd)
Unrecognised tax losses
At the end of the reporting period, the Group has tax losses of approximately MYR
3,165,000 (As at 30 September 2013: MYR 1,843,000) that are available for offset against
future taxable profit of the company in which the losses arose, for which no deferred tax
asset is recognised due to uncertainty of its recoverability. The use of these tax losses is
subject to the agreement of the tax authority and compliance with certain provisions of the
tax legislation of the country in which the company operates.

9.

Loss per share


Loss per share was calculated by dividing the Groups loss for the nine-month period ended
30 September 2014 attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average
pre-invitation share capital of 9,801 shares.
For illustrative purposes, as at 30 September 2013, 200 shares were assumed to be issued
throughout the entire periods presented on the assumption that the Restructuring Exercise
had been completed on 1 January 2013.
The calculation of diluted loss per share amounts is based on the loss for the period
attributable to equity holder of the Company, adjusted to reflect the interest on convertible
loans and the fair value gain/loss on the derivative component of the convertible loans,
where applicable.
No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amounts presented for the
nine-month period ended 30 September 2014 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the
convertible loans outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share
amounts presented.

Fair value hierarchy


The Group categorises fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that is
dependent on the valuation inputs used as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities
that the Group can access at the measurement date,
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and
Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Fair value measurements that use inputs of different hierarchy levels are categorised
in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that
is significant to the entire measurement.

(i)

Information about significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value


measurements (contd)
The fair value of the embedded derivative within the convertible loans has been
determined by estimating the probability that the listing will occur and applying
this probability to the value of the free shares being provided to the convertible
loan holders. In performing this valuation, it is noted that the value of the free
shares does not change irrespective of the listing price of the Company. The
maximum theoretical value of free shares issued to the convertible loan holders
upon conversion is worth S$33,758,000 (MYR 86,758,000). The exchange rate at
30 September 2014 was used to convert the instrument into Malaysia Ringgit.
The following table shows the impact on the Level 3 fair value measurement of
assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changes in unobservable inputs that

Valuation policies and procedures (contd)


For all significant financial reporting valuations using valuation models and

valuation experts to perform the valuation. The CFO is responsible for selecting
and engaging valuation experts that possess the relevant credentials and
knowledge on the subject of valuation, valuation methodologies, and IFRS 13 fair
value measurement guidance.
For valuations performed by external valuation experts, the CFO reviews the
appropriateness of the valuation methodologies and assumptions adopted. The
CFO also evaluates the appropriateness and reliability of the inputs (including
those developed internally by the Group) used in valuations.
Significant changes in fair value measurements from period to period are
evaluated by the CFO for reasonableness. Key drivers of the changes are
identified and assessed for reasonableness against relevant information from
independent sources., or internal sources if necessary and appropriate.

Financial risk management objectives and policies


The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk and liquidity risk. The board of
directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks.
It is, and has been throughout the periods, the Groups policy that no trading in derivatives
for speculative purposes shall be undertaken. The Group does not apply hedge accounting.
There has been no change to the Groups exposure to these financial risks or the manner
in which it manages and measures the risk.
(a)

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should
a counterparty default on its obligations. The Groups exposure to credit risk arises
primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets (including cash
and bank balances), the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high
credit rating counterparties.
Exposure to credit risk
At the end of the reporting period, the Groups maximum exposure to credit risk is
represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the
statement of financial position.

(a)

Credit risk (contd)


Credit risk concentration
At the end of the reporting period, 100% of the Groups trade receivables was due from
a customer.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are with
creditworthy debtors with good payment record with the Group. Cash and bank
balances that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with reputable financial
institutions with high credit ratings.
Financial assets that are either past due or impaired
Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed
in Note 12.

(b)

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial
obligations due to shortage of funds. The Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises
primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The
Groups objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility
through the use of stand-by credit facilities.
The Groups liquidity risk management policy is to maintain sufficient liquid financial
assets and stand-by credit facilities with various banks. In addition, the Group
monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the
management to finance the Groups operation and mitigate the effect of fluctuations in
cash flows.
The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and
concluded it to be low. Access to sources of funding is sufficiently available and debts
maturity within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders, if necessary.

segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements
of the Group as a whole. Total expenditure incurred by the Group arises in Malaysia Ringgit
(MYR) and all of the Groups non-current assets reside in Malaysia. The Groups revenue

Dear Sirs
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial
information of GCCP Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
Group) by management. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma
consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2013 and 30 September 2014,
the pro forma consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December
2013 and the nine-month period ended 30 September 2014, the pro forma consolidated
statements of cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2013 and the nine-month period ended
30 September 2014, and related notes as set out in pages C-14 to C-17 of the Offer Document
issued by the Group. The applicable criteria on the basis of which management has compiled the
pro forma financial information are described in Note 3.
The pro forma financial information has been compiled by management to illustrate the impact of
the events set out in Note 2 on the Groups financial position as at 31 December 2013 and 30
September 2014 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 December
2013 and the nine-month period ended 30 September 2014 as if the events had taken place at 1
January 2013 and 1 January 2014 respectively. As part of this process, information about the
Groups financial position, financial performance and cash flows has been extracted by
management from the Groups audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013
and the nine-month period ended 30 September 2014.
Managements responsibility for the pro forma financial information
Management is responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis as
described in Note 3.
Practitioners responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the pro forma financial information has
been compiled, in all material respects, by management on the basis as described in Note 3.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with Singapore Standard on Assurance
Engagements (SSAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma
Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered

GCCP Resources Limited and its subsidiaries
Independent practitioners assurance report on the compilation of pro forma financial
information included in the offer document
Practitioners responsibilities (contd)
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or
opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial
information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the
financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.
The purpose of pro forma financial information included in a preliminary offer document is solely
to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of
the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date
selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the
actual outcome of the event or transaction at 1 January 2013 and 1 January 2014 would have
been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has
been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing
procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by management in the compilation of
the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects
directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about
whether:
(i)

The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

(ii)

The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the
unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the practitioners judgment, having regard to the
practitioners understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of
which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement
circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial
information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

Notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information
For the financial year ended 31 December 2013 and the nine-month period ended
30 September 2014
Notes to the pro forma adjustments
The unaudited pro forma financial information is arrived at based on the assumptions that the
significant events as disclosed in Note 2 have taken place on 1 January 2013 for the year ended
31 December 2013 and 1 January 2014 for the nine months ended 30 September 2014.
(A)

The pro forma adjustment reflects the interest accrual of convertible loan issued as disclosed
in Note 2 (a) and (b). The finance cost relates to the accretion of carrying amount of liability
component to the principal amount of convertible loan.

(B)

The pro forma adjustment reflects the accounting treatment for loss on conversion of the
convertible loan into new ordinary shares of the Company as disclosed in Note 2 (a) and (b)
at a conversion price which ranges from 50% to 65% of the target valuation of S$200 million
divided by the number of shares prior to conversion.

(C) The pro forma adjustment reflects the Convertible Loan Agreements entered by the
Company as disclosed in Note 2 (a) and (b). It is assumed that the Listing Approval was
obtained in March 2015, and all convertible loans with total aggregate principal amount of
Singapore Dollars (S$) 14.8 million (31.12.2013: S$18.8 million) are converted into
ordinary fully paid shares accordingly. The accounting treatment for loss on conversion of the
convertible loan is accounted for under pro forma adjustment (B).
(D) The pro forma adjustment reflects an issuance of ordinary shares pursuant to a capitalisation
of loans owing to the Director on 2 May 2014 as disclosed in Note 2 (c).

(b)

In August 2014, the Company entered into Convertible Loan Agreements for a total
aggregate principal amount of S$8.8 million at an interest rate of 16% per annum that

the financial results and cash flows of the Group for the financial year ended 31
December 2013 and the nine-month period ended 30 September 2014 would have been
if the significant change to the capital structure of the Group as disclosed in Note 2 had
occurred on 1 January 2013 and 1 January 2014, respectively; and

(ii)

the financial position of the Group would have been, as at 31 December 2013 and 30
September 2014 if the significant change to the capital structure of the Group as
disclosed in Note 2 had occurred on 31 December 2013 and 30 September 2014.

consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December
2013 and the audited interim consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period
ended 30 September 2014 which were prepared in accordance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards

Dividends and distribution (Articles 136, 137, 138, 140 and 143)
Subject to the Cayman Companies Law, the Company in general meeting may from time
to time declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the members but no dividend
shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the Board. Dividends may
be declared and paid out of the profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, or from
any reserve set aside from profits which the Directors determine is no longer needed.
With the sanction of an ordinary resolution, dividends may also be declared and paid
out of the share premium account or any other fund or account which may be authorised
for this purpose in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law, provided that no
distribution or dividend may be paid to Members out of the share premium account
unless, immediately following the date on which the distribution or dividend is proposed
to be paid, the Company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary
course of business.
Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share otherwise
provide (i) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on
the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid, but no amount paid up on a share
in advance of calls shall be treated as paid up on the share; and (ii) all dividends shall
be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid up on the shares during
any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid. The Board
may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to a member by the Company
on or in respect of any shares all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to
the Company on account of calls or otherwise.
All dividends or bonuses unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be

claimed. Any dividend or bonuses unclaimed after a period of six years from the date
of declaration shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

chairman of the meeting shall determine which proxy shall be entitled to vote where a
member (other than CDP) is represented by two proxies, and (ii) on a poll every member
present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a member being a corporation, by its duly
authorised representative shall have one vote for every fully paid share of which he is
the holder or which he represents and in respect of which all calls due to the Company
have been paid, but so that no amount paid up or credited as paid up on a share in
advance of calls or instalments is treated for the foregoing purposes as paid up on the
share. If the member is CDP, CDP may appoint more than two proxies to attend and

declared or distribution approved by the Company in general meeting in accordance
with the Cayman Companies Law.

(d)

Share in surplus upon liquidation (Article 163)


Shareholders are entitled to the surplus assets of the Company in the event that it is
wound up. If the Company shall be wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary or by
the court) the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution and any other
sanction required by the Cayman Companies Law, divide among the members in specie
or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company and whether or not the
assets shall consist of properties of one kind or shall consist of properties to be divided
as aforesaid of different kinds, and may for such purpose set such value as he deems
fair upon any one or more class or classes of property and may determine how such
division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members.
The liquidator may, with the like authority, vest any part of the assets in trustees upon
such trusts for the benefit of the members as the liquidator with the like authority shall
think fit, and the liquidation of the Company may be closed and the Company dissolved,
but so that no contributory shall be compelled to accept any shares or other property in
respect of which there is a liability.

(e)

Redemption provisions
The shares do not have redemption rights.

(f)

Sinking fund

Calls on shares (Articles 25, 26, 28 and 33)


Subject to the Articles and to the terms of allotment, the Board may from time to time
make calls upon the members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares (whether
on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium). A call may be
made payable either in one lump sum or by instalments. If a sum called in respect of a
share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from
whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day appointed
for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate (not exceeding twenty per
cent. (20%) per annum) as the Board may determine, but the Board may in its absolute
discretion waive payment of such interest wholly or in part. The Board may, if it thinks
fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, and either in money or
moneys worth, all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid or instalments
payable upon any shares held by him and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced
(until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at
such rate (if any) as the Board may decide.

D-4

APPENDIX D SELECTED EXTRACTS OF OUR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION


The Memorandum of Association states that the liability of members of the Company is
limited to the amount, if any, for the time being unpaid on the shares respectively held
by them.
(h)

Discriminatory provisions against substantial shareholder (Article 167)


The Articles do not contain any provision discriminating against any existing or
prospective holder of shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial
number of shares save that for so long as the shares of the Company are listed on the
Designated Stock Exchange (which includes the SGX-ST), substantial shareholders
(having the meaning ascribed to it in the Singapore Companies Act) have to disclose
particulars of their interest in the Company and of any change in the percentage level
of such interest. Such requirement to disclose does not apply to CDP.

(i)

Transfer of shares (Articles 19 and 46 to 51)


A shareholder may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in the
form acceptable to the Board provided always that the Company shall accept for
registration an instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Designated Stock
Exchange (which includes the SGX-ST). The instrument of transfer of any share shall
be executed by or on behalf of both the transferor and the transferee and be witnessed,
except that an instrument of transfer in respect of which the transferee is CDP shall be
effective although not signed or witnessed by or on behalf of CDP, and provided further
that when a corporation executes an instrument of transfer under seal, the affixation
and attestation of the corporations seal may be accepted as compliance with the
requirements of the Articles.
Save as provided in the Articles, there shall be no restriction on the transfer of fully paid
up shares (except where required by law, or the rules or regulations of the Designated
Stock Exchange).
The Articles provide that no transfer shall be made to an infant or to a person of
unsound mind or under other legal disability. Further, under the Articles, the Board may
decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless: (a) a fee of such sum (not
exceeding S$2.00 or such other maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may
determine to be payable) as the Board may from time to time require is paid to the
Company in respect thereof; (b) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class
of share; (c) the instrument of transfer is presented to the Company together with the
relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably
require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of
transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so
to do); and (d) if applicable, the instrument of transfer is duly and properly stamped.
If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share, it shall, within one (1) month after
the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the
transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.
The registration of transfers of shares or of any class of shares may, after notice has
been given in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Designated Stock
Exchange, be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Board may
determine.

D-5

APPENDIX D SELECTED EXTRACTS OF OUR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION


The Board in so far as permitted by any applicable law may, in its absolute discretion,
at any time and from time to time transfer any share upon the Register of Members of
the Company to any branch register or any share on any branch register to the Register
of Members of the Company or any other branch register. In the event of any such
transfer, the shareholder requesting such transfer shall bear the cost of effecting the
transfer unless the Board otherwise determines.
Unless the Board otherwise agrees (which agreement may be on such terms and
subject to such conditions as the Board in its absolute discretion may from time to time
determine, and which agreement the Board shall, without giving any reason therefor, be
entitled in its absolute discretion to give or withhold), no shares upon the Register of
Members of the Company shall be transferred to any branch register nor shall shares
on any branch register be transferred to the Register of Members of the Company or
any other branch register and all transfers and other documents of title shall be lodged
for registration, and registered, in the case of any shares on a branch register, at the
relevant registration office, and, in the case of any shares on the Register of Members
of the Company, at the registered office of the Company or such other place at which
the Register of Members is kept in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law.
Upon every transfer of shares the certificate held by the transferor shall be given up to
be cancelled, and a new certificate shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the
shares transferred to him. Where a shareholder transfers part only of the shares
comprised in a certificate, the old certificate or certificates shall be cancelled and a new
certificate or certificates for the balance of such shares issued in lieu thereof and such
Member shall pay all or any part of the stamp duty payable (if any) on each share
certificate prior to the delivery thereof which the Board in its absolute discretion may
require and such fee as is provided in the Articles.
4.

Variation of rights of existing shares or classes of shares (Article 10)


The special rights attached to any class of shares may be varied or abrogated either with the
consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters in nominal value of the issued shares of
the class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting
of the holders of the shares of the class (but not otherwise) and may be so repaid, varied or
abrogated either whilst the Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a
winding-up. To every such separate general meeting and all adjournments thereof all the
provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings of the Company and to the proceedings
thereat shall mutatis mutandis apply, except that the necessary quorum (other than at an
adjourned meeting) shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy at least
one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of the class and at any adjourned meeting of
such holders, two holders present in person or by proxy (whatever the number of shares held
by them) shall be a quorum and that any holder of shares of the class present in person or
by proxy may demand a poll and that every such holder shall on a poll have one vote for
every share of the class held by him.
The Cayman Companies Law does not contain provisions determining the action necessary
to change the rights of holders of shares, and thus the Articles impose more significant
conditions than the Cayman Companies Law in this regard.

D-6

APPENDIX D SELECTED EXTRACTS OF OUR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION


5.

General meetings (Articles 2, 55, 56, 57, 58, 75 and 79)


Under the Cayman Companies Law, there is no distinction between annual general meetings
and other general meetings. Under the Articles, the Company may in each year hold a
general meeting as its annual general meeting and the Directors may, whenever they think
fit, convene an extraordinary general meeting.
Article 2 defines an ordinary resolution as one passed by a simple majority of votes cast by
members at general meetings, and a special resolution as a resolution requiring a 75 per
cent. (75%) majority vote of members at general meetings of which (pursuant to Article 58)
not less than 21 days notice shall be given.
All registered shareholders of the Company are entitled to attend general meetings of the
Company (provided that all calls or other sums presently payable by such shareholders in
respect of shares in the Company have been paid). The Cayman Companies Law does not
contain provisions as to any documentary evidence to be produced by proxies and corporate
representatives. However, such provisions may be contained in the Articles. Where, for
example, it is stated that the instrument of proxy must be deposited a specified number of
hours before the meeting (see Article 79), an instrument of proxy deposited after that time
cannot be accepted.
Corporate representatives are different from proxies and unless specifically required by the
Articles, a letter of appointment does not need to be lodged before the meeting. There are
currently no such provisions in the Articles.

6.

No limitation on non-Caymanian shareholders


There are no limitations, either under Cayman Islands law or the Articles, on the rights of
owners of the Companys shares to hold or vote their shares solely by reason that they are
non-Caymanians.

7.

Shareholding disclosure requirement (Article 167)


The Cayman Companies Law does not require disclosure of shareholder ownership beyond
a certain threshold. However, Article 167 contains provisions to the effect that for so long as
the shares of the Company are listed on the Designated Stock Exchange (which includes the
SGX-ST), Directors and substantial shareholders (having the meaning ascribed to it in the
Singapore Companies Act) of the Company will have to disclose particulars of their interest
in the Company and any change in the percentage level of such interest. Article 167 does not
apply to CDP.

8.

Changes in capital (Articles 4 and 6)


Under the Cayman Companies Law, certain changes in the capital of a company such as an
increase, consolidation or sub-division are permitted if authorised by its articles of
association. Article 4 provides that an ordinary resolution is required for an increase to, or
consolidation or sub-division of, the Companys share capital. With regard to a reduction of
share capital, Article 6, following the requirement of the Cayman Companies Law, requires
a special resolution to be passed.

9.

Applicability of the Singapore Take-over and Merger Laws and Regulations (Article
167(4))
For so long as the shares of the Company are listed on the Designated Stock Exchange
(which includes the SGX-ST), the provisions of sections 138, 139 and 140 of the Singapore
Securities and Futures Act (Cap. 289) and the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to all take-over offers for shares of the Company.
