    The most significant factors contributing to our financial performance overFY2014 compared to FY2013 are as follows:

    • Our revenue decreased by approximately S$1.0 million, or 27.5%, fromS$3.4 million in FY2013 to S$2.4 million in FY2014 mainly due tothe decrease in cleaning management services contracts from KoufuPte Ltd. This was partially offset by the new contracts secured such as

     NTUC Foodfare Cooperative Ltd, ABC Brickworks Business Association,Paradise Group and a public tertiary hospital which is the first and largestgeneral hospital located in the central part of Singapore.

    • Our overall gross loss increased by S$0.2 million, or 44.6%, from S$0.5million in FY2013 to S$0.7 million in FY2014. Our gross loss marginincreased from a gross loss margin of 14.0% in FY2013 to a gross lossmargin of 27.8% in FY2014. The increase in gross loss margin was mainlydue to the increase in labour costs and overhead expenses as we continuescaling up our operations.

    • Our loss before tax increased by S$0.3 million, or 25.6%, from S$1.0million in FY2013 to S$1.3 million in FY2014 mainly due to an increasein gross loss by S$0.2 million as aforementioned and an increase inadministrative expenses by S$0.4 million as a result of an increase inheadcount in line with the increase in our business activities. This is

     partial ly offset by the increase in other income by S$0.4 million mainlyattributable to the increase in government grants received in FY2014 ofS$0.4 million.

    • In FY2014, we recorded net cash used in operating activities of S$1.2million, which comprised operating cash flows before changes in workingcapital of approximately S$0.3 million, net working capital outflow ofS$1.4 million, net interest payment of approximately S$59,000 and incometax payment of approximately S$45,000. The working capital outflow wasmainly due to an increase of S$3.2 million in trade and other receivableswhich was partially offset by an increase in trade and other payables ofS$1.8 million.

    • As at 31 December 2014, shareholders’ equity amounted to S$8.6 millionand comprised (i) share capital of S$3.0 million; (ii) retained earnings ofS$2.7 million and (iii) revaluation reserve of S$2.9 million relating to the

    revaluation of our properties upon the transfer from property, plant andequipment to investment properties carried at fair value.

    The most significant factors contributing to our financial performance over1H2014 compared to 1H2015 are as follows:

    • Our revenue increased by approximately S$2.2 million, or 193.6%from S$1.2 million in 1H2014 to S$3.4 million in 1H2015 mainly dueto additional new contracts secured during 1H2015 such as Big Box,F&B tenants located in shopping malls such as IMM, The Star Vista andWestgate and the increased revenue contribution from Paradise Group anda public tertiary hospital which is the first and largest general hospitallocated in the central part of Singapore.

    • Our overall gross profit increased by S$0.5 million from a gross loss of

    S$0.2 million in 1H2014 to a gross profit of S$0.3 million in 1H2015. Ourgross profit margin increased from a gross loss margin of 16.1% in 1H2014to gross profit margin of 7.8% in 1H2015 which was mainly attributableto the more than proportionate increase in revenue as compared to theincrease in labour costs and overhead expenses as our operations achievedeconomies of scale from the increase in volume.

    • Our loss before tax decreased by S$0.3 million, or 83.1%, from S$0.4million in 1H2014 to S$64,000 in 1H2015 mainly due to the increase ingross profit by S$0.5 million as aforementioned and the increase in otherincome by S$0.6 million mainly attributable to (i) rental income of S$0.3million from our property in 16A Sungei Kadut Way; and (ii) governmentgrants of S$0.4 million received in 1H2015. This was partially offset bythe increase in administrative expenses of S$0.7 million as a result of anincrease in headcount in line with the increase in our business activities.

    WHAT ARE THE KEY TRENDS, UNCERTAINTIES, DEMANDS, COMMITMENTS OR EVENTSWHICH ARE REASONABLY LIKELY TO HAVE A MATERIAL EFFECT ON US?

    Based on the revenue and operations of our Group as at the Latest PracticableDate, our Directors observed the following trends for FY2014 and 1H2015:

    (a) As a result of greater economies of scale, we have managed to recordgross profit for the first time in our operating history for 1H2015. As aresult of increasing sales and lower than proportionate increase in ourcost of sales due to economies of scale, our gross profit margin shouldimprove going forward.

    (b) As a result of higher manpower costs from, (i) a tight labour market;(ii) the increase in operations and general workers in anticipation ofthe new contracts signed and with the establishment of our centraliseddishware washing facilities at IMM and Big Box in 4Q2014, as well asthe new facility to be set up at 8 Loyang Way 4; and (iii) the increase inadministrative, human resources and finance employees in preparationfor the expansion of our business, we might continue to register a netloss for FY2015. However, our total operating expenses as a percentageof revenue is expected to continue to decline as more food courts,restaurants, coffee shops, and other eateries contract for our services,resulting in increased sales.

    (c) Our depreciation cost is expected to increase as a result of investmentsin new dishware washing equipment for the aforesaid new centralised

    commercial dishware washing facilities.(d) Our operating expenses are expected to increase, amongst others, in line with

    our expansion plans and due to the fees and expenses incurred in relation tothe Placement, compliance costs as a listed company as well as the impactof the service agreements entered into with our Executive Directors.

    The above are not the only trends, uncertainties, demands, commitmentsor events that could affect us. Please refer to the other factors set out inthe sections entitled “Risk Factors” on pages 31 to 43, “Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position”on pages 58 to 75 and “Prospects, Business Strategies and Future Plans”on pages 108 to 113 of the Offer Document.

    Refer to the sections entitled “Risk Factors” on pages31 to 43;  “Management’s

     Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financ ia l Posi tion” on pages 59 to 76;  “Prospects, Business St ra tegies and

     Future Plans” on pages111 to 115 and “Cautionary

     Notes Regarding Forward- Looking S ta tements”on pages 12 to 14 of theOffer Document for moreinformation on our businessand financial prospects.

    WHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS WHICH HAD MATERIALLY AFFECTED ORCOULD MATERIALLY AFFECT US AND YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES?

    We consider the following to be the most important key risks which hadmaterially affected or could materially affect our business operations, financial

     position and results, and your investment in our Shares.

    • We have a history of losses and negative cash flow and have yet toestablish a strong track record, and may remain unprofitable.  Wehad net losses before tax of S$0.4 million, S$1.0 million, S$1.3 millionand S$64,000 for FY2012, FY2013, FY2014 and 1H2015, respectively.We also had negative operating cash flow of S$0.8 million, S$0.1 million,S$1.2 million and S$3.2 million for FY2012, FY2013, FY2014 and1H2015, respectively. There can be no assurance that our Group will be

    able to secure sufficient contracts for our services to generate significantrevenue and to attain profitability, or if attained, there can be no assurancethat we will be able to sustain the profitability for our Group. We expectto incur significant operating expenses in connection with the continueddevelopment and expansion of our business, which include plans to set upadditional centralised dishware washing facilities, and this could adverselyimpact our profitability and cash flow.

    • We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, whichmakes it difficult to predict our future prospects. We have a limitedoperating history in the semi-automated dishware washing industrywhich is still evolving and may not develop as expected.

    • Our business has low barriers to entry and our performance willdepend on our ability to compete effectively against our existing andfuture competitors.  In the event that our competitors possess greaterfinancial resources and better equipment or are able to successfullydevelop technologies and equipment that outperform us, they may beable to compete effectively against us and may further be able to respondmore quickly to changes in customer requirements. There is no assurancethat other competitors will not surpass our performance in the future.Accordingly, our business, revenue and profitability may be materially andadversely affected if we are not able to compete effectively or maintain

    competitiveness in the market.

    • Our centralised commercial dishware washing facility line is notpatentable and may be replicated by other competitors. In the event someof our competitors are able to replicate our centralised commercial dishwarewashing facility line and make improvements to our existing dishwarewashing facility line, we may not be able to compete effectively withthese competitors, and may not be able to successfully retain our existingcustomers or attract new customers over our competitors. In addition, ourcompetitors may also have or may develop their services to provide a suiteof cleaning services to their customers. In the event of any of the foregoing,our business financial performance will be adversely affected.

    • Our profitability may be adversely affected if we are unable to pass

    on any increases in our cost of operations to our customers.   Thecontract value quoted in the tender submission to our customers is on amonthly basis and is determined based on internal costing and budgetaryevaluations on costs such as labour costs and cost of supplies, including anyindicative pricing of the various suppliers and sub-contractors. Unforeseencircumstances such as unanticipated rise in supplies or labour costs mayarise during the tenure of the contract. Additional volume of crockerywhich has not previously factored into the contract value may also haveto be carried out and additional breakage of crockery above the breakageallowance set out in the respective contracts during washing and/ordelivery will result in higher cost of operations. These circumstances willlead to cost overruns which will impact our profit margin or may resultin losses. There is no assurance that such cost overruns will not arise inthe future and if we are unable to pass on any increases in our cost of

    operations to our customers, our business, financial condition, results ofoperations may be materially and adversely affected.

    • We have limited long-term contracts which are entered into with ourcustomers and our customer contracts may be subject to non-renewaland/or early termination.  A majority of the contracts and agreementsentered into with our customers are for a duration of 1 year, some of whichmay provide an option to extend the contract for a further period of 3 monthsor 1 year. As many of our arrangements with our customers are relativelyshort-term, there can be no assurance that any or all of our customers willcontinue to do business with us in the future, and there can be no assurancethat our customers will not seek more favourable terms from any of ourcompetitors when our contracts expire. If we are unable to renew ourcontracts with our customers, or if our customers choose to terminate their

    contracts with us prematurely, our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and/or prospects could be materially adversely affected.

    • Our order book may not be an accurate indicator of our futureperformance.  As at the Latest Practicable Date, our order book basedon secured contracts was approximately S$18.2 million. In addition, thevalue of contracts assuming that all our customers exercised the option toextend their contracts based on the existing prices charged is approximatelyS$19.0 million (the “Option Value”). Our order book and the OptionValue may not be an accurate indicator of our future performance as it hasnot taken into account any potential renegotiations, cancellations, deferralsor early termination of contracts in calculating our order book and/orthe Option Value. The occurrence of any of which will have an adverse

    impact on our revenue. Potential renegotiations, cancellations, deferralsor early termination may be due to factors beyond its control and are, bynature, uncertain. In addition, there is no assurance that our customers willexercise the option to extend their contracts. In the event there are anyrenegotiations, cancellations, deferrals or early termination of our contractsor if the customers do not exercise the option to extend their contracts, our

     business, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects could be materially adversely affected.

    • We are dependent on our ability to retain key personnel.  Our key personnel have a wealth of experience and their experiences is instrumentalin our ability to anticipate and cater for the needs of our customers.
