Chairman’s message
Pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition, the SGX-ST had on 13 December
2016 granted the Company, in its capacity as a cash company, a
further extension of time to meet the requirements for a new
listing, to 30 September 2017 subject to certain conditions.
During FY2016, the Company’s shareholders had also on 7 December
2016 at an Extraordinary General Meeting approved a cash
distribution of S$0.095 per share to be carried out by way of a
capital reduction exercise to reduce the issued and paid-up capital
of the Company of S$$40,143,640 to approximately S$11,075,295. This
capital reduction exercise amounting to a total payout of
S$29,068,345 to shareholders was completed on 3 February
2017.
statement of Comprehensive income The Company posted a loss after
tax of S$2.373 million for FY2016 as compared to that of S$2.681
million in the financial ear ended ece er 2015, which was primarily
due to the decrease in other operating expenses of S$0.313 million
which was in turn mainly attributable to the absence of legal and
professional fees incurred in relation to the proposed acquisition
of Tong Da Medical Device Limited (which was terminated in FY2015),
offset by
the increase of such fees incurred in respect of the Proposed
Acquisition.
statement of financial position As of the close of financial ear
December 2016, the Company’s assets comprised mainly of cash and
cash equivalents of S$36.635 million including the $30.690 million
kept in escrow as required under Rule 1017(1) (a) of the Catalist
Rules. Subsequent to the end of FY2016, S$29.068 million of the
cash placed in the escrow account had been distributed to
shareholders in February 2017.
Other payables of S$0.470 million as at 31 December 2016 comprised
mainly accrual of statutory costs and directors fees.
Statement of Cashflows The Company reported a net decrease in cash
and cash equivalents of S$1.050 million for FY2016 as compared to a
decrease of S$2.512 million in FY2015. The decrease in cash and
cash equivalents was due to the payment of fees for the interim CEO
and interim CFO as well as professional fees relating to the
Proposed Acquisition. The decrease was partially set off by the
release of deposits held as collaterals for two Standby Letters of
Credit during FY2016.
The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of S$5.945 million
as of 31 December 2016.
moving forward The Board of Directors is working towards the
completion of the Proposed Acquisition and announcements will be
made as and when appropriate.
in appreciation On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like
to thank our shareholders for their support through the years. We
look forward to your continued support as the Company embarks on a
new chapter.
