DETAILS OF THE PLACEMENT

LISTING ON CATALIST

A copy of this Offer Document has been lodged with 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 Award Shares and the Option Shares, as the case may be, being
offered or in respect of which an invitation is made, for investment. We have not lodged this Offer
Document in any other jurisdiction.

We have 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
Award Shares and the Option 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 and permission being granted by the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of all our existing
issued Shares, the Placement Shares, the Award Shares and the Option Shares on Catalist. If the
admission, listing and trading of our Shares already issued, the Placement Shares, the Award Shares
and the Option 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, the Manager, Sponsor and Sub-Placement Agent and the 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 SGX-ST Main Board. 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 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 Award Shares or the Option
Shares.

We are subject to the provisions of the SFA and the Catalist Rules regarding corporate disclosure. In
particular, if after the registration of this Offer Document but before the close of the Placement, we

THE PLACEMENT

the terms and conditions of this Offer Document.

29
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
develop 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

Our business will be affected by any outbreak of poultry-related diseases and infection

Our business is subject to risks of regional or global outbreak of poultry-related diseases, such as avian
influenza, which may affect our business adversely due to the loss of consumer confidence and/or
reduction in the consumption of chickens and eggs. In the event that our livestock is afflicted with such
diseases, we may be forced to cull some or all of our chickens or dispose of any infected products.
Product recalls or temporary bans imposed by the Singapore government due to public health scares
may also cause damage to the reputation and branding of our Company and this may adversely affect
the business of our Group.

We do not own the land on which our layer farm is located

Our Group has renewed the tenure of the land leased for the use of our layer farm in FY2007 for 20
years. For further details on our properties, please refer to the section entitled General Information on
our Company and our Group Properties and Fixed Assets of this Offer Document. In the event that
we are forced to relocate our production facilities and livestock due to reasons beyond our control, our
production and operations may be materially disrupted and we may also incur considerable costs.
Besides, in the event that we are unable to renew the lease when it expires or if the lease is renewed
on terms and conditions which are not favourable to us and we are unable to find alternative premises
promptly at lower or similar costs, our business operations may be disrupted.

Our business may be affected by any changes in laws or regulations

Our layer farm business is subject to several stringent laws and regulations in Singapore, including but
not limited to the Animals and Birds Act (Chapter 7) of Singapore, the Feeding Stuffs Act (Chapter 105)
of Singapore and the Sale of Food Act (Chapter 283) of Singapore. Please refer to the section entitled
General Information on our Company and our Group Permits, Approvals and Government
Regulations of this Offer Document for further details of these regulations.

If there are any changes in legislation, regulations or policies governing layer farming or the import of
fresh eggs, or any matters that may affect the production or sale of our products, our ability to distribute
our products in Singapore may be hindered. For instance, if a change in regulations results in the lifting
of restriction on the number of imported fresh eggs, this would increase the amount of competition we
face. More importantly, if the operation of layer farms in Singapore is phased out, the business of our

30
RISK FACTORS

Group will be jeopardised. To the best of our Directors knowledge and belief however, there are no
such plans to phase out the operation of layer farms in Singapore.

Further, in the event that additional compliance requirements are imposed by the regulatory authorities
in Singapore on us or our suppliers, this would result in higher costs for us or our suppliers may pass
on the increase in costs to us. Similarly, if there is any change in regulations or policies in Singapore
restricting the sale or which affects the costs of our products, our financial performance will also be
adversely affected. If we incorporate such increased costs in our prices, this may render our products
less attractive than that of our competitors. In the event that it would not be strategic to build in such
increased costs in our prices, we will have to absorb these cost increments and this would affect our
profitability.

In addition, the operations of layer farms are required to comply with the Environmental Protection and
Management Act (Chapter 94) of Singapore with regard to air and water pollution control. From time to
time, we are subject to periodic inspections by the National Environment Agency to ensure that the
proper measures of pollution control are kept in place in our layer farm. In the event that there are any
changes in the measures of pollution control and we have to incur additional costs to ensure
compliance, our profitability will be adversely affected.

Our business may be affected by any revocation or non-renewal of our licences

We are registered with, and licensed by, the AVA in relation to the operation of our layer farm for, inter
alia, the operation of our farm (Licence for Farm), eggs processing (Licence to Operate a Food
Establishment) and the manufacture and sale of animal feed (Licence for the Import, Manufacture,
Processing or Sale of Animal Feed). We are also a member of the SQES, a voluntary scheme under
the AVA. Our licences issued by the AVA are subject to renewal every year. In addition, we are subject
to any conditions of licensing or directives that may be imposed by the AVA from time to time. We have
also been awarded the Halal certification by MUIS. Should any of our licences be revoked or
suspended, or if we fail to obtain any of the renewals, for any reason whatsoever, our business
operations will be jeopardised. In addition, should the AVA impose any conditions or issue any
directives for which we must comply but at a considerable cost to us, our profit margins will be
adversely impacted.

In addition to the AVA licences and the Halal certification, we have also been certified under the HACCP
certification scheme and have also obtained ISO 9001:2008 certification for compliance with food
safety management system in respect of the processing of shell eggs, the pasteurization of liquid eggs,
chick hatching and eggs washing. These certifications are critical to our business as our continued
operations and profitability are dependent on the freshness of our products and the level of hygiene we
employ in our processes. The said certifications are subject to renewal and we are also subject to yearly
audits for our ISO 9001:2008 certification. Should we fail to obtain the renewal of these certifications
for any reason whatsoever, we will lose our competitive advantage and this would have a material and
adverse impact on our business.

We may be affected by the prices of eggs from Malaysia

The sale of eggs contributed 95.6%, 92.6% and 88.6% of our total revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and
FY2010 respectively. Most of the eggs sold in Singapore are imported from Malaysia. The price of eggs
in Singapore is therefore indirectly affected by the price of eggs from Malaysia, which is in turn largely
determined by the supply and demand of eggs in Malaysia. Excess supplies of eggs may be imported
into Singapore at a substantially lower price than eggs produced in Singapore in the event that there
is an oversupply of eggs in Malaysia. If we are unable to revise our selling prices accordingly to remain

31
RISK FACTORS

competitive, the demand for our eggs will be affected and this would have an adverse impact on our
revenue and profitability. In addition, eggs are perishable products which have to be sold within a short
period of time while they are still fresh. In the event that we are unable to sell our eggs on a timely basis
in the event of an oversupply situation, we may have to market our eggs at a substantially lower price
or discard them which would adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

Our business may be affected by competition in the industry

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to compete effectively in the market. We
compete with other fresh eggs suppliers mainly on the basis of price, quality and after-sales service to
our customers. In the event that we are not competitive in terms of our pricing against other suppliers
of fresh eggs, our profitability and financial performance may be adversely affected. Any decrease in
the quality of our products or level of service to our customers or any occurrence of a price war amongst
our competitors and ourselves would also adversely affect our business.

Our business may be affected by fluctuations in the costs of raw materials for feed

The main operating costs for our layer farm operations constitute raw materials for feed such as corn,
soybean meal and spent grains. As such raw materials are commodity-based, any shortage in the
supply of or upsurge in demand for such raw materials would lead to an increase in their prices. For
instance, extreme or over utilisation of corn for the production of ethanol fuel may lead to a decrease
in the supply of corn as food resources for livestock and natural disasters and/or fungi infestation
damaging or destroying plantations may lead to a shortage in the raw materials for feed. There is no
assurance that we will be able to anticipate and react to such price fluctuations by adjusting the selling
prices of our eggs on a timely basis or pass on any increase in the costs of raw materials for feed to
our customers accordingly. In the event that we are unable to anticipate and react to such price
fluctuations, our profitability may be adversely affected.

We are dependent on the Singapore market

Currently, our layer farm operates only in Singapore. All of our customers are located in Singapore.
Accordingly, our operating results may be affected by the political, economic, legal and regulatory
developments in Singapore.

We face the risks of food contamination and deterioration

Food contamination and deterioration are risks inherent to all food industry participants. Any
contamination or deterioration in our raw materials or products, whether through improper handling,
outbreak of diseases, illegal tampering or otherwise, may result in our raw materials and products being
found unsafe for production and consumption respectively. This may lead to delays in the production
or delivery of our products to our customers, a loss in revenue, costs incurred in the purchase of
replacement raw ingredients and/or payment of compensation to our customers for delays, which in
turn may materially and adversely affect our reputation, business and financial performance.

Further, in the event that the food contamination and deterioration in our food products are not
discovered by the production and quality control staff at our production premises, thereafter leading to
the distribution of such food products, consumers may fall ill upon eating such food products and
consequently make claims against us. In the event of incidents which are not covered by our product
liability insurance taken by our subsidiary, CAPL, or if claims arising from such incidents are in excess
of our insurance coverage, and/or any of our insurance claims are contested by the insurance

32
RISK FACTORS

companies, we will be required to pay such compensation and the financial performance of our Group
will be adversely affected. In addition, the payment by our insurers on such insurance claims may result
in increases in our insurance premiums. Moreover, contaminated products may also cause our food
industry permits and business licences to be suspended or revoked. These may in turn materially and
adversely affect our reputation, business and financial performance.

We will be affected by any disruption to our production facilities

Our business operations will be adversely affected by any disruption to our production facilities
including, inter alia, disruption in the supply of utilities, machine breakdowns, power failures, power
surges, fire, natural disaster or other calamities which may result in significant damage to our layer
farm, machinery and equipment and/or major delays and disruptions to our operations. A disruption in
the power supply would affect our ability to maintain a desired range of temperature and environment
in our layer farm. Our production capability may also be affected at this time thus affecting our business.

During the past three (3) financial years, we have experienced a major power failure in our layer farm
which disrupted our operations. Due to the timely resumption of power and because we were able to
generate temporary power with alternative rented generators, our losses were minimal. Although we
have taken general insurance coverage in respect of damage to our production facilities, our existing
general insurance coverage may not fully compensate us for actual losses, damages, claims and
liabilities. In the event that our insurance policies cannot sufficiently cover our losses arising from the
disruptions, our business and financial results will be adversely affected.

Our competitiveness may be affected by our inability to adopt the latest production methods
and technologies to achieve production efficiency

Our competitiveness may be affected by our inability to adopt the latest production methods and
technologies in the poultry industry. If we do not anticipate or adopt the changes in the latest production
methods and technologies, we may not be able to achieve production efficiency and produce our
products at competitive prices or our competitive advantage may diminish and thus cause a decline in
our business and financial performance. Though our Directors believe that our Group is currently
adopting and is constantly keeping abreast of the latest production methods and technologies, there is
no assurance that any future upgrade of technology employed by our Group would be sufficient to
sustain our competitiveness.

We may face difficulties in ensuring customer loyalty due to the unpredictable nature of
consumer spending

As our products are consumer products, we are generally affected by consumer spending and
behavior. Consumers generally exhibit unpredictable behavior in making spending choices on
consumer goods and services, and base their decisions on various factors such as consumer
preferences, level of disposable incomes, spending alternatives, product and services differentiation
(including branding and quality) and pricing.

Due to the unpredictable nature of consumer spending, the continued growth and success of our Group
depend on, inter alia, our ability to ensure customer loyalty to our brand and products. We believe that
the key factors that allow us to ensure customer loyalty to our brand and products and overcome
product homogeneity include market recognition of our brand, success of our marketing and
promotional strategies, quality of our products and customer service, our ability to react to changes in
consumer preferences, dietary habits and tastes, our Groups reputation and our ability to compete

33
RISK FACTORS

against our direct competitors and substitute products. Any significant adverse change in these key
factors from our Groups perspective may adversely affect our ability to ensure customer loyalty to our
brand and products.

In the event that our ability to ensure customer loyalty to our brand and products is adversely affected,
our customers may turn to our direct competitors or purchase substitute products. This will in turn result
in a decrease in demand for our products. Any sustained decrease in demand for our products would
have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

We may be affected by any failure to maintain the quality of the food products we offer

It is essential in the food industry that the quality of the food products must be consistently high.
Inconsistencies in the quality of our food products would result in customers dissatisfaction and hence
a reduction in their patronage. The quality of our food products may be affected by, inter alia, the quality
of raw materials used, a change or shortage of production staff, the lack of proper adherence to
prescribed procedures by the production staff or lack of proper inspection by the quality control staff at
our layer farm. In addition, we distribute spices and cooking condiments manufactured by third parties
under our Chews brand-name. We do not have any supply contracts with these third parties nor do
we have any control over the quality of their produce. Our failure to consistently maintain the quality of
our products will result in a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

We may face risks associated with our spent grains trading business

We commenced the purchase of spent grains from Bee Joo Industries Pte Ltd (Bee Joo) in FY2009.
The purchase is via a tender process in which the quantity of spent grains is dictated by Bee Joo.
Accordingly, our Group would have to purchase the particular quantity of spent grains sold by Bee Joo
for the contract it is awarded. Any spent grains not used by our own feed mill will be sold to a third party.
Accordingly, our Group has commenced the sale of spent grains since FY2009.

As we do not have a long track record in the spent grains trading business, there is no assurance that
the spent grains trading business will achieve a sufficient level of revenue or profitability. If our Group
fails to manage costs effectively, our overall financial position and profitability may be adversely
affected. Participation in the spent grains trading business may also result in possible diversion of
management attention from the existing business operations. As we do not have a long track record in
the spent grains trading business, we may not be able to compete effectively with existing and future
competitors and the performance of the spent grains trading business may fall short of expectations.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR GROUP

We are reliant on our Chews brand-name

We market and sell our products under our Chews brand-name and we believe that future sales of
our products will depend in part on increasing brand recognition for our products amongst consumers.
Failure to maintain the image of our brand and quality standards associated with our brand may have
a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

We do not have long term supply contracts with our major customers

We do not have long term supply contracts with our major customers. Our ability to retain these major
customers is therefore important to the continued success of our Group. Thus, we depend heavily on
our long term relationships with our major customers who have been relying on us to provide them with

34
RISK FACTORS

fresh eggs on a regular basis. There is however no assurance that these customers will continue to
purchase our products at current levels in the future. There is also no assurance that we will be able
to decrease our dependence on these major customers over time. In the event that our major
customers cease or reduce significantly their purchase of our products and we are unable to obtain
substitute orders of comparable sizes from other existing or new customers, there will be a material
adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

Our intellectual property rights may be costly and difficult to enforce and we may not be able
to renew our intellectual property rights or may be subject to claims for infringement of third
parties intellectual property rights

We have registered our Chews brand-name as a trademark in Singapore and are in the process of
registering our trademark, EG-PRO, in Hong Kong. Please refer to the section entitled General
Information on our Company and our Group Intellectual Property of this Offer Document for details
on our trademarks. Effective enforcement of intellectual property rights is important for the protection
of our interests as we consider the recognition of our trademark to be vital in the sales of our products.
Unauthorised use of our trademarks and/or brand may damage the brand recognition and reputation
of our Group.

Although we have registered our trademark, it may be possible for third parties to unlawfully pass-off
their products as ours. In the event that third parties infringe upon our intellectual property rights in
respect of our trademark by unlawfully passing off their products as our products, imitating or using our
trademark without authorisation from us, we may face considerable difficulties and costly litigation in
order to fully protect these intellectual property rights, which may affect our reputation, business and
financial performance.

In addition, there is no assurance that we can renew our trademark upon its expiry. In the event that
we are unable to do so, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected. Further,
there is no assurance that our products do not and will not infringe other registered trademarks or
intellectual property rights belonging to third parties. As such, we may be subject to legal proceedings
and claims relating to such infringement. In the event of any claims or litigation involving infringement
of the intellectual property rights of third parties, whether with or without merit, it could result in a
diversion of our managements time and resources and our business operations may be materially and
adversely affected. In addition, any successful claim against us arising out of such proceedings could
result in substantial monetary liabilities and will materially affect our reputation and the continued sale
of the affected products and consequently, our financial performance.

We may be affected by complaints from consumers and negative publicity

We may be the subject of complaints, whether valid or invalid, from consumers with regard to the quality
of our food products. We may also be affected by factors such as negative publicity resulting from the
publication of industry findings, research reports or health concerns concerning our products
(regardless of their accuracy or validity). Such complaints and negative publicity will affect the image
of our brand and the sales of our products. In such event, our business and financial performance will
be adversely affected.

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate

We have in place insurance policies such as workmens compensation, fire, losses as a result of avian
influenza, public liability and product liability insurance but these may not be adequate to cover such
relevant insured losses, claims and/or liabilities that we may suffer. We may also suffer other losses,

35
RISK FACTORS

claims and/or liabilities for which we are not insured. In the event that our insurance coverage is not
available or adequate to cover any losses, claims and/or liabilities, our financial performance may be
adversely affected. In addition, the payment by our insurers of such insurance claims may result in
increases in the premiums payable by us for our insurance policies and result in adverse effects on our
financial performance. Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Company and
our Group Insurance of this Offer Document for further details.

We are dependent on foreign workers

As at 30 September 2010, 54 out of our 96 full time workers are foreign workers mainly from Malaysia
and the PRC. The supply of foreign workers is subject to demand and supply conditions as well as the
Singapore governments manpower regulations. In the event of a ban, temporary or otherwise, on these
foreign workers from coming into Singapore and/or a change in the Singapore governments manpower
regulations resulting in a shortage of foreign workers to meet our operational requirements, our
business and financial performance will be adversely affected.

Any increase in the foreign worker levy will also increase our labour costs. Foreign workers salaries
and levies constituted an aggregate of approximately 17.7%, 15.1%, and 16.0% of our total operating
costs (which includes costs relating to biological assets which have been capitalised) in FY2008,
FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

We are exposed to credit risk and defaults in payments by our customers

We are exposed to payment delays and defaults by our customers who are granted credit terms of
seven (7) to 60 days. Our financial position and profitability are therefore dependent on the
creditworthiness of our customers. Any material default in payment by our customers will adversely
affect our financial condition, profitability and cash flow. In FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010, allowance for
doubtful debts amounted to approximately S$45,000, S$374,000 and S$19,000 respectively. There
was no bad debt written-off in FY2008 and FY2009. Bad debts written-off in FY2010 were
approximately S$373,000, which include an amount of approximately S$317,000 owed by Chews
Poultry Farm to CAPL. Please refer to the section entitled Past Interested Person Transactions
Transactions with Chews Poultry Farm of this Offer Document for further details. As at 30 September
2010, our trade receivables amounted to approximately S$2.88 million and average trade receivables
turnover in FY2010 was 62 days (please refer to the section entitled General Information on our
Company and our Group Credit Policy of this Offer Document for further details). There is no
assurance that the risks of default by our customers and hence allowance for doubtful debts will not
increase in the future, or we will not experience cash flow problems as a result of such defaults. Should
these develop into actual events, our operations and profitability will be adversely affected.

We are dependent on key personnel

We believe that the success of our Group has been largely due to the continued active involvement of
our key management personnel, in particular, our Executive Directors, Messrs Chew Chee Bin and
Chew Eng Hoe, as well as our Executive Officers. Our continued success will depend, to a large extent,
on our ability to retain the services of our Executive Directors and Executive Officers. The loss of the
service of any one of our Executive Directors and Executive Officers without suitable and timely
replacement, or the inability to attract and retain other qualified personnel, would adversely affect our
operations and hence, our financial performance.

36
RISK FACTORS

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk

Some of our purchases are made in RM and US$. Although the amount of purchases in RM and US$
were insignificant for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010, the amount of such purchases may increase in the
future and where there are adverse fluctuations in the various foreign currencies in which we transact
against the S$, our earnings may be adversely affected.

Given that the reporting currency of our combined financial statements is in S$, in order to prepare our
combined financial statements, we translate the financial statements of our subsidiary in Hong Kong
from HK$ to S$ based on the average exchange rates prevailing over the relevant period of the profit
and loss account and at closing exchange rates for the balance sheet. Movements in the exchange
rates may adversely affect our financial performance. Although there was no profit contribution from our
Hong Kong subsidiary, CFIL, in FY2008 and FY2009 prior to the Restructuring Exercise and an
insignificant loss in FY2010, the contribution may increase in future and will be subject to currency
translation risk should the S$ appreciate against the HK$.

Please refer to the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Position Foreign Exchange Management of this Offer Document for further details.

We may not be successful in implementing our business expansion plans

As described under the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group
Business Strategies and Future Plans of this Offer Document, our growth strategies include the
following:

(i) continuous improvement and upgrade of our facilities, machinery and equipment to enhance
operational and cost efficiency;

(ii) enhance our product development capabilities and expand our range of food products;

(iii) expansion of our customer base;

(iv) strengthen our brand recognition through our brand management and marketing strategies; and

(v) expansion of our business through acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances.

These expansion plans will require substantial capital expenditure and financial resources. The
success of our expansion plans depends on many factors, some of which are not within our control. In
the event that we are not able to achieve a sufficient level of revenue or manage our costs effectively,
our future financial performance and position may be adversely affected.

In particular, as part of our business expansion plans, our Group has recently obtained approval from
the AVA on 27 December 2010 to conduct a one (1) year pilot project on planting Sakura papaya trees
using the Sakura lactobacillus planting technology (the Papaya Planting Pilot Project) within the
premises of our layer farm (subject to our Group meeting certain requirements which have been
specified by the AVA in respect of the Papaya Planting Pilot Project). Please refer to the sections
entitled 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 for
further details.

As our Group does not have any experience in planting papayas within the premises of our layer farm,
there is no assurance that the Papaya Planting Pilot Project will achieve a sufficient level of, or any,

37
RISK FACTORS

success. There is also no assurance that our Group will be able to obtain AVAs approval in the event
that our Group wishes to continue planting Sakura papaya trees using the Sakura lactobacillus planting
technology after the end of the Papaya Planting Pilot Project. In addition, although our Group will
ensure that the areas of our layer farm allocated for the Papaya Planting Pilot Project are effectively
bird-proofed to prevent attraction of wild birds or other animals into the farm, there is no assurance that
the population of wild birds or other animals within our layer farm will not increase due to the
commencement of the Papaya Planting Pilot Project. In the event that the increase in the population of
wild birds or other animals within our layer farm leads to a breach in our biosecurity measures, the AVA
may exercise the discretion to enforce the removal of the Sakura papaya trees and any related costs
would be borne by our Group, thereby adversely affecting our financial performance. A breach in our
biosecurity measures may also lead to an increase in the risk of poultry-related diseases, such as avian
influenza, which may affect our existing business adversely due to the loss of consumer confidence
and/or reduction in consumption of chickens and eggs. Please refer to the risk factor titled Our
business will be affected by any outbreak of poultry-related diseases and infection.

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:

(i) variations of our operating results;

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


performance;

38
RISK FACTORS

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

(iv) additions or departures of key personnel;

(v) fluctuations in stock market prices and volume;

(vi) involvement in litigation; and

(vii) 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 Shareholders 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 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 take-overs, or involvement in insolvency proceedings.

We may require additional funding for our growth plans, and such funding may result in a
dilution of Shareholders investment

We attempted to estimate 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 such plans should exceed these 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.

These additional funds may be raised by issuing equity or debt securities or by borrowing from banks
or from other resources. We cannot ensure that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on
terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we fail to obtain additional financing on terms that are
acceptable to us, we will not be able to implement such plans fully. Such financing even if obtained, may
be accompanied by conditions that limit 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.

39
RISK FACTORS

Further, in the event that we raise additional funds by way of a limited placement or by a rights offering
or through the issuance of new Shares, any Shareholders who are unable or unwilling to participate in
such an additional round of fund raising may suffer dilution in their investments.

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$0.25 is higher than our Groups NAV per Share of approximately S$0.17
based on the post-Placement issued share capital. If we were liquidated immediately following this
Placement, 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.

Control by our Shareholders of our enlarged share capital after the Placement may limit your
ability to influence the outcome of decisions requiring the approval of Shareholders.

After the completion of the Placement, our Shareholder, Fenghe Investment, will be the largest
Shareholder of our Company and will hold approximately 68.14% of our enlarged share capital after the
Placement. As a result, Fenghe Investment will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring
approval by our Shareholders except where it is required by the Catalist Rules to abstain from voting.
Such concentration of ownership will place them in a position to affect significantly our corporate
actions such as mergers or take-over attempts (notwithstanding that the same may be synergistic or
beneficial to our Group) in a manner that could conflict with the interests of our public Shareholders.

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.

net proceeds for other purposes. In the event that our Company decides to reallocate the net proceeds
of the Placement for other purposes, our Company will publicly announce its intention to do so through
a SGXNET announcement on the internet at the SGX-ST website, http://www.sgx.com. In addition, our
Company will make periodic announcements on the use of the proceeds from the Placement as and
when the proceeds from the Placement are materially disbursed, and provide a status report on the use

DIVIDEND POLICY

CAPL declared and paid dividends amounting to S$200,000 in respect of FY2010 on 6 October 2010.

Save as disclosed above, our Company and our subsidiaries have not declared or paid any dividends
since their incorporation.

We currently do not have a fixed dividend policy. 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 deem appropriate (Dividend Factors).

All dividends are paid pro-rata among the Shareholders in proportion to the amount paid up on each
Shareholders Shares, unless the rights attaching to an issue of any Share provides otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment by our Company to CDP of any dividend payable to a
Shareholder whose name is entered in the Depository Register shall, to the extent of payment made
to CDP, discharge our Company from any liability to that Shareholder in respect of that payment.

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.

Subject to the above, our Directors intend to recommend and distribute dividends of not less than 20%
of our net profits attributable to our Shareholders for each of FY2011, FY2012 and FY2013 (the
Proposed Dividends).

However, investors should note that all foregoing statements, including statements on the Proposed
Dividends, 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. Investors should not treat the
Proposed Dividends as an indication of our Groups future dividend policy. 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.

SHARE CAPITAL

Our Company (registration number: 201020806C) was incorporated in Singapore on 30 September


2010 under the Companies Act as a private company limited by shares under the name of Chews
Group Private Limited. On 25 January 2011, our Company changed its name to Chews Group
Limited in connection with its conversion into a public company limited by shares.

As at the date of incorporation, our issued and paid-up share capital was S$1.00, comprising one (1)
ordinary share. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our issued and paid-up share capital was S$1.00
comprising one (1) Share. Pursuant to the completion of the Restructuring Exercise, our issued and
paid-up share capital is S$10,000,000 comprising 10,000,000 Shares. Please refer to the section
entitled Restructuring Exercise of this Offer Document for more details.

Pursuant to an extraordinary general meeting held on 19 January 2011, our Shareholders approved,
inter alia, the following:

(a) the issue of 9,999,999 Shares as consideration for the acquisition of all the existing ordinary
shares in CAPL pursuant to the Restructuring Exercise;

(b) the sub-division of Shares in the issued share capital of our Company, of which 10,000,000

OVERVIEW

Our Group is principally engaged in the production of fresh eggs in Singapore. We specialise in the
production and sale of Designer Eggs, which contain specific value-added nutrients, as well as generic
eggs. We are also engaged in the production and sale of liquid eggs and the trading of spent grains.

The Group operates a layer farm located in Singapore at 20 Murai Farmway, Singapore 709153, which
occupies a land area of 201,545.6 sq m and has a total built-in area of approximately 72,100 sq m. The
farm has a rearing capacity of approximately 823,000 chickens as at 30 September 2010 in our grower,
breeder and layer sheds. As at the end of FY2010, the Group has about 595,000 chickens in the layer
and grower sheds and produces more than 120 million eggs per annum.

Over the years, we continued to diversify our range of Designer Eggs. To-date, we are able to offer a
comprehensive range of Designer Eggs and we currently have nine (9) main categories of Designer
Eggs selling in the leading supermarkets and hypermarkets in Singapore. Our continuous research and
development efforts in feed enhancement provided us with the know-how for producing these Designer
Eggs. Our expertise in feed formulation has also enhanced our ability to maintain the quality of our
products.

Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Business
Overview of this Offer Document for further details of our business activities.

PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS OF OUR INCOME STATEMENT

Revenue

Revenue is derived mainly from the production and sale of Designer Eggs and generic eggs, the
production and sale of liquid eggs, and the trading of spent grains. Our revenue was approximately
S$14.47 million, S$16.84 million and S$19.21 million for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

65
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Our revenue is recognised upon delivery of our products and when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to our customers. We generally allow sales returns of defective
products, mainly due to mishandling, by the leading supermarkets and hypermarkets. However, in the
period under review, we did not experience any material sales returns by our customers.

Our revenue is mainly dependent on the following factors:

(a) our business is subject to risks of regional or global outbreak of poultry-related diseases such as
avian influenza, which may affect our business adversely due to the loss of consumer confidence
and/or reduction in consumption of chickens and eggs. This is notwithstanding our strong
emphasis on the safety and quality of our products to ensure that they are hygienic, safe and fresh
for the end customers consumption;

(b) our Group faces competition from local layer farm companies and layer farms in Malaysia that
export their eggs to Singapore. The price of eggs in Singapore is affected by the price of eggs
imported from Malaysia, which is in turn largely determined by the supply and demand of eggs in
Malaysia. Our revenue will therefore be materially affected when there is an oversupply of eggs
in Malaysia and these excess eggs are imported into Singapore at a substantially lower price;

(c) our ability to remain price competitive in the market is largely dependent on our ability to source
for quality and cost effective feed raw materials such as corn, soybean meal and spent grains. As
such raw materials are commodity-based, any shortage in the supply of or upsurge in demand for
such raw materials would lead to an increase in their prices. We may be pressured to increase our
selling prices which may adversely affect our sales volume, revenue and profitability;

(d) our ability to continue upgrading our farm facilities to increase the rearing capacity of chickens and
to improve the condition of the grower sheds and layer sheds, which will in turn lead to an increase
in productivity. The rearing and production capacity have a direct impact on our ability to improve
our sales performance;

(e) we market and sell our products under our Chews brand-name. Over the years, we have built
an awareness of our brand amongst consumers in Singapore. The recognition of the Chews
brand-name as the leading and quality-assured eggs producer, especially in the sale of Designer
Eggs, will have an impact on the Groups sales performance;

(f) we do not have long term supply contracts with our major customers. Our ability to retain these
major customers is therefore important to the continued success of the Group. As such, we are
dependent to a large extent on our long-term working relationships with our major customers who
have been relying on us to provide them with regular fresh eggs;

(g) we rely heavily on foreign workers, mainly from Malaysia and the PRC, to work in our farm. Our
ability to provide consistent supplies of our products to our customers is largely dependent on the
availability of these foreign workers, which may be affected by changes in demand and supply
conditions and the Singapore governments manpower regulations. Any material shortage of such
workers may disrupt the production and packaging process and affect the supplies of our products
to customers, thereby reducing our revenue; and

(h) our business is primarily conducted in Singapore. As such, our revenue may be affected by the
political, economic, legal and regulatory developments in Singapore. Major events held in
Singapore that result in an increase in the number of visitors into Singapore will indirectly lead to
an increase in the consumption of eggs and may increase our revenue.

66
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Please refer to the section entitled Risk Factors of this Offer Document for other factors which may
affect our revenue.

Other operating income

Other operating income comprises mainly of sales of excess feed raw materials, fertilizers and waste
materials, grants and rebates received from the Singapore government, gain on disposal of fixed
assets and gain from foreign exchange. Other operating income was approximately S$0.20 million,
S$0.26 million and S$0.32 million, representing approximately 1.4%, 1.5% and 1.7% of the total
revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

Changes in inventory

Changes in inventory relates to the difference in inventory held by our Group at the end of the financial
year. Our inventory mainly consists of finished products (eggs), feed, feed raw materials and packaging
materials. There was a decrease in inventory of approximately S$0.06 million or approximately 0.4%
of the total revenue in FY2008 and an increase in inventory of approximately S$0.14 million and S$0.63
million, representing approximately 0.8% and 3.3% of our total revenue in FY2009 and FY2010
respectively.

Purchase of materials

The main components of our purchase of materials are feed raw materials, spent grains, parent stock,
vaccine and medicine products and packaging materials. We purchase reliable and good quality feed
raw materials from established local and overseas suppliers with good track records. Our total
purchase of materials was approximately S$9.12 million, S$10.36 million and S$11.66 million for
FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively. A major part of our purchase of materials is capitalised to
biological assets, which amounted to approximately S$7.65 million, S$8.36 million and S$8.41 million
in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively. Accordingly, net purchase of materials was
approximately S$1.47 million, S$2.00 million and S$3.25 million, accounting for approximately 10.2%,
11.9% and 16.9% of our total revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

Employee benefits expense

Employee benefits expense primarily consists of directors and staff salaries, allowances, bonuses,
commissions and CPF contributions. Our total employee benefits expense was approximately S$2.00
million, S$2.15 million and S$2.49 million in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively. A major part of
the employee benefits expense relating to employees working in the farm is capitalised to biological
assets, which amounted to approximately S$1.00 million, S$1.16 million and S$1.23 million in FY2008,
FY2009 and FY2010 respectively. Our net employee benefits expense in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010
was approximately S$1.00 million, S$0.99 million and S$1.26 million, accounting for approximately
6.9%, 5.9% and 6.6% of our total revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

Depreciation

Depreciation refers to depreciation of our property, plant and equipment, as well as our motor vehicles.
It also includes the amortisation of the land use rights. Our total depreciation was approximately S$0.57
million, S$0.68 million and S$0.76 million in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively. A major part of
the depreciation relating to the land, farm buildings and farm plant and equipment is capitalised to

67
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

biological assets, which amounted to approximately S$0.47 million, S$0.57 million and S$0.54 million
in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively. Accordingly, net depreciation expense was
approximately S$0.10 million, S$0.11 million and S$0.22 million, accounting for approximately 0.7% in
FY2008 and FY2009, and 1.1% in FY2010, of our total revenue respectively.

Rental expense

Rental expense mainly comprises of land rental (up to FY2008) and rent paid to house our foreign
workers in Singapore from August 2010. The land rental was capitalised as Land use rights when the
lease was renewed for 20 years in FY2007. The amortisation of the Land use rights is reported under
depreciation. Rental expense accounted for an immaterial portion of our total revenue in the period
under review.

Amortisation of biological assets

Biological assets of our Company include mature and immature chickens reared for the production of
eggs. A chicken is considered mature when it starts producing eggs at about 23 weeks old. The costs
of chickens consist of the initial purchase costs and the accumulated costs of feed, vaccine and
medicine and other indirect overhead costs incurred to breed the chickens to a mature state and to
sustain its production capacity.

As the fair value of the chickens cannot be measured reliably, they are therefore stated at cost less
accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. The costs of chickens are subject to amortisation
when they are considered mature. They are amortised on a reducing balance method over the
estimated egg laying period of about 50 weeks and thereafter disposed of at a residual value.
Amortisation of biological assets was approximately S$7.60 million, S$9.02 million and S$9.83 million,
accounting for approximately 52.5%, 53.6% and 51.2% of our total revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and
FY2010 respectively.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses consist mainly of carriage charges for the delivery of our products to our
customers, advertising and promotion expense, loss on biological assets written-off, entertainment
expenses, repair and maintenance expense, water and utilities, and other miscellaneous costs
(including but not limited to insurance costs, trade fair expenses, legal and professional fees,
transportation and telecommunication expenses). Our total other operating expenses was
approximately S$2.43 million, S$3.38 million and S$2.79 million in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010
respectively. A major part of the repair and maintenance expense, and water and utilities is capitalised
to biological assets, which amounted to approximately S$0.69 million, S$0.90 million and S$0.94
million in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively. Net other operating expenses was approximately
S$1.74 million, S$2.48 million and S$1.85 million, representing approximately 12.0%, 14.7% and 9.6%
of our total revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

Finance costs

Finance costs relates mainly to interests incurred on finance leases and bank loan. Finance costs are
relatively immaterial to our Groups total revenue for the period under review.

Income tax expense

Our overall effective tax rate was approximately 44.4%, 18.9% and 17.2% for FY2008, FY2009 and
FY2010 respectively. The Singapore statutory corporate tax rate was 18.0% for FY2008 and 17.0% for
both FY2009 and FY2010.

The effective tax rate for FY2008 of approximately 44.4% was significantly higher than the statutory
corporate tax of 18%, mainly due to under provision of prior year income and deferred taxes amounting
to approximately S$0.66 million or approximately 24.8% of profit before income tax and certain expense
items not deductible for tax of about S$66,000. The effective tax rate for FY2009 of approximately
18.9% and FY2010 of approximately 17.2% were higher than the statutory corporate tax rate of 17%
mainly due to expenses not deductible for tax amounting to approximately S$81,000 and S$43,000 in
FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

Revenue

Our total revenue increased by approximately S$2.37 million or approximately 16.4% from
approximately S$14.47 million in FY2008 to approximately S$16.84 million in FY2009. The increase
was largely attributable to the following:

(a) increase in revenue from the sale of Designer Eggs and generic eggs by about S$1.76 million due
to an increase in the sales volume. In late FY2007, we had started to upgrade our facilities,
increasing the capacity and improving the condition of the layer sheds, grower sheds and packing
lanes to increase productivity. The upgrading exercise continues beyond FY2010. The upgrading
activities started to increase our production capacity from late FY2008 and FY2009 saw a
significant increase in production volume. We had also carried out sales promotions and
campaigns through the local media which further created demand for our products; and

(b) we started the trading of spent grains in FY2009, leading to an increase in revenue of
approximately S$0.65 million.

Other operating income

Our other operating income increased by approximately S$0.06 million or approximately 30.0%, from
approximately S$0.20 million in FY2008 to approximately S$0.26 million in FY2009. This was largely
due to the gain of approximately S$0.06 million from the sale of fixed assets and the receipt of
approximately S$0.04 million in the form of more rebates from the Singapore government in FY2009.
These rebates were mainly from the Jobs Credit Scheme introduced by the Singapore government in
2009.

Changes in inventory

The inventories held by our Group decreased in FY2008 by approximately S$0.06 million, mainly due
to the change in the inventory level of finished products (eggs). The inventories held by our Group
increased in FY2009 by approximately S$0.14 million, largely attributed to the rise in the inventory level
of finished products (eggs) and packaging materials.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Purchase of materials

Total purchase of materials increased by approximately S$1.24 million or approximately 13.6%, from
approximately S$9.12 million in FY2008 to approximately S$10.36 million in FY2009. The increase was
mainly due to the increase in purchase of feed raw materials of approximately S$0.66 million as more
chickens were reared in FY2009, and purchase of spent grains of approximately S$0.56 million to
support the trading activities of spent grains in FY2009. Materials capitalised to biological assets had
also increased by approximately S$0.71 million, from approximately S$7.65 million in FY2008 to
approximately S$8.36 million in FY2009. Accordingly, net purchase of materials increased by
approximately S$0.53 million or approximately 36.1%, from approximately S$1.47 million in FY2008 to
approximately S$2.00 million in FY2009.

Employee benefits expense

Total employee benefits expense increased marginally by approximately S$0.15 million or


approximately 7.5%, from approximately S$2.00 million in FY2008 to approximately S$2.15 million in
FY2009. The increase was mainly due to payment of directors fees of S$0.12 million to the directors
of CAPL in FY2009. Employee benefits expense capitalised to biological assets increased by
approximately S$0.16 million, from approximately S$1.00 million in FY2008 to approximately S$1.16
million in FY2009. Accordingly, net employee benefits expense decreased marginally by approximately
S$0.01 million or approximately 1.0%, from approximately S$1.00 million in FY2008 to approximately
S$0.99 million in FY2009.

Depreciation

Depreciation increased by approximately S$0.11 million or approximately 19.3%, from approximately


S$0.57 million in FY2008 to approximately S$0.68 million in FY2009. This was due to the recognition
of the full year impact of fixed assets purchased in FY2008 (approximately S$0.64 million) and of fixed
assets purchased in FY2009 (approximately S$1.70 million). Fixed assets purchased in FY2008 and
FY2009 were mainly improvements to farm buildings and farm equipment. Accordingly, depreciation
capitalised to biological assets increased by approximately S$0.10 million, from approximately S$0.47
million in FY2008 to approximately S$0.57 million in FY2009. As a result, net depreciation increased
slightly by approximately S$0.01 million or approximately 10.0%, from approximately S$0.10 million in
FY2008 to approximately S$0.11 million in FY2009.

Rental expense

Rental expense of approximately S$0.02 million in FY2008 was related to the land rental under the prior
lease agreement. Upon renewal of the lease in FY2007, the amount paid by CAPL in FY2008 was
capitalised as Land use rights and amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of 20 years. The
amortisation expense is reported under depreciation expense. As such, there is no rental expense in
FY2009.

Amortisation of biological assets

Amortisation of biological assets increased by approximately S$1.42 million or approximately 18.7%,


from approximately S$7.60 million in FY2008 to approximately S$9.02 million in FY2009. The increase
was mainly due to a higher number of chickens reared in FY2009 and the increase in overheads
including employee benefits expense, depreciation, repair and maintenance expense, water and
utilities, that were capitalised to biological assets in FY2009.

71
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Other operating expenses

Total other operating expenses increased by approximately S$0.95 million or approximately 39.1%
from approximately S$2.43 million in FY2008 to approximately S$3.38 million in FY2009. The increase
was mainly due to the following:

(a) increase in the loss on biological assets written-off/disposed of about S$0.54 million as we had to
cull some chicken flocks earlier than their usual production lives. The decision was made after
considering the quality of the chickens (in respect of their ability to meet the production
expectations), feed costs, and overheads to maintain them;

(b) increase in the impairment of other trade receivables of about S$0.32 million due from a related
party; and

(c) increase in repair and maintenance (mostly in relation to our farm buildings) and electricity
expenses of some S$0.22 million as we upgraded and automated the equipment in some of the
farm sheds; and

which were partially offset by the:

(d) decrease in legal and professional fees of approximately S$0.14 million mainly due to the fee of
approximately S$0.11 million incurred in FY2008 for the renewal of the land lease, which did not
recur in FY2009.

Repair and maintenance, water and utilities expenses capitalised to biological assets increased by
approximately S$0.21 million, from approximately S$0.69 million in FY2008 to approximately S$0.90
million in FY2009. Accordingly, net other operating expenses increased by approximately S$0.74
million or approximately 42.5% from approximately S$1.74 million in FY2008 to approximately S$2.48
million in FY2009.

Finance costs

Finance costs were approximately S$0.03 million for both FY2008 and FY2009. The reduction in
interest expenses due to the full settlement of the secured loan was offset by an increase in interest
expense incurred on the additional finance leases to support our upgrading activities in FY2009.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax decreased marginally by approximately S$0.01 million or approximately 0.4%,
from approximately S$2.64 million in FY2008 to approximately S$2.63 million in FY2009 mainly due to
higher material costs, increase in amortisation of biological assets and loss on biological assets
written-off, and impairment of other receivables, which was partially offset by the increase in revenue
and other operating income.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense decreased by approximately S$0.67 million or approximately 57.3%, from
approximately S$1.17 million in FY2008 to approximately S$0.50 million in FY2009. The reduction was
mainly due to recognition of prior year income and deferred taxes of about S$0.66 million in FY2008.

72
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Profit for the year, representing total comprehensive income for the year

The marginal decrease in profit before income tax of approximately S$0.01 million and the reduction in
income tax expenses of approximately S$0.67 million in FY2009 led to an increase in profit for the year
by approximately S$0.66 million or approximately 44.9%, from approximately S$1.47 million in FY2008
to approximately S$2.13 million in FY2009.

FY2010 compared to FY2009

Revenue

Our total revenue increased by approximately S$2.37 million or approximately 14.1%, from
approximately S$16.84 million in FY2009 to approximately S$19.21 million in FY2010. The increase
was mainly attributable to the higher sales volume of our Designer Eggs and generic eggs as we
continue to upgrade the grower sheds, layer sheds and packing lanes to increase production capacity
and efficiency. In addition, we saw an increase in the trading of spent grains in FY2010 of about S$0.88
million.

Other operating income

Our other operating income increased by approximately S$0.06 million or approximately 23.1%, from
approximately S$0.26 million in FY2009 to approximately S$0.32 million in FY2010. This was mainly
due to the increase in sales of fertilizers, waste materials and scrap materials, and higher foreign
exchange gains. Furthermore, we also started to receive fees from our customers in return for providing
services (including loading, unloading and packing) to them and for the temporary use of our premises
to store the waste and recycled materials sold by CAPL to them in the last quarter of FY2010. However,
this was partially offset by a lower gain from disposal of fixed assets and lower rebates from the Jobs
Credit Scheme managed by the Singapore government in FY2010.

Changes in inventory

The inventories held by our Group increased in FY2009 by approximately S$0.14 million, mainly
attributed to the rise in the inventory level of finished products (eggs) and packaging materials. More
inventories, consisting mainly of feed raw materials, of approximately S$0.63 million were added in
FY2010. The increase in the inventories of feed raw materials was to enable us to take advantage of
the price cycle of our major materials so as to reduce our purchase cost.

Purchase of materials

Total purchase of materials increased by approximately S$1.30 million or approximately 12.5%, from
approximately S$10.36 million in FY2009 to approximately S$11.66 million in FY2010. The increase
was mainly due to the increase in purchase of feed raw materials of approximately S$0.82 million and
purchase of spent grains of approximately S$0.84 million, which was partially offset by a reduction in
purchase of packaging materials of approximately S$0.17 million and vaccine and medicine products
of approximately S$0.14 million.

Purchase of feed raw materials increased in FY2010 as we had increased our inventories of feed raw
materials by approximately S$0.66 million as we continue to build our biological assets. The increase
in the purchase of spent grains was in line with the increased sales of spent grains in FY2010. Purchase

73
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

of packaging materials decreased in FY2010 despite an increase in sales volume because we were
able to secure more cost effective suppliers without compromising the quality of the materials. Vaccine
and medicine cost fell in FY2010 as we replaced some of the vaccine and medicine products with other
lower cost products of either the same or higher quality.

Materials capitalised to biological assets increased marginally by approximately S$0.05 million, from
approximately S$8.36 million in FY2009 to approximately S$8.41 million in FY2010 as the increase in
feed material costs was partially offset by the reduction in the vaccine and medicine cost.

Accordingly, net purchase of materials increased by approximately S$1.25 million or approximately


62.5%, from approximately S$2.00 million in FY2009 to approximately S$3.25 million in FY2010.

Employee benefits expense

Total employee benefits expense increased by approximately S$0.34 million or approximately 15.8%,
from approximately S$2.15 million in FY2009 to approximately S$2.49 million in FY2010. This was
mainly due to an increase in directors salaries of approximately S$0.14 million that resulted from salary
adjustments given to the directors in June 2010 and higher staff salaries of approximately S$0.33
million as we increased the number of employees in the finance and packaging departments, which
was offset by the payment of directors fees of S$0.12 million in FY2009.

Employee benefits expense capitalised to biological assets increased by approximately S$0.07 million,
from approximately S$1.16 million in FY2009 to approximately S$1.23 million in FY2010. Accordingly,
net employee benefits expense increased by approximately S$0.27 million or approximately 27.3%,
from approximately S$0.99 million in FY2009 to approximately S$1.26 million in FY2010.

Depreciation

Depreciation increased by approximately S$0.08 million or approximately 11.8%, from approximately


S$0.68 million in FY2009 to approximately S$0.76 million in FY2010. This was due to the recognition
of the full year impact of fixed assets purchased in FY2009 (approximately S$1.70 million) and of fixed
assets purchased in FY2010 (approximately S$1.99 million). Fixed assets purchased in FY2009 and
FY2010 were mainly improvements to farm buildings and farm equipment. Accordingly, depreciation
capitalised to biological assets decreased by approximately S$0.03 million, from approximately S$0.57
million in FY2009 to approximately S$0.54 million in FY2010. As a result, net depreciation increased by
approximately S$0.11 million or approximately 100.0%, from approximately S$0.11 million in FY2009
to approximately S$0.22 million in FY2010.

Rental expense

Rental expense of about S$0.02 million incurred in FY2010 mainly relates to the accommodation costs
for our foreign workers which commenced from August 2010.

Amortisation of biological assets

Amortisation of biological assets increased by approximately S$0.81 million or approximately 9.0%,


from approximately S$9.02 million in FY2009 to approximately S$9.83 million in FY2010. The increase
was mainly due to a higher number of chickens reared and reduction in the residual value of spent hens
in FY2010.

74
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Other operating expenses

Total other operating expenses fell by approximately S$0.59 million or approximately 17.5% from
approximately S$3.38 million in FY2009 to approximately S$2.79 million in FY2010. The decrease was
mainly due to the following:

(a) reduction in the loss on biological assets written-off/disposed of about S$0.47 million as we had
to cull some chicken flocks earlier than their usual production lives in FY2009; and

(b) decrease in the impairment of other trade receivables of about S$0.32 million as we impaired this
amount owing from a related party in FY2009; and

which were partially offset by the:

(c) increase in advertising expense of approximately S$0.11 million as we increased our marketing
and promotional activities in FY2010.

Repair and maintenance, water and utilities expenses capitalised to biological assets increased
marginally by approximately S$0.04 million, from approximately S$0.90 million in FY2009 to
approximately S$0.94 million in FY2010. Accordingly, net other operating expenses fell by
approximately S$0.63 million or approximately 25.4% from approximately S$2.48 million in FY2009 to
approximately S$1.85 million in FY2010.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by approximately S$0.02 million, from approximately S$0.03 million in FY2009
to approximately S$0.05 million in FY2010 mainly due to increased utilization of finance leases as we
continue to upgrade our farm facilities.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax rose by approximately S$1.06 million or approximately 40.3% from
approximately S$2.63 million in FY2009 to approximately S$3.69 million in FY2010. The increase in
profit before income tax was in line with our revenue growth. Although material costs, employee
benefits expense, amortisation of biological assets and depreciation had increased, other expense
items including loss on biological assets written-off and impairment of trade receivables declined
significantly in FY2010.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased by approximately S$0.14 million or approximately 28.0%, from
approximately S$0.50 million in FY2009 to approximately S$0.64 million in FY2010, mainly due to the
increase in profit before income tax of approximately S$1.06 million in FY2010.

Profit for the year, representing total comprehensive income for the year

Profit for the year rose by approximately S$0.92 million or approximately 43.2% from approximately
S$2.13 million in FY2009 to approximately S$3.05 million in FY2010, mainly due to the increase in
profit before income tax of approximately S$1.06 million partially offset by a corresponding increase in
income tax expense of approximately S$0.14 million.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Our total non-current assets increased by approximately S$1.29 million or approximately 17.3% from
approximately S$7.44 million in FY2008 to approximately S$8.73 million in FY2009. Our property, plant
and equipment increased by about S$1.13 million due to the upgrading and improvement projects in
FY2009 as described above. Land use rights fell by approximately S$0.10 million as a result of the
annual amortisation. Biological assets rose by about S$0.26 million, mainly due to the increase in the
number of chickens reared and the higher residual value of spent hens.

Our total non-current assets increased by approximately S$1.18 million or approximately 13.5% from
approximately S$8.73 million in FY2009 to approximately S$9.91 million in FY2010. Our property, plant
and equipment increased by about S$1.33 million as we continued to upgrade our cages and conveyor
systems in FY2010 as described above. Land use rights decreased by about S$0.11 million as a result
of the annual amortisation. Biological assets fell by about S$0.04 million, mainly due to a reduction in
the residual value of spent hens offset by an increase in the number of chickens reared.

Current assets

Current assets comprise mainly of trade and other receivables, inventories, and cash and bank
balances.

As at 30 September 2010, current assets amounted to approximately S$7.20 million, which accounted
for approximately 42.1% of our total assets and comprise mainly of the following:

(a) cash and bank balances comprise mainly of cash at bank and pledged fixed deposits, which
amounted to approximately S$2.41 million or approximately 33.5% of our total current assets;

(b) trade and other receivables amounted to approximately S$3.95 million or approximately 54.9% of
our total current assets. We had approximately S$2.88 million of trade debts from our customers
and we usually grant credit terms ranging from seven (7) days to 60 days to our customers. Other
receivables of approximately S$1.07 million comprise mainly of deposits of approximately S$0.62
million which was mainly for the purchase of an egg-grading machine and the upgrade of our
existing egg-grading machine, as well as prepayments of approximately S$0.32 million that were
mainly due to listing expenses of S$0.28 million paid by CAPL in FY2010. As the Company was
incorporated on 30 September 2010, these listing expenses will be billed to the Company and
allocated to the profit and loss account in FY2011; and

(c) inventories, comprising mainly of feed and feed raw materials, amounted to approximately S$0.84
million or approximately 11.7% of our total current assets. We increased our inventories of feed
raw materials to take advantage of the price cycle of our major feed raw materials so as to reduce
the material cost.

As at 30 September 2009, current assets amounted to approximately S$4.95 million, which accounted
for approximately 36.2% of our total assets and comprise mainly of the following:

(a) cash and bank balances, which comprise mainly of cash at bank and pledged fixed deposits,
amounted to approximately S$2.25 million or approximately 45.4% of our total current assets;

(b) trade and other receivables amounted to approximately S$2.50 million or approximately 50.4% of
our total current assets, which were mainly trade debt from customers of about S$2.36 million;
and

(c) inventories, comprising mainly of finished goods and packaging materials, amounted to
approximately S$0.20 million or approximately 4.1% of our total current assets.

As at 30 September 2008, current assets amounted to approximately S$3.31 million, which accounted
for approximately 30.8% of our total assets and comprise mainly of the following:

(a) cash and bank balances, which comprise mainly of cash at bank and pledged fixed deposits,
amounted to approximately S$0.79 million or approximately 23.8% of our total current assets;

(b) trade and other receivables amounted to approximately S$2.46 million or approximately 74.3% of
our total current assets; and

(c) inventories, comprising mainly of finished products (eggs) and feed, amounted to approximately
S$0.06 million or approximately 1.9% of our total current assets.

Our total current assets increased by approximately S$1.64 million or approximately 49.5% from
approximately S$3.31 million in FY2008 to approximately S$4.95 million in FY2009, which arose largely
as a result of the increase in our cash and bank balances of approximately S$1.46 million as we were
able to generate more cash from operations and also due to the increase in inventories of
approximately S$0.14 million.

Our total current assets increased by approximately S$2.25 million or approximately 45.5% from
approximately S$4.95 million in FY2009 to approximately S$7.20 million in FY2010, which arose largely
as a result of the increase in trade receivables of about S$0.53 million, increase in deposits for a new
egg-grading machine and upgrade of our existing egg-grading machine of about S$0.62 million, listing
expenses of approximately S$0.28 million accounted for as prepayments, and increase in inventories
of about S$0.64 million. The increase in trade receivables was largely due to a surge in sales to the
leading supermarkets and hypermarkets in the last two months of FY2010. Our credit terms to these
customers are 60 days.

Non-current liabilities

Non-current liabilities comprise of finance leases and deferred tax liabilities. As at the end of 30
September 2008, 2009 and 2010, our non-current liabilities was approximately S$0.25 million, S$0.54
million and S$0.93 million respectively, and represented approximately 7.6%, 13.3% and 20.9% of our
total liabilities respectively. Deferred tax liabilities amounted to approximately S$0.09 million, S$0.12
million and S$0.28 million as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. Finance leases were
approximately S$0.15 million, S$0.42 million and S$0.65 million as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and
2010 respectively.

The increase in non-current liabilities over the past three (3) financial years was mainly due to the
increase in finance leases as we improved and upgraded our farm facilities over the years, and also due
to the increase in deferred tax as we enjoyed accelerated capital allowances for the equipment
purchased during the period.

Current liabilities

Current liabilities comprise of trade and other payables, income tax payable, and the current portion of
finance leases and bank loan.

our total current liabilities. Trade and other payables comprise mainly trade payables of
approximately S$1.57 million, accrued operating expenses (consisting mainly of customer
rebates, carriage charges, and staff bonus) of approximately S$0.62 million and goods and
services tax payable of approximately S$0.08 million. The credit terms granted by our suppliers
vary from seven (7) days to 30 days. We usually transact on a cash-on-delivery basis with our

Our total current liabilities increased by approximately S$0.51 million or approximately 16.9% from
approximately S$3.02 million in FY2008 to approximately S$3.53 million in FY2009, mainly due to the
increase in trade payables of approximately S$0.17 million, increase in the current portion of our

79
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

finance leases of about S$0.24 million as we upgraded our farm facilities and the increase in income
tax payable of about S$0.23 million. During FY2009, we had fully settled the bank loan of approximately
S$0.11 million.

Our total current liabilities decreased by approximately S$0.02 million or approximately 0.5% from
approximately S$3.53 million in FY2009 to approximately S$3.51 million in FY2010. We paid income
tax of approximately S$0.98 million, which reduced our income tax payable position by approximately
S$0.50 million, and fully settled the shareholder/director loans of approximately S$0.34 million in
FY2010. However, our trade payables increased by about S$0.49 million in FY2010, out of which
approximately S$0.23 million was owed to our equipment supplier and will be paid from our finance
lease facility while an additional S$0.16 million was owed to our supplier of spent grains as we
increased our purchase of spent grains. Our current portion of finance leases had also increased by
approximately S$0.23 million as we continue to upgrade our farm facilities.

Capital and reserves

Our capital and reserves comprise mainly of share capital and retained earnings. As at 30 September
2008, 2009 and 2010, our capital and reserves amounted to approximately S$7.49 million, S$9.62
million and S$12.67 million respectively. The increase in our capital and reserves for the aforesaid
period under review is mainly attributed to the increase in our retained earnings. As at 30 September
2010, our retained earnings amounted to approximately S$2.67 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We financed our growth and operations through a combination of internal and external sources of
funds. Internal sources refer to cash generated from the Companys operating activities. External

FY2008

In FY2008, we recorded a net cash inflow from operating activities of approximately S$11.40 million.
This comprised operating cash flows before movements in working capital of approximately S$10.90
million, primarily adjusted for a net decrease in working capital of approximately S$0.65 million, and
payment of income tax of approximately S$0.15 million. The net decrease in working capital was largely
due to the following:

(a) decrease in inventories of approximately S$0.06 million; and

(b) increase in trade and other payables of approximately S$0.79 million,

which were partially offset by:

(c) increase in other receivables of approximately S$0.21 million.

Net cash outflow from investing activities amounted to approximately S$11.18 million, which was
attributable to purchases of biological assets and purchases of property, plant and equipment of
approximately S$9.34 million and S$2.47 million respectively. These were partially offset by the receipt
of proceeds from the disposal of biological assets of about S$0.63 million.

Net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to approximately S$0.28 million, due mainly to
repayments of scheduled finance leases and bank loans of approximately S$0.52 million, payment of
interest expenses of about S$0.03 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in the amount of
fixed deposits pledged as collateral for the term loan of approximately S$0.27 million.

As at 30 September 2008, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately S$0.76 million.

FY2009

In FY2009, we recorded a net cash inflow from operating activities of approximately S$12.52 million.
This comprised operating cash flows before movements in working capital of approximately S$13.12
million, primarily adjusted for a net increase in working capital of approximately S$0.36 million, and
payment of income tax of approximately S$0.24 million. The net increase in working capital was due
to the following:

(a) increase in trade and other receivables of approximately S$0.36 million, which was in line with the
increase in revenue; and

(b) increase in inventories of approximately S$0.14 million to support the increase in sales volume;

which were partially offset by the:

(c) increase in trade and other payables of approximately S$0.15 million.

Net cash outflow from investing activities amounted to approximately S$10.53 million, which was
attributable to purchases of biological assets and purchases of property, plant and equipment of
approximately S$10.42 million and approximately S$0.81 million respectively. These were partially
offset by the receipt of proceeds of about S$0.70 million from the disposal of biological assets and a
motor vehicle.

Net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to approximately S$0.78 million, due mainly to
repayments of scheduled finance leases and bank loans of approximately S$0.50 million, payment of
interest expenses of about S$0.03 million and an increase in the amount of fixed deposits pledged of
approximately S$0.25 million.

As at 30 September 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately S$1.97 million.

FY2010

In FY2010, we recorded a net cash inflow from operating activities of approximately S$11.58 million.
This comprised operating cash flows before movements in working capital of approximately S$14.41
million, primarily adjusted for a net increase in working capital of approximately S$1.85 million, and
payment of income tax of approximately S$0.98 million. The net increase in working capital was due
to the following:

(a) increase in trade and other receivables of approximately S$1.47 million, mainly due to an increase
in trade receivables of approximately S$0.54 million and other receivables of approximately
S$0.93 million. The increase in trade receivables was largely due to a surge in sales to the leading
supermarkets and hypermarkets in the last two months of FY2010. The increase in other
receivables was mainly due to deposits of approximately S$0.62 million placed with a supplier for
the purchase of an egg-grading machine and upgrade of our existing egg-grading machine; and

(b) increase in inventories of approximately S$0.63 million as we took advantage of the price cycle
of our major feed raw materials to reduce material cost;

which were partially offset by the:

(c) increase in trade and other payables of approximately S$0.25 million.

82
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF

Net cash outflow from investing activities amounted to approximately S$10.92 million, which was
attributable to purchases of biological assets and purchases of property, plant and equipment of
approximately S$10.58 million and S$1.08 million respectively. These were partially offset by the
receipt of proceeds of about S$0.73 million from the disposal of biological assets.

Net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to approximately S$0.32 million, primarily due to
repayments of scheduled finance leases of approximately S$0.45 million and payment of interest

As at 30 September 2010, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately S$2.31 million.

SEASONALITY

We generally do not experience any significant seasonality patterns in our operations and business
although we usually experience an increase in sales before major festive seasons such as Chinese
New Year, Hari Raya Puasa and Christmas. We generally experience a slowdown in sales for a short
period of time after these festive seasons.

INFLATION

FOREIGN EXCHANGE MANAGEMENT

Accounting Treatment of Foreign Currencies

Our Groups reporting currency is in S$. Our Hong Kong subsidiary, CFIL, maintains its books and
records in Hong Kong dollars.

Transactions in foreign currencies during the year will be recorded in their respective functional
currencies using exchange rates approximating those prevailing at the respective transaction dates.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date will be translated into their
respective functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those prevailing at that date. All
resultant exchange differences will be dealt with through the income statements.

In the preparation of the combined financial statements of our Group, the financial statements of our
Hong Kong subsidiary, CFIL, are translated to S$ at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the
reporting period except share capital and reserves which are translated at historical exchange rates
and income and expense items which are translated at the average exchange rates for the year.
Exchange differences arising on translation are accounted for as translation reserves in the
shareholders equity.

We currently do not have a formal hedging policy although we may, subject to the approval of our
Board, enter into relevant transactions when necessary, to hedge our exposure to foreign currency
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.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

85
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

HISTORY

The beginning of our Groups history can be traced back to 1975 when Chews Poultry Farm was
established by the late Mr Chew See Quee (father of our Executive Chairman) and Messrs Chew See
Lian (father of our Managing Director), Chew Suu Hai and Chew Chu Hoo, who are brothers (the
Original Founders). At that time, Chews Poultry Farm operated a breeder farm in Choa Chu Kang,
Singapore, selling day-old chicks to broiler and layer farms in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei.

In 1987, having identified the potential for growth in the poultry farming industry, the Original Founders
established CAPL. Over a period of five (5) years, CAPL gradually switched its focus to layer farming
for higher profits. It was also with this establishment that our Managing Director, Mr Chew Eng Hoe, his
siblings and cousins joined our Group. CAPL operated from our current location at 20 Murai Farmway,
Singapore 709153, and took over the farming and distribution of eggs from Chews Poultry Farm.

When CAPL first commenced the layer farming business, it mainly sold eggs to egg wholesalers.
Around 1997/1998, CAPL commenced the supply of brown shell eggs to a few NTUC supermarkets.
With the success in the production of white shell eggs, CAPL supplied white shell eggs under our own
Chews brand-name to all NTUC supermarkets island-wide as well as other supermarket chains such
as Cold Storage by the year 2000. In 2000, we also commenced the supply of black chicken eggs and
kampong chicken eggs. To-date, we are the only Singapore farm which supplies white shell eggs, black
chicken eggs and kampong chicken eggs. NTUC and the Dairy Farm Group, which operate
supermarkets such as Cold Storage and Shop N Save, hypermarkets such as Giant Hypermarket, as
well as convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, continue to be our major customers.

As a testament to the quality of our products, CAPL became a member of the Singapore Quality Eggs
Scheme (SQES) in January 1999. The SQES is a voluntary scheme under the AVA whereby AVA
monitors and carries out relevant tests on our breeders, layers, feed, eggs and infrastructure to ensure
the quality of our eggs.

Our strategy for success has been to specialise in formulating feed that enhances the chickens ability
to consistently produce premium grade Designer Eggs that contain specific value-added nutrients.
These Designer Eggs have a higher nutritional value when compared to the normal eggs. Through
successful research and development, we launched three (3) Designer Eggs, namely Omega-3 Fresh
Eggs, Omega-6 Fresh Eggs and Beta-Carotene Fresh Eggs, into the market in 2001. Our Organic
Selenium Fresh Eggs were launched in November 2002. We continued to diversify our range of
Designer Eggs and by 2005, all our eggs contained extra Vitamin E. In 2007, we adopted a Japanese
lactobacillus fermentation technology and the Sakura Fresh Eggs were launched in June 2007. Our
business co-operation with AP Nutripharm Pte Ltd also resulted in the successful development and
launch of the Cordyceps Fresh Eggs in November 2007.

To expand our capacity as well as to improve the quality of our eggs through better control over
environmental conditions, we are in the midst of upgrading our farm buildings and equipment
comprising 22 caged layer sheds, 19 barn raised layer sheds and eight (8) grower sheds. In February
2008, we commenced the first phase of the upgrading project with the upgrading of 11 layer sheds and
one (1) grower shed and the acquisition of a new egg grader which was completed in November 2010.
The second phase commenced in July 2010 and the entire upgrading project is expected to be
completed before the beginning of 2013.

In September 2008, our Group established the liquid eggs processing and pasteurisation plant and
began to supply liquid eggs to industrial customers in the food and beverage industry.

86
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

As a testament to our Groups continual commitment to deliver high quality, wholesome and safe
egg-products for consumers, CAPL was awarded the Healthier Choice logo by the Singapore Health
Promotion Board in 2001 and was also the first layer farm in Singapore to be awarded the accreditation
of ISO 9001:2000 and HACCP certification in 2003. Subsequently, in 2009, CAPL was certified ISO
9001:2008 under the new ISO criteria. Our eggs have also been accredited with the Halal certification
by MUIS since 2008.

In August 2010, we commenced the sale of Sakura kampong chickens as part of our business
expansion.

To-date, our Group produces more than 120,000,000 eggs per annum for distribution to egg
wholesalers, food and beverage outlets, leading supermarkets and hypermarkets in Singapore.

To rationalise our Group structure in connection with the Placement, we undertook the Restructuring
Exercise whereby our Company became the holding company of our Group. Please refer to the section
entitled Restructuring Exercise of this Offer Document for further details.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are one of the leading producers of fresh eggs in Singapore, specialising in the production and sale
of Designer Eggs, which contain specific value-added nutrients. We are also engaged in the production
and sale of liquid eggs as well as the trading of spent grains. Over the years, we have built a strong
presence and brand-name in developing high quality, wholesome and safe eggs for consumers in
Singapore.

We operate a layer farm located in Singapore at 20 Murai Farmway, Singapore 709153, which occupies
a land area of 201,545.6 sq m and has a total built-in area of approximately 72,100 sq m.

87
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

Our Business Segments

Our three (3) main business segments are as follows:

(a) production and sale of Designer Eggs and generic eggs;

(b) production and sale of liquid eggs; and

(c) trading of spent grains.

Our eggs are marketed under our Chews brand-name. We also produce eggs which are packaged
and labelled under third party brand-names such as The Pasar, First Choice and Freedom Range Eggs.

In August 2010, we commenced the sale of Sakura kampong chickens as part of our business
expansion.

(a) Production and Sale of Designer Eggs and Generic Eggs

Our principal business activity is the production and sale of Designer Eggs and generic eggs
under our Chews brand-name. We operate a layer farm which currently has approximately
490,000 layers producing approximately 340,000 eggs per day.

Our eggs are mainly sold and distributed to egg wholesalers, food and beverage outlets, leading
supermarkets and hypermarkets in Singapore. Our layer farm operation is certified with ISO
9001:2008 in respect of its food safety management system. Revenue from the sale of eggs
constituted approximately 95.6%, 92.6% and 88.6% of our total revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and
FY2010 respectively.

Our Group first set up our own feed mill in 2000 to enable our Group to have better control over
feed formulation, as we strongly believe that the feed is a key factor in ensuring optimum
productivity in layer farming. The nutritional content of the feed will have an influence on the health
and nutritional level of the layers, the effects of which would flow down to the number and quality
of eggs produced. Healthy layers will lay more eggs that are of better quality with higher nutritional
content. Feed formulation involves the combination of various ingredients and feed additives such
as corn, soybean meal, spent grains, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, in the optimum
proportion. As a result of the setting up of our own feed mill and the ability to produce feed based
on our own formulation, we have seen an overall increase in the productivity of our farm as well
as the reduction in mortality rate among our layers.

Further, in attempting to break out of the low margin business of generic eggs, our Group had
taken our application of feed formulation a step further by producing feed specifically for the
production of our Designer Eggs in 2001. The nutritional content of such feed is substantially
higher than that of normal feed, resulting in the production of eggs with higher nutritional value.
For this reason, our Designer Eggs, like other premium eggs, command a premium in the market
compared to generic eggs.

Designer Eggs are eggs which contain specific value-added nutrients that meet the nutritional
guidelines set by the Singapore Health Promotion Board as Healthier Choice products and are
also approved by the AVA. Our Designer Eggs, which contain additional Vitamin E, have total fat
content of less than 10% and feature a 30% lower cholesterol level as compared to the usual 426
mg per 100 grams of edible egg.

88
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

In addition to the control of the feed formulation, we have also commenced the upgrading of all
our Closed-housed System layer and grower sheds. The upgrading exercise involves the
improvement of the current Closed-housed System to one with greater biosecurity, better built-in
ventilation with cooling pads and stricter entrance control as well as bigger capacity for the layer
and grower sheds. The Closed-housed System allows for easy maintenance of a more hygienic
environment, whilst ensuring that the layers are isolated from other animals such as rodents and
wild birds which may be predators or disease carriers. The feed and water given to the layers are
less likely to be contaminated by pollution and viruses as a result. Our Group also ensures that
all production areas are fenced while featuring shower systems for decontamination, and there is
restricted movement of personnel within our layer farm.

Improvements in technology, such as the use of multi-tier layer technology in both closed and
open houses have enabled the development of greater efficiencies in the processing and
packaging of eggs. Multi-tier layer houses are equipped with automatic chain feeders, nipple
drinkers, egg collection and egg counting systems, feed weighing, water meters and manure belt
systems. Such measures are instrumental in maintaining the high level of biosecurity in our
Groups layer farm. The Closed-housed System is fully automated which results in labour cost
savings.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the main Designer Eggs and generic eggs that are produced,
marketed and distributed by our Group are shown in the table below.

our customers, which may be renewed on a periodic basis, depending on the customers. The
usual terms and conditions of sales include credit terms and delivery schedules.

(b) Production and Sale of Liquid Eggs

Our Group produces pure liquid eggs with no additional ingredients via a pasteurisation process
in a sanitised environment. We supply liquid eggs to our industrial customers in the food and
beverage industry. Revenue from the sale of liquid eggs constituted approximately 4.2%, 3.4%
and 3.4% of our total revenue in FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

(c) Trading of Spent Grains

We commenced the purchase of spent grains from Bee Joo in FY2009. The purchase is via a
tender process in which the quantity of spent grains is dictated by Bee Joo. Accordingly, if we are
awarded the contract, we would have to purchase the particular quantity of spent grains sold by
Bee Joo. Any spent grains not used by our own feed mill will be sold. Accordingly, we started to
sell spent grains in FY2009. Revenue from the sale of spent grains constituted approximately
3.9% and 8.0% of our total revenue in FY2009 and FY2010 respectively.

(i) Purchase of parent stock

The business process for our layer farm commences with the purchase of parent stock which
must conform to the specific requirements set by the AVA. Furthermore, the suppliers farm must
be AVA-accredited, and be free from any outbreak of avian influenza and certain diseases for the
last six (6) months prior to the purchase of the parent stock. The parent stock refers to day-old
chicks imported from the Netherlands. We ensure that all our farm sheds are in a good and
sanitised condition before the arrival of each batch of parent stock.

(ii) Purchase of raw materials for feed processing

We operate our own in-house feed mill to process and formulate our own feed for our breeders
and layers. Our in-house feed mill is semi-automated which allows us to process our feed based
on the different formulations required at different stages of our layer farm operations. We
purchase our raw materials, such as corn and soybean meal, for feed production from feed
importers and/or local suppliers according to our required specifications. In addition, we also
procure by-products, such as spent grains, from food manufacturers in Singapore to be processed
and added to our feed formulation.

92
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

(iii) Breeding phase

The parent stock is grown for breeding purposes whereby the resulting offspring of the parent
stock is then reared as layers. In accordance with the AVAs requirements, blood tests are also
conducted on each breeder during the 14th and 16th weeks of its lifespan to ensure that it is
healthy and free from salmonella pullorum. The parent stock is allowed to mate upon sexual
maturity and the eggs that are collected at this breeding stage are then sent to the hatchery.

(iv) Hatching phase

At the hatchery, the eggs go through a process whereby they are fumigated, stored and incubated
at various stages. At the end of approximately 21 days, most of the eggs will hatch and healthy
female chicks will be vaccinated.

(v) Growing phase

Female chicks which have gone through the first round of vaccination are sent to grower sheds
where they are raised in a temperature-controlled Closed-housed System with built-in ventilation
and automatic feeding system up to the 18th week of their lifespans. During this period, the pullets
are given various courses of vaccination.

(vi) Laying phase

Between the 16th and 18th week of the pullets lifespans, they are transferred to the layer sheds
for the laying process until they are approximately 72 weeks old. During the laying period, each
layer has an average production capability of approximately 300 eggs.

(vii) Central grading and packing station

The eggs from the layer sheds are transferred to our central grading and packing station on
automated conveyer belts. Our quality control staff will segregate eggs with defects that cannot
be sold. Broken or cracked eggs and eggs with dirty egg shells will be discarded whereas eggs
with shells which are uneven and light coloured or of slightly irregular shape are sent to our liquid
egg processing room for processing into liquid eggs.

After the visual inspection, we use an automated grading and weighing machine to segregate the
eggs according to their weight. Each egg is then imprinted with our brand-name and batch number
code for tracing purposes. Prior to packing, our quality control staff will perform a final visual
inspection of all the eggs.

The eggs are then packed by our automated packaging machine or packaging staff into egg trays
and design packs, labelled and sealed in accordance with our in-house specifications and expiry
dates. The packed eggs are delivered to our customers within 24 hours.

(viii) Liquid egg processing room

Eggs which have uneven and light coloured egg shells or are of slightly irregular shape are sent
to the liquid egg processing room. The eggs are first checked for impurities, air flushed and then
washed to remove foreign particles, if any.

93
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

Each batch of eggs is deshelled before being homogenized and pasteurised in the liquid egg
processing room, which is a sanitised area. The pasteurised liquid egg is then packed using an
auto-fill packer with ultraviolet-sterilisation, labelled and chilled in our chiller. Our Group uses
chiller trucks to deliver the packets of chilled liquid eggs to our industrial customers in the food and
beverage industry.

(ix) Collection and disposal of spent hens

Hens which are over 72 weeks old are sent to trading houses which will onsell to third party
slaughter houses.

(x) Waste disposal

We recycle our waste materials as part of our efforts to be environmentally friendly. For example,
we have yearly contracts with IUT Singapore Pte Ltd, a food waste recycling company in the
biogas industry, for the disposal of dead chickens and egg shells.

We have also on 27 April 2009, entered into a two (2) year memorandum of understanding with
Biomax Technologies Pte Ltd (Biomax) for the rapid composting of chicken droppings to
produce organic fertilisers. The bacteria and enzymes as well as machinery for the composting
process are provided by Biomax and are located at our farm. The organic fertiliser produced will
be sold by Biomax, and profits after deducting production and marketing costs will be shared
equally by Biomax and our Group.

PRODUCTION FACILITIES

Our layer farm is located at 20 Murai Farmway, Singapore 709153, and occupies a land area of
201,545.6 sq m. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have 22 caged layer sheds, 19 barn raised layer
sheds and eight (8) grower sheds which house approximately 650,000 chickens. Our production
facilities also include a central grading and packing station that comprises two (2) egg graders with a
total of 15 packing lanes and also a liquid egg processing room.

PRODUCTION CAPACITIES AND UTILISATION RATES

The following table illustrates the maximum rearing capacity at any one time, actual rearing capacity or
utilisation rate of our grower and layer sheds as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010:

30 September 2008 30 September 2009 30 September 2010


Utilisation Utilisation Utilisation
Capacity Rate Capacity Rate Capacity Rate
(000) (%) (000) (%) (000) (%)

Grower sheds 158 88.7 158 79.7 193 54.5


Layer sheds 500 77.0 568 80.5 619 79.1

We have approximately 140,000 chickens, 126,000 chickens and 105,000 chickens in our grower
sheds as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. The reduction in the number of chickens
at the end of the period under review is due to some chicken flocks being transferred to the layer sheds
upon their maturity and these sheds were in the process of being cleansed before the next flock of
chickens is reared. On average, we have approximately 120,000 chickens in our grower sheds in
FY2010.

94
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

We have approximately 385,000 chickens, 458,000 chickens and 490,000 chickens in our layer sheds
as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. The decrease in the utilisation rate over the
period under review is a result of our upgrading projects, increasing our rearing capacity from
approximately 500,000 chickens in FY2008 to approximately 568,000 chickens in FY2009 to
approximately 619,000 chickens in FY2010. On average, we have approximately 482,000 chickens in
our layer sheds in FY2010.

Our actual egg output for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 was approximately 96 million eggs, 106 million
eggs and 121 million eggs respectively.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The poultry industry in Singapore is highly regulated and our operations are subject to the stringent
requirements for food safety set by the AVA. The AVA constantly monitors the development of the
poultry industry in Singapore and the region, and their officers periodically perform surveillance in our
premises to ensure that our operations strictly adhere to their requirements and guidelines.

In line with the governments policy, we place great emphasis on the safety and quality of our products
to ensure that they are hygienic, safe and fresh for our end consumers. Disease prevention is of utmost
importance in our layer farm. To-date, we have not breached any laws or government regulations or
been ordered by any government authority or body to pay any fines with respect to our layer farm
operations or to close down any part of our operations. There has been no mass outbreak of diseases
amongst our chickens in our layer farm. We believe that our continuous effort in ensuring the safety and
quality of our products is one of the key factors that has contributed to our growth and success.

We implement strict quality control measures at every stage of our layer farm operations. Some of our
quality control measures include:

purchases of parent stock must conform to the specific requirements set by the AVA and the
suppliers farm must be AVA-accredited, and be free from any outbreak of avian influenza and
certain diseases for the last six (6) months prior to purchase;

implementation of the Closed-housed System, an enclosed system with high biosecurity, built-in
ventilation and strict entrance control which allows for the easy maintenance of a more hygienic
environment, whilst ensuring that the layers are isolated from other animals such as rodents and
wild birds which may be predators or disease carriers. The feed and water given to the layers are
also less likely to be contaminated by pollution and viruses;

regular vaccination of our chickens in accordance with our in-house vaccination schedule for
disease control;

blood tests conducted on all our breeders in the 14th week and 16th week of their lifespans to
ensure that they are healthy and free from salmonella pullorum;

own in-house feed mill which processes and formulates our own feed for our breeders and layers
based on the different formulation required at different stages of our layer farm operations. We
ensure that our feed is of optimum quality by purchasing feed raw materials from feed importers
and/or local suppliers according to our required specifications;

quality checks on all eggs at our central grading and packing station to segregate eggs with
defects;

95
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

disinfection of vehicles and people entering our layer farm;

restriction of access to personnel essential to the farm operations only; and

prohibition of animals such as rodents and wild birds, foreign poultry or foreign poultry products
(including meat and eggs) from entering our premises.

For the production of liquid eggs, it is crucial that the liquid eggs are properly pasteurised. The quality
control process starts with ensuring that the eggs used in producing liquid eggs meet our internal
requirements of quality and product safety by way of physical examination and the eggs are used when
they are at their freshest, usually within three (3) days of being laid. Pasteurised liquid eggs are properly
packed in a sanitised environment and refrigerated at below four (4) degrees celsius. Sampling tests
of the liquid eggs are conducted in-house as well as by the AVA.

As a testament to our Groups continual commitment to deliver high quality, wholesome and safe eggs
for consumers, CAPL was awarded the Healthier Choice logo by the Singapore Health Promotion
Board in 2001 and was also the first layer farm in Singapore to be awarded the accreditation of ISO
9001:2000 and HACCP certification in 2003. Subsequently in 2009, CAPL was certified ISO 9001:2008
under the new ISO criteria. Our eggs have also been accredited with the Halal certification by MUIS
since 2008.

OUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Our customers are based in Singapore. In respect of the sale and distribution of our eggs, our

Save as disclosed above, none of our customers accounted for 5% or more of our Groups total
revenue for each of FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010.

For the period under review, the value of purchases for each of the above customers has grown
continuously. The fluctuations in percentages are a result of the change in our total revenue which

96
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

includes the sale of spent grains. Sales were recorded with Deksen Enterprise Pte Ltd from FY2009
because it is our customer for spent grains. We commenced the trading of spent grains in FY2009.

We do not have any long term agreements or arrangements with any of our major customers.

As at the date of this Offer Document, our Directors are of the view that we are not materially dependent
on any one of our major customers listed above.

To the best of our Directors knowledge, as at the Latest Practicable Date, we are not aware of any
information or arrangement which would lead to a cessation or termination of our relationships with any
of our current major customers.

None of our Directors, Substantial Shareholders or any of their Associates is related or has any interest,
direct or indirect, in any of the above major customers. To the best of our knowledge and belief, there
are no arrangements or understanding with any customer pursuant to which any of our Directors and
Executive Officers was appointed.

OUR MAJOR SUPPLIERS

Our suppliers are selected based on criteria such as the quality of materials supplied, business
relationship with our Group, as well as their reputation, pricing, reliability, track record, service,
punctuality and response time. The suppliers accounting for 5% or more of our total purchases for each
of FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 are provided below:

As a percentage of our total purchases (%)


Supplier Materials supplied FY2008* FY2009* FY2010

Ghee Huat Co., Pte Ltd Corn 17.5 13.0 8.0

CYT International Pte Ltd Feed materials 3.6 3.1 5.1
Bee Joo Industries Pte Ltd Spent grains 3.0 9.9
* Figures include purchases made through our related party, Chews Poultry Farm.

Save as disclosed above, none of our suppliers accounted for 5% or more of our Groups total
purchases for each of FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010.

The year-to-year fluctuations in our purchases from our suppliers, other than Bee Joo, were mainly due
to our requirements such as cost, quality, availability and delivery schedules of the raw materials. For
example, the purchase of corn would depend mainly on the harvest pattern of each geographical
territory and our purchase is therefore dependent on such pattern. Ghee Huat Co., Pte Ltd, Koyyah
Sons Pte Ltd and Deksen Enterprise Pte Ltd are our suppliers of corn. Ghee Huat Co., Pte Ltd supplies
corn from India and Myanmar. Koyyah Sons Pte Ltds supply of corn is from India while Deksen
Enterprise Pte Ltd supplies corn from India, Myanmar and Argentina.

There has been no disruption in the supply of raw materials to our Group to-date. We commenced the
purchase of spent grains from Bee Joo in FY2009 via a tender process. The quantity of spent grains

97
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

purchased is dependent on the quantity dictated by Bee Joo. For example, our revenue from the trading
of spent grains increased in FY2010 primarily due to the increase in the supply of spent grains dictated
by Bee Joo during FY2010.

We do not have any long term agreements or arrangements with any of our major suppliers as this
would provide us with the flexibility to evaluate and select alternative suppliers who may be able to
provide better quality raw materials at competitive prices.

As at the date of this Offer Document, our Directors are of the view that we are not materially dependent
on any one of our major suppliers listed above.

To the best of our Directors knowledge, as at the Latest Practicable Date, we are not aware of any
information or arrangement which would lead to a cessation or termination of our relationships with any
of our current major suppliers.

None of our Directors, Substantial Shareholders or any of their Associates is related or has any interest,
direct or indirect, in any of the above major suppliers. To the best of our knowledge and belief, there are
no arrangements or understanding with any supplier pursuant to which any of our Directors and
Executive Officers was appointed.

CREDIT POLICY

Credit Terms Offered to Our Customers

We transact on a cash-on-delivery basis for some of our distributors or walk-in customers. For our
customers that we grant credit to, our credit terms range from seven (7) to 60 days, depending on the
customers creditworthiness and the length of our business relationship with them. Longer credit terms
are usually granted to leading supermarkets and hypermarkets. We believe that our credit policy and
terms are generally in line with industry practice. We have not encountered any material defaults by our
customers that had significantly affected our financial performance for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010.

Our Managing Director, Mr Chew Eng Hoe, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ms Tay Bee Gek Dorriz,
together with our finance team manage and administer the credit policies, as well as monitor collection
of payments for our Group on a regular basis. If a customer fails to make payment within the credit term
granted, our sales personnel will contact the customer to follow up on the overdue debt. On a
case-by-case basis and upon the request of customers, we may allow our regular customers to extend
the tenure of the granted credit term as part of a goodwill gesture to maintain our long term business
relationship. Such extension will be subject to the approval by our Managing Director, Mr Chew Eng
Hoe. If we are still unable to collect payment, we may commence legal proceedings to recover the debt.
At the end of each month, our Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer will review all outstanding
debts. Based on the results of such review, we will make specific allowance for doubtful debts in
accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards for all outstanding trade debts. We will
write-off a debt upon identifying that it is unrecoverable and after obtaining approval from our Managing
Director and our Chief Financial Officer if the amount is S$25,000 and below. For amounts above
S$25,000, approval for the write-off will have to be obtained from the Board of Directors.

For the period under review, save for the amount of S$317,000 owed by Chews Poultry Farm to CAPL
in FY2009 which was written-off in FY2010, we have not experienced any significant specific provision
for doubtful trade debts or bad debts written-off.

98
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

As at the end of FY2010, our trade receivables amounted to approximately S$2.88 million. As at the
Latest Practicable Date, we have collected approximately S$2.68 million or approximately 93.0% of the
said trade receivables.

Our average trade receivables turnover days for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 were as follows:

FY2008 FY2009 FY2010

Average trade receivables turnover days(1) 67 60 62

Note:
(1) For FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010, the average trade receivables turnover days is calculated on the basis of average trade
receivables (net of allowance for doubtful debts, if any) divided by revenue (less cash sales) multiplied by 365 days.

Average trade receivables turnover days decreased from 67 days in FY2008 to 60 days in FY2009 as
we commenced the trading of spent grains in FY2009 for which we were paid between seven (7) to 15
days. Average trade receivables turnover days increased from 60 days in FY2009 to 62 days in
FY2010 as there was a surge in sales to the leading supermarkets and hypermarkets in the last two (2)
months of FY2010. Our credit terms to these customers are 60 days.

Credit Terms Granted by Our Suppliers

The credit terms granted by our suppliers vary from seven (7) to 30 days except for our suppliers of corn
from India which we usually transact on a cash-on-delivery basis. Credit terms granted by our suppliers
vary depending on the different jurisdictions in which they are located.

Our average trade payables turnover days for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 were as follows:

FY2008 FY2009 FY2010

Average trade payables turnover days(1) 25 36 44

Note:
(1) For FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010, the average trade payables turnover days is calculated on the basis of average trade
payables divided by cost of sales (includes costs relating to biological assets which have been capitalised) multiplied by 365
days.

Average trade payables turnover days increased from 25 days in FY2008 to 36 days in FY2009 as we
started to purchase directly from the suppliers instead of through Chews Poultry Farm. These suppliers
granted us longer credit terms as compared to Chews Poultry Farm. Average trade payables turnover
days increased from 36 days in FY2009 to 44 days in FY2010 as we increased our purchases of spent
grains for which we are given credit terms as compared to other major feed raw materials such as corn
whereby payment is in advance. In addition, the increase was a result of an outstanding amount
payable to our equipment supplier under a finance lease.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Our inventory comprises mainly eggs, processed feed, raw materials for the formulation of feed, and
packaging materials.

Eggs are usually delivered to our customers within 24 hours of production. As eggs are perishable, we
do not store our eggs.

99
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

At our layer farm, we have a warehouse to store an average of one (1) months supply of raw materials
for the formulation of our feed as well as the processed feed and packaging materials. Our vaccines are
stored in a refrigerator while our packets of liquid eggs are stored in a chiller in the liquid egg processing
room.

We undertake prudent measures for the storage of our inventory to ensure that they are properly
recorded and stored. Our inventory of feed raw materials is stored and arranged according to their
specification, product type and date of delivery.

We adopt a first-in-first-out policy for our inventory of raw materials for the formulation of feed and
packaging materials whereby inventory which arrives first is the first to be utilised. Our staff monitor the
incoming and outgoing inventory and we also keep physical inventory records to keep track of our
inventory levels. We also conduct weekly and monthly stock-takes and inspections of our inventory.

For the last three (3) financial years and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we have not experienced
any major case of pilferage, loss of inventory or damaged inventory.

In the last three (3) financial years, we have not made any provisions for stock obsolescence or stock
write-off.

Our inventory turnover days for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 were as follows:

FY2008 FY2009 FY2010

Inventory turnover days(1) 4 5 17

Note:
(1) For FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010, inventory turnover days is calculated on the basis of average inventory divided by cost
of sales (includes costs relating to biological assets which have been capitalised) multiplied by 365 days.

Inventory turnover days increased from five (5) days in FY2009 to 17 days in FY2010 as we increased
our inventory of feed raw materials to take advantage of the price cycle of these feed raw materials in
order to reduce our purchase cost.

SALES AND MARKETING

Our Groups overall sales and marketing activities are spearheaded by our Managing Director, Mr
Chew Eng Hoe, who is supported by our Sales and Marketing Manager, Mr Tan Swee Teck, and our

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development activities are essential for our layer farming business as they allow us to
enjoy continual growth and market share expansion, increase the competitiveness of our eggs, as well
as to reduce our costs of production. Our research and development activities are led by our Managing
Director, Mr Chew Eng Hoe, and our General Manager, Production, Mr Tan Chee Nam.

106
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

Our research and development initiatives can be divided into several categories as follows:

(i) Improvement in feed formulation

The main research and development efforts are geared towards improving the productivity of the
layers and the quality of the eggs produced. Feed formulation plays a vital role as the nutritional
content of the feed will have a bearing on the health and nutritional level of the layers, the effects
of which would in turn influence the number and quality of eggs produced.

Accordingly, we set up our own feed mill to have better control over the feed formulation. We
constantly explore different feed formulae to enhance the productivity of the layers and the quality
of the eggs produced.

Further, in attempting to break out of the low margin business of generic eggs, our Group had
taken our application of feed formulation a step further by producing feed specifically for the
production of our Designer Eggs. The nutritional content of such feed, which first began in 2001,
is substantially higher than that of normal feed, resulting in the production of eggs with higher
nutritional value. For this reason, our Designer Eggs, like other premium eggs, command a
premium in the market compared to generic eggs. All of our existing Designer Eggs meet the
nutritional guidelines set by the Singapore Health Promotion Board as Healthier Choice products
and are also approved by the AVA. Newly developed Designer Eggs will be sent to third party
laboratories for trials and further analysis. All of our eggs will also be submitted to the Singapore
Health Promotion Board and the AVA for approval before marketing.

(ii) Quality control and management

Our Group continuously conducts research to ensure that the necessary standards of product
quality are maintained. Research and development in quality control involves an integrated
system to monitor, assess and report on the performance and/or quality of the various stages of
an existing production process. Should the results prove unsatisfactory, efforts will then be
undertaken to rectify the situation. It was research and development in this respect that led to the
identification of the weaknesses inherent in the earlier rearing techniques adopted by our Group
and the subsequent implementation of the Closed-housed System to reduce the mortality rate of
the chickens, as well as to improve productivity through the creation of a safer and more hygienic
environment for the layers.

(iii) Process improvement and development

Our process improvement and development efforts centre on the design and/or customisation of
our production facilities from time-to-time so as to suit the requirements of our Group and to
achieve optimum production and quality. The efforts can be oriented towards increasing the
utilisation of existing capital equipment assets, which are retrofit designs.

For example, our Group utilises process improvement and development to determine the
optimum design of our farm sheds, including the design and specifications of the machinery
within, such as the ventilation system to suit a particular farm shed design. This is done each time
we construct a new farm shed.

Our research and development expenses were insignificant as compared to our total operating costs
for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010.

107
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

STAFF TRAINING

We recognise staff training as a critical part of our quality assurance commitment to our customers. Our
staff undergo both internal and external training programmes.

Internal training programmes include:

(a) orientation training for new employees to educate them on company policies and basic skills and
knowledge that are relevant to their respective job functions;

(b) production skills and other operational training for our production and other operational staff to
equip them with the relevant production skills and knowledge necessary for their respective job
functions; and

(c) occupational safety training to educate our production and other operational staff on occupational
safety at our production facilities and to train them on safety precautions which they are expected
to adopt in the course of their work.

External training involves training on programmes for which we are accredited, such as HACCP and
Halal certification.

The amount of expenses in relation to staff training for FY2008, FY2009 and FY2010 was not significant
since most of the training was conducted in-house and comprise mainly on-the-job training
programmes.

COMPETITION

We compete directly with other distributors of fresh eggs in Singapore, which include local layer farm
companies and layer farms in Malaysia that export their eggs to Singapore.

To the best of our Directors knowledge, we are one (1) of the only three (3) layer farms currently
producing fresh eggs in Singapore. The other two (2) layer farm companies are Seng Choon Farm Pte
Ltd and N & N Agriculture Pte Ltd. We also face strong competition from layer farms in Malaysia as our
Directors believe that the majority of the chicken eggs imported into Singapore (which is approximately
77% of chicken eggs currently consumed in Singapore) are supplied by Malaysian layer farms.

We believe that the barriers to entry for the production of fresh chicken eggs are high as it is a
knowledge-based industry whereby many years of experience are required to acquire the relevant skills
to be successful. Furthermore, a long period of time is usually required for a layer farm to begin the
commercial production of eggs and to achieve maximum production efficiency with an approximate
lead time of two (2) years and four (4) years respectively. We believe that the principal competitive
factors in our industry include price, service and product quality.

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 in Singapore.

108
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

Our Directors believe that our competitive strengths are as follows:

(a) We have a strong track record and established brand-name in the industry

Over the last ten (10) years, we have established a strong track record and reputation for our wide
range of Designer Eggs and generic eggs sold under our Chews brand-name. Our Group places
high priority in building good rapport and long term strategic relationships with our customers by
making prompt deliveries and providing competitively-priced high-quality products and services to
them. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have more than 90 corporate customers including
NTUC and the Dairy Farm Group. Our Group has continuously endeavoured to produce high
quality eggs and this has led us to successfully achieve a broad customer base. Our eggs are
usually delivered to our customers within 24 hours of production so as to ensure their freshness.

As a testament to our strong track record and established brand-name, our Company was
awarded the Healthier Choice logo by the Singapore Health Promotion Board in 2001 and was
also the first layer farm in Singapore to be awarded the accreditation of ISO 9001:2000 and
HACCP certification in 2003. Subsequently in 2009, we were also certified ISO 9001:2008 under
the new ISO criteria. Our eggs have also been accredited with the Halal certification by MUIS
since 2008.

(b) We have the widest range of premium eggs in Singapore

We believe that we are one of the leading producers of fresh eggs which contain specific
value-added nutrients in Singapore. Over the years, we have constantly explored different feed
formulations to produce eggs of higher nutritional value to meet the needs of increasingly health
conscious consumers. Through our in-house efforts, we have continually launched new Designer
Eggs over the last ten (10) years. Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our
Company and our Group Business Overview for details of our Designer Eggs.

Our wide range of Designer Eggs meet the nutritional guidelines set by the Singapore Health
Promotion Board as Healthier Choice products and are also approved by the AVA. Our Designer
Eggs, which contain additional Vitamin E, have total fat content of less than 10% and feature 30%
lower cholesterol level as compared to the usual 426 mg per 100 grams of edible egg.

(c) We utilise a highly automated and integrated processing system and constantly keep
abreast of new technology

We are receptive to the adoption of new high technology machinery and equipment and have
continued to emphasise the automation of production by investing substantially in new machinery
and equipment. We also utilise new technology to increase our production efficiency and
capability while minimising the labour requirements at the same time. For our layer farm
operation, we have commenced the upgrading of our farm buildings and equipment comprising 22
caged layer sheds, 19 barn raised layer sheds and eight (8) grower sheds in February 2008. We
are also increasing the capacity of our central grading and packing station. The upgrading project
is expected to be completed before the beginning of 2013.

Our production facilities such as our feed mill processors and liquid egg processing room are all
automated. The use of a highly automated process also ensures the consistency and high quality
of our products. As such, we are able to compete effectively with our competitors.

109
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

(d) We are less susceptible to pricing or margin pressures and we are not materially
dependent on any single customer

We are less susceptible to pricing or margin pressures because we produce our own Designer
Eggs under our Chews brand-name and we have reduced the dependency on egg wholesalers
for our fresh eggs through our diversification strategy of selling directly to our customers such as
the supermarkets and hypermarkets. In addition, with a well diversified customer base that
comprises of egg wholesalers, food and beverage outlets, leading supermarkets and
hypermarkets, we are therefore not materially dependent on any single customer which leads to
greater stability in the demand for our products and/or services.

(e) We continually seek to innovate and increase the variety of our products

Over the years, we have continually developed a wide range of products to meet the needs of
increasingly health conscious consumers. Our Designer Eggs were first launched in 2001.
To-date, the number of Designer Eggs has increased from the original three (3) to nine (9) main
categories. Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Company and our
Group Business Overview for details on our different types of Designer Eggs and generic
eggs. As part of our efforts to innovate and increase the variety of our products, we have, in
September 2008, established our liquid egg processing room and began to supply liquid eggs to
our industrial customers in the food and beverage industry. Our wide product range enables us to
target different market segments which provide a platform to capture greater market share by
catering to the needs of different consumer types, thereby reducing our dependency on any
individual product.

(f) We have obtained the Halal certification by MUIS for our eggs

Since 2008, we have been certified by MUIS as having met the requirements for Halal fresh eggs.
This provides us with a competitive advantage in the Muslim community.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Eggs play an important role in the daily diet of consumers as they provide an essential source of
nutrition. Other than being a good source of high quality protein, eggs also provide important nutrients
and minerals such as iron, vitamins and phosphorus. On the whole, eggs provide a well-balanced and
inexpensive source of nutrients for persons of all ages. Given its modest cost, ease of preparation,
popular taste appeal and low caloric value, our Directors believe that there are no readily available
substitute products for eggs in their role as a staple food.1

111
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

In Singapore, about four (4) million eggs are consumed on average each day, of which about 920,000
eggs (about 23% of the daily egg consumption) are supplied by local farms, with the remainder being
largely made up of imports from Malaysia.2 About a third of the eggs are consumed by households on
a daily basis with the balance supplied to industrial customers in the food and beverage outlets. As
shown in the chart below, the consumption of eggs on a per capita basis has been relatively stable over
the past decade, ranging from approximately 268 pieces to approximately 308 pieces per annum. Per
capita consumption of eggs recorded a sharp fall in 2004 due to the avian influenza pandemic, but had
recovered over the subsequent years, recording a CAGR of approximately 3.88% during the period
from 2004 to 2009. This illustrates that health safety concerns over diseases such as avian influenza
tend to subside over a short span of time; with Singapore consumers regaining confidence and
resuming their consumption of eggs soon after the outbreak. It is noted that the consumption of eggs
remained relatively constant from 2008 to 2009 when the Singapore economy was adversely affected
by the global financial crisis.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, and to the best of our Directors knowledge, there are three (3) layer
farms in Singapore. The number of eggs supplied by the local farms has shown modest growth,
registering a CAGR of approximately 1.55% during the period from 1999 to 2009.3

The liquid eggs produced by the Singapore layer farms are mainly supplied to industrial customers in
the food and beverage industry which will use these liquid eggs in the production of other food products.
Besides our Company, there are currently two (2) other companies which produce liquid eggs in
Singapore.

To the best of our Directors knowledge, the three (3) local layer farm companies are our Company,
Seng Choon Farm Pte Ltd and N & N Agriculture Pte Ltd. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our
Company has a daily production volume of approximately 340,000 eggs. Therefore, our Directors
believe that our market share in the local egg industry is approximately 8%. Please refer to the section

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

entitled General Information on our Company and our Group Competition of this Offer Document
for details. With respect to Designer Eggs, we believe that we have the largest product offering in the
Singapore market.

PROSPECTS

The consumption of eggs in Singapore is to a large extent driven by the growth of the local population
as well as tourist arrivals. As at the end of 2009, the total population of Singapore which comprised of
both Singapore residents and non-residents, amounted to approximately five (5) million. This
represented an increase of approximately 960,000 or approximately 24% over the past decade.4 It is
expected that the total population in Singapore will continue to increase in future, primarily driven by the
continued influx of foreign immigrants. Visitor arrivals in Singapore, on the other hand, rose by
approximately 15.9% year-on-year in December 2010 to reach 1,127,000 visitors; marking the 13th
consecutive month of record visitor arrivals.5 This brings the total number of visitors for the year 2010
to 11,638,663, representing an approximate 20.2% year-on-year increase5. With the development of
the Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa Integrated Resorts as well as the Formula One
Singapore night race, Singapores continuous efforts in establishing itself as a premier business city
and a lifestyle and entertainment capital bodes well for continued growth in the tourism sector. Our
Directors believe that the growth in the population size and tourist arrivals will be a continuing trend and
will therefore result in greater consumption of eggs by consumers.

The Singapore economy grew by 10.5% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2010, after having grown
by 19.5% and 16.9% year-on-year in the second and first quarter of 2010 respectively, thus showing
resiliency in its economic recovery. Advance estimates for the fourth quarter of 2010 released by the
Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) indicate that the economy expanded by 12.5% year-on-year,
improving from the 10.5% growth in the third quarter. For the whole of 2010, MTI estimates that the
Singapore economy has expanded by around 14.7%. Going forward, MTIs forecast of gross domestic
product (GDP) growth for 2011 is expected to be at a more sustainable level, ranging from 4.0% to
6.0%.6 Our Directors believe that with continued economic growth and increasing affluence among the
Singapore populace, the demand for premium eggs such as our Designer Eggs, will consequently rise
in the future. Furthermore, Singapore consumers are increasingly becoming more health conscious
and will therefore become more receptive towards our Designer Eggs.

On 10 December 2009, the AVA established a new fund to enhance Singapores food supply resilience
especially in rice, chicken, pork, fish, leafy vegetables and eggs (the Food Fund). The Food Fund will
be used to support Singapores food diversification and food capability development. In the area of food
capability development, the purpose of the Food Fund is to maximize local farm productivity by
co-funding research and development in local food farming technology, and upgrading the production
capability of local farms. The long term objective of the Singapore government is to encourage the local
egg producers to increase their egg production to meet 30% of the local egg consumption.7 On 11
October 2010, the AVA announced that 11 successful applicants, including our Company, will be
receiving funding support from the Food Fund. The size of the Food Fund will also be doubled from the
initial sum of S$5 million to S$10 million.8 With policy and funding support from the Singapore
government, our Directors therefore believe that the market share of local egg farms will increase as
a result.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

In order to prevent disruptions of fresh shell eggs supply due to unforeseen events such as a disease
outbreak of avian influenza, the AVA started a campaign in February 2010 to increase awareness
among consumers about alternative forms of eggs such as liquid eggs and egg powder. Such
alternatives, which currently account for less than 1% of Singapores total egg consumption, can serve
to minimize the inconvenience of sudden disruptions to the supply of fresh shell eggs and ensure
Singapores food security.9 In addition, when compared to shell eggs, liquid eggs and egg powder have
other benefits such as lower risk of contamination and minimal storage space. Our Directors believe
that as consumers become increasingly aware of the benefits of liquid eggs as an alternative to shell
eggs, our Companys revenue from the sale of liquid eggs is expected to increase.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND FUTURE PLANS

Leveraging on our brand-name and network of contacts, we have established ourselves in Singapore
and intend to strengthen our position as one of the leading producers of fresh eggs in Singapore. To
achieve our business objectives, we plan to adopt the following strategies to drive our future growth and
increase shareholder value.

(a) Continuous improvement and upgrade of our facilities, machinery and equipment to
enhance operational and cost efficiency

We will continuously seek better processes and technologies to ensure that our facilities,
machinery and equipment are upgraded to achieve (i) improvement in the quality of our products;
(ii) higher levels of productivity and efficiency; (iii) improvement in controls and reduction of
wastage; and (iv) reduction in the costs of production.

To-date, we have completed the first phase of the upgrading of our farm buildings and equipment
comprising 22 caged layer sheds, 19 barn raised layer sheds and eight (8) grower sheds. We are
also increasing the capacity of our central grading and packing station. The first phase involved
11 layer sheds and one (1) grower shed and the acquisition of a new egg grader. The second
phase commenced in July 2010 and the entire upgrading project is expected to be completed
before the beginning of 2013. We intend to utilise approximately S$1.8 million of the net proceeds
raised pursuant to the Placement for phase two (2) of the abovementioned upgrading project.

(b) Enhance our product development capabilities and expand our range of food products

We believe that in order to keep up with the rapid changes in market trends and consumer
preferences, we need to continually improve the quality and variety of our products.

Over the last ten (10) years, we have continuously expanded our range of Designer Eggs and
currently have nine (9) main categories.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

Tapping on our experience in breeding breeders and layers as well as our success in producing
Sakura Fresh Eggs, we have recently expanded into the business of producing fresh Sakura
kampong chickens for sale. Sakura kampong chickens are fed with Japanese lactobacillus
fermented feed which will assist in their digestion and absorption of nutrients, therefore enhancing
the quality of the chickens as well as reducing their fat content. As with the rest of our rearing
process for breeders and layers, we do not use any antibiotics and growth promoters for the
Sakura kampong chickens. The AVA has approved our production of Sakura kampong chickens
for sale and we have commenced this business since August 2010.

We intend to continue enhancing our product development capabilities and expanding our range
of food products. In particular, we have recently obtained approval from the AVA on 27 December
2010 to conduct a one (1) year pilot project on planting Sakura papaya trees using the Sakura
lactobacillus planting technology (Papaya Planting Pilot Project) within the premises of our
layer farm (subject to our Group meeting certain requirements which have been specified by the
AVA in respect of the Papaya Planting Pilot Project). Plantation soil used to grow the papayas will
be treated with the Sakura lactobacillus planting technology which can improve harvest gain in
terms of product volume, as well as enhance the quality and taste of the papayas. The Sakura
lactobacillus planting technology will also rid the plantation of any pest infestation without the
implementation of pesticide control. The planting of the Sakura papaya trees within the premises
of our layer farm will also enable us to maximise utilisation of the areas between the farm sheds.
We intend to commence the said pilot project in the second quarter of 2011. The Papaya Planting
Pilot Project would only be valid for a period of one (1) year. AVA approval would have to be sought
one (1) month before the end of the Papaya Planting Pilot Project if our Group wishes to continue
the planting of the Sakura papaya trees under this new food product business.

We will also continue to place emphasis on attracting and retaining skilled professionals. We plan
to achieve the following product development objectives:

(i) the continued improvement of the quality of our existing products as well as development of
new products or new varieties of existing products; and

(ii) the improvement and development of production technology to increase our production
efficiency.

(c) Expansion of our customer base

We have a diverse customer base ranging from egg wholesalers, food and beverage outlets to
leading supermarkets and hypermarkets. We intend to increase our marketing efforts and
continue with the expansion of our customer base by primarily penetrating the food and beverage
industry. Our sales and marketing personnel have been constantly marketing our products
through our existing network and will continue with such efforts. In addition, we also intend to
increase our marketing activities in relation to our Designer Eggs to further promote and increase
awareness amongst consumers.

(d) Strengthen our brand recognition through our brand management and marketing
strategies

We believe that a key factor in the future growth of our businesses is consumer recognition and
loyalty towards our brand and products. We intend to strengthen our Chews brand-name so as
to further distinguish ourselves from our competitors. We intend to achieve this through a
two-pronged focus and emphasis on (i) product development, innovation and quality; and (ii) our

115
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

branding and marketing strategies, which include brand management and positioning, advertising
and promotional activities, packaging design as well as participation in more trade fairs and
exhibitions.

(e) Expansion of our business through acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances

In addition to growing organically, we may consider expanding our business through acquisitions,
joint ventures or strategic alliances with parties who create synergistic values with our existing
business. Through such acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances, we are looking to
strengthen our market position, expand our network of customers as well as expand into
complementary new businesses including the downstream and/or upstream components of the
poultry industry.

Presently, we do not have any specific initiatives or plans with regard to any overseas investment
and/or expansions but we are always on the look-out for new business opportunities and are
ever-ready to harness our relevant expertise and knowledge wherever the opportunity arises.

ORDER BOOK

In general, due to the nature of our business, we do not enter into long term contracts with our
customers. Most of our orders are placed through purchase orders and we therefore do not have order
books. Nonetheless, the seasonal demand for our products results in orders being generally relatively
larger in the weeks leading up to major festive seasons such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa
and Christmas, in line with our heightened business activities and relatively larger revenue during these
periods.

TREND INFORMATION

For the current financial year, our Directors have observed the following trends based on the revenue
and operations of our Group as at the Latest Practicable Date:

(i) following the Newcastle disease virus outbreak in Malaysia, there was an immediate increase in
the demand for eggs produced in Singapore. The shortage in egg supply from Malaysia is likely
to continue till February 2011. We expect an overall increase in the demand for eggs produced in
Singapore due to the lack of general consumer confidence in the eggs imported from Malaysia.
In addition, the supply shortage in Malaysia has also led to an increase in the price of our eggs
charged to egg wholesalers, which saw a record high in November 2010. This has a direct impact
on our turnover as egg wholesalers constitute a major group of our customers. We expect the
price of our eggs charged to egg wholesalers to stabilise when the supply condition in Malaysia
begins to recover from February 2011;

(ii) the demand for eggs will continue to rise as Singapores population continues to grow, coupled
with higher tourist arrivals in Singapore driven by the completion of the two (2) integrated resorts,
the yearly Formula One Singapore night race and other major events being held in Singapore.
The demand for our Designer Eggs is also expected to rise with the increasing affluence of the
population;

(iii) our main operating costs for our layer farm operations constitute feed raw materials such as corn,
soybean meal and spent grains. These feed raw materials are commodity-based and prices are
highly dependent on the supply and demand for such feed raw materials and are subject to
seasonal fluctuations. We had seen an increase in the price of corn and soybean meal since June

116
GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR GROUP

2010, reaching a 26-month high in November 2010. It was previously anticipated that corn and
soybean meal prices will continue to rise until the end of 2010. However, the prices fell after the
PRC indicated that it may impose price controls and raise interest rates to limit inflation in
November 2010. The market anticipates that, the PRC, being the biggest consumer of soybean,
may slow down the demand of soybean. We have secured supply contracts with our India
suppliers for feed raw materials up to December 2010 and as such the increase in corn and
soybean prices in November 2010 did not materially affect us. We expect any further significant
global increase in the prices of these feed raw materials to increase the price of eggs. As such,
we do not expect the margin of our business to erode significantly in a situation of uncontrollable
increase in prices of these raw materials;

(iv) the value of our biological assets is dependent on the number of chickens reared, the age of the
chickens at the financial reporting date and the residual value of our spent hens. The residual
value of our biological assets is expected to be maintained at the current level in FY2011.
Accordingly, we expect the value of our biological assets to increase as we increase the number
of chickens reared along with the upgrading of our farm facilities;

(v) we expect our operating expenses to increase significantly in FY2011 due mainly to (i) the
increase in staff costs as a result of higher headcount as we build up our finance and customer
service teams, (ii) the professional fees and expenses in relation to the Placement (iii) the Service
Agreements and (iv) increase in depreciation as we upgrade our farm facilities; and

(vi) our estimated total listing expenses (inclusive of the non-cash payment for the management fee
of approximately S$350,000 in the form of PPCF Shares payable to the Manager, Sponsor and
Sub-Placement Agent pursuant to the Management Agreement) is approximately S$1.51 million.
The net proceeds to be raised by our Company from the Placement, after deducting the estimated
cash expenses in relation to the Placement of approximately S$1.16 million is expected to be
approximately S$2.04 million. Out of the one-off listing expenses of approximately S$1.51 million,
approximately S$0.32 million may be capitalised to the share capital and the remaining balance
of approximately S$1.19 million may affect our Groups profitability for FY2011.

Save as disclosed above and 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

our products and services, or other known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that
are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net sales or revenue, profitability, liquidity or
capital resources, or that would cause the financial information disclosed in the Offer Document to be
not necessarily indicative of our future operating results or financial conditions.

GUIDELINES AND REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR ON-GOING AND FUTURE INTERESTED


PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Our Audit Committee will review and approve all Interested Person Transactions to ensure that they are
on normal commercial terms and on an arms length basis, that is, the transactions are transacted in
terms and prices not more favourable to the Interested Persons than if they were transacted with a third
party and are not prejudicial to the interests of our Group or our Shareholders in any way.

122
INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

To ensure that all future Interested Person Transactions are carried out on normal commercial terms
and will not be prejudicial to the interests of our Group or our minority Shareholders, the following
procedures will be implemented by our Group:

(a) when purchasing any products or engaging any services from an Interested Person, two (2) other
quotations from non-interested persons will be obtained for comparison to ensure that the
interests of our Group or our minority Shareholders are not disadvantaged. The purchase price or
fee for the products or services shall not be higher than the most competitive price or fee of the
two (2) other quotations from non-interested persons. In determining the most competitive price
or fee, all pertinent factors, including but not limited to quality, requirements, specifications,
delivery time and track record will be taken into consideration;

(b) when selling any products or supplying any services to an Interested Person, the price or fee and
terms of two (2) other successful transactions of a similar nature with non-interested persons will
be used as comparison to ensure that the interests of our Group or our minority Shareholders are
not disadvantaged. The price or fee for the supply of products or services shall not be lower than
the lowest price or fee of the two (2) other successful transactions with non-interested persons;

(c) when renting properties from or to an Interested Person, appropriate steps will be taken to ensure
that such rent is matched with 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 (where necessary). The rent payable shall be based on the
most competitive market rental rates of similar properties in terms of size and location, based on
the results of the relevant enquiries;

(d) where it is not possible to compare against the terms of other transactions with unrelated third
parties and given that the products and/or services may be purchased only from an Interested
Person, the Interested Person Transaction will be approved by our Groups Executive Chairman
and the Chief Financial Officer or an equivalent rank of the relevant company in our Group, who
has no interest in the transaction, in accordance with our Groups usual business practices and
policies. In determining the transaction price payable to the Interested Person for such products
and/or service, factors such as, but not limited to, quantity, requirements and specifications will be
taken into account; and

(e) in addition, we shall monitor all Interested Person Transactions entered into by us and categorise
these transactions as follows:

(i) a Category 1 Interested Person Transaction is one where the value thereof is equal to, or in
excess of, 3.0% of the NTA of our Group; and

(ii) a Category 2 Interested Person Transaction is one where the value thereof is below 3.0%
of the NTA of our Group.

All Category 1 Interested Person Transactions must be approved by our Audit Committee prior to entry
whereas Category 2 Interested Person Transactions need not be approved by our Audit Committee
prior to entry but shall be reviewed on a quarterly basis by our Audit Committee.

Our 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-quantitative factors. In the event that a member
of our Audit Committee is interested in any such transaction, he will abstain from participating in the
review and approval process in relation to that particular transaction.

123
INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Our Company shall prepare all the relevant information to assist the Audit Committee in its review and
will keep a register to record all Interested Person Transactions. The register shall also record the basis
for entry into the transactions, including the quotations and other evidence obtained to support such
basis.

Disclosure will be made in our Companys 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 Company.

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 our interests
and the interests of 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 our interests and the interests of our Shareholders, the Audit
Committee will adopt such new guidelines and review procedures for future Interested Person
Transactions as may be appropriate.

In addition, our Audit Committee will include the review of Interested Person Transactions as part of the
standard procedures while examining the adequacy of our internal controls. Our Board will also ensure
that all disclosure, approval and other requirements on Interested Person Transactions, including those
required by prevailing legislation, the Catalist Rules and accounting standards, are complied with. In

non-recurring exceptional items and minority interests) of our Group for the relevant financial year. The
amount of Incentive Bonus that each Executive will receive in each financial year will be determined as
follows:

Amount/Rate of Incentive Bonus


PBT Chew Chee Bin Chew Eng Hoe Tay Bee Gek Dorriz

Less than S$2 million


Equal to S$2 million 1.5% 1.5% 0.75%
More than S$2 million S$30,000 plus 1.875% S$30,000 plus 1.875% S$15,000 plus 0.9375%
but less than or equal to of the amount in excess of the amount in excess of the amount in excess
S$4 million of S$2 million of S$2 million of S$2 million
More than S$4 million S$67,500 plus 2% of the S$67,500 plus 2% of the S$33,750 plus 1%
amount in excess of amount in excess of of the amount in excess
S$4 million S$4 million of S$4 million

Where the employment of each of the Executives is not for a full financial year, his or her portion of the
Incentive Bonus will be pro-rated accordingly.

Save as disclosed above, there are no bonus or profit-sharing plans or any other profit-linked
agreements or arrangements between our Company and any of our Directors, Executive Officers or
employees. The Executives shall not be entitled to further Directors fees under the Service
Agreements.

In addition, our Company shall continue to provide Mr Chew Eng Hoe with the use of a car of such make
and model and capacity to be decided by the Directors to enable him to perform his duties and shall
also bear the premiums for insurance, road tax and the running expenses relating to the use of the car
by him. Our Company will also reimburse Mr Chew Chee Bin and Ms Tay Bee Gek Dorriz for all running
expenses (including petrol, lubrication, maintenance and repairs) of his car and will provide Ms Tay Bee
Gek Dorriz with a fixed monthly car allowance of S$1,500.

All travelling, hotel, mobile phone and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably and properly incurred
by the Executives in the reasonable and proper discharge of their duties on behalf of our Group will be

139
DIRECTORS, MANAGEMENT AND STAFF

borne by our Company, subject to limits from time to time set by the Directors. The Executives shall also
be entitled such medical and dental benefits of up to S$1,500 per annum.

Subject to the approvals of the Shareholders of our Company, the SGX-ST and other regulatory
authorities, where necessary, the Executives shall be eligible to participate in any other employee
scheme or plan implemented by our Company on such terms as may be determined by our
Remuneration Committee at its sole and absolute discretion.

Pursuant to their respective Service Agreements, each Executive shall not, at any time during the
period of his or her employment with our Company and for a period of two (2) years after the termination
of his or her employment with our Company, within Singapore and any other jurisdiction where our
Group operates directly or indirectly carry on or be engaged or interested in any capacity in any other
business, trade or occupation whatsoever, except, in a business, trade or occupation which does not
compete with the business of our Company or any member of our Group or as disclosed in this Offer
Document; either solely or jointly with or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation directly or indirectly
carry on or be engaged or interested in any business competing with the business of our Company or
any member of our Group; or solicit the customer of any person who is or has been at any time during
the period of his employment a customer of our Company for the purpose of offering to such customer
goods or services similar to or competing with those of the business of our Company or our Group; or
cause or permit any person or company directly or indirectly under his or her control or in which he has
any beneficial interests to do any of the foregoing acts or things.

Each of the Executives shall keep secret and shall not at any time (whether during the appointment or
after the termination of the appointment for whatever reason) use for his or her own or anothers
advantage, business methods or information which the Executive knew or ought reasonably to have
known to be confidential concerning the business or affairs of our Company or any member of our
Group so far as they shall have come to his or her knowledge during the appointment.

Had the Service Agreements been in effect for FY2010, the aggregate remuneration (including CPF
contributions, bonus and benefits-in-kind) payable to the Executives would have been approximately
S$713,000 instead of S$94,000 and the combined profit net of tax would be approximately S$2.54
million instead of S$3.05 million.

Save as disclosed above, there are no other existing or proposed service contracts entered or to be
entered into by our Directors or our Executive Officers with our Company or our subsidiaries. There are
no existing or proposed service agreements entered into or to be entered into by our Directors with our
Company or our subsidiaries which provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Our Group has also previously entered into various letters of employment with all our Executive
Directors and Executive Officers in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the general
employee/staff guidelines, practices and policies. Such letters typically provide for the salary payable
to our Executive Officers and Executive Directors, their working hours, medical benefits, grounds of
termination and certain restrictive covenants.

CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

In conjunction with our listing on Catalist, we have adopted a performance share plan known as the
Chews Performance Share Plan which was approved at an extraordinary general meeting of our
Shareholders held on 19 January 2011. A summary of the rules of the Performance Share Plan is set
out in section 3 below. Capitalised terms as used throughout this section, unless otherwise defined,
shall bear the meanings as defined in section 2 of Appendix C Rules of the Chews Performance
Share Plan of this Offer Document.

1. Objectives Of The Performance Share Plan

The objectives of the Performance Share Plan are to:

(a) foster a culture of ownership within our Group which aligns the interests of Group Executives
with the interests of Shareholders;

(b) motivate Participants to achieve key financial and operational goals of our Company and/or
their respective business units and encourage greater dedication and loyalty to our Group;
and

(c) make total employee remuneration sufficiently competitive to recruit new Participants and/or
retain existing Participants whose contributions are important to the long term growth and
profitability of our Group.

2. The Performance Share Plan

Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan will principally be performance-based,
incorporating an element of stretched targets for senior executives and significantly stretched
targets for key senior management, aimed at delivering long-term Shareholder value. Examples
of performance targets to be set include targets based on criteria such as sales growth, EPS and
return on investment.

The Performance Share Plan uses methods fairly common among major local and multinational
companies to incentivise and motivate senior executives and key senior management to achieve
pre-determined targets, which we believe will create and enhance economic value for
Shareholders. Our Company believes that the Performance Share Plan will be an effective tool in
motivating senior executives and key senior management to work towards stretched targets.

The Performance Share Plan contemplates the award of fully-paid Shares, when and after
pre-determined performance or service conditions are accomplished.

A Participants Award under the Performance Share Plan will be determined at the sole discretion
of the Committee. In considering the grant of an Award to a Participant, the Committee may take
into account, amongst others, the Participants capability, creativity, entrepreneurship,
innovativeness, scope of responsibility and skill set.

Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan will be performance-based, with performance
targets to be set over a designated performance period. Performance targets set are intended to
be premised on medium-term corporate objectives covering market competitiveness, quality of
returns, business growth and productivity growth.

The performance targets will be stretched targets aimed at sustaining long-term growth. These
targets will be tied in with the Boards as well as the Executive Chairmans and Managing
Directors corporate key performance indicators.

141
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

Under the Performance Share Plan, Participants are encouraged to continue serving our Group
beyond the deadline for the achievement of the pre-determined performance targets. The
Committee has the discretion to impose a further vesting period after the performance period to
encourage the Participants to continue serving our Group.

3. Summary Of Rules Of The Performance Share Plan

3.1 Eligibility

Full-time Group Executives who have attained the age of 21 years as of the Award Date and hold
such rank as may be designated by the Committee from time to time are eligible to participate in

Share Plan. The Participant must also not be an undischarged bankrupt and must not have
entered into a composition with his creditors.

Persons who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of a Controlling Shareholder who meet
the criteria above are also eligible to participate in the Performance Share Plan provided that the

Performance Share Plan 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 subject to the following:

(a) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards granted to Controlling Shareholders
or Associates of Controlling Shareholders under the Performance Share Plan shall not
exceed 25% of the aggregate number of Shares (comprised in Awards) which may be
granted under the Performance Share Plan; and

(b) the number of Shares available to each Controlling Shareholder or Associate of a Controlling
Shareholder shall not exceed 10% of the Shares available under the Performance Share

that certain prescribed performance targets (if any) are met and upon expiry of the prescribed
performance period.

Shares which are issued and allotted or transferred to a Participant pursuant to the grant of an
Award shall not be transferred, charged, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, in whole or
in part, during a specified period (as prescribed by the Committee in the Award letter), except to
the extent approved by the Committee.

The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, make a Release of an Award, wholly or partly, in
the form of cash rather than Shares.

3.3 Participants

resolution passed for the winding-up of our Company (other than as provided in paragraph
(c) above or for reconstruction or amalgamation).

Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), an Award
then held by a Participant shall, subject as provided in the Rules of the Performance Share
Plan and to the extent not yet Released, immediately lapse without any claim whatsoever
against our Company.

Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in paragraphs (d), (e), (f) and (g) above,
the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, preserve all or any part of any Award and
decide either to Vest some or all of the Shares which are the subject of the Award or to
preserve all or part of any Award until the end of the relevant Performance Period. In
exercising its discretion, the Committee will have regard to all circumstances on a
case-by-case basis, including (but not limited to) the contributions made by that Participant
and, in the case of performance-related Awards, the extent to which the applicable
Performance Conditions have been satisfied.

Upon the occurrence of the event specified in paragraph (h) above, the Committee will
consider, at its discretion, whether or not to Release any Award, and will take into account
all circumstances on a case-by-case basis, including (but not limited to) the contributions
made by that Participant. If the Committee decides to Release any Award, then in
determining the number of Shares to be vested in respect of such Award, the Committee will
have regard to the proportion of the Performance Period which has lapsed and the extent to
which the applicable Performance Conditions have been satisfied.

144
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

3.7 Size and Duration of the Performance Share Plan

The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards granted
under the Performance Share Plan, when added to (i) the number of Shares issued and issuable
and/or transferred or transferable in respect of all Awards granted thereunder; and (ii) all Shares
issued and issuable and/or transferred or transferable in respect of all options granted or awards
granted under any other share incentive schemes or share plans adopted by the Company for the
time being in force, including the Options granted under the Share Option Scheme, shall not
exceed 15% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) of our Company on the day
preceding the relevant date of the Award.

In addition, the number of Shares available to Controlling Shareholders or Associates of a


Controlling Shareholder are subject to the following:

(a) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards granted to Controlling Shareholders
or Associates of Controlling Shareholders under the Performance Share Plan shall not
exceed 25% of the aggregate number of Shares (comprised in Awards) which may be
granted under the Performance Share Plan; and

(b) the number of Shares available to each Controlling Shareholder or Associate of a Controlling
Shareholder shall not exceed 10% of the Shares available under the Performance Share
Plan.

The Performance Share Plan shall continue in force at the discretion of the 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 general meeting, provided always that the Performance Share
Plan may continue beyond the above stipulated period with the approval of Shareholders 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.

We have made an application to the SGX-ST for permission to deal in and for quotation of new
Shares which may be issued upon the grant of Awards under the Performance Share Plan. The
approval of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of our Group, our Shares
or the Shares which are the subject of the Awards.

3.8 Operation of the Performance Share Plan

Subject to the prevailing legislation, our Company may deliver Shares to Participants upon
Vesting of their Awards by way of an issue of new Shares deemed to be fully paid upon their
issuance and allotment and/or by way of the transfer of treasury shares (by way of purchasing
existing Shares from the market for delivery to Participants pursuant to the Act).

In determining whether to issue new Shares to Participants or to purchase existing Shares upon
vesting of their Awards, our Company will take into account factors such as (but not limited to) the
number of Shares to be delivered, the prevailing market price of the Shares and the cost to our
Company of either issuing new Shares or purchasing existing Shares.

Additionally, our Company has the flexibility, and if circumstances require, to approve the Release
of an Award, wholly or partly, in the form of cash rather than Shares. In determining whether to
Release an Award, wholly or partly, in the form of cash rather than Shares, our Company will take
into account factors such as (but not limited to) the cost to the Company of Releasing an Award,
wholly or partly, in the form of cash rather than Shares.

145
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

The financial effects of the above methods are discussed in paragraph 7 below.

New Shares issued and allotted, and existing shares procured by the Company for transfer, on the
Release of an Award shall be eligible 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 relevant date of issue or, as the case may be, delivery, and shall in all other respects
rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue.

The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether the Performance Condition has
been satisfied (whether fully or partially) or exceeded; and in making any such determination, the
Committee shall have the right to make reference to the audited results of our Company or our
Group to take into account such factors as the Committee may determine to be relevant, such as
changes in accounting methods, taxes and extraordinary events, and further, the right to amend
the performance target(s) if the Committee decides that a changed performance target would be
a fairer measure of performance.

4. Adjustments And Alterations Under The Performance Share Plan

The following describes the adjustment events under, and provisions relating to alterations of, the
Performance Share Plan.

4.1 Adjustment Events

If a variation in the issued ordinary share capital of our Company (whether by way of a
capitalisation of profits or reserves or rights issue or reduction) 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 in such manner as the Committee may determine to be appropriate, provided
that no adjustment shall be made if as a result, the Participant receives a benefit that a
Shareholder does not receive.

The issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition or a private placement of securities or


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 shall not normally be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment, unless the
Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate.

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.

4.2 Modifications or Alterations to the Performance Share Plan

The Performance Share Plan may be modified and/or altered from time to time by a resolution of
the Committee subject to the prior approval of our Shareholders and the SGX-ST and such other
regulatory authorities as may be necessary.

146
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

However, no modification or alteration shall adversely affect the rights attached to Awards granted
prior to such modification or alteration except with the written consent of such number of
Participants under the Performance Share Plan who, if their Awards were Released to them,
would thereby become entitled to not less than three quarters of all the Shares which would fall
to be Vested upon Release of all outstanding Awards under the Performance Share Plan.

No alteration shall be made to particular rules of any of the Performance Share Plan to the
advantage of the holders of the Awards, as the case may be, except with the prior approval of
Shareholders in general meeting.

5. Disclosures in Annual Reports

Our Company will make such disclosures in its annual report for so long as the Performance
Share Plan continues in operation as from time to time required by the Listing Manual including

(i) Directors of our Company;

(ii) Controlling Shareholders and their Associates; and

147
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

(hh) the number of existing Shares transferred to the Participant since the commencement

(d) such other information as may be required by the Listing Manual or the Act.

If any of the above is not applicable, an appropriate negative statement shall be included therein.

6. Role and Composition of the Committee

The Committee responsible for the administration of the Performance Share Plan will comprise
such Directors duly authorised and appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the
Performance Share Plan, provided that no member of the Committee shall participate in any
deliberation or decision in respect of Awards granted or to be granted to him.

7. Financial Effects of the Performance Share Plan

Financial Reporting Standard 102, Share-based payment (FRS 102) relating to share-based
payment takes effect for all listed companies beginning 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 the income statement 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 the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to the reserve
account. After the Vesting Date, no adjustment to the charge to the income statement 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 the profit and loss account would be the same whether the Company
settles the Awards by issuing new Shares or by purchasing existing Shares. The amount of the
charge to the income statement 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

148
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

being met is taken into account in estimating the fair value of the Award granted at the grant date,
and no adjustments to the amounts charged to the income statement 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 the income statement 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 the income statement
if the Awards do not ultimately Vest.

In the event that the Participants receive cash, our Company shall measure the fair value of the
liability at 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 the income statement.

The following sets out the financial effects of the Performance Share Plan.

7.1 Share capital

The Performance Share Plan will result in an increase in our Companys issued Shares where
new Shares are issued to Participants. The number of new Shares issued will depend on,
amongst others, the size of the Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan. In any case,
the Performance Share Plan provides that the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued
or transferred pursuant to Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan, when added to (i)
the number of Shares issued and issuable and/or transferred or transferable in respect of all
Awards granted thereunder; and (ii) all Shares issued and issuable and/or transferred or
transferable in respect of all options granted or awards granted under any other share incentive
schemes or share plans adopted by the Company for the time being in force, including the Options
granted under the Share Option Scheme, shall not exceed 15% of the issued share capital
(excluding treasury shares) of our Company on the day preceding the relevant date of the Award.

If instead of issuing new Shares to Participants, treasury shares are transferred to Participants
and our Company pays the equivalent cash value, the Performance Share Plan would have no
impact on our Companys total number of issued Shares.

7.2 NTA

As described in paragraph 7.3 below on EPS, the Performance Share Plan is likely to result in a
charge to our Companys income statement 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 the FRS 102.
When 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.

7.3 EPS

The Performance Share Plan is likely to result in a charge to earnings over the period from the
grant date to the Vesting Date, computed in accordance with the FRS 102.

149
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

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.

7.4 Dilutive Impact

It is expected that the dilutive impact of the Performance Share Plan on the NTA per Share and
EPS will not be significant.

8. Participation of Group Executive Directors and Group Executives

The extension of the Performance Share Plan to Group Executive Directors and Group
Executives allows us to have a fair and equitable system to reward Group Executive Directors and
Group Executives who have made and who continue to make significant contributions to the
long-term growth of our Group and to inculcate in Participants a stronger and more lasting sense
of identification with our Group.

We believe that the Performance Share Plan will also enable us to attract, retain and provide
incentives to its Participants to optimise their standards of performance as well as encourage
greater dedication and loyalty by enabling our Company to give recognition to past contributions
and services as well as motivating Participants generally to contribute towards the long-term
growth of our Group.

9. Participation of Group Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors) of our


Company

The extension of the Performance Share Plan to the Group Non-Executive Directors (including
Independent Directors) allows the Group to have a fair and equitable system that recognises and
benefits not only persons who are in the direct employment of our Company but also persons who
are not employed but nevertheless work closely with our Company and/or are in the position to
contribute their experience, knowledge and expertise to the development and success of our
Company.

Although the Group Non-Executive Directors are not involved in the day-to-day running of our
Company, they are nonetheless in a position to provide valuable support, input and business
contacts and to contribute their experience, knowledge and expertise, and/or to provide our
Company and our Group with strategic business alliances and opportunities. The Group
Non-Executive Directors are individuals from various disciplines with different working
experiences and backgrounds which we may tap for assistance in furthering our business
objectives and shaping our business strategies. It is desirable that the Group Non-Executive
Directors of our Company be allowed to participate in our Performance Share Plan to give
recognition to their services and contributions.

For the purpose of assessing the contributions of the Group Non-Executive Directors, the
Committee will propose a performance framework comprising mainly non-financial performance
measurement criteria such as the extent of involvement and responsibilities shouldered by the
Group Non-Executive Directors. In addition, the Committee will also consider the scope of advice
given, the number of contacts and size of deals which the Company is able to procure from the
contacts and recommendations of the Group Non-Executive Directors.

150
CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

The 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.

We do not expect that the grant of Awards to our Group Non-executive Directors, some of whom
are also members of our Audit Committee, will compromise their independence, as the total
number of Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted to our Group Non-Executive Directors will
not be significant.

10. Participation of Controlling Shareholders or Associates of Controlling Shareholders

The purpose of the participation of Controlling Shareholders and Associates of Controlling


Shareholders in the Performance Share Plan is to provide an opportunity for eligible Group
Executives (including Group Executive Directors) and Group Non-Executive Directors who are
Controlling Shareholders or Associates of Controlling Shareholders who have contributed or
continue to contribute significantly to the growth and performance of the Group to participate in
the equity of the Company.

We acknowledge that the services and contributions of the 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 the eligible Directors and
employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders
allows our Company to have a fair and equitable system for rewarding the eligible Directors and
employees who have made and continue to make important contributions to the long-term growth
of our Group notwithstanding that they are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our
Controlling Shareholders.

Although the Controlling Shareholders and/or their Associates may already have shareholding
interests in the Company, including them in the Performance Share Plan will ensure that they are
equally entitled with other eligible Group Executives (including Group Executive Directors) and
Group Non-Executive Directors who are not Controlling Shareholders or Associates of 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 Shareholder.

The specific approval of our independent Shareholders is required for the participation of and the
grant of Awards to 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/or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders, the number of Shares and terms
of the Awards to be granted to them 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 Controlling Shareholders and Associates of Controlling Shareholders.

As at the date of this Offer Document, our Controlling Shareholder is Fenghe Investment and we
do not have any Controlling Shareholders who are individuals.

151
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

In conjunction with our listing on Catalist, we have adopted a share option scheme known as the
Chews Employee Share Option Scheme which was approved at an extraordinary general meeting of
our Shareholders held on 19 January 2011. The rules of our Share Option Scheme are set out in
Appendix D Rules of the Chews Employee Share Option Scheme of this Offer Document.
Capitalised terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, bear the same meanings as defined in section
2 of Appendix D Rules of the Chews Employee Share Option Scheme of this Offer Document.

1. Objectives of the Share Option Scheme

The purpose of our Share Option Scheme is to provide an opportunity for Directors (including
Non-Executive Directors and Independent Directors) and Employees of our Group to participate
in the equity of our Company so as to motivate them to greater dedication, loyalty and higher
standards of performance, and to give recognition to those who have contributed significantly to
the growth and performance of our Company and/or our Group. Our Company believes that aside
from the Chews Performance Share Plan, an additional share-based compensation scheme will
strengthen the overall effectiveness of its performance-based compensation schemes in
rewarding our Employees and Directors and incentivising them to achieve higher performance
targets and strive for the long-term prosperity of our Company and/or our Group.

Our Share Option Scheme is proposed on the basis that it is important to recognise the fact that
the services of our Employees and Directors are important to the success and continued
well-being of our Group. The implementation of our Share Option Scheme will enable our
Company to give our Employees and Directors a direct interest in our Company, and will also help
to achieve the following positive objectives:

(i) the motivation of Participants to optimise performance standards and efficiency and to
maintain a high level of contribution;

(ii) the retention of key Employees whose contributions are important to the long term growth
and prosperity of our Group;

(iii) the attainment of harmonious employer/employee relations;

(iv) to align the interest of Employees and other Participants with the interests of the
Shareholders; and

(v) the development of a participatory style of management which promotes greater


commitment and dedication amongst the Employees and instils loyalty and a stronger sense
of identification with the long term prosperity of our Group.

2. Summary of the Rules of the Share Option Scheme

2.1 Eligibility

Full-time Employees of our Group, Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors (including
Independent Directors) who have attained the age of 21 years on or before the Offering Date are
eligible to participate in the Share Option Scheme. The Participant must also not be an
undischarged bankrupt and must not have entered into a composition with his creditors.

Persons who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of Controlling Shareholders who meet
the criteria above are also eligible to participate in the Share Option Scheme provided that the
participation of and the actual number of Shares to be issued to them and the terms of any Option

152
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

to be granted to each Controlling Shareholder or Associate of Shareholder shall be approved by


independent Shareholders in separate resolutions for each such person subject to the following:

(a) the aggregate number of Shares which may be offered by way of grant of Options to
Participants who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of Controlling Shareholders
under the Share Option Scheme shall not exceed 25% of the total number of Shares
available under this Share Option Scheme; and

(b) the number of Shares available to each Controlling Shareholder or Associate of a Controlling
Shareholder shall not exceed 10% of the Shares available under the Share Option Scheme.

2.2 Limitations on the Share Option Scheme

Size

The aggregate number of Shares which the Committee may grant Options on any date, when
added to (i) the number of Shares issued and issuable and/or transferred or transferable in
respect of all Options granted under this Share Option Scheme; and (ii) all Shares issued and
issuable and/or transferred or transferable in respect of all options granted or awards granted
under any other share incentive schemes or share plans adopted by our Company for the time
being in force, including the Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan, shall not exceed
15% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) of our Company on the date
preceding the grant of an Option.

Our 15% Share Option Scheme size (which shall take into consideration any Shares proposed to
be awarded pursuant to the Chews Performance Share Plan) is intended to accommodate the
potential pool of participants arising from our base of eligible participants. We also hope that with
the significant portion of our issued share capital set aside for the Share Option Scheme, our
Employees and Directors will recognise that we are making a good effort to reward them for their
invaluable contributions to our Company by allowing them greater opportunities to participate in
our equity.

We are of the view that the size of the Share Option Scheme is reasonable, taking into account
the share capital base of our Company, the contributions by our Employees and Directors and the
potential number of Employees as our business expands. Implementing the Share Option
Scheme with the maximum amount of Shares not exceeding 15% (including the Shares available
under the Chews Performance Share Plan) of the total issued share capital of our Company will
enable us to maintain flexibility and remain competitive in the industry.

2.3 Entitlement

Subject to the size of the Share Option Scheme as described above and any requirements of the
SGX-ST, the aggregate number of Shares in respect of which Options may be offered for
subscription shall be determined at the discretion of our Committee which will take into
consideration criteria such as rank, past performance, years of service and potential for future
development of the Participant.

2.4 Grant of Options

The Committee may grant Options at any time during the period when the Share Option Scheme
is in force. However, in the event that an announcement on any matter of an exceptional nature

153
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

involving unpublished price sensitive information is imminent, the Committee may only grant
Options on or after the second Market Day from the date on which the announcement is released.

2.5 Acceptance of Options

Options granted to our Directors and Employees shall not be transferred, charged, assigned,
pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered in whole or in part save as provided for in the
rules of the Share Option Scheme. All offers made to our Directors and Employees, if not
accepted by the closing date (which shall not be less than 15 days and not more than 30 days
from the date of the offer) shall automatically lapse and shall be null and void and of no effect.
Upon acceptance of the offer, the Participant must pay to us a consideration of S$1.00.

2.6 Exercise of Options

Except as provided in the rules of the Share Option Scheme, each Option shall be exercisable,
in whole or in part, as follows:

(i) in the case of a Market Price Option, during the period commencing after the first
anniversary of the Offering Date and expiring on the tenth anniversary of such Offering Date,
provided that in the case of a Market Price Option which is granted to a Participant not
holding a salaried office or employment in our Group, such Option Period shall expire on the
fifth anniversary of such Offering Date; and

(ii) in the case of an Incentive Option, during the period commencing after the second
anniversary of the Offering Date and expiring on the tenth anniversary off such Offering
Date, provided that in the case of an Incentive Option which is granted to a Participant not
holding a salaried office or employment in our Group, such Option Period shall expire on the
fifth anniversary of the Offering Date.

In the event of an Option being exercised in part only, the balance of the Option not thereby
exercised shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with the Share Option Scheme until such
time as it shall lapse in accordance with the rules of the Share Option Scheme.

2.7 Exercise Price

Subject to any adjustment required pursuant to the rules of the Share Option Scheme, the
Exercise Price for each Share in respect of which a Market Price Option is exercisable shall be
determined by the Committee, in their absolute discretion, and fixed by the Committee at a price
(the Market Price) equal to the average of the last dealt prices for a Share, as determined by
reference to the daily official list or other publication published by the SGX-ST for the five (5)
consecutive Market Days immediately preceding the Offering Date of that Option, rounded up to
the nearest whole cent in the event of fractional prices provided in the case of a Market Price
Option that is proposed to be granted to a Controlling Shareholder or an Associate of a Controlling
Shareholder, the Exercise Price for each Share shall be equal to the average of the last dealt
process for a Share, as determined by reference to the daily official list published by the SGX-ST,
for the five (5) Market Days immediately preceding the latest practicable date prior to the date of
any circular, letter or notice to the Shareholders proposing to seek their approval of the grant of
such Options to such Controlling Shareholder or Associate of a Controlling Shareholder.

Subject to any adjustment required pursuant to the rules of the Share Option Scheme, the
Committee may also grant Incentive Options to the Participants at up to 20% discount to the

154
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Market Price provided that the maximum discount shall not exceed 20% of the Market Price (or
such other percentage or amount as may be prescribed or permitted for the time being by the
SGX-ST); and the prior approval of the shareholders of our Company in general meeting shall
have been obtained for the making of offers and grants of Options under this Share Option
Scheme at a discount not exceeding the maximum discount as aforesaid.

Incentive Options will only be granted to deserving executives and Employees whose
performance has been consistently good and/or whose future contributions to our Group will be
invaluable. The ability to offer Incentive Options at exercise prices up to 20% discount to the
Market Price 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 returns of our Group to a level that benefits all Shareholders when these are eventually
reflected through an appreciation of our Share price. Incentive Options would be perceived in a
more positive light by the Participants, inspiring them to work hard and produce results in order
to be granted Incentive Options as only Employees who have made outstanding contributions to
the success and development of our Group will be offered Incentive Options.

In determining which Participant should be granted Incentive Options and the quantum of the
discount, the Committee shall be at liberty to take into consideration such criteria as they deem
fit, including factors such as (i) the performance of our Company and our Group, taking into
account financial considerations such as our Groups sales/revenue, profit and performance
targets, (ii) the individual performance of the Participant, his effectiveness and contribution to the
success and development of our Group and (iii) the potential for future contribution by the
Participant to the success and development of our Group.

In addition, it is envisaged that we may consider granting Incentive Options at up to 20% discount
to the Market Price under circumstances including, but not limited to, the following:

(i) to enable our Group to offer competitive remuneration packages in the event that the
practice of granting options with exercise prices that have a discount element becomes a
general market norm. As share options become more significant components of executive
remuneration packages, a discretion to grant options with discounted prices will provide our
Group with a means to maintain the competitiveness of our Groups compensation strategy;
and/or

(ii) where our Group needs to provide more compelling motivation for specific business units to
improve their performance, grants of share options with discounted exercise prices will help
to align the interest of Employees to those of Shareholders by encouraging them to focus
more on profitability and returns of our Group above a certain level that will benefit all
Shareholders when these are eventually reflected through an appreciation of our Share
price, as such options granted at a discount would be perceived more positively by the
Employees who receive such options.

The Committee will determine on a case-by-case basis whether a discount will be given, and the
quantum of the discount, taking into consideration the objective that is desired to be achieved by
our Group and the prevailing market conditions. As the actual discount given will depend on the
relevant circumstances, the extent of the discount may vary from one case to another, subject to
a maximum discount of 20% of the Market Price of an Option Share, as described above.

155
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

2.8 Lapse of Options

(i) An Option shall, to the extent that it is unexercised, lapse:

(a) upon the bankruptcy of the Participant or the happening of any other event which
results in his being deprived of the legal or beneficial ownership of such Option; or

(b) in the event of misconduct on the part of the Participant, as determined by the
Committee in its absolute discretion; or

(c) subject to paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below, upon the Participant ceasing to be in full-time
employment of our Group, for any reason whatsoever; or

(d) in the event that the Committee shall, at its sole and absolute discretion, deem it
appropriate that such Option granted to a Participant shall so lapse on the grounds that
any of the objectives of the Share Option Scheme have not been met.

(ii) Where a Participant who is an Executive Director ceases to be an Employee of our Group
due to a change in control of the Board, he shall, be entitled to exercise in full all unexercised
Options from the last date of employment with our Group until the end of the relevant Option
Period.

(iii) If a Participant dies and at the date of his death holds any unexercised Option, such Option
may, at the absolute discretion of the Committee, be fully exercisable by the duly appointed
legal personal representatives of the Participant from the date of his death to the end of the
relevant Option Period and upon the expiry of such period, the Option shall immediately
lapse and become null and void.

2.9 Rights of Shares comprised in the Options

New Shares issued and allotted or existing Shares transferred upon the exercise of the Option
shall be subject to all provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company
and shall rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing issued Shares in the capital of our
Company except for any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions, the record date of
which is prior to the date of which such an Option is exercised. For this purpose, record date
means the date as at the close of business on which Shareholders must be registered in order to
participate in any dividend, rights, allotments or other distributions, as the case may be.

2.10 Duration of the Share Option Scheme

The Share Option Scheme shall continue in operation for a maximum duration of ten (10) years
commencing from the date on which the Share Option Scheme was adopted by our Company in
general meeting. However, the Share Option Scheme may continue beyond the period above with
the approval of the Shareholders in general meeting by way of ordinary resolution and the relevant
authorities.

The Share Option Scheme may also be terminated at any time by the Committee or by resolution
of our Shareholders at a general meeting subject to all other relevant approvals which may be
required and if the Share Option Scheme is so terminated, no further Options shall be offered by
our Company thereunder.

156
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

2.11 Alteration of Capital

If a variation in the issued ordinary share capital of our Company (whether by way of rights issue
or capitalisation of profits or reserves, reduction of capital, or subdivision, consolidation or
distribution, or issues for cash or for shares or otherwise than for cash or otherwise howsoever)
should take place, then:

(a) the Exercise Price in respect of the Shares comprised in the Option to the extent
unexercised; and/or

(b) the class and/or number of Shares comprised in the Option to the extent unexercised and
the rights attached thereto; and/or

(c) the class and/or number of Shares in respect of which additional Options may be granted to
Participants,

shall, at the option of the Committee, be adjusted in such manner as it may determine to be
appropriate provided that, except in relation to the capitalisation issue, a written confirmation is
given by the Auditors (acting only as experts and not as arbitrators) that such adjustment is fair
and reasonable, and that no adjustment shall be made if as a result, the Participant receives a
benefit that a Shareholder does not receive.

The issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition of any assets or a private placement of
securities or 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 Catalist during the period
when a share purchase mandate granted by Shareholders (including any renewal of such
mandate) is in force shall not normally be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment,
unless the Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate.

Upon any such adjustment being made, the Company shall notify the Participant in writing
informing him of the subscription price thereafter to be in effect and the number of Shares
thereafter to be issued on the exercise of the Option. Any adjustment shall take effect upon such
written notification being given.

3. Modifications or alterations to the Share Option Scheme

The Share Option Scheme may be modified and/or altered from time to time by a resolution of our
Committee, subject to the prior approval of SGX-ST and such other regulatory authorities as may
be necessary. However, no modification or alteration shall adversely affect the rights attached to
Options granted except with the written consent of Participants who are entitled to not less than
three quarters of all the Shares which would be issued or transferred upon exercise in full of all
outstanding Options held by Participants.

No alteration shall be made to the particular rules of the Share Option Scheme to the advantage
of the holders of the Options, except with the prior approval of Shareholders in a general meeting.

4. Administration

The Share Option Scheme will be administered by the Committee in its absolute discretion with
such powers and duties as are conferred on it by the Board provided that no member of the
Committee shall participate in any deliberation or decision in respect of Options granted or to be
granted to him.

157
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

5. Cost of Options granted under the Share Option Scheme to our Group

Any Options granted under the Share Option Scheme 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
Group. The amounts of such costs may be more significant in the case of Incentive Options,
where such Options are granted with exercise prices set at a discount to the prevailing market
price of the Shares. The cost to our Group of granting Options under the Share Option Scheme
is as follows:

(i) the exercise of an Option at the Exercise Price would translate into a reduction of the
proceeds from the exercise of such Option, as compared to the proceeds that our Group
would have received from such exercise had the exercise been made at the prevailing
market price of the Shares. Such reduction of the exercise proceeds would represent the
monetary cost to our Group;

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

(iii) with effect from financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2005, the FRS 102 will require
listed companies to measure equity-settled share-based payments at fair value at the date
of grant, which is then expensed off on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

We have made an application to the SGX-ST for permission to deal in and for quotation of the
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Options to be granted under the Share
Option Scheme. The approval of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of
our Group, our Shares or the Option Shares.

6. Disclosures in Annual Report

Our Company will make such disclosures in its annual report for so long as the Share Option
Scheme continues in operation as from time to time required by the Listing Manual including the
following (where applicable):

(i) the names of the members of the Committee;

(ii) in respect of the following Participants:

(a) Directors of our Company;

(b) Controlling Shareholders and their Associates; and

(c) Participants (other than those in paragraphs (a) and (b) above) who have received 5%
or more of the total number of Options available under the Share Option Scheme;

the following information:

(aa) the name of the Participant;

(bb) the number of Options granted during the financial year under review;

158
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(cc) the aggregate number of Options granted since the commencement of the Share
Option Scheme up to the end of the Financial Year under review;

(dd) the aggregate number of Options exercised since the commencement of the Share
Option Scheme up to the end of the Financial Year under review; and

(ee) the aggregate number of Options outstanding as at the end of the Financial Year under
review;

(iii) the number and proportion of Options granted at a discount during the Financial Year under
review in respect of every 10% range, up to the maximum quantum of discount granted; and

(iv) such other information as may be required by the Listing Manual or the Act.

An appropriate negative statement will be included in the annual report to the shareholders in the
event the disclosure of any of the abovementioned information is not applicable.

7. Participation of Executive Directors and Employees of our Group

The extension of the Share Option Scheme to Executive Directors and Employees of our Group
allows us to have a fair and equitable system to reward Executive Directors and Employees who
have made and who continue to make significant contributions to the long-term growth of our
Group.

We believe that the Share Option Scheme will also enable us to attract, retain and provide
incentives to its Participants to optimise their standards of performance as well as encourage
greater dedication and loyalty by enabling our Company to give recognition to past contributions
and services as well as motivating Participants generally to contribute towards the long-term
growth of our Group.

8. Participation of Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors) of our


Company

Our Company has some flexibility in formulating a share option scheme that recognises and
benefits not only persons who are in the direct employment of our Company but also persons who
are not employed but nevertheless work closely with our Company and/or are in the position to
contribute their experience, knowledge and expertise to the development and success of our
Company.

Although the Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors) of our Company are not
involved in the day-to-day running of our Company, they also play an invaluable role in the future
success of our Group. The Non-Executive Directors of our Company are in a position to provide
valuable support, input and business contacts and to contribute their experience, knowledge and
expertise, and/or to provide our Company and our Group with strategic business alliances and
opportunities. The Non-Executive Directors are individuals from various disciplines with different
working experiences and backgrounds which we may tap for assistance in furthering our business
objectives and shaping our business strategies. It is desirable that the Non-Executive Directors of
our Company be allowed to participate in the Share Option Scheme to give recognition to their
services and contributions and to further align their interests with that of our Group.

It is anticipated that remuneration to the Non-Executive Directors of our Company will be by way
of directors fees (for their services as directors of a company), which is wholly in the form of cash.

159
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

No directors fees have been paid to any of the Non-Executive Directors of our Company. None
of the Non-Executive Directors of our Company is entitled to any profit sharing or other benefits.
Through the Share Option Scheme, our Company may acknowledge and give recognition to the
efforts, achievements and contributions made by such persons in a combination of cash and
Options. Although the level of their remuneration is in accordance with the level of remuneration
paid to non-executive directors of other companies, by allowing the Non-Executive Directors of
our Company to participate in the Share Option Scheme, our Company will have the flexibility to
consider, in the future, compensating the Non-Executive Directors of our Company for their
services in cash and in Options.

We intend to extend the Share Option Scheme to the Non-Executive Directors of our Company
as a token of our appreciation for their contribution, even though we recognise that the services
of such Directors cannot be measured in the same way as our full-time Employees. We envisage
that the bulk of the Options will be given to our Employees. Non-Executive Directors of our
Company will be granted the Options at the discretion of the Committee.

The Committee, when deciding on the selection of the Non-Executive Directors of our Company
to participate in the Share Option Scheme and the number of Shares to be comprised in the
Options to be offered, will take into consideration the nature and extent of their input, assistance
and expertise rendered to the committees on which they sit and the impact thereof on the growth,
success and development of our Company and our Group, as well as their involvement and
commitment to the committees on which they sit. The Committee may, where it considers
relevant, take into account other factors such as the economic conditions and our Companys
performance. The Non-Executive Directors of our Company will abstain from making any
recommendation as a Director or abstain from voting as a member of our Company when the
grant of Options to him or her is being considered. We will ensure that the number of Options
granted to the Non-Executive Directors of our Company will be such that any conflict of interests
that may potentially arise is kept minimal and that the independence of our Non-Executive
Directors of our Company is not compromised.

We do not expect that the grant of Options to our Non-Executive Directors, who are also members
of our Audit Committee, will compromise their independence, as the total number of Options
granted to our Non-Executive Directors will not be significant.

The Committee may in future grant Options to other Non-Executive Directors of our Company who
may be appointed from time to time. The ability to do so will ensure that we will be able to continue
to attract onto our boards persons of significant ability and aptitude.

9. Participation of Controlling Shareholders or Associates of Controlling Shareholders

The purpose for the participation of Employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates
of Controlling Shareholders in the Share Option Scheme is to provide an opportunity for eligible
Directors and Employees who have contributed or continue to contribute significantly to the
growth and performance of our Group to participate in the equity of our Company.

We acknowledge that the services and contributions of the 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 Share Option Scheme to the eligible Directors and
Employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders
allows our Company to have a fair and equitable system for rewarding the eligible Directors and

160
CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Employees who have made and continue to make important contributions to the long-term growth
of our Group notwithstanding that they are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our
Controlling Shareholders.

Although Participants who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling


Shareholders may already have shareholding interests in our Company, the extension of the
Share Option Scheme to encompass them ensures that they are equally entitled, together with
other eligible Directors and 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 Share Option Scheme solely by reason that he/she is a
Controlling Shareholder or an Associate of our Controlling Shareholder(s).

The specific approval of our independent Shareholders is required for the participation of and the
grant of Options to 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 Controlling Shareholders or
Associates of our Controlling Shareholders, the number of Shares comprised in, and terms
(including the exercise price) of, the Options to be granted to Controlling Shareholders or
Associates of our Controlling Shareholders shall be provided. Accordingly, we are of the view that
there are sufficient safeguards against any abuse of the Share Option Scheme resulting from the
participation of eligible Directors and Employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates
of our Controlling Shareholders.

As at the date of this Offer Document, our Controlling Shareholder is Fenghe Investment and we
do not have any Controlling Shareholders who are individuals.

161
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, and will endeavour to comply with the recommendations set out in
the Code of Corporate Governance 2005. As a result, our Company has implemented the corporate
governance model as set out below:

Board of Directors

Audit Remuneration Nominating


Committee Committee Committee

Chairman Chairman Chairman


Yuen Sou Wai Chong Chin Fan Dr Choo Boon Seng

Members Members Members


Chong Chin Fan Dr Choo Boon Seng Yuen Sou Wai
Dr Choo Boon Seng Yuen Sou Wai Chong Chin Fan
Chew Chee Keong Chew Eng Hoe
Chew Chee Bin

Based on the above, our Directors are of the view that there are sufficient safeguards and checks to
ensure that the process of decision-making by our Board is independent and based on collective
decision-making without our Executive Chairman and Managing Director being able to exercise
considerable power or influence.

Board of Directors

Our Articles of Association provide that our Board will consist of not less than one (1) Director.

We currently have six (6) Directors on our Board, comprising two (2) Executive Directors, one (1)
Non-Executive Director and three (3) Independent Directors.

None of our Directors are appointed for any fixed term. Each Director shall retire from office at least
once every three (3) years. Directors who retire are eligible to stand for re-election.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee, represented in the chart above, comprises Mr Yuen Sou Wai, Mr Chong Chin Fan
and Dr Choo Boon Seng. The Chairman of our Audit Committee is Mr Yuen Sou Wai.

Our business and operations are presently under the management and close supervision of our
Executive Directors who are assisted by our Executive Officers.

After our listing on Catalist, our Executive Directors and Executive Officers will manage the business
and operations of our Group. The Audit Committee will assist our Board of Directors with regard to

162
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

discharging its responsibility to safeguard our Companys assets, maintain adequate accounting
records, and develop and maintain effective systems of internal controls with an overall objective to
ensure that our management has created and maintained an effective control environment in our
Company, and that our management demonstrates and stimulates the necessary aspects of our
Groups internal control structure among all parties.

Our Audit Committee will meet periodically to discuss and review the following (non-exhaustive)
functions where applicable:

(a) review with the external auditors the audit plan, their evaluation of the system of internal controls,
their audit report, their management letter and our managements response;

(b) review with the internal auditors the internal audit plan and their evaluation of the adequacy of our
internal control and accounting system before submission of the results of such review to our
Board for approval prior to the incorporation of such results in our annual report;

(c) review the financial statements before submission to our Board for approval, focusing in
particular, on changes in accounting policies and practices, major risk areas, significant
adjustments resulting from the audit, the going concern statement, compliance with accounting
standards as well as compliance with any stock exchange and statutory/regulatory requirements;

(d) review the internal control and procedures and ensure co-ordination between the external
auditors and our management, reviewing the assistance given by our management to the
auditors, and discuss problems and concerns, if any, arising from the interim and final audits, and
any matters which the auditors may wish to discuss (in the absence of our management where
necessary);

(e) review and discuss with the external auditors any suspected fraud or irregularity, or suspected
infringement of any relevant laws, rules or regulations, which has or is likely to have a material
impact on our Groups operating results or financial position, and our managements response;

(f) review, where applicable, the scope and results of the internal audit procedures;

(g) review and approve interested person transactions and review procedures thereof;

(h) review potential conflicts of interests (if any) and to set out a framework to resolve or mitigate any
potential conflicts of interests;

(i) conduct periodic review of foreign exchange transactions and hedging policies (if any) undertaken
by our Group;

(j) consider the appointment or re-appointment of the external auditors and matters relating to
resignation or dismissal of the auditors;

(k) review our Groups compliance with such functions and duties as may be required under the
relevant statutes or the Catalist Rules, including such amendments made thereto from time to
time;

(l) undertake such other reviews and projects as may be requested by our Board of Directors and
report to our Board its findings from time to time on matters arising and requiring the attention of
our Audit Committee;

163
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

(m) review at least annually our Groups key financial risk areas, with a view to providing an
independent oversight on our Groups financial reporting, the outcome of such review to be
disclosed in the annual reports of our Company or, where the findings are material, to announce
such material findings immediately via SGXNET; and

(n) generally to undertake such other functions and duties as may be required by statute or the
Catalist Rules, and by such amendments made thereto from time to time.

Our Audit Committee shall also commission a biannual internal controls 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
biannual internal controls 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 Audit Committees
decision to decommission the biannual internal controls audit. Thereafter, such audits may be initiated
by our 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 controls audit, appropriate disclosure must
be made via SGXNET on any material, price-sensitive internal controls weaknesses and any follow-up
actions to be taken by the Board.

The Audit Committee, having (i) conducted an interview with Ms Tay Bee Gek Dorriz; (ii) considered the
qualifications and past working experience of Ms Tay Bee Gek Dorriz (as described in the section
entitled Directors, Management and Staff Executive Officers of this Offer Document); (iii) observed
her abilities, familiarity and diligence in relation to the financial matters and information of our Group;
and (iv) noted the absence of any negative feedback from Deloitte & Touche LLP, is of the view that Ms
Tay Bee Gek Dorriz is suitable for the position of Chief Financial Officer.

Apart from the duties listed above, our Audit Committee will also commission and review the findings
of internal investigations into matters where there is any suspected fraud or irregularity, or failure of
internal controls, or infringement of any Singapore law, rule or regulation which has or is likely to have
a material impact on our Companys operating results or financial position. In the event that a member
of our Audit Committee is interested in any matter being considered by our Audit Committee, he will
abstain from reviewing that particular transaction or voting on that particular transaction.

In addition, all future transactions with related parties shall comply with the requirements of the Catalist
Rules. Our Directors shall also abstain from voting in any contract or arrangement or proposed
contract/arrangement in which he has a personal material interest.

166
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES

The following statements are brief summaries of the rights and privileges of our Shareholders conferred
by the laws of Singapore and the Articles of Association of our Company.

The following description summarises the material provisions of our Articles but is qualified by
reference to our Articles, a copy of which is available for inspection at our registered office during
normal business hours for a period of six (6) months from the date of this Offer Document.

Ordinary Shares

There are no founder, management, deferred or unissued shares reserved for issue for any purpose.
We have only one (1) class of shares, namely, our ordinary shares which have identical rights in all
respects and rank equally with one another. All of our Shares are in registered form. Our Company may,
subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the rules of the SGX-ST, purchase its Shares.
However, we may not, except in circumstances permitted by the Companies Act, grant any financial
assistance for the acquisition or proposed acquisition of our Shares.

New Shares

New Shares may only be issued with the prior approval of our Shareholders in a general meeting. The
aggregate number of shares to be issued pursuant to such approval may not exceed 100% (or such
other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of our issued share capital for the time being, of which
the aggregate number of Shares to be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to our shareholders may
not exceed 50% (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of our issued share capital
for the time being (the percentage of issued share capital being based on our Companys issued share
capital at the time such authority is given after adjusting for new Shares arising from the conversion of
convertible securities or employee share options on issue at the time such authority is given and any
subsequent consolidation or subdivision of Shares).

The approval, if granted, will lapse at the conclusion of the annual general meeting following the date
on which the approval was granted or the date by which the annual general meeting is required by law
to be held, whichever is earlier but any approval may be previously revoked or varied by our Company
in general meeting. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of the Companies Act and any special rights
attached to any class of shares currently issued, all new Shares are under the control of our Board of
Directors who may allot and issue the same with such rights and restrictions as it may think fit.

Shareholders

Only persons who are registered in the Register of Shareholders of our Company and, in cases in which
the person so registered is CDP, the persons named as the Depositors in the Depository Register
maintained by CDP for the Shares, are recognised as our Shareholders. We will not, except as required
by law, recognise any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or other rights for any
Share other than the absolute right thereto of the registered holder of that Share or of the person whose
name is entered in the Depository Register for that Share. Our Company may close our Register of
Shareholders for any time or times if we provide the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of
Singapore with at least 14 days notice and the SGX-ST at least ten (10) clear market days notice.
However, the Register of Shareholders may not be closed for more than 30 days in aggregate in any
calendar year. We typically close our Register of Shareholders to determine Shareholders entitlement
to receive dividends and other distributions.

167
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES

Transfer of Shares

There is no restriction on the transfer of fully paid Shares except where required by law or the Catalist
Rules or the rules or by-laws of any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. Our Board of
Directors may decline to register any transfer of Shares which are not fully paid Shares or Shares on
which we have a lien. Our Shares may be transferred by a duly signed instrument of transfer in a form
approved by the SGX-ST or any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. Our Board of
Directors may also decline to register any instrument of transfer unless, among other things, it has been
duly stamped and is presented for registration together with the share certificate and such other
evidence of title as they may require. We will replace lost or destroyed certificates for Shares if it is
properly notified and if the applicant pays a fee which will not exceed S$2 and furnishes any evidence
and indemnity that our Board of Directors may require.

General Meetings of Shareholders

We are required to hold an annual general meeting every year. Our Board of Directors may convene
an extraordinary general meeting whenever it thinks fit and must do so if Shareholders representing not
less than 10% of the total voting rights of all Shareholders request in writing that such a meeting be
held. In addition, two (2) or more shareholders holding not less than 10% of our issued share capital
may call a meeting. Unless otherwise required by law or by our Articles, voting at general meetings is
by ordinary resolution, requiring an affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast at that
meeting. An ordinary resolution suffices, for example, for the appointment of directors. A special
resolution, requiring the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes cast at the meeting, is necessary
for certain matters under Singapore law, including voluntary winding up, amendments to the
Memorandum of Association and our Articles, a change of our corporate name and a reduction in the
share capital, share premium account or capital redemption reserve fund. We must give at least 21
days notice in writing for every general meeting convened for the purpose of passing a special
resolution. Ordinary resolutions generally require at least 14 days notice in writing. The notice must be
given to each of our Shareholders who has supplied us with an address in Singapore for the giving of
notices and must set forth the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and, in the case of special
business, the general nature of that business.

Voting Rights

A Shareholder is entitled to attend, speak and vote at any general meeting, in person or by proxy.
Proxies need not be Shareholders. A person who holds Shares through the SGX-ST book-entry
settlement system will only be entitled to vote at a general meeting as a Shareholder if his name
appears on the Depository Register maintained by CDP 48 hours before the general meeting. Except
as otherwise provided in our Articles, two (2) or more Shareholders must be present in person or by
proxy to constitute a quorum at any general meeting. Under our Articles, on a show of hands, every
Shareholder present in person and by proxy shall have one (1) vote (provided that in the case of a
Shareholder who is represented by two (2) proxies, only one (1) of the two (2) proxies as determined
by that Shareholder or, failing such determination, the chairman of the meeting in his sole discretion
shall be entitled to vote on a show of hands), and on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by
proxy shall have one (1) vote for each Share which he holds or represents. A poll may be demanded
in certain circumstances, including by the chairman of the meeting or by any Shareholder present in
person or by proxy and representing not less than 10% of the total voting rights of all Shareholders
having the right to attend and vote at the meeting or by any two (2) Shareholders present in person or
by proxy and entitled to vote. In the case of a tie vote, whether on a show of hands or a poll, the
chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a casting vote.

168
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES

Dividends

We may, by ordinary resolution of our Shareholders, declare dividends at a general meeting, but we
may not pay dividends in excess of the amount recommended by our Board of Directors. We must pay
all dividends out of our profits. Our Board of Directors may also declare an interim dividend without the
approval of our Shareholders. All dividends are paid pro-rata among our Shareholders in proportion to
the amount paid up on each Shareholders Shares, unless the rights attaching to an issue of any Share
provides otherwise. Unless otherwise directed, dividends are paid by cheque or warrant sent through
the post to each Shareholder at his registered address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment by
us to CDP of any dividend payable to a Shareholder whose name is entered in the Depository Register
shall, to the extent of payment made to CDP, discharge us from any liability to that Shareholder in
respect of that payment.

Capitalisation and Rights Issues

Our Board of Directors may, with approval by our Shareholders at a general meeting, capitalise any
reserves or profits (including profits or money carried and standing to an reserve) and distribute the
same as shares credited as paid-up to our Shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. Our Board
of Directors may also issue rights to take up additional Shares to Shareholders in proportion to their
shareholdings. Such rights are subject to any conditions attached to such issue and the regulations of
any stock exchange on which we are listed.

Take-overs

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% or more of the voting Shares must extend a
take-over offer for the remaining voting Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore
Take-over Code. In addition, a mandatory take-over 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% and 50%
of the voting rights acquires additional voting shares representing more than 1% of the voting shares
in any six (6) 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:

of the adviser and any of those funds in the customer total 10% or more of the customers

be accompanied by a cash alternative at not less than the highest price paid by the offeror or any
person acting in concert within the preceding six (6) months.

Liquidation or Other Return of Capital

If our Company is liquidated or in the event of any other return of capital, holders of our Shares will be
entitled to participate in any surplus assets in proportion to their shareholdings, subject to any special
rights attaching to any other class of shares.

170
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by Singapore law, our Articles provide that, subject to the Companies Act, our
Board of Directors and officers shall be entitled to be indemnified by us against any liability incurred in
defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted to have
been done as an officer, director or employee and in which judgement is given in their favour or in which
they are acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in
respect thereof in which relief is granted by the court. We may not indemnify our Directors and officers
against any liability which by law would otherwise attach to them in respect of any negligence, default,
breach of duty or breach of trust of which they may be guilty in relation to us.

Limitations on Rights to Hold or Vote Shares

Except as described in Voting Rights and Take-overs above, there are no limitations imposed by
Singapore law or by our Articles on the rights of non-resident Shareholders to hold or vote in respect
of the Shares.

Minority Rights

The rights of minority shareholders of Singapore-incorporated companies are protected, inter alia,
under Section 216 of the Companies Act, which gives the Singapore courts a general power to make
any order, upon application by any of our Shareholders, as they think fit to remedy any of the following
situations:

(a) our affairs are being conducted or the powers of our Board of Directors are being exercised in a
manner oppressive to, or in disregard of the interests of, one (1) or more of our Shareholders; or

(b) we take an action, or threaten to take an action, or Shareholders pass a resolution, or propose to
pass a resolution, which unfairly discriminates against, or is otherwise prejudicial to, one (1) or
more of the Shareholders, including the applicant.

Singapore courts have wide discretion as to the reliefs they may grant and those reliefs are in no way
limited to those listed in the Companies Act itself. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Singapore courts
may:

(a) direct or prohibit any act or cancel or vary any transaction or resolution;

(b) regulate the conduct of the affairs of our Company in the future;

(c) authorise civil proceedings to be brought in our name of, or on behalf of, our Company by a person
or persons and on such terms as the court may direct;

(d) provide for the purchase of a minority Shareholders Shares by our other Shareholders or by us
and, in the case of a purchase of Shares by us, a corresponding reduction of our share capital;

(e) provide that the Memorandum of Association or the Articles be amended; or

(f) provide that we be wound up.

171
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES

Treasury Shares

Our Articles of Association expressly permits our Company to purchase or acquire shares or stocks of
our Company and to hold such shares or stocks (or any of them) as treasury shares in accordance with
the requirements of Section 76 of the Companies Act. Our Company may make a purchase or
acquisition of our own Shares on a securities exchange if the purchase or acquisition has been
authorised in advance by our Company in general meeting; or otherwise than on a securities exchange
if the purchase or acquisition is made in accordance with an equal access scheme authorised in
advance by our Company in general meeting. The aggregate number of Shares held as treasury shares
shall not at any time exceed 10% of the total number of Shares of our Company at that time. Any excess
shares shall be disposed of or cancelled before the end of a period of six (6) months beginning with the
day on which that contravention of limit occurs, or such further period as the share registrar may allow.
Where Shares or stocks are held as treasury shares by our Company through purchase or acquisition
by our Company, our Company shall be entered in the Register of Shareholders as the member holding
those Shares or stocks.

Our Company shall not exercise any right in respect of the treasury shares and any purported exercise
of such a right is void. Such rights include any right to attend or vote at meetings and our Company shall
be treated as having no right to vote and the treasury shares shall be treated as having no voting rights.

In addition, no dividend may be 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 the treasury shares. However, this would not prevent an allotment of shares
as fully paid bonus shares in respect of the treasury shares or the subdivision or consolidation of any
treasury share into a treasury share of a smaller amount, if the total value of the treasury shares after
the subdivision or consolidation is the same as the total value of the treasury shares before the
subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be.

Where Shares are held as treasury shares, our Company may at any time (i) sell the Shares (or any
of them) for cash; (ii) transfer the Shares (or any of them) for the purposes of or pursuant to an
employees share scheme; (iii) transfer the Shares (or any of them) as consideration for the acquisition
of shares in or assets of another company or assets of a person; or (iv) cancel the Shares (or any of
them).

172
EXCHANGE CONTROLS

Currently, there are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in Singapore and in Hong
Kong.

173
TAXATION

Singapore Taxation

The following is a discussion of certain tax matters relating to Singapore income tax, dividend
distributions, capital gains tax, bonus shares, stamp duty, goods and services tax and estate duty in
relation to the purchase, ownership and disposal of the Shares. The discussion is based on current tax
laws in Singapore 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 with respect to ownership of the Shares by Shareholders, 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 Placement.

Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding Singapore income tax and other
consequences of owning and disposing of the Shares. It is emphasized 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 Income Tax

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 sourced 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 is exempted from Singapore income 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 sourced 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% with effect from the Year of Assessment 2010 after allowing
partial tax exemption on the first S$300,000 of a companys chargeable income.

Individual income tax

An individual taxpayer (both resident and non-resident) is subject to Singapore income tax on income
accrued in or derived from Singapore, subject to certain exceptions. Foreign sourced income received
or deemed received in Singapore by individual taxpayers, regardless of whether they are resident or

174
TAXATION

non-resident of Singapore, are generally exempt from income tax in Singapore except for such income
received through a partnership in Singapore. Certain Singapore-sourced investment income received
or deemed received by individuals is also exempt from tax.

Currently, a Singapore tax resident individual is subject to tax at progressive rates, ranging from 0% to
20%.

A non-Singapore tax resident individual is normally taxed at the tax rate of 20% except for certain
specified income that may be taxable at lower rates.

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 Singapore.

Dividend Distributions

Under the one-tier corporate tax system, the tax paid by a resident company is a final tax and the
distributable profits of the company can be paid to shareholders as tax exempt dividends. Dividends
paid by our Company will be exempt from tax in the hands of Shareholders, regardless of the tax
residence status or the legal form of the Shareholders. However, foreign Shareholders are advised to
consult their own tax advisers to take into account the tax laws of their respective countries of residence
and the existence of any double taxation agreement which their country of residence may have with
Singapore.

Capital Gains Tax

Singapore currently does not impose tax on capital gains. However, there are no specific laws or
regulations which deal with the characterisation of capital gains. In general, gains or profits derived
from the disposal of our Shares acquired for long-term investment purposes are considered as capital
gains and not subject to Singapore tax.

On the other hand, where such gains or profits arise from activities which the Comptroller of Income Tax
regards as the carrying on of a trade or business of dealing in shares in Singapore, gains or profits will
ordinarily be taxed as income.

Bonus Shares

Any bonus shares received by our Shareholders are not taxable.

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$2.00 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

175
TAXATION

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 CDP,
no stamp duty will be imposed on the transfers of our Shares via CDP.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The sale of our Shares by an investor belonging in Singapore to another person belonging in Singapore
is an exempt supply not subject to GST.

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 input GST incurred by a GST-registered investor in the making of this supply
in the course of or furtherance of a business carried on by him is recoverable from the Comptroller of
GST.

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%. 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.

176
CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT

Upon listing and quotation on Catalist, our Shares will be traded under the book-entry settlement
system of 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 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 CDP, rather than CDP itself, will be treated, under our Articles of Association and the
Companies Act, as members of our Company in respect of the number of Shares credited to their
respective securities accounts.

Persons holding our 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$10.00 for each withdrawal of 1,000 Shares or less and a fee of S$25.00 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$2.00 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 S$10.00 is also payable where our Shares are withdrawn in the name of the person withdrawing
our Shares or S$0.20 per S$100.00 or part thereof 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$10.00 is payable upon the
deposit of each instrument of transfer with CDP. The above fees may be subject to such charges 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.

Transactions in our 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 currently 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 per cent. of
the transaction value subject to a maximum of S$600.00 per transaction. The clearing fee, instrument

Disclosure in respect of our Executive Chairman, Mr Chew Chee Bin

On 26 April 2005, Sunrise Concrete Industries Sdn. Bhd. (Sunrise) commenced legal
proceedings in the High Court of Johor Bahru against Celplex Sdn. Bhd. (Celplex) for a sum of
S$337,247.63 and RM33,533.78, and interests and costs, alleged to be owed by Celplex to
Sunrise pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated 2 July 2002 (the SPA). The SPA is
for the purchase of plant, equipment, concrete mould and other items (the Goods) from Sunrise
by Celplex and payment of the purchase price was to be paid in instalments. Mr Chew Chee Bin
wholly-owns Celplex. Mr Chew Chee Bin provided a personal guarantee (the Personal
Guarantee) for all payments due to Sunrise under the SPA. Pursuant to the SPA, Sunrise
undertook to procure a discharge of a fixed and floating charge on, inter alia, the Goods (the
Debenture). As Sunrise failed to obtain a discharge of the Debenture, Celplex stopped making
payments to Sunrise due under the SPA. Subsequently, Sunrise commenced the said legal
proceedings in Malaysia against Celplex.

Court of Singapore as guarantor in relation to the Personal Guarantee for a sum of S$310,500 and
RM5,761.30, and interests and costs.

Settlement was reached between Celplex and Sunrise and the Consent Judgment was filed on 18
June 2010 in the High Court of Johor Bahru. Celplex made payment of the settlement sum of
S$225,000 to Sunrise on 23 June 2010. Accordingly, a Notice of Discontinuance was filed on 28
June 2010 in the High Court of Singapore and the action against Mr Chew Chee Bin was
discontinued. The matter has since been resolved both in Malaysia and in Singapore. Celplex is
currently dormant.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FOR THE YEARS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 and 2010

16 February 2011

The Board of Directors


Chews Group Limited
20 Murai Farmway
Singapore 709153

Dear Sirs

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Chews Group Limited (the
Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group). The combined financial statements comprise the
combined statements of financial position as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the related
combined statements of comprehensive income, statements of cash flows and statements of changes
in equity of the Group for the years ended 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010 (the Relevant Periods),
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages A-3
to A-44.

Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial
statements in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes:
devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable
assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and
transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation
of true and fair profit and loss account and balance sheet and to maintain accountability of assets;
selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are
reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

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 judgement, 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.

A-1
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED

with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs
of the Group as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010 and of the results, changes in equity and cash

Basis of preparation of the combined financial statements

For the purpose of preparing this set of combined financial statements, the combined statements
of comprehensive income, combined statements of cash flows and combined statements of
changes in equity for the Relevant Periods have been prepared on a combined basis and include
the financial information of the companies now comprising the Group as if the current Group
structure had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods, or since their respective dates
of establishment or acquisition whichever is the shorter period. The combined statements of

A-10
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been prepared to
present the assets and liabilities of the Group as at those dates as if the current Group structure
had been in existence at these dates.

The combined financial statements of the Group for the years ended 30 September 2008, 2009
and 2010 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 16 February 2011.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The combined financial statements have been prepared in


accordance with the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below,
and are drawn up in accordance with the provision of the Singapore Financial Reporting
Standards (FRS).

ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS The Group has adopted all the new and
revised FRSs and Interpretations of FRS (INT FRS) issued and amendments to FRS that are
relevant to the Group since the beginning of the Relevant Periods.

At the date of authorisation of these combined financial statements, the following FRSs that are
relevant to the Group were issued but not effective:

Amendments to FRS 7 Statement of Cash Flows

The amendments (part of Improvements to FRSs issued in June 2009) specify that only
expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position can be
classified as investing activities in the statement of cash flows. Consequently, cash flows in
respect of development costs that do not meet the criteria in FRS 38 Intangible Assets for
capitalisation as part of an internally generated intangible asset (and, therefore, are recognised in
profit or loss as incurred) will be reclassified from investing to operating activities in the statement
of cash flows. The amendments to FRS 7 will be adopted for periods beginning on or after 1
January 2010.

FRS 24 (Revised) Related Party Disclosures

FRS 24 (Revised) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The revised
Standard clarifies the definition of a related party and consequently additional parties may be
identified as related to the reporting entity. In addition, the revised Standard provides partial
exemption for government-related entities, in relation to the disclosure transactions, outstanding
balances and commitments. Where such exemptions apply, the reporting entity has to make
additional disclosures, including the nature of the governments relationship with the reporting
entity and information on significant transactions or Company of transactions involved. In the
period of initial adoption, the changes to related party disclosures, if any, will be applied
retrospectively with restatement of the comparative information.

BASIS OF COMBINATIONS The combined financial statements incorporate the financial


statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and had been prepared using the principles of
merger accounting and on the assumption that the re-organisation of entities controlled by the
same shareholders has been effected as at the beginning of the Relevant Periods presented in
these combined financial statements.

A-11
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

All significant intercompany transactions and balances between Group enterprises are eliminated
on combination.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of subsidiaries are identified separately from the
Groups equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the
date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interests share of changes in
equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-
controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the
Groups combined statements of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial
instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through
the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period. Income and
expense is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments.

Financial assets

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits that are readily
convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method
less impairment except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be
immaterial.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash
flows of the financial assets have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost,
the amount of the impairment is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent
recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes
in the carrying amount of the allowances account are recognised in profit or loss.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously

A-12
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of
the receivables at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost
would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group
recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to
pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred
financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a
collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Certain unquoted shares held by the Group are classified as being available-for-sale and are
stated at fair value or cost when its fair value cannot be measured reliably. Gains and losses
arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the revaluation reserve with the
exception of impairment losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method. Where
the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognised in the revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the
Groups right to receive payments is established.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the
substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability
and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group
after deducting all of the liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net
of direct issue costs.

Other financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, with interest
expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

Interest-bearing bank loans are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured
at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Any difference between the proceeds (net

A-13
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term
of the borrowings in accordance with the Groups accounting policy for borrowing costs (see
below).

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Groups obligations are
discharged, cancelled or they expire.

LEASES Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified
as operating leases.

The Group as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the
inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The
corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the combined statements of financial position as
a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and
reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to profit or loss. Contingent rentals
are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time
pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals
arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are
incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are
recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental
expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative
of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
comprises direct materials and where applicable, direct labour costs and overheads that have
been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated
using the first-in, first-out method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less
all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

The eggs are stated at fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest.

BIOLOGICAL ASSETS Biological assets include mature and immature chickens kept by the
Group for the production of eggs. A chicken is considered mature when it starts producing eggs
at about 23 weeks old.

The chickens are measured at costs less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses as
their fair value cannot be measured reliably.

A-14
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

The chickens are subjected to amortisation when they are considered mature. They are being
amortised on a reducing balance method over the estimated egg laying period of about 50 weeks
and thereafter disposed off at a residual value.

The costs of chickens consists of the initial purchase costs and accumulated costs of vaccine,
chicken feed, medicine and other indirect overhead costs incurred to breed the chickens to a
mature state and sustain its production capacity.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective
basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, using
the straight-line method, on the following bases:

Farm buildings 15 years


Plant, machinery and equipment 10 years
Office equipment and motor vehicles 5 years

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each
reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same
basis as owned assets or, if there is no certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end
of the lease term, the asset shall be fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its
useful life.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference
between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or
loss.

Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment still in use are retained in the combined financial
statements.

LAND USE RIGHTS Prepaid land rental is accounted for as land use rights and amortised on
a straight-line basis over the lease term of 20 years.

IMPAIRMENT OF TANGIBLE ASSETS At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews
the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

A-15
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-
generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior
years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

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 the Group will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows
estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash
flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be
recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that
reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration


received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other
similar allowances.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:

the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods;

the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually
associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the
Group; and

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

A-16

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the
effective interest rate applicable.

Commission income

Commission income is recognised upon completion of services rendered.

BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or


production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time
to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time
as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on
the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is
deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are
charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit
schemes, such as the Singapore Central Provident Fund, are dealt with as payments to defined
contribution plans where the Groups obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising
in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.

EMPLOYEE LEAVE ENTITLEMENT Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised


when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as
a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

INCOME TAX Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and
deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit
as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are not
taxable or tax deductible. The Groups liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates (and tax
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the combined financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred
tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available
against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to
allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability
is settled or the asset realised based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

A-17
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the
same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a
net basis.

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS The individual financial statements of each Group


entity are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the entity operates (its functional currency). The combined financial statements of the Group are
presented in Singapore dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and the
presentation currency for the combined financial statements.

In preparing the combined financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the
Companys functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the
transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not
retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on retranslation of


monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period.

3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION


UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Groups accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, management
is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects
both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying the entitys accounting policies

There are no critical judgements, apart from those involving estimation (see below) that the
management has made in the process of applying the accounting policy for the amounts
recognised in the combined financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below:

A-18
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

Impairment of biological assets

The Group assesses annually whether its biological assets have any indication of impairment in
accordance with its accounting policy. In instances where there are indicators of impairment, the
recoverable amounts of biological assets will be determined based on value-in-use calculations.
These calculations require the use of management judgements and estimates. No provision for
impairment is considered necessary at the end of the respective reporting periods as no indication
of impairment has been identified. The carrying amounts of biological assets are disclosed in Note
12 to the combined financial statements.

Allowance for doubtful debts

The Group makes allowance for bad and doubtful debts based on an assessment of the
recoverability of trade and other receivables. Allowances are applied to trade and other
receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be
collectible. The identification of doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates.
Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the
carrying value of trade and other receivables and doubtful debts expenses in the period in which
such estimate has been changed.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables at the end of the reporting period as
disclosed in Notes 7 and 8 to the combined financial statements respectively, approximate their
recoverable amounts as there has not been a significant change in their credit quality since the
end of the reporting period.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

As described in Note 2, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and
equipment at the end of each annual reporting period. Changes in the expected level and future
usage can impact the economic useful lives of these assets with consequential impact on the
future depreciation charge. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are disclosed
in Note 10 to the combined financial statements.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Group assesses annually whether property, plant and equipment exhibit any indication of
impairment. In instances where there are indications of impairment, the recoverable amounts of
property, plant and equipment will be based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations
require the use of management judgement and estimates. The carrying amounts of the Groups
property, plant and equipment are disclosed in Note 10 to the combined financial statements.

Useful lives biological assets

As described in Note 2, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of biological assets at the
end of each annual reporting period. Management is of the view that the estimation of useful lives
of the biological assets is reasonable and no change from prior periods. The carrying amounts of
biological assets are disclosed in Note 12 to the combined financial statements.

4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND CAPITAL RISKS MANAGEMENT

(a) Categories of financial instruments

The following table sets out the financial instruments as at the end of the reporting period:

2008 2009 2010


$ $ $
Financial Assets
Loans and receivables (including cash and cash
equivalents) 3,107,167 4,722,397 6,025,805
Available-for-sale financial asset 1 1 1

Financial Liabilities
Amortised cost 2,242,789 2,784,979 3,495,531

(b) Financial risk management policies and objectives

The Groups overall financial risk management policies and objectives seek to minimise
potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Risk management is
carried out by the Board of Directors and periodic reviews are undertaken to ensure that the
Groups policy guidelines are complied with. There has been no change to the Groups
exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

(i) Foreign exchange risk management

The Group transacts business in other foreign currencies including the United States
dollar, Euro and Malaysian ringgit and therefore is exposed to foreign exchange risk.
The Company does not hedge against foreign exchange exposure as the currency risk
is not expected to be significant.

At the end of the reporting period, the carrying amounts of monetary assets and
monetary liabilities denominated in currencies other than the respective Group entities
functional currencies are as follows:

Liabilities Assets
2008 2009 2010 2008 2009 2010
$ $ $ $ $ $
United States dollar 19,687 11,750 48,039
Euro 207,704 75,600 293,984
Malaysian ringgit 2,728 13,187 171,054

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following table details the sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the
relevant foreign currencies against the Singapore dollars. The sensitivity analysis

A-20
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts
their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.

If the relevant foreign currencies weakens by 10% against the functional currency of
each Group entity, the Groups profit or loss will increase by:

2008 2009 2010


$ $ $
United States dollar 1,969 1,175 4,804
Euro 20,770 7,560 29,398
Malaysian ringgit 273 1,319 17,105

If the relevant foreign currencies strengthens by 10%, there would be an equal and
opposite impact on the Groups profit or loss.

(ii) Interest rate risk management

Interest bearing financial assets are mainly bank balances which are short-term in
nature and bank deposits which are insignificant. Hence, financial assets do not result
in significant interest rate risk.

The Groups exposures to interest rate risk on its bank loan and finance leases for
changes in interest rate is minimal as these financial liabilities bear fixed interest rate.

No sensitivity analysis is prepared as the Group does not expect any material effect on
the Groups profit or loss arising from the effects of reasonably possible changes to
interest rates on interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the reporting
period.

(iii) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations
resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Groups exposure and the credit ratings
of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of
transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is
controlled by the counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the
management periodically.

The Groups bank balances are held with creditworthy financial institutions.

Concentration of credit risk exists when economic, industry or geographical factors


similarly affect the Groups counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is
significant in relation to the Groups total credit exposure. There is no concentration of
credit risk as the Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single
counterparty or any company of counterparties having similar characteristics. The
Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related
entities.

A-21
APPENDIX A INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THE
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2008, 2009 AND 2010

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the combined financial statements,
grossed up for any allowances for losses, represents the Groups maximum exposure
to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

Further details of credit risks on trade and other receivables are disclosed in Notes 7
and 8 to the combined financial statements respectively.

(iv) Liquidity risk management

Management is of the view that there is minimal liquidity risk as the Group maintains
sufficient cash and cash equivalents and internally generated cash flows to finance
their activities. If required, financing can be obtained from its existing lines of banking
facilities.

Liquidity and interest risk analyses

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturity for non-derivative
financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash
flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be
required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. The
adjustment column represents the possible future cash flows attributable to the
instrument included in the maturity analysis which is not included in the carrying
amount of the financial liability on the combined statements of financial position.

Non-derivative financial assets

All financial assets in 2008, 2009 and 2010 are repayable on demand or due within 1
year from the end of the reporting period.

(v) Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

The carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, trade and other current receivables
and payables and other liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the
relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of other
classes of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes to the
combined financial statements.

(c) Capital risk management policies and objectives

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as a going
concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and
equity balance, and to ensure that all externally imposed capital requirements are complied
with.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes bank loans, finance
leases and equity, comprising issued capital and retained earnings. The Groups overall
strategy remains unchanged during the Relevant Periods.

5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related parties are entities with common direct or indirect shareholders and/or director and
associates. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other
party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating
decisions.

Some of the Groups transactions and arrangements are with related parties and the effect of
these on the basis determined between the parties is reflected in these combined financial
statements. The balances are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand.

Outside parties 2,156,334 2,413,624 2,901,470
Allowance for doubtful trade receivables (44,715) (56,622) (19,062)

2,111,619 2,357,002 2,882,408

The average credit period on sales of goods is 30 days to 90 days (2009 and 2008: 30 days to
60 days). No interest is charged on the outstanding balances.

An allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable amounts from the sales of goods to
outside parties of $19,062 (2009: $56,622; 2008: $44,715). This allowance has been determined
based on managements evaluation of the collectability of specific customer accounts.

Included in the Groups trade receivables balance are debtors with a carrying amount of $623,534
(2009: $466,400; 2008: $440,606) which are past due at the reporting date for which the Group
has not provided as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are
still considered recoverable.

The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances. The average age of these
receivables are 62 days (2009: 60 days; 2008: 67 days). In determining the recoverability of a
trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from
the date credit was initially granted to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited
due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the management believes that
there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

The table below is an analysis of the Groups trade receivables as at the end of the reporting
period:

Biological assets written off comprise of degeneration costs as a result of the mortality of the
chickens over their lives and from the sale of unproductive hens.

Biological assets are used in the production of eggs. Due to the uniqueness of each chicken and
as an active market does not exist for these chickens, these are stated at cost less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses.

Biological assets are mortgaged to a bank for the purposes of obtaining overdraft facilities for the
Group.

Available-for-sale investment represents the Groups 1.75% interest in Malaysian Feedmill Farm
Pte Ltd, a company incorporated in Singapore.

The fair value of the unquoted investment is deemed to be not reliably measurable as the
probabilities of the various estimates within the range cannot be reasonably assessed as used in
estimating fair value. Consequently the investment is carried at cost less impairment loss.
Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for available-for-sale investment are not reversed.

interested

Article 104

A Director shall not vote in respect of any contract or arrangement or any other proposal
whatsoever in which he has any personal material interest, directly or indirectly. A Director shall
not be counted in the quorum at a meeting in relation to any resolution on which he is debarred
from voting.

(b) the Directors power to vote on remuneration (including pension or other benefits) for himself or
for any other director, and whether the quorum at a meeting of the board of Directors to vote on
Directors remuneration may include the Director whose remuneration is the subject of the vote

Article 77

The ordinary remuneration of the Directors, which shall from time to time be determined by an
Ordinary Resolution of the Company, shall not be increased except pursuant to an Ordinary
Resolution passed at a General Meeting where notice of the proposed increase shall have been
given in the notice convening the General Meeting and shall (unless such resolution otherwise
provides) be divisible among the Directors as they may agree, or failing agreement, equally,
except that any Director who shall hold office for part only of the period in respect of which such
remuneration is payable shall be entitled only to rank in such division for a proportion of
remuneration related to the period during which he has held office. The ordinary remuneration of
an executive Director may not include a commission on or a percentage of turnover and the
ordinary remuneration of a non-executive Director shall be a fixed sum, and not by a commission
on or a percentage of profits or turnover.

Article 78

Any Director who holds any executive office, or who serves on any committee of the Directors, or
who otherwise performs services which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the
ordinary duties of a Director, may be paid such extra remuneration by way of salary, commission
or otherwise as the Directors may determine, Provided that such extra remuneration (in the case
of an executive Director) shall not be by way of commission on or a percentage of turnover and
(in the case of a non-executive Director) shall be a fixed sum, and not by a commission on or a
percentage of profits or turnover.

Article 80

The Directors shall have power to pay and agree to pay pensions or other retirement,
superannuation, death or disability benefits to (or to any person in respect of) any Director for the
time being holding any executive office and for the purpose of providing any such pensions or
other benefits to contribute to any scheme or fund or to pay premiums.

(c) borrowing powers exercisable by the Directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied

Article 112

Subject as hereinafter provided and to the provisions of the Statutes, the Directors may exercise
all the powers of the Company to borrow money, to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property
and uncalled capital and to issue debentures and other securities, whether outright or as collateral
security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

(d) retirement or non-retirement of Directors under an age limit requirement

Article 93

At each Annual General Meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number
is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from
office by rotation, Provided that no Director holding office as Managing Director shall be subject
to retirement by rotation or be taken into account in determining the number of Directors to retire.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Director (other than a Director holding office as Managing
Director) shall retire at least once every three (3) years.

Article 94

The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to obtain the number required)
any Director who is due to retire at a General Meeting by reason of age or who wishes to retire
and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other
Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last
re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected
Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves)
be determined by ballot. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.

Article 95

The Company at a General Meeting at which a Director retires under any provision of these
presents may by Ordinary Resolution fill the office being vacated by electing thereto the retiring
Director or some other person eligible for appointment. In default, the retiring Director shall be
deemed to have been re-elected except in any of the following cases:

re-election of such Director is put to the meeting and lost; or

re-elected; or

(c) where the default is due to the moving of a resolution in contravention of the next following
Article; or

(d) where such Director has attained any retiring age applicable to him as Director.

The retirement shall not have effect until the conclusion of the meeting except where a resolution
is passed to elect some other person in the place of the retiring Director or a resolution for his
re-election is put to the meeting and lost and accordingly a retiring Director who is re-elected or
deemed to have been re-elected will continue in office without a break.

(e) the number of shares, if any, required for Directors qualification

Article 76

A Director shall not be required to hold any shares of the Company by way of qualification. A

(B) The Directors may, at any time after the allotment of any share but before any person has
been entered in the Register of Members as the holder, recognize a renunciation thereof by
the allottee in favour of some other person and may accord to any allottee of a share a right
to effect such renunciation upon and subject to such terms and conditions as the Directors
may think fit to impose.

B-3
APPENDIX B SELECTED EXTRACTS OF OUR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

(C) Except so far as otherwise provided by the conditions of issue or by these presents, all new
shares shall be issued subject to the provisions of the Statutes and of these presents with
reference to allotment, payment of calls, lien, transfer, transmission, forfeiture or otherwise.

Special Resolution passed at a separate General Meeting of the holders of the shares of the

of the class present in person or by proxy or attorney and that any holder of shares of the

writing, if obtained from the holders of three-quarters of the total number of the issued shares
of the class concerned within two (2) months of such General Meeting, shall be as valid and
effectual as a Special Resolution carried at such General Meeting.

(B) The provisions in Article 9(A) shall mutatis mutandis apply to any repayment of preference
capital (other than redeemable preference capital) and any variation or abrogation of the
rights attached to preference shares or any class thereof.

(C) The special rights attached to any class of shares having preferential rights shall not unless
otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue thereof be deemed to be varied by the
creation or issue of further shares ranking as regards participation in the profits or assets of
the Company in some or all respects pari passu therewith but in no respect in priority thereto.

Article 34

the Directors refusing to register a transfer of shares, the Company shall within ten (10)

thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange from time to time) after the
date on which the application for a transfer of shares was made, serve a notice in writing to
the applicant stating the facts which are considered to justify the refusal as required by the
Statutes.

(B) The Directors may decline to register any instrument of transfer unless:

(a) such fee not exceeding S$2.00 (or such other fee as the Directors may determine

the Company in respect thereof;

under any law for the time being in force relating to stamps is paid;

Company, and where a Depositor has apportioned the balance standing to his Securities
Account between two (2) proxies, to apportion the said number of shares between the two
(2) proxies in the same proportion as previously specified by the Depositor in appointing the

shareholding specified in the instrument of proxy, or where the balance standing to a
Depositors Securities Account has been apportioned between two (2) proxies the aggregate

entitlement; and

(i) dividends and distribution

Article 127

The Company may by Ordinary Resolution declare Dividends but no such Dividend shall exceed
the amount recommended by the Directors.

APPENDIX B SELECTED EXTRACTS OF OUR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Article 128

If and so far as in the opinion of the Directors, the profits of the Company justify such payments,
the Directors may declare and pay the fixed Dividends on any class of shares carrying a fixed
Dividend expressed to be payable on fixed dates on the half-yearly or other dates prescribed for
the payment thereof and may also from time to time declare and pay interim Dividends on shares
of any class of such amounts and on such dates and in respect of such periods as they think fit.

Article 129

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares or class of shares and except as
otherwise permitted under the Act:

(a) all Dividends in respect of shares must be paid in proportion to the number of shares held
by a Member, but where shares are partly paid, all Dividends must be apportioned and paid
proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the partly paid shares; and

(b) all Dividends must be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts so paid or
credited as paid during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the Dividend
is paid.

For the purposes of this Article, an amount paid or credited as paid on a share in advance of a call
is to be ignored.

Article 130

(A) No Dividend shall be paid otherwise than out of profits available for distribution under the
provisions of the Statutes. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividends or other
moneys payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the
Company a trustee in respect thereof. All Dividends remaining unclaimed after one (1) year
from having been first payable may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors
for the benefit of the Company, and any Dividend or any such moneys unclaimed after six
(6) years from having been first payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company
provided always that the Directors may at any time thereafter at their absolute discretion
annul any such forfeiture and pay the Dividend so forfeited to the person entitled thereto
prior to the forfeiture. If CDP returns any such Dividend or moneys to the Company, the
relevant Depositor shall not have any right or claim in respect of such Dividend or moneys
against the Company if a period of six (6) years has elapsed from the date of the declaration
of such Dividend or the date on which such other moneys are first payable.

(B) A payment by the Company to CDP of any Dividend or other moneys payable to a Depositor
shall, to the extent of the payment made, discharge the Company from any liability to the
Depositor in respect of that payment.

Article 131

No Dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a share shall bear interest as against the
Company.

B-9
APPENDIX B SELECTED EXTRACTS OF OUR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Article 132

(A) The Directors may retain any Dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a share
on which the Company has a lien and may apply the same in or towards satisfaction of the
debts, liabilities or engagements in respect of which the lien exists.

(B) The Directors may retain the Dividends payable upon shares in respect of which any person
is under the provisions as to the transmission of shares hereinbefore contained entitled to
become a Member, or which any person is under those provisions entitled to transfer, until
such person shall become a Member in respect of such shares or shall transfer the same.

Article 133

The waiver in whole or in part of any Dividend on any share by any document (whether or not
under seal) shall be effective only if such document is signed by the Member (or the person
entitled to the share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder) and delivered to the
Company and if or to the extent that the same is accepted as such or acted upon by the Company.

Article 134

The Company may upon the recommendation of the Directors by Ordinary Resolution direct
payment of a Dividend in whole or in part by the distribution of specific assets (and in particular
of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company) and the Directors shall give effect to such
resolution. Where any difficulty arises with regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the
same as they think expedient and in particular, may issue fractional certificates, may fix the value
for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof, may determine that cash payments shall
be made to any Member upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all
parties and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.

Article 135

Any Dividend or other moneys payable in cash on or in respect of a share may be paid by cheque
or warrant sent through the post to the registered address appearing in the Register of Members
or (as the case may be) the Depository Register of the Member or person entitled thereto (or, if
two (2) or more persons are registered in the Register of Members or (as the case may be)
entered in the Depository Register as joint holders of the share or are entitled thereto in
consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, to any one (1) of such persons) or to such
person and such address as such Member or person or persons may by writing direct. Every such
cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent or to such
person as the holder or joint holders or person or persons entitled to the share in consequence
of the death or bankruptcy of the holder may direct and payment of the cheque or warrant by the
banker upon whom it is drawn shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such cheque or
warrant shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled to the money represented thereby.

Article 136

If two (2) or more persons are registered in the Register of Members or (as the case may be) the
Depository Register as joint holders of any share, or are entitled jointly to a share in consequence
of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, any one (1) of them may give effectual receipts for any
Dividend or other monies payable or property distributable on or in respect of the share.

Article 137

Any resolution declaring a Dividend on shares of any class, whether a resolution of the Company
in General Meeting or a resolution of the Directors, may specify that the same shall be payable
to the persons registered as the holders of such shares in the Register of Members or (as the case
may be) the Depository Register at the close of business on a particular date and thereupon the
Dividend shall be payable to them in accordance with their respective holdings so registered, but
without prejudice to the rights inter se in respect of such Dividend of transferors and transferees

Meetings in proportion, as far as the circumstances admit, to the number of the existing
shares to which they are entitled. The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number
of shares offered, and limiting a time within which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed
to be declined, and, after the expiration of that time, or on the receipt of an intimation from
the person to whom the offer is made that he declines to accept the shares offered, the
Directors may dispose of those shares in such manner as they think most beneficial to the
Company. The Directors may likewise so dispose of any new shares which (by reason of the
ratio which the new shares bear to shares held by persons entitled to an offer of new shares)
cannot, in the opinion of the Directors, be conveniently offered under this Article 5(A).

(B) Notwithstanding Article 5(A) above, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution in General
Meeting give to the Directors a general authority, either unconditionally or subject to such

Directors while the Ordinary Resolution was in force,

Provided that:

may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange;

comply with the provisions of the listing rules of the Designated Stock Exchange for the
time being in force (unless such compliance is waived by the Designated Stock
Exchange) and these presents; and

(3) (unless revoked or varied by the Company in General Meeting) the authority conferred
by the Ordinary Resolution shall not continue in force beyond the conclusion of the
Annual General Meeting of the Company next following the passing of the Ordinary
Resolution, or the date by which such Annual General Meeting of the Company is
required by law to be held, or the expiration of such other period as may be prescribed
by the Act (whichever is the earliest).

(C) The Company may, notwithstanding Articles 5(A) and 5(B) above, authorize the Directors
not to offer new shares to Members to whom by reason of foreign securities laws, such offers
may not be made without registration of the shares or a prospectus or other document, but
to sell the entitlements to the new shares on behalf of such Members on such terms and
conditions as the Company may direct.

Article 34

(A) There shall be no restriction on the transfer of fully paid-up shares (except where required
by law or by the rules, bye-laws or listing rules of the Designated Stock Exchange) but the
Directors may in their discretion decline to register any transfer of shares upon which the
Company has a lien, and in the case of shares not fully paid up, may refuse to register a
transfer to a transferee of whom they do not approve, Provided Always that in the event of
the Directors refusing to register a transfer of shares, the Company shall within ten (10)
market days (or such period as the Directors may determine having regard to any limitation
thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange from time to time) after the
date on which the application for a transfer of shares was made, serve a notice in writing to
the applicant stating the facts which are considered to justify the refusal as required by the
Statutes.

(B) The Directors may decline to register any instrument of transfer unless:

(a) such fee not exceeding S$2.00 (or such other fee as the Directors may determine
having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock
Exchange from time to time) as the Directors may from time to time require is paid to
the Company in respect thereof;

(b) the amount of proper duty (if any) with which each instrument of transfer is chargeable
under any law for the time being in force relating to stamps is paid;

(c) the instrument of transfer is deposited at the Office or at such other place (if any) as the
Directors may appoint accompanied by a certificate of payment of stamp duty (if stamp
duty is payable on such instrument of transfer in accordance with any law for the time
being in force relating to stamp duty), the certificates of the shares to which it relates,
and such other evidence as the Directors 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 the person so to do; and

(d) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one (1) class of shares.

Except as required by the Statutes or law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as

way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial
interest in any share, or any interest in any fractional part of a share, or (except only as by these
presents or by the Statutes or law otherwise provided) any other right in respect of any share,

7. RELEASE OF AWARDS

7.1 Review of Performance Condition

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Performance Period, the
Committee shall review the Performance Condition specified in respect of each Award and
determine at its discretion whether it has been satisfied and, if so, the extent to which it has
been satisfied, and provided that the relevant Participant has continued to be a Group
Executive from the Award Date up to the end of the Performance Period, shall Release to
that Participant all or part (as determined by the Committee at its discretion in the case
where the Committee has determined that there has been partial satisfaction of the
Performance Condition) of the Shares to which his Award relates in accordance with the
Release Schedule specified in respect of his Award on the Vesting Date. If not, the Awards
shall lapse and be of no value.

If the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the Performance Condition has not
been satisfied or (subject to Rule 6) if the relevant Participant has not continued to be a
Group Executive from the Award Date up to the end of the relevant Performance Period,
that Award shall lapse and be of no value and the provisions of Rules 7.2 to 7.4 shall be
of no effect.

The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether the Performance Condition
has been satisfied (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and in making any such
determination, the Committee shall have the right to make computational adjustments to
the audited results of the Company or the Group to take into account such factors as the
Committee may determine to be relevant, including changes in accounting methods, taxes
and extraordinary events, and further the right to amend the Performance Condition if the
Committee decides that a changed performance target would be a fairer measure of
performance.

(b) Shares which are the subject of a Released Award shall be Vested to a Participant on the
Vesting Date, which shall be a Trading Day falling as soon as practicable after the review
by the Committee referred to in Rule 7.1(a) and, on the Vesting Date, the Committee will
procure the allotment or transfer to each Participant of the number of Shares so
determined.

(c) Where new Shares are allotted upon the Vesting of any Award, the Company shall, as soon
as practicable after such allotment, apply to the Sponsor and/or the SGX-ST and any other
stock exchange on which the Shares are quoted or listed for permission to deal in and for
quotation of such Shares.

7.2 Release of Award

On Vesting of the Award, after the end of each Performance Period, the Committee has the
discretion to determine whether to issue new Shares or to procure the transfer of existing
Shares, or a combination of both methods to the Participant. Shares which are allotted or
transferred on the Release of an Award to a Participant shall be issued in the name of, or
transferred to, CDP to the credit of the securities account of that Participant maintained with CDP
or the securities sub-account of that Participant maintained with a Depository Agent, in each
case, as designated by that Participant.

APPENDIX C RULES OF THE CHEWS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

7.3 Ranking of Shares

New Shares issued and allotted, and existing Shares procured by the Company for transfer, on
the Release of an Award shall:

Company (including provisions relating to the liquidation of the Company); and

(b) 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 relevant Vesting Date, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other
existing Shares then in issue.

Record Date means the date fixed by the Company for the purposes of determining
entitlements to dividends or other distributions to or rights of holders of Shares.

7.4 Cash Awards

The Committee, in its absolute discretion, may determine to make a Release of an Award, wholly
or partly, in the form of cash rather than Shares, in which event the Participant shall receive on
the Vesting Date, in lieu of all or part of the Shares which would otherwise have been allotted or
transferred to him on Release of his Award, the aggregate Market Value of such Shares on the
Vesting Date.

7.5 Moratorium

Shares which are issued and allotted or transferred to a Participant pursuant to the Release of
an Award shall not be transferred, charged, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, in
whole or in part, during the Retention Period, except to the extent set out in the Award Letter or
with the prior approval of the Committee. The Company may take steps that it considers
necessary or appropriate to enforce or give effect to this disposal restriction including specifying
in the Award Letter the conditions which are to be attached to an Award for the purpose of
enforcing this disposal restriction.

8. LIMITATIONS ON THE SIZE OF THE PLAN

within particular sections of the relevant Option Period, as the Committee may from time to time
determine.

7. ACCEPTANCE OF OFFER

7.1 An Option shall be personal to the Participant to whom it is granted and shall not be transferred
(other than to a Participants personal representative on the death of that Participant), charged,
assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, unless with the prior approval
in writing of the Committee.

D-6
APPENDIX D RULES OF THE CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

7.2 The closing date for the acceptance for the grant of any Option under this Rule 7 shall not be less
than 15 days and not more than 30 days from the Offering Date of that Option. The grant of an
Option must be accepted by completing, signing and returning of the Acceptance Form in or
substantially in the form set out in Schedule B, subject to such modification as the Committee
may from time to time determine, accompanied by payment of S$1.00 as consideration or such
other amount and such other documentation as the Committee may require. The Option is
deemed not accepted until actual receipt by the Company of the Acceptance Form.

7.3 Unless the Committee determines otherwise, an Option shall automatically lapse and become
null, void and of no effect and shall not be capable of acceptance if:

(i) a grant of an Option is not accepted strictly in the manner as provided in Rule 7.2, such
offer being within the Acceptance Period; or

(ii) the Grantee dies prior to his acceptance of the Option; or

(iii) the Grantee is adjudicated a bankrupt or enters into composition with his creditors prior to
his acceptance of the Option; or

(iv) the Grantee being an Executive Director or, as the case may be, an Employee ceases to
be in the employment of the Group or (being a Non-Executive Director) ceases to be a
Director of the Company, in each case, for any reason whatsoever prior to his acceptance
of the Option; or

(v) the Company is liquidated or wound-up prior to the Grantees acceptance of the Option.

7.4 The Company shall be entitled at its absolute discretion to reject any purported acceptance of
a grant of an Option made pursuant to this Rule 7 or Exercise Notice given pursuant to Rule 11
which does not strictly comply with the terms of this Share Option Scheme. In the event that an
Option results in a contravention of any applicable law or regulation, such grant shall be null and
void and of no effect and the relevant Participant shall have no claim whatsoever against the
Company.

8. EXERCISE PRICE

8.1 Subject to any adjustment pursuant to Rule 12, the Exercise Price for each Share in respect of
which a Market Price Option is exercisable shall be determined by the Committee at its absolute
discretion, and fixed by the Committee at a price (the Market Price) equal to the average of the
last dealt prices for a Share, as determined by reference to the daily official list or other
publication published by the SGX-ST for the five (5) consecutive Market Days immediately
preceding the Offering Date of that Option, rounded up to the nearest whole cent in the event of
fractional prices provided in the case of a Market Price Option that is proposed to be granted to
a Controlling Shareholder or an Associate of a Controlling Shareholder, the Exercise Price for
each Share shall be equal to the average of the last dealt process for a Share, as determined
by reference to the daily official list published by the SGX-ST, for the five (5) consecutive Market
Days immediately preceding the latest practicable date prior to the date of any circular, letter or
notice to the Shareholders proposing to seek their approval of the grant of such Options to such
Controlling Shareholder or Associate of a Controlling Shareholder.

8.2 Subject to any adjustment pursuant to Rule 12, the Exercise Price for each Share in respect of
which an Incentive Option is exercisable shall be determined by the Committee at its absolute

D-7
APPENDIX D RULES OF THE CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

discretion, and fixed by the Committee at a price which is set at a discount to the Market Price
(as determined in accordance with Rule 8.1), provided that:

(i) the maximum discount shall not exceed 20% of the Market Price (or such other percentage
or amount as may be prescribed or permitted for the time being by the SGX-ST). In
determining the quantum of such discount, the Committee shall take into consideration
such criteria as the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, deem appropriate including
but not limited to:

(1) the performance of the Company and the Group, taking into account financial
considerations such as the Groups sales/revenue, profit and performance targets;

(2) the individual performance of the Participant, his effectiveness and contribution to the
success and development of the Company and/or the Group; and

(3) the potential for future contribution by the Participant to the success and development
of the Group.

(ii) the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting shall have been
obtained for the making of offers and grants of Options under this Share Option Scheme
at a discount not exceeding the maximum discount as aforesaid (for the avoidance of
doubt, such prior approval shall be required to be obtained only once and, once obtained,
shall, unless revoked, authorise the making of offers and grants of Options under this
Share Option Scheme at such discount for the duration of this Share Option Scheme),
rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

8.3 The Committee, at its absolute discretion, may also consider granting Incentive Options at up to
20% discount to the Market Price of the Option Shares under circumstances including, but not
limited to, the following:

(i) to enable the Group to offer competitive remuneration packages in the event that the
practice of granting options with exercise prices that have a discount element becomes a
general market norm. As share options become more significant components of executive
remuneration packages, a discretion to grant options with discounted prices will provide the
Group with a means to maintain the competitiveness of the Groups compensation
strategy; and/or

(ii) where the Group needs to provide more compelling motivation for specific business units
to improve their performance, grants of share options with discounted exercise prices will
help to align the interest of Employees to those of shareholders by encouraging them to
focus more on profitability and returns of the Group above a certain level that will benefit
all shareholders when these are eventually reflected through an appreciation of the Share
price, as such options granted at a discount would be perceived more positively by the
Employees who receive such options.

The Committee will determine on a case-by-case basis whether a discount will be given, and the
quantum of the discount, taking into consideration the objective that is desired to be achieved by
the Group and the prevailing market conditions. As the actual discount given will depend on the
relevant circumstances, the extent of the discount may vary from one case to another, subject
to a maximum discount of 20% of the Market Price of an Option Share.

9. EXERCISE OF OPTION

9.1 Except as provided in this Rule 9 and Rule 10 and any other conditions as may be introduced
by the Committee from time to time, each Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, as
follows:

(i) in the case of a Market Price Option, during the period commencing after the first
anniversary of the Offering Date and expiring on the tenth anniversary of such Offering
Date, provided that in the case of a Market Price Option which is granted to a Participant
not holding a salaried office or employment in the Group, such Option Period shall expire
on the fifth anniversary of such Offering Date; and

(ii) in the case of an Incentive Option, during the period commencing after the second
anniversary of the Offering Date and expiring on the tenth anniversary of such Offering
Date, provided that in the case of an Incentive Option which is granted to a Participant not
holding a salaried office or employment in the Group, such Option Period shall expire on
the fifth anniversary of such Offering Date.

9.2 In the event of an Option being exercised in part only, the balance of the Option not thereby
exercised shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with this Share Option Scheme until
such time as it shall lapse in accordance with the Rules of this Share Option Scheme.

9.3 Subject to Rule 9.4, an Option shall, to the extent unexercised, immediately lapse and become
null and void and a Participant shall have no claim against the Company:

(i) upon the bankruptcy of the Participant or the happening of any other event which results
in his being deprived of the legal or beneficial ownership of such Option; or

(ii) in the event of misconduct on the part of the Participant, as determined by the Committee
in its absolute discretion; or

(iii) subject to Rules 9.4 and 9.5, upon the Participant ceasing to be in full-time employment of
the Group, for any reason whatsoever; or

(iv) in the event that the Committee shall, at its sole and absolute discretion, deem it
appropriate that such Option granted to a Participant shall so lapse on the grounds that any
of the objectives of this Share Option Scheme (as set out in Rule 3) have not been met.

For the purpose of Rule 9.3(iii), the Participant shall be deemed to have ceased to be so
employed as of the earlier of the date of the Participants notice of resignation of employment or
the cessation of his employment/appointment with the Group.

9.4 Where a Participant who is an Executive Director ceases to be an Employee of the Group due
to a change in control of the Board, he shall, notwithstanding Rule 9.3, be entitled to exercise in
full all unexercised Options from the last date of employment with the Group until the end of the
relevant Option Period.

9.5 If a Participant dies and at the date of his death holds any unexercised Option, such Option may,
at the absolute discretion of the Committee, be fully exercisable by the duly appointed legal
personal representatives of the Participant from the date of his death to the end of the relevant
Option Period and upon the expiry of such period, the Option shall immediately lapse and
become null and void.

D-9
APPENDIX D RULES OF THE CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

10. TAKE-OVER AND WINDING-UP OF THE COMPANY

10.1 Notwithstanding Rule 9 but subject to Rule 10.5, in the event of a take-over being made for the
Shares, a Participant (including Participants holding Options which are then not exercisable
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 9.1) shall be entitled to exercise in full or in part any Option
held by him and as yet unexercised, in the period commencing on the date on which such offer
is made or, if such offer is conditional, the date on which such offer becomes or is declared
unconditional, as the case may be, and ending on the earlier of:

(i) the expiry of six (6) months thereafter, unless prior to the expiry of such six (6) month
period, at the recommendation of the offeror and with the approvals of the Committee and
the SGX-ST, such expiry date is extended to a later date (being a date falling not later than
the date of expiry of the Option Period relating thereto); or

(ii) the date of the expiry of the Option Period relating thereto,

whereupon any Option then remaining unexercised shall immediately lapse and become null
and void.

Provided always that if during such period the offeror becomes entitled or bound to exercise the
rights of compulsory acquisition of the Shares under the provisions of the Act and, being entitled
to do so, gives notice to the Participants that it intends to exercise such rights on a specified
date, the Option shall remain exercisable by the Participants until such specified date or the
expiry of the Option Period relating thereto, whichever is earlier. Any Option not so exercised by
the said specified date shall lapse and become null and void provided that the rights of
acquisition or obligation to acquire shall have been exercised or performed, as the case may be.
If such rights of acquisition or obligations have not been exercised or performed, all Options shall
subject to Rule 9 remain exercisable until the expiry of the Option Period relating thereto.

10.2 If under the Act, the court sanctions a compromise or arrangement proposed for the purposes
of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation
with another company or companies, each Participant (including Participants holding Options
which are then not exercisable pursuant to the provisions of Rule 9.1) shall be entitled,
notwithstanding Rule 9 but subject to Rule 10.5, to exercise any Option then held by him during
the period commencing on the date upon which the compromise or arrangement is sanctioned
by the court and ending either on the expiry of 60 days thereafter or the date upon which the
compromise or arrangement becomes effective, whichever is later (but not after the expiry of the
Option period relating thereto), whereupon the Option shall lapse and become null and void.

10.3 If an order is made for the winding-up of the Company on the basis of its insolvency, all Options
to the extent unexercised, shall lapse and become null and void.

10.4 In the event of a members voluntary winding-up (other than amalgamation or reconstruction),
the Participants (including Participants holding Options which are not exercisable pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 9.1) shall be entitled within 30 days of the passing of the resolution of such
winding-up (but not after the expiry of the Option Period relating thereto), to exercise any
unexercised Option, after which period such unexercised Option shall lapse and become null
and void.

10.5 If in connection with the making of a general offer referred to in Rule 10.1 or this Share Option
Scheme referred to in Rule 10.2 or the winding-up referred to in Rule 10.4, arrangements are
made (which are confirmed in writing by the Auditors, acting only as experts and not as

D-10
APPENDIX D RULES OF THE CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

arbitrators, to be fair and reasonable) for the compensation of Participants, whether by the
continuation of their Options or the payment of cash or the grant of other Options or otherwise,
a Participant holding an Option, as yet not exercised, may not, at the discretion of the
Committee, be permitted to exercise that Option as provided for in this Rule 10.

10.6 To the extent that an Option is not exercised within the periods referred to in this Rule 10, it shall
lapse and become null and void.

11. MANNER OF EXERCISE

11.1 An Option may be exercised during the Option Period, in whole or in part (provided that an
Option may be exercised in part only in respect of 1,000 Shares or any multiples thereof), by a
Participant giving notice in writing to the Company in or substantially in the form set out in
Schedule C (the Exercise Notice), each case being subject to such modifications as the
Committee may from time to time determine. Every Exercise Notice must be accompanied by a
remittance for the full amount of the aggregate Exercise Price in respect of the Shares which
have been exercised under the Option, the relevant CDP charges (if any) and any other
documentation the Committee may require. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon the
receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice duly completed, the relevant documentation
required by the Committee and the aggregate Exercise Price.

11.2 All payments shall be made by cheque, cashiers order, bank draft or postal order made out in
favour of the Company or such other mode of payment as may be acceptable to the Company.

11.3 Subject to:

(i) such consents or other required actions of any competent authority under any regulations
or enactments for the time being in force as may be necessary (including any approvals
required from the SGX-ST); and

(ii) compliance with the Rules of this Share Option Scheme and the Memorandum and Articles
of Association of the Company,

the Company shall have the discretion to determine whether to issue new Shares or to procure
the transfer of existing Shares, or a combination of both methods to the Participant and shall, as
soon as practicable after the exercise of an Option by a Participant but in any event within ten
(10) Market Days after the date of the exercise of the Option in accordance with Rule 11.1, allot
or transfer the relevant Shares and within five (5) Market Days from the date of such allotment
and transfer, dispatch the relevant share certificates to CDP for the credit of the securities
account of that Participant by ordinary post or such other mode of delivery as the Committee
may deem fit.

11.4 The Company shall as soon as practicable after the exercise of an Option, apply to the Sponsor
and/or the SGX-ST and any other stock exchange on which the Shares are quoted or listed for
permission to deal in and for quotation of the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the
Option and the Shares (if any) which may be issued to the Participant pursuant to any
adjustments made in accordance with Rule 12.

11.5 Shares which are allotted or transferred on the exercise of an Option by a Participant shall be
issued in or transferred to, as the Participant may elect, the name of CDP to the credit of the

D-11
APPENDIX D RULES OF THE CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

securities account of the Participant maintained with CDP, the Participants securities sub-
account with a CDP Depository Agent or the CPF investment account maintained with a CPF
agent bank.

11.6 Shares issued and allotted and existing Shares transferred upon the exercise of an Option shall
be subject to all provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and
shall rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing issued Shares in the capital of the
Company except for any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions, the record date of
which is prior to the date such Option is exercised.

11.7 The Company shall keep available sufficient unissued Shares to satisfy the full exercise of all
Options for the time being remaining capable of being exercised.

11.8 Except as set out in Rule 11.3 and subject to Rule 12, an Option does not confer on a Participant
any right to participate in any new issue of Shares.

12. ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

12.1 If a variation in the issued share capital of the Company (whether by way of rights issue or
capitalisation of profits or reserves, reduction of capital, or subdivision, consolidation or
distribution, or issues for cash or for shares or otherwise than for cash or otherwise howsoever)
should take place, then:

(i) the Exercise Price in respect of the Shares comprised in the Option to the extent
unexercised; and/or

(ii) the class and/or number of Shares comprised in the Option to the extent unexercised and
the rights attached thereto; and/or

(iii) the class and/or number of Shares in respect of which additional Options may be granted
to Participants,

shall, at the option of the Committee, be adjusted in such manner as the Committee may
determine to be appropriate including retrospective adjustments where such variation occurs
after the date of exercise of an Option but the Record Date relating to such variation precedes
such date of exercise and, except in relation to a capitalisation issue, upon the written
confirmation of the Auditors (acting only as experts and not as arbitrators), that in their opinion,
such adjustment is fair and reasonable. For this purpose, Record Date means the date as at
the close of business on which shareholders must be registered in order to participate in any
dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions (as the case may be).

12.2 Unless the Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate, the following shall not be
regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment under the provisions of this Rule 12:

(i) the issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition of any assets or private
placement of securities by the Company; and

(ii) the cancellation of issued Shares purchased or acquired by the Company by way of a
market purchase of such Shares undertaken by the Company on Catalist during the period
when a share purchase mandate granted by shareholders of the Company (including any
renewal of such mandate) is in force.

D-12
APPENDIX D RULES OF THE CHEWS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

12.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 12.1 above:

(a) no such adjustment shall be made if as a result the Participant receives a benefit that a
shareholder does not receive; and

(b) any determination by the Committee as to whether to make any adjustment and if so, the
manner in which such adjustment should be made, must (except in relation to a
capitalisation issue) be confirmed in writing by the Auditors (acting only as experts and not
as arbitrators) to be in their opinion, fair and reasonable.

12.4 Upon any adjustment required to be made, the Company shall notify each Participant (or his duly
appointed personal representative(s)) in writing and deliver to him (or, where applicable, his duly
appointed personal representative(s)) a statement setting forth the new Exercise Price thereafter
in effect and the class and/or number of Shares thereafter comprised in the Option so far as
unexercised and the maximum entitlement in any one Financial Year. Any adjustment shall take
effect upon such written notification being given.

12.5 The restriction on the number of Shares to be offered to any Grantee under Rule 5 above, shall
not apply to the number of additional Shares or Options over additional Shares issued by virtue
of any adjustment to the number of Shares and/or Options pursuant to this Rule 12.

13. ADMINISTRATION

stated in the records of the Company or the last known address of the Participant, and if sent by
