SINGAPORE, 5 August 2010 – SGX-Catalist listed Rokko Holdings Ltd (“Rokko” or

the “Company”) said today that its net profit after tax for the financial period ended 30
June 2010 (“1H2010”) soared to S$2.9M, reversing from a loss of S$1.2M for the
financial period ended 30 June 2009 (“1H2009”), due to pent-up demand in the global
semiconductor industry in the second half of FY2009.

Announcing its best-ever half-year performance since it was listed in October 2007,
homegrown Rokko said its 1H2010 revenue nearly trebled to S$22.2M from S$5.6M in
1H2009, due to strong demand from its major customers for its specialised
semiconductor equipment and connectors used by the electronics manufacturers.

The Equipment Division, which contributed 62.2% of the Group’s revenue in 1H2010,
recorded a revenue of S$13.8M, 400% higher as compared to S$2.7M in 1H2009, due
to significantly higher capital expenditure by its semiconductor customers. Revenue
from the Stamping Division, which contributed 25.3% of the Group’s revenue in
1H2010, increased three-fold while that of the Tooling Division grew 73%.

Gross profit soared nearly 400% to S$6.8M in 1H2010 from S$1.4M in 1H2009 and
gross profit margin improved from 24.9% in 1H2009 to 30.7% in 1H2010, due to better
capacity utilisation in both the Stamping and Tooling Divisions.

Rokko recorded net profit before tax of S$3.4M in 1H2010, a stark contrast from a loss
of S$1.2M in 1H2009.

With a net profit after tax of S$2.9M, its earning per share rose to 1.92 cents in
1H2010, from negative 0.82 cents in 1H2009. Net asset value per share increased to
14.7 cents as at 30 June 2010 from 13.3 cents as at 31 December 2009.

To reward shareholders for its strong performance, Rokko declared a one-tier (tax
exempt) interim dividend of 0.5 cent per ordinary share, which is approximately 28% of
its net profit after tax for 1H2010.

Commenting on the outlook of the Group, Rokko’s founder and Managing Director Mr
Gary Lim said that traditionally, its financial performance in second half is stronger
than the first half. Having achieved a sharp improvement in revenue and profit in
1H2010, the Group will assess the performance for the second half of FY2010
(“2H2010”) before providing any updates on the outlook in the 4th quarter of FY2010.

As at 2 July 2010, the Group’s order book stood at approximately S$15.5M compared
to S$10.3M as at 31 December 2009, of which its main revenue driver, the Equipment
Division, accounted for approximately 70%.

Rokko foresees sustainable growth in 2H2010 as the semiconductor industry expects

continuous growth with higher consumer spending. According to the Semiconductor
Industry Association, global sales of semiconductors are forecasted to grow 28.4% to
US$290.5B in 2010 compared to US$226.3B in 2009.

The industry forecast and expected rise in capital expenditure among semiconductor
players in Asia will continue to underpin the outlook for Rokko’s FY2010 financial
performance.

“We have delivered a good set of results which underscore the strong recovery in the
semiconductor sector in line with higher consumer spending. Our strategy for success
is to remain focused on delivering quality products and to continue to focus on
research and development (“R&D”) and strong customer service,” Mr Lim said.

Following the placement of 15 million new shares on 26 May 2010 which raised about
S$2.0M in net proceeds, the Group intends to setup its manufacturing plant in the
People’s Republic of China to expand its business and continue to invest in R&D,
which is one of its core competitive edges.
