CHAIRMAN’S
MESSAGE
Dear Valued Shareholders,
ON behalf of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of

RE&S Holdings Limited (“RE&S” or together with its
subsidiaries, the “Group”), I am pleased to present
to you our inaugural annual report for the financial
period ended 30 June 2018 (“FY2018”) as our Group
celebrated its 30 years of gastronomic journey.
The roots of RE&S stretch back to 1988 when

Hiroshi Tatara, our President and Executive Director,
incorporated RE&S and opened Fiesta, one of the
first conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Singapore.
Since then, we have come a long way to where we are
today – a household name in Singapore, with a diverse
portfolio comprising 20 distinct brands covering the
full spectrum of Japanese dining. From fine dining
(Kuriya Dining) to specialty concepts (Shimbashi
Soba), from casual restaurants (Ichiban Boshi) to
convenience kiosks (Kuriya Japanese Market), our
82 stores in Singapore and Malaysia always aim
to deliver the best Japanese dining experience to
millions of customers year after year.
Our operations are supported by our ISO

22000-certified Central Kitchen (“CK”), which is
equipped with food processing technologies to
enhance product quality and increase restaurant

CEO’S
STATEMENT Dear Shareholders,
FY2018 has been a year of major milestones for RE&S.

It is a year of new beginnings as we celebrated our
successful listing on SGX Catalist. It is also a year of
reflections as we commemorated our 30th anniversary
of delivering quality Japanese dining experience.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
For FY2018, RE&S recorded revenue of S$142.3
million, up 1.0% from S$140.9 million in the previous
corresponding period (“FY2017”). This was mainly due
to contribution from the Quick Service Restaurants,
Convenience and Others (“QSR”) segment, which
grew by 10.8% year-on-year to S$39.9 million.
The Full-Service Restaurants (“FSR”) segment is
still the main revenue contributor, although sales
declined 2.4% to S$102.4 million in FY2018, from
S$104.8 million in FY2017.
Cost rationalisation and process streamlining have

been our key focus areas as we gear up for growth.
These efforts have paid off as we managed to reduce
our cost of goods sold, comprising raw materials
and consumables used, from 28.1% of revenue in
FY2017 to 27.5% in FY2018.
Operating expenses, such as employee benefits,

operating lease, depreciation and other expenses,
increased in line with our local expansion. Included in
other expenses were IPO-related expenses of S$1.1
million. As a result, net profit attributable to owners
of the Company decreased by 37.3% or S$2.1
million, from S$5.7 million in FY2017 to S$3.6 million
in FY2018.
YEAR IN REVIEW
Overall, our business has seen steady growth in
FY2018. We opened 14 new stores across Singapore,
bringing our total footprint to 82 stores island-wide,
further consolidating our position as market leader
in Japanese dining. Of these, 10 stores are under
the QSR segment and four stores are under the
FSR segment.

Other than the Administration Committee, each of the rest of the Board Committees has its own
defined scope of duties and written terms of reference (the “TOR”) setting out the manner in which
it is to function and operate. The effectiveness of each Board Committee is constantly monitored

or disposal of assets, corporate or financial restructuring, share issuance, interim dividends and
substantial transactions which have a material impact on the Group. Management understands that

operational efficiency.
Training of Directors
Upon appointment as a Director of the Company, a formal letter of appointment is provided to each
new Director setting out his roles, responsibilities and obligations as a member of the Board. The
new Directors have also met with the Management of the Company and were briefed on the Group’s
business, operations, structure as well as its history, core values, strategic directions, industry specific
knowledge and the Group’s governance practices relating to, inter alia, disclosure of interests in the
Company’s securities, prohibition on dealings in the Company’s securities and restrictions on the
disclosure of price sensitive information.

REPORT
From time to time, the Group’s internal and external auditors, legal advisors and the Company
Secretary may update or conduct briefings for the Directors on changes to the listing rules or to the
laws and guidance pertaining to corporate governance practices, risk management, insider trading
and financial reporting standards so that the Directors may discharge their fiduciary duties effectively.
In addition, articles, press releases, reports released by SGX and ACRA which are relevant to the
Group are circulated to the Board.
All the Independent Directors newly appointed to the Board in FY2018 have experience as Directors
of listed companies.
The Group welcomes Directors to seek explanations or clarifications from and/or request for informal
discussions with the Management on any aspect of the Group’s operations or business. The Group
is responsible for encouraging and funding the training of its Directors to enhance their skills and
knowledge and will provide the budget and ongoing opportunities for the Directors to receive further
training.
Board Composition and Balance
Principle 2: There shall be a strong and independent element on the Board, which is
able to exercise objective judgement on corporate affairs independently, in particular,
from Management and 10% shareholders. No individual or small group of individuals
should be allowed to dominate the Board’s decision-making.
The Board currently comprises five (5) Directors of whom two (2) are Executive Directors and three
(3) are Independent Directors. They are as follows:
Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong (Non-Executive Chairman and Independent Director)
Mr. Hiroshi Tatara (Executive Director and President)
Mr. Yek Hong Liat John (Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer)
Mr. Lee Lap Wah, George (Independent Director)
Mr. Guok Chin Huat Samuel (Independent Director)
There is no alternate Director on the Board.
Independence of Directors
The Board has a strong independent element as three (3) out of five (5) Directors are independent.
In addition, the Board has an Independent Chairman.
The criteria for independence are defined in the Code and the independence of each of the Directors
is reviewed by the NC. The Board considers an Independent Director as one who has no relationship
with the Company, its related companies, its Officers or its 10% shareholders that could interfere,
or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of his independent judgement in the best
interest of the Company and the Group. The NC had reviewed the independence of each Independent
Director and is of the view that these Directors are independent.
26
REPORT
There is no Independent Director who has served beyond 9 years since the date of his first
appointment.
The Board considers that the current size and composition of the Board, which will be reviewed by
the NC from time to time, has the appropriate balance of Independent and Executive Directors, taking
into account the nature and scope of the Group’s business and operations, that will be conducive to
effective decision-making.
The Board and its Board Committees comprise respected individuals from diverse backgrounds
with core competencies in accounting or finance, business and management, real estate, industry
knowledge, strategic planning expertise and customer-based experience. There is a balance of skills,
experience and background that will provide competent and effective stewardship of shareholders’
interest and governance of the Group’s business.
The Independent Directors exercise no management function in the Group.
The role of the Independent Directors is to review Management’s performance, monitor the reporting
of the Group’s performance by the Management and constructively challenge and help to develop
strategic goals. On a need-to basis, Independent Directors may meet privately without the presence
of Management to review any matter as an appropriate check and balance on the Group’s operations
and performance.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Principle 3: There should be a clear division of responsibilities between the leadership

of the Board and the executives responsible for managing the company’s business. No
individual should represent a considerable concentration of power.
The Company has a separate Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”).
Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong, an Independent Director, is the Chairman of the Board. He is responsible
for the high standards of corporate governance, ensuring a rigorous compliance with the Code as he
leads the Board in providing the strategic direction for the Group’s operations through constructive
and participative relations with Management and facilitates the effective contribution of Independent
Directors. He also sets the Board’s meeting agendas in consultation with the Company Secretary,
ensuring that the Directors receive accurate, timely and clear information in preparation for each
meeting, facilitates a balance of viewpoints and perspectives in Board discussions between the
Executive and Independent Directors and ensure effective communication with shareholders.
Mr. Yek Hong Liat John, the CEO and Executive Director of the Company is also a controlling
shareholder of the Company. He leads the Management of the Group in its business operations,
development, performance and growth, ensuring that objectives are achieved through the effective
working relationship and communications between the Board and Management of the Company.

REPORT
There is a clear balance of authority and decision making in the alignment of responsibilities between
the Board and Management to ensure that no individual holds a concentration of power.
The AC, NC, RC and the Administration Committee are all chaired by Independent Directors.
Given the independence of the Chairman and the strong independent element of the Board to enable
the exercise of independent and objective judgement on corporate affairs of the Group, the Board
is of the view that there are adequate checks and balances in place to ensure that the process of
decision-making by the Board is based on collective decision of Directors, without any concentration
of power residing in any individual. In view thereof, there is no need for the Company to have a lead
Independent Director.
The Independent Directors meet periodically without the presence of the other Directors and
Management where necessary and provide feedback to the Chairman after such meetings.
Board Membership
Principle 4: There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment and
reappointment of directors to the Board.
The Board through the delegation of its authority to the NC has ensured that there is a formal and
transparent process in the appointment and re-appointment of Directors who possess the relevant
background, experience and knowledge in business, finance and management skills.
The NC currently comprises three (3) Independent Directors as follows:
Mr. Lee Lap Wah, George (Chairman)
Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong
The responsibilities of the NC in accordance with its TOR are as follows:

substantial shareholders of the Company and proposed terms of their employment;

circumstances which would deem a Director not independent;
28

(f) Review succession plans for Directors, in particular, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer and Key Management Personnel;
(g) Review the Directors’ mix of skills, experience, gender, core competencies and knowledge of

(j) Address how the Board has enhanced long-term shareholders’ value and assess the contribution
of each Director to the effectiveness of the Board.
Selection, Appointment and Re-appointment of Directors
The NC is responsible for identifying and selecting potential new Directors based on their core
competencies and relevant experience critical to the Group’s business and may engage professional
consultants and independent experts to undertake research on or assess candidates for new positions
on the Board. The search criteria include integrity, diversity and the ability to commit time and referrals
or recommendations from personal contacts and business associates may also be sought. The NC
meets with the short-listed Board candidates to assess their suitability and availability. The NC then
makes recommendations to the Board for its consideration and approval.
In accordance with Article 97 of the Company’s Constitution, all Directors shall retire from office at
the Company’s Annual General Meeting (the “AGM”) at least once every three (3) years by rotation.
The retiring Directors are eligible to offer themselves for re-election.
In accordance with Article 103 of the Company’s Constitution, new Directors are appointed by way
of a Board resolution following which they are subject to re-election at the AGM. A retiring Director
shall be eligible for re-election at the AGM at which he retires.
The NC had recommended to the Board that all the newly appointed Directors, be nominated for
re-election at the forthcoming AGM. The Board had accepted the NC’s recommendation.
Each member of the NC shall abstain for voting on any resolutions in respect of his re-nomination
as a Director.

REPORT
Directors’ time commitments and Multiple Directorships
Despite some of the Directors having other Board representations, the NC is satisfied that the
Directors with multiple listed company board representation are able to devote sufficient time to the
affairs of the Company and contribute significant expertise through their governance and guidance
on the operational and financial performance of the Group. Currently, the maximum number of listed
company board representations for the Directors is set at 6.
The key information regarding the Directors up to the date of this report is disclosed in the “Board
of Directors” section on pages 6 to 10 of the Annual Report.
Board Performance
Principle 5: There shall be a formal annual assessment of the effectiveness of the

Board as a whole and its Board committees and the contribution by each director to
the effectiveness of the Board.
The NC is responsible for recommending and implementing a process to assess the performance
and effectiveness of the Board as a whole and its Board Committees as well as evaluating the
performance of each Director in his contribution to the effectiveness of the Board. This is carried out
on an annual basis.
Assessment and evaluation forms designed as a questionnaire have been developed and adopted
for the process to determine the strengths and capabilities of the Board, the Board Committees
and each of the Directors based on size and composition of the Board, attendance, participation in
constructive discussions and communication, quality of decision making, timeliness of board papers,
conduct, internal controls and other specific criteria relevant to the determination of efficacies. The
forms including a section on self-assessment were completed by the Directors and were then collated
by the Company Secretary and presented to the NC as a summary report.
The performance criteria will not be changed from year to year unless circumstances deem it
necessary for any of the criteria to be changed and the onus should be on the Board to justify the
decision. As the Company was newly listed, the NC will review the need for industry peer comparison
criteria in the Board evaluation when appropriate.
Following the evaluation exercise for FY2018, the NC is satisfied that the Board, its Board Committees
and each of the Directors are performing effectively and have met their respective performance
objectives. All NC members have abstained from the voting and review of any matter in connection
with the assessment of his performance. No external facilitator was engaged for the evaluation
exercise.

responsibilities.
Board members are provided with adequate and timely information prior to all Board and Board

REPORT
Level and Mix of Remuneration
Principle 8: The level and structure of remuneration should be aligned with the long-
term interest and risk policies of the company, and should be appropriate to attract,
retain and motivate (a) the directors to provide good stewardship of the company,
and (b) key management personnel to successfully manage the company. However,
companies should avoid paying more than is necessary for this purpose.
The remuneration policy of the Company is designed to align the interest of Executive Directors and
Key Management Personnel with those of shareholders and the long term success of the Group. The
policy seeks to attract, motivate and retain key employees with competitive remuneration packages
base on the scope of the employee’s responsibilities, prevailing market conditions and comparable
industry benchmarks.
In determining remuneration packages, the RC takes into consideration the Code’s principles and
guidelines on the level and mix of remuneration and ensures that a proportion of the remuneration is
linked to the individual’s and the Group’s performance. The Company has formulated a remuneration
policy that sets a base salary as a fixed component of the remuneration and a variable bonus linked
to the performance of the Company and the employee.
Annual review of the remuneration including the variable bonus of Key Management Personnel and
Executive Directors are conducted by the RC to ensure that the remuneration is commensurate with
the performance of each employee, taking into account the respective key performance indicators
and the Group’s financial results and risk policies.
Independent Directors do not have service agreements with the Company and each Independent
Director receives a fee for serving on the Board and Board Committees based on his contributions
including his time commitment and the scope of his responsibilities, subject to the approval of the
shareholders at an AGM. The Directors’ fees are reviewed by the RC and recommended to the Board
which is of the view that the Independent Directors are not over compensated to the extent that their
independence may be compromised.
The Executive Directors do not receive Director’s fees.
The Company does not use contractual provisions to allow the Company to reclaim incentive
components of remuneration from Executive Directors and Key Management Personnel in exceptional
circumstances of misstatement of financial results or misconduct resulting in financial loss to the
Company. The Company will avail itself of legal processes for recovery against the employees. As
Executive Directors owe a fiduciary duty to the Company, the Company may avail itself of legal
remedies in the event of such breach of fiduciary duties.
The Company has on 26 October 2017 adopted the RE&S Employee Share Option Scheme (the “ESOS”)
as set out in the Company’s offer document dated 15 November 2017 (the “Offer Document”). Eligible
participants (the “Participants”) under the ESOS will have the opportunity to participate in the equity of the
Company so that their interests are aligned with the interests of the Company and the shareholders and they
are motivated towards better performance and the long-term growth and profitability of the Group. The ESOS
also enables the Group greater flexibility in structuring compensation packages of eligible Participants so

that the Group is able to offer compensation packages that are competitive in order to motivate and retain
its employees. The Independent Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company are eligible
to participate in the ESOS which is designed to reward and retain the participants and to foster a long
term commitment and dedication to the business of the Group. The Executive Directors being controlling
shareholders of the Company are not eligible to participate in the ESOS.
The ESOS will be administered by the Administration Committee comprising members of the NC
and RC, namely Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong, Mr. Lee Lap Wah, George and Mr. Guok Chin Huat
Samuel. In compliance with the requirements of the Catalist Rules, a Participant who is a member of
Administration Committee shall not be involved in the deliberation or decision in respect of the ESOS
options to be granted to that member of the Administration Committee.
The ESOS shall continue in force at the discretion of the Administration Committee, subject to a
maximum period of 10 years commencing on the date on which the ESOS was adopted by the
Company in a general meeting, provided always that the ESOS may continue beyond the above
stipulated period with the approval of its shareholders by ordinary resolution in a general meeting
and of any relevant authorities which may then be required.
As at the date of this report, no options have been granted under the ESOS since its commencement.
Disclosure on Remuneration
Principle 9: Every company should provide clear disclosure of its remuneration policies,
level and mix of remuneration, and the procedure for setting remuneration, in the
company’s Annual Report. It should provide disclosure in relation to remuneration
policies to enable investors to understand the link between remuneration paid to
directors and key management personnel, and performance.
A breakdown showing the level and mix of each Director’s and Key Management Personnel’s
remuneration for FY2018 is set out below:

34
REPORT
The Company is of the view that in a small and medium-sized enterprise environment, disclosure of
the Directors’ remuneration in bands of S$250,000 should be sufficient to provide an insight into the
link between compensation and performance of the Directors and further details are deemed to be
not in the interest of the Company due the sensitivities and confidentiality of remuneration.
Performance
Name of Key Management Personnel Salary (%) Bonus (%) Total (%)
S$250,000 – S$500,000
Mr. Foo Kah Lee,
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) 82.50 17.50 100.00
Mr. Eddie Tang Yew Kong,
Chief Operating Officer 89.50 10.50 100.00
Below S$250,000
Mr. Lim Shyang Zheng,
Chief Supply Chain Officer and Deputy Director 89.50 10.50 100.00
Notwithstanding Guideline 9.3 of the CG2012, there were only three Key Management Personnel
(who are not Directors or the CEO) during FY2018. The aggregate total remuneration paid to the
above Key Management Personnel amounted to S$716,320 for FY2018.
There is no termination, retirement or post-employment benefits granted to Directors and Key

Management Personnel.
Although the Code recommends full disclosure by the Company of the exact remuneration of its
Directors, CEO and top five (5) Key Management Personnel on a named basis, the Company is of
the view that it is not in its best interest to disclose confidential details of remuneration due to the
competitiveness of the industry for key talent.
The Company does not have employees who are immediate family members of a Director or the CEO
whose remuneration exceeds S$50,000 during FY2018.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT

Accountability
Principle 10: The Board should present a balanced and understandable assessment of
the company’s performance, position and prospects.
In compliance with the Catalist Rules on the Company’s disclosure obligations, the Company ensures
that its shareholders are informed of all major developments, financials and price sensitive information
relating to the Group on a timely basis through SGXNET and the press.
Accountability to the shareholders is demonstrated through the presentation of the Group’s quarterly
and annual financial statements, results announcements, press release and all other announcements
on the Group’s business and operations.

REPORT
The Board embraces open-ness and transparency in the conduct of the Company’s affairs.
Management maintains regular contact and communication with and makes available to the Directors
the management accounts and other financial statements as and when required so that the Board
may monitor the Group’s position and present a balanced and understandable assessment of the
Group’s performance and prospects to its shareholders.
Risk Management and Internal Control
Principle 11: The Board is responsible for the governance of risk. The Board should
ensure that Management maintains a sound system of risk management and internal
controls to safeguard shareholders’ interests and the company’s asset, and should
determine the nature and extent of the significant risks which the Board is willing to
take in achieving its strategic objectives.
As the Company does not have a Risk Management Committee, the Board oversees the governance
of risks in the Group and ensures that Management maintains a sound system of risk management
and internal controls to safeguard the Company’s assets and the interests of shareholders. The Board
however recognizes that no cost effective system can totally preclude against errors and irregularities
such as human errors, poor judgement in decision making, losses or fraud. The Group’s system of
internal controls and risk management therefore do not provide an absolute assurance that there will
be no adverse events or circumstances faced by the Company in its operations or results.
The Group has in place an enterprise risk management (“ERM”) framework. This ERM framework
has 4 principal risk categories, namely strategic, financial, operational and compliance risks. The
Group’s risk management framework is aligned with the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO) Internal Controls Integrated Framework.
The ERM framework enables the Company to identify risks and adopt effective and expedient
measures to control, alleviate or mitigate the risks. The ownership of the risks lies with the respective
heads of departments who will implement appropriate risk management solutions and policies and
continually monitor the risk profiles and refine the outcomes.
In FY2018, the Company’s internal auditor has conducted a review of the Group’s key strategic,
operational, financial, compliance and information technology risks and risks responses relevant to
the achievement of the Group’s objectives.
The Group’s external auditor has also carried out in the course of their statutory audit a review of the
Group’s material internal controls. The AC has noted the recommendations of both the internal and
external auditor with regards to the Company’s risk management and will monitor the effectiveness
of the actions taken by Management based on the recommendations of the auditors.
The Board has received written assurance from the CEO and the CFO that the financial records of
the Group have been properly maintained, that the financial statements give a true and fair view of
the Group’s operations and finances and that the Group’s risk management and internal controls
systems are adequate and effective.
36
REPORT
Based on the internal controls established and maintained by the Group and reviewed by Management
on an on-going basis, the review conducted by the internal auditor, the statutory audit carried out by the
external auditor, information and reports provided to the Board and the AC and the written assurance from
the CEO and CFO, the Board with the concurrence of the AC is of the opinion that for FY2018, the Group’s
internal controls addressing financial, operational, compliance risks, and the Group’s information technology
control and risk management systems were adequate and effective for FY2018.
Audit Committee
Principle 12: The Board should establish an audit committee with written terms of
reference which clearly sets out its authority and duties.
The AC currently comprises three (3) Independent Directors as follows:
Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong (Chairman)

All the AC members have recent and relevant accounting experience or related financial management
expertise. Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong, Chairman of the AC is a registered accountant and member of

The role of the AC is to assist the Board in discharging its corporate governance responsibility of
safeguarding the Group’s assets, maintaining adequate accounting records and developing and

The AC has met twice since the listing of the Company on 22 November 2017 till 30 June 2018.
Guided by its TOR, the AC has performed the following functions during FY2018:
(a) Assisted the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities on financial and reporting matters;
(b) Reviewed, with the Company’s internal and external auditors, the audit plans, scope of work,
the evaluation of the system of internal accounting controls, their management letter and
Management’s response, and results of the audits compiled by the internal and external auditors,
and shall review, at regular intervals with the Management, the implementation by the Group
of the internal control recommendations made by the internal and external auditors;
(c) Reviewed the periodic financial statements and results announcements, 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 financial reporting standards, the Catalist
Rules and any other statutory/regulatory requirements, as well as concerns and issues arising
from the audit, including any matters which the auditors may wish to discuss in the absence of the
Management, where necessary, before submission to the Board for approval;

REPORT

and the external auditor so as to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Group
and any formal announcements relating to the Group’s financial performance before their

The AC has considered the report from the external auditor including their findings and discussions
with Management on significant risks and audit focus areas which have been set out as Key Audit
Matters in the audit report for FY2018 and in pages 51 to 53 of this Annual Report.
38
REPORT
The AC will generally 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.
The AC will also undertake such other reviews and projects as may be requested by the Board and
report to the Board its findings from time to time on matters arising and requiring the attention of the AC.
The AC has full access to co-operation by Management, unrestricted access to information relating
to the Group and the full discretion to invite any Director or Management to attend its meetings.
The AC has considered the independence of the external auditor and undertaken a review of all the
non-audit services performed by the external auditor. Notwithstanding that the amount of non-audit
fees of S$200,000 paid to the external auditor for FY2018 constituted 62% of total fees paid to the
external auditor amounting to S$321,000 (including S$121,000 for audit fees), the AC is satisfied
that the non-audit fees comprised mainly a one-time non-recurring fee of S$180,000 in connection
with our IPO and does not, in the opinion of the AC, affect the independence and objectivity of the
external auditor. The aggregate amount of fees paid to the external auditor and a breakdown of the
fees paid in total for audit and non-audit services are set out in page 82 of this Annual Report.
The Company has complied with Rules 712 and 715 of the Catalist Rules in the appointment of its
external auditor and has recommended to the Board the re-appointment of RSM Chio Lim LLP as its
external auditor at the forthcoming AGM.
The AC is also authorized by the Board to investigate or commission investigations into the Group’s
accounting, auditing, internal controls, financial practices or any related matter thereto with full access
to records, resources and personnel in order to discharge its functions effectively.
The Group has in place a whistle blowing policy through which employees, external parties who have
business relations with the Company such as customers, suppliers or any other person, may, without
fear of reprisals and in good faith raise concerns or report on irregularities with regards to financial
reporting or suspected acts of misconduct or any other improprieties, through a confidential channel
and well defined process to the Chairman of the AC, the Head, Human Resource and/or the Deputy
Director. The policy has been communicated to all employees and details of the policy may also be
found at the Company’s website at www.res.com.sg. The Group is committed to a high standard of
ethics and adopts a zero tolerance approach towards fraud or other improprieties. The AC ensures
that there are unobstructed channels for investigations to be overseen by the AC, where necessary
and will review appropriate follow-up action as warranted.
No whistle blowing reports were made in FY2018.
The external auditor provide regular updates and briefings to the AC and changes to accounting
standards and other financial issues to enable the AC to keep abreast of such changes and its
corresponding impact on the financial statements, if any. The Company will arrange to send AC
members to seminars on updates to Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”), when required. In the
review of the financial statements for FY2018, the AC is of the view that the financial statements are
fairly presented in conformity with the relevant FRS of Singapore in all material respects.

REPORT
Internal Audit
Principle 13: The company should establish an effective internal audit function that is
adequately resourced and independent of the activities it audits.
The Company has outsourced its internal audit function to Nexia TS Risk Advisory Pte Ltd (“Nexia TS”),
to assist the Company in reviewing the design and effectiveness of key internal controls which
address financial, operational, compliance and information technology risks and the Company’s risk
management policy and system as a whole. Nexia TS reports directly to the AC on audit matters and
to the CEO on administrative matters.
The Board recognizes that it is responsible for maintaining a system of internal controls to safeguard
shareholders’ investments and the Group’s business and assets while Management is responsible for
implementing the internal control procedures in a timely and appropriate manner. The internal auditor
has unfettered access to the documents, records, properties and personnel of the Group including the
AC and procedures are in place for the internal auditor to report their findings and recommendations
to the AC for its review. Management will update the AC on the implementation and status of action
plans recommended by the internal auditor.
The AC will review and approve the annual internal audit plan and the appointment and remuneration of
the internal auditor to ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal audit function of the Company.
For FY2018, a comprehensive internal audit was performed and completed by Nexia TS prior to the listing
of the Company on 22 November 2017. The AC has also conducted a meeting with Nexia TS without the
presence of management to review the Company’s internal controls and risk Management.
The AC is satisfied that Nexia TS is adequately resourced and staffed by suitably qualified and
experienced professionals who have appropriate standing in the firm. Nexia TS is a member of the
Institute of Internal Auditors (‘IIA”). The internal audit work carried out is guided by the International
Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing set by IIA.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of RE&S Holdings Limited
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of RE&S Holdings Limited, (the “company”)
and its subsidiaries (the “group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
of the group and the statement of financial position of the company as at 30 June 2018, and the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in
equity and statement of cash flows of the group, and statement of changes in equity of the company
for the reporting year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the group and the statement
of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the company are properly drawn up in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 (“the Act”) and Financial Reporting
Standards in Singapore (“FRSs”) so as to give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position
of the group and the financial position of the company as at 30 June 2018 and of the consolidated
financial performance, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the group and
the changes in equity of the company for the reporting year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for
the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in
accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional
Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA
Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements of the current reporting year. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters (cont’d)
(1) Assessment of impairment of property, plant and equipment of non-performing

outlets
Refer to Note 2 for the relevant accounting policy and Note 14 for the disclosure of property,
plant and equipment.
Key Audit Matter
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was $39.9 million which represents 62%
of total assets as at the end of the reporting year.
The group operates restaurants in Singapore and Malaysia and has certain restaurant outlets
that incurred losses during the reporting year. Management performed impairment tests on
the property, plant and equipment of these outlets and determined their recoverable amounts
based on value in use calculations and net realisable value. This area was significant to our
audit because the impairment assessment involved significant management judgement and
required the management to make various assumptions in the underlying cash flow forecasts.
How we addressed the matter in our audit
Our audit procedures focused on evaluating the key assumptions and estimates used by the
management in their impairment assessment. These procedures included:
• Reviewed management’s identification of impairment indicators relating to the outlets that

incurred losses by assessing management’s review of the financial performance on the
individual outlet basis;
• Tested the robustness of management’s budgeting process by comparing the actual

financial performance against previously forecasted results;
• Reviewed management’s sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amounts to changes in

certain key assumptions based on the overall industry outlook; and
• Reviewed management’s disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
For those property, plant and equipment that are subjected to impairment assessment, we found
that the assumptions and estimates used are within a reasonable range of our expectations.
We also found the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are appropriate.
52
Key audit matters (cont’d)
(2) Completeness of revenue
Refer to Note 2 for the relevant accounting policy and Notes 5 and 21 for the disclosure of
revenue and cash respectively.
Key Audit Matter
The group’s revenue from sale of food and beverages amounts to $142.2 million, which amounts
to 99.9% of the group’s total revenue for the reporting year.
Revenue from sale of food and beverages is recognized based on actual amounts billed to
customers. It is transacted via a large volume of low-value cash and credit card transactions.
As cash is susceptible to theft and pilferage, we have focused on the completeness of cash.
How we addressed the matter in our audit
Our audit procedures focused on the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal
controls surrounding cash sales to assess if sales are appropriately recorded. These procedures
included:
• Reviewed management’s assessment of monthly outlet operating margins for completeness

of revenue recorded, testing of monitoring controls over cash receipts cycle and the
recognition of revenue based on cash receipts;
• Performed sales cut-off procedures using data analytics tools to match sales generated
from point-of-sales system to general ledger to evaluate the completeness of revenue
recorded for all outlets for the reporting year; and
• Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to total revenue and cash on hand.
We also found the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are appropriate.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the statement
by directors and the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement
of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and directors for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view
in accordance with the provisions of the Act and FRSs, and for devising and maintaining a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorized and that
they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to
maintain accountability of assets.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the group or
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when
it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
(a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
(b) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 group’s internal control.
(c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
54
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (cont’d)
(d) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue
as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
(e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
(f) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities
or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the company and
by those subsidiary corporations incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been
properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Pang Hui Ting.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 June 2018
1. GENERAL
RE&S Enterprises Holdings Pte. Ltd. (the “company”) was incorporated on 26 May 2017 under
the Companies Act as a private limited company domiciled in Singapore. On 31 July 2017, the
company was renamed “RE&S Holdings Pte. Ltd.”. On 8 November 2017, the company was
converted to a public limited company and changed its name to RE&S Holdings Limited. On
22 November 2017, the company was listed on the Catalist Board (the “Catalist”) of Singapore
Exchange Securities Trading Limited.
The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars and they cover the company
(referred to as “parent”) and its subsidiaries. All financial information have been rounded to the
nearest thousand (“000”), except when otherwise stated.
The board of directors approved and authorized these financial statements for issue on the
date of the statement by directors.
The principal activities of the company are those of investment holding and providing
management services to the subsidiaries in the group.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in the Note 15 to the financial
statements.
The registered office is: 32 Tai Seng Street, #07-00 RE&S Building, Singapore 533972. The
company is situated in Singapore.
Restructuring
The group undertook the following transactions as part of a corporate restructuring implemented
in preparation for its listing on the Catalist (the “Restructuring Exercise”):
(i) The company was incorporated on 26 May 2017 in Singapore under the Companies Act
as a private company limited by shares with an issued and paid-up share capital of $100
comprising 100 Shares, with 75 Shares and 25 Shares being held by Mr. Hiroshi Tatara
and Mr. Yek Hong Liat John (“Controlling Shareholders”) respectively;
(ii) The company acquired from R E & S Enterprises Pte Ltd the entire issued and
paid-up share capital in each of RE&S Japan Co., Ltd., R E & S Enterprises (M) Sdn.
Bhd., Promote Japan Enterprise Pte. Ltd. and Kabe No Ana Pte. Ltd. for a consideration
of $240,050, $446,868, $1 and $1 respectively on 26 October 2017. The consideration
for the acquisition of the entire shareholding interest in each of RE&S Japan Co., Ltd,
R E & S Enterprises (M) Sdn. Bhd., Promote Japan Enterprise Pte. Ltd. and Kabe No Ana
Pte. Ltd. was based on the cost of investment of each of these entities as of 30 June
2017. The aggregate consideration of $686,920 was settled on a cash basis;

Restructuring (cont’d)
(iii) On 26 October 2017, the company acquired from Mr. Hiroshi Tatara, Mr. Yek Hong Liat
John, Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong and Mr. Teo Eng Kim an aggregate of 2,800,000 ordinary
shares in R E & S Enterprises Pte Ltd for a total consideration of $20,949,018, which
was based on the net asset value of R E & S Enterprises Pte Ltd as of 30 June 2017.
The consideration was satisfied by the issuance of 14,599,927, 4,999,975, 199,999 and
199,999 shares to Mr. Hiroshi Tatara, Mr. Yek Hong Liat John, Mr. Ben Yeo Chee Seong
and Mr. Teo Eng Kim, respectively;
Following the completion of the Restructuring Exercise, the company became the holding
company of the group.
(iv) On 8 November 2017, 20,000,000 shares in the capital of the company were sub-divided
into 300,000,000 shares (the “Sub-Division”).
Prior to the Restructuring and until 26 October 2017, R E & S Enterprises Pte Ltd and its
subsidiaries were controlled by the same Controlling Shareholders.
The Restructuring is, therefore, considered to be a business combination involving entities or

businesses under common control and is accounted for by applying the pooling of interests
method. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these entities transferred have been included
in the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amounts. Although the Restructuring
occurred subsequent to the end of the reporting year ended 30 June 2017, the consolidated
financial statements present the financial position and financial performance as if the
businesses had always been combined since the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Accounting convention
The financial statements of the company as the reporting entity have been prepared in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards in Singapore (“FRSs”) and the related
Interpretations to FRS (“INT FRS”) as issued by the Singapore Accounting Standards Council
and the Companies Act, Chapter 50. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern
basis under the historical cost convention except where an FRSs require an alternative
treatment (such as fair values) as disclosed where appropriate in these financial statements.
The accounting policies in FRSs may not be applied when the effect of applying them is not
material. The disclosures required by FRSs need not be provided if the information resulting
from that disclosure is not material. Other comprehensive income comprises items of income
and expense (including reclassification adjustments) that are not recognized in profit or loss,
as required or permitted by FRSs.

NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018
1. GENERAL (CONT’D)
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting

principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates
and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Apart from those involving estimations,
management has made judgements in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies.
The areas requiring management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgements, or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed at
the end of this footnote, where applicable.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company and
its subsidiaries (the “group”) as at the end of the reporting periods. The financial statements of
the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared
for the same reporting date as the company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like
transactions and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from
intra-group transactions that are recognized in assets are eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements of the group for the reporting year ended 30 June 2017
have been prepared using the pooling of interest method as the Restructuring described in
Note 1 on Restructuring is a legal restructuring of businesses or entities under common control.
Such manner of presentation reflects the economic substance of the combining companies
as a single economic enterprise, although the legal parent-subsidiary relationship was not
established until after the end of the reporting periods. The company has been treated as the
holding company of its subsidiaries for the reporting years presented rather than from the date
of completion of the Restructuring.

30 June 2018
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER

EXPLANATORY INFORMATION
2A. Significant accounting policies
Revenue recognition
The revenue amount is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from the gross
inflow of economic benefits during the reporting year arising from the course of the activities
of the entity and it is shown net of any related sales taxes and rebates. Revenue from the
sale of the food and beverages is recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership
of the food and beverages are transferred to the buyer i.e. when the food and beverages are
delivered, there is neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the amount of revenue and the
costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Rental
revenue is recognized on a time-proportion basis that takes into account the effective yield on
the asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest is recognized using the effective
interest method.
Government grants
A government grant is recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the
conditions attaching to it will be complied with and that the grant will be received. Grants in
recognition of specific expenses are recognized as income over the periods necessary to
match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.
A grant related to depreciable assets is allocated to income over the period in which such
assets are used in the project subsidized by the grant. A government grant related to assets,
including non-monetary grants at fair value, is presented in the statement of financial position
by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset.
Employee benefits
Contributions to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan are recorded as an expense

as they fall due. The entity’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to the amount that it is
obligated to contribute to an independently administered fund (such as the Central Provident
Fund in Singapore, a government managed defined contribution retirement benefit plan). Certain
subsidiaries overseas have defined contribution retirement benefit plans in which employees
are entitled to join upon fulfilling certain conditions. The assets of the fund may or may not
be held separately from those of the entity in an independently administered fund. The entity
contributes an amount equal to a fixed percentage of the salary of each participating employee.
For employee leave entitlement the expected cost of short-term employee benefits in the form
of compensated absences is recognized in the case of accumulating compensated absences,
when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future compensated
absences; and in the case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences
occur. A liability for bonuses is recognized where the entity is contractually obliged or where
there is constructive obligation based on past practice.

EXPLANATORY INFORMATION (CONT’D)
2A. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest rate method. Borrowing costs are
recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred except that borrowing costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale
are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset until substantially all the activities necessary
to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
Foreign currency transactions
The functional currency is the Singapore dollar as it reflects the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional
currency at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. At each end of the reporting year,
recorded monetary balances and balances measured at fair value that are denominated in
non-functional currencies are reported at the rates ruling at the end of the reporting year and
fair value measurement dates respectively. All realized and unrealized exchange adjustment
gains and losses are dealt with in profit or loss except when recognized in other comprehensive
income and if applicable deferred in equity such as for qualifying cash flow hedges. The
presentation is in the functional currency.
Translation of financial statements of other entities
Each entity in the group determines the appropriate functional currency as it reflects the primary
economic environment in which the relevant reporting entity operates. In translating the financial
statements of such an entity for incorporation in the consolidated financial statements in the
presentation currency the assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated at
end of the reporting year rates of exchange and income and expense items for each statement
presenting profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average rates of
exchange for the reporting year. The resulting translation adjustments (if any) are recognized
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity until the
disposal of that relevant reporting entity.

30 June 2018

Income tax
The income taxes are accounted using the asset and liability method that requires the
recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the financial
statements or tax returns. The measurements of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets
are based on provisions of the enacted or substantially enacted tax laws; the effects of future
changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. Tax expense (tax income) is the aggregate
amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the reporting year in respect of
current tax and deferred tax. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized as income or
as an expense in profit or loss unless the tax relates to items that are recognized in the same
or a different period outside profit or loss. For such items recognized outside profit or loss the
current tax and deferred tax are recognized (a) in other comprehensive income if the tax is
related to an item recognized in other comprehensive income and (b) directly in equity if the tax
is related to an item recognized directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset
when they relate to income taxes levied by the same income tax authority.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each end of the reporting year and is
reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are
not expected to be realized. A deferred tax amount is recognized for all temporary differences,
unless the deferred tax amount arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in
a transaction which (i) is not a business combination; and (ii) at the time of the transaction,
affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). A deferred tax liability or asset
is recognized for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries
except where the reporting entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the taxable
temporary difference and it is probable that the taxable temporary difference will not reverse
in the foreseeable future or for deductible temporary differences, they will not reverse in the
foreseeable future and they cannot be utilized against taxable profits.
Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis to allocate the gross carrying amounts of the
assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives of each part of an item of
these assets. The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
Leasehold property – Over lease term or 3.33%
Plant and equipment – 5% to 20%

NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)
An asset is depreciated when it is available for use until it is derecognized even if during
that period the item is idle. Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the financial
statements.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost on initial recognition and after initial
recognition at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is
determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount
of the item and is recognized in profit or loss. The residual value and the useful life of an asset
is reviewed at least at each end of the reporting year and, if expectations differ significantly
from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate,
and the depreciation charge for the current and future periods are adjusted.
Cost also includes acquisition cost, borrowing cost capitalized and any cost directly attributable
to bringing the asset or component to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable
of operating in the manner intended by management. Subsequent cost are recognized as an
asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to profit or loss when they are incurred.
Cost includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either when
the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period
for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period. See Note 25 on provisions.
Leases
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership
of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. For operating leases, lease payments
are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the
relevant lease unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the user’s
benefit, even if the payments are not on that basis. Lease incentives received are recognized
in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense. Rental income from operating
leases is recognized in profit or loss a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease
unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit, even
if the payments are not on that basis. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging
on operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
68
NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity including unincorporated and special purpose entity that is controlled
by the reporting entity and the reporting entity is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power over the investee. The existence and effect of substantive potential voting rights that the
reporting entity has the practical ability to exercise (that is, substantive rights) are considered
when assessing whether the reporting entity controls another entity.
An investment in a subsidiary is accounted for at cost less any allowance for impairment in
value. Impairment loss recognized in profit or loss for a subsidiary is reversed only if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognized. The carrying value and the net book value of the investment
in a subsidiary are not necessarily indicative of the amount that would be realized in a current
market exchange.
Segment reporting
The group discloses financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments.
Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that
meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker
in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial
information is reported on the same basis as is used internally for evaluating operating segment
performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost (weighted average method) and net realisable
value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less
the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. A write
down on cost is made where the cost is not recoverable or if the selling prices have declined.
Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition.

NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

Impairment of non-financial assets
Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, an annual impairment test is

performed at the same time every year on an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life or
an intangible asset not yet available for use. The carrying amount of other non-financial assets
is reviewed at each end of the reporting year for indications of impairment and where an
asset is impaired, it is written down through profit or loss to its estimated recoverable amount.
The impairment loss is the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount and
is recognized in profit or loss. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit
is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When the fair value
less costs of disposal method is used, any available recent market transactions are taken into
consideration. When the value in use method is adopted, in assessing the 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. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels
for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). At each end of
the reporting year non-financial assets other than goodwill with impairment loss recognized
in prior periods are assessed for possible reversal of the impairment. An impairment loss is
reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been measured, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognized.
Financial assets
Initial recognition, measurement and derecognition:
A financial asset is recognized on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the
entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The initial recognition of
financial assets is at fair value normally represented by the transaction price. The transaction
price for financial asset not classified at fair value through profit or loss includes the transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset. Transaction
costs incurred on the acquisition or issue of financial assets classified at fair value through
profit or loss are expensed immediately. The transactions are recorded at the trade date.
Irrespective of the legal form of the transactions performed, financial assets are derecognized
when they pass the “substance over form” based on the derecognition test prescribed by
FRS 39 relating to the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership and the transfer of control.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
statement of financial position if there is currently a legally enforceable right to offset the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and
settle the liabilities simultaneously.
70
NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

Financial assets (cont’d)
Subsequent measurement:
Subsequent measurement based on the classification of the financial assets in one of the
following four categories under FRS 39 is as follows:
1. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: As at end of the reporting year date
there were no financial assets classified in this category.
2. Loans and receivables: Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed
or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Assets that are for
sale immediately or in the near term are not classified in this category. These assets are
carried at amortized costs using the effective interest method (except that short-duration
receivables with no stated interest rate are normally measured at original invoice amount
unless the effect of imputing interest would be significant) minus any reduction (directly
or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or uncollectibility. Impairment
charges are provided only when there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has
been incurred as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition
of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated
future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably
estimated. The methodology ensures that an impairment loss is not recognized on the
initial recognition of an asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how
likely, are not recognized. For impairment, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced
through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognized in profit
or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. Typically the trade and other
receivables are classified in this category.
3. Held-to-maturity financial assets: As at end of the reporting year date there were no
financial assets classified in this category.
4. Available for sale financial assets: As at end of the reporting year date there were no
financial assets classified in this category.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include bank and cash balances, on demand deposits and any
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. For
the statement of cash flows the item includes cash and cash equivalents less cash subject
to restriction and bank overdrafts payable on demand that form an integral part of cash
management.
NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

Financial liabilities
Initial recognition, measurement and derecognition:
A financial liability is recognized on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the
entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and it is derecognized
when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. The initial
recognition of financial liability is at fair value normally represented by the transaction price. The
transaction price for financial liability not classified at fair value through profit or loss includes
the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial
liability. Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition or issue of financial liability classified at
fair value through profit or loss are expensed immediately. The transactions are recorded at
the trade date.
Subsequent measurement:
Subsequent measurement based on the classification of the financial liabilities in one of the
following two categories under FRS 39 is as follows:
1. Liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: Liabilities are classified in this category
when they are incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near
term (trading liabilities) or are derivatives (except for a derivative that is a designated
and effective hedging instrument) or have been classified in this category because the
conditions are met to use the “fair value option” and it is used. All changes in fair value
relating to liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are charged to profit or loss as
incurred.
2. Liabilities at amortized cost: These liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.
Fair value measurement
When measuring fair value, management uses the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability under current market conditions, including assumptions
about risk. It is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The entity’s
intention to hold an asset or to settle or otherwise fulfil a liability is not taken into account
as relevant when measuring fair value. In making the fair value measurement, management
determines the following: (a) the particular asset or liability being measured (these are
identified and disclosed in the relevant notes below); (b) for a non-financial asset, the highest
and best use of the asset and whether the asset is used in combination with other assets or
on a stand-alone basis; (c) the market in which an orderly transaction would take place for the
asset or liability; and (d) the appropriate valuation techniques to use when measuring fair value.
The valuation techniques used maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize
unobservable inputs. These inputs are consistent with the inputs a market participant may use
when pricing the asset or liability.
72
NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

Fair value measurement (cont’d)
The fair value measurements categorize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair
value by using a fair value hierarchy of three levels. These are recurring fair value measurements
unless state otherwise in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Level 1 inputs are
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3
inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The level is measured on the basis of
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Transfers
between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of
the reporting year. If a financial instrument measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask
price, the price within the bid-ask spread or mid-market pricing that is most representative of
fair value in the circumstances is used to measure fair value regardless of where the input is
categorized within the fair value hierarchy. If there is no market, or the markets available are
not active, the fair value is established by using an acceptable valuation technique.
The carrying values of current financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the
short-term maturity of these instruments and the disclosures of fair value are not made when
the carrying amount of current financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of the fair
value. The fair values of non-current financial instruments may not be disclosed separately
unless there are significant differences at the end of the reporting year and in the event the
fair values are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.
2B. Other explanatory information
Provisions
A liability or provision is recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as

a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A provision is made using best estimates of the amount required in settlement and
where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount recognized is the present
value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest
expense. Changes in estimates are reflected in profit or loss in the reporting year they occur.

NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

2C. Critical judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties
The critical judgements made in the process of applying the accounting policies that have the
most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements and the key
assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end
of the reporting year, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities currently or within the next reporting year are discussed below.
These estimates and assumptions are periodically monitored to ensure they incorporate all
relevant information available at the date when financial statements are prepared. However,
this does not prevent actual figures differing from estimates.
Assessment of impairment of plant and equipment:
An assessment is made for the reporting year whether there is any indication that the asset may
be impaired. If any such indication exists, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the
asset. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units if applicable is measured based on
the fair value less costs of disposal or value in use calculations. It is impracticable to disclose
the extent of the possible effects. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that
outcomes within the next reporting year that are different from assumptions could require a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of the balances affected. The carrying amount of
the specific asset or class of assets at the end of the reporting year affected by the assumption
is $23,132,000 (2017: $24,988,000).
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment:
The estimates for the useful lives and related depreciation charges for property, plant and
equipment are based on commercial and other factors which could change significantly as
a result of innovations and in response to market conditions. The depreciation charge is
increased where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or the carrying amounts
written off or written down for technically obsolete items or assets that have been abandoned.
It is impracticable to disclose the extent of the possible effects. It is reasonably possible,
based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next reporting year that are different
from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the balances
affected. The carrying amount of the specific asset or class of assets at the end of the reporting
year affected by the assumption is $39,937,000 (2017: $42,500,000).

NOTES TO THE
30 June 2018

2C. Critical judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties (cont’d)
Income tax amounts:
The entity recognizes tax liabilities and assets tax based on an estimation of the likely taxes
due, which requires significant judgement as to the ultimate tax determination of certain
items. Where the actual amount arising from these issues differs from these estimates, such
differences will have an impact on income tax and deferred tax amounts in the period when
such determination is made. In addition management judgement is required in determining the
amount of current and deferred tax recognized and the extent to which amounts should or can
be recognized. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses if it is probable that
the entity will earn sufficient taxable profit in future periods to benefit from a reduction in tax
payments. This involves the management making assumptions within its overall tax planning
activities and periodically reassessing them in order to reflect changed circumstances as
well as tax regulations. As a result, due to their inherent nature assessments of likelihood
are judgemental and not susceptible to precise determination. The income tax amounts are
disclosed in the Note on income tax.
3. RELATED PARTY RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

FRS 24 on related party disclosures requires the reporting entity to disclose: (a) transactions
with its related parties; and (b) relationships between parents and subsidiaries irrespective of
whether there have been transactions between those related parties. A party is related to a
party if the party controls, or is controlled by, or can significantly influence or is significantly
influenced by the other party.
The ultimate controlling party is Hiroshi Tatara, a director and significant shareholder.
3A. Related party transactions
There are transactions and arrangements between the reporting entity and related parties
and the effects of these on the basis determined between the parties are reflected in these
financial statements. The related party balances and any financial guarantees are unsecured,
without fixed repayment terms and interest unless stated otherwise.
Intragroup transactions and balances that have been eliminated in these consolidated financial
statements are not disclosed as related party transactions and balances below.

4. FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY OPERATING SEGMENTS

4A. Primary analysis by business segment
For management purposes, the group is organized into the following two major operating
segments that offer different products:
(1) The full-service restaurants segment (“Restaurants”) which caters to customers seeking
the full dining experience where they may sit down to have their meals and are provided
with table service; and
(2) The quick-service restaurants, convenience and others segment (“Quick services”) which
caters to customers seeking a quicker meal experience and/or in which they may order
their meals for take-away. This segment also includes the preparation of Japanese food
products, such as bento and onigiri (Japanese rice balls), for third party businesses in
Singapore.
This is determined by the nature or risks and returns associated with each business segment
and defines the management structure as well as the internal reporting system. It also
represents the basis on which management reports the primary segment information.
Inter-segment sales are measured on the basis that the entity actually uses to price the
transfers. Internal transfer pricing policies of the Group are as far as practicable based on
market prices. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The management reporting system evaluates performances based on a number of factors.

However the primary profitability measurement to evaluate segment’s operating results
comprises two major financial indicators: (1) earnings from operations before depreciation,
interests and income taxes (called “Recurring EBITDA”) and (2) operating result before income
taxes and other unallocated items (called “ORBT”).

In respect of the current year, the directors propose that final one-tier tax exempt ordinary
dividend of 0.40 cents per share with a total of $1,416,000 to be paid to shareholders after
the annual general meeting. There are no income tax consequences. This dividend is subject
to approval by shareholders at the next annual general meeting and has not been included as
a liability in these financial statements. The proposed dividend for 2018 is payable in respect
of all ordinary shares in issue at the end of the reporting date and including the new qualifying
shares issued up to the date the dividend becomes payable.
13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit for the year, net of tax, attributable
to the owners of the company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the financial year.
The following illustrates the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted
earnings per share of no par value:

Numerator
Profit attributable to owners of the company, net of income tax 3,568 5,697
Denominator
Weighted average number of equity shares 354,000 354,000
For comparatives purposes, the earnings per share for the respective reporting years have
been computed based on the profit attributable to owners of the company and share capital of
354,000,000 shares assuming that the Restructuring exercise and the issuance of 54,000,000
new shares pursuant to the IPO had been completed as at 1 July 2016.
Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share as there were no potential
dilutive ordinary shares existing during the respective reporting years.

22. SHARE CAPITAL (CONT’D)

Capital management
The objectives when managing capital are: to safeguard the reporting entity’s ability to continue
as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for owners and benefits for other
stakeholders, and to provide an adequate return to owners by pricing the sales commensurately
with the level of risk. The management sets the amount of capital to meet its requirements
and the risk taken. There were no changes in the approach to capital management during the
reporting year. The management manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it
where necessary or possible in the light of changes in conditions and the risk characteristics of
the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the management may
adjust the amount of dividends paid to owners, return capital to owners, issue new shares, or
sell assets to reduce debt. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity (that is, share
capital and reserves).
The management monitors the capital on the basis of the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This
ratio is calculated as net debt/adjusted capital (as shown below). Net debt is calculated as
total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

At the end of the reporting year the total of future minimum lease payments commitments
under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:
Group
2018 2017
$’000 $’000
Not later than one year 21,547 20,260

terms are negotiated for an average term of 3 years. Some of the leases contain escalation
clauses. Some provide for contingent rentals based on percentages of sales. Lease terms do
not contain restrictions on the group’s activities concerning dividends, additional debt or further
leasing. Contingent rental is not included in the commitments as it is currently not determinable.

32B. Financial risk management
The main purpose for holding or issuing financial instruments is to raise and manage the
finances for the entity’s operating, investing and financing activities. There are exposure to
the financial risks on the financial instruments such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market
risk comprising interest rate, currency risk and price risk exposures. Management has certain
strategies for the management of financial risks. However, these are not documented in formal
writing. The following guidelines include the following:
1. Minimize interest rate, currency, credit and market risks for all kinds of transactions.

RISKS (CONT’D)
32B. Financial risk management (cont’d)
2. Maximize the use of “natural hedge”: favouring as much as possible the natural off-setting
of sales and costs and payables and receivables denominated in the same currency and
therefore put in place hedging strategies only for the excess balance. The same strategy
is pursued with regard to interest rate risk.
3. All financial risk management activities are carried out and monitored by senior
management staff.
4. All financial risk management activities are carried out following the acceptable market
practices.
There have been no changes to the exposures to risks; the objectives, policies and processes
for managing the risks and the methods used to measure the risks.
32C. Fair values of financial instruments
The analyzes of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition
at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial
statements. These include the significant financial instruments stated at amortized cost and
at fair value in the statement of financial position. The carrying values of current financial
instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments
and the disclosures of fair value are not made when the carrying amount of current financial
instruments is a reasonable approximation of the fair value.
32D. Credit risk on financial assets
Financial assets that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk and failures by
counterparties to discharge their obligations in full or in a timely manner consist principally
of cash balances with banks, cash equivalents, receivables and certain other financial assets.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is: the total of the fair value of the financial assets; the
maximum amount the entity could have to pay if the guarantee is called on; and the full amount
of any payable commitments at the end of the reporting year. Credit risk on cash balances with
banks and any other financial instruments is limited because the counter-parties are entities
with acceptable credit ratings. For credit risk on receivables an ongoing credit evaluation is
performed on the financial condition of the debtors and a loss from impairment is recognized
in profit or loss. The exposure to credit risk with customers is controlled by setting limits on the
exposure to individual customers and these are disseminated to the relevant persons concerned
and compliance is monitored by management. There is no significant concentration of credit risk
on receivables, as the exposure is spread over a large number of counter-parties and customers.

32D. Credit risk on financial assets (cont’d)

The liquidity risk refers to the difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities
that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. It is expected that all the liabilities
will be paid at their contractual maturity. The average credit period taken to settle trade payable
is about 30 to 60 days (2017: 30 to 60 days). The other payables are with short-term durations.
The classification of the financial assets is shown in the statement of financial position as they
may be available to meet liquidity needs and no further analysis is deemed necessary. In order
to meet such cash commitments the operating activity is expected to generate sufficient cash
inflows.

34. CHANGES AND ADOPTION OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

STANDARDS
For the current reporting year new or revised Singapore Financial Reporting Standards and the
related Interpretations to FRS (“INT FRS”) were issued by the Singapore Accounting Standards
Council. Those applicable to the reporting entity are listed below. These applicable new or
revised standards did not require material modification of the measurement methods or the
presentation in the financial statements.
FRS No. Title

FRS 7 Amendments to FRS 7: Disclosure Initiative
FRS 12 Amendments to FRS 12: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses
FRS 112 Amendments to FRS 112: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
35. NEW OR AMENDED STANDARDS IN ISSUE BUT NOT YET

EFFECTIVE
Companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) currently reporting under FRSs are
required to comply with new financial reporting standards (issued by the Singapore Accounting
Standards Council) that would be identical to the International Financial Reporting Standards
for reporting years beginning on after 1 January 2018. The new framework is referred to
as SFRS(I). Non-listed companies may elect to voluntarily apply SFRS(I). SFRS(I) 1 First-
time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards will be adopted in the financial
statements when it becomes mandatory as the company is listed on SGX. Based on the
current accounting treatment of the account balances management does not anticipate that
the application of SFRS(I) will have a material impact on the financial position and financial
performance of the reporting entity.
For the future reporting years new or revised Singapore Financial Reporting Standards
(International) and the related Interpretations to SFRS(I)s (“SFRS(I) INT”) were issued by the
Singapore Accounting Standards Council and these will only be effective for future reporting
years. Those applicable to the reporting entity for future reporting years are listed below.

the following year from the known or reasonably estimable information relevant to assessing
the possible impact that application of the new or revised standards will have on the entity’s
financial statements in the period of initial application except for:
SFRS(I) 16 Leases
SFRS(I) 16 Leases effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 replaces
SFRS(I) 1-17 and its interpretations. Almost all leases will be brought onto lessees’ statements
of financial position under a single model (except leases of less than 12 months and leases of
low value assets). Lessor accounting, however, remains largely unchanged and the distinction
between operating and finance leases is retained. The management anticipates that SFRS(I) 16
will be adopted in the financial statements when it becomes mandatory and that the application
of the new standard will have a significant effect on amounts reported in respect of the leases.
However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed
review has been completed.

Notes:
1. Please insert the total number of Shares held by you. If you have Shares entered against your name in the Depository Register
(as defined in Section 81SF of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289), you should insert that number of Shares. If you
have Shares registered in your name in the Register of Members, you should insert that number of Shares. If you have Shares
entered against your name in the Depository Register and Shares registered in your name in the Register of Members, you
should insert the aggregate number of Shares entered against your name in the Depository Register and registered in your
name in the Register of Members. If no number is inserted, the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies shall be deemed to
relate to all the Shares held by you.
2. A member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company is entitled to appoint one or two proxies
to attend and vote in his/her stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
3. Where a member appoints two proxies, the appointments shall be invalid unless he/she specifies the proportion of his/her
shareholding (expressed as a percentage of the whole) to be represented by each proxy.
4. A member who is a relevant intermediary entitled to attend the meeting and vote is entitled to appoint more than two proxies
to attend and vote instead of the member, but each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different
Share or Shares held by such member. Where such member appoints more than two proxies, the appointments shall be invalid
unless the member specifies the number of Shares in relation to which each proxy has been appointed.
“Relevant intermediary” means:
(a) a banking corporation licensed under the Banking Act (Cap. 19) or a wholly-owned subsidiary of such a banking
corporation, whose business includes the provision of nominee services and who holds shares in that capacity;
(b) a person holding a capital markets services licence to provide custodial services for securities under the Securities and
Futures Act (Cap. 289) and who holds shares in that capacity; or
(c) the Central Provident Fund Board established by the Central Provident Fund Act (Cap. 36), in respect of shares
purchased under the subsidiary legislation made under that Act providing for the making of investments from the
contributions and interest standing to the credit of members of the Central Provident Fund, if the Board holds those
shares in the capacity of an intermediary pursuant to or in accordance with that subsidiary legislation.
5. Completion and return of this instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude a member from attending and voting at the
Meeting. Any appointment of a proxy or proxies shall be deemed to be revoked if a member attends the meeting in person,
and in such event, the Company reserves the right to refuse to admit any person or persons appointed under the instrument
of proxy to the Meeting.
6. The instrument appointing a proxy or proxies must be deposited at the Company’s Share Registrar’s Office at Boardroom
Corporate & Advisory Services Pte. Ltd. at 50 Raffles Place, #32-01 Singapore Land Tower, Singapore 048623 not less
than seventy-two (72) hours before the time appointed for the Meeting.
7. The instrument appointing a proxy or proxies must be under **the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorized in
writing. Where the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies is executed by a corporation, it must be executed either under
its seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorized. Where the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies is
executed by an attorney on behalf of the appointor, the letter or power of attorney or a duly certified copy thereof must be
lodged with the instrument.
8. A corporation which is a member may authorize by resolution of its directors or other governing body such person as it
thinks fit to act as its representative at the Meeting, in accordance with Section 179 of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of
Singapore.
PERSONAL DATA PRIVACY:
By submitting an instrument appointing a proxy(ies) and/or representative(s), the member accepts and agrees to the personal
data privacy terms set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 9 October 2018.
GENERAL:
The Company shall be entitled to reject the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies if it is incomplete, improperly completed or
illegible, or where the true intentions of the appointor are not ascertainable from the instructions of the appointor specified in the
instrument appointing a proxy or proxies. In addition, in the case of Shares entered in the Depository Register, the Company may
reject any instrument appointing a proxy or proxies lodged if the member, being the appointor, is not shown to have Shares entered
against his name in the Depository Register as at seventy-two (72) hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting, as
certified by The Central Depository (Pte) Limited to the Company.
