PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS |
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED , 2025 |

Ultratrex Inc.
1,250,000 Class A Shares
This is an initial public offering of our Class A Shares, par value US$0.0001 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “Class A Shares”). We are offering, on a firm commitment basis, 1,250,000 Class A Shares. We anticipate that the initial public offering price of the Class A Shares will be between US$4.00 and US$5.00 per Class A Share.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Shares. We have applied to list our Class A Shares on Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “UTX.” This offering is contingent upon the listing of our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in listing our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We will not close this offering unless such Class A Shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the completion of this offering.
Our authorized share capital (including issued and outstanding shares) consists of 450,000,000 Class A Shares and 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of par value US$0.0001 per share (the “Class B Shares,” and together with the Class A Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”). Each Class A Share is entitled to one (1) vote and each Class B Share is entitled to twenty (20) votes. Also, Class B Shares are not convertible into Class A Shares and vice versa, Class A Shares are not convertible into Class B Shares. The percentage of total voting power controlled by holders of Class A Shares and holders of Class B Shares is 14.0% and 86.0% respectively immediately upon completion of the offering, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option.
Throughout this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise, any references to “UTX,” “the Company,” or “our Company” are to Ultratrex Inc., a Cayman Islands holding company.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Investing in our Class A Shares involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See Risk Factors beginning on page 11 to read about factors you should consider before buying our Class A Shares.
We are an “Emerging Growth Company” and a “Foreign Private Issuer” under applicable U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements. Please see “Implications of Our Being an Emerging Growth Company” and “Implications of Our Being a Foreign Private Issuer” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus for more information.
We are a holding company that is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no operations, we conduct all of our operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. The Class A Shares offered in this offering are shares of the holding company that is incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
Upon completion of this offering, our issued and outstanding shares will consist of 16,250,000 Class A Shares, assuming the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised, and 5,000,000 Class B Shares. We expect to be a controlled company as defined under the rules of Nasdaq Capital Market because, immediately after the completion of this offering, Mr. Halim will own approximately 37.5% of our total issued and outstanding Class A Shares and 100% of our total issued and outstanding and Class B Shares, representing approximately 89.4% of the total voting power. For so long as we remain a “controlled company,” we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We currently intend to rely on the exemption from the requirement that a majority of our board of directors be independent directors and accordingly, our board of directors will not consist of a majority of independent directors. We do not currently intend to rely on other exemptions available to controlled companies. However, for so long as we remain a controlled company as defined under that rule, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may in the future rely, on certain other exemptions from corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including (1) the requirement that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by either a Nomination Committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors and (2) the requirement that we have a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws. Because we currently rely, and may in the future rely, on one or more of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. For a more detailed discussion on the effects of being a “controlled company”, see pages 8, 23 and 93.
After this offering, Mr. Halim will control shares representing more than 50% of the total voting power of our shares. As a result, this concentrated control may limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring shareholder approval. In addition, this may have anti-takeover effects and may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of our shareholders.

This prospectus contains certain data and information that we obtained from various government and private publications. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions.

OVERVIEW
We believe that we have established ourselves as one of the leading providers of environmental solutions, specializing in the manufacturing of:
• amphibious machinery;
• aquatic weed harvesters; and
• dredgers.
We serve customers predominantly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates with a smaller presence in other regions. Our principal activities are focused on delivering innovative, eco-friendly technologies and services designed to protect and enhance natural habitats, while supporting urban improvement and infrastructure development.
Ultratrex is dedicated to environmental cleanup and restoration projects. Our amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers play a crucial role in removing pollutants and sediments from water bodies, helping to rehabilitate natural habitats and improve water quality. Our commitment to environmental restoration ensures that our operations benefit both wildlife and human communities.
Beyond environmental cleanups, Ultratrex contributes to land reclamation projects aimed at urban improvement and infrastructure development. Our advanced amphibious machinery and dredgers facilitate the creation of new land for housing, commercial use, and public infrastructure, supporting sustainable urban growth and development.

These machines are available in both customized configurations and standard variants, accommodating all major brand manufacturers, and covering a weight range from 5 to 50 tons. Designed to operate in sensitive environments, our amphibious machinery minimizes ecological disruption, making them ideal for projects in wetlands, marshes, and other vulnerable areas.
Aquatic weed harvesters are environmentally friendly machines designed to control excessive aquatic plant growth and remove floating solid waste. These heavy-duty harvesters are highly effective for managing both emergent and floating vegetation. Ultratrex offers a range of models depending on the type of weeds, lake size, desired percentage of weed removal, and the required harvesting speed.
We also excel in manufacturing dredgers that meet the specific needs of each project. Our dredgers are engineered to enhance operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. We offer a comprehensive range of equipment, technology, and services that support sustainable dredging practices, which is vital for maintaining and restoring aquatic ecosystems. We provide comprehensive support to our customers throughout the project lifecycle, assisting them from the project planning stages to the execution stage, ensuring optimal results for their projects.
Established initially in 2008 in Malaysia, our Group now operates two manufacturing facilities. One is situated in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia, covering land area of approximately 160,000 square feet. The second facility is located in Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia, with a land space of approximately 224,000 square feet. Additionally, we maintain a warehousing facility in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, Indonesia, spanning approximately 37,000 square feet.
Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with advanced machinery and equipment, and staffed by skilled and highly trained technical personnel. Operating on a global scale, Ultratrex is dedicated to swiftly delivering spare parts and technical services to our clients worldwide.

Since the commencement of our Group’s business over the last 17 years, we have developed strong and stable relationships with our suppliers and customers in the region. We have identified and maintained good relationships with reliable suppliers which enables us to procure good quality materials for the manufacturing of our equipment. Our customers regularly return to us for repeat business and from time to time, they refer other prospective customers to us. We have a wide customer base in respect of our manufacturing and sales of amphibious heavy machinery business, comprising 125 customers as of the financial year ended June 30, 2024 and 132 customers as of the financial year ended June 30, 2023, 74 customers as of the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 80 customers as of the six months ended December 31, 2023, spanning across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Turkey, and Netherlands.
We have an experienced management team
We are guided by an experienced management team, led by Mr. Wong Kok Seng, our Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Wong has been instrumental in spearheading the growth of our Group. With over 20 years of experience in the manufacturing and sales of amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers, he is primarily responsible for the planning and execution of our Group’s business strategies and managing our Group’s customer relationships. Our experienced management team also includes our Executive Director and Chairman, Mr. Halim, who brings with him over 17 years of experience in the industry.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES
We intend to strengthen our market position in the manufacturing and sales of amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers in overseas markets such as US, Europe and Asia Pacific, by implementing the following business strategies and plans.
Increase our manufacturing capacity and capabilities
To keep pace with growing customer demand and expectations for high-quality machinery, we are committed to expanding our manufacturing capacity and capabilities. Our plans include a significant expansion of our facility in Indonesia, as well as upgrades to our Malaysian facility to bring it to state-of-the-art standards, ensuring it meets rigorous quality requirements. These improvements will allow us to optimize our production processes, enhance operational efficiency, and better position ourselves to deliver exceptional products that align with our customers’ evolving needs.
Increase our sales and marketing capabilities
To increase our sales and expand our presence in overseas markets such as US, Europe and Asia Pacific, we plan to hire dedicated sales and marketing representatives in these regions. We also intend to continue to invest in setting up regional sales offices, as well as attending key exhibitions and trade fairs where we would have the opportunity to showcase and promote our products to a wider audience.
Product diversification and innovation
We plan to expand our product portfolio and enhance existing offerings by introducing new, technologically advanced models that address evolving customer needs and industry trends, such as increased efficiency of the machines and higher safety requirements. For example, we are developing an innovative anti-tilting safety sensor to enhance operational safety by preventing machinery from tilting in challenging environments, a critical feature for projects in
3
sensitive or uneven terrains. In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we are also developing a hybrid-operated aquatic weed harvester. This innovation reduces emissions while maintaining operational efficiency. Our innovation efforts will also focus on developing modular designs that allow for greater customization, thereby broadening our market appeal.
We plan to expand our offerings by providing comprehensive weed harvesting and dredging services. Through service agreements, we will assist customers throughout the entire process, from project planning to execution, delivering tailored, end-to-end solutions for their weed harvesting and dredging needs.
Expand business and operations through acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances
We plan to explore opportunities to collaborate with suitable partners in the industry through strategic alliances, joint ventures, acquisitions and investments. For example, if a suitable opportunity arises, we may collaborate with the distributors of our suppliers as well as other manufacturers to expand our reach and if we deem such collaborations to be likely to provide us with more business opportunities. In particular, we are considering establishing a relationship with a dealer in the U.S. This partnership could involve setting up a light assembly operation in U.S., potentially through a joint venture arrangement. The focus of this collaboration would be to jointly manufacture amphibious machinery for sale in the U.S. market. We believe this strategy could lead to significant cost savings through localized production and potentially open up new market opportunities in the U.S. However, these plans are still in the exploratory stage and subject to further evaluation and negotiation.
SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Class A Shares involves risks. The risks summarized below are qualified by reference to “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus, which you should carefully consider before making a decision to purchase Class A Shares. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Class A Shares would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
We face numerous risks that could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. These risks include but are not limited to the following:
Risks related to Our Business and Industry
• Our business is subject to the risk of non-payment or delayed payment by our customers, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
• A significant portion of our trading revenue is derived from state-owned enterprises and government organizations in Indonesia, and any reduction in orders, delays in payment, or contract terminations by these customers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks related to our Securities and this offering
• An active trading market for our Class A Shares may not be established or, if established, may not continue and the trading price for our Class A Shares may fluctuate significantly.
• We may not maintain the listing of our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our Class A Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
• The trading price of our Class A Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
• We may experience extreme stock price volatility, including any stock-run up, unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Shares.
5
• If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A Shares, the market price for our Class A Shares and trading volume could decline.
• Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on price appreciation of our Class A Shares for a return on your investment.
• The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Class A Shares could adversely affect their market price.
• Short selling may drive down the market price of our Class A Shares.
• Because our public offering price per share is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

• As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards.
• Our controlling shareholder has substantial influence over the Company. Its interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and it could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.
• Our controlling shareholder may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
• As a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq Capital Market, we may choose to exempt our Company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.
• You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.
• We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.
• We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.
• We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.
• Our management team lacks experience in managing a U.S.-listed public company and complying with laws applicable to such company, the failure of which may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
• We will incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of the listing of our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
• If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence.
• Certain judgments obtained against us or our auditor by our shareholders may not be enforceable.
• Further issuances of Class B Shares may result in a dilution of the percentage ownership of the existing holders of Class A Shares as a total proportion of Class A Shares in the Company.
6
• Our dual-class voting structure may render our Class A Shares ineligible for inclusion in certain stock market indices, and thus adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of our Class A Shares.
• Our Company may grant employee share options and other share-based awards in the future. Our Company will recognize any share-based compensation expenses in our statements of comprehensive loss. Any additional grant of employee share options and other share-based awards in the future may have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.
• Our Company may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Implications of Our Being a “Controlled Company”
Upon the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Capital Market Company Guide as our Executive Director, Mr. Halim will hold 37.5% of our total issued and outstanding Class A Shares and 100% of our total issued and outstanding Class B Shares and will be able to exercise 89.4% of the total voting power of our authorized and issued shares, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. For so long as we remain a “controlled company,” we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We currently intend to rely on the exemption from the requirement that a majority of our board of directors be independent directors and accordingly, our board of directors will not consist of a majority of independent directors. We do not currently intend to rely on other exemptions available to controlled companies. However, for so long as we remain a controlled company as defined under that rule, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may in the future rely, on certain other exemptions from corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including (1) the requirement that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by either a Nomination Committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors and (2) the requirement that we have a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws. Because we currently rely, and may in the future rely, on one or more of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Implications of Our Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in revenue during our last financial year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
• being permitted to provide only two financial years of selected financial information (rather than five years) and only two years of audited financial statements (rather than three years), in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure; and
• an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
We have elected to take advantage of such exemptions. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the financial year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering occurs, (2) the last day of the financial year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least US$1.235 billion, (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which means the market value of our Class A Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700.0 million as of the prior June 30, and (4) the date on which we have issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. We have included two years of selected financial data in this prospectus in reliance on the first exemption described above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.
Implications of Our Being a Foreign Private Issuer
Upon completion of this offering, we will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:
• the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
• the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and
• the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.
8
Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither emerging growth companies nor foreign private issuers.
In addition, as a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the corporate governance listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Following this offering, we will rely on home country practice to be exempted from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, namely (i) there will not be a necessity to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with independent Directors; and (ii) there will be no requirement for the Company to obtain shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in connection with (a) the acquisition of stock or assets of another company; (b) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (c) a change of control; and (d) transactions other than public offerings.

Investing in our shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment in our Company. The risks discussed below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and the trading price of our shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements having direct and/or indirect implications on our future performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including the risks and uncertainties faced by us, as described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our business is subject to the risk of non-payment or delayed payment by our customers, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
As at June 30, 2023 and 2024, approximately 57% and 42% of the Group’s trade receivable arose from four and two groups of customers respectively. Customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics. The ability of these parties to pay their obligations may be adversely affected by changes in their financial condition or other factors. We may experience difficulty collecting accounts receivable due to disputes or financial difficulties of these customers, which could result in write-offs or bad debt expense, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, and results of operations.
A significant portion of our trading revenue is derived from state-owned enterprises and government organizations in Indonesia, and any reduction in orders, delays in payment, or contract terminations by these customers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, approximately 48.6% and 50.3% of our total trading revenue was derived from state-owned enterprises and government organizations in Indonesia respectively. These customers may be subject to changes in government policy, political developments, budgetary constraints or regulatory shifts that could affect their purchasing decisions. In some cases, payments from these entities may be delayed due to internal government procedures or funding cycles. Any significant decrease in the volume of orders from these customers, failure to renew contracts, delayed payments, or contract cancellations could materially and adversely affect our revenue and operating results.
Our operating results are difficult to predict.
Revenue from our operating segments have varied significantly in the past and may continue to do so in the future. Factors that cause our operating results to be unpredictable include other factors described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Key Factors that Affect Results of Operations” of this prospectus. Any of the foregoing factors, or any other factors discussed elsewhere herein, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations that could adversely affect our share price.
Fluctuations in the price or availability of steel may adversely affect our financial results.
Steel represents a significant portion of our production costs. An increase in steel prices would directly increase the cost of manufacturing of our machines. If the Company is unable to increase the quotations for its machines to customers to cover the increased costs, our profitability may be adversely affected. Manufacturing costs can fluctuate significantly and is subject to many economic and political factors that are beyond our control, including political instability in oil-producing regions and the global geopolitical landscape. In the event of a significant rise in steel prices, our related costs may increase and our gross profit may decrease if we are unable to adopt any effective cost control measures or pass on the rising costs to our customers.
11
We depend on third parties for spare parts essential to operate our business.
We rely on suppliers and subcontractors to provide parts to us and provide transportation services for our customers to support our operations. We cannot assure you that our favorable working relationships with our suppliers and subcontractors will continue in the future. As we do not sign any long-term contracts with our suppliers and subcontractors, there is no assurance that they will be able to continue to provide equipment and services at acceptable prices or that we can maintain our relationship with them in the future. In the event that any of the major suppliers and subcontractors are unable to provide the required parts and services and we are unable to engage alternative providers on similar terms, or the costs for such parts and services increase substantially, our business and profitability could be materially and adversely affected.
A significant portion of our business is schedule driven, and failure to meet the schedule requirements of contracts could adversely affect our reputation and/or expose us to financial liability.
Certain revenue originates from fixed unit price contracts of amphibious excavators where we will guarantee completion of an order by a certain date. Any failure to meet the contractual schedule or completion requirements set forth in the contracts could subject us to costs resulting from the delay, generally in the form of contractually agreed-upon liquidated damages, liability for our customer’s actual costs arising out of such delay, reduced profits or a loss on that project. This could damage our reputation, and result in a material adverse impact to our financial position.
Failure to maintain safe work sites at our manufacturing facilities could result in significant losses, which could materially affect our business and reputation.
Because employees of our company and other parties on site are often in close proximity with mechanized equipment, moving vehicles, and dangerous manufacturing processes, our manufacturing and maintenance sites are potentially dangerous workplaces. Therefore, safety is a primary focus of our business and is critical to our reputation and performance. Unsafe work conditions also can increase employee turnover, which increases project costs and, therefore, our overall operating costs. If we fail to implement safety procedures or implement ineffective safety procedures, employees could be injured, and we could be exposed to investigations and possible litigation. Our failure to maintain adequate safety standards through safety programs could also result in reduced profitability or the loss of projects or customers.
We are exposed to disputes and claims arising from site accidents due to the usage of our equipment.
Environmental and land reclamation, construction and civil engineering are high-risk industries in which risks of injuries, fatalities and property damage due to accidents are more likely to occur. Claims may be made against us on grounds such as defective or malfunctioning machinery resulting in injuries, fatalities and property damage. In the event that we are required to pay damages arising from disputes, our reputation and profitability will be adversely affected. Although we have sought protection against the risk of such liabilities through regular servicing and maintenance of our dredging equipment and obtaining the necessary insurance coverage for our amphibious excavators before sale to our customers, we believe that it is not possible for us to be fully insured against every conceivable risk that we may be exposed to.
If any accidents are not covered by our insurance policies and claims arising from such accidents are in excess of our insurance coverage or if any of our insurance claims are contested by any insurance company, we may be required to pay for such compensation, which may have a material and adverse impact on our financial performance. In addition, the payment by our insurers of such insurance claims may result in increases in the premiums payable by us for our insurance. This will also increase the costs of our operations and adversely affect our financial performance.
We leverage subcontractors and suppliers in our manufacturing process and supply the necessary parts of the machinery.
In line with the usual practice of the heavy machinery industry, we engage third-party subcontractors and suppliers to perform a portion of the work and to supply the necessary parts of the machinery instead of retaining a large pool of labor with different skill sets to maximize our cost efficiency and flexibility. As is customary in the industry, subcontractors are informally engaged, with services rendered invoiced and settled periodically. This helps us to maintain additional capacity as required in our manufacturing process.
Apart from the effect of any significant increase in the subcontracting costs that may impact our profitability, we or our operating subsidiaries may also be exposed to other legal liabilities if we are not able to monitor the performance of our subcontractors, or if our subcontractors violate any laws, rules, or regulations in relation to health and safety
12
matters. We are further exposed to risks associated with any non-performance, delayed performance, or sub-standard performance by our subcontractors or their respective employees and may incur additional costs or be subject to liability due to delay in schedule or defect in the work of the subcontractors or if there is any accident-causing personal injuries or death to the subcontractors’ employees. These events may adversely impact our profitability, financial performance, and reputation, as well as result in litigation or damages claims.
In addition, our subcontractors may not always be readily available when our needs for subcontracting arise, and there is no assurance that we would be able to maintain good working relationships with our subcontractors in the future. Since we have not entered into any long-term service agreement with the subcontractors, they are not obliged to work for us on similar terms and conditions. There is no assurance that we would be able to find suitable alternative subcontractors for our manufacturing requirements, which would in turn adversely affect our performance capacity and financial results.
There is no guarantee that safety measures and procedures implemented at our production sites could prevent the occurrence of industrial accidents of all kinds, which in turn might lead to claims in respect to employees’ compensation, personal injuries, fatal accidents, and/or property damages against us.
We have adopted certain work safety measures and procedures for our staff. We rely on our staff to oversee the implementation of safety measures and procedures, and we cannot guarantee that all of the safety measures and procedures are strictly adhered to at any time, nor can we assure you that the safety measures and procedures are sufficient to prevent the occurrence of industrial accidents of all kinds. If the safety measures and procedures implemented at the production sites are insufficient or not strictly adhered to, it may result in industrial accidents that would in turn lead to claims in respect to employees’ compensation, personal injuries, fatal accidents, and/or property damage against us.
Cash inflows and outflows may be irregular and, thus, may affect our net cash flow position.
Cash inflows and outflows may be irregular and could impact our overall cash flow. During production, we may incur various costs, including purchase costs of production materials and supplies and settlement of our workers’ salaries and our subcontractors’ fees. However, payments from customers are often only received upon delivery of our products. As a result, cash inflows and outflows may fluctuate depending on the production schedule and payment terms. If we take on multiple capital-intensive orders during a period of reduced cash inflows, our cash flow position may be adversely affected.
Further, we are subject to credit risks from our customers and our liquidity is dependent on our customers making prompt progress payments due to us. We rely on cash inflow from our customers to meet our payment obligations to our suppliers and subcontractors. As such, we may record a significant cash outflow in the event that we take up too many capital-intensive orders during a particular period of time.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to recover all or any part of the amounts due from our customers or we will be able to collect all or any part of the trade receivables from our customers within the agreed credit terms or at all. Any failure by our customers to make payments on time and in full may lead to mismatch in cash flows, which will negatively affect our cash flow position and affect our ability to repay suppliers and subcontractors. This will negatively affect our business operation and financial performance.
Claims in connection with employees’ compensation or personal injuries may arise and affect our reputation and operations.
Injuries to workers and casualties at production sites are a common inherent risk. Claims of such nature expose us to the risk of bearing higher insurance premiums in the future and may damage our operating subsidiary’s reputation as a main contractor if they turn into high-profile cases and become widely reported in the media or within the industry. Such incidents may negatively affect our business prospects, reputation, and results of operations.
We are dependent on our key executives, management team, and professional staff.
Our success and growth depend on the knowledge, experience, and expertise of our management team who is responsible for overseeing the financial condition and performance and formulating business strategies. For example, our executive directors, each has over 10 years of experience in the manufacturing and sales of amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers.
13
As our work focuses on various work scopes, including the overall management of the manufacturing process, it is important for us to retain our management staff and technical personnel with appropriate and necessary industry expertise. We have entered into a service agreement with each of the directors and employment contracts with our senior management and technical personnel. These service agreements and employment contracts can be terminated by either senior management or the directors. There could be an adverse impact on our operations should a significant number of the directors, senior management, or other key personnel with relevant expertise terminate his or her employment with us and appropriate persons could not be found to replace them in a timely manner. There is no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain capable staff members or that they will not resign in the future.
We may be unable to obtain sufficient funding on terms acceptable, or at all.
The future expansion of our business may require it to incur additional borrowings and diversify sources of funding. Whether we are able to raise additional capital at costs acceptable depends on the financial success of the current business of our operating subsidiary and the successful implementation of key strategic initiatives. This may be affected by various financial, economic, and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our or our operating subsidiary’s control. If we are unable to obtain sufficient banking facilities on acceptable terms to meet its operational and expansion demands, this may put strains on our cash flow and our ability to successfully implement our expansion plans.
The insurance coverage of our Company may be inadequate to protect it from potential losses.
In Malaysia, we maintain insurance coverage against (i) liability for third-party bodily injury at our office premises, (ii) employees’ compensation insurance for our employees, (iii) property risks including theft and damage to property prior to sale of our products to customers, (iv) key person insurance; and (v) group medical insurance. In Indonesia, our coverage consists of motor vehicle insurance and marine cargo inter-insular insurance. We lack product liability insurance in both Malaysia and Indonesia to guard against claims by customers for defective or malfunctioning equipment after sale. The property all risks policy in Malaysia only covers risks prior to the sale of our products to customers.
In Indonesia, we enroll our employees in government-run insurance programs as required under Law No. 24 of 2011 on the Social Security Organizing Agency, as amended by Law No. 6 of 2023 on the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 2 of 2022 on Job Creation. These programs include Health Social Security and Manpower Social Security. Manpower Social Security specifically provides coverage for Occupational Accident Security, Death Security, Old Age Security, Pension Security, and Job Loss Security.
There is no assurance that all potential losses and expenses incurred from damages or liabilities in relation to business can be fully covered by the insurance taken out by us. To the extent that the insurance does not cover such losses, damage, or liabilities, or held liable for insured losses exceeding insurance coverage, the resulting payment to cover such losses, damage, or liabilities may have a material adversely effect on our business. We intend to address these gaps by procuring additional insurance coverage following post-offering to better safeguard against potential risks and liabilities.
We may be subject to litigation, arbitration, or other legal proceeding risks.
We may be subject to arbitration claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company, our directors and senior management are not a party to, and are not aware of any threat of, any legal proceeding that, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operations. Actions brought against us may result in settlements, awards, injunctions, fines, penalties, and other results adverse to us. A substantial judgment, settlement, fine, or penalty could be material to our operating results or cash flows for a particular period, depending on our results for that period, or could cause us significant reputational harm, which could harm our business prospects.
We rely on a stable workforce to carry on our business. If we experience any shortage of labor, industrial actions, strikes, or material increase in labor costs, our operations and financial results would be adversely affected.
We rely on a stable workforce to carry on our business. In view of the current situation in the labor market, there is no assurance that the supply of labor and average labor costs will be stable. We are susceptible to labor shortage, and our subcontracting costs include the labor costs of our subcontractors. If there is a significant increase in the costs of labor and we have to retain more labor by increasing their wages, the staff cost will increase and thus lower our profitability.
14
On the other hand, if we fail to retain our existing labor and/or recruit sufficient labor in a timely manner to cope with our existing or future manufacturing demands, we may not be able to complete our orders on schedule and may be subject to liquidated damages and/or incur a loss.
We may be unable to successfully implement our future business plans and objectives.
Our future business plans may be hindered by factors beyond our control, such as competition within the industry we operate; our ability to cope with high exposure to financial risk, operational risk, market risk, and credit risk as our business and customer base expands; and our ability to provide, maintain, and improve the level of human and other resources in servicing customers. As such, we cannot assure that our future business plans will materialize, that our objectives will be accomplished fully or partially, or that our business strategies will generate the intended benefits to us as initially contemplated. If we fail to implement our business development strategies successfully, our business performance could be materially and adversely affected.
We may in the future pursue acquisitions and joint ventures as part of our growth strategy. Any future acquisition or joint venture may result in exposure to potential liabilities of the acquired companies and significant transaction costs, and it may also present new risks associated with entering additional markets or offering new products or services and integrating the acquired companies or newly established joint ventures. Moreover, we may not have sufficient management, financial, and other resources to integrate companies we acquire or to successfully operate joint ventures, and we may be unable to profitably operate our expanded company structure. Additionally, any new business that we may acquire or joint ventures we may form, once integrated with our existing operations, may not produce expected or intended results.
Our business may be affected by technological changes and developments.
We may be affected by rapid changes in technology, changing market trends and evolving industry standards across all areas of our business. The risks we may face include but are not limited to:
(a) not being able to anticipate and adapt to new technology and developing technology trends in the heavy machinery;
(b) our competitors developing more innovative and efficient solutions as compared to us; and
(c) not being able to expand our suite of solutions and resources quickly enough to keep up with demand.
Accordingly, our success depends on our ability to innovate and adapt our solutions to meet evolving industry standards and our customers’ expectations. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, substantial time, capital, and other resources in understanding the needs of our customers and developing technologies, tools, features, and service offerings to meet those needs. Our current and future offerings might not be satisfactory to or broadly accepted by customers, or competitive with the offerings of our competitors. If our current or future offerings are unable to meet industry and customer expectations in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Furthermore, technological development is inherently challenging, time-consuming, and expensive, and the nature of development cycles may result in delays between the time we incur expenses and the time we make available new offerings and generate revenue, if any, from those investments. Anticipated customer demand for an offering we are developing could also decrease after the development cycle has commenced, and we would not be able to recoup substantial costs we incurred. In addition, we might not be able to identify, design, develop, implement, and utilize, in a timely and cost-effective manner, technology necessary for us to compete effectively, that such technology will be commercially successful, or that products and services developed by others will not render our offerings non-competitive or obsolete. If we do not achieve the desired outcome from our technological investments, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
A severe or prolonged downturn in the global economy, whether caused by economic or political instability, could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The rise in central bank interest rates to combat inflation and Russia’s war in Ukraine have contributed to the diminished expectations for economic growth around the world. While, growth in emerging markets and developing economies in Asia is projected to moderately grow, any prolonged slowdown in the global, Indonesian or Malaysian economies may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.
15
Our business is conducted only through our operating subsidiaries in Indonesia and Malaysia and is therefore heavily dependent on the economy of Indonesia and Malaysia. Economic conditions in Indonesia and Malaysia are highly sensitive to global cycle and money flows. If there is any significant decline in the Indonesia and Malaysia economy and we are unable to generate business in other geographic locations, our profitability and business prospects will be materially affected. Also, major market disruptions and adverse changes in market conditions and uncertainty in the regulatory climate worldwide may adversely affect our business and industry or impair our ability to borrow or make any future financial arrangements.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has destabilized the global economy. Russia’s military interventions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to, additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union, and other countries against Russia. This has led to a severe energy crisis in Europe with widespread effect, including increasing cost of living in the region, bringing with it tightening monetary conditions and appreciation of the US dollar against most other currencies. Although we do not have any direct exposure to Russia or the adjoining geographic regions the knockdown effects on the global economy and the ramifications from the war could affect our business. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military action or resulting sanctions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this section. We cannot predict the progress or outcome of the situation in Ukraine, as the conflict and governmental reactions are rapidly developing and beyond their control. Prolonged unrest, intensified military activities, or more extensive sanctions impacting the region could have a material adverse effect on the global economy, and such effect could in turn have a material adverse effect on the business outlook of our business.
Recent geopolitical developments, including the announcement on April 2, 2025, by U.S. President Donald J. Trump of sweeping tariffs on a wide range of imports — including significant duties on goods from countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia — may have an adverse effect on the global economy. Although we do not currently export to the United States, we intend to do so in the future, and such measures could limit our ability to enter or compete in that market. These tariffs may also contribute to broader economic uncertainty, disrupt regional trade flows, and increase costs in our supply chain. Any resulting slowdown in global economic activity or increased barriers to trade could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The effect and impact of the recently enacted Omnibus Law on job creation in Indonesia are not immediately known and subject to ongoing review.
On November 2, 2020, the Government of Indonesia issued the Omnibus Law under Law Number 2 of 2022 regarding Job Creation, which aims to attract investment, create new jobs, and stimulate the economy by, among other things, simplifying the licensing process and harmonizing various laws and regulations, and making policy decisions faster for the central government to respond to global or other changes or challenges. The Omnibus Law amended more than 75 laws and has issued at least 51 implementing regulations making the Omnibus Law one of the most sweeping regulatory reform in Indonesian history.
Following Constitutional Court Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020 dated November 25, 2021, Indonesia further enacted Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 regarding Job Creation. In 2023, this regulation was incorporated into Law under Law No. 6 of 2023, stipulating Government Regulation No. 2 of 2022 in lieu of Law No. 11 of 2020 regarding Job Creation.
The Omnibus Law introduces a number of new concepts, including a new risk-based assessment (i.e. low, medium and high risks) in issuing licenses for businesses, removes foreign ownership restrictions in various industries, simplifies environmental assessment requirements and licensing procedures, and provides a more flexible manpower regulations. Given the extensive breadth of changes introduced by the Omnibus Law and pending of its implementing regulations, there are still uncertainties on whether the implementing regulations will have any impact on Ultratrex (Indonesia)’s business and operation in Indonesia. Therefore, Ultratrex (Indonesia) is subject to the potential risk that compliance with the Omnibus Law and its implementing regulations may be challenging and may potentially distract our management, and may also require us to alter operations, which in turn could potentially impact our results of operations.
Current political and social events in Indonesia may adversely affect our business.
Since 1998, Indonesia has experienced a process of democratic change, resulting in political and social events that have highlighted the unpredictable nature of Indonesia’s changing political landscape. In 1999, Indonesia conducted its first free elections for representatives in parliament. In 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019 elections were held in Indonesia
16
to elect the President, Vice-President and representatives in parliament. Indonesia also has many political parties, without any one party holding a clear majority. Due to these factors, Indonesia has, from time to time, experienced political instability, as well as general social and civil unrest. For example, since 2000, thousands of Indonesians have participated in demonstrations in Jakarta and other Indonesian cities both for and against former presidents Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Soekarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and current President Joko Widodo as well as in response to specific issues, including fuel subsidy reductions, privatization of state assets, anti-corruption measures, decentralization and provincial autonomy, and the American-led military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Although these demonstrations were generally peaceful, some turned violent.
Furthermore, separatist movements and clashes between religious and ethnic groups have also resulted in social and civil unrest in parts of Indonesia, such as Aceh in the past and in Papua, where there have been clashes between supporters of those separatist movements and the Indonesian military, including continued activity in Papua, by separatist rebels that has led to violent incidents. There have also been inter-ethnic conflicts, for example in Kalimantan, as well as inter-religious conflict such as in Maluku and Poso.
Furthermore, labor issues have gained prominence in Indonesia. In 2003, the government enacted a new labor law that offered enhanced protections for employees. Periodic attempts to diminish these protections have sparked public protests as workers reacted to unfavorable policies. Also, these protests have recently arisen due to regulations seen as detrimental to them under the Omnibus Law, which significantly amended the 2003 labor law.
Indonesia effectively conducted its general election in February 2024, where President Prabowo Subianto emerged as the winner among the three candidates. Following the inauguration of President Prabowo Subianto in October 2024, the Indonesian government has emphasized continuity in pursuing large-scale infrastructure development, expansion of defense capabilities, and policies directed at supporting economic growth and stability. Recently, the Government of Indonesia established Danantara, a new institution tasked with managing the profits of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and undertaking investment activities, including exercising oversight of SOEs. The establishment of Danantara represents a significant policy shift, as it is expected to reshape both the investment landscape of Indonesian SOEs and the framework of SOE supervision. Nevertheless, the mandate, authority, and operational model of Danantara remain new and unprecedented, and its future development and impact on SOE business in Indonesia are uncertain. Market participants continue to closely monitor how Danantara will exercise its supervisory role, how it will interact with existing ministries and regulators, and whether its establishment may lead to changes in the autonomy or strategic direction of SOEs.
In parallel, Indonesia is experiencing heightened public debate concerning fiscal priorities, democratic governance, and the role of the military in civilian and economic affairs. These debates have coincided with recent nationwide demonstrations in Jakarta and other major cities. The protests, which initially began in response to controversy over the House of Representatives’ housing allowances, have since escalated into broader expressions of dissatisfaction over economic inequality, corruption, and institutional accountability. Instances of unrest have included attacks on public facilities, vandalism of government buildings, and confrontations with security forces, underscoring the depth of public frustration with current governance and economic management.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that social, political, and civil disturbances will not occur in the future or on a broader scale, or that such disturbances will not, directly or indirectly, materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Deterioration of political, economic and security conditions in Indonesia may adversely affect our operations and financial results.
Any major hostilities involving Malaysia and Indonesia, a substantial decline in the prevailing regional security situation or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Malaysia and Indonesia and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia)’s operations respectively and, as a result, our financial results.
Prolonged and/or widespread regional conflict in the Southeast Asia could have the following results, among others:
• capital market reassessment of risk and subsequent redeployment of capital to more stable areas making it more difficult for Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia) to obtain financing for potential development projects;
17
• security concerns in Indonesia, making it more difficult for Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia)’s personnel or supplies to enter or exit the country;
• security concerns leading to evacuation of Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia)’s personnel; and
• loss of property and/or interruption of Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia) and our business plans resulting from hostile acts could have a significant negative impact on our earnings and cash flow. In addition, we may not have enough insurance to cover any loss of property or other claims resulting from these risks.
Terrorist activities in Indonesia could destabilize Indonesia, which would adversely affect Ultratrex (Indonesia) and our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities.
There have been a number of terrorist incidents in Indonesia, including the May 2005 bombing in Central Sulawesi, the Bali bombings in October 2002 and October 2005 and the bombings at the JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta in July 2009, which resulted in deaths and injuries. On January 14, 2016, several coordinated bombings and gun shootings occurred in Jalan Thamrin, a main thoroughfare in Jakarta, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries.
Although the Government has successfully countered some terrorist activities in recent years and arrested several of those suspected of being involved in these incidents, terrorist incidents may continue and, if serious or widespread, might have a material adverse effect on investment and confidence in, and the performance of, the Indonesian economy and may also have a material adverse effect on Ultratrex (Indonesia) and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the market price of our securities.
Fluctuations in the value of the Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah may materially and adversely affect us.
Whilst our functional currency is the Malaysian Ringgit, depreciation and volatility of the Malaysian Ringgit against U.S. Dollar and Indonesian Rupiah could potentially affect Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia) and in turn, our business. A sharp depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah may potentially create difficulties in purchasing imported goods and services which are critical for Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia)’s operation. As shown during the Asian monetary crisis in 1998, imported goods became scarce as suppliers often chose to keep their stocks in anticipation of further deterioration of the Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah.
In addition, while the Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah has generally been freely convertible and transferable, from time to time, Bank Negara and Bank Indonesia has intervened in the currency exchange markets in furtherance of its policies, either by selling Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah or by using its foreign currency reserves to purchase Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah. We can give no assurance that the current floating exchange rate policy of Malaysian Ringgit and Bank Indonesia will not be modified or that the Government will take additional action to stabilize, maintain or increase the Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah’s value, or that any of these actions, if taken, will be successful. Modification of the current floating exchange rate policy could result in significantly higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages, capital or exchange controls, or the withholding of additional financial assistance by multinational lenders. This could result in a reduction of economic activity, an economic recession or loan defaults, and as a result, Ultratrex Malaysia and Ultratrex (Indonesia) may also face difficulties in funding Ultratrex Malaysia’s and Ultratrex (Indonesia)’s capital expenditures and in implementing their business strategy. Any of the foregoing consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters and events beyond our control, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Many parts of Indonesia, including areas where Ultratrex (Indonesia) operate, are prone to natural disasters such as floods, lightning strikes, cyclonic or tropical storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts, power outages and other events beyond Ultratrex (Indonesia)’s control. The Indonesian archipelago is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world as it is located in the convergence zone of three major lithospheric plates. It is subject to significant seismic activity that can lead to destructive earthquakes, tsunamis or tidal waves. Flash floods and more widespread flooding also occur regularly during the rainy season from November to April. Cities, especially Jakarta, are frequently subject to severe localized flooding which can result in major disruption and, occasionally, fatalities. Landslides regularly occur in rural areas during the wet season. From time to time, natural disasters have killed, affected or displaced large numbers of people and damaged our equipment. We cannot assure you that future natural disasters, such as the spread of the novel
18
coronavirus, will not have a significant impact on Ultratrex (Indonesia), us, or Indonesia or its economy. A significant earthquake, other geological disturbance or weather-related natural disaster in any of Indonesia’s more populated cities and financial centers could severely disrupt the Indonesian economy and undermine investor confidence, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We may be affected by uncertainty in the balance of power between local governments and the central government in Indonesia.
Indonesian Law No. 25 of 1999 regarding Fiscal Decentralization and Law No. 22 of 1999 regarding Regional Autonomy were passed by the Indonesian parliament in 1999 and further implemented by Government Regulation No. 38 of 2007. Law No. 22 of 1999 was later revoked and replaced by the provisions on regional autonomy in Law No. 32 of 2004, amended by Law No. 8 of 2005 and Law No. 12 of 2008. Law No. 32 of 2004 and its amendments were eventually superseded by Law No. 23 of 2014 regarding Regional Autonomy as amended by Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 2 of 2014, Law No. 2 of 2015, and Law No. 9 of 2015. Simultaneously, Law No. 25 of 1999, which initially addressed fiscal balance between the central and regional governments, was replaced by Law No. 33 of 2004 regarding the Fiscal Balance between the Central and the Regional Governments. Finally, the most recent amendment came with Law No. 1 of 2022, which focuses on the financial relationship between the central government and local governments. Currently, there is uncertainty in respect of the balance between the local and the central governments and the procedures for renewing licenses and approvals and monitoring compliance with environmental regulations. In addition, some local authorities have sought to levy additional taxes or obtain other contributions. There can be no assurance that a balance between local governments and the central government will be effectively established or that our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will not be adversely affected by dual compliance obligations and further uncertainty as to legal authority to levy taxes or promulgate other regulations affecting our business.
Risks Related to Our Securities and This Offering
An active trading market for our Class A Shares may not be established or, if established, may not continue and the trading price for our Class A Shares may fluctuate significantly.
We cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our Class A Shares will be established. If an active public market for our Class A Shares does not occur following the completion of this offering, the market price and liquidity of our shares may be materially and adversely affected. The public offering price for our shares in this offering was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriter based upon several factors, and we can provide no assurance that the trading price of our shares after this offering will not decline below the public offering price. As a result, investors in our shares may experience a significant decrease in the value of their shares.
We may not maintain the listing of our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our Class A Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
We intend to list our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market concurrently with this offering. In order to continue listing our shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must maintain certain financial and share price levels and we may be unable to meet these requirements in the future. We cannot assure you that our shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market in the future.
If Nasdaq delists our Class A Shares and we are unable to list our shares on another national securities exchange, we expect our shares could be quoted on an over-the-counter market in the United States. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
• a limited availability of market quotations for our Class A Shares;
• reduced liquidity for our Class A Shares;
• a determination that our Class A Shares are “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Class A Shares;
• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
19
As long as our Class A Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, U.S. federal law prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating their sale. However, the law does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar their sale. Further, if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our shares.
The trading price of our Class A Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
The trading price of our Class A Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of the broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in Indonesia have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:
• fluctuations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow;
• changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
• additions or departures of key personnel;
• release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and
• potential litigation or regulatory investigations
Any of these factors may result in significant and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our shares will trade.
In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may experience extreme stock price volatility, including any stock-run up, unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Shares.
In addition to the risks addressed above, our Class A Shares may be subject to extreme volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of our business. In particular, our Class A Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices, given that we will have relatively small public floats after this offering. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects.
Holders of our Class A Shares may also be unable to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Class A Shares. Furthermore, the potential extreme volatility may confuse the public investors of the value of our stock, distort the market perception of our stock price and our company’s financial performance and public image, negatively affect the long-term liquidity of our Class A Shares, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance. If we encounter such volatility, including any rapid stock price increases and declines seemingly unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, it will likely make it difficult and confusing for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Shares and understand the value thereof.
20
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A Shares, the market price for our Class A Shares and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts downgrade our shares, the market price for our shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume of our shares to decline.
Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on price appreciation of our Class A Shares for a return on your investment.
We currently intend to retain all of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our shares as a source for any future dividend income. Our board of Directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands, Singapore, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Japanese laws, as the case may be. Even if our board of Directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiary, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors as determined by our board of Directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Class A Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Class A Shares. There is no guarantee that our Class A Shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased our shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our shares and you may even lose your entire investment.
The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Class A Shares could adversely affect their market price.
Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Shares in the public market after the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur could adversely affect the market price of our shares and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. Prior to the sale of our shares in this offering, we have 15,000,000 Class A Shares outstanding. The shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. There will be 16,250,000 Class A Shares outstanding immediately after this offering, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. In connection with this offering, our directors and officers named in the section “Management,” and holders of 5% or more of our shares, have agreed not to sell any shares until 180 days after the date of the underwriting agreement without the prior written consent of the representative of the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, unless the underwriters release these securities from these restrictions. We cannot predict what effect, if any, the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our shares. See “Underwriting” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this offering.
Short selling may drive down the market price of our Class A Shares.
Short selling is the practice of selling shares that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical shares back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the shares between the sale of the borrowed shares and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller’s interest for the price of the shares to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions and allegations regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling the shares short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to the selling of shares in the market. If we were to become the subject of any unfavorable publicity, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend ourselves. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality.
21
Because our public offering price per share is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
If you purchase shares in this offering, you will pay substantially more than our net tangible book value per share. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of US$3.09 per share, representing the difference between our as pro forma adjusted net tangible book value per share of US$0.76 as of December 31, 2024, after giving effect to the reorganization of the Company, and the net proceeds to us from this offering, assuming no change to the number of shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and an assumed public offering price of US$4.00 per share (being the low end of the initial public offering price range). See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our shares will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.
You must rely on the judgment of our management as to the uses of the net proceeds from this offering, and such uses may not produce income or increase our share price.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as set out in “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us in this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our efforts to achieve or maintain profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from this offering may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.
If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our securities may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.
We are a non-U.S. corporation and, as such, we will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which is known as a PFIC, for any taxable year if, for such year, either:
• At least 75% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or
• The average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year that produce passive income or that are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.
Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.
If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who holds our securities, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.
While we do not expect to become a PFIC, because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test may be determined by reference to the market price of our Class A Shares, fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Shares may cause us to become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. The determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC will also depend, in part, on the composition of our income and assets. If we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of being a PFIC may substantially increase. Because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules and PFIC status is a factual determination made annually after the close of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year.
For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if we were determined to be a PFIC, see “Material Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.”
As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards.
As a foreign private issuer that has applied to list our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we rely on a provision in the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards that allows us to follow Cayman Islands law with regard to certain aspects of corporate governance. This allows us to follow certain corporate governance practices that differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
22
Following this offering, we will rely on home country practice to be exempted from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, namely (i) there will not be a necessity to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with independent Directors; and (ii) there will be no requirement for the Company to obtain shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in connection with (a) the acquisition of stock or assets of another company; (b) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (c) a change of control; and (d) transactions other than public offerings.
Our controlling shareholder has substantial influence over the Company. Its interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and it could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.
Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, the controlling shareholder, Mr. Halim directly control an aggregate of approximately 38% and 100% of our issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively. Upon completion of this offering, Mr. Halim will control approximately 37.5% and 100% of our issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively.
Accordingly, our controlling shareholder will have considerable influence or control over the outcome of any corporate transactions or other matters submitted to the shareholders for approval, including (i) mergers, consolidations, (ii) the election or removal of Directors, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, (iv) making amendments to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, (v) whether to issue additional shares, including to him, (vi) employment, including compensation arrangements, and (vii) the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our largest shareholder may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. Without the consent of our controlling shareholder, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our shares may cause a material decline in the value of our shares. For more information regarding our principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, see “Principal Shareholders”.
Our controlling shareholder may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Because our controlling shareholder has control over our corporate matters, his interests may differ from the interests of our Company as a whole and other shareholders. Our controlling shareholder could, for example, appoint directors and management without the requisite experience, relations or knowledge to steer our company properly because of their affiliations or loyalty, and such actions may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. Furthermore, he could cause our Company to enter into related party transactions with other entities he has an interest in at unfavorable terms to our Company. Currently, we do not have any arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest between the shareholder and our company. If we cannot resolve any conflict of interest or dispute between us and the shareholders, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could disrupt our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.
As a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq Capital Market, we may choose to exempt our Company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.
We are and, upon the completion of this offering, will continue to be a “controlled company” as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, because one of our shareholders holds more than 50% of our voting power. As a result, we are eligible for certain exemptions from the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. We currently intend to rely on the exemption from the requirement that a majority of our board of directors be independent directors and accordingly, our board of directors will not consist of a majority of independent directors. We do not currently intend to rely on other exemptions available to controlled companies. However, for so long as we remain a controlled company as defined under that rule, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may in the future rely, on certain other exemptions from corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including (1) the requirement that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by either a Nomination Committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors and (2) the requirement that we have a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws. Because we currently rely, and may in the future rely, on one or more of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.
We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our Directors and us, actions by minority
23
shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law. Decisions of the Privy Council (which is the final Court of Appeal for British overseas territories such as the Cayman Islands) are binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. Decisions of the English courts, and particularly the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal, are which are generally of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. Decisions of courts in other Commonwealth jurisdictions are similarly of persuasive but not binding authority. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a different body of securities laws than the United States and provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will generally recognize and enforce a judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits, provided such judgment is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; is final; is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and was not obtained by fraud; and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or public policy of the Cayman Islands.
Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by these companies, and the register of mortgages and charges of these companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Subject to the foregoing, our Directors are not required under our Memorandum and Articles of Association to make our corporate records available for inspection by our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder resolution or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as U.S. states. Currently, we plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter. Accordingly, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
As a result of all of the above, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the board of Directors or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a company incorporated in a U.S. state. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in a U.S. state and their shareholders, see “Certain Cayman Islands Company Considerations — Differences in Corporate Law.”
We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for so long as we are an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.
The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period, although we have adopted certain new and revised accounting standards based on transition guidance permitted under such standards earlier. As a result of this election, our future financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates for these new or revised accounting standards.
24
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.
Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:
• the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;
• the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
• the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and
• the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD.
We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each financial year. In addition, we intend to publish our financial results on a semi-annual basis through press releases distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you if you were investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.
As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last Business Day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on December 31, 2025. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of our Directors or Executive Officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid the loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, Directors and 10% shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of Nasdaq. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer.
Our management team lacks experience in managing a U.S.-listed public company and complying with laws applicable to such company, the failure of which may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Our current management team lacks experience in managing a company publicly traded in the U.S., interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to U.S.-listed public companies. Prior to the completion of this offering, we are a privately owned company operating our businesses mainly in Indonesia and Malaysia. As a result of this offering, our Company will become subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws. Specifically, our management currently has no U.S.-specific experience in complying with such laws, regulations, and obligations, and it may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to becoming a U.S.-listed public company. However, we have engaged and will continue to engage US legal counsel, US auditor, and other professionals well versed in this area of practice to assist with our transition into the U.S. market and strive to remain compliant with U.S. laws and regulations. As a result, since these new obligations will require additional and significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business and operations, our business, financial conditions, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
25
We will incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of the listing of our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
We will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses as a public reporting company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company. For example, we will be required to comply with the additional requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq rules, including applicable corporate governance practices. We expect that compliance with these requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we expect that our management and other personnel will need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. We cannot predict or estimate the number of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs.
In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidelines are provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may also initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence.
Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, is designed to prevent fraud. There can be no assurance that our internal controls will continue to be effectively implemented.
Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which may result in volatility in and a decline in the market price of the Class A Shares.
Certain judgments obtained against us or our auditor by our shareholders may not be enforceable.
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Our operating subsidiaries are incorporated and are located in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. Substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our current Directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against us, our Directors and officers, or our auditor judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our Directors and officers. In addition, it may be difficult for a shareholder to bring an original action in an appropriate foreign court to enforce liabilities against us, our Directors and officers, or our auditor based upon the United States Federal securities laws. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.” As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulties in protecting their interests through actions against us, our officers, Directors or major shareholders, or our auditor than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.
26
Further issuances of Class B Shares may result in a dilution of the percentage ownership of the existing holders of Class A Shares as a total proportion of Class A Shares in the Company.
The Company may issue more Class B Shares. The issuance of additional Class B Shares may result in dilution to holders of our Class A Shares. Each Class A Share entitles its holder to one (1) vote per share, while each Class B Share carries twenty (20) votes per share. As a result, holders of Class B Shares have significantly greater voting power than holders of Class A Shares. If we decide to issue more Class B Shares, it could have the effect of increasing the overall voting power of Class B Shareholders relative to Class A Shareholders, potentially diminishing the influence and control of Class A Shareholders over our company’s affairs.
This dilution in voting power could impact the ability of Class A Shareholders to influence important corporate decisions, including those related to corporate governance, mergers, acquisitions, and other significant transactions. It may also result in decisions that are not aligned with the interests of Class A Shareholders.
Our dual-class voting structure may render our Class A Shares ineligible for inclusion in certain stock market indices, and thus adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of our Class A Shares.
Certain shareholder advisory firms have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, to exclude companies with multiple classes of shares and companies whose public shareholders hold no more than 5% of total voting power from being added to such indices. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of our Ordinary Shares may prevent the inclusion of our Class A Shares in such indices and may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class A Shares. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A Shares.
Our Company may grant employee share options and other share-based awards in the future. Our Company will recognize any share-based compensation expenses in our statements of comprehensive loss. Any grant of employee share options and other share-based awards in the future may have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.
Our Company may grant to our employees, directors and consultants employee share options and other share-based awards in the future to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. As a result of these potential future grants, we expect to continue to incur significant share-based compensation expenses in the future. The amount of these expenses is based on the fair value of the share-based awards. We account for compensation costs for all share options using a fair-value based method and recognize expenses in our statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The expenses associated with share-based compensation will decrease our profitability, perhaps materially, and the additional securities issued under share-based compensation plans will dilute the ownership interests of our shareholders. However, if we limit the scope of our share-based compensation plan, we may not be able to attract or retain key personnel who expect to be compensated by options.
Our Company may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our Company is subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute to obtain or retain business. Our Company will have operations, agreements with third parties, and sales in South-East Asia, which may experience corruption. Our existing business in Asia creates the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of these company’s employees, consultants, or sales agents because these parties are not always subject to their control. It will be our Company’s policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by these employees. Also, the existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective. The employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company, and we may engage in conduct for which our Company might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions. Our Company may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect the business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which our Company invest or acquires.
27
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Our Company is a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides less protection for investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the U.S. federal courts.
All of our current operations are conducted outside of the United States and all of our current assets are located outside of the United States, with the majority of our operations and current assets being located in Malaysia and Indonesia. Aside from our independent director nominee, Marc Hideo Iyeki, all of the Directors and Executive Officers of our Company reside outside the United States and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States.
As a result, it may not be possible for you to:
• effect service of process within the United States upon our non-U.S. resident directors or on us;
• enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in the U.S. courts in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws;
• enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in courts of jurisdictions outside the United States in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; and
• bring an original action in an appropriate foreign court to enforce liabilities against the Company or others based on U.S. securities laws.
We have appointed Cogency Global Inc., whose registered address is at 122 E. 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10168, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.
Cayman Islands
Ogier, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of the U.S. courts obtained against us or our Directors or Executive Officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws or any U.S. state; or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our Directors or Executive Officers that are predicated upon the U.S. securities laws or the securities laws of any U.S. state.
We have been advised by Ogier that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands would in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgement, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgement: (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final; (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (e) was not obtained by fraud; and (f) is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.
Malaysia
Malaysia has a statutory framework under the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1958 (REJA) which allows for judgments from certain countries to be enforced. However, the United States is not one of the countries covered under REJA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Malaysian courts may still recognize and enforce a United States court judgment based on common law principles if the judgment satisfies specific legal criteria, including being a final and conclusive judgment, is issued by a competent jurisdiction in the United States, due process was observed in
28
obtaining the judgment, the judgment is not contrary to Malaysian public policy or does not involve matters that are non-enforceable in Malaysia, for example judgments arising from claims for taxes or penalties and the judgment must not have been obtained through fraud,
Indonesia
Indonesian courts will not recognize judgments of foreign courts, and it will be necessary for any matter in which judgment has been obtained in a foreign court to be re-litigated in the Indonesian courts in order to enforce in Indonesia. However, a foreign or international arbitral award can be recognized and enforced in Indonesia as Indonesia has ratified the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (“New York Convention”) through Presidential Decision No. 34 of 1981. The procedures for recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards are further regulated by Arbitration Law.
A foreign arbitral award must first be registered at the District Court of Central Jakarta. The registration must be applied by submitting the application with certain supporting documents. A foreign arbitral award that could be recognized and enforced is an arbitral award that:
(i) the award is issued by an arbitrator or arbitral tribunal in a country with which Indonesia has a treaty, whether bilateral or multilateral, regarding the recognition and enforcement of international arbitral award;
(ii) the award is in the domain of commercial law according to Indonesian Law;
(iii) the award does not violate Indonesian rules of public policy.
The procedure for enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Indonesia is regulated by Law number 30 of 1999 and Indonesian Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 1990 regarding the Procedure for the Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, which applies both to arbitral awards made in states bound by the New York Convention and to arbitral awards from states having a relevant bilateral agreement with Indonesia. In addition, to enforce the award it is necessary to register the award with the Clerk of Central Jakarta District Court, obtain a writ of execution (known as an “Exequatur”) from the Chairman of the Central Jakarta District Court or, in case the award which involves Indonesia as one of the parties in dispute, from the Supreme Court of Indonesia (through the Central Jakarta District Court). With respect to this matter, we draw your attention, however, that there have been a number of instances where Indonesian courts have refused to give effect to the enforcement of arbitration agreements or foreign arbitration awards for other specified or unspecified reasons.
Japan
In Japan, judgments of foreign courts can be recognized and enforced subject to the certain conditions. Under Article 118 of the Code of Civil Procedure (Act No. 109 of 1996), a final and binding judgment rendered by a foreign court is valid only if it meets all of the following requirements:
(i) the jurisdiction of the foreign court is recognized pursuant to laws and regulations, conventions, or treaties;
(ii) the defeated defendant has been served (excluding service by publication or any other service similar thereto) with the requisite summons or order for the commencement of litigation, or has appeared without being so served;
(iii) the content of the judgment and the litigation proceedings are not contrary to public policy in Japan;
(iv) a guarantee of reciprocity is in place.
In relation to the requirement (iv), judgment of U.S. courts may be recognized and enforced in general as a guarantee of reciprocity is in place between Japan and the United States of America. However, a judgment which orders the payment of punitive damages, for example, is deemed to be contrary to public policy in Japan under the requirement (iii).
In order to enforce a judgment of foreign court, an application for an execution judgment shall be filed at the court under Article 24 of the Civil Execution Act (Act No. 4 of 1979).
Foreign or international arbitral awards can also be recognized and enforced in Japan as Japan has ratified the New York Convention.

(1) Reflects the sale of Class A Shares in this offering (excluding any Class A Share that may be sold as a result of the underwriter exercising its over-allotment option) at an assumed initial public offering price of $4.00 per share, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. Additional paid-in capital reflects the net proceeds we expect to receive, after deducting the underwriting discounts, estimated offering expenses payable by us and advisory fees. We estimate that such net proceeds will be approximately US$3,108,000.
(2) Assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option.

Investors purchasing our Class A Shares in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of their Class A Shares. Dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value represents the difference between the initial public offering price of our Class A Shares and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class A Shares immediately after the offering.
Net tangible book value per share is determined at any date by subtracting our total liabilities and total intangible assets from the total book value of our total assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding at that date. As at date of this registration statement, 15,000,000 of Class A Shares was issued for the acquisitions of Ultratrex Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., Ultratrex Machinery Sdn. Bhd., PT Ultratrex Indonesia, PT Ultratrex Machinery Indonesia and Ultratrex Co., Ltd. On September 3, 2025, the Company gave effect to a surrender of 3,750,000 Class A Shares. Following this, 15,000,000 Class A Shares and 5,000,000 Class B Shares remain issued and outstanding. Total number of Class A Shares will be 16,250,000 upon completion of initial public offering of 1,250,000 Class A Shares.
Historical net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding Class A Shares. After giving effect to the sale of Class A Shares in this offering by the Company at an initial public offering price of US$4.00 per share, after deducting US$350,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately US$1,542,000 the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2024 would have been approximately US$0.76 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of US$0.91 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of US$3.09 per share to new investors purchasing Class A Shares in this offering.
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors.

A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of US$4.00 per Class A Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value per share by US$0.98, and increase (decrease) dilution to new investors by US$0.22 per Class A Share, in each case assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A Shares in this offering, the as adjusted net tangible book value after the offering would be US$0.94 per share, the increase in net tangible book value to existing shareholders would be US$0.17 per share, and the dilution to new investors would be US$3.06 per share, in each case assuming an initial public offering price of US$4.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.
The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of December 31, 2024, the differences between existing shareholders and the new investors with respect to the number of Class A Shares purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per Class A Share before deducting the estimated commissions to the underwriter and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

While we currently have no plans to distribute dividends on our Class A Shares, in the event we consider distributing a dividend in the future, our Board shall take into account, among other things, the following factors when deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount: (a) operating and financial results; (b) cash flow situation; (c) business conditions and strategies; (d) future operations and earnings; (e) taxation considerations; (f) interim dividend paid, if any; (g) capital requirement and expenditure plans; (h) interests of shareholders; (i) statutory and regulatory restrictions; (j) any restrictions on payment of dividends; and (k) any other factors that our Board may consider relevant. The payment of dividends on our Class A Shares, in certain circumstances is also subject to the approval of our Shareholders, the Companies Act and our Memorandum and Articles of Association as well as any other applicable laws. Currently, we do not have any predetermined dividend distribution ratio. Our Class B Shares are not entitled to any dividends.
Even if our Board decides to pay dividends on our Class A Shares, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. In addition, we are a holding company and depend on the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our Class A Shares.
There are no foreign exchange controls or foreign exchange regulations under current applicable laws of the various places of incorporation of our significant subsidiaries that would affect the payment or remittance of dividends.

Our amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers play a crucial role in removing pollutants and sediments from water bodies, helping to rehabilitate natural habitats and improve water quality. Our commitment to environmental restoration ensures that our operations benefit both wildlife and human communities.
Beyond environmental cleanups, Ultratrex contributes to land reclamation projects aimed at urban improvement and infrastructure development. Our advanced amphibious machinery and dredgers facilitate the creation of new land for housing, commercial use, and public infrastructure, supporting sustainable urban growth and development.
We manufacture an extensive range of amphibious machinery, which includes a diverse selection of versatile models, such as amphibious excavators, long reach arm, and excavator mounted sectional barge. These machines are available in both customized configurations and standard variants, accommodating all major brand manufacturers, and covering a weight range from 5 to 50 tons. Designed to operate in sensitive environments, our amphibious machinery minimizes ecological disruption, making them ideal for projects in wetlands, marshes, and other vulnerable areas.
Aquatic weed harvesters are environmentally friendly machines designed to control excessive aquatic plant growth and remove floating solid waste. These heavy-duty harvesters are highly effective for managing both emergent and floating vegetation. Ultratrex offers a range of models depending on the type of weeds, lake size, desired percentage of weed removal, and the required harvesting speed.
We also excel in manufacturing dredgers that meet the specific needs of each project. Our dredgers are engineered to enhance operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. We offer a comprehensive range of equipment, technology, and services that support sustainable dredging practices, which is vital for maintaining and restoring aquatic ecosystems. We provide comprehensive support to our customers throughout the project lifecycle, assisting them from the project planning stages to the execution stage, ensuring optimal results for their projects.

The Group is involved in manufacturing, trading and leasing of amphibious excavators, dredgers machineries and amphibious harvesters, leasing of all kinds of hydraulic cranes, related heavy machineries and spares parts primarily through Ultratrex Machinery Sdn. Bhd. (“UMSB”) and PT Ultratrex Indonesia.
UMSB
The reorganization begins with UMSB, which was under common control of Mr. Salim Podiono (“Mr. Salim”), Mr. Halim Podiono (“Mr. Halim”), Mr. Nursalim Podiono (“Mr. Nursalim”), Mr. Taslim Podiono (“Mr. Taslim”) (each a “Concert Party” and collectively the “Concert Parties”) each holding 20% of the equity interest in UMSB. Mr. Wong Kok Seng (“Mr. Wong”) owned the remaining 20% of the equity interest. On December 6, 2023, Mr. Halim transferred his 20% equity interest to Mr. Salim. Notwithstanding the transfer, the Group determined that common control of UMSB remain unchanged based on the following factors: (i) after the transfer, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim collectively held 80% of the equity interest in UMSB, and these three parties along with Mr. Halim have consistently acted and continued to act in alignment with one another on key business and operational decisions of UMSB, (ii) Mr. Halim remained actively involved in the overall management of the Group and continued to influence key business and operational decisions, including those of UMSB, through his roles as director at UMSB and Ultratrex Indonesia, and his close working relationship with the remaining shareholders of UMSB. Accordingly, based on the aligned direction and control historically exercised by this group of individuals and Mr. Halim’s continued involvement key business and operational decisions, the Group determined that following the transfer of Mr. Halim’s 20% equity interest in UMSB to Mr. Salim, UMSB remained in common control with the other Group entities which Mr. Halim holds a controlling equity interest.
Incorporation of PT Ultratrex Machinery Indonesia (“PT UMI”)
On October 20, 2022, PT UMI was incorporated in Indonesia by Mr. Wong and Mr. Chua Kok Guan, who held 99% and 1% of the equity interest in PT UMI, respectively. The incorporation and ownership structure were carried out pursuant to a mandate in the form of a written agreement dated October 18, 2022, between UMSB and Mr. Wong (the “Mandate”), under which Mr. Wong was expressly appointed and authorized by UMSB to incorporate PT UMI and to hold 99% of the equity interest in his personal capacity solely for and on behalf of UMSB. The Mandate further provided that Mr. Wong would transfer his entire equity interest in PT UMI to UMSB or its designee upon request, and no consideration was payable between the parties in respect of such transfer. The cost of investment of approximately RM3.0 million required to incorporate PT UMI was to be borne by UMSB.
36
De facto control by the Group1 over PT UMI
Although UMSB did not hold the majority of the voting rights in PT UMI during the period from its incorporation to April 1, 2024, the Group, which was assessed to be under common control of Mr. Salim, Mr. Halim, Mr. Nursalim, Mr. Taslim and Mr. Wong, determined that it had de facto control over PT UMI from the time of incorporation and consolidated it as a subsidiary of UMSB from such date. The Group was deemed to have had the power to govern PT UMI’s financial and operating policies and obtain benefits from its activities based on the following factors: (i) Mr. Wong held his 99% equity interest solely as a nominee pursuant to the Mandate and did not contribute capital or assume economic risk; (ii) UMSB funded the full cost of incorporation and bore the financial risks and rewards associated with PT UMI’s activities; (iii) pursuant to the Mandate, Mr. Wong was contractually obligated to transfer all of his shares in PT UMI to UMSB or its designee upon request, and he held such shares solely for the benefit of UMSB, which limited his discretion and reinforced UMSB’s practical ability to direct the relevant activities of PT UMI and to affect returns from such activities; and (iv) there is no history or arrangement under which Mr. Wong collaborated with any non-controlling interests or exercised voting rights independently of UMSB. Furthermore, PT UMI had minimal business operations from the time of its incorporation until April 1, 2024, when Mr. Wong formally surrendered his 99% equity interest to UMSB in accordance with the Mandate. The cost of investment was subsequently repaid to Mr. Wong at book value in conjunction with the share transfer. Accordingly, PT UMI has been consolidated as a subsidiary of UMSB from the date of its incorporation.
PT Ultratrex Indonesia
On August 23, 2010, PT Ultratrex Indonesia was incorporated by Mr. Halim, Ms. Selvia and Mr. Jalu with 98% of the equity interest held by Mr. Halim and 1% of the equity interest held by each Ms. Selvia and Mr. Jalu. The Group2 determined that it had de facto control of PT Ultratrex Indonesia even though it owned less than 50% of the voting rights. This is because the Group is considered to exercise common control over PT Ultratrex Indonesia with a deemed 98% equity interest through Mr. Halim. The Group made this assessment based on the following factors: (i) there is no history of Mr. Halim collaborating with non-controlling interests to exercise their votes collectively or to outvote the Group, (ii) Mr. Halim’s decisions with respect to PT Ultratrex Indonesia have historically been aligned with and guided by the strategic objectives of the Group and (iii) the Group has provided operational and managerial support to PT Ultratrex Indonesia, and the day-to-day operations of PT Ultratrex Indonesia have been closely coordinated with other entities within the Group. On March 26, 2024, Mr. Jalu transferred 1% of equity interest to Mr. Halim. As a result, the deemed equity interest of the Group in PT Ultratrex Indonesia increased from 98% to 99%.
Incorporation of Ultratrex Co., Ltd
On January 27, 2015, Ultratrex Co., Ltd was incorporated by Mr. Halim with 100% of equity interest being held by Ultrator Co., Ltd. Ultrator Co., Ltd is owned by Mr. Halim and Mr. Yoshio Irie with 90% and 10% of the equity interest, respectively. The Group3 determined that it had de facto control of Ultratrex Co., Ltd even though it owned less than 50% of the voting rights. This is because the Group is considered to exercise common control over Ultratrex Co., Ltd with a deemed 100% equity interest through Mr. Halim’s majority ownership and effective control of Ultrator Co., Ltd.4 The Group made this assessment based on the following factors: (i) there is no history of Mr. Halim collaborating with non-controlling shareholders of Ultrator Co., Ltd to outvote the Group and influence Ultrator Co., Ltd’s exercise of voting rights in Ultratrex Co., Ltd, (ii) Mr. Halim’s decisions with respect to Ultrator Co., Ltd and Ultratrex Co., Ltd have historically been aligned with and guided by the strategic objectives
____________
1 Although PT UMI is included within the definition of the “Group”, such inclusion reflects the Group’s determination that it had de facto control over PT UMI from the time of its incorporation. Accordingly references to the Group include PT UMI only after such control was assessed to exist for consolidation purposes.
2 Although PT Ultratrex Indonesia is included within the definition of the “Group”, such inclusion reflects the Group’s determination that it had de facto control over PT Ultratrex Indonesia from the time of its incorporation. Accordingly references to the Group include PT Ultratrex Indonesia only after such control was assessed to exist for consolidation purposes.
3 Although Ultratrex Co., Ltd is included within the definition of the “Group”, such inclusion reflects the Group’s determination that it had de facto control over Ultratrex Co., Ltd from the time of its incorporation. Accordingly references to the Group include Ultratrex Co., Ltd only after such control was assessed to exist for consolidation purposes.
4 Mr. Halim holds 90% of Ultrator Co., Ltd., which owns 100% of Ultratrex Co., Ltd. Through his majority ownership of Ultrator Co., Ltd., Mr. Halim has effective control over its decisions, including the disposal of shares in Ultratrex Co., Ltd. As such, he may be deemed to hold a 100% equity interest in Ultratrex Co., Ltd. for control and consolidation purposes.
37
of the Group and (iii) the Group has provided operational and managerial support to Ultratrex Co., Ltd, and the day-to-day operations of Ultratrex Co., Ltd have been closely coordinated with other entities within the Group. Subsequently on November 29, 2024, as part of the reorganization, Ultratrex Singapore acquired 100% of equity interest in Ultratrex Co., Ltd from Ultrator Co., Ltd.
Incorporation of Ultratrex Singapore and the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement
On July 3, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore was incorporated by Mr. Salim, Mr. Halim, Mr. Nursalim, Mr. Taslim and Mr. Wong with 20% of the equity interest each. Upon the incorporation of Ultratrex Singapore, the Concert Parties entered into an Acting-in-Concert Agreement dated July 3, 2024 (the “Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement”) to exercise their votes as actors in concert.
Pursuant to the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, the Concert Parties were contractually obligated to act in concert and make joint decisions on all matters that require the decisions of the shareholders of Ultratrex Singapore. Under the constitution of Ultratrex Singapore, such matters requiring the decisions of shareholders include: approving any amendments to the company’s constitution; authorizing any alteration of the company’s share capital, including increases, consolidations, sub-divisions, conversions, cancellations or reductions; issuing redeemable preference shares; appointing or removing directors at a general meeting; approving the variation or abrogation of rights attaching to any class of shares; appointing and removing auditors and approving their remuneration; declaring dividends; and any other matter expressly reserved for determination by the members under the Singapore Companies Act 1967 or the constitution of the company from time to time.
The terms of the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement provided that the Concert Parties shall consult with each other and vote among themselves on such matters, with each Concert Party entitled to one (1) vote, regardless of their respective shareholdings in Ultratrex Singapore. If the vote results in a unanimous decision between the Concert Parties, joint action shall be taken accordingly based on the outcome of such vote. However, in the event that the Concert Parties are unable to reach a unanimous decision in relation to any matter that requires action in concert, a decision that is made by Mr. Halim shall be deemed to represent the decision of all Concert Parties and shall be binding on all Concert Parties, and each Concert Party shall act in concert with other Concert Parties and take joint action based on the results of such decision. Accordingly, under the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, Mr. Halim exercised de facto control over Ultratrex Singapore. There was no consideration exchanged among the shareholders in connection with the formation of the Concert Parties and execution of the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement. The Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement remained in force until only one Concert Party remained a shareholder, and therefore the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement came to an end on June 30, 2025 upon the acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of 100% of Ultratrex Singapore as part of the reorganization of the Group.
Incorporation of Ultratrex Inc. and the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement
On August 15, 2024, Ultratrex Inc. was incorporated, with Mr. Halim holding 100% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company, consisting only of Class B Shares at the time of incorporation. Upon the incorporation of Ultratrex Inc., the Concert Parties entered into another acting-in-concert agreement dated August 15, 2024, in substantially the same form and with the same material terms as the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, to exercise their votes as actors in concert in relation to Ultratrex Inc. (the “Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, the Concert Parties are contractually obligated to act in concert and make joint decisions on all matters that require the decisions of the shareholders of the Company. Under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, such matters requiring the decisions of shareholders of the Company include: approving any amendments to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association; authorizing any alteration of the Company’s share capital, including increases, consolidations, sub-divisions or cancellations; appointing or removing Directors at a general meeting, including in circumstances where there are insufficient Directors; approving the winding up or liquidation of the Company and the distribution of assets on a winding up; approving any variation or abrogation of the rights attaching to any class of shares; appointing and removing auditors; declaring dividends and approving other distributions (subject to the recommendation of the board of Directors); and any other matter expressly reserved for determination by the Members under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or the Articles of Association from time to time.
The Concert Parties are required to vote and act in concert in the same manner as the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, including that in the event that the Concert Parties are unable to reach a unanimous decision in relation to any matter that requires action in concert, a decision that is made by Mr. Halim shall be deemed to represent the decision of all Concert Parties and shall be binding on all Concert Parties. Accordingly, under the Ultratrex Cayman
38
AIC Agreement, Mr. Halim exercised de facto control over the Company. There was no consideration exchanged among the shareholders in connection with the formation of the Concert Parties and execution of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement. The Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement remains in force until only one Concert Party remains a shareholder, and therefore the agreement will remain in force after both the acquisition of Ultratrex Inc. of Ultratrex Singapore and of the offering since the Concert Parties will continue to remain shareholders of Ultratrex Inc. Under the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, if any of the Concert Parties transfers its shares of the Company, as a prerequisite, unless waived in writing by all of the other Concert Parties, it shall ensure that the transferee is bound by the provisions of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, and the transferee upon receiving the transfer of the shares shall be deemed as having agreed to the provisions of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement and having agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement.

On December 12, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore and Mr. Halim subscribed for the issuance of 79,200 and 800 additional ordinary shares respectively. Following the issuance, the equity interest of Ultratrex Singapore and Mr. Halim in PT Ultratrex Indonesia remained unchanged at 99% and 1% respectively.
Share Swap and Reorganization of Ultratrex Inc.
On June 30, 2025, Ultratrex Inc. acquired 100% of equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore. The acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of a 100% equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore will be accounted for as a business combination under common control, in accordance with the principles of IFRS 3 Business Combinations of entities under Common Control using the predecessor method, as permitted by the principles of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Under this method, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities were recognized at their pre-acquisition carrying amounts and no goodwill was recognized. The difference between the purchase consideration and the net assets acquired was recorded in the merger reserve in equity. The comparative information was not restated and in line with the Group’s accounting policy for common control transactions, which aims to ensure consistency and reflect the continuity of interests. This accounting treatment is justified by the binding effect of both the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement and Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement.
Prior to the acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of Ultratrex Singapore, the four Concert Parties, Mr. Halim, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim, each held 20% equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore. Since the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement was in effect then, Mr. Halim exercised de facto control over Ultratrex Singapore. Following the completion of the acquisition and share swap, Mr. Halim, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim each held 38%, 24%, 12% and 12% of the Class A Shares in Ultratrex Inc., respectively, with Mr. Halim holding 100% of the Class B Shares in Ultratrex Inc. As a result, Mr. Halim holds 90.5% of the total voting power of Ultratrex Inc. immediately prior to the offering and will hold 89.4% of the total voting power following the offering. The allocation of equity interests and voting rights in Ultratrex Inc. was determined by mutual agreement among the shareholders in connection with the reorganization of the Group. Since the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement is in effect, Mr. Halim continues to exercise de facto control over Ultratrex Inc. after the acquisition and share swap. Accordingly, because of the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement and Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, Mr. Halim may be deemed to have maintained control over the Group throughout the acquisition and reorganization, and there has been no change in control as a result of the reorganization.
In view of this, common control is deemed to have been in effect since the incorporation of each entity within the Group. The reorganization was completed on June 30, 2025. As a result of the reorganization, the Company became the holding company for a group of companies that will be referred to as the Group. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
39
have been presented using the pooling of interest method whereby the Company is shown as if it had been the holding company from the beginning of the first reporting period presented because all the companies in the Group were under common control.
Surrender of Shares
On September 3, 2025, the Company accepted the surrender of 3,750,000 Class A Shares (“Surrendered Shares”) at no consideration pursuant to Paragraph (1) of Section 37B of Part III of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the Surrendered Shares have been cancelled upon surrendered. Following this, 15,000,000 Class A Shares and 5,000,000 Class B Shares remain issued and outstanding.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group 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. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
(a) Power over the investee;
(b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
(c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
If the Group has less than a majority of the voting of similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
(a) The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
(b) Rights arising from other contractual agreements; and
(c) The voting rights of the Group and potential voting rights.
Intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in the consolidated financial statement. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with the associate are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the interest of the Group in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no impairment.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests, if any, represent equity in subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the parent, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the effective date on which control ceases, as appropriate. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between:
(a) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and
(b) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
40
Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or, where applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations other than those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the acquisition method of accounting.
Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
(a) deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 112 Income Taxes and IFRS 119 Employee Benefits respectively;
(b) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases are recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases;
(c) liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment transactions of the acquiree or the replacements by the Group of an acquiree’s share-based payment transactions are measured in accordance with MFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
(d) assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with MFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The Group accounts for changes in fair value of contingent consideration that are not measurement period adjustments as follows:
(a) Contingent consideration classified as equity shall not be remeasured and its subsequent settlement shall be accounted for within equity.
(b) Other contingent consideration that:
(i) is within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for the relevant period.
(ii) is not within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognized in profit or loss.
In a business combination achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests shall be measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRS. The choice of measurement basis is made on a combination-by-combination basis. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity.
Any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fair value of the previously held equity interest of the Group in the acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill in the statement of financial position. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognized as a gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
41
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by applying the pooling of interest method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the entities are reflected at their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Any difference between the consideration paid and the share capital and capital reserves of the “acquired” entity is reflected within equity as merger reserve. Merger reserve is non-distributable. The statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the results of the entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination takes place. Comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined since the date the entities had come under common control.
Entities under common control are entities, which are ultimately controlled by the same parties and that control is not transitory. Control exists when the same parties have, as a result of contractual agreements, ultimate collective power to govern the financial and operating policies of each of the entities so as to obtain benefits from their activities, and that ultimate collective power is not transitory. The financial statements of commonly controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the day that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgements and Estimates
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below, and are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the financial year that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
Allowance for expected credit losses of receivables
The Group uses the simplified approach to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. The Group develops the expected loss rates based on the payment profiles of past sales and the corresponding historical credit losses, and adjusts for qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of trade receivables.
Allowance for inventories obsolescence
Management determines whether an allowance is required for inventories obsolescence or slow-moving stock or for any shortfall in net realizable value of inventories by reviewing the inventory listing on a periodic basis (at least on an annual basis).
The determination of net realizable value is subject to significant estimation uncertainty, in particular because the salability and margins of products are affected by factors such as changing consumer demand, technology trends, supply-related scarcity, and economic uncertainties. There is significant management judgement involved in setting expectations about future sales of slow-moving inventories items.
The review involves, but not limited to, an analysis of the inventories ageing, a comparison of the carrying value of the inventory items with the respective net realizable value as well as the forecasted demand for the inventories. Arising from the review, management sets up the necessary allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories or for any short fall in the net realizable value of the inventories.
Taking into account factors impacting the inventory provisioning including trading assumptions being 5% higher or lower than expected, this would result a potential outcome in an increase or decrease of the allowance for inventory obsolescence amounting to approximately USD676,000 (June 30, 2023: USD499,000) in profit or loss.

Revenue for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 was USD20.7 million representing an increase of 130.8% from USD9.0 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly due to increase in sales of amphibious machineries. Revenue generated from sales of amphibious machineries increased by USD11.6 million or 173.0% from USD6.7 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD18.3 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2024, which is mainly due to investment in infrastructure development by government of Indonesia. The number of amphibious excavators sold had increased from 38 units in the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to 80 units in the financial year ended June 30, 2024. This represents a growth of 42 units or 110.5% as compares to previous financial year. The increase was mainly due to higher demand from government of Indonesia, which accounted for an additional 37 units of amphibious excavators delivered during the financial year, reflecting ongoing investment in infrastructure development projects across the country.
Furthermore, there were slight increase in service income and rental income generated from the rental of machinery. Increase in service income by USD0.3 million or 151.8% from USD0.2 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD0.5 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 was in line with the increase in sales of amphibious machineries. Increase in rental of machinery was mainly due to short term solutions provided to the customers.
However, increase in revenue has been mitigated by the decrease in sales of aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers, which mainly due to lower in demand as compared to amphibious machineries. Also, decrease in sales of parts by USD0.2 million or 9.1% from USD1.7 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD1.5 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to lower in replacement parts required by the customers.

Cost of goods sold has increased by USD4.1 million or 63.3% from USD6.5 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD10.7 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in mainly due to:
(a) increase in purchase of inventories, which was in line with increase in revenue due to higher demand in the current financial year. To meet increased demand, the Group scaled up production, thereby benefiting from better economic of scale;
(b) changes in inventories were mainly due to higher level of closing inventories as of financial year ended June 30, 2024 to cater for the increase in demand and ensuring sufficient stock levels to meet future production and delivery requirements;
(c) increase in staff costs by USD0.2 million or 24.3% from USD0.8 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD1.0 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 due to better performance of the Group and increase in revenue. Additionally, overall increase in staff costs were also due to increase in number of headcounts to cater for increase in production;
(d) increase in depreciation charged on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets were mainly due to higher investments to both property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets; and
(e) increase in warranty claim and utilities are mainly due to higher production in the current financial year.
45
Increase in cost of goods sold is mitigated by the decrease in:
(f) decrease in inventories written down by USD0.3 million or 77.1% as the Group has taken the initiative to write down the inventories in the previous financial year;
Overall, the Group achieve higher gross profit margin primarily driven by an increase in production level, which enabled the Group to benefit from economies of scale. In addition, the Group incurred lower factory overheads and labor costs as the manufacturing facilities are located in developing countries, namely Malaysia and Indonesia, where cost structures are comparatively more favorable. These factors collectively contributed to improved operational efficiency and enhanced gross profitability.

Sales of scrap iron increased by 20.9% from USD91,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD110,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 due to increase in production of amphibious machineries. Increase in realized gain of foreign exchange, net by USD0.1 million or 94.2% from USD52,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD101,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to appreciation of United States Dollar (“USD”) against Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) and Indonesian Rupiah (“IDR”) as most of the sales were denominated in USD. Also, increase in interest income by 48.0% was mainly due to higher bank balances throughout the financial year.
Slight decrease in other income was mainly due to decrease in gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment by USD0.1 million or 88.8%. Gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment has decreased from USD169,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD19,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2024.

Increase in finance cost was mainly due to increase in interest expense incurred for bankers’ acceptance and lease liabilities. Bankers’ acceptance interest increased by 73.3% from USD15,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 to USD26,000 for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to increase in international dealings which is in line with the increase in revenue. Interest expense for lease liabilities represented the present value of future lease payments. Increase in interest expense for lease liabilities was due to increase in right of use assets in the current financial year.
Income tax expense
Our estimated income tax expense increased by USD1.4 million, or 841.7% from USD0.2 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023, to USD1.5 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2024 was generally in line with the increase in our profit for the financial year.
47
Net income
As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased by USD5.0 million, or 598.6%, from loss making of USD0.8 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023, to profit for the financial year of USD4.2 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources;
The Group accounts have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements. The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon aligning its sources of funding (debt and equity) with the expenditure requirements of the Group and repayment of the short-term debt facilities, if any, as and when they fall due.
The Group has considered whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Cash flow from operations and capital contributions and loans from shareholders have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Group. The Group estimates that it will require approximately USD4.5 million over the next 12 months to carry out its business plans and fund its working capital requirements. To support this estimated capital requirement, the Group has identified the following sources of liquidity: (i) the Group’s working capital was USD8.1 million as of June 30, 2024, and the Group had a positive balance of USD2.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, (ii) unrestricted cash and bank balances of the Group amounted to USD1.8 million as to withdrawal and use as of June 30, 2024, and (iii) the Group has undrawn committed banking facilities of approximately USD3.69 million as of June 30, 2024.
Additionally, the Group plans to raise gross proceeds of USD5.0 million through an initial public offering by issuing 1,250,000 shares to the public. In view of this, the Group intend to use 20% of the net proceeds for each of the following:
a. Expansion of manufacturing capacity and capabilities;
b. Enhancement of sales and expansion into overseas market;
c. investment in research and development;
d. strategic collaborations with industry partners; and
e. general working capital purposes.
Please refer to the section “Use of Proceeds” for detailed explanation.
In view of the foregoing, the management believes that the Group has sufficient liquidity and financial resources to carry out its business plan, fund its working capital requirements and continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities
For the year ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities of USD0.4 million primarily resulted from our net loss of USD0.7 million, as adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating activities. Adjustments for non-cash items consisted of depreciation charged on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets and inventories written down.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly included:
(i) increase in inventories of USD1.9 million in anticipation of rising demand, as the global economy continues to recover from post COVID-19 period;
(ii) decrease in accounts receivable of USD1.0 million was attributed to improved efficiency in the collection of receivables. Receivables turnover period has improved from 80 days to 57 days; and
(iii) increase in accounts payable of USD0.8 million was due to maximization of the credit term granted by the suppliers.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, net cash from operating activities of USD2.7 million primarily resulted from our net income of USD5.7 million, as adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating activities. Adjustments for non-cash items consisted of depreciation charged on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets and inventories written down.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly included:
(i) increase in inventories of USD1.7 million primarily due to the buildup of stock to ensure product availability and service continuity amidst expanding sales volumes. Given the increase in inventories, the inventories turnover period has improved from 278 days to 231 days in conjunction with increase in demand;
(ii) increase in accounts receivable of USD1.0 million was attributed to higher revenue as compared to the previous financial year. Receivables turnover period has improved from 57 days to 40 days; and
(iii) increase in accounts payable of USD0.3 million was due to maximization of the credit term granted by the suppliers.
Investing Activities
For the year ended June 30, 2023, net cash from investing activities of USD0.2 million primarily resulted from proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment of USD0.6 million and interest received of USD25,000. The increase was mitigated by purchase of property, plant and equipment of USD0.4 million.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities of USD0.7 million primarily resulted from purchase of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use-assets totaling to USD0.7 million. Furthermore, net cash used in investing activities was due to placements of fixed deposit pledged with financial institution of USD0.1 million. The decrease was mitigated by proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment and interested received of USD0.1 million and USD37,000 respectively.
Financing Activities
For the year ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was USD0.9 million, which was primarily driven by:
(i) dividends paid to shareholders of USD0.1 million; and
(ii) Net repayments of bank borrowings and lease liabilities of USD0.7 million and USD0.3 million respectively.
Net cash used in financial activities was mitigated by advanced from related parties of USD0.3 million.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was USD1.3 million, which was primarily driven by:
(i) dividends paid to shareholders of USD0.5 million;
(ii) repayments to related parties of USD0.2 million; and
(iii) Net repayments of bank borrowings and lease liabilities of USD0.1 million and USD0.3 million respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, and amounts due from related parties.
As at June 30, 2023 and 2024, approximately 57% and 42% of the Group’s trade receivable arose from four and two groups of customers respectively. Customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics. In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits and credit approvals.
Market risk
The Group activities are exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the operating entities. Exposure in foreign currency is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group endeavors to keep the net exposure at an acceptable level.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the financial instruments of the Group would fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The exposure of the Group to interest rates risk arises primarily from their floating interest rate borrowings. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge this risk.
There has been no significant change to the Group’s exposure to market risk or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

For the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Group recorded revenue of USD9.5 million, representing a 27.2% decrease compared to USD13.0 million for the corresponding period in 2023. The decline was primarily attributable to a reduction in sales of amphibious machinery. Revenue from amphibious machinery sales decreased by USD6.1 million, or 52.2%, from USD11.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 to USD5.6 million in the same period of 2024. This reduction was mainly due to lower sales in Indonesia, which were impacted by a decline in government physical infrastructure spending in 2025 relative to 2024. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by increased sales to customers in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. The number of amphibious excavators sold declined from 45 units in the six months ended December 31, 2023 to 38 units in the same period of 2024.
During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Group successfully entered the Indonesian market for aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers, generating USD1.9 million in revenue from these products. Additionally, revenue from parts sales increased by USD0.5 million, or 74.0%, from USD0.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 to USD1.2 million in the same period of 2024. The growth in parts sales was primarily driven by increased demand for replacement components from existing customers.

The reduction in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to the following factors:
(a) A decrease in inventory purchases, which aligned with the lower revenue and reduced material requirements during the six months ended December 31, 2024.
(b) Changes in inventory levels, driven by a higher closing inventory balance as of December 31, 2024. This increase was intended to accommodate anticipated demand in the near future and ensure sufficient stock availability to meet production and delivery needs.
(c) Inventories written back decreased by USD0.3 million, or 73.9% from USD0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to USD0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to inventories newly produced and old inventories which have sold during the year, hence there is a reversal of provision of allowance for stock obsolescence.
Gross profit
The Group achieve higher gross profit margin for the six months ended December 31, 2024 at 55.7% as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2023 at 52.0% primarily due to sales to customer with higher margin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources;
The Group accounts have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements. The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon aligning its sources of funding (debt and equity) with the expenditure requirements of the Group and repayment of the short-term debt facilities, if any, as and when they fall due.
The Group has considered whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Cash flow from operations and capital contributions and loans from shareholders have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Group. The Group’s working capital was USD9.0 million as of December 31, 2024. And the Group had a positive balance of USD2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. Unrestricted cash and bank balances of the Group amounted to USD1.2 million as to withdrawal and use as of December 31,2024. In view of these circumstances, the management has given consideration to the future liquidity and performance of the Group and its available sources of finance in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the Group has undrawn committed banking facilities of approximately USD3.8 million as of December 31, 2024 to finance the working capital requirements of the Group.

Market Definition
Amphibious Equipment generally includes Amphibious Excavator, Dredging Machines and Aquatic Weed Harvester for aquatic or marine construction, wetland, urban eco-environmental maintenance and restoration works across the wet terrain and riverbed.
Amphibious Excavator: It is a specialized type of excavator designed for dredging, excavation, and earthmoving tasks in aquatic or marshy environments. The amphibious excavator can perform dredging while floating on soft terrains such as swamps, wetlands, and shallow waters. It is more suited for tasks involving the removal of silty clay, clearing silted trenches, and operating in swampland and shallow water compared to traditional barge-mounted dredgers, which are typically used for drainage clearance and riverbed cleaning.
Dredging Machines: These are specialized equipment mounted on ships or vessels used for dredging operations in bodies of water such as harbors and coastal areas.
Aquatic Weed Harvester: Machinery specifically designed for the mechanical removal of aquatic plants, weeds, and algae, among others from rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc.
Market Lineage Outlook of Amphibious Equipment Market in U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific
The amphibious equipment market in U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific was valued at USD 11,258.1 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 20,825.5 million by 2030. The growing need for water resource management and environmental conservation to keep pace with continued urbanization and the subsequent increase in construction activities worldwide are expected to drive the demand for these equipment over the forecast period.
As the demand for amphibious equipment continues to grow, the amphibious equipment market is evolving into a highly dynamic and competitive market, compelling market players, both established and small-scale ones, to focus on developing advanced products with improved functionalities and versatile compatibility, thereby opening promising opportunities for the growth of the market. However, as competition builds, apart from integrating enhanced functionalities, market players may have to price their products aggressively if they were to retain their existing customers and attract new ones.
A notable trend in either the general excavator or amphibious equipment machines market is the increasing adoption of advanced technologies, such as telematics, IoT, and automation, to enhance operational efficiency and ensure optimum productivity. As such, excavators are being integrated with GPS systems, hydraulic attachments, and real-time monitoring capabilities, to enable precise digging, improve fuel efficiency, and facilitate remote operations. The strong emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint of activities, such as excavation and dredging, and the subsequent shift toward pursuing sustainable practices have led to the development of electric and hybrid excavators and dredging machines.

The expansion of infrastructure projects in coastal and wetland areas has increased the demand for specialized equipment capable of operating in challenging environments. In Asia Pacific, the demand for amphibious excavators is driven by rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and environmental conservation efforts.
59
Dredging Equipment
The U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific dredging equipment market was valued at USD 4,333.9 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2030 to reach an estimated value of USD 6,636.6 million by 2030. The exploration and extraction of offshore energy resources, such as oil & gas, require dredging operations for seabed preparation, pipeline installation, and offshore platform maintenance. Offshore oil & gas platforms require thorough preparatory work before installation.
For instance, dredging is necessary to create channels for vessels to access the site and maintain the infrastructure once operational. Moreover, the continuous extraction of offshore energy resources leads to sedimentation and sediment accumulation around drilling platforms and pipelines.
This necessitates maintaining optimal water depths in ongoing dredging operations for navigation and preventing infrastructure damage. As the demand for offshore oil & gas exploration and extraction increases, the need for efficient and advanced dredging equipment also rises. Ship-mounted dredging equipment has become increasingly popular owing to its mobility and versatility in reaching remote offshore sites.
Aquatic Weed Harvester
The U.S., Europe, Asia Pacific aquatic weed harvester market was valued at USD 700.3 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024 to 2030 to reach an estimated value of USD 1,206.2 million by 2030. The growing demand for aquatic weed harvesters can be attributed to the rising need to maintain waterway accessibility for various purposes, such as transportation, irrigation, and flood control. By filtering weeds and debris from water channels, these machines ensure safe and efficient navigation, which is vital for economic activities and infrastructure development.
The increasing need to preserve natural ecosystems and prevent ecological imbalances drives the deployment of aquatic weed harvesters. Invasive aquatic plants such as hydrilla, water hyacinth, and Eurasian watermilfoil pose significant threats to native flora and fauna, disrupt water flow, and hinder recreational activities such as boating and fishing. As a result, government agencies, environmental organizations, and lake management authorities invest in weed harvesting technologies to control and mitigate the spread of these invasive species, thereby safeguarding biodiversity and ensuring the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.

We intend to strengthen our market position in the manufacturing and sales of amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers in overseas markets such as US, Europe and Asia Pacific, by implementing the following business strategies and plans.
Increase our manufacturing capacity and capabilities
To keep pace with growing customer demand and expectations for high-quality machinery, we are committed to expanding our manufacturing capacity and capabilities. Our plans include a significant expansion of our facility in Indonesia, as well as upgrades to our Malaysian facility to bring it to state-of-the-art standards, ensuring it meets rigorous quality requirements. These improvements will allow us to optimize our production processes, enhance operational efficiency, and better position ourselves to deliver exceptional products that align with our customers’ evolving needs.
Increase our sales and marketing capabilities
To increase our sales and expand our presence in overseas markets such as US, Europe and Asia Pacific, we plan to hire dedicated sales and marketing representatives in these regions. We also intend to continue to invest in setting up regional sales offices, as well as attending key exhibitions and trade fairs where we would have the opportunity to showcase and promote our products to a wider audience.
Product diversification and innovation
We plan to expand our product portfolio and enhance existing offerings by introducing new, technologically advanced models that address evolving customer needs and industry trends, such as increased efficiency of the machines and higher safety requirements. For example, we are developing an innovative anti-tilting safety sensor to enhance operational safety by preventing machinery from tilting in challenging environments, a critical feature for projects in sensitive or uneven terrains. In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we are also developing a hybrid-operated aquatic weed harvester. This innovation reduces emissions while maintaining operational efficiency. Our innovation efforts will also focus on developing modular designs that allow for greater customization, thereby broadening our market appeal.
We plan to expand our offerings by providing comprehensive weed harvesting and dredging services. Through service agreements, we will assist customers throughout the entire process, from project planning to execution, delivering tailored, end-to-end solutions for their weed harvesting and dredging needs.
Expand business and operations through acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances
We plan to explore opportunities to collaborate with suitable partners in the industry through strategic alliances, joint ventures, acquisitions and investments. For example, if a suitable opportunity arises, we may collaborate with the distributors of our suppliers as well as other manufacturers to expand our reach and if we deem such collaborations to be likely to provide us with more business opportunities. In particular, we are considering establishing a relationship with a dealer in the US. This partnership could involve setting up a light assembly operation in U.S. factory, potentially through a joint venture arrangement. The focus of this collaboration would be to jointly manufacture amphibious machinery for sale in the US market. We believe this strategy could lead to significant cost savings through localized production and potentially open up new market opportunities in the US. However, these plans are still in the exploratory stage and subject to further evaluation and negotiation.

Cyber Security
Our business model does not heavily rely on third-party software or services, particularly those that are directly integrated into its products or operations. This reduces our dependency on external technology and lessens the potential impact of cybersecurity breaches or disruptions originating from these third-party entities. While data breaches and operational disruptions can still occur, the physical presence of our business allows for alternative methods of product distribution and customer service, reducing the overall impact of cybersecurity related incidents on our operations. Despite a lower risk of cybersecurity related incidents materially affecting our operations, after the offering, we plan to prioritize the implementation of cybersecurity measures to maintain a secure and reliable business environment. For example, we plan to (i) incorporate cybersecurity clauses into our business contracts; (ii) include specific security requirements and data protection protocols in our vendor contracts to ensure consistent cybersecurity standards across our supply chain; (iii) educate our employees on cybersecurity threats by providing training for employees to recognize and report phishing attempts, social engineering tactics, and other cyber threats; and (v) implement cybersecurity awareness tools and simulations to test employees’ knowledge and response to potential threats. By implementing these measures, we hope that our ability to respond to and recover from any eventual cybersecurity incidents will be enhanced.
COMPETITION
The market for the manufacturing and sale of amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers has relatively high barriers to entry in the form of high set-up and operating costs, strong technological knowledge, well-established and long-term business relationships with suppliers, distributors and long track record. Nevertheless, we face strong competition from existing players in the industry. We are able to set ourselves apart from our competitors
78
by offering a wide range of products to cater to the different requirements of our customers. For example, as compared to some of our competitors who are able to manufacture amphibious excavators of a single, smaller size, we are able to manufacture amphibious excavators of various sizes, from a base as small as 5 tons to as large as 50 tons.
SALES AND MARKETING
Our sales and marketing team comprises 5 full-time employees based in Malaysia and Japan. Our Executive Director and Chairman, Mr. Halim, alongside our Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wong, oversee our sales and marketing department. Our sales and marketing team is responsible for establishing and maintaining our customer relationships and securing orders from customers. Our team also communicates with our existing customers to understand their needs and market trends, so as to improve our product range. Through these regular contacts, our customers provide us with valuable feedback on industry trends and developments as well as their requirements. We place strong emphasis on understanding the requirements of our customers and consistently providing them with reliable machines that meet their requirements. We consider customer feedback a valuable tool for improving our products and services. Our sales and marketing team is also responsible for handling customers’ complaints and any complaints arising from product defects or service quality and will relay such feedback internally to the relevant teams for follow-up. Our management meets with our sales and marketing team regularly to review our sales performance and marketing strategies and targets. These regular meetings also allow our sales and marketing team to highlight issues or problems that they encounter and discuss strategies to resolve these issues or problems in a timely manner.
One of our key channels for marketing is through word of mouth as our new customers are usually referred by our existing customers or business contacts. Mr. Halim and Mr. Wong has long-standing relationships with some of our major customers.
In addition, we regularly participate in key exhibitions and trade fairs to expand our customer base and increase our sales. We also employ digital marketing tools by optimizing our website content, metadata and incorporating relevant keywords to improve visibility in Search Engine Results Pages, thereby increasing the likelihood of attracting qualified leads interested in our products and services.

79
INVENTORY
Our longstanding and close relationships with our customers enable us to anticipate the demand from our customers, and we maintain a ready inventory of certain of the more popular models of our amphibious machinery, including mainly the smaller scale amphibious excavators, to meet such anticipated demand of our customers in a shorter time frame. In addition, we also maintain a ready inventory of spare parts that may be commonly required during servicing and repairs so as to reduce the downtime for our customers.
As of June 30, 2023 and 2024, we had inventory of $5.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Ultratrex Malaysia holds a registered trademark for “Ultratrex” in Class 7, which is valid up to 20 June 2031. Save as aforesaid, our Group has not registered any intellectual property rights. We were not involved in any proceedings with regard to, and we have not received notice of any claims of infringement of, any intellectual property rights that may be threatened or pending, in which we may be involved either as a claimant or respondent.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Ultratrex’s product development team collaborates with industry experts, engineers, and academic institutions to explore advanced materials, design improvements, and sustainable technologies. A significant focus is placed on increasing the durability, safety and versatility of our machinery while also improving fuel efficiency and reducing environmental impact. For example, we are developing an innovative anti-tilting safety sensor to enhance operational safety by preventing machinery from tilting in challenging environments, a critical feature for projects in sensitive or uneven terrains. In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we are also developing a hybrid-operated aquatic weed harvester. This innovation reduces emissions while maintaining operational efficiency. Looking forward, we have plans to introduce a fully electric aquatic weed harvester, further supporting our customers’ goals for sustainable operations and reducing environmental impact.
Additionally, our product development team actively researches ways to incorporate advanced automation and smart technology into our products, enhancing their precision and ease of operation.
Through these ongoing initiatives, Ultratrex continually introduces innovative solutions that meet the evolving demands of the global market, ensuring their products remain at the forefront of the industry. This commitment to research and development not only drives the company’s growth but also solidifies its reputation as a leader in the amphibious machinery, aquatic weed harvesters and dredgers sector.

We consider our labor practices and employee relations to be good.
SEASONALITY
During the rainy seasons, we may generally experience an increase in demand for our amphibious excavators because of flooding in areas where waterflow is restricted and our amphibious excavators are required to operate in these flooded areas to remove obstacles. We are able to take advantage of such increase in demand by ensuring that we have a ready inventory of such amphibious excavators for delivery to our customers in a shorter time frame.
INSURANCE
In Malaysia, we maintain insurance coverage against (i) liability for third-party bodily injury at our office premises, (ii) employees’ compensation insurance for our employees, (iii) property risks including theft and damage to property prior to sale of our products to customers, (iv) key person insurance and (v) group medical insurance. In Indonesia, our coverage consists of motor vehicle insurance and marine cargo inter-insular insurance. We lack product liability insurance in both Malaysia and Indonesia to guard against claims by customers for defective or malfunctioning equipment after sale. The property all risks policy in Malaysia only covers risks prior to the sale of our products to customers. We do not carry general business interruption insurance. We will continue to review and assess our risk portfolio and make necessary and appropriate adjustments to our insurance practices to align with our needs and with industry practice in Malaysia and Indonesia and in the markets in which we operate.
In Indonesia, we enroll our employees in government-run insurance programs as required under Law No. 24 of 2011 on the Social Security Organizing Agency, as amended by Law No. 6 of 2023 on the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 2 of 2022 on Job Creation. These programs include Health Social Security and Manpower Social Security. Manpower Social Security specifically provides coverage for Occupational Accident Security, Death Security, Old Age Security, Pension Security, and Job Loss Security. Please review our addition to this section.
LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We and our subsidiaries have been and may from time to time be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not party to any significant proceedings in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. We are not aware of any legal proceedings of which we are a party outside of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan.

Laws and Regulations Relating to Our Business in Indonesia
Trade Regulation
Indonesia’s primary law for trade activities is Law No. 7 of 2014 on Trade, as amended by Law No. 6 of 2023 on the Determination of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 2 of 2022 into Law. The Ministry of Trade is the main government body responsible for regulating trade activities in Indonesia. Please note that the information in this section only generally addresses the laws and regulations constituting the material licenses which may have a direct impact on the business operations in Indonesia. It should not be construed as a detailed analysis of all laws and regulations applicable to the business operations in Indonesia.
Business Licenses
Pursuant to Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021 on the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing (GR 5/2021), business activities are classified into:
a. Low-risk business activities;
b. Medium risk business activities, which consists of (i) Medium-Low risk business activities and (ii) Medium-High business activities; and
c. High-risk business activities.
The classification of risk above will determine the required licenses for the business activity of Ultratrex Indonesia and Ultratrex Machinery Indonesia.
The application of the licenses would be subject to the Risk-Based Approach (RBA) licensing regime. As Ultratrex Indonesia’s Business Identification Number (NIB) is currently being updated, the KBLI list will refer to the latest deed. Based on Ultratrex Indonesia’s Deed No. 1 dated 2 December 2024 made before Humberg Lie, S.H., S.E., M.Kn, Notary in North Jakarta, the relevant risk and licenses for the business activity of Ultratrex Indonesia are as follows:

Laws and Regulations Relating to Our Business in Malaysia
Our operations in Malaysia are subject to a variety of rules and regulations generally applicable to businesses in Malaysia, including with respect to licensing, taxation, employment, data protection, anti-money laundering and other regulations. We set out below brief descriptions of certain regulations particularly significant for our operations.
Licensing
In general, there is a requirement to obtain business premise licenses from the relevant local councils and authorities in accordance with the Local Government Act 1976 and the relevant by-laws and regulations for operating business premises in Malaysia. Most local or district councils have Licensing of Trades, Businesses and Industries By-Laws which stipulate, among others, that no person shall carry on any trade, business or industry in
83
any place or premise within the respective district council unless he is licensed. Each set of by-laws applies within the boundaries of each local or district council. It is an offence for any person to use any premise for operating any business premise without a business premise license, which on conviction, is punishable with a fine not exceeding RM2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both and in the case of a continuing offence, to a fine not exceeding RM200 for each day during which the offence is continued after conviction. The business premise license issued is renewable on an annual basis.
We hold a valid business license issued by Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru for our premises located at PLO 229 and PLO 231, Jalan Kencana Emas 2, Kawasan Perindustrian Tebrau III, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor.
In addition to the foregoing, companies involved in manufacturing activities with shareholders’ funds of RM2.5million and above or employing 75 or more full-time paid employees, are required to obtain a manufacturing license under the Industrial Co-ordination Act, 1975 prior to commencing operations. Operating without the necessary manufacturing license can result in significant penalties, including fines and cessation of operations. For our manufacturing operations located at PLO 229, we hold a valid manufacturing license to act as a licensed manufacturer for amphibious undercarriage and related components for excavators.
The Factories and Machinery Act, 1967 requires that certain machinery and equipment used in factories be issued with certificates of fitness issued by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health. Operating without such certificates of fitness can result in significant penalties, including fines and cessation of use of such machinery or equipment. We have obtained all relevant certificates of fitness which are valid and existing for all our hoisting machines and unfired pressure vessels used in our manufacturing operations.
Manufacturing companies are also required to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 1994 to ensure the safety, health and welfare of their workers at the workplace. Among the duties of a manufacturing company is to develop and implement a safety policy and to conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential hazards, provide training and education to its workers and to report workplace accidents, dangerous occurrences, occupational poisoning or occupational diseases to the Department of Occupational Safety and Health. As required under the said Act, we being a manufacturing company with 40 or more employees, have duly established a safety and health committee. We have also appointed a safety co-ordinator to ensure compliance with the relevant occupational safety and health laws and regulations in Malaysia.
Contracts
The Contracts Act 1950 (the “CA 1950”) is the principal legislation governing contracts in Malaysia. The contracts as appearing herein and/or entered into by our subsidiary are legally binding and enforceable under the CA 1950 until the completion or termination thereof.
Employment
The Employment Act 1955 (“EA 1955”) is the principal law that regulates labor relations and employees in Malaysia, and governs the terms and conditions of employment such as working hours, holidays and rest periods, wages, overtime and other employment conditions.
In addition, an employer is under legal obligations to make statutory contributions as per the requirements under the Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 (“EPF Act”) towards an employee pension fund, the Employees Social Security Act 1969 (“ESSA 1969”) towards social security for employees, and the Employment Insurance System Act 2017 (“EIS”) for protection against occupational injuries including occupational diseases and commuting accidents.
In Malaysia, the Employment (Restriction) Act 1968 provides that a non-citizen shall not be employed in any business in Malaysia without a valid employment permit. A foreign employee is required to obtain a work permit such as employment pass or professional visit pass issued by the Department of Immigration, Malaysia in order to carry out employment in Malaysia.
Employers are also required to comply with the Employees’ Minimum Standards of Housing, Accommodations and Amenities Act, 1990 which enforces the requirements and regulations that must be followed by employers when providing housing, accommodation and facilities for employees. An employer who provides accommodation for its workers must apply for a certificate of accommodation from the Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia.
84
We are in compliance and intend to continue to be compliant with all of the aforesaid legislation regarding employment.
Section 19 of the EA 1955 provides that every employer shall pay to each of his employees no later than the seventh day after the last day of any wage period. Subject to the contract of service, the wage period will normally be one month. If there is no wage period mentioned in the contract of service, the wage period shall be deemed to be one month. Under section 12 of the EA 1955, on termination, either the employer or the employee may give notice or payment in lieu of notice to terminate the contract of service. The length of such notice shall depend on the tenure of the employment of the employee.
Regardless of whether the employee falls under the purview of the EA 1955, the employer is under legal obligations to make statutory contributions as per the requirements under the Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 (the “EPF Act”), the Employees Social Security Act 1969 (the “ESSA 1969”), and the Employment Insurance System Act 2017 (the “EIS”). The EPF Act imposes statutory obligation on employers and employees to make contribution to the employees’ provident fund, or the EPF, which is a pension fund that is mandatory (with a few exceptions) for all Malaysian employees. The EPF is a saving scheme for retirement purposes of an employee.
The ESSA 1969 provides for social security for employment injury contingencies in favor of employees and is administered by the Social Security Organization. The Social Security Organization (the “SOCSO”) was established as one of the government departments under the Ministry of Human Resources to administer, implement and enforce the ESSA 1969 and the Employees’ Social Security (General) Regulations 1971. The Employment Injury Scheme under the SOCSO provides protection to employees against occupational injuries including occupational diseases and commuting accidents. Employers are responsible for reporting all work-related accidents that befall their workers within forty-eight hours of notification. The ESS Act provides the right to claim benefits such as invalidity pension, disablement benefit, dependent’s benefit, funeral benefit and survivors’ pension. With effect from June 1, 2016, employers are required to make monthly deductions and contributions for all employees depending on their ages but regardless of their monthly wages, and generally calculated based on their monthly wages.
If the employer, (a) fails to pay any contribution or any part thereof which is payable by him under the ESSA 1969 or fails to pay within the time prescribed by regulations any interest payable under section 14A of the ESSA 1969; (b) deducts or attempts to deduct from the wages of an employee the whole or any part of the employer’s contribution; (c) in contravention of section 52 of the ESSA 1969 reduces the wages or any privileges or benefits admissible to an employee; (d) in contravention of section 53 of the ESSA 1969 or any regulation dismisses, discharges, reduces or otherwise punishes an employee; (e) fails or refuses to submit any return or accident report required by the regulations, or makes a false return or report; (f) obstructs any Inspector appointed under section 12 of the ESSA 1969 and includes the Director General and every Deputy Director General or any other official of the Social Security Organization in the discharge of his duties; or (g) is guilty of any contravention of or non-compliance with any of the requirements of the ESSA 1969 or the rules or the regulations in respect of which no special penalty is provided, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine not exceeding RM10,000 or with both.
The EIS is an act administered by the Social Security Organization to provide certain benefits and a re-employment program for insured persons in the event of loss of employment. The EIS will provide temporary financial aid for up to six months for retrenched employees until they find new employment. Under the EIS, every employee and employer is required to pay mandatory monthly contributions to the Social Security Organization in accordance with the prescribed rates.
Environment
The Environmental Quality Act 1974 (“EQA 1974”) is the principal law that governs the prevention, abatement, control of pollution and enhancement of the environment in Malaysia. The EQA 1974 prescribes the prohibition and control of various forms of pollutions as well as the applicable penalties for any violations thereof, and the licensing requirement for activities which requires the movement, storage or deposit of waste.
Our current operations do not require any license to be issued under the EQA 1974. Nevertheless, precautionary measures are taken by us to ensure compliance with the EQA 1974 such as, but not limited to, avoid conducting any open burning, identifying any risk of waste discharge in or the surrounding area of our premises, submission of an environmental impact assessment report to the relevant authorities, and ensuring that our operations are conducted in accordance with industry norms and practices.
85
Personal Data Protection
Under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 of Malaysia (“Malaysian PDPA”), organizations are required to (i) obtain consent from individuals prior to collecting, using or disclosing their personal data, unless the limited exceptions under the Malaysian PDPA arises; (ii) inform individuals in writing in two languages (i.e. English and the national language) of, amongst other things, the purposes for which their personal data will be processed and the third parties to whom their personal data will be disclosed; and (iii) ensure that the personal data collected will be processed in a safe and secure manner in accordance with the security standards prescribed under the Personal Data Protection Standard 2015.
An organization that fails to comply with the provisions under the Malaysian PDPA may, if found guilty, be liable to a financial penalty up to a maximum of RM500,000 and any person who, at the time of the commission of the offence, was a director, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, manager, secretary or any person in a managerial capacity may also be jointly or severally liable with the organization and be subject to imprisonment of up to a maximum of five years.
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing
The Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (“AMLA 2001”) prohibits money laundering and terrorism financing activities. Any person who (a) engages in a transaction that involves proceeds of unlawful activity; (b) uses proceeds of unlawful activity; (c) removes from or brings into Malaysia proceeds of unlawful activity; or (d) conceals, disguises, or impedes the establishment of the true nature, origin, location, movement, disposition, title of, rights with respect to, or ownership of, proceeds of unlawful activity, commits a money laundering offence under the AMLA 2001.
In addition, a reporting institution under the First Schedule of the AMLA 2001 is obliged to observe the anti-money laundering and counter financing terrorism requirements and standards, which include reporting and record-keeping duties, such as submitting suspicious transaction reports, implementing risk-based application, and conducting customer due diligence.
Neither we nor our subsidiary is deemed to be a reporting institution. Nevertheless, we are required to comply with the provisions under the AMLA 2001.
Laws and Regulations Relating to Our Business in Japan
Regulations on Imports and Exports
The trade activities of Ultratrex Japan with foreign counterparties are subject to the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (Act No.228 of 1949, the “Foreign Exchange Act”). Article 25, Paragraph 1 of the Foreign Exchange Act provides that when a resident or a non-resident intends to carry out transactions designed to provide technology pertaining to the design, manufacture or use of specific kinds of goods, which is specified by Cabinet Order as being considered to undermine the maintenance of international peace and security (the “Specified Technology”) in the specified foreign state (the “Specified State”), or when a resident intends to carry out transactions designed to provide a non-resident from the Specified State with the Specified Technology, he/she shall obtain, pursuant to the provisions of Cabinet Order, permission from the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry with regard to the transactions.
The definition of the Specified Technology is provided in Article 17, Paragraph 1 and the appended table of the Foreign Exchange Order (Cabinet Order No. 260 of 1980, the “Foreign Exchange Order”), and it includes the technology relating to weapons or nuclear materials, but if such technology is available to a large number of unspecified persons, such technology is not deemed to be the Specified Technology. As the parts of the amphibious excavators which Ultratrex Japan exports to PT Ultratrex Indonesia or Ultratrex Machinery Sdn. Bhd. and the design drawings of the underground parts of the amphibious excavators which Ultratrex Japan provides to PT Katsushiro Indonesia under the license agreement do not fall into any of the definition of the Specified Technology, Ultratrex Japan is not obliged to obtain permission from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry with regard to the license agreement with PT Katsushiro Indonesia.
86
Article 55, Paragraph 1 of the Foreign Exchange Act provides that when a resident or a non-resident has received a payment made from Japan to a foreign state or a payment made from a foreign state to Japan, or when a resident has made a payment, etc. to a non-resident in Japan or in a foreign state, the resident or non-resident, or the resident shall report to the competent minister, pursuant to the provisions of Cabinet Order, the content of the payment, etc., time of making the payment, etc. and other matters specified by Cabinet Order, except cases specified by Cabinet Order.
In relation to the regulations above, the payment of the amount less than 30,000,000 JPY is not subject to the obligation to report to the competent minister under Article 18-4, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Foreign Exchange Order and Article 1, Paragraph 1 of the Order relating to Report of Foreign Exchange Transactions (Ministry of Finance Order No. 29 of 1998). Based on the Reviewed Documents, Ultratrex Japan did not make or receive any payment of 30,000,000 JPY or more, and thus Ultratrex Japan is not obligated to report the payment to the competent minister under the Foreign Exchange Act.
Regulations on Intellectual Property Rights
While Ultratrex Japan has not applied for and have not registered any designs, patents and trademarks with the Japan Patent Office, Ultratrex Japan grants a non-exclusive license to use the design drawings of the underground parts of the amphibious excavators to PT Katsushiro Indonesia for the purpose of manufacturing and distributing of the amphibious excavators. The design drawings are protected by the copyright under the Copyright Act of Japan (Act No.39 of 1899, the “Copyright Act”) although the unauthorized manufacturing amphibious excavators using such design drawings does not constitute an infringement of the copyright.
Under the Japanese copyrights Act, the copyright is protected without the need for formal declaration or registration and continues to be protected for 50 years after the author’s death or after publication for corporate author.
Regulations on Labor
The Labor Standard Act of Japan (Act No.49 of 1947 as amended, the “Labor Standard Act”) is administered by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan and sets out the basic terms and conditions of employment and the rights and responsibilities of employers as well as employees.
Ultratrex Japan has not prepared the rules of employment (employee handbook), but under the Labor Standard Act, the obligation to draw up rules of employment and file them with the relevant agency is imposed only on the employer that continuously employs 10 or more workers. Ultratrex Japan does not employ any worker and only engages one consultant for consulting works, and thus Ultratrex Japan is not obliged to prepare the rules of employment.
As Ultratrex Japan does not employ any worker, Ultratrex Japan is not subject to any other regulations relating to the Labor Standard Act.

Our nomination committee’s and Board’ priority in selecting board members is identification of persons who will further the interests of our shareholders through their established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members, knowledge of our business, understanding of the competitive landscape and professional and personal experience and expertise relevant to our growth strategy.
Foreign Private Issuer Status
The Nasdaq listing rules include certain accommodations in the corporate governance requirements that allow foreign private issuers, such as us, to follow “home country” corporate governance practices in lieu of the otherwise applicable corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The application of such exceptions requires that we disclose
92
each Nasdaq corporate governance standard that we do not follow and describe the Cayman Islands corporate governance practices we do follow in lieu of the relevant Nasdaq corporate governance standard. We currently follow Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq in respect of the following:
• the Shareholder Approval Requirements under Section 5635 of the Nasdaq listing rules; and
• the requirement under Section 5605(b)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules that the independent Directors have regularly scheduled meetings with only the independent Directors present.
Controlled Company
We expect to continue to be a controlled company within the meaning of Nasdaq Capital Market rules, and as a result, we expect to qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.
Public Companies that qualify as a “Controlled Company” with securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, must comply with the exchange’s continued listing standards to maintain their listings. NASDAQ has adopted qualitative listing standards. Companies that do not comply with these corporate governance requirements may lose their listing status. Under NASDAQ rules, a “controlled company” is a company with more than 50% of its voting power held by a single person, entity or group. Under NASDAQ rules, a controlled company is exempt from certain corporate governance requirements, including:
• an exemption from the rule that a majority of our Board must be independent directors;
• an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and
• An exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors.
Controlled companies must still comply with the exchange’s other corporate governance standards. These include having an audit committee and the special meetings of independent or non-management directors.
Upon the completion of this offering, our Controlling Shareholder, Mr. Halim will beneficially own 37.5% of our total issued and outstanding Class A and 100% of our total issued and outstanding Class B Shares, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, representing 89.4% of the total voting power. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq rules because our Controlling Shareholder will hold more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors. As a “controlled company,” we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We currently intend to rely on the exemption from the requirement that a majority of our board of directors be independent directors and accordingly, our board of directors will not consist of a majority of independent directors. We do not currently intend to rely on other exemptions available to controlled companies. However, for so long as we remain a controlled company as defined under that rule, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may in the future rely, on certain other exemptions from corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including (1) the requirement that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by either a Nomination Committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors and (2) the requirement that we have a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws. Because we currently rely, and may in the future rely, on one or more of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Code of Conduct, Code of Ethics, Insider Trading Policy and Executive Compensation Recovery Policy
Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we intend to adopt (i) a written code of business conduct and ethics and (ii) Insider Trading Policy that applies to our Directors, officers, and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, and we also intend to adopt an (iii) Executive Compensation Recovery Policy that applies to our officers, and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, (collectively the “Policies”). Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, a current copy of the Policies will be posted on the Corporate Governance section of our website, which is located at [https://www.ultratrex.com/]. The
93
information on our website is deemed not to be incorporated in this prospectus or to be a part of this prospectus. We intend to disclose any amendments to the Policies, and any waivers of the Policies for our Directors, executive officers and senior finance executives, on our website to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of NASDAQ.

Each independent director nominee’s agreement is for an initial term of one (1) year and will continue until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. Each director will be up for re-election each year at the annual board meeting and, upon re-election, the terms, and provisions of his or her director’s offer letter will remain in full force and effect. Under the directors’ offer letters, the Company agrees, to the maximum extent provided under applicable law, to indemnify the directors against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding arising out of, or related to, the directors’ performance of their duties, other than any such losses incurred as a result of the directors’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our share capital by:
• each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our shares;
• each of our named Executive Officers;
• each of our Directors and Director nominees; and
• all of our current Executive Officers, Directors and Director nominees as a group.
The number and percentage of Class A Shares beneficially owned before the offering are based on 15,000,000 Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one (1) person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our shares listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed on the table is 220 Orchard Road, Unit 05-02, Midpoint Orchard, Singapore 238852.

We are a Cayman Islands company and our affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended from time to time, the Companies Act and the common law of Cayman Islands.
As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 450,000,000 Class A Shares, par value US$0.0001 per share and 50,000,000 Class B Shares, par value US$0.0001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, 15,000,000 Class A Shares and 5,000,000 Class B Shares are issued and outstanding.
Immediately upon the completion of this offering, we will have 16,250,000 Class A Shares issued and outstanding, assuming the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised. All of our shares issued and outstanding prior to the completion of the offering are and will be fully paid, and all of our shares to be issued in the offering will be issued as fully paid.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association
We have adopted our Memorandum and Articles of Association on August 15, 2024 (each the “Memorandum of Association” and the “Articles of Association”).The following are summaries of certain material provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association and of the Companies Act, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Class A Shares.
Objects of Our Company. Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the objects of our company are unrestricted, and we have full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by any law of the Cayman Islands, as provided by section 7(4) of the Companies Act.
Corporate Capacity. Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association, we have an unrestricted corporate capacity and we are capable of exercising all the functions of a natural person of full capacity irrespective of any question of corporate benefit, as provided by section 27(2) of the Companies Act.
Class A Shares. Our Class A Shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members. We may not issue shares to bearer. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their shares.
Dividends. The holders of our Class A Shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our Board. Our Class B Shares are not entitled to any dividends. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that dividends may be declared and paid out of the funds of our company lawfully available therefor. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account; provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid out of our share premium if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Voting Rights. A resolutions put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll. On a poll, each Class A Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of our company, and each Class B Share shall be entitled to twenty (20) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of our company. A fraction of a Class A Share shall entitle its holder to an equivalent fraction of one (1) vote, and a fraction of a Class B Share shall entitle its holder to an equivalent fraction of twenty (20) votes.
A poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs. He may appoint scrutineers (who need not be shareholders of our company) and fix a place and time for declaring the result of the poll. If, through the aid of technology, the meeting is held as a virtual meeting or in more than one place, the chairman may appoint scrutineers virtually and in more than one place; but if he considers that the poll cannot be effectively monitored at that meeting, the chairman shall adjourn the holding of the poll to a date, place and time when that can occur.
In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.
An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes by the shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote in person or by proxy at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes by the shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote in person or by proxy at a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name, making changes to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, a reduction of our share capital, to validate any prior or future act of the directors which would otherwise be in breach of their duties, to release liabilities
98
in any existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or other officer of the our company, transfer by way of continuation and the winding up of our company. Our shareholders may, among other things, divide or combine their shares by ordinary resolution.
General Meetings of Shareholders. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that we shall not hold a general meeting in each year as our annual general meeting, unless required by the applicable NASDAQ rules, which, if held, shall be convened by the chairman of the board, or the directors by board resolution, in accordance with the Article of Association. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings. A general meeting may also be held as a virtual meeting. At least seven clear days’ notice of a general meeting (including an annual general meeting) must be given to the shareholders. Notice of a general meeting shall specify (i) the place, the date and the hour of the meeting; (ii) whether the meeting will be held virtually, at a physical place or both; (iii) if the meeting is to be held in any part at a physical place, the address of such place; (iv) if the meeting is to be held in two or more places, or in any part virtually, the electronic communication facilities that will be used to facilitate the meeting, including the procedures to be followed by any shareholder or other participant of the meeting who wishes to utilize such electronic communication facilities for the purposes of attending and participating in such meeting; (v) subject to item (vi) and the requirements of (to the extent applicable) Nasdaq rules, the general nature of the business to be transacted; and (vi) if a resolution is proposed as a special resolution, the text of that resolution. Notice of every general meeting shall also be given to the directors and our auditors.
Subject to the Companies Act, a meeting may be convened on shorter notice with the consent of the shareholders or shareholders who, individually or collectively, hold at least ninety per cent of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote at that meeting.
The Companies Act does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that upon the requisition of any one or more of our shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the total issued and paid up share capital of our company at the date of deposit of the requisition shall at all times have the right, by written requisition to the Board or the secretary, to require an extraordinary general meeting to be called by the Board for the transaction of any business specified in such requisition; and such meeting shall be held within two (2) months after the deposit of such requisition. If within twenty one (21) days of such deposit the Board fails to proceed to convene such meeting the requisitionist(s) himself (themselves) may do so in the same manner, and all reasonable expenses incurred by the requisitionist(s) as a result of the failure of the Board shall be reimbursed to the requisitionist(s) by us. However, our Memorandum and Articles of Association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.
A quorum shall consist of the presence (whether in person or represented by proxy) of one or more shareholders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting.
If, within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the general meeting, or at any time during the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be cancelled. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days hence or to such other time or place as is determined by the directors.
The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned for more than seven clear days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with the Articles of Association.
Transfer of Class A Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Class A Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by NASDAQ or any other form approved by our Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Class A Shares may also be transferred in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ.
99
Where the Class A Shares are not listed on or subject to Nasdaq rules, our Board may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Class A Share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our Board may also decline to register any transfer of any Class A Share unless:
• the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the Class A Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;
• the instrument of transfer is in respect of only Class A Shares;
• the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;
• in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Class A Share is to be transferred does not exceed four;
• the Class A Share transferred are fully paid up and free of any lien in favor of us; and
• any applicable fee of such maximum sum as NASDAQ may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.
If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within one month after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.
The registration of transfers may, on 14 days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and the register of members closed at such times and for such periods as the directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine, provided always that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended nor the register of members closed for more than 30 days in any year.
Liquidation. If our company is wound up the shareholders may, subject to the Memorandum and Articles of Association and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, pass a special resolution allowing the liquidator to do either or both of the following: (a) to divide in specie among the holders of the Class A Shares the whole or any part of the our assets and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to determine how the division shall be carried out as among the holders of the Class A Shares; and/or (b) to vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of the holders of the Class A Shares and those liable to contribute to the winding up.
Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our Board may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 clear days in advance specifying when and where payment is to be made. Each shareholder shall pay to us the amount called on his shares as required by the notice. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.
If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than 14 clear days’ notice requiring payment of (i) the amount unpaid; (ii) any interest which may have accrued; and (iii) any expenses which have been incurred by us due to that person’s default. The notice shall also state the place where payment is to be made and contain a warning that if the notice is not complied with, the shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited. If such notice is not complied with, the directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any share being the subject of that notice be forfeited (which forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited share and not paid before such forfeiture).
A forfeited share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors determine and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit.
A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, remain liable to pay to us all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to us in respect of the shares, together with all expenses and interest from the date of forfeiture until payment, but his liability shall cease if and when we receive payment in full of the unpaid amount.
100
A declaration, whether statutory or under oath, made by a director or the secretary shall be conclusive evidence that the person making the declaration is our director or secretary and that the particular shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.
Conversion, Redemption and Purchase of Own Shares. Class A Shares shall not be convertible into Class B Shares.
Subject to the Companies Act and to any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, our company may by our directors:
(a) issue shares that are to be redeemed or liable to be redeemed, at our option or the shareholder holding those redeemable shares, on the terms and in the manner our directors determine before the issue of those shares;
(b) with the consent by special resolution of the shareholder holding shares of a particular class, vary the rights attaching to that class of shares so as to provide that those shares are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at our options on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such variation; and
(c) purchase all or any of our own shares of any class including any redeemable shares on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such purchase.
Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our company’s profits, share premium account or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital if our company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.
Variations of Rights of Shares. Whenever the capital of our company is divided into different classes the rights attached to any such class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class, only be varied (i) by the shareholders holding not less than 50% of the issued shares of that class consent in writing to the variation; or (ii) with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.
Issuance of Additional Shares. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association authorizes our Board to issue additional Class A Shares from time to time as our Board shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association also authorizes our Board to deal with the unissued shares either at a premium or at par; or with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise. The directors may refuse to accept any application for shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.
Our Board may issue Class A Shares without action by our shareholders to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of Class A Shares.
Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our Class A Shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our register of members or our corporate records. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association do not have provisions that provide our shareholders the right to inspect our register of members, and to receive our annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders.
101
However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our Memorandum and Articles of Association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.
Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:
• does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands;
• is not required to open its register of members for inspection by the shareholders of the company;
• does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
• may not issue negotiable or bearer shares, but may issue shares with no par value;
• may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);
• may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
• may register as an exempted limited duration company; and
• may register as a segregated portfolio company.
“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on that shareholder’s shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
History of Securities Issuances
Other than the issuance of securities in connection with the reorganization, we have not issued any securities in the past three years.
102
CERTAIN CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY CONSIDERATIONS
Upon the closing of this offering, we will be subject to reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to foreign private issuers.
NASDAQ listing rules include certain accommodations in the corporate governance requirements that allow foreign private issuers, such as us, to follow “home country” corporate governance practices in lieu of the otherwise applicable corporate governance standards of NASDAQ. The application of such exceptions requires that we disclose each NASDAQ corporate governance standard that we do not follow and describe the Cayman Islands corporate governance practices we do follow in lieu of the relevant NASDAQ corporate governance standard. We currently follow the Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of NASDAQ in respect of the following: (i) there will not be a necessity to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with independent Directors; and (ii) there will be no requirement for the Company to obtain shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in connection with (a) the acquisition of stock or assets of another company; (b) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (c) a change of control or (d) certain capital raising transactions in an amount greater than 20% of the outstanding Class A Shares at a price below market.
Differences in Corporate Law
The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent English statutory enactments and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Act and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States and their shareholders.
Mergers and Similar Arrangements. The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies provided that the laws of the foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation. For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The plan must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.
A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.
The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.
Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation, provided the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Act. The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.
103
Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by seventy-five per cent in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:
• the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;
• the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;
• the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and
• the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.
The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of a dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.
If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted, in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, save that objectors to a takeover offer may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for various orders that the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands has a broad discretion to make, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.
The Companies Act also contains statutory provisions which provide that a company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company (a) is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 93 of the Companies Act; and (b) intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either, pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring. The petition may be presented by a company acting by its directors, without a resolution of its members or an express power in its articles of association. On hearing such a petition, the Cayman Islands court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer or make any other order as the court thinks fit.
Shareholders’ Suits. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:
• a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires with respect to the company and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders;
• the act which, although not ultra vires, requires authorization by a qualified (or special) majority (that is, more than a simple majority) which has not been obtained; and
• those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”
104
A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.
Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each our existing or former directors (including alternate director), secretary and other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives, against (i) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our Company’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director’s (including alternate director’s), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and (ii) without limitation to (i), all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning our Company or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty.
To the extent permitted by Cayman Islands law, we may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of our officers in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by us to the extent that we are ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), the secretary or that officer for those legal costs. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Directors’ Fiduciary Duties. Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.
As a matter of Cayman Islands law, all of our directors owe three types of duties to us: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Companies Act imposes a number of statutory duties on a director. A Cayman Islands director’s fiduciary duties are not codified, however, the courts of the Cayman Islands have held that a director owes the following fiduciary duties: (a) a duty to act in what the director bona fide considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill, care and diligence that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and, also, to act with the skill, care and diligence in keeping with a standard of care commensurate with any particular skill they have which
105
enables them to meet a higher standard than a director without those skills. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our articles of association as may be amended from time to time. We have the right to seek damages if a duty owed by any of our directors is breached.
Shareholder Action by Written Consent. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law permits us to eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent and our Articles of Association provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at any general meetings may be taken upon the vote of shareholders at a general meeting duly noticed and convened in accordance with our Articles of Association and may also be taken by written consent of the shareholders without a meeting.
Shareholder Proposals. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the Board or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.
The Companies Act does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Articles of Association provide that general meetings shall be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the shareholders who (together) carry in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the issued and paid up shares of our company entitled to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our Articles of Association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.
Cumulative Voting. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a Board since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.
Removal of Directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Articles of Association, subject to certain restrictions as contained therein, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. An appointment of a director may be on terms that the director shall automatically retire from office (unless he has sooner vacated office) at the next or a subsequent annual general meeting or upon any specified event or after any specified period in a written agreement between the company and the director, if any; but no such term shall be implied in the absence of express provision. Under our Articles of Association, a director’s office shall be vacated if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or make arrangement or compounds with his creditors generally; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our Board, is absent from meetings of the board for a continuous period of six months; (v) is prohibited by law from being a director or; (vi) is removed from office pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Transactions with Interested Shareholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the
106
Board approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s Board.
Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.
Dissolution; Winding up. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the Board approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the Board may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.
Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.
Variation of Rights of Shares. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Articles of Association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, the rights attached to any such class may only be varied (i) by the shareholders holding not less than 50% of the issued shares of that class consent in writing to the variation; or (ii) with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
Amendment of Governing Documents. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law, our Memorandum and Articles of Association may only be amended with a special resolution of our shareholders.
Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders. There are no limitations imposed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our Memorandum and Articles of Association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

109
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of this offering, we will have 16,250,000 Class A Shares issued and outstanding, assuming the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised.
All of the Class A Shares sold in this offering by the Company will be freely transferable in the United States, without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, by persons other than our “affiliates.” Rule 144 of the Securities Act defines an “affiliate” of a company as a person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, our Company. All of our Class A Shares outstanding immediately prior to the completion of this offering are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 because they were issued in a transaction or series of transactions not involving a public offering. Restricted securities may be sold only if they are the subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or if they are sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act such as those provided for in Rules 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rule is summarized below. Restricted shares may also be sold outside of the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. This prospectus may not be used in connection with any resale of our Class A Shares acquired in this offering by our affiliates.
Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class A Shares. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Shares, and while we have applied to list our Class A Shares on NASDAQ, we cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in the Class A Shares.
Lock-Up Agreements
We have agreed with the underwriter, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, not to (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. We have also agreed not to accelerate the vesting of any option or warrant or the lapse of any repurchase right prior to the expiration of the lock-up period and not to purchase any shares of its capital stock during the 180-day period following the date of the prospectus, other than repurchases at cost or without cost pursuant to the terms of its share option and restricted share purchase agreements, if any.
Furthermore, each of our Directors and Executive Officers and our 5% or greater shareholders has also entered into a similar lock-up agreement with the underwriter for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to our Ordinary Shares, or securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Ordinary Shares.
We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our Class A Shares, or the availability of Class A Shares for future sale, will have on the trading price of our Class A Shares from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Class A Shares.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, persons who are not our affiliates and have beneficially owned our Class A Shares for more than six months but not more than one year may sell such Class A Shares without registration under the Securities Act subject to the availability of current public
110
information about us. Persons who are not our affiliates and have beneficially owned our Class A Shares for more than one year may freely sell our Class A Shares without registration under the Securities Act. Persons who are our affiliates (including persons beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding shares), and have beneficially owned our Class A Shares for at least six months, may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities that does not exceed the greater of the following:
• 1.0% of the then outstanding Class A Shares; or
• The average weekly trading volume of our Class A Shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale on Form 144 is filed with the SEC by such person.
Such sales are also subject to manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. In addition, in each case, these shares would remain subject to any applicable lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

The following summary of the material Cayman Islands and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Class A Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Class A Shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state and local tax laws or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands and the United States. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local or foreign law of the ownership of our Class A Shares. To the extent that this discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it is the opinion of Ogier, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law.
Cayman Islands Tax Considerations
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a double tax treaty entered into with the United Kingdom in 2010 but otherwise is not party to any double tax treaties applicable to any payments made to or by the Company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.
Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Class A Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Class A Shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Class A Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.
Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, no stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, Cayman Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands).
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Class A Shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below) that acquire our Class A Shares in this offering and hold our Class A Shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion is based upon existing United States federal income tax law which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular investors in light of their specific circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (for example, certain financial institutions (including banks), cooperatives, pension plans, insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, partnerships and their partners, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), investors who are not U.S. Holders, investors who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value), investors that will hold their Class A Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, or U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this discussion does not discuss any non-United States tax, state or local tax, or non-income tax (such as the U.S. federal gift or estate tax) considerations, or any consequences under the alternative minimum tax or Medicare tax on net investment income. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in our Class A Shares.
General
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Class A Shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) the administration
112
of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise validly elected to be treated as a United States person under the Code.
If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Class A Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner as a U.S. Holder, as described above, and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Class A Shares and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Class A Shares.
Dividends
The entire amount of any cash distribution paid with respect to our Class A Shares (including the amount of any non-U.S. taxes withheld therefrom, if any) generally will constitute dividends to the extent such distributions are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, and generally will be taxed as ordinary income in the year received by such U.S. Holder. To the extent amounts paid as distributions on the Class A Shares exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions will not be dividends, but instead will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined for federal income tax purposes, in the Class A Shares with respect to which the distribution is made, and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not intend to compute (or to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary to compute) our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder will be unable to establish that a distribution is not out of earnings and profits and should expect to treat the full amount of each distribution as a “dividend” for United States federal income tax purposes.
Any dividends that we pay will generally be treated as income from foreign sources for United States foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s particular facts and circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed (at a rate not exceeding any applicable treaty rate) on dividends received on our Class A Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for United States federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
Dividends paid in non-U.S. currency will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to a spot market exchange rate in effect on the date that the dividends are received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether such foreign currency is in fact converted into U.S. dollars on such date. Such U.S. Holder will have a tax basis for United States federal income tax purposes in the foreign currency received equal to that U.S. dollar value. If such dividends are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect thereof. If the foreign currency so received is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, such U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to such U.S. Holder and generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any foreign currency received by a U.S. Holder that are converted into U.S. dollars on a date subsequent to receipt.
Sale or Other Disposition of Class A Shares
A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale or other disposition of Class A Shares, in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined for federal income tax purposes, in such Class A Shares, each amount determined in U.S. dollars. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Class A Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations, particularly with regard to shareholders who are individuals. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Class A Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under its particular circumstances.
113
A U.S. Holder that receives another currency other than U.S. dollars on the disposition of our Class A Shares will realize an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the non-U.S. currency received at the spot rate on the date of sale (or, if the Class A Shares are traded on a recognized exchange and in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis U.S. Holders, the settlement date). An accrual basis U.S. Holder that does not elect to determine the amount realized using the spot rate on the settlement date will recognize foreign currency gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the spot market exchange rates in effect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the currency received equal to the U.S. dollar value of the currency received on the settlement date. Any gain or loss on a subsequent disposition or conversion of the currency will be United States source ordinary income or loss.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
For United States federal income tax purposes, a non-United States corporation, such as our Company, will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company,” or “PFIC” if, in the case of any particular taxable year, either (a) 75% or more of our gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (b) 50% or more of the value of our assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based upon our current and expected income and assets (including goodwill and taking into account the expected proceeds from this offering) and the expected market price of our Class A Shares following this offering, we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future.
However, while we do not expect to be or become a PFIC, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether we are or will become a PFIC for any taxable year is a fact-intensive inquiry made annually that depends, in part, upon the composition and classification of our income and assets. Fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Shares may cause us to be or become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of our assets for the purpose of the asset test, including the value of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, may be determined by reference to the market price of our Class A Shares (which may be volatile). The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. It is also possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our classification of certain income or assets for purposes of the analysis set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b), above or the valuation of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, which may result in our company being or becoming a PFIC for the current or future taxable years.
If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Class A Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of Class A Shares. Under the PFIC rules:
• such excess distribution and/or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Shares;
• such amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, each a pre-PFIC year, will be taxable as ordinary income;
• such amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect applicable to the U.S. Holder for that year; and
• an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Class A Shares and we own any equity in a non-United States entity that is also a PFIC, or a lower-tier PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of the entities in which we may own equity.
114
As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock, provided that certain requirements are met. The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines is a qualified exchange that has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Although we plan to list our Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot guarantee that our listing will be approved. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that, once listed, our Class A Shares will continue to be listed and regularly traded on such exchange. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors as to whether the Class A Shares are considered marketable for these purposes.
If an effective mark-to-market election is made with respect to our Class A Shares, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Class A Shares held at the end of the taxable year over its adjusted tax basis of such Class A Shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis of the Class A Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the fair market value of such Class A Shares held at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, in each year that we are a PFIC any gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of the Class A Shares will be treated as ordinary income and loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.
If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the mark-to-market gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not a PFIC.
Because a mark-to-market election generally cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that a PFIC may own, a U.S. Holder who makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our Class A Shares may continue to be subject to the general PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any of our non-United States subsidiaries if any of them is a PFIC.
If a U.S. Holder owns our Class A Shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, such holder would generally be required to file an annual IRS Form 8621. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the potential tax consequences to such holder if we are or become a PFIC, including the possibility of making a mark-to-market election.
THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY. IT DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN OUR CLASS A SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISER ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR CLASS A SHARES IN LIGHT OF SUCH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.
115
We entered into an underwriting agreement with Craft Capital Management LLC, the Representative or the Underwriter, in connection with the firm commitment offering.

Because the actual amount to be raised in this offering is uncertain, the actual total offering discounts and commissions are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth above.
We have agreed to reimburse the Underwriter up to a maximum of $200,000 for out-of-pocket accountable expenses including, but not limited to reasonable and documented fees and expenses of due diligence and its legal counsel incurred in connection with this offering, of which we will advance $50,000, which shall be applied against actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses, and will be required to advance an additional $50,000 upon the Representative’s receipt of the no-objection letter from FINRA, which shall be applied toward reasonable and documented out-of-pocket accountable expenses. Any such advance will be returned to us to the extent not offset by actual expenses in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A). In addition, at the closing of the offering, the Company shall pay the Underwriter one percent (1.0%) of the gross proceeds of the offering as non-accountable expenses.
116
We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding Underwriter’s fees and commissions, will be $1,542,000, all of which are payable by us.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement. The underwriting agreement is included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Right of First Refusal
If, during the 12-months following consummation of this offering, the Company or any of its subsidiaries (i) decides to finance or refinance any indebtedness using a manager or agent, the Representative (or any affiliate designated by the Representative) shall have the right to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, sole placement agent and/or sole advisor, at the Representative’s sole discretion, with respect to such financing or refinancing; or (ii) decides to raise funds by means of an equity offering or a private placement of equity or debt securities using an underwriter or placement agent, the Representative (or any affiliate designated by the Representative) shall have the right to act as an exclusive financial advisor, sole investment banker, sole book-runner and/or sole placement agent, at the Representative’s sole discretion, for such financing. The Representative shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker dealer shall have the right to participate in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to engage the Representative as its manager, agent, underwriter or placement agent, if it engages in a financing transaction directly with the lender or investor without using any intermediary.
Tail Financing
The Representative shall be entitled to a cash fee equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the future sale of any equity, debt and/or equity derivative instruments (the “Secondary Offering”) to any investor who was actually introduced by the Representative to the Company and is included on a written investor list provided by the Representative prior to the pricing of a Secondary Offering, provided that such Secondary Offering is consummated within 12 months following the closing of the initial public offering. An investor shall be deemed to have been “actually introduced” only if: (a) the Representative has directly facilitated a meeting, call, or substantive communication between the investor and the Company regarding a potential investment in the Company before the Offering is completed; and (b) the investor is included on a written list submitted by the Representative to the Company no later than 10 business days before the pricing of a Secondary Offering. The Company has the right to terminate its engagement of the Underwriter for cause in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5)(B)(i), which termination for cause eliminates the Company’s obligations with respect to the tail. The Company, in its sole discretion, has the right to reject any investor introduced to it by the Representative.
Lock-Up Agreements
Each of our officers, directors, and certain of our shareholders owning more than 5.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company (or securities convertible into our Class A Shares) has agreed with the underwriters, with certain exceptions, not to, 180 days following the date of the prospectus, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Shares (“Lock-Up Securities”), whether now owned or hereafter acquired or with respect to which such person has or thereafter acquires the power of disposition; (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (iii) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities.
The Company, on behalf of itself and any successor entity, agrees that, with certain exceptions and without the prior written consent of the Representative, it will not, for a period of 180 days following the date of the prospectus (the “Lock-Up Period”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of the Company; (ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any
117
shares of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of the Company; (iii) purchase any shares of the Company (other than repurchases at cost or without cost pursuant to the terms of the Company’s share option and restricted share purchase agreements); (iv) complete any offering of debt securities of the Company, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank or (v) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of shares of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Representative’s Warrants
We have agreed to issue to the Representative or its designees non-redeemable warrants to purchase the number of Class A Shares in the aggregate equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Class A Shares sold in the offering, including the over-allotment option. The Representative’s warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the 5-year period commencing from the consummation of sales of the offering, which period shall not extend further than five years from the effective date of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). The warrants are exercisable at a per share price equal to 125% of the public offering price per share in the offering. The warrants are also exercisable on a cashless basis. The Representative’s warrants and the underlying shares will be deemed compensation by FINRA, and therefore will be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e), the underwriters’ warrants and any shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of commencement of sales of the Class A Shares in this offering, except that the warrants may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any successor, officer, manager, member or partner of the Representative (or to officers, managers or members for any such successor, member or partner), if all warrants so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction for the remainder of the time period.
In addition, the Representative’s warrants provide for registration rights upon request, including one such demand registration right to register all or any portion of the Class A Shares underlying the Representative’s warrants, which shall terminate on the fifth anniversary from the consummation of sales of the Class A Shares in the offering. Upon receipt by the Company of a demand by the Representative to register the Class A Shares underlying the Representative’s warrant, the Company will file a new registration statement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement with the SEC covering such shares within sixty (60) days after receipt of such demand and will use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective promptly thereafter. The Class A Shares that are issuable upon the exercise of the Representative’s warrant are being registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the event the underlying shares are not subject to an effective registration statement, the Representative shall have unlimited “piggyback” registration (“Piggyback Registration”) rights with respect to the warrants and underlying Class A Shares. Such right to request Piggyback Registration shall terminate on the fifth anniversary from the consummation of sales of the Class A Shares in the offering, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. The warrant exercise price and/or underlying shares may also be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below the warrant exercise price.

In connection with the offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
• Stabilizing transactions permit the underwriters to make bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the ordinary shares, so long as stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
• Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of the ordinary shares in excess of the number of ordinary shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of ordinary shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of ordinary shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of
118
ordinary shares involved is greater than the number of ordinary shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing ordinary shares in the open market.
• Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of ordinary shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of ordinary shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of our ordinary shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase ordinary shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more ordinary shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying ordinary shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the ordinary shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
• Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the ordinary shares originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
• In passive market making, market makers in the ordinary shares who are the underwriters or prospective underwriter may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchases of our ordinary shares until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the ordinary shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of ordinary shares. As a result, the price of ordinary shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Stock Market or otherwise, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Determination of Offering Price
We determined the public offering price of the Class A Shares we are offering in consultation with the Underwriter based on discussions with potential investors in light of the history and prospects of our Company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, the public stock price for similar companies, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.
Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities.
A prospectus in electronic format may be delivered to potential investors by the Underwriter. The prospectus in electronic format will be identical to the paper version of such prospectus. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Underwriter’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the Underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
Relationships
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include the sales and trading of securities, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, financing, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, a variety of such activities and services for us and for persons or entities with relationships with us for which they received or will receive customary fees, commissions and expenses.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, directors, officers and employees may at any time purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments, and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers. Such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to our assets, securities and/or instruments (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with us. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment
119
recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments. In addition, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Ultratrex Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial positions of Ultratrex Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows in each of the years for the two-year period ended June 30, 2024 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2024, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

UMSB
The reorganization begins with UMSB, which was under common control of Mr. Salim Podiono (“Mr. Salim”), Mr. Halim Podiono (“Mr. Halim”), Mr. Nursalim Podiono (“Mr. Nursalim”), Mr. Taslim Podiono (“Mr. Taslim”) (each a “Concert Party” and collectively the “Concert Parties”) each holding 20% of the equity interest in UMSB. Mr. Wong Kok Seng (“Mr. Wong”) owned the remaining 20% of the equity interest. On December 6, 2023, Mr. Halim transferred his 20% equity interest to Mr. Salim. Notwithstanding the transfer, the Group determined that common control of UMSB remain unchanged based on the following factors: (i) after the transfer, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim collectively held 80% of the equity interest in UMSB, and these three parties along with Mr. Halim have consistently acted and continued to act in alignment with one another on key business and operational decisions of UMSB, (ii) Mr. Halim remained actively involved in the overall management of the Group and continued to influence key business and operational decisions, including those of UMSB, through his roles as director at UMSB and Ultratrex Indonesia, and his close working relationship with the remaining shareholders of UMSB. Accordingly, based on the aligned direction and control historically exercised by this group of individuals and Mr. Halim’s continued involvement key business and operational decisions, the Group determined that following the transfer of Mr. Halim’s 20% equity interest in UMSB to Mr. Salim, UMSB remained in common control with the other Group entities which Mr. Halim holds a controlling equity interest.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.)
Incorporation of PT Ultratrex Machinery Indonesia (“PT UMI”)
On October 20, 2022, PT UMI was incorporated in Indonesia by Mr. Wong and Mr. Chua Kok Guan, who held 99% and 1% of the equity interest in PT UMI, respectively. The incorporation and ownership structure were carried out pursuant to a mandate in the form of a written agreement dated October 18, 2022, between UMSB and Mr. Wong (the “Mandate”), under which Mr. Wong was expressly appointed and authorized by UMSB to incorporate PT UMI and to hold 99% of the equity interest in his personal capacity solely for and on behalf of UMSB. The Mandate further provided that Mr. Wong would transfer his entire equity interest in PT UMI to UMSB or its designee upon request, and no consideration was payable between the parties in respect of such transfer. The cost of investment of approximately RM3.0 million required to incorporate PT UMI was to be borne by UMSB.
De facto control by the Group1 over PT UMI
Although UMSB did not hold the majority of the voting rights in PT UMI during the period from its incorporation to April 1, 2024, the Group, which was assessed to be under common control of Mr. Salim, Mr. Halim, Mr. Nursalim, Mr. Taslim and Mr. Wong, determined that it had de facto control over PT UMI from the time of incorporation and consolidated it as a subsidiary of UMSB from such date. The Group was deemed to have had the power to govern PT UMI’s financial and operating policies and obtain benefits from its activities based on the following factors: (i) Mr. Wong held his 99% equity interest solely as a nominee pursuant to the Mandate and did not contribute capital or assume economic risk; (ii) UMSB funded the full cost of incorporation and bore the financial risks and rewards associated with PT UMI’s activities; (iii) pursuant to the Mandate, Mr. Wong was contractually obligated to transfer all of his shares in PT UMI to UMSB or its designee upon request, and he held such shares solely for the benefit of UMSB, which limited his discretion and reinforced UMSB’s practical ability to direct the relevant activities of PT UMI and to affect returns from such activities; and (iv) there is no history or arrangement under which Mr. Wong collaborated with any non-controlling interests or exercised voting rights independently of UMSB. Furthermore, PT UMI had minimal business operations from the time of its incorporation until April 1, 2024, when Mr. Wong formally surrendered his 99% equity interest to UMSB in accordance with the Mandate. The cost of investment was subsequently repaid to Mr. Wong at book value in conjunction with the share transfer. Accordingly, PT UMI has been consolidated as a subsidiary of UMSB from the date of its incorporation.
PT Ultratrex Indonesia
On August 23, 2010, PT Ultratrex Indonesia was incorporated by Mr. Halim, Ms. Selvia and Mr. Jalu with 98% of the equity interest held by Mr. Halim and 1% of the equity interest held by each Ms. Selvia and Mr. Jalu. The Group2 determined that it had de facto control of PT Ultratrex Indonesia even though it owned less than 50% of the voting rights. This is because the Group is considered to exercise common control over PT Ultratrex Indonesia with a deemed 98% equity interest through Mr. Halim. The Group made this assessment based on the following factors: (i) there is no history of Mr. Halim collaborating with non-controlling interests to exercise their votes collectively or to outvote the Group, (ii) Mr. Halim’s decisions with respect to PT Ultratrex Indonesia have historically been aligned with and guided by the strategic objectives of the Group and (iii) the Group has provided operational and managerial support to PT Ultratrex Indonesia, and the day-to-day operations of PT Ultratrex Indonesia have been closely coordinated with other entities within the Group. On March 26, 2024, Mr. Jalu transferred 1% of equity interest to Mr. Halim. As a result, the deemed equity interest of the Group in PT Ultratrex Indonesia increased from 98% to 99%.

If the vote results in a unanimous decision between the Concert Parties, joint action shall be taken accordingly based on the outcome of such vote. However, in the event that the Concert Parties are unable to reach a unanimous decision in relation to any matter that requires action in concert, a decision that is made by Mr. Halim shall be deemed to represent the decision of all Concert Parties and shall be binding on all Concert Parties, and each Concert Party shall act in concert with other Concert Parties and take joint action based on the results of such decision.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.)
Share Swap and Reorganization of Ultratrex Inc.
On June 30, 2025, Ultratrex Inc. acquired 100% of equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore. The acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of a 100% equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore will be accounted for as a business combination under common control, in accordance with the principles of IFRS 3 Business Combinations of entities under Common Control using the predecessor method, as permitted by the principles of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Under this method, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities were recognized at their pre-acquisition carrying amounts and no goodwill was recognized. The difference between the purchase consideration and the net assets acquired was recorded in the merger reserve in equity. The comparative information was not restated and in line with the Group’s accounting policy for common control transactions, which aims to ensure consistency and reflect the continuity of interests. This accounting treatment is justified by the binding effect of both the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement and Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement.
Prior to the acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of Ultratrex Singapore, the four Concert Parties, Mr. Halim, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim, each held 20% equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore. Since the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement was in effect then, Mr. Halim exercised de facto control over Ultratrex Singapore. Following the completion of the acquisition and share swap, Mr. Halim, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim each held 38%, 24%, 12% and 12% of the Class A Shares in Ultratrex Inc., respectively, with Mr. Halim holding 100% of the Class B Shares in Ultratrex Inc. As a result, Mr. Halim holds 90.5% of the total voting power of Ultratrex Inc. immediately prior to the offering and will hold 89.4% of the total voting power following the offering. The allocation of equity interests and voting rights in Ultratrex Inc. was determined by mutual agreement among the shareholders in connection with the reorganization of the Group. Since the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement is in effect, Mr. Halim continues to exercise de facto control over Ultratrex Inc. after the acquisition and share swap. Accordingly, because of the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement and Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, Mr. Halim may be deemed to have maintained control over the Group throughout the acquisition and reorganization, and there has been no change in control as a result of the reorganization.
In view of this, common control is deemed to have been in effect since the incorporation of each entity within the Group. The reorganization was completed on June 30, 2025. As a result of the reorganization, the Company became the holding company for a group of companies that will be referred to as the Group. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been presented using the pooling of interest method whereby the Company is shown as if it had been the holding company from the beginning of the first reporting period presented because all the companies in the Group were under common control.
Surrender of Shares
On September 3, 2025, the Company accepted the surrender of 3,750,000 Class A Shares (“Surrendered Shares”) at no consideration pursuant to Paragraph (1) of Section 37B of Part III of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the Surrendered Shares have been cancelled upon surrendered. Following this, 15,000,000 Class A Shares and 5,000,000 Class B Shares remain issued and outstanding.
NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
There are no subsidiaries that has non-controlling interests which are material to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below, and are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
At the date of authorization of those financial statements, our Group has not adopted the new and revised IFRSs and amendments to IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective to them. Unless otherwise disclosed, the Group is in the process of assessing the full impact of the above standards and amendments to published standards on the financial statements of the Group in the year of initial application.

The adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the financial statements of the Group.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Group and all its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group 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. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
(a) Power over the investee;
(b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
(c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
If the Group has less than a majority of the voting of similar rights (“de facto control”) of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
(a) The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
(b) Rights arising from other contractual agreements; and
(c) The voting rights of the Group and potential voting rights.
In addition, de facto control exists when an entity has the ability to direct the relevant activities of another entity, even without holding a majority of the voting rights. The following factors are considered in determining de facto control:
(a) Majority Voting Rights:
An entity may have de facto control if it holds a significant portion of the voting rights, even if less than 50%, and the remaining voting rights are widely dispersed among many shareholders.
(b) Potential Voting Rights:
Control may be established through potential voting rights, such as options or convertible instruments, that when exercised, would give the entity a majority of the voting rights.
(c) De Facto Agents:
An entity may control another entity through de facto agents who act on its behalf in directing the relevant activities.
(d) Economic Dependence:
An entity may have de facto control if another entity is economically dependent on it, such as through significant funding or resource provision.
(e) Special Relationships:
Long-standing business relationships or familial ties that result in one entity consistently following the directives of another may indicate de facto control.
Intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in the consolidated financial statement. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with the associate are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the interest of the Group in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no impairment.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Group, using consistent accounting policies. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests, if any, represent equity in subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the parent, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Group. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the effective date on which control ceases, as appropriate. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
F-15
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between:
(a) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and
(b) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or, where applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations other than those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the acquisition method of accounting.
Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
(a) deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively; and
(b) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases are recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases.
Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The Group accounts for changes in fair value of contingent consideration that are not measurement period adjustments as follows:
(a) Contingent consideration classified as equity shall not be remeasured and its subsequent settlement shall be accounted for within equity.
(b) Other contingent consideration that:
(i) is within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for the relevant period.
(ii) is not within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognized in profit or loss.
In a business combination achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests shall be measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRS. The choice of measurement basis is made on a combination-by-combination basis. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity.

ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
Any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fair value of the previously held equity interest of the Group in the acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill in the statement of financial position. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognized as a gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by applying the pooling of interest method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the entities are reflected at their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Any difference between the consideration paid and the share capital and capital reserves of the “acquired” entity is reflected within equity as merger reserve, if any. Merger reserve is non-distributable. The statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the results of the entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination takes place. Comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined since the date the entities had come under common control.
Entities under common control are entities, which are ultimately controlled by the same parties and that control is not transitory. Control exists when the same parties have, as a result of contractual agreements, ultimate collective power to govern the financial and operating policies of each of the entities so as to obtain benefits from their activities, and that ultimate collective power is not transitory. The financial statements of commonly controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the day that control commences until the date that control ceases.
FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY
Functional and presentation currency
The individual financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statements of financial positions of the Group are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”) which is the functional currency of the Group and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
Monetary items include primarily financial assets (other than equity investments), contract assets and financial liabilities.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.
Translation of Group entities’ financial statements
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date;
(ii) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and

These currency translation differences are reclassified to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal with loss of control of the foreign operation.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets
All items of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the subsequent costs would flow to the Group and the cost of the asset could be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Group is obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset and which has a different useful life, is depreciated separately.
After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives represent common life expectancies applied in the industry within which the Group operates. The principal annual depreciation rates are as follows:
|
Freehold factory buildings |
2% |
|
|
Furniture and fittings |
10% to 20% |
|
|
Motor vehicles |
12.5% to 25% |
|
|
Office equipment |
10% to 25% |
|
|
Plant and machinery |
10% to 25% |
|
|
Renovation |
10% to 25% |
|
|
Signboard |
10% |
|
|
Tools and equipment |
10% |
Freehold land has unlimited useful life and is not depreciated.
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets is assessed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount is included in profit or loss.

LEASES
Definition of a lease
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application of IFRS 16 or arising from business combinations, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under IFRS 16 at inception, modification date or acquisition date, as appropriate. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.
The Group as a lessee
Right-of-use assets
The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprise the initial amount of the lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the leases.
After initial recognition, right-of-use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liabilities.
The right-of-use assets are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the earlier of the estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term. The principal depreciation periods are as follows:
|
Leasehold land |
2% |
|
|
Leasehold buildings |
2% to 50% |
|
|
Motor vehicles |
12.5% to 20% |
|
|
Plant and machinery |
10% |
|
|
Tool and equipment |
10% |
The cost of right-of-use asset includes:
• the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
• any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and
• an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.
The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of financial position.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
F-19
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
The lease payments include:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
• variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
• amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and
• payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.
After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.
The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:
• the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment.
• the lease payments change due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review/expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.
• there is a modification in the scope or the consideration of the lease that was not part of the original term
The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of financial position.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases of motor vehicles that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis over the lease term.
Refundable rental deposits
Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted under IFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.
The Group as lessor
The Group classified its leases as either operating leases or finance leases. Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
If the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets, the leases are classified as finance leases and are capitalized at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS
Deferred initial public offering (“IPO”) costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the intended IPO. Deferred IPO costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity netted against the proceeds upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred IPO costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to statements of comprehensive income.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labor costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in-first-out basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and one-time termination benefits for certain employees are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are initially recognized, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”), directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group determines the classification of financial assets upon initial recognition. The measurement for each classification of financial assets is as below:
(i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets that are debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows and have contractual terms which give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss through the amortization process and when the financial assets are impaired or derecognized.
(ii) Financial assets measured subsequently at fair value
Financial assets that are debt instruments are measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”) if they are held within a business model whose objectives are to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and have contractual terms which give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets that are debt instruments are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, exchange differences and interest income which are recognized in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognized.
F-22
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
Financial assets that are debt instruments, which do not satisfy the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. Any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
The Group does not have any financial assets measured at FVTOCI and FVTPL as at the end of the reporting period.
Equity instruments are classified as financial assets measured at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Equity instruments are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for sale in the near term or are derivatives that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria (including separated embedded derivatives). The Group has an option to elect an irrevocable option to designate its equity instruments at initial recognition as financial assets measured at FVTOCI if the equity instruments are not held for trading.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets that are equity instruments are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss for equity instruments measured at FVTPL. As for equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss.
Dividends on equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three (3) months or less, and are used by the Group in the management of their short term commitments. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss.
A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or marketplace convention.
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. A financial liability is classified into the following two (2) categories after initial recognition for the purpose of subsequent measurement:
(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial liabilities that are held for trading, derivatives (both, freestanding and embedded) and financial liabilities that were specifically designated into this classification upon initial recognition.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss.
F-23
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
(ii) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities comprise non-derivative financial liabilities that are neither held for trading nor initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses on other financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss when the financial liabilities are derecognized and through the amortization process.
A financial liability is derecognized when, and only when, it is extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
Any difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
(c) Equity
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments.
Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received at issuance and classified as equity. Transactions costs directly related to the issuance of equity instrument are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. Otherwise, they are charged to profit or loss.
Interim and final dividends to shareholders are recognized in equity in the period in which they are authorized for issuance.
The Group measures a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to the owners of the Group at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. The carrying amount of the dividend is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the settlement date, with any changes recognized directly in equity as adjustments to the amount of the distribution. On settlement of the transaction, the Group recognizes the difference, if any, between the carrying amounts of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the liability in profit or loss.
(d) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss incurred because a specified debtor failed to make payment when payment was due.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts are recognized as income in the profit or loss over the period of the guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payments relating to the financial guarantee contract when it is due to the Group, as the issuer is required to reimburse the holder for the associated loss, the liability is measured at the higher of the Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) allowance and the amount initially recognized less any cumulative amount of income/amortization recognized.
IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Group recognizes an impairment loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost.
F-24
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
The Group recognizes allowance for impairment loss for trade receivables based on the simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and measures the allowance for impairment loss based on a lifetime expected credit loss from initial recognition.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the asset, while twelve-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the twelve (12) months after the reporting date. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group are exposed to credit risk.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for financial assets other than trade receivables by comparing the risk of default occurring over the expected life with the risk of default since initial recognition. For those in which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial asset, twelve-month expected credit losses along with gross interest income are recognized. For those in which credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime expected credit losses along with the gross interest income are recognized. For those that are determined to be credit impaired, lifetime expected credit losses along with interest income on a net basis are recognized.
The Group considers historical credit loss experience and observable data such as current changes and future forecasts in economic conditions to estimate the amount of expected impairment loss. The methodology and assumptions including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance for impairment loss account and the amount of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. When a financial asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for impairment loss account.
BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is capitalized as part of the cost of the asset until when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete, after which such expense is charged to profit or loss. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalization of borrowing cost is suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted.
The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is the actual borrowing costs incurred on the borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of the borrowing.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. the Group uses a five-step approach to recognize revenue:
• Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a client
• Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
• Step 3: Determine the transaction price
• Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
• Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation
F-25
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e., when “control” of the services underlying the particular performance obligations is transferred to clients.
A performance obligation represents a service (or a bundle of services) that is distinct or a series of distinct services that are substantially the same.
Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:
• the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
• the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the client controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
• the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date
Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct service.
The Group recognizes revenue from the following major sources:
• Sales of goods;
• Service fee;
• Rental income.
Sales of goods
The Group sales of amphibious vehicles to the customers. The Group will typically receive purchase orders from its customers which will set forth products design, quantity to be delivered, the transaction price, terms of delivery and terms of payment. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Group must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is the delivery of the finished product to the customer at their location at which point title to that asset passes to the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to the customer according to respective orders’ shipping terms. There are no long standing contracts with these brands and retailers.
All products sold by the Group are not given right of return. The Group offer a standard warranty on certain products. The provision for warranty is based on estimates from known and expected warranty work to be performed after sale of goods. The actual warranty expense incurred could differ from the provision made. This warranty covers defects in products under normal usage conditions. No extended warranty options are available beyond the standard warranty period.
Service fee
Service fee includes repair, installation, dismantling, freight management and so on which provided on ad hoc basis. Services fee revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.
Rental income
Rental income includes rental of heavy machineries to customers on long term basis as well as ad hoc basis. rental income revenue is recognized over time over the period of tenancy.

INTEREST INCOME
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
TAXATION
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit/(loss) before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employee benefits are recognized as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalized as an asset.
(a) Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities such as the Employee Provident Fund on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.

(b) Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
(c) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably
(d) Defined benefits plans
Entity in Indonesia provide for Post-employment benefit obligations for eligible employees on unfunded defined benefit basis in accordance with the Labour Law in Indonesia. The obligations of the defined benefit plans are calculated as the present values of obligations at end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method which is based on the last drawn salaries at the end of the reporting period, age and the length of service.
Service and interest costs are recognized in profit or loss. Remeasurements of the defined benefit plans which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income in the year in which they occur.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of presentation in the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
SHARE CAPITAL
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account.
The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time, and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. In respect of the Company’s treasury shares that are held by the Company, all rights are suspended until those shares are reissued.
RESERVES
Retained earnings
Retained earnings comprise the cumulative net profits recognized in the Group’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record foreign currency exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of a foreign operation whose functional currency is different from that of the presentation currency of the Group.

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS
Management believes that there are no key assumptions made concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year other than as disclosed below:-
(a) Allowance for expected credit losses of receivables
The Group uses the simplified approach to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. The Group develops the expected loss rates based on the payment profiles of past sales and the corresponding historical credit losses, and adjusts for qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of trade receivables.
(b) Allowance for inventories obsolescence
Management determines whether an allowance is required for inventories obsolescence or slow-moving stock or for any shortfall in net realizable value of inventories by reviewing the inventory listing on a periodic basis (at least on an annual basis).
The determination of net realizable value is subject to significant estimation uncertainty, in particular because the salability and margins of products are affected by factors such as changing consumer demand, technology trends, supply-related scarcity, and economic uncertainties. There is significant management judgement involved in setting expectations about future sales of slow-moving inventories items.
The review involves, but not limited to, an analysis of the inventories ageing, a comparison of the carrying value of the inventory items with the respective net realizable value as well as the forecasted demand for the inventories. Arising from the review, management sets up the necessary allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories or for any short fall in the net realizable value of the inventories.
Taking into account factors impacting the inventory provisioning including trading assumptions being 10% higher or lower than expected, this would result a potential outcome in an increase or decrease of the allowance for inventory obsolescence amounting to approximately USD676,000 (2023: USD499,000) in profit or loss.
(c) Common control
The Group has assessed the impact of a restructuring event involving a change in the pool of investors. Management has exercised judgment in determining that the transaction qualifies as a common control exist, based on an analysis of the ownership structure and control relationships before and after the restructuring. This judgment is predicated on the assumption that the ultimate controlling parties remain substantially the same, with the current pool of investors reflecting continuity of control. The determination involves evaluating the relative voting rights, economic interests, and decision-making authority held by the investors pre- and post-restructuring. This assessment has a significant impact on the consolidation of entities and the recognition of any gain or loss arising from the transaction. The key assumptions underlying this judgment include the stability of the investor pool and the absence of a substantive change in control, which are subject to uncertainty and may require adjustment in future periods if new information becomes available.

(f) The Group determines the lease term of a lease as the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend or to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the relevant options. Management has considered the relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to either exercise the option to extend the lease, or to exercise the option to terminate the lease. Any differences in expectations from the original estimates would impact the carrying amounts of the lease liabilities of the Group. The finance lease liabilities of the Group attract interest at rates ranging from 3.55% to 8.70% (June 30, 2023: 3.55% to 7.68%) per annum. The lease payments relating to operating lease liabilities are discounted using the annual incremental borrowing rates of the Group ranging from 3.50% to 8.90% (June 30, 2023: 3.50% to 8.90%).

(a) Trade receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost.
(b) Trade receivables are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 60 days (2023: 30 to 60 days) credit terms.
(c) Impairment for trade receivables is recognized based on the simplified approach using the lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the asset. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
The Group considers historical credit loss experience and observable data such as current changes and future forecasts in economic conditions to estimate the amount of expected impairment loss. The methodology and assumptions including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly.
During this process, the probability of non-payment by the trade receivables is adjusted by forward looking information and multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the trade receivables. For trade receivables, which are reported net, such impairments are recorded in a separate impairment account with the loss being recognized within administrative expenses in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. On confirmation that the trade receivable would not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset would be written off against the associated impairment.
Individual assessment of impairment of trade receivables are separately assessed when it is probable that cash due will not be received in full.
Significant judgement is required in determining the probability of default by trade receivables and appropriate forward-looking information.

32 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Capital management
The capital structure of the Group mainly comprises share capital and retained earnings. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and meet obligations when they fall due.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. The management considers the cost of capital and the risk associated with each class of capital. The Group may adjust dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares. No changes were made to the objectives, policies, or processes during the financial years ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024.
The Group is not subject to any other externally imposed capital requirements.
As of the end of reporting date, the management has reviewed and concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Financial risk management
The financial risk management objective of the Group is to optimize value creation for shareholders whilst minimizing the potential adverse impact arising from liquidity and cash flow risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk.
The Directors of the Group review and agree policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are executed by the management of the Group. It is, and has been the policy of the Group, throughout the current and previous financial year that no derivatives shall be undertaken.

32 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)
The following sections provide details regarding the exposure of the Group to the above mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables.
Concentrations
The Board of Directors determines concentrations of credit risk by on-going monitoring the creditworthiness rating of existing customers and through an on-going review of the trade receivables’ ageing analysis. In monitoring the customers’ credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics. Customers that are graded as “high risk” are placed on a restricted customer list, and future credit sales are made only with approval of the Board of Directors, otherwise payment in advance is required.
The Group does not have any significant credit exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics, except for approximately 57% and 42% of the Group’s trade receivables arose from four and two groups of customers respectively, as of June 30, 2023 and 2024.
In addition, the following table sets forth a summary of single customers whom represent 10% or more of the Group’s total revenue:

* Revenue from relevant customer was less than 10% of the Group’s total revenue for the respective year.
Cash and cash equivalents are placed with credit-worthy financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and therefore credit risk is limited. The Group has adopted procedures in extending credit terms to customers and monitoring its credit risk. Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Before accepting any new customer, the Group carries out research on the credit risk of the new customer and assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed when necessary.
The Group’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:
|

Description |
Basis of recognizing ECL |

|
Low risk |
The counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past-due amounts. |

(ii) Liquidity risk management
The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all operating, investing and financing needs are met. In executing its liquidity risk management strategy, the Group measures and forecasts its cash commitments and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the activities of the Group.
The Group is actively managing its operating cash flows to ensure all commitments and funding needs are met. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the financial instruments of the Group would fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The exposure of the Group to interest rates risk arises primarily from their floating interest rate borrowings such as variable rate. This policy is managed centrally. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge this risk.
The interest rate profile and sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk have been disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements.
(iv) Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when individual entities within the Group enters into transactions denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. The Group’s policy is, where possible, to allow individual entities within the Group to settle liabilities denominated in their functional currency) with the cash generated from their own operations in that currency. Where individual entities within the Group have liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency (and have insufficient reserves of that currency to settle them), cash already denominated in that currency will, where possible, be transferred from elsewhere within the Group.

(v) Fair values
Fair value hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
|
Level 1 |
fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|||
|
Level 2 |
fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). |
|||
|
Level 3 |
fair value measurements are those derived from inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) |
The recurring fair value measurements under the relevant fair value hierarchy have been disclosed in the Notes 6 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
Fair value of financial instruments
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value
Fair value measurements that use inputs of different hierarchy levels are categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The management considers that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The fair values of the Group’s borrowings are determined by using the discounted cash flows method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The Group’s non-performance risk as at June 30, 2023 and 2024 was assessed to be insignificant.
The fair values of other classes of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes to consolidated financial statements.
Transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy
During the financial year, there were no assets or liabilities transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 or transfers into or out of Level 3. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers (if any) between levels of fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which they occur.
Valuation policies and procedures
The board of directors oversees the Company’s financial reporting and valuation processes and is responsible for setting and documenting the Company’s valuation policies and procedures.

To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Ultratrex Inc.
Results of Review Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial positions of Ultratrex Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and the related unaudited condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity, and statements of cash flows for six-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated statements of financial positions of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2024, and the related statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended (not presented herein),we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial positions as of June 30, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statements of financial positions from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

The Group is involved in manufacturing, trading and leasing of amphibious excavators, dredgers machineries and amphibious harvesters, leasing of all kinds of hydraulic cranes, related heavy machineries and spares parts primarily through Ultratrex Machinery Sdn. Bhd. (“UMSB”) and PT Ultratrex Indonesia.
UMSB
The reorganization begins with UMSB, which was under common control of Mr. Salim Podiono (“Mr. Salim”), Mr. Halim Podiono (“Mr. Halim”), Mr. Nursalim Podiono (“Mr. Nursalim”), Mr. Taslim Podiono (“Mr. Taslim”) (each a “Concert Party” and collectively the “Concert Parties”) each holding 20% of the equity interest in UMSB. Mr. Wong Kok Seng (“Mr. Wong”) owned the remaining 20% of the equity interest. On December 6, 2023, Mr. Halim transferred his 20% equity interest to Mr. Salim. Notwithstanding the transfer, the Group determined that common control of UMSB remain unchanged based on the following factors: (i) after the transfer, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim collectively held 80% of the equity interest in UMSB, and these three parties along with Mr. Halim have consistently acted and continued to act in alignment with one another on key business and operational decisions of UMSB, (ii) Mr. Halim remained actively involved in the overall management of the Group and continued to influence key business and operational decisions, including those of UMSB, through his roles as director at UMSB and Ultratrex Indonesia, and his close working relationship with the remaining shareholders of UMSB. Accordingly, based on the aligned direction and control historically exercised by this group of individuals and Mr. Halim’s continued involvement key business and

operational decisions, the Group determined that following the transfer of Mr. Halim’s 20% equity interest in UMSB to Mr. Salim, UMSB remained in common control with the other Group entities which Mr. Halim holds a controlling equity interest.
Incorporation of PT Ultratrex Machinery Indonesia (“PT UMI”)
On October 20, 2022, PT UMI was incorporated in Indonesia by Mr. Wong and Mr. Chua Kok Guan, who held 99% and 1% of the equity interest in PT UMI, respectively. The incorporation and ownership structure were carried out pursuant to a mandate in the form of a written agreement dated October 18, 2022, between UMSB and Mr. Wong (the “Mandate”), under which Mr. Wong was expressly appointed and authorized by UMSB to incorporate PT UMI and to hold 99% of the equity interest in his personal capacity solely for and on behalf of UMSB. The Mandate further provided that Mr. Wong would transfer his entire equity interest in PT UMI to UMSB or its designee upon request, and no consideration was payable between the parties in respect of such transfer. The cost of investment of approximately RM3.0 million required to incorporate PT UMI was to be borne by UMSB.
De facto control by the Group1 over PT UMI
Although UMSB did not hold the majority of the voting rights in PT UMI during the period from its incorporation to April 1, 2024, the Group, which was assessed to be under common control of Mr. Salim, Mr. Halim, Mr. Nursalim, Mr. Taslim and Mr. Wong, determined that it had de facto control over PT UMI from the time of incorporation and consolidated it as a subsidiary of UMSB from such date. The Group was deemed to have had the power to govern PT UMI’s financial and operating policies and obtain benefits from its activities based on the following factors: (i) Mr. Wong held his 99% equity interest solely as a nominee pursuant to the Mandate and did not contribute capital or assume economic risk; (ii) UMSB funded the full cost of incorporation and bore the financial risks and rewards associated with PT UMI’s activities; (iii) pursuant to the Mandate, Mr. Wong was contractually obligated to transfer all of his shares in PT UMI to UMSB or its designee upon request, and he held such shares solely for the benefit of UMSB, which limited his discretion and reinforced UMSB’s practical ability to direct the relevant activities of PT UMI and to affect returns from such activities; and (iv) there is no history or arrangement under which Mr. Wong collaborated with any non-controlling interests or exercised voting rights independently of UMSB. Furthermore, PT UMI had minimal business operations from the time of its incorporation until April 1, 2024, when Mr. Wong formally surrendered his 99% equity interest to UMSB in accordance with the Mandate. The cost of investment was subsequently repaid to Mr. Wong at book value in conjunction with the share transfer. Accordingly, PT UMI has been consolidated as a subsidiary of UMSB from the date of its incorporation.
PT Ultratrex Indonesia
On August 23, 2010, PT Ultratrex Indonesia was incorporated by Mr. Halim, Ms. Selvia and Mr. Jalu with 98% of the equity interest held by Mr. Halim and 1% of the equity interest held by each Ms. Selvia and Mr. Jalu. The Group2 determined that it had de facto control of PT Ultratrex Indonesia even though it owned less than 50% of the voting rights. This is because the Group is considered to exercise common control over PT Ultratrex Indonesia with a deemed 98% equity interest through Mr. Halim. The Group made this assessment based on the

following factors: (i) there is no history of Mr. Halim collaborating with non-controlling interests to exercise their votes collectively or to outvote the Group, (ii) Mr. Halim’s decisions with respect to PT Ultratrex Indonesia have historically been aligned with and guided by the strategic objectives of the Group and (iii) the Group has provided operational and managerial support to PT Ultratrex Indonesia, and the day-to-day operations of PT Ultratrex Indonesia have been closely coordinated with other entities within the Group. On March 26, 2024, Mr. Jalu transferred 1% of equity interest to Mr. Halim. As a result, the deemed equity interest of the Group in PT Ultratrex Indonesia increased from 98% to 99%.
Incorporation of Ultratrex Co., Ltd
On January 27, 2015, Ultratrex Co., Ltd was incorporated by Mr. Halim with 100% of equity interest being held by Ultrator Co., Ltd. Ultrator Co., Ltd is owned by Mr. Halim and Mr. Yoshio Irie with 90% and 10% of the equity interest, respectively. The Group3 determined that it had de facto control of Ultratrex Co., Ltd even though it owned less than 50% of the voting rights. This is because the Group is considered to exercise common control over Ultratrex Co., Ltd with a deemed 100% equity interest through Mr. Halim’s majority ownership and effective control of Ultrator Co., Ltd.4 The Group made this assessment based on the following factors: (i) there is no history of Mr. Halim collaborating with non-controlling shareholders of Ultrator Co., Ltd to outvote the Group and influence Ultrator Co., Ltd’s exercise of voting rights in Ultratrex Co., Ltd, (ii) Mr. Halim’s decisions with respect to Ultrator Co., Ltd and Ultratrex Co., Ltd have historically been aligned with and guided by the strategic objectives of the Group and (iii) the Group has provided operational and managerial support to Ultratrex Co., Ltd, and the day-to-day operations of Ultratrex Co., Ltd have been closely coordinated with other entities within the Group.

Incorporation of Ultratrex Singapore and the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement
On July 3, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore was incorporated by Mr. Salim, Mr. Halim, Mr. Nursalim, Mr. Taslim and Mr. Wong with 20% of the equity interest each. Upon the incorporation of Ultratrex Singapore, the Concert Parties entered into an Acting-in-Concert Agreement dated July 3, 2024 (the “Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement”) to exercise their votes as actors in concert.
Pursuant to the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, the Concert Parties were contractually obligated to act in concert and make joint decisions on all matters that require the decisions of the shareholders of Ultratrex Singapore. Under the constitution of Ultratrex Singapore, such matters requiring the decisions of shareholders include: approving any amendments to the company’s constitution; authorizing any alteration of the company’s share capital, including increases, consolidations, sub-divisions, conversions, cancellations or reductions; issuing redeemable preference shares; appointing or removing directors at a general meeting; approving the variation or abrogation of rights attaching to any class of shares; appointing and removing auditors and approving their remuneration; declaring dividends; and any other matter expressly reserved for determination by the members under the Singapore Companies Act 1967 or the constitution of the company from time to time.
The terms of the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement provided that the Concert Parties shall consult with each other and vote among themselves on such matters, with each Concert Party entitled to one (1) vote, regardless of their respective shareholdings in Ultratrex Singapore.

Through his majority ownership of Ultrator Co., Ltd., Mr. Halim has effective control over its decisions, including the disposal of shares in Ultratrex Co., Ltd.

in the event that the Concert Parties are unable to reach a unanimous decision in relation to any matter that requires action in concert, a decision that is made by Mr. Halim shall be deemed to represent the decision of all Concert Parties and shall be binding on all Concert Parties, and each Concert Party shall act in concert with other Concert Parties and take joint action based on the results of such decision. Accordingly, under the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, Mr. Halim exercised de facto control over Ultratrex Singapore. There was no consideration exchanged among the shareholders in connection with the formation of the Concert Parties and execution of the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement. The Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement remained in force until only one Concert Party remained a shareholder, and therefore the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement came to an end on June 30, 2025 upon the acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of 100% of Ultratrex Singapore as part of the reorganization of the Group.
Incorporation of Ultratrex Inc. and the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement
On August 15, 2024, Ultratrex Inc. was incorporated, with Mr. Halim holding 100% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company, consisting only of Class B Shares at the time of incorporation. Upon the incorporation of Ultratrex Inc., the Concert Parties entered into another acting-in-concert agreement dated August 15, 2024, in substantially the same form and with the same material terms as the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, to exercise their votes as actors in concert in relation to Ultratrex Inc. (the “Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, the Concert Parties are contractually obligated to act in concert and make joint decisions on all matters that require the decisions of the shareholders of the Company. Under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, such matters requiring the decisions of shareholders of the Company include: approving any amendments to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association; authorizing any alteration of the Company’s share capital, including increases, consolidations, sub-divisions or cancellations; appointing or removing Directors at a general meeting, including in circumstances where there are insufficient Directors; approving the winding up or liquidation of the Company and the distribution of assets on a winding up; approving any variation or abrogation of the rights attaching to any class of shares; appointing and removing auditors; declaring dividends and approving other distributions (subject to the recommendation of the board of Directors); and any other matter expressly reserved for determination by the Members under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or the Articles of Association from time to time.
The Concert Parties are required to vote and act in concert in the same manner as the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement, including that in the event that the Concert Parties are unable to reach a unanimous decision in relation to any matter that requires action in concert, a decision that is made by Mr. Halim shall be deemed to represent the decision of all Concert Parties and shall be binding on all Concert Parties. Accordingly, under the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, Mr. Halim exercised de facto control over the Company. There was no consideration exchanged among the shareholders in connection with the formation of the Concert Parties and execution of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement. The Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement remains in force until only one Concert Party remains a shareholder, and therefore the agreement will remain in force after both the acquisition of Ultratrex Inc. of Ultratrex Singapore and of the offering since the Concert Parties will continue to remain shareholders of Ultratrex Inc. Under the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, if any of the Concert Parties transfers its shares of the Company, as a prerequisite, unless waived in writing by all of the other Concert Parties, it shall ensure that the transferee is bound by the provisions of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, and the transferee upon receiving the transfer of the shares shall be deemed as having agreed to the provisions of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement and having agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement.

Share Swap and Reorganization of Ultratrex Singapore
UMSB
On November 15, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore entered into a share swap agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interest in UMSB from Mr. Salim, Mr. Taslim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Wong. On December 2, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore allocated 13,200,000 ordinary shares to Mr. Salim, Mr. Taslim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Wong. On January 6, 2025, Mr. Salim, Mr. Taslim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Wong transferred 100% of equity interest in UMSB to Ultratrex Singapore.
PT Ultratrex Indonesia
On November 29, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore entered into a share swap agreement to acquire 99% of the equity interest in PT Ultratrex Indonesia from Mr. Halim. On December 2, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore allocated 7,524,000 ordinary shares to Mr. Halim. On December 6, 2024, Mr. Halim transferred all of his equity interest in PT Ultratrex Indonesia to Ultratrex Singapore, and Ms. Selvia transferred 1% of hers to Mr. Halim. On December 12, 2024, Ultratrex Singapore and Mr. Halim subscribed for the issuance of 79,200 and 800 additional ordinary shares respectively. Following the issuance, the equity interest of Ultratrex Singapore and Mr. Halim in PT Ultratrex Indonesia remained unchanged at 99% and 1% respectively.
Share Swap and Reorganization of Ultratrex Inc.
On June 30, 2025, Ultratrex Inc. acquired 100% of equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore. The acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of a 100% equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore will be accounted for as a business combination under common control, in accordance with the principles of IFRS 3 Business Combinations of entities under Common Control using the predecessor method, as permitted by the principles of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Under this method, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities were recognized at their pre-acquisition carrying amounts and no goodwill was recognized. The difference between the purchase consideration and the net assets acquired was recorded in the merger reserve in equity. The comparative information was not restated and in line with the Group’s accounting policy for common control transactions, which aims to ensure consistency and reflect the continuity of interests. This accounting treatment is justified by the binding effect of both the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement and Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement.
Prior to the acquisition by Ultratrex Inc. of Ultratrex Singapore, the four Concert Parties, Mr. Halim, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim, each held 20% equity interest in Ultratrex Singapore. Since the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement was in effect then, Mr. Halim exercised de facto control over Ultratrex Singapore. Following the completion of the acquisition and share swap, Mr. Halim, Mr. Salim, Mr. Nursalim and Mr. Taslim each held 38%, 24%, 12% and 12% of the Class A Shares in Ultratrex Inc., respectively, with Mr. Halim holding 100% of the Class B Shares in Ultratrex Inc. As a result, Mr. Halim holds 90.5% of the total voting power of Ultratrex Inc. immediately prior to the offering and will hold 89.4% of the total voting power following the offering. The allocation of equity interests and voting rights in Ultratrex Inc. was determined by mutual agreement among the shareholders in connection with the reorganization of the Group. Since the Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement is in effect, Mr. Halim continues to exercise de facto control over Ultratrex Inc. after the acquisition and share swap. Accordingly, because of the Ultratrex Singapore AIC Agreement and Ultratrex Cayman AIC Agreement, Mr. Halim may be deemed to have maintained control over the Group throughout the acquisition and reorganization, and there has been no change in control as a result of the reorganization.
In view of this, common control is deemed to have been in effect since the incorporation of each entity within the Group. The reorganization was completed on June 30, 2025. As a result of the reorganization, the Company became the holding company for a group of companies that will be referred to as the Group. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been presented using the pooling of interest method whereby the Company is shown as if it had been the holding company from the beginning of the first reporting period presented because all the companies in the Group were under common control.

2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below, and are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financing Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Group and all its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group 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. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
(a) Power over the investee;
(b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
(c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
If the Group has less than a majority of the voting of similar rights (“de facto control”) of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
(a) The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
(b) Rights arising from other contractual agreements; and
(c) The voting rights of the Group and potential voting rights.
F-75
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
In addition, de facto control exists when an entity has the ability to direct the relevant activities of another entity, even without holding a majority of the voting rights. The following factors are considered in determining de facto control:
(a) Majority Voting Rights:
An entity may have de facto control if it holds a significant portion of the voting rights, even if less than 50%, and the remaining voting rights are widely dispersed among many shareholders.
(b) Potential Voting Rights:
Control may be established through potential voting rights, such as options or convertible instruments, that when exercised, would give the entity a majority of the voting rights.
(c) De Facto Agents:
An entity may control another entity through de facto agents who act on its behalf in directing the relevant activities.
(d) Economic Dependence:
An entity may have de facto control if another entity is economically dependent on it, such as through significant funding or resource provision.
(e) Special Relationships:
Long-standing business relationships or familial ties that result in one entity consistently following the directives of another may indicate de facto control.
Intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in the consolidated financial statement. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with the associate are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the interest of the Group in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no impairment.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Group, using consistent accounting policies. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests, if any, represent equity in subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the parent, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Group. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the effective date on which control ceases, as appropriate. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between:
(a) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and
(b) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
F-76
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or, where applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations other than those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the acquisition method of accounting.
Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
(a) deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively; and
(b) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases are recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases.
Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The Group accounts for changes in fair value of contingent consideration that are not measurement period adjustments as follows:
(a) Contingent consideration classified as equity shall not be remeasured and its subsequent settlement shall be accounted for within equity.
(b) Other contingent consideration that:
(i) is within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for the relevant period.
(ii) is not within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognized in profit or loss.
In a business combination achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests shall be measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRS. The choice of measurement basis is made on a combination-by-combination basis. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity.
Any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fair value of the previously held equity interest of the Group in the acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill in the statement of financial position. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognized as a gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss on the acquisition date.

2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by applying the pooling of interest method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the entities are reflected at their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Any difference between the consideration paid and the share capital and capital reserves of the “acquired” entity is reflected within equity as merger reserve, if any. Merger reserve is non-distributable. The statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the results of the entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination takes place. Comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined since the date the entities had come under common control.
Entities under common control are entities, which are ultimately controlled by the same parties and that control is not transitory. Control exists when the same parties have, as a result of contractual agreements, ultimate collective power to govern the financial and operating policies of each of the entities so as to obtain benefits from their activities, and that ultimate collective power is not transitory. The financial statements of commonly controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the day that control commences until the date that control ceases.
FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY
Functional and presentation currency
The individual financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statements of financial positions of the Group are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”) which is the functional currency of the Group and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
Monetary items include primarily financial assets (other than equity investments), contract assets and financial liabilities.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.
Translation of Group entities’ financial statements
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date;
(ii) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and
(iii) all resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the currency translation reserve. These currency translation differences are reclassified to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal with loss of control of the foreign operation.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets
All items of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the subsequent costs would flow to the Group and the cost of the asset could be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Group is obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset and which has a different useful life, is depreciated separately.
After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives represent common life expectancies applied in the industry within which the Group operates. The principal annual depreciation rates are as follows:
|
Freehold factory buildings |
2% |
|
|
Furniture and fittings |
10% to 20% |
|
|
Motor vehicles |
12.5% to 25% |
|
|
Office equipment |
10% to 25% |
|
|
Plant and machinery |
10% to 25% |
|
|
Renovation |
10% to 25% |
|
|
Signboard |
10% |
|
|
Tools and equipment |
10% |
Freehold land has unlimited useful life and is not depreciated.
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets is assessed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment excluding right-of-use assets is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount is included in profit or loss.
LEASES
Definition of a lease
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application of IFRS 16 or arising from business combinations, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under IFRS 16 at inception, modification date or acquisition date, as appropriate. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.
The Group as a lessee
Right-of-use assets
The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprise the initial amount of the lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the leases.
After initial recognition, right-of-use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liabilities.
The right-of-use assets are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the earlier of the estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term. The principal depreciation periods are as follows:
|
Leasehold land |
2% |
|
|
Leasehold buildings |
2% to 50% |
|
|
Motor vehicles |
12.5% to 20% |
|
|
Plant and machinery |
10% |
|
|
Tool and equipment |
10% |
The cost of right-of-use asset includes:
• the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
• any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and
• an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.
The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of financial position.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
The lease payments include:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
• variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
• amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;
F-80
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and
• payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.
After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.
The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:
• the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment.
• the lease payments change due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review/expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.
• there is a modification in the scope or the consideration of the lease that was not part of the original term
The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of financial position.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases of motor vehicles that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis over the lease term.
Refundable rental deposits
Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted under IFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.
The Group as lessor
The Group classified its leases as either operating leases or finance leases. Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
If the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets, the leases are classified as finance leases and are capitalized at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
F-81
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labor costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in-first-out basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are initially recognized, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”), directly attributable transaction costs.
F-82
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
The Group determines the classification of financial assets upon initial recognition. The measurement for each classification of financial assets is as below:
(i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets that are debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows and have contractual terms which give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss through the amortization process and when the financial assets are impaired or derecognized.
(ii) Financial assets measured subsequently at fair value
Financial assets that are debt instruments are measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”) if they are held within a business model whose objectives are to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and have contractual terms which give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets that are debt instruments are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, exchange differences and interest income which are recognized in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognized.
Financial assets that are debt instruments, which do not satisfy the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. Any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
The Group does not have any financial assets measured at FVTOCI and FVTPL as at the end of the reporting period.
Equity instruments are classified as financial assets measured at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Equity instruments are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for sale in the near term or are derivatives that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria (including separated embedded derivatives). The Group has an option to elect an irrevocable option to designate its equity instruments at initial recognition as financial assets measured at FVTOCI if the equity instruments are not held for trading.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets that are equity instruments are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss for equity instruments measured at FVTPL. As for equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss.
Dividends on equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three (3) months or less, and are used by the Group in the management of their short term commitments. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
F-83
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss.
A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or marketplace convention.
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. A financial liability is classified into the following two (2) categories after initial recognition for the purpose of subsequent measurement:
(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial liabilities that are held for trading, derivatives (both, freestanding and embedded) and financial liabilities that were specifically designated into this classification upon initial recognition.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities comprise non-derivative financial liabilities that are neither held for trading nor initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses on other financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss when the financial liabilities are derecognized and through the amortization process.
A financial liability is derecognized when, and only when, it is extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
Any difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
(c) Equity
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments.
F-84
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received at issuance and classified as equity. Transactions costs directly related to the issuance of equity instrument are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. Otherwise, they are charged to profit or loss.
Interim and final dividends to shareholders are recognized in equity in the period in which they are authorized for issuance.
The Group measures a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to the owners of the Group at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. The carrying amount of the dividend is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the settlement date, with any changes recognized directly in equity as adjustments to the amount of the distribution. On settlement of the transaction, the Group recognizes the difference, if any, between the carrying amounts of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the liability in profit or loss.
(d) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss incurred because a specified debtor failed to make payment when payment was due.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts are recognized as income in the profit or loss over the period of the guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payments relating to the financial guarantee contract when it is due to the Group, as the issuer is required to reimburse the holder for the associated loss, the liability is measured at the higher of the Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) allowance and the amount initially recognized less any cumulative amount of income/amortization recognized.
IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Group recognizes an impairment loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost.
The Group recognizes allowance for impairment loss for trade receivables based on the simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and measures the allowance for impairment loss based on a lifetime expected credit loss from initial recognition.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the asset, while twelve-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the twelve (12) months after the reporting date. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group are exposed to credit risk.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for financial assets other than trade receivables by comparing the risk of default occurring over the expected life with the risk of default since initial recognition. For those in which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial asset, twelve-month expected credit losses along with gross interest income are recognized. For those in which credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime expected credit losses along with the gross interest income are recognized. For those that are determined to be credit impaired, lifetime expected credit losses along with interest income on a net basis are recognized.
The Group considers historical credit loss experience and observable data such as current changes and future forecasts in economic conditions to estimate the amount of expected impairment loss. The methodology and assumptions including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly.
F-85
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance for impairment loss account and the amount of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. When a financial asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for impairment loss account.
BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is capitalized as part of the cost of the asset until when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete, after which such expense is charged to profit or loss. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalization of borrowing cost is suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted.
The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is the actual borrowing costs incurred on the borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of the borrowing.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. the Group uses a five-step approach to recognize revenue:
• Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a client
• Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
• Step 3: Determine the transaction price
• Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
• Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation
The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e., when “control” of the services underlying the particular performance obligations is transferred to clients.
A performance obligation represents a service (or a bundle of services) that is distinct or a series of distinct services that are substantially the same.
Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:
• the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
• the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the client controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
• the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date
Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct service.
The Group recognizes revenue from the following major sources:
• Sales of goods;
• Service fee;
• Rental income.
F-86
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
Sales of goods
The Group sales of amphibious vehicles to the customers. The Group will typically receive purchase orders from its customers which will set forth products design, quantity to be delivered, the transaction price, terms of delivery and terms of payment. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Group must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is the delivery of the finished product to the customer at their location at which point title to that asset passes to the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to the customer according to respective orders’ shipping terms. There are no long standing contracts with these brands and retailers.
All products sold by the Group are not given right of return. The Group offer a standard warranty on certain products. The provision for warranty is based on estimates from known and expected warranty work to be performed after sale of goods. The actual warranty expense incurred could differ from the provision made. This warranty covers defects in products under normal usage conditions. No extended warranty options are available beyond the standard warranty period.
Service fee
Service fee includes repair, installation, dismantling, freight management and so on which provided on ad hoc basis. Services fee revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.
Rental income
Rental income includes rental of heavy machineries to customers on long term basis as well as ad hoc basis. rental income revenue is recognized over time over the period of tenancy.
TAXATION
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit/(loss) before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
F-87
ULTRATREX INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont.)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.
3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS
Management believes that there are no key assumptions made concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year other than as disclosed below:-
(a) Allowance for expected credit losses of receivables
The Group uses the simplified approach to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. The Group develops the expected loss rates based on the payment profiles of past sales and the corresponding historical credit losses, and adjusts for qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of trade receivables.
(b) Allowance for inventories obsolescence
Management determines whether an allowance is required for inventories obsolescence or slow-moving stock or for any shortfall in net realizable value of inventories by reviewing the inventory listing on a periodic basis (at least on an annual basis).
The determination of net realizable value is subject to significant estimation uncertainty, in particular because the salability and margins of products are affected by factors such as changing consumer demand, technology trends, supply-related scarcity, and economic uncertainties. There is significant management judgement involved in setting expectations about future sales of slow-moving inventories items.
The review involves, but not limited to, an analysis of the inventories ageing, a comparison of the carrying value of the inventory items with the respective net realizable value as well as the forecasted demand for the inventories. Arising from the review, management sets up the necessary allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories or for any short fall in the net realizable value of the inventories.
Taking into account factors impacting the inventory provisioning including trading assumptions being 10% higher or lower than expected, this would result a potential outcome in an increase or decrease of the allowance for inventory obsolescence amounting to approximately USD NIL (2023: NIL) in profit or loss.

(c) Common control
The Group has assessed the impact of a restructuring event involving a change in the pool of investors. Management has exercised judgment in determining that the transaction qualifies as a common control exist, based on an analysis of the ownership structure and control relationships before and after the restructuring. This judgment is predicated on the assumption that the ultimate controlling parties remain substantially the same, with the current pool of investors reflecting continuity of control. The determination involves evaluating the relative voting rights, economic interests, and decision-making authority held by the investors pre- and post-restructuring. This assessment has a significant impact on the consolidation of entities and the recognition of any gain or loss arising from the transaction. The key assumptions underlying this judgment include the stability of the investor pool and the absence of a substantive change in control, which are subject to uncertainty and may require adjustment in future periods if new information becomes available.

(f) The Group determines the lease term of a lease as the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend or to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the relevant options. Management has considered the relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to either exercise the option to extend the lease, or to exercise the option to terminate the lease. Any differences in expectations from the original estimates would impact the carrying amounts of the lease liabilities of the Group.

(b) Trade receivables are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 60 days (June 30, 2024: 30 to 60 days) credit terms.
(c) Impairment for trade receivables is recognized based on the simplified approach using the lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the asset. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. There is no material changes in the credit risk or collectability of the trade receivables as at the respective financial period ended.
The Group considers historical credit loss experience and observable data such as current changes and future forecasts in economic conditions to estimate the amount of expected impairment loss. The methodology and assumptions including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly.
During this process, the probability of non-payment by the trade receivables is adjusted by forward looking information and multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the trade receivables. For trade receivables, which are reported net, such impairments are recorded in a separate impairment account with the loss being recognized within administrative expenses in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. On confirmation that the trade receivable would not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset would be written off against the associated impairment.
Individual assessment of impairment of trade receivables are separately assessed when it is probable that cash due will not be received in full.
Significant judgement is required in determining the probability of default by trade receivables and appropriate forward-looking information.

Contract liabilities represent advances received from customers in respect of unfulfilled services as at the balance sheet date. These will be recognized as revenue when customers obtain or transfer control of the services and performance obligations are satisfied in the next financial year.
(d) Unsatisfied performance obligations
The management is not disclosing the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations as at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 that may be recognized as revenue in the next year as permitted under the IFRS 15 due to the aggregated transaction price allocated to the period of these unsatisfied contracts was one year or less, or are billed based on time incurred. This amount does not include variable consideration, which is subject to significant risk of reversal.

32 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Capital management
The capital structure of the Group mainly comprises share capital and retained earnings. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and meet obligations when they fall due.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. The management considers the cost of capital and the risk associated with each class of capital. The Group may adjust dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares. No changes were made to the objectives, policies, or processes during the financial year or period ended June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024.
The Group is not subject to any other externally imposed capital requirements.
As of the end of reporting date, the management has reviewed and concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

32 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)
(b) Financial risk management
The financial risk management objective of the Group is to optimize value creation for shareholders whilst minimizing the potential adverse impact arising from liquidity and cash flow risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk.
The Directors of the Group review and agree policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are executed by the management of the Group. It is, and has been the policy of the Group, throughout the current and previous financial year that no derivatives shall be undertaken.
The following sections provide details regarding the exposure of the Group to the above mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables.
Concentrations
The Board of Directors determines concentrations of credit risk by on-going monitoring the creditworthiness rating of existing customers and through an on-going review of the trade receivables’ ageing analysis. In monitoring the customers’ credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics. Customers that are graded as “high risk” are placed on a restricted customer list, and future credit sales are made only with approval of the Board of Directors, otherwise payment in advance is required.
The Group does not have any significant credit exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics, except for approximately 42% and 68% of the Group’s trade receivables arose from four and two group of customers respectively, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024.
In addition, the following table sets forth a summary of single customers whom represent 10% or more of the Group’s total revenue:

32 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)
Cash and cash equivalents are placed with credit-worthy financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and therefore credit risk is limited. The Group has adopted procedures in extending credit terms to customers and monitoring its credit risk. Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Before accepting any new customer, the Group carries out research on the credit risk of the new customer and assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed when necessary.
The Group’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:
|
Category |
Description |
Basis of recognizing ECL |
||
|
Low risk |
The counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past-due amounts. |
12-month ECL |
||
|
Doubtful |
There have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition through information developed internally or external resources. |
Lifetime ECL – not credit-impaired |
||
|
In default |
There is evidence indicating the asset is credit-impaired. |
Lifetime ECL – credit-impaired |
||
|
Write-off |
There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Group has no realistic prospect of recovery. |
Amount is written off |
Impairment for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are recognized based on the simplified approach within IFRS 9 using the lifetime expected credit losses.
The table below details the credit quality of the Group’s financial assets as well as maximum exposure to credit risk by credit risk rating grades:

32 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)
At the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognized in the statements of financial position.
(ii) Liquidity risk management
The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all operating, investing and financing needs are met. In executing its liquidity risk management strategy, the Group measures and forecasts its cash commitments and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the activities of the Group.
The Group is actively managing its operating cash flows to ensure all commitments and funding needs are met. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.
The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earlier of the contractual date or when the Company is expected to pay. The table includes both expected interest and principal cash flows.

(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the financial instruments of the Group would fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The exposure of the Group to interest rates risk arises primarily from their floating interest rate borrowings such as variable rate. This policy is managed centrally. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge this risk.

The interest rate profile and sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk have been disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements.
(iv) Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when individual entities within the Group enters into transactions denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. The Group’s policy is, where possible, to allow individual entities within the Group to settle liabilities denominated in their functional currency) with the cash generated from their own operations in that currency. Where individual entities within the Group have liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency (and have insufficient reserves of that currency to settle them), cash already denominated in that currency will, where possible, be transferred from elsewhere within the Group.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the operating entities. Exposure in foreign currency is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group endeavors to keep the net exposure at an acceptable level.
The significant foreign currency profile and sensitivity analysis have been disclosed in the following.

(v) Fair values
Fair value hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
|
Level 1 |
fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|||
|
Level 2 |
fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). |
|||
|
Level 3 |
fair value measurements are those derived from inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) |
The recurring fair value measurements under the relevant fair value hierarchy have been disclosed in the Notes 6 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
Fair value of financial instruments
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value
Fair value measurements that use inputs of different hierarchy levels are categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The management considers that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The fair values of the Group’s borrowings are determined by using the discounted cash flows method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The Group’s non-performance risk as at June 30, 2023 and 2024 was assessed to be insignificant.
The fair values of other classes of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy
During the financial year, there were no assets or liabilities transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 or transfers into or out of Level 3. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers (if any) between levels of fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which they occur.
Valuation policies and procedures
The board of directors oversees the Company’s financial reporting and valuation processes and is responsible for setting and documenting the Company’s valuation policies and procedures.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and Directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that to the extent permitted by law, our Company shall indemnify each existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary and other officer of our Company (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against:
(a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director’s (including alternate director’s), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and
(b) without limitation to paragraph (a), all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning the Company or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.
No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty.
To the extent permitted by the Companies Act, the Company may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer of the Company in respect of any matter identified in the Articles of Association on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by the Company to the extent that the Company is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), secretary or that officer for those legal costs.
The underwriting agreement, the form of which will be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement, provides for indemnification by the underwriter of us and our officers and Directors for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, but only to the extent that such liabilities are caused by information relating to the underwriter furnished to us in writing expressly for use in this registration statement and certain other disclosure documents.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
(a) Exhibits
See Exhibit Index beginning on page II-4 of this registration statement.
The agreements included as exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and (i) were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosure that was made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.
We acknowledge that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, we are responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosure of material information regarding material contractual provisions is required to make the statements in this registration statement not misleading.
(b) Financial Statement Schedules

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
II-2
4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.
5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;
6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the placement method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424.
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
8) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, (i) the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (ii) each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
