Notes to the condensed interim financial statements

1 Corporate information

Edition Ltd. ("the Company") is incorporated and domiciled in Singapore. The Company’s shares are publicly traded on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.

These condensed interim financial statements as at and for the 6 months ended 30 June 2025 comprise the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Group"). The primary activities of the Company are that of investment holding and provision of management services. The principal activities of the Group are that of (a) agricultural and related business; and (b) investment holdings.

2 Basis of preparation

The condensed interim financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”) 1-34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Accounting Standards Committee Singapore. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year which were prepared in accordance with SFRS(I)s, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out in Note 2.2. The financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern basis. At the date of these financial statements, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

The condensed interim financial statements are presented in Singapore dollar which is the Company’s functional currency.

2.1 Going concern

The Group has consolidated net liabilities of $3,188,000. The Group incurred a total comprehensive loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company of $822,000 for the 6 months ended 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: $1,084,000). As at 30 June 2025, the Group has net current liabilities of $5,511,000 (31 December 2024: $4,552,000). These conditions indicate the existence of events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. At the date of these financial statements, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due over the next twelve months, having assessed the following measures:

  • The Group is actively looking for a buyer to dispose the land development rights located in Kota Bahru, Kelantan, Malaysia;

  • The net current liabilities position of $5,511,000 consists mainly of amount due to related companies of controlling shareholder of $4,560,000 which the controlling shareholder has extended financial support to the Company, in the event the Company encounters cash shortfall to pay its liabilities over the next twelve months;

  • The controlling shareholder, B&L Group Pte Ltd, has renewed the fully drawn facility which was entered into in 2023, amounting to $3,000,000 at an interest rate of nil% per annum to the maturity date of 24 August 2026;

  • The controlling shareholder, B&L Group Pte Ltd, has renewed the partially drawn facility amount of $1,100,000 that was provided on 12 February 2025 at an interest rate of nil% per annum to the maturity date of 24 August 2026, from the initial maturity date of 24 April 2026;

Page 7 of 24

Edition Ltd.

Company Registration No. 200411873E

  • On 1 August 2025, the controlling shareholder, B&L Group Pte Ltd, has provided a new loan facility of $1,100,000 at an interest rate of nil% per annum, ie at no interest, with maturity date on 24 August 2026;

  • The Group commenced commercial operations on the completed high-technology farm, currently operating two out of the six bays; and

  • The Group continues to explore funding opportunities and including potential further financial support as and when required from the immediate and ultimate holding corporation.

Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. Should the going concern assumption become inappropriate, adjustments may have to be made to:

  • The carrying value of assets to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised at a lower value other than the carrying value;

  • Liabilities to provide for further liabilities that may arise; and

  • Reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current.

No adjustments have been made in the financial statements in respect of these. In carrying out the going concern assessment, significant judgements are involved in estimating the remaining cash commitment of the projects and other operating expenses. Based on the sources of funding indicated above, both the Board and the management are confident that the strategies that will be put in place will improve the financial position of the Group and the Company so as to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months. Having considered the above, the Board is of the view that the Group will be able to meet its working capital commitments for the next 12 months and the Group's financial statements be prepared on a going concern basis.

  • 2.2 New and amended standards adopted by the Group

During the current financial reporting period, the Group and the Company have adopted the following new and amended standards to SFRS(I)s which took effect from the financial year beginning 1 January 2025:

  • Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-21: Lack of Exchangeability

  • 2.3

  • Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the Group has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by the Group in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements, estimates and assumptions in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • Note 2.1 – in carrying out the going concern basis assumption assessment, significant judgements are involved. Actual outcome may differ significantly from assessments.

Page 8 of 24

Edition Ltd. Company Registration No. 200411873E

  • Note 11 – impairment test of property, plant and equipment.

  • Note 14 – impairment of goodwill on investment in associated company.

  • Note 15 – classification and impairment test of land development rights and its fair value determination.

  • Impairment of trade and other receivables.

  • 3 Seasonal operations

The Group's businesses are not affected significantly by seasonal or cyclical factors during the financial period.

  • 4 Segment and revenue information

The Company’s key decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors (“Key Decision Makers”). The Key Decision Makers have determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Key Decision Makers and consider the business from both a geographic and business segment perspective. Geographically, the Key Decision Makers manage and monitor the business in the two primary geographic areas, namely Singapore and Malaysia. From a business segment perspective, the Key Decision Makers separately considers the agriculture business in Singapore.

The agriculture business has been reported separately under the “agricultural segment”. The Group is actively looking for a buyer to dispose of the land development rights. The Group has therefore grouped it with the investment holding segment as they both share similar economic characteristics. The investment holding segment is included under “all other segments”.

11 Property, plant and equipment

During the 6 months ended 30 June 2025, the Group purchased property, plant and equipment with an aggregate cost of $25,000 (30 June 2024: $216,000).

In performing the impairment assessment of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, the recoverable amounts are determined using value-in-use (“VIU”) calculations. Significant judgements are used to estimate the gross margin, weighted average growth rates and the pre-tax discount rates applied in computing the recoverable amounts of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. In making these estimates, management has relied on past performance, its expectation of market developments in Singapore and the industry trend for agriculture. The recoverable amounts of these assets and, where applicable, CGU, have been determined based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell and VIU. The carrying amounts of Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 30 June 2025 are $2,094,000 (31 December 2024: $2,197,000).

Impairment charge recognised for the 6 months ended 30 June 2025 is $nil (30 June 2024: $nil).

Income Statement

During the half-year ended 30 June 2025 (“HY2025”), the Group continued with the sales of produce from our own farm and trading sales of agricultural produce from other farms.

The Group’s revenue for HY2025 decreased to $0.31 million from $0.36 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 (“HY2024”). In HY2025, the Group continued to operate on two bays at the newly completed main farm, together with the temporary farm at the 6-hectare location. Revenue

Page 19 of 24

Edition Ltd. Company Registration No. 200411873E

decreased mainly due to lower take up from our customers and lower sales from lower production output.

Other gains for HY2025 decreased to $14,000 from $233,000 in HY2024 mainly due to an absence of fair value gain on the convertible loan to a non-related party and no interest income charged on the loan to a non-related party due to the conversion of the loan to preference shares in April 2024.

Total expenses for HY2025 decreased by 34% to $1.12 million, from $1.70 million in HY2024. This was mainly due to the following:

  • The decrease in employees compensation to $0.33 million in HY2025 from $0.66 million in HY2024 was mainly due to the Chief Executive Officer forgoing remuneration for April 2024 to June 2024 as compared to forgoing remuneration for January 2025 to June 2025, lower labour cost on lower headcounts in HY2025;

  • Changes in inventories and purchases of inventories in aggregate for HY2025 decreased to $0.08 million from $0.13 million in HY2024 in tandem with decrease in revenue;

  • Amortisation and depreciation for HY2025 decreased by 38% to $0.13 million from $0.21 million in HY2024 mainly due to lower depreciation on lower cost and that arose from recognition of grant income to offset the cost of property, plant and equipment and accumulated impairment on the cost of property, plant and equipment at 31 December 2024;

  • Professional fees for HY2025 increased by 26% to $0.21 million from $0.17 million in HY2024 mainly due to engagement of legal services for final account cost determination in relation to the development of the high-technology farm;

  • Finance costs for HY2025 increased by 68% to $0.05 million from $0.03 million in HY2024 in tandem with increase in bank borrowings in HY2025;

  • Other expenses for HY2025 decreased by 37% to $0.31 million from $0.50 million in HY2024 mainly the lower continuing post-main farm Temporary Occupation Permit (“TOP”) expenses incurred.

  • In HY2025, the Group recognised lower bad debts written off on receivables of less than $1,000 as compared with $0.01 million arising from trade debts and the interest income receivable from Arete M Pte Ltd.

The Group recognised share of loss of associated company of $37,000 in HY2025.

As a result of the above, the Group registered a net loss before tax of $832,000 in HY2025, as compared to a net loss of $1.11 million in HY2024.

In HY2025, the Group received the income tax rebate cash grant of $4,000.

As a result, net loss after tax was $0.83 million in HY2025, as compared to a net loss after tax of $1.11 million in HY2024.

Balance Sheet

Compared to 31 December 2024, the Group's cash and cash equivalents balance has decreased by $0.13 million, from $0.58 million as at 31 December 2024 to $0.45 million as at 30 June 2025. Please refer to the explanation on Statement of Cash Flows below.

Trade and other receivables comprise trade receivables from agricultural produce sales, deposits and prepayments. Trade and other receivables increased by $0.08 million to $0.24 million, from $0.15 million as at 31 December 2024 mainly due to increase in refundable deposits placed with the supplier of electricity as a result of a change in electricity supplier.

Property, plant and equipment decreased from $2.20 million as at 31 December 2024 to $2.09 million as at 30 June 2025. The decrease was mainly due to depreciation, partly offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Page 20 of 24

Edition Ltd. Company Registration No. 200411873E

Trade and other payables increased from $5.60 million as at 31 December 2024 to $5.88 million as at 30 June 2025 mainly due to drawdowns from the borrowing facility from the controlling shareholder.

Bank borrowings increased from $2.05 million as at 31 December 2024 to $2.50 million as at 30 June 2025 due to drawdown of $0.70 million from a borrowing facility from a financial institution, partly offset by repayment of borrowings.

As a result of the above, net liabilities of the Group increased from $2.35 million as at 31 December 2024 to register a net liabilities position of $3.19 million as at 30 June 2025.

Statement of Cash Flows

The net cash outflow from operating activities for HY2025 was mainly due to overheads incurred in the agricultural segment and corporate holding company. Changes in working capital has weakened in HY2025 mainly due to additional refundable deposits placed with an electricity supplier, higher harvested inventory recognised not offset fully by higher sale of inventories. The Group continued to experience net cash used in operations due to high operating expenditures, not yet offset by revenue. Net cash outflow from investing activities was mainly due to purchases of plant and equipment. Net cash inflow from financing activities was mainly due to borrowings from a financial institution and borrowings from controlling shareholder, partly offset by repayment of bank borrowings. As a result of the above, the Group's cash and cash equivalents balance as reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows as at the end of HY2025 was $0.25 million.

4 Where a forecast, or a prospect statement, has been previously disclosed to shareholders, any variance between it and the actual results.

There was no prospect statement or forecast made previously.

5 A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months.

The Group has commenced operations on the main farm at Neo Tiew Harvest Lane since January 2024 and continued into the first half year of 2025. The Group continues to operate the temporary modular farm. Sales of the farm’s produce continued to face competition from lower-priced produce from overseas suppliers. Operating costs also remained high. Amidst this backdrop, the market conditions for the sale of leafy greens are expected to remain challenging. The Group is working on opening up new sales channels and farm-related activities to generate revenue.

In Malaysia, the Group continues to look for property buyers for the land development rights in Kota Bahru, Kelantan.

The capital expenditures and operating losses have drawn on the Group’s financial resources. The Group continues to explore funding opportunities.

The Group's subsidiary, MEOD did not participate in the issue of convertible notes by Wholly Greens Pte Ltd ("Wholly Greens"), which took place in HY2025 .

As at the date of this announcement, the convertible notes have yet to be exercised. If exercised, it may result in a potential dilution of MEOD's current 18% shareholding in Wholly Greens.
