CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED

Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this interim report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this interim report.

This interim report, for which the directors of Omnibridge Holdings Limited (the “ Company ” and the “ Directors ”, respectively) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this interim report is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this interim report misleading.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with the IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent auditors, but have been reviewed by the audit committee of the Company (the “ Audit Committee ”).

Management Discussion and Analysis

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

We are a Singapore-based human resources service provider for around 11 years and we started providing human resources services in Hong Kong in 2009. We are principally engaged in the provision of human resources outsourcing services and human resources recruitment services. For human resources outsourcing services, we source and employ suitable candidates that match the job descriptions specified by our clients and then second them to our clients. For human resources recruitment services, we identify, screen, assess and procure qualified candidates to be employed by our clients generally for positions at all levels, including administrative, executive, managerial and professional, to suit our clients’ business needs.

The Group’s competitive strengths include (i) solid track record of providing human resources services to public sector in Singapore; (ii) vast pool of candidates registered within our database; (iii) long-term and stable relationship with our major clients; and (iv) stable and experienced management team.

Looking forward, we will continue to seize opportunities to strengthen our position in the human resources services industry in Singapore by (i) strengthening our market position in the private sector in Singapore through expanding our human resources outsourcing and recruitment services in Singapore ; (ii) enhancing our market penetration in Hong Kong through expanding our human resources recruitment services in Hong Kong ; (iii) enhancing our brand awareness ; and (iv) enhancing our IT system to support our business operations.

With the Group’s experienced management team and reputation in the market, the Directors believe that the Group is well-positioned to compete against our competitors. The Group will pursue the strategies mentioned above to further strengthen our position as an established human resources services provider both in Singapore and in Hong Kong.

Though we opine that the coming years should continue to be challenging for the human resources services sector, the Group remains cautiously optimistic about the outlook of the human resources services industry in Singapore and in Hong Kong. In particular, we have noticed that more and more enterprises are planning to hire their staff through human resources services provider and henceforth our Group considers that more human resources services will be demanded by our existing and/or potential customers.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

Pursuant to code provision A.2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules, the role of chairman and the chief executive should be segregated and should not be performed by the same individual. However, we do not have a separate chairman and chief executive and Mr. Chew currently performs these two roles. Our Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairman and chief executive in the same position has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within our Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning for our Group. Our Board considers that the balance of power and authority for the present arrangement will not be impaired and this structure will enable our Company to make and implement decisions promptly and effectively. Our Board will continue to review and consider splitting the roles of chairman of our Board and chief executive of our Company at a time when it is appropriate and suitable by taking into account the circumstances of our Group as a whole.

Save for the deviation from the code provision of 2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code (the “ CG Code ”). The Company adopted the CG Code contained in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules as its own code of corporate governance and the Board is satisfied that the Company had complied with the code provisions of the CG Code during the six months ended 30 June 2017.
