Appendix A
| No. | Shareholder's Questions | Company's Responses |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Audited Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, together with the Directors' Statement and Auditors' Report | ||
| 1. | Shareholder A enquired about the Company's audited financial statements, specifically regarding the segment information on pre-loved luxury goods products categories, and further commented and/or queried on the pre-loved luxury goods sales segment's break-even analysis, and the expansion plan for this segment. | Ms Dian Stefani Sugialam, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company ("Ms Dian" or the "CEO"), responded that the three major categories of pre-loved luxury goods are bags, watches, and other luxury items. |
Ms Dian acknowledged that segment loss of S$0.548 million was approximately 3.1% of the segment revenue of S$17.866 million for FY2025. She shared with shareholders that the current transaction volume in the pre-loved luxury goods segment has yet to reach its optimal level. The Management expects sales volume to further increase, thereby decreasing operating costs as a percentage of revenue, and the Group will be able to achieve break-even in this segment. Management is closely monitoring the segment's performance and will refine its assessment of the sales volume required to achieve break-even as the business continues to scale.
Regarding the expansion plan for the pre-loved luxury goods segment, Ms Dian informed shareholders that the Group expanded its footprint into Vietnam in 2025 and will enter another new market in 2026. The Group has also collaborated with institutions such as pawnshops to reach out to a broader consumer base.
The Management expects that the financial effects of such expansion will be reflected in the Group's first-half financial results for FY2026. |
| 2. | Shareholder A further enquired about the progress of diversification in the consumer electronics sales segment. | Ms Dian replied that the Group has started coffee machine sales (both new and pre-owned units) in Singapore and Thailand. These sales contributed to the Group's consumer electronics segment from the second half of FY2025 onward. |
| 3. | Additionally, Shareholder A enquired about the green protein sales segment, commenting that the cost of sales and the employee benefit expense were about 4.4 times and 2.9 times, respectively, the revenue generated from this segment.
Some shareholders suggested that the Company temporarily halt the green protein segment to focus on getting the pre-loved luxury segment to break even first. | Ms Dian noted the shareholder's concern and explained that the green protein segment remains at a low level of activity as the business undergoes strategic repositioning. She assured the shareholders that the Management has taken the necessary steps to realign the sales strategy and rationalise the business's cost structure.
The Board acknowledged the shareholder's concern and emphasised that they are taking this seriously and have instructed Management to explore various avenues to increase revenue and/or prepare proposals for future plans for the green protein sales segment, though specific timelines for such deliverables were not yet available.
Mr Tay Boon Zhuan, an Independent Director of the Company, shared that the Board has previously visited the green protein operations in Indonesia and observed that the business segment is still at an early stage of development.
The Chairman stated that the Board and the Management |

| | | would internally re-evaluate the green protein business and, if needed, adopt the suggestion to temporarily cease activities in this business segment.
Mr Sugiono Wiyono Sugialam, the Executive Director of the Company, added that green fertiliser would be a potential product of this business segment, which the Company expects to be in demand from new countries surrounding South Asia, and which has been boosted in recent months. The Management is currently working on this business opportunity as well. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 4. | Shareholders continued commenting on various aspects of the financial ratios and disclosures of financial data in the audited financial statements, including, but not limited to, cash runway, equity depletion, impairment of non-trade third-party receivables, increased inventory write-offs, property divestments, and working capital status. | To each of the questions, the Management and the Board explained in detail, and assured the shareholders that they are i) implementing cost-cutting measures and that losses have been narrowing in recent quarters consistently, ii) expanding geographically to address market saturation in the pre-loved luxury goods segment, iii) actively pursuing recovery through ongoing communications and discussions with the third party, and failing which, seeking legal recourse will certainly be considered as an option, iv) focusing on operational optimisation to preserve working capital amid ongoing expansion and operational demands, and v) taking efforts to strengthen internal controls to mitigate all financial, credit and operational business risks going forward, in particular, controls target inventory handling across consumer electronics and pre-loved luxury goods in all operating countries to prevent further write-offs and/or impairment. |
| | Ordinary Resolution 4 - Approval of the payment of Directors' fees of up to S$130,000 for the financial year ending 31 December 2026, to be paid quarterly in arrears | |
| 5. | Shareholder B expressed his expectation that directors' fees should align with tangible business progress and turnaround signs. He commented that there are directors at other listed companies who voluntarily waived their compensation or drew a nominal monthly salary of S$1, for example, Elon Musk of Tesla, Inc. and Sim Wong Hoo of Creative Technology Ltd. | To this, the Chairman clarified that directors' fees are in line with market practice, paid to independent and non-executive directors. As with other SGX-ST listed companies, the payment of directors' fees is not contingent on the profitability of a company. The Board acknowledged the shareholders' concerns and suggestions but highlighted that the examples raised are of executive directors who are also controlling shareholders of their respective companies. The Board, together with the Management, acknowledged that the Group has been loss-making in its last few financial years but committed to continuing efforts on turnaround and cost controls to mitigate losses and, in time, deliver value for shareholders. The Board further noted that shareholders may exercise their voting rights at the Meeting in relation to the resolution tabled. |
