CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors ("the Board"), I am pleased to present the Annual Report of VCPlus Limited ( "VCPlus" or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 ("FY2025").

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

FY2025 was a year of transition and strategic repositioning for the Group. Amid a challenging external environment, particularly within the evolving digital asset and fintech landscape, we remained focused on strengthening our business model and enhancing our long-term strategic positioning.

For FY2025, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately S\$2.5 million, which included impairment loss on intangible assets and goodwill of approximately S\$1.1 million arising from legacy investments. Revenue during the year was affected by non-renewal of subscription for a white label solution for digital asset wallet infrastructure after expiry of contract in March 2025 as well as continued competition in the digital marketing segment. Notwithstanding this, management remains committed to improving cost discipline, strengthening revenue streams, and pursuing sustainable growth opportunities.

The Board notes that the Group reported net current liabilities as at 31 December 2025. Nevertheless, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, supported by ongoing cost optimisation initiatives, continued shareholder support, and the Group's ability to access funding.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FUNDING

During FY2025, the Group successfully raised approximately S\$2.13 million through new share issuances. These capital injections have strengthened the Group's liquidity position and enabled continued investment in its strategic initiatives.

The Board will continue to explore additional funding avenues and strategic partnerships to support the Group's growth and working capital requirements.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

During FY2025, the Group further refined its strategic focus within the fintech ecosystem. Key developments included:

  • Advancing its digital asset and blockchain-related initiatives in alignment with evolving regulatory frameworks. The Board believes that 2026 may mark a significant inflection point for real-world asset ("RWA") tokenisation and remains optimistic about achieving tangible progress in this area;
  • Sharpening its focus on artificial intelligence ("AI") as a core strategic pillar in 2026, with the ambition of positioning the Group as a technology-driven AI company;
  • Leveraging its subsidiary, APEC Solutions Pte. Ltd., to deliver digital transformation solutions while exploring new and scalable revenue streams;
  • Pursuing new growth opportunities, including strategic collaborations and joint ventures, such as AI-driven digital marketing initiatives announced subsequent to the financial year.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

"During FY2025, the Group successfully raised approximately S\$2.13 million through new share issuances. These capital injections have strengthened the Group's liquidity position and enabled continued investment in its strategic initiatives."

The Group also undertook a review of its investment portfolio and rationalised non-core activities to better align resources with its long-term strategic priorities.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

FY2025 also saw changes in management and shareholding structure, reflecting the Group's ongoing transformation and efforts to strengthen its organisational capabilities.

The Board remains committed to upholding strong corporate governance standards and ensuring that the Group is well-positioned to execute its strategy effectively.

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead to FY2026, we remain cautiously optimistic. While macroeconomic uncertainties and industry challenges persist, we are encouraged by:

  • Increasing regulatory clarity in the digital asset space;
  • Continued adoption of fintech solutions and digital transformation across industries; and
  • Emerging opportunities in artificial intelligence and new digital business models.

The Group will continue to focus on strengthening its financial position, achieving operational sustainability, building scalable and commercially viable solutions, and expanding strategic partnerships and revenuegenerating initiatives.

WORDS OF APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to our management and employees for their dedication and resilience during a challenging year of transformation.

We also extend our gratitude to our shareholders, customers, business partners, and advisers for their continued support and confidence in the Group.

As we move forward, the Board remains committed to executing our strategy with discipline and delivering longterm value to our stakeholders.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATION REVIEW

REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME

The Group recorded revenue of S\$0.19 million in FY2025 as compared to S\$0.77 million in FY2024. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to the non-renewal of subscription for a white label solution for digital asset wallet infrastructure after expiry of contract in March 2025 as well as continued competition in the digital marketing segment.

Other income

The Group recorded other income of S\$0.01 million in FY2025, as compared to S\$0.01 million in FY2024.

PROFITABILITY

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses comprised cost of services and sales, depreciation and amortisation expenses, employee benefits expenses, operating lease expenses, other expenses, loss allowance on third party receivables and finance costs.

Total operating expenses decreased in FY2025 as compared to FY2024.

The decrease in total operating expenses was mainly due to:

  • the decrease in cost of services and sales from S\$0.343 million to S\$0.107 million, in line with decrease in revenue.
  • the decrease in employee benefits expenses from S\$0.776 million to S\$0.768 million mainly due to lower employee headcount.
  • the decrease in other expenses from S\$0.520 million to S\$0.467 million mainly due to implementation of cost cutting measures and lower professional fees incurred.
  • partially offset by the increase in finance costs from S\$6,000 to S\$86,000 mainly due to lease-related interest arising from renewal of office lease as well as additional accrual of late finance charges.

The Group also recorded an impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets of S\$1.11 million in FY2025, as compared to S\$1.2 million in FY2024.

The Group incurred an loss for the year of S\$2.508 million in FY2025, compared to loss for the year of S\$2.281 million in FY2024.

FINANCIAL POSITION

As at 31 December 2025, total equity attributable to owners of the Company amounted to S\$0.63 million, comprising share capital of S\$101.63 million, accumulated losses of S\$101.78 million and reserves.

Assets

The Group's total assets decreased by S\$0.6 million from S\$2.18 million as at 31 December 2024 to S\$1.58 million as at 31 December 2025. The decrease in total assets was mainly due to the following:

Property, plant and equipment increased by S\$0.162 millionfrom S\$5,000 to S\$0.167 million mainly due to recognition of right-of-use assets arising from renewal of office lease.

Intangible assets and goodwill decreased by S\$1.034 million from S\$1.892 million to S\$0.858 million mainly due to capitalisation of \$0.109 million of software and impairment loss on goodwill and intellectual property of S\$1.11 million recorded.

Trade and other receivables decreased by S\$0.056 million from S\$0.111 million to S\$0.055 million mainly due to lower sales activities, lower sales renewal as we transit to new business activities.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by S\$0.353 million from S\$0.140 million to S\$0.493 million mainly due to proceeds received from exercise of call option by a shareholder and issue of new subscription shares to two new investors during the year.

Liabilities

Total liabilities of the Group decreased by S\$0.22 million from S\$1.174 million as at 31 December 2024 to S\$0.954 million as at 31 December 2025. The decrease in total liabilities was mainly due to the following;

  • decrease in trade and other payables by S\$0.273 million from S\$1.049 million to S\$0.776 million mainly due to repayment of advance from director.
  • partially offset by recognition of lease liabilities of S\$0.170 million arising from renewal of office lease.

The Group had no borrowings as at 31 December 2025.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group reported a net current liabilities position of S\$0.375 million, which showed improvement as compared to the net current liabilities position of S\$0.857 million as at 31 December 2024.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash used in operating activities

During the financial year, the Group recorded a net cash used in operating activities of S\$1.386 million. The net operating cash outflow was mainly due to operating cash flows before working capital changes of S\$1.142 million and changes in net working capital outflow of S\$0.244 million.

Net cash used in investing activities

The Group recorded a net cash outflow from investing activities mainly due to the purchase of office equipment.

Net cash generated from financing activities

In FY2025, the Group recorded a net cash inflow from financing activities of S\$1.741 million mainly due to the proceeds from issuance of new shares of S\$2.13 million, partially offset by lease repayments and repayment of advances from director.

Due to the above factors, cash and cash equivalents increased from S\$0.140 million to S\$0.493 million.

Accordingly, taking into consideration the nature and scope of the
Group's operations, the NC and Board are of the view that the size
and composition of the Board and Board Committees are effective
for decision making. The NC and the Board also acknowledge that
improvements to Board diversity practices are an on-going process
and that skill-set and core competencies required of the Board may
change over time as the business of the Group develops.
The Non-Executive Directors are kept informed of the Group's
business and the industry the Group operates in. To ensure that the
Non-Executive Directors are well supported by accurate, complete
and timely information, they have unrestricted access to the
management, and have sufficient time and resources to discharge
their oversight functions effectively.
During Board meetings, the management also updates the Directors
on the latest developments of the Group and its future plans.
Forecast financials against budget are also presented to enable the
Directors to assess the performance of the Group.
Whenever necessary, the Independent Directors will meet among
themselves without the presence of management and the chairman
of such meeting will provide feedback to the Board as appropriate.

As the Chairperson, Ms Tang oversees the business and ensures
the effectiveness of the Board. She leads the Board discussions
and ensures that Board meetings are convened when necessary.
She sets the Board's meeting agenda in consultation with the key
management, and where necessary, other members of the Board as
well as the Company Secretary and ensures the quality, quantity and
timeliness of the flow of information between the Board and key
management personnel to facilitate efficient decision-making.
As the CEO of the Company, Ms Tang takes a leading role in
managing the business of the Group and manages the day-to-day
operations, with the assistance of the key management personnel.
She is also responsible for setting the strategic direction of the
Group together with the Board and steering the business of the
Group for future growth and expansion.
As aforementioned, Ms Tang assumes both the roles of the
Chairperson and CEO. The Company believes that a single
leadership structure will facilitate the decision-making process
in relation to business opportunities and operational matters.
The Board is of the opinion that there is no need to separate the
two roles as at the date of this Annual Report after taking into
consideration:

The NC is responsible for examining the size and composition of the
Board and Board Committees. The composition of the Board and
Board Committees is reviewed on an annual basis by the NC and
the Board. Having considered the scope and nature of the Group's
businesses and the requirements of the business, the Board, in

of the Board Committees effectively serve the Group and provide
sufficient diversity without interfering with efficient decision

Provision
Code Description Company's compliance or explanation
Provision 4.5 The Board has not capped the maximum number of listed company
board representations each Director may hold.
The NC is of the view that the effectiveness of each of the Directors
is best assessed by a qualitative assessment of the Director's
competencies, commitment, contributions and performance,
after taking into account his or her other listed company board
directorships and other principal commitments. The NC also
believes that it is for each Director to assess his or her own capacity
and ability to undertake other obligations or commitments together
with serving on the Board effectively. The NC does not wish to
omit from consideration outstanding individuals who, despite
the demands on their time, have the capacity to participate and
contribute as members of the Board.
The factors considered in assessing the capacity of Directors include
the following:
expected and/or competing time commitments of Directors;
l
geographical location of Directors;
l
size and composition of the Board; and
l
nature and scope of the Group's operations and size.

The NC reviews the performance of the Directors as well as their
contributions to the Board on an annual basis. After conducting
reviews, the NC is satisfied that the Directors have been able to
devote adequate time and attention to the affairs of the Company
and they were able to fulfil their duties as directors of the Company
in FY2025.
As at the date of the report, the Company does not have any

annually. As part of the review process, the NC requires the
Independent Directors to complete and execute declaration forms
in relation to their independence. These declaration forms are drawn
up based on the guidelines in the Code. The NC has reviewed the
declaration form executed by each of the Independent Directors,
and, pursuant to its review, the NC is of the view that Mr Ong
Choon Yi, Mr Lam Kwong Fai and Prof. Wu Wei are independent in
the Independent Director's judgement. Accordingly, the Board has identified each of the Independent
Directors to be independent, after determining, taking into account
the views of the NC, whether the Director is independent in
character and judgement and whether there are any relationships
or circumstances which are likely to affect, or could appear to affect,
There are no Directors who are deemed independent by the Board,
notwithstanding the existence of a relationship as stated in the
Code that would otherwise deem him not to be independent.
None of the Independent Directors have served on the Board for
more than nine years, which is the limit that SGX-ST has introduced
on the tenure of independent directors of listed companies.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT
Risk Management and Internal Controls
Principle 9
Provision 9.1
The Board is responsible
for the governance of
risk and ensures that
management maintains
a sound system of
risk management and
internal controls, to
safeguard the interests
of the company and its
shareholders.
The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the governance
of risks and the overall internal control framework but recognises
that no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all
errors and irregularities, as a system is designed to manage rather
than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objective and
can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against
material misstatements or loss.
Risk assessment and evaluation have become an essential part of
the business planning and monitoring process. Having identified
the risks to the achievement of the Group's strategic objectives,
each business unit is required to document the mitigating actions
in place and/or proposed in respect of each significant risk. Risk
awareness and ownership of risk treatments are also continuously
fostered across the organisation.
The Board reviews the risk management processes and framework,
overseeing the formulation, update and maintenance of an
adequate and effective risk management and internal control
systems annually. The Company has engaged Yang Lee & Associates
("IA" or "YLA") as its outsourced internal auditors in 2025, to assist
the AC to independently evaluate and improve the effectiveness of
the system of internal controls using a risk-based approach.
Principle/
Provision
Code Description Company's compliance or explanation
The role of the outsourced internal audit function is to provide
independent and objective reports on the organisation's key
internal controls to the AC. The outsourced internal auditor
performed its work in accordance with the International Professional
Practices Framework, an internationally recognised framework
issued by the Institute of Internal Auditors Singapore. The
outsourced internal auditor reports directly to the AC on a regular
basis during the AC meeting.
Internal audits include evaluation of controls relating to
significant risks. Such audits also ensure that instituted controls
are appropriate, effectively applied and achieve acceptable risk
exposures consistent with the Company's risk management and
internal control framework. The outsourced internal auditor
would advise management on areas for improvement and would
subsequently carry out follow-up review on the status to which
its recommendations have been implemented. The internal
audit reports which contained the relevant audit findings and
recommendations are submitted to the AC for deliberation. The AC
meets with the outsourced internal auditor at least once a year to
review the outsourced internal audit function and to assure itself of
the soundness of the internal control system.
The IA prepares the internal audit plan taking into consideration the
risks identified which is approved by the AC, on an annual basis.
Provision 9.2 Following the cessation of Mr Chen Renfeng as Financial Controller
on 14 January 2026, the Company had employed a candidate who
is intended to be appointed as Financial Controller if he successfully
completes his probation. At the date of this annual report, such
appointment has not been confirmed by the Board. The Board
acknowledges that the role of an FC is integral to the overall system
of internal controls and seeks to confirm the appointment of a
Financial Controller in a timely manner.
The Board notes that the candidate has declined to provide
an assurance that a) the financial records have been properly
maintained and the financial statements give a true and fair view
of the Group's operations and finances, and b) the Group's risk
management and internal control systems in place are adequate
and effective in addressing the material risks of the Group in its
current business environment including financial, operational,
compliance and information technology risk.
The Board finds the position of the candidate difficult to accept
but have proceeded to rely on alternative methods to ascertain
whether the Company's internal controls (including financial,
operational, compliance and information technology controls) and
risk management systems were adequate and effective in FY2025.
Principle/
Provision
Code Description Company's compliance or explanation
The Board has considered that the role of the FC has been in
constant transition in FY2025 and the work normally expected
of the FC has been largely assumed by the Executive Chairperson
and CEO with the support of the finance team. In the absence of a
stable FC, the finance team is currently supported by the Company's
former Financial Controller, Mr Wong Yew Cheok who is working
on a consultancy basis. The Board has also installed one of the
independent directors as a bank signatory as an additional control
measure.
The Executive Chairperson and CEO, have provided the assurance
that a) the financial records have been properly maintained and
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's
operations and finances, and b) the Group's risk management and
internal control systems in place are adequate and effective in
addressing the material risks of the Group in its current business
environment including financial, operational, compliance and
information technology risks.
Save for the need to appoint a suitable FC to ensure the effective
implementation of the Company's risk management and internal
control systems, the Board have noted that the management
maintains an acceptable system of risk management and internal
controls to safeguard the interests of the Company and its
shareholders.

by the AC, where employees of the Company may, in confidence,
raise concerns about possible corporate improprieties in matters of
financial reporting or other matters by submitting a whistle blowing
report via email to [email protected] or by mail to the
Chairman of the AC at 223 Mountbatten Road, #03-10 Singapore
398008.
Details of the whistle-blowing policy and arrangements have been
made available to all employees. It has a well-defined process which
ensures independent investigation of issues/concerns raised and
appropriate follow-up action to be taken. The AC will assess whether
action or review is required and it is responsible for investigating
and coordinating corrective action. All reports shall be handled
with confidentiality, except where necessary or appropriate for the
purpose to conduct investigation and to take remedial action, in
accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. The identity
of all whistle-blowers will be kept confidential so long as it does
not hinder the investigation. Anonymous reports are difficult to

subject to severity, credibility and verification from other sources.
The Company will not retaliate against a whistle-blower, and the
whistleblower will be protected against detrimental or unfair
treatment for whistleblowing in good faith. No person should suffer
reprisal as a result of reporting a genuine concern.
No whistle-blowing report or complaint was received in FY2025.
The AC has explicit authority to investigate any matter within its
terms of reference. It has full access to, and the co-operation of the
management and full discretion to invite any Executive Director
or key management personnel to attend its meetings. The AC has
adequate resources, including access to external consultants and
auditors, to enable it to discharge its responsibilities properly.

Provision 10.5 Annually, the AC meets (physically or via electronic means)
separately with the external auditor ("EA") and the IA without the
presence of management. The AC had met the EA and IA without
the presence of management in FY2025.
The audit fees and audit related services fees paid or payable to
the EA for FY2025 amounted to S\$80,000 and S\$1,000, respectively.
There were no non-audit services rendered during FY2025. The AC,
having reviewed the scope and value of the audit services provided
by the external auditor, is satisfied that the independence and
objectivity of the external auditor is not impaired. Accordingly, the
AC recommended re-appointment of Nexia Singapore PAC as the
external auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2026 at
the forthcoming AGM.
Provision 10.4 During FY2025, the AC reviewed the reports submitted by IA
relating to the audits conducted to assess the adequacy and the
effectiveness of the Group's risk management and the internal
control systems put in place, including financial, operational,
compliance and information technology controls. Any material
non-compliance or lapses in internal controls together with
recommendation for improvement are reported to the AC. A
copy of the report is also issued to the relevant department for
its follow-up action. The timely and proper implementation of
all required corrective, preventive or improvement measures
are closely monitored. The AC is satisfied that IA is adequately
qualified (given, inter alia, its adherence to standards set by
internationally recognised professional bodies) and resourced
and has the appropriate standing in the Company to discharge its
duties effectively. The internal audit function has unfettered access
to all the Company's documents, records, properties and personnel,
including the AC.

1204(10) Confirmation of
Adequacy of Internal
Controls
Following the cessation of Mr Chen Renfeng as Financial Controller
on 14 January 2026, the Company had employed a candidate who
is intended to be appointed as Financial Controller if he successfully
completes his probation. At the date of this annual report, such
appointment has not been confirmed by the Board. The Board
acknowledges that the role of an FC is integral to the overall system
of internal controls and seeks to confirm the appointment of a
Financial Controller in a timely manner.
The Board notes that the candidate has declined to provide
an assurance
that a) the financial records have been properly
maintained and the financial statements give a true and fair view
of the Group's operations and finances, and b) the Group's risk
management and internal control systems in place are adequate
and effective in addressing the material risks of the Group in its
current business environment including financial, operational,
compliance and information technology risk.
The Board finds the position of the candidate difficult to accept
but have proceeded to rely on alternative methods to ascertain
whether the Company's internal controls (including financial,
operational, compliance and information technology controls) and
risk management systems were adequate and effective in FY2025.
The Board has considered that the role of the FC has been in constant
transition in FY2025 and the work normally expected of the FC has
been largely assumed by the Executive Chairperson and CEO with the
support of the finance team. In the absence of a stable FC, the finance
team is currently supported by the Company's former Financial
Controller, Mr Wong Yew Cheok who is working on a consultancy
basis. The Board has also installed one of the independent directors as
a bank signatory as an additional control measure.
The Executive Chairperson and CEO, have provided the assurance
that a) the financial records have been properly maintained and
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's
operations and finances, and b) the Group's risk management and
internal control systems in place are adequate and effective in
addressing the material risks of the Group in its current business
environment including financial, operational, compliance and
information technology risks.
The Board have considered and accepts the alternative assurance as
provided by the Executive Chairperson and CEO.
Based on the above, the internal controls established and
maintained by the Group, work performed by the internal and
external auditors, and reviews performed by the AC and the Board;
and save for the need to appoint a suitable FC to ensure the
effective implementation of the Company's risk management and
internal control systems, the Board, with the concurrence of the
AC, is of the view that the Company's internal controls (including
financial, operational, compliance and information technology
controls) and risk management systems were adequate and
effective in FY2025.

Performance Share Plan ("PSP")

Pursuant to an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 22 September 2015, the PSP was established. The PSP had a duration of ten (10) years and has since expired in 2025. The PSP has not been renewed.

The PSP was administered by the Remuneration Committee, which was vested with such powers and duties as conferred by the Board. A member of the Remuneration Committee who was also a participant of the PSP was not involved in its deliberation in respect of the Awards granted or to be granted to him.

The members of the Remuneration Committee as at the date of this statement are:

Ong Choon Yi (Chairman) Lam Kwong Fai Professor Wu Wei

The salient features of the PSP were as follows:

  • (a) to foster an ownership culture within our Group which aligns the interests of our employees with the interests of shareholders;
  • (b) to motivate participants of the PSP to achieve our key financial and operational goals; and
  • (c) to ensure that total employee remuneration remain competitive to attract and retain employees with the requisite skills in line with the Group's strategic objectives.

A summary of the Rules of the PSP when it was in force is set out below:

Participants

Group Executives who have attained the age of 21 years and hold such rank as may be designated by the Remuneration Committee from time to time shall be eligible to participate in the PSP.

Controlling shareholders of the Company or associates of such controlling shareholders who meet the criteria above are also eligible to participate in the PSP if their participation and awards are approved by independent shareholders in separate resolutions for each such person and for each such award.

The selection of a participant and the number of Shares which are the subject of each Award to be granted to a participant in accordance with the PSP shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the Remuneration Committee, which shall take into account criteria such as his rank, job performance and potential for future development, his contribution to the success and development of the Group and, if applicable, the extent of effort to achieve the performance target(s) within the performance period.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

5. Share options and share plans (continued)

Performance Share Plan ("PSP") (continued)

Size of PSP

The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards granted under the PSP, when aggregated with the aggregate number of Shares over which options are granted under any other share option schemes of the Company, shall not exceed 15.0% of the total number issued Shares (excluding Shares held by the Company as treasury shares) from time to time.

Maximum Entitlements

Subject to the following, the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted under the PSP shall be determined by the Remuneration Committee:

  • (a) the aggregate number of shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the PSP to participants who are controlling shareholders and their associates shall not exceed 25.0% of the Shares available under the PSP; and
  • (b) the number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the PSP to each participant who is a controlling shareholder or his associate shall not exceed 10.0% of the Shares available under the PSP.

Awards

Awards represent the right of a participant to receive fully paid Shares free of charge, provided that certain prescribed performance targets (if any) are met and upon expiry of the prescribed performance period.

Shares which are allotted and issued or transferred to a participant pursuant to the release of an Award shall not be transferred, charged, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, during a specified period (as prescribed by the Remuneration Committee in the award letter), except to the extent approved by the Remuneration Committee.

Details of Awards

The Remuneration Committee shall decide, in relation to each Award to be granted to a participant:

  • (a) the date on which the Award is to be granted;
  • (b) the number of Shares which are the subject of the Award;
  • (c) the performance target(s) and the performance period during which such performance target(s) are to be satisfied, if any;
  • (d) the extent to which Shares, which are the subject of that Award, shall be released on each prescribed performance target(s) being satisfied (whether fully or partially) or exceeded or not being satisfied, as the case may be, at the end of the performance period; and
  • (e) any other condition which the Remuneration Committee may determine in relation to that Award.

5. Share options and share plans (continued)

Performance Share Plan ("PSP") (continued)

Timing of Awards

While the Remuneration Committee has the discretion to grant Awards at any time in the year, it is currently anticipated that Awards would in general be made once a year. An Award letter confirming the Award and specifying, inter alia, the number of shares which are the subject of the Award, the prescribed performance target(s), the performance period during which the prescribed performance target(s) are to be attained or fulfilled and the schedule setting out the extent to which Shares will be released on satisfaction of the prescribed performance target(s), will be sent to each participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the making of an Award.

Vesting of Awards

Subject to the applicable laws, the Company will deliver Shares to participants upon vesting of their Awards by way of either an issue of new Shares; or a transfer of Shares then held by the Company in treasury.

In determining whether to issue new Shares to participants upon vesting of their Awards, the Company will take into account factors such as, but not limited to, the number of Shares to be delivered, the prevailing market price of the Shares and the cost to the Company of issuing new Shares or delivering existing Shares.

Termination of Awards

Special provisions in the rules of the PSP dealing with the lapse or earlier vesting of Awards apply in circumstances which include the termination of the participant's employment, the bankruptcy of the participant and the winding-up of the Company.

Rights of Shares Arising

New Shares allotted and issued and existing Shares procured by the Company for transfer on the release of an Award shall be eligible for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of the then existing Shares, the record date for which is on or after the relevant date of issue or, as the case may be, delivery, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue.

Duration of PSP

The PSP shall continue in force at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, subject to a maximum period of 10 years commencing on the date on which the PSP is adopted by the Company in general meeting, provided always that the PSP may continue beyond the above stipulated period with the approval of shareholders in general meeting and of any relevant authorities which may then be required.

Notwithstanding the expiry or termination of the PSP, any Awards made to participants prior to such expiry or termination will continue to remain valid.

Abstention from Voting

Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the PSP are to abstain from voting on any shareholders' resolution relating to the PSP and should not accept nominations as proxy or otherwise for voting unless specific instructions have been given in the proxy form on how the vote is to be casted.

At the end of the financial year, none of the Directors of the Company had any interests pursuant to the PSP.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

TO THE MEMBERS OF VCPLUS LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of VCPlus Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1967 (the "Act") and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)s") so as to give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group and the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025 and of the consolidated financial performance, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing ("SSAs"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority ("ACRA") Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities ("ACRA Code"), as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to audits of the financial statements of public interest entities in Singapore. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 4 to the financial statements, which indicates that, for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Group incurred a loss for the year of S\$2,508,000 (2024: S\$2,281,000) and recorded net cash used in operating activities of S\$1,386,000 (2024: S\$958,000). As at 31 December 2025, the Group and the Company have net current liabilities of S\$375,000 and S\$490,000 (2024: S\$857,000 and S\$1,043,000) respectively. These conditions and events indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as going concerns.

The ability of the Group and the Company to continue as going concerns is dependent on the additional funding from investors and financial support from a director, as and when required, to support their cash flows needs and ensure the continuity of operations, as further disclosed in Note 4, to enable the Group and the Company to meet their liabilities as and when they fall due. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in the audit
Valuation of investment in subsidiaries
We refer to Note 2.3(b)(ii), Note 3.6, and Note 7 to the
consolidated financial statements.
As at 31 December 2025, the carrying amount of the
Company's investment in subsidiaries amounted to
S\$1.03 million, net of accumulated impairment loss of
S\$6.13 million, representing approximately 65% of the
Company's total assets.
The Company's subsidiaries, APEC Solutions Pte. Ltd,
and Custody Plus Pte. Ltd., incurred losses during the
financial year, which are indicators of impairment in
the investments in subsidiaries.
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs to which these
investments relate were determined based on higher
of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use
calculations.
During the current financial year, the Company
recognised an impairment loss on investment in
subsidiaries amounting to S\$1.47 million in profit or
loss.
The determination of recoverable amounts involves
significant judgement and estimation, including key
assumptions such as forecast revenue growth, profit
margins and discount rates.
These assumptions involve a high degree of

in
these
assumptions may result in changes to the recoverable
amount of the CGUs. Accordingly, we determined this
as a key audit matter.

TO THE MEMBERS OF VCPLUS LIMITED

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and SFRS(I)s, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The directors' responsibilities include overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • l Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • l Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • l Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

TO THE MEMBERS OF VCPLUS LIMITED

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued)

  • l Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • l Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • l Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Chan Rouh Ting.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.

1. General corporate information

VCPlus Limited (the "Company") is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Singapore. The registered office and principal place of business is 223 Mountbatten Road #03-10, Singapore 398008.

The Company is listed on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST"). The registration number of the Company is 201531549N.

The principal activity of the Company is that of an investment holding company. The principal activities of the significant subsidiaries are set out in Note 7 to the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 were approved and authorised for issue with a resolution of the Board of Directors on the date of the Directors' Statement.

2. Basis of preparation

2.1 Statement of compliance and basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)s") and the provisions of the Companies Act 1967 (Singapore). The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below and on a going concern basis as referred to in Note 4 to the financial statements.

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company and subsidiaries is Singapore Dollar ("S\$"), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of the financial position of the Company are presented in S\$, which is the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in S\$ have been rounded to the nearest thousand ("S\$'000"), unless otherwise stated.

2.3 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with SFRS(I)s requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the future, including climate-related risks and opportunities that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are consistent with the Group's risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. 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.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

2.3 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

(a) Critical judgements made in applying the accounting policies

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements, management is of the opinion that there are no significant judgements made in applying accounting policies and estimates that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

(b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses within the next financial year are discussed below.

(i) Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill

Management performed impairment tests on intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the accounting policy as disclosed in Note 3.4, Note 3.5 and Note 3.6 to the financial statements. The recoverable amounts of the allocated cash-generating units have been determined based on the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions which involve significant judgements. Changes to the estimates and assumptions will result in changes in the carrying amount of intangible assets and goodwill recognised at the end of the reporting period.

The key assumptions for the determination of recoverable value, based on fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use calculations, require the use of estimates and assumptions, including future growth rates, future profit margins and the discount rates applied. Expected future cash flows are estimated using industry trends, general market and economic conditions, with reference to the historical results.

During the current financial year, the Group recognised an impairment loss on intangible assets and goodwill amounting to S\$1.11 million (2024: S\$1.20 million) in the consolidated financial statements. The carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill are disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements.

(ii) Impairment of investments in subsidiaries

Management performed an impairment test on investments in subsidiaries in accordance with the accounting policy as disclosed in the Note 3.6 to the financial statements. The recoverable amounts of the allocated cash-generating units have been determined based on the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions which involve significant judgements. Changes to the estimates and assumptions will result in changes in the carrying amount of the Company's investments in subsidiaries at the end of the reporting period.

During the current financial year, the Company recognised an impairment loss amounting to S\$1.47 million (2024: S\$1.96 million) to profit or loss. The carrying amounts of investments in subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 7 to the financial statements.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 2.4 on the new standards and amendments which address changes in accounting policies.

3.1 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the end of the reporting period.

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group companies have control. The Group companies controls an entity if the Group has power over the investee, exposure to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power to affect those variable returns. The Group will re-assess whether or not it controls an investee whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides an impairment indicator of the transferred asset. Accounting policies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency within the policies adopted by the Group.

With the exception of business combinations involving entities under common control, acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable asset is recorded as goodwill on the statement of financial position.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether an integrated set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create output. The Group has an option to apply a "fair value concentration test" that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The concentration test can be applied on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable assets or group of similar identifiable assets. If the test is met, the set of activities and assets is determined not to be a business and no further assessment is needed. If the test is not met, or if the Group elects not to apply the test, a detailed assessment must be performed applying the normal requirements in SFRS(I) 3, Business Combinations.

Acquisition related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interests' share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.1 Basis of consolidation (continued)

Non-controlling interests represents the equity in subsidiaries which is not attributable directly or indirectly to the equity owners of the parent. They are shown separately in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position of the Group. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Company. Any difference between the carrying amounts of the noncontrolling interests and the value of consideration paid or received is recognised in other reserves, within equity attributable to the owners of the Company.

3.2 Subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company's statement of financial position. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss.

3.3 Property, plant and equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses where the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be lower than its carrying amount.

The cost includes its purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent expenditure on an item of property, plant and equipment is added to the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the depreciable amounts of the property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings (Office premises) 1-3 years
Office equipment 3 years
Renovation 3 years

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the profit or loss in the year of disposal.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.4 Goodwill

The excess of the aggregation of consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and fair value at the date of acquisition of any previous equity interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is initially recognised as goodwill in the consolidated financial statements. Subsequently, goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or when circumstances change, indicating that goodwill may be impaired. If the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities exceeds the consideration transferred and the non-controlling interests in the acquiree, the Group will reassess whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any excess thereafter is recognised as an income in the profit or loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units. If the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

3.5 Intangible assets excluding goodwill

Intellectual property, unfinished contracts and customised software are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Intellectual property is amortised to profit or loss using the straight-line method over 10 years. Unfinished contracts are amortised to profit or loss over the contractual periods. Costs incurred for acquisition of customised software, whose benefits extend over a period of more than one year, are being capitalised and amortised over the contractual periods when in operational use.

3.6 Impairment of non-financial assets excluding goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the value-in-use.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.7 Financial assets

(a) Classification and measurement

The Group classifies its financial assets at amortised costs, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the Group's business model for managing the financial assets as well as the contractual terms of the cash flows of the financial assets. The Group reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

At initial and subsequent recognition

The Group's debt instruments which mainly comprised of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables are measured at amortised costs. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses, if any. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

(b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises loss allowances from expected credit losses ("ECLs") on financial assets measured at amortised cost. Loss allowances of the Group are measured on either of 12-month ECLs resulting from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date or lifetime ECLs resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

The Group applies the simplified approach and records lifetime ECLs on all trade receivables. The simplified approach requires the loss allowance to be measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

The Group applies the general approach to provide for ECLs on all other financial instruments. Under the general approach, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs at initial recognition. At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment and includes forward-looking information.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.7 Financial assets (continued)

(b) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

If credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition or if the credit quality of the financial instruments improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs. The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

ECLs are probability-weighted estimates of credit losses. Credit losses are measured at the present value of all cash shortfalls, which is the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full. The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group's recovery procedures, taking into account legal service where appropriate. Any recoveries are recognised in the profit or loss.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes significant financial difficulty of a debtor, the probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant delay in payments. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amounts of these assets.

(c) Recognition and de-recognition

The Group recognises a financial asset when, and only when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

3.8 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Interest-bearing payables are recognised initially at cost less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing payables are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.9 Leases – when the Group is the lessee

At the inception of the contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease. A contract 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. Reassessment is only required when the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

For contract that contains both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease and non-lease component. The Group does not separate lease and non-lease component, if any, for all leases and account these as one single lease component.

The Group recognises right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities at the date which the underlying assets become available for use. ROU assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payment made at or before the commencement dates, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. Any initial cost that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are added to the carrying amount of the ROU assets. ROU asset is depreciated using the straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The Group has elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. Lease payment relating to these leases are expensed to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets are presented within "Property, plant and equipment" in the statements of financial position.

The initial measurement of lease liabilities is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the implicit rate in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined. If the rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payment included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments (including in substance fixed payment), less any lease incentive receivables. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, and are remeasured when there is a change in the Group's assessment of whether it will exercise lease extension and termination option, or there is a modification to the lease terms. Where lease liabilities are remeasured, corresponding adjustments are made against the ROU assets. If the carrying amount of the ROU assets have been reduced to zero, the adjustments are recorded in the profit or loss.

3.10 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sales of goods or rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.

Control of the goods or services is transferred over time if the Group's performance: (i) provides all the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer; (ii) creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or (iii) 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.

If control of the goods or services transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods or services.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.11 Income tax

Current income tax for current and prior years is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period in the countries where the Group operates and generates income. The Group periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is recognised in the profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred income tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

3.12 Employee benefits

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expenses in profit or loss in the same financial year as the employment that gives rise to the contributions.

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual is made for estimated liability for unutilised annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

Equity-settled share-based payment

The Group operates a Performance Share Plan ("PSP") which allows it to issue equity-settled sharebased payments to selected key management personnel and employees of the Group. For equity-settled share-based payment, the fair value of the services received is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period during which the executives become unconditionally entitled to the equity instrument. The fair value of the services is determined by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date.

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date reflects the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that financial year.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of equity instrument, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.13 Foreign currency transactions and translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the respective functional currencies of the companies in the Group at the exchange rates prevailing at the time the transactions are entered into. Currency translation differences arising from settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period are recognised in the profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of transactions. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of those subsidiaries whose functional currency are not Singapore Dollar (i.e. "foreign entities") have been translated to Singapore Dollar ("S\$"), the presentation currency of the Company, as follows:

  • l assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates approximating those prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
  • l share capital and reserves are translated at historical exchange rate; and
  • l income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period (unless the average rate 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).

Exchange differences arising from the above translations are recognised in other comprehensive income and these are accumulated in currency translation reserve within equity. Such cumulative translation differences are reclassified from equity to the profit or loss in the period in which the foreign entity is disposed of. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investments in foreign entities (including monetary items that in substance form part of the net investments in foreign entities) are recognised in other comprehensive income.

3.14 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Group Chief Executive Officer who makes strategic decisions.

3.15 Related party transactions

A party is related to an entity if:

  • (a) A person or a close member of that person's family is related to the Company if that person:
  • (i) Has control or joint control over the Company;
  • (ii) Has significant influence over the Company; or
  • (iii) Is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of parent of the Company.

  • (vi) The Group will continue to evaluate various strategies to obtain alternative sources of financing where necessary to enable the Group to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

4. Going concern assumptions (continued)

In the event that the Group and the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Group and the Company may be unable to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which could differ significantly from the amounts at which they are currently recorded in the statements of financial position. In addition, the Group and the Company may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. No such adjustments have been made to these financial statements.

Unfinished contracts have been fully impaired and amortised in the previous financial years. The software for Custody Plus business will commence amortisation when customisation is completed and in operational use. The Group received the full capital markets services license from Monetary Authority of Singapore ("MAS") in March 2023.

Goodwill and Intellectual Property

Goodwill arose from the acquisition of APEC Solutions Pte. Ltd. ("APEC Solutions") in year 2021.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or when circumstances change, indicating that goodwill will be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cashgenerating units ("CGU"). The recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The recoverable amounts of the allocated CGU have been determined based on value-in-use calculations.

The value-in-use calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions which involve significant judgement. Changes in the estimates and assumptions will result in changes in the carrying amount of goodwill recognised at the end of the reporting period.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

6. Intangible assets and goodwill (continued)

Goodwill and Intellectual Property (continued)

The recoverable amount of the CGU are determined from value-in-use calculations based on cash flow forecasts from financial budgets approved by management for the next 5 years and projection to terminal year. Management takes into consideration the existing sales contracts secured, strategic plans of APEC Solutions and the overall future business outlook. The key assumptions used in the cash flow projections are as follows:

Group
2025 2024
% %
Pre-tax discount rate 17.0 13.4
Average revenue growth rate 3.0 16.0
Terminal growth rate 3.0 3.0

Management estimates discount rate that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specific to the CGU. Revenue and terminal growth rates were projected based on historical growth, past experience and management's best estimation of future business outlook. The terminal growth rate is used to extrapolate budgeted cash flows to terminal year.

During the financial year, the value-in-use calculation indicated that the recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount of the CGU. Accordingly, an impairment loss on goodwill and intellectual property amounting to S\$1.11 million (2024: S\$1.20 million) has been recognised in profit or loss, resulting in the full impairment of these assets.

As goodwill and intellectual property have been fully impaired as at the reporting date, sensitivity analysis for key assumptions has not been presented, as reasonably possible changes in those assumptions would not give rise to any further impairment loss to be recognised on these assets.

Software

Management assessed that the recoverable value of the CGUs as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use in accordance with SFRS(I) 1-36, using a replacement cost approach. Where fair value less costs of disposal is considered, the measurement falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as it is derived from unobservable inputs, including estimated replacement costs and adjustments for functional, economic and technological obsolescence.

The assessment involved significant judgement, including assumptions on estimated replacement costs. Management has also considered its intention to extend the existing licence period of the software to maximise its functionality, which supports the continued use and service potential of the assets.

Given the estimation uncertainty, changes in these assumptions could materially impact the recoverable amount. Management performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions and noted that a reasonably possible increase of 5% change in the replacement cost would result in an impairment loss of about S\$50,000.

(1) Audited by Nexia Singapore PAC

(ii) Impairment assessment on subsidiaries in 2025 and 2024

During the financial year, the Company recorded impairment loss on investments in subsidiaries amounting to S\$1,470,000 (2024: S\$1,960,000), as the recoverable amounts, determined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use, were lower than their carrying amounts. The value-in-use calculations were based on cash flow forecasts prepared by management.

The determination of recoverable amounts involve significant judgements and is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as it is derived from unobservable inputs, including management's estimates of future cash flows and discount rates.

As the investment in APEC Solutions Pte. Ltd has been fully impaired as at the reporting date, sensitivity analysis for key assumptions has not been presented, as reasonably possible changes in these assumptions would not result in any additional impairment loss being recognised (2024: impairment loss would increase by approximately S\$218,900).

For investment in Custody Plus Pte. Ltd, a reasonably possible increase of 5% in the obsolescence adjustments, with all other assumptions held constant, would not result in any additional impairment loss being recognised in the profit or loss.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

(iii) Additional investment in Custody Plus Pte. Ltd.

During the financial year, the Company increased its capital in the investment in Custody Plus Pte. Ltd. amounting to S\$150,000 (2024: S\$26,376) through a cash capital contribution to support the subsidiary's business development and growth in the custodian business segment.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Group has disaggregated revenue into various categories which is intended to (a) depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic data; and (b) enable users to understand the relationship with revenue segment information provided to the financial statements.

The Group's revenue from contracts with customers can be disaggregated as:

(i) Advisory, consultancy, management and IT management services and Provision of design, development and maintenance of software

Revenue is recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is measured progressively based on the work performed during the contract period. The Group bills the customer in accordance with the terms of the contract. Unbilled receivables represent the Group's unconditional rights to consideration for services performed but not yet billed as at reporting date. Deferred revenue is recognised when the Group has yet to satisfy its performance obligations under the contract but have received advance payments from the customer. There is no element of significant financing component in the Group's revenue transactions as customers are required to pay within a credit term of 30 to 90 days.

(ii) Sale of goods

Revenue earned from sale of goods and seminars are recognised at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring promised goods or services to the customers. The Company purchased its goods from third parties. There is no element of significant financing component in the Group's revenue transactions as customers are required to pay within a credit term of 30 to 90 days.

(704)

As at 31 December 2025, the Group has unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances of approximately S\$1,078,000 (2024: S\$705,000). These tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances do not expire and can be carried forward to offset against future taxable profits and subject to compliance with tax regulations in Singapore.

These deferred tax assets have not been recognised as it is not certain whether future taxable profits will be available against which the Group can utilise these benefits. Accordingly, these deferred tax assets have not been recognised in the financial statements in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 3.11 to the financial statements.

In December 2024, Singapore enacted the Pillar Two legislation and implemented the Income Inclusion Rule ("IIR") and a Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax ("DTT"), effective from 1 January 2025. FRS 12 Income Taxes provides a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting for the top-up tax that may arise from the jurisdictional adoption of the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and require disclosures about the Pillar Two tax exposures. The mandatory exemption is effective immediately and applies retrospectively. However, these requirements have no impact on the Group as the Group's consolidated revenue is less than EUR 750 million per year and it is not in scope of the Pillar Two model rules.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

24. Loss per share

(a) Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial years as follows:

2025
S\$'000
2024
S\$'000
Numerator
Loss attributable to owners of the parent (S\$'000) (2,508) (2,281)
Denominator
Weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue during the financial year
5,509,157,443 4,987,965,981
Basic loss per share (S\$ cents) (0.0455) (0.0457)

The calculations of basic loss per share for the relevant periods are based on loss attributable to owners of the Company for the financial years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in the relevant periods.

(b) Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share because the potential ordinary shares to be converted are anti-dilutive as the effect of the shares conversion would be to decrease the loss per share.

For the purpose of calculating diluted loss per share, net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue are adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

The diluted loss per share is computed to be the same as the loss per share for the financial years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 as these are anti-dilutive for the periods presented. As at 31 December 2025, the Company does not have any dilutive potential ordinary shares (2024: 370,000,000 Option Shares ("Call Option") at the option exercise price of S\$0.003 per Option Share).

25. Significant related party transactions

For the purpose of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the Group and the Company if the Group and the Company have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Group and the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.

27. Financial instruments, financial risks and capital management

The Group's and the Company's activities expose them to credit risks, market risks (including foreign currency risks) and liquidity risks arising in the ordinary course of business. The Group's and the Company's overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the volatility of financial markets on the Group's and the Company's financial performance.

The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of financial risk management for the Group and the Company. The management then establishes the detailed policies such as risk identification and measurement, exposure limits and hedging strategies, in accordance with the objectives and underlying principles approved by the Board of Directors.

The Group and the Company do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or to hedge against fluctuations, if any, in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

There have been no changes to the Group's and the Company's exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. If necessary, market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis indicated below.

(a) Credit risks

Credit risks refer to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Group and the Company. The Group and the Company have adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group and the Company perform ongoing credit evaluation of its counterparties' financial condition and generally does not require collaterals.

The Group and the Company do not have any significant credit exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Further disclosures regarding trade and other receivables are provided in Note 8 to the financial statements.

The Group and the Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.

The Group and the Company has determined the default event on a financial asset to be when internal and/or external information indicates that the financial asset is unlikely to be received, which could include default of contractual payments due for more than 90 days, default of interest due for more than 30 days or there is significant difficulty of the counterparty.

The Group and the Company determined that its financial assets are credit-impaired when:

  • l There is significant difficulty of the debtor
  • l A breach of contract, such as a default or past due event
  • l It is becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation
  • l There is a disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulty.

The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and where there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting date. The Group's current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

27. Financial instruments, financial risks and capital management (continued)

(a) Credit risks (continued)

Basis for recognising
expected credit losses
Category Definition of category ("ECL")
I Counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any
past-due amounts.
12-month ECL
II Amount is > 30 days past due or there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL – not
credit-impaired
III Amount is > 60 days past due or there is evidence indicating the
asset is credit-impaired (in default).
Lifetime ECL – credit
impaired
IV There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial
difficulty and the debtor has no realistic prospect of recovery.
Amount is written off

Credit risk also arises from cash balances with banks. For banks, only independently rated parties with minimum rating "BBB+" derived from Fitch Ratings are accepted.

The Board of Directors monitors the credit ratings of counterparties regularly. Impairment of cash and cash equivalents has been measured based on 12-month ECL. Other than as disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements, at the reporting date, the Group and Company did not expect any credit losses from non-performance by the counterparties.

The carrying amounts of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, grossed up for any allowances for impairment losses, represents the Group's and the Company's maximum exposure to credit risks.

(b) Market risks

Foreign currency risks

The Group incurs foreign currency risk on transactions and balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of entities within the Group.

The Group and the Company do not have any significant exposure on foreign currency for both financial years.

(c) Liquidity risks

Liquidity risks refer to the risks in which the Group and the Company encounter difficulties in meeting short-term obligations. Liquidity risks are managed by matching the payment and receipt cycle.

The Group and the Company actively manage their operating cash flows so as to ensure that all payment needs are met. As part of overall prudent liquidity management, in addition to the disclosure set out in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Group and the Company minimise liquidity risk by ensuring the availability of funding through equity and maintain sufficient levels of cash to meet working capital requirements.

Contractual maturity analysis

The following table details the Group's and the Company's remaining contractual maturity 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 Group and the Company is expected to pay. The table includes both expected interest and principal cash flows.

Group Company
S\$'000 S\$'000

2024
Within one year
Trade and other payables (excluding deferred revenue) 1,049 1,205
1,049 1,205

(d) Capital management policies and objectives

The Group and the Company manage capital to ensure that the Group and the Company are able to continue as a going concern and maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholders' value.

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising share capital, other reserves and accumulated losses as disclosed in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

The management reviews the capital structure to ensure that the Group and the Company are able to service any debt obligations (including principal repayment and interest) based on their operating cash flows. Upon review, the Group and the Company will balance their overall capital structure through new share issues and the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt, if necessary. The Group's and the Company's overall strategy remains unchanged from 31 December 2024.

The Group's subsidiary, Custody Plus Pte. Ltd. is required to maintain a net equity of S\$1 million in accordance with the applicable MAS regulatory requirements. Other than as disclosed, the Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements for the financial years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

27. Financial instruments, financial risks and capital management (continued)

(d) Capital management policies and objectives (continued)

The gearing ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt is calculated as total liabilities less deferred tax liabilities, contract liabilities and cash and cash equivalents.

Group Company
2025 2024 2025 2024
S\$'000 S\$'000 S\$'000 S\$'000
Net debt 453 909 562 1,081
Total equity 626 1,004 681 1,311
Gearing ratio 72.4% 90.5% 82.5% 82.4%

(e) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

The carrying amounts of the financial assets and financial liabilities with maturity of less than one year at the reporting date, approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The Group and the Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  • l Level 1 the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and which trade in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices;
  • l Level 2 in the absence of quoted market prices, the fair values of the other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined using the other observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
  • l Level 3 in the absence of observable inputs, the fair values of the remaining financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivatives instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models.

The following table sets out the financial instruments as at the end of the reporting period:

28. Other investments

On 31 March 2024, the Company invested S\$500, representing 500 ordinary shares and 5% of the issued and paid-up share capital in a newly incorporated entity, Veivo Pte. Ltd ("JVCo"). On 27 February 2025, the Group had announced that it had no intention to continue with the framework agreement and joint venture and shareholders agreement with Delta Investment Holding Group Ltd.

The Group and the Company have designated this investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. At initial recognition, this is recognised at cost of S\$500. As at reporting dates, management determined the fair value to be at initial cost of S\$500, which approximates to its disposal price in January 2026. No fair value changes recognised (Level 3).

Subsequent to the financial year end on 19 January 2026, the Company disposed of the investment to a third party for a total consideration of S\$500. The disposal is not expected to have any material impact on the net tangible assets and earning per share of the Group.

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

29. Subsequent events

Subsequent to the reporting date, the Group entered into the following agreements:

(i) On 2 March 2026, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, APEC Solutions Pte. Ltd., entered into a joint venture agreement with Monet Verse Pte. Ltd. to undertake an artificial intelligence digital marketing business. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Group's shareholdings in Clikz Pte. Ltd. will decrease from 100% interest to 51% interest, with the remaining 49% held by Monet Verse Pte. Ltd.

Management is of the opinion that the entry into the joint venture agreement is not expected to have a material impact on the earnings per share or net tangible assets per share of the Group and the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2026.

  • (ii) On 13 April 2026, the Group entered into an Online Advertising Services Cooperation Agreement with an external party, N.E.W Verse Inc, through Clikz Pte. Ltd. for the provision of digital advertising services across major platforms for an initial term from 15 April 2026 to 14 April 2027.
  • (iii) On 14 April 2026, the Group entered into a subscription agreement with an investor. Under the terms of the subscription agreement, the Company agree to allot and issue a total of 350,000,000 new ordinary shares at the issue price of S\$0.0034 for each subscription share, amounting to a total consideration of S\$1,190,000. The completion of the subscription agreement is conditional upon the receipt of the listing and quotation notice from SGX-ST and other terms as set out in the subscription agreement.

  1. A member who is not a Relevant Intermediary (as defined in Section 181 of the Companies Act) is entitled to appoint not more than two (2) proxies to attend, speak and vote on his/her/its behalf at the AGM. A member of the Company which is a corporation is entitled to appoint its authorised representative or proxy to vote on its behalf. Where such member appoints two (2) proxies, the proportion of his/ her/its shareholding to be represented by each proxy shall be specified. If no proportion is specified, the Company shall be entitled to treat the first named proxy as representing the entire number of shares entered against his/her/its name in the Depository Register and any second named proxy as an alternate to the first named.

A member who is a Relevant Intermediary is entitled to appoint more than two (2) proxies to attend, speak and vote at the AGM, but each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by such member. Where such member appoints more than two (2) proxies, the number and class of shares in relation to which each proxy has been appointed shall be specified in the form of proxy.

"Relevant Intermediary" has the meaning prescribed to it in Section 181 of the Companies Act:

  • c. the Central Provident Fund ("CPF") Board established by the CPF Act 1953, in respect of shares purchased under the subsidiary legislation made under that Act providing for the making of investments from the contributions and interest standing to the credit of members of the CPF, if the Board holds those shares in the capacity of an intermediary pursuant to or in accordance with the subsidiary legislation.

A member can appoint the Chairman of the AGM as his/her/its proxy but this is not mandatory.

If a member wishes to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as proxy, such member (whether individual or corporate) must give specific instructions as to voting for, voting against, or abstentions from voting on, each resolution in the instrument appointing the Chairman of the AGM as proxy. If no specific direction is given as to voting or abstentions from voting in respect of a resolution in the form of proxy, the appointment of the Chairman of the AGM as proxy for that resolution will be treated as invalid.

  1. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

    1. The instrument appointing proxy/proxies, together with the power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed (if applicable) or a notarial certified copy thereof, must be deposited:

in either case, by 10:00 a.m. on 28 April 2026 (being not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM) (or at any adjournment thereof) and in default the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid.

    1. The instrument appointing a proxy or proxies must be under the hand of the appointor or on his/her attorney duly authorised in writing. Where the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies is executed by a corporation, it must be executed either under its common seal or under the hand of its attorney or duly authorised officer, failing which the instrument of proxy may be treated as invalid. Where the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies is executed by an attorney on behalf of the appointor, the letter or the power of attorney or a duly certified true copy thereof must be lodged with this proxy form, failing which the instrument of proxy may be treated as invalid.
    1. The Company shall be entitled to reject the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies if it is incomplete, improperly completed, illegible or where the true intentions of the appointor are not ascertainable from the instructions of the appointor specified in the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies (such as in the case where the appointor submits more than one instrument appointing a proxy or proxies).
    1. In the case of a member whose shares are entered against his/her/its name in the Depository Register (as defined in Section 81SF of the Securities and Futures Act 2001), the Company may reject any instrument of proxy lodged if such member, being the appointer, is not shown to have any shares entered against his/her/its name in the Depository Register as at seventy-two (72) hours before the time set for holding the AGM, as certified by The Central Depository (Pte) Limited to the Company.
