PRELIMINARY OFFER DOCUMENT DATED 12 MAY 2015
(Registered by the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited acting as agent on behalf of the Monetary Authority of Singapore on [] 2015)
This document is important. If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, you should consult your legal, financial, tax, or other professional
adviser(s).
Hong Leong Finance Limited (the Sponsor, Issue Manager, Underwriter and Placement Agent) has made an application to the Singapore Exchange Securities
Trading Limited (the SGX-ST) for permission to deal in, and for quotation of, all the ordinary shares (the Shares) in the capital of Singapore O&G Ltd. (the
Company) already issued, the new Shares (the New Shares) which are the subject of the Invitation (as defined herein), the new Shares (the Option Shares)
which may be issued upon the exercise of the options to be granted under the SOG Employee Share Option Scheme and the new Shares (the Award Shares)
which may be issued upon the vesting of share awards granted under the SOG Performance Share Plan, on Catalist. The dealing in, and quotation of, the Shares,
the New Shares, the Option Shares and the Award Shares will be in Singapore dollars.
Companies listed on Catalist may carry higher investment risk when compared with larger or more established companies listed on the Main Board of the SGX-ST.
In particular, companies may list on Catalist without a track record of profitability and there is no assurance that there will be a liquid market in the shares or units
of shares traded on Catalist. You should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration
and, if appropriate, consultation with your professional adviser(s).
This Invitation is made in or accompanied by this Offer Document that has been registered by the SGX-ST acting as agent on behalf of the Monetary
Authority of Singapore (the Authority). We have not lodged or registered this Offer Document in any other jurisdiction.
Neither the Authority nor the SGX-ST has examined or approved the contents of this Offer Document. Neither the Authority nor the SGX-ST assumes any
responsibility for the contents of this Offer Document, including the correctness of any of the statements or opinions made or reports contained in this Offer
Document. The SGX-ST does not normally review the application for admission but relies on the Sponsor, Issue Manager, Underwriter and Placement Agent
confirming that our Company is suitable to be listed on Catalist and complies with the rules of the Listing Manual (as defined herein). Neither the Authority nor the
SGX-ST has, in any way, considered the merits of the Shares or units of Shares being offered for investment.
The registration of this Offer Document by the SGX-ST does not imply that the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, or any other legal or
regulatory requirements, or requirements under the SGX-STs listing rules, have been complied with.
Acceptance of applications will be conditional upon the issue of the New Shares (as defined herein) and the listing and quotation of all our existing issued Shares,
the New Shares, the Option Shares and the Award Shares. Monies paid in respect of any application accepted will be returned to you at your own risk, without
interest or any share of revenue or other benefit arising therefrom, if the admission and listing do not proceed, and you will not have any claims against us, and
the Sponsor, Issue Manager, Underwriter and Placement Agent.
Investing in our shares involves risks which are described in the section RISK FACTORS of this Offer Document.
After the expiration of six (6) months from the date of registration of this Offer Document, no person shall make an offer of securities, or allot, issue or sell any
of our Shares, on the basis of this Offer Document; and no officer or equivalent person or promoter of our Company will authorise or permit the offer of any of our

Risk Factors

34

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Shares involves risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider and
evaluate each of the following considerations and all other information set forth in this Offer
Document before deciding to invest in our Shares. The following describes some of the significant
risks known to us now that could directly or indirectly affect us and the value or trading price of
our Shares. The following does not state risks unknown to us now but which could occur in future,
and risks which we currently believe to be immaterial, which could turn out to be material. Should
these risks occur or turn out to be material, they could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. To the best of our Directors
knowledge and belief, all risk factors which are material to investors in making an informed
judgment of our Group have been set out below. If any of the following considerations,
uncertainties or material risks develop into actual events, our business, operations, prospects,
financial conditions and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In
such cases, the trading price of our Shares could decline and investors may lose all or part of their
investment in our Shares.
This Offer Document also contains forward-looking statements having direct and/or indirect
implications on our future performance. Investors should also consider the information provided
below in connection with the forward-looking statements in this Offer Document and the warning
regarding forward-looking statements at the beginning of this Offer Document. Our actual results
may differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements due to certain
factors, including the risks and uncertainties faced by us, as described below and elsewhere in
this Offer Document.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH WE OPERATE
We are subject to regulations and licensing requirements for our operations
The healthcare industry is highly regulated. We and our healthcare professionals are subject to
laws and regulations, including for example, the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act, the
Medical Registration Act and the Nurses and Midwives Act. Any adverse changes in such laws and
regulations or the introduction of new applicable laws and regulations could result in, among
others, more stringent requirements and/or an increase in compliance costs, which could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, the relevant authorities such as MOH and SMC may suspend or deny renewal of licenses
in respect of our business operations and healthcare professionals if they determine that we or our
healthcare professionals do not meet the applicable standards and this could also materially and
adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our Group.
We may not be able to obtain the requisite approvals, licenses and/or permits or renew our
current approvals, licenses and/or permits upon their expiration
We and our healthcare professionals require various approvals, licenses and/or permits to
operate, and the obtaining of these requisite approvals, licenses and/or permits and the renewal
of the same are subject to compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. While we have not
experienced any issues with obtaining or renewing these requisite approvals, licenses and/or
permits as at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so upon
their expiration. In addition, any changes to the existing laws and regulations may require us to
apply for new approvals, licenses and/or permits and there is no assurance that we will be able
to obtain these new approvals, licenses and/or permits.

35

RISK FACTORS
In the event that we are unable to obtain or renew the requisite approvals, licenses and/or permits,
or such approvals, licenses and/or permits are withdrawn by us, we may be required to cease
development or operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations of our
Group may be adversely affected.
We are dependent on certain key management personnel
Our continued success is dependent on certain members of our management team, including
some who have been with our Group since its inception, to manage our current operations and
meet future business challenges. Our Executive Directors and Executive Officers are responsible
for formulating and implementing our growth, corporate development and overall business
strategies. While we have entered into service agreements with each of our Executive Directors
(please refer to the section titled Directors, Executive Officers and Employees Service
Agreements), any loss of the services of any of our key management personnel without a suitable
and timely replacement could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and
results of operations of our Group.
We are dependent on our key specialist medical practitioners
We are dependent on certain of our specialist medical practitioners. In particular, the services of
Dr. Lee Keen Whye, Dr. Heng Tung Lan, Dr. Beh Suan Tiong and Dr. Choo Wan Ling are integral
to the development and business of our Group. Together, they contributed an aggregate of 93.1%,
90.3% and 93.1% of our revenue for FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014, respectively. Although we
have entered into service agreements with each of Dr. Lee Keen Whye, Dr. Heng Tung Lan, Dr.
Beh Suan Tiong and Dr. Choo Wan Ling (please refer to the section titled Directors, Executive
Officers and Employees Service Agreements), and while we will continue to develop our talent
pool in order to ensure continuity, any loss of the services of any of our key specialist medical
practitioners without a suitable and timely replacement could materially and adversely affect the
business, financial condition and results of operations of our Group.
We are dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled and qualified healthcare
professionals including specialist medical practitioners
Our business operations comprise primarily the provision of specialist medical services. Our
market presence, reputation and growth are dependent on our ability to attract skilled and
qualified healthcare professionals. These include specialist medical practitioners in the fields of
obstetrics, gynaecology, oncology, infertility treatments and paediatrics, as well as nurses and
other clinical staff. We compete for these personnel with other healthcare providers.
The demand for healthcare professionals is highly competitive. Healthcare professionals require
professional licences to practice, and it may take several years for them to obtain the requisite
training. In the case of specialist medical practitioners, the training period can be up to fifteen (15)
years and even longer for certain medical specialties. Our ability to attract such persons depends
on, inter alia, our reputation, professional relationships and compensation. We may not compare
favourably with other healthcare providers on one or more of these factors.
Most of our specialist medical practitioners are employed on fixed term contracts and there is no
assurance that they will not leave or renew their employment with us upon the expiry of their
employment contracts. Some of our other specialist medical practitioners may be visiting
consultants and there is no assurance that they will continue to be our visiting consultants.
Further, we may not be able to successfully attract and recruit highly qualified specialist medical
practitioners in the future in line with our expansion plans. Any loss of the services of any of our
36

RISK FACTORS
specialist medical practitioners without suitable and timely replacements or an inability to attract
and recruit qualified specialist medical practitioners could materially and adversely affect the
business, financial condition and results of operations of our Group.
We are dependent on our ability to recruit and develop specialist medical practitioners for
our growth and continuity
Our Group has been successful in recruiting and developing technically strong specialist medical
practitioners. We have helped them build a quality patient list by referring patients from our more
established specialist medical practitioners, by promoting our specialist medical practitioners
through our corporate social responsibility initiatives and through our other marketing channels.
If we are unable to build such a list for our specialist medical practitioners within our targeted time
span, we may not be able to generate a satisfactory return on the monies we invested in these
specialist medical practitioners. In such an event, there may be a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition and results of operations of our Group.
We do not have a long operating history
Our Company was incorporated on 6 January 2011 and we only started operations as a group
following the Restructuring Exercise in 2013 (please refer to the section titled Restructuring
Exercise of this Offer Document for more details). As such, we do not have the relevant operating
history on which our past performance may be judged. This will make it more difficult for investors
to assess our Groups likely future performance and for investors to determine if our Group will be
able to meet our projected business plan.
Our medical clinics are subject to lease renewals and relocation risks
Currently, we lease the premises of all of our medical clinics. Upon the expiry of such lease term,
the landlords have the right to review and revise the terms and conditions of such lease
agreements. We therefore face the risk of an increase in rental or not being able to renew the
leases on terms and conditions favourable to us or at all. Any increase in rental or relocation would
increase our operating expenses. Further, in the event that our existing lease agreements are not
renewed upon their expiry and suitable alternative locations cannot be found in a timely manner
or at all, we may have to suspend the operations of affected medical clinics. Accordingly, the
occurrence of any of the foregoing may have a material adverse impact on the financial condition
and results of operations of our Group.
Challenges that affect the healthcare industry may have an impact on our operations
We are impacted by the challenges currently facing the healthcare industry. We believe that the
key ongoing industry-wide challenges are providing high quality patient care in a competitive
environment and managing costs (especially the high cost of rental and staff salaries and
benefits).
In addition, our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects may be affected
by other factors that affect the entire healthcare industry such as:

technological and pharmaceutical improvements that increase the cost of providing, or


reduce the demand for, healthcare services;

general economic and business conditions at local, regional, national and international
levels;
37

RISK FACTORS

demographic changes;

an increase in the threat of terrorism or armed conflicts and the occurrence of natural and
man-made disasters that affect travel security or the global economy which could reduce the
volume of medical travellers;

improvements in the level of quality of healthcare services in neighbouring countries that


may affect the stream of medical travellers coming to our medical facilities;

changes in the supply distribution chain or other factors that increase the cost of supplies;

stricter regulations governing protection of sensitive or confidential patient information from


unauthorised disclosure;

stricter regulations governing the purchase of medications and pharmaceutical drugs, which
are highly regulated; and

reputational and potential financial risk to our operations caused by the independent actions
of doctors, including the prices they charge patients for their services.

In particular, the patient volumes and operating income at our medical clinics are subject to
economic and seasonal variations caused by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

unemployment levels;

the cultural and business environment of local communities and in the home countries of
medical travellers;

the number of uninsured and underinsured patients in local communities;

seasonal cycles of illness; and

climate and weather conditions.

Any failure by us to effectively manage these challenges may have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.
Our operations are located only in Singapore, which makes us sensitive to regulatory,
economic, social, political, environmental and competitive conditions and changes in
Singapore
While we have plans to eventually expand overseas, our operations are currently located only in
Singapore, and our healthcare professionals are licensed to practise only in Singapore. This
concentration makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory, social, political, economic,
environmental and competitive conditions and changes in Singapore. Any material change in the
current government insurance payment systems or policies, regulatory, economic, environmental
or competitive conditions in Singapore may have a disproportionate and material adverse effect
on our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.

38

RISK FACTORS
An inability to keep abreast of advances in technology will affect our competitive edge and
hence our financial performance adversely
We need to continually keep up with advances in medical technology relevant to our business.
Rapid changes in the healthcare industry require sourcing for and investing in new equipment and
technology. From time to time, we also need to upgrade existing equipment and facilities. This
may require significant capital expenditure.
If we are unable to adapt to and to acquire such advances in technology, demand for our
healthcare services may decline. There is also no assurance that we will be able to recover the
financial outlay for these equipment and technology should patients expectations for these
services not be met. As a result, there may be a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition and results of operations of our Group.
We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors
The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We face competition from other healthcare
service providers in Singapore and overseas from both the public and private sectors, some of
whom may have longer operating histories, wider range of services, more advanced technologies
and equipment, greater brand recognition and/or greater financial resources. Such competitors
may be in a better position to expand their market share. Increased competition may result in
lower profit margins and a loss of market share for our Group. There is no assurance that we will
be able to compete against our competitors effectively in the future and this could materially and
adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our Group.
We are subject to risks of complaints, claims and regulatory actions arising from the
provision of our healthcare services
The provision of professional healthcare services entails inherent risks of liability. While we have
not been the subject of any material complaints, claims or regulatory actions arising from the
provision of our healthcare services, we are exposed to the risks of the same being made against
us, and the risks of litigation and potential liability arising from the conduct of our business and the
provision of professional healthcare services.
As a specialist medical group providing, inter alia, screening, testing, advice, treatment and
surgical services for complex medical conditions, which do not have guaranteed positive
outcomes, we are susceptible to complaints, allegations and legal actions, with or without merit,
which may be made or taken against us and/or our healthcare professionals in relation to, inter
alia, our services, pricing, marketing activities, negligence or medical malpractice. Indeed, our
specialist medical practitioners often provide the foregoing services based upon, inter alia,
consultations with patients, and the results of lab and diagnostic tests, which may at times be
imprecise and/or inaccurate. As a result, we may from time to time be involved in material disputes
with various parties in the ordinary course of our business. These complaints, allegations and
disputes, regardless of their validity, may lead to legal or other proceedings, and may result in
negative publicity, substantial costs and diversion of our resources and managements attention.
If such proceedings occur, we cannot assure you that the outcome will not be detrimental to the
Group, and any negative outcome may have a material adverse impact on the staff morale,
reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations of our Group.

39

RISK FACTORS
Any complaint against us or our specialist medical practitioners or healthcare professionals may
also result in investigations and/or disciplinary actions by the relevant governing professional
body (including SMC and MOH) which could in turn result in fines, suspension and/or revocation
of licenses. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events may have a material adverse impact
on the staff morale, reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations of our
Group.
It should finally be noted that the businesses and medical clinics which we have acquired or may
acquire, and the specialist medical practitioners and healthcare professionals which we have
hired or may hire, may have unknown or contingent liabilities and we may become liable for the
past activities of such businesses and medical clinics.
There is no assurance that we will be able to recover any or all of the damages, fines and/or legal
costs from our insurance policies, which may have a material adverse impact on the staff morale,
reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations of our Group.
We may not have adequate insurance coverage
Our medical clinics and medical equipment face the risk of suffering physical damage caused by
fire or natural disasters or other causes, which could disrupt our business operations. Further, our
medical clinics also face the risk of potential public liability claims. There is no assurance that
there will not be any such damage or that liability claims will not be in excess of the amount
covered by our insurance policies or that such insurance policies are comprehensive and cover
all types of damage suffered or public liability claims. As such, the occurrence of any of the
foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We believe we have insured our business operations and medical clinics in line with industry
practice in Singapore. However, we cannot be assured that such insurance coverage will be
sufficient to cover all potential liabilities and risks that we face. Should there be adverse
developments such as terrorist attacks and other natural or man-made disasters such as
earthquakes and floods, fire hazards and other events beyond our control in Singapore or any
other regions where we have operations, we may not have adequate insurance coverage to cover
these liabilities and risks and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects
may be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, any material change in the terms of our
specialist medical practitioners insurance policies may have a disproportionate and material
adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects. While our
specialist medical practitioners currently have occurrence-based insurance (i.e. coverage
provides protection from claims and complaints stemming from incidents during the year of
subscription regardless of when the claim is made), material changes to the terms of their
insurance policies such as a shift by insurers to claims-based insurance (e.g. where coverage
provides protection from claims and complaints stemming from incidents during the year of
subscription, provided the relevant incident is reported within that year or on such other terms as
the insurers may decide) may result in claims for which we may not be compensated by insurance
proceeds (if any) and/or contractual indemnities (if any). Should there be any such material
changes, we may have to make provisions in our accounts and this may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Further, our insurance policies are renewed on an annual basis and there is no assurance that we
will be able to renew all of our policies or obtain new policies on similar terms.

40

RISK FACTORS
We are dependent on our ability to contain our operating costs
Employee benefits and operating lease expenses are our Groups two (2) largest operating
expenses. In FY2014, employee benefits and operating lease expenses accounted for
approximately 72.1% and 8.3%, respectively, of our total operating costs.
Competition for skilled and qualified healthcare professionals may result in a general rise in their
wages. In order to retain or attract such healthcare professionals, we may have to improve our
remuneration terms and benefits, which may have a material adverse impact on the business,
financial condition and results of operations of our Group. Operating lease expenses will also
increase if we lease more premises in the expansion of our business operations.
Such increases in operating costs may have a material adverse impact on the financial condition
and results of operations of our Group.
We are dependent on certain private hospitals
As our medical clinics are currently located in Gleneagles Medical Centre, Parkway East Medical
Centre, Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre and Thomson Medical Centre, we will arrange
for our obstetrics patients to deliver their babies in either Gleneagles Medical Centre, Parkway
East Medical Centre, Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre or Thomson Medical Centre. If
there is a disruption in the operations of these hospitals, for instance due to a major fire, it would
affect our business insofar that we would have to find available beds in other hospitals which are
located further away from our medical clinics.
We depend on individual patients and corporate clients who opt for private healthcare
services
The demand for our healthcare services is highly dependent on the financial ability and the
willingness of individual patients and corporate clients to pay for private healthcare services.
Negative market sentiment, a slowdown in the economy or a higher unemployment rate may lead
to a decrease in demand for our services as more patients may opt for subsidised public
healthcare services available at government hospitals and polyclinics or treatment from other
private healthcare providers that are more price competitive.
Any decrease in the demand for our services from individual private patients and corporate clients
may have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of operations
of our Group.
We are subject to risks associated with medical technology developments
The specialist healthcare industry is characterised by rapid developments in medical technology.
As a result, we may be exposed to changes in technology in the fields in which we operate,
including alternative procedures, treatments, medical equipment, drugs and other products that
may be more effective, easier to use or more economical than those currently utilised by us.
There is no assurance that the procedures, treatments, medical equipment and drugs used by us
will not become obsolete or that we will be able to acquire suitable alternative procedures,
treatments, medical equipment, drugs. In such an event, the demand for our services, our
reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected.

41

RISK FACTORS
We may also incur costs in sourcing for and investing in new medical technologies without
obtaining a commensurate return on our investment. In such an event, our business, financial
condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our future expansion may be affected by the social, political and economic conditions in
the countries we seek to expand into
A change in the social, political and economic conditions of the countries in which we seek to
expand may lead to a change in the demand for, and perception/desirability of our healthcare
services in those countries. These conditions may include unfavourable changes in government
policies, a downturn in that economy, or the occurrence of political unrest.
Such events are beyond our control and may disrupt or cause our expansion into those countries
to falter or fail. This may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
There is no assurance that our future plans will be commercially successful
We have in the past three (3) years, expanded our operations in a gradual manner. Such
expansion included the setting-up of new medical clinics, the expansion of our existing medical
facilities, and an investment in a bio-medical company that is complementary to our existing
businesses. We intend to continue with the expansion of our operations. Please refer to the
section titled General Information on our Group Our Business Strategies and Future Plans of
this Offer Document for more information.
There is no assurance that our business strategies and future plans will be commercially
successful. Such plans may be expensive and may divert our managements attention and expose
our business to unforeseen liabilities or risks associated with entering new markets or new
businesses.
Additionally, we intend to develop and expand our existing business operations by acquiring
and/or opening more clinics. We may not be successful in integrating any acquired businesses
and may not achieve the anticipated synergies for revenue growth and cost benefits. If we fail to
achieve a sufficient level of revenue or if our expansion plans result in a lapse of patient service,
performance problems with an acquired company, potential dilutive issuances of equity securities
or the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, possible impairment charges related to goodwill or
other intangible assets or any other unanticipated events or circumstances, our business,
financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our medical facilities may be affected by outbreaks of infectious diseases
A resurgence of the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or any other contagious or virulent diseases like influenza (H5N1
and H7N9) or bird flu in Singapore and/or the region could have a material adverse impact on our
operations. In the event such outbreaks occur at any of our medical facilities, greater infection
control measures will have to be implemented with the possibility of temporary closure of the
affected facility and quarantine of all affected healthcare professionals.
In addition, occurrences of epidemics and pandemics could also result in negative public opinion
of medical institutions, which will materially and adversely affect our operations and financial
performance.

42

RISK FACTORS
We may be affected by terrorist attacks, natural disasters and other events beyond our
control
Terrorist attacks may lead to uncertainty in the economic outlook of markets leading to an
economic downturn. This may in turn have an adverse impact on our business. There can be no
assurance that the terrorists will not target Singapore or the countries in which we may operate
in the future.
Our Groups current insurance policies do not cover terrorist attacks. The consequences of any
such terrorist attacks, natural disasters or other events beyond our control are unpredictable, and
we are not able to foresee events of such nature, which could cause interruptions to parts of our
businesses and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
While Singapore is naturally sheltered from major natural catastrophes, there is no assurance that
Singapore or the countries in which we may operate in the future will not suffer any major natural
catastrophe in the future. Such events can cause substantial structural and physical damage to
properties and infrastructure. In the event that Singapore or the countries in which we may operate
in the future suffers any natural disasters, substantial structural and physical damage to our
properties may be caused, resulting in the incurrence of expenses to repair the damage caused.
The environmental conditions may also cause business disruptions, affect investments and result
in various other adverse effects on Singapore or the countries in which we may operate in the
future in general. This may lead to a decrease in demand for our services and this may materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to political, economic and social developments in Singapore
Our business, prospects, financial position and results of operations may be adversely affected by
political, economic, social and legal developments in Singapore that are beyond our control. Such
political and economic uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks of war, terrorism,
nationalism, expropriation or nullification of contracts, changes in interest rates, rates of economic
growth, fiscal and monetary policies of the government, inflation, deflation, methods of taxation
and tax policy, unemployment trends, and other matters that influence consumer confidence,
spending and tourism. Increasing volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change
with a greater degree of frequency and magnitude. Negative developments in the socio-political
environment in Singapore, may adversely affect our business, financial position, results of
operations and prospects. In addition, changes in tax laws or other regulations or actions taken
by the Singapore government to partially or wholly nationalise or compulsorily acquire our
properties or the underlying land may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
position, results of operations and prospects.
Our Group may be adversely affected by the uncertain global economic outlook
Our business is susceptible to the general economic conditions in Singapore. Factors such as
gross domestic product (GDP) growth, disposable income and unemployment rates may affect the
number of patients who opt for private healthcare and indirectly affect our business operations.
Given the uncertainties of the future economic outlook, there is no assurance that we will be able
to grow our business, or that we will be able to react promptly to any change in economic
conditions. In the event that we fail to react promptly to the changing economic conditions, our
performance and profitability could be adversely affected. Our business performance, future plans
and operations may be adversely affected if these conditions deteriorate in the future.

43

RISK FACTORS
We may be subject to competition laws and regulations in certain countries in which we
operate
Competition laws and regulations in Singapore may limit our growth and subject us to anti-trust
and merger control investigations. Violation of such laws or regulations could potentially expose
us to financial penalties or rights of private action. The Singapore competition regime generally
favours increased competition. We may be subject to anti-trust investigations, restricted from
continuing to engage in practices found to be anti-competitive and restricted from continuing to
engage in practices that are found to be an abuse of that dominance. We cannot predict the effect
of any investigations by competition authorities on our business. If, as a result of any investigation
by the relevant authorities, we are subject to financial or other penalties or we are prohibited from
engaging in certain types of businesses or practices, our business, financial position, results of
operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR SHARES
Investments in securities quoted on Catalist involve a higher degree of risk and can be less
liquid than shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST
An application has been made for our Shares to be listed for quotation on Catalist, a listing
platform designed primarily for fast-growing and emerging or smaller companies to which a higher
investment risk tends to be attached as compared to larger or more established companies listed
on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. An investment in shares quoted on Catalist may carry a higher
risk than an investment in shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST and the future success
and liquidity in the market of our Shares cannot be guaranteed.
Investors in our Shares will face immediate and substantial dilution in our NTA per Share
and may experience future dilution
Our Issue Price of [] cents per Share is substantially higher than our NTA per Share of [] cents
based on the post-Invitation issued and paid-up share capital adjusted for the net proceeds from
the issue of New Shares. If we were liquidated for NTA immediately following the Invitation, each
Shareholder subscribing to the Invitation would receive less than the price they paid for their
Shares. Details of the immediate dilution of our Shares incurred by new investors are described
under the section titled Dilution of this Offer Document.
Additional funds raised through issuance of new Shares for future growth will dilute
Shareholders equity interests
We may, in the future, expand our capabilities and business through acquisitions, joint ventures,
strategic partnerships and alliances with parties who can add value to our business. We may
require additional equity funding after the Invitation by way of a placement of new Shares or issue
new Shares as consideration to finance future acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic
partnerships and alliances, which may result in a dilution to the equity interests of our
Shareholders. Further, in the event that the Company raises additional funds to meet its financing
needs and existing Shareholders do not participate in the pro-rata fund raising activities such as
rights issues, such Shareholders may experience a dilution in their shareholdings.

44

RISK FACTORS
Future sale or issuance of our Shares could materially and adversely affect our Share price
Any future sale or issuance or availability of a large number of our Shares in the public market or
perception thereof may have a downward pressure on our Share price. These factors also affect
our ability to sell additional equity securities in the future, at a time and price we deem appropriate.
Save as disclosed under the section titled Shareholders Moratorium of this Offer Document,
there will be no restriction on the ability of our Shareholders to sell their Shares either on the
SGX-ST or otherwise.
Further, if we were to raise funds in the future by way of a rights issue, if any Shareholder is
unwilling to participate in such fund raising, such Shareholder will suffer dilution of his
shareholding.
There has been no prior market for our Shares and the Invitation may not result in an active
or liquid market and there is a possibility that our Share price may be volatile
Prior to the Invitation, there had been no public market for our Shares. Although we have made
an application to the SGX-ST for our Shares to be listed for quotation on Catalist, there is no
assurance that an active trading market for our Shares will develop, or if it develops, be sustained.
There is also no assurance that the market price for our Shares will not decline below the Issue
Price. The market price of our Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations due to various
external factors and events including the liquidity of our Shares in the market, differences between
our actual financial or operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, general
market conditions and broad market fluctuations.
Our Share price may be volatile in future which could result in substantial losses for
investors purchasing Shares pursuant to the Invitation
The trading price of our Shares may fluctuate significantly and rapidly after the Invitation as a
result of, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

variations of our operating results;

changes in securities analysts recommendations, perceptions or estimates of our financial


performance;

changes in market valuations and share prices of companies with business similar to that of
our Company that may be listed in Singapore;

additions or departures of our key management personnel;

material changes or uncertainty in the political, economic and regulatory environment in the
markets that we operate;

fluctuations of stock markets prices and volume;

announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures;

successes or failures of our efforts in implementing business and growth strategies;

our involvement in material litigation; and

changes in conditions affecting the industry, the general economic conditions or stock market
sentiments or other events or factors.
45

RISK FACTORS
Investors may not be able to participate in future rights issues or certain other equity
issues of our Shares
In the event that we issue new Shares, we will be under no obligation to offer those Shares to our
existing Shareholders at the time of issue, except where we elect to conduct a rights issue.
However, in electing to conduct a rights issue or certain other equity issues, we will have the
discretion and may also be subject to certain regulations as to the procedures to be followed in
making such rights available to Shareholders or in disposing of such rights for the benefit of such
Shareholders and making the net proceeds available to them. In addition, we may not offer such
rights to our existing Shareholders having an address in jurisdictions outside of Singapore.
Accordingly, certain Shareholders may be unable to participate in future equity offerings by us and
may experience dilution in their shareholdings as a result.
Certain transactions may dilute the ownership of holders of our Shares
As a result of adjustments from rights offerings, certain issuances of new Shares and certain other
actions we may take to modify our capital structure, Shareholders may experience a dilution in
their ownership of our Shares. There can be no assurance that we will not take any of the
foregoing actions, and such actions in the future may adversely affect the market price of our
Shares.
Negative publicity including those relating to any of our Directors, Executive Officers or
Substantial Shareholders may materially and adversely affect our Share price
Negative publicity or announcements including those relating to any of our Directors, Executive
Officers or Substantial Shareholders may materially and adversely affect the market perception of
our Group or the performance of the price of our Shares, whether or not they are justified.
Examples of negative publicity include publicity on our unsuccessful attempts in joint ventures,
acquisitions or take-overs, or involvement in insolvency proceedings.
The actual performance of our Company may differ materially from the forward-looking
statements in this Offer Document
This Offer Document contains forward-looking statements, which are based on a number of
assumptions which are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
outside our control. Furthermore, our revenue and financial performance are dependent on a
number of external factors, such as demand for our services which may decrease for various
reasons, including increased competition within the industry or changes in applicable laws and
regulations. We cannot assure you that these assumptions will be realised and our actual
performance will be as projected.
Control by our Substantial Shareholders of our share capital after the Invitation may limit
your ability to influence the outcome of decisions requiring the approval of Shareholders
Subject to the Invitation, our Controlling Shareholders, Dr. Lee Keen Whye and Dr. Heng Tung
Lan, will hold directly in aggregate approximately []% of our issued share capital. As a result, they
will be able to significantly influence our corporate actions such as mergers or take-over attempts
in a manner which may not be in line with the interests of our public Shareholders. They will also
have veto power in relation to any shareholder action or approval requiring a majority vote except
in situations where they are required by the rules of the Listing Manual, the SGX-ST or

46

RISK FACTORS
undertakings given by them to abstain from voting. Such concentration of ownership may also
have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our Group which may
not benefit our Shareholders.
We may not be able to pay dividends in the future
Our ability to declare dividends to our Shareholders will depend on our future financial
performance and distributable reserves of our Company, which, in turn, depends on us
successfully implementing our strategies and on financial, competitive, regulatory, technical and
other factors, including but not limited to general economic conditions, demand for and selling
prices of our products and services and other factors specific to our industry or specific projects,
many of which are beyond our control. As such, there is no assurance that our Company will be
able to pay dividends to our Shareholders. In the event that our Company enters into any loan
agreements in the future, covenants therein may also limit when and how much dividends we can
declare and pay.

47

USE OF PROCEEDS AND LISTING EXPENSES


The estimated amount of expenses of the Invitation and of the application for listing, including
underwriting and placement commission, brokerage, management, audit and legal fees,
advertising and printing expenses, listing fees payable to the SGX-ST and the Authority and all
other incidental expenses in relation to the Invitation is approximately S$[] (including GST). The
net proceeds to be raised from the issue of the New Shares (after deducting expenses of
approximately S$[]) are estimated to be S$[].

Sponsorship, Management, Underwriting and Placement Arrangements of this Offer Document for more details.

Please refer to the section titled Our Business Strategies and Future Plans of this Offer
Document for more information on our intended use of the net proceeds from the Invitation.
Pending the deployment of the net proceeds from the Invitation, the funds will be placed in
short-term deposits with financial institutions and/or used to invest in short-term money market
instruments as our Directors may, in their absolute discretion, deem appropriate.
As part of its terms of reference, our Audit Committee will monitor our use of net proceeds from
the Invitation. As and when the funds from the Invitation are materially disbursed, our Company
will make periodic announcements via SGXNET on the use of the net proceeds and will provide
a status report on the use thereof in our annual report.

48

USE OF PROCEEDS AND LISTING EXPENSES


In the event that our proposed use of the net proceeds from the Invitation does not materialise or
proceed as planned, our Directors will carefully evaluate the situation and may re-allocate the
intended funding to other purposes and/or hold such funds on short-term deposits for so long as
our Directors deem it to be in the best interest of our Company and our Shareholders, taken as
a whole. Any change in the use of the net proceeds from the Invitation will be subject to the Listing
Manual and appropriate announcements will be made by our Company on SGXNET.
Save as disclosed above, none of the net proceeds from the Invitation will be used, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or re-finance the acquisition of an asset other than in the ordinary course of
business.
There is no minimum amount which, in the reasonable opinion of our Directors, must be raised by
the Invitation.
Subscribers of the Placement Shares may be required to pay brokerage of 1.0% of the Issue Price
to the Placement Agent or any sub-placement agent that may be appointed by the Placement
Agent.

S$2,175,000, and the aggregate amount of FY2014 dividends declared and paid in FY2015 was

(based on the number of share of 200, as at 31 December 2013) and S$0.01, (based on the
number of share of 174,400,000 as at 31 December 2014), respectively. Please refer to the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information of Singapore O&G Ltd. and its
Subsidiaries for the Financial Year ended 31 December 2014 as set out in Appendix B of this
Offer Document for more details on the financial effects of the FY2014 dividends declared and

The subsidiaries of the Company have declared and paid dividends. The aggregate amount of
dividends declared and paid in FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 was S$700,000, S$1,726,523 and

Our Board of Directors may declare annual dividends, subject to the approval of our Shareholders,
in an annual general meeting, but the amount of such dividend shall not exceed the amount
recommended by our Directors. Our Directors may, without the approval of our Shareholders, also
declare an interim dividend. Although the ability of our Company to pay future dividends to
Shareholders is subject to various factors including but not limited to the financial performance,
cash flow requirements, availability of distributable reserves and tax credits, future operating
conditions as well as future expansion, capital expenditure and investment plans of our Group, we
target to pay dividends of up to 90.0% (including scrip dividends, should a scrip dividend scheme
be implemented) of our net profit after tax to our Shareholders for each financial year.
The actual dividends that our Board of Directors may recommend or declare in respect of any
particular financial year or period will be subject to restrictions under applicable laws and
regulations. Under Section 403 of the Companies Act and our Articles, dividends are payable out
of profits only.
All dividends are paid pro-rata among the Shareholders in proportion to the amount paid up on
each Shareholders Shares, unless the rights attaching to an issue of any Share provides
otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment by our Company to CDP of any dividend
payable to a Shareholder whose name is entered in the Depository Register shall, to the extent
of payment made to CDP, discharge our Company from any liability to that Shareholder in respect
of that payment.
The Board of Directors may recommend a lower dividend payment, if after considering the
following matters and any other relevant matters they deem it prudent to do so:
(a)

our Groups financial position, results of operations, cash flow and commitments;

(b)

our Groups expected working capital requirements to support our Groups future growth;

(c)

our Groups projected financial performance; and

(d)

the general economic conditions and such other external factors that our Group believes to
have an impact on the business operations of our Group.

53

DIVIDEND POLICY
Subject to the above, it is our Directors intention that notwithstanding that we do not have a formal
dividend policy, we target to distribute up to 90.0% of our net profit after tax to our Shareholders
for the financial year ending 31 December 2015, as we wish to reward our Shareholders for
participating in our Groups growth (the Proposed FY2015 Dividend). Investors should,
however, note that all the foregoing statements, including the statement on the Proposed FY2015
Dividend, are merely statements of our present intention and shall not constitute legally binding
statements in respect of our future dividends which may be subject to modification (including
reduction or non-declaration thereof) in our Directors sole and absolute discretion. Investors
should not treat the Proposed FY2015 Dividend or the dividends declared and paid by us as an
indication of our Groups future dividend policy. No inference should be or can be made from any
of the foregoing statements as to our actual future profitability or ability to pay dividends. There
can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in the future or of the amount or timing of any
dividends that will be paid in the future.

OVERVIEW
We are a specialist medical group based in Singapore and regulated by the MOH and SMC. We
are amongst Singapores leading specialist groups in the area of O&G. Our main clients are
women and our main business is the provision of O&G services. We offer not only prenatal,
delivery and postnatal care but also specialist care in female hormonal and urological problems
and other diseases related to the female genital system. Since December 2014, we have also
started offering breast and gynaecological cancer treatments, and general surgical services.
Revenue
Our revenue is derived from the provision of O&G services, which includes general and ancillary
surgical services, breast and gynaecological cancer treatments, and medication and
supplements. Medication and supplements are not significant revenue generators or profit
contributors.
Revenue is recognised upon the completion of services rendered with the exception of antenatal
packages. Antenatal packages are collected upfront and the revenue is recognised on a monthly
basis over the patients remaining pregnancy periods and up to the delivery of the child.
The main factors that affect revenue include:

the number of live births in Singapore;

the general affluence of Singaporeans and their decision to use private doctors over public
doctors; and

the number of foreign employees working in Singapore.

Employee Benefits Expense
Employee benefits expense comprises salaries, bonuses, CPF contributions and other benefits
for:

SOG executive officers;

SOG management staff;

specialist medical practitioners;

junior specialist medical practitioners; and

clinical staff (e.g. staff nurses, enrolled nurses and clinic assistants).

In FY2012, FY2013, and FY2014, staff costs and benefits amounted to S$2.7 million, S$2.8 million
and S$4.8 million respectively. The rise in the FY2014 dollar costs were primarily due to the
addition of two specialist medical practitioners to the Group. The Groups specialist medical
practitioners costs accounted for about 58.8%, 58.7% and 58.8% of total staff costs and benefits
for FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014, respectively.

Depreciation of plant and equipment for FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 amounted to S$80,000,
S$126,000 and S$188,000, respectively. The increase is mainly due to the completion of
renovation works at our medical clinic at 34 at Cassia Crescent and the acquisition of a new
ultrasound machine in early 2013.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses in FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 amounted to S$0.8 million, S$0.9
million and S$2.1 million. The sharp rise in other operating expenses was due primarily to listing
expenses of S$0.8 million included in FY2014; and a rise in manpower, more marketing activities
and campaigns and the opening of a new clinic of S$0.4 million in FY2014. Other operating
expenses comprise:

administrative expenses (such as bank charges, credit cards and NETS charges, office
supplies, printing and stationery, professional fees, doctors medical professional insurance);

entertainment expenses;

S$2,000 and S$154, respectively.

Groups overall effective tax rates were 12.4%, 16.1% and 15.7% for FY2012, FY2013 and
FY2014, respectively. During these periods, the Groups effective tax rates were lower than the
prevailing statutory tax rate due to tax exemption scheme for new start-up companies and tax
rebates.
REVIEW OF PAST PERFORMANCE FY2012 vs FY2013
Revenue
Revenue increased by S$0.5 million or 6.5%, from S$8.1 million in FY2012 to S$8.6 million in
FY2013. The increase was mainly attributed by the increase in revenue from the junior specialist
medical practitioners due to the spill over of patients from the specialist medical practitioners. This
is part of the Groups strategy of recruiting junior specialist medical practitioners to manage such
spill over of patients. Our business model is designed to assist young O&G doctors in the public
sector who are looking to move into the private sector by providing them a ready list of patients
and assistance with respect to base salary and lower set up costs.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income decreased by S$78,000 or 53.9% from S$144,000 in FY2012 to S$66,000
in FY2013. This decrease is due to lower rental income received.

78

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Consumables and Medical Supplies Used
Consumables and medical supplies used remained consistent at about S$1.2 million for FY2012
and FY2013 and this is due to the result of cost containment arising from the Groups central
procurement process and cost effectiveness program.
Employee Benefits Expense
Employee benefits expense increased by S$0.1 million or 3.7% from S$2.7 million in FY2012 to
S$2.8 million in FY2013. The increase is mainly due to an increase in clinical staff from a
headcount of 13 in FY2012 to a headcount of 20 in FY2013.
Depreciation of Plant and Equipment
Depreciation increased by S$46,000 or 57.6% from S$80,000 in FY2012 to S$126,000 in FY2013.
The increase is mainly due to the completion of renovation works at our medical clinic at 34 Cassia
Crescent and the acquisition of a new ultrasound machine in early 2013.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses increased by S$49,000 or 5.8% from S$0.8 million in FY2012 to S$0.9
million in FY2013. The increase is due to more marketing activities and campaigns to create
market awareness.
Profit Before Taxation
As a result of the above, profit before tax increased by S$0.3 million or 8.6% from S$3.4 million
in FY2012 to S$3.7 million in FY2013.
Income Tax Expenses
The effective tax rate increased by 3.7%, from 12.4% in FY2012 to 16.1% in FY2013 due to the
tax incentives and rebates received in FY2012. Accordingly, income tax expense increased by
S$0.2 million or 41.0% from S$0.4 million in FY2012 to S$0.6 million in FY2013.
REVIEW OF PAST PERFORMANCE FY2013 vs FY2014
Revenue
Our revenue increased by S$4.9 million or 56.8% from S$8.6 million in FY2013 to S$13.5 million
in FY2014. The increase is mainly attributed to:

the acquisition of Behs Clinic for Women, ST Surgery and Choo Wan Ling Womens Clinic.
Consolidation of these entities/clinics into the Group, accounted for S$4.8 million in revenue
growth for FY2014; and

recruitment of two new specialist medical practitioners Dr. Radhika Lakshmanan and Dr.
Cindy Pang towards late FY2014. Their combined revenue to the Group amounted to S$0.1
million in FY2014.

79

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Other Operating Income
Our other operating income increased by S$79,000 or 118.7% from S$67,000 in FY2013 to
S$146,000 in FY2014. The increase is mainly due to more government grants received in FY2014.
Consumables and Medical Supplies Used
Our consumables and medical supplies used increased by S$0.3 million or 24.6% from S$1.2
million in FY2013 to S$1.5 million in FY2014. The increase is mainly attributed by the additional
consumables and medical supplies used in Behs Clinic for Women and Choo Wan Ling Womens
Clinic of S$0.5 million in FY2014, offset by the reduction in consumables and medical supplies of
S$0.2 million due primarily to the success of the Groups central procurement process and cost
effectiveness program.
Employee Benefits Expense
Our employee benefits expense increased by S$2.0 million or 75.0% from S$2.8 million in FY2013
to S$4.8 million in FY2014. The increase is mainly attributed to:

staff costs and benefits of S$1.6 million for the specialist medical practitioners and clinical
staff of Behs Clinic for Women, Choo Wan Ling Womens Clinic, SOG-Radhika Breast &
General Surgicare and SOG-Cindy Pang Clinic in FY2014;

increase in staff costs and benefits for SOGs managerial and administrative staff of S$0.3
million due to an increase in headcount and salary adjustments in FY2014; and

performance incentive bonus payout of S$0.1 million to a specialist medical practitioner in


FY2014.

Depreciation of Plant and Equipment


Our depreciation of plant and equipment increased by S$62,000 or 48.8% from S$126,000 in
FY2013 to S$188,000 in FY2014. The increase is mainly due to the increase in depreciation of
renovation and further computerisation.
Other Operating Expenses
Our other operating expenses increased by S$1.2 million or 138.8% from S$0.9 million in FY2013
to S$2.1 million in FY2014. The increase is mainly attributed to:

other operating expenses of S$0.7 million from Behs Clinic for Women, Choo Wan Ling
Womens Clinic, SOG-Radhika Breast & General Surgicare and SOG-Cindy Pang Clinic; and

S$0.7 million of listing related expenses recognised in FY2014.

The increase is offset by a reduction of S$0.2 million in other operating expenses from the existing
specialist medical practitioners. This reflects the Groups continuous effort to streamline
processes to achieve synergies and cost effectiveness.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


HISTORY AND MILESTONES
Our history can be traced back to more than fifteen (15) years ago when Dr. Lee Keen Whye and
Dr. Heng Tung Lan started their respective practices.
In 2010, Dr. Lee Keen Whye and Dr. Heng Tung Lan, together with Dr. Ng Koon Keng (collectively,
the Founders), a general practitioner with extensive experience in business development,
identified womens healthcare as a field within the specialist healthcare industry with good
potential for growth, and began formulating plans to build a medical platform focused on womens
healthcare. They envisioned bringing onboard like-minded professionals to establish a private
healthcare organisation that provides a wide range of premier specialist services catering to the
medical needs of women at reasonable prices. The organisation will be positioned to attract local
patients and medical tourists and will seek opportunities for expansion to overseas markets.
On 6 January 2011, our Company was incorporated under the name of Singapore Medicine
Specialists Pte. Ltd.. On 26 August 2011, our Company was renamed Singapore O&G Pte. Ltd.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


While Singapores Total Fertility Rate (the average number of live births each female Singapore
resident (i.e. citizens and permanent residents) would have during her reproductive years if she
were to experience the age-specific fertility rates prevailing during the period) (TFR) has fallen
over the years, our segment of the O&G industry and our Groups revenue continues to grow. This
is primarily because of the following reasons:
1.

Despite the fall in Singapores TFR over the years, both Singapores TFR and the actual
number of live births in Singapore have remained relatively consistent since 2010, as seen
in the table below 1. It should also be noted that Singapores total population, comprising both
Singapore residents (i.e. citizens and permanent residents) and non-residents (i.e.
foreigners including those working, studying or living in Singapore but not granted permanent
residence, but excluding tourists and short-term visitors) has been steadily increasing and is
trending growth, which should bode well for our business.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


The marketing of medical services is regulated by applicable guidelines issued by the MOH and
the relevant laws and regulations in Singapore. Please refer to the section titled General
Information on our Group Government Regulations of the Offer Document for more details.
We market our services in compliance with the applicable MOH guidelines and laws and
regulations and develop our business, through the following means:

Personal referrals
Personal referrals by word of mouth has proven to be a particularly effective strategy. This
is our Groups most important asset and strong point. Through this soft marketing
approach, we attract quality patients who are confident in our healthcare services. We will
continue to cultivate brand loyalty and goodwill amongst our existing patients.

Public Health Seminars and Publications


Our Group actively participates in public health seminars in Singapore and overseas. These
events provide opportunities for our specialist medical practitioners, either as guest speakers
or participants, to network with other doctors and the public to raise awareness of our brand
name. Many of our specialist medical practitioners contributed articles to medical journals,
which also increases our presence in the medical industry. These events also allow us to
earmark other promising specialist medical practitioners that we may recruit to join our
Group.

Corporate Website
Our corporate website highlights the profiles of our specialist medical practitioners, the range
of services that we provide and the location of our medical clinics. It is also an avenue for us
to update the public on our Groups latest activities and to educate the public on health
issues. Information contained in our website does not constitute part of this Offer
Document.

Print Media and Advertising


Going forward, our Group intends to create an in-house magazine as well as advertise in
select magazines that we currently do not advertise in, to raise brand awareness and to
promote womens healthcare. Brochures and pamphlets are important avenues to
disseminate information on the range of our services and will continue to be part of our
marketing initiatives. Our Group shall undertake the foregoing in compliance with all relevant
laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the Singapore Medical Councils
Ethical Code and Ethical Guidelines, as well as the advertising guidelines and publicity
regulations published under the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act.

Marketing Overseas
In line with the Singapore governments initiatives to attract more medical travellers to
Singapore, we intend to set up overseas sales representative offices and/or establish a
network of overseas sales agents in select ASEAN countries and PRC. Such sales offices
and agents will be responsible for marketing our Groups services in their respective
countries, sourcing for new overseas patients and making the necessary arrangements for
such overseas patients to visit our medical clinics in Singapore.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP

Formulating development and growth strategies


We continually obtain market updates and keep abreast of the latest relevant technology in
the healthcare industry, and we formulate growth strategies to increase our profile in the
industry. This also enables us to devise growth strategies locally and overseas.

Securing strategic locations for our medical clinics at cost effective rental rates
We aim to secure good and strategic locations for our medical clinics so as to expand our
business and to maximise revenue at a lowest possible rental expense. The team searches
for new sites and review existing ones.

OUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS


Our customer base comprises mainly individual patients. We are not materially dependent on any
individual or corporate client and no single client accounts for 5.0% or more of our total revenue
since our date of incorporation (a Major Customer).
As at the date of this Offer Document, none of the Directors or Substantial Shareholders of the
Company or their respective Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any Major Customer.
OUR MAJOR SUPPLIERS
Save as set out below, no individual supplier accounts for more than 5.0% of our total purchases
since our date of incorporation (a Major Supplier). Medicinal drugs and consumables such as
facial masks and disposable gloves accounted for the bulk of our purchases from suppliers, and
such suppliers include:

Apex Pharma Marketing Pte. Ltd.;

Pharmacon (Pte) Ltd;

Pharmed Import & Export Pte Ltd;

Zuellig Pharma Pte. Ltd; and

Medicell Pharmaceutical (S) Pte. Ltd.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


Zuellig Pharma Pte. Ltd. is one of the largest distributors of pharmaceutical and healthcare
products in the Asia Pacific region. Our purchases from Zuellig Pharma Pte. Ltd. increased from
47.2% of total purchases in FY2012 to 54.8% of total purchases in FY2013 due mainly to more
pharmaceutical and healthcare products being distributed by Zuellig Pharma Pte. Ltd. However in
FY2014, our purchases with Zuellig Pharma Pte. Ltd. decreased from 54.8% in FY2013 to 35.1%
in FY2014. This is due mainly to diversification of suppliers used to minimise the risk of stock out.
Although the Group obtains a significant amount of medical and healthcare products from Apex
Pharma Marketing Pte. Ltd. and Zuellig Pharma Pte. Ltd., we are confident that should any
disruption occur in the Apex Pharma Marketing Pte. Ltd. and Zuellig Pharma Pte. Ltd. supply
chain, we will be able to source from the manufacturers directly and/or procure similar alternative
supplies from other distributors.
Save as disclosed above, our business and profitability are not materially dependent on any single
supplier.
As at the date of this Offer Document, none of the Directors or Substantial Shareholders of the
Company or their respective Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any Major Supplier.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
As at 31 December 2014, our inventories comprised approximately 1.4% of our total assets.
These constitute mainly medicinal drugs and consumables such as face masks and disposable
gloves.
We generally do not make provisions for inventory obsolescence as it is our Groups policy to
write-off any expired supplies, and the saleability of each item in the inventory is evaluated. The
amount of expired supplies written-off during the Period Under Review for our Group has been
insignificant.
We have a centralised inventory ordering system all of our Groups orders with suppliers are
subject to approval from our CEO or FC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our inventories
amounted to approximately S$231,112.
We adopt the first-in-first-out method of inventory management and costing. We have put in place
a computerised inventory management system, which tracks movement of inventory items on a
real-time basis. Our finance department performs a full inventory count on a quarterly basis.
Our average inventory turnover during the Period Under Review were as follows:

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Our customers are mainly private patients who are charged on a cash basis for services and
treatment rendered. We accept various modes of payments namely cash (including electronic
payments), cheques and credit cards. The electronic payments and credit card payments usually
take three (3) working days to settle.
Our trade receivables comprise mainly amounts due from corporate clients. As a result of such
payments, our average trade receivables turnover during the Period Under Review were as
follows:

Average trade receivables turnover days (1)

FY2012

FY2013

FY2014

31

Note:
(1)

The average trade receivables turnover days is calculated based on the closing non-related trade receivables
divided by the total revenue for the year/period.

The Group will review the trade debts and follow up on the outstanding debts with the respective
hospitals and insurance companies. According to the Companys policy, the Group will provide an
allowance for doubtful debts for trade debts that are aged over 60 days and with recoverability
issues.
The increase in average trade receivables turnover days from FY2012 to FY2014 is mainly due
to the increase in procedures revenue and slower payment pattern from the hospitals and
insurance companies.
The credit terms for hospitals and insurance companies are typically thirty (30) to sixty (60) days.
Specific provision or write-off will be made when we are of the view that the collectability of an
outstanding debt is impaired or the debt is uncollectible.
Except for those trade receivables that have been included in the allowance for doubtful debts,
referring to the Groups historical default rates and experience, the Group does not foresee any
issue with collection of the outstanding debts. These trade receivables are mainly from hospitals
and insurance companies with good credit record with the Group. The Group is actively reviewing
and following up with the hospitals and insurance companies.
Our trade receivables as at 31 December 2014 amounted to S$1,931,483 and the aging of the
majority of these debts is less than 30 days. As at 31 December 2014, outstanding debts aged
more than 180 days amounted to S$192,193 (9.9%).
As at the Latest Practicable Date, approximately 68.1% of these trade receivables have been
collected.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
We believe our main competitive advantages are:
(i)

We are well-established specialist medical practitioners in womens healthcare


Most of our medical clinics and specialist medical practitioners have a track record of more
than ten (10) years in the O&G field. Our Executive Chairman, Dr. Lee Keen Whye and our
Executive Director, Dr. Heng Tung Lan, who are also our Founders, each has more than 20
years experience in the O&G field. As an indication of our reputation, most of our business
has arisen from local and overseas referrals from existing and past patients, as well as from
other medical professionals in the field.

(ii)

We have a dedicated management team with relevant industry experience


The growth of our business may be attributed to the efforts of our experienced and committed
management team and Employees. Our Group is led by our Executive Director, Dr. Lee Keen
Whye and our CEO, Dr. Ng Koon Keng. Dr. Lee Keen Whye has more than 20 years of
experience in the O&G industry. Dr. Ng Koon Keng has business development, management,
marketing and publishing experience.
Our Executive Directors and Executive Officers are actively involved in the day-to-day
operations of our medical practice, which enable us to respond to the requirements of our
patients and to make key management decisions promptly. Please refer to the section titled
Directors, Executive Officers and Employees of this Offer Document for details of our
Directors and management team.

104

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


(iii) We have a disciplined and focused direction
Our specialist medical practitioners and CEO came together to focus on womens healthcare.
By pooling their clinics and expertise, they are able to now deliver a wider range of services
catering to patients, and are able to provide a seamless diagnostic process for womens
healthcare, including mammograms and pap smears. In December 2014, the Group
expanded its services to include surgical solutions to cancers of the breast and the female
reproductive system. In 2013, cancer was the principal cause of death in Singapore,
accounting for 30.5% of all deaths. 1
We have put into place strict review processes, including reviews by our peers and
independent parties such as our patients. We believe that this has helped to maintain the
high quality of services offered by our medical clinics and that the procedures and treatments
we carry out remain current and/or market leading.
(iv) We have conveniently-located clinics in the central and east regions of Singapore
We believe that convenience is very important for pregnant mothers given the discomfort
they experience particularly in the last term of pregnancy. Most of our medical clinics are
located in Gleneagles Medical Centre, Thomson Medical Centre and Parkway East Medical
Centre and are easily accessible by public transport. We also operate a medical clinic in a
residential neighbourhood in Cassia Crescent. We intend to expand our reach across
Singapore by opening more neighbourhood clinics particularly in the north and west regions
of Singapore.
Our cancer treatment services are just as accessible, with locations at Gleneagles Medical
Centre, Parkway East Medical Centre and Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Group does not undertake any research and development activities per se. However, all our
specialist medical practitioners undertake continual education and several may undertake
individual research projects for papers they write, or for seminars they will deliver, or for other
purposes.
QUALITY CONTROL AND ASSURANCE
Service Quality
We believe that service quality is vital to any industry and even more so in the medical and
healthcare sectors. We comply with all MOH and SMC guidelines with regards to quality
standards.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
General Healthcare Industry
In Singapore, the healthcare industry can be broadly categorised into two (2) sectors, namely
public healthcare including government medical centres and hospital, and private healthcare
providers. Singapore offers a wide range of medical services via a network of polyclinics, hospitals
and specialty centres. The private sector comprises numerous private clinics, medical centres and
hospitals.

Public Sector
O&G services in the public sector are usually provided in restructured hospitals such as the
National University Hospital, Singapore General Hospital, KK Womens and Childrens Hospital,
or polyclinics. The main competitive advantage of the public sector may be the lower set charges
and fees, and access to select direct and indirect subsidies. However, patients are generally not
entitled to choose their consultants and such consultants may be younger and less experienced
than their private sector counterparts. Waiting times at public hospitals and polyclinics may also
be longer as compared to private sector clinics.
Private Sector
The private sector for O&G services is extremely fragmented, as many of the O&G clinics in
Singapore are sole proprietorships. Most of the O&G private clinics are attached to hospitals and
will arrange for their patients to deliver their babies in those hospitals. Compared to the public
sector, private O&G clinics offer a wider range of services, greater flexibility and potentially more
experienced specialist medical practitioners. As a result, private O&G specialist medical
practitioners usually command a price premium over their public sector counterparts. There are
significant barriers to entry to the private O&G sector, as it takes approximately six (6) years to
become a fully registered doctor and a further six (6) years to be trained and be accredited as an
O&G specialist medical practitioner. In addition, a qualified O&G specialist medical practitioner
must build up sufficient goodwill and clientele before starting a private practice.

Market Outlook
The market outlook for O&G services is positive. The TFR in 2013 is 1.19, which is similar to many
developed countries and societies both in the west and in Asia. The total number of live births may
rise with the growth in population, which may, depending on various factors, range between 6.5
million and 6.9 million by 2030. 1
The Singapore government has introduced a number of initiatives to boost the TFR, which may
bolster demand for O&G services.
(a)

The Baby Bonus Scheme was introduced by the Singapore government on 1 April 2001, with
the aim of supporting parents decision to have more children by helping to lighten the
financial costs of raising children. The Baby Bonus Scheme was recently enhanced in 2013,
under which parents will receive an enhanced cash gift of S$6,000 (up from S$4,000) each
for their first and second child, and S$8,000 (up from S$6,000) each for their third and fourth
child. The cash gift will be fully disbursed within twelve (12) months of the childs birth.

(b)

Assisted Conception Procedures (ACP) such as Assisted Reproduction Technology


(ART) treatment (including in-vitro fertilisation) can help couples who have difficulty
conceiving. To help couples better afford the cost of ACP treatments, they can withdraw from
their Medisave accounts, up to S$6,000, S$5,000 and S$4,000 for the first, second and third
withdrawals respectively. With effect from 1 January 2013, eligible couples seeking ART
treatment in public hospitals will now receive up to 75% in co-funding from the Singapore
government for ART treatment cycles.

(c)

The Child Development Account is a special savings account that can be opened at any
OCBC or Standard Chartered Bank branch for a child who is eligible. Under the CDA, any
savings will be matched by the Singapore government dollar for dollar up to the cap of
S$6,000 for the first and second child, S$12,000 for the third and fourth child and S$18,000
for each child thereafter.

(d)

A Parenthood Tax Rebate (PTR) is given to married Singapore tax residents to encourage
them to have more children. The PTR can be used to offset income tax payable. Any
unutilised balance is automatically carried forward to offset future income tax payable, and
any credit balance remaining is not refundable. The rebate may be shared with the spouse.

(e)

In general, mothers are entitled to sixteen (16) weeks of paid maternity leave which can be
taken up to four (4) weeks before the date of delivery, while fathers will receive one (1) week
of government-paid paternity leave which can be taken within sixteen (16) weeks after the
child is born. In addition, to further encourage and support shared parental responsibility,
fathers will also be able to share one (1) week of the sixteen (16) weeks of their spouses
maternity leave, subject to meeting certain criteria and with the agreement of their spouse.

(f)

The Parenthood Priority Scheme (PPS) helps first-time married couples with children who
meet the required conditions to purchase their first home. Under the PPS, 30% of the supply
of build-to-order flats and 50% of the supply of the sale-of-balance-flats will be set aside. This
is in addition to other priority schemes like the Third Child Priority Scheme, the Married Child
Priority Scheme and the Multi-Generation Priority Scheme.

Some of the measures above are part of the Enhanced Marriage and Parenthood Package
introduced in 2013 to encourage parenthood. The Enhanced Marriage and Parenthood Package
has a budget of S$2 billion a year.
Market for Cancer Services
Cancer is the principal cause of death (accounting for 30.5% of all deaths in 2013 (in 2013, there
were 18,938 deaths 1) and the second leading cause of hospitalisation (accounting for 5.9% of all
hospitalisations in 2013 (in 2013, there were approximately 491,000 total discharges 2) in
Singapore.
Public Sector
Cancer services in the public sector are usually provided in restructured hospitals such as the
National University Hospital, Singapore General Hospital, KK Womens and Childrens Hospital,
or polyclinics. The main competitive advantage of the public sector may be the lower set charges
and fees, and access to select direct and indirect subsidies. Subsidised patients which form the
bulk of consultations in restructured hospitals may not be entitled to choose their consultants and
the main disadvantage is that waiting time at public hospitals and polyclinics may be longer as
compared to private sector clinics.
Private Sector
The private sector for surgical cancer treatments is very fragmented, with many specialist medical
practitioners operating as sole practitioners. Many of these specialist medical practitioners are
located in clinics within private hospitals or shopping centres providing designed spaces for
medical and surgical suites. Waiting times to see private sector specialist medical practitioners
and the investigative procedures required to assist in their diagnosis and treatments are generally
shorter. As a result, private surgical specialist medical practitioners usually command a price

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


Between the years of 2009 and 2013, there have been, on average, 1,773 new breast cancer
cases, 329 new corpus uteri cancer cases, and 329 new ovary cancer cases, per year 1.
As Singapores population and affluence continues to grow, more people are likely to seek surgical
cancer treatments from private sector specialist medical practitioners. With the governments
emphasis on early detection, screening and the increasing number of public awareness
campaigns, more and more people are getting tested for cancers and seeking treatment earlier
rather than later.
TRENDS AND PROSPECTS
Our Directors are of the view that the demand for our healthcare services in Singapore is likely to
increase in the long term which may translate into higher demand for the services provided by the
Group, due to the following reasons:
(a)

Rising affluence and educational levels


Singapores economic progress in recent years has resulted in greater affluence of its
residents. Gross national income per capita (at current market prices) rose from
approximately S$40,767 in 2000 to approximately S$67,385 in 2013. 2 Such rising affluence,
together with improving educational standards, may lead to an increased awareness of, and
demand for, comprehensive and quality specialist healthcare services.

The total population may further grow to between 6.5 million and 6.9 million by 2030,
depending on various factors. 2
In addition, falling birth rates and increasing life expectancies may result in an ageing
population. At current birth rates and without immigration, the median age of Singapores
population will be around 47 years old in 2030 2, as compared to the current median age of
40. As the population of Singapore ages, there may be an increase in the incidences of
females suffering from certain diseases such as breast cancer which is more common in
women above 40 years old.
We believe that such changes in demography in Singapore are likely to increase the demand
for medical services.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP

Government initiatives
Singapore is a recognised regional medical hub which attracts many overseas patients
annually for excellent, accessible and a wide range of medical services. In addition,
SingaporeMedicine, a multi-agency government initiative was launched in 2003 to promote
and establish Singapore as one of Asias leading medical hubs. It is estimated that each year,
about 400,000 foreigners travel to Singapore to seek medical treatment. 1 We believe that the
Singapore governments efforts to promote Singapore as a medical hub will boost medical
travel and encourage more mothers-to-be to seek O&G treatment in Singapore.
Since 2001, the Singapore government has introduced initiatives to increase national birth
rates. In 2013, the Singapore government implemented the S$2 billion Enhanced Marriage
and Parenthood Package to promote parenthood. This could potentially encourage families
to have more children, which would increase the demand for our O&G services.

Our labour costs and costs of treatments, medical equipment and drugs is likely to remain stable,
while the rent on the properties leased by our Group may increase in the long term. Save as
disclosed above, and as disclosed in the section titled Risk Factors of this Offer Document and
barring any unforeseen circumstances, our Directors are not aware of any other significant recent
trends in the costs and selling prices of our treatment or any other known trends, uncertainties,
demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net
sales or revenue, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause financial
information disclosed in this Offer Document to be not necessarily indicative of our future
operating results or financial condition. Please also refer to the section titled Cautionary Note on
Forward-Looking Statements of this Offer Document.
SEASONALITY
We do not experience any significant seasonality patterns in our business, save that demand for
our obstetrics services tends to be higher in the Year of the Dragon, which is regarded by the
Chinese as the most auspicious in the almanac. In FY2014, our Group delivered approximately
1,462 babies. Historical national data 2 also shows significantly higher number of births in the Year
of the Dragon as set out in the table below. In addition, Singapore has experienced a general
increase in the number of live births from 2005 to 2013.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND FUTURE PLANS
(i)

Expand our business operations locally and regionally through organic growth, joint ventures
and acquisitions.
We intend to develop and expand our existing business operations by acquiring and/or
opening more clinics, particularly in areas where we are currently unrepresented. We intend
to utilise S$3,000,000 from the proceeds of this Invitation to acquire or establish new medical
clinics.
Beyond physical representation, our market presence, reputation and growth are directly
related to our ability to attract skilled and qualified healthcare professionals. We plan to hire
more healthcare professionals, especially O&G specialist medical practitioners, and hope to
attract and retain them by offering an initial patient load, good working conditions and
competitive remuneration packages.
In the longer term, we would like to have a regional presence. We are currently exploring the
possibility of partnering or entering into joint ventures with regional partners with the aim of
seconding specialist medical practitioners to work for a period of time in those countries
and/or developing and deploying a telemedicine model where we are able to provide medical
expertise remotely. In time, we may expand our presence in those countries by acquiring
local clinics, employing local specialist medical practitioners and/or establishing new clinics
in those countries. Countries which we see significant potential include Myanmar, IndoChina, Malaysia and certain parts of the PRC.

(ii)

Investments in healthcare professionals and synergistic businesses


To ensure that we are at the forefront of the industry, we intend to constantly upgrade our
Group by expanding our offering of specialist services available to patients. These additional
specialist services may include:

infertility and IVF services;

child care services;

paediatrics including neonatology; and

gynaecological cancer specialties.

We intend to achieve the foregoing expansion by investing in our healthcare professionals


and allowing them access to the latest technology, as well as to relevant developments and
training. In addition, we plan to provide them with sufficient opportunity and time to further
their own professional development and respective areas of expertise.
We also intend to offer ancillary goods and services to patients, such as quality goods that
are not easily available in Singapore. These may include a range of organic products, low
allergy supplements and niche products. These will be offered at competitive prices and may
be done so through the use of the internet and social media.

126

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP


We also intend to incorporate, partner or acquire medical ancillary services so that we can
offer a more holistic approach to patients through a combination of diagnostic, therapeutic
and custodial care. This may include the establishment of more clinics or the acquisition of
existing synergistic businesses such as provider of screening and imaging services.
(iii) Diversify and grow our patient base
We intend to diversify our patient base, which currently comprises mainly individual patients,
to include more corporate clients. To this end, we intend to customise and provide womens
healthcare packages targeted at corporate clients, including multinational corporations.
We believe that medical tourism in Singapore has tremendous potential for growth, due to the
rising level of economic growth and affluence in Asia and Singapores reputation as a
regional medical hub. We intend to attract more medical travellers by marketing ourselves in
selected ASEAN countries and PRC. We intend to undertake such marketing by setting up
overseas sales representative offices and/or establish a network of overseas sales agents in
such selected countries.

PROCEDURES

FOR

FUTURE

INTERESTED

PERSON

To ensure that future transactions with Interested Persons are undertaken on normal commercial
terms and are consistent with our Groups usual business practices and policies, which are
generally no more favourable than those extended to unrelated third parties, the following
procedures will be followed.
The Audit Committee comprising Independent Directors only shall approve and then review all
Interested Person Transactions on a quarterly basis.
In relation to any purchase of products or procurement of services by us from Interested Persons,
submissions from at least two (2) unrelated third parties in respect of the same or substantially the
same type of product or service will be used as comparison wherever possible. The Audit
Committee will take into account the suitability, quality, timeliness in delivery and cost of the
product or service, and the experience and expertise of the supplier. Transactions with such
Interested Persons shall not be on terms less favourable to our Group than those with unrelated
third parties.
In relation to any sale of products or provision of services by us to Interested Persons, the price
and terms of two (2) other completed transactions of the same or substantially the same type of
transactions to unrelated third parties are to be used as comparison wherever possible.
Transactions with such Interested Persons shall not be on terms less favourable to our Group than
those with unrelated third parties.
When renting properties from or to an interested person, our Audit Committee shall take
appropriate steps to ensure that such rent is commensurate with the prevailing market rates,
including adopting measures such as making relevant enquiries with landlords of similar
properties and obtaining suitable reports or reviews published by property agents (as necessary),
including independent valuation report by a property valuer, where necessary and/or appropriate.
The rent payable shall be based on the most competitive market rental rate of similar properties
in terms of size and location, based on the results of the relevant enquiries.

131

INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS


In the event that it is not possible for appropriate information (for comparative purposes) to be
obtained, our Audit Committee will determine whether the price, fees and/or the other terms
offered by or to the interested persons are fair and reasonable, and approve such interested
person transaction. In so determining, our Audit Committee will consider whether the price, fees
and/or other terms are in accordance with usual business practices and pricing policies and
consistent with the usual margins and/or terms to be obtained for the same or substantially similar
types of transactions to determine whether the relevant transaction is undertaken at an arms
length basis and on normal commercial terms.
All interested person transactions above S$100,000 are to be approved by a member of our Audit
Committee who shall not be an interested person in respect of the particular transaction. All
interested person transactions below S$100,000 are to be approved by our CEO for the time being
or such other senior executive(s) of our Company designated by our Audit Committee from time
to time for such purpose.
Any contracts to be made with an interested person shall not be approved unless the pricing is
determined in accordance with our usual business practices and policies, consistent with the
usual margin given or price received by us for the same or substantially similar type of
transactions between us and unrelated parties, and the terms are no more favourable to the
interested person than those extended to or received from unrelated parties.
In addition, we shall monitor all interested person transactions entered into by us categorising the
transactions as follows:
(a)

a category one interested person transaction is one where the value thereof is equal to or
in excess of three per cent. (3.0%) of the NTA of our Group; and

(b)

a category two interested person transaction is one where the value thereof is below three
per cent. (3.0%) of the NTA of our Group.

Category one interested person transactions must be approved by our Audit Committee prior to
entry. Category two interested person transactions need not be approved by our Audit
Committee prior to entry but shall be reviewed on a quarterly basis by our Audit Committee.
In respect of all interested person transactions, we shall adopt the following policies:
(a)

In the event that a member of our Audit Committee is interested in any interested person
transaction, he will abstain from deliberating, reviewing and/or approving that particular
transaction.

(b)

We shall maintain a register to record all interested person transactions which are entered
into by our Group, including any quotations obtained from unrelated parties to support the
terms of the interested person transactions.

(c)

We shall incorporate into our internal audit plan a review of all interested person transactions
entered into by our Group.

(d)

Our Audit Committee shall review the internal audit reports at least yearly to ensure that all
interested person transactions are carried out on an arms length basis and in accordance
with the procedures outlined above. Furthermore, if during these periodic reviews, our Audit
Committee believes that the guidelines and procedures as stated above are not sufficient to
ensure that the interests of minority Shareholders are not prejudiced, we will adopt new
guidelines and procedures. The Audit Committee may request for an independent financial
advisers opinion as it deems fit.
132

INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

involving themselves and our Group. In addition, such interested persons shall not act as proxies
in relation to such resolutions unless voting instructions have been given by the Shareholder(s).

SOG ESOS
On [] May 2015, our Shareholders approved a share option scheme known as the SOG
Employee Share Option Scheme (the SOG ESOS), the rules of which are set out in Appendix F
of this Offer Document. The SOG ESOS complies with the relevant rules as set out in Chapter 8
of the Listing Manual. The SOG ESOS will provide eligible participants with an opportunity to
participate in the equity of our Company and to motivate them towards better performance through
increased dedication and loyalty. The SOG ESOS, which forms an integral and important
component of a compensation plan, is designed to primarily reward and retain Executive
Directors, Non-executive Directors and Employees whose services are vital to our well-being and
success. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Options have been granted under the SOG ESOS.
Objectives of the SOG ESOS
The objectives of the SOG ESOS are as follows:
(a)

to motivate participants to optimise their performance standards and efficiency and to


maintain a high level of contribution to our Group;

(b)

to retain key Employees and Directors whose contributions are essential to the long-term
growth and profitability of our Group;

(c)

instill loyalty to, and a stronger identification by participants with the long-term prosperity of,
our Group;

(d)

to attract potential Employees with relevant skills to contribute to our Group and to create
value for our Shareholders; and

(e)

to align the interests of participants with the interests of our Shareholders.

Summary of the SOG ESOS


A summary of the rules of the SOG ESOS is set out as follows:
1.

Participants
Under the rules of the SOG ESOS, Executive Directors and Employees of our Group and our
associated companies (Group Employees) and Non-executive Directors (including our
Independent Directors) of our Group, are eligible to participate in the SOG ESOS. For this
purpose, a company is our associated company if we and/or our subsidiaries hold at least
20% but not more than 50% of the issued shares in that company and provided our Company
has control (as defined in the Listing Manual) over the associated company.
Group Employees and Non-executive Directors (including our Independent Directors) of our
Group who are also Controlling Shareholders or Associates of such Controlling Shareholders
are also eligible to participate in the SOG ESOS, subject to independent approval for each
grant to such a person.
Successful applicants for the New Shares under the offering, by subscribing for such shares,
agree that the participation by our Group Employees and Non-executive Directors (including
our Independent Directors) of our Group, including those who are also Controlling
Shareholders or Associates of such Controlling Shareholders, shall not require
Shareholders approval.

156

SOG ESOS
2.

Scheme administration
The SOG ESOS shall be administered by our Remuneration Committee, which has powers
to determine, inter alia, the following:
(a)

persons to be granted Options;

(b)

number of Options to be granted; and

(c)

recommendations for modifications to the SOG ESOS.

Our Remuneration Committee may consist of Directors (including Directors or persons who
may be participants of the SOG ESOS). A member of our Remuneration Committee who is
also a participant of the SOG ESOS must not be involved in its deliberation in respect of
Options granted or to be granted to him. Please refer to the section titled Corporate
Governance of this Offer Document.
3.

Size of the SOG ESOS


The aggregate number of shares over which our Remuneration Committee may grant
Options on any date, when added to the number of Shares issued and issuable or transferred
and to be transferred in respect of all Options granted under the SOG ESOS and the number
of Shares issued and issuable or transferred and to be transferred in respect of all Options
or awards granted under any other share Option schemes or share schemes of our
Company, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held
by our Company as treasury shares) on the day immediately preceding the date on which an
offer to grant an Option is made.
Our Company believes that this 15% limit gives our Company sufficient flexibility to decide
the number of Option Shares to offer to its existing and new Employees. The number of
eligible participants is expected to grow over the years. Our Company, in line with its goals
of ensuring sustainable growth, is constantly reviewing its position and considering the
expansion of its talent pool which may involve employing new Employees. The employee
base, and thus the number of eligible participants, will increase as a result. If the number of
Options available under the SOG ESOS is limited, our Company may only be able to grant
a small number of Options to each eligible participant which may not be a sufficiently
attractive incentive. Our Company is of the opinion that it should have sufficient number of
Options to offer to new Employees as well as to existing ones. The number of Options offered
must also be significant enough to serve as a meaningful reward for contributions to our
Group. However, it does not necessarily mean that our Remuneration Committee will
definitely issue Option Shares up to the prescribed limit. Our Remuneration Committee shall
exercise its discretion in deciding the number of Option Shares to be granted to each
Employee, which will depend on the performance and value of the Employee to our Group.

4.

Maximum entitlements
The aggregate number of Shares comprised in any Options to be offered to a grantee shall
be determined at the absolute discretion of our Remuneration Committee, which shall take
into account (where applicable) criteria such as rank, past performance, years of service and
potential for future development of that grantee.

157

SOG ESOS
5.

Options, exercise period and exercise price


The Options that are granted under the SOG ESOS may have exercise prices that are, at our
Remuneration Committees discretion, set at a price (the Market Price) equal to the
average of the last dealt prices for a Share on the Official List of the SGX-ST for the five (5)
consecutive market days immediately preceding the date on which an offer to grant an
Option is made or at a discount to the Market Price (subject to a maximum discount of 20%).
Options which are fixed at the Market Price (Market Price Option) may be exercised after
the first anniversary of the date on which an offer to grant that Option is made while Options
exercisable at a discount to the Market Price may be exercised after the second anniversary
from the date on which an offer to grant that Option is made (Incentive Option). Options
granted under the SOG ESOS will have a life span of up to ten (10) years.

6.

Grant of Options
Under the rules of the SOG ESOS, there are no fixed periods for the grant of Options. As
such, offers of the grant of Options may be made at any time from time to time at the
discretion of our Remuneration Committee. However, no Option shall be granted during the
period of 30 days immediately preceding the date of announcement of our Companys interim
or final results (as the case may be). In addition, in the event that an announcement on any
matter of an exceptional nature involving unpublished price sensitive information is
imminent, offers may only be made on or after the third market day from the date on which
the aforesaid announcement is made.

7.

Termination of Options
Special provisions in the rules of the SOG ESOS deal with the lapse or earlier exercise of
Options in circumstances which include the termination of the participants employment in
our Group, the bankruptcy of the participant, the death of the participant, a take-over of our
Company, and the winding-up of our Company.

8.

Acceptance of Options
The grant of Options shall be accepted within 30 days from the date of the offer. Offers of
Options made to grantees, if not accepted before the closing date, will lapse. Upon
acceptance of the offer, the grantee must pay our Company a consideration of S$1.00.

9.

Rights of shares arising


Subject to the prevailing legislation, our Company will deliver Shares to participants upon
exercise of their Options by way of either (i) an issue of new Shares; or (ii) a transfer of
Shares then held by our Company in treasury.
In determining whether to issue new Shares to participants upon exercise of their Options,
our 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 our Company of
issuing new Shares or delivering existing Shares.

158

SOG ESOS
The financial effects of the above methods are discussed below.
Shares arising from the exercise of Options are subject to the provisions of the Memorandum
and Articles of our Company. Shares allotted and issued, and existing Shares procured by
our Company for transfer, upon the exercise of an Option shall rank pari passu in all respects
with the then existing issued Shares, save for any dividends, rights, allotments or
distributions, the record date (Record Date) for which is prior to the relevant exercise date
of the Option. Record Date means the date as at the close of business on which
Shareholders must be registered in order to participate in any dividends, rights, allotments
or other distributions (as the case may be).
10. Duration of the SOG ESOS
The SOG ESOS shall continue in operation for a maximum duration of ten (10) years and
may be continued for any further period thereafter with the approval of our Shareholders by
ordinary resolution in general meeting and of any relevant authorities which may then be
required.
11.

Abstention from voting


Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the SOG ESOS are to abstain from voting on
any Shareholders resolution relating to the SOG ESOS 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 cast. In particular, all Shareholders who are eligible to
participate in the SOG ESOS shall abstain from voting on the following resolutions, where
applicable: (a) implementation of the SOG ESOS; (b) the maximum discount which may be
given in respect of any Option; and (c) grant of Options to Controlling Shareholders and their
Associates.

Grant of Options with a discounted exercise price


The ability to offer Options to participants of the SOG ESOS with exercise prices set at a discount
to the prevailing market prices of the Shares will operate as a means to recognise the performance
of participants as well as to motivate them to continue to excel while encouraging them to focus
more on improving the profitability and return of our Group above a certain level which will benefit
all Shareholders when these are eventually reflected through share price appreciation. The SOG
ESOS will also serve to recruit new group Employees whose contributions are important to the
long-term growth and profitability of our Group. Discounted Options would be perceived in a more
positive light by the participants, inspiring them to work hard and produce results in order to be
offered Options at a discount as only Employees who have made outstanding contributions to the
success and development of our Group would be granted Options at a discount.
At present, our Company foresees that Options may be granted with a discount principally in the
following circumstances:
(a)

Firstly, where it is considered more effective to reward and retain talented Employees by way
of a discounted price Option rather than a market price Option. This is to reward the
outstanding performers who have contributed significantly to our Groups performance and
the discounted price Option serves as additional incentives to such group Employees.
Options granted by our Company on the basis of market price may not be attractive and
realistic in the event of an overly buoyant market and inflated share prices. Hence, during
such period, the ability to offer such Options at a discount would allow our Company to grant

159

SOG ESOS
Options on a more realistic and economically feasible basis. Furthermore, options granted at
a discount will give an opportunity to group Employees to realise some tangible benefits even
if external events cause the share price to remain largely static.
(b)

Secondly, where it is more meaningful and attractive to acknowledge a participants


achievements through a discounted price Option rather than paying him a cash bonus. For
example, Options granted at a discount may be used to compensate Employees and to
motivate them during economic downturns when wages (including cash bonuses and annual
wage supplements) are frozen or cut, or they could be used to supplement cash rewards in
lieu of larger cash bonuses or annual wage supplements. Accordingly, it is possible that
merit-based cash bonuses or rewards may be combined with grants of market price Options
or discounted price Options, as part of eligible Employees compensation packages. The
SOG ESOS will provide group Employees with an incentive to focus more on improving the
profitability of our Group thereby enhancing Shareholder value when these are eventually
reflected through the price appreciation of the Shares after the vesting period.

(c)

Thirdly, where due to speculative forces and having regard to the historical performance of
the Share price, the market price of the Shares at the time of the grant of the Options may
not be reflective of financial performance indicators such as return on equity and/or earnings
growth.

Our Remuneration Committee will have the absolute discretion to grant Options where the
exercise price is discounted, to determine the level of discount (subject to a maximum discount of
20% of the Market Price) and the grantees to whom, and the Options to which, such discount in
the exercise price will apply provided that our Shareholders in general meeting shall have
authorised, in a separate resolution, the making of offers and grants of Options under the SOG
ESOS at a discount not exceeding the maximum discount as aforesaid.
In deciding whether to give a discount and the quantum of such discount (subject to the aforesaid
limit), our Remuneration Committee will have regard to the financial and other performance of our
Company and our Group, the years of service and individual performance of the grantee, the
contribution of the grantee to the success and development of our Group and the prevailing
market conditions.
Our Company may also grant Options without any discount to the market price. Additionally, our
Company may, if it deems fit, impose conditions on the exercise of the Options (whether such
Options are granted at the market price or at a discount to the market price), such as restricting
the number of Shares for which the Option may be exercised during the initial years following its
vesting.
Rationale for participation of Executive Directors and Employees of our associated
companies and Non-executive Directors (including our Independent Directors) of our
Group in the SOG ESOS
The extension of the SOG ESOS to Executive Directors and Employees of our associated
companies and Non-executive Directors (including our Independent Directors) of our Group
allows our Group to have a fair and equitable system to reward Directors and Employees who
have made and who continue to make significant contributions to the long-term growth of our
Group.

160

SOG ESOS
We believe that the SOG ESOS will also enable us to attract, retain and provide incentives to its
participants to achieve higher standards of performance as well as encourage greater dedication
and loyalty by enabling our Company to give recognition to past contributions and services as well
as motivating participants generally to contribute towards the long-term growth of our Group.
Although the Non-executive Directors are not involved in the day-to-day running of our Groups
business, they nonetheless play an invaluable role in furthering the business interests of our
Group by contributing their experience and expertise. The participation by the Non-executive
Directors in the SOG ESOS will provide our Company with a further avenue to acknowledge and
recognise their services and contributions to our Group as it may not always be possible to
compensate them fully or appropriately by increasing the directors fees or other forms of cash
payment.
In order to minimise any potential conflicts of interest and not to compromise the independence
of the Non-executive Directors, our Company intends to grant only a nominal number of Options
under the SOG ESOS to such Non-executive Directors.
Rationale for participation of Controlling Shareholders and their Associates in the SOG
ESOS
Although the Controlling Shareholders and their Associates already have shareholding interests
in our Company, our Directors are of the view that they should be provided an opportunity to
participate in the SOG ESOS as they have contributed significantly to the growth and performance
of our Group, and the opportunity to participate therein will further motivate and encourage them
to continue expending great energies towards the success of our Group. Options, unlike cash
bonuses, will additionally encourage such Controlling Shareholders and their Associates to take
a long term view of our Group, and will motivate them towards improving the return on equity as
this will affect the amount of benefit that they will ultimately derive from their participation in the
SOG ESOS. It is in the long-term interests of our Company to ensure that these Controlling
Shareholders and their Associates who are actively contributing to our Group be incentivised to
remain in and contribute to the growth and development of our Group. Their continued contribution
will benefit the Group.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Executive Chairman, Dr. Lee Keen Whye, and our Executive
Director, Dr. Heng Tung Lan, are the only Controlling Shareholders of our Company. Our CAO, Ms.
Heng Tong Bwee, is the sister of Dr. Heng Tung Lan, and is an Associate of Dr. Heng Tung Lan.
Specific approval for Ms. Heng Tong Bwee has been sought and obtained for her participation in
the SOG ESOS at the EGM held on [] May 2015.
Ms. Heng Tong Bwee is the CAO of our Company, and oversees, maintains and enhances the
administrative structure of the Group, including the supervision and management of the staff of the
Group, and the planning and implantation of various administrative systems of the Group. She has
been with our Group since the incorporation of our Company.
Our Directors believe that Ms. Heng Tong Bwee has been pivotal to our Groups success, and that
there is substantial potential future contribution that may be made by her.
Currently, Dr. Heng Tung Lan and Dr. Lee Keen Whye will not be participating in the SOG ESOS.
Any participation by Dr. Heng Tung Lan, Dr. Lee Keen Whye and/or Ms. Heng Tong Bwee in the
SOG ESOS, and each grant thereunder, will require specific prior approval of independent
Shareholders in a general meeting by way of a separate resolution.

SOG ESOS
Financial effects of the SOG ESOS
The SOG ESOS will increase our issued share capital to the extent of the new Shares that will be
issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options. Under the Financial Reporting Standard
102 on Share-based Payment (FRS 102), the fair value of employee services received in
exchange for the grant of the Options would be recognised as an expense. For equity-settled
share-based payment transactions, the total amount to be expensed in the income statement over
the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of each Options granted at the grant
date and the number of Options vested by vesting date, with a corresponding increase in equity.
Before the end of the vesting period, at each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates
of the number of Options that are expected to vest by the vesting date and recognises the impact
of this revision in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity. After the
vesting date, no adjustment to the income statement would be made. The proceeds net of any
directly attributable transaction costs are credited to the share capital when the Options are
exercised.
During the vesting period, the consolidated earnings per share would be reduced by both the
expenses recognised and the potential ordinary shares to be issued under the share Option
scheme. When the Options are exercised, the consolidated NTA will be increased by the amount
of cash received for exercise of the Options. On a per share basis, the effect is accretive if the
exercise price is above the net tangible assets per share but dilutive otherwise.
There will be no cash outlay expended by us at the time of grant of such Options as compared to
the payment of cash bonuses. However, as Shareholders may be aware, any Options granted to
subscribe for new shares (whether the exercise price is set at the market price of the shares at
the date of grant or otherwise) have a fair value at the time of grant. The fair value of an Option
is an estimate of the amount that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller for the Option on the
grant date. Options are granted to participants at a nominal consideration of S$1.00. Insofar as
such Options are granted at a consideration that is less than their fair value at the time of grant,
there will be a cost to our Company in that we will receive from the participant upon the grant of
the Option a consideration that is less than the fair value of the Option.
The following sets out the financial effects of the SOG ESOS.
(a)

Share capital
The SOG ESOS will result in an increase in our Companys issued share capital when new
Shares are issued to participants. The number of new Shares issued will depend on, inter
alia, the size of the Options granted under the SOG ESOS. Whether and when the Options
granted under the SOG ESOS will be exercised will depend on the exercise price of the
Options, when the Options will vest as well as the prevailing trading price of the Shares. In
any case, the SOG ESOS provides that the number of Shares to be issued or transferred
under the SOG ESOS, when aggregated with the aggregate number of Shares over which
Options or awards are granted under any other share Option schemes or share schemes of
our Company, will be subject to the maximum limit of 15% of our Companys total number of
issued Shares (excluding Shares held by our Company as treasury shares) from time to time.
If instead of issuing new Shares to participants, existing Shares are purchased for delivery
to participants, the SOG ESOS will have no impact on our Companys issued share capital.

162

SOG ESOS
(b)

NTA
As described in paragraph (c) below on EPS, the grant of Options will be recognised as an
expense, the amount of which will be computed in accordance with FRS 102. When new
Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of Options, there would be no effect on the NTA
due to the offsetting effect of expenses recognised and the increase in share capital.
However, if instead of issuing new Shares to participants, existing Shares are purchased for
delivery to participants, the NTA would be impacted by the cost of the Shares purchased.

(c)

EPS
Without taking into account earnings that may be derived by our Company from the use of
the proceeds from the issuance of Shares pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under
the SOG ESOS, any new Shares issued pursuant to any exercise of the Options will have a
dilutive impact on our Companys EPS.

(d)

Dilutive impact
The issuance of new Shares under the SOG ESOS will have a dilutive impact on our
consolidated EPS.

We have made an application to the SGX-ST for permission to deal in and for quotation of the
Option Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Options to be granted under the SOG
ESOS. The approval of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of our
Company, our subsidiaries, our Shares, the New Shares, the Option Shares or the Award Shares.

163

SOG PSP
On [] May 2015, our Shareholders approved a share scheme known as the SOG performance
share plan (the SOG PSP), the rules of which are set out in Appendix G of this Offer Document.
The SOG PSP complies with the relevant rules as set out in Chapter 8 of the Listing Manual.
Rationale for the SOG PSP
Our Directors have implemented the SOG PSP to increase our Companys flexibility and
effectiveness in its continuing efforts to reward, retain and motivate Employees and Non-executive
Directors to achieve increased performance. Our Directors believe that, in addition to the SOG
ESOS, the plan will further strengthen our Companys competitiveness in attracting and retaining
superior local and foreign talent.
The SOG PSP allows our Company to target specific performance objectives and to provide an
incentive for participants to achieve these targets. Our Directors believe that the plan will provide
our Company with a flexible approach to provide performance incentives to our staff and
Non-executive Directors and, consequently, to improve performance and achieve sustainable
growth for our Company in the changing business environment, and to foster a greater ownership
culture amongst key senior management, senior executives and Non-executive Directors.
Operation of the SOG PSP
Awards granted under the SOG PSP will be principally performance-based, incorporating an
element of stretched targets for senior executives and significantly stretched targets for key senior
management and Non-executive Directors aimed at delivering long-term Shareholder value.
The SOG PSP uses methods fairly common among major local and multinational companies to
incentivise and motivate senior executives and key senior management to achieve predetermined
targets which create and enhance economic value for Shareholders. Our Company believes that
the SOG PSP will be an effective tool in motivating senior executives, key senior management and
Non-executive Directors to work towards stretched goals.
The SOG PSP contemplates the award of fully paid Shares, when and after pre-determined
performance or service conditions are accomplished.
A participants award under the SOG PSP will be determined at the sole discretion of our
Remuneration Committee. In considering an award to be granted to a participant who is an
Employee, our Remuneration Committee may take into account, inter alia, the participants
capability, creativity, entrepreneurship, innovativeness, scope of responsibility and skills set. In
considering an award to be granted to a participant who is a Non-executive Director, our
Remuneration Committee may take into account, inter alia, the services and contributions made
to the growth of our Group, attendance and participation in meetings and the years of service.
Awards granted under the SOG PSP are principally performance-based with performance targets
to be set over a performance period and may vary from one performance period to another
performance period and from one grant to another grant. Performance targets set by our
Remuneration Committee are intended to be based on medium-term corporate objectives
covering market competitiveness, quality of returns, business growth and productivity growth.
Such performance targets and performance periods will be set according to the specific roles of
each participant, and may differ from participant to participant. The performance targets are
stretched targets aimed at sustaining long-term growth. These targets will be tied in with our
Companys corporate key performance indicators.

164

SOG PSP
Currently, it is envisaged that only key Executive Directors and Executive Officers may be granted
awards under the SOG PSP which will have certain of their performance targets that are market
conditions, such as performance of our Companys share price during the performance period.
This is because key Executive Directors and Executive Officers are responsible in formulating,
driving and executing our Groups strategy which is one of the factors affecting a companys
market valuation.
Examples of non-market performance targets which may be included as a performance target for
a grant of award include, inter alia, profitability of a particular construction project of our Group,
safety record of a construction project of our Group and completion of construction projects in
accordance with the project schedule.
Under the SOG PSP, participants are encouraged to continue serving our Group beyond the
achievement date of the pre-determined performance targets. Our Remuneration Committee has
the discretion to impose a further vesting period after the performance period to encourage the
participant to continue serving our Group for a further period of time.
Maximum Limits on Shares
In order to reduce the dilutive impact of the SOG PSP, the maximum number of Shares issuable
or to be transferred by our Company under the SOG PSP, when aggregated with the aggregate
number of Shares over which Options or awards are granted under any other share option
schemes or share schemes of our Company, will be 15% of our Companys total number of issued
Shares (excluding Shares held by our Company as treasury shares) from time to time.
Summary of the SOG PSP
A summary of the rules of the SOG PSP is set out as follows:
1.

Eligibility
Executive Directors and Employees of our Group and our associated companies who have
attained the age of twenty-one (21) years and hold such rank as may be designated by our
Remuneration Committee from time to time, and Non-executive Directors (including our
Independent Directors) of our Group, shall be eligible to participate in the SOG PSP. For this
purpose, a company is our associated company if we and/or our subsidiaries hold at least
20% but not more than 50% of the issued shares in that company and provided our Company
has control (as defined in the Listing Manual) over the associated company.
Controlling Shareholders of our Company or Associates of such Controlling Shareholders are
also eligible to participate in the SOG PSP, subject to independent approval for each grant
to such a person.
Successful applicants for the New Shares under the offering, by subscribing for such shares,
agree that the participation by Controlling Shareholders of our Company or Associates of
such Controlling Shareholders, shall not require Shareholders approval.

165

SOG PSP
2.

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 our Remuneration Committee
in the award letter), except to the extent approved by our Remuneration Committee.

3.

Participants
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 SOG PSP shall be determined at the
absolute discretion of our Remuneration Committee, which shall take into account criteria
such as his rank, job performance, creativity, innovativeness, entrepreneurship, years of
service and potential for future development, his contribution to the success and
development of our Group and, if applicable, the extent of effort and resourcefulness
required to achieve the performance target(s) within the performance period.

4.

Details of Awards
Our 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 our Remuneration Committee may determine in relation to
that award.

Our Remuneration Committee may consist of Directors (including Directors or persons who
may be participants of the SOG PSP). A member of our Remuneration Committee who is also
a participant of the SOG PSP must not be involved in its deliberation in respect of awards
granted or to be granted to him.

166

SOG PSP
5.

Timing
While our 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.

6.

Events Prior to Vesting


Special provisions for the vesting and lapsing of awards apply in certain circumstances
including the following:
(a)

the misconduct on the part of a participant as determined by our Remuneration


Committee in its discretion;

(b)

the participant ceasing to be in the employment of our Group for any reason whatsoever
(other than as specified in paragraph (e) below);

(c)

an order being made or a resolution passed for the winding-up of our Company on the
basis, or by reason, of its insolvency;

(d)

the bankruptcy of a participant or the happening of any other event which results in his
being deprived of the legal or beneficial ownership of the award;

(e)

the participant ceases to be in the employment of our Group by reason of:


(1)

ill health, injury or disability (in each case, evidenced to the satisfaction of our
Remuneration Committee);

(2)

redundancy;

(3)

retirement at or after the legal retirement age;

(4)

retirement before the legal retirement age with the consent of our Remuneration
Committee;

(5)

the company by which he is employed or to which he is seconded, as the case may


be, ceasing to be a company within our Group, or the undertaking or part of the
undertaking of such company being transferred otherwise than to another
company within our Group, as the case may be;

(6)

any other event approved by our Remuneration Committee;

(f)

any other event approved by our Remuneration Committee; or

(g)

a take-over, reconstruction or amalgamation of our Company or an order being made or


a resolution passed for the winding-up of our Company (other than as provided in
paragraph (c) above or for amalgamation or reconstruction).
167

SOG PSP
Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), an award
then held by a participant shall, subject as provided in the rules of the SOG PSP and to the
extent not yet released, immediately lapse without any claim whatsoever against our
Company.
Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) above, our
Remuneration Committee may, in its absolute discretion, preserve all or any part of any
award and decide either to vest some or all of the Shares which are the subject of the award
or to preserve all or part of any award until the end of the relevant performance period. In
exercising its discretion, our Remuneration Committee will have regard to all circumstances
on a case-by-case basis, including (but not limited to) the contributions made by that
participant and, in the case of performance-related awards, the extent to which the
applicable performance conditions and targets have been satisfied.
Upon the occurrence of the events specified in paragraph (g) above, our Remuneration
Committee will consider, at its discretion, whether or not to release any award, and will take
into account all circumstances on a case-by-case basis, including (but not limited to) the
contributions made by that participant. If our Remuneration Committee decides to release
any award, then in determining the number of Shares to be vested in respect of such award,
our Remuneration Committee will have regard to the proportion of the performance period
which has elapsed and the extent to which the applicable performance conditions and targets
have been satisfied.
7.

Size and Duration of the SOG PSP


The total number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted
under the SOG PSP, when aggregated with the aggregate number of Shares over which
options are granted under any other share option schemes of our Company, shall not exceed
15% of the total number issued Shares (excluding Shares held by our Company as treasury
shares) from time to time.
The SOG PSP shall continue in force at the discretion of our Remuneration Committee,
subject to a maximum period of ten (10) years commencing on the date on which the SOG
PSP is adopted by our Company in general meeting, provided always that the SOG 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 SOG PSP, any awards made to participants
prior to such expiry or termination will continue to remain valid.

8.

Operation of the SOG PSP


Subject to the prevailing legislation, our Company will deliver Shares to participants upon
vesting of their awards by way of either (i) an issue of new Shares; or (ii) a transfer of Shares
then held by our Company in treasury.
In determining whether to issue new Shares to participants upon vesting of their awards, our
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 our Company of
issuing new Shares or delivering existing Shares.

168

SOG PSP
The financial effects of the above methods are discussed below.
New Shares allotted and issued and existing Shares procured by our 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.
Our Remuneration Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether the
performance condition has been satisfied (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and in
making any such determination, our Remuneration Committee shall have the right to make
computational adjustments to the audited results of our Company or our Group, to take into
account such factors as our Remuneration Committee may determine to be relevant, such as
changes in accounting methods, taxes and extraordinary events, and further, the right to
amend the performance target(s) if our Remuneration Committee decides that a changed
performance target would be a fairer measure of performance.
9.

Abstention from voting


Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the SOG PSP are to abstain from voting on
any Shareholders resolution relating to the SOG 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 cast. In particular, all Shareholders who are eligible to participate
in the SOG PSP shall abstain from voting on the following resolutions, where applicable: (a)
implementation of the SOG PSP; and (b) grant of awards to Controlling Shareholders and
their Associates.

Adjustments and Alterations under the SOG PSP


The following describes the adjustment events under, and provisions relating to alterations of, the
SOG PSP.
1.

Adjustment events
If a variation in the issued ordinary share capital of our Company (whether by way of a
capitalisation of profits or reserves or rights issue, reduction, subdivision, consolidation or
distribution, or otherwise) shall take place, then:
(a)

the class and/or number of Shares which are the subject of an award to the extent not
yet vested; and/or

(b)

the class and/or number of Shares over which future awards may be granted under the
SOG PSP,

shall be adjusted in such manner as our Remuneration Committee may determine to be


appropriate, provided that no adjustment shall be made if as a result, the participant receives
a benefit that a Shareholder does not receive.
The issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition or a private placement of securities
or the cancellation of issued Shares purchased or acquired by our Company by way of a
market purchase of such Shares undertaken by our Company on the SGX-ST during the

169

SOG PSP
period when a share purchase mandate granted by Shareholders (including any renewal of
such mandate) is in force shall not normally be regarded as a circumstance requiring
adjustment, unless our Remuneration Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate.
Any adjustment (except in relation to a capitalisation issue) must be confirmed in writing by
our Companys auditors (acting only as experts and not as arbitrators) to be, in their opinion,
fair and reasonable.
2.

Modifications or alterations to the SOG PSP


The SOG PSP may be modified and/or altered from time to time by a resolution of our
Remuneration Committee subject to the prior approval of the SGX-ST and such other
regulatory authorities as may be necessary.
However, no modification or alteration shall adversely affect the rights attached to awards
granted prior to such modification or alteration except with the written consent of such
number of participants under the SOG PSP who, if their awards were released to them, would
thereby become entitled to not less than three-quarters in number of all the Shares which
would be issued or transferred in full of all outstanding awards under the SOG PSP.
No alteration shall be made to particular rules of the SOG PSP to the advantage of the
holders of the awards except with the prior approval of Shareholders in general meeting.

Rationale for participation of Executive Directors and Employees of our associated


companies and Non-executive Directors (including our Independent Directors) of our
Group in the SOG PSP
The extension of the SOG PSP to Executive Directors and Employees of our associated
companies and Non-executive Directors (including our Independent Directors) of our Group
allows our Group to have a fair and equitable system to reward Directors and Employees who
have made and who continue to make significant contributions to the long-term growth of our
Group.
We believe that the SOG PSP will also enable us to attract, retain and provide incentives to its
participants to achieve higher standards of performance as well as encourage greater dedication
and loyalty by enabling our Company to give recognition to past contributions and services as well
as motivating participants generally to contribute towards the long-term growth of our Group.
Although the Non-executive Directors are not involved in the day-to-day running of our Groups
business, they, nonetheless, play an invaluable role in furthering the business interests of our
Group by contributing their experience and expertise. The participation by the Non-executive
Directors in the SOG PSP will provide our Company with a further avenue to acknowledge and
recognise their services and contributions to our Group as it may not always be possible to
compensate them fully or appropriately by increasing the directors fees or other forms of cash
payment.
In order to minimise any potential conflicts of interest and not to compromise the independence
of the Non-executive Directors, our Company intends to grant only a nominal number of options
under the SOG PSP to such Non-executive Directors.

170

SOG PSP
Rationale for participation of Controlling Shareholders and their Associates in the SOG
PSP
Although the Controlling Shareholders and their Associates already have shareholding interests
in our Company, our Directors are of the view that they should be provided an opportunity to
participate in the SOG PSP as they have contributed significantly to the growth and performance
of our Group, and the opportunity to participate therein will further motivate and encourage them
to continue expending great energies towards the success of our Group. Awards will additionally
encourage such Controlling Shareholders and their Associates to achieve performance targets as
this will affect the amount of benefit that they will ultimately derive from their participation in the
SOG PSP. It is in the long-term interests of our Company to ensure that these Controlling
Shareholders and their Associates who are actively contributing to our Group be incentivised to
remain in and contribute to the growth and development of our Group. Their continued contribution
will benefit the Group.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Executive Chairman, Dr. Lee Keen Whye, and our Executive
Director, Dr. Heng Tung Lan, are the only Controlling Shareholders of our Company. Our CAO, Ms.
Heng Tong Bwee, is the sister of Dr. Heng Tung Lan, and is an Associate of Dr. Heng Tung Lan.
Specific approval for Ms. Heng Tong Bwee has been sought and obtained for her participation in
the SOG PSP at the EGM held on [] May 2015.
Ms. Heng Tong Bwee is the CAO of our Company, and oversees, maintains and enhances the
administrative structure of the Group, including the supervision and management of the staff of the
Group, and the planning and implantation of various administrative systems of the Group. She has
been with our Group since the incorporation of our Company.
Our Directors believe that Ms. Heng Tong Bwee has been pivotal to our Groups success, and that
there is substantial potential future contribution that may be made by her.
Currently, Dr. Heng Tung Lan and Dr. Lee Keen Whye will not be participating in the SOG PSP.
Any participation by Dr. Heng Tung Lan, Dr. Lee Keen Whye and/or Ms. Heng Tong Bwee in the
SOG PSP, and each grant thereunder, will require specific prior approval of independent
Shareholders in a general meeting by way of a separate resolution.
Financial effects of the SOG PSP
The SOG PSP is considered a share-based payment that falls under FRS 102 where participants
will receive Shares and the awards would be accounted for as equity-settled share-based
transactions, as described in the following paragraphs.
The fair value of employee services received in exchange for the grant of the awards would be
recognised as a charge to the income statement over the period between the grant date and the
vesting date of an award. The fair value per share of the awards granted will be determined using
an option pricing model. The significant inputs into the option pricing model will include, inter alia,
the share price as at the date of grant of the award, the risk free interest rate, the vesting period,
volatility of the share and dividend yield. The total amount of the charge over the vesting period
is determined by reference to the fair value of each award granted at the grant date and the
number of Shares vested at the vesting date, with a corresponding credit to the reserve account.
Before the end of the vesting period, at each accounting year end, the estimate of the number of

171

SOG PSP
awards that are expected to vest by the vesting date is revised, and the impact of the revised
estimate is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to the reserve
account. After the vesting date, no adjustment to the charge to the income statement is made.
The amount charged to the income statement also depends on whether or not the performance
target attached to an award is measured by reference to the market price of the Shares. This is
known as a market condition. If the performance target is a market condition, the probability of the
performance target being met is taken into account in estimating the fair value of the award
granted at the grant date, and no adjustments to the amounts charged to the income statement
are made whether or not the market condition is met. However, if the performance target is not a
market condition, the fair value per share of the awards granted at the grant date is used to
compute the amount to be charged to the income statement at each accounting date, based on
an assessment by our Financial Controller at that date of whether the non-market conditions
would be met to enable the awards to vest. Thus, where the vesting conditions do not include a
market condition, there would be no cumulative charge to the income statement if the awards do
not ultimately vest.
The following sets out the financial effects of the SOG PSP.
(a)

Share capital
The SOG PSP will result in an increase in our Companys issued share capital when new
Shares are issued to participants. The number of new Shares issued will depend on, inter
alia, the size of the awards granted under the SOG PSP. In any case, the SOG PSP provides
that the number of Shares to be issued or transferred under the SOG PSP, when aggregated
with the aggregate number of Shares over which options are granted under any other share
option schemes of our Company, will be subject to the maximum limit of 15% of our
Companys total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held by our Company as
treasury shares) from time to time. If instead of issuing new Shares to participants, existing
Shares are purchased for delivery to participants, the SOG PSP will have no impact on our
Companys issued share capital.

(b)

NTA
As described in paragraph (c) below on EPS, the SOG PSP is likely to result in a charge to
our Companys income statement over the period from the grant date to the vesting date of
the awards. The amount of the charge will be computed in accordance with FRS 102. When
new Shares are issued under the SOG PSP, there would be no effect on the NTA due to the
offsetting effect of expenses recognised and the increase in share capital. However, if
instead of issuing new Shares to participants, existing Shares are purchased for delivery to
participants, the NTA would be impacted by the cost of the Shares purchased. It should be
noted that the delivery of Shares to participants under the SOG PSP will generally be
contingent upon the eligible participants meeting prescribed performance targets and
conditions.

(c)

EPS
The SOG PSP is likely to result in a charge to earnings over the period from the grant date
to the vesting date, computed in accordance with FRS 102.

172

SOG PSP
It should again be noted that the delivery of Shares to participants of the SOG PSP will
generally be contingent upon the participants meeting the prescribed performance targets
and conditions.
(d)

Dilutive impact
The issuance of new Shares under the SOG PSP will have a dilutive impact on our
consolidated EPS.

We have made an application to the SGX-ST for permission to deal in and for quotation of the
Award Shares which may be issued upon the release of the share awards to be granted under the
SOG PSP. The approval of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of our
Company, our subsidiaries, our Shares, the New Shares, the Option Shares or the Award Shares.
Disclosures in Annual Reports
Our Company will make such disclosures in our annual report for so long as the SOG ESOS or

177

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
the internal controls established and maintained by our Group, work performed by the internal and
external auditors, and reviews by our Board and our Audit Committee, is of the view that we have
adequate and effective risk management and internal control systems, including financial,
operational, compliance and informational technology controls. In the event and prior to the
decommissioning of such an internal audit, our Board is required to report to the SGX-ST and the
Sponsor, Issue Manager, Underwriter and Placement Agent on how the key internal control
weaknesses have been rectified, and the basis for the decision to decommission the internal
control audit. Thereafter, such audits may be initiated by the Audit Committee as and when it
deems fit to satisfy itself that our Groups internal controls remain robust and effective. Upon
completion of the internal control audit, appropriate disclosure must be made via SGXNET on any
material, price-sensitive internal control weaknesses and any follow-up actions to be taken by our
Board.
Our Audit Committee and the Sponsor, Issue Manager, Underwriter and Placement Agent have (a)

working experience, which is set out in the section titled Directors, Executive Officers and
Employees Executive Officers of this Offer Document; and (c) not received negative feedback
from our Auditors and Reporting Accountants. As such, our Audit Committee and the Sponsor,
Issue Manager, Underwriter and Placement Agent are of the view that Mr. Eric Choo is suitable for
the position of FC of our Group.
Our Audit Committee has made all reasonable enquiries and to the best of their knowledge and
belief, nothing has come to the attention of the members of our Audit Committee to cause them
to believe that Mr. Eric Choo does not have the competence, character and integrity expected of
a FC of a listed issuer.
POLICIES
Our Board has put in place the following policies.
The SOG Values
The SOG Values are based upon a number of important principles and capture qualities that
each Employee is encouraged to embody as an essential part of our success:

Vision & Passion you need goals and you need to want to achieve them

Honour & Integrity the heart of our culture

Learning & Continual Improvement value add is key

Patient & Market focused delivering on promises

Giving something back to society this includes promoting ourselves and others as
sustainable businesses

It is a cornerstone of our ethos that our Group is a meritocracy, where all Employees are
recognised and rewarded on the basis of their performance, effort, contribution and achievements.
Our Group does not discriminate on the basis of gender, disability, genetics, nationality,
pregnancy, race, religion, sexuality or otherwise.

178

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
It is also a cornerstone of our ethos that our Group gives back something to the society in which
it operates and lives. This may be in the form of services, monies and ideas.
Last but not least, our Group believes that actions speak louder than words and to this end, our
Directors will start each financial year by formulating non-financial key performance indicators that
our Group will seek to meet.
SOG Code of Ethics
Our Group and our Board seek to conduct our business in an ethical manner and in compliance
with best practices. As a result, we have developed a code of ethics that we expect to continue
to refine with various stakeholders (the Code of Ethics). The underlying principle of the Code
of Ethics is that we expect our management and our staff to act with integrity towards those with
whom we have business dealings, to the people in the society where we do business and towards
each other. The Code of Ethics is over and above the SMC Ethical Code and is designed to cover
areas not covered by the SMC Ethical Code, especially in the business and finance dealings of
our Group. The Code of Ethics outlines how this principle is to be applied. Our systems and
processes are based on:

management and staff understanding that they are responsible and accountable for their own
actions;

dealing honestly towards our investors, patients and customers, subcontractors, suppliers
and other stakeholders, and not engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct;

treating all persons with dignity and in a manner that provides equal access and/or
opportunity to all and which prevents harassment or discrimination;

respecting and complying with all applicable laws, regulations and local customs relating to
behavioural and ethical practices, including consumer protection, trade practices, local
social norms and operational health & safety matters; and

where possible avoiding conflicts of interest and where not possible having adequate
disclosure and obtaining the required approvals.

Our Directors and Executive Officers shall:

ensure that the Group maximises Shareholders wealth in a:

law abiding;

socially acceptable;

environmentally sustainable; and

ethical and responsible manner;

provide Shareholders with adequate information through announcements and other


materials so that the Shareholders can exercise their voting rights in an informed and
responsible manner and in particular with respect to their appointment of Directors who have
the experience and the commitment to the Group and who can perform their functions in a
professional, ethical and responsible manner;

strive to find a fair balance between capital and labour, so that workers receive fair
compensation for their work; and
179

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

strive to find a fair balance between what is taken from the society and what is given back
to society, so the wider society benefits.

In the exercise of their respective functions, our Directors and Executive Officers shall:

view our Group from a medium and long-term perspective and not a short-term employment
or money making opportunity;

act in a professional, ethical and responsible manner and in particular, seek to avoid conflicts
of interest and where such conflicts are unavoidable, seek to resolve them in a transparent
manner and in favour of our Group;

comply and ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and local customs
relating to behavioural and ethical practices, including consumer protection, trade practices,
local social norms and operational health and safety matters;

comply with accounting standards and establish effective internal and external controls;

comply and ensure compliance with our Groups Code of Ethics;

provide Shareholders with adequate information about the Group and promote Shareholders
participation and ensure that there are successors to continue the management of the Group;

to act responsibly and reasonably to customers, sub-contractors, suppliers and providers of


capital and wherever possible, to choose business relationships that further the objectives of
our Groups Code of Ethics;

to treat all persons, including Employees, fairly and with dignity and in a manner that
provides equal access and/or opportunity to all and which prevents harassment or
discrimination;

wherever possible to promote the interest of the society in which our Group operates; and

inform our Employees of their rights and responsibilities.

Our Employees should be aware of their rights and responsibilities and understand that they are
accountable for their actions.
Employee rights shall include:

being treated with dignity, respect and in a culturally appropriate manner;

being employed in an operationally safe environment;

not being discriminated against (whether because of gender, disability, genetics, nationality,
pregnancy, race, religion, sexuality or otherwise), harassed or being placed in a position of
abuse or violence;

being paid a fair remuneration for the job done or responsibility assumed; and

180

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

the right to communicate with our management in matters where they feel their rights have
been breached and the Lead Independent Director or the Chairman of the Audit Committee,
in private, where our Groups whistleblowing policy applies.

Employee responsibilities shall include:

abiding with all relevant laws and promoting the Code of Ethics of the Group;

not abusing or using our Groups assets and resources for their own benefit;

dealing fairly and honestly towards our Groups customers, subcontractors and suppliers,
and not engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct; and

treating all persons with dignity and respect.

In addition and complementary to our Code of Ethics, our Groups Medical Advisory Committee
assists the Board in setting medical and drug policies and procedures, and undertakes
performance and peer reviews of all medical professionals within the Group.
Risk Management Policy
Our Group shall proactively manage our:

financial risks by ensuring that we understand our investment risk profile, our cash flow
profile, our funding and debt profile and by spreading our risk such that there are no major
concentrations in either investment or debt;

policy risks by documenting, communicating and monitoring such policies; and

operational risks through its Medical Advisory Committee.

Our Board and our Audit Committee intend to monitor and oversee the management of our Group.
Legal and Compliance Risk
Due to the nature of our Groups business, our Group is required to comply with a myriad of
relevant legislations and regulations that include those of MOH, SMC, related professional
institutes and the SGX-ST. Our Groups business may be adversely affected if we breach any of
these regulations. Given the severe consequences of a breach, our Group has established a
Medical Advisory Committee to monitor and comply with the various applicable medical
regulations.
Dividend Risk
Our Group is committed to maintaining a high dividend. Our Group intends to proactively manage
this risk. This shall include managing our cash flow and debt levels and finding and maintaining
diverse funding lines. Our Group intends to minimise off balance sheet and contingent liabilities
and to only use sophisticated financial instruments selectively. Please refer to the section titled
Dividend Policy of this Offer Document.

181

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Human Resource Risk
In order to deliver superior returns to Shareholders and members, our Group intends to invest in
human capital by recruiting and retaining Employees with the relevant expertise, skills and
professionalism. Our Group views a high turnover rate of valued Employees as detrimental and
disruptive and undermines the implementation of our Groups strategic business plans.
The Group shall adopt a human resource policy based on an integrated human capital strategy to
recruit, develop and motivate quality Employees. Our Group intends to use the SOG ESOS and
SOG PSP to recruit, retain and incentivise Employees. Our Group intends to develop a culture of
being both professional and fun to retain and motivate talents.
Interested Person Transaction Risk
The Board has established internal control procedures for interested person transactions. Please
refer to the section titled Interested Person Transactions Guidelines and Review Procedures for
Future Interested Person Transactions of this Offer Document.
Whistleblowing Policy
Our Group is committed to maintaining high standards of honesty, openness and accountability.
Our Group takes all malpractice very seriously, whether it is committed by an Employee, supplier,
customer, competitor or contractor. As Employees will usually be the first to know when someone
inside or connected with our Group is doing something illegal, dishonest or improper, our Group
has adopted a whistleblowing policy to alleviate any apprehension that Employees may feel about
voicing their concerns. Our Board believes that it is in the interest of our Group to have prompt
knowledge of such illegal, dishonest or improper activities.
As such, our Group has adopted a whistleblowing policy which will be disseminated to our
Employees, contractors, agents and consultants. Any information received will be examined
carefully and if it has merit will be acted on. The whistleblower can be assured that our Group
intends to protect our business and reputation.
Privacy Policy
In the course of our operations, our Group is required to collect and retain personal information
of our patients. In line with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (No. 26 of 2012) and the SMCs
Ethical Code and Ethical Guidelines, our Group respects the right to privacy of our patients and
has put in place a privacy policy to address how such information which can identify any individual
is treated. Such personal information will be used in providing our service, and may also be used
to improve our service and to notify individuals of opportunities which they may be interested in.
No personal information is provided to third parties except where necessary to our business
partners who assist us in the provision of our services to our patients.
BOARD PRACTICES
Our Directors are appointed by our Shareholders at a general meeting, and an election of
Directors takes place annually. One third (or the number nearest one third) of our Directors, are
required to retire from office at each annual general meeting. Further, all our Directors are
required to retire from office at least once every three (3) years. However, a retiring Director is
eligible for re-election at the meeting at which he retires. Further details on the appointment and
retirement of Directors can be found in the section titled Summary of Selected Articles of
Association of our Company as set out in Appendix D of this Offer Document.

amended from time to time.
Our Shares will be registered in the name of CDP or its nominee and held by CDP for and on
behalf of persons who maintain, either directly or through depository agents, Securities Accounts
with CDP. Persons named as direct Securities Account holders and depository agents in the

Persons holding the Shares in Securities Accounts with CDP may withdraw the number of Shares
they own from the book-entry settlement system in the form of physical share certificates. Such
share certificates will, however, not be valid for delivery pursuant to trades transacted on Catalist
although they will be prima facie evidence of title and may be transferred in accordance with our
Articles. A fee of S$10 for each withdrawal of 1,000 Shares or less and a fee of S$25 for each
withdrawal of more than 1,000 Shares is payable upon withdrawing the Shares from the
book-entry settlement system and obtaining physical share certificates. In addition, a fee of S$2
or such other amount as our Directors may decide, is payable to the share registrar for each share
certificate issued and a stamp duty of S$10 is also payable where our Shares are withdrawn in the
name of the person withdrawing our Shares or S$0.20 per S$100 or part thereof of the
last-transacted price where it is withdrawn in the name of a third party. Persons holding physical
share certificates who wish to trade on Catalist must deposit with CDP their share certificates
together with the duly executed and stamped instruments of transfer in favour of CDP, and have
their respective Securities Accounts credited with the number of Shares deposited before they can
effect the desired trades. A fee of S$10 is payable upon the deposit of each instrument of transfer
with CDP. The above fees may be subject to such changes as may be in accordance with CDPs
prevailing policies or the current tax policies that may be in force in Singapore from time to time.
Pursuant to announced rules effective from 2 May 2014, transfers and settlements pursuant to
on-exchange trades will be charged a fee of S$30 and transfers and settlements pursuant to
off-exchange trades will be charged a fee of 0.015% of the value of the transaction, subject to a
minimum of S$75.
Transactions in the Shares under the book-entry settlement system will be reflected by the sellers
Securities Account being debited with the number of Shares sold and the buyers Securities
Account being credited with the number of Shares acquired. No transfer of stamp duty is payable
for the Shares that are settled on a book-entry basis.
A Singapore clearing fee for trades in our Shares on Catalist is payable at the rate of 0.0325%.
The clearing fee, instrument of transfer deposit fee and share withdrawal fee may be subject to
GST at 7.0% (or such other rate prevailing from time to time).
Dealings of our Shares will be carried out in Singapore dollars and will be effected for settlement
on CDP on a scripless basis. Settlement of trades on a normal ready basis on Catalist generally
takes place on the third Market Day following the transaction date, and payment for the securities
is generally settled on the following business day. CDP holds securities on behalf of investors in
Securities Accounts. An investor may open a direct account with CDP or a sub-account with a CDP
agent. The CDP agent may be a member company of the SGX-ST, bank, merchant bank or trust
company.

The Board of Directors
Singapore O&G Ltd.

Dear Sirs:
Report on the Combined Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Singapore O&G Ltd. (the
Company); formerly known as Singapore Medicine Specialists Pte. Ltd.) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the Group), which comprise the combined statements of financial position as at 31
December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the combined statements of comprehensive income,
combined statements of changes in equity and combined statements of cash flows for the financial
years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Managements responsibility for the combined financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair
view in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, 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 profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets.
Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of combined financial
statements that give a true and fair view 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

A-4

APPENDIX A AUDITED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF


SINGAPORE O&G LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE FINANCIAL
YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012, 2013 AND 2014
entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying combined financial statements are properly drawn up in
accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards to present fairly, in all material
respects, the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, and the
results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group for the financial years then ended.
Other Matters
This report has been prepared solely for inclusion in the Offer Document of the Company in
connection with the initial public offering of ordinary shares of the Company on Catalist, the
sponsor-supervised listing platform of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. We do
not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3.1 Basis of preparation


The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Singapore
Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) including related Interpretations promulgated by the
Accounting Standards Council.
The combined financial information has been prepared for inclusion in filings associated with
a proposed listing of the Companys shares on the Catalist board, the sponsor-supervised
board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.
The combined financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention
except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The combined financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars (SGD), which is the
Companys functional currency. All financial information has been presented in SGD, unless
otherwise stated.
This is the Groups first combined financial statements prepared in accordance with FRS 101
First-time Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards has been applied.
Although the Restructuring Exercise was completed on 11 February 2014, the combined
financial statements presented for the financial years ended 31 December 2012 and 2013 for
the purpose of inclusion in the Offer Document are that of the Company and its subsidiaries
prepared in accordance with RAP 12 Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations
for financial statements prepared under Part IX of the Fifth Schedule to the Securities and
Futures (Offers of Investments) (Shares and Debentures) Regulations 2005.
A key policy choice in the combined financial statements relates to the method of
consolidation. A business combination is a common control combination if the combining
entities are ultimately controlled by the same party (including the same individual
shareholder or a group of shareholders acting together in accordance with a contractual
arrangement) both before and after the combination and the common control is not transitory.
For the purposes of the combined financial statements, the creation of the Group under the
Restructuring Exercise set out in Note 2 has been treated as a business combination
involving entities under common control.
As a result, the Group accounts for business combinations involving entities under common
control using pooling of interest-type accounting. Under this policy the assets and liabilities
of the acquiree are recorded at book value not fair value (although adjustments are made to
achieve uniform accounting policies), intangible assets and contingent liabilities are
recognised only to the extent that they were recognised by the acquiree in accordance with
applicable FRS, no goodwill is recorded, any expenses of the combination are written off
immediately in the income statement and comparative amounts are restated as if the
combination had taken place at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Contd)

3.1 Basis of preparation (Contd)


Accordingly, the combined financial statements for the two years ended 31 December 2012
and 2013 presented the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 December 2012 and 2013 and
the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group for the two years ended 31
December 2012 and 2013 as if the current structure of the Group had been in existence
throughout the Relevant Period.
The accounting policies applied by the Group are consistent for all years presented in the
combined financial statements.
Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
The summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the combined
financial statements as set out in Note 3.3 often requires the use of judgements to select
specific accounting methods and assumptions concerning the future may be required in
selecting and applying those methods and policies in the combined financial statements. The
Group bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and various other
assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ from these estimates and judgements under difference assumptions or conditions.
Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The following are the critical assumptions and accounting estimates used in the preparation
of the combined financial statements:
Significant judgements in applying accounting policies
Income tax
Significant judgement is involved in determining provision for income taxes. There are
certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain
during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax
issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax
outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such
differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made. The carrying amounts of the Groups current and deferred tax
liabilities at the reporting date were S$958,754 (2013 S$571,631, 2012 S$415,587) and
S$12,696 (2013 S$7,249, 2012 S$20,855) respectively.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These


calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management
covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using
the estimate rates stated below:

Gross margin
Growth rate
Discount rate

Dr Choo Wan Ling


%

Dr Beh Suan Tiong


%

The recoverable amounts of CGUs are determined from value-in-use calculations. The key
assumptions for the value-in-use calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth
rates and expected changes to rates for doctor related services and direct costs during the
period. Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGUs. The growth rates
are based on industry growth forecasts. Changes in rates and direct costs are based on past
practices and expectations of future changes in the market.
These assumptions have been used for the analysis of each CGU. Management determines
the budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectation for market
development. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with industry reports.
The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the CGUs.

Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements (Contd)
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions used in applying accounting policies
(Contd)
Impairment tests for cash-generating units containing goodwill (Note 5) (Contd)
The above estimates are particularly sensitive in the following areas:

An increase of one percentage point in the discount rate used would have decreased
the profit by S$205,241 (2013 and 2012 S$Nil).

A 1% decrease in future growth margin would have decreased the profit by S$148,450
(2013 and 2012 S$Nil).

The carrying amount of goodwill as at 31 December 2014 amounted to S$842,295 (2013 and
2012 S$Nil).
Impairment tests for non-financial assets
Plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or
indication that these assets may be impaired.
The recoverable amounts of these assets and, where applicable, cash-generating units,
have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the
use of estimates. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the
expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units)
and also to use many estimates and assumptions such as future market growth, forecast
revenue and costs, useful lives of utilisation of the assets, discount rates and other factors.
The carrying amount of non-financial assets at the reporting date was S$601,383 (2013:
S$406,550, 2012: S$307,214). A decrease of 5% (2013: 5%, 2012: 5%) in the value-in-use
of the Groups non-financial assets would have decreased the Groups profit by S$30,069
(2013: S$20,328, 2012: S$15,361).
Depreciation of plant and equipment
The costs of plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
economic useful lives of the assets. The Group estimates the useful lives of the assets based
on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations
and competitor actions in response to severe market conditions. Changes to the expected
level of usage, maintenance programmes and technical developments could impact the
economic useful lives of the assets; therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
The carrying amount of non-financial assets at the reporting date was S$601,383 (2013:
S$406,550, 2012: S$307,214). If depreciation on the Groups plant and equipment
increases/decreases by 10% from managements estimates, the Groups profit for the year
will decrease/increase by approximately S$18,793 (2013: S$12,633, 2012: S$8,013).

(Contd)
Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective
evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence
of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant
financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows
are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk
characteristics. The carrying amount of the Groups loans and receivables at the end of the
reporting period is disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements.
If the present value of estimated future cash flows decrease by 10% from managements
estimates, the Groups allowance for impairment will increase by S$25,778 (2013 increase
by S$15,000, 2012 increase by S$15,000).
Allowance for inventory obsolescence
The Group reviews the ageing analysis of inventories at each reporting date, and makes
provision for obsolete and slow moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable
for sale. The net realisable value for such inventories are estimated based primarily on the
latest invoice prices and current market conditions. Possible changes in these estimates
could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories.
If the net realisable values of the inventory decrease/increase by 10% from managements
estimates, the Groups profit will decrease/increase by S$20,486 (2013: S$21,901, 2012:
S$16,221). The carrying amount of the inventory is disclosed in Note 7 to the financial
statements.

3.3 Significant accounting policies


Consolidation
Common control business combination outside the scope of FRS 103
A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination
in which all the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party
or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these entities have been accounted for at historical
amounts in the combined financial statements.
In applying pooling-of-interests accounting, financial statement items of the combining
entities or businesses for the reporting period in which the common control combination
occurs, and for any comparative periods disclosed, are included in the combined financial
statements of the combined entity as if the combination had taken place at the beginning of
the earliest comparative period presented.
A single uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by the combined entity. Therefore, the
combined entity recognised the assets, liabilities and equity of the combining entities or
businesses at the carrying amounts in the combined financial statements of the controlling
party or parties prior to the common control combination. The carrying amounts are included
as if such consolidated financial information had been prepared by the controlling party,
including adjustments required for conforming the combined entitys accounting policies and
applying those policies to all periods presented. There is no recognition of any goodwill or
excess of the acquirers interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combination.
The effects of all transactions between the combining entities or businesses, whether
occurring before or after the combination, are eliminated in preparing the combined financial
statements of the combined entity.
Consolidation
The combined financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the subsidiaries
used in the preparation of the combined financial statements are prepared for the same
reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like
transactions and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting
from intragroup transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group
obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Losses and other comprehensive income are attributable to the non-controlling interest even
if that results in a deficit balance.

3.3 Significant accounting policies (Contd)


Consolidation (Contd)
Consolidation (Contd)
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

de-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their
carrying amounts as at that date when control is lost;

de-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

de-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;

recognises the fair value of the consideration received;

recognises the fair value of any investment retained;

recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss;

re-classifies the Groups share of components previously recognised in other


comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee
when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Thus, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has all of the following:

power over the investee;

exposure, or rights or variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over
the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the
relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and
circumstances in assessing whether or not the Groups voting rights in an investee are
sufficient to give it power, including:

the size of the Groups holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of
holdings of the other vote holders;

potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;

rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not
have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need
to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders meetings.

Changes in the Groups ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group
losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying
amounts of the Groups interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the
changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by
which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid
or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and
is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration
received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of
the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling
interest. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that
subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or
liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category
of equity as specified/permitted by applicable FRSs). The fair value of any investment
retained in the former subsidiary at the date when the control is lost is regarded as the fair
value on the initial recognition for subsequent accounting under FRS 39, when applicable,
the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
Transactions with non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or
indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the combined
statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the combined statement of financial
position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

Goodwill
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries represents the excess of the consideration
transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisitiondate fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net
identifiable assets acquired.
Goodwill on subsidiaries is recognised separately and carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries include the carrying amount of goodwill
relating to the entity sold.
Plant and equipment and depreciation
Plant ad equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on other items of plant and equipment
is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amount over their
estimated useful lives as follows:
Office equipment

2 to 5 years

Renovation

5 years

Furniture and fittings

2 to 5 years

Medical equipment

2 to 5 years

Computers

1 year

The cost of plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of
the cost of plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is
incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset. Cost may also include transfers
from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases
of plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to plant and equipment that have been recognised is added
to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in
excess of the standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will
flow to the Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is
recognised as an expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.
For acquisitions and disposals during the financial year, depreciation is provided from the
month of acquisition and to the month before disposal respectively. Fully depreciated plant
and equipment are retained in the books of accounts until they are no longer in use.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as
appropriate, at each reporting date as a change in estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Contd)

3.3 Significant accounting policies (Contd)


Investment in subsidiaries
In the Companys separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at
cost less allowance for any impairment losses on an individual subsidiary basis.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a
weighted average basis, and includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an
expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any
allowance for writedown of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories
are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any
reversal of any allowance for write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net
realisable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an
expense in the period in which the reversal occur.
Financial assets
Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into the following
categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments,
loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned
to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose
for which the assets were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated and
classification may be changed at the reporting date with the exception that the designation
of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not revocable.
All financial assets are recognised on their trade date the date on which the Group commits
to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus
directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss, which are recognised at fair value.
Derecognition of financial instruments occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the
investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at the
end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial asset
or a group of financial assets is impaired.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the
statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net
basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.3 Significant accounting policies (Contd)


Financial assets (Contd)
Non-compounding interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are
recognised in profit or loss when received, regardless of how the related carrying amount of
financial assets is measured.
The Group does not hold any financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
held-to-maturity investments or available-for-sale financial assets.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides
money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables.
They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the
end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.
Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables, excluding prepayments. They
are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. If there is objective evidence that
the asset has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment
losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the assets recoverable
amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised,
subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is
reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not
been recognised. The impairment or write-back is recognised in profit or loss.
Determination of fair value
The fair values of quoted financial assets are based on current bid prices. If the market for
a financial asset is not active, the Company establishes fair value by using valuation
techniques. These include the use of recent arms length transactions, reference to other
instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option
pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs. Where fair value of unquoted
instruments cannot be measured reliably, fair value is determined by the transaction price.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Groups non-financial assets, other than inventories, are
reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.
If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated.

3.3 Significant accounting policies (Contd)


Impairment of non-financial assets (Contd)
If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong will be identified.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets
are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the
Group at which management controls the related cash flows.
Individual assets or cash-generating units that include goodwill and other intangible assets
with an indefinite useful life or those not yet available for use are tested for impairment at
least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets or cash-generating
units carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell and value-in-use, based on
an internal discounted cash flow evaluation. Impairment losses recognised for cashgenerating units, to which goodwill has been allocated are credited initially to the carrying
amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in
the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently
reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer
exist.
Any impairment loss is charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in
which case it is charged to equity.
With the exception of goodwill,
(i)

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the recoverable amount or when there is an indication that the impairment
loss recognised for the asset no longer exists or decreases.

(ii)

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss
had been recognised.

(iii) A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to equity.


However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was
previously recognised as an expense in the profit or loss, a reversal of that impairment
is recognised as income in the profit or loss.

3.3 Significant accounting policies (Contd)


Impairment of non-financial assets (Contd)
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed, even if it relates to impairment loss
recognised in an interim period that would have been reduced or avoided had the impairment
assessment been made at a subsequent reporting date or end of the reporting period.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
The Groups financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables and finance lease
liabilities, excluding deferred revenue.
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
agreements of the instrument. All interest-related charges are recognised as an expense in
finance costs in the profit or loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Groups
obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the
statement of financial position when, an only when, the Group currently has a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net
basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as
well as through the amortisation process. As at the end of the respective reporting periods,
there are no financial liabilities carried at fair value.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at
amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group have a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. Present obligations arising from onerous contracts are recognised
as provisions.
The directors review the provisions annually and where in their opinion, the provision is
inadequate or excessive, due adjustment is made.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Contd)

3.3 Significant accounting policies (Contd)


Provisions (Contd)
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current
pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of the time is
recognised as finance costs.
Leases
Where the Group is the lessee,
Finance leases
Where assets are financed by lease agreements that give rights approximating to ownership,
the assets are capitalised as if they had been purchased outright at values equivalent to the
lower of the fair values of the leased assets and the present value of the total minimum lease
payments during the periods of the leases. The corresponding lease commitments are
included under liabilities. The excess of lease payments over the recorded lease obligations
are treated as finance charges which are amortised over each lease to give a constant
effective rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligation.
The leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives
as detailed in the accounting policy on Plant and equipment.
Operating leases
Rentals on operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. Lease incentives, if any, are recognised as an integral part of the net
consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset. Penalty payments on early termination,
if any, are recognised in the profit or loss when incurred.
Contingent rents are mainly determined as a percentage of revenue in excess of a specified
amount during the month. They are charged to the profit or loss when incurred.
Where the Group is the lessor,
Operating leases
Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the
issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account.

Dividends
Final dividends proposed by the directors are not accounted for in owners equity as an
appropriation of retained earnings, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a
general meeting. When these dividends have been approved by the shareholders and
declared, they are recognised as a liability.
Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because of the articles of
association of the Company grant the directors the authority to declare interim dividends.
Consequently, interim dividends are recognised directly as a liability when they are proposed
and declared.
Income taxes
Current income tax for current and prior periods 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 the reporting period.
Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except
when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting or
taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.
A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments
in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the
temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can
be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred income tax is measured:
(i)

at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset
is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period; and

(ii)

based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group
expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of
its assets and liabilities.

Income taxes (Contd)
Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss,
except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which
is recognised either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax arising
from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax
authorities on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, provided they intend to
settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be
realised simultaneously.
Earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the
year attributable to the owners of the Company by the number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the financial years.
Revenue recognition
Provision of obstetrical and gynaecological services
Revenue from the provision of obstetrical and gynaecological services is recognised when
the services are rendered.
Rental income
Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is
recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest income
Interest income from bank deposits is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest
method.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are
expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected
to be paid under short-term cash bonus if the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
Pension obligations
The Company and the Group participate in the defined contribution national pension
schemes as provided by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. In particular, the
Singapore incorporated companies in the Group contribute to the Central Provident Fund, a
defined contribution plan regulated and managed by the Government of Singapore, which
applies to the majority of the employees. The contributions to national pension schemes are
charged to the profit or loss in the period to which the contributions relate.
Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees.
Accrual is made for the unconsumed leave as a result of services rendered by employees up
to the end of the reporting period.
Share-based compensation
The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. The fair value
of the employee services received in exchange for the shares issued is recognised as an
expense in the profit or loss with a corresponding increase in the share capital. The total
amount to be recognised as expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the
shares on the date of the grant.
Key management personnel
Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for
planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity. Directors and certain
management executives are considered key management personnel.

i.

has control or joint control over the Group;

ii.

has significant influence over the Group; or

Government grants
Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income at fair value when there is
reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Group will comply with the
conditions associated with the grant.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as
other income on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are
recognised. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred
income account and is released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset.

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get
ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as
the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned
on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are
incurred.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional
currency). The functional currency of the Company is Singapore Dollars.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Singapore Dollars. The
choice of presentation currency is to better reflect the currency that mainly determines
economic effects of transactions, events and conditions of the Group.
Conversion of foreign currencies
Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are
translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions. Currency translation differences resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at the closing rates at the reporting date are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.

Subsidiaries
Acquisitions of subsidiaries
On 11 February 2014, the Company issued 25,894,737 new shares to the shareholders of
Behs Clinic for Women Pte. Ltd., ST Surgery Pte. Ltd. and Choo Wan Ling Womens Clinic
Pte. Ltd. (collectively hereinafter referred to as the Subsidiaries) for total purchase
consideration amounting to S$3,065,808 to acquire 100 per cent equity interests in these
entities. The purchase considerations were arrived at on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis.
The Company engaged an independent professional valuer to perform a valuation of the fair
value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Subsidiaries as at 1 January 2014. The
fair value acquired approximated their book value. There were no intangible assets identified
which were previously not recorded in the subsidiary, after a purchase price allocation
exercise had been performed. Pursuant to the purchase price allocation exercise, the Group
recognised a goodwill arising on consolidation of S$842,295 at 1 January 2014.
The acquisition of the Subsidiaries is expected to increase the business synergies and
increase the Groups market share of the industry.

The recoverable amounts of these CGUs were determined based on value-in-use


calculations. The value-in-use calculation is a discounted cash flow model using cash flow
projections based on the most recent financial budgets prepared by management covering
the five-year period ending 2019. The terminal growth rates used for the CGUs do not exceed
managements expectation of the long term growth rate of the industry and country in which
the CGUs operates.

These assumptions were used for the analysis of each CGU within the business segment.
Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its
expectations of the market developments. The weighted average growth rates used were
consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used were
pre-tax and reflected specific risks relating to the relevant segments.
The Group believes that any reasonably possible changes in the above key assumptions
applied are not likely to materially cause the recoverable amounts to be lower than its
carrying amounts.
The recoverable amounts have been estimated to be higher than the carrying amounts of the
CGUs, and no impairment is required.

Trade and other receivables (Contd)


Trade receivables relate to the collection of doctors professional fees to be paid by the
respective hospitals in Singapore. The Group generally extends between 30-day and 60-day
credit terms. No interest is charged on outstanding balances. The Group actively reviews the
trade receivable balances and follows up on outstanding debts with the hospitals.
The impaired receivables relate to those with recoverability issue. Except as provided above
and based on historical default rates, the Group believes that no impairment allowance is
necessary in respect of trade receivables not past due or past due up to 30 days. These

The non-trade amount due from employee of S$75,000 as at 31 December 2012, comprising
penalty for pre-mature termination of employment contract, is unsecured, interest-free and
repayable on demand. These were fully repaid in 2014.
The non-trade amounts due from directors of the Company of S$161,770 as at 31 December

Financial risk management (Contd)


The Board of Directors is responsible for settling the objectives and underlying principles of
financial risk management for the Group, as well as establishing and reviewing the detailed
financial risk management policies for the Group.
Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the
Groups risk management framework. The Groups risk management policies are established
to set out its overall business strategies, tolerance of risk and general risk management
philosophy. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes
in market conditions and the Groups activities.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date by
categories are as follows:
2014

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparties may default on their contractual obligations
resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Groups exposure to credit risk arises primarily
from cash and bank deposits, and trade and other receivables. For trade receivables, the
Group adopts the practice of dealing only with those customers of appropriate credit history,
and obtaining sufficient security where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The trade
receivables balance and payment profile of the customers are monitored on an ongoing basis
with the result that the Groups exposure to bad debts is not significant. For other financial
assets, the Group adopt the policy of dealing only with high credit quality counterparties.
Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number
of patients comprising the client base.

Financial risk management (Contd)


Credit risk (Contd)
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred
losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The allowance account in respect of trade
and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that
no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point, the financial asset is considered
irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the
carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class
of financial assets as follows:
2014
S$

The Group

12,824,094

7,003,671

5,364,461

Cash is placed with financial institutions which are regulated and have good credit ratings.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet
commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or
another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset
quickly at close to its fair value.
The Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of
financial assets and liabilities. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group
maintains sufficient level of cash to meet its working capital requirement.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur
significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.
Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups financial
instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.
The Group is not exposed to any movement in market price risk as it does not hold any
quoted or marketable financial instruments.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to
changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when transactions are denominated
in foreign currencies.
The Group is not exposed to foreign currency risks because its transactions and related
financial assets and financial liabilities are mainly transacted in the respective functional
currencies of the Group entities which is the Singapore dollar.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups financial
instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Groups interest bearing financial liabilities related to finance lease arrangement are at
fixed rates.
The Group is not exposed to any cash flow risk as it does not have any monetary financial
instruments with variable interest rates.
Fair values of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one
year (including trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, finance lease
liabilities and trade and other payables) approximate their fair values because of the short
period to maturity.

Fair value measurement


Definition of fair value
FRSs define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

APPENDIX C DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


The following statements are brief summaries of the rights and privileges of Shareholders
conferred by the laws of Singapore and the Articles of our Company. These statements summarise
the material provisions of the Articles but are qualified in entirety by reference to the Articles.
Ordinary Shares
There are no founders, management, deferred or unissued shares reserved for issue for any
purpose. We have only one (1) class of shares, namely, our ordinary shares which have identical
rights in all respects and rank equally with one another. All of the ordinary shares are in registered
form. Our Company may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the rules of the
SGX-ST, purchase its Shares. However, it may not, except in circumstances permitted by the
Companies Act, grant any financial assistance for the acquisition or proposed acquisition of its
own Shares.
New Shares
New Shares may only be issued with the prior approval in a general meeting of our Shareholders.
The aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to such approval may not exceed 100%
(or such other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of our issued share capital for the time
being, of which the aggregate number of shares to be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to our
Shareholders shall not exceed 50% (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of
our issued share capital for the time being (the percentage of issued share capital being based on
our issued Shares at the time such authority is given after adjusting for new Shares arising from
the conversion of convertible securities or employee share options on issue at the time such
authority is given and any subsequent consolidation or sub-division of Shares). The approval, if
granted, will lapse at the conclusion of the annual general meeting following the date on which the
approval was granted or the date by which the annual general meeting is required by law to be
held, whichever is the earlier but any approval may be previously revoked or varied by our
Company in general meeting. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of the Companies Act and
any special rights attached to any class of shares currently issued, all new Shares are under the
control of our Board who may allot and issue the same with such rights and restrictions as it may
think fit.
Shareholders
Only persons who are registered in the register of Shareholders of our Company and, in cases in
which the person so registered is CDP, the persons named as the Depositors in the Depository
Register maintained by CDP for the Shares, are recognised as our Shareholders. Our Company
will not, except as required by law, recognise any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest
in any Share or other rights for any Share other than the absolute right thereto of the registered
holder of that Share or of the person whose name is entered in the Depository Register for that
Share. Our Company may close the register of Shareholders for any time or times if it provides
ACRA with at least fourteen (14) days notice and the SGX-ST at least ten (10) clear market days
notice. However, the register of Shareholders may not be closed for more than 30 days in
aggregate in any calendar year. Our Company typically closes the register of Shareholders to
determine Shareholders entitlement to receive dividends and other distributions.
Transfer of Shares
There is no restriction on the transfer of fully paid Shares except where required by law or the
Listing Manual or the rules or by-laws of any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. Our
Board may decline to register any transfer of Shares which are not fully paid Shares, or Shares
on which our Company has a lien. Our Shares may be transferred by a duly signed instrument of
transfer in a form approved by the SGX-ST or any stock exchange on which our Company is listed.
C-1

APPENDIX C DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


Our Board may also decline to register any instrument of transfer unless, among other things, it
has been duly stamped and is presented for registration together with the share certificate and
such other evidence of title as it may require. Our Company will replace lost or destroyed
certificates for Shares if it is properly notified and if the applicant pays a fee which will not exceed
S$2 and furnishes any evidence and indemnity that our Board may require.
General Meetings of Shareholders
Our Company is required to hold an AGM every year. Our Board may convene an EGM whenever
it thinks fit and must do so if Shareholders representing not less than 10% of the total voting rights
of all Shareholders request in writing that such a meeting be held. In addition, two (2) or more
Shareholders holding not less than 10% of the issued share capital of our Company (excluding
treasury shares) may call a meeting. Unless otherwise required by law or by our Articles, voting
at general meetings is by ordinary resolution, requiring an affirmative vote of a simple majority of
the votes cast at that meeting. An ordinary resolution suffices, for example, for the appointment
of directors. A special resolution, requiring the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes cast
at the meeting, is necessary for certain matters under Singapore law, including voluntary winding
up, amendments to the Memorandum of Association and our Articles, a change of the corporate
name and a reduction in the share capital. Our Company must give at least 21 days notice in
writing for every general meeting convened for the purpose of passing a special resolution.
Ordinary resolutions generally require at least fourteen (14) days notice in writing. The notice
must be given to every Shareholder who has supplied our Company with an address in Singapore
for the giving of notices and must set forth the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and, in
the case of special business, the general nature of that business.
Voting Rights
A Shareholder is entitled to attend, speak and vote at any general meeting, in person or by proxy.
Proxies need not be a Shareholder. A person who holds ordinary shares through the SGX-ST
book-entry settlement system will only be entitled to vote at a general meeting as a Shareholder
if his name appears on the Depository Register maintained by CDP 48 hours before the general
meeting. Except as otherwise provided in our Articles, two (2) or more Shareholders must be
present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum at any general meeting. Under the Articles,
on a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person and by proxy shall have one (1) vote,
and on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one (1) vote for each
Share which he holds or represents. A shareholder may appoint not more than two (2) proxies to
attend and vote at the same general meeting. A poll may be demanded in certain circumstances,
including by the chairman of the meeting or by any Shareholder or Shareholders present in person
or by proxy and representing not less than 10% of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having
the right to attend and vote at the meeting or by not less than five (5) Shareholders present in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote. In the case of an equality of vote, whether on a show of
hands or a poll, the chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a casting vote.

C-2

APPENDIX C DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


Dividends
Our Company may, by ordinary resolution of our Shareholders, declare dividends at a general
meeting, but it may not pay dividends in excess of the amount recommended by our Board. Our
Company must pay all dividends out of its profits. Our Board may also declare an interim dividend
without the approval of our Shareholders. All dividends are paid pro-rata among our Shareholders
in proportion to the amount paid up on each Share, unless the rights attaching to an issue of any
Share provide otherwise. Unless otherwise directed, dividends are paid by cheque or warrant sent
through the post to each Shareholder at his registered address. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the payment by our Company to CDP of any dividend payable to a Shareholder whose name is
entered in the Depository Register shall, to the extent of payment made to CDP, discharge our
Company from any liability to that Shareholder in respect of that payment.
Bonus and Rights Issues
Our Board may, with approval by our Shareholders at a general meeting, capitalise any reserves
or profits and distribute the same as bonus Shares credited as paid-up to our Shareholders in
proportion to their shareholdings. Our Board may also issue rights to take up additional Shares to
Shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. Such rights are subject to any conditions
attached to such issue and the regulations of any stock exchange on which our Company is listed.
Take-overs
Under the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (Singapore Take-over Code), issued by
the Authority pursuant to section 321 of the SFA, any person acquiring an interest, either on his
own or together with parties acting in concert with him, in 30% or more of the voting Shares must
extend a take-over offer for the remaining voting Shares in accordance with the provisions of the
Singapore Take-over Code. In addition, a mandatory take-over offer is also required to be made
if a person holding, either on his own or together with parties acting in concert with him, between
30% and 50% of the voting rights acquires additional voting shares representing more than 1% of
the voting shares in any six (6) month period. Under the Singapore Take-over Code, the following
individuals and companies will be presumed to be persons acting in concert with each other
unless the contrary is established:

or any person acting in concert within the preceding six (6) months.
Liquidation or Other Return of Capital
If our Company is liquidated or in the event of any other return of capital, holders of Shares will
be entitled to participate in any surplus assets in proportion to their shareholdings, subject to any
special rights attaching to any other class of shares.

C-4

APPENDIX C DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


Indemnity
As permitted by Singapore law, our Articles provide that, subject to the Companies Act, our Board
and officers shall be entitled to be indemnified by our Company against any liability incurred in
defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted to
have been done as an officer, director or employee and in which judgment is given in their favour
or in which they are acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from
liability in respect thereof in which relief is granted by the court. Our Company may not indemnify
our Directors and officers against any liability which by law would otherwise attach to them in
respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which they may be guilty
in relation to our Company.
Limitations on Rights to Hold or Vote Shares
Except as described in Voting Rights and Take-overs above, there are no limitations imposed
by Singapore law or by our Articles on the rights of non-resident Shareholders to hold or vote in
respect of our Shares.
Minority Rights

following situations:

oppressive to, or in disregard of the interests of, one (1) or more of our Shareholders; or

company by way of an ordinary resolution passed at an annual general meeting of the
company.

(e)

Shareholding qualification

2.

Share rights and restrictions


Our Company currently has one class of shares, namely, ordinary shares. Only persons who
are registered on our register of shareholders and in cases in which the person so registered
is CDP, the persons named as the depositors in the depository register maintained by CDP
for the ordinary shares, are recognised as our shareholders.
(a)

Dividends and distribution


We may, by ordinary resolution of our shareholders, declare dividends at a general
meeting, but we shall not pay dividends in excess of the amount recommended by our
Board of Directors. We must pay all dividends out of our profits; however, we may
capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of our Companys reserve accounts or
other distributable reserve or any sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account
and apply it to pay dividends, if such dividends are satisfied by the issue of shares to
our shareholders. All dividends are paid pro-rata amongst our shareholders in
proportion to the amount paid up on each shareholders ordinary shares, unless the

D-2

APPENDIX D SUMMARY OF SELECTED ARTICLES OF


ASSOCIATION OF OUR COMPANY
(b)

Voting rights
A holder of our ordinary shares is entitled to attend, speak and vote at any general
meeting, in person or by proxy. Proxies need not be a shareholder. A person who holds
ordinary shares through the SGX-ST book-entry settlement system will only be entitled
to vote at a general meeting as a shareholder if his name appears on the depository
register maintained by CDP 48 hours before the general meeting. Except as otherwise
provided in our Articles, two (2) or more shareholders must be present in person or by
proxy to constitute a quorum at any general meeting. Under our Articles, on a show of
hands, every shareholder present in person and by proxy shall have one vote, and on
a poll, every shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each
ordinary share which he holds or presents. A shareholder may appoint not more than
two (2) proxies to attend and vote at the same general meeting. A poll may be

3.

Change in capital
Changes in the capital structure of our Company (for example, an increase, consolidation,
cancellation, sub-division or conversion of our share capital) require shareholders to pass an
ordinary resolution. Ordinary resolutions generally require at least fourteen (14) days notice
in writing. The notice must be given to each of our shareholders who have supplied us with
an address in Singapore for the giving of notices and must set forth the place, the day and
the hour of the meeting. However, we are required to obtain our Shareholders approval by
way of a special resolution for any reduction of our share capital or other undistributable
reserve, subject to the conditions prescribed by law.

4.

Variation of rights of existing shares or classes of shares


Subject to the Companies Act, whenever the share capital of the Company is divided into
different classes of shares, the special rights attached to any class may be varied or
abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the total voting
rights of the issued shares of the class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at
a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. To every such separate
general meeting the provisions of our Articles relating to general meetings of the Company
and to the proceedings thereat shall mutatis mutandis apply, except that the necessary
quorum shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of
the total voting rights of the issued shares of the class, and that any holder of shares of the
class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll and that every such holder shall on
a poll have one vote for every share of the class held by him, provided always that where the
necessary majority for such a special resolution is not obtained at such general meeting,
consent in writing if obtained from the holders of three-quarters of the total voting rights of
the issued shares of the class concerned within two months of such general meeting shall be
as valid and effectual as a special resolution carried at such general meeting. These

D-3

APPENDIX D SUMMARY OF SELECTED ARTICLES OF


ASSOCIATION OF OUR COMPANY
provisions shall apply to the variation or abrogation of the special rights attached to some
only of the shares of any class as if each group of shares of the class differently treated
formed a separate class the special rights whereof are to be varied or abrogated.
The relevant Article does not impose more significant conditions than the Companies Act in
this regard.
5.

Limitations on foreign or non-resident shareholders


There are no limitations imposed by Singapore law or by our Articles on the rights of our
shareholders who are regarded as non-residents of Singapore, to hold or vote their shares.

D-4

APPENDIX E TAXATION
The summary below of certain taxes in Singapore that may be applicable to our operations in
Singapore are of a general nature. The summary is based on laws, regulations, interpretations,
rulings and decisions in effect as at the Latest Practicable Date. These laws, regulations,
interpretations, rulings and decisions, however, may change at any time, and any change could
be retrospective. These laws and regulations are also subject to various interpretations and the
relevant tax authorities or the courts could later disagree with the comments herein.
The summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of the taxes mentioned nor of all
the taxes that may be applicable to our operations in Singapore. It is not intended to be and does
not constitute legal or tax advice.
Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding taxation in Singapore and
other consequences of owning and disposing of the Shares. It is emphasised that neither
the Company, the Directors nor any other persons involved in this Invitation accepts
responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription, purchase,
holding or disposal of our Shares.
Singapore Income Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Singapore imposes tax on a modified territorial basis i.e. income is subject to tax only when it is
accrued in or derived from Singapore (i.e. Singapore-sourced) and when it is received in
Singapore from outside Singapore (i.e. foreign-sourced income received or deemed received in
Singapore). This applies to both resident and non-resident companies.
A Singapore tax resident corporate taxpayer is subject to Singapore income tax on foreignsourced income received or deemed received in Singapore, unless otherwise exempted.
Foreign-sourced income in the form of branch profits, dividends and service fee income
(specified foreign income) received or deemed received in Singapore by a Singapore tax
resident company are exempted from Singapore tax provided that the following qualifying
conditions are met:
(a)

such income is subject to tax of a similar character to income tax under the law of the territory
from which such income is received;

(b)

at the time the income is received in Singapore, the highest rate of tax of a similar character
to income tax (by whatever name called) levied under the law of the territory from which the
income is received on any gains or profits from any trade or business carried on by any
company in that territory at that time is not less than 15%; and

(c)

the Comptroller of Income Tax (the Comptroller) is satisfied that the tax exemption would
be beneficial to the company.

A company is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of the
companys business is exercised in Singapore. In general, control and management of the
company is vested in its board of directors and the place of residence of the company is generally
where its directors meet.

E-1

APPENDIX E TAXATION
The prevailing corporate income tax rate in Singapore is 17% with the first S$300,000 of
chargeable income of a company being partially exempt from tax as follows:
(a)

75% of the first S$10,000 of chargeable income; and

(b)

50% of the next S$290,000 of chargeable income.

Individual Income tax


An individual taxpayer (both resident and non-resident) is subject to Singapore income tax on
income accrued in or derived from Singapore, subject to certain exceptions. Foreign-sourced
income received or deemed received by a Singapore tax resident individual is generally exempt
from income tax in Singapore except for such income received through a partnership in
Singapore. Certain Singapore-sourced investment income received or deemed received by
individuals is also exempt from tax.
Currently, a Singapore tax resident individual is subject to tax at the progressive rates, ranging
from 0% to 20%, after deductions of qualifying personal reliefs where applicable.
An individual is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore if in the calendar year preceding the year
of assessment, he was physically present in Singapore or exercised an employment in Singapore
(other than as a director of a company) for 183 days or more, or if he ordinarily resides in
Singapore.
Dividend Distributions
Under the one-tier corporate tax system, the tax paid by a Singapore resident company is a final
tax and the distributable profits of the company can be paid to shareholders as tax exempt
(one-tier) dividends, regardless of the tax residence status or the legal form of the shareholders.
However, foreign shareholders receiving tax exempt (one-tier) dividends are advised to consult
their own tax advisors to take into account the tax laws of their respective countries of residence
and the existence of any double taxation agreement which their country of residence may have
with Singapore.
Capital Gains Tax
Singapore currently does not impose tax on capital gains. However, there are no specific laws or
regulations which deal with the characterisation of capital gains. In general, gains or profits
derived from the disposal of our Shares acquired for long-term investment purposes are
considered as capital gains and not subject to Singapore tax.
On the other hand, where such gains or profits arise from activities which the Comptroller of
Income Tax regards as the carrying on of a trade or business of dealing in shares in Singapore,
gains or profits will be taxed as income.
Gains derived by a resident company from the disposal of ordinary shares, made during the period
1 June 2012 to 31 May 2017 (both dates inclusive), are not taxable if immediately prior to the date
of the disposal, the divesting company had held at least 20% of the ordinary share capital of the
company in the investment for a continuous period of at least 24 months.

E-2

APPENDIX E TAXATION
Bonus Shares
Any bonus shares received by our Shareholders are not taxable.
Stamp Duty
There is no stamp duty payable on the subscription, allotment or holding of our Shares.
Stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of our Shares at the rate of S$0.20 for every
S$100 or any part thereof, computed on the consideration paid or market value of our Shares
registered in Singapore, whichever is higher.
The purchaser is liable for stamp duty, unless there is an agreement to the contrary. No stamp duty
is payable if no instrument of transfer is executed (such as in the case of scripless shares, the
transfer of which does not require instruments of transfer to be executed) or if the instrument of
transfer is executed outside Singapore. However, stamp duty may be payable if the instrument of
transfer which is executed outside Singapore is subsequently received in Singapore.
Stamp duty is not applicable to electronic transfers of our shares through the scripless trading
system operated by CDP.
Goods and Services Tax
The sale of our Shares by a GST-registered investor to another person belonging in Singapore is
an exempt supply that is not subject to GST.
Where our Shares are sold by a GST-registered investor in the course of a business to a person
belonging outside Singapore, and that person is outside Singapore when the sale is executed, the
sale should generally, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, be considered a taxable supply
subject to GST at zero-rate. Subject to the normal rules for input tax recovery, any GST incurred
by a GST-registered investor in the making of this supply in the course of or furtherance of a
business carried on by him is recoverable from the Comptroller of GST as input tax.
Services such as brokerage, handling and clearing services rendered by a GST-registered person
to an investor belonging in Singapore in connection with the investors purchase, sale or holding
of our Shares will be subject to GST at the current rate of 7%. Similar services rendered to an
investor belonging outside Singapore is generally subject to GST at zero-rate, provided that the
investor is outside Singapore when the services are performed and the services provided do not
benefit any Singapore persons.
Estate Duty
With effect from 15 February 2008, no estate duty will be leviable in respect of deaths occurring
on or after 15 February 2008.

APPENDIX F RULES OF THE SOG ESOS


The Scheme is primarily a share incentive scheme. It recognises the fact that the services
of Group Employees and Non-executive Directors are important to the success and
continued well-being of the Group. Implementation of the Scheme will enable the Company
to give recognition to the contributions made by such Group Employees and Non-executive
Directors. At the same time, it will give such Group Employees and Non-executive Directors
an opportunity to have a direct interest in the Company at no direct cost to its profitability
and will also help to achieve the following positive objectives:
(a)

to motivate Participants to optimise their performance standards and efficiency and to


maintain a high level of contribution to the Group;

(b)

to retain key employees and directors whose contributions are essential to the
long-term growth and prosperity of the Group;

(c)

to instill loyalty to, and a stronger identification by Participants with the long-term
prosperity of, the Group;

(d)

to attract potential employees with relevant skills to contribute to the Group and to
create value for the Shareholders; and

(e)

to align the interests of Participants with the interests of the Shareholders.

ending on the earlier of:
(a)

the expiry of six (6) months thereafter, unless prior to the expiry of such six (6) month

which the compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by the court and ending either on the
expiry of sixty (60) days thereafter or the date upon which the compromise or arrangement
becomes effective, whichever is later (but not after the expiry of the Option Period relating

Provided always that the date of exercise of any Option shall be before the tenth
anniversary of the Offer Date.

reconstruction), Participants (including Participants holding Options which are then not
exercisable pursuant to the provisions of Rule 11.1 and Rule 11.2) shall, subject to Rule
15.5, be entitled within thirty (30) days of the passing of the resolution of such winding-up
