Appendix 1: Key Risks
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s activities. In addition, there are
other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the
Directors.
The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the
financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Company’s securities. The
following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered and should be read in
conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports.
However, the summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should consult their
professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for securities in the Company.
Business development and commercialisation
in the food, nutrition, healthcare, health supplements, cosmetics and personal care induThe
Company is focused on producing foods and products which deliver Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM)-based health outcomes and the development of technologies to enable the
extraction of hydrogen and minerals from seaweed for use in the energy and battery industries.
Regarding TCM products, the Company focuses on the research & development (R&D),
production and commercialisation of bird’s nest and plant-based products, including seaweed
and sea plants and hemp, to produce sustainable bird’s nest and plant-based protein foods and
nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients (including CBD extracted from Hemp) for
utilisation stries. Regarding the energy and battery industries, the Company focuses its R&D on
the extraction of hydrogen and minerals from seaweed, leveraging its technologies developed
for the extraction of nutraceuticals from seaweed. There can be no guarantee that the resulting
products or extracted hydrogen and minerals will be commercialised, will be competitive in
their respective markets, or will perform satisfactorily to their intended application.
Funding
Any inability of the Company to obtain additional funding as required, including under the
proposed capital raising, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, its
financial condition and performance and its ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly,
there is a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be
required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of
business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the Company’s financial statements.
Research and development risk
In order to remain competitive, the Company intends to continue to undertake research and
development. The Company makes no representation that any of its research into or
development of its technologies and products will be successful or that its technologies will be
developed into products that are commercially exploitable.
Intellectual Property Risks
The Company will give consideration to whether it will pursue patent protection in Singapore
and other jurisdictions in relation to technologies it develops. However, there is no guarantee
that any future patent applications filed by the Company will not infringe competitor patents or
that any such patent applications will be granted by authorities in key jurisdictions, given that
patents on similar subject matter may have been granted.
Regulatory
Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practice and
government policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.
Reliance on key management
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of
the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can
be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more
of these employees cease their employment.
Supply of Raw Materials
The Company may depend on the supply of raw materials to carry on elements of its business.
Such supply may be disrupted because of weather, transportation and other matters outside
the Company’s control.
Product liability
The Company provides products for use in TCM and food products to deliver TCM-based
health benefits, which are used and/or consumed by humans for therapeutic and other
purposes. If the Company’s product(s) causes damage or loss of life, claims may be made
against the Company that it has supplied defective products.
Armed conflicts
The market price of the Company’s Shares and Options may be adversely affected in the short
to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by the Ukraine conflict and the conflict in
the Middle East.
Sovereign Risk
The Group’s operations will continue to include a focus on markets in China and South East
Asia, including but not limited to Singapore and Malaysia. Possible sovereign risks associated
with operating in China and these South East Asian nations include, without limitation, changes
in the terms of legislation, changes to taxation rates and concessions and changes in the ability
to enforce legal rights. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial
performance of the Company and the market price of the Company’s Shares and listed Options.
