The Resale Prospectus is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, MARCH 21, 2024

1,875,000 Ordinary Shares

This is an initial public offering of our ordinary shares, US$0.001 par value per share of FBS Global Limited. We are offering, on a firm commitment engagement basis, 1,875,000 Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to this prospectus. We anticipate that the initial public offering price of the Ordinary Shares will be between US$[4.00] and US$[5.00] per Ordinary Share. In addition, up to 1,884,337 Ordinary Shares will be offered for potential resale by the Resale Prospectus Shareholders pursuant to the Resale Prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the Resale Prospectus Shareholders.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq under the symbol “FBGL”. This offering is contingent upon the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in listing our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 to read about factors you should consider before buying our Ordinary Shares.

We are a holding company that is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no operations, we conduct all of our operations through our subsidiary in Singapore. The Ordinary Shares offered in this offering are shares of the holding company that is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Investors of our Ordinary Shares should be aware that they may never directly hold equity interests in our subsidiaries.

Upon completion of this offering, our issued and outstanding share capital will consist of 13,125,000 Ordinary Shares. We will be a controlled company as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5615(c) because, immediately after the completion of this offering, Kelvin Ang, our controlling shareholder, will own approximately 71.4% of our total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 71.4% of the total voting power.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Neither we nor the underwriters take responsibility for, and provide no assurance about the reliability of, any information that others may give you. This prospectus is an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of the securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

For investors outside the United States: Neither we nor the underwriters have done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction, other than the United States, where action for that purpose is required. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the Ordinary Shares and the distribution of this prospectus outside the United States.

We obtained statistical data, market data and other industry data and forecasts used in this prospectus from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. While we believe that the statistical data, industry data, forecasts and market research are reliable, we have not independently verified the data. See “Market and Industry Data.”

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Basis of Presentation

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information contained in this prospectus is prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Certain amounts, percentages and other figures included in this prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, amounts, percentages and other figures shown as totals in certain tables or charts may not be the arithmetic aggregation of those that precede them and amounts and figures expressed as percentages in the text may not total 100% or, when aggregated may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the percentages that precede them.

For the sake of undertaking a public offering of our Ordinary Shares, a reorganization of the Company’s legal structure was completed on August 2, 2022. The reorganization involved the incorporation of FBS Cayman, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SEDL; and the transfer of all equity ownership of FBS SG to SEDL from the former shareholders of FBS SG and the transfer of all equity ownership of SEDL to FBS Cayman. Pursuant to the incorporation of FBS Cayman and in consideration of the transfer, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,250,000 ordinary shares with par value $0.001 per share.

After the reorganization, FBS Cayman owns 100% equity interests of SEDL and FBS SG. The controlling shareholder of FBS Cayman is same as that of FBS SG prior to the reorganization.

The series of reorganizing transactions resulting in 11,250,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding have been retroactively restated to the beginning of the first period presented herein.

Unless otherwise stated, translations of balances in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, consolidated statements of change in shareholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows from SGD into USD are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of SGD 1.00 to USD 0.75 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and SG 1.00 to USD 0.74 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, each representing the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers of SGD as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the last trading day of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you, and we urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors,” “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections and our consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our Ordinary Shares. This prospectus includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

The predecessor of our principal operating company was incorporated on March 9, 1996 in Singapore under the name Finebuild Systems Pte Ltd. Pursuant to a restructuring that took effect on August 2, 2022, FBS Global Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Success Elite Developments Limited, a company incorporated in BVI, became the ultimate holding company of our current principal operating subsidiary referred to herein as FBS SG.

From its beginning as a construction company since 1996, FBS SG has developed into a premier integrated engineering company that provides a full suite of construction and engineering services. These services include the supply of building materials and precast concrete components, recycling of construction and industrial wastes, as well as pavement consultancy services.

We are an established interior design and build (also referred to as “fit-out”) specialist in Singapore with a track record of over 20 years in institutional, residential, commercial and industrial building projects. Our scope of services comprises design, supply and installation of ceilings, partitions, timber deck, carpet, lead lining, acoustic wall panel, built-in furnishing, carpentry and mechanical & electrical services of a building. We also undertake main construction and building works projects.

Our Pledge

“To be conscientious in the production of construction solutions that is sustainable and environmentally friendly”

Over the years, we have sought to bring value to our construction and engineering business through what we believe to be an innovative use of sustainable processes and materials. We are committed to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility through the environmental focus of our building materials. We believe that this commitment has differentiated us from other traditional construction companies in Singapore that are less focused on sustainability and that this commitment has been a key driver of our growth.

We strive to use new technological equipment including a pole gun for ceiling installations, allowing us to minimize the use of scaffolding in congested areas with mechanical and engineering (or “M&E”) services. Further, we use sanding machines for wall & ceiling instead of manual sanding.

We also work with manufacturers and suppliers to develop new materials such as an impact wall for toilets and a shaft wall for core areas of an elevator shaft.

Sustainable Business

We strongly believe that sustainability in both business and the environment is the only way to responsibly move forward. We have a proven record of completing numerous civil and infrastructure projects while also expanding our expertise into different fields such as sales and marketing of green building materials to consolidate access to the supply chain of essential building materials for the construction sector. These green building materials include but are not limited to special gypsum boards, aluminum ceiling materials, and green resin timber materials for timber desks. We seek to source sustainable materials and work with environmental experts to speed up the process of building zero energy infrastructure.

Our Vision for Sustainable Business for the Future

We believe that our comprehensive and diversified experiences well-position us to undertake a broad range of forward looking green civil engineering and infrastructure construction projects. Our depth of experience is further supported by our team of in-house technical specialists. We believe that, in addition to this depth of experience and specialized technical staff, our innovative ideas, productivity, and efficiency set us apart from our competition and allow us to be poised to provide cutting edge construction and engineering services in furtherance of sustainability.

6

Green buildings are becoming increasingly popular and more prevalent globally, including in Singapore, where both consumer demand and government regulations are pushing for more sustainable building projects by 2030. Since 2007, we have sought to use environmentally friendlier materials on our projects. We believe that sustainability in both business and environment is the only way to move forward, and we intend to lead the way in developing and implementing more sustainable building materials and practices.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that our competitive strengths are:

- Established track record of over 20 years in interior build outs: We have an established track record of over 20 years in interior design and build out, or “fitting-out” works, with experience in a wide range of project types, including mixed developments, private residential developments, hospitals, and commercial developments. Notable projects that we acted as subcontractors in Singapore include Marina One (an integrated development at Marina Bay), Sengkang General Hospital, Outram Community Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and South Beach Development (a mixed development at downtown Singapore) and Vivocity (Mega Shopping Mall near Sentosa Island). We believe that our track record of successfully completing a range of projects gives us a competitive advantage in future bids as we have experience in both small and large-scale projects and a variety of types of projects. Moreover, we also have completed interior-fitting out works for several hospitals in Singapore and have gained a reputation as an established subcontractor in this segment, which is a highly specialized area given the different requirements for interior fitting-out works with respect to hospital buildings as they require specific sound insulation, fire-retardation, chemical resistance (as a result of frequent cleaning) and prevention of radiation leakage. Our prospective customers typically take into consideration a subcontractor’s relevant project track record when evaluating the tender proposal, and we believe that our varied experience positions us to be competitive for similar upcoming projects.

- Providing competent and experienced value engineering design solutions for our customers: We believe that we have the competencies and experience to provide value engineering design solutions for our customers, in order to optimize the cost, durability and design considerations and maximize efficiency. For instance, we may propose modifications to the materials selection or the drawings of a build out project so that the installation can be carried out more efficiently. In certain instances, modifications to the drawings or method statements may allow for improved feasibility of the installation within the planned construction schedule, helping to control costs and avoid overages. We have also undertaken more complex projects such as those requiring shock mounted walls and ceilings, and lead lining walls and partitions (in hospitals) for radiation shielding purpose. There are also certain designs that are more complex such as curved or non-flat interior walls and ceilings and interiors that accommodate water features, which require a higher level of expertise to ensure that the interfacing and finishing works are of quality and reliable. We believe that our customer focused perspective and our specialized experience allow us to service our clients better and generate new project mandates.

- Proven track record safety, quality and timely project execution track record: We have obtained various certifications and gradings which we believe place us in an advantageous position when our customers review our tender proposal or quotation. For instance, we have obtained the following International Organization for Standardization qualifications: ISO 9001:2015, which reflects our quality management standards, and ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001: 2018, which reflect our environmental, occupational and workplace safety management systems. We have also obtained the highest level bizSAFE Level Star certification, reflecting our workplace safety practices. We are also typically subject to the national standards under the Construction Quality Assessment System (“CONQUAS”) set forth by the Building and Construction Authority in Singapore (“BCA”) for our projects that fall under architectural works, with the quality standards being assessed based on the finishing, alignment and evenness, jointing and no visible defect and delamination. We completed the ceiling works for a private residential development, Jewel @ Buangkok in 2014, and this project was awarded the CONQUAS “Star” rating in recognition of the excellence of the workmanship. We understand that customers value subcontractors who complete their projects in a timely manner as they manage many subcontractors concurrently, with each playing a crucial role to ensure the adherence to the overall construction schedule. We believe that experience plays a critical role in timely completion of projects, and we believe that due to our considerable experience, we can accurately assess the challenges that may be posed by site conditions (such as limited access area or restrictions in working hours or noise level), material requisitions, design specifications, and can respond to customers’ requests to meet related deadlines.

7

- We have an experienced and dedicated management and project team: Each of our executives has over 20 years of experience in this industry and has accumulated experience and goodwill in the industry, which has helped us to grow our business through word-of-mouth recommendations. Our Executive Directors are supported by a stable management team with extensive business development and project management experience. Further details of our management team’s working experience are set out in the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers”.

Our business growth strategy is to provide green and sustainable building solutions through offering a full spectrum of environmentally-focused services, products and project management for our customer’s building projects in Singapore. Our core strategy remains focused on creating opportunities for growth through winning green project mandates, driving internal operational improvements and maintaining a high-performance firm culture. We believe that with our extensive experience in the industry, we have strong positions in profitable and growing end-markets across the green building fit-out industry, enhanced by our comprehensive service portfolio and already strong client base. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the prevailing trend towards sustainability and innovations in the buildings industry, including decarbonization, healthy buildings/indoor environmental quality and smart buildings.

To capitalize on these trends, we are building on our priorities of maintaining leading positions in commercial as well as residential building solutions. In furtherance of these goals, we have three strategic priorities:

- Capitalize on Key Growth Vectors: We believe that increased focus on sustainable development through such initiatives as reducing carbon emissions (“decarbonization”), improved indoor air quality and smart buildings that are developed with environmental efficiency at the forefront represent key growth opportunities. We are seeking to leverage our existing portfolio breadth and investments in services and product development, combined with the expansion of its green building materials, to offer differentiated solutions and innovative fit-out plans to help customers achieve their objectives to have healthier work and living spaces, both for the inhabitants of these buildings and the environment at large. We intend to invest in services and products as well as expand our partnerships locally and globally such as in other ASEAN countries and other English-speaking countries where our experiences can be utilized to power green building innovations that will allow us to provide differentiated services that are tailored to our customers’ desired outcomes to achieve these goals.

- Accelerate in High Growth Regions and Verticals: We intend to explore expansion into regional high growth regions in ASEAN countries, namely Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei, by partnering with other companies through joint ventures, enabling us to provide our expertise in green building through large project contracts in the region. We further plan to invest in supply chain vertical integration within the markets we already serve, including healthcare, commercial offices/campuses, and educational and data centers, to directly source specialized equipment and materials for green building. This will enable us to have more control over building supplies and ideally optimize our cost of revenues.

- Sustain a High-Performance, Customer-Centric Culture: We recognize that developing talent and creating positive customer experiences is central to accomplishing our business strategies. We are investing in talent to build a diverse workforce that is solutions oriented and focused on continuous learning and growth. The Company aims to leverage our talent capabilities and training to create a customer-focused culture to drive customer loyalty and decisions.

To realize these priorities, we intend to leverage our position as a steward of green building and use our experience in providing comprehensive service and as reflected by our product portfolio, along with our strong building industry networks, in seeking to monetize opportunities to provide retrofit and new build services. We are seeking to augment our strategic priorities with disciplined execution, productivity enhancements and sustainable cost management in order to realize higher margins and enhanced profitability.

Risks Factor Summary

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves risks. The risks summarized below are qualified by reference to “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 of this Prospectus, which you should carefully consider before making a decision to purchase our Ordinary Shares. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

These risks include but are not limited to the following:

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

● We are dependent on the construction industry in Singapore and other countries which we operate in

● We are dependent on our major customers and any significant decrease in projects secured from them may affect our operations and financial performance

● We are subject to the risks of default or delays in the collection of our trade receivables

● We are reliant on the renewal of our existing registrations and licenses

● We are dependent on foreign workers and may face debarment from hiring (including due to non-compliance with the relevant employment laws and regulations), imposition of penalties, labor shortages or increased labor costs for our operations

● We are subject to a number of project execution risks, many of which are beyond our control

● We are dependent on our suppliers and subcontractors to fulfil their contractual obligations to us, and the inability of these suppliers and contractors, due to increased demand or other factors, to deliver key materials at prices and volumes, performance and specifications acceptable to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. 

● We are subject to risks associated with the quality of our works

● Our short-term revenue and profitability may not be indicative of the long-term results of operations

● We operate in a highly competitive industry and may not be able to compete effectively

● Our lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting may affect our ability to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud which may affect the market for and price of our Ordinary Shares.

● Our Chief Executive Officer will continue to own a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares and, as a result, may be able to exercise control over us, including the outcome of shareholder votes.

● We are subject to compliance with and changes in regulatory requirements and codes

● Our cash flows may fluctuate due to the payment practice applied to our projects or foreign currency exchange rates

● We are required by our customers to arrange performance bonds or banker’s guarantee to secure our due performance of contracts

● We may be subject to litigation, claims or other disputes

● We may not be able to implement our future plans and strategies successfully

● Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all losses or potential claims and insurance premiums may increase

● We are affected by the macroeconomic, political, social and other factors beyond our control in Singapore and other countries which we operate in

● We are exposed to risks of infringement of our intellectual property rights and the unauthorized use of our trademarks by third parties

● Geopolitical conditions, including direct or indirect acts of war or terrorism, could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

● Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the recurrence of a global pandemic

● Certain market opportunity data, forecasts, third-party website data and imagery contained in this prospectus were obtained from third-party sources and were not independently verified by us. We believe the data represented in those images, estimates of market opportunity data, forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus are reliable, but may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

Risks Related to Our Securities and This Offering

● An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be established or, if established, may not continue and the trading price for our Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly.

● We may not maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our Ordinary Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

● The initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market and such market prices may be volatile.

● The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial volatility, which could make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares and result in substantial losses to investors.

● If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.

● The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares could adversely affect their market price.

● Short selling may drive down the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

● Because we do not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for a return on your investment.

● Because our public offering price per share is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

● Our Amended Articles of Association contains anti-takeover provisions that could discourage a third party from acquiring us and adversely affect the rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares.

● You must rely on the judgment of our management as to the uses of the net proceeds from this offering, and such uses may not produce income or increase our share price.

● If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our securities may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

● Our controlling shareholder has substantial influence over the Company. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and it could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.

● As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. In the event we rely on these exemptions, these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

● You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

● Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

● We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

● We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.

● We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.

● We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.

● Economic substance legislation of the Cayman Islands may adversely impact us or our operations.

● We will incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq.

● Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB, rule changes by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Company Accounting Act (“HFCAA”) all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our continued listing or future offerings of our securities in the U.S.

Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may encounter difficulty protecting your interests as a shareholder, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal court system may be limited. Please refer to the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities” for more information.

Corporate Structure

The chart below sets out our corporate structure immediately after this offering.

 

Implications of Our Being a “Controlled Company”

Upon completion of this offering, our controlling shareholder, Kelvin Ang, will be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 9,365,663 Ordinary Shares, which will represent approximately 71.4% of the then total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, we will remain a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and therefore we are eligible for, and in the event we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, we may rely on, certain exemptions from the corporate governance listing requirements of the Nasdaq.

Implications of Our Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

●  being permitted to provide only two years of selected financial information (rather than five years) and only two years of audited financial statements (rather than three years), in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure; and

10

●  an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering occurs, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least US$1.235 billion, (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which means the market value of our Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700.0 million as of the prior June 30, and (4) the date on which we have issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions. We have included two years of selected financial data in this prospectus in reliance on the first exemption described above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

Implications of Our Being a Foreign Private Issuer

Upon completion of this offering, we will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

● the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

● the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

● the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither emerging growth companies nor foreign private issuers.

In addition, as a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the corporate governance listing requirements of the Nasdaq. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing requirements of the Nasdaq. While we currently do not intend to rely on home country practice exemptions following this offering, we may choose to rely on home country practice to be exempted from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq, such that a majority of the directors on our board of directors are not required to be independent directors and neither our compensation committee nor our nomination committee is required to be comprised entirely of independent directors.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment in our Company. The risks discussed below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and the trading price of our shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We are dependent on the construction industry in Singapore and other countries which we operate in

We are dependent on the pipeline of new building development and major additional and alteration works (“A&A projects”), as our sources of revenue come from interior-fitting out works, construction and building works. We operate mainly in Singapore and new building development projects are in part affected by the general economic, regulatory, political and social conditions, property market, construction industry, government initiatives and spending (including spending on healthcare that includes the building and/or refurbishment of hospitals), property and resale prices and rental yields (as the case may be), factors which are beyond our control. Other factors such as natural disasters, recession, epidemics and any other incidents in Singapore and/or countries which we operate in may adversely affect our business, financial position, financial performance and prospects. The construction industry in Singapore is also subject to cyclical fluctuations, and any downturn in the construction industry will have direct impact on our business, financial performance and financial position, due to possibility of postponement, delay or cancellation of new building and A&A projects and delay in the recovery of receivables.

Our contracts are typically on a non-recurring and project basis, and therefore we cannot guarantee that we will continue to secure new projects from our customers after the completion of our existing projects. In the event that the construction industry in Singapore or other countries that we operate in undergoes a downturn or other factors lead to a reduced pipeline of construction projects, we may not be able to secure new projects, or secure new projects of similar value as we had in the past. In the case of such an event, our business, financial performance, financial position and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

We are dependent on our major customers and any significant decrease in projects secured from them may affect our operations and financial performance

Our top two customers listed under the section entitled “Business – Our Major Customers” contributed 41% and 12% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 58% and 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Given that our contracts are typically secured via invited tenders from our customers, we are dependent on our major customers or past customers inviting us for future tenders. However, there is no assurance that these customers will continue to invite us for tenders or award tenders to us at contract values and/or terms comparable to those which we have received in the past. As such, if we are not invited to tender or are unable to secure new projects with our major and past customers, or secure replacement customers, or are unable to secure new projects on terms that are favorable to us, our business, financial performance, financial position and liquidity will be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to the risks of default or delays in the collection of our trade receivables

Our major customers are all private customers, and therefore, we are subject to higher risks of default or delays in collection of our trade receivables as compared to contracting with Singapore government agencies. We typically make monthly progress claims to our customers for the value of the work we have performed as of that time, and our billings are subject to our customer’s approval of our progress claims. Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts are considered overdue after 120 days. Please refer to the section entitled “Business – Credit Management” for further details.

In accordance with the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2004 of Singapore, referred to as BCISPA, we must make payment to our suppliers and subcontractors carrying out work in Singapore within a specific period, whether or not we have received payment from our customers. Please refer to the section entitled “Government Regulations” of this prospectus for further details on BCISPA.

14

Further, a portion of the contract value (typically 5% or 10%) is withheld by our customers as retention money, a portion of which will be released upon substantial completion and the remaining amounts will be released upon final completion (which is after the defects liability period, being typically 12 months from date of substantial completion).

If a customer fails to make payment of our progress claims in a timely manner or at all, or fails to release our retention monies as scheduled, there is a time lag which could potentially be significant, between any costs incurred for the work we have performed and the receipt of any payment from our customers. Any progress claim that we submit may also be the subject of a dispute between us and our customer which could not only delay any payment made to us but also could be such that the amount that is paid to us being less than the amount we claim for. In this event, our cash flow and working capital may be materially and adversely affected.

Even when we are able to recover any part of the contracted value pursuant to the terms of the contract, the process of such recovery is usually time-consuming and requires financial and other resources to settle the disputes. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any outcome will be in our favor or that any dispute will be resolved in a timely manner. Failure to collect adequate payments in time or to manage past due debts effectively will have a material and adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial performance and financial position.

We are reliant on the renewal of our existing registrations and licenses

We are regulated in Singapore by the Commissioner of Building Control (“CBC”), which is the body that oversees compliance with BCA and various other regulatory bodies. These regulatory bodies stipulate the criteria that must be satisfied before registrations and licenses are granted to, and/or renewed and/or maintained for, our business. The maintenance and renewal of our registrations and licenses are subject to compliance with the relevant regulations. BCA designates what are known as “workhead” gradings and we are designated to have met certain qualifications to perform various construction works under the Singapore’s Construction Registration System (“CRS”). In particular, we are graded L5 under the workhead category CR06 for interior decoration and finishing works and B2 under the workhead category CW01 for general building. Our private customers would typically have a preferred workhead grading of their subcontractors for their projects and should we tender directly for Singapore government projects, the required workhead grading will also be stipulated in the tender for bid.

Our current workhead gradings will expire on July 1, 2025 and as the requirements laid down by BCA may change from time to time, there is no assurance that we will be able to meet the changing requirements and maintain and/or renew our registrations and licenses. In the event that we fail to maintain or renew our existing workhead registrations, our business, financial performance and prospects will be adversely affected. For details, please refer to the section entitled “Government Regulations”.

We have not encountered any non-renewal or suspension of BCA registrations and licenses which had a material adverse impact on our business.

We are dependent on foreign workers and may face debarment from hiring (including due to non-compliance with the relevant employment laws and regulations), imposition of penalties, labor shortages or increased labor costs for our operations

Our business is highly dependent on foreign workers as the pool of local construction workers is scarce. As of the date of this prospectus, approximately 70% of our workforce is made up of foreign employees (including site workers and other employees). Any shortage in the supply of foreign workers, increase in foreign worker levy or restriction on the number of foreign workers that we can employ will adversely affect our operations and financial performance. The supply of foreign labor in Singapore is highly controlled and subject to a number of policies and regulations.

We are required to comply with all relevant laws and regulations and we may be liable to penalties if there are any breaches relating thereto. While we aim to comply with the relevant laws and regulations at all times and have put in place the necessary systems to monitor our compliance, we are susceptible to breaches that may arise from inadvertent oversight.

15

In the past, we have received notices in relation to non-compliance with the numerous regulations that apply to us and been subject to fines for failure to comply with rules relating to foreign workers’ accommodation.

While we have taken steps to ensure compliance with laws relating to the hiring of foreign workers, we cannot be assured that we will not inadvertently be subject to additional fines or punishments.

There is no assurance that we and/or our Executive Directors will not be penalized for past contraventions or that we will not inadvertently contravene any employment laws and regulations in the future. Any further debarment from applying for new work passes for foreign workers may cause disruptions to our operations and adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

Moreover, the MOM imposes a MYE quota in respect of the number of foreign workers (excluding those from Malaysia and NAS countries/regions) that the main contractor and its subcontractors can employ in respect of each construction project that was awarded or had the tender called on or before 18 February 2022. The number of foreign workers a company can employ in respect of construction projects awarded or which had the tender called after 18 February 2022 does not depend on MYE quota, but instead, on the dependency ratio ceiling applicable to that company (as described below). Depending on the requirements of our projects, the tightening of such quota on the number of foreign workers that the main contractors and their subcontractors can employ may affect our operations and accordingly our business and financial performance. We are also subject to dependency ratio ceilings, being the percentage of foreign employees permitted in a company calculated as a ratio to local employees. Any changes in the policies of the foreign workers’ countries of origin may affect the supply of foreign labor and cause disruptions to our operations which may in turn result in a delay in the completion of our projects. We are also subject to foreign worker levy for foreign workers (subject to changes as and when announced by the Singapore government) and any increase in foreign worker levy may materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance.

We are subject to a number of project execution risks, many of which are beyond our control

In the preparation of our bid tenders, we will carry out internal cost estimates that are based on, among other factors, the anticipated schedule for the project execution. Our revenue is recognized on the stage of completion method, and billing is based on approved monthly progress claims. Any delay in a project will therefore affect our billings, revenue, increase our operating costs (for instance, labor costs and equipment leasing costs), operational cash flows and financial performance. We are also required to pay our suppliers and subcontractors regardless of such delay if the purchase orders have been fulfilled, therefore affecting our operational cash flows. A delay in the project can be due to various factors, including but not limited to, shortage of manpower, materials and/or equipment, delays by subcontractors, accidents at the work site, adverse weather or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event of a delay, we are liable to pay our contracting parties for the liquidated damages stipulated in our contracts, and our reputation (including our prospects for being invited for future bid tenders) will also be materially and adversely affected.

Moreover, other than liquidated damages, we may also have to bear additional costs as our customers can require us to complete the uncompleted works within a reasonable period at our expense, to avoid or minimize further delay. In addition, to minimize further delay, we may also be required to incur overtime man hours and the related labor costs at our own expense. In such circumstances, our operations and financial performance will be materially and adversely affected.

Additionally, our contracts with our customers are typically on a fixed and pre-determined fee basis for the duration of the contract period and the terms of the contracts allow limited price adjustments. Nonetheless, we still have to bear the risk of any cost fluctuations due to, including but not limited to, inaccurate costs estimation at the tender stage, ineffective cost management during project implementation, higher than estimated costs of materials, labor, subcontracting fees or equipment leasing. Other situations such as changes in the regulatory requirements, disputes with suppliers and subcontractors, labor disputes as well as accidents, delays and other unforeseen problems may also adversely affect our project costs. Should we be unable to control our costs within our original estimates, or we are not able to fully cover the increases in costs during the project, our business, financial performance and liquidity will be materially and adversely affected.

We are dependent on our suppliers and subcontractors to fulfil their contractual obligations to us, and the inability of these suppliers and contractors, due to increased demand or other factors, to deliver key materials at prices and volumes, performance and specifications acceptable to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We rely on our suppliers and subcontractors to provide us with quality and timely delivery of materials, equipment rental and services. As we do not sign any long-term contracts with our suppliers and subcontractors, there is no assurance that we will continue to be provided with materials and services at prices acceptable to us for future projects. Additionally, our key materials such as calcium silicate boards, gypsum boards or plasterboards, fasteners, joint materials, metal bracing, metal studs, screws, adhesives or sealants are common building materials and while we will typically notify our suppliers of our project needs in advance, we place a purchase order after confirmation of the project as and when required for delivery to the work site. As such, there is assurance that during the course of the project, our suppliers will not increase the price of their materials.

16

We are also subject to risks and challenges in engaging subcontractors, including difficulties in overseeing the performance of such subcontractors in a direct and effective manner, failure to complete the contracted scope of works or inability to hire suitable subcontractors. As the subcontractors have no direct contractual relationships with our customers, we are subject to risks associated with their non-performance, late performance or poor performance.

In the case where the suppliers and subcontractors are selected by us, our selection criteria is based on, among others, their track record, price competitiveness, quality of products or services and timeliness in delivery and completion. We cannot be assured that the products and services rendered by our suppliers and subcontractors will continue to meet our requirements for quality, or that they will be able or willing to continue to provide supplies and services to us. In the event that any of our major suppliers and subcontractors is unable to provide the required supplies and services to our Group and we are unable to obtain alternative providers on similar or more favorable terms to us in a timely manner, our business, financial performance and financial position will be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, we are also subject to claims arising from defective work performed by subcontractors. While we may attempt to claim from the relevant subcontractors or require our subcontractors to make good the default or defect, we may be required to make good the default or defect at our own cost before receiving any compensation from the subcontractors. If no corresponding claim can be asserted against a subcontractor, or the amounts of the claim cannot be recovered in full or at all from the subcontractors, we may be required to bear some or all the costs of the claims, in which case our business, financial performance and liquidity will be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to risks associated with the quality of our works

Our quality of work is assessed by our customers, and poor quality of works could be due to poor execution and quality control of our employees or that of our subcontractors. We may incur reworks and additional costs to improve the quality of our works, or we may be subject to claims from our customers for such inferior works. Costs incurred for reworks in a certain financial year/ period will also affect the financial performance and cashflows in that certain financial year/ period, notwithstanding the overall profitability of the project. If we fail to achieve a satisfactory quality of work, our reputation and our likelihood of being invited for future bid tenders could be materially and adversely affected, and increase the likelihood of increased costs, liquidated damages, deduction against performance bonds and/or retention monies, and accordingly, materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, prospects and financial performance.

Our short-term revenue and profitability may not be indicative of the long-term results of operations

Revenue from some ongoing contracts may be recognized across financial years, depending on the stage of completion of each contract. The revenue and profitability of different contracts vary and should more works be performed in a certain financial year, we will record better short-term results for that particular financial year. Similarly, our revenue and profitability during a certain period of the financial year may also not be indicative of the financial results for other periods of the financial year. There is, therefore, no assurance that our short-term results of operations will be indicative of our long-term results of operations.

Further, as the projects undertaken by us are on a non-recurring and project basis, our revenue and profitability may fluctuate from period to period and from year to year. In order to grow or even maintain the revenue and profitability of our business, we have to continually and consistently secure new projects which have higher or comparable contract values and margins, and in greater or comparable numbers. In the event that we are not able to continually and consistently do so on terms that are favorable to us, our business, financial performance and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, there may be a lapse of time between the completion of our existing projects and the commencement of new projects. Accordingly, any unutilized capacity in between projects would have an adverse effect on our overall margins and results of operations.

17

We operate in a highly competitive industry and may not be able to compete effectively

The construction industry, including the interior fitting-out works segment, in which we operate, is competitive, and some of our competitors may have more manpower, resources, higher gradings in various construction workhead designations needed to operate in this field in Singapore, stronger track record in terms of the diversity, size and/or complexity of the projects undertaken or greater exposure to potential business opportunities. As of January 15, 2023, there were over 40 and 74 contractors with the highest L6 and L5 grading in the workhead category CR06 (Interior Decoration and Finishing Works) respectively, the workhead category gradings in which we primarily seek projects, and over 1500 contractors registered under all CR06 workhead, and this figure may increase.

We may face increased competition from existing or new competitors and we may not adapt effectively to market conditions, industry developments, customer preferences and/or competitive environment. Moreover, our competitors may also adopt aggressive pricing policies or develop relationships with our customers in a manner that could significantly harm our ability to secure contracts. We may also compete in other areas including for services of subcontractors and qualified employees. If we cannot attract their services or are unable to compete in such other areas including providing competitive pricing and/or quality works on a timely basis, our business, financial performance, financial position and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

Our lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting may affect our ability to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud which may affect the market for and price of our Ordinary Shares.

To implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Prior to filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources for addressing our internal control over financial reporting. Our management has not completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm did not conduct an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. However, in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, we and our independent registered public accounting firms identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting PCAOB of the United States, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. There are three material weaknesses identified: (1) our lack of sufficient full-time personnel with appropriate levels of accounting knowledge and experience to monitor the daily recording of transactions, address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures under U.S. GAAP; (2) our lack of formal internal control policy and procedures to establish formal risk assessment process and internal control framework; and (3) our lack of formal IT process and procedures related to risk and vulnerability assessment, data backup and recovery management, and password management.

We intend to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses, including (i) hiring more qualified staff to fill up the key roles in the operations, providing internal training to our accounting staff on U.S. GAAP, requiring our staff to participate in trainings and seminars provided by professional service firms on a regular basis to gain knowledge on regular accounting and SEC reporting updates, (ii) setting up an adequate financial and internal control framework with formal documentation of polices and controls in place, and (iii) we intend to establish a formal IT process in order to strengthen the internal control policies.

We will be subject to the requirement that we maintain internal controls and that management perform periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls. Effective internal control over financial reporting is important to prevent fraud. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the market for and trading price of our Ordinary Shares, may be materially and adversely affected if we do not have effective internal controls. Before this offering, we were a private company with limited resources. As a result, we may not discover any problems in a timely manner and current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. The absence of internal controls over financial reporting may inhibit investors from purchasing our Ordinary Shares and may make it more difficult for us to raise funds in a debt or equity financing.

Additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we identify such issues or if we are unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our Ordinary Share price may decline and we may be unable to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Our Chief Executive Officer will continue to own a substantial number of our ordinary shares and, as a result, may be able to exercise control over us, including the outcome of shareholder votes.

As of June 30, 2023, our controlling shareholder Kelvin Ang held 90.4% of our total outstanding ordinary shares and is expected to hold over 71.4% of our total outstanding ordinary shares after this offering. As a result, he may be able to determine matters requiring shareholder approval and affect the market price of our ordinary shares. For example, he may be able to exert control over our business, including significant corporate actions such as mergers, schemes of arrangement, sales of substantially all of our assets, and election, re-election and removal of directors. This concentration of power may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our ordinary shares, or other such changes in control, that you may feel are in your best interest. The interests of Mr. Ang may not always coincide with your interests or the interests of other shareholders and he may act in a manner that does not necessarily advance the best interests of those who purchase ordinary shares in the future, including seeking a premium value for their ordinary shares.

For more information, see “Principal Shareholders.”

We are subject to compliance with and changes in regulatory requirements and codes

Our operations are subject to laws and regulations that relate to matters such as licensing, employment of foreign workers, workplace health and safety, and environmental protection in Singapore. Please refer to the section entitled “Government Regulations” of this prospectus for further details. In the event that our operations fail to comply with such laws and regulations, we may be subject to fines or be required to take remedial measures or they may affect our ability to obtain new projects or carry on our operations without disruptions. If any of these events occurs, it will adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and financial performance.

We are also subject to changing requirements applicable for the construction industry in Singapore. For instance, there are numerous codes, laws and regulations that we are subject to such as the Code of Practice on Buildability, CONQUAS and BCA Green Mark, which is the benchmarking scheme that incorporates internationally recognized best practices in environmental design and performance. Requirements for obtaining a certain grading under certain workhead requirements may also change from time to time.

We are also affected by regulatory changes and requirements on the employment of foreign workers, which may change from time to time. Any failure to comply could result in penalties such as fines and/or not being able to continue or expand our business. Our ability to remain compliant with the many regulations and standards applied to our business is time consuming, and our failure to do so will negatively impact our performance. Changes in or introduction of new laws, and policies applicable to our business may also increase our operating costs, in particular if the competitive environment or other factors do not allow us to fully recover all the additional costs. Should this occur, our financial performance will be materially and adversely affected.

Our cash flows may fluctuate due to the payment practice applied to our projects or foreign currency exchange rates.

Our projects normally incur net cash outflows at the early stage of carrying out our works when we are required to incur setting-up expenditures, purchase materials, and commence works prior to payment received from our customers. Our customers will make payments pursuant to our progress claims which have to be approved by our customers. Accordingly, we experience accumulative net inflows gradually as the project progress. We typically do not receive a deposit from customer for offsetting the initial cash outflows. As we undertake a number of projects at any given period, the cash outflow of a particular project could be offset by the cash inflows of other projects. Accordingly, as a result of the general mismatch in the timing of our cash flow movements between our outlay and receipt of payments, we could potentially experience negative operating cash flows. If at any time, we undertake more projects which are at the initial stage of works than projects which are at the later stages, our corresponding cash flow position will be adversely affected. Further, our revenues and financial statements are denominated in the Singapore dollars but presented in US dollars and, our daily transactions are mainly denominated in the Singapore dollar. As such, we are exposed to the risk of adverse exchange rate fluctuations against the Singapore dollar, which may negatively impact our results of operations when our financials are presented in US dollars.

We are required by our customers to arrange performance bonds or banker’s guarantee to secure our due performance of contracts.

It is a common practice in the construction industry that contractors are required by their customers to take out performance bonds or banker’s guarantee at a fixed sum or a certain percentage of the contract sum to secure due performance and compliance with the contracts. In lieu of performance bonds or banker’s guarantee, we may be required to place cash deposit or accept a higher percentage for retention monies. In the event that we default on our contractual obligations, our customer will be entitled to call on the bond with the financial institution. If the performance bond is called upon, we will be required to indemnify the relevant financial institution for such payment, and our liquidity, business, reputation, financial performance, financial position and prospects may be adversely affected.

The amount paid up for the performance bonds may be locked up for a prolonged period of time, depending on contract period. Further we cannot guarantee we will not undertake projects which have performance bonds requirements in the future, and should we fail to satisfactorily complete our contracted works, the amount paid up for the performance bonds may not be released to us, which may adversely affect our cash flows and financial position. In the event that our contracts are negotiated without performance bonds but with a higher percentage of retention monies, the performance of our works and our monthly progress claims and billings will be subject to a higher amount of retention. Similarly, should we not satisfactorily complete our contracted works, we may not receive the full amount of the retention monies upon the completion of the project and expiration of the defect liability period. In such event, our financial performance and cashflows will be materially and adversely affected.

19

We may be subject to litigation, claims or other disputes.

We may from time-to-time encounter disputes arising from contracts with customers, suppliers, subcontractors or other third parties. Claims brought by customers against us may involve defective works, damaged works as we are obliged to protect our completed or partially completed works on-site, property damages or other contractual breaches which may result in us incurring liquidated damages under the terms of our contracts with our customers. Claims may also arise from disputes with suppliers and subcontractors on matters relating to payment and/or contractual performance. Claims involving us could result in time-consuming and costly litigations, arbitration, administrative proceedings or other legal procedures. Expenses we incur in legal proceedings or arising from claims brought by or against us will materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, financial performance and prospects.

Moreover, legal proceedings resulting in unfavorable judgment or findings may harm our reputation, cause financial losses and damage our prospects of being awarded future contracts, thereby materially and adversely affecting our operations, financial position, financial performance and prospects.

The nature of our work also involves certain risks as employees work at the work sites with equipment and tools, or work from height. Our employees who have suffered an injury arising out of and in the course of his employment can choose to either submit a claim under the Work Injury Compensation Act 2019 of Singapore (“WICA”) for compensation through MOM without needing to prove negligence or breach of statutory duty by employer or commence legal proceedings to claim damages under common law against employer for breach of duty or negligence. Pursuant to the WICA, an injured employee is entitled to claim medical leave wages, medical expenses and lump sum compensation for permanent incapacity or death, subject to certain stipulated limits. Damages under a common law claim are usually higher than an award under the WICA and may include compensation for pain and suffering, loss of wages, medical expenses and any future loss of earnings. In the event that the litigation costs, time involved and/or claim amounts are substantial, our financial performance will be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to implement our future plans and strategies successfully.

Our future plans and strategies include, inter alia, strengthening our market position in the interior fitting-out industry in Singapore and participating in joint ventures or strategic alliances with suitable partners. The successful implementation of our business plan may be affected by a number of factors including the availability of sufficient funds, government policies relevant to our industry, the economic conditions, our ability to maintain our existing competitive advantages, our relationships with our customers, the threat of substitutes and new market entrants. Participation in joint ventures and/or strategic alliances locally or overseas also involves numerous risks, including but not limited to regulatory risks, political risks, execution risks in relation to identification of suitable partners, integration of operations and/or cooperation in projects or business management. There can be no assurance that we will be able to execute such future plans and strategies successfully and as such, the actual outcome may fall short of expectations.

Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all losses or potential claims and insurance premiums may increase.

We obtain public liability insurance for injuries to third parties and the required policies for our staff, such as work injury compensation and medical insurance. For projects where we are the main contractor, we also procure contractors’ all risks insurance. Please refer to the section entitled “Business – Insurance” of this prospectus for further details on our insurance coverage. For our interior fitting-out projects, we do not need to procure specific insurance as it is usually covered by the insurance procured by the main contractor. However, we may become subject to liabilities against which we are not insured adequately or at all or exposure which cannot be insured.

Although we believe our insurance coverage is sufficient for the needs of our operations and appropriate for our current risk profile, we cannot guarantee that our current levels of insurance are sufficient to cover all potential risks and losses. Moreover, we may not be able to recover the losses in full or on a timely basis from our insurers. There are also certain risks that are not covered by our insurance policies because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable including acts of war and terrorism. In addition, our insurers will review our policies each year and we cannot guarantee that we can renew our policies or renew our policies on similar or other acceptable terms. If we suffer from losses that exceed our insurance coverage or are not covered by our insurance policies, we may be liable to bear such losses and our business, financial performance and financial position will be adversely affected.

20

We are affected by the macroeconomic, political, social and other factors beyond our control in Singapore and other countries which we operate in.

We are affected by macroeconomic factors, such as general economic conditions, population growth, household formation, market sentiment which are in part, influenced by unemployment rates, real disposable income, inflation, recession, stock market performance, interest rate environment, regulatory policies, foreign investment, gross domestic product growth, business sentiment, all of which are beyond our control. For example, there has been increased inflationary pressure on the cost of materials and labor and increased bank loan rates. As of yet, we have not yet seen a material impact to our business, but if inflation increases, the increased cost of completing projects and financing our business may have a negative impact on our financial performance. Moreover, political and social stability, taxation, price and exchange control regulations, industry laws and regulations in Singapore and other countries may also affect our business. There is no assurance that such conditions will not develop in a manner that will have an adverse effect on our business operations.

We may also expand into other countries in which we presently do not have a business presence. Factors beyond our control include the abovementioned, and other conditions such as internal strife, epidemics, severe weather conditions, natural or other catastrophes, terrorist attacks or acts of violence that may materially and adversely affect financial markets, business and consumer confidence that will materially and adversely affect our operations, financial performance and financial position.

Our business, financial performance and results of operations depend significantly on worldwide macroeconomic economic conditions and their impact on material supplies. Recessionary economic cycles, higher interest rates, volatile fuel and energy costs, inflation, levels of unemployment and other economic factors that may affect material costs and adversely affect costs of revenue of our services and products. In addition, negative national or global economic conditions may materially and adversely affect our suppliers’ financial performance, liquidity and access to capital. This may affect their ability to maintain their inventories, production levels and/or product quality and could cause them to raise prices, lower production levels or cease their operations.

Economic factors such as increased commodity prices, shipping costs, higher costs of labor, insurance and healthcare, and changes in or interpretations of other laws, regulations and taxes may also increase our cost of revenue and our selling, general and administrative expenses, and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Global inflation rose in 2023 and may continue through 2024. To date, we have not been subject to inflationary pressures. We cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future.

We are exposed to risks of infringement of our intellectual property rights and the unauthorized use of our trademarks by third parties

We have registered our trademark to protect our intellectual property rights in Singapore. Please refer to the section entitled “Business – Intellectual Property” of this prospectus for more details. Should our trademark be violated or infringed, there may be confusion by potential customers who have not previously worked with us or we may be exposed to the risk of claims against us for intellectual property rights infringement.

Given our limited resources, we may not be able to effectively prevent third parties from violating our Group’s intellectual property rights. There is also no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate remedies in the event of a violation of our trademark by our competitors or other third parties. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, there may be an adverse impact on our Group’s reputation, goodwill and financial performance.

As of the date of this Prospectus, while we have not experienced any claims for intellectual property rights infringement, there is no assurance that we will not infringe any intellectual property rights of third parties in the future. In the event of any claims or litigation by third parties involving infringement of their intellectual property rights, whether with or without merit, our operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.

21

Geopolitical conditions, including direct or indirect acts of war or terrorism, could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

Our operations could be disrupted by geopolitical conditions, political and social instability, acts of war, terrorist activity or other similar events. In February 2022, Russia initiated significant military action against Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain other countries imposed significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian political, business, and financial organizations, and the U.S. and certain other countries could impose further sanctions, trade restrictions, and other retaliatory actions should the conflict continue or worsen. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of the conflict, including related geopolitical tensions, and the measures and retaliatory actions taken by the U.S. and other countries in respect thereof as well as any counter measures or retaliatory actions by Russia or Belarus in response, including, for example, potential cyberattacks or the disruption of energy exports, is likely to cause regional instability, geopolitical shifts, and could materially adversely affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies and the global economy. The situation remains uncertain, and while it is difficult to predict the impact of any of the foregoing, the conflict and actions taken in response to the conflict could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, reduce our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. At this time, we have not been impacted by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, nor the most recent conflicts taking place in the Middle East, as all of our major suppliers of material are based in Asia and we have not been impacted by supply chain disruptions or sanctions resulting from the conflict. But if the conflict prolongs, there could be long term ramifications on the global economy through trade restrictions or cyberactivity that could negatively impact our operations.

Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the recurrence of a global pandemic.

A significant outbreak, epidemic or pandemic of a contagious disease such as COVID-19 in any geographic area in which we operate or plan to operate could result in a health crisis adversely affecting the economies, financial markets and overall demand for our services in such areas. In addition, any preventative or protective actions that governments implement or that we take in response to a health crisis, such as travel restrictions, quarantines, or site closures, may interfere with the ability of our employees, suppliers and customers to perform their responsibilities. At this time, we are not experiencing negative impacts due to COVID-19 cases, but if cases increase and/or new shutdowns are implemented or a similar global health threat arises, this is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business.

Certain market opportunity data, forecasts, third-party website data and imagery contained in this prospectus were obtained from third-party sources and were not independently verified by us. We believe the data represented in those images, estimates of market opportunity data, forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus are reliable, but may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

This prospectus contains certain data, imagery, and information that we obtained from various government, private entity publications, third party websites, and reports. There is no guarantee that any particular images or data represented therein are reliable. There is no guarantee that any number or percentage of market participants covered by our market opportunity estimates will purchase our services at all or generate any particular level of revenue for us. While we have not independently verified the data and information contained in the represented images and reports because such data and information may have been collected using third-party methodologies, we believe that the data and information, including projections based on a number of assumptions, from these third-party publications and reports used in this prospectus is reliable. Any expansion in the construction industry in Singapore is dependent a number of factors, including the cost and perceived value associated with our services and those of our competitors. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth forecast in this prospectus, our business could fail to grow at the rate we anticipate, if at all, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the data represented in the images representing projects we have worked on and certain forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

Risks Related to Our Securities and This Offering

An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be established or, if established, may not continue and the trading price for our Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly.

We cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our Ordinary Shares will be established. If an active public market for our Ordinary Shares does not occur following the completion of this offering, the market price and liquidity of our shares may be materially and adversely affected. The public offering price for our shares in this offering was determined by negotiation between us and the representative of the underwriter based upon several factors, and we can provide no assurance that the trading price of our shares after this offering will not decline below the public offering price. As a result, investors in our shares may experience a significant decrease in the value of their shares.

We may not maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our Ordinary Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We intend to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq concurrently with this offering. In order to continue listing our shares on the Nasdaq, we must maintain certain financial and share price levels and we may be unable to meet these requirements in the future. We cannot assure you that our shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq in the future.

If the Nasdaq delists our Ordinary Shares and we are unable to list our shares on another national securities exchange, we expect our shares could be quoted on an over-the-counter market in the United States. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

● a limited availability of market quotations for our Ordinary Shares;

● reduced liquidity for our Ordinary Shares;

● a determination that our Ordinary Shares are “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares;

● a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

● a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

As long as our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq, U.S. federal law prevents or preempts the states from regulating their sale. However, the law does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar their sale. Further, if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq, we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our shares.

22

The initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market and such market prices may be volatile.

The initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the Underwriter and may not bear a direct relationship to our earnings, book value, or any other indicia of value. We cannot assure you that the market price of our Ordinary Shares will not decline significantly below the initial public offering price. The financial markets in the U.S. and other countries have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the last few years. Volatility in the price of our Ordinary Shares may be caused by factors outside of our control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to changes in our results of operations.

The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial volatility, which could make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares and result in substantial losses to investors.

There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater share price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares.

The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control and for reasons that are unrelated to our actual or expected performance. In addition, if the trading volumes of our Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly. Holders of our Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

● fluctuations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow;

● changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

● additions or departures of key personnel;

● release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our issued and outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and

● potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

Any of these factors may result in significant and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our shares will trade.

In the event of market volatility, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts downgrade our shares, the market price for our shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our shares to decline.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares, including the Ordinary Shares that are being registered concurrently for resale in the Resale Prospectus, could adversely affect their market price.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market after the completion of this offering and from the sale of shares held by the Resale Shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our shares and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. As of the date of this prospectus, we have [11,250,000] Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. The Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, and Ordinary Shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and applicable lock-up agreements. There will be [13,125,000] Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after this offering. See “Underwriting” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this offering.

Short selling may drive down the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

Short selling is the practice of selling shares that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical shares back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the shares between the sale of the borrowed shares and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller’s interest for the price of the shares to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions and allegations regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling the shares short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market. If we were to become the subject of any unfavorable publicity, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend ourselves. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality.

Because we do not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for a return on your investment.

We currently intend to retain all of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to declare any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our shares as a source for any future dividend income. Our board of directors has discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to applicable laws. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of profits or its share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid out of the share premium account unless, immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors as determined by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased our shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our shares and you may even lose your entire investment.

Because our public offering price per share is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

If you purchase shares in this offering, you will pay substantially more than our net tangible book value per share. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of US$[3.30] per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share of US$[0.70] as of June 30, 2023, after giving effect to the net proceeds to us from this offering, assuming no change to the number of shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and an assumed public offering price of US$[4.00] per share. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our shares will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

Our Amended Articles of Association contains anti-takeover provisions that could discourage a third party from acquiring us and adversely affect the rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares.

Our Amended Articles of Association contains provisions that may limit the ability of others to acquire control of our Company. These provisions could have the effect of depriving our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of our Company in a tender offer or similar transaction. Our board of directors has the authority to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with our Ordinary Shares. Preferred shares could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our Company or make removal of management more difficult. If our board of directors decides to issue preferred shares, the price of our Ordinary Shares may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected.

You must rely on the judgment of our management as to the uses of the net proceeds from this offering, and such uses may not produce income or increase our share price.

We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering primarily to grow our existing business as well as to nurture future development thru partnerships and mergers and acquisitions. See “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us in this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our efforts to achieve or maintain profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from this offering may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

24

If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our securities may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

We are a non-U.S. corporation and, as such, we will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which is known as a PFIC, for any taxable year if, for such year, either

● At least 75% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or

● The average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year that produce passive income or that are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who holds our securities, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

It is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. We treat our affiliated entities as being owned by us for United States federal income tax purposes, not only because we exercise effective control over the operation of such entities but also because we are entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits, and, as a result, we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial statements. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the equity by value.

For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if we were determined to be a PFIC, see “Material Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.”

Our controlling shareholder has substantial influence over the Company. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and it could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.

As of the date of this prospectus, Kelvin Ang owns 90.4% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and is selling 800,000 shares through the offering set forth in the Resale Prospectus. If he sells all of his 800,000 shares, upon completion of that offering, he still will own approximately 71.4% of our then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, and even more if he does not sell all of the 800,000 shares.

Accordingly, our controlling shareholder could control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election of directors and other significant corporate actions, including the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our largest shareholder may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. Without the consent of our controlling shareholder, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our shares may cause a material decline in the value of our shares. For more information regarding our principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, see “Principal Shareholders.”

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. In the event we rely on these exemptions, these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

As a foreign private issuer that has applied to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, we have the ability to rely on a provision in the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards that allows us to follow Cayman Islands law with regard to certain aspects of corporate governance. This would allow us to follow certain corporate governance practices that differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq.

25

For example, we are exempt from Nasdaq regulations that require a listed U.S. company to:

- have a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors;

- require non-management directors to meet on a regular basis without management present;

- have an independent compensation committee;

- have an independent nominating committee; and-

- seek shareholder approval for the implementation of certain equity compensation plans and dilutive issuances of Ordinary Shares, such as transactions, other than a public offering, involving the sale of 20% or more of our Ordinary Shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the shares.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements and our audit committee is not subject to additional Nasdaq corporate governance requirements applicable to listed U.S. companies, including the requirements to have a minimum of three members and to affirmatively determine that all members are “independent,” using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer. Our audit committee is required to comply with the provisions of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, which is applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq. Therefore, we intend to have a fully independent audit committee upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, and we will also meet the more stringent requirements of having three “independent” audit committee members.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders to take action against our directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to our Company under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under the laws of the Cayman Islands are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws than the United States, which may provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the Memorandum and Articles of Association) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors are not required under our Memorandum and Articles of Association to make our corporate records available for inspection by our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder resolution or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as U.S. states. Currently, we do not plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter. In the event we opt to do so in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

As a result of all of the above, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a company incorporated in a U.S. state. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in a U.S. state and their shareholders, see “Certain Cayman Islands Company Considerations — Differences in Corporate Law.”

26

Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our current directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands, see “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities”. As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulties in protecting their interests through actions against us or our officers, directors or major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for so long as we are an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.

The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period, although we have early adopted certain new and revised accounting standards based on transition guidance permitted under such standards. As a result of this election, our future financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates for these new or revised accounting standards.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.

Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

● the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;

● the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

● the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

● the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD.

We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our financial results on a semi-annual basis through press releases distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you if you were investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

Our Articles of Association restrict shareholders from bringing legal action against our directors.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association contain a broad waiver by our shareholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of our directors; however, this waiver does not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Other than claims arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the waiver applies to any action taken by a director, or the failure of a director to take any action, in the performance of his or her duties with or for our Company, except with respect to any matter involving any fraud, willful default or dishonesty on the part of the director. This waiver may discourage claims and limits the right of shareholders to assert claims against our directors unless the act or failure to act involves fraud, willful default or dishonesty of such director.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and, as a result, in the future we may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.

We are, and, upon completion of this offering, we will continue to be a “controlled company,” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market rules, because FBS Global Limited holds, and will continue to own, more than 50% of our voting power. For as long as we remain a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from the obligation to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

● the requirement that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and

● the requirement that we have a corporate governance and nominating committee, composed entirely of independent directors, with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

As a result, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market rules, if we use these exemptions. We do not currently intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.

As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last Business Day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on June 30, 2024. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid the loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and 10% shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of the Nasdaq. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer.

Economic substance legislation of the Cayman Islands may adversely impact us or our operations.

As of January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act of the Cayman Islands (the “ES Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are carrying on a “relevant activity” (as defined in the ES Act). As we are a Cayman Islands company, compliance obligations include filing an annual notification for the Company disclosing whether the Company is carrying out any relevant activities within the meaning of the ES Act and if so, whether we have satisfied economic substance tests to the extent required under the ES Act. As it is a new regime, it is anticipated that the ES Act may evolve and be subject to further clarification and amendments. We may need to allocate additional resources to keep updated with these developments, and may have to make changes to our operations in order to comply with all applicable requirements under the ES Act. Failure to satisfy these requirements may subject us to penalties under the ES Act.

27

We will incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq.

We will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses as a public reporting company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company. For example, we will be required to comply with the additional requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq rules, including applicable corporate governance practices. We expect that compliance with these requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we expect that our management and other personnel will need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. We cannot predict or estimate the number of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidelines are provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may also initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.

Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB, rule changes by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Company Accounting Act (“HFCAA”) all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our continued listing or future offerings of our securities in the U.S.

On December 18, 2020, the former U.S. president signed into law the HFCAA. In essence, the HFCAA requires the SEC to prohibit foreign companies from listing securities on U.S. securities exchanges if a company retains a foreign accounting firm that cannot be inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, beginning in 2021. On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCAA. On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA which will go into effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Registrar. The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection.

On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a new rule related to its responsibilities under the HFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. The new rule became effective on November 4, 2021. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report notifying the SEC of its determinations (the “PCAOB Determination Report”) that they are unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. The report sets forth lists identifying the registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, respectively, that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely.

This lack of PCAOB inspections of audit work performed in the PRC prevents the PCAOB from regularly and fully evaluating audit work of any auditors that was performed in the PRC. As a result, investors may be deprived of the full benefits of PCAOB inspections, and thus may lose confidence in our and the PRC operating entities reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our and the PRC operating entities’ financial statements.

Our former auditor Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), and our current auditor, Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”), the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, are subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess their compliance with the applicable professional standards. Marcum Asia and Friedman are both headquartered in New York, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis with the last inspection in 2020 and, as of the date of this prospectus, was not included in the list of PCAOB Identified Firms in the PCAOB Determination Report issued in December 16, 2021.

On August 26, 2022, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) signed a Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong. The Protocol remains unpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination. On December 29, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act as a part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, amending the HFCAA and requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchange if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three consecutive years. The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiating new investigations, as needed. The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA, if necessary. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with requirements imposed by U.S. regulators if there is a significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, or if any component of our auditor’s work papers become located in mainland China in the future. Delisting of our Ordinary Shares would force holders of our Ordinary Shares to sell their Ordinary Shares. The market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected as a result of anticipated negative impacts of these executive or legislative actions upon, regardless of whether these executive or legislative actions are implemented and regardless of our actual operating performance.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Our Company is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide less protection for investors as compared to the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the U.S. federal courts.

28

All of our current operations are conducted outside of the United States and all of our current assets are located outside of the United States, with the majority of our operations and current assets being located in Singapore. All of the directors and executive officers of our Company and the auditors of our Company reside outside the United States and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or any such persons, or to enforce in the United States any judgment obtained in the U.S. courts against us or any of such persons, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws or any U.S. state or territory.

We have appointed Cogency Global Inc., 122 E. 42^nd Street, 18^th Floor, New York, New York 10168 as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

Cayman Islands

Conyers Dill & Pearman Pte. Ltd., our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of the United States courts obtained against us or our directors or executive officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or executive officers that are predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands counsel Conyers Dill & Pearman Pte. Ltd. that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments with the United States), the courts of the Cayman Islands may recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States against the Company under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) or, in certain circumstances, an in personam judgment for non-monetary relief, and may give a judgment based thereon provided that (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (b) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the Cayman Islands; (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands; (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the Cayman Islands; and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the Cayman Islands. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Singapore

Dentons is our counsel regarding Singapore law and has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether judgments of courts in the United States based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States will be recognized or enforced by the Singapore courts, and there is doubt as to whether the Singapore courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in the Singapore courts based solely on the civil liability provisions of these securities laws. An in personam final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a fixed or ascertainable sum of money is payable may generally be enforced as a debt in the Singapore courts under the common law by an action commenced in the Singapore courts for the amount due, provided that the foreign judgment cannot be impeached for any error, whether in fact or law, and it is established that the Singapore courts have jurisdiction over the judgment debtor. However, the Singapore courts are unlikely to enforce a foreign judgment if (a) the foreign judgment is inconsistent with a prior local judgment that is binding on the same parties; (b) the enforcement of the foreign judgment would contravene the public policy of Singapore; (c) the proceedings in which the foreign judgment was obtained were contrary to principles of natural justice; (d) the foreign judgment was obtained by fraud; (e) the enforcement of the foreign judgment amounts to the direct or indirect enforcement of a foreign penal, revenue or other public law.

We have been further advised by our Singapore counsel Dentons that, in particular, the Singapore Courts may potentially not allow the enforcement of any foreign judgment for a sum payable arising from any penal, revenue or public law of a foreign state, which may include the judgments of courts in the United States based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States. In respect of civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities laws that permit punitive damages against us and our directors or executive officers, we are unaware of any reported decision by the Singapore courts that has considered the specific issue of whether a judgment of a United States court based on such civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States is enforceable in Singapore.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from the sale of Ordinary Shares of approximately $[8.6] million, based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $[4.00] per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

Each $0.25 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $[4.00] per share, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $[0.62] million, assuming the number of shares offered, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

●  30% of the net proceeds for M&A projects, partnerships and future business development;

● 30% of the net proceeds to expand our existing locations to develop new customers by hiring more qualified personnel and undertake more marketing efforts;

● 10% of the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes; and

● 30% of the net proceeds for research and development and artificial intelligence analytics for new green building materials.

The precise amounts and percentage of proceeds we would devote to particular categories of activity will depend on prevailing market and business conditions as well as particular opportunities that may arise from time to time, and in the event that we have insufficient proceeds to fund all projects, we will prioritize them in the order listed above and seek alternative debt financing for additional funds, if needed. This expected use of our net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including any unforeseen cash needs. Similarly, the priority of our prospective uses of proceeds will depend on business and market conditions as they develop. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of the offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus. We intend to invest our net proceeds in short-term, interest bearing, investment-grade obligations when the net proceeds are pending on utilizing.

Although we may use a portion of the proceeds for the acquisition of, or investment in, companies, technologies, products or assets that complement our business, we have no present understandings, commitments or agreements to enter into any acquisitions or make any investments. We cannot assure you that we will make any acquisitions or investments in the future.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2023:

●  on an actual basis; and

●  on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect our unaudited capitalization as of September 30, 2023, as adjusted to reflect the receipt of the net proceeds from the sale by us in this offering of 1,875,000 Ordinary Shares at an assumed initial public offering price of US$[4.00] per Ordinary Share, after deducting US$[0.77] in estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

DIVIDENDS

The dividend balance as of September 30, 2023 is SGD5,817,274, and as of the date of this prospectus, we have made no subsequent dividend payment. We do not currently intend to declare a dividend on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future after this offering. If we decide in the future to declare a dividend, our board of directors shall take into account, among other things, the following factors when deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount: (a) operating and financial results; (b) cash flow situation; (c) business conditions and strategies; (d) future operations and earning (e) taxation considerations; (f) interim dividend paid, if any; (g) capital requirement and expenditure plans; (h) interests of shareholders; (i) statutory and regulatory restrictions; (j) any restrictions on payment of dividends; and (k) any other factors that our Board may consider relevant. Currently, we do not have any predetermined dividend distribution ratio.

The payment of dividends will be determined at the discretion of our board of directors and is also subject to Cayman Islands law and our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, as amended from time to time. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of profits or its share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid out of the share premium account unless, immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, we are a holding company and depend on the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares.

There are no foreign exchange controls or foreign exchange regulations under current applicable laws of the various places of incorporation of our significant subsidiaries that would affect the payment or remittance of dividends.

DILUTION

Investors purchasing our Ordinary Shares in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of their Ordinary Shares. Dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value represents the difference between the initial public offering price of our Ordinary Shares and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Ordinary Shares immediately after the offering.

Historical net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets (total assets excluding deferred offering costs and deferred tax assets) less total liabilities, divided by the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. After giving effect to the sale of Ordinary Shares in this offering by the Company at an initial public offering price of US$[4.00] per share, after deducting US$[637,500] in underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately US$[426,647], the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 would have been approximately US$[9.2] million, or US$[0.71] per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of US$[0.46] per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of US$[3.29] per share to new investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a Singapore based green building contractor and an established interior fit-out specialist with a track record of over 20 years in institutional, residential, commercial and industrial building projects. As a green contractor focused on environmentally sound practices, we aim to bid tenders for green building projects, use green construction methods and green materials for our construction projects, including design, supply and installation of ceilings, partitions, timber deck, carpet, lead lining, acoustic wall paneling, built-in furniture as well as mechanical and electrical services of a building. Green construction methods and materials will lead to the reduction in energy, water and material resource usage in construction projects. and hence reduce the potential environmental impact. We also seek to use green materials that are made of recycled or recyclable materials and/or sustainably sourced materials.

We also try to recommend and introduce green features to the buildings we construct. Green buildings are generally more energy efficient than conventional buildings. Some of the key features that might be commonly found in green buildings are:

●  Improved glass insulation to reduce solar heating through windows;

●  Increased natural light, energy efficient lighting devices, and equipment-controlled lighting;

●  Energy efficient cooling plants and ventilation systems for air conditioning;

●  Building management systems to monitor and control equipment and optimize energy use; and

●  The use of photovoltaic cells for solar projects.

We are engaged in interior fitting-out works for mixed developments, private residential developments, hospitals and commercial developments. Notable projects in the last five years include Marina One, a mixed development at Marina Bay, Sengkang General Hospital, Outram Community Hospital and South Beach Development, a mixed development at downtown Singapore. Our main construction projects during the last five years include two industrial buildings, two private residential properties and an additional and alterations, or A&A, project to a hotel.

Please refer to the section entitled “Business - Overview” of this Prospectus for further details.

Revenue

Our revenue is derived mainly from the following revenue streams: (i) construction contracts and (ii) sales of construction materials.

The following table presents revenue by major revenue type for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30
	2022 S$		2023 S$		2023 US$		Variances %
Revenue from construction contracts		8,943,753		8,981,864		6,646,579		0.4
Sales of construction materials		45,775		4,000		2,960		(91.3	)
Total		8,989,528		8,985,864		6,649,539		(0.0	)

For all major revenue types, revenue is derived from individual contracts/projects on a non-recurring basis. Revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity, using the input method, whereby the actual construction costs to date was compared to the total budgeted costs for a project to estimate the revenue recognized.

35

The total revenue of the Company was approximately S$9.0 million (US$6.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a slight decrease of approximately S$3,700 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased revenue from material supplies for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The revenue from construction contracts increased by approximately S$38,100, or 0.4% from approximately S$8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$9.0 million (US$6.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of revenue from construction contracts was primarily the result of the new projects that commenced during the beginning of the year.

The revenue generated by sales of construction materials decreased by approximately S$42,000, or 91.3% from approximately S$46,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$4,000 (US$3,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the higher material pricing in the market after COVID-19 charged by suppliers, that negatively impacted sales as some customers opted not to purchase at these higher prices.

The major factors affecting our revenue include the following:

- Our ability to secure new contracts and the value of these contracts as our revenue is derived on a project by project, non-recurring basis. This is in turn dependent on several other factors such as our pricing, our project track record/ execution capability, our reputation and the competitive environment;

- our ability to maintain our business relationship with our customers, in particular with main contractors for future invitations to quote for interior fitting-out works;

- our ability to complete the projects on a timely basis and deliver quality works. This is in turn dependent on the timeliness of material delivery, quality of our subcontractors and our workers, and our project management expertise. The overall construction schedule on-site is also affected by many factors, which are not within our control. As our revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion, our revenue is dependent not only on the number of projects, their contract value, but also on the amount of works completed;

- our ability to remain competitive, whether in pricing or in our ability to respond to customers’ needs or in the adoption of construction technologies (where required);

- changes in laws and regulations that affect (i) the construction industry in the countries we operate in, which amongst others, may in turn affect our ability to conduct certain scope of works or employ workers; and (ii) the property segments, such as government spending on hospitals, or legislations that affect the property market;

- the overall construction industry in the countries we operate in and the overall macroeconomic conditions; and

- our ability to continue to retain the services of our key management personnel, in particular our Executive Directors who are leading the Group in business development and project management.

Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this prospectus for a more comprehensive discussion of other factors which may affect our business operations and financial performance.

Cost of revenue

Our cost of revenue refers to direct costs incurred in the process of carrying out project activities. It includes subcontracting costs, direct material costs, labor cost, equipment rental costs and overhead costs. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract value, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.

Our projects typically do not allow for any adjustments to the contract value in the event there is an escalation in our costs during the course of the project. Any increase in those costs will be borne by us and will have an impact on our eventual profit margins. Additional costs due to additional work from variation orders have to be borne by us until customers make payment in respect of such variation orders.

The breakdown of our cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 is set out below:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2023		2023		Variances
	S$		S$		US$		%
Subcontracting costs		3,544,729		3,278,935		2,426,412		(7.5	)
Material costs		2,439,951		2,466,849		1,825,468		1.1
Labor costs		1,058,141		1,795,814		1,328,902		69.7
Equipment rental costs		55,642		70,404		52,099		26.5
Overhead costs		45,055		217,535		160,976		382.8
Total		7,143,518		7,829,537		5,793,857		9.6

The total cost of revenue increased by approximately S$0.7 million, or 9.6% from approximately S$7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$7.8 million (US$5.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The cost of revenue for subcontracting decreased by approximately S$266,000, or 7.5% from approximately S$3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$3.3 million (US$2.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of cost of revenue in connection with subcontracting cost due to us using our own manpower rather than engaging in subcontractors for the projects, and correspondingly lead to a higher cost of direct labor for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The cost of material increased by approximately S$27,000, or 1.1% from approximately S$2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$2.4 million (US$1.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cost of material was due to the inflation and the initial startup stage of the 5 projects during the six months end June 30, 2023.

The cost of direct labor increased by approximately S$738,000, or 69.7% from approximately S$1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$1.8 million (US$1.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of cost of direct labor was mainly due to the use of our own manpower instead of engaging subcontractors for the projects during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as mentioned above.

The cost of equipment rental increased by approximately S$15,000, or 26.5% from approximately S$56,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$70,000 (US$52,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of cost of equipment rental was in line with our increase in cost of material for projects undertaken in 2023.

The cost of overhead increased by approximately S$172,000, or 382.8% from approximately S$45,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$218,000 (US$161,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of cost of overhead was the result of increase in professional fees that mainly resulted from a builder project at 2 Tuas Avenue 6 Singapore.

The breakdown of our cost of revenues by revenue types is set out below:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2023		2023		Variances
	S$		S$		US$		%
Construction contracts		7,114,168		7,829,537		5,793,857		10.0
Sales of construction materials		29,350		-		-		(100.0	)
Total		7,143,518		7,829,537		5,793,857		9.6

The total cost of revenue from construction contracts increased by approximately S$715,000, or approximately 10.0% from approximately S$7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$7.8 million (US$5.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increase in new projects taken in 2023 during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The cost of revenue from sales of construction materials decreased by approximately S$29,000, or 100.0% from approximately S$29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$0 (US$0) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in corresponding revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Our cost of revenue is mainly dependent on the following factors:

- We rely on the services of our subcontractors to carry out certain portions of work undertaken by us, such as installation of interior fitting-out works, builder works, mechanical and electrical engineering works. Subcontracting costs are affected by the market demand and supply of qualified subcontractors as well as the government policies regulating the supply and availability of foreign workers;

- Material costs mainly related to supplies purchased for installation of interior fitting-out works, whose underlying raw materials included gypsum (that are used in plasterboards) and steel (that are used for fastening). However, the cost of the supplies to us are also affected by factors such as market demand and supply conditions and consideration of the size of the project, our payment terms and our relationship with our suppliers;

- Labor costs relate to the salaries, Central Provident Fund (“CPF”) contributions, foreign worker levy and bonus for employees whose work is directly associated with on-site works. Labor costs are affected by government policies, the demand and supply of workers, the competition for workers and general wage trend of the construction industry;

- Equipment rental fees relate to the fees paid for equipment that we do not own, typically for cranes, excavator, boom lifts, forklifts, scissor lifts. The equipment rental fees are affected by the availability, demand and supply of such rental equipment and the duration for which we have to rent them; and

- Overhead costs relate to fees such as depreciation, freight charges, professional fees (for instance, professional engineering fees), repair and maintenance, site expenses and testing fees.

Our cost of revenue is affected by the following factors:

- the changes in prices of construction materials;

- changes in government regulations and requirements, which may in turn affect labor costs and subcontracting costs;

- the level of competition, demand and supply for resources deployed at the project site;

- variation orders and works carried out during the defect liability period, which may incur costs without corresponding revenue or revenue recognized in the same financial period;

- site progress, including delays which may lead to cost overrun;

- government regulations and requirements as changes in regulations and requirements in relation to employment of foreign workers, for example, may result in higher compliance costs; and

- our ability to manage projects effectively and avoid cost over runs.

Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus for other factors which may affect our cost of sales.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit from our major revenue type is summarized as follows:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022			2023			2023		Variances
	S$			S$			US$		%
Construction contracts
Gross profit		1,829,585			1,152,327			852,722		(37.0	)
Gross profit margin		20.5	%		12.8	%
Sales of construction materials
Gross profit		16,425			4,000			2,960		(75.6	)
Gross profit margin		35.9	%		100.0	%
Total
Gross profit		1,846,010			1,156,327			855,682		(37.4	)
Gross profit margin		20.5	%		12.9	%

Our gross profit decreased by approximately S$0.6 million, or 37.4% from approximately S$1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$1.2 million (US$0.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the increase in cost of revenue resulting from high labor cost and material cost for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Gross profit from construction contracts decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 37% from approximately S$1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$1.2 million (US$0.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was partly due to the increase in unit material and labor costs and partly due to decrease in revenue generated from relatively smaller sized projects with lower gross profit undertaken in 2023, as compared to 2022.

Gross profit from sales of construction materials decreased by approximately S$12,000 or 75.6% from approximately S$16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$4,000 (US$3,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in corresponding revenue resulting from the lack of material demand as a result of higher material pricing.

The gross profit margin decreased by 7.6% from 20.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to increase in cost of revenue resulting from high labor cost and material cost for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of provision for doubtful accounts and general administrative expenses. General administrative expenses mainly comprised directors’ remuneration, staff costs, professional fees, depreciation, rental expenses, property-related expenses such as property tax and maintenance fees and upkeep of motor vehicles.

The provision for doubtful accounts increased by approximately S$316,000, or 434.44% from approximately S$73,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$388,000 (US$287,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the recognition of allowance for contract assets of approximately S$375,200 (US277,700), which were mainly resulting from two projects recognized under a customer who was under provisional liquidation, as well as two other projects that we have determined the probability of collection to be remote. Hence, we believe such outstanding balances will not be recovered and made provision for these projects.

The breakdown of the general and administration expenses are shown as follows:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2023		2023		Variances
	S$		S$		US$		%
Employees’ salaries and benefit		347,683		416,380		308,121		19.8
Depreciation		68,947		81,157		60,056		17.7
Legal and Professional fees		539,994		611,280		452,347		13.2
Administrative expenses		136,388		140,033		103,625		2.7
Other expenses		23,215		19,258		14,251		(17.0	)
Total		1,116,227		1,268,108		938,400		13.6

39

Our general and administration expenses increased by approximately S$152,000, or 13.6% from approximately S$1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$1.3 million (US$938,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increase in professional fees of approximately S$71,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which mainly constitute audit fees.

Other Incomes (expenses)

Our other incomes (expenses) consist of interest expenses, finance cost, other income, and foreign exchange gain (loss). Other incomes (expenses) decreased by approximately S$159,000, or 99.7% from approximately S$159,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$500 (US$400) for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Interest expenses increased by approximately S$4,000, or 11.0% from approximately S$36,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$39,000 (US$29,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in interest charges for bank borrowings and finance lease.

Finance expense decreased by approximately S$9,000, or 65.1% from approximately S$14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$5,000 (US$4,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in bank charges for transaction activities.

Other income, consisting mainly of government grants and subsidies, decreased by approximately S$129,000, or 80.2% from approximately S$160,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$32,000 (US$23,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction of government grants and subsidies for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Foreign exchange gain decreased approximately S$36,000, or 72.9% from a gain of approximately S$49,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$13,000 (US$10,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The exchange rate differences were the result of our current account that was denominated in USD as compared to the Company’s books and records using SGD.

Income tax expense

Our income tax expense decreased by approximately S$104,000, or 74.5% from approximately S$140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately S$36,000 (US$ 26,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the above-mentioned factors resulting from decrease in income before provisions for income taxes.

Net Income (loss)

As a result of the foregoing, we reported a net loss of S$535,235 (US$396,074) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net income of S$676,601 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of S$1,211,836 or 179.1%.

Earnings per Share

Our earning per share decreased by approximately S$0.11, or 179% from approximately S$0.06 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately (S$0.05) (US$0.04) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The computation of earnings per share is based on 11,250,000 shares of the total issued and outstanding shares of our Ordinary Shares, retrospectively after a reorganization of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and loans from banks and related parties, if necessary. Our principal uses of cash were for working capital, repayment of banking facilities and interest expenses, and capital expenditure. We plan to support our future operations primarily from cash generated from our operations and our initial public offering proceeds.

As reflected in our consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of S$535,235 (US$396,074) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a net income of $676,601 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing a decrease of S$1,211,836. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and restricted cash in aggregate of S$2,538,522 (US$1,878,506), as compared to S$1,989,817 as of December 31, 2022. We had positive working capital that amounted to S$1,288,812 (US$953,720) and S$2,165,248, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the size of our operations, the volume and dollar value of our sales contracts, the progress of execution on our customer contracts, and the timing for collecting accounts receivable, and repayment of accounts payable.

Based on the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the audited consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022, our total equity amounted to approximately S$4.6 million (US$3.4 million) and S$5.1 million, and our total indebtedness (calculated based on bank borrowings, financing lease liabilities, amounts due to related parties) amounted to approximately S$2.9 million (US$2.1 million) and S$3.0 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our debt equity ratio, defined as total indebtedness divided by total equity, were 0.6 times and 0.6 times, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our working capital ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, were 1.1 times and 1.2 times, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash at bank of approximately S$2.5 million and had total bank borrowings of approximately S$2.5 million.

We believe that our current cash and cash flows provided by operating activities and loans from banks will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs in the next 12 months from the date the unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. If we experience an adverse operating environment or incur unanticipated capital expenditure requirements, or if we determine to accelerate our growth, then additional financing may be required. No assurance can be given, however, that additional financing, if required, would be available at all or on favorable terms. Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale of additional equity securities. Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to our existing shareholders.

The following table sets out a summary of our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 2022 and 2023.

	For the year ended June 30,
	2022 Unaudited			2023 Unaudited			2023 Unaudited
	S$			S$			US$

Seasonality

Due to the nature of our business which is mainly project-based, we have not observed any significant seasonal trends. Our directors believe that there is no apparent seasonality factor affecting the industry that our Group is operating in.

Inflation

Our financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 was not materially affected by inflation and we have not experienced inflation materially impacting our business. In the event inflation continues, we may see an increase in the cost of materials and labor, and increased cost of financing costs in the event we need to utilize credit facilities, which increased costs of doing business would negatively impact our financial performance.

42

Capital Expenditures

The capital expenditures made by us for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 were approximately S$9,000 and S$3,000, respectively on the purchase of equipment.

Trend Information

Other than as disclosed in “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Business – We are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operation results or financial condition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial relationships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangement or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome arising out of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations on an individual basis or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, FBS SG is a party to legal or administrative proceedings for cases below.

In August 2021, Newspaper Seng Pte Ltd filed a claim against FBS SG for an amount of approximately $2.2 million. Newspaper Seng claim that they have entered an oral agreement with FBS SG in September 2015 to purchase a land and building at 54 Pandan Road, Singapore 609292 for redevelopment, and sale or commercial utilization of the land, whereby Newspaper Seng would invest monies and FBS SG would be in charge of the purchase, redevelopment and commercial utilization of the property. Newspaper Seng alleged that in November 2019, FBS SG transferred the property to a third party without the acknowledgment of Newspaper Seng and has sought to claim back the amount stated above for alleged breach of the oral agreement. The case was dismissed on February 16, 2023 and judgment was entered in favor of FBS SG’s Counterclaim. On March 10, 2023, Newspaper Seng Pte Ltd filed an application to set aside the dismissal order (the “Setting Aside Application”). The parties are due to appear before the Court for the next Pre-Trial Conference on March 23, 2024.

Mr. Lau’s solicitors discharged themselves of their representation and Mr. Lau indicated his intent to represent Newspaper Seng in the proceeding; however, the Court said this was impermissible. If Mr. Lau does not retain counsel, the Company’s striking out application to close the matter is expected to be granted. If Newspaper Seng retains counsel and intends to contest the striking out application, their reply affidavit is due by 15 February 2024 with a hearing to take place on February 28, 2024, regardless of whether or not counsel has been retained by Newspaper Seng at this time. In the meantime, legal counsel for the Company is in discussion with Mr. Lau to withdraw the suit against the Company. We expect the matter to be resolved favorably to the Company either through agreement or determination by the court in the first quarter of 2024.

Revenue

Our revenue is derived mainly from the following revenue streams: (i) construction contracts and (ii) sales of construction materials.

The following table presents revenue by major revenue type for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively:

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2021 S$		2022 S$		2022 US$		Variances %
Revenue from construction contracts		22,176,438		16,766,550		12,574,912		(24.4)
Sales of construction materials		553,199		57,618		43,214		(89.6)
Rendering of services		5,485		—		—		(100.0)
Total		22,735,122		16,824,168		12,618,126		(26.0)

For all major revenue types, revenue is derived from individual contracts/projects on a non-recurring basis. Revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity, using the input method, whereby the actual construction costs to date was compared to the total budgeted costs for a project to estimate the revenue recognized.

The total revenue decreased by approximately S$5.9 million, or 26.0% from approximately S$22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$16.8 million (US$12.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased revenue generated from a larger project undertaken in 2021 as compared to 2022, when there was not a particular large project undertaken. The project size and the duration of completion of the projects vary and are based on mandates won.

45

The revenue from construction contracts decreased by approximately S$5.4 million, or 24.4% from approximately S$22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$16.8 million (US$12.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of revenue from construction contracts was primarily the result of a decrease in sizeable projects undertaken for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year 2021. Although the total number of projects that contributed to revenue from construction contracts was 18 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 11 for the year ended December 31, 2021, the projects in 2022 were generally smaller, accounting for the commensurate decrease in revenue.

The revenue generated by sales of construction materials decreased by approximately S$496,000, or 89.6% from approximately S$553,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$58,000 (US$43,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in sales of construction material was mainly due to the lack of material demand as a result of higher material pricing due to COVID-19 that negatively impacted sales.

The revenue from rendering services is related to secondment of labor from the Company to other non-related companies. The revenue from rendering services decreased by approximately S$5,000, or 100.0% from approximately S$5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to none ($0) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was the result of no secondment of our manpower to other companies for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The breakdown of our cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 is set out below:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2022		2022		Variances
	S$		S$		US$		%
Subcontracting costs		10,739,251		6,554,587		4,915,940		(39.0)
Material costs		5,890,659		5,375,194		4,031,395		(8.8)
Labor costs		1,899,143		2,344,686		1,758,515		23.5
Equipment rental costs		172,723		146,034		109,525		(15.5)
Overhead costs		188,648		222,285		166,714		17.8
Total		18,890,424		14,642,786		10,982,089		(22.5)

The total cost of revenue decreased by approximately S$4.2 million, or 22.5% from approximately S$18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$14.6 million (US$11.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The cost of revenue for subcontracting decreased by approximately S$4.2 million, or 39.0% from approximately S$10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$6.6 million (US$4.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of cost of revenue in connection with subcontracting cost was the results of decrease in revenue that needed to hire less subcontractors in year 2022.

The cost of material decreased by approximately S$515,000, or 8.8% from approximately S$5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$5.4 million (US$4.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of cost of material costs was in line with our decrease in revenue, and the unit material costs increased with total consumption amount dropped.

The cost of direct labor increased by approximately S$446,000, or 23.5% from approximately S$1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$2.3 million (US$1.8 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of cost of direct labor was the result of the increase in wages due to inflation.

The cost of equipment rental decreased by approximately S$27,000, or 15.5% from approximately S$173,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$146,000 (US$110,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of cost of equipment rental was in line with our decrease in revenue for relatively smaller projects undertaken in 2022.

46

The cost of overhead increased by approximately S$34,000, or 17.8% from approximately S$189,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$222,000 (US$167,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of cost of overhead was the result of increase site expenses such as COVID-19 testing expenses for the need to the compliance of special hygienic precautions taken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The breakdown of our cost of revenues by revenue types is set out below:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2022		2022		Variances
	S$		S$		US$		%
Construction contracts		18,468,608		14,602,723		10,952,042		(20.9)

Total		18,890,424		14,642,786		10,982,089		(22.5)

Total cost of revenue from construction contracts decreased by approximately S$3.9 million, or approximately 20.9% from approximately S$18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$14.6 million (US$11.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in corresponding revenue resulting from smaller projects during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The cost revenue from sales of construction materials decreased by approximately S$380,000, or 90.4% from approximately S$418,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$40,000 (US$30,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased in corresponding revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The cost of revenue from rendering services decreased by approximately S$4,000, or 100.0% from approximately S$4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to none (US$0) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased in corresponding revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit from our major revenue type is summarized as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2022		2022		Variances
	S$		S$		US$		%
Construction contracts

Gross profit		3,844,698		2,181,382		1,636,037		(43.3)
Gross profit margin		16.9%		13.0%

Our gross profit decreased by approximately S$1.7 million, or 43.3% from approximately S$3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$2.2 million (US$1.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue resulting from undertaking smaller projects as compared to the projects undertaken during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Gross profit from construction contracts decreased by approximately S$1.5 million, or 41.6% from approximately S$3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$2.2 million (US$1.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was partly due to the increase in unit material and labor costs and partly due to decrease in revenue generated from relatively smaller sized projects undertaken in 2022, as compared to 2021, when we had a larger sized project (the Orchard Mandarin project), which was primarily completed in 2021. Larger sized projects in general generate higher gross profit.

Gross profit from sales of construction materials decreased by approximately S$117,000 or 87.0% from approximately S$135,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$18,000 (US$13,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in corresponding revenue resulting from the lack of material demand as a result of higher material pricing that negatively impacted sales.

Gross profit from rendering of services decreased by approximately S$2,000 or 100.0% from approximately S$2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to nil (US$0) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was the result of the decrease in corresponding revenue because of no secondment of our manpower to other companies for the need of focusing on our own projects for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The gross profit margin decreased by 3.9% from 16.9% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 13.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to taking on smaller projects in 2022. The Orchard Mandarin project was a relatively large project completed primarily in year 2021 that generated higher profit margins in that year.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of provision for doubtful accounts and general administrative expenses. General administrative expenses mainly comprised directors’ remuneration, staff costs, professional fees, depreciation, rental expenses, property-related expenses such as property tax and maintenance fees and upkeep of motor vehicles.

47

The provision for doubtful accounts from a related party decreased by approximately S$582,000, or 97.1% from approximately S$600,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$17,000 (US$13,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. All the uncollectable receivables from this related party have been fully reserved as allowance for doubtful accounts.

The breakdown of the general and administration expenses are shown as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2022		2022		Variances
	S$		S$		US$		%
Employees’ salaries and benefit		870,121		749,772		562,329		(13.8)
Depreciation		152,026		146,709		110,032		(3.5)

Administrative expenses		270,219		295,595		221,696		9.4
Other expenses		46,985		62,405		46,804		32.8
Total		1,514,399		2,089,611		1,567,208		38.0

Our general and administration expenses increased by approximately S$575,000, or 38.0% from approximately S$1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$2.1 million (US$1.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to the increase in professional fees of approximately S$660,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. These professional fees incurred resulting from the preparation of this Offering which mainly constitute audit fees. Once we become a publicly listed company upon the completion of this Offering, we expect our legal and professional fees for legal, audit, and advisory services will remain high and continue to incur.

Other Incomes (expenses)

Our other incomes (expenses) consist of interest expenses, finance cost, other income, and foreign exchange gain (loss). Other incomes (expenses) decreased by approximately S$275,000, or 66.8% from approximately S$411,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$136,000 (US$102,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest charges for bank borrowings and finance lease.

Finance expense decreased by approximately S$1,000, or 16.8% from approximately S$8,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$7,000 (US$5,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in bank charges for transaction activities.

Other income, consisting mainly of government grants and subsidies, decreased by approximately S$179,000, or 44.6% from approximately S$401,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$222,000 (US$167,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction of government grants and subsidies for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Foreign exchange gain decreased approximately S$99,000, or 95.7% from a gain of approximately S$103,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$5,000 (US$3,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The exchange rate differences were the result of raw material supplies to a joint venture that were denominated in USD as compared to the Company’s books and records using SGD.

Income tax expense

Our income tax expense decreased by approximately S$222,000, or 60.9% from approximately S$364,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately S$142,000 (US$ 106,000) for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the above-mentioned factors resulting from decrease in income before provisions for income taxes.

48

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, we reported a net income of S$68,627 (US$51,471) for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to S$1,777,798 for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of S$1,709,171 or 96.1%.

Earnings per Share

Our earning per share decreased by approximately S$0.15, or 93.8% from approximately S$0.16 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately 0.01 (US$0.01) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The computation of earnings per share is based on 11,250,000 shares of the total issued and outstanding shares of our Ordinary Shares, retrospectively after a reorganization of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As reflected in our consolidated financial statements, we had a net profit of S$68,627 (US$51,471) for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $1,777,798 for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of S$1,709,171 of 96.1%. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and restricted cash in aggregate of S$1,989,817 (US$1,492,363), as compared to S$3,670,005 as of December 31, 2021. We had positive working capital that amounted to S$2,165,248 (US$1,623,936) and S$2,311,442, as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the size of our operations, the volume and dollar value of our sales contracts, the progress of execution on our customer contracts, and the timing for collecting accounts receivable, and repayment of accounts payable.

Based on the audited consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022, our total equity amounted to approximately S$5.1 million (US$3.8 million) and S$3.8 million, and our total indebtedness (calculated based on bank borrowings, financing lease liabilities, amounts due to related parties) amounted to approximately S$3.0 million (US$2.3 million) and S$4.9 million, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our debt equity ratio, defined as total indebtedness divided by total equity, were 0.6 times and 1.3 times, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our working capital ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, were 1.2 times and 1.2 times, respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, we had cash at bank of approximately S$2.0 million and had total bank borrowings of S$2.8 million.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to S$435,236 (US$326,426) for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was mainly derived from cash provided from operating activities of (i) net income of S$68,627; (ii) various net cash items of S$165,058, such as depreciation of property and equipment, provision for doubtful accounts, and deferred income taxes; (iii) an increase in accounts payable of S$802,001, due to more billings from subcontractors and suppliers on services requested closer to the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to that of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021; and (iv) a decrease in account receivable of S$1,276,371, due to the fact that more account receivables balance were received for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The cash provided from operating activities was offset by the cash used in operating activities, including (i) an increase in contract assets of S$435,598, due to the service performed but not yet billed for the year ended December 31, 2022; and (ii) a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of S$1,524,719, due to more payments made for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to S$1,473,810 for the year ended December 31, 2021, mainly derived from cash provided from operating activities of (i) net income of S$1,777,798 for the year ended December 31, 2021; (ii) various non-cash items of S$697,793, such as depreciation of property and equipment, provision for doubtful accounts and deferred income taxes; (iii) an increase in accounts payable of S$352,274, due to more billings from subcontractors and suppliers on services requested closer to the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to that of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 when it was badly hit by the COVID-19 pandemic; and (iv) an increase in contract liabilities of S$671,504, as we increased billings due to a major project under contract.

Inflation

Our financial performance for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 was not materially affected by inflation and we have not experienced inflation materially impacting our business. In the event inflation continues, we may see an increase in the cost of materials and labor, and increased cost of financing costs in the event we need to utilize credit facilities, which increased costs of doing business would negatively impact our financial performance.

Divestments

The Group did not have any divestments made for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

Trend Information

We are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operation results or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). And it is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Out of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form F-1, certain accounting policies are deemed “critical,” as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions.

While management believes its judgments, estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based on historical experience and information presently available and actual results may differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company adopted the revenue standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, starting January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of the date of adoption. The adoption of this ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company enters into agreements with customers that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as services transfer to the customer. It is customary practice for the Company to have the agreements with its customers in writing. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the applicable agreement.

Construction projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have revenue recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “Contract assets”. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients, in accordance with underlying contract terms, until certain conditions are met or the project is completed.

The Company will recognize the revenue of sales of construction material when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good to the customer. Control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods.

Revenue from rendering of service orders is recognized when the entity satisfied the performance obligation at a point in time generally as the services are provided.

The construction contracts which the Company enters into with the clients are fixed price and provide for milestone billings based upon the attainment of specific project objectives to ensure the Company meets its contractual requirements. Additionally, contracts may include retentions or holdbacks paid at the end of a project to ensure that Company meets the contract requirements. The Company does not assess whether a contract contains a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between payment by the customers and the transfer of promised services to the customers will be less than one year.

Since the Company has concluded that the promises to be delivered on the construction contract would be one single performance obligation, no allocation of the transaction price is required and expected. As a professional interior design and fit-out service provider, the Company recognizes revenue based on the Company’s effort or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation over time as work progresses because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer and the Company’s right to bill the customer as costs are incurred.

The Company’s contract with the customer has payment terms specified based upon certain conditions completed. The Company will submit monthly progress claim to the customer, and after the Company received the certified interim progress certificate, the Company will issue a tax invoice to the customer. The final tax invoice is generally issued after the project completion and agreed by customer and the Company. As the Company’s customers are required to pay the Company at different billing stages over the contract period, as such, the Company believes the progress payments limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk and that the Company would be able to collect substantially all of the consideration gradually at different stages. The timing of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations is based upon the cost-to-cost measure of progress method, which is generally different than the timing of unconditional right of payment, and is based upon certain conditions completed as specified in the contract. The timing between the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations and the unconditional right of payment would contribute to contract assets.

The Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs since costs incurred (an input method) represent a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. This method faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer when the Company is satisfying a performance obligation that entails a number of interrelated tasks or activities for a combined output that requires the Company to coordinate the work of employees and subcontractors. Total estimated contract costs typically include direct labor, subcontract and consultant costs, materials and indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in estimated costs to complete these obligations result in adjustments to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis, which causes the effect of revised estimates to be recognized in the current period. Changes in estimates can routinely occur over the contract term for a variety of reasons including, changes in scope, unanticipated costs, delays or favorable or unfavorable progress than original expectations. When the outcome of the contract cannot be reasonably measured, revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are expected to be recovered.

When the current estimates of the total amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer, and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made as soon as the loss become evident. An adjustment is also made to reflect the effects of the customer’s credit risk. The loss on a contract is reported as an additional contract cost (an operating expense), and not as a reduction of revenue or a non-operating expense.

The Company’s contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of unpriced or pending change orders or claims that either increase or decrease the contract price. Variable consideration is generally estimated using the expected value method but may from time to time be estimated using the most likely amount method depending on the circumstance. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and known trends.

Organization Chart

The chart below sets out our corporate structure immediately after this offering.

Key Milestones

FBS SG was incorporated in 1996 and initially our business was in smaller scale projects as a construction subcontractor.

In 1998, FBS SG was awarded the subcontract for the interior fitting-out works for a hospital project at Simei Road at Changi in Singapore. This was the first in a series of other projects as a subcontractor for interior-fitting out and other related builder works, as we built our track record in larger scale and more technically elaborate institutional, residential, commercial, and industrial projects as well as show flats for condominium buildings for developers.

53

In 2002, we started to undertake projects as a main contractor for the development of single-family homes for personal properties, the first of which was to build a 2-story intermediate terrace dwelling house at Jalan Kembangan in Singapore for the famous potter Mr. Iskandar Jalil that we were able to win by gaining the trust of Mr. Jalil through the design and presentation of our expertise. This was our first project as a main contractor, and as we had no track record as a main contractor in developing a personal property and this was a highly coveted project, this was an important project to win and complete in order for us to gain traction in this new area of work. Thereafter, we were hired to build a show flat (model home) and sales gallery for the developer Guocoland for the launching of the Meyer condominium development in 2005 on Meyer Road, which was also instrumental for us as this was our first project in building a show flat for a developer. With this experience, we started to take on larger scale projects as a subcontractor for interior fitting-out works for private residential projects (such as a condominium project known as The Caribbean at Keppel Bay), commercial projects (such as for an exhibition center) and institutional projects (such as Singapore Management University’s campus at Bukit Timah). During the 2000s, we continued to expand our project and customer portfolio and undertook interior fitting-out works for several larger scale projects such as Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and the condominium complex known as One Shenton and expanded into the construction of factories and bigger residential properties like semi–detached residential houses.

In 2007, we began tendering bids for projects using green mark products and our first project was the Oceanfront condominium complex, which consisted of new erection of a condominium housing development consisting of two block wide 12-story building, a two block wide 14-story building, and a one block 15-story building, for a total of 264 units (with basement carpark & swimming pool) at Ocean Drive at Sentosa Island in Singapore. For this project we built 34,700m2 of drywall partition and 49,000m2 of ceiling.

We achieved another meaningful milestone in 2016, when the Building Construction Authority, or BCA, granted us the honor of building its test bed facility at BCA Academy. The 132 square meter facility has a rotating SkyLab that sits atop a 7-storey building for testing green materials and products under real world conditions and different building rotations. At this time, we also obtained the following new certifications, allowing us to expand the scope of the projects we could take on: bizSAFE, OHSAS 18001:2007, ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004.

Between 2017 and 2019, we gradually upgraded our Contractor Registration Service workheads and certifications under the BCA. As of now, we are certified for building construction services for ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018, which replaced the OHSAS 18001-2007. We are graded L5 under the workhead category CR06 (Interior Decoration and Finishing Works), and B2 under the workhead category CW01 (General Building), and as such, we are qualified for the bidding of certain governmental tender offering projects which require these workhead categories as the pre-requisite. As of the date of this registration statement, we have more than 60 employees.

We also undertook interior fitting-out works for notable projects including Marina One (an integrated development at Marina Bay), Sengkang General Hospital, Outram Community Hospital and South Beach Development, the hotel and residential tower of a mixed development property at downtown Singapore.

As of November 2023, our order book was approximately S$60 million, consisting of approximately S$12 million from ongoing projects and S$48 million from newly awarded projects, which are expected to be recognized as revenue to our Group up to year ended December 31, 2023.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

We obtained statistical data, market data and other industry data and forecasts used in this prospectus from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. The following discussion contains projections for future growth, which may not occur at the rates that are projected or at all.

Among the ASEAN nations, Singapore is at the forefront of green building development. The country’s Green Mark Scheme was the first green building rating system to be designed specifically for the tropical climate and has been widely adopted in other ASEAN countries. Because it is a net oil importer with limited natural resources, Singapore has been proactive in trying to increase the energy efficiency of its buildings. Buildings account for nearly 40% of the city state’s total electricity consumption and over 20% of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Singapore is also a pioneer in setting mandatory environmental standards for buildings. By the end of 2019, more than 40% of the buildings in Singapore had obtained the Green Mark certification. The government’s target is to raise this to 80% by 2030, which means that the country’s demand for green building solutions is expected to increase substantially.

Regional Recognition through Green Label and Certification

The hot weather conditions in Southeast Asia means that there is always a high demand for energy-efficient cooling products, such as insulating glass and air conditioner filters. At the same time, rising environmental awareness in the region has boosted consumer and commercial demand for green products, which has led to an increasing number of companies making eco-friendly claims, like “sustainable” or “green.”

In April 2008, it became mandatory in Singapore for all new buildings, and existing buildings undergoing major retrofits, to attain a minimum score in the national green building rating system – the Green Mark Certification Scheme. Since then, the supply of green building products and materials has expanded significantly. In order to maintain industry standards, the Singapore Green Building Council launched the Green Building Product and Services certification programs to provide a benchmark for the environmental performance of building supplies and services. The programs are recognized by the Green Mark Certification Scheme, which awards additional scores for using certified products.

2022 BCA construction demands

The Building and Construction Authority, or BCA, projected the total value of construction contracts awarded in 2023 to be between S$27 billion and S$32 billion.

BCA encourages companies to continue adopting innovative technologies, upskilling their workforce, using less foreign manpower and becoming more productive and less reliant on labor intensive construction. BCA estimates that approximately 60 per cent of the total construction demand, contributing between S$16 billion and S$19 billion, will likely be from the public sector, amid a strong pipeline of public housing projects, water treatment plants, educational buildings and infrastructure works such as the Cross Island MRT Line.

Meanwhile, construction demand from the private sector is expected to reach between S$11 billion and S$13 billion in 2023, which is comparable with the volume in 2022.

While recent changes in the real estate sector, including additional buyer’s stamp duty, lower loan-to-value limits, and tighter total debt servicing ratio, may moderate residential building demand, we believe that commercial building demand may increase as hotels and attractions undergo refurbishment amid an expected rebound in tourism, and as older commercial premises are earmarked for redevelopment, which may also entail environmental retrofitting. It is also believed that increased growth in certain industrial sectors will correlate to a boost in private industrial building demand due to the construction of energy storage facilities and biopharmaceutical manufacturing plants.

In 2022, the estimated total construction demand was about S$29.8 billion, similar to the $29.9 million recorded in 2021.

As for the medium term, the BCA expects total construction demand to reach between S$25 billion and S$32 billion per year from 2024 to 2027, also led by expected projects in the public sector.

The public sector will continue to lead demand and is expected to contribute S$14 billion to S$18 billion per annum from 2024 to 2027, with about 60% of demand made up by building projects and the rest by civil engineering works. Besides public housing developments, public sector construction demand over the medium term will be supported by various major developments such as mass rapid transit projects that including line extensions and station redevelopment. Private sector construction demand is projected to remain steady over the medium-term, reaching approximately S$11 billion to S$14 billion per annum from 2024 to 2027.

In addition, there are approximately 121 projects in 2023 and 2024 using Design for Manufacture and Assembly technologies (“DfMA”), with the Advanced Precast Concrete System being the most widely used in residential, healthcare and school projects. DfMA is a key pillar of Singapore’s Construction Industry Transformation Map (ITM). It is a game-changing method of construction that involves construction being designed for manufacturing off-site in a controlled environment, before being assembled on-site.

Ready-mixed concrete demand was expected to increase in 2022 to between 12.5 million and 14 million cubic meters, from 11.6 million cubic meters in 2021. Demand for precast concrete had also been projected to rise in 2022 to between 1.6 million and 1.8 million cubic meters, up from 1.1 million cubic meters in 2021, while steel rebar demand was expected to climb to between 1 million and 1.2 million tons, up from 0.9 million tons in 2021.

BUSINESS

Overview

We are a Singapore based green building contractor and an established interior fit-out specialist with a track record of over 20 years in institutional, residential, commercial and industrial building projects. As a green contractor, we seek to tender bids for green building projects, use green construction methods, and sustainably-source and environmentally responsible materials for our construction projects. Green construction methods and materials will lead to the reduction in energy, water and material resource usage in construction projects thus reducing the potential environmental impact.

We also try to recommend and introduce green features to the buildings we construct. Green buildings are generally more energy efficient than conventional buildings. Some of the key features that might be commonly found in green buildings in Singapore are:

● Improved glass insulation to reduce solar heating through windows;

● Increased natural light, energy efficient lighting devices, and equipment- controlled lighting;

● Energy efficient cooling plants and ventilation systems for air conditioning;

● Building management systems to monitor and control equipment and optimize energy use; and

● The use of photovoltaic cells in solar projects.

Projects with BCA Green Mark Award

We have completed multiple projects in Singapore that received the BCA Green Mark Award, listed in the table below. The award recognises developers, building owners and individuals who have made outstanding achievements in environmental sustainability in the built environment. There is also a Green Mark Certification Scheme that was launched by BCA in January 2005. It is a green building rating system designed to evaluate a building’s environmental impact and performance. It provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the overall environmental performance of new and existing buildings to promote sustainable design, and best practices in construction and operations in buildings.

The key criteria to the Green Mark Certification Scheme are as follows:

● Climatic responsive design;

● Building energy performance;

● Resources stewardship;

● Smart and healthy building; and

● Advance green efforts.

The images and descriptions below have been derived from third party sources that we believe to be reliable but have not independently verified.

The BCA SkyLab

One of the award-winning projects we were involved with is the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) SkyLab. The Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) SkyLab is the world’s first high-rise rotatable laboratory for the tropics, and the Academic Tower, a dedicated experiential learning facility and living lab for the built environment sector, opened at the BCA Academy in Singapore. The Singapore facility can rotate 360 degrees, has full plug-and-play configurability, and is fitted with extensive instrumentation and sensor networks intended to be scalable into the future. The 132 m (1,421 ft) facility is equipped with a network of more than 200 sensors with high accuracy and granularity, across two identical cells for comparison testing. These sensors measure performance metrics such as energy performance, indoor environmental quality, outdoor environmental parameters and building automation system indicators.¹ As the main contractor, we were significantly involved in the development from the beginning to completion of the SkyLab including mechanical and electrical work. Additionally, we provided all architectural and builder work, for which this project received a BCA Green Mark Platinum Award in 2016.

The BCA SkyLab can rotate 360 degrees. It enables testing at any orientation for sun and wind, accelerating the pace of research, development, and application of energy-efficient building technologies in the tropics.

The Puggol Watertown (Residential)

Our custom drywall and partition work on the Punggol Watertown project allows the unit owner to redesign the layout of the room easily without affecting the room design and structures, providing customizable and changeable unit layouts. Watertown was completed in 2017 and received the prestigious BCA Green Mark Gold Plus Award for its environmentally conscious design. We installed the drywall and ceiling for a 5-story commercial development, a 5-story basement carpark and 11 residential buildings including a total of 992 units, as well as in a number of specialized spaces in the complex. All materials used were green label (hence meeting certain environmental performance criteria).²

The Yishun Community Hospital has been honored with the BCA Green Mark (Healthcare) Platinum Award, highlighting its commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible development. Our contribution to this project including providing drywall partition for a 10-story hospital and 2 level basements, and specialized down hang drywall partitions.⁵

Interior-fitting out works

Interior-fitting out works refer to the scope of works of assembling the required ceilings, partitions and/or walls which are the interior, non-structural, non-load-bearing parts of a building. The scope of interior fitting-out works vary from project to project, and can include one or more of the following:

● Supply and installation of interior ceiling, wall and/or partitions, soffits and fascia that comply with the architectural drawings furnished to us, as well as the material and technical specifications; the partitions may be specified to be using calcium silicate boards, gypsum plastic boards and/or various types of plasterboards, aluminum, timber deck, carpets, lead lining and acoustic paneling;

● Customization of the interior fitting-out systems (for instances where customization is required of the boards to achieve the architectural design specifications), supply and installation of the boards including the use of galvanized steel studs, braces, fasteners, joint materials, adhesives or other connectors to assemble various partitions;

● Interfacing works to ensure smooth and aesthetically pleasing interfaces between ceiling and wall for suspension ceilings and for the concealment of metal framework or other parts of the lighting, mechanical and electrical, plumbing and sanitary or heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems; and

● Complying with technical requirements for interior fitting-out systems, for instance specifications and standards on flame-retardant, moisture-resistance, sound insulation or radiation protection.

Main construction and builder works

For main construction works, we will tender bids for the project directly with the owner or developer of the building development. The scope of work varies depending on the contract.

The scope of work for main construction and builder works comprises a broad range of construction works, including what we refer to as Design and Build, where we provide the drawings and execute the construction the building to fulfill the architectural requirements of the customers. The scope of construction works include concrete works, external facade works, interior fitting-out works, doors, floors and furnishings, A&A (additional and alteration projects), and installation of various building systems. Other than interior-fitting out works, the majority of the site works are subcontracted by us to various subcontractors specializing in the respective area.

Green materials and green construction methods

Whenever we can, we use environmentally friendly building materials and construction methods approved by BCA for our projects. Green materials are alternative building materials that replace traditional materials. For instance, we use drywall (also known as gypsum board or plasterboard) for the construction of interior walls and ceilings and the electrical conduits, water and aircon water pipes can be concealed into the partition without hacking of the partition, unlike brick or concrete walls. Drywall serves as a more efficient replacement for traditional bricks or concrete walls. Drywall has superior acoustics and thermal properties, is light weight, uses less space and material and is easier and faster to install and can relay the room layout without affecting the structures of the room.

There are a wide range of green materials including shaft liner, bamboo decking, floor systems, paints, water proofing membrane, joint and finishing materials green materials can also be made from recycled materials. Besides being a replacement to traditional building materials, some green materials also use recycled materials. We use green materials made from recycled materials that are approved by the Singapore Environment Council.

Typically, green buildings are designed to reduce the negative impacts of the built environment on human health and the natural environment. In Singapore, green buildings tend to have green features that are generally more energy efficient than those in conventional buildings. Some of the key features that might be commonly found in green buildings in Singapore are:

● Improved glass insulation to reduce solar heating through windows;

● Increased natural light, energy efficient lighting devices, and equipment to control lighting;

● Energy efficient cooling plants and ventilation systems for air conditioning;

● Building management systems to monitor and control equipment and optimize energy use; and

● The use of photovoltaic cells for solar energy.

The main green technologies popular in green buildings in Singapore are chiller plant systems, energy-efficient lighting systems, and solar panels, of which energy-efficient lighting systems are considered to be the most economically feasible, although the feasibility of chiller plant systems and solar is growing due to technological advances.

High efficiency equipment can actually be made more compact, which has a lower impact on a building’s sustainable footprint and increases usable space. Given the current stable economic, political, and geographic conditions in Singapore, investors and companies seem more confident in the longevity of their businesses; hence, they foresee larger investments with longer payback periods, in which energy efficient equipment is preferred. They also foresee increased demand for renewable energy technology. Further, solar panels become more feasible in Singapore when one takes into account government subsidies to encourage the use of renewable energy sources, and the government’s commitment to supporting sustainability has helped grow the demand for services of green builders.

61

We work with reputable green marked construction material manufacturers to develop green building solutions that are sustainable, and proven.

The list below are examples of green and environmentally friendly building materials that we commonly use in our projects:

● USG Boral StandardCORE – a non-combustible, lightweight plasterboard panel

● USG Boral Wetstop – moisture resistant plasterboard encased in recycled face and back papers

● USG Boral Firestop – a fire-resistant gypsum core plasterboard

● USG Boral Impactstop – specially formulated high density core plasterboard for heavy traffic applications

● USG Boral Shaftliner – fire, sound and mold resistant panels

● USG Boral Fiberock Aqua Tough – water and fire resistant drywall panels

● Rockwool Safe ‘n’ Silent Pro – resilient, thermal and heat resistant stone wool products made from volcanic stone

● Dasso XTR Exterior Strand Woven Bamboo Decking -zero VOC, non-leaching Class A fire rated

● Versijack Pedestal – heavy duty support that reduces sound and heat transmission

● MIRCROTAC Floor Systems – lightweight, load-bearing epoxy coated steel panel systems

● Nippon Vinilex Paint – low odor, low VOC, anti-fungal, anti-viral,

● Elasto-Deck BT Liquid-Applied Polyurethane Waterproofing Membrane – roof sealant

The following illustrates the typical workflow processes undertaken by us in a project:

Bid tender phase

62

Our projects originate mainly from invitations to quote or tender from private customers or are sourced by our executives and/or our marketing manager. Should we decide to pursue the project opportunity, we will review the architectural drawings illustrating specifications for construction. Typically, if our submitted tender or quotation terms are among the most favorable, we will be invited to an interview where the customer will clarify pricing, material and technical specifications with us. Should we be selected, we will receive a letter of acceptance, followed by award of contract. This process can take between one (1) to five (5) months.

The bid tender phase is similar for projects for which we are the main contractor. For our main contractor projects, we will review the scope of construction works and obtain quotations from suppliers and subcontractors for key materials and services. As a main contractor, there will be various subcontract works for which we will appoint subcontractors to perform, such as builder works, mechanical and electrical works, plumbing and sanitary works, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning works. Our role is mainly project management to ensure the timely completion of the construction project.

Project execution and management phase

Upon the award of the contract, a project team will be formed with staff from our quantity surveyor team, drafting team and project team. Tender/ contract documents will be handed over to the project team which include the tender documents, clarifications/ amendments made in respect to tender, and contract and project specifications. A kick-off meeting will be held between the project team and our customer, its appointed consultant or other relevant parties. Our projects are headed by a project manager with a team consisting of site coordinator, site foreman and safety supervisor.

The drafting team will prepare and submit the detailed shop drawings or method statements, as the case may be, to our customer for approval. With over 20 years of experience, our executives, our project director and members of our project team have the expertise to review the perspective drawings, bill of quantities and propose to our customers value-engineering solutions, such as modifications to the materials selection or the drawings so that the installation can be carried out more efficiently. In certain instances, modifications to the drawings or method statements may allow for improved feasibility of the installation within the planned construction schedule.

63

Upon approval of the shop drawings and finalization of the material specifications and quantity, we will obtain quotations from suppliers and procure sufficient resources to present a mock-up of the interior fitting-out system. A mock-up is an agreed (small) section of the overall interior fitting-out system for seeking the customer’s approval. Once the mock-up has been approved, we can proceed to supply and install for the entire project in accordance with the phases of the construction schedule.

For our main contractor projects, the process is similar, but mirrored, in that we will review all the shop drawings submitted by our subcontractors, approve submissions for subcontractors to commence their works and manage the project to ensure timely completion. Our quantity surveyor team will inspect the subcontracted works on a monthly basis. We may also take on the interior-fitting out scope of works in our main contractor projects.

Our quantity surveyor team will contact the suppliers that we have obtained quotations from during the tender phase and may further negotiate on the pricing and contract terms with the suppliers. As our key materials such as calcium silicate boards, gypsum boards or plasterboards, fasteners, joint materials, metal bracing, metal studs, screws, adhesives or sealants are common building materials, we will typically notify our suppliers in advance of our project needs but place a purchase order only as and when required for delivery to the work site. Our Executive Directors will approve the purchase orders for the key materials used in the project.

Our accounting team is responsible for the preparation of invoices and recording of accounts payables and receivables. Our quantity surveyor team will coordinate with our accounting team on the progress claims to be made to our customers (typically on a monthly basis), based on the progress of works performed. Upon receiving our progress claim, our customer reviews and approves the progress claim. Approved progress claims will be supported by a payment certificate issued by our customers to us, and we will prepare and issue the corresponding invoice to our customers. We will also review progress claims submitted by our subcontractors and invoices submitted thereafter by them. Our credit terms to our customers are typically 35 days and our suppliers’ credit terms to us range from 0 to 60 days. Typically, 5% or 10% of the approved progress claims will be retained by our customer as retention monies. Retention monies are contractually agreed amounts which our customers retain from each invoice payment for their use should we fail to fulfil our contracted scope of works to their satisfaction. We may also be required to furnish a performance bond for a value of 5% to 10% of the contract sum for our due performance of the contract on a timely basis.

Upon completion of the entire contracted scope of works, there will be a joint handover inspection with our customer, followed by handover to our customer along with the as-built drawings. There may also be instances of variation orders where the original scope of work may be increased, omitted or varied and the original contract sum may be altered. Should the amendments in the variation order relate to items not in the contracted schedule of rates, these will be separately negotiated.

Post-project phase

From the date of substantial completion, the defect liability period commences and we are required to rectify any defects brought to our attention during this period. Our contracted defect liability period is typically within the range of 12 to 18 months. We will, from time to time, also monitor our receipts and the return of retention monies. Should a performance bond be required, we will arrange for the discharge of the performance bond at the end of the project. During the Period Under Review, no material deduction was made against retention monies.

Quality Management

We have a quality management system in place to fulfil our commitment to customer satisfaction, continual improvement of the effectiveness of our quality system and compliance with applicable regulations and requirements. Our quality objectives are to maintain a zero-customer complaint record and to complete our projects in a timely manner. Our relevant quality control processes cover:

(b)	Procurement quality management
	The majority of our purchases are delivered directly to the work site, where they are inspected for visual defect and quantity. Materials such as the various types of boards and materials for joining and securing the partitions are sourced from suppliers which products meet the technical specifications for the project. Moreover, these materials will also be used in the mock-up interior-fitting out system, which will be approved by our customers before we proceed to fit-out the rest of the building development.
	For works performed by our subcontractors, our project team will inspect their work as and when they are completed and should corrective action be required, our project manager will conduct a re-inspection to ensure that such work is up to standard.
	In addition, our criteria for evaluating first-time suppliers include considering whether they have obtained bizSAFE, ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 certification, relevant licenses and permits, project track record and their claims and litigation history. We rate our suppliers on an annual basis on timeliness of delivery, quality, compliance, flexibility in responding to changes, pricing and after-sales services. We also rate our subcontractors on an annual basis on responsiveness, site work practices, certification, manpower and material availability, relevant training for workers and attendance at meetings. Suppliers and subcontractors who have met our grading criteria will remain on our approved supplier list and approved subcontract list respectively.
I	On-site quality checks and handing over inspection
	All partial and completed works must be properly preserved to prevent damage on-site. On-site quality checks are conducted daily and the final inspection is conducted with our customer at the handover stage.
(d)	Customer feedback
	We obtain feedback from our customers annually on a sampling basis, to assess and monitor our customers’ perception of whether their needs and expectations have been met. We also obtain feedback through ongoing communications with our customers. The indicators in the customer survey form include (i) quality of our service, (ii) quality of safety, (iii) timeliness of response, (iv) pricing, (v) attendance in meetings, (vi) quality of our staff, (vii) on-site inspection of works, (viii) adequacy of documentation, (ix) timeliness of complaint handling and (x) communication. We analyze the responses received and note areas for improvement for implementation.
(e)	Internal audit
	We conduct an internal audit of our quality management system annually to ensure compliance with, and effectiveness of, our procedures.

66

Marketing and Business Development

We do not have a dedicated marketing and sales team but instead rely on our executive team and marketing manager for maintenance and acquisition of existing and new customer relationships respectively. Otherwise, we do not engage in material marketing activities other than engaging with our existing customers. As we have been established in Singapore for over 20 years, our main source of project opportunities comes from invited tenders by private customers who may be returning customers or know us from word-of-mouth recommendation.

Our Major Customers

Our customer base comprises mainly private customers who are either the main contractor, developer or owner of a building development or A&A project.

We receive progress payments for our work performed and revenue is recognized based on the stage of completion of our projects. The fluctuation in revenue contribution from our customers varies from year to year as revenue contribution is on project basis and revenue is recognized based on the stage of completion. Therefore, a higher value project, more projects from a customer and/or more works completed during a financial year or period will result in a higher percentage of revenue attributed to a customer. Please refer to the risk factor “We are dependent on our major customers and any significant decrease in projects secured from them may affect our operations and financial performance” set out in the section entitled “Risk Factor” in this prospectus.

We are not aware of any information or arrangement which would lead to a cessation or termination of our current relationship with any of our major customers.

67

As of June 30, 2023, none of our directors, executive officers, or significant shareholders has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of our major customers, except Ninefold is a joint venture related party – see “Related Party Transactions.”

We do not enter into any long-term supply or service contract with any of our suppliers or subcontractors. We make payments to our suppliers and subcontractors based on invoices and progress claims and the cost of revenue varies from year to year as the nature of our business is on project basis. Our cost of revenue varies depending on, inter alia, (i) the value of our project, (ii) the nature of works undertaken – for instance, main construction projects will typically incur higher subcontracting costs, (iii) the amount of works performed during the financial year or period, and (iv) the profit margin.

We are not aware of any information or arrangement which would lead to a cessation or termination of our current relationship with any of our major suppliers and subcontractors.

None of our directors, executives or significant shareholders has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of our major suppliers and subcontractors.

Credit Management

Credit terms extended to our customers

Workplace Safety and Health Policy

We have an occupational, health and safety management system and policy in place, and as of December 31,2021, we obtained ISO 45001:2018 certification (replacing OHSAS 18001-2007), which is an international standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety management system, with guidance for its use, to enable an organization to proactively improve its occupational health and safety performance in preventing injury and ill-health. ISO 45001-2018 certification is a requirement for bizSAFE Level Star certification and some of our customers consider certifications including ISO 45001:2018 and/or bizSAFE Level Star when inviting subcontractors to tender, and accordingly such certifications also may increase our project opportunities. A summary of our workplace safety and health policies is set out below:

Workplace Safety

Workplace safety includes aspects related to safety at the work site and ensuring that occupational hazards are identified and assessed and actions are taken to reduce workplace accidents. These cover areas such as:

● Conditions of the workplace, such as adequate working area, lighting, ventilation, and temperature control, water leakage, mold, airborne hazards and obstructions should be cleared. Exits should be clearly marked and potential trip hazards such as wire cords should be secured.

● Electrical safety, such as being aware of electrical hazards, and checking that electrical equipment and devices are in good condition and use in a proper manner.

● Fire safety, such as ensuring the proper functioning of emergency fire sprinkler heads, clearly marked and unobstructed emergency exits and lighting and that firefighting equipment are in good condition and available for emergency use.

● Protective equipment, such as the availability of the proper type of protective equipment and that they are in good condition. First aid kits should be maintained and in good condition.

● Safety toolbox meetings are conducted daily or as requested by the main contractor at the work site to ensure that workers present for work that day are fit for work and that they have been issued with the proper protective equipment.

Environmental Management and Occupational Health Safety

As of December 31, 2021, we upgraded our ISO certification to ISO 14001:2015, which certification is the first international environmental management standard that provides an integrated approach to environmental management that emphases sustainability. This cover areas such as:

● Noise pollution control, including taking measures to ensure that our employees are not exposed to excessive noise and that we are working within the permissible noise levels at the work site. We also provide hearing protectors to our employees and annual audiometric examination for employees exposed to excessive noise;

● Air pollution control, including taking measures to control and minimize air pollution from our machinery and vehicles;

● Chemical spillage control, including ensuring that toxic, corrosive and flammable chemicals are accompanied with safety data sheet and that their use is in accordance with instruction;

● Waste management, including ensuring that each type of waste (general waste, hazardous waste, reusable packaging or materials) are segregated and disposed accordingly; and

● Conservation of resources and environment, including being energy-efficient, reducing or eliminating the use of ozone-depleting substances.

Our environmental objectives are to have a zero-environmental accident record and to not receive any fines or penalties from the NEA. Our environmental management system covers hazard identification, emergency response, regulatory compliance, implementation, incident reporting and evaluation.

Our annual cost of compliance with applicable workplace safety and environmental regulations during the Period Under Review was not material.

71

Staff Training Plans

Training plans are reviewed periodically to ensure that employees are able to carry out their scope of work competently and safely. All new employees go through an orientation program and are assigned to a supervisor for on-the-job training. We also organize training courses conducted by external parties. Our annual staff training costs during the last two years were not material.

Research and Development

We have not incurred significant expenses in relation to research and development activities in the last 2 fiscal years.

Competition

The construction industry in Singapore, including interior build out / fitting-out works and main contractor works, is highly competitive and fragmented. Our Group has an established track record in interior fitting-out works, in particular for hospital construction projects in Singapore, and main construction project experience. To the best of our knowledge and belief, while there is no comparable industry peer with an identical project profile, we consider Dong Jian (Singapore) Pte Ltd, Top Plasterceil Pte Ltd and Lincotrade & Associates Pte Ltd to be our main competitors in interior fitting-out works.

None of our directors or substantial shareholders or their respective associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of the above competitors. To the best of our knowledge and belief, there are no published statistics that present the market share of interior fitting-out works in Singapore. With regards to main construction works, the industry is similarly competitive and fragmented and as we take on main construction projects as and when the project opportunity arises, we believe that is no meaningful comparison of market share and competitors.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business and Operations

Singapore Control Order Regulations

On April 3, 2020, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce of the Singapore government implemented an elevated set of safe distancing measures to pre-empt the trend of increasing local transmission of COVID-19 from April 7, 2020 (“Circuit Breaker Measures”). On April 7, 2020, the Singapore Parliament passed the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 (“COVID-19 Act”) which provided the Singapore Government the legal basis to enforce the Circuit Breaker Measures, and the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020 (“Control Order Regulations”) under the COVID-19 Act to implement the Circuit Breaker Measures. The Control Order Regulations imposed restrictions on premises and businesses in relation to the closure of premises and respective controls on essential and non-essential service providers, and the movement of people, both in public places and in places of residence. The Circuit Breaker Measures were imposed under the Control Order Regulations during the period between April 7, 2020 and June 1, 2020.

On May 19, 2020, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce announced that the Circuit Breaker Measures would end on June 1, 2020 and the Multi-Ministry Taskforce would embark on a controlled approach to resume economic and community activities and progressively lift the relevant control measures in place after June 1, 2020 over three phases.

Since May 1, 2020, the Singapore government introduced various measures to adapt to increasing and decreasing infection rates, increasing restrictions or easing up on gathering, workplace and travel restrictions as appropriate to help mitigate infections. The Singapore government continues to monitor and adjust restrictions and may determine the need to implement more restrictions in the future.

The infections caused by the Omicron variants in early 2022 brought significant interruption to our operations and lead to dramatic increase in material cost and labor cost in 2022. The extent to which COVID-19 further impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects is currently minimal.

Insurance

We maintain property insurance policies covering our equipment and facilities in accordance with customary industry practice. We carry occupational work injury, and medical insurance for our employees in compliance with applicable regulations. We will continue to review and assess our risk portfolio and make necessary and appropriate adjustments to our insurance practices to align with our needs and with industry practice in Singapore, in Malaysia and in the markets in which we operate.

Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this Prospectus, we are not party to any significant proceedings. The only legal proceedings we are involved with at this time is a proceeding with Newspaper Seng Pte Ltd described above (see Management Discussion and Analysis – Contingencies). We expect this matter to be finalized by the first quarter of 2024 in our favor.

72

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

Contractors Registration System

The construction industry in Singapore is regulated by the Commissioner of Building Control (“CBC”), whose primary role is to develop and regulate Singapore’s building and construction industry. Registration in the Contractors Registration System maintained by the BCA is a pre-requisite to tendering to Singapore Government agencies for public sector projects. FBS SG is registered under (i) Construction Workhead (CW) and (ii) Construction-Related Workhead (CR) with the specific requirements below:

Workheads	Title	Scope of Work	Grade	Expiry Date
CR06	Interior Decoration and Finishing Works	Interior design, planning and the decoration of buildings. This includes ceiling panels, partitions, built-in fitments, raised floor works, plastering and tiling.	L5	July 1, 2025

		(b)	Addition and alteration works on buildings involving structural changes.
		(c)	Installation of roofs.

Tendering limits for different grades under the Contractors Registration System

The tendering limit for projects in the public sector is determined by one’s qualified grade under the Contractors Registration System. Such tendering limit for each respective grade is valid for one year from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. Currently, the tendering limit for our L5 grading in CR06 (Interior decoration and finishing works) workhead is S$16 million and B2 grading in CW01 (General building) workhead is S$16 million.

73

Registration and retention requirements

Registration under the Contractors Registration System in respect of a particular workhead and registration grade will remain valid for the period stipulated by BCA. The validity for a registration will lapse automatically after the expiry of such stipulated period, unless a renewal is filed and approved by BCA. In order to apply for, maintain and renew the registrations under the Contractors Registration System, there are different requirements to be complied with for different grades, including but not limited to requirements relating to minimum paid up capital and net worth, employment of certain personnel with prescribed qualifications, and track record of past and current projects.

All builders carrying out building works where plans are required to be approved by the CBC and builders who work in specialist areas which have a high impact on public safety will require a builder’s license. The requirement applies to both public and private construction projects.

There are two types of builder’s licenses, namely, the GB License and the specialist builder’s license. FBS SG possesses the GB1 License that authorizes the builder to carry on the business of a general builder without restriction in contract value.

To qualify for the GB1 License, the following conditions must be met:

Financial	Approved person(1)		Technical controller(2)

Green and Gracious Builder Scheme

BCA launched the Green and Gracious Builder Scheme in February 2009 to promote environmental protection and gracious and professional practices during the construction phase of projects. It is also a requirement to hold the Green and Gracious Builder Award for contractors with grade B2 and above for construction workheads CW01 and CW02 under the CRS. FBS SG currently holds the BCA Green and Gracious Builder Award in the “Certified” category, which was first issued on May 9, 2018 with an expiry date of May 8, 2024. The Green and Gracious Builder Award will be valid for 3 years. During this period, surveillance audits will be conducted on a yearly basis. Renewal audits will be carried out by The Singapore Contractors Association Limited (which has taken over the administration of the Green and Gracious Builder Scheme) every 3 years to maintain the validity of the Green and Gracious Builder Award.

Building Control Act

Every proposed property development in Singapore requires written permission from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (“URA”) setting out specific requirements and limits for the development, such as land use, gross plot ratio, building height and building form on the development site. Once the URA has given the written permission, an application will be made to the CBC for the building plan approval in respect of the development and/or a permit for carrying out the structural works. Construction may then commence upon receipt of the notice of approval and permit to carry out structural works from the CBC, in accordance with such approvals, to be elaborated below.

In the event that the development site is owned by the JTC Corporation, approval is also required to be obtained from JTC Corporation. In a case where changes are required to the designation use of a development site, approval from URA is required.

Under the Building Control Act, a builder undertaking any building works shall, among other duties: (i) ensure that the building works are carried out in accordance with the plans of the building works supplied to it by the appointed registered architect or professional engineer for the project and with any terms or conditions imposed by the CBC in accordance with the Building Control Act and the building regulations, (ii) notify the CBC of any contravention of the Building Control Act or the building regulations relating to those building works of which the builder knows or ought reasonably to know; (iii) keep at the premises on which the building works are carried all plans of those building works approved by the CBC and supplied to him by the appointed registered architect or professional engineer for the project; and (iv) within seven days from the completion of the building works, certify that the new building has been erected or the building works have been carried out in accordance with the Building Control Act and the building regulations and deliver such certificate to the CBC.

Employment Act

Employment Act

The Employment Act 1968 of Singapore (the “Employment Act”) governs most employment matters such as public holidays and sick leave entitlements, minimum days of annual leave, payment of salary and allowable deductions, termination and dismissal, and also governs, among other things and where applicable, working hours, overtime, rest days, holidays and other conditions of work or service.

Employment of foreign workers in Singapore

Work passes and permits

Pursuant to the Immigration Act 1959 of Singapore (“Immigration Act”), no person, other than a citizen of Singapore, shall enter or attempt to enter Singapore unless, inter alia, he is in possession of a valid pass lawfully issued to him to enter Singapore. Such valid pass would include, inter alia, a valid work pass issued by the Controller of Work Passes under the EFMA (as defined below) and the regulations issued pursuant to the EFMA, including passes such as Work Permits (including a training work permit), S Passes and Employment Passes. The work passes are categorized by the professional skill level and monthly salary of the migrant worker. There are applicable quotas and levies payable for S Pass and Work Permit Holders. A work pass may be in the form of a card or in an endorsement made in the passport or other travel document of the work pass holder or in such other form as the Controller of Work Passes may determine.

Employment of Foreign Manpower Act

The employment of foreign workers in Singapore is governed by the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990 (“EFMA”) and the regulations issued pursuant to the EFMA and regulated by the Ministry of Manpower (“MOM”). The EFMA prescribes the responsibilities and obligations of employers of foreign employees in Singapore.

Under Section 5(1) of the EFMA, no person shall employ a foreign employee unless he has obtained in respect of the foreign employee a valid work pass from the MOM, which allows the foreign employee to work for him.

The availability of foreign workers to the construction industry is also regulated by the MOM through, among others, the following policy instruments:

(i)	approved source countries;
(ii)	the imposition of security bonds and levies;
(iii)	dependency ratio ceilings based on the ratio of local to foreign workers; and
(iv)	quotas based on the man year entitlements (“MYE”) in respect of workers from the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and non-traditional sources such as India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bangladesh, the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and the Philippines (“NTS”). With effect from 1 January 2024, the MYE framework will be phased out.

Approved source countries

The approved source countries for construction workers are Malaysia, the PRC, NTS countries and North Asian sources such as Hong Kong (holders of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passports), Macau, South Korea and Taiwan (“NAS”).

Security bonds and foreign worker levy

For each non-Malaysian Work Permit holder whom a company wants to employ, a security bond of S$5,000 in the form of a banker’s guarantee or insurance guarantee is required to be furnished to the Controller of Work Passes. The security bond must be furnished prior to the foreign worker’s arrival in Singapore, failing which entry into Singapore will not be allowed. Malaysian workers are exempt from the above requirement of furnishing a security bond.

77

The employment of Work Permit workers is also subject to the payment of monthly levies. The levy is a mechanism to regulate the number of foreign workers in Singapore. For the construction sector, employers pay the requisite foreign worker levy according to the qualification of the foreign workers employed. A daily levy rate will apply where the Work Permit holder did not work for a full calendar month.

Effective January 1, 2024, the levy rates for Work Permit holders will be revised as follows:

Tier	Monthly		Daily
Malaysians, NAS and PRC – Higher-Skilled	$	300	$	9.87
Malaysians, NAS and PRC – Basic-Skilled	$	700	$	23.02
NTS – Higher-Skilled	$	500	$	16.44
NTS – Basic-Skilled	$	900	$	29.59

Employers of foreign workers will have to pay a levy bond for each Work Permit holder (of S$600 per month for each basic-skilled or higher-skilled worker and of S$2,000 per month for each unskilled worker). Levy bonds are payable under certain scenarios, such as where the workers’ Work Permits have been revoked because of unpaid levies, or if there have been late levy payments in at least three (3) times in a 12-month period. The levy bond monitoring period is usually twelve (12) months, and the levy bond will be released when this monitoring period expires, subject to the possibility of extension if there are more delays in levy payment.

Dependency ratio ceilings

The dependency ratio ceiling for the construction industry is currently set at a ratio of one (1) full-time local employee earning at least S$1,400 per month (“Local Qualifying Salary”) to five (5) foreign workers. This means that for every one (1) full-time Singapore citizen or Singapore permanent resident earning at least the Local Qualifying Salary employed by a company in the construction sector with regular full month Central Provident Fund contributions made by the employer, the company can employ five (5) foreign workers. If the full-time Singapore citizen or Singapore permanent resident earns at least half the Local Qualifying Salary (at least S$700 per month, up to S$1,400 per month) with regular full month Central Provident Fund contributions made by the employer, the Singapore citizen or Singapore permanent resident employee will be counted as a 0.5 local employee.

Minimum percentage of higher skilled workers

As of January 2018, at least 10.0% of a company’s construction Work Permit holders must be higher-skilled before an employer can hire any new basic-skilled construction Work Permit holders or renew the Work Permits of existing basic-skilled foreign workers.

As of January 2019, firms that do not meet the 10.0% threshold will not be able to hire or renew the Work Permits of any basic skilled construction Work Permit holders and will also have the Work Permits of any excess basic skilled construction Work Permit holders revoked.

Man Year Entitlements

For project contracts that were awarded or had the tender called on or before 18 February 2022, companies may use awarded Man Year Entitlements, or MYE, which is a Work Permit allocation system for employment of foreign workers from NTS countries and the PRC until 31 December 2024 or the project completion date (whichever is earlier). MYE represents the total number of Work Permit holders a main contractor is entitled to employ based on the value of the projects or contracts awarded by the developers or owners. The allocation of MYE is in the form of the number of “man-years” required to complete a project and only main contractors may apply for MYE. One man-year is equivalent to one year’s employment under a Work Permit. All levels of subcontractors are required to obtain their MYE allocation from their main contractors. A main contractor’s MYE will expire on the completion date of the relevant project, which can be extended if the completion date of the project is extended. MYE are allocated to a contractor when it applies for prior approval (“PA”). For main contractors applying for PA, MYE deductions are made according to the number of foreign workers and type of Work Permits applied for and approved by the Work Pass Division of the MOM. For a subcontractor’s PA application, the main contractor supplying the MYE must indicate the MYE allocation in the subcontractor’s PA application form when applying on the subcontractors’ behalf. When approved, the main contractor’s MYE will be deducted accordingly.

78

Contractors can apply for MYE waivers to allow them to apply or renew the Work Permits of experienced foreign workers from NTS and the PRC without the need for MYE. However, they will be subject to higher MYE-waiver levy rates. The MYE framework was phased out effective January 1, 2024. Companies with project contracts that were awarded or had tender called after 18 February 2022 do not require MYE to employ NTS or PTC workers, provided that such employment does not exceed the applicable dependency ratio ceiling.

Required safety courses

Foreign workers in the construction industry must take one of the following safety courses before their Work Permits can be issued: (i) Construction Safety Orientation Course (“CSOC”) or (ii) Apply Workplace Safety and Health in Construction Sites. Foreign workers must complete the course within two (2) weeks of arriving in Singapore and pass the course within three (3) months of arrival, or their Work Permits may be revoked.

Age restrictions

With respect to foreign workers from the PRC and the NTS countries, basic-skilled foreign workers are allowed to work up to a maximum of 14 years, while higher-skilled foreign workers are allowed to work up to 26 years. There is no maximum employment period for foreign workers from Malaysia or NAS. The maximum age limit for non-Malaysian and Malaysian foreign workers at the time of application of Work Permit is below 50 years old and below 58 years old, respectively. All foreign workers regardless of country of origin can only work up to 60 years of age.

Prior approval

Construction companies with project contracts that were awarded or tendered on or before 18 February 2022 must have prior approval (“MOM PA”) from the MOM to employ foreign workers from NTS countries (up to 31 December 2024 or project completion date, whichever is earlier). The MOM PA indicates the number of foreign workers a company is allowed to bring in from NTS countries. It also determines the number of workers who can have their Work Permits renewed, or who can be transferred from another company in Singapore. The MOM PAs are given based on the (i) duration of the work permits applied for, (ii) number of full-time local workers employed by the company over the past three (3) months as reflected in the Company’s CPF contribution statements and (iii) number of man-years allocated to the company (for main contractors) or the man-years directly allocated from the Company’s main contractor (for subcontractors). Effective January 1, 2024, the MYE framework will be phased out and the grant of MOM PA will no longer depend on a company’s MYE. The new foreign workers from NTS countries must also possess a Skills Evaluation Certification or the Skills Evaluation Certificate (Knowledge) before they are allowed to work in Singapore. Companies with project contracts that were awarded or tendered after 18 February 2022 do not require MOM PA to employ foreign workers from NTS countries, provided that such employment does not exceed the applicable dependency ratio ceiling.

Work Permit conditions

Employers are required to comply with the conditions of the Work Permits, such as the requirement for the foreign worker to pass a medical examination and to provide acceptable accommodation for their foreign workers. Other conditions of the Work Permits which employers of foreign construction workers are also required to comply with include the following:

(i)	that the foreign worker performs only those construction activities specified in the conditions;
(ii)	ensuring that the foreign worker is not sent to work for any other person, except as provided for in the conditions;
(iii)	providing safe working conditions for their foreign workers; and
(iv)	purchasing and maintaining medical insurance with coverage of at least S$15,000 per 12-month period of the foreign worker’s employment (or for such shorter period where the worker’s period of employment is less than 12 months) for polices with start dates effective before July 1, 2023, for the foreign worker’s in-patient care and day surgery except as the Controller of Work Passes may otherwise provide by notification in writing. Where the employer purchases group medical insurance policy for its foreign workers, the employer shall not be considered to have satisfied the obligation under this condition unless the terms of the employer’s group medical insurance policy are such that each and every individual foreign worker is concurrently covered to the extent as required aforesaid. The minimum required coverage has increased to $60,000 per year for policies with start dates effective on or after July 1, 2023. Employers are also required to purchase and maintain a Primary Care Plan for each worker which will cover most of the workers’ primary healthcare needs under a fixed scope of services.

79

Apart from the EFMA, an employer of foreign workers is also subject to, amongst others, the provisions set out in the Employment Act and the Immigration Act and the regulations issued pursuant to the Immigration Act.

Housing of foreign workers

In accordance with the EFMA, employers must ensure that their foreign workers live in proper housing which complies with the various statutory requirements, and provide the workers’ residential addresses to MOM. The operation of foreign workers’ dormitories has to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Building Control Act 1989 of Singapore, the Control of Vectors and Pesticides Act 1998 of Singapore, the Environmental Public Health Act 1987 of Singapore, the Fire Safety Act 1993 of Singapore, the Planning Act 1998 of Singapore and the Foreign Employee Dormitories Act 2015.

Composition Fines

In the last two years, we received two composition fines from the MOM with respect to unacceptable accommodation for our employees. The composition fines were from incidents occurring in March 2016 and January 2017, of S$4,000 and S$8,000 respectively, for the contravention of Section 22(1)(a) of the EFMA, in relation to breach of work pass conditions. The first composition fine was in relation to one worker who stayed at an overcrowded accommodation, and the second composition fine was in relation to four workers who stayed at unauthorized accommodation.

Subsequent to the above incidents, our executives have confirmed that our foreign workers are required to strictly comply with their work pass conditions by either staying at FBS SG’s in-house dormitory, at approved dormitories/ quarters or at authorized private housing. All foreign workers’ addresses had to be accordingly updated on the online foreign worker address service. To date, no further action has been taken by the MOM subsequent to the settlement of the aforementioned composition fines.

Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act

Under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2004 of Singapore (“BCISPA”), the operation of which is overseen by the BCA, any person who has carried out any construction work or supplied any goods or services under a contract is entitled to a progress payment. The provisions of the BCISPA shall have effect notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any contract, and any contractual provision which attempts to exclude, restrict, modify or in any way prejudice the operation of the BCISPA shall be void. With the introduction of the BCISPA, a “pay when paid” provision of a contract is now rendered unenforceable and has no effect in relation to any payment for construction work carried out or undertaken to be carried out, or for goods or services supplied or undertaken to be supplied, under the contract.

The BCISPA also contains provisions relating to, amongst others, the amount of the progress payment to which a person is entitled under a contract, the valuation of the construction work carried out under a contract and the date on which a progress payment becomes due and payable. A claimant who, in relation to a construction contract, (i) fails to receive payment by the due date (being the date on which the progress payment becomes due and payable) of the response amount which he has accepted, (ii) disputes the payment response provided by the respondent, or (iii) does not receive a payment response by the relevant deadline for response, is entitled to make an adjudication application in relation to the relevant payment claim. The BCISPA has established an adjudication process by which a person may claim payments due under a contract and enforce payment of the adjudicated amount.

An adjudicator shall, in relation to an adjudication application, determine the adjudicated amount (if any) to be paid by the respondent to the claimant, the date on which the adjudicated amount is payable, the interest payable on the adjudicated amount and the proportion of the costs of the adjudication payable by each party to the adjudication.

The claimant has the right to suspend the carrying out of construction work or the supply of goods or services, and to exercise a lien over goods supplied by the claimant to the respondent that are unfixed and which have not been paid for, or to enforce the adjudication determination as if it were a judgment debt, if, amongst others, such claimant is not paid after the adjudicator has determined that the respondent shall pay an adjudicated amount to the claimant.

80

Where the respondent fails to pay the whole or any part of the adjudicated amount to a claimant, a principal of the respondent (being the person who is liable to make payment to the respondent for or in relation to the whole or part of the construction work that is the subject of the contract between the respondent and the claimant) has the right to make direct payment of the outstanding amount of the adjudicated amount to the claimant, and thereafter recover such payment from the respondent.

Workplace Safety and Health

Under the Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006 of Singapore (“WSHA”), every employer has the duty to take, so far as is reasonably practicable, such measures as are necessary to ensure the safety and health of his employees at work. These measures include providing and maintaining for the employees a work environment which is safe, without risk to health, and adequate as regards facilities and arrangements for their welfare at work, ensuring that adequate safety measures are taken in respect of any machinery, equipment, plant, article or process used by the employees, ensuring that the employees are not exposed to hazards arising out of the arrangement, disposal, manipulation, organization, processing, storage, transport, working or use of things in their workplace or near their workplace and under the control of the employer, developing and implementing procedures for dealing with emergencies that may arise while those persons are at work and ensuring that the person at work has adequate instruction, information, training and supervision as is necessary for that person to perform his work.

The MOM has also implemented a single-stage Demerit Points System (“DPS”) for the construction industry. All main contractors and subcontractors in the construction sector will be issued with demerit points for breaches or infringements under the WSHA and relevant subsidiary legislation. Under the DPS, the number of demerit points awarded depends on the severity of the breach or infringement.

Each demerit point issued is valid for a period of 18 months and, subject to there being no further safety lapses, the demerit point subsequently becomes expunged and removed from the records maintained by the MOM in relation to the number of demerit points currently issued to a specific company. Contractors, including all main and subcontractors, who accumulate a pre-determined number of demerit points within an 18-month period, will be debarred from employing foreign workers. An accumulation of a minimum of 25 demerit points within a period of 18 months would immediately trigger debarment for the contractor. In addition, pursuant to Section 56 of the WSHA, the Commissioner may, at his discretion, compound certain offences under the WSHA.

Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006 

The WSHA provides that every employer has the duty to take, so far as is reasonably practicable, such measures as are necessary to ensure the safety and health of its employees at work. These measures include providing and maintaining for the employees a work environment that is safe, without risk to health, and adequate with regards to facilities and arrangements for employees’ welfare at work, ensuring that adequate safety measures are taken in respect of any machinery, equipment, plant, article or process used by the employees, ensuring that the employees are not exposed to hazards arising out of the arrangement, disposal, manipulation, organization, processing, storage, transport, working or use of things in or near their workplace and under the control of the employer, developing and implementing procedures for dealing with emergencies that may arise while the employees are at work and ensuring that the employees at work have adequate instruction, information, training and supervision as is necessary for them to perform their work. The relevant regulatory body is the MOM.

81

Work Injury Compensation Act

The WICA, which is administered by the MOM, applies to all employees who are engaged under a contract of service or apprenticeship with an employer regardless of their salary, age or nationality. The WICA does not cover self-employed persons or independent contractors.

The WICA provides that if an employee dies or sustains personal injuries in a work-related accident in the course of the employment, or dies or becomes incapacitated as a result of a disease contracted in specified circumstances, the employer shall be liable to pay compensation in accordance with the provisions of the WICA. An injured employee is entitled to claim medical leave wages, medical expenses and lump sum compensation for permanent incapacity or death, subject to certain limits stipulated in the WICA.

However, the WICA provides that where any person (referred to as the principal) in the course of or for the purpose of his trade or business contracts with any other person (referred to as the contractor-employer), the principal may, at the direction of the Commissioner for Labour, be liable to compensate those employees of the contractor-employer who were injured while employed in the execution of work for the principal

Under the WICA, every employer is required to insure and maintain insurance under approved policies with a designated insurer against all liabilities which he may incur under the WICA in respect of all employees employed by him unless specifically exempted. Further, every employer is required to maintain work injury compensation insurance for all employees engaged in manual work labor regardless of their salary level, as well as all employees doing non-manual work who earn S$2,600 or less a month.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

The Environmental Public Health Act 1987 of Singapore (“EPHA”) requires, among others, a person, during the erection, alteration, construction or demolition of any building or at any time, to take reasonable precautions to prevent danger to the life, health or well-being of persons using any public places from flying dust or falling fragments or from any other material, thing or substance.

The EPHA also regulates, among others, the disposal and treatment of industrial waste and public nuisances. Under the EPHA, the Director-General of Public Health may, on receipt of any information respecting the existence of a nuisance liable to be dealt with summarily under the EPHA and if satisfied of the existence of a nuisance, serve a nuisance order on the person by whose act, default or sufferance the nuisance arises or continues, or if the person cannot be found, on the owner or occupier of the premises on which the nuisance arises. Some of the nuisances which are liable to be dealt with summarily under the EPHA include any factory or workplace which is not kept in a clean state, any place where there exists or is likely to exist any condition giving rise, or capable of giving rise to the breeding of flies or mosquitoes, any place where there occurs, or from which there emanates noise or vibration as to amount to a nuisance and any machinery, plant or any method or process used in any premises which causes a nuisance or is dangerous to public health and safety.

The Environmental Protection and Management Act 1999 of Singapore (“EPMA”) seeks to provide for the protection and management of the environment and resource conservation and regulates, amongst others, air pollution, water pollution, land pollution and noise control. Under the Environmental Protection and Management (Control of Noise at Construction Sites) Regulations, the owner or occupier of any construction site shall ensure that the level of noise emitted from his construction site shall not exceed the prescribed maximum permissible noise levels. The National Environment Agency is empowered under the EPMA to, among others, make regulations to control noise pollution by restricting or prohibiting construction works during certain hours.

82

Composition Fine

During the Period Under Review and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we received one composition fine from the NEA in relation to an incident of mosquito breeding detected at one of our worksites. We paid a composition fine of S$2,000 imposed on April 2016 for the contravention of Section 15 of the Control of Vectors and Pesticides Act.

SINGAPORE TAXATION

Corporate Tax

The prevailing corporate tax rate in Singapore is 17%, which may be offset by deductions or credits.

Dividend Distributions

One Tier Corporate Taxation System

Singapore adopts the one-tier corporate taxation system (“One-Tier System”). Under the One-Tier System, the tax collected from corporate profits is a final tax and the after-tax profits of the company tax-resident in Singapore (excluding cooperatives) can be distributed to the shareholders as tax-exempt dividends. Such dividends are tax-exempt in the hands of the shareholders, regardless of whether the shareholder is a company or an individual and whether or not the shareholder is a Singapore tax resident.

Withholding Taxes

Singapore does not currently impose withholding tax on dividends paid to resident or non-resident shareholders.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

GST in Singapore is a consumption tax that is levied on import of goods into Singapore, as well as nearly all supplies of goods and services in Singapore at a prevailing rate of 8%, which rate will increase to 9% on January 1, 2024.

Other than as disclosed above, our business operations are not subject to any special legislation or regulatory controls other than those generally applicable to companies and businesses incorporated and/or operating in Singapore.

This section sets forth a summary of the material laws and regulations that affect our Group’s business and operations in Singapore. Information contained in this section should not be construed as a comprehensive summary nor detailed analysis of laws and regulations applicable to the business and operations of our Group. This overview is provided as general information only and not intended to be a substitute for professional advice. You should consult your own advisers regarding the implication of the laws and regulations of Singapore on our business and operations.

Infectious Diseases Act

The Infectious Diseases Act 1976 of Singapore (the “IDA”) relates to the quarantine and the prevention of infectious diseases. Under the IDA, if the Director-General of Health (the “DGH”) has reason to believe that there exist on any premises conditions that are likely to lead to the outbreak or spread of any infectious disease, he may, among other things, by written notice, order the closure of the premises for a period not exceeding 14 days, and require the owner or occupier of the premises to cleanse or disinfect the premises in the manner and within the time specified in the notice or carry out such additional measures as the DMS may require in the manner and within the time specified in the notice. Such notice directing the owner or the occupier of the premises to close the premises may be renewed by the DGH from time to time for such period, not exceeding 14 days, as the DGH may, by written notice, specify.

83

In addition, the DGH may order any person who is, or is suspected to be, a case or carrier or contact of an infectious disease to be detained and isolated in a hospital or other place for such period of time and subject to such conditions as the DGH may determine. The DGH may also direct any person carrying on any occupation, trade or business in a manner as is likely to cause the spread of infectious disease to take preventative action that the DGH reasonably believes is necessary to prevent the possible outbreak or prevent or reduce the spread of the infectious disease. Under the IDA, “preventative action” in the case of such direction, includes, among other things, requiring the person to stop carrying on, or not carry on, the occupation, trade or business during a period of time specified in the direction.

Infectious Diseases (COVID-19 — Stay Orders) Regulations 2020

On March 26, 2020, the Ministry of Health of Singapore promulgated the Infectious Diseases (COVID-19 — Stay Orders) Regulations 2020 under the IDA.

COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020

On April 7, 2020, the Singapore Parliament passed the COVID-19 Act. Under Section 34(1) of the COVID-19 Act, the Minister of Health is authorized to make regulations by way of a control order for the purpose of preventing, protecting against, delaying or otherwise controlling the incidence or transmission of COVID-19 in Singapore if the Minister of Health is satisfied that the incidence and transmission of COVID-19 in the community in Singapore constitutes a serious threat to public health, and a control order is necessary or expedient to supplement the IDA, and any other written law.

COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020

The Control Order Regulations came into effect on April 7, 2020 under the COVID-19 Act to implement the Circuit Breaker Measures. During 2020 and 2021, the Singapore government implemented extensive regulations and restrictions, including significant travel restrictions and rules relating to social gathering group sizes, mask wearing, workplace requirements and capacity limits.

Since then, the Singapore government has gradually announced the easing of safe management measures, alongside the enactment of the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Reopening – Control Order) Regulations 2022.

Central Provident Fund Act

The Central Provident Fund (“CPF”) system is a mandatory social security savings scheme funded by contributions from both employers and employees. Pursuant to the Central Provident Fund Act 1953 of Singapore, an employer is obliged to make CPF contributions for all employees who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents who are employed in Singapore by an employer including Singapore citizens who are employed under an agreement entered into in Singapore as a master, a seaman or an apprentice in any vessel. CPF contributions are not payable to permanent residents of Singapore who are employed as seamen. Specified exemptions relating to certain Scandinavian ships/ employers apply: CPF contributions are exempted for a seaman who is a Singapore citizen and is employed (1) In a Swedish or Norwegian ship on terms and conditions of service applicable to Swedish or Norwegian seamen; or (2) By the East Asiatic Co. Ltd. of Denmark on terms and conditions of the agreement between the Danish Shipowners’ Association and the Seamen’s Union in Denmark.

- each of our named executive officers;

- each of our directors and director nominees; and

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares issued and outstanding as of such date, plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our shares listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed on the table is 74 Tagore Lane, Singapore 787498.

Interests of Directors, Controlling Shareholders or Their Associates

In general, a conflict of interest arises when any of our directors, CEO, Controlling Shareholder or their Associates is carrying on or has any interest in any other corporation carrying on the same business or dealing in similar products or services as our Group. Save as disclosed below and in the sections entitled “Interested Person Transactions” and “Business – Our Major Customers” of this prospectus, during the Period Under Review and the period from 1 April 2019 to the Latest Practicable Date:

(a)	none of our Directors, Controlling Shareholder or any of their respective Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any transactions to which our Company or any of our subsidiary was or is a party;
(b)	none of our Directors, Controlling Shareholder or any of their respective Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any entity carrying on the same business or dealing in similar products which competes materially and directly with the existing business of our Group; and
(c)	none of our Directors, Controlling Shareholder or any of their respective Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any enterprise or company that is our customer or supplier of goods and services.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and our affairs are governed by our Amended Memorandum and our Amended Articles of Association, as amended from time to time, and the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, which we refer to as the Companies Act below, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital is US$500,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares, par value of US$0.001 each. As of the date of this prospectus, 11,250,000 Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding.

Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, we will have 11,250,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. All of our shares issued and outstanding prior to the completion of the offering are and will be fully paid, and all of our shares to be issued in the offering will be issued as fully paid.

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association

The following are summaries of certain material provisions of our Amended Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association (which we refer to as our Memorandum and Articles of Association below) and of the Companies Act, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Ordinary Shares. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Objects of Our Company. Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the objects of our Company are unrestricted, and we are capable of exercising all the functions of a natural person of full capacity irrespective of any question of corporate benefit, as provided by section 27(2) of the Companies Act.

Ordinary Shares. Our Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members. We may not issue shares to bearer. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their Ordinary Shares on a one vote for one share basis.

Dividends. The holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that dividends may be declared and paid out of the funds of our Company lawfully available therefor. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our Company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account; provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid out of our share premium if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

98

Voting Rights. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by way of a poll save that in the case of a physical meeting, the chairman of the meeting may decide that a vote be on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by:

● at least three shareholders present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting;

● shareholder(s) present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting; and

● shareholder(s) present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative and holding shares in us conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders will require the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast attaching to the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares at a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name, making changes to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, a reduction of our share capital and the winding up of our Company. Our shareholders may, among other things, divide or combine their shares by ordinary resolution.

General Meetings of Shareholders. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that we shall, if required by the Companies Act, in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors. All general meetings (including an annual general meeting, any adjourned general meeting or postponed meeting) may be held as a physical meeting at such times and in any part of the world and at one or more locations, as a hybrid meeting or as an electronic meeting, as may be determined by our board of directors in its absolute discretion.

Shareholders’ general meetings may be convened by the chairperson of our board of directors or by a majority of our board of directors. Advance notice of not less than ten clear days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of, at the time when the meeting proceeds to business, two shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-third of all votes attaching to issued and outstanding shares in our Company entitled to vote at such general meeting.

The Companies Act does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that upon the requisition of any one or more of our shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares of our Company entitled to vote at general meetings, our board will convene an extraordinary general meeting and put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. However, our Memorandum and Articles of Association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form designated by the relevant stock exchange or any other form approved by our board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ordinary Shares may also be transferred in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the relevant stock exchange.

99

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share unless:

● the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the Ordinary Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

● the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of Ordinary Shares;

● the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

● in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Ordinary Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

● a fee of such maximum sum as the relevant stock exchange may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within two months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required in accordance with the rules of the relevant stock exchange, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our board may determine.

Liquidation. On the winding up of our Company, if the assets available for distribution amongst our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to our Company for unpaid calls or otherwise. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, such the assets will be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses are borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares. We may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders of these shares, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by our board of directors. Our Company may also repurchase any of our shares on such terms and in such manner as have been approved by our board of directors. Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our Company’s profits, share premium account or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital if our Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding or (c) if the Company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

Variations of Rights of Shares. Whenever the capital of our Company is divided into different classes the rights attached to any such class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class, only be varied with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.

100

Issuance of Additional Shares. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association authorizes our board of directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association also authorizes our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preference shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preference shares, the terms and rights of that series, including, among other things:

● the designation of the series;

● the number of shares of the series;

● the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights and voting rights; and

● the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

Our board of directors may issue preference shares to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of Ordinary Shares.

Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our Ordinary Shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, our Memorandum and Articles of Association have provisions that provide our shareholders the right to inspect our register of shareholders without charge, and to receive our annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that:

● authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and

● limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders.

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our Memorandum and Articles of Association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our Company.

CERTAIN CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY CONSIDERATIONS

Exempted Company

We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

● does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

● is not required to open its register of members for inspection;

● does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

● may issue shares with no par value;

● may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

● may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

● may register as an exempted limited duration company; and

● may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on that shareholder’s shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

101

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent English statutory enactments and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Act and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

This discussion does not purport to be a complete statement of the rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares under applicable law in the Cayman Islands or the rights of holders of the common stock of a typical corporation under applicable Delaware law.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The plan must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation, provided the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Act. The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

102

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by seventy-five per cent in value of the members or class of members, as the case may be, with whom the arrangement is to be made or a majority in number of each class of creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent seventy-five per cent in value of each such class of creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

● the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

● the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

● the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

● the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.

The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of a dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted, in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, save that objectors to a takeover offer may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for various orders that the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands has a broad discretion to make, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

The Companies Act also contains statutory provisions which provide that a company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company (a) is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 93 of the Companies Act; and (b) intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either, pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring. The petition may be presented by a company acting by its directors, without a resolution of its members or an express power in its articles of association. On hearing such a petition, the Cayman Islands court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer or make any other order as the court thinks fit.

Shareholders’ Suits. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

● a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;

● the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; and

● those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that that we shall indemnify our directors and officers, and their personal representatives, against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such persons, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.

103

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties. Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act in good faith in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a personal profit based on his position as director (unless the company permits him to do so), a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his personal interest or his duty to a third party and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

Shareholder Action by Written Consent. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law permits us to eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent and our Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at any general meetings may be taken upon the vote of shareholders at a general meeting duly noticed and convened in accordance with our Amended and Restated Articles of Association and may not be taken by written consent of the shareholders without a meeting.

Shareholder Proposals. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Companies Act does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association allow our shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares of our Company entitled to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

104

Cumulative Voting. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, subject to certain restrictions as contained therein, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. An appointment of a director may be on terms that the director shall automatically retire from office (unless he has sooner vacated office) at the next or a subsequent annual general meeting or upon any specified event or after any specified period in a written agreement between the company and the director, if any; but no such term shall be implied in the absence of express provision. Under our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, a director’s office shall be vacated if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors; (ii) becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board of directors, is absent from three consecutive meetings of the board and the board resolves that his office be vacated; (v) is prohibited by law from being a director or; (vi) is removed from office pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting share within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Dissolution; Winding up. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

105

Variation of Rights of Shares. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, the rights attached to any such class may only be varied with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Amendment of Governing Documents. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law, our Memorandum and Articles of Association may only be amended with a special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders. There are no limitations imposed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our Memorandum and Articles of Association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of this offering, we will have 13,125,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

All of the Ordinary Shares sold in this offering by the Company will be freely transferable in the United States, without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, by persons other than our “affiliates.” Rule 144 of the Securities Act defines an “affiliate” of a company as a person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, our Company. All of our Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of this offering are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 because they were issued in a transaction or series of transactions not involving a public offering. Restricted securities may be sold only if they are the subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or if they are sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act such as those provided for in Rules 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rule is summarized below. Restricted shares may also be sold outside of the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. This prospectus may not be used in connection with any resale of our Ordinary Shares acquired in this offering by our affiliates.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Ordinary Shares. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares, and while we intend to apply for the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop for our Ordinary Shares. The Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding prior to this offering are restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities may be sold in the United States only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. These rules are described below.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have agreed with the underwriters, for a period of 6 months after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions not to (1) offer, sell, issue, pledge, contract to sell, contract to purchase, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, (2) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) file any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or publicly disclose the intention to take any such action.

Furthermore, each of our directors and executive officers and our 5% or greater shareholders with respect to its Ordinary Shares sold in this offering, has also entered into a similar lock-up agreement with the underwriters for a period of 6 months from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to our Ordinary Shares, and securities that are substantially similar to our Ordinary Shares.

We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our Ordinary Shares, or the availability of Ordinary Shares for future sale, will have on the trading price of our Ordinary Shares from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

106

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, persons who are not our affiliates and have beneficially owned our Ordinary Shares for more than six months but not more than one year may sell such Ordinary Shares without registration under the Securities Act subject to the availability of current public information about us. Persons who are not our affiliates and have beneficially owned our Ordinary Shares for more than one year may freely sell our Ordinary Shares without registration under the Securities Act. Persons who are our affiliates (including persons beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding shares), and have beneficially owned our Ordinary Shares for at least six months, may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities that does not exceed the greater of the following:

● 1.0% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares; or

● the average weekly trading volume of our Ordinary Shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale on Form 144 is filed with the SEC by such person.

Additionally, persons who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale may sell unrestricted securities under the requirements of Rule 144 described above, without regard to the six-month holding period of Rule 144, which does not apply to sales of unrestricted securities.

Such sales are also subject to manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. In addition, in each case, these shares would remain subject to any applicable lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

Rule 701

Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with certain restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. If any of our employees, executive officers, or directors purchase shares under a written compensatory plan or contract, they may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares would be required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling any such shares. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements as described below and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

Regulation S

Regulation S under the Securities Act provides an exemption from registration requirements in the United States for offers and sales of securities that occur outside the United States. Rule 903 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a sale by an issuer, a distributor, their respective affiliates, or anyone acting on their behalf. Rule 904 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a resale by persons other than those covered by Rule 903. In each case, any sale must be completed in an offshore transaction, as that term is defined in Regulation S, and no directed selling efforts, as that term is defined in Regulation S, may be made in the United States.

We are a foreign issuer as defined in Regulation S. As a foreign issuer, securities that we sell outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S are not considered to be restricted securities under the Securities Act, and, subject to the offering restrictions imposed by Rule 903, are freely tradable without registration or restrictions under the Securities Act, unless the securities are held by our affiliates. We are not claiming the potential exemption offered by Regulation S in connection with the offering of newly issued shares outside the United States and will register all of the newly issued shares under the Securities Act.

Subject to certain limitations, holders of our restricted shares who are not our affiliates or who are our affiliates by virtue of their status as our officer or director of may resell their restricted shares in an “offshore transaction” under Regulation S if:

● none of the shareholder, its affiliate, nor any person acting on their behalf engages in directed selling efforts in the United States, and

● in the case of a sale of our restricted shares by an officer or director who is our affiliate solely by virtue of holding such position, no selling commission, fee, or other remuneration is paid in connection with the offer or sale other than the usual and customary broker’s commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent.

Additional restrictions are applicable to a holder of our restricted shares who will be our affiliate other than by virtue of his or her status as our officer or director.

Resale Prospectus Shareholders Resale Prospectus

As described in the Explanatory Note to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the registration statement also contains the Resale Prospectus to be used in connection with the potential resale by the Resale Prospectus Shareholders of our Ordinary Shares held by it. These Ordinary Shares have been registered to permit public resale of such shares, and the Resale Prospectus Shareholders may offer the shares for resale from time to time pursuant to the Resale Prospectus. The Resale Prospectus Shareholders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to another effective registration statement covering those shares. Any shares sold by the Resale Prospectus Shareholders until our Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted on an established public trading market will take place at US$[●], which is the public offering price of the Ordinary Shares we are selling in our initial public offering. Thereafter, any sales will occur at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated prices.

MATERIAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary of certain Cayman Islands and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state and local tax laws or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands and the United States. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local or foreign law of the ownership of our Ordinary Shares. To the extent that this discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it is the opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman Pte. Ltd., our counsel as to Cayman Islands law.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a double tax treaty entered into with the United Kingdom in 2010 but otherwise is not party to any double tax treaties. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Our Company was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and has received an undertaking pursuant to the Tax Concessions Act of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, being March 21, 2022, no law which is thereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to our Company or its operations; and that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (a) on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of our Company; or (b) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act of the Cayman Islands.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required under Cayman Islands laws on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Ordinary Shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below) that acquire our Ordinary Shares in this offering and hold our Ordinary Shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion is based upon existing United States federal income tax law which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular investors in light of their specific circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (for example, certain financial institutions (including banks), cooperatives, pension plans, insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, partnerships and their partners, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), investors who are not U.S. Holders, investors who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value), investors that will hold their Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, or U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this discussion does not discuss any non-United States tax, state or local tax, or non-income tax (such as the U.S. federal gift or estate tax) considerations, or any consequences under the alternative minimum tax or Medicare tax on net investment income. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in our Ordinary Shares.

108

General

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise validly elected to be treated as a United States person under the Code.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner as a U.S. Holder, as described above, and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Ordinary Shares and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares.

Dividends

At this time, we do not intend to distribute dividends. However, the entire amount of any cash distribution paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares, if any, (including the amount of any non-U.S. taxes withheld therefrom, if any) generally will constitute dividends to the extent such distributions are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, and generally will be taxed as ordinary income in the year received by such U.S. Holder. To the extent amounts paid as distributions on the Ordinary Shares exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions will not be dividends, but instead will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined for federal income tax purposes, in the Ordinary Shares with respect to which the distribution is made, and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not intend to compute (or to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary to compute) our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder will be unable to establish that a distribution is not out of earnings and profits and should expect to treat the full amount of each distribution as a “dividend” for United States federal income tax purposes.

Any dividends that we pay, if any, will generally be treated as income from foreign sources for United States foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s particular facts and circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed (at a rate not exceeding any applicable treaty rate) on dividends received on our Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for United States federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Dividends paid in non-U.S. currency will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to a spot market exchange rate in effect on the date that the dividends are received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether such foreign currency is in fact converted into U.S. dollars on such date. Such U.S. Holder will have a tax basis for United States federal income tax purposes in the foreign currency received equal to that U.S. dollar value. If such dividends are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect thereof. If the foreign currency so received is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, such U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to such U.S. Holder and generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any foreign currency received by a U.S. Holder that are converted into U.S. dollars on a date subsequent to receipt.

109

Sale or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares, in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined for federal income tax purposes, in such Ordinary Shares, each amount determined in U.S. dollars. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Ordinary Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations, particularly with regard to shareholders who are individuals. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Ordinary Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under its particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder that receives Singapore dollars or currency other than U.S. dollars on the disposition of our Ordinary Shares will realize an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the non-U.S. currency received at the spot rate on the date of sale (or, if the Ordinary Shares are traded on a recognized exchange and in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis U.S. Holders, the settlement date). An accrual basis U.S. Holder that does not elect to determine the amount realized using the spot rate on the settlement date will recognize foreign currency gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the spot market exchange rates in effect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the currency received equal to the U.S. dollar value of the currency received on the settlement date. Any gain or loss on a subsequent disposition or conversion of the currency will be United States source ordinary income or loss.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

For United States federal income tax purposes, a non-United States corporation, such as our Company, will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company,” or “PFIC” if, in the case of any particular taxable year, either (a) 75% or more of our gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (b) 50% or more of the value of our assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based upon our current and expected income and assets (including goodwill and taking into account the expected proceeds from this offering) and the expected market price of our Ordinary Shares following this offering, we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future.

However, while we do not expect to be or become a PFIC, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether we are or will become a PFIC for any taxable year is a fact-intensive inquiry made annually that depends, in part, upon the composition and classification of our income and assets. Fluctuations in the market price of our Ordinary Shares may cause us to be or become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of our assets for the purpose of the asset test, including the value of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, may be determined by reference to the market price of our Ordinary Shares (which may be volatile). The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. It is also possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our classification of certain income or assets for purposes of the analysis set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b), above or the valuation of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, which may result in our company being or becoming a PFIC for the current or future taxable years.

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of Ordinary Shares. Under the PFIC rules:

(1) such excess distribution and/or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares;

(2) such amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, each a pre-PFIC year, will be taxable as ordinary income;

(3) such amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect applicable to the U.S. Holder for that year; and

(4) an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year.

110

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares and we own any equity in a non-United States entity that is also a PFIC, or a lower-tier PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of the entities in which we may own equity.

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock, provided that certain requirements are met. The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines is a qualified exchange that has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Although we intend to apply for the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, we cannot guarantee that our listing will be approved. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that, once listed, our Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed and regularly traded on such exchange. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors as to whether the Ordinary Shares are considered marketable for these purposes.

If an effective mark-to-market election is made with respect to our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over its adjusted tax basis of such Ordinary Shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis of the Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the fair market value of such Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, in each year that we are a PFIC any gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income and loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the mark-to-market gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not a PFIC.

Because a mark-to-market election generally cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that a PFIC may own, a U.S. Holder who makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our Ordinary Shares may continue to be subject to the general PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any of our non-United States subsidiaries if any of them is a PFIC.

If a U.S. Holder owns our Ordinary Shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, such holder would generally be required to file an annual IRS Form 8621. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the potential tax consequences to such holder if we are or become a PFIC, including the possibility of making a mark-to-market election.

THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY. IT DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN THE OUR ORDINARY SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISER ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES IN LIGHT OF SUCH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

UNDERWRITING*

In connection with this offering, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with Eddid Securities USA, Inc. as representative for the underwriters in this offering. The representative may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected dealers on their behalf in connection with this offering. The underwriters have agreed to purchase from us, on a firm commitment basis, the number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name below, at the offering price, less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this prospectus:

Underwriter	Number of Shares
Eddid Securities USA, Inc.	1,875,000
Total

The underwriters are committed to purchase all of the shares offered by us other than those covered by the option to purchase additional securities described below, if they purchase any such securities. The obligations of the underwriters may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters’ obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted a 45-day option to the representative of the underwriters to purchase up to 281,250 additional Ordinary Shares (equal to 15% of the Ordinary Shares initially offered by this prospectus) at a public offering price of $[●] per share, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters may exercise this option for 45 days from the date of this prospectus in whole or in part solely to cover sales of Ordinary Shares of the Company by the underwriters in excess of the total number of Ordinary Shares set forth in the table above. If any of these additional shares are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the Ordinary Shares are being offered.

Discounts and Expenses

The underwriting discounts and commissions are 7.5% of the initial public offering price.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before expenses to us. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 281,250 Ordinary Shares.

	PER SHARE		TOTAL WITHOUT OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION		TOTAL WITH OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
Initial public offering price	US$	[4.00]	US$	[7,500,000]
Underwriting discounts (7.5%)	US$	[0.30]	US$	[562,500]
Proceeds to us, before expenses, to us	US$	[3.70]	US$	[6,937,500]

The underwriters propose to offer the shares offered by us to the public at the public offering price per share set forth on the cover of this prospectus. In addition, the underwriters may offer some of the shares to other securities dealers at such price less a concession of $[0.30] per share. If all of the shares offered by us are not sold at the public offering price per share, the underwriters may change the offering price per share and other selling terms by means of a supplement to this prospectus.

The Company has agreed to pay the underwriters’ non-accountable expenses allowance equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the sale of the Company’s shares pursuant to this offering. The Company has also agreed to pay for a certain amount of the underwriter’s accountable expenses including actual accountable road show expenses for the offering; prospectus tracking and compliance software for the offering; background checks of the Company’s officers and directors; and preparation of bound volumes and cube mementos in such quantities as the underwriter may reasonably request; provided that these actual accountable expenses of the underwriter shall not exceed $300,000 in the aggregate, including the fees and disbursements of the underwriter’s counsel. The expense deposit of $70,000 already paid will be returned to us to the extent the underwriter’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).

The Company estimates that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions will be approximately US$[●].

Discretionary Accounts

The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of the securities offered hereby to any accounts over which they have discretionary authority.

Lock-Up Agreements

The Company, on behalf of itself and any successor entity, will agree in the Underwriting Agreement that, without the prior written consent of Eddid Securities, it will not, for a period of six months after the effective date of Company’s registration statement (the “Lock-Up Period”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (iii) complete any offering of debt securities of the Company, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of capital stock of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

In addition, each of our directors, officers and certain other shareholders has agreed to enter into customary lock-up agreements in favor of Eddid Securities that for a period of six months from the effective date of Company’s registration statement, they shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares of the Company, subject to customary exceptions.

Right of First Refusal

We have granted Eddid Securities USA, Inc. (“Eddid”) a right of first refusal, for a period of 9 months from the closing of this offering, to act as lead managing underwriter and book runner or minimally as co-lead manager and co-book runner and/or lead or co-lead placement agent at Eddid’s discretion, for each and every future public and private equity or debt (excluding commercial bank debt) offering, including all equity linked financings, during such 9 month period, of the Company, or any successor to or subsidiary of the Company.

Determination of offering price

The principal factors to be considered in determining the public offering price include:

● the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to Eddid Securities;

● our history and prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

● our past and present financial performance;

● our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our company;

● the general condition of the securities market at the time of this offering;

● the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded shares of generally comparable companies; and

● other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters and us.

The assumed public offering price set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our Ordinary Shares or that the Ordinary Shares will trade in the public market at or above the public offering price.

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriters, if any, participating in this offering and the underwriters participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares for sale to its online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or the underwriters in their capacity as underwriters, and should not be relied upon by investors.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities during and after this offering, including:

● stabilizing transactions;

● short sales;

● purchases to cover positions created by short sales;

● imposition of penalty bids; and

● syndicate covering transactions.

Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our securities while this offering is in progress. Stabilization transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. These transactions may also include making short sales of our Ordinary Shares, which involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of Ordinary Shares than they are required to purchase in this offering and purchasing Ordinary Shares on the open market to cover short positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered short sales,” which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked short sales,” which are short positions in excess of that amount.

The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option, in whole or in part, or by purchasing our securities in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of our securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase our securities through the over-allotment option.

Naked short sales are short sales made in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing our securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our securities in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchased in this offering.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because Eddid Securities has repurchased shares sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

These stabilizing transactions, short sales, purchases to cover positions created by short sales, the imposition of penalty bids and syndicate covering transactions may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our securities. As a result of these activities, the price of our securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the shares. Neither we, nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these stabilization transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

113

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, any underwriter who is a qualified market maker on Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions in the Company’s Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as a passive market maker. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in this registration statement have been audited by Marcum Asia CPAs LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in this registration statement have been audited by Friedman LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein. Such financial statements have been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The office of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP is located at 7 Penn Plaza, Suite 830, New York, NY 10001. The office of Friedman LLP is located at 1 Liberty Plaza, 165 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10006.

CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

Effective September 1, 2022, Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), our then independent registered public accounting firm, combined with Marcum LLP and continued to operate as an independent registered public accounting firm. On October 11, 2022, our board of directors dismissed Friedman and engaged Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm. The services previously provided by Friedman are now provided by Marcum Asia.

Friedman’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Furthermore, during our two most recent fiscal years and through October 11, 2022, there have been no disagreements with Friedman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Friedman’s satisfaction, would have caused Friedman to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on our financial statements for such periods.

For our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through October 11, 2022, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the Form 20-F, other than the material weaknesses reported by management in the Risk Factors section of our Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed with the SEC on September 13, 2022.

We provided Friedman with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that Friedman furnish us with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of Friedman’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

During our two most recent fiscal years and through October 11, 2022, neither our Company nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted Marcum Asia with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 16F(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of the Form 20-F.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We have filed a registration statement, including relevant exhibits, with the SEC on Form F-1 under the Securities Act with respect to the underlying Ordinary Shares to be sold in this offering. For the purposes of this section, the term “registration statement” means the original registration statement and any and all amendments thereto including the schedules and exhibits to the original registration statement or any amendment. This prospectus, which constitutes a part of the registration statement on Form F-1, does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement. You should read our registration statements and their exhibits and schedules for further information with respect to us and our Ordinary Shares.

Immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-1 of which this prospectus forms a part, we will become subject to periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act as applicable to foreign private issuers. Accordingly, we will be required to file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, and other information with the SEC. All information filed with the SEC, including the registration statement, can be obtained over the Internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You can request copies of documents, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing to the SEC.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. As we are a foreign private issuer, we will be required to file our annual report on Form 20-F within 120 days of the end of each year. However, we intend to furnish the depositary with our annual reports, which will include a review of operations and annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and all notices of shareholders’ meetings and other reports and communications that are made generally available to our shareholders.

1. Organization and Business Description

Organization and Nature of Operations

FBS Global Limited is a holding company which was incorporated on March 10, 2022 under the laws of Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability (“FBS Cayman” or “the Company”). It is a holding company with no business operation.

FBS Cayman owns 100% equity interest of Success Elite Development Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on February 22, 2022, acting as a holding company. Success Elite Development Limited (“SEDL”), in turn, holds 100% equity interest of Finebuild System Pte Ltd. (“FBS SG”), the only operation arm of the group of companies which is a limited liability company incorporated on March 9, 1996 under the laws of the Republic of Singapore.

From the beginning as a construction company since 1996, FBS SG has developed into a premier integrated engineering company that provides a full suite of construction and engineering services. These services include the supply of building materials and precast concrete components, recycling of construction and industrial wastes, research, and development, as well as pavement consultancy services. The Company is an established interior design and build (also referred to as “fit-out”) specialist in Singapore with a track record of over 20 years in institutional, residential, commercial and industrial building projects. The Company’s scope of services comprises design, supply and installation of ceilings, partitions, timber deck, carpet, lead lining, acoustic wall panel, built-in furnishing, carpentry and mechanical & electrical services of a building. The Company also undertakes main construction and building works projects.

A reorganization of the Company’s legal structure was completed on August 2, 2022. The reorganization involved the incorporation of FBS Cayman, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SEDL; and the transfer of all equity ownership of FBS SG to SEDL from the former shareholders of FBS SG. In consideration of the transfer, the Company issued 11,250,000 ordinary shares with par value $0.001 per share to the former shareholders of FBS SG.

On August 2, 2022, the former shareholders transferred their 100% ownership interest in FBS SG to SEDL, which is 100% owned by FBS Cayman. After the reorganization, FBS Cayman owns 100% equity interests of SEDL and FBS SG. The controlling shareholder of FBS Cayman is same as that of FBS SG prior to the reorganization.

The transactions were between entities under common control, and therefore accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interest method. Under the pooling-of-interests method, combination between two businesses under common control is accounted for at carrying amounts with retrospective adjustment of prior period financial statements, and the equity accounts of the combining entities are combined and the difference between the consideration paid and the net assets acquired is reflected as an equity transaction (i.e., distribution to parent company). As opposed to the purchase method of accounting, no intangible assets are recognized in the transaction, and no goodwill is recognized as a result of the reorganization.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of FBS Cayman and the following entity:

Subsidiary	Date of Incorporation	Jurisdiction of Formation	Percentage of direct/indirect Economic Ownership	Principal Activities
Success Elite Development Limited (SEDL)	February 22, 2022	BVI	100% owned by FBS Cayman	Investment Holding Company
Finebuild Systems Pte Ltd (“FBS SG”)	March 09, 1996	Singapore	100% owned by SEDL	General Contractors Building construction including major upgrading works

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations.

The Company engages in providing a full suite of construction and engineering services. The Company’s business is capital intensive. Working capital was approximately SGD 1.3 million (USD 1.0 million) as of June 30, 2023, as compared to approximately SGD 2.2 million as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, cash in bank balance was approximately SGD 2.5 million (USD 1.9 million). In addition to cash in bank, the Company also has other current assets mainly composed of accounts receivable, and contract assets. The Company had accounts receivable of approximately SGD 1.7 million (USD 1.3 million), and contract assets of approximately SGD 6.7 million (USD 5.0 million) as of June 30, 2023, all of them are short-term in nature and can be collected back within the Company’s operating cycles to be used to support the Company’s working capital need.

Although the Company believes that it can realize its current assets in the normal course of business, its ability to repay its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets. Management has considered historical experience, the economic environment, trends in the construction industry, and the expected collectability of accounts receivable and contract assets as of June 30, 2023. The Company expects to realize balances net of allowance within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-month period. If the Company is unable to realize its current assets within the normal twelvemonth operating cycle, the Company may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following:

● Financing from the Company’s officers/shareholders;

● Other available sources of financing from banks and other financial institutions, given the Company’s credit history;

Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in their plans. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the Company’s plans, such as changes in the demand for its services, economic conditions, competitive pricing in the construction industry, its operating results continuing to making profit and its bank and shareholders being able to provide continued financial support.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year of 2023. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and note thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.

While the Company continue to see an increasing demand for its services, the environment remains uncertain and it may not be sustainable over the longer term.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates required to be made by management, include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the determination of the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for deferred tax assets, uncertain tax position, right-of-use assets, financing lease liabilities, revenue recognition and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation and transaction

The Company uses Singapore Dollars (“SGD”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company in Cayman and British Virgin Island is U.S. dollar and the subsidiary which incorporate in Singapore is Singapore Dollars which are their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange in place at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Assets and liabilities of the Company translated from their respective functional currencies to the reporting currency at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Convenience translation

Translations of balances in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows from SGD into USD as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of SGD 1.00 to USD 0.74, representing the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of SGD as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the last trading day of June 30, 2023. No representation is made that the SGD amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at that rate, or at any other rate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the exchange price that would be received from an asset or paid to transfer a liability (as exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined 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. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

F-8

FBS GLOBAL LIMITED

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company considers the carrying amount of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of accounts receivable, contract assets, contract costs, due from related parties, financing lease, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, contract liabilities, income taxes payable, due to related parties, loan from related party, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to their short-term nature.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with commercial banks that can be added or withdrawn without limitation and have original maturities of less than three months. The Company maintains the bank accounts in Singapore. Cash balances in bank accounts in Singapore with maximum amount of SGD 75,000 are insured under the Deposit Protection Scheme introduced by the Singapore Government. Cash balances in bank accounts in Singapore are not otherwise insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

Restricted cash consisted of deposit which is required to be withheld in the bank by the Company to compensate the customer in case of breach of contract.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount. From January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under CECL is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 326 using the modified retrospective method in scope of the standard. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC Topic 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

Upon adoption, the Company recorded nil allowance for credit losses.

The Company uses simplified flow rate matrix approach to estimate expected credit losses for the accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses is estimated for accounts receivable that share similar risk characteristics based on a collective assessment using a combination of measurement models and management judgment. The approach considers factors including historical ageing schedule and forward-looking macroeconomic conditions.

Prepayments

Prepayments represent advance payments made to the service providers for future services. Prepayments are short-term in nature and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the realizability of the prepayments becomes doubtful. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no allowance recorded as the Company considers all of the prepayments fully realizable.

Lease

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”) issued by the FASB, using the modified retrospective transition method and elected the transition option to use an effective date of January 1, 2020 as the date of initial application. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the presentation of financing lease on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted which allows the Company not to reassess the following at adoption date:

(i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contains a lease, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases (i.e. whether those costs qualify for capitalization under ASU 2016-02). The Company also elected the short-term lease exemption for certain classes of underlying assets including office space, warehouses and equipment, with a lease term of 12 months or less.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contain a lease at inception. The Company classifies a lease as a finance lease when the lease meets any of the following criteria at lease commencement:

a. The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;

b. The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise;

c. The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;

d. The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments in accordance with ASC 842 paragraph 842-10-30-5(f) equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset;

e. The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

All leases of the Company are currently classified as financing leases. The Company recognizes a lease in the financial statement when the arrangement either explicitly or implicitly involves property, plant or equipment (“PP&E”), the contract terms are dependent on the useful life of the PP&E, and the Company have the ability or right to control the PP&E or to direct others to control the PP&E and receive the majority of the economic benefits of the assets. Financing lease liability, current, and financing lease liability, non-current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Please refer to Note 8 for the disclosures regarding the Company’s method of adoption of ASC 842 and the impacts of adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The financing lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

The Company applied its interest rate based on the actual incremental borrowing rate from the leasing contract that is available at lease commencement date in determining the lease interest expense. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expenses for lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, under depreciation expenses.

The Company reviews the impairment of its financing lease assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of financing lease liabilities in the tested asset group and include the associated financing lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Building	50 years
Land	Indefinite
Renovation	8 years
Furniture and fixtures	10 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Electronic equipment	1 – 3 years
Machinery	5 years
Forklift	6 years

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in other income or expenses.

The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairment losses on long-lived assets for the years ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted the revenue standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, starting January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of the date of adoption. The adoption of this ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

F-11

FBS GLOBAL LIMITED

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company enters into agreements with customers that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as services transfer to the customer. It is customary practice for the Company to have the agreements with its customers in writing. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the applicable agreement.

Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have revenue recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “Contract assets”. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients, in accordance with underlying contract terms, until certain conditions are met or the project is completed.

The Company will recognize the revenue of sales of construction material when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to the customer. Control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods.

Revenue from service orders is recognized when the entity satisfied the performance obligation at a point in time generally as the services are provided.

The contracts which the Company enters into with the clients are fixed price and provide for milestone billings based upon the attainment of specific project objectives to ensure the Company meets its contractual requirements. Additionally, contracts may include retentions or holdbacks paid at the end of a project to ensure that Company meets the contract requirements. The Company does not assess whether a contract contains a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between payment by the customers and the transfer of promised services to the customers will be less than one year.

Since the Company has concluded that the promises to be delivered on the contract would be one single performance obligation, no allocation of the transaction price is required and expected. As a professional interior design and fit-out service provider, the Company recognizes revenue based on the Company’s effort or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation over time as work progresses because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer and the Company’s right to bill the customer as costs are incurred.

The Company’s contract with the customer has payment terms specified based upon certain conditions completed. The Company will submit monthly progress claim to the customer, and after the Company received the certified interim progress certificate, the Company will issue a tax invoice to the customer. The final tax invoice is generally issued after the project completion and agreed by customer and the Company. As the Company’s customers are required to pay the Company at different billing stages over the contract period, as such, the Company believes the progress payments limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk and that the Company would be able to collect substantially all of the consideration gradually at different stages. The timing of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations is based upon the cost-to-cost measure of progress method, which is generally different than the timing of unconditional right of payment, and is based upon certain conditions completed as specified in the contract. The timing between the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations and the unconditional right of payment would contribute to contract assets and contract liabilities.

The Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs since costs incurred (an input method) represent a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. This method faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer when the Company is satisfying a performance obligation that entails a number of interrelated tasks or activities for a combined output that requires the Company to coordinate the work of employees and subcontractors. Contract costs typically include direct labor, subcontract and consultant costs, materials and indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in estimated costs to complete these obligations result in adjustments to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis, which causes the effect of revised estimates to be recognized in the current period. Changes in estimates can routinely occur over the contract term for a variety of reasons including, changes in scope, unanticipated costs, delays or favorable or unfavorable progress than original expectations. When the outcome of the contract cannot be reasonably measured, revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are expected to be recovered.

F-12

FBS GLOBAL LIMITED

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

When the current estimates of the total amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer, and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made as soon as the loss become evident. An adjustment is also made to reflect the effects of the customer’s credit risk. The loss on a contract is reported as an additional contract cost (an operating expense), and not as a reduction of revenue or a non-operating expense.

The Company’s contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of unpriced or pending change orders or claims that either increase or decrease the contract price. Variable consideration is generally estimated using the expected value method but may from time to time be estimated using the most likely amount method depending on the circumstance. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and known trends.

The following table presents revenue classified by timing of revenue recognition for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Total		8,989,528		8,985,864		6,649,539

Warranty

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warranties are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have revenue recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported on consolidated balance sheets as “Contract assets”. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients, in accordance with underlying contract terms, until certain conditions are met or the project is completed. Provisions for estimated losses of contract assets on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

Contract assets have billing term with unconditional right to be billed beyond one year are classified as non-current assets.

Contract liabilities on uncompleted contracts represent the amounts of cash collected from clients, billings to clients on contracts in advance of work performed and revenue recognized and provisions for losses. The majority of these amounts are expected to be earned within twelve months and are classified as current liabilities.

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies primarily relate to multiple entitlement granted by the Singapore government pursuant to the Job Support Scheme under the Anti-epidemic Fund. The Company recognizes government subsidies as other income when they are received because they are not subject to any past or future conditions. Government subsidies received and recognized as other income totaled SGD 0 and SGD 0 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

The Company’s cost of revenue is primarily comprised of the material costs, subcontracting costs and staff costs. These costs are expenses as incurred.

Borrowing Costs

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. The Company has recognized deferred tax assets for temporary differences, operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The accruals for deferred tax assets and liabilities, including deferred income tax assets and liabilities, are subject to significant judgment and are reviewed and adjusted routinely based on changes in facts and circumstances. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures.

The Company believes there were no uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Company does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months. The Company is not currently under examination by an income tax authority, nor has been notified that an examination is contemplated.

Earnings per share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS are computed by dividing income available to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised and converted into ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2022 and 2023, there were no dilutive shares.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss is incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

Significant Risks

Currency Risk

The Group’s operating activities are transacted in S$. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Group considers the foreign exchange risk in relation to transactions denominated in SGD with respect to USD is significant.

Concentration and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to the concentration of credit risks consist of cash and accounts receivable. The maximum exposures of such assets to credit risk are their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. The Company deposits its cash with financial institutions located in Singapore. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, SGD 1,989,817 and SGD 2,538,522 (USD 1,878,506) were deposited with financial institutions located in Singapore. The Deposit Protection Scheme introduced by the Singapore Government insured each depositor at one bank for a maximum amount of SGD75,000. Otherwise, these balances are not covered by insurance. The unsecured deposited amount as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 will be SGD 1,839,817 and SGD 2,388,522 (USD 1,767,506). The Company believes that no significant credit risk exists as these financial institutions have high credit quality and the Company has not incurred any losses related to such deposits.

For the credit risk related to accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. The allowance amounts were immaterial for all periods presented. The management believes that its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize material credit risk. Application for progress payment of contract works is made on a regular basis. The Company seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by the Directors.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, all of the Company’s assets were located in Singapore and all of the Company’s revenue were derived from its subsidiary located in Singapore. The Company has a concentration of its revenue and accounts receivable with specific customers and purchases and accounts payable with specific suppliers.

Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in market interest rates may negatively affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company is exposed to floating interest rate risk on cash deposit and floating rate borrowings, and the risks due to changes in interest rates is not material. The Company has not used any derivative financial instruments to manage the interest risk exposure.

Recently Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company, or EGC, and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-03 Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. These amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The FASB is issuing this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The specific areas of potential simplification in this ASU were submitted by stakeholders as part of the Simplification Initiative. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

The Company also has a banker’s guarantee totaling SGD 2.23 million (USD 1.65 million) from UOB Bank for the ongoing projects as of June 30, 2023. These guarantees are at the request of the main contractor or owner as a security deposit for the performance of the Company obligations under the contracts.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome arising out of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations on an individual basis or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Company is involved to any material legal or administrative proceedings for cases below.

In August 2021, Newspaper Seng Pte Ltd filed a claim against the Company for an amount of approximately SGD2.2 million. Newspaper Seng claim that they have enter an oral agreement with the Company in September 2015 to purchase a land and building at 54 Pandan Road, Singapore 609292 to redevelopment, and sale or commercial utilization of the land. Newspaper Seng would invest monies and the Company would be in charge the purchase, redevelopment and commercial utilization of the property. In November 2019, the Company transferred the property to a third party without the acknowledgment of Newspaper Seng. Hence Newspaper Seng wish to claim back the amount stated above to compensate the loss of the investment. Newspaper Seng Pte Ltd decided to withdraw the suit claims on November 30, 2023. However, the Asisstant Registrar Constance Tay (“AR”) does not allow for a settlement to take place in the absence of Plaintiff’s solicitors who are still on record. The Court directed The Company’s lawyer to update the Plaintiff’s solicitors to attend to the next Pre-Trial Conference (“PTC”), which took place on January 04, 2024.

Mr. Lau’s solicitors discharged themselves of their representation and Mr. Lau indicated his intent to represent Newspaper Seng in the proceeding; however, the Court said this was impermissible. If Mr. Lau does not retain counsel, the Company’s striking out application to close the matter is expected to be granted. If Newspaper Seng retains counsel and intends to contest the striking out application, their reply affidavit is due by 15 February 2024 with a hearing to take place on February 28, 2024, regardless of whether or not counsel has been retained by Newspaper Seng at this time. In the meantime, legal counsel for the Company is in discussion with Mr. Lau to withdraw the suit against the Company. We expect the matter to be resolved favorably to the Company either through agreement or determination by the court in the first quarter of 2024.

Risk and Uncertainty

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures, which have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. These measures, though temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments in the COVID-19’s outbreak.

In the longer-term, if there is any resurgence of COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore, due to the spread of the Delta variant, the Omicron variant or other new variants, it is likely to adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, and could result in a global economic downturn and a recession. This would likely adversely affect the Company’s business, and, in turn negatively impact its business and results of operations.

15. Segment Reporting

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments.

The Company uses the management approach to determine reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance.

Based on the management’s assessment, the Company determined that it has only one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment as defined by ASC 280. The Company’s assets are all located in Singapore and all of the Company’s revenue and expense are derived in the Singapore. Therefore, no geographical segments are presented. The single segment represents the Company’s revenue from construction contracts, sale of construction materials and rendering of services to its customers in Singapore.

16. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2023 up through the date the Company issued these financial statements on December 27, 2023 for disclosure or recognition in this unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as appropriate.

FBS Global Limited

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Business Description

Organization and Nature of Operations

FBS Global Limited is a holding company which was incorporated on March 10, 2022 under the laws of Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability (“FBS Cayman” or “the Company”). It is a holding company with no business operation.

FBS Cayman owns 100% equity interest of Success Elite Development Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on February 22, 2022, acting as a holding company. Success Elite Development Limited (“SEDL”), in turn, holds 100% equity interest of Finebuild System Pte Ltd. (“FBS SG”), the only operation arm of the group of companies which is a limited liability company incorporated on March 9, 1996 under the laws of the Republic of Singapore.

From the beginning as a construction company since 1996, FBS SG has developed into a premier integrated engineering company that provides a full suite of construction and engineering services. These services include the supply of building materials and precast concrete components, recycling of construction and industrial wastes, research, and development, as well as pavement consultancy services.

The Company is an established interior design and build (also referred to as “fit-out”) specialist in Singapore with a track record of over 20 years in institutional, residential, commercial and industrial building projects. The Company’s scope of services comprises design, supply and installation of ceilings, partitions, timber deck, carpet, lead lining, acoustic wall panel, built-in furnishing, carpentry and mechanical & electrical services of a building. The Company also undertakes main construction and building works projects.

A reorganization of the Company’s legal structure was completed on August 2, 2022. The reorganization involved the incorporation of FBS Cayman, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SEDL; and the transfer of all equity ownership of FBS SG to SEDL from the former shareholders of FBS SG. In consideration of the transfer, the Company issued 11,250,000 ordinary shares with par value $0.001 per share to the former shareholders of FBS SG.

On August 2, 2022, the former shareholders transferred their 100% ownership interest in FBS SG to SEDL, which is 100% owned by FBS Cayman. After the reorganization, FBS Cayman owns 100% equity interests of SEDL and FBS SG. The controlling shareholder of FBS Cayman is same as that of FBS SG prior to the reorganization.

The transactions were between entities under common control, and therefore accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interest method. Under the pooling-of-interests method, combination between two businesses under common control is accounted for at carrying amounts with retrospective adjustment of prior period financial statements, and the equity accounts of the combining entities are combined and the difference between the consideration paid and the net assets acquired is reflected as an equity transaction (i.e., distribution to parent company). As opposed to the purchase method of accounting, no intangible assets are recognized in the transaction, and no goodwill is recognized as a result of the reorganization.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of FBS Cayman and the following entity:

Subsidiary	Date of Incorporation	Jurisdiction of Formation	Percentage of direct/indirect Economic Ownership	Principal Activities
Success Elite Development Limited (SEDL)	February 22, 2022	BVI	100% owned by FBS Cayman	Investment Holding Company
Finebuild Systems Pte Ltd (“FBS SG”)	March 09, 1996	Singapore	100% owned by SEDL	General Contractors Building construction including major upgrading works

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations.

The Company engages in providing a full suite of construction and engineering services. The Company’s business is capital intensive. Working capital was approximately SGD 2.2 million (USD 1.6 million) as of December 31, 2022, as compared to approximately SGD 2.3 million as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, cash in bank balance was approximately SGD 2.0 million (USD 1.5 million). In addition to cash in bank, the Company also has other current assets mainly composed of accounts receivable, and contract assets. The Company had accounts receivable of approximately SGD 3.4 million (USD 2.6 million), and contract assets of approximately SGD 7 million (USD 5.3 million) as of December 31, 2022, all of them are short-term in nature and can be collected back within the Company’s operating cycles to be used to support the Company’s working capital need.

Although the Company believes that it can realize its current assets in the normal course of business, its ability to repay its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets. Management has considered historical experience, the economic environment, trends in the construction industry, and the expected collectability of accounts receivable and contract assets as of December 31, 2022. The Company expects to realize accounts receivable balances net of allowance within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-month period. If the Company is unable to realize its current assets within the normal twelve-month operating cycle, the Company may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following:

● Financing from the Company’s officers/shareholders;

● Other available sources of financing from banks and other financial institutions, given the Company’s credit history;

● Enhancing its marketing efforts to boost its sales in order to increase awareness of its marketplace and brands among the industry throughout Singapore.

Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in their plans. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the Company’s plans, such as changes in the demand for its services, economic conditions, competitive pricing in the construction industry, its operating results not continuing to deteriorate and bank and shareholders being able to provide continued financial support.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.

F-35

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates required to be made by management, include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the determination of the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for deferred tax assets, uncertain tax position, right-of-use assets, financing lease liabilities, revenue recognition and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation and transaction

The Company uses Singapore Dollars (“SGD”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company in Cayman and British Virgin Island is U.S. dollar and the subsidiary which incorporate in Singapore is Singapore Dollars which are their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange in place at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Assets and liabilities of the Company translated from their respective functional currencies to the reporting currency at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Convenience translation

Translations of balances in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows from SGD into USD as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of SGD 1.00 to USD 0.75, representing the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of SGD as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the last trading day of December 30, 2022. No representation is made that the SGD amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at that rate, or at any other rate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the exchange price that would be received from an asset or paid to transfer a liability (as exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.

F-36

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined 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. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 —	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 —	Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 —	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company considers the carrying amount of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of accounts receivable, contract assets, contract costs, due from related parties, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, contract liabilities, financing lease liabilities-current, income taxes payable, due to related parties, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 due to their short-term nature.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with commercial banks that can be added or withdrawn without limitation and have original maturities of less than three months. The Company maintains the bank accounts in Singapore. Cash balances in bank accounts in Singapore with maximum amount of SGD 75,000 are insured under the Deposit Protection Scheme introduced by the Singapore Government. Cash balances in bank accounts in Singapore are not otherwise insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

Restricted cash consisted of deposit which is required to be withheld in the bank by the Company to compensate the customer in case of breach of contract.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts are considered overdue after 120 days.

The Company determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis, historical collection trend, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry trend analysis, and the credit history and financial conditions of the customers. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

Prepayments

Prepayments represent advance payments made to the service providers for future services. Prepayments are short-term in nature and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the realizability of the prepayments becomes doubtful. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, there was no allowance recorded as the Company considers all of the prepayments fully realizable.

Lease

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”) issued by the FASB, using the modified retrospective transition method and elected the transition option to use an effective date of January 1, 2020 as the date of initial application. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the presentation of financing lease on the consolidated balance sheet.

F-37

The Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted which allows the Company not to reassess the following at adoption date: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contains a lease, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases (i.e. whether those costs qualify for capitalization under ASU 2016-02). The Company also elected the short-term lease exemption for certain classes of underlying assets including office space, warehouses and equipment, with a lease term of 12 months or less.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contain a lease at inception. The Company classifies a lease as a finance lease when the lease meets any of the following criteria at lease commencement:

a.	The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
b.	The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise;
c.	The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;
d.	The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments in accordance with ASC 842 paragraph 842-10-30-5(f) equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset;
e.	The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

All leases of the Company are currently classified as financing leases. The Company recognizes a lease in the financial statement when the arrangement either explicitly or implicitly involves property, plant or equipment (“PP&E”), the contract terms are dependent on the useful life of the PP&E, and the Company have the ability or right to control the PP&E or to direct others to control the PP&E and receive the majority of the economic benefits of the assets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The financing lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

The Company applied its interest rate based on the actual incremental borrowing rate from the leasing contract that is available at lease commencement date in determining the lease interest expense. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expenses for lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, under depreciation expenses.

The Company reviews the impairment of its financing lease assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of financing lease liabilities in the tested asset group and include the associated financing lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Building	50 years
Land	Indefinite
Renovation	8 years
Furniture and fixtures	10 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Electronic equipment	1 – 3 years
Machinery	5 years
Forklift	6 years

F-38

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in other income or expenses.

The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Deferred Offering Cost

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the initial public offering. These costs, together with the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be charged to permanent equity upon completion of the initial public offering. Should the initial public offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group has incurred and deferred SGD522,987 (USD 392,240) of deferred offering costs.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairment losses on long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted the revenue standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, starting January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of the date of adoption. The adoption of this ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company enters into agreements with customers that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as services transfer to the customer. It is customary practice for the Company to have the agreements with its customers in writing. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the applicable agreement.

Construction projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have revenue recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “Contract assets”. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients, in accordance with underlying contract terms, until certain conditions are met or the project is completed.

The Company will recognize the revenue of sales of construction material when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good to the customer. Control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods.

Revenue from rendering of service orders is recognized when the entity satisfied the performance obligation at a point in time generally as the services are provided.

F-39

The construction contracts which the Company enters into with the clients are fixed price and provide for milestone billings based upon the attainment of specific project objectives to ensure the Company meets its contractual requirements. Additionally, contracts may include retentions or holdbacks paid at the end of a project to ensure that Company meets the contract requirements. The Company does not assess whether a contract contains a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between payment by the customers and the transfer of promised services to the customers will be less than one year.

Since the Company has concluded that the promises to be delivered on the construction contract would be one single performance obligation, no allocation of the transaction price is required and expected. As a professional interior design and fit-out service provider, the Company recognizes revenue based on the Company’s effort or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation over time as work progresses because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer and the Company’s right to bill the customer as costs are incurred.

The Company’s contract with the customer has payment terms specified based upon certain conditions completed. The Company will submit monthly progress claim to the customer, and after the Company received the certificate from customer, the Company will issue a tax invoice to the customer. The final tax invoice is generally issued after the project completion and agreed by customer and the Company. As the Company’s customers are required to pay the Company at different billing stages over the contract period, as such, the Company believes the progress payments limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk and that the Company would be able to collect substantially all of the consideration gradually at different stages. The timing of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations is based upon the cost-to-cost measure of progress method, which is generally different than the timing of unconditional right of payment, and is based upon certain conditions completed as specified in the contract. The timing between the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations and the unconditional right of payment would contribute to contract assets and contract liabilities.

The Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs since costs incurred (an input method) represent a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. This method faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer when the Company is satisfying a performance obligation that entails a number of interrelated tasks or activities for a combined output that requires the Company to coordinate the work of employees and subcontractors. Contract costs typically include direct labor, subcontract and consultant costs, materials and indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in estimated costs to complete these obligations result in adjustments to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis, which causes the effect of revised estimates to be recognized in the current period. Changes in estimates can routinely occur over the contract term for a variety of reasons including, changes in scope, unanticipated costs, delays or favorable or unfavorable progress than original expectations. When the outcome of the contract cannot be reasonably measured, revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are expected to be recovered.

When the current estimates of the total amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer, and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made as soon as the loss become evident. An adjustment is also made to reflect the effects of the customer’s credit risk. The loss on a contract is reported as an additional contract cost (an operating expense), and not as a reduction of revenue or a non-operating expense.

The Company’s contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of unpriced or pending change orders or claims that either increase or decrease the contract price. Variable consideration is generally estimated using the expected value method but may from time to time be estimated using the most likely amount method depending on the circumstance. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and known trends.

Rendering of services		5,485		-		-
Total		22,735,122		16,824,168		12,618,126

Warranty

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warranties are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate. There were no such reserves for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 because the Company’s historical warranty expenses were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have revenue recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported on consolidated balance sheets as “Contract assets”. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients, in accordance with underlying contract terms, until certain conditions are met or the project is completed. Provisions for estimated losses of contract assets on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

Contract assets have billing term with unconditional right to be billed beyond one year are classified as non-current assets.

Contract liabilities on uncompleted contracts represent the amounts of cash collected from clients, billings to clients on contracts in advance of work performed and revenue recognized and provisions for losses. The majority of these amounts are expected to be earned within twelve months and are classified as current liabilities.

F-41

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies primarily relate to multiple entitlement granted by the Singapore government pursuant to the Job Support Scheme under the Anti-epidemic Fund. The Company recognizes government subsidies as other income when they are received because they are not subject to any past or future conditions. Government subsidies received and recognized as other income totaled SGD133,148 and SGD0 (USD 0) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

The Company’s cost of revenue is primarily comprised of the material costs, subcontracting costs and staff costs. These costs are expenses as incurred.

Borrowing Costs

All borrowing costs are recognized in interest expenses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and were included as part of selling and marketing expenses. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, totaled nil and nil respectively.

Employee Benefit Plan

Employees of the Company located in Singapore participate in a compulsory saving scheme (pension fund) for the retirement of residents in Singapore. Employees are required to contribute monthly to mandatory provident fund schemes provided by approved private organizations, according to their salaries and the period of employment. The Company is required to contribute to the plan based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. Total expenses for the plan were SGD141,745 and SGD132,471 (USD 99,353) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. The Company has recognized deferred tax assets for temporary differences, operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The accruals for deferred tax assets and liabilities, including deferred income tax assets and liabilities, are subject to significant judgment and are reviewed and adjusted routinely based on changes in facts and circumstances. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Group’s uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes.

The Company believes there were no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months. The Company is not currently under examination by an income tax authority, nor has been notified that an examination is contemplated.

F-42

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS are computed by dividing income available to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised and converted into ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, there were no dilutive shares.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss is incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

Significant Risks

Currency Risk

The Group’s operating activities are transacted in S$. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Group considers the foreign exchange risk in relation to transactions denominated in SGD with respect to USD is significant.

Concentration and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to the concentration of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The maximum exposures of such assets to credit risk are their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions located in Singapore.

Recently Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company, or EGC, and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.

In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which will be effective January 1, 2020. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model for which a company recognizes an allowance based on the estimate of expected credit loss. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which clarified that receivables from operating leases are not within the scope of Topic 326 and instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. On May 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides transition relief for entities adopting the Board’s credit losses standard, ASU 2016-13. Specifically, ASU 2019-05 amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option for financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of the credit losses guidance in ASC 326-20, (3) are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10, and (4) are not held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. An entity may early adopt the ASU in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. For all other entities, the effective date will be the same as the effective date of ASU 2016-13. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses.” ASU 2019-11 is an accounting pronouncement that amends ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The ASU 2019-11 amendment provides clarity and improves the codification to ASU 2016-03. The pronouncement would be effective concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2016-03. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, which provides clarifying guidance and minor updates to ASU No. 2016-13 — Financial Instruments — Credit Loss (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”) and related to ASU No. 2016-02 — Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2020-02 amends the effective date of ASU 2016-13, such that ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Uncertain tax positions

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company evaluates each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Financing lease		49,508		18,600		30,908		-		-

Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome arising out of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations on an individual basis or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company is a party to legal or administrative proceedings for cases below.

In August 2021, Newspaper Seng Pte Ltd filed a claim against the Company for an amount of approximately $2.2 million. Newspaper Seng claim that they have enter an oral agreement with the Company in September 2015 to purchase a land and building at 54 Pandan Road, Singapore 609292 to redevelopment, and sale or commercial utilization of the land. Newspaper Seng would invest monies and the Company would be in charge the purchase, redevelopment and commercial utilization of the property. In November 2019, the Company transferred the property to a third party without the acknowledgment of Newspaper Seng. Hence Newspaper Seng wish to claim back the amount stated above to compensate the loss of the investment. The case was dismissed on February 16, 2023 and judgment was entered in favor of the Company’s Counterclaim. On March 10, 2023, Newspaper Seng Pte Ltd filed an application to set aside the dismissal order (the “Setting Aside Application”). As the Court had directed that the Setting Aside Application was erroneously filed, and a fresh Setting Aside Application was filed on May 2, 2023 currently it is still pending.

Risk and Uncertainty

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures, which have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. These measures, though temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments in the COVID-19’s outbreak.

After the initial outbreak of COVID-19, from time to time, some instances of COVID-19 infections have emerged in Singapore, including the infections caused by the Omicron variants in early 2022. Such outbreak caused significant interruption to the Company’s operations as the construction work site must stop for two weeks if there is a COVID-19 positive case confirm. The material cost and labor cost also increasing dramatically, due to reduction of logistic and quarantine policy implement by the government. The extent to which COVID-19 further impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects is expect to go lower in the foreseeable future.

15. Segment Reporting

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments.

The Company uses the management approach to determine reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance.

Based on the management’s assessment, the Company determined that it has only one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment as defined by ASC 280. The Company’s assets are all located in Singapore and all of the Company’s revenue and expense are derived in the Singapore. Therefore, no geographical segments are presented. The single segment represents the Company’s revenue from construction contracts, sale of construction materials and rendering of services to its customers in Singapore.

16. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after December 31, 2022 up through the date the Company issued these financial statements on June 26, 2023, for disclosure or recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as appropriate.

In connection with the sale of the Ordinary Shares or interests therein, the Resale Prospectus Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Ordinary Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Resale Prospectus Shareholders may also sell Ordinary Shares short and deliver these shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares. The Resale Prospectus Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Resale Prospectus Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Ordinary Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Ordinary Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Resale Prospectus Shareholders have informed the Company that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Ordinary Shares.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the Ordinary Shares.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Ordinary Shares may be resold by the Resale Prospectus Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect; or (ii) all of the Ordinary Shares held by the Resale Prospectus Shareholders have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The Ordinary Shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Ordinary Shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Resale Prospectus Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Ordinary Shares by the Resale Prospectus Shareholders or any other person.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Cayman Islands’ laws do not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent that any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as providing indemnification against fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association permits indemnification of our directors and officers, and their personal representatives, against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such persons, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our Company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our Company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These agreements will require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Cayman Islands law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, subject to our Company reserving its rights to recover the full amount of such advances in the event that he or she is subsequently found to have been negligent or otherwise have breached his or her trust or fiduciary duties to our Company or to be in default thereof, or where the Cayman Islands courts have declined to grant relief.

The form of underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will also provide for indemnification of us and our officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 7. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

During the past three years, we have issued and sold the following securities without registering such securities under the Securities Act. We believe that each of the following issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering or in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act regarding sales by an issuer in offshore transactions. No underwriters were involved in these issuances of securities.

Ordinary Shares

Upon incorporation on March 10, 2022, the Registrant had issued to the subscriber one ordinary share of par value US$1.00, which was transferred to Mr. Kelvin Ang on the same day. Pursuant to a group reorganization on August 2, 2022, the Registrant issued an aggregate of 11,249,000 Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.001, as follows:

Securities/Purchaser	Date of Sale or Issuance	Number of Securities	Consideration
Kelvin Ang	August 2, 2022	10,165,663 Ordinary Shares	Issued pursuant to the Company’s acquisition of the issued shares of Success Elite Developments Limited
Master Stride Limited	August 2, 2022	555,723 Ordinary Shares	Issued pursuant to the Company’s acquisition of the issued shares of Success Elite Developments Limited
Fame Hall Investment Limited	August 2, 2022	528,614 Ordinary Shares	Issued pursuant to the Company’s acquisition of the issued shares of Success Elite Developments Limited

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

(a) Exhibits

See “Exhibit Index” beginning on page II-2 of this registration statement.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

All supplement schedules are omitted because of the absence of conditions under which they are required or because the data is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
