DIVIDEND POLICY<br />

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We do not currently<br />

anticipate paying any cash dividends in FY2000.<br />

We have a dividend policy which commensurates with our earnings, financial position and future<br />

plans.<br />

We may, by ordinary resolution, declare dividends at a general meeting, but we may not pay dividends<br />

in excess of the amount recommended by our Directors. Our Directors may declare an interim<br />

dividend without seeking shareholders’ approval.<br />

In making their recommendation on the amount of the final dividend or to declare an interim dividend,<br />

our Directors will consider, among other things,<br />

• our future prospects;<br />

• our results of operations, cash flow and financial conditions;<br />

• our capital requirements;<br />

• general business conditions; and<br />

• other factors which our Directors may deem relevant.<br />

We must pay all dividends out of profits, which would generally comprise retained earnings, or<br />

pursuant to Section 69(2)(c) of the Companies Act, which permits the application of the share premium<br />

attributable to our issued ordinary shares to the payment of dividends in the form of shares.<br />

We will pay any cash dividends on our Shares in Singapore dollars.<br />
