CHAIRMAN AND CEO STATEMENT

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

The financial year ended 31 July 2021 ("FY2021") was an eventful year for LifeBrandz Ltd. ("LifeBrandz" or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), as the Group performed a strategic review in December 2020 and subsequently carried it out by disposing and/or ceasing a number of underperforming entities/businesses within its business portfolio in February 2021.

Thereafter, efforts were made to streamline and strengthen internal processes and its existing operations. The current operation of the Group is the Mulligan's Irish Pub in Pattaya, Thailand. The restructuring of non-performing entities/businesses and the above efforts taken, coupled with cost management, has enabled the Group to post a profit before tax of S$0.7 million for FY2021, as compared to a loss of S$2.8 million in FY2020 (excluding discontinued operations).

Healthy Balance Sheet

In FY2021, the Company completed two placement exercises, one in December 2020 and another in March 2021, raising gross proceeds of S$0.45 million and S$1.53 million respectively. The Company also completed a rights cum warrants issue exercise in end June 2021 and successfully raised the maximum gross proceeds of S$5.15 million. In total, the Company raised net proceeds of S$6.88 million in FY2021 (after netting off share issuance expenses of S$0.25 million), which together with the restructuring of certain debts and the abovementioned efforts, helped turn around its net liability position of S$7.7 million as at 31 July 2020 to a net asset position of S$3.6 million as at 31 July 2021. Further, the improved balance sheet is mainly backed by cash.

With a healthier balance sheet, it can also facilitate discussions with potential business

partners as we explore opportunities within our current scope of business as well as new opportunities.

Outlook and Strategies

During the past 22 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected many economies and businesses around the world, even crippling some. However, as we see vaccination programmes worldwide being rolled out and gaining momentum, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel. The gradual easing of restrictions has just begun, and with more countries opening and the resumption of air travel, it bodes well for the recovery of the global economy. There could be other risks arising from the geopolitical tensions, potential emergence of new variants and/or rising commodity prices. But if COVID-19 can be contained with the resumption of pre-COVID-19 lifestyles and regular activities, then we believe there are already reasons to be optimistic, albeit cautiously.

While the Group sets its sight on positioning LifeBrandz for the pending recovery and building sustainable businesses, we are conscious of its limited resources in its re-building strategy. Thus, in evaluating opportunities, we must not be overly aggressive and compulsive in committing the Group. We will continue to evaluate and assess opportunities carefully with a view of building long-term value to shareholders.

On behalf of the Group, I would like to thank our shareholders, fellow Board members, employees, and stakeholders for your continued support as we work towards rebuilding LifeBrandz.
