The use of the Net Proceeds set out above is in accordance with the stated use and percentage allocated in the Company's announcement dated 21 October 2020 in relation to the Placement except for the aggregate amount of S$931,000, utilised to repay existing creditors, which has exceeded the amount of S$700,000 that was initially allocated and the aggregate amount of S$898,000, utilised for general working capital purposes, which has exceeded the range of S$640,000 to S$800,000 that was initially allocated. The Group's initial allocation of funds during the Placement exercise was based on our best understanding and expectation of the Group's payables at that point in time. The excess of S$231,000 over the amount of S$700,000 that was initially allocated to repay existing creditors was mainly due to additional payments made as a result of further negotiations with some of the existing creditors (including the consultant/project manager in Madagascar). The excess of S$98,000 over the maximum amount of S$800,000 that was initially allocated for general working capital purposes was mainly due to payment of recurring expenses that are incurred beyond the estimated range of S$640,000 to S$800,000 over the initial period of four to five months following the completion of the Placement in early November 2020. As an update, the Group continues to experience delays in commencing the pilot production in Madagascar as a result of the travel restrictions in Madagascar due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government of Madagascar had declared a renewed state of health emergency on 3 April 2021 and has been extending the state of health emergency since then, with the latest extension of a further 15 days being effective from 28 June 2021. The borders of Madagascar remain closed to passengers from overseas and the Company continues to monitor the COVID19 situation in Madagascar closely. Consequently, the Group had paid out more monies than initially allocated to the creditors and service providers in order to maintain the continued provision of services so as to avoid disruptions to the operations of the Group.

To date, approximately S$1.88 million of the Net Proceeds has been materially disbursed.
