PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Prior to the Placement, there has been no public market for our Shares. The Placement Price is
determined by us and the Vendor in consultation with the Sponsor, Issue Manager and Placement Agent

the Placement Shares determined through a book-building process. The Placement Price is the same for
all the Placement Shares and is payable in full on application.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we are not aware of any person who intends to subscribe for
and/or purchase more than 5.0% of the Placement Shares. However, through a book-building process to
assess market demand for our Shares, there may be person(s) who may indicate his interest to subscribe
for and/or purchase more than 5.0% of the Placement Shares. If such person(s) were to make an
application for more than 5.0% of the Placement Shares pursuant to the Placement and are subsequently
allotted and/or allocated such number of Shares, we will make the necessary announcements at the
appropriate time. The final allotment and/or allocation of Placement Shares will be in accordance with the
shareholding spread and distribution guidelines as set out in the Catalist Rules.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider and evaluate each of the following risk factors and all
other information contained in this Offer Document before deciding to invest in our Shares. Some of the
following risk factors relate principally to the industry in which our Group operates and the business of our
Group in general. Other considerations relate principally to general economic and political conditions and
the securities market and ownership of the Shares, including possible future sale of Shares. To the best of
our Directors and the Vendors knowledge and belief, all risk factors which are material to investors in
making an informed judgment of our Group have been set out below. If any of the following
considerations, uncertainties or material risks develops into actual events, our business, financial position
and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of
our Shares could decline due to any of these considerations, uncertainties or material risks, and investors
may lose all or part of their investment in our Shares.
This Offer Document also contains forward-looking statements having direct and/or indirect implications
on our future performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by these
forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including the risks and uncertainties faced by us, as
described below and elsewhere in this Offer Document.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
We typically do not enter into long term contracts with our customers
We typically rent our cranes to customers on a daily or short term basis. Our existing customers generally
do not enter into long term contracts with us for the rental of cranes, save for Jurong Port with whom we
have a contract to provide services for the supply of two mobile cranes deployed at the Penjuru Lighter
Terminal for two years. Please refer to the Major Customers section of this Offer Document for more
details. As such, there is no guarantee that our customers will continue to rent our cranes after the
completion of each assignment or upon the expiry of the term of the two-year contract in the case of
Jurong Port. Should our customers decide to use the cranes of our competitors or reduce their rental from
us, our revenue and financial performance will be adversely affected.
We are dependent on the level of activities in the construction, marine, logistics, oil and gas as
well as infrastructure industries in Singapore
For the Periods Under Review, we derived our revenue from our customers in Singapore. Our customers
are mainly in the construction, marine, logistics, oil and gas as well as infrastructure industries. Thus, the
demand for our cranes is dependent, to a large extent, on the level of business activities in these
industries in Singapore. The construction, marine, logistics, oil and gas as well as infrastructure industries
are cyclical in nature and the level of activities is dependent on a number of factors beyond our control. In
addition, we may not be able to predict the timing, extent or duration of such activity cycles of these
industries. Any decline in the businesses of these industries will have an adverse effect on our financial
performance. In addition, an economic downturn in Singapore may lead to a reduction in the demand for
cranes, and this would have an adverse impact on our revenue and financial performance.
30
RISK FACTORS
In addition, such fluctuations and volatility in the global credit markets could limit our current and potential
customers from borrowing funds from banks or financial institutions. Accordingly, such customers may not
be able to obtain sufficient financing to rent the cranes from our Group or we may be required to lower
our rental rates for our cranes in order to cater to the customers current situation. This may have an
adverse impact on our revenue and financial performance.
We may be affected by customers preference between purchasing and renting mobile cranes
As all our revenue is derived from the rental of cranes, our business performance and profitability may be
adversely affected by our customers preferences such as whether to purchase or rent the cranes
required for their projects. These preferences may change according to the market conditions, the general
availability of financing and the type of project which our customers require cranes for. In the event that
we have to lower the rental rates for our cranes to attract and retain our customers, our revenue and
financial performance will be adversely affected.
Our reputation may be adversely affected if there are major lapses in our lifting operations
We believe that we have established a reputation as a reliable supplier of mobile cranes in Singapore
since our incorporation in 1987. Over the years, we believe that we have built sufficient goodwill amongst
our customers. As such, if there is any lapse in services and disruption to our operations due to defects
and frequent breakdowns of our cranes, inability of our servicing and maintenance team to provide timely
service to our customers, malpractices and negligence by our crane operators or due to circumstances
which are beyond our control such as adverse publicity, our reputation will be adversely affected and we
will risk losing our customers confidence in renting our cranes. In any such event, our business and
financial performance will be adversely affected.
31
RISK FACTORS
We are reliant on skilled and foreign labour
We believe that we have established a reputation as a reliable supplier of mobile cranes in Singapore.
Our continued success is dependent on our ability to recruit and retain experienced and skilled crane
operators and support team comprising technicians, electricians and mechanics to provide maintenance
and repair support services. As there is a limited number of qualified personnel in the industry,
competition for experienced and skilled personnel is intense. In case of a shortage of such skilled labour,
we may have to increase their salaries in order to attract and retain their services which will result in an
increase in our cost of sales and operating expenses. In the event that we are not able to pass on the
increase in costs to our customers, our financial performance will be adversely affected. In FY2012,
FY2013 and FY2014, labour costs accounted for approximately 36.6%, 40.4% and 41.0% respectively, of
our cost of sales.
In addition, the availability of both skilled and unskilled foreign labour is subject to policies imposed by
MOM and the foreign affairs policies of the countries in which these foreign workers are domiciled. The
availability, requirements and cost of housing for such workers are also subject to government policies.
Any changes in such policies may affect the supply of foreign manpower and cause disruptions to our
operations which will result in an increase in our labour costs and may have a material adverse impact on
our financial performance. Please refer to the Government Regulations section of this Offer Document
for more details on regulations on employment of foreign workers in Singapore.
We may be subject to potential liability in the event of an accident resulting in property loss,
personal injury and/or death
Accidents which occur during lifting operations may result in damages to property, injury and/or deaths to
our employees or third parties. For instance, our mobile crane was involved in an accident at a jobsite at
Biopolis Drive/Biomedical Grove in June 2010, and another accident at one of the wharves located at
Jurong Port Terminal in November 2011. The first accident in June 2010 had led to legal dispute over
liability for damage caused by such accident. In the second accident, our Group was suspended from
providing lifting services at Jurong Port Terminal and Penjuru Lighter Terminal for six months as both
terminals are managed by Jurong Port. There were no fatalities in these two accidents. Please refer to the
Quality Assurance Safety Policy section of this Offer Document for further details. Although we have
sought protection against the risk of such liabilities by obtaining the necessary insurance coverage, we
believe that it is not possible for us to be fully insured against every conceivable risk that our Group might
be exposed to.
If any accidents are not covered by our insurance policies and claims arising from such accidents are in
excess of our insurance coverage or if any of our insurance claims are contested by any insurance
company, we may be required to pay for such compensation, which may have a material and adverse
impact on our financial performance. In addition, the payment by our insurers of such insurance claims
may result in increases in the premiums payable by us for our insurances. This will also increase the
costs of our operations and adversely affect our financial performance.
32
RISK FACTORS
Our insurance coverage may not be adequate
We currently maintain work injury compensation insurance, public liability insurance, machinery all-risk
insurance, motor vehicle insurance, fire insurance, general comprehensive liability insurance and keyman
insurance for our Executive Director and CEO, Jovan Yap. However, in the event that the amount of claims
exceeds the coverage of the insurance policies which we have taken up, we may be liable for shortfalls of
the amount claimed.
In addition, we may face the risk of loss or damage to our cranes and other equipment due to fire and
theft. Such events may cause a disruption or cessation in our operations. If such events were to occur,
and our loss is substantially higher than our insurance coverage, our business and financial performance
will be adversely affected. Please refer to the Insurance section of this Offer Document for further
details.
Purchases of mobile cranes accounted for a significant percentage of our total purchases for the
Periods Under Review
Since we commenced operations, we have maintained long standing relationships with a reliable group of
suppliers from whom we source our mobile cranes. Purchases of mobile cranes from three major
suppliers in aggregate accounted for approximately 5.2%, 70.1% and 63.7% of our total purchases in
FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 respectively. Our purchases from these major suppliers were for mobile
cranes which are known for their reliability and performance. Please refer to the Major Suppliers section
of this Offer Document for further details on our major suppliers.
As we generally do not have long term supply contracts with these major suppliers, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to secure new mobile cranes of good quality and at competitive prices. In
the event that we are not able to obtain good quality mobile cranes from our suppliers at competitive
prices, we may have to seek alternative sources from other suppliers at less favourable prices.
Accordingly, our operations and financial performance will be adversely affected.
RISK FACTORS
We face the risk of increases in fuel costs
The costs of fuel (in particular, diesel) for our cranes and prime movers accounted for a significant
proportion of our cost of sales. Fuel costs accounted for approximately 10.8%, 8.2% and 7.4% of our
Groups total cost of sales in FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014, respectively. Diesel prices have experienced
significant fluctuations in recent years, and are affected by factors that are beyond our control, such as
the supply and demand for crude oil, actions by the OPEC and other oil and gas producers, geopolitical
developments (including war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions) and environmental
concerns. An increase in diesel prices could lead to a corresponding increase in our cost of sales and
adversely affect our gross profit margin. In the event that we are unable to anticipate and react to such
price fluctuations, we may not be able to pass all increases in diesel costs to our customers and our
profitability may be adversely affected. While our rental rates are generally determined based on
prevailing market rates, any fluctuations in diesel prices tend to be industry-wide, and we may not always
be able to immediately pass on all increases in diesel costs to our customers. As a result, an increase in
diesel price will adversely affect our financial performance.
Changes in government budget, legislation, regulations or policies which affect the use of heavy
equipment will adversely affect our financial performance
As we derive all our revenue from rental of cranes in Singapore, any changes in government budget,
legislation, regulations or policies directly or indirectly affecting the use of heavy equipment in Singapore
may adversely affect our business operations and/or have a negative impact on the demand for our
cranes. In addition, compliance with changes in government legislation, regulations or policies may
increase our costs and any significant increase in compliance costs arising from such changes may
adversely affect our financial performance.
The operation and use of our cranes is subject to regulations and licensing requirements
Our business operations are regulated by various governmental bodies and authorities in Singapore as
disclosed in the Government Regulations section of this Offer Document. These governmental bodies
have imposed limits and restrictions on the number of years which our cranes are allowed to be used on
the construction sites and/or the worksites. Depending on certain working loads of the mobile cranes, the
maximum allowable service years of the cranes range between 20 years and 30 years, except for
requirements set out by HDB, which provide that the age of the cranes used at HDBs worksites must not
exceed 15 years from the date of manufacture. As such, new regulations or any changes to the licensing
requirements on the use and operations of cranes may have an adverse impact on our operations and
financial performance.
We are also required to obtain various licences and permits to carry out business. The licences and
permits are generally subject to conditions stipulated in such licences and permits and/or relevant laws
and regulations under which such licences and permits are issued. Failure to comply with such
conditions, laws or regulations could result in us being penalised or the revocation or non-renewal of the
relevant licence or permit. Accordingly, we have to constantly monitor and ensure our compliance with
34
RISK FACTORS
such conditions imposed, if any. Any failure to comply with such conditions may result in the revocation or
non-renewal of any of the licences and permits, which may impact our ability to carry out our business
and operations. As such, our business, results of operations and financial performance may be materially
and adversely affected.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected if we are
unable to compete successfully against our existing and potential competitors
The crane rental business is highly competitive and our success depends to a large extent on our ability
to compete effectively against other players within the industry and respond in an effective and timely
manner to cope with changing market conditions and trends. The key competitive factors include rental
rates, age of the cranes, track records and experience of the crane operators.
Our competitors may have greater financial and marketing resources, longer operating histories, bigger
client base, wider range of cranes, larger fleet of cranes or are better entrenched in the markets that we
operate in or intend to venture into. We may face price-cutting pressures from our competitors in their bid
to maintain or expand their market share. If we are unable to respond with appropriate measures, our
market share will decline and our profitability and financial performance will be adversely affected.
In addition, new competitors may enter the industry resulting in increased competition. This may result in
us losing our existing customers and not being able to secure new customers. There is no assurance that
we will be able to compete successfully in the future against our existing or potential competitors or that
our business, financial condition and results of operations will not be adversely affected by increased
competition. Please refer to the Competition section of this Offer Document for further details of our
competitors.
Our crane rental business is capital intensive and we may require additional funding for our future
growth
Our crane rental business is capital intensive due to the need to constantly renew or expand our fleet to
keep up with the requirements of our customers in the various industries. In addition, we have identified
our future growth plans as set out in the Business Strategies and Future Plans section of this Offer
Document. The proceeds from the Placement may not be sufficient to cover the estimated costs to
implement all these plans. Under such circumstance, we may need to obtain debt or equity financing to
fund our business and future growth. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional
financing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to do so, our future plans and
growth prospects may be adversely affected.
Additional debt and/or equity financing may result in dilution to our Shareholders. If such financing does
not generate a commensurate increase in earnings, our EPS will be diluted, and this could lead to a
decline in our Share price. Additional debt financing may, apart from increasing interest expense and
gearing, result in all or any of the following:
limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consent for the payment of dividends;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments of our
debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund capital expenditure, working capital
and other requirements; and/or
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.
35
RISK FACTORS
capital requirements. The success of our expansion plans depends on many factors, some of which are
not within our control. We may not be able to execute our expansion plans successfully, in which event
our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. Please refer to the
Business Strategies and Future Plans section of this Offer Document for more information on our future
plans.
We may make acquisitions which could put a strain on our resources, cause ownership dilution to
our Shareholders and adversely affect our financial performance
We may acquire businesses that complement our existing business. The entire acquisition process
involving, inter alia, identifying suitable targets, negotiations and due diligence can put a strain on our
resources and might not result in completion. Future acquisitions could also divert our managements
attention from other business concerns and may expose our business to unforeseen liabilities or risks
associated with entering new markets. We might also lose key employees while integrating with new
organisations. Consequently, the acquired business may not be successfully integrated and we may not
achieve the anticipated revenues and cost benefits. Future acquisitions could also result in lapses in
service, potential dilutive issuance of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities,
possible impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangible assets or other unanticipated events
or circumstances, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Investments in securities quoted on Catalist involve a higher degree of risk and can be less liquid
than shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST
We have made an application for our Shares to be admitted to Catalist, a listing platform primarily
designed for fast growing and emerging or smaller companies (to which a higher investment risk tends to
be attached as compared to larger or more established companies). An investment in shares quoted on
Catalist may carry a higher risk than an investment in shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST
and the future success and liquidity in the market for our Shares cannot be guaranteed. Pursuant to the
Catalist Rules, we are required to, among other things, retain a sponsor at all times after our admission to
Catalist. In particular, unless approved by the SGX-ST, the Sponsor must act as our continuing sponsor
for at least three years after the admission of our Company to Catalist. In addition, we may be delisted in
the event that we do not have a sponsor for more than three continuous months. There is no guarantee
that following the expiration of the three-year period, the Sponsor will continue to act as our sponsor or
that we will be able to find a replacement sponsor within the three-month period. Should such risks
materialise, we may be delisted.
Future sales or issuance of our Shares could materially and adversely affect our Share price
Any future sale or issuance of our Shares can have a downward pressure on our Share price. The sale of
a significant amount of Shares in the public market after the Placement, or the perception that such sales
may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Shares. These factors also affect our ability to
sell additional equity securities in future, at a time and price we deem appropriate. Except as otherwise
described in the Moratorium section of this Offer Document, there are no restrictions imposed on our
Substantial Shareholders in relation to disposal of their shareholdings. Our Share price may decline if
certain Shareholders sell their Shares upon the expiry of their moratorium periods.
36
RISK FACTORS
Our Controlling Shareholders and their Associates will retain significant shareholding control
over our Group after the Placement which will allow them to influence the outcome of matters
submitted to Shareholders for approval
Upon the completion of the Placement, our Controlling Shareholders, namely Yap Sian Lay and Ng Chui
Hwa, together with their children, namely Jovan Yap and Ivy Yap (who are also our Substantial
Shareholders) will collectively own approximately 73.5% of our Companys post-Placement share capital.
As a result, they will be able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring Shareholders
approval, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. They
will also effectively have veto power with respect to any Shareholders action or approval requiring a
majority vote except where they are required by the Catalist Rules or other applicable regulations to
abstain from voting. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, preventing or
deterring a change in control of our Group even if it may benefit the Shareholders.
We may issue Shares for additional funding for our future growth which will result in dilution to
our Shareholders
We may issue additional Shares after the Placement to raise the required capital to fund our future
growth. If new Shares placed to new and/or existing Shareholders are issued after the Placement, they
may be priced at a discount to the then prevailing market price of our Shares trading on Catalist, in which
case, existing Shareholders equity interest may be diluted. If we fail to utilise the new equity to generate
a commensurate increase in earnings, our EPS will be diluted and this could lead to a decline in our
Share price.
There is no prior market for our Shares and the Placement may not result in an active or liquid
market for our Shares
Prior to the Placement, there has been no public market for our Shares. Although we have made an
application to the SGX-ST to list our Shares on Catalist, there is no assurance that an active trading
market for our Shares will develop or if developed, be sustained after the Placement. There is also no
assurance that the market price of our Shares will not decline below the Placement Price. The Placement
Price may not be indicative of the market price of our Shares after the completion of the Placement.
Our Share price may fluctuate following the Placement which could result in substantial losses for
investors purchasing Shares in the Placement
The market price of our Shares may fluctuate significantly and rapidly in response to, inter alia, the
following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
(a)
(b)
(c)
changes in market valuations and share prices of companies with business similar to that of our
Group that may be listed in Singapore;
(d)
(e)
(f)
(g)
(h)
success or failure of our management in implementing business and growth strategies; and
(i)
changes in conditions affecting the industry, the general economic conditions or stock market
sentiments or other events or factors.
37
RISK FACTORS
For these reasons, among others, our Shares may trade at prices that are higher or lower than the NAV
per Share. In addition, our Shares are not capital-safe products and there is no guarantee that holders of
our Shares can realise a higher amount or even the principal amount of their investments.
New investors will incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution
Our Placement Price of 25.0 cents per Share is higher than our NAV per Share of 24.4 cents (based on
the NAV as referred to in the Dilution section of this Offer Document and as adjusted for the net
proceeds from the issue of New Shares). If we were liquidated immediately following the Placement, each
investor subscribing for and/or purchasing the Placement Shares would receive less than the price he
paid for the Shares. Please refer to the Dilution section of this Offer Document for further details.
Negative publicity may materially and adversely affect the price of our Shares
Negative publicity involving our Group or any of the Directors, Executive Officers or Substantial
Shareholders of our Company may materially and adversely affect the market perception or the share
performance of our Company, whether or not it is justified. Some examples are unsuccessful attempts in
joint ventures, take-overs or involvement in insolvency proceedings.
Foreign Shareholders may not be able to participate in future rights issues or certain other equity
issues of our Shares
In the event that we elect to conduct a rights issue or certain other equity issues, we may be subject to
regulatory procedures to be followed in making such rights available to our existing Shareholders or in
disposing of such rights for the benefit of such Shareholders and making the net proceeds available to
them. Accordingly, as a result of such regulatory constraints, foreign holders of our Shares may be unable
to participate in future offerings of our Shares and may experience dilution of their shareholdings as such.

(New Investors) exceeds the NAV per Share immediately after the Placement. Our audited NAV per
Share as at 30 April 2014 before adjusting for the estimated net proceeds from the issue of the New
Shares and based on our Companys pre-Placement share capital of 82,000,000 Shares, was 25.5 cents.

dilution in NAV per Share of 1.1 cents or 4.3% to our existing Shareholders and an immediate dilution in
NAV per Share of 0.6 cents or 2.4% to our New Investors.

The performance of the construction, marine, logistics, oil and gas as well as infrastructure
industries
Our customers are mainly from the construction, marine, logistics, oil and gas as well as
infrastructure industries. Accordingly, the demand for our cranes is dependent on the level of
activities in these industries. Some of these industries such as construction, marine as well as oil
and gas industries are highly cyclical in nature. A decline in the activities in these industries due to
factors such as changes in government regulations and general economic slowdown would
adversely impact the demand for our cranes and our revenue.

maintenance costs; (iv) subcontractors costs; (v) fuel costs; and (vi) other direct overheads.

parties and compensation we received in relation to our claims for the repair of damaged cranes.
Distribution expenses

advertising in the various media. Our distribution expenses are not significant and were less than $0.1
million for the Periods Under Review.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses comprise mainly staff-related expenses (including directors
remuneration and fees, staff salaries and bonuses, as well as CPF contributions), depreciation charges,
legal and professional fees, property taxes, land rent and subletting fees and other miscellaneous
administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were approximately 17.5%, 13.1% and

Our effective tax rate for FY2012 was higher than the statutory tax rate of 17.0% due to the recognition of
under provision of deferred tax liabilities in respect of previous years amounting to $0.2 million on taxable
temporary differences (mainly relates to differences in depreciation for tax purposes).
Our effective tax rate for FY2013 and FY2014 was lower than the statutory tax rate of 17.0% due to the
various tax incentives enjoyed by our Group (such as Corporate Income Tax Rebate, Partial Tax
Allowance and Productivity and Innovation Credit).
SEASONALITY
Generally, our business is not subject to any significant seasonal fluctuations. Nevertheless, our revenue
is subject to the cyclicality of our customers businesses. Historically, business activities have generally
been relatively lower during the end of the calendar year due mainly to the festive holidays such as
Christmas.
INFLATION
For the Periods Under Review, inflation did not have a material impact on our performance.

an increase in demand for our cranes which was fulfilled through an increase in the deployment of
our mobile cranes and rental of cranes from other suppliers;
(ii)
an increase in the average rental rates for the 50-tonne cranes, 250-tonne cranes and 350-tonne
cranes partially offset by the decrease in rental rates for 110-tonne cranes and 150-tonne cranes;
and
(iii)
an increase in revenue from mobile cranes which were deployed at the Penjuru Lighter Terminal
mainly for the loading and unloading of cargoes of our customers. Our revenue for such lifting
services was lower in FY2012 as we had to suspend operations at the terminal for a period of
about six months after the occurrence of an accident in November 2011. Please refer to the
Quality Assurance Safety Policy section of this Offer Document for more information.
53
54
an increase in other income by $0.8 million due to a gain on our disposal of the Robinson Square
Property and the Thomson Ridge Shophouse;

acquisition of the two new mobile cranes.

we had generated strong operating cash flows in FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 amounting to $5.3
million, $4.6 million and $5.4 million respectively;
(ii)
the outstanding obligations under finance leases and term loans were taken up mainly to finance
the acquisition of mobile cranes and leasehold properties for our business. We have not defaulted
on any of our financial obligations to any financial institutions and have not encountered any
liquidity issues that resulted in major disruptions to our operations;
(iii)
as at the Latest Practicable Date, we have cash and bank balances of approximately $1.7 million
and unutilised credit facilities of approximately $16.8 million, including available banking facilities of
$4.0 million for working capital purposes which have not been utilised; and
(iv)
our future plans as set out in the Prospects, Business Strategies and Future Plans section of this
Offer Document will be partially funded by the net proceeds from the Placement and the extent and
timing of the future plans can be managed based on the amount raised from the Placement.
Taking into account the factors above, our Directors are of the reasonable opinion that, after taking into
consideration the cash flows generated from operating activities, together with our existing cash and bank
balances and credit facilities from financial institutions, we have sufficient working capital available as at
the date of lodgement of this Offer Document to meet our present requirements and for at least 12
months after the listing of our Company on Catalist.
The Sponsor and Issue Manager is of the reasonable opinion that, after having made due and careful
enquiry and after taking into consideration the cash flows generated from operating activities, together

capital available to our Group as at the date of lodgement of this Offer Document is sufficient for its
present requirements and for at least 12 months after the listing of our Company on Catalist.

The cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances net of bank deposits pledged.
FY2012
We generated net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital of $5.4 million. Net
cash generated from working capital amounted to $0.7 million due mainly to a decrease in trade and
other receivables of $0.4 million and an increase in trade and other payables of $0.9 million, partially
offset by a decrease in accrued operating expenses of $0.6 million. We also paid interest expenses of
$0.7 million and income tax of $0.1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $0.8 million due mainly to progressive payment of $0.8
million for the Robinson Square Property and deposit paid for the Thomson Ridge Shophouse amounting
to $0.2 million, partially offset by a fixed deposit of $0.2 million which had matured.
Net cash used in financing activities of $2.8 million was due mainly to the repayment of bank borrowings
of $0.7 million and finance leases of $2.1 million.
FY2013
We generated net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital of $7.4 million. Net
cash used in working capital amounted to $1.9 million due mainly to increase in trade and other
receivables of $1.4 million in line with the increase in business activities and a decrease in accrued
operating expenses of $0.5 million. We also paid interest expenses of $0.5 million and income tax of $0.4
million.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $4.3 million. This was attributable to the payment of the
balance consideration of $2.6 million for the Thomson Ridge Shophouse, purchase of property, plant and
equipment of $2.5 million (mainly mobile cranes, trailers and prime movers and payment of deposit for the
Pandan Road Property) and investment in an associated company of $0.6 million, partially offset by
proceeds from disposal of mobile cranes of $1.4 million.
Net cash used in financing activities of $3.3 million was due mainly to the repayment of bank borrowings
of $0.8 million and finance leases of $2.4 million and bank deposit pledged of $0.1 million (as security for
our operations at Penjuru Lighter Terminal).

HISTORY
OUR HISTORY
The origins of our business could be traced back to the 1960s when the late Yap Lian Loke, the father of
Yap Sian Lay, founded Moh Seng and Company and started the business of renting mobile cranes to
customers for loading and unloading of cargoes along the Singapore River. In the initial years, Moh Seng
and Company operated its business with one to two mobile cranes. By 1970s, Moh Seng and Company
had grown its mobile crane fleet to around six mobile cranes. Our Controlling Shareholder and Executive
Officer, Yap Sian Lay, succeeded his father in the business of Moh Seng and Company around 1976 after
the latters demise. By 1980s, the business had expanded its fleet to around ten mobile cranes.
Our principal subsidiary, MS Cranes, was incorporated in June 1987 by Yap Sian Lay (our Controlling
Shareholder and Executive Officer) and his wife, Ng Chui Hwa (our Executive Chairman), to corporatise
the crane rental business of Moh Seng and Company, a partnership which was owned by them.
By 1987 when our subsidiary, MS Cranes, was incorporated, it was actively providing mobile crane rental
services to customers operating in the port industry. At the same time, with strong economic growth and
rapid development in Singapore, Yap Sian Lay and Ng Chui Hwa recognised the potential demand for
mobile cranes with larger lifting capacities to serve the construction industry. To capitalise on the growth
in demand from the construction industry, our Group started acquiring hydraulic mobile cranes of higher
lifting capacities of around 50 tonnes and expanded our services to the construction industry in the next
ten years.
In 1995, we acquired the Gul Drive Property with a land area of approximately 4,900 sqm to house our
growing fleet of mobile cranes with higher tonnages.
Around 1997, the construction industry in Singapore started to decline due to the Asian financial crisis. To
diversify our business, we began to explore other sectors for growth opportunities. Since then, we have
expanded our mobile crane rental services to include customers in the logistics and the oil and gas
industries. Customers in these industries generally require mobile cranes of higher lifting capacities. To
serve the requirements of these customers, we expanded our fleet to include mobile cranes with lifting
capacities of up to 180 tonnes.
In 2001, as part of the succession plan, the third generation of the Yap family, Jovan Yap, who is the son
of Yap Sian Lay and Ng Chui Hwa, joined our Group. He started his career in MS Cranes as a crane
attendant and progressed to assume various junior and subsequently senior positions within our Group.
In 2012, Jovan Yap was appointed as the managing director to oversee the entire business of our Group
and is currently our CEO.
In 2004, we provided mobile cranes to a multinational corporation in the oil and gas industry for the lifting
of one of its subsea structures used in oil and gas exploration. Securing this heavy lift assignment from
an established oil and gas company was a testament to our Groups capabilities, reliability and safety
track record.
In 2007, we acquired a 250-tonne mobile crane to support the growing demand for mobile cranes with
higher lifting capacity to handle the logistics at the ports and for erection and dismantling of tower cranes
at construction sites.
In July 2007, our subsidiary, MS Services, was incorporated to provide mobile crane rental services
mainly to stevedoring companies at the Penjuru Lighter Terminal. The mobile cranes deployed by MS
Services are of lower lifting capacity of 25 tonnes and are mainly used for loading and unloading of ship
supplies.
In 2010, our Executive Director and CEO, Jovan Yap, saw the potential demand from the construction and
infrastructure industries for 350-tonne mobile cranes which incorporated the latest technology. Most
mobile cranes commonly available in the local market then were either of 300 tonnes or 500 tonnes lifting
capacity. 350-tonne mobile cranes thus provided higher lifting capacities to serve the requirements of the
customers compared to 300-tonne mobile cranes but have a smaller footprint compared to 500-tonne
mobile cranes which made the 350-tonne mobile cranes suitable for most worksites which faced space
constraints.
71
HISTORY
In 2011, we acquired a 500-tonne mobile crane to extend the range of mobile cranes in our fleet and
increase our lifting capacities. This enabled us to secure an assignment to supply mobile cranes to a
customer who was involved in a MRT station construction project. These higher tonnage cranes also
enabled us to meet the demand from customers in the construction industry for the erection and
dismantling of larger tower cranes which are used in the construction of taller buildings.
In 2013, to accommodate an expanded fleet of mobile cranes with higher tonnages, we acquired the
Pandan Road Property with a land area of approximately 8,000 sqm, as our new headquarters and to
house our growing fleet of cranes, equipment and machinery.
In 2013, we entered into a shareholders agreement with a third party, GKE Corporation Limited, to set up
GMS JV in which we hold a 40.0% shareholding interest. GKE Corporation Limited is listed on Catalist
and is principally engaged in the provision of logistics services. GMS JV was set up with a view to offer
mobile crane rental services as part of a comprehensive package of services to potential customers in
the logistics industry.
In 2014, we acquired a Liebherr 750-tonne mobile crane to meet the requirements of customers involved
in a MRT construction project. This crane is used mainly to lift and move tunnel boring equipment used in
MRT tunnel construction. This 750-tonne mobile crane enables us to extend our reach to access more
opportunities for assignments in the infrastructure industry that require mobile cranes with higher lifting
capacity.
We incorporated MS Equipment in May 2014 with the intention to broaden our scope of business to
include mobile crane trading which we believe is complementary to our mobile crane rental business.
Please refer to the Prospects, Business Strategies and Future Plans section of this Offer Document for
more information.
On 15 September 2014, YSL, an investment company which is wholly owned by Yap Sian Lay (our
Controlling Shareholder and Executive Officer) and his wife, Ng Chui Hwa (our Executive Chairman) in

cranes with lifting capacities ranging from 25 tonnes to 750 tonnes supported by a fleet of 5 lorry cranes
with lifting capacities ranging from 10 tonnes to 75 tonnes, 13 prime movers and more than 35 trailers.
Our Company was incorporated in Singapore under the Companies Act on 21 May 2014 under the name
of MS Holdings Private Limited as a private company limited by shares. In preparation for our listing, we
undertook the Restructuring Exercise whereby our Company acquired the entire shareholding interests in
MS Cranes, MS Services and MS Equipment respectively to become the holding company of our Group.
On 23 October 2014, our Company was converted to a public company limited by shares with our name
being changed to MS Holdings Limited. Please refer to the Restructuring Exercise section of this Offer
Document for further details.

BUSINESS
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are one of the leading crane rental companies in Singapore. We focus on providing mobile cranes
and lorry cranes as they can be deployed easily and have short set-up time due to their ability to travel on
roads thus eliminating the need for special equipment to transport them to jobsites. We own a fleet of
modern cranes which can be deployed in a wide range of lifting operations. Due to the nature of heavy lift
assignments where safety and reliability are important considerations of our customers, we generally
procure new mobile cranes from reputable and established brands, such as Liebherr and Tadano, as they
provide high performance mobile cranes with better functionalities for the crane systems.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have a fleet of 25 mobile cranes with lifting capacities ranging from
25 tonnes to 750 tonnes and a fleet of 5 lorry cranes with lifting capacities ranging from 10 tonnes to 75
tonnes. With the addition of a Liebherr brand of mobile crane with a lifting capacity of 750 tonnes to our
fleet, we are able to secure heavy lift assignments from customers who are involved in infrastructure
projects such as the construction of MRT lines. From time to time, we may also rent mobile cranes from
other suppliers to meet the requirements of our customers.
We also own a fleet of hauling equipment comprising 13 prime movers and more than 35 trailers to
support our operations as at the Latest Practicable Date. These trailers and prime movers are mainly
used to transport accessories of the mobile cranes, such as jibs, counterweights, sheaves and hooks.
We derive our revenue from the rental of cranes to our customers in Singapore. We have a wide
customer base of over 350 customers, mainly from the construction, marine, logistics, oil and gas as well
as infrastructure industries. This strategy of building and maintaining a well-diversified customer base
ensures that we are not overly reliant on any particular customer or particular business sector. In FY2014,
sales to repeat customers accounted for more than 80.0% of our Groups revenue.
Our Rental Business
We typically rent our cranes to customers on a daily basis or short term basis as this would increase the
flexibility of deploying our cranes and thus enable us to optimise the utilisation of our fleet. Generally, the
minimum rental period for our cranes is four hours, and our cranes can be rented for a longer duration
ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the needs of our customers. In March 2013, we
entered into a two-year contract with Jurong Port for the supply of two mobile cranes which are deployed
at the Penjuru Lighter Terminal mainly for the loading and unloading of ship supplies. Our cranes are
typically on wet hire to customers which includes the provision of a crane operator.
Our customers deploy our cranes for a wide range of uses. For example, our cranes may be deployed at
construction sites for lifting general construction materials and erection and dismantling of tower cranes
for customers in the construction industry. Such customers are generally contractors involved in building
construction or suppliers of equipment or services to the building construction sector. Customers in the
marine and logistics industries generally use our mobile cranes for loading and unloading of cargoes from
vessels to transportation vehicles, and vice versa. Customers operating in the marine industry include
those providing port facilities and services, shipbuilding services and stevedores, whereas customers
operating in the logistics industry are generally providing transportation and warehousing services.
Customers in the oil and gas industry are generally suppliers of equipment and process modules for use
in offshore oil and gas exploration, which may use our mobile cranes to undertake installation and
assembly of oil and gas structures and equipment. Customers in the infrastructure industry may use our
cranes to lift and move heavy equipment such as the tunnel boring equipment used in the construction of
MRT tunnels.

BUSINESS
Mobile cranes and lorry cranes are capable of travelling on roads thus eliminating the need for special
equipment to transport the cranes to the jobsite. When working on jobsites, outriggers are extended from
the chassis of the crane to increase stability during lifting. In addition, mobile cranes have removable
counterweights for additional stability. Mobile cranes generally have more even weight distribution, thereby
rendering enhanced road-going performance and enabling lifting from multiple positions. Mobile cranes
are also fitted with versatile steering capability to allow maneuvering of their extended chassis with ease.

Our Fleet Renewal Strategy and Mobile Crane Trading
Our Group continually monitors the market for cranes to identify acquisition opportunities. Before
acquiring any cranes, we will assess the development and outlook of the market for the particular type of
cranes and analyse, among other things, the value and earnings potential of the cranes and investment
timeframe for recouping the investments.
Due to the nature of heavy lift assignments where safety and reliability are important considerations of
our customers, we generally procure new cranes from reputable and established brands. These
manufacturers provide high performance cranes with better functionalities for the crane systems. When
we use such cranes to provide crane rental services to our customers, it will provide them with better
assurance of our service delivery.
We review the composition of our fleet of cranes regularly to ensure that our cranes continue to meet our
customers requirements and to monitor our operational needs against repair and maintenance costs. In
order to maintain the reliability and safety track record of our cranes and to minimise or reduce
expenditure on major repair and maintenance works, we may dispose of older cranes and replace them
with newer ones. We have a relatively young fleet of mobile cranes with an average age of approximately
eight years as at the Latest Practicable Date. With this fleet renewal strategy, we are able to ensure our
cranes remain efficient and able to consistently deliver reliable service to our customers.
Further, we intend to develop our mobile crane trading business as we believe that it is complementary to
our crane rental business and supports our fleet renewal strategy. Please refer to the Prospects,
Business Strategies and Future Plans section of this Offer Document for further details.
SALES AND MARKETING
Our sales and marketing efforts are spearheaded by our Executive Director and CEO, Jovan Yap, who is
assisted by our sales team comprising three sales managers.
Our sales team is responsible for establishing and maintaining our customer relationships and securing
orders from customers. Through regular contact, our customers provide us with valuable feedback on
industry trends and developments as well as their requirements. We also update customers on our fleet
such as information on newly acquired cranes and their capabilities. We place strong emphasis on
understanding the requirements of our customers and consistently providing them with reliable cranes
that meet their requirements. Based on our understanding of the customers requirements, we may also
recommend the appropriate cranes for their intended lifting operations.
We typically do not enter into long term contracts with our customers, save for Jurong Port. For customers
in the construction industry or other industries with projects which would be completed over several
months or more than a year and who may periodically require cranes for their lifting operations, our sales
team would maintain regular contact with these customers to keep apprised of the progress of the
projects. We believe that this allows us to follow up with our customers on their requirements at various
stages of their projects, which enhances our chances of securing repeat orders from these customers
and enables us to plan the deployment of our fleet.

BUSINESS
Our management meets with our sales team regularly to review our sales performance and marketing
strategies and targets. These regular meetings also allow our sales team to highlight issues or problems
that they encounter to our management and discuss strategies to resolve these issues or problems in a
timely manner.
As part of our corporate branding exercise, we have adopted a new corporate colour theme comprising
mainly green and grey which we have applied across our corporate identity materials and our mobile
cranes. With the adoption of the new colour theme, our green and grey cranes stand out from afar
compared to the traditionally yellow-coloured cranes of our competitors.
We also participate in corporate events and awards to recognise and commend the outstanding
performance of individuals such as the Successful Entrepreneur Award (2011) organised by GRC Press
Holdings, the Entrepreneur of the Year Award (2012) jointly organised by the Association of Small and
Medium Enterprises and the Rotary Club of Singapore, and the Spirit of Enterprise Award (2013)
organised by Spirit of Enterprise to raise our corporate profile and at the same time, increase the visibility
of our corporate brand amongst the corporate community, which in turn serve to market and promote our
Group and our service offering to existing and new customers. Our Executive Director and CEO, Jovan
Yap, was a recipient of each of the three awards mentioned above.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
The origins of our Group can be traced back to more than 50 years ago when the father of our
Controlling Shareholder and Executive Officer, Yap Sian Lay, founded Moh Seng and Company and
started the crane rental business in the 1960s. We believe that we have established a reputation as a
reliable supplier of cranes in Singapore in the last few decades. We place strong emphasis on safety and
efficiency of our fleet of cranes. This is achieved through regular maintenance and inspection of our
cranes at our service yards as well as on the jobsites and compliance with various safety standards and
regulations. Our fleet maintenance program as well as compliance with various safety standards and
regulations are incorporated in our comprehensive Workplace Safety and Health Management System.
Maintenance
We have implemented a stringent quality control program in order to provide a level of service that meets
our customers requirements. In particular, we have in place a fleet maintenance program for the proper
upkeep of our cranes and lifting equipment such as lifting gears. The fleet maintenance program
emphasises the importance of preventive maintenance and lays down a set of guidelines as follows:
Pre-lift Inspection
Our cranes and lifting equipment will be subject to visual inspection by a competent person before each
lifting operation. This is to ensure that the crane is suitable, safe and correctly installed for the lifting
operation. Pre-lift inspection includes:
BUSINESS
Safety Policy
Due to the nature of our crane operations, accidents or other incidents during lifting operations may occur
from time to time due to various factors, some of which may be beyond our control. In particular, in
November 2011, one of our Groups mobile cranes deployed at the Jurong Port Terminal toppled and was
damaged while in operation due to the oversight of the crane operator. Consequently, our Groups
operations at Jurong Port Terminal and Penjuru Lighter Terminal were suspended for a period of six
months from November 2011 as both terminals are managed by Jurong Port. Other than the aforesaid
suspension, there was no other penalty suffered by our Group.
In addition, in June 2010 one of our mobile cranes was involved in an accident at a jobsite at Biopolis
Drive/Biomedical Grove where the mobile crane had collapsed into a concealed manhole. After the
occurrence of the accident, we commenced legal action to claim for damages which included the cost of
repair, loss of use and legal costs, from which we received a total compensation of $789,650. Of the total
compensation, $386,838 was recognised during the year immediately preceding the Periods Under
Review with the balance recognised in FY2014.
To prevent the occurrence of such incidents during lifting operations, we had appointed an independent
third party to undertake a review of our Workplace Safety and Health Management System and
implemented additional measures and safe work procedures for our operations, including:
(a)
(b)
implementing an in-house orientation program and assessment program for all newly hired crane
operators;
80
BUSINESS
(c)
implementing pre-lift meetings for the crane operator and lifting team to ensure that the crane
operator has a better understanding of the intended load to be lifted, the effective radius of the
mobile crane and the distance of the load;
(d)
establishing an emergency response procedure and communicating such procedure to all crane
operators;
(e)
establishing a checklist for the monthly workplace safety and health inspection conducted by our
top management; and
(f)
appointing an employee who has obtained an advanced certificate in workplace safety and health
from the BCA to oversee and ensure compliance with the workplace safety and health regulations
and requirements.

We have a wide customer base comprising over 350 customers in Singapore mainly from the
construction, marine, logistics, oil and gas as well as infrastructure industries. Our wide customer base
ensures that we are not reliant on any particular customer or business sector.
Save for Jurong Port, we do not have long term contracts with our customers and we generally rent our
cranes to customers on a daily or short term basis. The level of business transactions with any customer
depends primarily on factors such as the level of business activities of the customer, availability of our
cranes, our rental rates, business relationship as well as payment track record of the customer. As a
result, the revenue received from individual customers differs from year to year as we may not receive
orders which are similar in size or nature from the same customers each year.
In March 2013, we commenced the provision of services to Jurong Port for the supply of two mobile
cranes deployed at the Penjuru Lighter Terminal mainly for the loading and unloading of ship supplies for
two years. As such, revenue contribution from Jurong Port increased in FY2014.
Manta Equipment is principally engaged in the business of the supply of tower cranes, serving primarily
the construction and infrastructure sectors. We supply our cranes to Manta Equipment mainly for the
erection and dismantling of tower cranes used in construction activities.

To the best of their knowledge, our Directors 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.
As at the date of this Offer Document, none of our Directors, Substantial Shareholders or their respective
Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of the above major customers.

Our purchase decisions are driven primarily by factors such as our business relationships with the
suppliers, the price, quality and delivery schedules of products and services supplied. Our decisions to
acquire cranes are driven mainly by our fleet renewal strategy. Please refer to the Business Overview
Our Fleet Renewal Strategy and Mobile Crane Trading section of this Offer Document for further
information.
We typically obtain quotes from several suppliers to assist in our purchase decisions. Our Directors
believe that our business and profitability will not be materially affected by the loss of any single supplier
or on any particular industrial, commercial or financial contract with any supplier as we are able to source
for most products or services of comparable quality from alternative suppliers. We generally do not enter
into long term or exclusive agreements with any of our major suppliers.
Purchases from Liebherr, Mobile Cranes Asia and Multico Equipment accounted for a significant
percentage of our purchases in FY2013 and FY2014 due mainly to the acquisition of two 110-tonne
cranes, one 160-tonne crane, one 200-tonne crane and one 250-tonne crane in FY2013 and one 750tonne crane in FY2014 as part of our fleet renewal strategy. Acquisition of cranes in any particular
financial year would account for a significant proportion of our total purchases as the value of cranes is
relatively large compared to the value of other purchases such as spare parts, tools and materials,
insurance as well as diesel.
The amount of our purchases of diesel from Kim Tiong increased in FY2013 and FY2014. However, these
amounts as a percentage of our total purchases declined in FY2013 and FY2014 due to the overall
increase in the value of our total purchases for each of FY2013 and FY2014.
The amount of our purchases of diesel from Mecpec increased in FY2013 but the amount of purchases
as a percentage of our total purchases declined in FY2013 due to the overall increase in the value of our
total purchases. Our purchases from Mecpec declined in FY2014 as we were able to secure better prices
for diesel from other suppliers.
Our purchases from Victor Enterprises declined in FY2013 and FY2014 as we were able to secure better
prices for diesel from other suppliers.
The amount of our purchases of vehicle insurance from Times Insurance remained similar during the
Periods Under Review. However, these amounts as a percentage of our total purchases declined in
FY2013 and FY2014 due to the overall increase in the value of our total purchases for each of FY2013
and FY2014.
S.M.S. Stevedoring provided us with lifting crew, such as lifting supervisors, signallers and riggers, in
FY2012, but we ceased using their services after FY2012 as we engaged another service provider due
to, inter alia, pricing considerations.
Save as disclosed above, there is no other supplier who accounted for 5.0% or more of our purchases
during the Periods Under Review.
To the best of their knowledge, our Directors 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.
As at the date of this Offer Document, none of our Directors, Substantial Shareholders or their respective
Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of the above major suppliers.
There are no arrangements or understanding with any major supplier pursuant to which any of our
Directors or Executive Officers were appointed.

CREDIT POLICY AND MANAGEMENT
Credit Terms to Our Customers
We typically extend credit terms of 30 days to our customers. However, the credit limit for each customer
may vary from customer to customer, depending on factors such as their payment track record, financial
background, length of business relationship as well as frequency and size of transaction. The credit terms
and changes to the credit terms are proposed by our sales staff and approved by our Executive Director
and CEO, Jovan Yap. New customers may be required to pay cash in advance or in cash terms.
Our finance and sales staff monitor the payment status of our customers closely and follow up with
customers on overdue payments. Periodic reports on status of collection will also be provided to our
Executive Directors, at least on a monthly basis.
Our average trade receivables turnover for the Periods Under Review was as follows:

Note:

Average trade receivables turnover (days) = (Average trade receivables / revenue) x 365 days.
Our average trade receivables turnover for the Periods Under Review was longer than 30 days as our
customers in the construction industry generally require a longer repayment period which is in line with
the trend in the construction industry. As at 31 August 2014, approximately 95.6% of the trade receivables
outstanding as at 30 April 2014 have been collected.
Allowance for impairment of trade receivables is made when the collectability of an outstanding debt is in
doubt. Allowance for impairment of trade receivables will usually be assessed and made on a case-bycase basis, depending on the creditworthiness of the customers at the relevant time.
Our allowance for impairment of trade receivables as well as bad debts written off for the Periods Under

not settled the outstanding amounts. We have continued our working relationship with those customers
who were able to settle the outstanding balances and have shown improvement in the timeliness of their
payments.
Credit Terms from Our Suppliers
Most of our suppliers are located in Singapore. We typically finance the purchase of mobile cranes, lorry
cranes, prime movers, trailers and other machineries through hire purchase arrangements. Purchases of

BUSINESS
COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
We believe the following to be our competitive strengths:
We have an established track record in mobile crane rental business
The origins of our business can be traced back to more than 50 years ago when Moh Seng and
Company was founded in the 1960s by the father of our Controlling Shareholder and Executive Officer,
Yap Sian Lay. We believe that we have established a reputation as a reliable supplier of cranes in
Singapore in the last few decades for customers in various industries in Singapore. This is achieved
through strong emphasis on safety, efficiency as well as maintaining a high level of responsiveness to our
customers requirements. We have obtained the OHSAS18001:2007 for our occupational health and
safety management system since 2008 and the bizSAFE Level STAR certificate issued by the WSH
under the MOM since 2011. We have a team of experienced crane operators and technicians who ensure
that lifting operations are completed safely and any technical issues encountered can be resolved in a
timely manner. We are an Approved Crane Contractor and four of our employees are registered as
Approved Crane Erector with the MOM under the Workplace Safety and Health (Operation of Cranes)
Regulations 2011. Further, we believe that our business model of renting cranes to customers on a daily
instead of long term basis enables us to deploy our cranes at short notices and maintain a high level of
responsiveness to our customers requirements.
We maintain a relatively new fleet of cranes of various tonnages
As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have a fleet of 25 mobile cranes with lifting capacities ranging from
25 tonnes to 750 tonnes and 5 lorry cranes with lifting capacities ranging from 10 tonnes to 75 tonnes. As
at the Latest Practicable Date, the average age of our mobile cranes is eight years. From time to time, we
also rent cranes from other suppliers to meet the increase in customers demand. Our strategy is to build
a fleet of cranes through selective acquisition taking into account industry trends and feedback from
customers. We periodically upgrade and renew our fleet to ensure that we have access to cranes with
newer technology and capabilities to keep up with the needs of our customers. By maintaining a young
and modern fleet, we are able to serve a wide range of customers who may have stringent requirements
(such as working at HDBs sites) on the age and safety features of cranes which will enhance our chance
of securing orders from customers.
We supply our cranes to a wide customer base for short term rental which enables us to optimise
the utilisation for our cranes
We have built a wide customer base of over 350 customers in Singapore in the construction, marine,
logistics, oil and gas as well as infrastructure industries. These customers include local small and medium
enterprises as well as multi-national corporations with operations in Singapore. This strategy of building
and maintaining a well-diversified customer base ensures that we are not overly reliant on any particular
customer. We believe it has also increased the resilience of our operations and is an effective strategy in
managing our business risks.
In addition, we typically rent our cranes to customers on daily or a short term basis instead of signing
long term leases as we believe that the rates for short term rental will reflect the immediate supply and
demand conditions for the particular type of cranes. While renting out cranes on a daily or short term
basis may increase our exposure to short term market fluctuation in rental rates, it allows our Group to
capitalise on short term increase in rental rates and enables us to optimise the utilisation of our fleet of
cranes.

Rental rates for cranes have generally declined in FY2014 but are expected to remain stable in
FY2015 in view of the sustained demand from the construction and the infrastructure industries. In
addition, more stringent safety regulations for crane operations with prescribed spare lifting
capacity for the anticipated loads have led to higher demand for cranes with higher lifting
capacities;
(b)
Costs of labour are expected to increase due to competition for a relatively limited pool of skilled
crane operators and higher foreign workers levies;
(c)
Finance costs are expected to increase due to the substantial increase in bank borrowings and
obligations under finance leases to finance the acquisition of the Pandan Road Property, a 750tonne crane in FY2014 and two mobile cranes in FY2015; and
(d)
Administrative expenses are expected to increase due mainly to expenses incurred in connection
with the Placement. In accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, only a
portion of such expenses may be capitalised while the balance will be treated as expenses in our
statement of comprehensive income.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
We have identified the main laws and regulations (apart from those pertaining to general business
requirements) that materially affect our operations and the relevant bodies in Singapore. Details of these
laws and regulations are set out below:
Workplace and Health Safety Measures
Under the MOMs Workplace Safety and Health Act (Chapter 354A) (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,
organisation, 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 WSHA has been revised to include, from 1 September 2011, amongst others:
(a)
Imposing duties on the employer, to ensure that the employee has the necessary expertise for the
work that he is engaged for and implemented adequate safety and health measures;
(b)
Creating a new offence for persons at work who did a negligent act without reasonable cause; and
(c)
Broadening the definition of an occupational disease to include any disease directly attributable to
any exposure to any chemical or biological agent.
hoist or lift;
lifting gears; and
lifting appliances and lifting machines.
Upon examination, the Authorised Examiner will issue and sign a certificate of test and examination,
specifying the safe working load of the equipment. Such certificate of test and examination shall be kept
available for inspection. Under the WSHR, it is the duty of the owner of the equipment / occupier of the
factory to ensure that the equipment complies with the provisions of the WSHR and to keep a register
containing the requisite particulars with respect to the lifting gears, lifting appliances and lifting machines.
In addition to the above, under the WSHA, inspectors appointed by the CWSH may, amongst others,
enter, inspect and examine any workplace and any machinery, equipment, plant, installation or article at
any workplace, to make such examination and inquiry as may be necessary to ascertain whether the
provisions of the WSHA are complied with, to take samples of any material or substance found in a
workplace or being discharged from any workplace for the purpose of analysis or test, to assess the
levels of noise, illumination, heat or harmful or hazardous substances in any workplace and the exposure
levels of persons at work therein and to take into custody any article in the workplace which is required
for the purpose of an investigation or inquiry under the WSHA.
96
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Furthermore, the owner of a crane shall ensure that the crane is of good construction, sound material
and adequate strength, free from patent defects, and properly maintained. Where the capacity of the
crane used in a worksite is variable, a capacity chart which sets out the safe loads for various lengths of
the job at various angles and radial distances shall be provided. Before any crane is put into service for
the first time in the worksite, the crane shall also be thoroughly examined and inspected by a competent
person and that such examination and test is conducted by an authorised examiner. The operator of a
crane shall take such measures as are necessary to ensure that a suspended load is not moved over any
person in the worksite and shall ensure that no load is left suspended on the crane when it is not in use.
Under the WSHA, the CWSH may issue a stop-work order in respect of a workplace if he is satisfied that
(i) the workplace is in such condition, or is so located, or any part of the machinery, equipment, plant or
article in the workplace is so used, that any process or work carried on in the workplace cannot be
carried on with due regard to the safety, health and welfare of persons at work; (ii) any person has
contravened any duty imposed by the WSHA; or (iii) any person has done any act, or has refrained from
doing any act which, in the opinion of the CWSH, poses or is likely to pose a risk to the safety, health and
welfare of persons at work. The stop-work order shall direct the person served with the order to
immediately cease to carry on any work indefinitely or until such measures as are required by the CWSH
have been taken to remedy any danger so as to enable the work in the workplace to be carried on with
due regard to the safety, health and welfare of the persons at work.
Workplace Safety and Health (Operation of Cranes) Regulations 2011 (WSHR Crane
Regulations)
More specific duties imposed on a registered crane operator are set out in Regulation 16 of the WSHR
Crane Regulations.
Pursuant to the WSHR Crane Regulations, only registered crane operators are allowed to operate a
mobile or tower crane (Cranes) in a workplace. A person who intends to operate Cranes will be
required to apply to the Commissioner for Workplace Safety and Health (Commissioner) for approval to
register as a crane operator, which requirements include:
(a)
the successful completion of a training course acceptable to the Commissioner on the operation of
a mobile crane or tower crane;
(b)
in the opinion of the Commissioner, having sufficient experience in operating a mobile crane or
tower crane and having passed a proficiency test acceptable to the Commissioner; or
(c)
In addition to the above, the Commissioner may require the applicant to produce a current medical
certificate from a registered medical practitioner which certifies that the applicant is medically fit to
operate a mobile crane or tower crane. Once the Commissioner has approved the application to register
as a crane operator, the certificate of registration will be valid for a period of two years from the date of
registration or for a shorter period as the Commissioner may specify.
Under the WSHR Crane Regulations, any registered crane operator may be required to produce his
certificate of registration for inspection by inspectors appointed by the Commissioner. The Commissioner
may suspend or cancel the registration of any registered crane operator if the Commissioner is satisfied
that the registered crane operator has (i) obtained his registration under the WSHR Crane Regulations by
means of fraud, false representation or the concealment of any material fraud; (ii) has been certified by a
registered medical practitioner to be unfit to operate a mobile crane or a tower crane; or (iii) has failed to
comply with any of the duties set out in the WSHR Crane Regulations.
97
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Similarly, crane contractors must be approved by the Commissioner to carry out installation, repair,
alteration and dismantling of Cranes (Operations). Upon successful application, the applicant receives
a certificate of approval which is valid for two years from the date of approval. Crane contractors must
ensure that the Operations are carried out in accordance with a manufacturers manual which contains
instructions on safe procedures for such operations, or where such manual is unavailable, ensure that the
Operations are carried out under the immediate supervision of an authorised examiner. The said cranes
cannot be used unless they have been tested and certified safe by an authorised examiner for the
operations for which they are intended.
Service Lifespan of Mobile Cranes
For cranes with lifting capacities of 50 tonnes and below, the maximum service lifespan from the
date of manufacture will be 20 years;
(b)
For cranes with lifting capacities above 50 tonnes but not more than 100 tonnes, the maximum
service lifespan from the date of manufacture will be 25 years; and
(c)
For cranes with lifting capacities of 100 tonnes and above, the maximum service lifespan from the
date of manufacture will be 30 years.
be liable on conviction to a fine of not less than $5,000 and not more than $30,000 or to
imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both; and
(b)

than $30,000 and with imprisonment for a term of not less than one month and not more
than 12 months; or
(ii)
in any other case, be punished with a fine of not less than $20,000 and not more than
$60,000.
98
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
The availability of the foreign workers to the construction industry is also regulated by the MOM through
the imposition of the following conditions and requirements:
(a)
Type of Workers
Malaysia
Note :
(1)
Employers who fail to ensure that their workers take and pass the Construction Safety Orientation Course will be
barred from applying for new work permits for three months while the affected workers will have their work permits
revoked.
In respect of construction workers from NTS countries and the PRC, basic skilled workers are
allowed to work up to a maximum of 10 years, while higher skilled workers would be allowed to
work up to a maximum of 22 years. A transition period of up to 31 December 2015 is given to
employers to upgrade their workers from basic skilled to higher skilled. There is no maximum
period of employment for workers from Malaysia or NAS countries. These workers can work up to
60 years old.
99
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
(b)

550
700
950
Notes:
(1)
issued with trade certifications recognised by the BCA and who possess at least four years of construction
experience in Singapore; or
(2)
Basic skilled workers refer to workers who possess the Malaysian Certificate of Education (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia)
or its equivalent and/or Skills Evaluation Certificate or Skills Evaluation Certificate (Knowledge) issued or accepted
by BCA.
(3)
To be exempted from MYE, the foreign worker must have at least two years of working experience in Singapore
which is relevant to the construction sector.
For each construction worker from a NAS country, NTS country or the PRC that has been
successfully granted a work permit, a security bond in the form of a bankers guarantee or
insurance guarantee is required to be furnished to the Controller of Work Passes before such
workers arrival in Singapore, failing which the entry will not be allowed.
(c)
(d)
Quotas based on MYE in respect of workers from NTS and the PRC
Man-year entitlements represent the total number of such workers that each main contractor is
allocated (based on number of man-years, which is equivalent to one year of employment under a
work permit) for a specific construction project based on the value of the project. Companies are
subject to MYE when employing workers from NTS countries and the PRC for construction
projects. However, construction workers from NTS countries or the PRC, who have worked with an
employer for a cumulative period of two or more years in the construction industry, may be hired by
the main contractor without need for MYE.
Only main contractors may apply for MYE. All levels of sub-contractors are required to obtain their
MYE allocation from their main contractors. A main contractor may award any number of MYE to its
sub-contractor so long as it is within the number of MYE allocated to it. Main contractors cannot
allocate or sell their MYE to other contractors not involved in the same project. Main contractors
which do so will be barred from applying for new work permits in the future.
100
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
MYE will expire on the date of completion of the relevant project. However, the main contractor may
request to extend the MYE validity period if the projects completion date has been extended. As
MYE are given based on a projects value, a main contractor can request for an increase if the
project value has increased due to additional work or variation order(s) awarded by the developer.
In addition to the above, employers are also required to comply with the conditions of the work permits
granted to them, such as requirement 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:
(a)
that the foreign worker performs only those construction activities specified in the conditions;
(b)
ensuring that the foreign worker is not sent to work for any other person, except as provided for in
the conditions;
(c)
(d)
purchasing and maintaining medical insurance with coverage of at least $15,000 per 12-month
period of the foreign workers employment (or for such shorter period where the workers period of
employment is less than 12 months) for the foreign workers in-patient care and day surgery except
as the Controller of Work Passes may otherwise provide in writing. Where the employer purchases
group medical insurance policy for his foreign employees, the employer shall not be considered to
have satisfied the obligation under this condition unless the terms of the employers group medical
insurance policy are such that each and every individual foreign employee is concurrently covered
to the extent required in the foregoing.
Apart from the EFMA, an employer of foreign workers is also subject to, among others, the provisions set
out in the:
(a)
Employment Act (Chapter 91 of Singapore), which sets out requirements with respect to the terms
of contracts of services, the payment of salary, rest days, hours of work and other conditions of
service (including over time limits) which are applicable to an employer of both local and foreign
workers; and
(b)
101
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
The Workmens Compensation (Amendment) Act of 2008 amended the WICA and, amongst others,
extended its coverage and revised compensation norms.
To the best of our Directors knowledge, as at the Latest Practicable Date, we have obtained all requisite
approvals and licences and we are in compliance with all laws and regulations that would materially affect
our business operations. Our Directors are not aware of any reasons which would cause or lead to nonrenewal of any of the necessary licences, permits, certificates and/or approvals for our business
operations.
102
EXCHANGE CONTROLS

affect the following:
(a)

company and changed its name to MS Holdings Limited.
The registered office of the Company and principal place of business of the Group is located at 22
Pandan Road, Singapore 609274.
The principal activity of the Company is that of investment holding. The principal activity of its

2.1
Basis of preparation
Although the Company was incorporated subsequent to 30 April 2014 upon which the
Restructuring Exercise was completed on 15 October 2014, the combined financial statements
presented for the financial years ended 30 April 2012, 2013 and 2014 for the purpose of inclusion
in the Offer Document are those of the Company and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with
RAP 12 Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations for financial statements prepared
under Part IX of the Fifth Schedule to the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Shares
and Debentures) Regulations 2005.
The substance is that the Group is a continuation of Moh Seng Cranes Pte. Ltd. and Moh Seng
Services Pte. Ltd.. The combined financial statements of the Group for the financial years ended 30
April 2012, 2013 and 2014 have been presented as if the Group had been in existence for all
periods presented and the assets and liabilities are brought into the combined financial statements
at their existing carrying amounts. The retained earnings recognised in the combined financial
statements are the combined retained earnings of Moh Seng Cranes Pte. Ltd. and Moh Seng
Services Pte. Ltd..
The combined financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Singapore
Financial Reporting Standards (FRS).

Except for FRS 112, the directors expect that the adoption of the standards and interpretations
above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application.
The nature of the impeding changes in accounting policy on adoption of FRS 112 is described
below.
FRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
FRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities is effective for financial periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2014.
FRS 112 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of
interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and
other off balance sheet vehicles. FRS 112 requires an entity to disclose information that helps
users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and risks associated with its interests in
other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial statements. As this is a disclosure
standard, it will have no impact to the financial position and financial performance of the Group
when applied for the financial year ending 30 April 2015.
A-10
2.
2.4
Basis of consolidation
The combined financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the
subsidiaries used in the preparation of the combined financial statements are prepared for
the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like
transactions and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting
from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. The substance is that the
Group is a continuation of Moh Seng Cranes Pte. Ltd. and Moh Seng Services Pte. Ltd.. The
combined financial statements of the Group for the financial years ended 30 April 2012,
2013 and 2014 have been presented as if the Group had been in existence for all periods
presented and the assets and liabilities are brought into the combined financial statements at
their existing carrying amounts. The retained earnings recognised in the combined financial
statements are the retained earnings of Moh Seng Cranes Pte. Ltd. and Moh Seng Services
Pte. Ltd..
(b)
Business combinations
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by
applying the pooling of interest method which involves the following:
The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the controlling holding
company.
No adjustments are made to reflect the fair values on the date of combination, or
recognise any new assets or liabilities.
Any difference between the consideration paid/transferred and the equity acquired is
reflected within the equity as merger reserve.
The statement of comprehensive income reflects the results of the combining entities
for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place.
Comparatives are restated to reflect the combination as if it had occurred from the
beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements or from the date
the entities had come under common control, if later.
A-11
2.
2.5
Foreign currency
The financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars, which is also the Companys
functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items
included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
A-12
2.
2.7
Associates
An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has
significant influence. An associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains
significant influence until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the
associate.
The Groups investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity
method, the investment in associate is measured in the statement of financial position at cost plus
post-acquisition changes in the Groups share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to
an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Groups share
of the net fair value of the associates identifiable asset, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the
cost of the investment is deducted from the carrying amount of the investment and is recognised
as income as part of the Groups share of results of the associate in the period in which the
investment is acquired.
The profit or loss reflects the share of the results of operations of the associates. Where there has
been a change recognised in other comprehensive income by the associates, the Group
recognises its share of such changes in other comprehensive income. Unrealised gains and losses
resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the
interest in the associates.
The Groups share of the profit or loss of its associates is shown on the face of profit or loss after
tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of associates.
When the Groups share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate,
the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments
on behalf of the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise
an additional impairment loss on the Groups investment in its associates. The Group determines at
the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the
associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the
difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises
the amount in profit or loss.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared as of 31 May as it follows the same
reporting date of its major shareholder, GKE Corporation Limited. Adjustments are made for the
effects of significant transactions or events that occur between that date and the reporting date of
the Group. The difference between the end of the reporting period of the associate and the Group
is not more than three months. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting
policies in line with those of the Group.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures any retained investment
at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of
significant influence and the fair value of the aggregate of the retained investment and proceeds
from disposal is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end,
and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on de-recognition of the
asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
2.9
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties that are either owned by the Group or leased under a finance
lease that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, rather than for use in the
production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, or in the ordinary course
of business. Investment properties comprise completed investment properties and properties that
are being constructed or developed for future use as investment properties. Properties held under
operating leases are classified as investment properties when the definition of an investment
property is met.

Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of
its financial assets at initial recognition.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the
case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction
costs.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Loans and receivables
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans
and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less
impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and
receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
The Group has not designated any financial assets upon initial recognition at fair value
through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, or available for sale financial assets.
A-16
2.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of
its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial
liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or
loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains
and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through
the amortisation process.
The Group has not designated any financial liability upon initial recognition as fair value
through profit or loss.

2.16 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of
the arrangement at inception date: whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use
of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that
right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
For arrangements entered into prior to 1 January 2005, the date of inception is deemed to be 1
January 2005 in accordance with the transitional requirements of INT FRS 104.
(a)
As lessor
Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an
operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over
the lease term on the same bases as rental income. The accounting policy for rental income
is set out in Note 2.20. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which
they are earned.
(b)
As lessee
Finance leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental
to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value
of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any
initial direct costs are also added to the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned
between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit
or loss. Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are
incurred.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the
asset and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain
ownership by the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is
recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
A-20
2.
Rental income
Rental income arising from hiring of mobile cranes and lorry cranes is recognised upon
completion of services.
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties and leasehold
properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate costs
of incentives provided to lessees are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the
lease term on a straight-line basis.
(b)
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
A-21
2.
2.21 Taxes
(a)
(b)
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the
reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:
-
Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward
of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry
forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:
-
Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit
nor taxable profit or loss; and
A-22
2.
(c)
Sales tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:
-
Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable
from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the
cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
2.22 Share capital and share issuance expenses
Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity. Incremental
costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted against share capital.
A-23
2.
a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the Group; or
(b)
a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
(i)
(ii)
Contingent liabilities are not recognised on the balance sheet of the Group, except for contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination that are present obligations and which the fair values
can be reliably determined.
2.24 Related parties
A related party is defined as follows:
(a)
(b)
A person or a close member of that persons family is related to the Group if that person:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
the entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each
parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others);
(ii)
one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint
venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member);
(iii)
(iv)
one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the
third entity;
(v)
the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the
Group or an entity related to the Group. If the Group is itself such a plan, the
sponsoring employers are also related to the Group;
(vi)
(vii)
a person identified in (a) (i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of
the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
A-24

(b)
(c)
Taxes
Significant judgment is involved in determining the Groups provision for income taxes. There
are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for
expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the
final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the
period in which such determination is made. The carrying amount of the Groups tax
payables as at 30 April 2014 is $628,412 (2013: $1,412,460; 2012: $487,777). The Groups
deferred tax liabilities are disclosed in Note 20 to the combined financial statements.

The company is exempted from preparing statutory audited financial statements in Singapore. The financial position,
results and cash flows had been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, Singapore for the purpose of preparing the audited
combined financial statements. The financial results of the company for the 12-months ended 30 April 2012, 2013
and 2014 were consolidated in the combined financial statements.
For the financial years ended 30 April 2012, 2013 and 2014, the financial results of the subsidiaries
were combined with the Company on the basis that the Group is a continuation of the existing
businesses of the subsidiaries under common control. Accordingly, the equity interests in these
subsidiaries held by the Company for those financial years were deemed to be 100%.

(Note 12)
The Group engages external, independent and qualified valuer to determine the fair value of
the Groups investment properties at financial year end.
Management is responsible for selecting and engaging valuation expert that possesses the
relevant credentials and knowledge for the valuation of the investment properties.
For valuation performed by external valuer, management reviews the appropriateness of the

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a
counterparty defaults on its obligations. The Groups exposure to credit risk arises primarily from
trade receivables. For other financial assets, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively
with high credit rating counterparties.
Credit exposure to an individual customer or counterparty is generally restricted by credit limits that
are approved by management based on ongoing credit evaluation. The counterpartys payment
profile and credit exposure are continually monitored by management.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Groups trade receivables are all due from debtors
located in Singapore. There is no significant concentration of credit risks.
A nominal amount of $1,286,960 (2013: $1,139,200 & 2012: Nil) relating to a corporate
guarantee provided by the Group to the banks for facilities granted to an associate.
Information regarding credit enhancements for trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note 15.
34.6% (2013: 21.5%; 2012: 18.1%) of the Groups trade and receivables were due from 5
major customers of the Group located in Singapore.
A-49
28.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due
to shortage of funds. The Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatch of the
maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Groups objective is to maintain a balance between
continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Groups financial assets and liabilities at the
end of the reporting period based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.

(SSAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information
Included in a Prospectus, issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants. This standard
requires that the practitioner comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether management has compiled, in all material respects, the Unaudited
Pro Forma Group Financial Information on the basis as described in Explanatory Note 1 and 2.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or
opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Group
Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the
financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Group Financial Information.
B-1
The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
(ii)
The Unaudited Pro Forma Group Financial Information reflects the proper application of those
adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the practitioners judgment, having regard to the practitioners
understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the Unaudited Pro
Forma Group Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Group
Financial Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion,
(a)
The Unaudited Pro Forma Group Financial Information has been compiled:
(i)
(ii)
in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by MS Holdings Limited in its
latest audited financial statements, which are in accordance with Singapore Financial
Reporting Standards;
on the basis of the applicable criteria stated in Explanatory Note 1 and 2 to the Unaudited
Pro Forma Group Financial Information; and
each material adjustment made to the information used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro
Forma Group Financial Information is appropriate for the purpose of preparing such unaudited
financial information.

Directors
(a)
(b)
Remuneration
Fees payable to Non-Executive Directors shall be a fixed sum (not being a commission on or
a percentage of profits or turnover of the Company) as shall from time to time be determined
by the Company in general meeting. Fees payable to Directors shall not be increased except
at a general meeting convened by a notice specifying the intention to propose such increase.
Any Director who holds any executive office, or who serves on any committee of the
Directors, or who performs services outside the ordinary duties of a Director, may be paid
extra remuneration by way of salary or otherwise (not being a commission on or a
percentage of profits or turnover of the Company), as the Directors may determine.
The remuneration of a CEO shall be fixed by the Directors and may be by way of salary or
commission or participation in profits or by any or all of these modes but shall not be by a
commission on or a percentage of turnover.
The Directors shall have power to pay pensions or other retirement, superannuation, death
or disability benefits to (or to any person in respect of) any Director for the time being holding

liability or obligation of our Company.
(d)
(e)

Company.
C-1
(b)
Voting rights
A holder of our ordinary share(s) is entitled to attend, speak and vote at any general
meeting, in person or by proxy. Proxies need not be a Shareholder. A person who holds
ordinary shares through the SGX-ST book-entry settlement system will only be entitled to
vote at a general meeting as a shareholder if his name appears on the depository register
maintained by CDP 48 hours before the general meeting. Except as otherwise provided in
our Articles of Association, two or more Shareholders must be present in person or by proxy
to constitute a quorum at any general meeting. Under our Articles of Association, on a show
of hands, every Shareholder present in person and by proxy shall have one vote, and on a
poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each ordinary
share which he holds or represents. A poll may be demanded in certain circumstances,
including by the Chairman of the meeting or by any Shareholder present in person or by
proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all Shareholders
having the right to attend and vote at the meeting or by any five Shareholders present in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote. In the case of a tie vote, whether on a show of hands
or a poll, the Chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a casting vote.
3.
Change in capital
Changes in the capital structure of our Company (for example, consolidation, cancellation, subdivision or conversion of our share capital) require Shareholders to pass an ordinary resolution.
Ordinary resolutions generally require at least 14 days notice in writing. The notice must be given
to each of our Shareholders who have supplied us with an address in Singapore for the giving of
notices and must set forth the place, the day and the hour of the meeting. However, we are
required to obtain our Shareholders approval by way of a special resolution for any reduction of our
share capital or other undistributable reserve, subject to the conditions prescribed by law.
C-2
5.
C-3
Ordinary Shares
All of our Shares are in registered form. We may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the
rules of the SGX-ST, purchase our Shares. However, we may not, except in circumstances permitted by
the Companies Act, grant any financial assistance for the acquisition or proposed acquisition of our
Shares.
New Shares
New Shares may only be issued with the prior approval of our Shareholders in a general meeting. The
aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to such approval may not exceed the limit as may be
prescribed by the SGX-ST of which the aggregate number of Shares to be issued other than on a prorata basis to our Shareholders may not exceed the limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST. The
approval, if granted, will lapse at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following the date on
which the approval was granted or the date by which the next annual general meeting is required by law
to be held, whichever is the earlier. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of the Companies Act and any
special rights attached to any class of shares currently issued, all New Shares are under the control of
our Board of Directors who may allot and issue the same with such rights and restrictions as it may think
fit.
Shareholders
Only persons who are registered in our Register of Shareholders and, in cases in which the person so
registered is CDP, the persons named as the Depositors in the Depository Register maintained by CDP
for the Shares, are recognised as our Shareholders. We will not, except as required by law, recognise any
equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or other rights for any Share other than the
absolute right thereto of the registered holder of that Share or of the person whose name is entered in
the Depository Register for that Share. We may close our Register of Shareholders for any time or times
if we provide the SGX-ST at least five clear Market Days notice. However, the Register of Shareholders
may not be closed for more than 30 days in aggregate in any calendar year. We typically close our
Register of Shareholders to determine Shareholders entitlement to receive dividends and other
distributions.
Transfer of Shares
There is no restriction on the transfer of fully paid Shares except where required by law or the Catalist
Rules or the rules or bye-laws of any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. Our Board of
Directors may decline to register any transfer of Shares which are not fully paid Shares or Shares on
which we have a lien. Our Shares may be transferred by a duly signed instrument of transfer in a form
approved by the SGX-ST or any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. Our Board of Directors
may also decline to register any instrument of transfer unless, among other things, it has been duly
stamped and is presented for registration together with the share certificate and such other evidence of
title as they may require. We will replace lost or destroyed certificates for Shares if it is properly notified
and if the applicant pays a fee which will not exceed $2 and furnishes any evidence and indemnity that
our Board of Directors may require.
Voting Rights
A holder of our Shares is entitled to attend, speak and vote at any general meeting, in person or by proxy.
Proxies need not be Shareholders. A person who holds Shares through the SGX-ST book-entry
settlement system will only be entitled to vote at a general meeting as a Shareholder if his name appears
on the Depository Register maintained by CDP 48 hours before the general meeting. Except as otherwise
provided in our Articles, two or more Shareholders must be present in person or by proxy to constitute a
quorum at any general meeting. Under our Articles, on a show of hands, every Shareholder present in
person and by proxy shall have one vote and on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy
shall have one vote for each Share which he holds or represents. A poll may be demanded in certain
circumstances, including by the chairman of the meeting or by any Shareholder present in person or by
proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having the
right to attend and vote at the meeting or by any five Shareholders present in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or a poll, the chairman of
the meeting shall be entitled to a casting vote.
Dividends
We may, by ordinary resolution of our Shareholders, declare dividends at a general meeting, but we may
not pay dividends in excess of the amount recommended by our Board of Directors. We must pay all
dividends out of our profits and we may satisfy dividends by the issue of Shares to our Shareholders. All
dividends are paid pro rata among our Shareholders in proportion to the amount paid-up on each
Shareholders Shares, unless the rights attaching to an issue of any Share provides otherwise. Unless
otherwise directed, dividends are paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post to each Shareholder at
his registered address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment by us to CDP of any dividend payable
to a Shareholder whose name is entered in the Depository Register shall, to the extent of payment made
to CDP, discharge us from any liability to that Shareholder in respect of that payment.
Take-overs
Under the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (Singapore Take-over Code), issued by the
Authority pursuant to Section 321 of the SFA, any person acquiring an interest, either on his own or
together with parties acting in concert with him, in 30.0% or more of the voting Shares must extend a
take-over offer for the remaining voting Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Takeover Code. In addition, a mandatory take-over offer is required to be made if a person holding, either on
his own or together with parties acting in concert with him, between 30.0% and 50.0% of the voting
shares acquires additional voting shares representing more than 1.0% of the voting shares in any six
month period. Under the Singapore Take-over Code, the following individuals and companies will be
presumed to be persons acting in concert with each other unless the contrary is established:

D-3
Minority Rights
The rights of minority Shareholders of Singapore-incorporated companies are protected under Section
216 of the Companies Act, which gives the Singapore courts a general power to make any order, upon
application by any of our Shareholders, as they think fit to remedy any of the following situations where:
(a)
our affairs are being conducted or the powers of our Board of Directors are being exercised in a
manner oppressive to, or in disregard of the interests of, one or more of our Shareholders; or
(b)
we take an action, or threaten to take an action, or our Shareholders pass a resolution, or propose
to pass a resolution, which unfairly discriminates against, or is otherwise prejudicial to, one or more
of our Shareholders, including the applicant.
Singapore courts have a wide discretion as to the reliefs they may grant and those reliefs are in no way
limited to those listed in the Companies Act itself. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Singapore
courts may:
(a)
(b)
(c)
authorise civil proceedings to be brought in our name of, or on behalf of, by a person or persons
and on such terms as the court may direct;
(d)
provide for the purchase of a minority Shareholders Shares by our other Shareholders or by us
and, in the case of a purchase of Shares by us, a corresponding reduction of our share capital; or
(e)
D-4
APPENDIX E TAXATION
The following is a discussion of certain tax matters relating to Singapore income tax, capital gains tax,
stamp duty and estate duty consequences in relation to the purchase, ownership and disposal of our
Shares. The discussion is limited to a general description of certain tax consequences in Singapore with
respect to the ownership of shares and is based on laws, regulations and interpretations now in effect
and available as of the date of this Offer Document. The laws, regulations and interpretations, however,
may change at any time, and any change could be retroactive to the date of issuance of our Shares.
These laws and regulations are also subject to various interpretations and the relevant tax authorities or
the courts of Singapore could later disagree with the explanations or conclusions set out below.
Prospective purchasers of our Shares should consult their tax advisors concerning the tax
consequences of owning and disposing of our Shares. Neither our Company, our Directors, the
Vendor nor any other persons involved in this Placement accepts responsibility for any tax effects
or liabilities resulting from the subscription, purchase, holding or disposal of our Shares.
SINGAPORE INCOME TAX
General
Scope of Tax
Corporate taxpayers are generally subject to Singapore income tax on all Singapore source income, and
on foreign source income received or deemed received in Singapore (unless specifically exempted).
In general, individuals are subject to Singapore income tax only on Singapore source income. However,
foreign source income received through a partnership may be subject to Singapore income tax if it is
received or deemed received in Singapore (unless specifically exempted).
Rates of Tax
The prevailing corporate income tax rate is 17.0% with partial tax exemption for normal chargeable
income of up to $300,000 as follows:
For newly incorporated Singapore tax resident companies, with no more than 20 individual shareholders
where at least one of which is an individual holding at least 10.0% of the total number of issued ordinary
shares throughout the basis period relating to the Year of Assessment of claim, the following exemptions
for normal chargeable income apply for the first three Years of Assessment:
An individual is regarded as tax resident in Singapore for a year of assessment if, in the preceding year,
he was physically present or had exercised employment in Singapore (other than as a director of a
company) for 183 or more days, or if he resides in Singapore.
Singapore tax-resident individuals are generally subject to tax based on a progressive scale. The top
marginal rate of tax is currently 20.0%.
Non-Singapore resident individuals are generally subject to tax at a flat rate of 20.0%. Their Singapore
employment income is however taxed at a flat rate of 15.0% or at resident tax rates, whichever yields a
higher amount of tax.
Dividend Distributions
The one-tier system of taxation for companies completely replaced Singapores full imputation system on
1 January 2008. Under the one-tier system, dividends paid out by our company are exempt from income
tax in the hands of the shareholders. The dividends will have no tax credit attached.
E-1
APPENDIX E TAXATION
No withholding tax is imposed on dividend payments made, whether to resident or non-resident
shareholders.
Gains on Disposal of Ordinary Shares
Singapore does not impose tax on capital gains. However, gains arising from the disposal of our ordinary
shares that are construed to be of an income nature will be subject to tax. Hence, any profits derived
from the disposal of ordinary shares are not taxable in Singapore unless the seller is regarded as having
derived gains of an income nature, in which case the gains on disposal of the ordinary shares will be
taxable. Likewise, if the gains are regarded by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore as having
arisen from the carrying on of a trade or business in Singapore, such gains may be taxed as trading

STAMP DUTY
No stamp duty is payable on the subscription and issuance of our Shares.
Where existing Shares evidenced in certificated form are acquired in Singapore, stamp duty is payable on
the instrument of transfer of the Shares at the rate of 0.20% of the consideration for or market value of,
the Shares, whichever is higher. The purchaser is liable for the stamp duty charge, unless otherwise
agreed by the parties to the transaction.
No stamp duty is payable if no instrument of transfer is executed (such as in the case of scripless shares,
the transfer of which does not require an instrument of transfer to be executed) or if the instrument of
transfer is executed outside of Singapore. However, stamp duty may be payable if the instrument of
transfer which is executed outside Singapore is subsequently brought into Singapore.
ESTATE DUTY
The Singapore estate duty was abolished with effect from 15 February 2008.
GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
GST is a tax on domestic consumption of goods and services and on the importation of goods into
Singapore. The standard rate of GST is currently 7.0%.
The sale of our Companys ordinary shares by an investor belonging in Singapore through an SGX-ST
member or to another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt supply not subject to GST. Any GST
incurred by a GST registered investor in the making of such an exempt supply is generally not
recoverable from the Comptroller of GST.
Where our Companys ordinary shares are sold by a GST registered investor to a person belonging
outside Singapore, the sale is a taxable supply subject to GST at 0% if certain conditions are met. Any
GST incurred by a GST registered investor in the making of this supply in the course or furtherance of a
business may be recovered from the Comptroller of GST.
Services such as brokerage, handling and clearing charges rendered by a GST registered person to an
investor belonging in Singapore in connection with the investors purchase, sale or holding of shares will
be subject to GST at the standard rate. Similar services rendered to an investor belonging outside
Singapore may be zero-rated if certain conditions are met.
