**SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Annual Report on Form 20-F contains forward-looking statements that relate to our current expectations and views of future events. These forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Industry Overview" and "Business." These statements relate to events that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those listed under "Risk Factors," which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as "believe", "plan", "expect", "intend", "should", "seek", "estimate", "will", "aim" and "anticipate", or other similar expressions, but these are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this document, including those regarding future financial position and results, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations (including development plans and dividends) and statements on future industry growth are forward-looking statements. In addition, we and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements which are forward-looking statements, including in our periodic reports that we will file with the SEC, other information sent to our shareholders and other written materials.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual outcomes may differ materially from the information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in "Risk Factors" and the following:

**FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CURRENCY PRESENTATION**

***Basis of Presentation***

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information contained in this Annual Report is prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP").

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

**Recent Events**

On April 14, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying us that based on the closing bid price of the Company for the period from February 28, 2025 to April 11, 2025, we no longer meet the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2), to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. We had a 180-calendar day compliance period, or until October 13, 2025, in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirement. We did not regain compliance in the compliance period and requested an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. On October 17, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it is eligible for an additional 180-day extension, or until April 13, 2026, to regain compliance. The shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol "SKK" through the 180-day extension. On April 6, 2026, we effected a share consolidation on a 10 for 1 ratio. The objective of the share consolidation is to enable us to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on Nasdaq. As a result of the share consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company was reduced from 24,375,000 to 2,437,503. The disclosure throughout this report does not reflect the share consolidation, unless otherwise noted.

An investment in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. The risks discussed below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends, and you may lose all or a part of your investment. The realization of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and future prospects.

**Risks Related to Our Business and Industry**

 ****

***We determine the tender price or quotation for a project based on our estimation of the time and costs involved, which may not be accurate, and any material deviation from our estimate may lead to cost overruns or even losses on our projects***

We determine the tender price or quotation for a project based on our estimated project costs (which will largely depend on the amount of time required to complete the project) plus a mark-up margin. We have to maintain the competitiveness of our pricing while maximizing our profit margin. If we perceive keen competition on a particular project, we may submit a more competitive tender price or quotation with a lower mark-up margin, thereby reducing profitability. If the mark-up margin set by us is too low, we may be unable to cover the financial impact of any unfavorable circumstances during project implementation. On the other hand, if we try to allow for unfavorable circumstances and set a higher mark-up margin, our tender or quotation may become uncompetitive. There is no assurance that our pricing strategy and policy will be effective or responsive to market price changes and changes in customers' demand or that we will always be able to price our tenders or quotations competitively, failing which may cause us to be unsuccessful in the tender or quotation, thereby resulting in a decrease in the number of projects that may be awarded to us. In turn, this would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects. Most of our contracts with customers do not have any price adjustment mechanisms to accommodate any fluctuation in costs. As there is no assurance that the costs estimated at the beginning of a contract will not be increased during the contract period, we have to bear the risk of increasing costs accordingly. Cost overruns may result from inaccurate estimations of time and costs, increases in the costs of labor, materials and subcontracting, additional costs derived from unexpected technical difficulties encountered during the progress of the projects and rectification of work defects, adverse weather conditions, disputes with parties involved in the projects, changes in the regulatory requirements and government policies, inflation and unforeseen problems and circumstances, some of which are beyond our control. Changes or disagreements regarding project execution such as workmanship and choice of materials, among other things, may occur in a project. Any of these may also give rise to delays in completion of works or even unilateral termination of contracts by our customers due to unsatisfactory performance. If we are unable to control our costs within our estimates or recover the extra costs and control the progress of our projects, we may suffer cost overruns or even losses on our projects which may adversely affect our profit margin and results of operations.

 **

***If we fail to retain business relationships with our top five (5) key customers or secure new customers, our business may be adversely affected***

 **

During the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, revenue derived from our top five (5) key customers, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 96.0%, 90.2% and 87.0%, respectively, of our total revenue and our top key customer accounted for approximately 29.9%, 42.9% and 26.9% of our revenue, respectively. Because we have not entered into long-term contracts with any of our top five (5) key customers, and our services are provided to them on a project-by-project basis, our ability to obtain new business and generate recurring revenue from them is dependent on our maintaining good business relationships with them and subject to the stability of their operations and to their business strategies, both of which are beyond our control and our ability to predict. If our key customers decide to change their business strategies, such as downsizing their business or suspending or ceasing their marketing, development or expansion plans, their demand for our services may decrease or they may switch to only working with contractors that are willing to offer highly competitive tender/quotation prices or a longer progress payment period or to accept less commercially favorable terms. Any significant decrease in the number or contract value of projects obtained from our key customers and/or their significant delay in or failure to make payments could lead to loss of revenue and/or affect our liquidity and thus adversely affect our business. Accordingly, if we are unable to enter into business relationships with new customers to diversify our customer portfolio, our business may be adversely affected.

***Inability to renew our existing registrations and licenses or cancellation or suspension of our existing registrations and licenses could materially affect our operations and financial performance***

 ****

We are regulated by the BCA and various other regulatory bodies in Singapore. These regulatory bodies stipulate the criteria that must be satisfied before registrations and licenses are granted to, and/or renewed and/or maintained for, our business. The maintenance and renewal of our registrations and licenses are subject to compliance with the relevant regulations. In particular, we are a Grade GB2 licensed general builder, Grade C1 contractor under the CW02 (civil engineering) workhead, Grade L5 contractor under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead, Grade L1 contractor under the ME11 (mechanical engineering) workhead and Grade L6 contractor under the SY05 (electrical & electronic materials, products & components). The grading under the workhead also reflects the profile of a contractor and the limit on the value of each public sector project that a contractor can undertake, which potential customers may consider during tender/quotation invitation and/or tender/quotation evaluation. The requirements laid down by the BCA may change from time to time, and there is no assurance that we will be able to meet the changing requirements and maintain and/or renew our registrations and licenses.

Our registrations and licenses may be downgraded, suspended or cancelled if we fail to comply with the applicable requirements. Delay or refusal may also occur when renewing such registrations and licenses upon expiry. As we are a civil engineering service provider that specialize in subsurface utility works, all our projects are in the public sector and an inability to renew or maintain our existing workhead grading may reduce the number of project opportunities and the value of the public sector projects that we can tender/quote for, and have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance. Failure to keep or renew our existing workhead categories could result in suspension of our business operations, restriction or prohibition of certain business activities, or commencement of new business, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business operation, financial position, financial results and prospects.

***Social, economic, political and legal developments or instability, as well as any changes in government policies, in Singapore, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects***

 ****

All our assets and business operations are located in Singapore and all of our revenue during the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was derived from Singapore. Therefore, our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects are significantly exposed to the social, economic, political and legal developments primarily in Singapore. Uncertainties in these areas include, but are not limited to, the risks of war, regional conflicts, terrorism, extremism, nationalism, nullification of contracts, changes in interest rates, imposition of capital controls, foreign ownership restrictions and international sanctions, changes in government policies and introduction of new rules or regulations concerning our industry (such as minimum wage), as well as methods of taxation. In particular, events with adverse impact on investors' confidence and risk appetites, such as general deterioration of the economy, mass civil disobedience movements (such as strikes and industrial actions), significant fluctuations in the stock exchange, deterioration of political relations or tightening of foreign investment may lead to a reduction in investment/development in the real estate sector and, in turn, affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects. We anticipate that Singapore will continue to be the principal base of our business operations in the near future. There is no assurance that any future changes in the existing government policies, economic, social and political conditions and the business environment in Singapore, some of which are beyond our control (such as natural disasters, pandemics/epidemics like the outbreak of COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome, the H5N1 strain of avian influenza and the H1N1 strain of swine flu, acts of God and other disasters), will not have a negative effect on our business operations. Specifically, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations concerning the construction industry, foreign investment, foreign labor, taxation and ownership and expropriation of property, as well as environmental or health and safety matters, in Singapore.

***Any deterioration in the market conditions in the civil engineering services sector of the construction industry in Singapore may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects***

 ****

All our projects are located in Singapore. The future growth and level of profitability of the civil engineering services sector of the construction industry in Singapore depend primarily upon the continuation of construction and building activities, the nature, extent and timing of which will be determined by the interplay of a variety of factors, in particular, the investments in infrastructure projects, as well as the general conditions and prospects of the local economy. Economic growth, urbanization, population growth, growth in construction output and/or tourism may increase the demand for infrastructure projects in Singapore, which in turn will increase the demand for civil engineering services in Singapore. Many other factors affect the civil engineering services sector of the construction industry in Singapore, including (i) general political, economic, financial and social developments in Singapore; (ii) fluctuations in interest rates; (iii) availability of skilled labor; (iv) local government policies; and (v) cyclical trends of the regional and global economies. If the civil engineering services sector of the construction industry in Singapore declines for any reason, our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects could be adversely affected.

***We operate in a competitive market***

 ****

The civil engineering services sector in Singapore is competitive and relatively fragmented. As of April 6, 2026, there were 932 contractors registered with the BCA under the CW02 (civil engineering) workhead (of which 180 are of Grade C1), 523 contractors registered with the BCA under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead (of which 71 are of Grade L5 and 29 are of Grade L6), 996 contractors registered with the BCA under the ME11 (mechanical engineering) workhead (of which 719 are of Grade L1), and 337 contractors registered with the BCA under the SY05 (electrical & electronic materials, products & components) workhead (of which 50 are of Grade L6). Industry players generally compete with each other on market position, industry reputation, track record, relationships with project owners, main contractors and industry professionals, such as project managers, and financial standing. Some of our competitors may have more manpower and resources, more qualifications entitling them to provide a wider scope of civil engineering and/or construction services, longer operating histories, greater financial strength, stronger relationships with customers and/or more established brand names and market recognition than we have. When we price our tenders or quotations or fix a contract price with our customers, we may face keen competition and significant downward pricing pressure, thereby reducing our profit margins, which will have an adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations. If we fail to adapt to market conditions and customer preferences expediently or otherwise fail to provide a competitive bid as compared to our competitors, our potential customer may turn to our competitors. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

***Higher prices of material, subcontracting, labor and other indirect costs may affect our results of operations and financial performance***

 ****

A significant portion of our cost of sales is comprised of material costs, subcontracting costs, project related employee benefits expenses and miscellaneous project expenses. Our material costs, subcontracting costs, project related employee benefit expenses and miscellaneous project expenses totaled approximately $8.8 million, approximately $6.2 million and approximately $6.2 million for the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Other ancillary costs include management costs, administrative costs, insurance costs and costs of institutional measures and government requirements. If labor costs, material costs and/or other indirect costs increase, our subcontractors may pass on the increase in their costs to us by increasing their subcontracting fees. If these costs continue to rise and we fail to pass on the increase to our customers, it could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

***Changes in existing laws, regulations and government policies, including those relating to environmental protection and labor safety, may cause us to incur additional costs***

 ****

Our business operations are governed by various laws, regulations and government policies in Singapore. The licensing requirements for contractors in our industry, as well as environmental protection and labor safety requirements, may change from time to time in each jurisdiction. We may be unable to comply with all these requirements in time, or at all, or we may need to incur substantial costs to be compliant, which may adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.

 **

***Over 85.0% of our workforce is made up of foreign labor and inability to recruit and/or retain foreign labor could materially affect our operations and financial performance***

 **

Our business is highly dependent on foreign workers as the local construction labor force is of limited supply and more costly. As of December 31, 2025, over 85% of our workforce was made up of foreign employees (including site workers and other employees). Any shortage in the supply of foreign workers, increase in the levy payable to the Singapore government by employers for hired foreign workers (the "FWL"), or restriction on the number of foreign workers that we can employ will adversely affect our operations and financial performance. The supply of foreign labor in Singapore is subject to the policies and regulations imposed by the Ministry of Manpower ("MOM").

For example, the MOM imposes a quota on the number of foreign workers that the main contractor and its subcontractors can employ in respect of each construction project. Depending on the requirements of our projects, the tightening of such quota on the number of foreign workers that the main contractors and their subcontractors can employ could affect our operations and accordingly our business and financial performance. Any changes in the policies of the foreign workers' countries of origin may affect the supply of foreign labor and cause disruptions to our operations which in turn may result in a delay in the completion of our projects. The MOM also imposes FWL for foreign workers (subject to changes as and when announced by the Singapore government) whereby the FWL for basic skilled workers under the construction sector is set at S$700 per head. Any increase in FWL will increase our operating expenses and will affect our financial performance.

***Our business and operations may be materially and adversely affected in the event of a re-occurrence or a prolonged global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19***

The global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 announced by the World Health Organization in March 2020 has generally only caused minor disruption to our operations as well as the operations of most of our customers and suppliers (except during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when clusters were detected at multiple migrant worker dormitories in late March and April 2020 and a lot of our foreign workers were infected with COVID-19 or otherwise required to quarantine in their dormitories for over four (4) months), as our businesses are classified as essential services by the Singapore government which were allowed to operate normally during the COVID-19 pandemic. If the development of the COVID-19 outbreak becomes more severe and/or new variants of COVID-19 evolve to be more transmissible and virulent than the existing strains, this may result in a tightening of restrictions and regulations on businesses which may impact us and our customers and suppliers. If we or our customers and suppliers are forced to close down our/their businesses with prolonged disruptions to our/their operations, we may fail to fulfill our orders on time to our customers, experience a delay or shortage of raw materials, supplies and/or services by our suppliers or subcontractors, or termination of our orders and contracts by our customers. In addition, if any of our employees are suspected of having contracted COVID-19, some or all of our employees may be quarantined thus causing a shortage of labor and we will be required to disinfect our offices and workshop. In such event, our operations may be severely disrupted. If there is a resurgence of COVID-19, it may have a negative impact on the local, regional and global economy, which will have negative impacts on our customers' businesses and hence our businesses will also be affected. All these may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, tightened travel restrictions by the Singapore or other governments may make it more difficult for us to hire suitable manpower from overseas jurisdictions. This may lead to stagnation in our workforce strength, thereby affecting our potential growth as we rely heavily on skilled labor which may be a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We depend in part on our subcontractors to assist us in the implementation of our projects, and our failure to maintain stability in subcontracting costs and to monitor the performance of our subcontractors could harm our business***

 ****

Subcontracting costs may fluctuate as a result of changes in costs of labor and materials or project-specific requirements. Certain of our contracts with our customers are fixed-price contracts. Accordingly, if the amounts that we are required to pay to our subcontractors exceed our estimation due to project delays resulting from weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances, we may suffer cost overruns or even losses. Moreover, if a subcontractor fails to provide services as required under a contract for any reason, we could be required to source another subcontractor. If we are unable to do so in a timely manner, delays or higher than anticipated subcontracting costs may be triggered, which can impact our overall project costs and hence our profitability.

There is also no assurance that our subcontractor selection and management system will always be effective to facilitate our monitoring of the performance of our subcontractors. If our subcontractors fail to deliver or they deliver substandard works, we may be unable to engage a replacement subcontractor to complete the works or rectify the substandard works in time, or at all. We also may be unable to replace materials of inferior quality procured by our subcontractors in time, or at all, other than at extra costs. Any material non-performance, delayed performance or substandard performance of our subcontractors could result in deterioration of the quality of our services or unexpected delays of our scheduled commitment dates or even our ability to complete the projects, which could in turn harm our reputation and potentially expose us to liability and damage claims under our contracts with our customers. Moreover, our subcontractors are subject to various laws, rules and regulations, such as laws, rules and regulations in relation to work site safety and work permits for foreign workers. There is no assurance that there will not be any violations by our subcontractors of any such laws, rules or regulations. If such a violation occurs in the sites for which we are responsible as a main contractor and results in fines, claims or lawsuits, either associated with personal injuries, death or damages to properties, against us or otherwise, our reputation, business, results of operations and financial conditions may be adversely affected. The stability of the operations of our major subcontractors, which is beyond our control, may also affect us. Any material disruptions to our subcontractors' operations due to weather, riots, pandemic/epidemic, natural disaster, fire, breach of internal controls or other technical or mechanical problems could affect our project completion. If that occurs, our ability to achieve timely completion of our projects may be adversely affected and this, in turn, will affect our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

***The amount recognized as revenue by us may not be the same as the value of works eventually certified by our customers***

 ****

We generally recognize revenue from our projects with reference to the value of work performed based on the percentage of completion. Payments from our customers are generally made pursuant to our invoices prepared in accordance with the interim payment certificates as certified by our customers. Nevertheless, for any project where payment application has yet to be made by us, or where payment application has been made by us but is not yet certified as of the end of the relevant reporting period, we recognize the estimated revenue and the corresponding contract assets (being the right to payment for work performed that is conditional on something other than the passage of time) with reference to the percentage of completed works as confirmed by our in-house project manager. Disputes may arise between our customers and us as to whether the projects are properly done or whether the specified milestones are achieved satisfactorily for a particular period, and we may not recover the contract assets and/or receive the progress payments to which we are entitled for the relevant period within an expected timeframe. As such, revenue and the corresponding contract assets recognized by us on the projects may not necessarily be the same amount that is eventually certified.

***Inability to complete our projects on a timely basis could materially affect our financial performance and reputation or subject us to claims***

 ****

Our revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method, and billing is based on approved monthly progress claims. Any delay in a project will therefore affect our billings, revenue, operational cash flows and financial performance. We are also required to pay our material suppliers and subcontractors regardless of such delay if the purchase orders have been fulfilled, therefore affecting our operational cash flows. A delay in the project can be due to various factors, including but not limited to, a shortage of manpower, a shortage of materials, delays by subcontractors or adverse weather. If the delay is caused by us, we are liable to pay our contracting parties for the liquidated damages stipulated in our contracts and our reputation (including the chance of being invited for future tenders/quotations and our tender/quotation success rate) could also be materially affected. If the delay is caused by our customers, we will also be unable to terminate our contracts with them or seek compensation from them as such clauses are typically not included in our contracts.

Moreover, other than liquidated damages, we may also have to bear additional costs as our customers have the discretion, after giving us notice and regardless of our objections, hire or employ additional subcontractor, labor, machinery and equipment as they deem fit, to avoid or minimize further delay. We will have to bear the aforementioned costs, with administrative charges calculated as a percentage of the incurred costs. In addition, to minimize further delay, we are also obliged to incur overtime man hours and the related labor costs at our own expense. In such circumstances, our financial performance and operations will be adversely affected.

***Our operating margin may decline as a result of increasing material, subcontracting, labor and other indirect costs***

 ****

Our cost of sales is mainly comprised of material costs, subcontracting costs and project related employee benefit expenses. Other indirect costs include management costs, administrative costs, insurance costs and costs of government requirements. Indirect costs are affected by, among other things requirements imposed on contractors or subcontractors to implement more safety, environmental and health enhancements to keep accident rates low, to improve welfare requirements to ensure the well-being of workers, to obtain more certifications to fit customers' tender/quotation requirements and to increase overhead costs for administrative purposes. If labor costs, material costs and/or the other indirect costs increase, our subcontractors may pass the increase in their costs onto us by increasing their subcontracting fees.

Material, subcontracting, labor and other indirect costs mentioned above are subject to increase by other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond the control of contractors or subcontractors. If these costs continue to rise, and we fail to pass the increases on to our customers, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

***Our customers may omit certain contract works by variation orders which can cause the total contract sum of that project to be reduced***

 ****

Our project contracts generally have provisions empowering our customers to give instructions to vary the contract works by the issuance of variation orders, which we are obliged to follow. Such variation orders could relate to the addition, modification or omission of the contract works. For any cancellation of contract works, the total contract sum of that project will be reduced according to the schedule of rates included in the project contracts. If a customer omits or reduces a substantial amount of contract works resulting in a significant reduction of the total contract sum of a high-value sizeable project accounting for a significant portion of our revenue, our business, results of operations and financial conditions may be adversely affected.

***Our success depends on our ability to maintain our reputation and our business and financial results may be harmed if there are events that damage our reputation***

 ****

Our business, results of operations and prospects depend, in part, on our ability to maintain our reputation for providing high quality services. We could lose existing or potential customers and/or opportunities for securing new projects if our reputation were to be associated with any negative publicity, including negative complaints raised by unsatisfied customers that comes to the public's attention. If we fail to successfully maintain, promote and position our brand and protect our reputation, our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

***The nature of our business exposes us to product liability claims and other legal proceedings***

Our customers generally require a defect liability period (typically a period of 12 to 18 months after practical completion of a project) during which we are responsible for rectifying all defective works (if any) and may require a warranty period (which could range from two (2) to three (3) years after the issue of the certificate of practical completion) after practical completion during which we are responsible for making good all defects, damage or other faults arising from the choice of materials and performance of the works, which are our responsibilities under the relevant project contracts. There is no assurance that we and/or our subcontractors will be able to satisfy the aforementioned defect fixing requests. Even if we rectify such defects, or if we defend or settle such claims, our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects may be adversely affected.

We could be involved in disputes, claims or lawsuits with our customers, material suppliers, subcontractors, workers (including our subcontractors' workers) and other parties concerned with the projects from time to time (collectively the "Claims"), the nature of which may include (i) delay in completion of works; (ii) contractual disputes as to the value of work completed; (iii) defects of works or materials; (iv) damage to property and equipment; (v) personal injuries or death resulting from accidents or contracting disease; and (vi) labor compensation. Regardless of the merits of the Claims, we have to divert management resources and incur costs to handle them, which may affect our corporate image and reputation in the industry, especially if there were negative press coverage on the Claims. Other than for work injury insurance pursuant to Work Injury Compensation Act 2019 of Singapore, we currently do not maintain insurance coverage with respect to such Claims and we cannot assure that we will obtain insurance coverage with respect to such Claims on acceptable terms, if at all, or that any such insurance that we might obtain in the future will provide adequate coverage against potential claims. We may also face prosecutions relating to labor safety offenses arising from our or our subcontractors' failure to comply with relevant work safety, health or environmental legislation from time to time. We cannot assure you that our safety measures and procedures are always sufficient and effective in ensuring our compliance with safety requirements or that they are strictly adhered to. We do not have full control over the manner in which our subcontractors deliver their services or implement their safety measures. Prosecutions relating to labor safety may cause us to incur significant costs or losses, and, if we are convicted of serious offenses or of a series of offenses within any prescribed period (where applicable), we may be unable to renew and/or maintain our qualifications and/or certifications. All these may materially and adversely affect our reputation and business.

***We may not convert all of our backlog into revenue and cash flows***

 ****

As of December 31, 2025, our sales backlog was approximately $8.9 million, which represented the total estimated contract value of works that remained to be completed as of that date. The total value of the sales backlog represents all amounts that are expected to be received as of the relevant date under the terms of signed agreements, assuming the agreements are performed in accordance with their terms.

Any substantial and unexpected downward adjustments to and cancellations of these contracts, especially with regard to any one or more sizeable contracts, would cause a substantial and immediate reduction in our backlog and the revenue and profit that we can actually generate, thereby potentially forcing us to draw on working capital to pay expenses that otherwise would have been paid out of cash flow from operations.

Projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time beyond the initially anticipated date due to various factors beyond our control. We cannot guarantee that the contract sums estimated in our backlog will be realized in a timely manner, or at all, or that they will result in profits if realized. Specifically, as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, past and additional government mandated lockdowns and regulations may halt or delay project progress indefinitely. As a result, investors should not unduly rely on our backlog information or consider it as a reliable indicator of our future profits or results of operations.

***Failure to implement construction and engineering measures and procedures may lead to breach of laws or occurrence of personal injuries, property damage or fatal accidents***

 ****

If we or our subcontractors fail to follow and adopt all applicable construction and engineering measures and procedures, or to comply with any laws, rules or regulations, particularly in relation to health, safety and environmental matters, regardless of whether the violation is substantial or minor in nature, we may expose ourselves as primary obligor to prosecutions by the relevant authorities, and we may also be subject to claims for losses and damages if the violation causes personal injuries or death or damage to property, or to fines or other remedial measures. If such events occur, our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected. If there are any changes to such laws, rules or regulations which are applicable to us or our subcontractors, we may have to incur additional costs in complying with them, which in turn may adversely affect our profitability.

***We rely on a stable supply of skilled labor to complete our projects***

 ****

Our projects are labor intensive. For any given project, we need to involve a large number of workers from different trades with different skills. Between 2014 and 2019, the number of construction employees in Singapore declined at a compounded annual rate of approximately 1.6%, and it is expected to decline further at a compounded annual rate of approximately 1.1% from 2020 to 2024 due to the aging workforce and the tertiary industry competing for workers in Singapore. The shortage in local labor has also driven up local labor costs, especially for skilled workers, and this, in turn, has caused our subcontractors to increase their subcontracting costs as they face the same labor shortage problem. As a result, we have been employing foreign workers in Singapore to make up for the local labor shortage and to reduce our labor costs. As of December 31, 2025, we employed 153 foreign employees, representing over 85% of our total number of employees. Any shortage in the supply of foreign labor or any unfavorable change in the relevant laws and regulations in relation to the employment of foreign labor in Singapore, such as a substantial increase in foreign worker levy, a substantial decrease in quota for foreign workers or any additional restriction on the types of foreign labor that we can employ, may materially and adversely affect our operations and financial performance. Any increase in foreign worker levy will also increase our operating expenses and affect our results of operations and financial condition. Any increased difficulty in recruiting and/or retaining foreign labor or any material adverse change in the relevant laws and regulations in relation to the employment of foreign labor in Singapore could affect our ability and costs to recruit, retain or replace foreign workers and if we do not have sufficient workforce to implement our current or future projects in a timely manner within our budget, our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

***Our business operations are subject to adverse weather conditions and other construction risks which could affect our ability to meet scheduled commitments***

 ****

Most of our project contracts are subject to specific completion schedule requirements with a liquidated damages penalty if we fail to meet the schedule. Such liquidated damages are typically levied at an agreed upon rate of the contract sum for each day of delay caused by us or by our subcontractors. We may be unable to extend the contractual time allowed for completing a project undertaken by us even though additional time is required due to (i) bad weather conditions and other acts of God; (ii) construction risks such as accidents, fire, suspension of water and electricity supplies and shortage of labor, materials and equipment; (iii) additional variations to the agreed upon plans as requested by customers; (iv) changing technical needs; (v) disputes with material suppliers or subcontractors; or (vi) changes in market conditions and other unforeseen problems that are beyond our control. In the event that delay is caused by the aforesaid circumstances, we may have to accelerate our work progress so as to meet the scheduled time for completion, and such accelerated works will typically incur additional costs (such as overtime payments to our workers), thereby adversely affecting the profitability of our business. Any delay in a project will affect our billing, revenue, operating cash flows and financial condition. Moreover, there may be an overlap in time between the completion of the delayed projects and the commencement of subsequent projects, which may create pressure on our Group's manpower and financial resources. Further, if there is a delay in completion of our projects which subjects us to the payment of liquidated damages under the project contracts, this may adversely affect our liquidity and cash flows and our profit on such contracts may be reduced or we may have to suffer a net loss, which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

***All of our revenue is derived from competitive tendering or quotation and the contracts are not recurring in nature***

 ****

We derive all of our revenue from contracts awarded through a competitive tender or quotation process and the contracts are not recurring in nature. The growth of our business depends on our tendering or quoting successfully. Our existing customers are not under any contractual obligation to give us the first right for any future projects nor are they obliged to enter into any contracts with us or engage our services for their subsequent projects. We have to go through a new tender or quotation process with them for each new project. Even if we are awarded with the contract in the end, there is no assurance that the terms and conditions of the new contract will be substantially the same as the old one. New tender or quotation is more challenging as we are not familiar with the working style and underlying requirements of the new customers, thus our chances of success are more uncertain. For each new tender or quotation, there is no assurance that (i) we would be able to meet the prerequisite requirements for tendering or quotation; (ii) we would be invited to or made aware of the tender or quotation process; (iii) the terms and conditions of the new contracts would be comparable to the existing contracts or commercially acceptable to us; and (iv) our tender or quotation would ultimately be selected by our existing or potential customer. In order to enhance our competitiveness in the tender or quotation process, we may have to agree to a contract price that is lower than our proposed tender price or quotation and/or offer more favorable terms to our customers. Even if we are prepared to do so, there is still no assurance that we will be awarded with the contract, thus we cannot guarantee that there will be sufficient new and sizeable projects in our pipeline to sustain our business and maintain or improve our current results of operations and financial conditions.

***There is no guarantee that we will receive progress payments in full on time, or at all***

 ****

We generally receive progress payments with reference to the percentage of works done or the reaching of specified milestones. The customers issue an interim payment certificate certifying the work progress upon receiving our payment application. Depending on the terms and conditions of the relevant contract, our customers generally pay us within 30 to 45 days after the presentation of our invoice, which is issued after our receipt of the interim payment certificate. There is no assurance that our customers will remain solvent or that our customers will pay us the progress payments in full in a timely manner, or at all. We could be engaged in prolonged negotiation with our customers with respect to the settlement of progress payments or the final payment and could incur costs to enforce such payments from time to time. Any failure by our customers to make any payment on time or in full may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. Any failure by our customers to eventually repay the retained amount to us may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***We may implement business strategies and future plans that may not be successful***

 ****

The successful implementation of our business strategies and future plans depends on a number of factors including general market conditions, government policies, the availability of funds, competition and our ability to retain and recruit competent employees. There is no assurance that our business strategies and future plans can be implemented effectively and successfully, as some of these factors are beyond our control. If any implementation of these strategies and plans fails or is delayed, we may be adversely affected by investment expenses that have not led to the anticipated results, by the distraction of management from our core business or by damage to our brand or reputation. Additionally, if we fail to secure adequate funds in a timely manner, we may also be unable to pursue opportunities to expand our business.

***We may need additional capital, and financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all***

 ****

Although our current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flows from operating activities and the proceeds from the Public Offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the Public Offering, there is a risk that we may need additional cash resources in the future to fund our growth plans or if we experience adverse changes in business conditions or other developments. We may also need additional cash resources in the future if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for new investments, acquisitions, capital expenditures or similar actions. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The occurrence of any of these risks could adversely affect our operations or financial condition.

***If we are unable to maintain and protect our intellectual property, or if third parties assert that we infringe on their intellectual property rights, our business could suffer.***

 ****

Our business depends, in part, on our ability to identify and protect proprietary information and other intellectual property such as our customer lists and information and business methods. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality policies, non-disclosure and other contractual arrangements and copyright and trademark laws to protect our intellectual property rights. However, we may not adequately protect these rights, and their disclosure to, or use by, third parties may harm our competitive position. Our inability to detect unauthorized use of, or to take appropriate or timely steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights may harm our business. Also, third parties may claim that our business operations infringe on their intellectual property rights. These claims may harm our reputation, cost us money to defend, distract the attention of our management and prevent us from offering some services. Confidential intellectual property is increasingly stored or carried on mobile devices, such as laptop computers, which increases the risk of inadvertent disclosure where the mobile devices are lost or stolen and the information has not been adequately safeguarded or encrypted. This also makes it easier for someone with access to our systems, or someone who gains unauthorized access, to steal information and use it to our disadvantage. Advances in technology, which permit increasingly large amounts of information to be stored on mobile devices or on third-party "cloud" servers, may exacerbate these risks.

***If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.***

 ****

Prior to the completion of the Public Offering, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel. Furthermore, our management will put in place on internal control over financial reporting with full-time head of finance and our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, is designed to prevent fraud.

Upon the completion of the Public Offering, we became a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, requires that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F. In addition, if we cease to be an "emerging growth company" as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a burden on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation.

During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify material weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has defined a material weakness as "a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis."

In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may be unable to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Generally speaking, if we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations and lead to a decline in the trading price of our ordinary shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud, misuse of corporate assets and legal actions under the United States securities laws and subject us to potential delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, to regulatory investigations and to civil or criminal sanctions.

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 and determined they were not effective as described in Part II. Item 15. "Controls and Procedures" of this annual report. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness identified relates to insufficient accounting personnel with appropriate experience and knowledge to address complex accounting matters in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The material weakness, if not remediated timely, may lead to material misstatements in its consolidated financial statements in the future.

To remedy the identified material weakness, we took several measure to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including, among others: (1) recruiting more qualified personnel equipped with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and to set up a financial and system control framework, (2) implementing regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training programs for its accounting and financial reporting personnel, (3) enhancing oversight over and clarifying reporting requirements for, non-recurring and complex transactions to ensure consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are accurate, complete and in compliance with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, (4) recruiting more qualified internal control personnel with experience in the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and adopting accounting and internal control guidance on U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting, and (5) preparing more detailed guidance and manuals on financial closing policies and procedures to improve the quality and accuracy of period-end financial closing process.

There can be no assurance that any of our efforts we are implementing, or our internal control over financial reporting generally, will remediate any material weakness or avoid future weaknesses or deficiencies. Any failure to remediate the material weakness and any future weaknesses or deficiencies or any failure to implement required new or improved controls or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet its reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in its financial statements. If we are unable to remediate its material weaknesses, our management may not be able to conclude that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting are effective, which could result in investors losing confidence in its reported financial information and may lead to a decline in the share price.

 **

***Our business could be adversely affected by information technology systems breakdown or disruption***

 **

We depend on our information technology systems to (i) oversee our project progress; (ii) manage our working schedule; (iii) allocate our resources; (iv) review our performance; and (v) review our capacity, trace our project information and assess our project progress in a timely and systematic manner. We also depend on our information technology systems to assist us in providing material takeover estimates in our tendering/quotation process as well as our communication with our customers and their consultants. An extended breakdown or failure of our information technology systems could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Natural disasters and other catastrophic events beyond our control could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance***

 ****

The occurrence of one or more other natural disasters, such as fires, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes; geo-political events, such as civil unrest in a country in which our material suppliers are located or terrorist or military activities disrupting transportation, communication or utility systems, or other highly disruptive events, such as nuclear accidents, pandemics, unusual weather conditions or cyberattacks, could adversely affect our operations and financial performance. The occurrence of the global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and such other events could result in, among other things, operational disruptions, physical damage to or destruction or disruption of one or more of our properties or properties used by third parties in connection with the supply of products or services to us, the lack of an adequate workforce in parts or all of our operations and communications and transportation disruptions. The occurrence of the global COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and these factors could also cause, consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in local and global financial markets and economy. Such occurrences have and could in the future have a material adverse effect on us and could also have indirect consequences, such as increases in the costs of insurance, if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage.

**Risks Related to Our Securities**

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

We cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our Ordinary Shares will be established. If an active public market for our Ordinary Shares does not occur, the market price and liquidity of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected. As a result, investors in our Ordinary Shares may experience a significant decrease in the value of their shares.

***We have received a notice from the Nasdaq Capital Market that we have failed to maintain the continued minimum listing price of $1. We may not maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in our Ordinary Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions***

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to continue listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must maintain certain financial and share price levels and we may be unable to meet these requirements. We cannot assure you that our Shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On April 14, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying us that based on the closing bid price of the Company for the period from February 28, 2025 to April 11, 2025, we no longer meet the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. We had a 180-calendar day compliance period in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirement. We did not regain compliance in the compliance period and requested an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. On October 17, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it is eligible for an additional 180-day extension, or until April 13, 2026, to regain compliance. The shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol "SKK" through the 180-day extension.

On April 6, 2026, we effected a share consolidation on a 10 for 1 ratio. The objective of the share consolidation is to enable us to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on Nasdaq.

If it appears that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that our Shares will be subject to delisting.

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

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

● reduced liquidity for our Ordinary Shares;

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

● a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

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

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

***The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors***

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

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

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

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

● fluctuations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow;

● changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

● additions or departures of key personnel;

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

● potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

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

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

***Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to our anticipated public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. We may experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our Ordinary Shares***

In addition to the risks addressed above in "*The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors*," our Ordinary Shares may be subject to extreme volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of our business. Recently, companies with comparable public floats and initial public offering sizes have experienced instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines, and such stock price volatility was seemingly unrelated to the respective company's underlying performance. Although the specific cause of such volatility is unclear, our anticipated public float may amplify the impact the actions taken by a few shareholders have on the price of our shares, which may cause our share price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of our business. Should our Ordinary Shares experience run-ups and declines that are seemingly unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, prospective investors may have difficulty assessing the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, investors of our Ordinary Shares may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of our Ordinary Shares declines investors purchase our Ordinary Shares prior to any price decline.

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

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

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

Short selling is the practice of selling shares that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical shares back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the shares between the sale of the borrowed shares and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller's interest for the price of the shares to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions and allegations regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling the shares short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market. If we were to become the subject of any unfavorable publicity, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend ourselves. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality. Further, as a "foreign private issuer," our directors and officers remain exempt from Section 16(b) (short-swing profit liability) and Section 16(c) (short sale prohibitions).

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

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

● At least 75.0% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or

● The average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year that produce passive income or that are held for the production of passive income is at least 50.0%.

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

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

It is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50.0% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25.0% of the equity by value.

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

***As a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq Capital Market Rules, we may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies***

We are a "controlled company" as defined under the Nasdaq Capital Market Rules, because one of our shareholders holds more than 50.0% of our voting power. As a result, for so long as we remain a controlled company as defined under that rule, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market Rules, including (i) the requirement that a majority of our Board of Directors must be Independent Non-executive Directors; (ii) the requirement that our Directors must be selected or recommended solely by Independent Non-executive Directors and (iii) the requirement that we have a corporate governance and nominating committee that is composed entirely of Independent Non-executive Directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities. As a result, you may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

***Ms. Liao, and our Executive Directors and Executive Officers as a whole have significant influence over our Company, including control over decisions that require the approval of shareholders, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for a vote.***

We are currently controlled by Ms. Liao. Ms. Liao will control 41.7% of the voting power of our Ordinary Shares. As long as Ms. Liao owns or controls at least a majority of our outstanding voting power, she will have the ability to exercise substantial control over all corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, irrespective of how our other shareholders may vote, including the election and removal of Directors and the size of our Board of Directors, any amendment of our charter documents, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. Even if Ms. Liao's ownership falls below 50.0%, she will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. Ms. Liao, collectively with our Executive Directors and Executive Officers (and their affiliated parties), control 57.9% of the voting power of our Ordinary Shares. Additionally, Ms. Liao's interests, or the interests of our Executive Directors and Executive Officers as a whole, may not align with the interests of our other shareholders.

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

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

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

● have a majority of the Board of Directors consist of Independent Non-executive Directors;

● require non-management Directors to meet on a regular basis without management present; and

● seek shareholder approval for the implementation of certain equity compensation plans and dilutive issuances of Ordinary Shares, such as transactions, other than a public offering, involving the sale of 20.0% or more of our Ordinary Shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the Shares.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. Our audit committee is required to comply with the provisions of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, which is applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Therefore, we have a fully independent audit committee in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. However, because we are a foreign private issuer, our audit committee is not subject to additional Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance requirements applicable to listed U.S. companies, including the requirements to have a minimum of three (3) members and to affirmatively determine that all members are "independent," using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer.

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

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the U.S. securities laws. The rights of shareholders to take action against our Directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors to us under Cayman Islands law are governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands (as compared to the U.S. law) as well as from English common law. The decisions of the English courts are of highly persuasive authority, but are not binding on Cayman Islands courts (except for those decisions handed down from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to the extent that these have been appealed from the Cayman Islands courts). The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors under Cayman Islands law are broadly similar to those in other common law jurisdictions, but there may be differences in the statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws than the United States, and provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, if shareholders want to proceed against the Company outside of the Cayman Islands, they will need to demonstrate that they have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. There is no guarantee that the courts of the Cayman Islands would automatically recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of Singapore or the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the Singapore securities laws or the federal securities laws of the United States or any state. In addition, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize and enforce a judgment predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are taxes, fines or penal in nature, or otherwise contrary to public policy, including punitive damages.

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

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as U.S. states. Currently, we plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter. Accordingly, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

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

***Recently introduced economic substance legislation of the Cayman Islands may impact us or our operations***

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. Effective January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (as amended) (the "Substance Law") and issued Regulations and Guidance Notes came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for "relevant entities" which are engaged in certain "relevant activities," which in the case of exempted companies incorporated before January 1, 2019, will apply in respect of financial years commencing July 1, 2019, onwards. A "relevant entity" includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands; however, it does not include an entity that is tax resident outside the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, for so long as we are a tax resident outside the Cayman Islands, we are not required to satisfy the economic substance test under the Substance Law. Although it is presently anticipated that the Substance Law will have little material impact on us or our operations, as the legislation is new and remains subject to further clarification and interpretation it is not currently possible to ascertain the precise impact of these legislative changes on us.

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

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our current Directors and Executive Officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Service of court documents on a Cayman Islands company can be effected by serving the documents at the company's registered office and it may be is possible to enforce foreign judgments in the Cayman Islands against a Cayman Islands company, subject to some exceptions. However, if investors wish to serve documents on and/or enforce foreign judgments against our Directors and Executive Officers, they will need to ensure that they comply with the rules of the jurisdiction where our Directors and Executive Officers are located. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our Directors and Executive Officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands, see "Enforcement of Civil Liabilities." As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulties in protecting their interests through actions against us or our Directors, Executive Officers or major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, depending on where our Directors and Executive Officers are located.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four (4) months of the end of each financial year. In addition, we intend to publish our financial results on a semi-annual basis through press releases distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. In addition, historically, Rule 3a12-3 under the Exchange Act exempted securities registered by a "foreign private issuer" from Section 16 of the Exchange Act. However, effective March 18, 2026, pursuant to the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act, directors and officers of foreign private issuers are required to comply with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors and officers of a "foreign private issuer" remain exempt from Section 16(b) (short-swing profit liability) and Section 16(c) (short sale prohibitions). As a result of our status as a "foreign private issuer," you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you if you were investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

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

As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last Business Day of an issuer's most recently completed second financial quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on December 31, 2026. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (i) more than 50.0% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents; and (ii) a majority of our Directors or Executive Officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid the loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our Directors, Executive Officers and 10.0% shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer.

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

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

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

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." Because we expect that our Shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, such securities will be covered securities. Although the states are pre-empted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our securities.

**ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES**

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

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

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

**ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY**

**CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE**

***Corporate Structure***

Our Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 27, 2023 under the Companies Act as an exempted company with limited liability. On incorporation, our authorized share capital was US$500,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value of US$0.001 each. On January 8, 2024, the Company's shareholders passed resolutions to effect a 1:4 share sub-division (a "forward stock split") and to change the Company's authorized share capital to $500,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, of a par value of $0.00025 each. Following incorporation, our share capital was held as to approximately 100.0% by Ms. Liao. On January 26, 2024, Ms. Liao, Mr. Ng, Mr. Tang, Ease Joy and Novel Challenge subscribed for approximately 67.00%, 19.00%, 5.00%, 4.50% and 4.50% of the issued share capital of our Company. On December 21, 2023, Ace Champion and Falcon Summit acquired in aggregate 4.95% and 4.95% respectively of our issued share capital as to 7.41% from Ms. Liao and 2.49% from Mr. Ng respectively. Historically, our Group was comprised of SKK Works and SKK M&E. Prior to the Public Offering, we completed a reorganization whereby SKK Group and we were formed and the entire share capital of SKK Works was transferred to SKK Group resulting in our Group being comprised SKK Group, SKK Works and SKK M&E as our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, respectively.

On April 6, 2026, the Company effected a share consolidation on a 10 for 1 ratio. The objective of the share consolidation is to enable the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on Nasdaq. As a result of the share consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company was reduced from 24,375,000 to 2,437,503.

***Organization Chart***

The chart below sets out our corporate structure as at the date of this Annual Report.

![](form20-f_001.jpg)

**Entities**

As of the date of this Annual Report, our Group comprises the Company and its subsidiaries: SKK Group, SKK Works and SKK M&E. A description of our principal subsidiaries is set out below:

**SKK Works**

On October 16, 2013, SKK Works was incorporated in Singapore as a private company limited by shares. SKK Works commenced business in 2013 and is principally engaged in construction installation, with business in communications and power line construction, and also engaged in subsurface utility works including underground piping works, underground utility infrastructure construction and maintenance and HDD works in Singapore. As part of a group reorganization, SKK Works became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company as of January 26, 2024.

**SKK M&E**

On March 1, 2018, SKK M&E was incorporated in Singapore as a private company limited by shares. SKK M&E is principally engaged in construction installation, with business in water and gas pipe-line and sewer construction, and also engaged in subsurface utility works including underground piping works, underground utility infrastructure construction and maintenance, HDD works, sewer rehabilitation, plumbing and sanitary works in Singapore primarily for smaller scale projects. As part of a group reorganization, SKK M&E became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company.

**BUSINESS OPERATIONS**

**Overview**

We are a civil engineering service provider that specializes in subsurface utility works in Singapore. We seek to plan, construct and maintain various public works and infrastructure projects that serve the society and the environment. We have over 10 years of experience in providing civil engineering services to our customers in Singapore in numerous public utility projects, including but not limited to power and telecommunication cable laying works, water pipeline works and sewer rehabilitation works. In the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Group has completed seven (7) and four (4) civil engineering services projects, respectively, and our revenue was approximately $12.9 million and approximately $11.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had civil engineering services projects in progress with total amount of outstanding notional contract sum at approximately $8.9 million. Since January 1, 2024 and up to the date of this Annual Report, we have successfully tendered/quoted for five (5) additional, new civil engineering services projects with total amount of notional contract sum at approximately S$11.3 million.

Our projects are primarily the subsurface work related to projects undertaken by the Public Utilities Board (PUB) and Singapore Telecommunications Limited, which are our major customers. The nature of these projects is related to repairing of pumping mains, sewer maintenance and pipe cable laying. These projects generally take two (2) to three (3) years to complete.

First, we must go through a bidding process whereby the scope, cost and timeline of the job is presented, and we must compete with other similar situated companies to win the business, requiring us to provide very competitive terms and timelines for completion that are expeditious as possible because we are bidding against other providers, but that we believe are still attainable. Typically, if we win a contract, then we finalize the terms of payment, which performance bonds issued by a bank or insurance company and is generally 5.0% of the total contract sum Our customers generally pay us by progress payments pursuant to contract with reference to the percentage of works done or the reaching of specified milestones Our customers normally specify a defect liability period in the contract, during which we are responsible to rectify defects identified at our cost and he defect liability period of our projects typically lasted for 12 to 18 months after the issue of the certificate of practical completion. Our customers may require a warranty period after practical completion during which we are responsible to make good all defects, damages or other faults arising from the choice of materials and the performance of the works which are our responsibilities under the relevant project contracts. The warranty period generally ranges from two (2) to three (3) years after the issue of the certificate of practical completion.

Our Group was co-founded by Mr. Sze, our Chief Executive Officer in 2013, together with, inter alia, Mr. Ng, one of our Executive Directors and our Chief Operating Officer, who together have worked in the provision of civil engineering services for over 26 years. Mr. Sze is very experienced in the provision of civil engineering services and he has been engaging in this business since 1995. As at December 31 2025, we were equipped with a fleet of 15 HDD rigs, 22 excavators, 35 vehicles and a staff over 177 individuals.

Our competitive advantage lies in our ability to manage and execute civil engineering services projects in a timely, reliable and cost-efficient manner, including larger scale and complex projects which involves HDD. Our established track record and experienced management team are key factors that build up our reputation in the local construction industry.

**Our Qualifications and Certifications**

We are registered with the BCA as a (i) Grade GB2 licensed general builder; (ii) Grade C1 contractor under the CW02 (civil engineering) workhead; (iii) Grade L5 contractor under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead; (iv) Grade L1 contractor under the ME11 (mechanical engineering) workhead; and (v) Grade L6 contractor under the SY05 (electrical & electronic materials, products & components), which enable us to undertake public sector projects up to S$6.0 million, S$5.0 million, S$16.0 million, S$0.8 million and unlimited amount in value for each project, respectively. We have already satisfied the financial, personnel and management & development requirements for a Grade L6 contractor under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead, and we are working towards meeting the track record requirement. Our Directors expect that we should meet the track record requirement in late 2023 and was put on hold due to the number of tenders coming out are lesser. Once we are registered as a Grade L6 contractor under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead, we can undertake public sector projects of unlimited contract value.

We are committed to risk management, health and safety standards, quality assurance and environmental impact control. We have been accredited with ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) and bizSAFE Level Star certifications. We did not encounter any (i) material work-related incidents; or (ii) severe or fatal accidents, during the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**Our Business Model**

Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. This field is divided into a number of specialties, each with its own focus and area of expertise, which includes (i) construction engineering that involves the planning and construction of buildings, bridges, roads and other infrastructure; (ii) structural engineering that deals with the design, construction and analysis of structures, such as the safety and stability of buildings and bridges; (iii) environmental engineering that deals with protecting the environment and minimizing the negative impact of human activity on the environment, such as cleaning up contaminated sites, designing systems to reduce pollution or developing plans to mitigate the effects of climate change; (iv) geotechnical engineering that deals with the design and construction of foundations, slopes, tunnels and embankments with the knowledge of soil and rock; and (v) transportation engineering that deals with the planning, design and operation of transportation systems.

Our principal business activity is the provision of civil engineering services to public utility projects in Singapore and we specialize in subsurface utility works, such as power and telecommunication cable laying works, water pipeline works and sewer rehabilitation works.

The following is a breakdown of our revenue in the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 based on the nature of the subsurface utility works projects we undertook during such period:

\* Maintenance works and services and others comprises of revenue from service fee, labor cost charged, rental of machinery and equipment, transportation costs incurred, maintenance works charged, among other things.

Our service scope includes the planning, supervising and management of all aspects of a project, from its inception to completion. The scope of our contracts may require earthworks (such as land clearing, demolition, rock breaking, mass excavation, deep basement excavation, foundation excavation, earth disposal, earth filling and shore protection) and preparation of geotechnical reports, which we normally subcontract to third parties. We acted as the main contractor in over 90% of our contracts (in terms of revenue generated) in the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For the remaining projects, we acted as the subcontractor for main contractors, whose contracts were for the whole public works or infrastructure project and who subcontracted the civil engineering portion to us.

***Cable or pipe laying works***

Underground infrastructure such as telecom and power cable conduits, water lines, sewer lines, gas lines, oil lines, product pipelines and environmental remediation casings can be installed by conventional trenching or HDD. No matter which method to use, we are required to carefully plan a route that causes minimal damage and find a layout that meets our customer's needs, avoids utility lines and minimizes damage to valuable property. In the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Group had generated revenue of approximately $9.5 million and approximately $6.7 million in projects relating to cable or pipe laying works, respectively, accounted for approximately 73.0% and 60.5% of our total revenue in such period.

*Conventional trenching*

Conventional trenching is a method for building or maintaining underground infrastructure which involves digging and excavating a trench in the ground that is eventually deep and long enough to install, construct, maintain or inspect a conduit, pipe or tunnel with the use of excavators. Upon project completion, the underground structure is buried and the surface restored.

*HDD*

HDD is a trenchless method of installing underground infrastructure in a relatively shallow arc or radius with minimal surface disruption. It uses a surface-launched drilling rig that can steer the drill bit along a curved bore path, avoiding obstacles and reducing environmental impact by minimizing extensive open cut trenches. After careful pre-site planning, we will first drill the pilot hole, then followed by expansion of the hole via reaming and then pullback of the drill string which has the cable, pipe or conduit attached to it, thus creating a continuous segment of cable, pipe or conduit underground exposed only at the two initial endpoints.

HDD is a preferred way for installing underground infrastructure as it can be used to cross any number of surface obstacles of varying sizes/depths including waterways, roadways, railroads, wetlands, shore approaches, congested areas, environmentally sensitive areas and areas where other methods (such as conventional trenching and excavating) are costlier or not practical/possible. Apart from offering significant environmental advantages over traditional cut and cover pipeline/utility installations, it also has the following benefits: less traffic disruption, lower cost, deeper and/or longer installation, no access pit, shorter completion times, directional capabilities and environmental safety. We are one of the five (5) major contractors in Singapore for HDD works.

***Pipeline and sewerage repair and maintenance***

We have the technical know-how and the equipment for air-water-jetting and live valve insertion, which are essential for pipeline and sewerage repair and maintenance. In the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Group had generated revenue of approximately $3.2 million and approximately $3.4 million in projects relating to pipeline and sewerage repair and maintenance, respectively, accounted for approximately 24.4% and 30.7% of our total revenue in such period.

 

*Cleaning of drinking water pipes*

Drinking water pipes may be contaminated with sediments such as iron, manganese, lime, humus, sludge, sand and other deposits which may pose the risk of water turbidity, odor and taste nuisance. Our air-water-jetting system can clean drinking water pipes effectively in a reliable way without the use of chemicals and can be carried out practically everywhere without structural measures. Our air-water-jetting system can also offer a choice of different cleaning cycles, matched to the material, diameter and length of the pipe. The cleaning will ensure no turbidity of drinking water, effectively prevent incrustations which in turn will lengthen the maintenance intervals, improve the function of valves, relieves the load on pumps in pump pressure lines and thus also reduces energy costs during operation. During the cleaning, a selected pipe section is separated from the rest of the pipe network. Based on the network parameters, the cleaning section is supplied with air in a controlled manner via a hydrant, which is provided by the computer-controlled air treatment unit of our air-water-jetting system. At the same time, water is supplied by slightly opening a slide valve at the beginning of the line. As a result, the air-water mixture reaches very high flow velocities. The cavitation phenomena that occur cause a jet effect through turbulence, whereby a loosening of the deposits from the pipe walls is achieved and the deposits are flushed out together with the air-water mixture. The process is a constant pressure process, whereby the pressure is always selected lower than the nominal operating pressure and hence there is no danger of pipe bursts.

*Cleaning of wastewater pressure pipelines*

Wastewater pressure pipelines have to be cleaned regularly to remove sediments such as sludge, sand and grease deposits in order to reduce the pumping pressure and increase operational safety. Our air-water-jetting system can clean up wastewater pressure pipelines effectively in a reliable way and can be carried out practically everywhere without structural measures. Our air-water-jetting system offers a wide range of cleaning programs. Specific flushing algorithms are selected depending on the material, diameter, height difference and length of the wastewater pressure pipe. The cleaning is normally done at a pumping station or other suitable location and air and water are introduced into the wastewater pressure pipeline in a computer-controlled manner. During the cleaning, the pipeline is not subject to any additional mechanical loads and hence pump operation can be continued almost without interrupting operation.

*Live valve insertion*

When a water distribution system starts aging, it will require repairs and modernization. For instance, valves are designed to only last about 75 years and valve failure can constitute a serious problem for any water utility as they can lead to service disruption to thousands of customers, including but not limited to critical systems like fire protection, hospitals, data centers and schools. However, removing and replacing inoperable valves can create the potential of system shutdowns which could leave customers without service for extended periods. A live valve insertion is a specialty gate valve inserted into an existing water or wastewater main at where a control point is needed through a single circular hole cut into the water or wastewater main, while the existing pipeline is under working pressure, without interruption of flow or service. The life valve is permanently installed to the pipe, allowing for system control and maintenance in the same manner as a traditional resilient, seated gate valve. As a live valve can be installed and operated easily, it is ideal for planned, routine or emergency maintenance and is an effective, economical and reliable solution to utilities and municipalities that need to ensure that their water infrastructure remains in service, while also upgrading and updating those systems.

***Maintenance works and services and others***

We also provide service fee, labor cost charged, rental of machinery and equipment, transportation costs incurred, maintenance works charged, among other things.

**Our Operations**

***Identification of business opportunities***

As we are a civil engineering service provider that specialize in subsurface utility works, we only engage in public projects. Over 80% of our awarded contracts (in terms of revenue) during the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were obtained through open tenders, and for the remaining projects, our customers send us requests for quotations to seek our services. We obtain information on open tenders from GeBIZ (Singapore Government's one-stop e-procurement portal where suppliers can access public sector business opportunities online). For requests for quotations, such requests are normally made by main contractors through referrals, word of mouth or contacts established from previous tenders/quotations or contracts, and we also receive requests from repeat customers. Our tender department is responsible for fostering, building and maintaining relationships with these existing and potential customers.

***Preliminary tender/quotation processes***

Our tender department takes the lead in the tender/quotation process, and an internal tender/quotation process is initiated when a project director identifies an opportunity for open tender or receives an invitation to quote from a potential customer. Such project director will be in charge of the internal tender/quotation workflow process. Before we decide to tender/quote, our potential customers will typically provide us with documents relevant to the tender/quotation. Tender documents typically consist of conditions of tender, specifications, schedule of rates and a set of submission criteria including time, date and place of submission. Quotation documents typically consist of standard checks, conditions of quotation, specifications, schedule of rates and the timing of submission.

***Tender***

*Tender assessment*

To initiate the internal tender workflow process, the responsible project director will complete a tender brief form which will indicate, among other things, his estimate of the proposed price after assessing the feasibility of the project based on the following points:

● review the customer's requirements, specifications and schedule of the project;

● determine the scope of works required;

● review contractual risks and obligations;

● assess the customer's credit profile to ascertain their ability to pay based on the proposed payment terms;

● review all other risks, including financial, operational, cash flows, political and regulatory; and

● assess whether we can cumulate positive cash flows after we have commenced the project for a designated period and achieve at least the minimum gross profit margin we desire.

This form, together with the tender documents, will be handed to our Chief Executive Officer who, in turn, will evaluate our existing commitments, available resources and competency and then assess, review and decide whether to proceed and allocate resources (if any) for tender preparation. If our Chief Executive Officer decides to proceed with tender preparation, he will assign a reference number and inform the responsible project director to update information regarding the tender in the ongoing tender record list. If the information we collected in relation to the tender does not present favorable contract conditions, our Chief Executive Officer will ask the responsible project director not to proceed with tender preparation.

*Tender preparation*

During tender preparation, the responsible project director will ascertain the pricing of the tender by estimating internal costing and budgetary evaluation on costs such as labor and materials and, where applicable, work with the material suppliers and subcontractors to obtain pricing for base price submission to our Chief Executive Officer. In order to deliver a more precise and cost-effective project proposal, the responsible project director may conduct a site visit to the project location to further assess the complexity of the project requirements. The responsible project director will continue to maintain/develop a relationship with the potential customer to obtain budget and job intelligence and other market intelligence on competitors and forward the relevant information to our Chief Executive Officer for pricing refinement.

Once the base price is determined and submitted to our Chief Executive Officer, he will review and approve the proposed bid price and pricing strategy. After our Chief Executive Officer has agreed on and signed off on the final bid price, the responsible project director will submit the tender to the potential customer based on the final bid price and follow up on the tender outcome (including clarification of tender documents) and provide management updates.

The period from our receipt of tender documents to submission of tender proposal to a potential customer is generally about four (4) to six (6) weeks.

***Quotation***

For projects where we act as a subcontractor, our customers, who are the main contractors, may request quotations from us directly. In these cases, the responsible project director will be responsible for the preparation of the quotation, and the review process will be similar to those described above for tenders.

***Tender/quotation pricing***

We adopt a cost estimate plus mark-up pricing model for pricing our tenders/quotations. Contracts with our major customers are either at (i) fixed prices with a pre-determined quantity and schedule for project completion which generally commit us to provide the resources required to complete a project for a fixed sum; or (ii) notional contract sums, if the quantity for project completion cannot be predetermined, where the work performed will be measured and valued against agreed rates for progress and/or final payment. As such, when deciding on our tender price/quotation, we also make reference to price trends of materials, trends in the labor market, previous tender/quotation records and awarded tender price/quotation of previous similar jobs on top of getting quotations from material suppliers and subcontractors. After we have determined the estimated costs (which will include but not limited to the costs of equipment, materials, subcontractors, labor, professional engineering, safety and environmental measures and insurance cost), we add on our desired profit margin before we propose a tender price/quotation.

***Award of contract***

The period for a tender and a request for quotation to become an awarded contract is generally three (3) to six (6) months and three (3) months, respectively. If the contract is awarded by tender, we will typically enter into a formal contract with our customer. If the contract is awarded by quotation, our customers will either give us a confirmation or issue a purchase order to us.

***Project implementation***

*Formation of operations team and handing over*

After we have been formally awarded with the contract, our tender department in charge of the tender/quotation will hand over the project to our operations department. The handover to the responsible operations team is done over two kick-off meetings.

The first kick-off meeting, which is normally held within five (5) days of the award of the project, will be attended by the responsible operations team, and the responsible project director of our tender department will brief the operations team on the scope of work required, construction phases, contract period, budget and cost structure and any other special requirements of the project.

At the second kick-off meeting, which is normally held within 14 days of the first kick-off meeting, the responsible operations team will evaluate and confirm the feasibility and profitability of the project and achieve a common understanding of the project scope and estimated profit. Following this meeting, the finance team will record details of the project into our accounting system, which sets down the approval required for different types of project expenses and the system for budget control and facilitates us to track real-time project costs.

*Preparation of work plan*

The project manager of the designated operations team will prepare the comprehensive and practical work plan based on customer's specifications, which include detailed particulars of materials, products and/or equipment to be used in the project, and submit the same to our customer for approval. Such project manager will also prepare and submit a master program for the project setting out key milestone dates (e.g., commencement date and date of practical completion) to our customer for approval. The master program is reviewed and updated regularly throughout project implementation.

*Taking out performance bonds and insurance*

For projects where we act as the main contractor, we are typically required to provide performance bonds issued by a bank or insurance company backed by cash or other collaterals and/or guarantees in favor of our customers to secure our performance under contracts, which is common in our industry. The amount of the performance bond required for each project is generally 5.0% of the total contract sum for such project. Our performance bonds normally expire or are released upon completion of the projects or as otherwise specified in the contracts.

In cases in which we are the main contractor, we may be required to take out contractor's all risks, work injury compensation and public liability insurance to comply with the applicable laws and regulations and the requirements under the contracts. However, when we are acting in the capacity of a subcontractor, the main contractor's insurance policies will normally cover us in these areas, and we usually just have to take out insurance policies to cover the exclusions and excesses which we are required to pay under the insurance policies of the main contractor (see "- Insurance" in this section for details).

*Selection of material suppliers and subcontractors*

Our procurement team under the operations department maintains and regularly reviews and updates a list of qualified material suppliers and subcontractors that meet our stringent requirements, including the ability to meet our quality and safety specifications and our time schedule for supply of services and materials. As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately five (5) qualified material suppliers on the list, and we select material suppliers for our projects from this list.

*Procurement process*

Our procurement team is in charge of procurement for project execution, and it is also responsible for budget and supplier management to ensure that the project will meet the contract specifications and follow the schedule within the limit of the agreed budget.

*Project execution process*

An operations team is typically led by a project manager and supported by a project engineer, a site supervisor and procurement staff, and their main responsibilities are as follows:

● project manager – mainly responsible for ensuring that the project is completed on time based on the needs of our customer and within budget, including the budgeting, organization, implementation and scheduling of the project as well as dealing with the internal and external stakeholders of the project;

● project engineer – mainly responsible for managing the project budget, schedule, personnel and technical activities to ensure project accuracy, quality and safety;

● site supervisor – mainly responsible for supervising and monitoring the overall workforce and work progress on site, supervising workmanship and quality on site and coordinating with our outsourced safety officer to implement our integrated quality, health, safety, security and environmental management system which was developed with reference to ISO9001 (quality management) and ISO45001 (occupational health and safety); and

● procurement staff – mainly responsible for material takeoff estimates for the project, dealing with material suppliers and subcontractors and ensuring that their quotations are in compliance with all requirements, and for the preparation of building contracts, progress claims, payment certificates and other documentation relating to our material suppliers and subcontractors.

The operations team conducts regular meetings with subcontractors to ensure that site work progresses according to schedule. Daily site inspections (including visual/photographic inspections and measurements) are conducted to ensure that works are carried out according to proper procedures. Safety and construction quality are our areas of critical focus, and we have appointed external specialist safety and quality teams to closely monitor our work sites during the project execution process. Our Chief Operating Officer, who is in charge of supervising the operation of the project, conducts regular project reviews with the responsible project manager. Our Chief Operating Officer will present and review the project status with our Chief Executive Officer on a bi-monthly basis. In terms of the financial management of the project, our finance manager will prepare six-month cash flow forecasts for the project on a bi-monthly basis and will also review the financial report and forecast results of the project with our Chief Executive Officer on a monthly basis.

We have adopted ISO 9001 (quality management) systems to ensure that the works undertaken by our subcontractors are delivered on schedule and conform with the standards of our customers.

*Progress payment and certification*

Our customers generally pay us by progress payments pursuant to contract with reference to the percentage of works done or the reaching of specified milestones. We generally do not receive any deposit or advance payment from our customers but, depending on the unique circumstances of each project, we may require our customers to pay us a refundable deposit upon the signing of contract. We typically submit a payment application to our customer team summarizing the works done on a monthly basis or after the specified milestone is reached. Our project manager or procurement staff prepares our payment application based on an internal assessment of work progress and quantity of works completed and an estimation of subcontracting costs likely to be incurred. Our customer then assesses our payment application and issues an interim payment certificate to us certifying the percentage of works done or the reaching of the specified milestone. In general, the interim payment certificate is issued within 21 to 30 days from the date of our payment application. We then present our invoice to our customer after our receipt of the interim payment certificate to request for payment. Our customer will, upon receiving our invoice, make payment to us based on the certified amount. In general, such payment is made within 30 to 45 days from the date of the presentation of our invoice to our customer.

*Variation orders*

Customers in general have the right to order variations during the course of a project pursuant to the relevant contract terms. Variation orders may include: (i) additions, omissions, substitutions, alterations, changes in quality, form, character, kind, position or dimension; and (ii) changes to any sequence, method or timing of works, which may result in additional works. The rates for the works under such variation orders follow the schedule of rates as provided in the relevant contracts or the fair value of work, day rates or estimated cost and profit agreed upon between the customer and ourselves. In general, after receiving instruction of a variation order, we make an estimation of the costs likely to be involved and may obtain quotations from our subcontractors, and then we submit a proposed rate for such variation order to our customer for approval. We continue to apply for progress payments for such variation orders during the course of the project.

*Duration*

Our customers fix an expected project duration at the tender/quotation stage. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the duration of most of our civil engineering services projects from commencement to practical completion varied from seven (7) and a half months to five (5) years. If we are aware of any circumstances which may prolong the expected duration of a project, we advise our customers on ways to mitigate any impact from the extra time and cost involved. If the progress of the works is likely to be delayed due to variation orders or certain unforeseen situations, such as inclement weather on the site, we discuss with our customers in estimating the length of the delay and agreeing to a fair and reasonable extension of time for completion.

***Project completion and post completion***

*Practical completion*

Several procedures will follow after the completion of our works, including inspection and rectification works by the operations team and an official handover to the customer. Upon practical completion, our operations team will inspect the completed works to identify defects and instruct rectification works be carried out. After the rectification works are duly completed, we will arrange an official project handover to the customer. Our customer will conduct inspection to check whether the works are satisfactorily completed, and the customer will issue a certificate of practical completion certifying that the project is substantially completed and is approved for handover. Upon the issue of such certificate, the performance bond, if any, is normally released.

*Defect liability period*

Our customers normally specify a defect liability period in the contract, during which we are responsible to rectify defects identified at our cost. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the defect liability period of our projects typically lasted for 12 to 18 months after the issue of the certificate of practical completion. Generally, we require a back-to-back defect liability period from our subcontractors for risk management purposes so that our subcontractors are generally responsible for rectifying the defects in their works or materials procured at their costs.

*Warranty period*

Some of our customers may require a warranty period after practical completion during which we are responsible to make good all defects, damages or other faults arising from the choice of materials and the performance of the works which are our responsibilities under the relevant project contracts. The warranty period could range from two (2) to three (3) years after the issue of the certificate of practical completion. Generally, we require a back-to-back warranty period from our material suppliers and subcontractor and for risk management purposes so that they are generally responsible for rectifying the defects in their works or repairing and replacing the defective materials supplied (as the case may be) at their costs.

There were no material claims made under any warranty we provided to our customers during the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**OUR CUSTOMERS**

Our major customers include a number of government authorities, utility companies or main contractors which specialize in public utility or infrastructure projects in Singapore. Consistent with market practice, our customers normally award contracts to us on a project-by-project basis that are non-recurring in nature. We have not entered into any long-term contracts with any of our customers but, during the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our top five (5) key customers accounted for an aggregate of approximately 96.0%, 90.2% and 87.0%, respectively, of our revenue, and our top key customer accounted for approximately 29.9%, 42.9% and 26.9% of our revenue, respectively.

Some of our equipment and vehicles are aged and are due for replacement and as we intend to take up larger scale civil engineering services projects, we plan to expand our capacity by purchasing more HDD rigs, excavators and vehicles as well as other supporting equipment.

***Enhance and/or expand our workforce and facilities to keep up with our business expansion***

For our expansion, we will intend to expand and enhance our workforce, in terms of both the staff strength and staff skills. We intend to increase the number of workers, including office staff, site staff and vehicle operators, and enhance our staff skills by providing opportunities for them to attend courses. We will also review our remuneration packages to ensure they are sufficiently attractive to acquire and retain a talented workforce. To support a larger workforce, we intend to make addition and alteration works to our existing head office to provide for more office area and additional physical storage facilities to house our equipment. As over 85% of our workforce as at December 31, 2025 were foreign workers, we are building a dormitory at our head office to house our foreign workers to cater for a larger workforce.

***Expand our business through acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances***

Although we have no definitive plans in place to do so, apart from expanding our business through organic growth, we also plan to expand our business through acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances as this will be the most effective and time-efficient way for us to increase our market penetration and expand our customer base. Moreover, we can also achieve cost savings through economies of scale by having a larger operation because the same level of overhead such as human resources, administration and marketing can be utilized by more business units and these in turn will improve our profitability.

While implementing the above strategies and business plans, we will adhere to prudent financial management to ensure sustainable growth and capital sufficiency.

**COMPETITION**

The civil engineering services sector accounted for approximately 7.5% of the construction industry in Singapore (in terms of the value of certified progress payments in the construction industry) in 2022, and this sector is competitive and relatively fragmented. As of April 6, 2026, there were 932 contractors registered with the BCA under the CW02 (civil engineering) workhead (of which 180 are of Grade C1), 523 contractors registered with the BCA under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead (of which 71 are of Grade L5 and 29 are of Grade L6), 996 contractors registered with the BCA under the ME11 (mechanical engineering) workhead (of which 719 are of Grade L1), and 337 contractors registered with the BCA under the SY05 (electrical & electronic materials, products & components) workhead (of which 50 are of Grade L6). Apart from competition from local contractors, there is also competition from many large international players from China, India, Australia and Europe. Frost & Sullivan estimated that there are approximately 200 market participants in the civil engineering services sector that specialize in subsurface utility works in Singapore, with less than 30 market participants that specialize in HDD works and we are one of the five (5) key players for HDD works in Singapore.

**SALES AND MARKETING**

We strive to maintain good business relationships with our customers. Our tender department is generally responsible for fostering, building and maintaining our relationships with customers and keeping abreast of market developments and potential business opportunities. As of December 31, 2025, our tender department consisted of three (3) employees.

**Contracts and Pricing Model**

Approximately 51.0%, 30.9% and 45.3% of our awarded contracts (in terms of revenue) during the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were obtained through an open tender process and the remaining approximately 45.2%, 69.1% and 54.7%, respectively, were through submitting quotations after our customers sent us requests for quotations to seek our services. Depending on the relevant contract terms: (i) we generally receive progress payments from customers within 30 to 45 days after we present our invoices (which are issued after our receipt of the relevant interim payment certificates) to them; and (ii) for projects where we act as the main contractor, we are typically required to provide performance bonds at 5.0% of the total contract sum for such contracts issued by a bank or insurance company backed by cash or other collateral and/or guarantees in favor of our customers to secure our performance under such contracts. We adopt a cost estimate plus mark-up pricing model for pricing our tenders/quotations. Contracts with our major customers are either at (a) fixed-prices with a pre-determined quantity and schedule for project completion, which generally commits us to provide the resources required to complete a project for a fixed sum; or (b) notional contract sums if the quantity for project completion cannot be predetermined where the work performed will be measured and valued against agreed rates for progress and/or final payment.

We typically pay the start-up costs, such as project insurance fees, costs of materials, subcontracting fees and surveying service fees for certain start-up works, in advance of payment from our customers during the first three to four (4) months following the commencement of a project. Apart from the start-up costs, we are typically required to provide performance bonds backed by cash or other collateral and/or guarantees in favor of our customers for an amount equal to 5.0% of the total contract sum in projects where we act as the main contractor. While we typically have to pay the start-up costs and the cash collateral required to secure performance bonds for projects during the first three (3) to four (4) months following the commencement of a project, our customers generally make progress payments pursuant to the contract with reference to the percentage of work done or the reaching of specified milestones and with no advance payment. This could result in a cash flow mismatch. We generally manage the cash flow mismatch by closely monitoring our capital and cash positions, closely managing our progress billings and using available banking facilities. In terms of management of projects, our Chief Operating Officer, who is in charge of supervising the operation of projects, conducts regular project reviews with our project managers. Our Chief Operating Officer generally presents and reviews the status of our projects with our Chief Executive Officer on a bi-monthly basis. In terms of financial management of projects, our finance manager prepares six-month cash flow forecasts for our projects on a bi-monthly basis, and he reviews the financial report and forecast results of our projects with our Chief Executive Officer on a monthly basis.

**Quality Control**

We have a quality control policy and we are committed to complying with and continually improving our quality management system to ensure that we provide quality civil engineering services that consistently meet our customers' expectations, legal requirements and safety standards. Our Group has ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and bizSAFE Level Star certifications.

We maintain an approved vendor list and a vendor is first admitted to our list based on their market reputation, quality, responsiveness, track record, and existence of quality, environmental, health and safety management systems. The approved vendor list is reviewed annually and each approved vendor will be reviewed based on its performance, such as its quality, timeliness, responsiveness and environmental, health and safety record. For incoming purchases at our warehouse, such as spare parts for our trucks and excavators, our operations department will conduct incoming inspections. For incoming purchases at our work sites such as pipes, cables, cement, concrete and drilling fluids, our site supervisors will conduct visual inspections and sample tests. The criteria include ensuring the right quantity, type, grade or size of materials (as the case may be) and evidence of defects such as dent, grease, rust or coating defects.

During the project, our operations department have assigned site supervisors to inspect the works being carried out by our workers and by our subcontractors. In-process inspection includes ensuring that project specifications are met, such as ensuring that there is no damage to the cable, pipe or conduit during retraction for HDD works, adherence to control levels and horizontal alignment for excavation, compaction effort for earth fill works and that no excessive pressure is exerted to the pipes which may cause the pipes to burst during pipeline and sewerage repair and maintenance works. Our site supervisors will also inspect the works completed at each stage to ensure that the relevant requirements are met.

At the completion of the project, our operations staff will conduct a final check before arranging for handover to our customer. The checks include ensuring that all control levels are in accordance with the project specifications. Safety and regulatory requirements are also to be complied with. Our Group has not experienced any material disputes on our projects relating to the quality of our civil engineering services nor significant delay in the delivery of our projects during the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and up to the date of this Annual Report.

**Workplace Safety and Health Policy**

We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of our staff, who are valuable to our Group and to the successful execution of our projects. We have an occupational health and safety management system in place which was developed based on ISO 45001. Due to the nature of the construction industry, incidents at work sites may have detrimental effects on the health and safety of our workers. In cases where we are the subcontractors, the main contractors will have established workplace safety and health procedures which all their subcontractors are required to comply with on-site. For every project, our site supervisor will work with our outsourced safety officer(s) to ensure that workplace safety procedures are complied with by our employees and subcontractors.

We have established a safety and health policy with the following objectives and corresponding measures:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Achievement of an accident-free
 workplace - safe work practices include the provision of safety helmets, safety glasses, respirators, hearing protection, gloves,
 safety harness and safety shoes where necessary and in conformance to the relevant regulations and/or codes of practice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Ensuring that safety and
 health are an integral part of managerial and supervisory position – The relevant project manager or site supervisor is in-charge
 of conducting meetings to address any potential workplace safety and health issues. In projects where we are the subcontractor, we
 will attend the toolbox and safety coordination meetings organized by our customer. In projects where we are the main contractor,
 we have an established safety committee headed by our Chief Executive Officer. We also have site safety committee headed by project
 manager for each project which will convene daily toolbox meetings, weekly co-ordination meetings and any ad-hoc meetings to inform
 of potential hazards.

(iii) Involvement of our staff
 in the decision-making processes through regular communication, consultation and training.

(iv) Provision of a continuous
 program of education and learning to ensure that our staff work in the safest possible manner - A safety orientation briefing is
 conducted for all new staff, in addition to the mandatory Construction Safety Orientation Course (the "CSOC") conducted
 by the MOM and appropriate training courses are also provided for relevant personnel.

(v) Continual improvement of
 occupational safety and health management system at our work sites.

(vi) Identification and control
 of all potential hazards in the workplace through hazard identification and risk analysis - We have a risk management procedure to
 conduct risk assessment in order to reduce risks at source. This involves an assessment of the risks involved, prioritizing of the
 measures to control the potential hazards, implementing these measures, keeping record of the steps taken and a review of the risk
 assessment plan.

(vii) Ensuring that all potential
 accidents or incidents are controlled and prevented - Should there be an accident or incident, it will be reported following our
 reporting procedure, followed by an investigation. There will be an investigation panel and the investigation steps comprise the
 following: (a) obtaining initial information for accident investigation; (b) special considerations for fatal cases; (c) facts gathering;
 (d) facts analysis; and (e) preparation of the accident investigation record for corrective actions to be taken. Subsequent to the
 investigation record, there will be an analysis report to formulate preventive actions.

(viii) Provision of an effective
 injury management and rehabilitation plan for our staff – This is addressed in our occupational health program that includes
 our hearing conservation program, respiratory protection program, eye protection program, industrial dermatitis program and work-related
 injury and strain program.

Our subcontractors must also ensure that their workmen follow strictly to our safety policy or that of the main contractor on site, and have to employ workers who have safety orientation certificates. Such safety orientation certificate is issued after the attendance of safety courses. All foreign workers in the construction sector must attend the CSOC, a full-day course conducted by various training centers accredited by the MOM and obtain a valid CSOC Pass. The CSOC is to (i) ensure that construction workers are familiar with common safety requirements and health hazards in the industry; (ii) educate them on the required measures to prevent accidents and diseases; and (iii) ensure that they are aware of their rights and responsibilities under employment law. Safety equipment such as safety helmets/safety boots and safety belts shall be provided by the subcontractor, and workers who fail to comply shall be removed from the work site. When selecting our subcontractors, we will take their safety standards into consideration. This includes evaluating our subcontractors on their safety management system, their machinery and equipment, their safety track record and safety training records. Subcontractors are also required to be involved in our monthly safety committee meetings and tool box meetings to provide them with updated industry rules and regulations, where applicable.

**INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY**

Our Group has been providing our civil engineering services under the brand name of "SKK". We do not have any registered trademarks but we have registered the domain name <u>https://www.skkworks.com.sg.</u>

We were not involved in any proceedings with regard to, and we have not received notice of any claims or infringement of, any intellectual property rights that may be threatened or pending, in which we may be involved either as a claimant or respondent.

**EMPLOYEES**

At December 31, 2025, we employed a total of 177 persons as compared to 169 employees at December 31, 2024. Over 85% of whom were foreign workers and are mainly from Bangladesh and India.

Employees are not represented by a labor organization or covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our global labor practices and employee relations to be good, and to date, we have not experienced any significant labor disputes.

**INSURANCE**

We maintain machinery and industrial all risks insurance policies covering our equipment and facilities in accordance with customary industry practice. We carry occupational injury, medical, pension, maternity and unemployment insurance for our employees and public liability insurance, in compliance with applicable regulations. We do not carry general business interruption or "key person" insurance. We have determined that the costs of insuring for related risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical. We consider our insurance coverage to be sufficient for our business operations both at home and abroad. We will continue to review and assess our risk portfolio and make any necessary and appropriate adjustments to our insurance practices to align with our needs and with industry practice in Singapore.

**LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

As of the date of this Annual Report, we know of no material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against us or our subsidiaries, nor are we, or any of our subsidiaries, involved as a plaintiff or defendant in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

We may from time to time be subject to various legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation, or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management's time and attention.

**REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT**

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

**Contractors Registration System**

The industry we operate in is regulated by the Building and Construction Authority (the "BCA"), whose primary role is to develop and regulate Singapore's built environment, comprising buildings, structures and infrastructure in Singapore. A built environment includes, among other things, power grids, sewer pipelines, water pipelines and gas pipelines for the distribution of electricity, water and gas from central and substations, as well as the channeling of sewage and waste to a central collection point.

Although business entities which are not registered with the BCA are not precluded from conducting business as contractors or suppliers outside the Singapore public sector, registration in the Contractors Registration System (the "CRS") maintained by the BCA is a pre-requisite to tendering for projects in the Singapore public sector. The CRS is administered by the BCA to serve the procurement needs of government departments, statutory bodies and other public sector organizations including first level sub-contractors involved in government projects. At present, there are seven (7) major categories of registration which may be further sub-classified into six (6) to seven (7) grades depending on the category of registration. The differences in BCA gradings relate to the tendering limits for Singapore public sector projects.

Registration of a contractor with the BCA is dependent on the contractor fulfilling certain requirements such as personnel qualification and the value of previously completed projects. The grade assigned to each contractor is dependent on, among other things, its minimum net worth and paid-up capital. The validity for a first-time registration is for a period of three (3) years. Registration will thereafter lapse automatically unless a renewal application (for a period of three (3) years) is filed and approved by the BCA.

**General Builder License**

The Building Control Act 1989 of Singapore and the Building Control (Licensing of Builders) Regulations 2008 of Singapore set out the requirements for the licensing of builders. All builders carrying out building works where plans are required to be approved by the Commissioner of Building Control (the "CBC") and builders who work in specialist areas which have a high impact on safety will require a builders' license.

There are two (2) types of builder's licenses, namely the GB License and the specialist builder's license. Further, there are two (2) classes of GB License: a GB1 License which authorizes the builder to carry on the business of a general builder generally; and a GB2 License which authorizes the builder to carry on the business of a general builder restricted to contracts or engagements for an estimated final price of each not more than S$6.0 million. Any person who advertises or holds himself out to be or conducts himself in any way or by any means as a person who is authorized to carry on the business of a general builder or a specialist builder, or carries on the business of a general builder or a specialist builder, without a valid GB License or a specialist builder's license (as the case may be) shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to (a) a fine not exceeding S$20,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both; (b) a further fine not exceeding S$500 for each day or part thereof the person fails, without reasonable excuse, to comply with the relevant requirements; and (c) in the case of a continuing offence after the conviction, to a further fine not exceeding S$1,000 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction.

The CBC may by order revoke any GB License or specialist builder's license if he is satisfied that, among other things, (i) the builder has failed to comply with certain conditions of the builder's license; (ii) the builder has been convicted of an offence under the Building Control Act; or (iii) the conduct of any director, manager or employee of the builder (which is a corporation) affords grounds for believing that the builder will not be able to carry on the business of a general builder or specialist builder, as the case may be, in Singapore in accordance with any written law and with honesty and integrity. The CBC may, in any case which he considers that there is no cause of sufficient gravity for revoking any builder's license, (i) suspend the license for a period not exceeding six (6) months; (ii) impose a financial penalty not exceeding S$20,000 on the builder; (iii) censure the builder; or (iv) impose such other direction or restriction as he considers appropriate on the builder's business as a general builder or specialist builder as the case may be.

**Building and Construction Industry Security of Payments**

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2004 of Singapore (the "BCISPA") is administered by the BCA and facilitates payments for construction work done or for related goods or services supplied in the building and construction industry.

Under the BCISPA, any person who has carried out construction work or supplied any goods or services under a contract relating to, among other things, (i) the construction, alteration, repair, restoration, maintenance, extension, demolition or dismantling of buildings or structures that form or are to form part of the land, (ii) the installation in any building, structure or works of fittings that form or are to form part of the land, including systems of heating, lighting, air-conditioning, ventilation, power supply, drainage, sanitation, water supply or fire protection and security or communications systems, (iii) excavation and (iv) the erection, maintenance or dismantling of scaffolding, is entitled to progress payment.

The BCISPA contains provisions relating to, among other things, the amount of the progress payment to which a person is entitled under a contract, the valuation of the construction work carried out under a contract and the date on which a progress payment becomes due and payable. In addition, the BCISPA, amongst others, endorses the following rights:

(i) the right of a claimant (being the person who is or claims to be entitled to a progress payment) who, in relation to a construction contract, fails to receive payment by the due date of an amount that is proposed to be paid by the respondent (being the person who is or may be liable to make a progress payment under a contract to a claimant) and accepted by the claimant, to make an adjudication application in relation to the payment claim. The BCISPA has established an adjudication process by which a person may claim payments due under a contract and enforce payment of the adjudicated amount;

(ii) the right of the claimant to suspend the carrying out of construction work or supply or goods and services, and to exercise a lien over goods supplied by the claimant to the respondent that are unfixed and which have not been paid for, or to enforce the adjudication determination in the same manner as a judgment or an order of the court with the permission of the court, if amongst others, such claimant is not paid after the adjudicator has determined that the respondent shall pay an adjudicated amount to the claimant; and

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

**Employees**

**Employment Act**

The Employment Act 1968 of Singapore, or the Singapore EA, sets out the basic terms and conditions of employment and the rights and responsibilities of employers as well as employees. With effect from 1 April 2019, the Singapore EA extends to all employees, including persons employed in managerial or executive positions, with certain exceptions.

The Singapore EA prescribes certain minimum conditions of service that employers are required to provide to their employees, including (i) minimum days of statutory annual and sick leave; (ii) paid public holidays; (iii) statutory protection against wrongful dismissal; (iv) provision of key employment terms in writing; and (v) statutory maternity leave and childcare leave benefits. In addition, certain statutory protections relating to overtime and hours of work are prescribed under the Singapore EA, but only apply to limited categories of employees, such as an employee (other than a workman) who is not employed in a managerial or executive position and who receives a salary of up to S$2,600 a month ("relevant employee"). Section 38(8) of the Singapore EA provides that a relevant employee is not allowed to work for more than 12 hours in any one day except in specified circumstances, such as where the work is essential to the life of the community, defense or security. In addition, section 38(5) of the Singapore EA limits the extent of overtime work that a relevant employee can perform, to 72 hours a month.

Other employment-related benefits which are prescribed by law include (i) contributions to be made by an employer to the Central Provident Fund, under the Central Provident Fund Act 1953 of Singapore in respect of each employee who is a citizen or permanent resident of Singapore; (ii) the provision of statutory maternity, paternity, childcare, adoption, unpaid infant care and shared parental leave benefits (in each case subject to the fulfilment of certain eligibility criteria) under the Child Development Co-savings Act 2001 of Singapore; (iii) statutory protections against dismissal on the grounds of age, and statutory requirements to offer re-employment to an employee who attains the prescribed minimum retirement age, under the Retirement and Re-employment Act 1993 of Singapore; and (iv) statutory requirements relating to work injury compensation, and workplace safety and health, under the Work Injury Compensation Act 2019 of Singapore and the Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006 of Singapore, respectively.

**Employment of Foreign Workers in Singapore**

The employment of foreign workers in Singapore is governed by the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990 of Singapore (the "EFMA") and regulated by MOM.

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

The availability of the foreign workers to various sectors is also regulated by the MOM through the following policy instruments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) approved source countries
 or regions;

(ii) the imposition of security
 bonds and levies;

(iii) dependency ceilings based
 on the ratio of local to foreign workers; and

(iv) work permit conditions.

Before applying for work permits for its foreign workers, a company must first declare its business activity to the MOM using the MOM's online service. After the company declares its business activity, the MOM will assign the company to the most relevant sector. Each sector has sector-specific rules in relation to the employment of foreign workers and the company's sector will determine the number of work permit holders that it can employ. To declare its business activity, the company must have a CPF account, contribute CPF for its local workers for at least 1 month before declaring its business activity, and submit copies of the relevant licenses to the MOM. After a company submits the online application to declare its business activity, the MOM may request for additional information and documents, such as the BCA Builder License for companies which have applied to declare construction as their business activity.

**Approved source countries**

The approved source countries and regions for construction sector workers are Malaysia, the PRC, NTS and North Asian Sources ("NAS"). NTS countries/regions include countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar and the Philippines. NAS countries / regions include Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea and Taiwan.

The MOM requires all new workers from NTS countries and the PRC in the construction sector to possess either the Skills Evaluation Certificate (the "SEC") or the Skills Evaluation Certificate (Knowledge) ("SEC (K)") before they are allowed to work in Singapore. The SEC and SEC (K) schemes are initiated by the BCA to raise the skill levels and productivity of the construction sector's workforce, and enhance safety in the construction sector.

With respect to NTS and PRC construction sector workers, basic skilled workers (i.e. those holding SEC or SEK(K)) would be allowed to work up to a maximum of 14 years in Singapore on a work permit, while higher skilled workers (i.e. those who have been upgraded through various means) would be allowed to work up to 26 years in Singapore on a work permit. NAS and Malaysian work permit workers do not have a maximum period of employment. All foreign workers in the construction sector can only work in Singapore until they reach the age of 60, regardless of their country of origin.

In addition, for each individual's work permit, an in-principle approval has to be sought from the MOM. Upon receipt of the in-principle approval, a foreign construction sector worker is required to undergo a medical examination by a doctor registered in Singapore (generally within 2 weeks of his arrival in Singapore unless required to undergo the MOM's Onboard centre residential onboarding programme) and must pass such medical examination before a work permit can be issued to him.

Further, all non-Malaysian work permit holders in the construction sector are required to attend the Settling-in Programme to learn about their employment rights, social norms in Singapore and other useful information before their work permits can be issued. The programme is to be completed within 2 weeks of the worker's arrival in Singapore (for female construction workers) or at the MOM's Onboard centre upon arrival (for male construction workers).

All foreign workers in the construction sector must attend the Apply Workplace Safety and Health in Construction Sites (the "AWSHCS") training course, formerly known as the Construction Safety Orientation Course (the "CSOC"), a two-day course conducted by various training centres accredited by the MOM and/or designated overseas training centres. The AWSHCS/CSOC is to (i) ensure that construction workers are familiar with common safety requirements and health hazards in the industry; (ii) educated on the required measures to prevent accidents and diseases; and (iii) ensure that they are aware of their rights and responsibilities under employment law. Employers must ensure that the foreign workers attend the course within two (2) weeks of their arrival in Singapore before their work permits can be issued. At the end of the course, the workers will receive a safety orientation pass if they pass its requirement/assessment. Employers who fail to ensure that their workers take and pass the AWSHCS/CSOC will be barred from applying for any new work permits for three (3) months, while the affected workers will have their work permits revoked.

**Security bonds and levies**

For each NAS, NTS or PRC construction sector worker who has obtained a work permit, a security bond of S$5,000 in the form of a banker's guarantee or insurance guarantee is required to be furnished to the Controller of Work Passes. The security bond must be furnished prior to the foreign worker's arrival in Singapore, failing which, entry into Singapore will not be allowed.

The employment of foreign workers is also subject to the payment of monthly levies. The levy is a pricing mechanism to regulate the number of foreign manpower in Singapore. For the construction sector employers pay the requisite levy according to the qualification of the foreign workers employed.

**Dependency ceilings**

The dependency ceiling in relation to work permit holders employed in the construction sector is currently set at a ratio of one full-time local worker who earns at least the Local Qualifying Salary of S$1,400 per month (the "LQS") to five (5) work permit holders. This means that for every full-time Singaporean or Singapore Permanent Resident employed by the company in the construction sector and whose salary is at least the LQS, the company can employ five (5) work permit holders.

**Conditions of work permits**

Employers are required to comply with the conditions of the work permits (the "Conditions"), such as the requirement to provide acceptable accommodation for their foreign workers. Other Conditions which employers of foreign construction sector workers are also required to comply with include (i) ensuring that the foreign worker performs only those construction sector activities specified in the Conditions; (ii) ensuring that the foreign worker is not sent to work for any other person, except as provided for in the Conditions; (iii) providing safe working conditions for their foreign workers; and (iv) purchasing and maintaining medical insurance with coverage of at least S$60,000 per 12-month period of the foreign worker's employment (or for such shorter period where the worker's period of employment is less than 12 months) for the foreign worker's in-patient care and day surgery except as the Controller of Work Passes may otherwise provide by notification in writing.

Apart from the EFMA, an employer of foreign workers is also subject to, amongst others, the provisions as set out in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Employment Act, the
 requirements of which are set out above; and

(ii) the Immigration Act 1959
 of Singapore (the "Immigration Act") and the regulations issued pursuant to the Immigration Act.

**Workplace Safety and Health Act**

The Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006 of Singapore (the "WSHA") is administered by the MOM. Under the 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 persons at work 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 those persons, ensuring that those persons are not exposed to hazards arising out of the arrangement, disposal, manipulation, organization, processing, storage, transport, working or use of things in their workplace or near their workplace and under the control of the employer, developing and implementing procedures for dealing with emergencies that may arise while those persons are at work and ensuring that those persons at work have adequate instruction, information, training and supervision as is necessary for them to perform their work.

More specific duties imposed on employers are laid out in the Workplace Safety and Health (General Provisions) Regulations (the "WSHR"). Some of these duties include taking effective measures to protect persons at work from the harmful effects of any exposure to any infectious agents or bio-hazardous material which may constitute a risk to their health.

Under the WSHA, inspectors appointed by the Commissioner for Workplace Safety and Health (the "CWSH") may, among others, enter, inspect and examine any workplace, to inspect and examine 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 relevant to an investigation or inquiry under the WSHA.

Under the WSHA, the CWSH may issue a stop-work order in respect of a workplace if he is satisfied that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the workplace is in such
 condition, or is so located, or any part of the machinery, equipment, plant or article 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;

(b) any person has contravened
 any duty imposed by the WSHA; or

(c) any person has done any

**Workmen's Compensation**

The Work Injury Compensation Act 2019 of Singapore (the "WICA"), which is regulated by the MOM, applies to all employees in all industries who are engaged under a contract of service, with the exception of domestic workers, and members of the Singapore Armed Forces, Singapore Police Force, Singapore Civil Defence Force, Central Narcotics Bureau and Singapore Prison Service. The WICA is in regard to injury suffered by them in the course of their employment and sets out, amongst others, the amount of compensation they are entitled to and the method(s) of calculating such compensation.

The WICA provides that the employer shall be liable to pay compensation under the WICA if personal injury is caused to an employee by accident arising out of and in the course of the employee's employment with the employer. The Work Injury Compensation (Insurance) Regulations 2020 provides that employers are required to maintain work injury compensation insurance for all employees doing manual work regardless of salary level and non-manual employees earning S$2,600 or less a month (excluding any overtime payment, bonus payment, annual wage supplement, productivity incentive payment and any allowance however described), who are engaged under contracts of service (unless exempted).

The WICA does not cover self-employed persons or independent contractors. However, as the WICA provides that, where any person (referred to as the principal) in the course of or for the purpose of his trade or business contracts with any other person (referred to as the subcontractor employer), the principal shall be liable to compensate those employees of the subcontractor employer who were injured while employed in the execution of work for the principal.

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

Under the WICA, every employer is required to insure and maintain insurance under approved policies with an insurer against all liabilities which he may incur under the provisions of the WICA in respect of all employees employed by it, unless specifically exempted.

**ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS**

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this Annual Report contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Annual Report. You should carefully read the "Risk Factors" section of this Annual Report in Item 3D to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

**OVERVIEW**

We are a civil engineering service provider that specialize in subsurface utility works in Singapore and we have participated in numerous public utility projects, including but not limited to power cable and telecommunication cable laying works, water pipeline works and sewer rehabilitation works. We were founded in 2013 by Mr. Sze, our Chief Executive Officer, together with, among others, Mr. Ng, one of our Executive Directors and our Chief Operating Officer. Our Executive Officers including Mr. Sze, Mr. Ng, Mr. Wong and Mr. Tang, have over 28, 26, 18 and 15 of experience in the field, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we were equipped with a fleet of 15 HDD rigs, 22 excavators and 35 vehicles and a staff over 177. We are one of the five (5) major contractors in Singapore for HDD works.

For the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net revenue amounted to approximately $12.9 million and approximately $11.1 million, respectively, of which revenue from cable or pipe laying works accounted for approximately $9.5 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and approximately $6.7 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Revenue from pipeline and sewerage repair and maintenance accounted for approximately $3.2 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and approximately $3.4 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and revenue from other services accounted for approximately $0.3 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and approximately $1.0 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

Our net loss amounted to approximately $2.9 million and our net income amounted to approximately $0.4 million for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For the financial years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our net revenue amounted to approximately $11.1 million and approximately $9.7 million, respectively, of which revenue from cable or pipe laying works accounted for approximately $6.7 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 and approximately $5.8 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Revenue from pipeline and sewerage repair and maintenance accounted for approximately $3.4 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 and approximately $2.4 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and revenue from other services accounted for approximately $1.0 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 and approximately $1.4 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

Our net income amounted to approximately $0.4 million and approximately $0.2 million for the financial years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**KEY FACTORS AFFECTING THE RESULTS OF OUR GROUP'S OPERATIONS**

Our financial condition and results of operation have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, including those factors set out in the section headed "Risk Factors" in this Annual Report and those set out below.

●  ***Demand from our major customer groups*** – Our aggregate sales generated from our top five (5) key customers were approximately 96.0%, 90.2% and 87.0% of our revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In particular, sales to our top key customer amounted to approximately $3.9 million, approximately $4.9 million and approximately $2.6 million, representing approximately 29.9%, approximately 42.9% and 26.9%, of our revenue for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our sales are significantly affected by the demands of our top key customer due to vigorous price competition in cost of labor to complete the project contract within the project's timeline.

●  ***Fluctuations in the cost of our revenues*** – Material costs, subcontracting costs, project related employee benefits expenses and miscellaneous project expenses are the largest part of our cost of revenue, representing approximately 66.8%, 55.5% and 63.7% of our total cost of revenues for the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Specifically, the costs at which we can complete our project contracts are determined mainly by the demand and supply in labor markets and the manpower regulations in this industry. Fluctuations in the price, availability, quality, cost of labor and professional services will impact the completion of the project contracts, and ultimately in the overall projects margins. We are unable to pass all or any of these higher costs on to our customers, as such, such fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

●  ***Competitive market* -** The subsurface works industry in Singapore is highly regulated, with strict safety and environmental standards, and companies are expected to have a strong track record of delivering high-quality projects. As of April 6, 2026, there were 932 contractors registered with the BCA under the CW02 (civil engineering) workhead (of which 180 are of Grade C1), 523 contractors registered with the BCA under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead (of which 71 are of Grade L5 and 29 are of Grade L6), 996 contractors registered with the BCA under the ME11 (mechanical engineering) workhead (of which 719 are of Grade L1), and 337 contractors registered with the BCA under the SY05 (electrical & electronic materials, products & components) workhead (of which 50 are of Grade L6) . The industry players generally compete with each other on market position, industry reputation, track record and relationship with project owners and main contractors, as well as financial standing. Some of our competitors may have more manpower and resources, more qualifications entitling them to provide a wider scope of integrated building envelope solution services, longer operating histories, more financial strength, stronger relationships with clients and owners and more established brand names and market recognition than we have. When we price our tenders/quotations or fix contract prices with our clients and owners, we may face keen competition and significant downward pricing pressure, thereby reducing our profit margins, which will have an adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations.

●  ***Labor shortages* -** Our business is highly dependent on foreign workers as the local construction labor force is of limited supply and more costly. As of December 31, 2025, over 85% of our workforce was made up of foreign employees (including site workers and other employees). Any shortage in the supply of foreign workers, increase in FWL for foreign workers, or restriction on the number of foreign workers that we can employ will adversely affect our operations and financial performance. The supply of foreign labor in Singapore is highly regulated under the policies and restrictions imposed by the MOM.

●  ***Inflation risk* -** Inflationary factors, such as increases in material costs, subcontracting costs, project related employee benefits expenses and miscellaneous project expenses, could impair our operating results. A high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the revenues do not increase with such increased costs.

●  ***Financial impact of COVID-19*** - The COVID-19 pandemic caused general business disruptions in Singapore and the rest of the world. We expect that the onset of another pandemic would impede our ability to conduct our business due to supply chain issues, stay at home mandates, decreased economic activity that slows or halts development projects that we work on, and labor shortages.

For the financial year ended December 31, 2023, our income tax decreased to approximately $0.1 million and our effective tax rate, calculated as income tax divided by profit before income tax, was approximately 39.3% due to the decrease on non-deductible expenses. Such income tax decrease was generally in line with the increase in our profit for the financial year.

**Net Income**

As a result of the foregoing, our net income amounted to approximately $0.4 million and approximately $0.2 million for the financial years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our liquidity and working capital requirements have primarily related to our operating expenses. Historically, we have met our working capital and other liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of cash generated from our operations and loans from banking facilities. Going forward, we expect to fund our working capital and other liquidity requirements from various sources, including but not limited to cash generated from our operations, loans from banking facilities, the net proceeds from the Public Offering and other equity and debt financings as and when appropriate.

In addition, the related parties disclosed in notes to the consolidated financial statements, undertake that they will not demand the repayment of the amounts due from the Company amounting to approximately $7.0 million until the Company's resources permit.

We did not charge any interest on or hold any collateral as security over these accounts receivable balances. We generally offer credit periods of 30 to 90 days to our customers. We have not had, and do not expect to have, issues collecting payment from these longer ageing invoices.

The following table sets forth the ageing analysis of our accounts receivable, net, based on the invoiced date as of the dates mentioned below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |

| More than 150 days | 28 | 180 |
|  | **2458** | **1881** |

---

We have a policy for determining the expected credit loss based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts receivable and on management's judgement, including the change in credit quality, the past collection history of each customer and the current market condition.

The expected credit loss for accounts receivable related to a general provision for accounts receivable applying the simplified approach to providing for the expected credit loss(es) (the "ECL(s)"). Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of default. An ECL rate is calculated based on historical loss rates of the industry in which our customers operate and ageing of the accounts receivable.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, other than the expected credit loss discussed above, no impairment loss was provided for amounts that were past due.

***Accounts payable***

The general credit terms from our major suppliers are payment within 30 days. Our accounts payable were approximately $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and approximately $0.6 million as of December 31, 2024. We generally pay our accounts payable within 30 days of receipt of invoice.

We did not have any material default in payment of accounts payable during the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**Material Cash Requirements**

Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect to facility leases and other operating leases. We lease all our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. We have limited credit available from our major vendors and are required to prepay the majority of our inventory purchases, which further constrains our cash liquidity.

We had the following contractual obligations and lease commitments as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Contractual Obligations** | **Total** | **Less than**<br> **1 year** | **More than 1**<br> **Year** |
|  | **$'000** | **$'000** | **$'000** |
| Lease commitment | 2977 | 744 | 2233 |
| Bank loan repayment | 8927 | 1955 | 6972 |
| **Total obligations** | **11904** | **2699** | **9205** |

---

We believe that we have sufficient working capital for our requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Annual Report, absent unforeseen circumstances, taking into account the financial resources presently available to us, including cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows from our operations and the net proceeds from the Public Offering.

**Off-Balance Sheet Transactions**

As of December 31, 2025, we have not entered into any material off-balance sheet transactions or arrangements.

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders' equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management's difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate differ significantly from management's current judgments. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements: (1) Revenue recognition; (2) Allowance for expected credit losses on receivables; and (3) Stock-based compensation.

Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting estimates involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Revenue recognition

The Company adopted the revenue standard *Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, starting January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of the date of adoption. The adoption of this *ASC 606* did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 1, the Company provides civil engineering services to clients in numerous public utility projects, including but not limited to electrical and telecommunication cable laying works, water pipeline works and sewer rehabilitation works. The Company enters into agreements with clients that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as goods and services transfer to the clients. It is customary practice for the Company to have written agreements with its clients and revenue on oral or implied arrangements is generally not recognized.

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

Allowance for expected credit losses on receivables

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requires entities to use a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets. Using this methodology will result in earlier recognition of losses than under the current incurred loss approach, which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of having been incurred. There are other provisions within the standard that affect how impairments of other financial assets may be recorded and presented, and that expand disclosures. The Company applied an allowance for expected credit losses to contracts receivables based on expected credit loss methodology as in line with the said standard.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payment awards in accordance with *ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation*. The Company measures equity-classified share-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. The grant date is the date on which the Company and the grantee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the award.

Equity-classified stock-based compensation awards are measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments. The grant-date fair value of equity-classified awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period), with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

The amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and the Company's estimate of the number of awards expected to vest. Estimates of forfeitures are incorporated into the recognition of compensation cost, and the Company revises its estimates of expected forfeitures at each reporting date. The impact of any change in estimate is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Market conditions are reflected in the grant-date fair value and do not affect the number of awards expected to vest. Performance conditions are considered in determining the number of awards expected to vest, and compensation cost is recognized only if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

Upon settlement or exercise of awards, the balance in additional paid-in capital relating to those awards is reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

**Impact of Inflation**

According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the "MAS"), the year-over-year percentage changes in the consumer price index for 2024 and 2024 were 0.7% and 2.4%, respectively as reported by the MAS at https://www.mas.gov.sg/news/monetary-policy-statements/2026/mas-onetary-policy-statement-29jan26. Inflation in Singapore has not materially affected our profitability and operating results. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be unaffected by higher inflation rates in Singapore or globally in the future.

**Seasonality**

We have not observed any significant seasonal trends. Our Directors believe that there is no apparent seasonality factor affecting the industry in which our Group is operating.

**Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

***Interest Rate Risk***

We are exposed to interest rate risk while we have short-term bank loans outstanding. Although interest rates for our short-term loans are typically fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically 12 months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.

***Credit Risk***

Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. We manage credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the relevant economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. We identify credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. In measuring the credit risk of our sales to our customers, we mainly reflect the "probability of default" by the customer on its contractual obligations and consider the current financial position of the customer and the current and likely future exposures to the customer.

***Liquidity Risk***

We are also exposed to liquidity risk, which is risk that we will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to financial institutions and related parties to obtain short-term funding to cover any liquidity shortage.

***Foreign Currency Exchange Risk***

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in U.S. dollars. However, the Company and its subsidiaries are operating in Singapore, maintain their books and record in their local currency, Singapore dollars, and almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Singapore dollars. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in Singapore dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the financial year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholders' equity. We do not currently hedge for currency fluctuations with our foreign subsidiaries.

**ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our share capital by:

● each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5.0% of our shares;

● each of our named Executive Officers;

● each of our Directors; and

● all of our current Executive Officers and Directors as a group.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 24,375,000 Ordinary Shares of our Company issued and outstanding as the date of this Annual Report, which reflects our shares outstanding prior to the 10 for 1 share consolidation that took effect on April 6, 2026.

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than 1 person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our shares listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed on the table is 27 First Lok Yang Road Singapore 629735.

**ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION**

We adopted our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association on February 5, 2024. The following are summaries of material provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares.

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

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

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

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

● at least three (3) shareholders present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting;

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

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

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

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

Shareholders' general meetings may be convened by the chairperson of our Board of Directors or by a majority of our Board of Directors. Advance notice of not less than ten clear days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders' meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of, at the time when the meeting proceeds to business, two (2) shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-third of all votes attaching to issued and outstanding shares in our company entitled to vote at such general meeting.

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

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

Our Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our Board of Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

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

● the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares;

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

● in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four (4); and

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

If our Directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within two (2) months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

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

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

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

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

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

*Issuance of Additional Shares.* Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association authorizes our Board of Directors to issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as our Board of Directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

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

● the designation of the series;

● the number of shares of the series;

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

● the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

Our Board of Directors may issue preference shares without action by our shareholders to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

● does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

● may issue shares with no par value;

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

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

● may register as an exempted limited duration company; and

● may register as a segregated portfolio company.

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

**Differences in Corporate Law**

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

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

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

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

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

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved (i) in the case of a shareholder scheme, by 75% in value of the members or class of members, as the case may be, with whom the arrangement is to be made and (ii) in the case of a creditor scheme only, by a majority in number of each class of creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent 75% in value of each such class of creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

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

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

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

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

The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the "squeeze out" of a dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four (4) months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our Directors and Executive Officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

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

*Directors' Fiduciary Duties*. Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two (2) components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

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

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

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

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

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

*Removal of Directors*. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, subject to certain restrictions as contained therein, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. An appointment of a director may be on terms that the director shall automatically retire from office (unless he has sooner vacated office) at the next or a subsequent annual general meeting or upon any specified event or after any specified period in a written agreement between the company and the director, if any; but no such term shall be implied in the absence of express provision. Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, a director's office shall be vacated if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our Board of Directors, is absent from three (3) consecutive meetings of the board and the board resolves that his office be vacated; (v) is prohibited by law from being a director or; (vi) is removed from office pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

*Transactions with Interested Shareholders*. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested shareholder" for three (3) years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15.0% or more of the target's outstanding voting share within the past three (3) years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target's board of directors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

**Material Contracts**

Our material contracts, other than those entered into in the ordinary course of business, are described in Item 4, Item 6 and Item 7 or elsewhere in this Annual Report.

**Dividends and Dividend Policy**

No dividends have been declared or paid by the companies comprising our Group for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

We have adopted a dividend policy, according to which our board of directors shall take into account, among other things, the following factors when deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount: (a) operating and financial results; (b) cash flow situation; (c) business conditions and strategies; (d) future operations and earnings; (e) taxation considerations; (f) interim dividend paid, if any; (g) capital requirement and expenditure plans; (h) interests of shareholders; (i) statutory and regulatory restrictions; (j) any restrictions on payment of dividends; and (k) any other factors that our board may consider relevant. The payment of dividends, in certain circumstances is also subject to the approval of our Shareholders, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and our Articles of Association as well as any other applicable laws. Currently, we do not have any predetermined dividend distribution ratio.

Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, we are a holding company and depend on the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares.

**Exchange Controls**

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

**Material Income Tax Considerations**

The following summary of certain Cayman Islands and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state and local tax laws or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands and the United States. The Company does not conduct operations in the PRC and has no PRC operating entities. Accordingly, a discussion of PRC tax regulation is not applicable. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local or foreign law of the ownership of our Ordinary Shares. To the extent that this discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it is the opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law.

**Cayman Islands Tax Considerations**

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

We have received an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law that thereafter is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax or duty to be levied on profits, income or on gains or appreciation shall apply to our Company or its operations; and that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (a) on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of our Company; or (b) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act of the Cayman Islands.

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

**United States Federal Income Tax Considerations**

The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below) that acquire our Ordinary Shares in the Public Offering and hold our Ordinary Shares as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This discussion is based upon existing United States federal income tax law which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular investors in light of their specific circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (for example, certain financial institutions (including banks), cooperatives, pension plans, insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, partnerships and their partners, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), investors who are not U.S. Holders, investors who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10.0% or more of our stock (by vote or value), investors that will hold their Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, or U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this discussion does not discuss any non-United States tax, state or local tax, or non-income tax (such as the U.S. federal gift or estate tax) considerations, or any consequences under the alternative minimum tax or Medicare tax on net investment income. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in our Ordinary Shares.

***General***

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

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

***Dividends***

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

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

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

***Sale or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares***

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

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

***Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations***

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

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

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three (3) preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the Ordinary Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of Ordinary Shares. Under the PFIC rules:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

**ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to the JOBS Act, we qualify as an "emerging growth company as we recorded revenues less than US$1.235 billion in our most recent fiscal year, which allows us to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the assessment of the emerging growth company's internal control over financial reporting.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the "Certifying Officer"), conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

**Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 using the criteria established in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statement for the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 and determined they were not effective. The material weakness identified relates to insufficient accounting personnel with appropriate experience and knowledge to address complex accounting matters in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The material weakness, if not remediated timely, may lead to material misstatements in its consolidated financial statements in the future.

To remedy the identified material weakness, we took several measure to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including, among others: (1) recruiting more qualified personnel equipped with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and to set up a financial and system control framework, (2) implementing regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training programs for its accounting and financial reporting personnel, (3) enhancing oversight over and clarifying reporting requirements for, non-recurring and complex transactions to ensure consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are accurate, complete and in compliance with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, (4) recruiting more qualified internal control personnel with experience in the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and adopting accounting and internal control guidance on U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting, and (5) preparing more detailed guidance and manuals on financial closing policies and procedures to improve the quality and accuracy of period-end financial closing process.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

During the financial year ended December 31, 2025, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting period covered by this Annual Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting other than the matter noted above.

**ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES**

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, our Audit Committee is required to comply with the provisions of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, which is applicable to U.S. companies listed on Nasdaq. Therefore, we have a fully independent Audit Committee in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. However, because we are a foreign private issuer, our audit committee is not subject to additional Nasdaq corporate governance requirements applicable to listed U.S. companies, including the requirements to have a minimum of three (3) members and to affirmatively determine that all members are "independent," using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer.

We presently do not engage third parties to assist with evaluating the effectiveness of our risk-management and cybersecurity practices. The Company did not have any material cybersecurity breaches for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Audit Committee is the governance body involved in, and ultimately responsible for, cybersecurity oversight. They will generally coordinate with our Chief Financial Officer in this regard. If needed, the full Board would be updated on cybersecurity risks and incidents. None of our directors on the Audit Committee nor our Chief Financial Officer have particular experience in cybersecurity matters.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of <br> SKK Holdings Limited

**Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SKK Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows in each of the years for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows in each of the years for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of our management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Reorganization

Since 2023, the Company completed several transactions for the purposes of a group reorganization, as below:-

On February 28, 2023, Ms. Liao and Mr. Ng (initial shareholders) and Ace Champion entered into the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which Ace Champion acquired 4.95% shareholding interest of SKK Group (representing approximately 120,285 shares in SKK Group) from Ms. Liao.

On February 23, 2023, Ms. Liao and Mr. Ng (initial shareholders) and Falcon Summit entered into the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which Falcon Summit acquired 4.95% shareholding interest of SKK Group (representing approximately 120,285 shares in SKK Group) from Ms. Liao and Mr. Ng.

SKK Holdings was incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability on March 27, 2023 and the initial 1 share ("Initial Share") was transferred to Ms. Liao on the same date. The initial authorized share capital of SKK Holdings was 500,000,000 Shares of a par value of $0.001 each. On December 21, 2023, Ms. Liao, Mr. Ng, Mr. Tang, Ease Joy, and Novel Challenge to subscribe for 1,457,541 Shares; 413,558 Shares; 121,500 Shares; 218,700 Shares and 218,700 Shares respectively for cash at par, representing approximately 59.98%, 17.02%, 5.00%, 9.00% and 9.00% of the issued share capital of the SKK Holdings respectively.

On the assumption the Election is made, Ms. Liao transferred 240,570 Shares in SKK Holdings (representing approximately 4.95% of the issued share capital of SKK Holdings) to Ace Champion in lieu of transferring shares in SKK Works to Ace Champion and Ms. Liao and Mr. Ng transferred 134,720 Shares and 105,850 Shares in SKK Holdings (representing in aggregate approximately 4.95% of the issued share capital of SKK Holdings) respectively to Falcon Summit in lieu of transferring shares in SKK Works to Falcon Summit). Following such transfer, SKK Holdings is held as to 1,082,252 Shares; 307,708 Shares; 121,500 Shares; 240,570 Shares; 240,570 Shares; 218,700 Shares and 218,700 Shares by Ms. Liao, Mr. Ng, Mr. Tang, Ace Champion, Falcon Summit, Ease Joy and Novel Challenge respectively representing approximately 44.54%, 12.66%, 5.00%, 9.90%, 9.90%, 9.00% and 9.00% respectively.

Mr. Ng, Ms. Liao, Mr. Tang and the Company entered into a reorganization agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Ng, Ms. Liao and Mr. Tang had on January 26, 2024 transferred their respective shares in the capital of SKK Works, representing in aggregate 100.0% of the issued share capital of SKK Works, to the Company's nominee, SKK Group. In consideration thereof, the Company had allotted and issued 1,798,200 Shares, 510,300 Shares and 121,500 Shares of the Company to Ms. Liao, Mr. Ng and Mr. Tang respectively, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the reorganization agreement.

Upon completion of the reorganization exercise, SKK Works is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SKK Group, which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Consequently, SKK M&E, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of SKK Works, also became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is held by Ms. Liao, Mr. Ng, Mr. Tang, Ace Champion, Falcon Summit, Ease Joy and Novel Challenge as to 2,880,452 Shares; 818,008 Shares; 243,000 Shares; 240,570 Shares; 240,570 Shares; 218,700 Shares and 218,700 Shares respectively, representing approximately 59.27%, 16.83%, 5.00%, 4.95%, 4.95%, 4.50% and 4.50% of the issued share capital of the Company, respectively.

During the years presented in these consolidated financial statements, the control of the entities has remained under the control of Ms. Liao, Mr. Ng, and Mr. Tang. Accordingly, the combination has been treated as a corporate restructuring ("Reorganization") of entities under common control and thus the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time and in accordance with *ASC 805-50-45-5*, the entities under common control are presented on a combined basis for all periods to which such entities were under common control. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE－2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

These accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

● Basis
 of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

● Use
 of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years presented. Significant accounting estimates in the period include the revenue recognition from contracts using the input method, the allowance for expected credit loss on receivables, assumptions used in assessing right of use assets, impairment of long-lived assets, deferred tax valuation allowance and stock-based compensation.

● Basis
 of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

● Foreign
 Currency Translation and Transaction

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and subsidiaries are operating in Singapore, maintain their books and record in their local currency, Singapore Dollars ("S$"), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with *ASC Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement*, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the financial year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholders' equity.

Translation of amounts from S$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case December be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

● Cash
 and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three (3) months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in Singapore.

● Restricted
 Cash

Restricted cash represents fixed deposits that are pledged as security for banking facilities and those with original maturities of three months or more, including guarantees and other credit arrangements. These balances are subject to contractual restrictions and are not available for general use by the Company.

● Accounts
 Receivable, net

Accounts receivables, net includes amounts billed under the contract terms. Depending on the established process between each individual client and the Company, payment terms are set forth in either the purchase orders, the Letter of Award (LOA), or the contract; the typical payment terms require settlement between 60 and 90 days after the work has been certified. The contract receivable amounts are stated at their net realizable value. The Company maintains the expected credit loss to provide for the estimated number of receivables that will not be collected. The Company considers several factors in its estimate of the allowance, including knowledge of a client's financial condition, its historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, including macroeconomic factors such as expected changes in economic growth, industry conditions, and customer-specific risk profiles. In applying the foregoing accounting policy for receivables, management regularly assesses gross outstanding receivables and the related allowance for credit losses by first considering certain qualitative factors, such as seeing how much is owed by the client, whether the balance is overdue or delinquent. In the event that the balance is overdue, management will conduct a root cause analysis to determine why it is overdue. Potential causes may dispute regarding the amount due because of agreed upon deliverables or product quality (amounts that are carried in contracts receivable should not be subject to dispute over quality or amount because all such amounts accounted for as contract receivable are only accrued if they are reasonably expected to be collected). Further in the management's assessment is consideration if the client is still an ongoing client, which means that he is either regularly making payment in entirety or material partial payments against his balance, or the Company is still performing working on a project and that clients has historically made payment(s); management typically considers these type of clients and their related receivables as collectable and in good standing. Management also incorporates forward-looking adjustments to historical loss rates, where applicable, to reflect expected changes in economic conditions that may impact the collectability of receivables over their remaining life. These adjustments require judgment and are based on available information at the reporting date.

● Contract
 assets

Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have revenue recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported on consolidated balance sheets as "Contract assets". Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients, in accordance with underlying contract terms, until certain conditions are met or the project is completed. Provisions for estimated losses of contract assets on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

Contract assets are classified as current assets as the Company has an unconditional right to bill and expects to realize these balances within one year. The Company does not have any contract assets with billing terms extending beyond one year.

● Expected
 credit loss

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requires entities to use a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets. Using this methodology will result in earlier recognition of losses than under the current incurred loss approach, which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of having been incurred. There are other provisions within the standard that affect how impairments of other financial assets may be recorded and presented, and that expand disclosures.

● Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the average cost method. The Company records adjustments to its inventory for estimated obsolescence or diminution in net realizable value equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value. At the point of loss recognition, a new cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

● Property
 and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Expected useful life** |
| Computer and software | 3 years |
| Furniture and fittings | 5 years |
| Leasehold property | Shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life |
| Machinery and equipment | 1 – 10 years |
| Motor vehicles | 10 years |
| Tool and equipment | 3 – 10 years |
| Office equipment | 3 – 5 years |
| Renovation | Shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life |

---

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

Property and equipment that are purchased or constructed which require a period of time before the property and equipment are ready for their intended use are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including installation costs. Construction-in-progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these property and equipment are ready for their intended use.

● Contract
 liabilities

Contract liabilities on uncompleted contracts represent the amounts of cash collected from clients, billings to clients on contracts in advance of work performed and revenue recognized and provisions for losses. The majority of these amounts are expected to be earned within 12 months and are classified as current liabilities.

● Impairment
 of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of *ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets*, all long-lived assets such as property and equipment owned and held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

● Revenue
 Recognition

As discussed in Note 1, the Company provides civil engineering services to clients in numerous public utility projects, including but not limited to electrical and telecommunication cable laying works, water pipeline works and sewer rehabilitation works. The Company enters into agreements with clients that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as goods and services transfer to the clients. It is customary practice for the Company to have written agreements with its clients and revenue on oral or implied arrangements is generally not recognized.

The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five (5) steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

1. Identify
 the contract(s) with a client;

2. Identify
 the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determine
 the transaction price;

4. Allocate
 the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5. Recognize
 revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

***Revenue from contracts***

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work that it has performed under its contracts; these warranty periods are known as the defect liabilities period (the "DLP"). The DLP typically extends for a duration ranging from 12 months to 18 months from the substantial completion of the project for the client. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in significant costs. Contracts will include a provision whereby the client will typically withhold approximately 5.0% of the total contract value until the end of the DLP at which point the client will release the retention amounts to the Company.

*Contract assets*

Contract assets are recognized when progress towards completion of revenue earning activities on contracts exceeds amounts billed under the contract.

***Revenue from maintenance works and services and others***

Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with *ASC 606*, as follows:

Revenue from maintenance works and services and others comprised of revenue from service fee, labor cost charged, rental of machinery and equipment, transportation costs incurred, maintenance works charged, among other things is recognized when the entity satisfied the performance obligation at a point in time generally as the services are provided for a duration of typically less than one month. The Company typically receives purchase orders or emails from its customers which will set for the terms and conditions including the transaction price, works or services to be performed, terms of performance, and terms of payment. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Company must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is the completion of the contracted services to the customer according to the works or services to be performed and terms of performance. The maintenance work and services and others consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes the revenue when the following events have occurred: (a) the Company has performed the contracted services; (b) the Company has a present right to payment; (c) the customer has legal rights to the services upon completion of works done, and (d) the customer bears significant risks and rewards of ownership of the services. The completion of this revenue process is evidenced by the customer acceptance on our document for the maintenance works and services and others.

● Cost
 of revenue

Cost of revenue consist of direct payroll costs, sub-contract costs, material costs and other indirect costs. Direct payroll costs represent the portion of salaries and wages incurred in connection with the production of deliverables under client assignments and contracts. Direct payroll costs include allocated fringe costs (i.e. health benefits, employer payroll taxes, and retirement plan contributions), paid leave and incentive compensation. Sub-contract comprises job outside to third parties. Material costs are raw materials used for the projects. Other indirect costs will be professional and miscellaneous costs associated to the projects excluded significant machinery or other long term depreciable assets and our cost of revenue presented are excluded of depreciation and amortization.

***Contract costs***

Contract costs consist of direct payroll costs, sub-consultant costs, material costs and other indirect costs which might include professional and miscellaneous costs associated to the projects and allocated overheads. Direct payroll costs represent the portion of salaries and wages incurred in connection with the production of deliverables under client assignments and contracts. Direct payroll costs include allocated fringe costs (i.e. health benefits, employer payroll taxes, and retirement plan contributions), paid leave and incentive compensation. Sub-contract and direct expenses include both sub-con-contract and other outside costs associated with performance under our contracts. Performance under our contracts does not involve significant machinery or other long term depreciable assets. We present direct costs exclusive of depreciation and amortization and as such we do not present gross profit on our combined financial statements.

● Selling
 and Distribution

Selling and distribution expenses include related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel, and the costs of advertising, promotions, seminars, and other programs. There were no advertising expense incurred for the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

● Government
 Grant

A government grant or subsidy is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that: (a) the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to the grant; and (b) the grant will be received. When the Company receives government grant or subsidies but the conditions attached to the grants have not been fulfilled, such government subsidies are deferred and recorded under other payables and accrued expenses, and other long-term liability. The classification of short-term or long-term liabilities is depended on the management's expectation of when the conditions attached to the grant can be fulfilled. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company received government subsidies of approximately $0.05 million, approximately $0.01 million and approximately $0.03 million, respectively, which are recognized as government grant in the consolidated statements of operations.

● Comprehensive
 Income (Loss)

*ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income*, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statement of shareholder's equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

● Income
 Taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of *ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes* ("*ASC 740*"). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

*ASC 740* prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under *ASC 740*, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

● Leases

*ASC 842* requires that lessees recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than 12 months. It requires for leases longer than one year, a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial condition a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, representing the liability to make lease payments. *ASC 842* distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. *ASC 842* supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") including *ASC Topic 840, Leases*.

The accounting update also requires that for finance leases, a lessee recognize interest expense on the lease liability, separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statements of earnings, while for operating leases, such amounts should be recognized as a combined expense. In addition, this accounting update requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements.

● Retirement
 Plan Costs

Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operation as the related employee service are provided. The Company is required to make contribution to their employees under a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution pension scheme for its eligible full-times employees in Singapore. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the participants' relevant income based on their ages and wages level. During the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, contributions to retirement plans of approximately $0.2 million, approximately $0.1 million and approximately $0.1 million contributions were made accordingly.

● Stock-based
 compensation

The Company has equity-classified, stock-based compensation plans under which equity awards are granted to eligible personnel. Compensation cost for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period) with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

The total compensation cost recognized over the vesting period is based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and the number of awards expected to vest. Estimates of forfeitures are incorporated into the recognition of compensation cost. The Company revises its estimates of expected forfeitures at each reporting date, and the impact of any change in estimate is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to equity. After the vesting date, no further adjustments to compensation cost are made.

For awards with performance conditions, compensation cost is recognized if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Market conditions are reflected in the grant-date fair value and do not affect the number of awards expected to vest.

Upon settlement or exercise of awards, the balance in additional paid-in capital relating to those awards is reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

If the terms of an award are modified, the Company recognizes the incremental compensation cost equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification, measured at the date of modification. The original grant-date fair value continues to be recognized over the remaining service period as if the modification had not occurred.

● Segment
 Reporting

FASB *ASC 280,* "*Segment Reporting"*, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company's internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company's business segments. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company has one reportable segment.

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment operating income (loss) to allocate resources to the business segment in the planning process and to assess the performance of the business segment, primarily by monitoring actual results versus the half-yearly plan.

● Related
 Parties

The Company follows the *ASC 850-10, Related Party* for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to section *850-10-20* the related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section *825-10-15*, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company December deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

● Commitments
 And Contingencies

The Company follows the *ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies*. Certain conditions December exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which December result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that December result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

● Concentration
 of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. From April 1, 2024 onwards, the Singapore Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of S$100,000 (approximately US$74,360) if the bank with which an individual/a company hold its eligible deposit fails. As of December 31, 2025, bank and cash balance approximately $0.7 million were maintained at financial institutions in Singapore, of which approximately $0.8 million was subject to credit risk. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the expected credit loss is based on the estimated realizable value. The Company identifies credit risk on a customer by customer basis. The information is monitored regularly by management. Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of customers having similar characteristics such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic conditions.

● Exchange
 rate Risk

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in S$ and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in S$. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations December be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and S$. If S$ depreciates against US$, the value of S$ revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

● Liquidity
 Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

● Fair
 Value Measurement

The Company follows the guidance of the *ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures* ("*ASC 820-10*"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. *ASC 820-10* establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

● *Level 1*: Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;

● *Level 2 :* Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
 in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant
 inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets
 or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using
 market-based observable inputs; and

● *Level 3*: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants
 would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option
 pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, amount due to a related party, accounts payable, escrow liabilities, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of note payable approximate the carrying amount. The Company accounts for loans receivable at cost, subject to impairment testing. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans.

The Company's non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies, which are without readily determinable market values and are classified as Level 3, due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management's judgment.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

● Recently
 Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Once adopted, this ASU will result in additional disclosures.

---

For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not recorded any provision for expected credit loss and charged to the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company generally conducts its business with creditworthy third parties. The Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and the expected credit loss, based on several factors including internal risk ratings, customer credit quality, payment history, historical bad debt/write-off experience and forecasted economic and market conditions.

**NOTE－8 LEASES**

The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient. Some of the operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarily taxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leases and some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have elected the practical expedient.

The Company uses the weighted average incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments.

*<u>Ordinary Shares</u>*

The Company was established under the laws of Cayman Islands on March 27, 2023 with authorized share of 500,000,000 ordinary shares of par value $0.001 each. On January 8, 2024, for purposes of recapitalization in anticipation of the initial public offering, the Company's shareholders passed resolutions to effect a 1:4 share sub-division (a "forward stock split") and to change the Company's authorized share capital to $500,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, of a par value of $0.00025 each.

The holders of the Company's ordinary share are entitled to the following rights:

**Voting Rights**: Each share of the Company's ordinary share entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters to be voted or consented upon by the stockholders. Holders of the Company's ordinary shares are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors.

**Dividend Right**: Subject to limitations under Cayman law and preferences that may apply to preferred shares that the Company may decide to issue in the future, holders of the Company's ordinary share are entitled to receive ratably such dividends or other distributions, if any, as may be declared by the Board of the Company out of funds legally available therefor.

**Liquidation Right**: In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business, the holders of the Company's ordinary share are entitled to share ratably in the assets available for distribution after the payment of all of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, subject to the prior rights of the holders of the Company's preferred stock.

**Other Matters**: The holders of the Company's ordinary share have no subscription, redemption or conversion privileges. The Company's ordinary share does not entitle its holders to preemptive rights. All of the outstanding shares of the Company's ordinary share are fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Company's ordinary share are subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which the Company December issue in the future.

**NOTE－12 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

The Company accounts for share-based payment awards in accordance with *ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation*. The Company measures equity-classified share-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. The grant date is the date on which the Company and the grantee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the award.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 3.125 million share-based awards to various Professional Service Providers under which the grantees became entitled to receive 3.125 million shares of the Company's common stock upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. The share-based awards provided at the issuance price ranging between U.S.$0.74 and U.S.$0.84 per share and were recognized upon the vesting conditions were satisfied during the year. The Company determined that these awards are equity-classified because settlement is in the Company's equity instruments and the awards do not require liability classification. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $2.4 million which was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2025, there was no unrecognized compensation cost or unsatisfied vesting conditions related to these awards recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

The Company notes that the fixed contractual exercise price of U.S.$1.28 per share was higher than the market price of the Company's common stock on the respective issuance dates. Because the award is equity-classified, this difference did not result in remeasurement, an additional compensation charge, or a loss on issuance on the issuance date. Rather, compensation cost for the award was measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized over the vesting period. If the Company were to modify the terms of the award, any resulting incremental fair value would be accounted for as an award modification under *ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation*.

Additionally, the CODM reviews and uses functional expenses included in net income to manage the Company's operations and assess operating profitability. The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment, and as such the significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM are those presented on the consolidated statements of operations. These significant segment expense include mainly cost of revenue, selling and distribution expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Other segment items that are presented on the consolidated statements of operations include interest and other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, and non-recurring items such as stock-based compensation. The Company's entity-wide disclosures, including the breakout of revenue between services are included in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE – 16 DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE**

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts based on the Company's effort or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation over time as work progresses because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer and the Company's right to bill the customer as costs are incurred.

Revenue from maintenance works and services and others comprised of revenue from service fee, labor cost charged, rental of machinery and equipment, transportation costs incurred, maintenance works charged, among other things is recognized when the entity satisfied the performance obligation at a point in time generally as the services are provided for a duration of typically less than one month. The Company typically receives purchase orders or emails from its customers which will set for the terms and conditions including the transaction price, works or services to be performed, terms of performance, and terms of payment. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Company must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is the completion of the contracted services to the customer according to the works or services to be performed and terms of performance. The maintenance work and services and others consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes the revenue when the following events have occurred: (a) the Company has performed the contracted services; (b) the Company has a present right to payment; (c) the customer has legal rights to the services upon completion of works done, and (d) the customer bears significant risks and rewards of ownership of the services. The completion of this revenue process is evidenced by the customer acceptance on our document for the maintenance works and services and others.

In accordance with *ASC 280, Segment Reporting* ("*ASC 280*"), we have one reportable geographic segment. Sales are based on the countries in which the customer is located. Summarized financial information concerning our geographic segments is shown in the following tables:

**NOTE－17 CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK**

(a) Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of contracts receivable. The Company conducts credit evaluations of its clients, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Company evaluates its collection experience and long outstanding balances to determine the need for an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its clients to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

The following table sets forth a summary of single customers whom represent 10% or more of the Company's total revenue:

\* Represents percentages less than 10%

(b) Credit
 risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and loans receivable. Cash equivalents are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. From April 1, 2024 onwards, the Singapore Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of S$100,000 (approximately US$74,360) if the bank with which an individual/a company hold its eligible deposit fails. As of December 31, 2025, bank and cash balance approximately $0.8 million were maintained at financial institutions in Singapore, of which approximately $0.7 million was subject to credit risk. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up the expected credit loss based on the estimated realizable value.

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its counterparties' financial condition and generally do not require a collateral. The Company also considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.

The Company has determined the default event on a financial asset to be when internal and/or external information indicates that the financial asset is unlikely to be received, which could include default of contractual payments due for more than 90 days, default of interest due for more than 365 days or there is significant difficulty of the counterparty.

To minimize credit risk, the Company has developed and maintained its credit risk grading to categorize exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by publicly available financial information and the Company's own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Company considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information which includes the following indicators:

● Actual
 or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change
 to the debtor's ability to meet its obligations

● Internal
 credit rating

● External
 credit rating and when necessary

Regardless of the analysis above, a significant increase in credit risk is presumed if a debtor is more than 30 days past due in making contractual payment.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no outstanding from a single customer whose account receivable balances of total consolidated amounts.

(c) Interest
 rate risk

As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The Company's interest-rate risk arises from bank borrowings. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the borrowings were at fixed interest rates.

(d) Economic
 and political risk

The Company's all operations are conducted in Singapore. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in Singapore, as well as the general state of Singapore's economy influence the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

(e) Exchange
 rate risk

The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady. Therefore, there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two (2) comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of S$ converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.

(f) Liquidity
 risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

Potential impact to the Company's results of operations for 2026 will also depend on economic impact due to the pandemic and if any future resurgence of the virus globally, which are beyond the Company's control. There is no guarantee that the Company's revenues will grow or remain at a similar level year over year in 2026.

The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company is able to continue as a going concern and maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize shareholder's value. Historically, the Company have met its working capital and other liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of cash generated from its operations and loans from banking facilities. Going forward, they expect to fund their working capital and other liquidity requirements from various sources, including but not limited to cash generated from operations, loans from banking facilities, the net proceeds from equity and debt financings as and when appropriate.

In addition, the related parties disclosed in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, undertake that they will not demand the repayment of the amounts due from the Company amounting to approximately U.S.$7.0 million until the Company's resources permit.

**NOTE－18 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

Litigation — The Company currently is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has capital expenditures contracted for at the balance sheet date but not recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

**NOTE－19 REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

In preparing the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company identified an error in its previously issued financial statements related to a mis-computation of the gain from disposal of property and equipment in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which affected certain line items within the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement both quantitatively and qualitatively in accordance with *ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections*, and determined the correction of this error to be immaterial to the prior period financial statements taken as a whole and, therefore, amending the previously filed report to correct the error was not required. The Company has corrected the error by revising the comparative financial statements and adjusting the prior period financial information as summarized below and has added disclosure of the error in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE－20 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

In accordance with *ASC Topic 855*, "*Subsequent Events",* which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2025, up through the date the Company issued the audited consolidated financial statements. During the period, the Company did not have any material subsequent events other than those disclosed below.

On March 18, 2026 (the "Completion Date of Professional Services"), the Company issued and allotted 5,625,000 ordinary shares in relation to stock-based compensation which awarded to various Professional Service Providers and the grantees became entitled to receive these shares of the Company's common stock upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. The reporting deliverables were issued on the Completion Date of Professional Services where the vesting conditions have been fulfilled and completed on the same date.

On April 6, 2026, the Company effected a share consolidation on a 10 for 1 ratio. The objective of the share consolidation is to enable the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on Nasdaq. As a result of the share consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company was reduced from 24,375,000 to 2,437,503. The disclosure throughout this report does not reflect the share consolidation, unless otherwise noted.
