Included in the 6 months period ended 31 December 2014 was a one-off S$1.1 million loss on reclassification of currency translation reserves to income statement arising from disposal of equity interest in a foreign associated company. • Excluding the one-off S$2.3 million loss for Yamada and S$1.1 million loss for the foreign associated company, total expenses for 6 months ended 31 December 2015 were $16.1 million, an increase of 13.4% compared to S$14.2 million for corresponding period last year. 6

Outlook 16

Outlook  Against a backdrop of continued uncertainties in the global economic markets, the business environment is expected to remain challenging with sales in the search business continuing to decline. The Company will continue its efforts to improve the search business and in particular its digital offerings.  The Group’s strategy to diversify into property and food & beverage sectors has helped mitigate the decline in search business, contributing to an overall net S$3.6m increase in the Group’s revenue in H1FY16 from the corresponding period last year.  The Company’s Pakuranga Plaza shopping mall in Auckland, New Zealand contributed S$1.5m to net profits in H1FY16. We are also actively engaging with the local authority on the redevelopment plans for the property. 17

Outlook  The Group’s licensing of Wendy’s intellectual property rights contributed S$1.0 million to net profits in H1FY16. The Group’s acquisition of Supatreats Asia Pte Ltd on 1 January 2016 has expanded the Group’s foothold into the retail master franchise and supply chain business for Wendy’s brand of ice cream and treats in Australia and New Zealand with a network of over 150 stores.  The Group also announced on 7 January 2016 the collaboration agreement entered into with Aimers Co Ltd to develop the Wendy’s business in China, Korea and Japan and the Gang Ti business in Korea, Japan, South East Asia, New Zealand and Australia.  With the expiry of the URA awarded river taxi licence on 31 December 2015, the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary, Singapore River Explorer Pte Ltd (“SRE”) had ceased operations. There is an outstanding loan of $6.3m as at 31 December 2015 due from SRE to the Company and the Company has provided a corporate guarantee of approximately $0.8m for SRE’s repayment obligations to a third party lender. This is likely to have a material impact on the Group’s FY16 performance if SRE is unable to meet its repayment obligations to the Company. The Company has commenced action against SRE on 2 February 2016 by way of a writ of summon in respect of the outstanding loan. The Company will make further announcement(s) on the proceedings as and when appropriate. 18
