1.12 | 1.05 | 1.19 | 0.83 | Key Financial Performance Analysis The Group's net loss significantly improved by 48.6% during the review period, primarily driven by fair value gains on financial

approximately S$0.69 million or 48.6% compared to the net loss of S$1.42 million in the same period of 202412 - The improvement in net loss was mainly attributable to a fair value gain on financial derivatives of approximately S$0.67 million, a positive swing of S$0.96 million from a loss of S$0.29 million in the prior period12 - Revenue decreased by S$0.37 million from S$1.76 million in the
