MSF Mansfield Manufacturing Company Limited & its subsidiaries
The Group’s corporate division incurred a loss of S$0.9 million mainly due to foreign
exchange loss in 1H08 as a result of the weakening of the US currency, which affected
proceeds from the sale of its subsidiary, Magnecomp Precision Technology Public
Company Limited (MPT). This is offset by fair value gains in re-measurement of
investment securities, reversal of warranties pursuant to disposal of MPT and higher
interest income.
As a result of the above factors, the Group reported a net loss from continuing
operations of S$7.0 million.
The Group remained in a healthy financial position, having generated S$28.6 million of
positive operating cash inflow in FY08. As at 31 December 2008, the Group has a cash
balance of approximately S$93.1 million with total borrowings of S$65.5 million,
amounting to a net cash position of S$27.6 million.
Subsequent to the year end, the Group received S$24.4 million from the sale of its
remaining 10.0% stake in the paid-up capital of its former subsidiary MPT. With the
proceeds, the Directors have proposed a first and final dividend of 5 cents per share for
FY2008.
The Directors believe that the healthy balance sheet and liquidity position will open up
more opportunities for the Group in today’s weakened global economy and turbulent
financial markets. It will continue to pursue its merger and acquisition growth strategy
with a focus on earnings-accretive businesses that can provide synergies and
complement its precision metal manufacturing business.

The Group will continue to manage costs and improve operational efficiency. It will
undertake a review of its operations and will consider consolidating its manufacturing
facilities and scaling down its operations to improve profitability. The Directors are of the
view that these measures will enable the Group to tide over this period of difficulty and
be ready to capitalise on any improvement in the economic conditions.
In the medium-term, the Directors expect the macro operating environment to remain
challenging and as such, wishes to advise shareholders that the Group is not expected
to be profitable in Q1’09.
