Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report the 20 22 financial year results for
CRUSHMETRIC Group Limited.
The Company formerly engaged in TCM healthcare and skincare
products in the past years. The incidence of Covid forced a change
in focus and therefore, during 2022, the nature of the Company's
operations and its principal activities have changed to acting as
the holding company of a group engaged in (i) design and production
that integrates shape changing technology ("CRUSH") into a
catalogue of products that is designed and invented by the artist
and co-founder of CRUSHMETRIC Limited, Noah Deledda. This
technology is built on his own series of dented aluminium can
sculptures and (ii) the sale and distribution of the CRUSHMETRIC
products through online and offline channels worldwide.
COVID-19
The continued outbreak of COVID-19 created a certain level of
unpredictable challenges to our Hong Kong and China office during
the year. However, since we have concentrated our resources in our
product sales and our sales are mainly generated from our online
platforms, this has resulted in the business being well placed to
deliver services and products to its customers without significant
disruption and with no increase in operational risk.
Review of significant activities
(i) Convertible Bond
On 19 July 2021, the Group entered into an extension agreement
for the Convertible Bond. The maturity date extended to 19 January
2023 and the coupon rate adjusted to seven-point five percent
(7.5%) per annum for the period from 20 July 2021 to 19 April 2022
and eight-point five percent (8.5%) per annum for the period from
20 April 2022 to 19 January 2023. All other terms remain unchanged.
This Convertible Bond was further extended to 19 July 2024. Please
refer to Note 29 in the non-statutory group financial statements
for details.
(ii) Executive Distribution Rights and Business Restructuring
In March 2022, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MiLOC
Biotechnology Limited, was granted the exclusive distribution
rights by CRUSHMETRIC Limited ("CRUSHMETRIC") to distribute
CRUSHMETRIC's designer products including but not limited to the
CRUSHMETRIC SwitchPen in all online and offline platforms.
In June 2022, the Company announced plans to restructure the
business of the Group. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic in Hong Kong,
following the suspension of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Centre
("TCM Centre") since October 2021, the Company decided to
officially close the TCM Centre. The Company believes that by
closing the TCM Centre, it can better utilise the capital resources
of the Company and focus on more profitable business lines
including, but not limited to, the sale and distribution of
designer products under the CRUSHMETRIC brand. The Company has
shifted more resources to the business of CRUSHMETRIC SwitchPen,
through online (currently mainly through www.crushmetric.com ) and
offline platforms.
In November 2022, the Company changed its name from MiLOC Group
Limited to CRUSHMETRIC Group Limited, to better reflect the change
in the Company's new strategy. The Chinese name was removed until
the Company decided a suitable one. The ISIN of the Company remains
unchanged as "KYG613521031". The Ticker symbol was changed to
"CUSH". The Corporate website address of the Company was changed
from www.miloc.com to www.crushmetricgroup.com .
In December 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of
CRUSHMETRIC Limited. It has completed the allotments and issue of
153,486,965 new Ordinary Shares (the consideration shares) to the
former owners of CRUSHMETRIC Limited, ONG Ban Poh Michael (Chief
Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Company) ; Noah
Deledda and Lim Yi Shenn. After the share allotment, together with
the shareholding through Megasia International Limited, Mr. Ong
holds a total of 80,993,808 Ordinary Shares in the Company,
representing 33.7% of the issued shares. Mr. Deledda holds a total
of 69,683,082 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 29% of
the issued shares. Together with the shares previously owned, Mr.
Lim holds a total of 20,713,824 Ordinary Shares in the Company,
which represents 8.63% of the issued share capital.
(iii) Legal Proceeding of a fellow subsidiary - Star Collaboration (Guangzhou) Limited
There were five litigations and legal proceedings in one of the
Group's subsidiaries, Star Collaboration (Guangzhou) Limited ("Star
C"), where the Group holds 57% shares of this subsidiary. Details

Outlook
The Company has changed its principal activities and
restructured its business during the year 2022. Despite the
continuous impact of Covid-19 in 2022, the Company has transformed
its business to a consumer product Group that sells various
innovative products to the market.
In the coming year, the Group will continue to focus on
promoting and generate more sales from our online distribution of
the CRUSHMETRIC series of products, including but not limited to
the CRUSHMETRIC SwitchPens and the Autohedron Chairs which were
launched. The Group will also continue to focus on R&D and
launch the CRUSHMETRIC tumbler soon.
The Board will continue to take all reasonable efforts to ensure
that sufficient working capital is maintained. The Board's
objective is the same as previous year, which is to protect and
safeguard as well as improve the business, to minimise cost and
generate more sales income through online products.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank our
management and staff for the great loyalty and dedication they
continue to show through these delicate times. I would also like to
extend our utmost appreciation to all our partners, shareholders,
customers, business associates and suppliers, for their continued
support.

The audit opinion contains the following statement:
"Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 3 in the financial statements, which
explains, amongst other matters, that the Group is reliant on
trading materially in line with projections and, should it fail to
do so, on further support from shareholders, in particular the
Directors who have agreed not to recall their loans in a manner
that would prejudice the going concern of the Group and who have
confirmed their ongoing support to the Group's business activities
for the forthcoming twelve months. As stated in note 3, these
events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in
note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast
significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter."
The financial information in this announcement is derived from
the Group's audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 20 22 which are available at the Company's
website www.crushmetricgroup.com.
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the
contents of this announcement.
