6. RISK FACTOR

Project Risk

The implementation of the Project is subject to certain risks inherent in the farming solutions business. These include but are not limited to the advancement in technology costs, availability of trained skilled workers in environment technologies, increases in the cost of labour, competition, changes in general economic, business and interest rate conditions and changes in the legal environment framework within which the industry operates, timely completion of the Project, obtaining sufficient funds to finance the Project and failure or delay in the implementation of the Project. In addition, there is also no assurance that the anticipated benefits from the Project will be realised, and that ICB will be able to generate sufficient revenue from the Project to offset the associated cost.

Nevertheless, the Board has and will continue to exercise due care in considering the risks and benefits associated with the Project and will take appropriate measures in planning the successful integration of the Agreement with ICB's current business operations. Further, ICB and its subsidiaries ("ICB Group") are committed towards the close monitoring of the development of the Project in order to minimise any implementation issues or delays.


7. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE AGREEMENT

The Agreement will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital, substantial shareholders' shareholdings, net assets per share and gearing of the ICB Group for the financial year ending 31 December 2010. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Board is of the opinion that the Agreement will contribute positively to the earnings and earnings per share of the ICB Group in the future.


8. APPROVALS REQUIRED

The Agreement does not require the approval of ICB's shareholders or any other relevant government authorities.

9. DIRECTORS' AND/OR MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS' INTERESTS

None of the Directors and/or major shareholders of the Company and/or persons connected with them have any interest, direct or indirect, in the Agreement.


10. STATEMENT BY DIRECTORS

4. RISKS FACTORS

4.1 Business Risk

Like all business entities, risk factors affecting the MOU include but are not limited to execution risks such as business expansion, prudent financial management, changes in price materials, changes in political, economic and regulatory conditions. In addition, there is also no assurance that the anticipated benefits from the MOU will be realised, and that the ICB will be able to generate sufficient revenue from the MOU to offset the associated cost.
