ITEM 3.    INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

           The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated herein by reference:

           (a)   the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
                 ended March 31, 2001, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the
                 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
                 Act"), which contains audited financial statements as of the
                 fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, and for the three
                 fiscal years ended March 31, 2001;

           (b)   the Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
                 quarters ended June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2001, as
                 amended, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act;
                 and

           (c)   the description of the Registrant's ordinary shares contained
                 in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
                 with the Commission under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

           All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from
the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.    DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

           Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.    INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

           Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

           Article 155 of the Registrant's Articles of Association provides
that, subject to the Singapore Companies Act, every director or other officer
shall be entitled to be indemnified by Registrant against all liabilities
incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation
thereto, including any liability in defending any proceedings, civil or
criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done
or omitted by him as an officer or employee of Registrant and in which judgment
is given in his favor, or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without finding
or admission of any material breach of duty; in which he is acquitted; or in
connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability for
any act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.

           In addition, no director or other officer shall be liable for the
acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer, joining
in any receipt or other act for conformity, or for any loss or expense happening
to Registrant, through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property
acquired by order of the directors for Registrant or for the insufficiency or
deficiency of any security upon which any of the moneys of Registrant are
invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or
tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects are
deposited, or any other loss or misfortune which happens in the execution of his
duties, unless the same happens through his own negligence, willful default,
breach of duty or breach of trust.

          Section 172 of the Companies Act prohibits a company from indemnifying
its directors or officers against liability which by law would otherwise attach
to them for any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which
they may be guilty relating to the company. However, a company is not prohibited
from


<PAGE>

(a) purchasing and maintaining for any such officer insurance against any such
liability except where the liability arises out of conduct involving dishonesty
or a willful breach of duty, or (b) indemnifying such officer against any
liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or
criminal, in which judgment is given in his favor or in which he is acquitted,
or in connection with any application in relation to liability in which relief
is granted to him by the court.

           Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors. These indemnification agreements provide Registrant's
officers and directors with indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by
the Companies Act. Registrant has also obtained a policy of directors' and
officers' liability insurance that will insure directors and officers against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain
circumstances which are permitted under the Companies Act.

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.

           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

           (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                 made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                 Statement:

                 (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                       the Securities Act;

                 (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                       after the effective date of the Registration Statement
                       (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                       which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                       fundamental change in the information set forth in the
                       Registration Statement; and

                 (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
                       plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                       Registration Statement or any material change to such
                       information in the Registration Statement;

             provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

           (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                 Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
                 deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
                 securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
                 at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
                 offering thereof.

           (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                 amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                 unsold at the termination of the offering.

           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a


<PAGE>

director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereby,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

ITEM 3.    INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

           The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated herein by reference:

           (a)   the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
                 ended March 31, 2001, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the
                 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
                 Act"), which contains audited financial statements as of the
                 fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, and for the three
                 fiscal years ended March 31, 2001;

           (b)   the Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
                 quarters ended June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2001, as
                 amended, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act;
                 and

           (c)   the description of the Registrant's ordinary shares contained
                 in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
                 with the Commission under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

           All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from
the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.    DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

           Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.    INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

           Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

           Article 155 of the Registrant's Articles of Association provides
that, subject to the Singapore Companies Act, every director or other officer
shall be entitled to be indemnified by Registrant against all liabilities
incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation
thereto, including any liability in defending any proceedings, civil or
criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done
or omitted by him as an officer or employee of Registrant and in which judgment
is given in his favor, or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without finding
or admission of any material breach of duty; in which he is acquitted; or in
connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability for
any act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.

           In addition, no director or other officer shall be liable for the
acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer, joining
in any receipt or other act for conformity, or for any loss or expense happening
to Registrant, through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property
acquired by order of the directors for Registrant or for the insufficiency or
deficiency of any security upon which any of the moneys of Registrant are
invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or
tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects are
deposited, or any other loss or misfortune which happens in the execution of his
duties, unless the same happens through his own negligence, willful default,
breach of duty or breach of trust.

          Section 172 of the Companies Act prohibits a company from indemnifying
its directors or officers against liability which by law would otherwise attach
to them for any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which
they may be guilty relating to the company. However, a company is not prohibited
from
(a) purchasing and maintaining for any such officer insurance against any such
liability except where the liability arises out of conduct involving dishonesty
or a willful breach of duty, or (b) indemnifying such officer against any
liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or
criminal, in which judgment is given in his favor or in which he is acquitted,
or in connection with any application in relation to liability in which relief
is granted to him by the court.

           Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors. These indemnification agreements provide Registrant's
officers and directors with indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by
the Companies Act. Registrant has also obtained a policy of directors' and
officers' liability insurance that will insure directors and officers against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain
circumstances which are permitted under the Companies Act.

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.

           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

           (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                 made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                 Statement:

                 (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                       the Securities Act;

                 (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                       after the effective date of the Registration Statement
                       (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                       which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                       fundamental change in the information set forth in the
                       Registration Statement; and

                 (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
                       plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                       Registration Statement or any material change to such
                       information in the Registration Statement;

             provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

           (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                 Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
                 deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
                 securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
                 at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
                 offering thereof.

           (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                 amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                 unsold at the termination of the offering.

           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereby,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
