SINGAPORE, 2 February 2010 – SGX-Catalist listed Rokko Holdings Ltd (“Rokko”

or “the Group”) announced today that its net profit after tax for the financial year ended
31 December 2009 (“FY2009”) soared 80.1% to S$1.8 million from S$1.0 million a
year earlier for the financial year ended 31 December 2008 (“FY2008”), propelled by
pent-up demand for semiconductor equipment during the second half of FY2009
(“2H2009”).

The higher profit was achieved on turnover of S$29.5 million in FY2009, a rise of
48.5% from S$19.9 million in FY2008, driven by strong recovery in the Equipment and
Stamping Divisions, sales of which rose by approximately 106.3% and 29.6%,
respectively, over the prior financial year.

The performance was achieved despite lower gross profit margin for FY2009 due to
the significant drop in revenue in the first half of FY2009 (“1H2009”) when the Group
recorded a net loss of S$1.2 million, and lower capacity utilisation rates for its Tooling
and Stamping Divisions. Rokko also benefited from cost-cutting measures
implemented since the start of the recent financial crisis.

Rokko, which designs, manufactures and markets high-precision automated

equipment for the semiconductor sector, reported net profit after tax of approximately

S$3.0 million and turnover of S$23.9 million in 2H2009, compared with S$0.1 million
and turnover of S$8.2 million, respectively, in 2H2008.

Earnings per share (based on weighted average number of shares of 146,477,510

shares) rose to 1.20 cents per share in FY2009 compared to 0.65 cent in FY2008
(based on 149,986,478 shares). Net asset value per share increased to 13.33 cents
as at 31 December 2009 from 12.29 cents as at 31 December 2008.

The Group remains in a healthy financial position with cash and cash equivalents of
approximately S$9.0 million at the end of FY2009, up significantly from S$3.6 million
at the end of FY2008. The Group’s net gearing stood at 0.50 times at the end of
FY2009 compared to 0.41 times at the end of FY2008.

Commenting on the outlook, Rokko’s Managing Director Mr Gary Lim said, “We
believe that strong orders for PCs and smartphones will continue to underpin demand
in the semiconductor cycle. Many of the larger players also have stronger balance
sheets compared to earlier cycles.”

“Our order book remains healthy, standing at S$10.3 million at the end of FY2009. We
will continue to market our second-generation RS8000 series of sawing singulation
equipment which offers an average of 50% higher productivity than our first generation
RS7000 series at a marginal price difference which has gained traction among our
cost conscious customers,” Mr Lim added.

The Group is also on the look out for potential targets for M&A that could integrate
vertically with its core product and capabilities and will also continue to invest in
research and development to deliver innovative products to customers in a timely
manner and focus on its core businesses of Connectors Stamping, Precision Tooling
and Equipment manufacturing.

The Group has proposed a one-tier (tax-exempt) first and final dividend of 0.50 cent
per ordinary share, totalling $728,225 or approximately 41% of net profit after tax,
which compares with 0.2 cent or $291,748 or 30% of net profit which was declared
and paid for FY2008.
