This represents a 339 percent increase from the prior year, which had experienced a temporary revenue slump due to project delays and restructuring. Net profit for the year was 360,541 Singapore dollars, or about 283,000 US dollars, reversing a net loss from 2024. The company’s gross profit margin improved to 79.2 percent in FY2025. Operating expenses were reduced significantly. RPGL now has no long term debt and reported positive free cash flow. The company’s R and D investment increased more than 800 percent year over year as it ramped up development of its cloud ERP platform. -New Contracts and Market Expansion- RPGL successfully expanded into Hong Kong in FY2025 and signed several new software development contracts. These deals helped reduce revenue concentration. In FY2024, a single client accounted for 79 percent of revenue. By FY2025, the top four clients contributed 29.3, 18.1, 15.2, and 11.1 percent respectively. This indicates more diversified sales activity and less dependency on any one contract. The company has also delivered operational software for major public infrastructure projects, including an airport trolley AI management system and a cruise terminal processing platform. These deployments demonstrate RPGL’s execution capability and relevance in critical logistics environments. -SaaS ERP Platform Rollout- RPGL has developed a modular cloud-based ERP platform designed to serve small and midsize clients through a subscription model. The company began pilot testing the system in FY2025. Management has confirmed that the full commercial rollout is targeted for Q3 of FY2026. This move transitions the business model from one time software customization to recurring revenue. The product incorporates AI modules and allows integration with hardware for logistics, access control, and environmental monitoring. The company anticipates that this subscription-based offering will allow it to serve more customers at lower onboarding cost and scale into Southeast Asian and Hong Kong-based SMEs.

That represents 36.79 percent of its public float. The short interest ratio is 4.87 days to cover. Borrow fees rose above 800 percent in January 2026, with multiple days registering rates over 500 percent. These figures indicate extremely high cost for short sellers to maintain their positions. Borrow availability has fluctuated rapidly. Fintel data showed borrowable shares dropping to as low as 2,000 at several points in late December 2025. Off exchange short volume is over 48 percent. These combined pressures set up the possibility of a technical squeeze if upward price pressure forces short covering. **Regulatory Status and Corporate Actions** RPGL received a Nasdaq deficiency notice on January 5, 2026 for trading below 1.00 dollar for thirty consecutive business days. This notice does not affect current listing status. The company has until July 6, 2026 to regain compliance. If needed, RPGL may execute a reverse stock split to cure the deficiency. On December 31, 2025, shareholders approved a reverse split authorization with a ratio range of 1 for 2 to 1 for 100. The board now has the discretion to execute a split at any time prior to December 31, 2026. As of now, no split has been executed. The board also submitted and passed an amended charter to streamline this process. **Industry Tailwinds** The ERP and SaaS software market in Southeast Asia is projected to grow at over 15 percent annually through 2030. Governments and private companies across the region are actively digitizing logistics, transportation, and municipal infrastructure. RPGL’s focus on predictive software for resource planning and public-facing use cases aligns well with this trend. Market research projects the Asia Pacific ERP software segment will grow from 15.6 billion dollars in 2024 to 35.6 billion by 2030. RPGL’s AI-enabled modules and IoT integration position it within high growth niches such as infrastructure automation and AI assisted logistics.

It is currently the subject of very high short interest relative to float, and borrow rates that impose significant cost on short sellers. The company has sufficient cash and no need to dilute in the near term. It is actively addressing Nasdaq compliance and has begun onboarding for its ERP SaaS platform. Given the combination of low float, insider control, profitability, and high borrow fee pressure, RPGL presents a setup that may appeal to both fundamental investors and short squeeze traders.
