Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: the failure to finalize negotiations concerning the increase of the Loan or to close such transaction and the failure of the Company to complete the acquisition of the Company Facility; operating performance of facilities; environmental and safety risks; delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals from government authorities; unavailability of plant, equipment or labour; inability to retain key management and personnel; changes to regulations or policies affecting the Company’s activities; and the other risks disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s amended annual information. 

Forward-looking information speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) stands as a beacon of investment opportunity in the global economy. Comprising ten dynamic member states, including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, ASEAN boasts a diverse and rapidly growing market. This region, with a combined GDP of over $3.6 trillion and a population exceeding 650 million, offers vast potential for investors seeking growth and diversification.

Market Size and Economic Growth

ASEAN’s collective market size is formidable. The region’s strategic location, coupled with its robust economic growth rates, presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses. Over the past decade, ASEAN has averaged an annual GDP growth rate of around 5%, outpacing many developed economies. This growth is driven by a burgeoning middle class, increased urbanization, and a youthful population with rising disposable incomes.

Skilled Labor Potential

One of ASEAN’s key assets is its skilled labor force. The region has invested significantly in education and vocational training, producing a workforce that is not only large but also increasingly skilled. This talent pool is particularly attractive to industries ranging from manufacturing to services and technology. The emphasis on English proficiency in many ASEAN countries further enhances the region’s appeal to international businesses.

Government Incentives

ASEAN governments have been proactive in creating a favorable investment climate. Various incentives, such as tax breaks, reduced tariffs, and simplified regulatory processes, have been introduced to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Additionally, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) aims to create a single market and production base, facilitating the free flow of goods, services, investment, skilled labor, and capital.

Spotlight on Cambodia

Among the ASEAN nations, Cambodia stands out for its aggressive pursuit of foreign investment. The Cambodian government has demonstrated a strong commitment to creating an investor-friendly environment through a series of reforms and incentives.

Government Initiatives

The Cambodian government has rolled out several initiatives to attract FDI. These include:

1. Tax Incentives: Investors can benefit from tax holidays, reduced corporate tax rates, and exemptions on import duties for machinery and equipment.
2. Special Economic Zones (SEZs): Cambodia has established multiple SEZs offering world-class infrastructure, streamlined customs procedures, and other facilities to support businesses.
3. Investment Protection: Cambodia is a member of various international treaties that protect investors, such as the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and bilateral investment treaties.

Young Labor Force

Cambodia’s demographic profile is another significant advantage. With a median age of around 25 years, Cambodia has one of the youngest populations in ASEAN. This youthful demographic provides a steady stream of energetic and adaptable workers, ideal for labor-intensive industries such as manufacturing and services. The government has also focused on enhancing the skill sets of its labor force through educational reforms and vocational training programs.

Conclusion

The ASEAN region, with its vast market size, skilled labor force, and favorable government policies, offers immense investment potential. Cambodia, in particular, exemplifies the region’s commitment to attracting and nurturing foreign direct investment. Its proactive government policies, combined with a young and dynamic workforce, make it an increasingly attractive destination for investors looking to tap into the growth potential of Southeast Asia. As ASEAN continues to integrate and grow, the opportunities for investors will only expand, making it a region to watch closely in the coming years.

Northfield Strengthens Trade with Cambodia’s Francophonie Department

Toronto, Canada, June 8, 2024 – Mr. That Soun, CEO, and Mr. Andy Lim, Chairman and President of Northfield & Associates, convened with Mr. Chan Bonira, Director of the Francophonie Department, and his delegation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

The meeting focused on reinforcing the cooperation between Northfield & Associates and the Francophonie in Cambodia’s private business sectors. A key highlight was the Canada business network’s invitation to join the Rencontre des Entrepreneurs Francophones 2026, for which the Cambodian Chamber of Commerce has submitted its candidacy. Additionally, discussions covered Cambodia’s bid to host the upcoming Francophonie Summit in 2026.

Mr. Soun emphasized the significant role of both domestic and expatriate Cambodians in bolstering the national economy. The meeting underscored the importance of strengthening trade and investment ties between Cambodia’s private sector and Canadian markets, noting Canada as one of Cambodia’s largest trade partners. The dialogue encouraged Cambodian businesses to explore investment opportunities in Canada.

Despite the strong existing relationship, bilateral trade and investment between Cambodia and Canada remain limited. To address this, Mr. Andy proposed the establishment of a joint trade visit to Cambodia. This initiative aims to enhance economic cooperation and explore opportunities in various sectors, including agriculture, industry, manufacturing, healthcare, information technology, and the environment.

In conclusion, the recent meetings reflect Northfield & Associates’ proactive approach to strengthening Cambodia’s international business relations. By fostering partnerships with Cambodia, Northfield & Associates aims to enhance trade, attract investment, and promote sustainable economic development in both countries’ sectors.

Our clients in Cambodia, Canada, and around the world are trailblazers, constantly testing boundaries, challenging norms, and striving for transformative change. We collaborate with visionary leaders globally to identify strategies that will shape the future. By leveraging innovation, we help our clients achieve net-zero targets, drive technological transformation, and build the capabilities necessary for sustainable success.

Working hand-in-hand with our clients, we are accelerating progress toward a future that is not only more sustainable but also inclusive and prosperous for all, both locally in Cambodia and Canada, as well as internationally.

Our Firm

Structured as a unified global partnership, Northfield & Associates operates with a shared set of values across our offices in Cambodia, Canada, and globally. We are committed to attracting and nurturing a diverse, talented workforce while driving long-term change for our clients worldwide. As a sector-focused, international consulting firm, we understand that consultancy is not just about strategies, it’s about people. The best outcomes arise from close relationships built on trust, collaboration, and shared goals.

The role of consultants has evolved. Today, businesses in Cambodia, Canada, and internationally seek not just expertise but partners who anticipate challenges, create positive experiences, and align with their values. We embrace these evolving expectations, proactively addressing challenges and investing in both results and the journey to reach them.

Why Us?

We believe in the power of relationships to deliver tangible business results.  We collaborate openly with our colleagues and clients – working across office, service and sector boundaries to bring you the best of our firm, wherever you need us to be.

Who We Are

We are a cohesive global partnership committed to delivering lasting, meaningful change in Cambodia, Canada, and around the world. Our foundation is built on values and a collective mission: helping clients achieve success while creating an environment where exceptional talent thrives.

Northfield & Associates is a sector-focused, international consulting firm that believes that consultancy matters are people matters and it takes closer relationships between people and teams to get to the best results, in the right way.

It used to be that good lawyering was mostly about knowing the law and delivering sound opinions. Today, businesses need more and demand more.

We know our clients want consultancy advisers by their side, anticipating what’s ahead and creating positive experiences for their teams. They want to work with others who share their values and do business responsibly.

We take on the new realities of business in a positive and proactive way, invest in the result, and care about how we get there.

Northfield & Associates is where chemistry creates opportunity:

• Partner consulting and legal professionals around the world
• Committed to the communities we serve, including through pro bono work, volunteerism and fundraising initiatives.
• A great place to work built upon an inclusive culture that celebrates diversity.
• Routinely recognised by the world’s top consultancy rankings organisations, including Chambers.
• Focused on key global sectors, including energy, financial services, life sciences, natural resources, infrastructure, real estate and tech.

Our Values

Our values guide everything that we do:

• The power of teamwork:
  We believe we can achieve much more if we work together as a team with our clients and colleagues – however talented we are as individuals. We collaborate seamlessly across services, sectors and offices – focused on the greater good for the client and the firm.
• Always striving to be better:
  We are always striving to improve our service to clients and the way we run our own business – ambitious to improve in a highly competitive market.
• We all bring something different:
  We all bring different backgrounds, strengths and perspectives to the team. This diversity and openness make us more relevant and valuable to our clients.

Responsible Business

We believe that every business has a responsibility to its communities and the environment, as well as its people and clients.

• Great place to work
  We’re proud to be recognised as a top employer, and actively encourage DE&I. This means we attract the best talent, as well as great clients. Our clients know that strong values combined with motivated and engaged consultants and lawyers results in teams that approach problems with creativity and ingenuity.
• Diversity, equity and inclusion
  Fostering a truly equitable and inclusive culture – one that celebrates difference and encourages everyone to be their true self – requires work and engagement at every level. Our diversity, equity and inclusion strategies encompass a number of key areas.
• Sustainable business
  We recognise our operations, services and offices have an environmental impact. On an ongoing basis, around the world, we work to mitigate these impacts through a number of targeted environmental initiatives.
• Giving back to our communities
  We believe in supporting the communities we serve and giving back to those most in need. Across our global offices, we volunteer with, fundraise for and provide pro bono legal advice to a number of local charities and non-profit organisations engaged in important and impactful work.
