The Group has accumulated over 10 years of experience specialising in structural engineering works and wet architectural works in Singapore.
Looking ahead, the Group expects that the demand in construction industry in Singapore will continue to grow. The outlook for the construction industry in Singapore remains optimistic.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The Group is a Singapore-based contractor specialising in structural engineering works and wet architectural works. Structural engineering works are comprising (i) reinforced concrete works which include steel reinforcement works, formwork erection and concrete works; and (ii) precast installation works. Wet architectural works are comprising (i) masonry building works; (ii) plastering and screeding works; (iii) tiling works; and (iv) waterproofing works.
The Group participates various building and infrastructure projects in both public and private sector in Singapore. Public sector projects include the building of hospitals and MRT stations which are initiated by the Singapore Government departments, statutory bodies or Government-controlled entities. Private sector projects include the building of residential estates, office buildings and data centres which are driven by property developers.
As at 29 February 2020, the Group had a total of 12 (28 February 2019: 16) projects on hand (including projects in progress and projects which are yet to commence) including 11 (28 February 2019: 13) structural engineering projects and 1 (28 February 2019: 3) wet architectural projects. The aggregated contract sum of the above projects is approximately S$194.0 million, of which approximately S$87.7 million has been recognised as revenue up to 29 February 2020. The remaining balance will be recognised as Group’s revenue in accordance with the respective stage of completion.
Prospects
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (the “COVID-19”), the Singapore government has taken emergency public health and safe distancing measures to reduce the risk of further local transmission of COVID-19. The measures include the closure of workplace premises. According to the estimates by Ministry of Trade and Industry, the construction sector shrank by 4.3% on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter of 2020, a reversal from the 4.3% growth in the previous quarter.
The construction projects are being suspended temporarily from 7 April 2020 to 1 June 2020 (the “Circuit Breaker Period”). It leads to slowdown the progress of projects during the Circuit Breaker Period while the Group is still responsible for relevant costs in order to maintain and upkeep the staffs and foreign workers. Under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 and the COVID19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020, all construction projects which have been suspended during the Circuit Breaker Period shall remain so even after 1 June 2020, until such time when the Building and Construction Authority’s approval on behalf of the Ministry of Trade and Industry is obtained for the relevant works to be restarted. Overall, construction activities in Singapore are slowly resuming. As at the date of this report, our construction projects remain suspended. The Directors expect that two of the Group’s projects to gradually resume work in July 2020. The Board has been closely monitoring the market conditions and reviewing the Group’s operation.
Facing the impact of COVID-19, the Group will continue to expand its local market share through undertaking more sizeable projects and implement the future plans as set out in the section headed “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds” in the prospectus of the Company dated 30 December 2019 (the “Prospectus”). The Group will use its best endeavor to bid for new projects by adopting a more competitive pricing strategy, strengthening its financial position by financing the upfront costs of its projects and its workforce. With an aim to generate strong revenue stream, the Group targets to tender for five sizeable projects starting from late 2020 and expect that the projects will last for three to ten years. With its established reputation and proven track record in the construction industry in Singapore, the Directors believe that the Group is wellpositioned to undertake more sizeable projects in Singapore to cater for the emerging business opportunities.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
The following table sets out the breakdown of the Group’s revenue derived from (i) the provision of structural engineering works and (ii) the provision of wet architectural works for each year indicated:
| FY2019/2020 S$’000 (Audited) |
FY2018/2019 S$’000 (Audited) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Structural engineering works | 59,232 | 54,887 |
| Wet architectural works | 6,367 | 9,466 |
| 65,599 | 64,353 | |
The revenue of the Group increased by approximately S$1.2 million or 1.9% from approximately S$64.4 million for the year ended 28 February 2019 (“FY2018/2019”) to approximately S$65.6 million for the year ended 29 February 2020 (“FY2019/2020”). Such increase was mainly due to the net effect of (i) the increase in revenue of structural engineering works of approximately S$4.3 million mainly attributable to certain new projects undertook by the Group as main contractor in FY2019/2020 which contributed approximately S$4.0 million of revenue; and partly offset by (ii) the decrease in revenue of wet architectural works of approximately S$3.1 million for the FY2019/2020 mainly due to delay in certain wet architectural works projects.
Construction Costs
The Group’s construction costs decreased by approximately S$1.6 million or 3.5% from approximately S$47.7 million for FY2018/2019 to approximately S$46.1 million for FY2019/2020. Such decrease was mainly due to the net effect of (i) the decrease in direct material costs of approximately S$3.1 million or 25.4% due to a project that involved a significant amount of direct material costs, also being one of the major projects in FY2018/2019, has been substantially completed in FY2018/2019; and (ii) the increase in construction costs other than direct material costs that is generally in-line with the increase of revenue.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
The Group’s gross profit increased by approximately S$2.9 million or 17.5% from approximately S$16.6 million for FY2018/2019 to approximately S$19.5 million for FY2019/2020. The Group’s gross profit margin also increased from approximately 25.8% for FY2018/2019 to approximately 29.8% for FY2019/2020. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin were both primarily due to the increase of revenue and the decrease of construction costs as discussed above.
Other Income
The Group’s other income decreased by approximately S$0.2 million from approximately S$1.6 million for FY2018/2019 to approximately S$1.4 million for FY2019/2020, mainly attributable to the combined effect of (i) the decrease in rendering services due to lesser demand on labour supply from other construction companies; and (ii) the decrease of rental income mainly due to one investment property was transferred to own use.
Administrative Expenses
The Group’s administrative expenses increased by approximately S$1.5 million or 15.4% from approximately S$9.8 million for FY2018/2019 to approximately S$11.3 million for FY2019/2020, mainly due to the combined effect of (i) the increase in staff costs of approximately S$1.0 million as a result of increase in number of employees and annual salary adjustment; and (ii) the impairment loss on investment properties of approximately S$0.2 million for FY2019/2020.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Income Tax Expense
The Group’s income tax expense increased by approximately S$0.1 million from approximately S$2.0 million for FY2018/2019 to approximately S$2.1 million for FY2019/2020, which was generally due to the increase in taxable profit for this year.
Profit for the Year
As a result, the profit for FY2019/2020 was approximately S$7.4 million as compared to approximately S$6.5 million for FY2018/2019, represented an increase of approximately S$0.9 million or 13.4%. If the non-recurring listing expenses of approximately S$2.1 million and S$1.9 million for FY2018/2019 and FY2019/2020 respectively and the non-recurring impairment loss on investment properties of approximately S$0.2 million for FY2019/2020 were excluded, the adjusted profits for FY2018/2019 and FY2019/2020 of the Group would have been approximately S$8.6 million and S$9.5 million respectively, represented the increase of profit of approximately S$0.9 million or 9.8%. The increase of the adjusted profit for the year was mainly due to the increase in gross profit as discussed above.
Capital Structure, Liquidity and Financial Resources

As at 29 February 2020, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents recorded an increase by 222.9% from approximately S$9.3 million as at 28 February 2019 to approximately S$30.1 million, which was mainly due to the proceeds received from the Listing.
The cash and cash equivalents of the Group, mainly denominated in SGD and HKD, are generally deposited with authorised financial institutions. As at 29 February 2020, 41.8% (28 February 2019: 93.0%) of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents was denominated in Singapore dollar and 58.2% (28 February 2019: 7.0%) was denominated in Hong Kong dollar.

As at 29 February 2020, the gearing ratio of the Group was negative, which was mainly due to the significant amount of Group’s cash and cash equivalents from the Listing proceeds (28 February 2019: negative).
Treasury Policy
The Group has continued to implement a prudent financial management policy and maintained healthy liquidity and capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholders’ value during the year. The Group strives to reduce credit risk by conducting ongoing credit assessments and trading with recognised and creditworthy customers. To maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of funds generated from operations, the management of the Group closely monitors the overall business performance and liquidity position. Taking into account the cash at banks, net proceeds of the share offer that are not immediately used for intended purpose and credit facilities available, the Directors considered that the Group has sufficient working capital for its present operation and meet its funding requirements all the time.

REPORT OVERVIEW
About this Report
CTR Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Group” or “We” and “us”) is a Singapore-based contractor specialising in structural engineering works and wet architectural works for both public and private sectors. Our structural engineering works comprising (i) reinforced concrete works which include steel reinforcement works, formwork erection and concrete works; and (ii) precast installation works. We also engaged in our wet architectural works, comprising (i) masonry building works; (ii) plastering and screeding works; (iii) tiling works; and (iv) waterproofing works. The Group recognises that it is of importance to share the common goals in supporting of sustainable development through our efforts in responsible business operations, caring of our people and the environment and creating positive impacts to our community.
We are pleased to publish our first environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) report (the “Report”), outlined our ESG management approaches, practices and environmental and social performance during the period from 1 March 2019 to 29 February 2020 (the “Reporting Period” or ”2019/20”), unless otherwise stated.
The Report was prepared in accordance with the ESG Reporting Guide as set out in Appendix 27 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The scope of the Report includes our core business in structural engineering works and wet architectural works. The environmental key performance indicators (“KPIs”) disclosure is included our office operation in headquarter, warehouse, employee accommodation, investment properties and the available environmental performance data of our twelve on-hand contract works[1] in Singapore during the Reporting Period. For information regarding the governance section, please refer to the section of Corporate Governance Report as incorporated in our Annual Report.
PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
The Group is committed to the minimising negative impact on the environment and utilising the natural resources in a responsible manner in our business activities. The Group has implemented an environmental management system certified with ISO 14001:2015 international standard, with the objective to systematically manage the potential environmental risks and opportunities and the associate environmental impacts with mitigation measures along our business activities as well as complying with the applicable environmental protection laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Environmental Public Health Act (Chapter 95 of Singapore), the Environmental Protection and Management Act (Chapter 94A of Singapore), the Environmental Protection and Management (Control of Noise at Construction Sites) Regulations and the Control of Vectors and Pesticides Act, Chapter 59 of Singapore). With regular management review on the environmental risks and the effectiveness of the environmental management system, this enables us to make continual improvement on our control practices and environmental performance.
During the Reporting Period, the Group was not aware of any non-compliance case with the relevant environmental laws and regulations relating to air and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, discharges into water and land, and generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
1 During the Reporting Period, the Group had continued to engage in structural engineering works and wet architectural works as a subcontractor. For the contract works that acted as subcontractors, the electricity consumption, water consumption, waste handling and wastewater discharge are mainly undertaken by the main contractors and no separate meter/measurement to quantify our electricity and water consumption as well as the amount of waste generation at construction sites. Hence, the Group only discloses the available environmental KPIs data that we can collect and quantify from our twelve on-hand contract works in the ESG Report.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT
Emission Management
Dust emission and the exhausted gas from diesel-powered mechanical machinery equipment and mobile vehicles at the construction sites are the major types of air emission arising from our contract works. We have taken various control measures and followed the practices required by the main contractors to minimise and mitigate the air emission at our construction sites. For instance, we spray water on the working areas prior to, during or after the drilling and/or grinding process and wash the vehicle wheels to remove the dusty materials when leaving the site to reduce the emission of fugitive dust. We also cover up the dusty material or stockpile to prevent construction dust dispersion out of the site area and cause nuisance to the neighbours. In order to reduce the air pollutant emission to the atmosphere, the Group strives to opt for fuels with lower sulphur content for all fuel-driven equipment and machinery and carries out routine maintenance of powered mechanical equipment and mobile vehicles to avoid the emission of excessive dark smoke.
The main source of the Group’s greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions are derived from fuel combustion from fuel-powered machinery and mobile vehicles owned or controlled by the Group (“Scope 1 emission”), the indirect emission of the purchased electricity from local power companies (“Scope 2 emission”) in headquarter of our business operations and the other indirect GHG emission from employee business travel (“Scope 3”). During the Reporting Period, the Group generated in total of 457.34 tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (“tCO2e”) of GHG emission.
All the wastewater generated at construction sites is centralised collected and treated by the on-site wastewater treatment facility installed by the main contractors before effluent discharge to ensure the discharge standard is met the statutory requirement.
Waste Management
Construction waste is the major type of waste generated from our construction works. The Group has applied of 4R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Replace and Recycle) in the hierarchy of waste management to minimise the waste production and direct waste disposal. Our project teams review the construction design, works methods and the project programmes of the project lifecycle before material ordering, with an objective to prevent material overstocking and reduce waste at source. Besides, we have allocated onsite waste segregation area to properly sort the construction waste from site work in order to recover the waste for reuse as many as possible. Recycling facilities are installed at our offices and construction sites to segregate the waste into recyclable and non-recyclable waste. The recyclables such as waste metals, timber and plastic are centrally collected by the main contractors for further handling or sent to licensed recycling contractors for recycling. In addition, precast concrete and reusable steel metal formwork are applied in our construction work to reduce on-site material consumption and wastage. Very limited hazardous waste is generated at the construction sites of our contract works and thus no data is quantified. During the Reporting Period, the Group generated 209.53 tonne of non-hazardous waste.

Energy Use
Diesel, gasoline and electricity are the main types of energy consumed in the business operations of the Group. In order to reduce the energy consumption and thus cutting down our carbon footprint, the Group has applied different measures and practices to optimise the energy efficiency. The key measures are summarised as follows:
-
Inspect fuel-driven mechanical equipment and machines monthly to ensure they are working in optimal conditions to reduce wastages of fuel and electricity;
-
Switch off all computer terminals, lights and electrical installations when leaving the office or not in use;
-
Select the electricity appliances and office equipment with energy saving and green label;
-
Maintain constant room temperature at an energy-efficient level 24–26 degree Celsius;
-
Post the energy saving signage on office equipment and at workplace to further remind our employees and subcontractor workers about the importance of energy saving;
-
Retrofit lights to more energy efficient lights such as LED and T5 fluorescent lighting.

The Environment and Natural Resources
The Group conducts environmental impact assessment and identifies potential and foreseeable environmental risks before the commencement of contract works, with an aim to devise corresponding mitigation measures to minimise the negative impacts on the environment at the earlier stage and conform with the legal requirements. Our project management teams determine the significant environmental aspects, including air emission, effluent discharge, waste and noise control, visual impact as well as other statutory requirements and their impacts associated with the different construction stages where appropriate. Relevant emergency preparedness plans are formulated in response to any emergency occurrence during the project execution.
Our construction works results in construction noise which can cause noise nuisance to the surrounding neighbourhood. In order to control noise level at our construction sites in line with the statutory requirement prescribed in relevant regulations, the Group carries out the building work under non-restricted hours to minimise the effect of emanates noise or vibration from our works towards the surroundings. Sound proofing canvas, noise barrier or enclosure for noisy plants and fence are set up to reduce the noise impact on the surrounding environment.
We also provide relevant environmental training and toolbox meetings with the topics related to energy and water saving, waste segregation and recycling and mosquitoes breeding prevention to increase our employees’ awareness on environmental conservation and public health. We also have regular onsite inspection with monitoring the site condition regarding to waste sorting and storage, site housekeeping and stagnant water, in order to maintain a good housekeeping at construction sites and prevent flies or mosquitoes breeding during summer season.
CARING FOR OUR EMPLOYEE
The Group values our employees and their contributions in which can thrive our successful business development and growth. We endeavour to create a collaborative, inclusive and diverse working environment for employees, as well as offering the opportunities of professional development and personal growth for building up our strong workforce. The Group has human resources management policies in place, with the coverage of remuneration and benefits, anti-discrimination, equal opportunities and staff recruitment management, and comply with all relevant labour laws and regulations in Singapore (i.e. The Employment Act, Chapter 91 of Singapore, the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, Chapter 91A of Singapore, The Central Provident Fund Act and The Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations 2012).

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT
We have introduced a series of safety management procedures and corresponding measures, including 1) risk management; 2) in-house safety rules and guidelines; 3) emergency preparedness and response; and 4) accident/incident investigation and reporting to evaluate the risk levels of the work tasks, eliminate and minimise foreseeable risks exposure to our workers. For each of our construction projects, the Group has assigned site safety coordination team to take charge of the safety issues and overseen the execution of the safety practices at the works site. Besides, we conduct regular safety inspections at works site to ensure the safety measure are properly maintained as well as continually identifying any potential safety risks in a proactive manner for accident prevention. For the projects which we act as subcontractors, we abide by the workplace safety and health management procedures and practices requested by the main contractors and submit risk assessment and safe work procedures which outlined our assessment on the risk levels of the work tasks, as well as precautionary measures to prevent injuries and accidents. Our safety supervisors mandatorily attends the regular safety inspections with main contractors in order to identify and mitigate the potential onsite safety hazards at earlier stage, improve the workplace safety conditions and prevent work-related incidents or injuries. Regarding to the office safety, all the office staff members are required to keep good housekeeping of their workstation and office areas and exercise care when using office equipment. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the office to prevent fire hazards. Regular fire drills are conducted to increase the staff safety awareness in potential fire hazards and fire escape.
The Group recognises that it is significant to foster the safety-centre culture at works site and enhance the safety ownership of our employees and subcontractor workers, through providing safety awareness training programmes. Daily toolbox meeting and pre-start analysis is arranged to our employees and subcontractor workers prior to work to enhance the workman knowledge in proper safe work practices at construction sites. Billboards and Notice boards are also displayed posters related to safety-related topics to alert workman towards good safety practices. Regular emergency drills (e.g. fire drills and chemical leakage drills) are conducted by our own project teams or by the main contractors to equip the necessary knowledge and skills of the workers onsite to handle the emergency.
Notwithstanding the Group has taken in place of adequate safety preventive measures, accident may still occur at our construction sites. In event of any accident occurs, the injured worker (including our employees and our subcontractor’s employees) or the person who witnessed the accident is required to immediately report their direct supervisor or department manager in-charge. The department manager in-charge will investigate into the accident and will submit an incident report form to our safety officer within two working days. For serious incidents such as fatal accidents, amputation cases or dangerous occurrences, our safety officer will form an incident investigation team to carry comprehensive accident investigation so as to identify the root causes of the incident and propose and implement effective preventative and corrective measures based on the investigation findings to prevent the recurrence of the incident. We will notify any reportable cases to the Ministry of Manpower of the Singapore Government within ten days after the accident occurred.
During the Reporting Period, the Group has complied with all the relevant health and safety laws and regulations (e.g. the Workplace Safety and Health Act, Chapter 354A of Singapore, the Work Injury Compensation Act, Chapter 354 of Singapore, The Workplace Safety and Health (Construction) Regulations 2007, Workplace Safety and Health (Scaffolds) Regulations 2011 and Workplace Safety and Health (Risk Management) Regulations. We were not aware of any noncompliance case with the relevant laws and regulations.

PURSUIT IN SERVICE EXCELLENCE
Supply Chain Management
The Group believes that maintaining close collaboration with a wide range of business partners, such as subcontractors and suppliers in our business operations can uphold our high quality of service and maintain our competitive advantage in our sector.
The Group has set up stringent policy in supplier selection and performance assessment. Before engaging a new supplier (including subcontractors), we fill in the pre-acceptance assessment form and evaluate the background and track records of the suppliers, including 1) the type(s) and quality of material or service to be provided, 2) purchasing from Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority, 3) the registration grade of the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore (“BCA”) and BCA contractor licensing information, 4) previous track records in compliance with safety and statutory requirements, 5) previous building works experience and 6) delivery time and reputation. Only supplier who can fulfil our requirements can qualify as approved suppliers and include in our approved subcontractor and supplier list. Our existing approved suppliers undergo annual performance assessment based on a range of factors, including but not limited to quality of materials or services provided, price quotation and timeliness of delivery, to ensure their performance standard up to our requirements and contract specifications.
The Group also outlines our expectations and requirements to our subcontractors in the course of a construction project to enhance the mutual sustainability performance during our operations. For example, our procurement decision is made not only based on the best price, but also taking other considerations into account such as the quality, timeliness, supplier reputation, ethical production and resourcing and terms of trade. We also require our contractors to employ workers with at least one year of working experience in Singapore, provide personal protective equipment and safety rests to workers, participate in our on-site toolbox meetings for understanding potential workplace safety and health issues and project-related matters and aligning with the standards set by our projects department. This is to ensure the subcontractors can jointly shoulder the responsibility on workplace safety. On the other hand, the Group has adopted several measures to mitigate the risk of engaging illegal workers under our subcontracted works. For example, we conduct preliminary background check on new subcontractors prior to our engagement to ascertain whether they had been involved in any incident of hiring illegal workers in the past. We also request our subcontractors to provide copies of the valid work passes for the suspects illegal workers as prove, before allowing them to continue to work at our construction sites.
Product Responsibility
In order to provide quality building and engineering services that consistently meet legal requirements, safety standards and our customers’ expectations, the Group has obtained bizSAFE Level 3 certificate since 2010 and implemented a quality management system accredited with ISO 9001:2015 standard across our operations to continually improve our service quality in various aspects, including operational planning, control on production and service provision and customer satisfaction.
To smoothen the completion of the works, the Group forms a project team for each committed project, which is responsible for the preparation of project schedule and planning, the deployment of manpower, allocation of resources and engagement of subcontractors and suppliers for each stage of project lifecycle – from initiation, planning and design, construction and execution, monitoring and control to completion, to ensure the project execution with its deliverables is fulfilled the contract specifications and requirements.
Our project teams conduct rigorous quality assurance inspections periodically to ensure the building engineering works are constructed in conformance with the approved design drawings and method statements, as well as the statutory building requirements to safeguard the quality and safety of the building works. Regular progress meetings with our subcontractors are arranged to follow up the project progress and the quality of construction works. This enable us to address the potential and foreseeable quality and safety risks during the construction and the customers’ concerns, as well as timely rectifying the identified defects at the earlier stage so as to fulfil the customer expectations and demands.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT
Notes:
1. Due to the business nature of structural engineering works and wet architectural works, no packaging material is consumed in the business operation. The air emission, GHG emission, energy and water use, and waste generated includes the headquarter, warehouse, employee accommodation, investment properties and the twelve on-hand contract works which were able to obtain available environmental KPIs data during the Reporting Period.
2. The direct GHG emission (Scope 1) covers the emission from the fuel combustion of stationary and mobile sources. The indirect emission (Scope 2) covers the emission from the purchased electricity from local power companies. The other indirect GHG emission (Scope 3) covers the emission from the business travel of employees only. For the calculation of GHG emissions, we made reference to GHG Protocol guidelines, the Electricity Grid Emissions Factors and Upstream Fugitive Methane Emission Factor published by Energy Market Authority under the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Singapore government and the Greenhouse Gas Reporting: Conversion Factors published by the UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy in 2019.
3. The GHG emission intensity is the sum of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission, divided by the total project revenue of the twelve on-hand contract works and the total gross floor area of the headquarter, warehouse, employee accommodation and investment properties respectively.
4. The figure only covers the emission from mobile vehicles. We will review the data collection system and enhance the data disclosure in the future.
5. The data of electricity consumption and electricity intensity cover the consumption of headquarter, warehouse, employee accommodation and investment properties only. Since the electricity consumption at construction sites was mainly borne by the main contractors or generated by the gensets on-site, hence, there was no available data of purchased electricity for contract works.
6. The figure covers the consumption of our office operation in headquarter only.

Independent auditor’s report
To the directors of CTR Holdings Limited
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
OPINION
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CTR Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 49 to 93, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 29 February 2020, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended 29 February 2020, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 29 February 2020, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended 29 February 2020 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
KEY AUDIT MATTERS (Continued)
Accounting for construction contracts
Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contracts, including variation orders. The Group recognises contract revenue over time, based on the contract costs incurred to date as a proportion of the estimated total contract costs to be incurred (“cost-based input method”). A contract asset is recognised when the Group has performed under the contract but has not yet billed the customer. Conversely, a contract liability is recognised when the Group has not yet performed under the contract but has received advance payments from the customer. During the year, the Group recognised $65,599,000 of revenue from its construction contracts. As at year end, the Group has recorded $14,322,000 of contract assets and $1,372,000 of contract liabilities. Significant management assumptions including labour cost, raw material cost, sub-contractor cost and duration of contract period, are required in estimating the total contract costs and the recoverable amount of variation works that affect the completion progress and the amount of revenue. Any changes in the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the results of the Group. As such, we determined this to be a key audit matter.
Refer to the disclosures in Note 5 and Note 14 to the financial statements.
As part of our audit, we, amongst others:
-
Obtained an understanding of internal controls with respect to project management, project results estimation process and accounting for project contract.
-
Discussed the status of projects under construction with the management and project managers to assess the reasonableness of the forecasted results of the projects, including the effect of variation orders.
-
Assessed the mathematical accuracy of the revenue calculation.
-
Evaluated assumptions used by management in determining completion progress of the projects, revenue, costs, and provisions for projects with expected losses and liquidated damages, where applicable.
-
Obtained an understanding of the progress of the construction contracts by reviewing payment certificate approved by the main contractor, supplier invoices and correspondences between the Group and the main contractors.
-
Evaluated the presentation and disclosure of construction contracts.
Impairment of trade receivables and contract assets
The Group’s trade receivables and contract assets were significant as they represented 9 % and 24% of the total assets as at 29 February 2020, respectively.
Total trade receivables and related allowance for impairment of trade receivables amounted to $5,649,000 and $85,000 respectively. Total contract assets and related allowance for impairment of contract assets amounted to $14,542,000 and $220,000 respectively.
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate the expected credit loss for trade receivables and contract assets, which is determined based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. As trade receivables and contract assets impairment assessment requires significant management judgement and estimation, we determined that this is a key audit matter.
Refer to the disclosures in Note 14 and Note 15 to the financial statements.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (Continued)
Impairment of trade receivables and contract assets (Continued)
As part of our audit, we, amongst others:
-
Obtained an understanding of the Group’s processes and controls relating to the monitoring of trade receivables and contract assets and review of credit risks of customers.
-
On a sample basis, obtained trade receivable confirmations and evidence of receipts from the customers subsequent to the year end.
-
Evaluated management’s assumptions and estimates used to determine the trade receivables impairment amount through testing of the accuracy of ageing of the trade receivables.
-
Where applicable, review customers’ payment history and correspondences between the Group and the customers on expected settlement dates.
-
Assessed the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures on the trade receivables and contract assets.
OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs issued by the IASB and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors of the Company either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors of the Company are assisted by the Audit Committee in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is LAW Kwok Kee.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
29 February 2020
2.1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), which include all International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. These financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars (“SGD” or “S$”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (“S$’000”) except when otherwise indicated.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) for the year ended 29 February 2020. A subsidiary is an entity, directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
-
(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
(c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has early adopted IFRS 16 “Leases” in previous years as disclosed in the Prospectus in connection with the Listing.
The Group has adopted the following new and revised IFRSs for the first time for the current year’s financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Amendments to IAS 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015–2017 Cycle Amendments to IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23
The adoption of the above new and revised standards has no significant financial effect on these consolidated financial statements.
2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business[1] Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform[1] Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (2011) Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture[4] IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[2] Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material[1] Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current[3]
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 4
No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption
Further information about the IFRSs that are expected to be applicable to the Group is described below.
Amendments to IFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (Continued)
The Group expects to adopt the amendments prospectively from 1 March 2020. Since the amendments apply prospectively to transactions or other events that occur on or after the date of first application, the Group will not be affected by these amendments on the date of transition.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 address the effects of interbank offered rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2020. Early application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (2011) address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and in IAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require a full recognition of a gain or loss when the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture constitutes a business. For a transaction involving assets that do not constitute a business, a gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The previous mandatory effective date of amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (2011) was removed by the IASB in January 2016 and a new mandatory effective date will be determined after the completion of a broader review of accounting for associates and joint ventures. However, the amendments are available for adoption now.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. The Group expects to adopt the amendments prospectively from 1 March 2020. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.
2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair value measurement (Continued)
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 –
based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets, financial assets, investment properties and non-current assets/ a disposal group classified as held for sale), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policy for that revalued asset.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. When an item of property, plant and equipment is classified as held for sale or when it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale, it is not depreciated and is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5, as further explained in the accounting policy for “Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale”. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.
Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:
| Useful lives | Useful lives | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Office units | 39 | to 60 years | |||
| Computers | 3 years | ||||
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 years | ||||
| Office equipment | 5 years | ||||
| Motor vehicles | 5 years | ||||
| Renovation | 5 years |
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.
An item of property, plant and equipment including any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.
Investment properties
Investment properties are interests in land and buildings held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or for sale in the ordinary course of business. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year/period of the retirement or disposal.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
(a) Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. The right-ofuse assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section Impairment of non-financial assets.
(b) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as an expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments from change in an index or rate, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
(c) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of dormitories (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Leases (Continued)
Group as a lessor
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
Investments and other financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 in accordance with the policies set out for “Revenue recognition” below.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling. Financial assets which are not held within the aforementioned business models are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
29 February 2020
2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:
-
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
-
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
General approach
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When making the assessment, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including historical and forward-looking information.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of financial assets (Continued)
General approach (Continued)
Financial assets at amortised cost are subject to impairment under the general approach and they are classified within the following stages for measurement of ECLs except for trade receivables and contract assets which apply the simplified approach as detailed below.
-
Stage 1 Financial instruments for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs
-
Stage 2
-
Financial instruments for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but that are not credit-impaired financial assets and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs
-
Stage 3
-
Financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date (but that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired) and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs
Simplified approach
For trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component or when the Group applies the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component, the Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Under the simplified approach, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, amount due to related parties.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
Warranty provisions
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised when the construction is completed. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.
Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income tax (Continued)
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
-
when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if and only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except, where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable, and receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the statement of profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments or deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and released to the statement of profit or loss by way of a reduced depreciation charge.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of goods or services is transferred to the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
When the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the amount of consideration is estimated to which the Group will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
When the contract contains a financing component which provides the customer with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer for more than one year, revenue is measured at the present value of the amount receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Group and the customer at contract inception. When the contract contains a financing component which provides the Group a significant financial benefit for more than one year, revenue recognised under the contract includes the interest expense accreted on the contract liability under the effective interest method. For a contract where the period between the payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services is one year or less, the transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component, using the practical expedient in IFRS 15.
(a) Construction services
Revenue from the provision of construction services is recognised over time. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue from the provision of construction services is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion, as the entity’s performance creates or enhances the asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. Contract expenses are recognised as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity.
The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of costs incurred to date over the estimated total costs of the project. The total budgeted cost used by the project is derived from budgets approved on the contract. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Progress billings to customers are based on a payment schedule in the contract and are typically triggered upon achievement of specified construction milestones.

Revenue recognition (Continued)
Other income
(a) Rendering of services
Rendering of services relates to revenue derived from the provision of labour. Revenue is recognised when the performance obligation in relation to the services is completed.
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.
(c) Rental income
The Group generates rental income from the lease of its office units. Rental income is recognised on a time proportion basis over the lease terms.
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment, details of which are included in the accounting policies for impairment of financial assets.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised when a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related services to the customer).
Employee benefits
Defined contribution plan
The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. In particular, the companies incorporated in Singapore in the Group make contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the contribution become payable in accordance with the rules of the Central scheme.
Dividends
Final dividends are recognised as a liability when they are approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. Proposed final dividends are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Group’s memorandum and articles of association grant the directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are recognised immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.

Foreign currencies
These financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the year. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively). In determining the exchange rate on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to an advance consideration, the date of initial transaction is the date on which the Group initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Group determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of the advance consideration.
The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries are currencies other than the Singapore dollar. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into Singapore dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their statements of profit or loss are translated into Singapore dollar at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Revenue recognition for construction contracts
The Group adopts the input method and recognises revenue using the “Percentage of Completion” method. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (Continued)
Estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.
Accounting for construction contracts
The Group recognises contract revenue to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue from contracts is recognised in the profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion, using the input measurement method. In applying the stage of completion method, revenue recognised corresponds to the total contract revenue multiplied by the actual completion rate based on the proportion of total contract costs incurred to date and estimated costs to complete. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Income taxes
The Group’s exposure to income taxes mainly arises from Singapore. The Group recognises liabilities for expected amount to be paid to the tax authorities. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the Relevant Periods in which such determination is made. As at 29 February 2020, the carrying amount of the Group’s income tax payable was $3,386,000 (28 February 2019: $1,963,000) and deferred tax liabilities was $61,000 (28 February 2019: $84,000).
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group’s property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment to be between 3 to 60 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the estimated useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of these property, plant and equipment at the end of the years are disclosed in Note 12 to the financial statements.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assess whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at the year ended 29 February 2020. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The calculation of the fair value less costs of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cashgenerating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
Impairment of trade and other receivables and contract assets
The Group recognises lifetime expected credit loss (“ECL”) for trade and other receivables and contract assets, based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and general economic conditions. The amount of the impairment loss based on ECL model is measured as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition. Where the future cash flows are less than expected, or being revised downward due to changes in facts and circumstances, a material impairment loss may arise. The Group’s trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets at the end of the year are disclosed in Note 14, Note 15 and Note 16 to the financial statements.

Basic earnings per share for the year ended 29 February 2020 is 0.67 cents (2019: 0.62 cents). As at 29 February 2020, the Company had 1,400,000,000 ordinary shares in issue. The Company was listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 15 January 2020 by way of placing of 350,000,000 new shares and capitalisation of 1,050,000,000 shares resulting in 1,400,000,000 ordinary shares in issue. The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share has been retrospectively adjusted, assuming the reorganization had been effective on 1 March 2018.
No adjustment has been made to basic earnings per share as the Group had no potentially dilutive ordinary shares in issue during the years ended 29 February 2020 and 28 February 2019.

The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group’s trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.

29. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Group’s financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that reasonably approximate to fair values are as follows:
| As at 29 February 2020 Carrying |
As at 29 February 2020 Carrying |
As at 28 February Carrying |

| Non-financial assets Investment properties |
4,646 | 4,680 | 5,449 | 5,660 | ||||
Management has assessed that the fair values of trade receivables, other receivables and deposits, amounts due from/ (to) related parties, fixed deposits pledged to a bank, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
The fair values of investment properties have been valued by using the direct comparison approach, assuming sale of the properties by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.
Assets for which fair values are disclosed:
| Fair value measurement using Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) Significant observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Total S$’000 S$’000 S$’000 S$’000 |

– – 4,680 4,680 |
| As at 28 February 2019 Investment properties |
– – 5,660 5,660 |
During the years, there were no transfers of fair value measurements between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents. The Group has other various financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
Credit risk
The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and deposits and amount due from related parties, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments.
Since the Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. Further quantitative data in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements.
Liquidity risk
The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial instruments and financial assets and projected cash flows from operations. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of funds generated from operations.
The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at the end of the years, based on the contractual undiscounted payments, is as follows:

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)
Capital management
The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholders’ value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 29 February 2020 and 28 February 2019.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by the capital plus net debt. Net debt includes trade payables, other payables and accruals and amount due to directors, less cash and cash equivalents. Capital represents the equity attributable to owners of the Parent. The gearing ratios as at the end of the years were as follows:
| As at | As at | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 February 2020 | 28 February 2019 | |||
| S$’000 | S$’000 | |||
| Trade payables | 4,731 | 5,693 | ||
| Other payables and accruals | 2,382 | 2,298 | ||
| Amount due to related parties | 2 | * | ||
| Less: Cash and cash equivalents | (30,088) | (9,319) | ||
| Net equity | (22,973) | (1,328) | ||
| Equity attributable to owners of the Parent | 47,161 | 21,548 | ||
| Capital and net debt | 24,188 | 20,220 | ||
| Gearing ratio | N/A | N/A | ||
* Less than S$1,000
31. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
With widespread concerns about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the global economy is expected to be adversely impacted subsequent to the year ended 29 February 2020. This may affect the financial performance of the Group as well as on the recoverable amount of the assets after the reporting period. As the COVID-19 situation is still evolving, there is a significant degree of uncertainty over the length and severity of the outbreak. Therefore, the estimate of the financial impact cannot be reasonably determined at this juncture.
