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 NonCurrent[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.
– 12 –
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.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated as profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued during the year. The data used for the calculation is as follows:
| Profit for the year, attributable to owners of the Company used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share_(S$’000) Number of shares(’000)_ Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic earnings per share computation |
Year ended 29 February 2020 7,385 1,094,110 |
Year ended 28 February 2019 6,511 1,050,000 |
|---|---|---|
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.

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 announcement, 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.
– 21 –
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 well-positioned to undertake more sizeable projects in Singapore to cater for the emerging business opportunities.
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:
| Structural engineering works Wet architectural works |
FY2019/2020 S$’000 (Audited) 59,232 6,367 65,599 |
FY2018/2019 S$’000 (Audited) 54,887 9,466 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
– 22 –
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.
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.
– 23 –
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.
