SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the board of Directors (the “ Board ”), I am pleased to present the annual report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2021 (the “ Year ”).

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

During the Year, the Group recognised revenue of approximately S$14.1 million (2020: S$14.7 million) and loss for the Year of approximately S$4.9 million, while the Group recorded profit for the year ended 30 June 2020, after adjusting the listing expenses amounted S$3.6 million, of approximately S$1.0 million.

PROSPECT

The Year had been filled with much uncertainty; the unforeseen Coronavirus outbreak had severely disrupted the local and international economies in unprecedented ways, and its impacts on the economy in the near future are not to be undermined. The Group was not spared from the aftermath of the pandemic as well. Our bakeries and restaurants have taken a significant hit when the Singapore Government implemented numerous measures in relation to the Coronavirus outbreak since April 2020, which resulted in a plunge in domestic consumption. While the situation has been improving and the Singapore Government has gradually relaxed the control measures, coping with the after-effects of the Coronavirus outbreak is another challenge altogether.

Against the unpredictable future, the Group has been striving to innovate, constantly seeking alternative ways to make our quality products more accessible and desirable to the public. The slowing down of the economy has inevitably affected the price sensitivity of consumers. In view of this phenomenon, we have adjusted the locations of new restaurants to minimise reliance on customer flow in downtown areas and central business districts and adopted a more prudent financial management policy in order to cope with the expected decrease in sales from dining-in customers, we will continue to monitor the market situation and evaluate the impact of the outbreak of novel coronavirus on its business operations.

The outbreak of the Coronavirus has undeniably slowed the expansion plans of the Group. Having monitored and assessed the current impact brought by the outbreak of the Coronavirus and the business needs of the Group, we had resolved to change the use of the unutilised net proceeds from the Share Offer. We believe this strategic move will enhance our core competitiveness, enhance synergies and is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors will continuously assess the plans for the use of the Net Proceeds and may revise or amend such plans where necessary, to cope with the changing market conditions and strive for better business performance of the Group.

APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board, let me take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our shareholders, business partners, customers, and employees for their continuous support and contribution to the Group. We are committed to delivering value and bringing good returns to all our stakeholders.

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

We are a fast-growing multi-brand Singapore-based F&B group that offers broad customer appeal. As at 30 June 2021, the Group has (i) 18 bakery outlets; (ii) 5 Japanese fast casual dining restaurants; (iii) one Western fast casual dining restaurants; (iv) 3 Chinese fast casual dining restaurant; and (v) one beverage kiosk all of which are in Singapore. In addition to this, the Group will open a Western restaurant in Shanghai, the People‘s Republic of China in the coming year.

For the Year, the Group recorded net loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company of approximately S$4.9 million, while for the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded adjusted net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company of approximately S$1.0 million after setting aside the non-recurring Listing Expenses amounting to approximately S$3.6 million.

The Directors are of the view that the major reason which led to a decline in the profits of the Group was the outbreak of Coronavirus during the Year. In order to curb the spread of the virus, the Singapore Government has implemented various safe-distancing measures to minimize human interactions. Examples of such measures are:

  • from 7 April 2020 to 1 June 2020, a partial nationwide lockdown, also known as the “Circuit-Breaker”, was implemented by the Singapore Government. During this period, except for those in the essential services business, residents are to remain in their respective places of abode. This has led to a plunge in traffic in areas where our stores are located at, and hence a significant decrease in revenue.

  • from 2 June 2020 onwards, the Singapore Government begun easing into a transition phase by slowly allowing businesses to open again. However, dining-in was still prohibited and hence the impact on our restaurant business was yet to be alleviated.

  • from 15 June 2020 onwards, the Singapore Government has allowed for social gatherings, including dining-in at food and beverage establishments, with a maximum of five people per group, and a distance of one meter between each group.

  • from 16 May 2021 to 13 June 2021, the Phase 2 (Heightened Alerts) measures was implemented by the Singapore Government. During this period, dining in at food and beverage outlets was prohibited, work-fromhome will be the default mode of work such the employers must ensure that employees who are able to work from home should do so.

As a result of these measures, there was a drastic decrease in footfall in areas where our stores are located at. Consequently, there was a drop in revenue. The impact on our restaurants was even direr, with the restrictions on dine-ins implemented.

OUTLOOK

The Group is constantly seeking ways to enhance our operational efficiency and the profitability of our business. The Group will also proactively explore opportunities to expand our customer base and our market share which will boost value to our shareholders.

10

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The net proceeds from the Share Offer will provide financial resources to the Group to meet and achieve our business objectives and strategies which will further strengthen the Group’s market position in Singapore and Hong Kong.

With the constant change in consumer preferences and spending patterns, there is a need for the Group to diligently revise its business strategies and also to explore alternative concepts within F&B industry.

With all the uncertainty arising from the outbreak of the Coronavirus, consumers are increasingly price-sensitive. To adapt to this trend, the Group has launched new products which are pocket-friendly but without any compromise on quality since last year.

In addition, the Group has ventured into several new concepts. During the year, the Group has commenced operations for one bubble tea outlet, which was converted from a former “Yuba” outlet and three Chinese fast casual dining restaurant.

The Group is striving to expedite the expansion plans laid out in the announcement dated 23 June 2021, as well as expansions for new concepts. The coming year will be a year of recovery and aggressive expansions. We will also devote resources to improving the efficiency of our processes and through all these, enhance the value brought to our stakeholders.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF REPORTING PERIOD

The Directors are not aware of any significant event requiring disclosure that has taken place subsequent to the 30 June 2021 and up to the date of this report.

Bakery outlets

Our bakery outlets consist of outlets under the “ Proofer ” brand and the “ 300BC ” brand.

During the Year, our bakery outlets have generated total revenue of approximately S$10.3 million, which remain stable comparing to the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

Fast casual dining restaurants

During the Year, we have opened three Chinese fast casual dining restaurants, which generated approximately S$0.7 million for the Year. Our Japanese fast casual dining restaurants, which are under the “ Yuba ” brand, have generated revenue of approximately S$2.5 million, a decrease of S$0.5 million or 18.0% comparing to the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

The overall decrease in revenue generated by our fast casual dining restaurants was largely due to the following reasons:

  • decrease in customer traffic, as a result of the Singapore Government’s implementation of the numerous measures in relation to the Coronavirus outbreak;

  • restriction on dine-ins to a group size of five persons per table, and with safe-distancing requirements of at least one meter between each table within the restaurants from 20 June 2020 onwards;

  • prohibition of dining in at F&B outlets due to the safe distancing measures implemented by the Singapore government from 16 May 2021 to 13 June 2021 in response to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

There was a increase in our cost of leasing for our operations by approximately S$1.3 million, or 31.0%, from approximately S$4.3 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 to approximately S$5.6 million for the Year. This increase in cost of leasing for our operations was due to the increase in depreciation of right-of-use assets, which in line with the increase in number of outlets during the Year.

The total cash outflow for leases during the years ended 30 June 2021 and 2020 were S$5,886,861 and S$3,901,533 respectively.

Depreciation of plant and equipment

Depreciation expense arises from the systematic allocation of the costs, less respective residual value of our plant and equipment over their respective useful lives.

There was an increase in depreciation expense of approximately S$0.2 million, or 26.8%, from S$0.6 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 to approximately S$0.8 million for the Year. This increase was due to the incurrence of fullyears’ worth of depreciation charges for outlets which were opened during the financial year ended 30 June 2020, whereas only partial-years’ worth of depreciation charges were incurred by these outlets during the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

Other expenses

Our other expenses consist of other operating expenses such as utilities, delivery agent service charges, legal and professional fees, and other miscellaneous administrative expenses.

There was an increase in other expenses of approximately S$0.6 million, or 41.9%. This increase was due:

  • increase in professional fees subsequent to the Listing.

  • increase in other operating expenses due to the opening of new outlets during the Year.

Net finance costs

Our net finance costs include interest expense on lease liabilities, bank borrowings, provision for reinstatement and effects of discounting of non-current deposits, offset by interest income on bank deposits earned during the financial year.

There was a decrease in net finance cost of approximately S$0.2 million or 15.1%. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in lease liability during the Year.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT

BOARD STATEMENT

We are pleased to present our ESG report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The Board holds the ultimate responsibility for the Group’s ESG governance. We always consider the environmental, social and governance risks that are material to our business operations in our strategy formulation and decisionmaking processes.

The global outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has brought devastating impacts to the F&B industry. The Group has responded swiftly to the challenges with dynamic management measures, such as collaborating with local delivery platforms, launching marketing and promotional initiatives, closing unprofitable outlets, open outlets under new concepts, etc.

We recognise that the health of our employees and the safety of our food are the most important drivers of the Group’s sustainable development. In light of Covid-19’s pervasive health impact, we have placed strong emphasis in monitoring the health condition of our employees and implementing stringent controls to ensure the safety of our products offered to customers.

We are generally satisfied of the Group’s performance in meeting the targets of zero COVID-19 infection cases and food safety complaints during the reporting period. There were no reported breaches of local laws and regulations relating to environmental discharges, employment practice, COVID-19 protocol, food safety in Singapore.

As we continue our sustainability journey, performance targets that are relevant to the material ESG issues will be progressively added and monitored. The other goals we want to achieve and report in the coming three to five years include reduction in consumption of energy and resources, minimisation of unsold items and food wastages.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board

Aris Goh

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

The Group’s business is mainly involved in the operation of bakery outlets, restaurants and cafés in Singapore. The nature of activities carried out by the Group does not result in significant emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, discharges into water and land, generation of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Climate-change issues do not have significant impact on the Group’s business activities.

Nevertheless, we understand the importance of environmental protection and attempt to adopt eco-friendlier and energy saving practices in our business activities. During the reporting period, we have zero instances of reported breaches with any environmental protection laws and regulations in Singapore.

Environmental targets in 2021

  1. Use motor vehicles that comply with the national standards for emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases;

  2. Minimise food wastages including unsold products; and

  3. Reduce consumption of electricity and water by 3% compared to the prior fiscal year.

Material Area 1: Air Pollutants and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The National Environment Agency (“ NEA ”) is the governing body that monitors and controls the emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases in Singapore. Laws and regulations to protect the air quality are mainly the Environmental Protection and Management Act (“ EPMA ”) and the Environmental Public Health Act (“ EPHA ”).

The main source of air pollutants in our business operations is the use of motor vehicles. The greenhouse gases are mainly generated from the (i) the use of motor vehicles and (ii) the consumption of electricity in our Food & Beverage (“ F&B ”) outlets and head office.

Motor vehicles — air pollutants and greenhouse gases

All diesel and petrol vehicles used by the Group adhere to the Euro VI Emission standards. These standards were published in 2018 by the NEA to control the emissions generated by motor vehicles and regulate the type and quality of fuel that can be used in Singapore.

The Group has total of 2 vehicles leased from third-party vendors at the end of our reporting period. The types of fuel and the usage for the vehicles are summarised as follows:

==> picture [455 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

24

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT

We have the following practices in place to reduce emissions from motor vehicles:

  • Lease brand new vehicles and utilize them for a maximum of three years.

  • Lease vehicles that comply with the latest national emission standards.

  • Perform regular vehicle maintenance to ensure optimal engine performance and fuel consumption.

  • Seek to continuously upgrade the fleet by selecting vehicles that are more fuel efficient and equipped with better eco-friendly technology.

For the reporting period, the total amount of air pollutants (i.e. SOx) emitted from our diesel vehicles are shown in the following table:

25

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT

Targets

The Group targets to reduce total emission of air pollutants and greenhouse gases by 3% in the next fiscal year, by creating greater awareness of energy saving amongst employees and using more energy-efficient motor vehicles.

Material Area 2: Food Wastes

The Group does not produce any hazardous wastes during the course of business operations. As such, the laws and regulations in Singapore relating to hazardous waste does not have a significant impact on our business.

The main non-hazardous wastes generated during the operation of our business are food wastes at our kitchen and unsold products at the end of each operating day. Our food wastes are disposed by a third-party-vendor at the waste-to-energy (WTE) plants for incineration.

We have the following measures in place to reduce food wastages in our business operations:

  • “First-In” and “First-Out” policy in our kitchens to reduce expired products.

  • Just-in-time and frequent purchases from the suppliers to prevent over-stocking of fresh materials.

  • Check that all kitchen food is stored in the refrigerators at the end of each day.

  • Daily unsold quantity of food products (i.e. bread) is reported to the management team by the outlet head.

  • Four bakery outlets would donate unsold products (i.e. breads) to a non-profit organisation.

Targets

The Group targets to reduce the wastage quantity by 3% in the next fiscal year, by monitoring the data of food wastes and arranging for more outlets to donate unsold products to non-profit organizations.

Material Area 3: Water and Electricity Consumptions

Water and electricity are scarce resources. The Group always encourage employees to adopt electricity and water saving habits in the F&B outlets (i.e. bakery, restaurant and café) and the head office.

Electricity

We recognise that investing in energy conservation not only reduces our carbon footprint but also helps our business in cost saving. The Group’s main areas of electricity usage are predominantly across the F&B outlets (i.e. bakery, restaurant and café) and the head office.

We have adopted the following measures to reduce our electricity consumption:

  • Turn off electrical appliances (i.e. ovens) in the kitchen half an hour before the end of operating hours.

  • Perform regular cleaning and maintenance of refrigerators to consume less electricity.

  • Purchase energy-efficient electrical appliances for the F&B outlets, such as LED lights and refrigerators with an NEA Tick Rating System of 4 and above, where 5 ticks represent the highest level of energy efficiency.

26

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

Material Area 6: Health and Safety

In Singapore, the major legislations to protect the employees’ health, safety and welfare are the Workplace Health and Safety Act (“ WSH ”), Work Injury Compensation Act (“ WICA ”), and Workplace Safety and Health Guidelines for Hotels and F&B Industries.

In light of COVID-19, the Singapore government authorities have established general and sector-specific advisories for workplace and F&B establishments. This has significant impact on the Group’s business operations as we need to comply with more stringent health and safety requirements that are introduced and updated constantly, such as “Safety Management Measures at Food & Beverage Establishments” and Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations. During our reporting period, the Group did not have any reported cases of non-compliance with the Covid-19 related protocols and regulations in Singapore.

It has always been the Group’s priority to protect the employees’ health and safety in our workplace. We have established the “Standard Operating Procedures for Outlet Operations”, which covers all precautionary measures that employees must follow to protect their health and safety in their working environment.

COVID-19 Safe Management Measures for Employees

We have implemented the following Safe Management Measures for all employees at our head office and F&B outlets, to ensure compliance with the Government’s advisory guidelines on COVID-19:

Take care of workers at outlets

  • Limit the number of employees at the office and F&B outlets, and implement split team arrangements.

  • No cross-deployment or interaction between employees in different shifts, teams or worksites.

  • Minimise physical contact among employees, conduct regular meeting via tele-conference.

Take care of workers at workplace

  • Encourage office workers to adopt work-from-home practices.

Moving forward, employees working at outlets that provide dine-in services will be required to undergo testing once every 14 days such as the antigen rapid test (ART) regardless of their vaccination status under the regular Fast and Easy Testing (FET) regime.

COVID-19 Safe Management Measures for Customers

We strongly value the health and safety of our customers especially during this COVID-19 pandemic. In line with the Singapore Government’s advisory on the re-opening of F&B establishments, we have implemented the following COVID-19 Safe Management Measures:

Vaccination-differentiated measures:

  • Only customers that satisfy one of the following the criteria are permitted to dine-in at our F&B outlet: (a) fullyvaccinated, (b) recovered from Covid-19 and can provide a valid Pre-Event Test (PET) exemption notice for the duration of his/her dine-in from an MOH-approved COVID-19 test providers, (c) have a valid negative PET result for the duration of his/her dine in from an MOH-approved COVID-19 test provider within the last 24 hours.

Table and Seating Management

  • Each dine-in group is limited to five or fewer persons, with at least one-metre spacing between groups.

  • Where tables/seats are fixed, table/seats should be marked out to accommodate groups of no more than five.

  • Do not accept reservations or walk-ins, or allow in their premises social gatherings with more than 5 people, even if they are split across multiple tables.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT

Queue Management

  • Clearly demarcate queue lines, put up signage to guide customers on where to queue to order and collect food, and ensure at least one-metre spacing between customers at areas such as entrance and cashier counters.

  • Demarcate a waiting area for customers and delivery personnel to pick up their food.

Contact Tracing

  • TraceTogether-only SafeEntry is implemented for customers and visitors at the outlet entrance.

  • All delivery personnel picking up food orders at F&B outlets with dine-in services must also do TraceTogetheronly SafeEntry.

Cleanliness and Hygiene

  • Require all service and kitchen staff put on their masks properly at all times.

  • Provide hand sanitisers to customers at the common areas.

  • Require the customers to put on masks before food is served and after meals.

  • Clean and disinfect the dining table immediately after each group of diners leave.

  • The common spaces and items, high-touch surfaces, interactive components are cleaned and disinfected after daily operating hours.

We have maintained zero cases of work-related fatalities in each of the past three years and none of our employees have been infected with COVID-19, during our reporting period. For the past three years, the Group’s reported injuries were also zero.

Material Area 7: Training and Development

We believe that continuous investment in our human capital is crucial for the Group’s sustainable business growth. Training and development programs would improve the skills and expertise of our employees to increase productivity and competitiveness at our workplaces.

The Group’s HR department is proactive in identifying suitable training courses for our employees. For food handlers in our F&B outlets, they are required to attend mandatory training programmes under the requirements of Singapore Food Agency (“ SFA ”). Our new hires would receive orientations and on-the-job trainings at the workplaces. Likewise, our office executives and management team are also encouraged to attend external courses to upgrade their skills and knowledge in their respective fields.

For the reporting period, total 12 of our employees attended SFA’s food hygiene training courses with an average of eight training hours, the breakdown is as follows:

Material Area 8: Labour Standard

Singapore published the Employment (Children and Young Persons) Regulations in 2000, where no child who is below the age of 13 years shall be employed in any occupation. The Prevention of Human Trafficking Act was also enforced in 2014, where any person who recruits, transports, transfers, harbours or receives an individual by any means of coercion or a child (below age of 18) for the purpose of exploitation shall be guilty of an offence. The legislations are enforceable for all business operations in Singapore.

As a law-abiding local enterprise in Singapore, we are committed to ensure that our Group does not hire any child and forced labour. We have formalised the minimum age requirement of 18 years old in the Group’s recruitment policies. Our HR department is responsible for collecting and verifying the personal information in each new hire’s identity card (i.e. Passport or National Registration Identity Card). A legal-binding employment contract is signed with each employee, for both permanent and part-time positions. Foreign workers are only hired after the work passes that allow them to work legally in Singapore are approved by the MOM.

In addition, the Group has formal procedures in place to eliminate illegal labour practices if discovered, including escalation, investigation, reporting to authorities, rectification actions etc. For the reporting period, the Group was not aware of any non-compliance with labour-related laws and regulations.

Material Area 9: Supplier management

The Group’s purchase activities in operations of F&B outlets are mainly for food-related products such as meat and eggs, vegetables and fruits, flour and sugar, sauces and spices, pastes and jam, drinks and teas, as well as packaging materials, cleaning detergents and equipment and etc.

Supplier Selection

We have stringent controls over our vendors selection and evaluation processes, which are formalised in the Group’s Procurement and Payables Management Policy.

Our vendors assessment criteria include food safety, product quality, delivery timeliness, price competitiveness, after-sales services, credit rating and company reputation. The set of criteria apply to both acceptance of new vendors and performance evaluation of existing vendors. We obtain the supplier’s profile and qualification documents for validity check. We also perform site visits to the suppliers’ facilities to inspect their processes and controls on food safety and quality.

To minimise disruption to business operations and ensure quality of raw materials, our suppliers are all locally sourced in Singapore. As at 30 June 2021, we have a total of 36 active vendors in the Approved Vendors List. To avoid excessive reliance on sole suppliers, we have two to three regular suppliers for each type of purchased material to ensure supply continuity.

Environmental and social impacts of suppliers

We do not include environmental and social factors as an assessment criterion of our vendors. Nevertheless, we will review and terminate the business relationship with the suppliers should there be press and media coverage on the negative environmental and social impacts caused by them, such as excessive pollutions and discharges to the environment, unfair treatment, exploitation of workers and food safety incidents.

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

31/F, Gloucester Tower The Landmark 11 Pedder Street Central Hong Kong

To the Shareholders of Singapore Food Holdings Limited

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Singapore Food Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 67 to 125, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, 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 then ended, 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 consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2021, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards 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 HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ 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.

OTHER MATTER

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 30 September 2020.

MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATED TO GOING CONCERN

We draw attention to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss of S$4,883,965 during the year ended 30 June 2021 and, as of that date, the Group had net current liabilities of S$2,400,265. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

62

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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. In addition to the matter described in the “Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern” section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matters

How our audit address the key audit matters

Impairment assessment of plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

Refer to Notes 3, 4, 16 and 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group had plant and equipment and right-of-use assets for its bakery outlets and restaurants amounting to S$2,528,414 and S$7,779,434 respectively, which constituted a significant portion of total assets as at 30 June 2021. Plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are subject to impairment assessment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Management reviews the financial performance of individual bakery outlets and restaurants at the end of each reporting period to identify if an impairment indicator exists.

Where indicators of impairment are identified, management identifies the relevant cash-generating units (“CGU”) to which these plant and equipment and right-of-use assets belong and estimates the recoverable amounts of these CGUs based on the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use calculation, whichever is higher. Based on the results of the assessments conducted, management determined that there were impairment on the Group’s plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of S$238,736 and S$2,026,353 respectively during the year ended 30 June 2021.

In testing management’s impairment assessment of plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, we have performed the following procedures including but not limited to:

  • Tested management’s assessments as to whether any indication of impairment exists;

  • For those bakery outlets and restaurants where there was an impairment indicator, assessed the appropriateness of the methodology used by management in determining the recoverable amount;

  • Compared the forecast operating results prepared in the prior year with the current year’s performance of the relevant bakery outlets and r e s t a u r a n t s t o a s s e s s t h e a c c u r a c y o f management’s historical estimation;

  • Assessed the reasonableness of the annual revenue growth rate adopted by management in the discounted cash flow projections by comparing them with historical performance of individual bakery outlets and restaurants, external economic d a t a a n d f i n a n c i a l b u d g e t a p p r o v e d b y management;

63

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Key audit matters

We focused on this area due to the magnitude of the carrying amounts of plant and equipment and right-ofuse assets and the significance of management’s judgments adopted in the key assumptions used in the impairment assessment, such as annual revenue growth rate and discount rate.

How our audit address the key audit matters

  • Evaluated the sensitivity analysis prepared by management on the key assumptions of the discounted cash flow projections to evaluate the extent of such changes to the recoverable amount; and

  • Considered the appropriateness of the relevant disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Based on our procedures performed, we found the key assumptions used by management in the impairment assessment of plant and equipment and right-of-use assets were to be supportable by available evidence.

OTHER INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon (“Other Information”).

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 DIRECTORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE 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 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 either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

64

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

AUDITORS’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, 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 judgment and maintain professional skepticism 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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.

65

SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

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.

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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

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 auditors’ 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 director on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Kwok Tsz Chun.

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs issued by the IASB. For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements (Continued)

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transactions that are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Going concern basis

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group recorded a consolidated net loss of S$4,883,965 and, as of that date, the Group had net current liabilities of S$2,400,265. Notwithstanding the above results, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which is dependent upon the success of the Group’s future operations, its ability to generate adequate cash flows in order to meet its obligations as and when fall due and its ability to refinance or restructure its borrowings such that the Group can meet its future working capital and financing requirements.

Also, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group will be able to finance its future financing requirements and working capital based on the following considerations:

1. Financial support

A substantial shareholder of the Company has agreed to continuously provide financial support for the continuing operations of the Company so as to enable it to meet its liabilities when they fall due and carry on its business without a significant curtailment of operations in the twelve months from the date of approval of consolidated financial statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Going concern basis (Continued)

2. Alternate source of funding

The Group is actively considering to raise new capital by carrying out fund raising activities including but not limited to right issue, open offer and placing of new shares.

3. Operating plans

Management has been endeavoring to improve the Group’s operating results and cash flows through various cost control measures and will focus on the existing business.

In view of the above, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that there will be sufficient financial resources available to the Group to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the directors of the Company have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Adjustments would have to be made to the consolidated financial statements to adjust the value of the Group’s assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities, respectively.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

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 listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains controls until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of consolidation (Continued)

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intra-group assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionable share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.

Separate Financial Statements

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable. Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group which qualifies as business combination, except for those acquisitions which qualify as a common control combination and are therefore accounted for using the merger accounting.

Under the purchase method of accounting, subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange and, all acquisition-related costs are expensed. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Subsidiaries (Continued)

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;

  • the Group’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or

  • the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.

(a) Sales of bakery products

Revenue from sales of bakery products is recognised at a point in time when the products are delivered.

(b) Operations of restaurants

The Group operates chains of restaurants and provides catering services. Revenue is recognised when the related services have been rendered to customers.

Leases

Definition of 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.

For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application, or arising from business combinations the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under IFRS 16 at inception, modification date or acquisition date, as appropriate. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.

As a lessee

Allocation of consideration to components of a contract

For a contract that contains a lease component and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The Group applies practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease component, and instead account for the lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases of office 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 recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of lowvalue assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets

The cost of right-of-use asset includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and

  • an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Leases (Continued)

As a lessee (Continued)

Right-of-use assets (Continued)

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 other than adjustments to lease liabilities resulting from COVID-19-related rent concessions in which the Group applied the practical expedient.

Right-of-use assets in which the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying leased assets at the end of the lease term is depreciated from commencement date to the end of the useful life. Otherwise, right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Refundable rental deposits

Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted under IFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of rightof-use assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments include:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;

  • the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group; and

  • payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Leases (Continued)

As a lessee (Continued)

Lease liabilities (Continued)

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, and are recognised as expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:

  • the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment.

  • the lease payments change due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review/ expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.

The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Lease modifications

Except for COVID-19-related rent concessions in which the Group applied the practical expedient, the Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

  • the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

  • the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

The Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset. When the modified contract contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the modified contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

Leases (Continued)

As a lessee (Continued)

Covid-19-related rent concessions

In relation to rent concessions that occurred as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group has elected to apply the practical expedient not to assess whether the change is a lease modification if all of the following conditions are met:

  • the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and

  • there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

A lessee applying the practical expedient accounts for changes in lease payments resulting from rent concessions the same way it would account for the changes applying IFRS16 if the changes are not a lease modification. Forgiveness or waiver of lease payments are accounted for as variable lease payments. The related lease liabilities are adjusted to reflect the amounts forgiven or waived with a corresponding adjustment recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the event occurs.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Singapore dollars) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of translation reserve.

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants related to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Such grants are presented under “other income”.

Employee benefits

Retirement benefits costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another IFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘loss before income tax’ as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Taxation (Continued)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduce to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for leasing transactions in which the Group recognises the rightof-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the Group first determines whether the tax deductions are attributable to the right-of-use assets or the lease liabilities.

For leasing transactions in which the tax deductions are attributable to the lease liabilities, the Group applies IAS 12 Income Taxes requirements to the leasing transaction as a whole. Temporary differences relating to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are assessed on a net basis. Excess of depreciation on right-of-use assets over the lease payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities resulting in net deductible temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment held for use in the supply of services, or for administrative purposes are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment on plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, other than goodwill

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its plant and equipment and right-of-use assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are estimated individually. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cashgenerating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established or otherwise, they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cashgenerating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. 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 (or a cashgenerating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and the net realisable value. Costs of the inventories are determined on a first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method and comprises invoiced cost. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligations, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

Provisions for the costs to restore leased assets to their original condition, as required by the terms and conditions of the lease, are recognised at the date of inception of the lease at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure that would be required to restore the assets, estimates are regularly reviewed and adjusted as appropriate for new circumstances.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivable arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with IFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

Classification and measurement of financial assets

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Classification and measurement of financial assets (Continued)

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”):

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both selling and collecting contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at FVTPL.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or

  • on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

In addition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that are required to be measured at the amortised cost or FVTOCI as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

Amortised cost and interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit-impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group performs impairment assessment under expected credit loss (“ECL”) model on financial assets which are subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9 (including trade and other receivables and cash at banks). The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“12m ECL”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting period. Assessment are done based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables without significant financing component.

For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, 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. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;

  • significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;

  • existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;

Significant increase in credit risk (Continued)

  • an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

Definition of default

For internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full.

Irrespective of the above, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events of default that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is creditimpaired includes observable data about the following events:

  • (a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

  • (b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;

  • (c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;

  • (d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

  • (e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

Write-off policy

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.

Measurement and recognition of ECL

The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data and forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights.

Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.

For collective assessment, the Group takes into consideration the following characteristics when formulating the grouping:

  • Past-due status;

  • Nature, size and industry of debtors; and

  • External credit ratings where available.

The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.

Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset.

The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting their carrying amount, with the exception of trade and other receivables where the corresponding adjustment is recognised through a loss allowance account.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as financial liabilities or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities (including trade and other payables, lease liabilities, amount due to directors and borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contracts is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values. It is subsequently measured at the higher of:

  • the amount of the loss allowances determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and

  • the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised over the guarantee period.

Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the profit or loss.

Related parties transactions

A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

  • (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:

  • (i) has control or joint control of the Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group.

  • (b) an entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) the entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others);

  • (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member);

  • (iii) both entities are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group. If the Group is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Group;

  • (viii) the entity or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Group or to the parent of the Group.

Close family members of an individual are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealing with the entity.

A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources, or obligations between the Group and a related party, regardless of whether a price is charged.

Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the consolidated financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s chief operating decision maker for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or to provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued)

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Determination on lease term of contracts with renewal options

The Group applies judgements to determine the lease term for lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal option, specifically, the leases relating to retails stores and office. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise renewal options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. Re-assessment is performed upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that is within the control of lessee and that affects the assessment.

When assessing reasonable certainty, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances including economic incentives/penalties for exercising or not exercising the options. Factors considered include:

  • If there are significant penalties to terminate (or not extend), the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).

  • Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset.

  • If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).

During the year ended 30 June 2021, extension options for eight leases were not exercised upon the expiry of the guaranteed lease term. As disclosed in Note 9, gain on lease modifications amounting to S$269,040 (2020: S$65,356) was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, upon derecognition of the relevant lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period, that might have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

Deferred tax asset

As at 30 June 2021, no deferred tax asset (2020: S$16,966) in relation to unused tax losses for certain operating subsidiaries has been recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position. No deferred tax asset has been recognised on the tax losses for non-operating subsidiaries due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. The realisability of the deferred tax asset mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future, which is a key source of estimation uncertainty especially in the current year given the significant uncertainty on the potential disruption of the Group’s retail and restaurant operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In case where the actual future taxable profits generated are less or more than expected, or change in facts and circumstances which result in revision of future taxable profits estimation, a material reversal or further recognition of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognised in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal or further recognition take place.

Impairment of right-of-use assets and plant and equipment

Right-of-use assets and plant and equipment are stated at costs less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. In determining whether an asset is impaired, the Group has to exercise judgment and make estimation, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred or any indicators that may affect the asset value; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, in the case of value in use, the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in estimating the recoverable amounts including cash flow projections and an appropriate discount rate. Changing the assumptions and estimates, including the discount rates or the growth rate in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.

As at 30 June 2021, the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and plant and equipment amounted to S$7,779,434 and S$2,528,414 (2020: S$12,556,248 and S$2,246,728) respectively. Impairment losses amounted to S$2,026,353 and S$238,736 (2020: S$Nil and S$Nil) were recognised for right-of-use assets and plant and equipment respectively during the year ended 30 June 2021. Details of the right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment are disclosed in Notes 17 and 16 respectively.

5b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, deposit, amount due from directors, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, borrowings, amount due to directors and lease liabilities. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The directors manage and monitor these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

The Group’s activities expose it to market risk (including currency risk and interest risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management strategy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. Because of the simplicity of the financial structure and the current operations of the Group, no hedging activities are undertaken by management.

Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group currently does not have a foreign exchange hedging policy. However, the management of the Group monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign exchange exposure should the need arises.

As at 30 June 2021 and 2020, the Group has exposure to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions that are denominated in currencies other than SGD. The foreign currency giving rise to this risk is mainly Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”) and Renminbi (“RMB”).

The Group’s currency exposure with respect to HK$ and RMB is as follows:

Foreign exchange risk (Continued)

Had SGD be strengthened/weakened by 5% (2020: 5%) against HK$ with all other variables held constant, the loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2021 would have been higher/lower by S$104,000 (2020: S$168,000).

Had SGD be strengthened/weakened by 5% (2020: nil) against RMB with all other variables held constant, the loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2021 would have been higher/lower by S$27,000 (2020: S$nil).

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate borrowings and lease liabilities. The Group manages its interest rate exposures by assessing the potential impact arising from any interest rate movement based on interest rate level and outlook.

The Group also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to its bank balances. The Group considered interest rate risk on bank balances is insignificant and thus no sensitivity analysis is presented.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, deposits and amount due from directors.

Risk management

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with investment grade credit rating are accepted.

The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to customers through channels with appropriate credit histories and to limit the amount of credit exposure to credit card companies and delivery services agents.

Sales to customers are required to be settled in cash or using electronic payment means, mitigating credit risk. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group is not exposed to major credit risk with respect to its business.

Credit risk (Continued)

Impairment of financial assets

Trade and other receivables, deposits, amount due from directors and cash and cash equivalent of the Group are subject to the ECL model.

For trade receivables, the Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure ECL, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the ECL, trade receivables has been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the invoice date. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 12 months before end of reporting period and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. According to the above mentioned consideration, the Group does not expect any significant default possibility and the ECL rate is minimal during the year.

For deposits and other receivables, management assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account the historical risk of default and capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. Loss allowance recognised, if any, was limited to 12m ECL as these financial assets at amortised cost are considered to be of low credit risk primarily because historically they had no history of default and the debtors had capacity to meet their contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. No impairment loss are provided for such financial assets as at 30 June 2021 and 2020. The ECL rate is minimal during the year.

For amount due from directors, the balance is managed collectively at the group level under the overall group treasury strategy. Management consider that the directors would have the capacity to meet their obligations in the near term. The management believe that there are no significant increase in credit risk of these amounts since initial recognition and the Group provided impairment based on 12m ECL. The ECL rate is minimal during the year.

For bank balances, the credit risk on bank balances are limited because the majority of the counterparties are reputable banks with high credit-ratings assigned by International credit-ratio agencies. The Group assessed 12m ECL for bank balances by reference to information relating to probability of default and loss given default of the respective credit rating grades published by external credit rating agencies. Based on the average loss rate, the 12m ECL on bank balances is considered to be insignificant and therefore no loss allowance was recognised.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the shorter and longer term. The Group maintains liquidity by a number of sources including orderly realisation of short-term financial assets that the Group considers appropriate and long term financing including long-term borrowings are also considered by the Group in its capital structuring. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping sufficient bank balances and available credit lines which enable the Group to continue its business in the foreseeable future.

The table below analyses the non-derivative financial liabilities of the Group into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table were the contractual undiscounted cash flows and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay.

6 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings plus total lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “Equity” as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position plus net debt.

(i) Singapore stepped income exemption comprises partial tax exemption scheme and also tax exemption scheme for new start-up companies. The tax exemption schemes for new start-up companies are introduced by the tax authorities under which new start-up companies are given tax exemption for the first three consecutive years of assessment upon meeting certain ownership criteria.

The Group qualifies for the partial tax exemption scheme for the financials year ended 30 June 2021 and 2020. This is because the subsidiaries of the Group fail to meet the ownership criteria for the tax exemption scheme for new start-up companies which require new start-up companies to be held by at least one shareholder who is an individual holding at least 10% of the ordinary shares.

(ii) Tax incentives refers to corporate income tax rebate given to all qualifying companies to ease business costs.

Rent concessions

On 5 June 2020, the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Amendment) Act (the “Act”) was passed in Parliament by the Singapore government. The Act provides a rental relief framework for Small and Medium Enterprises (“SME”) and specified non-profit organisations (“NPOs”).

Under the Act, SME and NPOs who are tenant-occupiers will enjoy up to 4 months of rental relief, subject to meeting certain qualifying conditions. The relief cover rental due from these eligible SME and NPOs for the months of April 2020 to July 2020, and the landlord are obliged to provide the rent concessions to tenants who meet the eligibility conditions set forth under the Act.

The Group has applied the practical expedient to all qualifying COVID-19-related rent concessions. Rent concessions totaling S$543,825 (2020: S$1,188,067) have been recognised in profit or loss for the years ended 30 June 2021 and 2020, with a corresponding adjustment to the lease liabilities.

Impairment assessment of plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

During the years ended 30 June 2021 and 2020, the Group’s business performance has been negatively impacted by COVID-19. Management has performed an assessment on the Group’s non-current assets, primarily comprising plant and equipment and right-of-use assets as at 30 June 2021 and 2020. In this connection, management reviewed the results of operation of each bakery outlet and restaurant, representing different cash-generating units (“CGUs”) in determining whether any impairment indicator exists with each of the CGUs under review. For those outlets where an impairment indicator was noted, management assessed the recoverable amount of the CGU based on value-in-use calculation using projected cashflow over the lease term of each outlet.

In preparing the value-in-use calculation of the relevant CGU, management considered the unprecedented economic impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s operation and the expected pace of recovery of the economy of Singapore. That calculation used cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-year period and adopted a revenue growth rate of 5.2% (2020: -16.3% to 1.0%) for the year ending 30 June 2021 and 1.5% (2020: 1.5%) for the following years. Other key assumption adopted in the impairment assessment is the discount rate of 10.9% (2020: 8.5%), which was determined based on the market’s weighted average cost of capital.

The results of the assessment indicated that the impairment charge amounted to S$2,026,353 and S$238,736 (2020: S$Nil and S$Nil) was made to right-of-use assets and plant and equipment respectively. The Group has also determined that a zero revenue growth after the first year will result in additional impairment loss amounted to S$155,999 and S$27,512 (2020: S$Nil and S$Nil) for right-of-use assets and plant and equipment respectively while a 2% increase in discount rate will have no further adverse impact for both years.
