SINGAPORE FOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED - FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT 2021
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended 30 September 2021
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 16 May 2019 as an exempted company with limited liability under Companies Law Cap 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands. The address of the Company’s registered office is at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands.
The Company is an investment holding company. The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “ Group ”) principally engage in the manufacturing and retailing of bakery products and operation of restaurants.
This unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars (“ S$ ”), unless otherwise stated, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
Prior to the incorporation of the Company and the completion of a reorganisation (the “ Reorganisation ”) in preparation for the listing of the Company’s shares on GEM (“ GEM ”) of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“the Listing ”), the Group’s business was operated by its subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore and Proofer Bakery & Pizzeria (collectively known as the “ Operating Companies ”), a sole proprietorship in Singapore, all of which were controlled by Goh Leong Heng Aris (“ Mr. Goh ”) and Anita Chia Hee Mei (“ Mrs. Goh ”) (together, the “ Goh Family ”). Upon completion of the Reorganisation on 24 April 2020, the Company became the holding company of the other companies comprising the Group.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND REORGANISATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three month ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (the “ IASB ”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Immediately prior to the Reorganisation, the Group’s business was conducted through the Operating Companies. Pursuant to the Reorganisation, the Group’s business was transferred to and held by the Company. The Company has not been involved in any other business prior to the Reorganisation and does not meet the definition of a business as defined under IFRS. The Reorganisation is merely a reorganisation of the Group’s business with no change in management and the ultimate owners of the Group’s business remain unchanged.
The Group resulting from the Reorganisation is therefore regarded as a continuation of the Group’s business under the Operating Companies. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented as a continuation of the Group’s business as if the Group structure has existed as at 1 July 2018.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.
