ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

This announcement, for which the directors (the “ Directors ”) of Sunray Engineering Group Limited (the “ Company ”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this announcement misleading.

3. Revenue

Revenue represents the fair value of amounts received and receivable from provision of building protection works and supply of building protection products.

An analysis of the Group’s revenue is as follows:

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000
Contract revenue from provision of building
protection works, recognised over time:
Residential buildings 28,981 55,819
Community facilities (Note) 51,172 22,558
Commercial buildings 30,023 42,225
110,176 120,602
Contract revenue from supply of building
protection products, recognised at a point in time 68,767 78,676
178,943 199,278

Note: Community facilities include hospitals, police offices, museums, sports centres and other community facilities.

– 7 –

All the Group’s provision of building protection works are made directly with customers which are mainly construction companies and contractors in Hong Kong. The period of building protection works normally varies from 1 to 4 years. The customers for supply of building protection products are mainly located in Hong Kong and Macau.

4. Segment information

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “ CODM ”), being Mr. Lam Ka Wing (“ Mr. Lam ”), in order for CODM to allocate resources and assess performance. No operating segments identified by the CODM have been aggregated in arriving at the reporting segments of the Group.

Specifically, the Group’s reporting and operating segments under HKFRS 8 “Operating Segments” are as follows:

  • ‧ Provision of building protection works; and

  • ‧ Supply of building protection products.

The CODM makes decisions according to the operating results of each segment. No analysis of segment assets and segment liabilities is presented as the CODM does not regularly review such information for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment. Therefore, only segment revenue and segment results are presented.

As at 1 April 2019, the carrying amount of trade receivables is HK$14,929,000, net of allowance for impairment of HK$212,000.

Trade receivables represent the amounts receivable, after deduction of retention receivables. For provision of building protection works, the trade receivables usually fall due within 14 to 30 days after the work is certified. For supply of building protection products, the Group normally allows a credit period ranging from 15 to 30 days to its customers.

The following is an ageing analysis of trade receivables, net of loss allowance, presented based on the approval dates of work certified or dates of invoices at the end of the reporting period.

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000
0 to 30 days 15,240 7,222
31 to 90 days 6,736 12,824
91 to 180 days 560 454
181 to 365 days 681 189
Over 365 days 2,132 2,628
25,349 23,317

Before accepting any new customer, the Group assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customers. Recoverability of the trade receivables is reviewed by the management of the Group regularly.

In addition, the management of the Group is of the opinion that no event of default occurred for trade receivables past due over 90 days as the balances are still considered fully recoverable based on the management’s historical experience on the settlement pattern from these customers.

– 18 –

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for ECL prescribed by HKFRS 9.

For the other receivables including rental deposits, allowance for impairment was insignificant and thus negligible to be made since the management of the Group considers the probability of default is minimal after assessing the counterparties’ financial background and creditability.

14. Contract assets/liabilities

Analysed on a gross basis of:
Contract assets - provision of building protection works
Less: Allowance for impairment
Contract liabilities
– provision of building protection works
– supply of building protection products

(8,784)

As at 1 April 2019, the carrying amount of contract assets is HK$70,116,000, net of allowance for impairment of HK$550,000.

As at 31 March 2021, included in carrying amounts of contract assets are retention receivables of HK$19,788,000 (2020: HK$17,168,000), net of loss allowance of HK$89,000 (2020: HK$974,000).

– 19 –

Retention receivables represent the money retained by the Group’s customers to secure the due performance of the contracts. The customers normally withhold 10% of the certified amount payable to the Group as retention money (accumulated up to maximum 5% of contract sum), 50% of which is normally recoverable upon completion of respective project and the remaining 50% is recoverable after the completion of defect liability period of the relevant contracts or in accordance with the terms specified in the relevant contracts, ranging from 1 year to 2 years from the date of completion of respective projects. The amount is unsecured and interest-free.

The retention receivables, net of loss allowance, included in contract assets are to be settled, based on the expiry of the defect liability period of the relevant contracts or in accordance with the terms specified in the relevant contracts, at the end of the reporting period as follows:

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000
Within one year 1,915 2,125
After one year 17,873 15,043
19,788 17,168

As at 1 April 2018, the carrying amount of contract liabilities was HK$10,763,000.

At the end of the reporting period, contract liabilities represent advanced payments from customers for unsatisfied performance obligations and are recognised as revenue when the Group performs its obligations under the contracts which are expected to be satisfied within one year.

The changes in contract assets and liabilities are due to i) changes in the progress of contracting works when the Group satisfies the performance obligations under the contracts, or ii) reclassification to trade receivables when the Group has unconditional right to the consideration.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for ECL prescribed by HKFRS 9.

Management of the Group has continued to utilise our professional and committed workforce and financial resources to achieve maximum return to our shareholders.

Business Review

The Group is a Hong Kong-based building protection solution provider and our solutions integrate the provision of building protection works; and the supply of building protection products. Building protection works generally refer to the selection and use of appropriate building protection products in a building for protection against water, thermal, acoustic and fire.

The Group’s building protection works focus on waterproofing works; and are complemented by flooring works and joint sealant works.

The supply of building protection products refer to identifying, sourcing, promoting and distributing suitable building protection products to our customers to meet their varying needs and requirements. The building protection products supplied by us include waterproofing products, tiling products, flooring and other products.

During the year ended 31 March 2021, the Group had taken up 265 projects with an original contract sum of approximately HK$595.6 million in which the Group had completed 24 projects with an original contract sum of approximately HK$44.1 million.

Prospects

The impacts of COVID-19 epidemic (the “ Epidemic ”) have caused pressure worldwide and dampened the development of various industries, with no exception for the construction industry. Due to the sudden and rapid spread of the Epidemic, a series of enhanced precautionary and control measures have been undertaken by the governments across the world including Hong Kong and Macau. The significant reduction of social and business activities and the subsequent quarantine measures have adversely affected the economy in Hong Kong, including the slowdown in the progress of construction projects. As a result, some of the Group’s building protection works in the construction sites have been held up or delayed, such influences might continue until the Epidemic is contained and this would affect the operational and financial performance of the Group.

The Group estimates that the degree of COVID-19 impact would be dependent on the outcome of various preventive measures and the duration of the Epidemic. The Group is closely monitoring the market development and continuously evaluating the financial impact of the COVID-19 situation. Given the unpredictability of future development of COVID-19, the impacts to the Group could not be reasonably and accurately estimated at this stage. However, for the time being, the Group’s building protection work projects on hand are in steady progress and the Group did not experience any shortages or difficulties in the supply of building protection products.

Since the outbreak of the Epidemic in early 2020, the Group has implemented measures, including frequent workspace cleaning with disinfectant, ensuring the wearing of surgical masks of all staff at work, and conducting body temperature test to protect the health and safety of the employees. The Group will continue to closely monitor the development of the Epidemic and will take necessary actions to control costs and drive efficiency to maintain profitability and competitiveness in the market.

Going forward, the Group will continue to strengthen its market position by expanding its workforce and competing for more building protection work projects in Hong Kong. The Directors remain confident in the prospect of the Group and are committed in creating longterm and sustainable value for the Company and its shareholders.

Principal risks and uncertainties

There are certain risks that could adversely affect the Group’s operations and financial results. The major uncertainties may include:

  • (i) the Group derives revenue from projects and purchase orders of a non-recurrent nature, where there is no guarantee that customers will provide the Group with new business or that the Group will secure new contracts;

  • (ii) the Group determines the contract price based on estimated time and costs involved in the project. An under-estimation or ineffective cost management may adversely affect the Group’s financial results;

  • (iii) the outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide may significantly and adversely impact the Group’s business operation and financial performance;

  • (iv) the timing of the Group’s payment to suppliers may not match the receipt of payment from customers;

  • (v) the Group relies on its major subcontractors to help complete the building protection works projects. Any material surges of their charges or any substandard work by subcontractors will affect the Group to a large extent;

  • (vi) the Group relies on independent third party suppliers for production of all its own-brand building protection products; and

  • (vii) the Group relies on brand owners and manufacturers for the supply of building protection products to satisfy its business operation needs. Failure to secure a steady supply of these products to the Group may adversely affect its results of business operations.

Save as disclosed above, principal risks and uncertainties affecting the Group as disclosed in the Prospectus remain substantially unchanged since the listing of the Company’s shares on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “ Listing ”) on 23 April 2020 (the “ Listing Date ”) and up to the date of this announcement. For details and other risks and uncertainties faced by the Group, please refer to the section headed “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus.

The Group will continue to use its best effort to ensure it has sufficiently mitigated the risks present in its operations and financial position as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

The Group has adopted risk management and internal control policies to monitor the on-going compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, our Group has complied in material respects with the relevant laws and regulations that have a significant impact on the business and operation of our Group during the year ended 31 March 2021.

Financial Performance

The Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$178.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2021, representing a decrease of approximately HK$20.4 million or 10.2% as compared to that of approximately HK$199.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2020. Profit and total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2021 was approximately HK$12.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$7.0 million or 36.1% as compared to that of approximately HK$19.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2020. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the combined effect of the postponement and slowdown of certain construction projects in Hong Kong caused by the prolonged outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) during the year, as well as the increase in the Group’s staff costs and professional fee after the Listing.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

As at 31 March 2021, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$221.0 million (31 March 2020: HK$185.5 million), including pledged bank deposit and bank balances and cash of approximately HK$58.6 million (31 March 2020: HK$40.7 million), representing an increase of approximately HK$35.5 million, or 19.1%. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in recognised contract assets from the completion of our building protection works and cash proceeds upon the Listing.

Equity attributable to equity holders of the Company as at 31 March 2021 was approximately HK$171.2 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$47.7 million as compared to that of approximately HK$123.5 million as at 31 March 2020. Such change was primarily attributable to (i) the capitalisation of listing expenses; and (ii) the issue of 250,000,000 new shares issued at the price of HK$0.24 per share by the Share Offer on 23 April 2020.

– 26 –

The Group’s financial position remains solid and we have sufficient cash and cash equivalent to meet our liabilities when they become due.

Gearing ratio

The Group’s gearing ratio (dividing lease liabilities by equity attributable to equity holders of the Company at the year-end date) increased from 1.3% as at 31 March 2020 to 2.5% as at 31 March 2021. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in lease liabilities during the year ended 31 March 2021.

Current ratio

As at 31 March 2021, the Group had net current assets of approximately HK$165.2 million, representing a significant increase of approximately HK$46.7 million as compared to that of approximately HK$118.5 million as at 31 March 2020. As a result, the Group’s current ratio, which was calculated based on the total current assets divided by total current liabilities at the year-end date, increased to approximately 4.5 times as at 31 March 2021 from 3.0 times as at 31 March 2020.

Treasury Policy

The Group has adopted a prudent financial management approach towards its treasury policy and thus maintained a healthy liquidity position throughout the reporting period. The management of the Group regularly reviews the recoverable amounts of contract assets and trade receivables by performing ongoing credit assessments and monitoring prompt recovery and if necessary making adequate impairment losses for irrecoverable amounts. In order to achieve better cost control and minimise the cost of funds, the Group’s treasury activities are centralised and cash is generally deposited with leading licensed banks in Hong Kong and denominated in Hong Kong dollars.

FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS

Save as disclosed in this announcement as at 31 March 2021, the Group did not have any other plan for material investments or capital assets.

FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATION

The revenue of the Group is mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollars. However, some of our waterproofing products are sourced from overseas countries and the Mainland China and settled in currencies including Euro, US Dollars, Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi. Therefore, the Group is subject to risks associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations, particularly the Hong Kong dollars against Renminbi or Euro. The Group currently has no foreign currency hedging policy and the management will monitor the foreign exchange exposure by closely monitoring the movements of foreign currency rates. The Group will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is firmly committed to maintaining statutory and regulatory standards and adherence to the principles of corporate governance emphasising transparency, independence, accountability, responsibility and fairness.

The Company has applied the principles and complied with all the code provisions as set out in the Corporate Governance Code (the “ Code ”) contained in Appendix 15 of the GEM Listing Rules throughout the year ended 31 March 2021, save for the deviations discussed below.

Under the code provision A.2.1, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual. The division of responsibilities between the chairman and chief executive officer should be clearly established and set out in writing.

Mr. Lam is both the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company who is responsible for managing the Board and the Group’s business. Mr. Lam has been both chairman and chief executive officer of the Company since its incorporation. The Board considers that, with the present Board structure and scope of business of the Group, there is no imminent need to separate the roles into two individuals as Mr. Lam is perfectly capable of distinguishing the priority of these roles in which he has been acting. However, the Board will continue to review the effectiveness of the Group’s corporate governance structure to assess whether the separation of the positions of chairman and chief executive officer is necessary.

The Board does not recommend any payment of final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2021 (31 March 2020: 0.58 HK cents per share).
