Financial Review for FY2020
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

REVENUE AND COST OF WORKS

The Group’s  revenue and cost of works for  FY2020  decreased by approximately S$25.86 million  or  32.82% and S$20.73 million or 30.11% respectively, compared to FY2019.

The decrease in  the  Group’s  revenue was primarily attributable to a significant decrease in contribution from general building segment as a result of the adverse impact from the COVID-19 outbreak. Precast manufacturing and property development and investment segments were also  impacted to varying extent.

GENERAL BUILDING

Revenue from  construction  works relating  to  alteration  and addition works, maintenance works and home improvement program  works  decreased to approximately S$52.67 million (FY2019: S$77.39 million).  Construction activities in the three months to June 2020 fell as non-essential construction activities were suspended during the circuit breaker period, except where exempted by the relevant authorities. Correspondingly, cost of works for general building also decreased to approximately S$47.89 million (FY2019: S$67.87 million).

PRECAST MANUFACTURING

Revenue increased by S$0.25 million due to the supply  of piles  to a new customer from December 2019 onwards.

PROPERTIES DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT

Nil revenue because there was no sale of Malaysia terraced service industrial in FY2020 as opposed to sale of 2 units in FY2019 which contributed approximately S$1.39 million. Correspondingly, nil cost of works for properties development and investment segment was recorded in FY2020 (FY2019: S$0.96 million).

As a result of the above, gross profit decreased by approximately S$5.13 million or 51.58%.

OTHER INCOME

The Group’s other income for FY2020 increased by approximately S$0.95 million or 152.83% compared to FY2019, mainly due to the government grants from the Unity, Resilience, Solidarity and Fortitude Budgets (collectively known as “Singapore Budgets 2020”).

OTHER EXPENSES

The Group’s  other expenses for FY2020  increased by approximately  S$0.36 million or 68.42%, compared to FY2019.

This is mainly due to the recognition of fair value (“FV”) loss on investment properties of approximately S$0.65 million (FY2019: S$Nil) in relation to the Malaysia  land  and impairment  of property, plant  and equipment (“PPE”) of approximately S$0.09 million (FY2019: S$Nil), partially offset by the decreased in  currency  translation  loss  of  approximately S$0.36 million.  Currency translation loss arose from the Malaysia subsidiaries’ monetary liabilities denominated in Singapore Dollar  due to the weakening of Malaysia  Ringgit (“RM”) during FY2020.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

The Group’s administrative  expenses for  FY2020 increased by approximately S$0.54 million or 7.02%, compared to FY2019.

This is mainly due to  the  recognition  of impairment loss on financial assets and contract assets amounting  to  S$0.97 million  as required by Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”) 9 Financial Instruments, partially offset by the decrease in rental on operating leases of approximately S$0.45 million.

TAXATION

The Group recorded an income tax credit of approximately  S$0.02 million   (FY2019: income tax expense of approximately S$0.20 million).  In FY2020, deferred tax asset of approximately S$0.15 million has been recognised for unutilised tax losses available for offset against future profits and reversal of deferred tax liabilities of approximately S$0.16 million  arising  from  the  FV loss  on the Malaysia land, partially offset by the under provision of current taxation in respect of prior financial years of approximately S$0.29 million.

LOSS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR

As a result of the reduction in the non-essential construction activities together with the recognition of FV loss on the Malaysia land, impairment loss on financial assets, contract assets and PPE, the Group reported loss for the financial year of approximately S$4.01 million (FY2019: profit for the financial year of approximately S$0.78 million).

Balance Sheets

CURRENT ASSETS

The Group’s current  assets decreased by approximately S$0.97 million which is mainly  due to the decreased in contract assets, trade and other receivables of approximately S$2.08 million and S$0.96 million respectively, partially offset by the increase in inventories, grant receivables, cash and bank balances of approximately S$0.1 million, S$0.33 million and S$1.63 million respectively.

Movement in inventories, contract assets, trade and other receivables  were mainly due to on-going projects.

Increase in cash and bank balances were mainly due to additional borrowings obtained for working capital purposes and grant receivables increased due to the Singapore Budgets 2020.

NON-CURRENT ASSETS

The Group’s non-current assets increased by approximately S$0.65 million which is mainly  due to the increased in PPE and deferred tax asset of approximately S$1.25 million and S$0.15 million respectively, partially being offset by the decreased in investment properties of approximately S$0.75 million.

Investment properties  decreased mainly due to the FV loss for the Malaysia land.

A deferred tax asset of approximately S$0.15 million (FY2019: S$Nil) has been recognised for unutilised tax losses available for offset against future taxable profits.

PPE increased mainly due to adoption of SFRS(I) 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 on the recognition of right-of-use assets offset by the routine depreciation and disposal of PPE during FY2020.

CURRENT LIABILITIES

The Group’s current liabilities decreased by approximately S$3.22 million  mainly due to the decreased in trade and other payables and borrowings of approximately S$3.37 million  and S$0.6 million respectively,  partially  being  offset  by the increased in contract liabilities and deferred grant of approximately S$0.36 million and S$0.32 million respectively.

Movement in contract liabilities, trade and other payables were mainly  due to on-going projects.

Borrowings decreased mainly due to repayment and deferred grant increased due to the Singapore Budgets 2020.

NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES

The Group’s non-current liabilities increased by approximately S$6.78 million mainly due  to  increase  in  borrowings and lease liabilities of approximately S$4.92 million and S$2.01 million respectively, partially offset by the decrease in deferred tax liabilities of approximately S$0.16 million.

Increased in borrowings and lease liabilities are mainly due to additional borrowings obtained for working capital purposes  and  adoption  of  SFRS(I) 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 onwards respectively.

Movement in deferred tax liabilities is due to  the  changes in  FV arising  from  the Malaysia land.
