The enhanced capital allowance in relation to acquisition of IT and automation equipment allowed under each YA amounted to S$0.4 million and S$0.8 million, respectively for the financial years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019. Remaining amounts of the tax savings represent corporate income tax rebates granted to the Singapore incorporated entities by the tax authority of Singapore.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

The Group is an established general cleaning service provider in the environmental services industry headquartered in Singapore with operations in both Singapore and Thailand. The Group provides general cleaning works for a variety of public and private venues including medical centres, shopping malls, commercial and industrial buildings, schools, hotels, private condominiums as well as public access areas in town councils in Singapore. In Thailand, the Group provides general cleaning works for private customers at private residences, offices and industrial buildings.

The Group has more than 25 years of experience in the environmental services industry, and with their L6-graded FM02 workhead for "Housekeeping, Cleansing, Desilting and Conservancy'" services currently held by Eng Leng, the Group is able to tender for public sector service contracts of an unlimited contract value. As at 28 March 2021, Eng Leng was one of 33 registered contractors holding an L6-graded FM02 workhead among 433 contractors registered with the FM02 workhead. The Group has a quality management system accredited by their ISO 9001:2015 certification for the provision of cleaning and housekeeping services, and the Group has been recognised by the NEA through a Clean Mark Silver award for delivering high cleaning standards.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group has 245 ongoing service contracts, excluding one-off contracts, with outstanding contract sums of approximately S$62.8 million.

In 2020, the Company continued its strategy to become an integrated service provider in the environmental services industry and provided consistent and quality cleaning services to customers. Following their business strategies, the Company further entrenched and increased its market presence in the environmental services industry with a view towards positioning themselves as a regional integrated service provider.

During 2020, COVID-19 significantly disrupted many business operations around the world and adversely impacted the overall global economy. In relation to the operations of the Group, the Singapore Government announced measures to reduce the risk of local transmission of COVID-19, including travel restrictions, safety distancing measures and closure of physical workplace premises. During the Circuit Breaker Period, entities which carried out Essential Services were permitted to continue operations from their premises and were required to submit details of their plans to operate with enhanced safe distancing measures in place ("Continued Operation Plans") to the Ministry of Trade and Industry to obtain the necessary permissions. The categories of Essential Services included, but were not limited to, water, waste and environment, which included, amongst others, environmental hygiene monitoring and public cleansing services. The Group submitted their Continued Operation Plans for both Eng Leng and Titan accordingly under the aforementioned category and specified the provision of cleaning operations as a cleaning services provider as an Essential Service. The Ministry of Trade and Industry approved

- 15 -

the Continued Operation Plans for both Eng Leng and Titan, which allowed the Group to continue their operations during the Circuit Breaker Period. Given that both Eng Leng and Titan had been permitted to operate throughout the Circuit Breaker Period, the Group has continued with their cleaning operations since the implementation of Phase 1. As such, since 7 April 2020, the Group has continued with their cleaning operations as listed in their Continued Operation Plans under both their private and public service contracts, with safe distancing measures in place.

With effect from 19 June 2020, the Control Order Regulations were amended to implement a revised set of measures in order to facilitate the transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2, whereby most businesses and social activities were allowed to resume so long as certain social distancing measures were kept in place. The Singapore government had further announced the transition from Phase 2 to Phase 3 to support a further resumption of activities from 28 December 2020, subject to the adherence to certain safe management measures.

In light of the foregoing, despite the contraction of Singapore's 2020 gross domestic product by 5.8% and the Control Order Regulations, the Group has been able to take advantage of the initiatives introduced by the Singapore Government to minimise the effects of COVID-19 on their businesses and financial position. As disclosed in the Prospectus, the outbreak of COVID-19 in Singapore was expected to have negative impacts on Singapore macro economy. As such, the Group experienced a decrease in overall revenue for the year ending 31 December 2020. The Group is also constantly evaluating their prospects in the environmental services industry to ensure sustainability and continuity in their business operations and will make use of their competitive strengths to strive for the continued success of the Group for the new year.

The shares of the Company were successfully listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 3 July 2020, marking an important milestone for the Group's competitive edge and capital strength. It also represents investors' recognition of the Group's consistent and quality cleaning services provided to its customers, which will be the drivers of the Group's future growth.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

In 2021, the Group will continue to move forward following its positive development trend in the year ended 31 December 2020. The management and staff will remain vigilant and nimble, look ahead and make necessary adjustments to remain a market leader in the environmental services industry in Singapore. The Group will strive to further entrench and increase its market presence in the industry.

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group's total revenue was approximately S$72.6 million, representing a decrease of approximately 4.9% from approximately S$76.3 million as compared with the year ended 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the reduced demand of cleaning services arising from the restrictions placed and reduced operations to control the outbreak of COVID-19 in Singapore during the Circuit Breaker Period.

Cost of Sales

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the cost of sales was approximately S$49.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 20.3% from approximately S$62.4 million as compared with the year ended 31 December 2019. Please refer to the section "Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin" for the explanation of the decrease.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit increased from approximately S$14.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately S$22.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The gross profit margin increased to 31.6% for the year ended 31 December 2020 as compared to 18.3% for the year ended 31 December 2019, which was primarily due to the receipts of certain one-off government grants from the Singapore government in 2020 to assist Singapore businesses in coping against the economic uncertainty due to COVID-19. For the twelve months ended 31 December 2020, the Group has recognised approximately S$9.8 million of one-off government grants in total.

Other Expenses

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses increased from approximately S$9.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately S$12.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, primarily due to the increase in employees benefit expenses incurred and professional expenses incurred after the Listing.

Finance Costs

Finance costs decreased from approximately S$0.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to S$0.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, primarily due to the Group's reduced utilisation of short-term financing during the second half of FY2020.

Income Tax Expense

The income tax expense and effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2020 was approximately S$0.3 million and 2.6% respectively, as compared with S$1.1 million and 30.0% during the year ended 31 December 2019. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the receipts of one-off government grants that were not subject to corporate income tax and lower non-deductible expenses during the Reporting Period.

Profit after tax for the year ended 31 December 2020

As a result of the factors mentioned in the above sections, the net profit of the Group was approximately S$10.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, an increase of approximately 279.5% as compared with S$2.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at 31 December 2020, the current assets of the Group amounted to approximately S$46.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately S$20.1 million and trade and other receivables, deposits and prepayments of approximately S$24.7 million. Current liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately S$12.9 million, including trade and other payables of approximately S$9.3 million and other current tax liabilities of approximately S$0.9 million. As at 31 December 2020, the current ratio (the current assets to current liabilities ratio) of the Group was 3.6, as compared with 1.3 as at 31 December 2019.

Gearing ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by total equity. Since the amount of cash and cash equivalents exceeded that of bank borrowings, the Group was at a net cash position as at 31 December 2020. Thus, the gearing ratio was not applicable (31 December 2019: 8.0%).

Capital Expenditures

Save as disclosed in this announcement, there were no other significant capital expenditure incurred during the year ended 31 December 2020.

Contingent Liabilities

The Group had no material contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2020.

Pledge of Assets

Assets pledged to secure the borrowings of the Group are disclosed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements of this announcement.
