The investment property is leased to a third party. The leases contain initial non-cancellable period of two years. Subsequent renewal are negotiated with the lessees.

The investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 57 years.

As at 31 December 2020, the fair values of the investment property amounted to S$1,020,000 (As at 30 June 2020: S$1,020,000). The fair value measurement of the Group's investment property as at 31 January 2019 was carried out by Ascent Partners Valuation Service Limited, an independent valuer not related to the Group, and who has the appropriate qualifications and relevant experience. Management has assessed that the key inputs and assumptions used by the valuer for valuation date 31 January 2019 remain applicable and reasonable as at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020.

The fair values were based on comparable market transactions of similar properties in the neighbourhood that have been transferred in the open market with the significant unobservable input being the price per square meter where any significant isolated increase (decrease) in this input would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The investment property is categorised within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In estimating the fair value of the property, the highest and best use of the property is its current use.

Details of the Group's investment properties and information about the fair value hierarchy as at the end of each period are as follows:

Before accepting any new customer, the Group has assessed the potential customer's credit quality and defined credit limit to each customer on individual basis. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed when necessary. The majority of the Group's trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have good credit quality with reference to respective settlement history.

The Group does not charge interest or hold any collateral over these balances.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide impairment loss measured as expected credit losses ("ECL") prescribed by IFRS 9.

To measure the ECL of trade receivables, trade receivables are assessed individually for all customers.

As part of the Group's credit risk management, the Group assesses the impairment for its customers by reference to past default experience and current past due exposure of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.

The estimated loss rates are estimated based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of the debtors and are adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. As at 31 December 2020, the Group recognised S$233,811 impairment allowance based on individual assessment for all customers.

There had been no changes in the estimation techniques or significant assumption made during the current reporting period.

Management has assessed that the receivables as at 31 December 2020 that are past due beyond 90 days are not in default as a significant portion of these relate to backcharges to a subcontractor, to which the Group is in a net payable position as at 31 December 2020.

Contract assets (retention receivables) and contract liabilities arising from the same contract are presented on a net basis above. In the analysis below, these contract assets (retention receivables) and contract liabilities are presented on a gross basis, with the effect of grossing up being S$Nil as at 31 December 2020 (30 June 2020: S$56,875).

Contract assets

Amounts represent the Group's rights to considerations from customers for the provision of electrical engineering services, which arise when: (i) the Group completed the relevant services under such contracts and pending formal certification by the customers; and (ii) the customers withhold certain amounts payable to the Group as retention money to secure the due performance of the contracts for a period of generally 12 months (defect liability period) after completion of the relevant works. Any amount previously recognised as a contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables at the point at which it becomes unconditional and is invoiced to the customer.

The Group's contract assets are analysed as follows:

39,689,237

Note: Others represent the revenue not yet billed to the customers, for which the Group has completed the relevant services under such contracts but yet to be certified by architects, surveyors or other representatives appointed by the customers.

Changes of contract assets were mainly due to changes in: (1) the amount of retention receivables (generally at a certain percentage of total contract sum) in accordance with the number of ongoing and completed contracts under the defect liability period; and (2) the size and number of contract works that the relevant services were completed but yet certified by architects, surveyors or other representatives appointed by the customers at the end of each reporting period.

The Group's contract assets include retention receivables 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. The balances are classified as current as they are expected to be received within the Group's normal operating cycle.

To measure ECL, contract assets are assessed individually for all customers. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation for the loss rates for contract assets. Based on the individual assessment for all customers by management of the Group, other than disclosed below, it is considered that the ECL for contract assets is insignificant as at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020.

Dual currency investments are a type of structured investment that combines time deposits with an embedded currency option. On trade date, the Group agrees the base currency (in which principal invested is denominated), an alternate currency, a strike rate and tenor with the financial institution. Upon expiry, should the base currency depreciate against the alternate currency, principal and interest will be received in based currency. Otherwise, principal and interest will be converted to alternate currency at strike rate and received.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

The Group is a mechanical and electrical engineering contractor in Singapore specialised in providing electrical engineering solutions and our scope of services comprises (i) customisation and/or installation of electrical systems; (ii) assisting to obtain statutory approvals; and (iii) testing and commissioning. The Group has been established for over 30 years and our services are essential for ensuring the functionality and connectedness of the electrical systems as well as their compliance with the prescribed designs and statutory requirements. Our electrical engineering services are widely required in new building developments, redevelopment, additions and alterations ("A&A") works and upgrading projects, which involve residential, commercial and industrial buildings. In particular, we have established solid track record in undertaking electrical engineering works in public residential developments initiated by the Housing Development Board ("HDB"), the public housing authority of the Singapore Government.

During the six months ended 31 December 2020, our Group's revenue decreased by 45.5% to approximately S$14.3 million as compared to approximately S$26.2 million for the six months ended 31 December 2019. Our Group's gross profit and net profit also decreased by 66.1% and 96.2% to approximately S$1.8 million and S$0.1 million respectively, as compared to approximately S$5.3 million and S$2.9 million for the six months ended 31 December 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the Circuit Breaker measures being imposed by the Singapore Government from 7 April 2020 to 1 June 2020 (both dates inclusive) (the "Circuit Breaker Period") to combat the local transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") in Singapore.

Majority of the Group's construction projects were halted during the Circuit Breaker Period and resulted in a significant slowdown in the progress of the Group's electrical engineering works. Even after the Circuit Breaker Period, substantial amount of time was spent to implement safe management measures at the project sites in accordance with the Singapore Government regulatory requirements. Consequently, only approximately 20% of our on-going projects had been allowed to restart and the rest of the projects only fully recommenced from August/September 2020, which significantly delayed the progress of the Group's on-going projects and led to significant decrease in revenue recognised during the six months ended 31 December 2020 when compared to six months ended 31 December 2019.

The gross profit margin of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2020 has also declined significantly as a result of additional costs incurred due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 such as cost overrun of on-going projects in anticipation of productivity loss and prolongation of project timeline. In addition, since March 2020, the Federal Government of Malaysia has implemented the Malaysia Movement Control Order (the "Cordon Sanitaire") as a preventive measure in response to the COVID-19. The Cordon Sanitaire involved prohibition of movement of people which adversely affected the Group's supply chain in construction materials between Malaysia and Singapore, causing a significant increase in material costs during the six months ended 31 December 2020.

In the upcoming year, we expect the construction industry to remain gloomy given the uncertainty of the development of the outbreak of COVID-19 globally. With the resurgence of COVID-19 cases globally and more stringent border control measures abroad and in Singapore, supply chain has been disrupted severely, resulting in rising material costs. The border control measures also resulted in further manpower shortages and hence resulting in an increase in manpower costs for the six months ended 31 December 2020. That said, the adverse impact of COVID-19 has been mitigated by the receipt of Singapore Government grants and the overall financial position of the Group remains sound. Based on the Building and Construction Authority (BCA)'s projection, construction demand in Singapore is expected to make a moderate recovery in 2021, with S$23 billion to S$28 billion worth of construction contracts to be awarded. About 65% of the contract, or between S$15 billion and S$18 billion will be relating to public sector projects and the Group is well positioned to take advantage of the expected upturn in the market.

As at 31 December 2020, we had 30 projects on hand (including contracts in progress) with a notional or estimated contract value of approximately S$142.2 million, of which approximately S$71.8 million had been recognised as revenue in prior years, approximately S$11.3 million had been recognised as revenue during the six months ended 31 December 2020 and the remaining balance will be recognised as our revenue in accordance with stage of completion. The remaining S$3.0 million recognised as revenue during the six months ended 31 December 2020 is mainly attributed to projects which have been completed during the period.

Cost of Services

The Group's cost of services decreased by approximately S$8.4 million or approximately 40.3% from approximately S$20.9 million for the six months ended 31 December 2019 to approximately S$12.5 million for the six months ended 31 December 2020. Such decrease in cost of services was generally in line with the decrease in revenue.

The gross profit of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately S$1.8 million, representing a decrease of approximately 66.1% as compared with approximately S$5.3 million for the six months ended 31 December 2019, which was driven by a decrease in revenue for the same period. The Group's gross profit margin for the six months ended 31 December 2020 was approximately 12.6%, which represent a decrease of 7.6% when compared with approximately 20.2% for the six months ended 31 December 2019.

The reduction was mainly due to additional costs incurred due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 such as cost overrun of on-going projects in anticipation of productivity loss and prolongation of project timeline. In addition, since March 2020, the Federal Government of Malaysia has implemented the Malaysia Movement Control Order as a preventive measure in response to the COVID-19. The Cordon Sanitaire involved prohibition of movement of people which adversely affected the Group's supply chain in construction materials between Malaysia and Singapore, causing a significant increase in material costs during the six months ended 31 December 2020.

The resurgence of COVID-19 cases globally and more stringent border control measures abroad and in Singapore also caused severe supply chain disruption, driving up the material costs. The border control measures also resulted in further manpower shortages and hence resulting in an increase in manpower costs for the six months ended 31 December 2020, hence reducing gross profit margin further.

Other Income

Other income mainly included income from (i) interest income from banks, (ii) government grants, (iii) rental income, (iv) insurance payout and (v) sundry income. During the six months ended 31 December 2020, other income amounted to approximately S$0.6 million (six months ended 31 December 2019: approximately S$0.1 million). The increase in other income was mainly due to the government support grants for COVID-19 recognised for the six months ended 31 December 2020.

Other Gains or Losses

Other gains or losses mainly included (i) net exchange gain or loss and (ii) allowance for bad and doubtful debts. During the six months ended 31 December 2020, other losses amounted to approximately S$0.9 million (six months ended 31 December 2019: gain of approximately S$0.2 million). The increase in other losses was mainly due to the weakening of HKD and USD currency against S$ in respect of the Group's bank balances during the six months ended 31 December 2020.

Administrative Expenses

The administrative expenses of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately S$1.2 million which represents a slight increase compared to the six months ended 31 December 2019 of S$1.1 million, mainly due to the increase in compliance charges.

The Group's income tax expense decreased to approximately S$0.2 million for the six months ended 31 December 2020 from approximately S$0.8 million for the six months ended 31 December 2019. Such decrease was mainly due to the decrease in assessable profit.

Excluding the listing expenses of approximately S$0.8 million for the six months ended 31 December 2019, the profits for the six months ended 31 December 2019 of the Group would have been approximately S$3.7 million and the decrease of profit would be approximately 97.0% year-on-year.
