("Khoon Engineering"), the only operating subsidiary of the Group, was controlled by Mr. JK Ang and Mr. KK Ang, who owned 87.3% and 12.7% of equity interest in Khoon Engineering respectively.
The Reorganisation comprised the following steps: - Incorporation of Lead Development and Top Stride Investment Limited ("Top Stride")
On 4 July 2018, Lead Development was incorporated in the BVI with liability limited by shares and is authorised to issue a maximum of 50,000 shares of a single class with no par value.

Incorporation of the Company
On 24 July 2018, the Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability with an initial authorised share capital of Hong Kong Dollar ("HK$") 100,000 divided into 10,000,000 Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each.
On 24 July 2018, one nil-paid subscriber share was allotted and issued to the initial subscriber, and was transferred to Lead Development on the same day, after which the Company became wholly-owned by Lead Development. - Acquisition of Khoon Engineering by Top Stride
On 31 August 2018, Mr. JK Ang and Mr. KK Ang, as vendors, and Top Stride, as purchaser, entered into a sale and purchase agreement, pursuant to which Top Stride acquired 1,309,090 shares and 190,910 shares of Khoon Engineering, representing all of its issued shares in aggregate, from Mr. JK Ang and Mr. KK Ang, at the consideration of S$10,606,810 and S$1,546,835 respectively. In settlement of the aforesaid consideration, Top Stride issued and allotted 13,091 ordinary shares and 1,909 ordinary shares, credited as fully paid, to Mr. JK Ang and Mr. KK Ang respectively.
Upon completion of the above acquisition on 31 August 2018, Khoon Engineering became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Top Stride. - Acquisition of Top Stride by the Company
On 12 March 2019, Mr. JK Ang and Mr. KK Ang, as vendors, and the Company, as purchaser, entered into a sale and purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired 26,182 shares and 3,818 shares of Top Stride, representing all of its issued shares in aggregate, from Mr. JK Ang and Mr. KK Ang respectively, at the consideration of S$11,273,877 and S$1,644,017 respectively. In settlement of the aforesaid consideration, the Company issued and allotted 29,999 shares, credited as fully paid, to Lead Development, and crediting as fully paid at par one nil-paid share held by Lead Development, at the instructions of Mr. JK Ang and Mr. KK Ang.
Following the aforesaid acquisition, Khoon Engineering became indirectly wholly owned by the Company.
As a result of the Reorganisation as completed on 12 March 2019, the Company became the holding company of the Group with its business being conducted through the operating subsidiary in Singapore, i.e. Khoon Engineering.
The Group resulting from the Reorganisation is regarded as a continuing entity.

3 ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
New and amended IFRS Standards that are effective for the current year
In the current year, the Group has applied IFRS 16 Leases (as issued by the IASB in January 2016) that is effective for annual periods that begin on or after 1 January 2019.
IFRS 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces significant changes to lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance lease and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets when such recognition exemptions are adopted. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the Group's consolidated financial statements is described below.
The date of initial application of IFRS 16 for the Group is 1 July 2019.
The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the cumulative catch-up approach, which:
- Requires the Group to recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated profits at the date of initial application; and
- Does not permit restatement of comparatives, which continue to be presented under IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease .
- Impact of the new definition of a lease
The Group has made use of the practical expedient available on transition to IFRS 16 not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will continue to be applied to those leases entered or changed before 1 July 2019.
The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. This is in contrast to the focus on 'risks and rewards' in IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
The Group applies the definition of a lease and related guidance set out in IFRS 16 to all lease contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 July 2019 (whether it is a lessor or a lessee in the lease contract). In preparation for the first-time application of IFRS 16, the Group has carried out an implementation project. The project has shown that the new definition in IFRS 16 will not significantly change the scope of contracts that meet the definition of a lease for the Group.
5
- Impact on Lessee Accounting
-
Former operating leases
IFRS 16 changes how the Group accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, which were off balance sheet.
Applying IFRS 16, for all leases (except as noted below), the Group: - Recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments, with the right-of-use asset adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments in accordance with IFRS 16:C8(b)(ii);
- Recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of profit or loss; and
- Separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (presented within financing activities) in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
-
Former operating leases
Lease incentives (e.g. rent-free period) are recognised as part of the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities whereas under IAS 17 they resulted in the recognition of a lease incentive, amortised as a reduction of rental expenses on a straight-line basis.
Under IFRS 16, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets
For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less), the Group has opted to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by IFRS 16. This expense is presented within 'administrative expenses' in profit or loss.
The Group has used the following practical expedients when applying the cumulative catch-up approach to leases previously classified as operating leases applying IAS 17.
- The Group has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
- The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application.
- The Group has excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
- The Group has used hindsight when determining the lease term when the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
6
- Impact on Lessor Accounting
IFRS 16 does not change substantially how a lessor accounts for leases. Under IFRS 16, a lessor continues to classify leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently.
However, IFRS 16 has changed and expanded the disclosures required, in particular regarding how a lessor manages the risks arising from its residual interest in leased assets.
- Financial impact of initial application of IFRS 16
The weighted average lessees incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position on 1 July 2019 is 2.29% per annum.
The following table shows the operating lease commitments disclosed applying IAS 17 at 30 June 2019, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application and the lease liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position at the date of initial application.

S$ | ||
Operating lease commitments at 30 June 2019 | 298,290 | |
Short-term leases | (64,312) | |

236,812 | ||
Analysed as: | ||
Current | 118,177 | |
Non-current | 118,635 | |
236,812 | ||
Right-of-use assets were measured initially at the present value of the future lease payments as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date. Consequently, upon transition to IFRS 16, the Group has recognised S$235,500 of right-of-use assets (Note 14) and S$236,812 of lease liabilities relating to previous operating lease commitment under IAS 17. The difference of S$1,312 is recognised in accumulated profits.
In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 July 2019. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange ("Listing Rules") and the applicable disclosures required by the Companies Ordinance ("CO"). - REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
Revenue represents the fair value of amounts received and receivable from provision of electrical engineering services being recognised over time, mainly comprising of (i) assisting to obtain statutory approvals; (ii) customisation and/or installation of electrical systems; and (iii) testing and commissioning by the Group to external customers. It also represents the revenue from contracts with customers.
Information is reported to the executive directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision makers ("CODMs") of the Group, for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. The accounting policies are the same as the Group's accounting policies. No other analysis of the Group's result nor assets and liabilities is regularly provided to the CODMs for review and the CODMs review the overall results and financial performance of the Group as a whole. Accordingly, only entity-wide disclosures on services, major customers and geographical information are presented in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments .
An analysis of the Group's revenue for the financial year is as follows:
2020 | 2019 | ||
S$ | S$ | ||
Contract revenue from provision of electrical engineering services, | |||
recognised over time | 37,898,045 | 48,647,372 | |
9
All the Group's services are rendered directly with the customers. Contracts with the Group's customers are agreed in fixed-price with terms from 2 months to 58 months (2019: 2 months to 67 months).
Included in the Group's revenue for the year ended 30 June 2020 is S$26,797,479 (2019: S$42,073,088) derived from provision of electrical engineering services to the customers in the public sector. The other remaining revenue is derived from provision of electrical engineering services to the customers in private sector.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The following table shows the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as at the end of the reporting period.
2020 | 2019 | ||
S$ | S$ | ||
Provision of electrical engineering services: | |||
- Within one year | 46,317,867 | 39,713,754 | |

DIVIDENDS
No dividend has been declared by the Company or group entities during the year. - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the following data:
2020 | 2019 | ||
Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company (S$) | 3,704,398 | 3,650,259 | |
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue | 997,267,760 | 750,000,000 | |
Basic and diluted earnings per share (S$ cents) | 0.37 | 0.49 | |
The calculation of basic earnings per share for the years ended 30 June 2020 and 2019 is based on the profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company and the weighted average number of shares in issue.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2019 had been determined on the assumption that the Reorganisation to enable the Company to become the holding company of the Group had been effective on 1 July 2018 and 750,000,000 shares in issue upon completion of the Reorganisation as detailed in Note 23.
Diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share because the Group has no dilutive securities that are convertible into shares during the years ended 30 June 2020 and 2019.

The investment property is leased to a third party. The leases contain initial non-cancellable period of three years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee.
The investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 57 years.
As at 30 June 2020, the fair value of the investment property amounted to S$1,020,000 (2019: 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 2019 and 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 property and information about the fair value hierarchy as at the end of each year are as follows:

The Group leases several assets including staff dormitories, office and office equipment. The lease term is two to five years (2019: two to three years).
The Group has no options to purchase any of its leased assets at the end of the lease term. The Group's obligations are secured by the lessors' title to the leased assets for such leases.
Certain leases for staff dormitories expired in the current financial year. The expired contracts were either replaced by new leases for similar underlying assets or extended through exercising options. This resulted in additions to right-of-use assets of S$178,416 in 2020.

The Group grants credit term to customers typically 30 to 35 days from invoice date for trade receivables to all customers, for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: 30 to 35 days). The following is an aged analysis of trade receivables, net of allowance for impairment losses, presented based on the invoice date which approximated the revenue recognition date at the end of each reporting year:

2,854,253 | 2,688,824 | ||
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 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 30 June 2020, the Group recognised S$233,811 impairment allowance based on individual assessment for all customers.
There has been no changes in the estimation techniques or significant assumption made during the current reporting period.

Included in the Group's trade receivables are carrying amount of approximately S$1,127,812 which are past due at 30 June 2020 (2019: S$362,767), for which the Group has not provided for impairment loss as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable based on repayment history of respective customers. Management has assessed that the receivables as at 30 June 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 to as at 30 June 2020.

The movement for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 and 2019, i.e., in lifetime ECL, has been recognised for trade receivables in accordance with the simplified approach set out in IFRS 9.
16 a. DEPOSITS
The amounts as at 30 June 2020 relate to cash deposits placed directly either with a customer or with a bank (for performance guarantee issued) as security for due performance and observance of the Group's obligations under contracts entered into between the Group and its customers, where the projects are due to be completed in January 2022 and December 2021 respectively.
The amount as at 30 June 2019 relates to cash deposit placed directly with a customer as security for due performance and observance of the Group's obligations under a contract entered into between the Group and a customer, where the project is due to be completed in 2021. This amount has been reclassified to current deposits (as disclosed in Note 16b) as at 30 June 2020.
The management considered the ECL for such deposits to be insignificant as at 30 June 2020 and 2019.

17 CONTRACT ASSETS/LIABILITIES
The following is the analysis of the contract assets and contract liabilities balances for financial reporting purpose:
2020 | 2019 | ||
S$ | S$ | ||
Contract assets | 39,632,362 | 32,768,152 | |
Contract liabilities | (300,528) | - | |
39,331,834 | 32,768,152 | ||
As at 1 July 2018, contract assets and contract liabilities amounted to S$11,440,486 and S$42,365 respectively.
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 the grossing up being S$56,875 as at 30 June 2020 (2019: S$Nil).
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: | |||
2020 | 2019 | ||
S$ | S$ | ||
Retention receivables | 4,712,601 | 4,318,580 | |
Less: Allowance for impairment losses | (205,000) | - | |
Others (Note) | 35,181,636 | 28,449,572 | |
39,689,237 | 32,768,152 | ||
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.
20
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 30 June 2020 and 2019.

There were no impairment losses recognised on any contract assets during the year ended 30 June 2019.
Contract liabilities
The contract liabilities represents the Group's obligation to transfer services to customers for which the Group has received consideration in advance (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customers according to the progressive billing arrangement stated in the contracts. Contract liabilities as at 30 June 2020 mainly relate to advances received from customers.

Dual currency investments in US$ | 2,773,621 | - | |
5,579,022 | - | ||
The Group uses short-term dual currency investments as a tool to earn higher interest on its bank balances as compared to short-term time deposits. 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 base currency. Otherwise, principal and interest will be converted to alternate currency at strike rate and received.
Dual currency investments are classified as FVTPL and any foreign currency component is included in fair value movement recognised in profit or loss. However, as the Group's dual currency investments are only for a tenor of one month and will mature shortly after year end, no mark-to-market gain/loss has been recognised during the year ended 30 June 2020. They carry fixed interest rate ranging of 2.38% to 2.70% per annum.

The Group does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to its lease liabilities. Lease liabilities are monitored within the Group's finance function.
The above represents leases for certain staff dormitories, office and office equipment of the Group. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 2.29% per annum.
The Group's lease does not contain variable lease payments and accordingly no expense relating to variable lease payments is included in the measurement of lease liabilities.
Certain leases of the Group contain extension periods, for which the related lease payments had not been included in lease liabilities as the Group is not reasonably certain to exercise these extension options. These extension options are exercisable by the Group and not by the lessor.

24 EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 has caused disruptions to many industries globally. Despite the challenges, governments and internal organisations have implemented a series of measures to contain the pandemic. The Singapore government has implemented several phases of circuit breaker and post-circuit breaker recovery measures in order to contain the pandemic, and the Group's existing core business was significantly impacted by these measures, especially due to the halting of almost all its electrical engineering projects since early April 2020.
The Group however does not expect to incur hefty penalties for contract delays in the form of liquidated damages as the Group is mostly involved in public sector projects, and most contracts have either been automatically extended by six months or include clauses for unforeseen events and circumstances. The Group has also received certain grants and assistance from the Singapore government to help offset some of its fixed costs during this time, primarily relating to its employee wages and foreign worker levies. The Group has insofar adhered to all the requirements set out by the Singapore government, particularly relating to its business operations and in dealing with its foreign workers affected by the dormitory isolations and stay-home notices. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 has included the financial effects as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak up to 30 June 2020.
As of the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, most of the Group's electrical engineering projects have resumed, albeit at a reduced capacity as compared to pre-pandemic times as some of its foreign workers are still in isolation and due to additional safe distancing measures that will be applied at project sites to prevent a resurgence of the pandemic.
The Group will closely monitor the development of the pandemic and assess its impact on its operations continuously. Given the unpredictability associated with the COVID-19 outbreak and any further contingency measures that may be put in place by the relevant governments and corporate entities, the actual financial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Group's 2021 consolidated financial statements could be significantly different from estimates depending on how the situation evolves. Notwithstanding this, the Group will have sufficient liquidity to enable the Company to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
The Group is a M&E engineering contractor in Singapore specialised in providing electrical engineering solutions and our scope of services comprises of (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 alternations ("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 year ended 30 June 2020, our Group's revenue decreased by 22.1% to approximately S$37.9 million as compared to approximately S$48.6 million for the year ended 30 June 2019. Our Group's gross profit also decreased by 28.2% to approximately S$6.9 million, as compared to approximately S$9.6 million for the year ended 30 June 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. Our net profit has remained constant at approximately S$3.7 million for the years ended 30 June 2020 and 2019.
Based on advance estimates released by the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Singapore economy contracted by 12.6% on a year-on-year basis in the second quarter of 2020, due to the Circuit Breaker measures that were implemented. Specifically, construction sector contracted by 54.7% on a year-on-year basis in the second quarter. The contraction is expected to ease in the second half of 2020 once the construction sites are reopened progressively. The outlook remains gloomy given the uncertainty of the development of the outbreak of COVID-19. However, given that the Singapore Government has introduced several stimulus packages, it is expected that the impact of such challenges will be mitigated and would not affect the business operations or financial conditions of the Group materially and adversely in the long run.
As at 30 June 2020, we had 35 projects on hand (including contracts in progress) with a notional or estimated contract value of approximately S$153.1 million, of which approximately S$53.0 million had been recognised as revenue in prior years, approximately S$36.0 million had been recognised as revenue during the year ended 30 June 2020 and the remaining balance will be recognised as our revenue in accordance with the stage of completion. The remaining S$1.9 million recognised as revenue during the year ended 30 June 2020 is mainly attributed to projects which have been completed during the year.

Total | 37.9 | 6.9 | 18.1 | 48.6 | 9.6 | 19.8 |
The gross profit of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately S$6.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately 28.2% as compared with approximately S$9.6 million for the year ended 30 June 2019, which was consistent with the decrease in revenue for the same period. The Group's gross profit margin for the year ended 30 June 2020 was approximately 18.1% as compared with approximately 19.8% for the year ended 30 June 2019. The reduction was mainly due to lower profit margins from new public residential projects that commenced during the year ended 30 June 2020, as well as projects' running costs that were incurred during the Circuit Breaker Period which slightly reduced margins of the projects.
Other Income
Other income mainly included income from (i) interest income from banks, (ii) government grants,
- rental income, and (iv) sundry income. During the year ended 30 June 2020, other income amounted to approximately S$0.9 million (2019: approximately S$0.2 million). The increase in other income was mainly due to more bank interest income and government support grants due to COVID-19 recognised for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Other Gains and Losses
Other gains and losses mainly included (i) net exchange gains and (ii) written off trade receivables. During the year ended 30 June 2020, other gains amounted to approximately S$0.4 million (2019: approximately S$0.3 million). The increase in other gains was mainly due to the strengthening of US$ and HK$ against S$ during the year ended 30 June 2020.
(Allowance for) Reversal of impairment losses
There was an allowance of impairment losses of approximately S$0.4 million during the year ended 30 June 2020 as compared to a reversal of impairment losses of approximately S$32,000 during the year ended 30 June 2019. The difference was mainly due to additional allowance being provided for impairment losses on trade receivables and retention receivables where the likelihood of recovery is remote.
Administrative Expenses
The administrative expenses of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately S$2.8 million, representing an increase of approximately 17.2% compared with approximately S$2.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2019, mainly due to the increase in compliance charges incurred after the Group's Listing.
Finance Costs
Finance costs for the year ended 30 June 2020 was approximately S$6,000 compared to S$Nil for the year ended 30 June 2019. The increase was due to the adoption of IFRS 16 to recognise interest expense on lease liabilities.
29
Income Tax Expense
The Group's income tax expense decreased to approximately S$0.8 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 from approximately S$1.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2019. Such decrease was mainly due to the decrease in assessable profit.
Net Profit
Profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020 remained constant at approximately S$3.7 million as with the year ended 30 June 2019. Excluding the listing expenses of approximately S$2.6 million and S$0.4 million for the years ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020 respectively, the profit for the years ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020 of the Group would have been approximately S$6.3 million and S$4.1 million respectively and the decrease of profit would have been approximately 34.1% year-on-year.
Final Dividend
The Board did not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: S$Nil).
Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Structure
The Shares were successfully listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 5 July 2019 and there has been no change in capital structure of the Group since then.

The Group finances its working capital, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements through a combination of its cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated from operations and net proceeds from the Share Offer.
The Group adopts a prudent cash and financial management policy. The Group's cash, mainly denominated in SGD, USD and HKD, are generally deposited with certain reputable financial institutions.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had bank balances and cash of approximately S$15.7 million and short-term investments of S$5.8 million, as compared with bank balances and cash of approximately S$6.0 million and short-term investments of S$Nil as at 30 June 2019.

The Board closely monitors the Group's liquidity position to ensure that the liquidity structure of the Group's assets, liabilities, and other commitments can meet its funding requirements all the time.
30
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group mainly operates in Singapore. Most of the operating transactions and revenue were settled in Singapore dollars and the Group's assets and liabilities are primarily denominated in Singapore dollars. However, the Group has certain bank balances denominated in US$ and Hong Kong Dollars amounting to approximately S$13.7 million which exposes the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group manages the risk by closely monitoring the movement of the foreign currency rate.
Gearing Ratio

Due to the adverse impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on worldwide economies and the three-phased approach embarked by the Singapore Government to resume usual daily activities after the implementation of Circuit Breaker measures, the Board will continue to closely monitor the situation and evaluate the impact on the timeline to utilise the unutilised Re-allocated Net Proceeds and will keep shareholders and potential investors of the Company informed if there is any material change.
