Chairman's Statement

The representative of Hong Kong

Mr. Lai Wai (Right)

Exchanges and Clearing Limited (Left)

Chairman

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the board of directors (the "Board") of Sang Hing Holdings (International) Limited (the "Company"), I am pleased to present to all shareholders the first annual report of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") for the year ended 31 March 2020 after the listing (the "Listing") on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") of the Company on 17 March 2020.

2020 is a banner year for the Group as the shares of the Company (the "Shares") were successfully listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 17 March 2020. The Company issued 250,000,000 Shares at an issue price of HK$0.5 per Share under the share offer and received net proceeds from the share offer (the "Net Proceeds") of approximately HK$79.8 million after deducting related underwriting commission and listing expenses. The Net Proceeds will provide the Group with funds necessary for acquiring additional plant and machinery, recruiting additional staff, satisfying the capital requirements of additional bidding projects, upgrading information technology system and other purposes.

In early 2020, dragged down by the outbreak and evolving as a global epidemic of the novel coronavirus disease (the "COVID-19 Outbreak"), the global economy declined, and Hong Kong economy was no exception, suffering from considerable negative impact. During the year, civil engineering works market in Hong Kong was mainly driven by the ongoing and planned major infrastructure projects. In addition, budget of expenditure on infrastructure of the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the "Hong Kong Government") has continued to increase as compared to that of last year. As a result, the COVID-19 Outbreak has little negative impact on the development of the industry. The principal business of the Group is located in Hong Kong and the Group is mainly engaged in the

Sang Hing Holdings (International) Limited

Annual Report 2020

Chairman's Statement

undertaking of civil engineering projects from departments of the Hong Kong Government and public organisation. During the year ended 31 March 2020, the Group had six ongoing projects. Moreover, the working progress has not been seriously delayed during the period of the COVID-19 Outbreak, therefore such negative economic impact has little effect on the results of the Group for the year. In December 2019, the Group was awarded by Civil Engineering and Development Department ("CEDD") a site formation works project for the development of nature park in Long Valley and Fanling ("Project W57"), with a contract sum of approximately HK$236,000,000. Project W57 involved the development of a 37-hectare nature park at Long Valley with other ecological mitigation and enhancement works. The project commenced on 19 December 2019 and is expected to last for three years. During the year ended 31 March 2020, there were six submitted tenders, the results of which have not been announced. In June 2020, the Group participated in a tender of site formation works in relation to the first phase development of the new development areas in Fanling North which is expected to commence in September 2020. The result of the tender has not been published yet.

The results of the Group during the year reached record high. For the year ended 31 March 2020, the revenue of the Group was approximately HK$515,600,000 (2019: approximately HK$434,700,000), representing an increase of approximately 18.6% over last year; and the profit of the Group for the year was approximately HK$48,000,000 (2019: approximately HK$41,000,000), representing an increase of approximately 17.0% over last year. The main reasons for the increases in revenue and profit for the year were that a number of works projects reached peak period and additional works of approximately HK$100 million was obtained from site formation works project in Lok Ma Chau Loop ("Project W56") during the year and the progress of ordinary works was accelerated during the year.

Looking forward, we expect expenditure on infrastructure of Hong Kong Government to continue to grow, which will benefit civil engineering works industry. The Group will capitalise its advantages after listing to improve its own competitiveness to sure more opportunities for wining bidding, and to actively participate in bidding for works of Hong Kong Government to expand project revenue. The Group remains civil engineering works business as its core and will participate in bidding for civil engineering works with larger scale. In the meantime, the Group will also explore various chances in construction industry to create greater value for shareholders.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders, customers and business partners for their full trust and support in 2020, as well as staff for their efforts and contributions. I hope we can join hands and create a better future together.

Sang Hing Holdings (International) Limited

Annual Report 2020

Management Discussion and Analysis

The gross profit margin for the year ended 31 March 2020 was 15.0% (2019: 15.2%). Slightly decrease in gross profit margin as compared with last year was due to increase in price of construction materials and supplies and subcontracting charges.

Other income and net gain for the year ended 31 March 2020 was amounting to approximately HK$4.4 million (2019: approximately HK$4.2 million), representing an increase of 6.4% as compared with last year, which was due to increase in compensation from insurance for an employee's injury case.

Administrative and operating expenses for the year ended 31 March 2020 were amounting to approximately HK$9.8 million (2019: approximately HK$8.4 million), representing an increase of 16.2% as compared with last year, which was mainly due to increase in depreciation and other related expenses as being a listed company.

At 31 March 2020, prepayments, deposits and other receivables mainly represented amounts paid for insurance prepayment, deposits for material purchases, deposits for rental and utilities and other receivables. Other receivables increased from approximately HK$16.9 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$51.3 million as at 31 March 2020, which was primarily due to Project W49, Project W52, Project W55 and Project W56, mainly for the payment on behalf of subcontractors for the labour costs for workers and administrative staff and the costs of the construction materials. Since the progress of the Project W55 and W56 were accelerated in the first quarter of 2020, its related contra charges paid on behalf of the subcontractors were increased in line with the accelerated progress.

Due to the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Hong Kong since January 2020, we have implemented the following measures advised by the Development Bureau of the government of Hong Kong in relation to resumption of construction works after the Chinese New Year holiday:

  • monitoring the stock of personal protection equipment (including but not limited to surgical masks and hand sanitizer) for staff and workers;
  • mandatory body temperature check before entering works sites and for those who have fever or respiratory symptoms shall be refrained from working and seek medical advice promptly;
  • requesting staff and workers to wear surgical masks both at office and works sites;
  • mandatory travel reporting and for those who return from the PRC shall be quarantined for 14 days;
  • maintaining environmental hygiene and cleanliness of works sites; and
  • placing health education materials on novel coronavirus at prominent areas of office and works sites.

Apart from the above measures, we also closely monitored the situation of our suppliers and subcontractors. Our employees and subcontractors have also resumed work after the Chinese New Year holidays. Directors confirm that, there has not been any material delay on the work progress or suspension of any of our ongoing projects and no material impact on the Company's operation and financial performance as a result of the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus as at the date of this annual report. In the event of potential delay caused to our ongoing projects, according to the communications with our customers, extension of time will be granted.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Directors also confirm that, since 31 March 2020 and up to the date of this annual report, there was no material adverse change in the trading and financial position of the Group and no event had occurred that would materially and adversely affect the financial information shown in this annual report.

OUTLOOK

Looking forwards, civil engineering works market in Hong Kong is mainly driven by the ongoing and planned major infrastructure projects. We expect that the Government budget of expenditure on infrastructure will increase in the forthcoming few years.

Among the 10 major infrastructure projects, we have secured the first site formation works project in Lok Ma Chau Loop, Project W56, where the Government has reserved HK$20 billion for the first phase development of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park and intends to develop a multi- functional area comprising commercial, community and conservation land users, according to the Hong Kong Government's development plan.

We expect expenditure on infrastructure of the Hong Kong Government to continue to grow, which will benefit civil engineering works industry. The Group will capitalise its competitive advantages after listing to secure more projects, and to actively participate in bidding for works of the Hong Kong Government to achieve increase revenue. Civil engineering works will continue to be the core business of the Group and we will continue submitting tenders for civil engineering works of larger scale. In the meantime, the Group will also explore various chances in construction industry to create greater value for shareholders.

Report of the Directors

A Proposed Grantee may exercise his option in whole or in part (but, if in part, only in respect of a board lot or any integral multiple thereof) by giving notice in writing to the Company stating that the option is thereby exercised and specifying the number of Shares to be subscribed. Each such notice must be accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the aggregate exercise price for the Shares in respect of which the notice is given. Within 30 days after receipt of the notice and the remittance, the Company will allot and issue the relevant Shares to the Proposed Grantee credited as fully paid and issue to the Proposed Grantee a share certificate in respect of the Shares so allotted.

Subject to any early vesting of options pursuant to Share Option Scheme, all options granted under the Share Option Scheme will be subject to a vesting period of up to ten years to be determined with respect to each Proposed Grantee by the Board at the time of grant of the relevant option and stated in the offer to a Proposed Grantee.

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Details of significant related party transactions entered by the Group in the normal course of business during the year ended 31 March 2020 are set out in note 33 to the consolidated financial statements.

Reference is made to the prospectus of the Company dated 28 February 2020 in relation to a tenancy agreement (the "Tenancy agreement") entered between a member of the Group as the tenant and Mr. Lai Wai, the executive Director and the controlling shareholder of the Company, as the landlord in respect of the office premises since April 2019.

Based on the terms of the Tenancy Agreement, the annual cap for the rental for each of the years ended 31 March 2020, 2021 and 2022 shall not exceed HK$180,000, respectively. The aggregate rental paid by the Group pursuant to the Tenancy Agreement for the year ended 31 March 2020 amounted to HK$180,000.

As Mr. Lai Wai is the controlling shareholder of the Company and a connected person of the Company, the Tenancy Agreement constitutes a continuing connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Since each of the applicable percentage ratios for the transaction under the Tenancy Agreement is less than 0.1%, such transaction constitutes de minimis transaction under Rule 14A.76(1)(a) of the Listing Rules and as such, was fully exempt from the reporting, annual review, announcement, circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Board diversity policy

The Board has adopted a board diversity policy on 29 January 2020 which sets out the approach by which the Board could achieve a higher level of diversity. In summary, such policy sets out that when considering the nomination and appointment of a director, with the assistance of the Nomination Committee, the Board would consider a number of factors, including but not limited to the age, gender, skills, length of service, professional experience and qualifications, cultural and educational background of the prospective candidate. The ultimate decision of the appointment will be based on merit and the contribution which the prospective candidate would bring to the Board. All Board appointments will be considered against objective criteria, having due regard to the benefits of diversity on the Board in order to best serve the shareholders and other stakeholders going forward. As gender diversity is one of the objectives of the board diversity policy, while as at the date of this report, the majority of the Board is comprised of male directors, to implement the board diversity policy, the Nomination Committee will review the composition of the Board and actively identify suitable female candidates in its annual review. The Company will endeavour to appoint female directors in the market should the Nomination Committee find suitable candidates after considering their backgrounds and experience.

The Board comprises of nine members, including three executive Directors, one non-executive Director and five independent non-executive Directors. The Directors obtained degrees in various majors including business administration, international business management, economics, science and mechanical engineering.

Furthermore, the Board has a wide range of age, ranging from 43 years old to 71 years old. Taking into account the existing needs of the Company, the combination of the Board would bring about the necessary balance of skills and experience appropriate for the requirements of the business development of the Company.

The Nomination Committee will monitor the implementation of the board diversity policy from time to time to ensure its continual effectiveness.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

The management identified and evaluated the significant risks relevant to the Group based on their experience in the business environment. They regularly met with frontline employees and continuously monitored business performance comparing to operational plan and financial forecasts. The risk management and internal control systems are in place to cope with potential risk in different areas including liquidity, fraud and financial reporting, operational and compliance risks.

The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the risk management and internal control systems and reviewing their effectiveness on an ongoing basis. Such risk management and internal control systems are designed for managing risks rather than eliminating the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Company does not have an internal audit function and is currently of the view that there is no immediate need to set up an internal audit function within the Group in light of the size, nature and complexity of the Group's business. Nevertheless, the Company engaged an independent consultancy firm (the "Adviser") to conduct review of the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems of the Group. The Adviser has reported findings and areas for improvement to the management and Audit Committee, which then reviewed and reported the same to the Board. The Board and Audit Committee are of the view that there are no material internal control defeats noted. The Board considered that the risk management and internal audit control system are effective and adequate.

Hong Kong

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SANG HING HOLDINGS (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Sang Hing Holdings (International) Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 49 to 117, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2020, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2020, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAs") issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the "Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (Continued)

Revenue recognition for provision of civil engineering work services

Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

How the key audit matter was addressed in our

The key audit matter

audit

We identified the revenue recognition for provision of civil engineering work services as a key audit matter due to its significance to the consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended 31 March 2020, the Group generated revenue of HK$515,560,000 from provision of civil engineering work services as disclosed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

As disclosed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group recognised revenue from provision of civil engineering work services over time using output method, i.e. based on surveys of civil engineering work completed by the Group to date as certified by architects, surveyors or other representatives appointed by the customers or estimated with reference to the progress payment application submitted by the Group to the customers in relation to the work completed by the Group.

Our procedures in relation to the revenue recognition for provision of civil engineering work services included:

  • obtaining an understanding on the management's key process in recognition of the contract revenue for provision of civil engineering work services;
  • checking the total contract value to the contracts and variation orders (if any) to the agreements or other correspondence, on a sample basis; and
  • evaluating the reasonableness of revenue from provision of civil engineering work services recognised to date by:
    • Checking to the certificates issued by the architects or surveyors appointed by the customers before and subsequent to year end date to evaluate the value of work already performed during the year and the subsequent progress of respective projects, on a sample basis; and
    • Discussing with the management of the Group to understand the status of respective engineering work service contracts, on a sample basis.

Impairment assessment of trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables

Refer to Notes 6, 18, 19 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

How the key audit matter was addressed in our

The key audit matter

audit

We identified the impairment assessment of trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables as a key audit matter due to the significance of these balances to the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and the use of judgment and estimates by management in assessing the recoverability of trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables.

A s d i s c l o s e d i n N o t e s 18, 19 a n d 20 t o t h e c o n s o l i d a t e d f i n a n c i a l s t a t e m e n t s , t r a d e r e c e i v a b l e s , c o n t r a c t a s s e t s a n d other receivables of the Group carried at approximately HK$40,241,000, HK$49,731,000 and HK$51,297,000, respectively as at 31 March 2020.

As set out in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, in determining the impairment losses on trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables, the management assessed individually and/or collectively based on the Group's historical default rates taking into consideration forward-looking information which involve estimation and significant judgment.

Our procedures in relation to impairment assessment of trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables included:

  • Understanding the management's process of assessing the recoverability of trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables;

A s s e s s i n g t h e r e a s o n a b l e n e s s o f

impairment recognised by examining the

information used by management to form

such judgments, such as checking the

accuracy of the ageing analysis of trade

receivables, contract assets and other

receivables to the payment certificates

or completion certificates issued by the

customers or the underlying financial

records, respectively, on a sample basis;

  • For individually assessed expected credit losses, assessing the estimated loss rates with reference to the individual customers' historical observed default rates and checking the settlement history and changes in the forward-looking information; and
  • Checking, on a sample basis, post year- end settlements on the trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables as at 31 March 2020 to bank receipts and challenging the information used to determine the ECL by considering cash collection performance against historical trends.

We found that the management judgement and estimates used to assess the recoverability of the trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables and determine the allowance for expected credit losses to be supportable by available evidence.

OTHER INFORMATION

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors' report thereon ("Other Information").

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the Other Information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Other Information and, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Independent Auditors' Report

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility toward or accept liability to any other persons for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Annual Report 2020

Independent Auditors' Report

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement director on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Wong Sze Wai, Basilia.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("HKFRSs")

New and Amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year

The Group has applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs and interpretations (collectively referred to as the "new and amendments to HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"), for the first time in the current year:

HKAS 19 (Amendments)

Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

HKAS 28 (Amendments)

Long-term interests in Associates and Joint

Ventures

HKFRSs (Amendments)

Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle

HKFRS 9 (Amendments)

Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

HKFRS 16

Leases

HK(IFRIC)-Int 23

Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Except as described below, the application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group's financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

HKFRS 16 Leases

The Group has applied HKFRS 16 Lease ("HKFRS 16") for the first time in the current year. HKFRS 16 superseded HKAS 17 Lease ("HKAS 17") and the related interpretations.

Definition of a lease

The Group has elected the practical expedient to apply HKFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease and not apply this standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease. Therefore, the Group has not reassessed contracts which already existed prior to the date of initial application.

For contracts entered into or modified on or after 1 April 2019, the Group applies the definition of a lease in accordance with the requirements set out in HKFRS 16 in assessing whether a contract contains a lease.

HKFRS 16 Leases (Continued)

As a lessee

The Group has applied HKFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognised at the date of initial application, 1 April 2019.

As at 1 April 2019, the Group recognised additional lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at amounts equal to the related lease liabilities adjusted by any prepaid or accrued lease payments by applying HKFRS 16.C8(b)(ii) transition. Any difference at the date of initial application is recognised in the opening retained earnings and comparative information in previous reporting period has not been restated.

When applying the modified retrospective approach under HKFRS 16 at transition, the Group applied the following practical expedients to leases previously classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, on lease-by-lease basis, to the extent relevant to the respective lease contracts:

  1. relied on the assessment of whether leases are onerous by applying HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as an alternative of impairment review;
  2. elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application;
  3. excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;
  4. applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with a similar remaining terms for similar class of underlying assets in similar economic environment. Specifically, discount rate for certain leases of office premises in Hong Kong was determined on a portfolio basis; and
  5. used hindsight based on facts and circumstances as at date of initial application in determining the lease term for the Group's leases with extension and termination options.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rule") and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 16 (since 1 April 2019) or HKAS 17 (before application of HKFRS 16), and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 Inventories or value in use in HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets .

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;
  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Group's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • the size of the Group's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
  • potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;
  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of consolidation (Continued)

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.

All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group which qualifies as business combination, except for those acquisitions which qualify as a common control combination and are therefore accounted for using the merger accounting.

Under the purchase method of accounting, subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange and, all acquisition-related costs are expensed. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non- controlling interest in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the combined statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policy adopted by the Group.

Merger accounting for common control combination

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements items of the combining entities or business in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or business first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining entities or business are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling party's perspective. No amount is recognised with respect to goodwill or any excess of acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over its cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the contribution of the controlling party's interest.

The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income include the results of each of the combining entities or business from the earliest date presented or since the date when combining entities or business first came under common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of common control combination.

The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the businesses had been combined at the beginning of the previous reporting period or when they first came under common control, whichever is earlier.

Interests in joint operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

  • its assets, including share of any assets held jointly;
  • its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
  • its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
  • its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
  • its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the HKFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to its location and working condition for its intended use. Expenses incurred after item of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repair and maintenance, is normally charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which it is incurred. In situation where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property, plant and equipment and where the cost of the item can be measured reliably, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of that asset or as a replacement.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual values. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

20%-25%

Plant and machinery

10%-20%

Motor vehicles

20%-25%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately.

Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets.

Impairment on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets (Continued)

In addition, the Group assesses whether there is indication that corporate assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash- generating units, when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Before the Group recognises an impairment loss for assets capitalised as contract costs under HKFRS 15, the Group assesses and recognises any impairment loss on other assets related to the relevant contracts in accordance with applicable standards. Then, impairment loss, if any, for assets capitalised as contract costs is recognised to the extent the carrying amounts exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for related goods or services less the costs which relate directly to providing those goods or services that have not been recognised as expenses. The assets capitalised as contract costs are then included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash- generating units. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash- generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in according with HKFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial assets

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"):

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets (Continued)

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets (Continued)

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at FVTPL, except that at the date of initial application of HKFRS 9/initial recognition of a financial asset, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income ("OCI") if that equity investment is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which HKFRS 3 Business Combinations applies.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or
  • on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-termprofit-taking; or
  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

In addition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that are required to be measured at the amortised cost or FVTOCI as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

Amortised cost and effective interest method

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired. For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit- impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "other income and net gain" line item.

Impairment of financial assets and contract assets under ECL model

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit loss ("ECL") on financial assets and contract assets which are subject to impairment under HKFRS 9 (including trade and other receivables, contract assets and cash and bank balances). The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

Impairment of financial assets and contract assets under ECL model (Continued)

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12m ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessment are done based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables and contract assets. The ECL on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL ("12m ECL"). The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition instead of on evidence of a financial asset being credit-impaired at the reporting date or an actual default occurring.

Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Forward-looking information considered includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Group's debtors operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevant think-tanks and other similar organisations, as well as consideration of various external sources of actual and forecast economic information that relate to the Group's core operations. In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument's external (if available) or internal credit rating;

Significant increase in credit risk (Continued)

  • significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial instrument, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor, or the length of time or the extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortised cost;
  • existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations;
  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
  • significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor;
  • an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Despite the aforegoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if i) the financial instrument has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations. The Group considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when it has an internal or external credit rating of 'investment grade' as per globally understood definition.

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

  • information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Group).

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

  1. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
  2. a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
  3. the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
  4. it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
  5. the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

Write-off policy

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over five years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group's recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

Measurement and recognition of ECL

The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward- looking information as described above. Estimated of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability- weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occuring as the weights.

For financial assets, the ECL is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate.

Where ECL is measured on a collective basis to cater for cases where evidence of significant increases in credit risk at the individual instrument level may not yet be available, the financial instruments are grouped on the following basis:

  • Nature of financial instruments (i.e. the Group's trade and other receivables and contract assets are assessed as a separate group).
  • Past-duestatus;
  • Nature, size and industry of debtors;
  • Nature of collaterals for finance lease receivables; and
  • External credit ratings where available.

The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial Liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost

Financial liabilities including trade and retention payables, other payable and accruals, lease liabilities and obligations under finance lease are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, canceled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Group uses a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

  • Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
  • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price
  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
  • Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ''control'' of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to customers.

Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial liabilities and equity instruments (Continued)

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

Control of the asset may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the asset is transferred over time if:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity's performance as the entity performs;
  • the Group's performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or
  • the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Revenue recognition

If control of the asset transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a good or service to a customer. The Group's major source of revenue is its revenue from construction contracts.

Construction contracts

A contract with a customer is classified by the Group as a construction contract when the contract relates to work on assets under the control of the customer and therefore the Group's construction activities create or enhance an asset under the customer's control.

When the outcome of a construction contract can be reasonably measured, revenue from the contract is recognised progressively over time using the output method, i.e. based on direct measurements of the value to the customer of goods or services transferred to date, provided that the value to the customer is established according to the progress certificate (by reference to the amount of completed works confirmed by customer) issued by employer's engineers.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue recognition (Continued) Construction contracts (Continued)

For contracts that contain variable consideration (i.e. variation order), the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled using either (a) the expected value method or (b) the most likely amount, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which the Group will be entitled.

The estimated amount of variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that such an inclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Contract asset or contract liabilities

A contract asset represents the Group's right to consideration in exchange for services that the Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. In contrast, a receivable represents the Groups' unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

Contract asset is recognised when (i) the Group completes the construction work under such services contracts but yet certified by employer's engineers, or (ii) the customers retain retention money to secure the due performance of the contracts. Any amount previously recognised as a contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables at the point at which it is invoiced to the customer. If the considerations (including advances received from customers) exceed the revenue recognised to date under the output method then the Group recognises a contract liability for the difference.

Contract costs

The Group recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract when those costs meet all of the following criteria:

  1. the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify;
  2. the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and
  3. the costs are expected to be recovered.

The asset recognised is subsequently amortised to profit or loss on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the cost relate. The asset is subject to impairment review.

Other income

The Group also has the following sources of major other income:

  • Income from supplying constructions materials and others is recognised when control of the materials has transferred to the customer, being at the point the materials are delivered to the customers.
  • Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
  • Management fee income is recognised at a point in time when management services have been provided and the Group has a present right to payment for the services.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are expense.

Leases (Upon application of HKFRS 16 in accordance with transition in Note 3) Definition of a lease

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under HKFRS 16 at inception or modification date. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.

As a lessee

Allocation of consideration to components of a contract

For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

As a lessee (Continued)

Allocation of consideration to components of a contract (Continued)

The Group also applies practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease component, and instead account for the lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

Short-term lease and lease of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases of properties, machinery and equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term lease and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets

Except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, the Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The cost of right-of-use assets includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
  • any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and
  • an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

Right-of-use assets in which the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying leased assets at the end of the lease term is depreciated from commencement date to the end of the useful life. Otherwise, right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Refundable rental deposits

Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted under HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("HKFRS 9") and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments include:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
  • amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees;
  • the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group; and
  • payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

Variable lease payments that reflect changes in market rental rates are initially measured using the market rental rates as at the commencement date. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities and right- of-use assets, and are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:

  • the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment;
  • the lease payments change due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review/expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate;

Lease modification

The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

  • the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and
  • the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand- alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

The Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset. When the modified contract contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the modified contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the nonlease components.

Leases (before application of HKFRS 16 on 1 April 2019)

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

As a lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefit is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Onerous contracts

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprises of cash on hand and in banks, and short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

For the purpose of the Group's statements of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, which are not restricted as to use.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or in equity if it relates to items that are recognised in the same or a different period directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income tax (Continued)

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • where the deferred tax liability arises from goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:

  • where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with joint operations, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Conversely, previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at of the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

For the purpose of measuring deferred tax for leasing transactions in which the Group recognises the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the Group first determines whether the tax deductions are attributable to the right-of-use assets or the liabilities.

Income tax (Continued)

For leasing transactions in which the tax deductions are attributable to the lease liabilities, the Group applies HKAS 12 Income Taxes requirements to the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately. Temporary differences relating to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognised at initial recognition and over the lease terms due to application of the initial recognition exemption.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another HKFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

Pension scheme

The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (the "MPF Scheme") under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees' basic salaries and are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group's employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Dividends

Dividends proposed by the directors of the Company are classified as a separate allocation of retained profits within the equity section of the statements of financial position, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. When these dividends have been approved by the shareholders and declared, they are recognised as a liability.

Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the consolidated financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group's various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

The major judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below:

Joint operations

The Group has numerous joint arrangements with third parties for construction work in Hong Kong and under which decisions about the relevant activities of such arrangements require the unanimous consent of all parties to the arrangements. For accounting purposes, the directors assessed whether such arrangements are joint operations or joint ventures under HKFRS 11. After considering the rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements with reference to the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties in the arrangements, and the relevant facts and circumstances, the directors of the Company concluded that all of the Group's joint arrangements for construction work should be classified as joint operations under HKFRS 11 as the relevant contractual agreements for these joint arrangements specify that the parties to the joint arrangements have rights to the assets and obligations to the liabilities relating to the joint arrangements.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (Continued)

Estimation uncertainty on construction contract

The Group reviews and revises the estimates of contract revenue, contract costs, variations in contract work and claims prepared for each construction contract as the contract progresses. Budgeted contract costs are prepared by the management on the basis of quotations from time to time provided by the major subcontractors, suppliers or vendors involved and the experience of the management. In order to keep the budget accurate and up-to-date, management conducts periodic reviews of the budgets of contracts by comparing the budgeted amounts to the actual amounts incurred.

Recognised amounts of contract revenue and related contract assets and receivables reflect management's best estimate of each contract's outcome and value of works completed, which are determined on the basis of a number of estimates. This includes the assessment of the profitability of on-going construction contracts. For more complex contracts in particular, costs to complete and contract profitability are subject to significant estimation uncertainty. The actual outcomes in terms of total cost or revenue may be higher or lower than estimated at the end of each reporting period, which would affect the revenue and profit or loss recognised in future years as an adjustment to the amounts recorded to date.

Impairment of trade and other receivables and contract assets

The management of the Group estimates the amount of impairment loss for ECL on trade and other receivables and contract assets based on the credit risk of trade and other receivables and contract assets. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows with the consideration of expected future credit loss of the trade and other receivables and contract assets. The assessment of the credit risk of the trade and other receivables and contract assets involves high degree of estimation and uncertainly. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected or more than expected a material impairment loss or a material reversal of impairment loss may arise, accordingly.

Estimate of useful live of property, plant and equipment

The management of the Group depreciates the property, plant and equipment with definite useful lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives reflect the directors' estimation of the periods that the future economic benefits can be derived from the usage of the Group's property, plant and equipment with definite useful lives. If the estimated useful lives did not reflect its actual useful lives, additional depreciation and amortisation maybe required.

Estimated impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are stated at costs less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. In determining whether an asset is impaired, the management of the Group has to exercise judgment and make estimation, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred or any indicators that may affect the asset value; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, in the case of value in use, the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in estimating the recoverable amounts including cash flow projections and an appropriate discount rate. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset (including right- of-use assets), the management of the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the assets belongs. Changing the assumptions and estimates, including the discount rates or the growth rate in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (Continued)

Determining the lease term

As explained in Note 4 to consolidated financial statements, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term. In determining the lease term at the commencement date for leases that include renewal options exercisable by the Group, the Group evaluates the likelihood of exercising the renewal options taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the option, including favourable terms, leasehold improvements undertaken and the importance of that underlying asset to the Group's operation. The lease term is reassessed when there is a significant event or significant change in circumstance that is within the Group's control. Any increase or decrease in the lease term would affect the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised in future years.

Income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in Hong Kong. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

(Continued)

  1. Financial risk management objectives and policies
    The Group's principal financial instruments comprise trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, pledged bank deposit, cash and cash equivalents, trade and retention payables, other payables and accruals, obligations under finance leases and lease liabilities. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group's operation.
    The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are market risk (including interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:
    Market risk
    The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
    Market risk exposures are measured by sensitivity analysis.
    There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risk or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.
    Interest rate risk management
    Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Certain lease liabilities bearing fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively and the exposure to the Group is considered immaterial.
    The exposure to interest rate risk for the Group's bank balances is considered immaterial.
    Foreign exchange risk management
    The Group has no transactional currency exposures. The Group's markets mainly located in Hong Kong and its operations are denominated primarily in Hong Kong dollars, which does not expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group does not have any formal hedging policy.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

(Continued)

  1. Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Credit risk
    Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument would fail to discharge its obligation under the terms of the financial instrument and cause a financial loss to the Group. The Group's exposure to credit risk mainly arises from granting credit to customers in the ordinary course of its operations. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk on recognised financial assets and contract assets is limited to the carrying amount at 31 March 2020 and 2019 as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.
    In respect of trade receivables and contract assets, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers and counterparties. These evaluations focus on the counterparty's financial position, past history of making payments and take into account information specific to the counterparty as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the counterparty operates. Monitoring procedures have been implemented to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables and contract assets balance at the end of each reporting period to ensure adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.
    The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses prescribed by HKFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for trade receivables and contract assets.
    The Group assessed the expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets individually. Based on historical experience of the Group, these trade receivables and contract assets are generally recoverable due to the long term/on-going relationship and good repayment record. The Group has assessed that the rate of expected credit loss for trade receivables and contract assets are minimal, thus, the additional loss allowance for provision for trade receivables and contract assets was insignificant as at 31 March 2020 and 2019.
    For other receivables, management makes periodic collective assessments as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of deposits and other receivables based on historical settlement records, past experience and also available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. The credit risks of these financial assets are considered not to increase significantly since initial recognition. They are subject to the ECLs model and the loss allowances limited to 12 months ECLs. An impairment loss of approximately HK$326,000 (2019: nil) was recognised for the year ended 31 March 2020.

(Continued)

  1. Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Liquidity risk
    Liquidity risk relates to the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group is exposed to liquidity risk in respect of settlement of trade payables and its financing obligations, and also in respect of its cash flow management. The Group's objective is to maintain an appropriate level of liquid assets and committed lines of funding to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non- derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

(Continued)

  1. Fair value of financial instruments
    The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their values.
  2. Capital risk management
    The Group's objectives when managing capital are to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
    The capital structure of the Group consists of debt (which includes obligations under finance leases and lease liabilities), cash and cash equivalents, pledged bank deposits and total equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
    Gearing ratio
    The directors of the Company review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the directors of the Company consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The ratio is calculated based on net debt and total equity.
    The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

  1. Operating segment information
    The Group's most senior executive management has been identified as the executive directors who review the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Group's most senior executive management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.
    The Group's most senior executive management assesses the performance based on a measure of profit after income tax and considers all businesses to be included in a single operating segment.
    The Group is principally engaged in the business of civil engineering works service and related services in Hong Kong. Information reported to the Group's most senior executive management for the purpose of resources allocation and performance assessment, focuses on the operating result of the Group as a whole as the Group's resources are integrated and no discrete operating segment financial information is available. Accordingly, no operating and geographical segment information is presented.
  2. Information about major customers
    Revenue from customers during the years ended 31 March 2020 and 2019 contributing individually over 10% of the Group's revenue is as follows:

8. REVENUE (Continued)

Performance obligations for contracts with customers

The Group provides construction services to customers. Such services are recognised as a performance obligation satisfied over time as the Group creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. Revenue is recognised for these construction services based on the value of completed construction work using output method.

In recognising the construction revenue, the Group adjusts the amount of payment received for the effect of the time value of money of the goods and services transferred to the customers. In certain circumstances, the adjustment will result the amount of payment received in excess of the revenue recognised to date. Such difference will be recorded as contract liabilities.

A contract asset, net of contract liability related to the same contract, is recognised over the period in which the construction services are performed representing the Group's right to consideration for the services performed because the rights are conditioned on the Group's future performance in achieving the value of construction work has been agreed with the customers. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. The Group typically transfer the contract assets to trade receivables when the Group issued invoice to the customers based on the value of work certified by the architects, surveyor or other representatives appointed by the customers.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation for contracts with customers

As at 31 March 2020, the aggregated amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under the Group's existing contracts is approximately HK$520,796,000 (2019: HK$615,574,000). This amount represents revenue expected to be recognised in the future from construction contracts entered into by the customers with the Group. The Group will recognise the expected revenue in future when or as the work is completed, which is expected to occur over the next 4 years from the end of the reporting period.

12. INCOME TAX

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2019: 16.5%) of the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the year.

On 21 March 2018, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passed The Inland Revenue (Amendment) (No. 7) Bill 2017 (the "Bill") which introduces the two-tiered profits tax rates regime. The Bill was signed into law on 28 March 2018 and was gazetted on the following day. Under the two- tiered profits tax rates regime, the first HK$2 million of profits of the qualifying group entity will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2 million will be taxed at 16.5%. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%.

Accordingly, the Hong Kong profits tax is calculated at 8.25% on the first HK$2 million of the estimated assessable profits and at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits above HK$2 million.

Unbilled receivables included in contract assets represents the Group's right to receive consideration for work completed and not yet billed because the rights are conditional upon the satisfaction by the customers on the construction work completed by the Group and the work is pending for the certification by the customers. The contract assets are transferred to the trade receivables when the rights become unconditional, which is typically at the time the Group obtains the certification of the completed construction work from the customers.
  2. Retention receivables included in contract assets represents the Group's right to consideration for work performed and not yet billed because the rights are conditional on the satisfaction of the service quality by the customers over the maintenance period as stipulated in the contracts. The contract assets are transferred to the trade receivables when the rights become unconditional, which is typically after the expiry date of the maintenance period.

      A Proposed Grantee may exercise his option in whole or in part (but, if in part, only in respect of a board lot or any integral multiple thereof) by giving notice in writing to the Company stating that the option is thereby exercised and specifying the number of Shares to be subscribed.

notes:

  1. The Group's attributable interest is equal to, greater or less than 50% in these body unincorporates. However, under the joint venture agreements, the joint operators have contractually agreed sharing of control over the relevant activities of these body unincorporates, hence all these body unincorporates are jointly controlled by the Group and the other joint operators. Furthermore, the relevant joint venture agreements specify that the Group and the other parties to the joint arrangements have rights to the assets and obligations to the liabilities relating to the joint arrangements in accordance with the attributable interest of the Group as disclosed above and the interest attributable to the other joint operators respectively, therefore these body unincorporates are classified as joint operations.
  2. All principal joint operations engaged in construction work are contracted to carry out infrastructure and public facilities related works in Hong Kong. These joint operations are strategic to the Group's principal activities in construction work.

37. LITIGATION

Therefore, the Group has not made provision to cover the potential liability under the above claims.

38. COMPARATIVE FIGURES

The Group has initially applied HKFRS 16 at 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, comparative information is not restated. Further details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the four-year financial summary:

  1. The shares of the Company were initially listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 17 March 2020. No financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016 have been published.
  2. The financial information for the years ended 31 March 2017, 2018 and 2019 were extracted from the prospectus of the Company dated 28 February 2020. Such summary was prepared as if the current structure of the Group had been in existence throughout these financial years and is presented on the basis as set out in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
  3. As a result of the adoption of HKFRS 16, Leases, with effect from 1 April 2019, the Group has changed its accounting policies in respect of the lessee accounting model. In accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard, the changes in accounting policies were adopted by way of opening balance adjustments to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019. After initial recognition of these assets and liabilities, the Group as a lessee is required to recognise interest expense accrued on the outstanding balance of the lease liability, and the depreciation of the right-of-use asset, instead of the previous policy of recognising rental expenses incurred under operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Prior to 1 April 2019, figures were stated in accordance with the policies applicable in those years.
