Headquartered in Singapore, the Group specialises in the design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of anti-ricochet ballistic protection systems for firearm shooting ranges and tactical training mock-ups used by military and law enforcement authorities in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Review of the Group's Performance
Revenue
Our revenue increased by approximately S$6.2 million or 176.3%, from S$3.5 million in the half year ended 30 June 2019 ("HY2019") to S$9.7 million in the half year ended 30 June 2020 ("HY2020"). The increase in revenue was mainly derived from a tactical training mockup project and a firearm shooting range project in Southeast Asia, and a firearm shooting range project in the Middle East.
Project and production costs
Our project and production costs increased by approximately S$3.2 million or 150.5%, from S$2.1 million in HY2019 to S$5.3 million in HY2020. The increase in project and production costs was in line with the increase in revenue.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by approximately S$3.0 million or 214.5%, from S$1.4 million in HY2019 to S$4.4 million in HY2020. Our gross profit margin increased from 40.3% in HY2019 to 45.9% in HY2020.
12
Other operating income
Our other operating income increased by approximately S$70,000 or 155.6%, from S$45,000 in HY2019 to S$115,000 in HY2020. The increase in other operating income was mainly due to the increase in foreign exchange gain and interest income.
Employee benefits expenses
Our employee benefits expenses decreased by approximately S$0.5 million or 34.5% from S$1.5 million in HY2019 to S$1.0 million in HY2020. The decrease in employee benefits expenses was mainly due to the Jobs Support Scheme received from government as announced under the Stabilisation and Support Package at Budget 2020.
Depreciation expense
Our depreciation expense decreased by approximately S$141,000 or 19.9%, from S$708,000 in HY2019 to S$567,000 in HY2020. The decrease in depreciation expense was mainly due to the increase of fully depreciated assets.
Other operating expenses
Our other operating expenses decreased by approximately S$0.4 million or 34.8%, from S$1.0 million in HY2019 to S$0.6 million in HY2020. The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to the decrease in foreign workers' dormitory rental, professional fees and the absence of amortisation of intangible assets in the current financial period as the intangible assets were fully amortised in 2019.
Finance costs
Our finance costs decreased by approximately S$20,000 or 10.2%, from S$196,000 in HY2019 to S$176,000 in HY2020. The decrease in finance costs was mainly due to the decrease in interest payment of hire purchase.
Net profit for the period
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net profit of approximately S$2.1 million in HY2020.
Review of the Group's Financial Position
Current assets
Our current assets increased by approximately S$2.8 million from S$11.0 million as at 31 December 2019 to S$13.8 million as at 30 June 2020. The increase in current assets was mainly due to the increase in contract assets of approximately S$3.5 million, trade and other receivables of approximately S$1.7 million and inventory of approximately S$0.5 million, which are mainly attributable to the commencement of a tactical training mock-up project and a firearm shooting range project in Southeast Asia, and a firearm shooting range project in the Middle East, partially offset by a decrease in cash on hand and at bank of approximately S$2.9 million.
Non-current assets
Our non-current assets decreased by approximately S$0.5 million from S$27.4 million as at 31 December 2019 to S$26.9 million as at 30 June 2020. The decrease in non-current assets was primarily due to the depreciation charge for the period.
13
Current liabilities
Our current liabilities decreased by approximately S$0.1 million from S$1.9 million as at 31 December 2019 to S$1.8 million as at 30 June 2020. The decrease in current liabilities was mainly due to the decrease in bank loans of approximately S$0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in trade and other payables of approximately S$0.2 million.
Non-current liabilities
Our non-current liabilities decreased by approximately S$0.1 million was primarily due to the repayment of bank loans and lease liabilities.
Review of the Group's Statement of Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately S$2.8 million in HY2020, which was a result of operating cash inflows before movements in working capital of approximately S$2.9 million, an increase in working capital of approximately S$5.5 million and interest payment of approximately S$0.2 million. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the increase in trade and other receivables of approximately S$1.7 million, contract assets of approximately S$3.5 million, which mainly attributable to the works carried out for a tactical training mock-up project and a firearm shooting range project in Southeast Asia, and a firearm shooting range project in the Middle East, and inventory of approximately S$0.5 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in trade and other payables of approximately S$0.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately S$49,000 in HY2020, which was primarily due to an increase in pledged fixed deposits of approximately S$17,000 and purchase of property, plant and equipment of approximately S$32,000.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately S$51,000 in HY2020, which was primarily due to purchase of treasury shares of approximately S$141,000 and repayment of bank loans and lease liabilities of approximately S$362,000. This was partially offset by the proceeds from the exercise of warrants of approximately S$452,000.
Consequent to the above, the Group's cash and cash equivalents has decreased from S$5.0 miillion as at 31 December 2019 to S$2.1 million as at 30 June 2020.

A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months.
The Group continues to pursue opportunities to design and engineer customised training solutions for existing and potential customers as law enforcement related customers respond to the threat of terrorism and extremism. The Group is also actively responding to enquiries and requests for tenders from authorities in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Notwithstanding the competitive market conditions, the Group remains optimistic of its ongoing discussions and is committed to secure more contracts in both Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
The Group is working to strengthen its partnerships with defence contractors, equipment suppliers and consultants to participate with them either in joint tenders, or collaboration for successful tenders. In addition, the Group is also working with the relevant authorities to expand its portfolio of maintenance service contracts and grow its recurrent revenue base.
Given that a major portion of the Group's business is project based, the revenue contribution from projects may vary from quarter to quarter, depending on the size and scope of the projects on hand and their completion schedules. Nonetheless, the Group will continue to focus on ensuring effective cost management of its projects and production costs to achieve a sustainable operating performance.
As the COVID-19 situation is still evolving, there is a degree of uncertainty over the length and severity of this pandemic. Temporary operational issues faced by the Group, includes restriction put in place on our migrant workers that reside in dormitories as they are subjected to government's ongoing safety measures. As such, we have temporarily redeployed our local and Malaysia workforce to carry out the ongoing works. As of this announcement, there have not been any cases of our workers being infected by COVID-19.
The Group does not expect a material impact on its current operations and performance given the nature of the business as an essential service. We are closely monitoring the evolving situation and will continue to provide updates to our stakeholders. - Dividend
