PRESENTATION

Before the Start of the AGM proceeding, the Chairman involved Mr Chia, being the Finance Director of the Company, to explain briefly the Group's financial performance in FY2020, and the impact of COVID-19 on the business as follows:

"As was mentioned in the last AGM, as well as in our Annual Reports for FY2019 and FY2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has a substantial impact on our business and the Group's financial performance.

The Circuit Breaker implemented in April 2020 required all construction work to be stopped. Although BCA allowed for gradual resumption of construction work from 2 June 2020, nothing much could be done because of the COVID-19 infections in the migrant workers' dormitories. We were only able to slowly start work in September 2020, resulting in zero revenue from our Singapore operations for 5 months. During these 5 months, we continued to incur overheads which could not be absorbed as there were no business activities.

The delays to the projects, caused by the pandemic, would lead to increase in project costs as contractors try to catch up with the construction works. We will work with our clients and subcontractors on an equitable sharing of the increased costs.

The latest problem to hit the construction industry is the shortage of migrant workers. With the worsening of the pandemic situation in countries like India and Bangladesh, the Singapore government has put a temporary ban on the recruitment of migrant workers from these countries. Unfortunately, these are also the traditional sources of our construction labour. As of now, we are looking at alternative sources of supply, and hopefully the government's pilot scheme in allowing certain migrant workers from India and Bangladesh back into Singapore would help alleviate the shortage. Nevertheless, this shortage of migrant workers would have a negative impact on our business in the current year.

The pandemic has caused the postponement of major projects, most notably the Changi Airport T5 development. While our order book has improved over the past few years, from $355m as at 31 December 2018 to $405m as at 31 December 2019 and to $543m as at 31 December 2020, we have to brace ourselves for a slow recovery of the market. The vaccination efforts undertaken by the Singapore government, as well as in other countries, should gradually provide positive stimulus to the market.

We undertook restructuring in 2019 and have managed to reduce our overheads. We will continue to further streamline operations and trim our overheads. We will also do whatever we can to pull through this difficult period."

At this juncture, the Chairman proceed to continue with the proceeding of the AGM.
