NOTES TO THE audited CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the financial year ended 31 March 2020
-
GENERAL
The Company was incorporated and registered as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands with limited liability on 18 May 2016 and its registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The Company was registered with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong as a non-Hong Kong company under Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the laws of Hong Kong) (the "Companies Ordinance") on 13 June 2016 and the principal place of business in Hong Kong registered is Unit 3709, 37/F., Tower 2, Lippo Centre, 89 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong. On 13 July 2020, the Company has changed the addresses of its principal place of business to Unit 1503, 15/F., Greenfield Tower, Concordia Plaza, No.1 Science Museum Road, Kowloon. The principal place of business in Singapore is at 18 Kaki Bukit Place, Eunos Techpark, Singapore 416196. The shares of the Company have been listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") with effect from 30 March 2017.
The Company is an investment holding company and the principal activities of its operating subsidiaries are providing integrated building services, with a focus on maintenance and/or installations of mechanical and electrical systems and including minor repairs and improvement works, and undertaking building and construction works in Singapore. The Group is also engaging in blockchain technology development and application business and industrial hemp business.
The audited consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars ("S$"), which is also the functional currency of the Company. - BASIS OF PREPARATION
The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). In addition, the audited consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and by the Companies Ordinance. - APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
On 1 April 2019, the Group has adopted all the new and revised IFRS and Interpretations of IFRS ("INT IFRS") that are effective and relevant to its operations. The adoption of these new/revised IFRSs and INT IFRSs does not result in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies and has no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior periods, except for:
IFRS 16 "Leases"
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases retrospectively from 1 April 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening audited consolidated statement of financial position on 1 April 2019.
- 6 -
On adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 April 2019. The incremental borrowing rates range used for determination of the present value of the remaining lease payments was 2.38%-2.96% per annum.
-
Practical expedients applied
In applying IFRS 16 Leases for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: - applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
- relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review - there were no onerous contracts as at 1 April 2019;
- accounting for operation leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 April 2019 as short-term leases;
- excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and
- using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Group relied on its assessment made by applying IAS 17 Leases and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Of which are: | 777,724 | |

Measurement of right-of-use assets
The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always been applied. Other right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the audited consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019. - Adjustments recognised in the audited consolidated statement of financial position on 1 April 2019

The Group's management assessed that there are no new standards, amendments to standards and framework that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amount presented for the year ended 31 March 2020 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the share options outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amount presented (2019: the computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume the exercise of the Company's outstanding share options since their exercise price is higher than the average market price of the Company's share for the year).

EXTRACT FROM INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The following is an extract of the independent auditor's report on the Group's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020. The report includes an emphasis of matter, without qualification.
"Opinion
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 IFRS issued by the IASB and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
EMPHASIS OF MATTER
We draw attention to Notes 37.1 and 37.2 to the consolidated financial statements, which describes the risks and uncertainties with respect to blockchain technology and the evolving nature of the digital asset markets. The currently immature nature of digital asset markets including evolving regulations, custody and trading mechanisms, the dependency on information technology integrity and security, as well as valuation and volume volatility all subject the blockchain technology development and application business of the Group to unique risks. These conditions in our view are of such importance that they are fundamental to users' understanding of the Group's blockchain technology development and application business and the consolidated financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter."
