Overview

 

Our Group is based in Singapore and is principally engaged in (i) the sale of cleaning systems and other equipment; and (ii) the provision of centralized dishwashing and ancillary services. Our Group commenced business in the selling of cleaning systems in 2005, before starting our business in the design, development, manufacture and sale of cleaning systems in Singapore in 2006. We design, develop, manufacture and sell cleaning systems for various industrial end-use applications to our customers mainly in Singapore and Malaysia. We also have provided centralized dishwashing services since 2013 and general cleaning services since 2015 mainly for food and beverage establishments in Singapore.

 

For the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, our revenue amounted to approximately S$8.9 million, and S$7.2 million, respectively. Our net income amounted to approximately S$0.6 million and S$0.1 million for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

 

The following table shows our Statement of Operations data for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021, and 2022 in SGD and, for 2022, in USD. For further information regarding the results of our operations, see our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form.

Key Factors Affecting the Results of Our Group’s Operations

 

Our financial condition and results of operation have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, including those factors set out below:

 

Demand from our major customer groups

 

Our aggregate sales generated from our top five customers were approximately 86.0% and 68.3% of our revenue for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Accordingly, our sales would be significantly affected by the demands of our top five customer groups, and particularly our largest customer group, as well as certain inherent risks, among others, changes and development in the local political, regulatory and business conditions, that may affect their purchases from us, many of which are beyond our control. These uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions, and affect our ability to remain profitable and achieve business growth.

 

Non-recurring nature of our sale of cleaning systems and other equipment business

 

We design, manufacture and sell cleaning systems and other equipment on an order-by-order basis. Our customers are under no obligation to continue to award contracts to or place orders with us and there is no assurance that we will be able to secure new orders in the future. Moreover, our Group generally must go through a tendering or quotation process to secure new orders, and the number of orders and the amount of revenue that we are able to derive therefrom are affected by a series of factors including but not limited to changes in our clients’ businesses and changes in market and economic conditions. The result of such process is beyond our control and there is no assurance that our Group will secure new projects from future tender submissions or new orders. Accordingly, our results of operations, revenue and financial performance may be adversely affected if our Group is unable to obtain new orders from our customers of contract values, size and/or margins comparable to previous orders.

 

Fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials

 

Raw materials, such as steel and electronic components, are the largest component of our cost of revenues, representing approximately 50.2% and 38.3% of our total cost of revenues for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. As our contract price is fixed once our customer confirms an order for a cleaning system or other equipment, it is difficult for us to manage the pricing of our cleaning systems and other equipment to pass on any increase in costs to our customers. Any fluctuations in the cost of raw materials would affect our profitability.

 

The prices at which we purchase such raw materials are determined principally by market forces such as the relevant supply and demand of such raw materials, as well as our bargaining power with our suppliers. We monitor supply and cost trends of these raw materials and take appropriate action to obtain the materials we need for production. We expect fluctuations in the cost of key materials to continue to affect our margins.

 

All of the raw materials we procure, including stainless steel, aluminum and electronic components, are purchased from a number of suppliers to ensure adequate supply and efficient delivery to our production and processing facilities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion is based on our Group’s historical results of operations and may not be indicative of our Group’s future operating performance.

 

Revenue

 

During the six months periods ended 2021 and 2022, our customers were from various industries, including HDD manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, food and beverage and public transportation. As of the date of this Form, our customers continue to be from such various industries. Our cleaning systems and other equipment are mainly sold in Singapore and Malaysia, and we provided centralized dishwashing and ancillary services to customers in Singapore.

 

Our revenue was derived from (i) sale of cleaning systems and other equipment business; and (ii) provision of centralized dishwashing and ancillary services business. The following table sets out the revenue generated from each of our business sectors during the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022:

 

   Six months ended June 30, 
   2021   2022 
   SGD’000   %   SGD’000   % 
                 
Sale of cleaning systems and other equipment business                    
Sale of precision cleaning systems   4,293    48.2    230    3.2 
Sale of other cleaning systems and other equipment   1,370    15.4    2,879    40.0 
Repair and servicing of cleaning systems and sale of related parts   608    6.8    503    7.0 
Sub-total   6,271    70.4    3,612    50.2 
                     
Provision of centralized dishwashing and ancillary services business                    
Provision of centralized dishwashing and general cleaning services   2,559    28.7    3,491    48.5 
Leasing of dishwashing equipment   78    0.9    94    1.3 
Sub-total   2,637    29.6    3,585    49.8 
                     
Total   8,908    100.0    7,197    100.0 

 

Our total revenue decreased by approximately S$1.7 million or 19.2% to approximately S$7.2 million for the six months period ended June 30, 2022 from approximately S$8.9 million in June 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue generated from our sale of cleaning systems and other equipment business of approximately S$4.1 million, while partially offset by the increase in revenue generated from sale of other cleaning systems and other equipment and provision of centralized dishwashing and ancillary services business of approximately S$1.5 million and S$0.9 million, respectively. The decrease in revenue generated from our sale of precision cleaning systems for the six months period ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an approximately S$4.1 million decrease in revenue from a customer group in Malaysia caused by the disruption by COVID-19 of their expansion in production facilities that resulted in the postponement of delivery of their orders to 2023 and 2024. Nonetheless, our Group did not experience any material order cancellations by our customers during the six months period ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, or during the period from July 1, 2022 to the present date. The outstanding contract value as of August 15, 2022 is approximately S$ 36.8 million.

Staff costs mainly represented the salaries, employee benefits and retirement benefit costs to our employees and Directors’ remuneration. The staff costs of our Group increased by approximately S$0.3 million mainly due to the directors’ fees paid following the appointment of directors from January 1, 2022 and recruitment of operation manager and engineers.

 

Depreciation expense is charged on our property, plant and equipment which included (i) leasehold buildings; (ii) right-of-use assets; (iii) computer equipment; and (iv) furniture and fittings. The increase in depreciation is mainly due to amortization of newly acquired computer equipment, hardware and system.

 

Office supplies and upkeep expenses mainly represented office supplies, cleaning cost and the relevant utilities expenses such as electricity and water.

 

Travelling and entertainment mainly represented expenditure for business travel and cost incurred for social gathering and refreshment for our staff.

 

Legal and professional fees mainly represented auditor’s remuneration and other professional fees for training and development and staff recruitment services. The increase is mainly due to the increase in audit fee.

 

Property and related expenses mainly represented property tax and related expenses in Singapore.

 

Directors and officers liability insurance relates to liability insurance payable to the directors and officers of a company, or to the organization itself, as indemnification (reimbursement) for losses or advancement of defense costs in the event an insured suffers such a loss as a result of a legal action brought for alleged wrongful acts in their capacity as directors and officers.

 

Miscellaneous expenses were mainly comprised of insurance expenses, donation and other miscellaneous expenses.

 

Other income

 

Other income of our Group amounted to approximately S$0.3 million and S$0.4 million for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The other income was mainly derived from wholesale sales of STICO anti-slip shoes and Government grants. The following table sets forth the breakdown of our other income for these periods:

 

   Six months ended June 30,

Wholesale of STICO anti-slip shoes represented the income generated from wholesale of STICO anti-slip shoes mainly to food and beverage (F&B) establishments in Singapore. The wholesale sales of STICO anti-slip shoes increased by approximately 34.8% due to resumption of demand from F&B establishments.

 

During the six months periods ended June 30, 2022, we reversed the provision of credit losses of approximately S$21,000 which we had previously impaired as of December 31, 2021 pursuant to the recovery of accounts receivable.

 

9

 

 

Government grants mainly represented Jobs Support Scheme, Jobs Growth Incentive and capability development grants received from the Singapore Government.

 

Interest expense

 

Our interest expense arose from lease liabilities and secured bank loans. For the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, our interest expense increased by approximately S$0.03 million mainly due to increase in interest rate. For more details of our bank borrowings, please see the paragraph headed ‘‘Bank Indebtedness’’ in this section.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the BVI, our Company and its subsidiary, JE Cleantech International Limited, both are not subject to any income tax in the Cayman Islands and the BVI. Our Group’s operations are based in Singapore and we are subject to income tax on an entity basis on the estimated chargeable income arising in Singapore at the statutory rate of 17%.

 

10

 

 

Our income tax decreased to nil for the six months periods ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was generally in line with the decrease in our profit and utilization of capital allowances and tax incentives.

 

Our Group had no tax obligation arising from other jurisdictions during the year ended December 31, 2021 and six months periods ended June 30, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and six months periods ended June 30, 2022, our Group had no material dispute or unresolved tax issues with the relevant tax authorities.

 

Net Income for the Year

 

As a result of the foregoing, our net income amounted to approximately S$0.6 million and S$0.1 million for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity and working capital requirements primarily related to our operating expenses. Historically, we have met our working capital and other liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of cash generated from our operations and loans from banking facilities. Going forward, we expect to fund our working capital and other liquidity requirements from various sources, including but not limited to cash generated from our operations, loans from banking facilities, the net proceeds from our initial public offering and other equity and debt financings as and when appropriate.

 

Cash flows

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022:

 

   Six months ended June 30, 
   2021   2022 
   SGD’000    SGD’000 
         
Cash and cash equivalents as at beginning of the period   550    1,108 
           
Net cash generated from/(used in) operating activities   3,534    (5,197)
Net cash used in investing activities   (74)   (104)
Net cash (used in)/from financing activities   (1,277)   12,719 
Net foreign currency effect   (16)   (23)
           
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents   2,167    7,395 
           
Cash and cash equivalents as at end of the period   2,717    8,503 

 

Cash flows from operating activities

 

During the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, the cash inflows from our operating activities were primarily derived from the revenue generated from our sale of cleaning systems and other equipment and provision of centralized dishwashing and ancillary services, whereas the cash outflows for our operating activities mainly comprised the purchase of raw materials, sub-contracting fees, staff costs and administrative expenses.

 

11

 

 

Our net cash generated from operating activities primarily reflected our net income, as adjusted for non-operating items, such as depreciation, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, reversal of loss allowance, change in fair value of financial instruments and effects of changes in working capital such as increase or decrease in inventories, accounts receivable, accounts payables, accruals and other current liability.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net cash generated from operating activities was approximately S$3.5 million, which primarily reflected our profit before tax of approximately S$0.6 million, as positively adjusted by (i) the non-cash depreciation of property, plant and equipment of approximately S$0.3 million; (ii) the decrease in accounts receivable of approximately S$4.7 million; and (iii) the decrease in inventory of approximately S$0.1 million. The effect of these factors was partially mitigated by the decrease in accounts payables, accruals and other current liabilities of approximately S$2.1 million.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities was approximately S$5.2 million, which primarily reflected our profit before tax of approximately S$0.1 million, as adjusted by (i) the non-cash depreciation of property, plant and equipment of approximately S$0.3 million; (ii) the decrease in accounts receivable of approximately S$0.3 million; (iii) the increase in inventory of approximately S$5.2 million; and (iv) the effect of these factors was partially mitigated by the decrease in accounts payable, accrual and other current liabilities of approximately S$0.7 million.

 

Cash flows from investing activities

 

Our cash flows used in investing activities primarily consisted of (i) the proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment; and (ii) the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net cash used in investing activities was approximately S$0.1 million, primarily due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of approximately S$0.1 million for replacement of obsolete equipment.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash used in investing activities was approximately S$0.1 million, primarily attributable to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of approximately S$0.1 million for replacement of obsolete equipment.

 

Cash flows from financing activities

 

Our cash flows used in financing activities primarily consists of interest paid, proceeds from loans, repayment of loans, payment for interest portion of lease liabilities, payment for capital portion of lease liabilities, net proceeds from issuance of shares, placement of deposit with escrow agent as a result of our initial public offering and payment of deferred financing costs.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our Group recorded net cash used in financing activities of approximately S$1.3 million, which was entirely attributable to the repayment of loans.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our Group recorded net cash generated from financing activities of approximately S$12.7 million, which was mainly attributable to (i) drawdown of bank loans of approximately S$0.5 million; (ii) repayment of bank loans and lease liabilities of approximately S$ 0.3 million; (iii) net proceeds from the issuance of Ordinary Shares of approximately S$14.9 million and placement of deposit with escrow agent of approximately S$0.8 million and as a result of our initial public offering; and (iv) payment of deferred financing costs of approximately S$1.5 million.

 

Working Capital

 

We believe that our Group has sufficient working capital for our requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Form, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, taking into account the financial resources presently available to us, including cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows from our operations and the net proceeds from our initial public offering.

Accounts receivable

 

Our accounts receivable, net, decreased from approximately S$3.2 million as of December 31, 2021 to approximately S$2.4 million as of June 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly resulted from the receipt of payments from our largest customer group as of December 31, 2021.

 

We did not charge any interest on, or hold any collateral as security over these accounts receivable balances. We generally offer credit periods of 30 to 60 days to our customers in respect of the manufacture and sale of cleaning systems and other equipment, whereas our customers will be offered credit terms of seven days to 30 days in respect of the provision of centralized dishwashing services and general cleaning services.

 

The following table sets forth the ageing analysis of our accounts receivable, net, based on the invoiced date as of the dates mentioned below:

 

   As of
December 31,
2021
  

As of
June 30,
2022

 
   SGD’000   SGD’000 
         
Within 30 days   1,511    1,797 
Between 31 and 60 days   587    386 
Between 61 and 90 days   282    58 
More than 90 days   840    139 
           
Total accounts receivable, net   3,220    2,380 

 

Movements in the provision for impairment of accounts receivable are as follows:

 

   As of
December 31,
2019
   As of
June 30,
2022
 
   SGD’000   SGD’000 
         
Opening balance   82    34 
Reversal of loss allowance   (48)   (21)
           
Closing balance   34    13 

 

We have a policy for determining the allowance for impairment based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts receivable and on management’s judgement, including the change in credit quality, the past collection history of each customer and the current market condition.

 

The loss allowance for accounts receivable related to a general provision for accounts receivable applying the simplified approach to providing for expected credit loss(es) (the ‘‘ECL(s)’’). Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of default. An ECL rate is calculated based on historical loss rates of the industry in which our customers operate and ageing of the accounts receivable.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021 and six months periods ended June 30, 2022, other than the loss allowance provision discussed above, no impairment loss was provided for amounts that were past due.

 

The following table sets forth our average accounts receivable turnover days as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022:

 

   As of
December 31,
2021
   As of
June 30,
2022
 
           
Average accounts receivable turnover days(1)   138.5    70.0 

 

(1) Average accounts receivable turnover days is calculated as the average of the beginning and ending of accounts receivable balance for the respective year/period divided by revenue for the respective year/period and multiplied the number of days in the respective year/period.

 

13

 

 

Our average receivables turnover days improved significantly and amounted to approximately 70.0 days for the period ended June 30, 2022.

 

The accounts receivable were closely monitored and reviewed on a regular basis to identify any potential non-payment or delay in payment. Our Group conducted an individual review on each of the customers to determine the impairment, which is aligned with external credit rating agencies’ definition when it is available or based on other data such as available press information about the customer and past due status. Our Group has further implemented certain procedures to strengthen our credit control. For instance, we are actively monitoring the credit terms of our customers and follow up on collection regularly to ensure greater control over our accounts receivable.

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net of our Group mainly represents amounts due from investors and prepayment of expenses of listing our Ordinary Shares. The following table sets forth the breakdown of the prepaid expenses and other current assets, net as of the dates indicated:

 

   As of
December 31,
2021
   As of
June 30,
2022
 
   SGD’000   SGD’000

Deposits   68    879 
Prepayments   647    1,789 
           
Total   847    2,769 

 

Our total other receivables, deposits and prepayments increased from approximately S$0.8 million as of December 31, 2021 to approximately S$2.8 million as of June 30, 2022, primarily attributable to the increase in prepayments of approximately S$1.8 million as a result of an increase in upfront payments to raw materials suppliers, directors and officers liability insurance and increase in deposits due to placement of part of the proceeds of our initial public offering as escrowed funds.

 

Accounts and other payables

 

Accounts payable

 

The general credit terms from our major suppliers are 15 to 90 days. Our accounts payable decreased marginally from approximately S$1.9 million as of December 31, 2021 to approximately S$1.8 million as of June 30, 2022.

 

The following table sets forth the ageing analysis of our accounts payable based on the invoice date as of the dates mentioned below:

 

   As of

   As of
December 31,
2021
   As of
June 30,
2022
 
Average accounts payable turnover days(1)   64.0    61.1 

 

(1) Average accounts payable turnover days is calculated as the average of the beginning and ending of accounts payable balance for the respective year/period divided by cost of revenues for the respective year/period and multiplied the number of days in the respective year/period.

 

Our average payables turnover days remained relatively stable and amounted to approximately 61.1 days for the period ended June 30, 2022.

 

Our Group did not have any material default in payment of accounts payable during the year ended December 31, 2021and six months period ended June 30, 2022.

 

Accrued expenses

 

Accrued expenses mainly represented expenses related to our listing of our Ordinary Shares, salaries and bonus. As of December 31, 2021, our Group’s accrued expenses amounted to approximately S$0.4 million, which was mainly due to the accrued listing expenses of approximately S$0.2 million. Our Group’s accrued expenses decreased to approximately S$0.05 million as of June 30, 2022, primarily attributable to the repayment of accrued listing expenses.

 

Our Group did not have any material default in payment of other payables during the year ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

 

Contract liabilities

 

Our contract liabilities represent the sales deposits and instalments received during the year in respect of machineries still under production but not yet recognized as revenue under our revenue recognition policies. Our contract liabilities amounted to nil as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

 

Bank indebtedness

 

As of June 30, 2022, our bank indebtedness equaled an aggregate of S$10.1 million, of which S$9.9 million is denominated in Singapore dollars and bears interest at a variable rate ranging from 1.25% to 1.5% above the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (“SIBOR”) and S$0.2 million is denominated in US dollars and bears interest at 1.25% above the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”). S$5.9 million of our bank indebtedness constitutes current liability and S$4.2 million constitutes non-current liability.

 

Provisions

 

Our provisions during the year ended December 31, 2021 and six months period ended June 30, 2022 mainly represented the provision for warranty for machines sold, which usually covers a 12-month period from the date on which the machines are delivered. The provision is based on estimates made from historical warranty data associated with similar products and services. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, our Group recorded provision of approximately S$22,000 and S$22,000, respectively.

 

Tax payables

 

Our tax payables remained nil as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively. It was generally due to our settlement of tax payable for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

15

 

 

Deferred tax (assets)/liabilities

 

Our deferred tax (assets)/liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 mainly represented the Singapore tax implication on the temporary difference between the tax written down value and the net book value of the property, plant and equipment, which are owned by our Group. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, our deferred tax liabilities remained relatively stable.

 

Commitments

 

Operating lease commitments as a lessor

 

Our Group leases out the dishwashing machines pursuant to leases that are classified as non-cancellable operating leases.

 

The future minimum lease receivables under non-cancellable operating leases contracted for as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, but not recognized as receivables, are as follows:

 

   As of
December 31,
2021
   As of
June 30,

Total   40    40 

 

Capital commitments

 

As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, our Group did not have any capital commitments.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Historical capital expenditures

 

Our capital expenditures during the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 mainly related to replacement of obsolete equipment. For the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, our capital expenditures in relation to property, plant and equipment were approximately S$0.1 million and S$0.3 million, respectively. We principally funded our capital expenditures through cash flows from operations and borrowings during the period ended June 30, 2021 and 2022. Our primary uses of net proceeds from our initial public offering have been and will be used to fund operations, expansions and upgrades of our manufacturing facilities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

16

 

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and acknowledge such election is irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act. As a result of our election, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our consolidated financial statements include allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory valuation, useful lives and impairment for property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of financial instruments, warranty liabilities, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognized our revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC606). We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services (that is, an asset) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. An asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset. It also requires us to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. We elected the modified retrospective method which required a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings instead of retrospectively adjusting prior periods. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

To achieve that core principle, we apply the five steps defined under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

We account for a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration to collect is substantially probable.

 

In accordance with ASC 340-40, which requires the capitalization of all incremental costs from obtaining and fulfilling a contract with a customer if such costs are expected to be recovered with the period of more than one year, we capitalize certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of consulting fees, and expect such consulting fees as a result of obtaining customer contracts to be recoverable. For contracts with the realization period of less than one year, the guidance provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less.

 

Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:

 

(a) Goods and services sold

 

We recognize revenue for our goods and services sold when we have satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount of the transaction price allocated to the satisfied performance obligation, which is the amount of the consideration in the contract to which our Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services.

 

17

 

 

Revenue may be recognized at a point in time or over time following the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation. If a performance obligation is satisfied over time, revenue is recognized based on the percentage of completion reflecting the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.

 

(b) Rental of dishware washing machines

 

We recognize revenue for our rental of our dishware washing machines on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

In accordance with the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the year-over-year percentage changes in the all items consumer price index for 2020 and 2021 were -0.2% and 2.3%, respectively. Inflation in Singapore has not materially affected our profitability and operating results. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be unaffected by higher inflation rates in Singapore in the future.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to interest rate risk while we have short-term bank loans outstanding. Although interest rates for our short-term loans are typically fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. We manage credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the relevant economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. We identify credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. In measuring the credit risk of our sales to our customers, we mainly reflect the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and consider the current financial position of the customer and the current and likely future exposures to the customer.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

We are also exposed to liquidity risk, which is risk that we will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to financial institutions and related parties to obtain short-term funding to cover any liquidity shortage.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in S$. All of our assets are denominated in S$. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and S$. If the S$ depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our S$ revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a) Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

(b) Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions, if any, and balances due to, due from, long-term investment subsidiary, and registered paid in capital have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(c) Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory valuation, useful lives and impairment for property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of financial instruments, warranty liabilities, and contingencies. Actual results could vary from the estimates and assumptions that were used.

 

(d) Risks and uncertainties

 

The main operations of the Company are located in Singapore. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in Singapore, as well as by the general state of the economy in Singapore. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in Singapore. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, such experience may not be indicative of future results.

 

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations.

 

(e) Foreign currency translation and transaction and Convenience translation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in the Singaporean dollar (“$”), which is the reporting currency of the Company. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary JEC International are the USD and HKD, respectively. JCS-Echigo, Hygenia, and Evoluxe use the Singaporean dollar as their functional currencies.

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency are translated into the reporting currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions in currencies other than the reporting currency are measured and recorded in the reporting currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. The cumulative gain or loss from foreign currency transactions is reflected in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as other income (other expenses).

 

25

 

 

The value of foreign currencies including, the US Dollar and Hong Kong Dollar, may fluctuate against the Singaporean Dollar. Any significant variations of the aforementioned currencies relative to the Singaporean Dollar may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of reporting in SGD. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

 

   December 31, 2021   June 30, 2022 
SGD to HKD Year End   5.8300    5.6965 
SGD to HKD Average Rate   5.8348    5.7212 
SGD to USD Year End   0.7396    0.7193 
SGD to USD Average Rate   0.7450    0.7316 

 

Translations of the consolidated balance sheets, unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows from SGD into USD as of and for the six months period ended June 30, 2022 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of USD0.7156 = SGD1.

 

(f) Fair Value Measurement

 

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical asset or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
     
  Level 3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, financial instruments, bank loans, leases payable, accounts payables, accruals and other current liabilities, warranty liabilities and loan from controlling shareholder are financial assets and liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, accruals and other current liabilities, warranty liabilities, and loan from controlling shareholder are subject to fair value measurement; however, because of their being short term in nature management believes their carrying values approximate their fair value. Financial instruments are fair value financial assets that are marked to fair value and are accounted for under as Level 3 under the above hierarchy. The Company accounts for bank loans and lease payables at amortized cost and has elected NOT to account for them under the fair value hierarchy.

 

(g) Related parties

 

We adopted ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions

 

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, the Company’s demand deposit placed with financial institutions, which have original maturities of less than three months and unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.

 

26

 

 

(i) Restricted cash

 

Restricted cash are bank deposits that are pledge to the bank as security for outstanding loans and bank borrowings. The carrying amount for restricted cash was $0, and $0 as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

 

(j) Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable, net are stated at the original amount less an allowance for expected credit loss on such receivables. The allowance for expected credit loss is estimated based upon the Company’s assessment of various factors including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, current general economic conditions, future expectations and customer specific quantitative and qualitative factors that may affect the Company’s customers’ ability to pay. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence for the Company to reasonably estimate the amount of probable loss.

 

(k) Inventories

 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

 

(l) Property, plant and equipment, net

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its intended use. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Category   Estimated useful lives
     
Land use right   Over the lease term
Leasehold buildings   30 years
Plant and machinery   5 to 10 years
Equipment, furniture and fittings   1-5 years

 

Expenditure for repair and maintenance costs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expenses as incurred, whereas the expenditure for major renewals and betterment that substantially extends the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income.

 

(m) Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

 

27

 

 

(n) Contract liabilities

 

A contract liability is recognized when the customer pays non-refundable consideration before the Company recognizes the related revenue. A contract liability would also be recognized if the Company has an unconditional right to receive nonrefundable considerations before the Company recognizes the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognized.

 

(o) Commitments and contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to commitments and contingencies, including operating lease commitments, legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss will occur, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company may consider many factors in making these assessments on liability for contingencies, including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

 

(p) Revenue recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This topic clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. Simultaneously, this topic supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of the guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Group currently generates its revenue from the following main sources:

 

Revenue from good sold and services provided

 

Revenue from sales of goods and services in the ordinary course of business is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation (‘‘PO’’) by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount of the transaction price allocated to the satisfied PO.

 

The transaction price is allocated to each PO in the contract on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices of the promised goods or services. The individual standalone selling price of a good or service that has not previously been sold on a stand-alone basis, or has a highly variable selling price, is determined based on the residual portion of the transaction price after allocating the transaction price to goods and/or services with observable stand-alone selling price. A discount or variable consideration is allocated to one or more, but not all, of the performance obligations if it relates specifically to those performance obligations.

 

Transaction price is the amount of consideration in the contract to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price may be fixed or variable and is adjusted for time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. Consideration payable to a customer is deducted from the transaction price if the Group does not receive a separate identifiable benefit from the customer. When consideration is variable, if applicable, the estimated amount is included in the transaction price to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

Revenue may be recognized at a point in time or over time following the timing of satisfaction of the PO. If a PO is satisfied over time, revenue is recognized based on the percentage of completion reflecting the progress towards complete satisfaction of that PO. Typically, POs for products where the process is described as below, the PO is satisfied at point in time. POs for services are more typically satisfied over time such as in the contracts for sterilization and sanitation service where the Company delivers service daily over the course of a month, and the Group will recognize revenue and charge the client on a monthly basis.

 

For the sales of sterilization and cleaning systems, related cleaning equipment, equipment parts and components, the Group typically receives purchase orders from its customers which will set forth the terms and conditions including the transaction price, products to be delivered, terms of delivery, and terms of payment. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Group must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is the delivery of the finished product to the customer at their location at which point title to that asset passes to the customer. The completion of this earning process is evidenced by a written customer acceptance indicating receipt of the product. The Group includes a warranty on its product for one year from the point of delivery and acceptance. The warranty is antecedent to the performance obligation set forth above; however, management develops an estimate of future warranty costs and accrues that amount to cost of sales in the period that revenue is recognized to the Group’s unaudited consolidated statements of income and the corresponding amount to the warrant liabilities on the Group’s consolidated balance sheets. Details on the changes in the warranty liabilities can be found in Note 11 below. Typical payment terms set forth in the purchase order ranges from 30 to 90 days from the date of delivery.

 

28

 

 

Revenue from rental of dishware washing machines

 

In accordance with ASC 842 Lease Topics. The Group accounts for the rental of dishware washing machines as direct finance leases where, lease income from the prospective of lessor is recognized to the Group’s statement of income straight-line basis over the term of the lease once management has determined that the lease payments are reasonably expected to be collected. The performance obligation under these leasing arrangements is to deliver the unit to the customer at their location and ensure that the equipment is ready for use, and to ensure that the equipment is available for use over the life of the lease contract.

 

(q) Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue mainly consists of raw material costs, labor costs, sub-contracting costs and production overhead.

 

(r) Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling expenses mainly consists of promotion and marketing expenses and transportation expenses. The Company does not carry any capitalized contract acquisition costs that would be amortized to its results of operations over time, and potential expenses related to customer and contract acquisitions costs if any are accounted for as periodic costs.

 

(s) General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses mainly consist of staff cost, depreciation, office supplies and upkeep expenses, travelling and entertainment, legal and professional fees, property and related expenses, other miscellaneous administrative expenses.

 

(t) Operating leases

 

Prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019:

 

Leases, mainly leases of factory buildings, offices and employee dormitories, where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company had no finance leases for any of the periods stated herein.

 

Upon and hereafter the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019:

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liability, and operating lease liability, non-current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option, if any. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected to adopt the following lease policies in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02: (i) for leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company elected not to apply ASC 842 recognition requirements; and (ii) the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients for existing arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2019 to not reassess (a) whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, (b) the lease classification applied to existing leases, and (c) initial direct costs.

 

29

 

 

(u) Income taxes

 

The Group accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

 

The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures.

 

The Company did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its unaudited consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2021 and six months period ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

 

(v) Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares.

 

(w) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

 

The Financial instrument is key management insurance policy. The fair value of the key management insurance policy is determined by reference to the surrender cash value of the insurance policy at the end of each of the reporting period, which is primarily based on the performance of the underlying investment portfolio together with the guaranteed minimum returns of 1.5% per annum. The fair value measurement of the key management insurance contract has been categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used and is positively correlated to the surrender cash value that is valued by the policy underwriter at the end of each reporting period.

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operation results by the revenue of different services. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has two operating segments as defined by ASC 280 as follow:

 

1. Sale of cleaning systems and other equipment business (‘‘Cleaning systems’’): Manufacturing, selling and servicing of cleaning systems, component and parts.

 

2. Provision of centralized dishware washing and ancillary services (‘‘Dishware washing services’’): Provision of centralized dishware washing services and leasing of dishware washing equipment.

The Company evaluates its collection experience and long outstanding balances to determine the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the potential financial loss to the Company resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Company, as and when they fall due. As the Company does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables (exclude prepayments), financial instrument and cash and bank deposits presented on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no other financial assets which carry significant exposure to credit risk.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

 

Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

 

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Contingencies

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings regarding contractual and employment relationships and a variety of other matters. The Company records contingent liabilities resulting from such claims, when a loss is assessed to be probable, and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. In the opinion of management, there were no pending or threatened claims and litigation as of June 30,2022 and through the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

 

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
