CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 Directors’ Report The Directors present their Annual Report on the affairs of the Golden Saint Technologies Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”), together with the financial statements and auditor’s report, for the year ending 31 March 2019. Principal Activities GST provides optimal wireless, electronic cabling, security, and other solutions to clients operating in the infrastructure development space. GST builds on the profitable ICT business of its Singaporean subsidiary EMS Wiring Systems, which has been supplying governments and large private organisations with intelligent building solutions for the last 28 years. GST's strategy is to develop solutions to meet the needs of the ICT industry, acting on the surging opportunities in the technology and innovation sectors - data Centres, intelligent buildings, smart cities and the Internet of Things - particularly targeting emerging markets where the demand for ICT infrastructure is increasing rapidly. Business Review A review of the business during the period and to date, including comments on future developments, is contained in the Strategic Report. Dividends The Board believes that the interests of all stakeholders are best served by retaining capital within the Company and maintaining greater flexibility to be able to take advantage of, looking forward, the many attractive investment and business development opportunities open to GST at this time and over the next few years. GST is looking to generate long term value for customers and shareholders in a sustainable manner. As a result, GST’s dividend policy for this financial year is not to pay dividends to shareholders but rather meet their interests by creating value that leads to capital growth. Subsequent Events There were no subsequent events for the year ended 31 March 2019 other than as reported in Note 24. Financial Instruments The Group’s financial instruments primarily comprise cash, cash equivalents, and other instruments such as trade receivables and payables, which arise directly from its operations. Note 27 to the accounts gives details of the Group’s risks and policies regarding financial instruments. Directors’ statement as to disclosure of information to the auditor The Directors at the date of approval of this report confirm that: ‐ to the best of their knowledge and belief, there is no relevant audit information of which the Group’s auditor is unaware and 1 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 1. General Information 1.1 Corporate information The consolidated financial statements of Golden Saint Technologies Ltd (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) for the financial year ended 31 March 2019 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 31 July 2019. The shares of the Company are publicly traded on London Stock Exchange. The registered office of Golden Saint Technologies Ltd, the ultimate parent of the Group, is Intertrust Corporate Services (BVI) Limited, Ritter House, Wickhams Cay II, Tortola , BVI VG1110. The principal activity of the Group is data infrastructure, storage and technology services following the acquisition by reverse takeover of EMS. 2. Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU) as they apply to the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2019. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention basis, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. Following the reverse takeover, and in accordance with IFRS, the acquired entity is taken to have acquired the parent entity and accordingly comparative information represents that of the acquired entity. 2.1 Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at 31 March 2019, and for the period then ended. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Golden Saint Technologies Ltd. (parent company), using consistent accounting. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. Total comprehensive income within a subsidiary is attributed to the non-controlling interest even if it results in a deficit balance. A change ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Pooling of Interests on Incorporation of Parent Entity On incorporation of the entity, subsidiaries have been consolidated using the pooling of interests method on the basis that the entities being combined are ultimately controlled by the same parties, both before and after the combination. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 10 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 2. Basis of Preparation (continued) Under this method the assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at book value and intangible assets and contingent liabilities are only recognised if they were previously recognised by the acquiree. No goodwill is recorded, and expenses of the combination are written off immediately in profit or loss. The excess of consideration over the value of the acquiree’s net assets is recognised in the merger reserve, a negative reserve within equity. Any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is recognised as the proportion of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. From the date of acquisition forward, a proportionate share of profits, or losses, in the related subsidiary is then attributed to the noncontrolling interest. Subsequent Business Combinations Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exceptions). When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is re-measured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. Acquisition of Golden Saint Technologies Ltd On 31 May 2018 Golden Saint Technologies Ltd completed the legal acquisition of EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd. Under the International Accounting Standards EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd. was deemed to be the accounting acquirer because the substance of the transaction was such that upon completion of the acquisition the former shareholders of EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd.as a group had the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity. IFRS 3 Business Combinations sets out the accounting principles to be followed in a reserve acquisition. However, the directors concluded that the Company does not meet the definition of a “business” as prescribed in IFRS 3 and, as such, it was deemed that the acquisition cannot be accounted for as a “business combination”. Therefore, the acquisition has been accounted for as a share based payment by which EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd. acquired the net assets and listing status of Golden Saint Technologies Ltd. Accordingly, the 2019 consolidated financial statement of Golden Saint Technologies Ltd are prepared as a continuation of the business and operations of EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd. As the deemed acquirer EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd. has accounted for the acquisition of Golden Saint Technologies Ltd from 31 May 2018. The implications of the acquisition by EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd. on the financial statements are as follows: The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 11 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes would differ from these estimates if different assumptions were used and different conditions existed. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 12 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) In particular, the Group has identified the following areas where significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are required, and where actual results were to differ, may materially affect the financial position or financial results reported in future periods. Further information on these and how they impact the various accounting policies is located in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements. Going concern This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. At 31 March 2019, the Group held cash reserves of $871,000 (2018: $788,000). The Directors are confident that the Group will generate revenue from data and technology services which will contribute to cash flow in the next 6-month period. On this basis, the Directors believe that there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements. The Group recorded a loss of US$385,000 for the year ended 31 March 2019 and had net assets of $2,348,000 as at 31 March 2019 (2018: profit of $270,000 and net assets of $1,788,000). Accruals Management have used judgement and prudence when estimating certain accruals for contractor claims. The accruals recognised are based on work performed but are before settlement. Contingencies By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events. Please refer to Note 23 for further details. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 13 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period are discussed below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Provision for expected credit losses (ECL) on trade receivables and contract assets ECLs are unbiased probability-weighted estimates of credit losses which are determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes and taking into account past events, current conditions and assessment of future economic conditions. The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables and contract assets. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns. The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. At every reporting date, historical default rates are updated and changes in the forward- looking estimates are analysed. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future. The carrying amount of the Company’s trade receivables at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements. Revenue recognition The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method to account for its contract revenue. The stage of completion is measured in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 6. Significant assumptions are required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the contract cost incurred, the estimated total contract cost and the recoverability of the contracts. In making these assumptions, management has relied on past experience and the work of specialists. Significant judgement is also required to assess allowance made for foreseeable losses, if any, where the contract cost incurred for any job exceeds its contract sum. The carrying amounts of contract balances at the reporting date are disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements. Allowance for inventory obsolescence The Group reviews the ageing analysis of inventories at each reporting date, and makes provision for obsolete and slow moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sale. The net realisable value for such inventories are estimated based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date. These estimates take into consideration market demand, competition, selling price and cost directly relating to events occurring after the end of the financial year to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the financial year. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories. The carrying amounts of the Company’s inventories at the reporting date are disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statements. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 14 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 4. Adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except that in the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and amended standards which are relevant to the Group after 1 April 2018. Except for the adoption of FRS 109/IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and FRS 115/IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers described below, the adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the financial performance or position of the Group. FRS 109/FRS 9 Financial Instruments FRS 109/IFRS 9 replaces FRS 39/IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. The Company applied FRS 109/IFRS 9 retrospectively, with an initial application date of 1 April 2018. The Company has not restated comparative information which continues to be reported under FRS 39/IAS 39 and the disclosure requirements of FRS 107/IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures relating to items within the scope of FRS 39/IAS 39. The impact arising from FRS 109/IFRS 9 adoption was included in the opening retained earnings and other components of equity at the date of initial application. The effects of adopting FRS 109/IFRS 9 as at 1 April 2018 are described below: Classification and measurement Under FRS 109/IFRS 9, debt instruments are subsequently measured either at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is based on two criteria: the Company’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent “solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding. The assessment of the Company’s business model was made as of the date of initial application, 1 April 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments solely comprised of principal and interest was made based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets. The adoption of FRS 109/IFRS 9 did not have a significant impact to the Company other than changes to the classification of the Company’s financial assets. Trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents classified as loans and receivables as at 31 March 2018 are held to collect contractual cash flows and give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest. These were classified and measured as debt instruments at amortised cost beginning 1 April 2018. The Company has not designated any financial liabilities at FVPL. There are no changes in classification and measurement for the Company’s financial liabilities. In summary, upon the adoption of FRS 109/IFRS 9, the Company had the following required or elected reclassifications as at 1 April 2018: The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 15 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 4. Adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations (continued) FRS 39/IAS 39 measurement category US$ FRS 109/IFRS9 measurement category FVPL US$ FVOCI US$ Amortised cost US$ Loan and receivables Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Impairment 2,142 871 3,013 - - - - 2,142 871 3,013 The adoption of FRS 109/IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Company’s accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing FRS 39/IAS 39’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach. FRS 109/IFRS 9 requires the Company to recognise an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at FVPL. The adoption of FRS 109/IFRS 9 did not have a material effect on the impairment losses recognised by the Company as at | April 2018. The accounting policies for financial instruments under FRS 109/IFRS 9 are disclosed in Note 6. FRS 115/IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers FRS 115/IFRS 15 supersedes FRS 11/IAS 11 Construction Contracts, FRS 18/IAS 18 Revenue and related interpretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. FRS 115/IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflect the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. FRS 115/IFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard requires extensive disclosures. The Company adopted FRS 115/IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 April 2018. Under this method, the standard can be applied either to all contracts at the date of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed at this date. The Company elected to apply the standard to all contracts as at 1 April 2018. The cumulative effect of initially applying FRS 115/IFRS 15 is recognised at the date of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Therefore, the comparative information was not restated and continues to be reported under FRS 11/IAS 11, FRS 18/IAS 18 and related interpretations. The adoption of FRS 115/IFRS 15 did not have a material effect on the Company’s opening retained earnings as at 1 April 2018. The accounting policies under FRS 115/IFRS 15 are disclosed in Note 6. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 16 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 5. Standards issued but not yet effective A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 April 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Group expects that the adoption of the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective will not have any impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application except for FRS 116/IFRS 16 Leases: FRS 116/IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise most leases on the statement of financial position. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees - leases of ‘low value’ assets and short-term leases. FRS 116/IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. At commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e. the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e. the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. The Company plans to adopt FRS 116/IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings at the date of initial application, 1 April 2019. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting FRS 116/IFRS 16. 6. Summary of significant accounting policies Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are shown at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation, any incidental cost of purchase, and associated borrowing costs. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Directly attributable costs include employee benefits, professional fees and costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly. Capitalised borrowing costs include those that are directly attributable to the construction of mining and infrastructure assets. Property, plant and equipment relate to plant, machinery, fixtures and fittings and are shown at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The depreciation rates applied to each type of asset are as follows: Plant and machinery Motor Vehicles Fixtures and fittings Lease Improvements 2 to 10 years 2 to 10 years 3 years 5 years Subsequent expenditure is capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits from the use of the asset will be increased. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Assets that are replaced and have no future economic benefit are derecognised and expensed through profit or loss. Repairs and maintenance which neither materially add to the value of assets nor appreciably prolong their useful lives are charged against income. Gains/ losses on the disposal of fixed assets are credited/charged to income. The gain or loss is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset. The asset’s residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted prospectively if appropriate. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 17 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value Financial instruments These accounting policies are applied on and after the initial application date of FRS 109/IFRS 9, 1 April 2018: (a) Financial assets (i) Classification, initial recognition and measurement The Company classifies its financial assets into the following measurement categories: amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Financial assets are recognised when, and only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third party, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component at initial recognition. (ii) Subsequent measurement Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company only has debt instruments at amortised cost. Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the assets are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Debt instruments of the Company comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. Equity instruments On initial recognition of an investment in equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income which will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are to be recognised in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established. For investments in equity instruments which the Company has not elected to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 18 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Financial instruments (continued) (iii)Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income for debt instruments is recognised in profit or loss. (b) Financial liabilities (i) Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs. (ii) Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at FVPL are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other payables. (iii) Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amounts and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. These accounting policies are applied before the initial application date of FRS 109/IFRS 9, 1 April 2018: (a) Financial assets (i) Classification, initial recognition and measurement The Company classified non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The Company initially recognised loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they were originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at FVPL) were recognised initially on the trade date, which was the date that the Company became a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. When financial assets were recognised initially, they were measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs. (ii) Subsequent measurement Financial assets at FVPL A financial asset was classified at FVPL if it was classified as held for trading or was designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets were designated at FVPL if the Company managed such investments and made purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs were recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at FVPL were measured at fair value, and changes therein, which took into account any dividend income, were recognised in profit or loss. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 19 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Financial instruments (continued) (a) Financial assets (continued) Held-to-maturity financial assets If the Company had the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then such financial assets were classified as held-to-maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to- maturity financial assets were measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. (ii)Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables Loans and receivables were financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that were not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables were measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Gains and losses were recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables were derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Loans and receivables comprised cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets were non-derivative financial assets that were designated as available-for-sale or were not classified in any of the above categories of financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they were measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, were recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment was derecognised, the gain or loss accumulated in equity was reclassified to profit or loss. (iii)Derecognition A financial asset was derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset had expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (and, where applicable, any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income) was recognised in profit or loss. (b) Financial liabilities (i) Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at FVPL) were recognised initially on the trade date, which was the date that the Company became a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities were recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs. (ii) Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial liabilities that were not carried at FVPL were subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses were recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities were derecognised, and through the amortisation process. These financial liabilities comprised trade and other payables The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 20 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Financial instruments (continued) (iii) Derecognition A financial liability was derecognised when the obligation under the liability was discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability was replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability were substantially modified, such an exchange or modification was treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts was recognised in profit or loss. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term deposits that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term commitments. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, pledged deposits are excluded whilst bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and that form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included in cash and cash equivalents. Impairment – Financial Assets These accounting policies are applied on and after the initial application date of FRS 109/IFRS 9, 1 April 2018: The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at FVPL and contract assets. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment which could affect debtors’ ability to pay. The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are past due for more than 90 days. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. These accounting policies are applied before the initial application date of FRS 109/IFRS 9, 1 April 2018: The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 21 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment – Financial Assets (continued) A financial asset not carried at FVPL was assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there was objective evidence that it was impaired. A financial asset was impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event had occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) were impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. Financial assets Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity financial assets The Company considered evidence of impairment for loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities were assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired were then collectively assessed for any impairment that had been incurred but not yet identified. Assets that were not individually significant were collectively assessed for impairment. Collective assessment was carried out by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Company used historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, and made an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions were such that the actual losses were likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. An impairment loss was calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. When the Company considered that there were no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts were written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreased and the decrease was related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss was reversed through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets were recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss. The amount reclassified was the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss recognised previously in profit or loss. Ifthe fair value of an impaired available- for-sale debt security subsequently increased and the increase was related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, then the impairment loss was reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale were not reversed through profit or loss. Impairment - Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 22 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment - Non-financial assets (continued) The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are non-derivative financial liabilities that are not quoted in an active market. It represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the year end and which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and have 7-30 day payment terms. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not during within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest (EIR) method. The fair value implies the rate of return on the debt component of the facility. This rate of return reflects the significant risks attaching to the facility from the lenders’ perspective. Determination of Fair Values A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. Trade and other receivables The fair values of trade and other receivables are estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement date. Current receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Fair value is determined at initial recognition and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date. Non-derivative financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value at initial recognition and for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date. Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement date. Other financial assets and liabilities The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year is assumed to approximate their fair values. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 23 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Provisions Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax amount that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money, and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Finance income Interest income is made up of interest received on cash and cash equivalents. Income tax Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, 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: • In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred income tax assets are recognised only 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 income 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 income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Foreign currencies i) Functional and presentation currency Group has continued to use US dollars as its functional currency however since acquisition Group's major transactions have been in Singapore Dollars. Group plans to grow its business in other South East Asian countries and will reassess its functional currency within the next 12 months. Group’s presentation currency is also US dollars. ii) Transaction and Balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss, should specific criteria be met. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. iii) Group Companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented as translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position. • Income and expenses for each income statement and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transactions dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and • All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income Revenue Recognition These accounting policies are applied on and after the initial application date of FRS 115/IFRS 15, 1 April 2018: Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 25 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 6. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Revenue Recognition (continued) Rendering of services Revenue from rendering of services is recognised as performance obligations are satisfied. Payments are due from customers based on the agreed billing milestone stipulated in the contracts or based on the amounts certified by the customers. Where performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses, revenue is recognised progressively based on the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the cost incurred relative to total estimated costs (input method). The related costs are recognised in profit or loss when they are incurred, unless they relate to future performance obligations. If the value of services rendered for the contract exceeds payments received from the customer, a contract asset is recognised and presented separately on the balance sheet. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional. If the amounts invoiced to the customer exceeds the value of services rendered, a contract liability is recognised and separately presented in the statement of financial position. These accounting policies are applied before the initial application date of FRS 115/IFRS 15, 1 April 2018: Interest Income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Contract assets and liabilities Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on project work. Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Company invoices the customer. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers and progress billings issued in excess of the Company’s rights to the consideration.

The contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers for contract revenue. If the amounts invoiced to the customer exceeds the value of services rendered, a contract liability is recognised and presented separately.

Taxation Unrecognised tax losses Where the realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable profits, losses carried forward are recognised only to the extent that business forecasts predict that such profits will be available to the companies in which losses arose. The parent, Golden Saint Technologies Ltd, is not liable to corporation tax in BVI, so it has no provision for deferred tax. However, Golden Saint Technologies (Australia) Pty Ltd is liable to tax in Australia and EMS is liable for tax in Singapore.

Related party transactions During the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019, there were no related party transactions other than loans between wholly owned subsidiaries. 27. Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Group’s Board provides certain specific guidance in managing such risks, particularly as relates to credit and liquidity risk. Any form of borrowings requires approval from the Board and the Group does not currently use any derivative financial instruments to manage its financial risks. The key financial risks and the Group’s major exposures are as follows: Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets. In relation to cash and cash equivalents, the Group limits its credit risk with regards to bank deposits by only dealing with reputable banks. In relation to sales receivables, the Group’s credit risk is managed by credit checks for credit customers and approval of letters of credit by the Group’s advising bank. Foreign Currency Risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The table below indicates the currencies to which the Group had significant exposure at 31 March 2019 on its monetary assets and liabilities. The analysis calculates the effect of a reasonably possible movement of the currency rate against the US dollar, with all other variables held constant on the statement of comprehensive income (due to the fair value of currency sensitive nontrading monetary assets and liabilities). A positive amount in the table reflects a potential net increase in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 28. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Numbers in the table below represent the gross, contractual, undiscounted amount payable in relation to the financial liabilities. 35 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 28. Liquidity risk (continued) The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a combination of cash flow forecasts, budgeting and monitoring of operational performance.

Operating lease commitments Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent. Refer to the statement of changes in equity for quantitative information regarding equity. The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders. For details of the capital managed by the Group as at 31 March 2019, please see Note 15. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 30. Capital management The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the returns to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. Capital consists of total equity. The directors review the capital structure on an ongoing basis. As a part of the review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on the recommendation of the directors, the Company will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues as well as the issue of new debts or the redemption of existing debt. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is registered with the Building and Construction Authority and is required to maintain certain minimum capital and net worth. The Company has complied with the applicable capital requirements for the financial years ended 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018. 31. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. A sensitivity analysis is not presented, as all borrowing costs have been capitalised as at 31 March 2019; therefore, profit or loss and equity would have not been affected by changes in the interest rate. 36 GOLDEN SAINT TECHNOLOGIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 Directors’ Renumeration Policy and practice The Group operates on a strictly “capital efficient’ approach and therefore director’s renumeration has been based on conservative market matching rates in order to act in the best interest of the company during the growth phase. At this time, outside of the existing shareholdings, there are no performance components included in directors’ renumeration. A renumeration committee has been formed to oversee this aspect of the Group’s operations. Remuneration Committee is chaired by Mr. Malcolm Groat and Mr William Knight is the other participating member and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for all Executive Directors. The remuneration Committee is undertaking a strategic review of the structure of the director renumeration to ensure that the correct mix of fixed renumeration and performance-related incentives are provided to maintain the Company’s competitiveness in the corporate marketplace. Contracts Directors’ renumeration in its various forms was historically agreed by the Executive Chairman but is now overseen exclusively by the renumeration committee. All contracts are continuous until terminated by either party.

Whom we are reporting to This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. What we have audited The financial report of Golden Saint Technologies Limited for the year ended 31 March 2019, which comprises the following statements: ‐ Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, ‐ Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, ‐ Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, ‐ Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, ‐ Parent Company Statement of Financial Position, ‐ Parent Company Statement of Changes in Equity, and ‐ All related notes to the above. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Group and parent company financial statements is applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. Overview of Audit Approach We set materiality for the Group at 1.5% of revenue: USD 99,000. We performed full scope audit procedures over all Group entities. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matter described below to be a key audit matter to be communicated in our report. Accounting for acquisition of EMS Wiring Systems PTE. Limited Refer to Note 25, Acquisition of EMS Wiring System PTE. Ltd. and Note 2 Basis of Preparation Key audit matter The acquisition of EMS Wiring System PTE. Ltd has been accounting for by the Company as a continuation of the financial statements of the accounting acquirer (EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Limited), together with share base payment measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share Based Payments. for this transaction is complex, Accounting requiring management to exercise judgment to determine whether the acquisition should give accounting rise the accounting methodology and whether acquire meets the definition of a business under IFRS 3 Business combinations. acquisition reverse to We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to the size and scope of the acquisition and the in accounting for this transaction. judgments and complexity involved How our report addressed the report Our audit work includes, but was not restricted to, the following;  Reviewing the share sale agreement involving Golden Saint Technologies Ltd. and the Company, and reviewing the to understand key terms and conditions; Company’s prospectus  Critically evaluating the bases for reverse management adoption of acquisition and share based payment accounting methodology. This included an analysis of the aforementioned factors;  Assessing management mathematical application of reverse acquisition accounting methodology, including the calculation of relative voting rights in the combined entity after the transaction  Testing whether the accounting acquiree comprised an integrated set of activities and assets comprises input and process and hence constitute a business  Assessing the appropriateness of relevant disclosures in the financial statements. Our application of materiality and an overview of the scope of our audit Materiality We define materiality as the magnitude of a misstatement in the financial statements that makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced. We use materiality in determining the nature, timing and extent of our audit work and in evaluating the results of that work. We determined materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole to be USD 99,000, which represents 1.5% of the Group’s revenue for the year ended 31 March 2019. This benchmark is considered the most appropriate because this is a key performance measure used by the Board of Directors to report to investors on the financial performance of the Group. We use a different level of materiality, performance materiality, to drive the extent of our testing and this was set at 75% of financial statement materiality for the audit of the Group financial statements. We also determine a lower level of specific materiality for certain areas such as Directors’ remuneration and related party transactions. We agreed with the Board that we would report all audit differences in excess of USD 4,900, as well as differences below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also report to the Audit Committee on disclosure matters that we identified when assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements. Overview of the scope of our audit A description of the generic scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditscopeprivate. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) (UK and Ireland). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit’ section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for auditors, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those Ethical Standards. The Group has operations in the Singapore and Australia and are managed by the Group’s management, which operates from Singapore. Through our procedures, all Group entities were subjected to a comprehensive audit approach. Our audit approach was based on a thorough understanding of the Group’s business and is risk based, and in particular included: ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ undertaking interim procedures before the year end date to evaluate the Group’s internal control environment, including IT systems and controls; at this visit, we performed an evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls over key financial statement risk identified as part of our risk assessment, reviewed the accounts production process and performed certain transactional procedures for the first nine months of the year in advance of the year end; at the final audit visit, we undertook substantive testing on significant transactions, balances and disclosures, the extent of which was based on various factors such as our overall assessment of the control environment, the effectiveness of controls over individual systems and the management of specific risks; and the scope of the current year audit has remained consistent with the scope of that of the prior year. Opinion on Other Matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 Our opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 are unmodified. In our opinion, the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: ‐ ‐ the information given in the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the Report of the Directors has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and Parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Directors. Matters on which we are required to report by exception Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: ‐ ‐ ‐ adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the parent company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or ‐ we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Under the Listing Rules, we are required to review: ‐ ‐ the Directors’ statements in relation to going concern and longer-term viability; and the part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the Company’s compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review. Under the ISAs (UK and Ireland), we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, information in the annual report is: ‐ materially inconsistent with the information in the audited financial statements; or ‐ ‐ apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, our knowledge of the Group acquired in the course of performing our audit; or otherwise misleading. In particular, we are required to report to you if: ‐ we have identified any inconsistencies between our knowledge acquired during the audit and the Directors’ statement that they consider the annual report is fair, balanced and understandable; or ‐ the annual report does not appropriately disclose those matters that were communicated to the Audit Committee which we consider should have been disclosed. We have nothing to report in respect of any of the above matters. We also confirm that we do not have anything material to add or to draw attention to in relation to: ‐ the Directors’ confirmation in the annual report that they have carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Group including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity; ‐ ‐ ‐ the disclosures in the annual report that describe those risks and explain how they are being managed or mitigated; the Directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether they have considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing them, and their identification of any material uncertainties to the Group’s ability to continue to do so over a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements; and the Directors’ explanation in the annual report as to how they have assessed the prospects of the Group, over what period they have done so and why they consider that period to be appropriate, and their statement as to whether they have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of their assessment, including any related disclosures drawing attention to any necessary qualifications or assumptions. Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit What the Directors are responsible for: As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. What we are responsible for: Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).
