On 13 June 2012, Meyer BVI was licensed to provide investment business services 
under Section 3 of the Securities and Investment Business Act, 2010 of the 
British Virgin Islands. 
 
On 23 September 2016, Meyer Thailand acquired 51.00% of Prime RE. 
 
On 20 October 2016, 51.00% of Meyer Thailand, owned beneficially via a trust 
agreement in favour of Meyer BVI, was acquired by Prime RE. 
 
The Parent Company is the indirect owner of 51.00% of the outstanding shares of 
Prime RE and Meyer Thailand, and accordingly the Parent Company has accounted 
for them as wholly owned subsidiaries. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group's 
consolidated financial statements are set out below. 
 
a)      Statement of compliance 
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") and 
interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRS IC") 
applicable to companies reporting under IFRSs.  The financial statements comply 
with IFRSs as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). 
 
b)      Basis of preparation 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of 
historical costs and do not take into account increases in the market value of 
assets except financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. 
 
The Group's financial records and statements are maintained and presented in 
U.S. Dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar. 
 
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group and are 
consistent with those used in the previous year. 
 
There are no new, revised or amended IFRSs or IFRS IC interpretations that are 
effective for the first time for the financial period beginning 1 March 2020 
that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group's consolidated 
financial statements. 
 
c)      Use of estimates 
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs 
requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect 
the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
income and expenses.  The estimates and associated assumptions are based on 
historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be 
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of 
making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are 
not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these 
estimates. 
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the 
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period 
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and 
future periods. 
 
d)      Investment in subsidiaries 
 
Basis of consolidation 
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the 
Parent Company and its subsidiaries for the six months ended 31 August 2020. 
Details of the Group are set out in note 1. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
d)      Investment in subsidiaries (Cont'd) 
 
Basis of consolidation (Cont'd) 
 
Subsidiaries are enterprises controlled by the Parent Company.  Control is 
achieved when the Parent Company is exposed or has rights to variable returns 
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power to direct the activities of the              entity. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is 
transferred to the Parent Company.  Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of 
a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included or excluded 
in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Parent Company gains 
control or until the date the Parent Company ceases to control the subsidiary. 
 
Non-controlling interests pertain to the equity in a subsidiary not 
attributable, directly or indirectly to the Parent Company.  Any equity 
instruments issued by a subsidiary that are not owned by the Parent Company are 
non-controlling interests including preferred shares and options under 
share-based transactions. 
 
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net 
assets in subsidiaries not wholly-owned and are presented in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity 
and consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the Parent 
Company's equity. 
 
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interests even 
if that results in a deficit balance. 
 
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, 
is accounted for as an equity transaction.  Any difference between the amount 
by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the 
consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity as an "equity 
reserve" and attributed to the owners of the Group. 
 
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the 
subsidiary to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by the 
Parent Company. 
 
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in 
consolidation.  Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised 
gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 
 
Acquisitions 
 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business 
combinations by the Group. 
 
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary or business 
comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred 
and the equity interests issued by the Group.  The consideration transferred 
also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and 
the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. 
 
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
d)      Investment in subsidiaries (Cont'd) 
 
Acquisitions (Cont'd) 
 
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed 
in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at 
their fair values at the acquisition date. 
 
On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition either at 
fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the 
acquiree's net identifiable assets. 
 
The excess of (i) the consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of 
any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the (ii) fair value of the 
net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. 
 
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts 
payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of 
exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, 
being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an 
independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 
 
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial 
liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently 
remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or 
loss. 
 
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date 
carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or 
losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. 
 
e)      Fixed assets 
 
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and 
impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statement 
of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the estimated useful 
lives of the fixed assets. 
 
The annual rates of depreciation in use are as follows: 
 
Leasehold improvements                                20% 
 
Office equipment                                       20-33% 
 
Vehicles                                                         20% 
 
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a 
separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic 
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the 
item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted 
for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and 
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which 
they are incurred. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
f)       Investment property 
 
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or capital 
appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, 
use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative 
purposes. Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently at 
cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (refer to 
accounting policy (o)), if any, with any change therein recognised in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 
 
Investment property comprises condominium units. 
 
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of 
investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes 
the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable 
to bringing the investment property to a working condition for its intended use 
and capitalised borrowing costs. 
 
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the 
difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of 
the item) is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 
When an investment property that was previously classified as property, plant 
and equipment is sold, any related amount included in the revaluation reserve 
is transferred to retained earnings. 
 
When the use of property changes such that it is reclassified as fixed assets, 
its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent 
accounting. 
 
Depreciable investment property is stated at cost less accumulated 
depreciation.  Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives 
of the investment property. 
 
The annual rate of depreciation in use for condominium units is 5%. 
 
Subsequent expenditure incurred is capitalised only when it increases the 
future economic benefits embodied in that property.  All other expenditure is 
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when it is 
incurred. 
 
g)      Cash and cash equivalents 
 
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, 
cash includes current deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value, and bank overdrafts. 
 
h)      Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss 
("FVTPL") 
 
A financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss or other if; 
 
i)     its contractual terms do not give rise to cash flows on specified dates 
that are solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal 
amount outstanding; or 
 
ii)     it is not held within a business model whose objective is either to 
collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and 
sell; or 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
h)      Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss 
("FVTPL") (Cont'd) 
 
iii)    at initial recognition, it is irrevocably designated as measured at 
fair value through profit or loss when doing so eliminates or significantly 
reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise 
from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on 
them on different bases. 
 
The Group recognises financial assets measured at FVTPL when it becomes a party 
to the contractual provisions of an instrument. The Group's financial assets 
measured at FVTPL comprise investment in fund. 
 
Financial assets measured at FVTPL are recorded in the consolidated statement 
of financial position at fair value.  All transaction costs for such 
instruments are recognised directly in profit or loss. 
 
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets measured at FVTPL are 
measured at fair value.  Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair 
value are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income 
within other net changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities at 
fair value through profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 
 
i)       Financial assets at amortised cost 
 
Financial assets at amortised cost comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade 
receivables and loans and other receivables.  Financial assets are recognised 
initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable 
to its acquisition.  These financial assets are held for collection of 
contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest, 
if any, and therefore are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method.  Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is 
recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) 
together with foreign exchange gains and losses.  Impairment losses are 
presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income. 
 
Regular way purchases and sales are recognised on the trade-date, the date on 
which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.  Financial assets are 
derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets 
have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 
 
The Group applies the general approach permitted by IFRS 9, "Financial 
Instruments" ("IFRS 9") which requires expected credit losses ("ECL") to be 
recognised based on the full three-stage model as follows: 
 
  * Stage 1: Items that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality 
    since initial recognition.  A loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL is 
    recognised and interest income is calculated on the gross carrying amount 
    of the financial asset. 
 
  * Stage 2: Items that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since 
    initial recognition but do not have objective evidence of a credit loss 
    event.  A loss allowance equal to lifetime ECL is recognised but interest 
    income is still calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
i)       Financial assets at amortised cost (Cont'd) 
 
  * Stage 3: Items that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting 
    date.  A loss allowance equal to lifetime ECL is recognised and interest 
    income is calculated on the net carrying amount. 
 
The Group considers a receivable in default when contractual payments are over 
365 days past due.  However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a 
receivable to be in default when internal and external information indicates 
that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in 
full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group.  A 
receivable is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering 
the contractual cash flows. 
 
Receivables for which an impairment provision is recognised, are written off 
against the provision, when there is no expectation of recovering additional 
cash. 
 
Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income. 
 
See note 13(b). 
 
j)       Financial liabilities at amortised cost 
 
Financial liabilities are non-derivative contractual obligations to deliver 
cash or another financial asset to another entity and comprise trade payables, 
due to director and other payables and accrued expenses. 
 
These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value on the date 
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of an instrument and 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method. 
 
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in a 
contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. 
 
k)      Leases 
 
Leases of equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and 
risks of ownership are classified as finance leases.  Finance leases are 
capitalised at the estimated present value of the underlying lease payments. 
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as 
to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding.  The 
corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are recorded as 
long-term liabilities.  The finance charge is taken to the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income over the lease period.  Assets acquired under 
finance lease agreements are depreciated over their useful lives. 
 
Leases of assets under which all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. 
Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statement 
of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease term has expired, any 
penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which the termination 
takes place. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
l)       Share capital, treasury shares and retained earnings/accumulated 
deficit 
 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly 
attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from 
equity. 
 
Where any Group company purchases the Parent Company's equity instruments, for 
example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based payment plan, the 
consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net 
of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the 
Group as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such 
ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of 
any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income 
tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Group. 
 
Retained earnings/accumulated deficit represent the cumulative balance of 
periodic net income/loss, dividend distributions and prior period adjustments. 
 
m)     Share-based payment 
 
The Group entered into a series of equity-settled, share-based payment 
transactions, under which the Group received services from a third party as 
consideration for equity instruments (shares, options or warrants) of the 
Group. 
 
For non-vesting share-based payments, the fair value of the service received in 
exchange for the shares is recognised as an expense immediately with a 
corresponding credit to share capital. 
 
For share-based payments with vesting periods, the service received is 
recognised as an expense by reference to the fair value of the share options 
granted or warrants issued. The total expense is recognised over the vesting 
period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions 
are to be satisfied with a corresponding credit to the share capital reserve. 
 
n)      Revenue and expense recognition 
 
In relation to the rendering of professional services, the Group recognises fee 
income as time is expended and costs are incurred, provided the amount of 
consideration to be received is reasonably determinable and there is reasonable 
expectation of its ultimate collection. 
 
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment property is 
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight 
line basis over the term of the lease. 
 
Interest income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income as it accrues. 
 
All expenses are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income on the accrual basis. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
o)      Impairment 
 
The carrying amounts of the Group's assets are reviewed at each reporting date 
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.  If any such 
indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.  The 
recoverable amount is estimated as the greater of an asset's net selling price 
or value in use.  An impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income whenever the carrying amount of an asset or 
its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. 
 
If in a subsequent period, the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the 
decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the write-down, 
the write-down is reversed through the consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income. 
 
An impairment is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount 
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of 
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 
 
p)      Offsetting 
 
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in 
the consolidated statement of financial position whenever the Group has a 
legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the 
transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis. 
 
q)      Foreign currency 
 
Functional and presentation currency 
 
The subsidiaries' functional currencies are disclosed in note 1 to the 
financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
U.S. Dollars, rounded off to the nearest dollar. 
 
Transactions and balances 
 
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the foreign currency 
exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign 
currency closing exchange rate ruling at the reporting date.  Foreign currency 
exchange differences arising on conversion or translation and realised gains 
and losses on disposals or settlements of monetary assets and liabilities are 
recognised in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. 
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are 
measured at fair value are translated at the foreign currency exchange rates 
ruling at the dates that the values were determined.  Foreign currency exchange 
differences relating to investments are included in net realised/unrealised 
gain/(loss) on investments.  All other foreign currency exchange differences 
relating to monetary items, including cash and cash equivalents, are presented 
in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
q)      Foreign currency (Cont'd) 
 
Foreign operations 
 
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair 
value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into U.S. Dollars at 
the exchange rates ruling at the reporting date.  The income and expenses of 
foreign operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average rate.  The 
net differences arising from translation and remeasurement of foreign 
operations are recognised as other comprehensive income and accumulated in a 
separate reserve within equity.  The cumulative amount is reclassified to 
profit and loss when the foreign operation is disposed of. 
 
None of the foreign operations has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. 
 
Translation reserve 
 
Assets and liabilities of the Group's non-U.S. Dollar functional currency 
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the closing exchange rates at 
the reporting date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at the average 
exchange rates for the year.  All cumulative differences from the translation 
of the equity of foreign subsidiaries resulting from changes in exchange rates 
are included in a separate caption within equity without affecting income. 
 
r)       Related parties 
 
Related parties are individuals and entities where the individual or entity has 
the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise 
significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating 
decisions. 
 
s)      Segment reporting 
 
The Group's operating businesses are organised and managed separately according 
to geographical area, with each segment representing a strategic business unit 
that serves a different market.  Financial information on business segments is 
presented in note 12 of the consolidated financial statements. 
 
t)       Taxation 
 
Taxation on net profit before taxation for the year comprises both current and 
deferred tax. 
 
Current tax is the expected income tax payable on the taxable income for the 
year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date 
and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years in the countries 
where the Parent Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable 
income. 
 
2)        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) 
 
t)       Taxation (Cont'd) 
 
The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12, "Income Taxes," 
which requires that a deferred tax liability be recognised for all taxable 
temporary differences and a deferred tax asset be recognised for an 
enterprise's deductible temporary differences, operating losses, and tax credit 
carryforwards.  A deferred tax asset or liability is measured using the 
marginal tax rate that is expected to apply to the last dollars of taxable 
income in future years.  The effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates 
are recognised in the period that includes the enactment date. 
 
u)      Amended and newly issued accounting standards not yet adopted 
 
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are 
effective for annual periods beginning after 1 March 2019, and have not been 
adopted early in preparing these consolidated financial statements.  None of 
these are expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial 
statements of the Group.

5)        FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS (Cont'd) 
 
Investment in Ray Alliance Financial Advisers Pte Ltd (Cont'd) 
 
In June 2016, it came to the attention of the Group that the 45,000 ordinary 
shares in Ray Alliance owned by the Parent Company had been transferred without 
any authorisation by the Parent Company to the two other shareholders of Ray 
Alliance.  At that stage it was not known how the transfer was done without the 
authorisation or consent of the Parent Company.  Under the circumstances, the 
Parent Company considered the unauthorised transfer to be wrongful and entirely 
without legal basis. 
 
The Parent Company engaged a Singapore law firm and took legal advice on the 
matter. The Parent Company considered various options including taking legal 
action against the appropriate parties.  Through its solicitors, the Parent 
Company made a demand to the two other shareholders to immediately transfer 
back to the Parent Company the said 45,000 ordinary shares in Ray Alliance. 
 
On 26 September 2018, the Parent Company entered into a Settlement Agreement 
with the appropriate parties and agreed to settle on a full and final basis all 
claims, disputes and differences with regard to the unauthorised transfer of 
shares in Ray Alliance. 
 
The following was agreed by the parties under the Settlement Agreement: 
 
a)      the Group consented and ratified the transfer of Ray Alliance Shares; 
 
b)      return of 322,000 shares of the Parent Company previously issued as 
consideration for the Ray Alliance shares; 
 
c)      payment of SGD 350,000 to the Parent Company for claims on costs and 
damages. 
 
Treasury shares recognised by the Group for the return of the Parent Company's 
shares amounted to $318,162 (2019: $318,162). 
 
6)        LOAN RECEIVABLE

Bangkok, Thailand. 
 
The loan was due on 8 February 2020. However, MVT Development Ltd. was not able 
to repay the loan on the due date. Meyer BVI and MVT Development Ltd. are 
currently in negotiations over the repayment terms. 
 
Interest income during the half year amounted to $38,197 (2019: $38,781), of

11)      EARNINGS PER SHARE 
 
a)      Basic

equity holders of the Parent Company by the weighted average number of shares 
in issue during the year excluding treasury shares. 
 
                                                   31-Aug-20      31-Aug-19

b)      Diluted 
 
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average 
number of shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential 
shares. As at 31 August 2020 and 2019, the Parent Company had no share warrants 
or share options as potential dilutive shares. For the share options and 
warrants, if any, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that 
could have been acquired at fair value based on the monetary value of the 
subscription rights attached to outstanding share options and warrants. The 
number of shares calculated is compared with the number of shares that would 
have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options and warrants.

13)      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS 
 
Financial assets of the Group include cash and cash equivalents, trade 
receivables, loans and other receivables and financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss.  Financial liabilities include trade payables, due to 
director and other payables and accrued expenses. 
 
The Group has exposure to a variety of financial risks that are associated with 
these financial instruments.  The most important types of financial risk to 
which the Group is exposed are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 
 
The Group's overall risk management program is established to identify and 
analyse this risk, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor 
risks and adherence to limits in an effort to minimise potential adverse 
effects on the Group's financial performance. 
 
13)      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (Cont'd) 
 
a)      Market risk 
 
Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the 
market value of the Group's financial instruments.  The Group's exposure to 
market risk is determined by a number of factors which include interest rate 
risk and currency risk. 
 
Interest rate risk 
 
The financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk comprise cash and cash 
equivalents. 
 
The Group is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on cash and cash 
equivalents, which earn interest at floating interest rates that are reset as 
market rates change.  The Group is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent 
that these interest rates may fluctuate. 
 
A sensitivity analysis was performed with respect to the interest-bearing 
financial instruments with exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and 
management noted that there would be no material effect to shareholders' equity 
or net income for the year. 
 
Currency risk 
 
The Group may invest in financial instruments and enter into transactions 
denominated in currencies other than its functional currency.  Consequently, 
the Group is exposed to risk that the exchange rate of its currency relative to 
other foreign currencies may change in a manner that has an adverse affect on 
the value of that portion of the Group's assets or liabilities denominated in 
currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. 
 
The Group's total net exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange 
rates at the reporting date stated in U.S. Dollars was as follows:

b)      Credit risk 
 
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the 
reporting date if financial instrument counterparties failed to perform as 
contracted. 
 
As at 31 August 2020 and 2019, the Group's financial assets exposed to credit 
risk amounted to the following:

i)     Risk management 
 
The extent of the Group's exposure to credit risk in respect of these financial 
assets approximates their carrying values as recorded in the Group's 
consolidated statement of financial position. 
 
The Group invests all its available cash and cash equivalents in several 
banks.  The Group is exposed to credit risk to the extent that these banks may 
be unable to repay amounts owed.  To manage the level of credit risk, the Group 
attempts to deal with banks of good credit standing, whenever possible.

b)      Credit risk (Cont'd) 
 
i)     Risk management (Cont'd) 
 
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual 
characteristics of each customer.  To reduce exposure to credit risk, the Group 
may perform ongoing credit evaluations on the financial condition of its 
customers, but generally does not require collateral.  The Group has 
significant exposure to a small number of customers, the two largest owing 
$34,699 (2019: $156,320) as at year end, which represents 28% (2019: 67%) of 
gross trade receivables.  The Group is exposed to credit-related losses in the 
event of non-performance by these customers. The exposure to credit risk is 
reduced as these customers have a good working relationship with the Group and 
management does not expect any significant customer to fail to meet its 
obligations. 
 
The Group is exposed to credit risk with respect to its investments. 
Bankruptcy or insolvency of the investee companies may cause the Group's rights 
to the security to be delayed or become limited. 
 
The ageing of the Group's gross trade receivables as at half year end is as 
follows: 
 
                                           31-Aug-20     31-Aug-19 
 
     1 - 90 days                              111,075       114,613 
 
     Over 90 days                              10,851       120,002 
 
     Allowance for doubtful                   (8,572)       (7,090) 
 
                                             $113,354      $227,525 
 
ii)     Security 
 
For some trade receivables, the Group may obtain security in the form of 
guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters of credit which can be called upon 
if the counterparty is in default under the terms of their agreement. 
 
iii)    Impairment of financial assets 
 
The Group applies the IFRS 9 general approach to measuring ECL based on the 
full three-stage model. 
 
The Group determined the ECL based on probability-weighted outcome, the time 
value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available 
without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current 
conditions and forecast of future economic conditions.  The assessment also 
considered borrower specific information. 
 
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped 
based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

b)      Credit risk (Cont'd) 
 
iii)    Impairment of financial assets (Cont'd) 
 
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of revenues over a 
period of 36 months before 31 August 2020 and 2019 respectively and the 
corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period.  The 
historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking 
information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to 
settle the receivables. 
 
On that basis, the loss allowance as at 31 August 2020 and 2019 was determined 
as follows: 
 
                                      Expected 
 
                        Balance at     Credit        Loss Allowance at

                        Balance at     Credit        Loss Allowance at 
 
                         31-Aug-19   Loss Rate           31-Aug-19 
 
     Trade                 $227,525        3.12% 
receivables                                                         7,090 
 
The closing loss allowances for trade receivables as at 31 August 2020 and 2019 
reconcile to the opening loss allowances as follows: 
 
                                          31-Aug-20       31-Aug-19 
 
Opening balance                                7,090           7,179 
 
Increase/(decrease) in loss allowance          1,482            (89) 
 
Closing balance                               $8,572          $7,090 
 
Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of 
recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery 
include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan 
with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of 
greater than 365 days past due. 
 
Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses 
within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written 
off are credited against the same line item. 
 
While cash and cash equivalents and loans and other receivables are also 
subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment 
loss was immaterial. 
 
13)      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (Cont'd) 
 
c)      Liquidity risk 
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its 
financial obligations as they fall due.  The Group'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 
Group's reputation.  Typically, the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash 
on demand to meet expected operational needs as they arise. 
 
All of the Group's financial liabilities are expected to be settled within a 
year from the reporting date. 
 
14)      FAIR VALUE INFORMATION 
 
The Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise an 
investment in a fund. 
 
For certain of the Group's financial instruments, not carried at fair value, 
including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans and other 
receivables, trade payables and other payables and accrued expenses, the 
carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term 
nature of these financial instruments.  The carrying value of the amount due to 
director approximates its fair value, since such amount is repayable on demand. 
 
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: 
 
  * Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for 
    identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
    measurement date. 
  * Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 
    that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or 
    indirectly. 
  * Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 
 
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement 
is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level 
of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 
For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair 
value measurement in its entirety.  If a fair value measurement uses observable 
inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that 
measurement is a Level 3 measurement.  Assessing the significance of a 
particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires 
judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. 
 
The determination of what constitutes 'observable' requires significant 
judgment by the Group.  The Group considers observable data to be that market 
data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and 
verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are 
actively involved in the relevant market. 
 
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets 
are therefore classified within Level 1. 
 
Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be 
active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or 
alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified 
within Level 2 and for the Group includes the investment in fund.  As Level 2 
investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are 
subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect 
illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available 
market information. 
 
14)      FAIR VALUE INFORMATION (Cont'd) 
 
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as 
they trade infrequently. 
 
The Group did not hold any investments under the Levels 1 and 3 hierarchies as 
at 31 August 2020 and 2019. 
 
There were no significant investments transferred between Levels 1, 2 and 3. 
 
15)      CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT 
 
The Group's objectives when managing capital are: 
 
  * to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern; and 
  * to provide adequate returns to its shareholders. 
 
In order to maintain or balance its overall capital structure to meet its 
objectives, the Group is continually monitoring the level of share issuance and 
any dividend declaration and distributions to shareholders in the future. 
 
16)      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 
 
Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic 
 
The Group is carefully managing the coronavirus situation and during the 
closedown, had in place processes to protect personnel, including working from 
home and restricted travel arrangements. The Group continues to engage with 
customers in the most optimal way during this period. Supplies for our 
solutions are unaffected and the Group continues to be extremely vigilant. At 
this time, the Group has not assumed any financial impact to its outlook and it 
will continue to analyse potential implications and implement governmental 
guidelines as the situation evolves.
