The increase of S$3.0 million was mainly due to increase in trade payables of S$1.8 million, accruals of S$0.5 million and other payables of S$0.7 million.

The increase in trade payables was mainly attributed to the higher level of activity during the financial period with regard to our Tooling and plastic injection moulding operations (for which trade payables increased by S$1.4 million) and Communication, electronics and equipment distribution businesses (for which trade payables increased by S$0.5 million).

  1. whether they are major customer(s) and whether the Company continues to transact with these customer(s);
    As of 30 June 2021, 34% (31 December 2020: 45%) of the Group's trade receivables was due from 5 major customers. The Group continues to transact with these customers.
  2. What were the actions taken to recover the trade and other receivables;
    The management reviews the trade receivables aging periodically and follows up with the respective personnel on collection matters. Where deemed appropriate, the Group may cease processing new orders from the customers until overdue debts are settled or pared down. The management may also take legal actions to recover long overdue debts, if necessary.
  3. The Board's opinion on the reasonableness of the methodologies used to determine the value of the impairment of the trade and other receivables; and
    The Company uses the practical expedient under SFRS(I) 9 in the form of allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss ("ECL") for trade receivables where the loss allowance is equal to lifetime ECL. The ECL rates are based on the Group's historic loss experience of the customers, for the last 3 years prior to the reporting date for various customer groups that are assessed by geographical locations, adjusted for forward looking factors, including management's best estimate of the impact of COVID-19, specific to the debtors and the economic environment which could affect the ability of the debtors to settle the trade receivables.
    Management also accesses whether there may be factors which may indicate that a receivable is credit impaired, such as a debtor entering bankruptcy or other financial reorganization or cessation of operations.
    The Board is satisfied with the reasonableness of the methodologies used to determine the value of the impairment of the trade and other receivables.
  4. The Board's assessment of the recoverability of the remaining trade and other receivables.
    The Board has assessed the reasonableness of the recoverability of the remaining trade and other receivables and viewed that there is no indication of further impairment required as at 30 June 2021.
