is due to the announced distribution in specie of LFHL shares which resulted the exclusion of LFHL's cash balance as at 30 June 2021.

  1. There was a decrease in the Group's overall revenue by about 5% to S$14.36m compared to the Group's overall revenue of S$15.11m for FY2020, which has been restated to exclude contributions from LFHL.
  2. The Group's balance sheet remains healthy with cash accounting for 68% of the Group's net asset value. The Group's debt-to-equity ratio and current ratio are 0.0242 and 3.529 respectively.
  3. Hose & Marine, Measuring Instruments Business Update
    • The business will continue to focus on increasing brand agencies and complementary products.
    • When movement control eases, the Group will focus on leveraging on existing distribution networks and channels to increase coverage.
  4. Property Business Update
    • The Group will concentrate on its efforts to recover the balance of advances it made to the Kaiping District Government for the Tangshan initiative.
    • On the Polo Club Residence project in Tambun, Perak, Malaysia, the Group has successfully converted the land use right from agriculture use to residential use, and finally obtained approval to convert it to commercial use. The successful conversion to commercial use meant that the development would not be required to provide for provision of bumiputra allocation, and no longer be governed under Housing Development Act. In addition, the plot ratio will be increased which will allow more space to be developed and that the project team could re-look the development design to further enhance its value.
    • The Group's affordable housing project in Sri Iskandar is slated to launch on 11
      November 2021. During the first phase, 456 units will be available for bookings and entry into SPAs with buyers.
  5. Distribution in Specie ("DIS") Update
    • During September 2021, the Company's shareholders approved the DIS. It is expected that the DIS will be completed during end December 2021. With the LFHL shares distributed, shareholders have the option of unlocking value in LFHL.
    • The Board is of the view that this DIS exercise further increases shareholders' value.
    • With the completion of the DIS, GRP could reduce compliance and regulatory cost, and allow management to focus on strategies to grow long-term value further. It also allows LFHL to manage its fast-growing business independently.

5. POLL VOTING
