MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
管理層討論及分析

BACKGROUND, RECENT DEVELOPMENT AND


OUTLOOK
KPa-BM Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the “Group”) are principally engaged in (i) provision of (i)
structural engineering works with a focus on design and build (ii)
projects in Hong Kong; (ii) supply of building material products
together with installation services of such products in Hong Kong; (iii)
and (iii) trading of building material products predominately in Hong
Kong.

Business operation of the Group remained relatively stable and key


projects progressed smoothly for the six months ended 30 September
2024 (the “Period”). In particular, the project for the tower facade
for redevelopment of a commercial building in Central achieved
favourable progress and recorded a revenue growth of over HK$86 86
million for the Period, and became the largest revenue contributor to
the Group. However, the Group encountered uncertainties in the
process of negotiation with a customer for settlement of
compensation for variation works on a project near to completion,
therefore, the management has revised the budget of the project and
resulting in a lower profit margin of the Group for the Period.

The Group’s value of outstanding contracts on hand as at 30


September 2024 amounted to approximately HK$619 million, as 619
compared to approximately HK$1,022 million as at 30 September
2023 (the “Previous Period”). 1,022

While Hong Kong’s economic environment becoming unstable and


cautious, private market customers are more price-sensitive when
investing in new projects and the construction industry is facing
fierce competition in the public market. The Group expects that the
outlook of the Group for the remaining part of the financial year and
the near term will be full of challenges. To this end, we will
strengthen cost control and maintain the quality of our works as
always to strive to stand out among our peers.

the of the reporting periods as those balances are from customers with
long business relationship and there has not been a significant change
in their credit quality.

(c) Credit policy (c)

In respect of structural engineering and supply and installation of


building material products, the Group usually submits a payment
application for interim payment on a monthly basis. The customer
usually issues an interim payment certificate within one month from
application submission and payment will be settled within another one
month. For trading of building material products, the Group usually
requires customers to pay a deposit in a mutually agreed percentage of 30
the order amount and grants a credit period of 30 days upon delivery
of products to customers.

15. GUARANTEE 15.


The Group provided guarantee in respect of the surety bonds
issued in favour of the customers of Group’s certain construction
contracts. The Group has unconditionally and irrecoverably
agreed to indemnify the bank as issuers of the bonds for claims
and losses they may incur in respect of the bonds. Details of
these guarantees as at the end of the reporting period are as
follows:

issued in favour of customers 28,115 28,115

As assessed by the directors, it is not probable that the bank


would claim the Group for losses in respect of the guarantee
contracts as it is unlikely that the Group is unable to fulfill
the performance requirements of the relevant contracts.
Accordingly, no provision for the Group’s obligations under the
guarantees has been made.

16. LITIGATIONS 16.


As at 30 September 2024, there was no any pending legal case
