fiNaNciaL performaNce

For FY 2011, the Group’s consolidated revenue decreased 59% or S$12.1 million from S$20.7 million in FY 2010 to S$8.6 million in FY 2011. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to the decrease in sales of Natural Gas Vehicles (“NGV”) in Thailand, cessation of several businesses in China and decrease in sales of plastics bag manufacturing, partially offset by the infrastructure project which the Group has secured with one major industrial aviation customer.

FY 2011 remained competitive for the Group as the global export market for storage devices was badly affected by the drop in demands for the hard disk drives (“HDD”). This ultimately affected our cleaning service and clean room plastic packaging bags manufacturing business. However, our effort to develop a new business based on clean energy has paid off. The Group has secured a contract with one major industrial aviation customer for the Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) downloading infrastructure project and the supply of CNG.

Net loss attributable to shareholders after taking into consideration of taxation and minority interest amounted to S$3.9 million or an increase of 29% compared to the net loss of S$3.0 million in FY 2010.

The net loss incurred in FY 2011 is mainly due to weakening of United States Dollar and Thailand Baht against Singapore Dollar and allowance for stocks obsolescence. The poor performance of tray cleaning business which was affected by the HDD downturn has resulted in the disposal of our subsidiaries in the second half of FY 2011. We believe that, with the closure of non-profitable companies, we would be able to reduce our losses and operate more efficiently to improve the Group’s results.

Annual Report 2011 5

LookiNg ahead

The precision tray cleaning segment in the HDD business will remain challenging and the Group will continue its cost cutting effort to render all the subsidiaries profitable. The Group has renewed a 2-year agreement with its major customer to provide tray washing and transport and logistical support service in Thailand. The Group will also upgrade its plastic bag manufacturing machineries progressively to ensure its quality so as to obtain more orders from our major customers.

The Group will continue to promote the use of natural gas in the manufacturing and service industries for the purposes of gas cutting, heat treatment processes, powering of natural gas tractors and electrical power generation in the marine and offshore industries. The Group had secured a contract with one major industrial aviation customer for the supply of natural gas over a period of up to 5 years and one major shipyard customer in the construction of CNG cylinders storage skids and pressure regulating system skids for the gas-cutting activities.

We will continue to improve on our business strategies to generate new sources of revenue and earnings for the Group, thereby enhancing shareholders’ value in the long run.

corporate goverNaNce

The Group remains committed to maintaining our regime of high standards of corporate governance. We pledge to provide timely and accurate information through announcements and investor relations activities for the benefits of all stakeholders.

In addition, the Board takes independent professional advice as and when necessary to enable it to discharge its

duty and responsibilities effectively. The cost of such professional advice will be borne by the Company.

REMUNERATION MATTERS

Principle 7 Procedures for Developing Remuneration Policies

Principle 8 Level and Mix of Remuneration

Principle 9 Disclosure on Remuneration

The Remuneration Committee (“RC”) comprises the following members:

Dr. Wang Kai Yuen (Chairman)

Mr. Teo Kio Choon @ Chang Chiaw Choon

Mr. Chue Wai Tat

The principal responsibilities of the RC are:

to review and recommend to the Board an appropriate and competitive framework of remuneration for the

Board and key executives of the Group to attract, retain and motivate employees of the required caliber to

manage the Company successfully;

to determine and recommend to the Board specific remuneration packages for each Executive Director,

taking into account factors including remuneration packages of Executive Directors in comparable industries

as well as the performance of the Company and that of the Executive Directors;

to review Management’s proposal of the fees for Independent Non-Executive Directors; and

to ensure that the remuneration policies and systems of the Group supports the Group’s objectives and

strategies.

The RC has adopted written terms of reference.

The remuneration package adopted for the Executive Directors is as per the service contract entered into

between the respective Executive Director and the Company. The NC, together with the RC, decides on the

specific remuneration package for an Executive Director upon recruitment. Thereafter, the RC reviews subsequent

increments, bonuses and allowances where these payments are discretionary. No Director or member of the RC is

involved in deciding his or her own remuneration. The RC reviews what compensation commitments the executive

directors’ service contracts would entail in event of early termination and aims to be fair and avoid rewarding

inadequate performance. The service contract may be terminated by either the Company or Executive Directors

giving to the other at least 6 months prior written notice. The RC is of the view that the Directors’ service contracts

are not excessively long or with onerous removal clauses.

Independent Non-Executive Directors do not enter into any Service Contracts with the Company. Save for the

receipt of directors’ fees and participation in the Company’s Employees Share Option Scheme, Independent Non-

Executive Directors do not receive any remuneration from the Company.

Directors’ fees are set in accordance with a remuneration framework comprising basic fees, attendance fees and

additional fees for serving on any of the Board Committees. Directors’ fees are approved by the shareholders of the

Company as a lump sum payment at the Annual General Meeting of the Company.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board recognizes its responsibility for the Group’s system of internal controls and the need to review its

adequacy and integrity regularly in order to safeguard the Group’s assets and therefore shareholders’ investments in

the Group.

The Company’s senior management has made regular visits to the operating units within the Group. A management

structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility that promotes effective internal control is in place.

To further strengthen the internal control system, the Management will consider the establishment of an independent

internal audit function either on an in-house or outsourced basis.

COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS

Principle 14 Communication with Shareholders

Principle 15 Greater Shareholder Participation

In line with the continuous disclosure obligations of the Company and pursuant to the Listing Manual of the SGX-

ST and the Companies Act, Chapter 50, shareholders shall be informed of all major developments that impact the

Group, in a timely manner.

The Company does not practice selective disclosure. All material and price sensitive information as well as

information on the Company’s new initiatives are publicly released via SGXNET. In addition, the Company also

responds to enquiries from shareholders, investors, analysts, fund managers and the press. All shareholders of

the Company receive a copy of the Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) annually. The

Notice of the AGM is also advertised in a daily newspaper and made available on the SGX-ST website. At the AGM,

shareholders are given the opportunity to air their views and ask questions regarding the Company and the Group.

The Articles of Association of the Company allows shareholders to appoint one or two proxies to attend and vote in

their stead at the AGM.

Each item of special business included in the Notice of meetings is accompanied, where appropriate, by an

explanation for the proposed resolution. Separate resolutions are proposed for substantially separate issues at

meetings. The Chairmen of the Audit, Remuneration and Nominating Committees are normally available at the AGM

to answer questions relating to the work of these committees. The external auditors are also present to assist the

Directors in addressing any relevant queries from shareholders. The Company Secretary records minutes of every

AGM and the minutes will be made available to the shareholders upon their request.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company does not have a Risk Management Committee. However, the Management reviews the Company’s

business and operational activities regularly to identify areas of significant business risks as well as appropriate

measures to control and mitigate these risks. The Management reviews all significant control policies and procedures

and highlights all significant matters to the Board and the Audit Committee.

DEALINGS IN SECURITIES

The Company has a clear policy on the trading of its shares by directors, executives and employees within the

Group. The Company has adopted its own internal Code of Best Practices on Securities Transactions (“the

Securities Transactions Code”); The Securities Transactions Code provides guidance to the directors and executives

of the Group with regard to dealing in the Company’s shares. It emphasizes that the law on insider trading is

applicable at all times, notwithstanding the window periods for dealing in the shares. The Securities Transactions

Code also enables the Company to monitor such share transactions by requiring employees to report to the

Company whenever they deal in the Company’s shares.

The Group issues circulars to its directors, executives and employees informing them that they must not trade in the

listed securities of the Company one month before the announcement of the Group’s half-yearly and full year results

and ending on the date of the announcement of such results.

We, Lim Kee Liew @ Victor Lim and Lin Xianglong Winchester, being two of the directors of Asian Micro Holdings

Limited, do hereby state that, in the opinion of the directors,

(i) the accompanying balance sheets, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statements of changes

(ii) at the date of this statement, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay

continuing financial support from two major shareholders of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORTFor the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2011

Annual Report 2011 27

To the Members of Asian Micro Holdings Limited

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Asian Micro Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its

subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”) set out on pages 29 to 92, which comprise the balance sheets of the Group

and the Company as at 30 June 2011, the statements of changes in equity of the Group and the Company and the

consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated cash flow statement of the Group for the year

then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance

with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50 (the Act) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards,

and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable

assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are

properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss

accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our

audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical

requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements

are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial

statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of

material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,

the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true

and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose

of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the

appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management,

as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet and statement of changes

in equity of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and Singapore

Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the

Company as at 30 June 2011 and the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group and the changes in

equity of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to Note 2.1 to the financial statements. The Group and the Company incurred a net loss after

taxation of $4,429,060 and $3,723,773, respectively, for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 and as at that

date, the Company’s current and total liabilities exceeded its current and total assets by $2,112,381 and $635,870

respectively. These factors indicate the existence of an uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the

Group and the Company’s ability to continue as going concerns. As discussed more fully in Note 2.1 to the financial

statements, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the

Group and the Company will generate adequate cash flows from operations and continue to receive continuing

financial support from two major shareholders of the Company (one of whom is also a director of the Company).

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 June 2011

Annual Report 2011 37

1. Corporate information

Asian Micro Holdings Limited is a limited liability company incorporated in Singapore and is listed on the

Stock Exchange of Singapore Catalist Sponsor-Supervised regime (“Catalist”).

The registered office and principal place of business of Asian Micro Holdings Limited is located at 1 Tech

Park Crescent, Tuas Tech Park, Singapore 638131.

The principal activity of the Company is that of investment holding.

The principal activities of the subsidiaries are those of natural gas vehicles conversion, tray-recycling services,

manufacturing of clean room grade polythene packaging materials and trading in clean room supplies.

Details of these subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements. There have been no

significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet and statement of changes in

equity of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards

(“FRS”). The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The financial statements

are presented in Singapore Dollars (SGD or $).

2.1 Fundamental accounting concept

The Group and the Company incurred a net loss after taxation of $4,429,060 (2010: $3,081,658) and

$3,723,773 (2010: $4,081,345), respectively for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 and as at that date,

the Company’s current and total liabilities exceeded current and total assets by $2,112,381 (2010: $705,338)

and $635,870 respectively. These factors indicate the existence of an uncertainty which may affect the

validity of the going concern assumption on which the accompanying financial statements are prepared.

Two of the Company’s major shareholders (one of whom is also a director of the Company) have agreed to

provide continuing financial support to the Group and the Company to enable the Group and the Company

to meet their obligations as and when the need arises. In addition, they have given a commitment to (i) not to

recall for payment of salaries due to them as at 30 June 2011 and deferring payment of future salaries, and

(ii) allow the Group to defer payments of rental payable to companies controlled by them until such time as

the Group’s cash flow enables such payment.

The Directors are of the view that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern

basis on the assumption that the Group and the Company will generate adequate cash flows from operations

and continue to receive continuing financial support from the two major shareholders.

If the Group and the Company are unable to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, the

Group and the Company may be unable to discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business and

adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised other than

in the normal course of business and at amounts which could differ from the amounts at which they are

currently recorded in the balance sheets. In addition, the Group and the Company may have to reclassify

non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities. No such adjustments have been made to

these financial statements.

2.2 Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except in the current

financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised standards and Interpretations of FRS (INT FRS)

that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010. Except for the revised FRS 103

and the amendments to FRS27, adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect on

the financial performance or position of the Group. They did however give rise to additional disclosures,

including, in some cases, revisions to accounting policies.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.2 Changes in accounting policies (cont’d)

The principal effects of these changes are as follows:

FRS 103 Business Combinations (revised) and FRS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

(revised)

The revised FRS 103 Business Combinations and FRS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. As of 1 January 2010, the Group

adopted both revised standards at the same time in accordance with their transitional provisions.

FRS 103 Business Combinations (revised)

The revised FRS 103 introduces a number of changes to the accounting for business combinations that will

impact the amount of goodwill recognised, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and

future reported results. Changes in significant accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the revised

FRS 103 include:

– Transaction costs would no longer be capitalised as part of the cost of acquisition but will be

expensed immediately;

– Consideration contingent on future events are recognised at fair value on the acquisition date and any

changes in the amount of consideration to be paid will no longer be adjusted against goodwill but

recognised in profit or loss;

– The Group elects for each acquisition of a business, to measure non-controlling interest at fair value,

or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, and

this impacts the amount of goodwill recognised; and

– When a business is acquired in stages, the previously held equity interests in the acquiree is

remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date with any corresponding gain or loss recognised in

profit or loss, and this impacts the amount of goodwill recognised.

According to its transitional provisions, the revised FRS 103 has been applied prospectively. Assets and

liabilities that arose from business combinations whose acquisition dates are before 1 January 2010 are not

adjusted.

FRS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised)

Changes in significant accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the revised FRS 27 include:

– A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted

for as an equity transaction. Therefore, such a change will have no impact on goodwill, nor will it give

rise to a gain or loss recognised in profit or loss;

– Losses incurred by a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interest even if the losses exceed

the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary’s equity; and

– When control over a subsidiary is lost, any interest retained is measured at fair value with the

corresponding gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

According to its transitional provisions, the revised FRS 27 has been applied prospectively, and does not

impact the Group’s consolidated financial statements in respect of transactions with non-controlling interests,

attribution of losses to non-controlling interests and disposal of subsidiaries before 1 January 2010. The

changes will affect future transactions with non-controlling interests.

2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective

The Group has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been issued but not yet

effective:

Description

Effective for annual

periods beginning

on or after

Revised FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures 1 January 2011

Amendments to INT FRS 114 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement 1 January 2011

INT FRS 115 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate 1 January 2011

Amendments to FRS 107 Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets 1 July 2011

Amendments to FRS 12 Deferred Tax – Recovery of Underlying Assets 1 January 2012

Except for the revised FRS 24, the directors expect that the adoption of the other standards and

interpretations above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial

application. The nature of the impending changes in accounting policy on adoption of the revised FRS 24 is

described below.

Revised FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures

The revised FRS 24 clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships

and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised FRS 24 expands the definition of a related

party and would treat two entities as related to each other whenever a person (or a close member of that

person’s family) or a third party has control or joint control over the entity, or has significant influence over the

entity. The revised standard also introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-

related entities. The Company is currently determining the impact of the changes to the definition of a related

party has on the disclosure of related party transaction. As this is a disclosure standard, it will have no

impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Company when implemented in 2011.

2.4 Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgements

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and

disclosures at the end of each reporting period.

However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a

material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance

sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(i) Depreciation of plant and equipment

The costs of plant and equipment for the manufacturing activities are depreciated on a straight-line

basis over the useful lives of the plant and equipment. Management estimates the useful lives of

the plant and equipment to be within 1 to 10 years. These are common life expectancies applied

in the industry. The carrying amount of the Group’s plant and equipment at 30 June 2011 is stated

in Note 3 to the financial statements. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological

developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets,

therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.4 Significant accounting estimates and judgements (cont’d)

(ii) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at each

reporting date. Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment when there are indicators

that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

When value in use calculations are undertaken, management estimates the expected future cash

flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and chooses a suitable discounted rate in order to

calculate the present value of those cash flows.

(iii) Impairment of loans and receivables

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a

financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group

considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor

and default or significant delay in payments.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are

estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The

carrying amounts of the Group’s loans and receivables at the balance sheet date are disclosed in

Note 7 to the financial statements.

(iv) Income taxes

The Group has exposure to income taxes in a number of jurisdictions. Significant judgement is

involved in determining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions

and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course

of business. The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether

additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the

amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax

provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that

taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management

judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based

upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits. The carrying value of the unrecognised tax

losses at 30 June 2011 was $19,961,000 (2010: $15,909,000).

(v) Employee share options

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair

value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-

based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is

dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the

most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility

and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for

estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 25.

2.4 Significant accounting estimates and judgements (cont’d)

(vi) Impairment of investment in subsidiary and associated companies

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that the

investments in a subsidiary is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of

impairment, the Group considers factors such as the industry/sector performance, operational

and financing cash flow. Management will exercise significant judgement to evaluate the financial

conditions and business prospects of the investments.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are

estimated based on the forecasted performance of the subsidiary company. The carrying amounts

of the Group’s investments in subsidiary and associated companies at the balance sheet date are

disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements.

(vii) Provision for warranty

The Group recognises provision for warranty in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note

2.18. The Group has made assumptions in relation to the expected costs of repair and maintenance.

At 30 June 2011, the provision of $51,797 had been reversed as the warranty period has lapsed

during the year.

2.5 Basis of consolidation

Business combinations from 1 January 2010

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired

and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition

date. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred

and the services are received.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate

classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and

pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host

contracts by the acquiree.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the

acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to

be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with FRS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to

other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured until

it is finally settled within equity.

In business combinations achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are remeasured

to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group elects for each individual business combination, whether non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if

any) is recognised on the acquisition date at fair value, or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share

of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the

amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fair value of the Group’s previously held

equity interest in the acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities

is recorded as goodwill. The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 2.9. In instances where the

latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognised as gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss on

the acquisition date.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.5 Basis of consolidation (cont’d)

Business combinations prior to 1 January 2010

In comparison to the above mentioned requirements, the following differences applied:

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Transaction costs directly

attributable to the acquisition formed part of the acquisition costs. The non-controlling interest (formerly

known as minority interest) was measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Adjustments to those

fair values relating to previously held interests are treated as a revaluation and recognised in equity. Any

additional acquired share of interest did not affect previously recognised goodwill.

When the Group acquired a business, embedded derivatives separated from the host contract by the

acquiree were not reassessed on acquisition unless the business combination resulted in a change in the

terms of the contract that significantly modified the cash flows that otherwise would have been required

under the contract.

Contingent consideration was recognised if, and only if, the Group had a present obligation, the economic

outflow was more likely than not and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent adjustments to the

contingent consideration were recognised as part of goodwill.

2.6 Transactions with non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners

of the Company, and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from equity attributable to owners of the

Company.

Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control

are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and

non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any

difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the

consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.

2.7 Foreign currency

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars, which is also the

Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items

included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

(a) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company

and its subsidiaries and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange

rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated

in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated

using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. 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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.7 Foreign currency (cont’d)

(a) Transactions and balances (cont’d)

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at

the end of the reporting period are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising

on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, which are

recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation

reserve in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss of

the Group on disposal of the foreign operation.

(b) Consolidated financial statements

For consolidation purpose, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into SGD at

the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period and their profit or loss are translated at

the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the

translation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the

component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised

in profit or loss.

In the case of a partial disposal without loss of control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation,

the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences are re-attributed to non-

controlling interest and are not recognised in profit or loss. For partial disposals of associates that are

foreign operations, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to

profit or loss.

The Group has elected to recycle the accumulated exchange differences in the separate component

of other comprehensive income that arises from the direct method of consolidation, which is the

method the Group uses to complete its consolidation.

2.8 Property, plant and equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Such cost includes the cost of

replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the

acquisition of a qualifying property, plant and equipment. The accounting policy for borrowing costs is set

out in Note 2.20. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only

if, 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.

Subsequent to recognition, plant and equipment and furniture and fixtures are measured at cost less

accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Years

Furniture and fittings 5 - 10

Air conditioners 3 - 10

Machinery, equipment and motor vehicles 3 - 10

Office equipment and computers 1 - 10

Communications equipment 2

Renovations and electrical installations 3 - 10

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.8 Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)

Assets under construction included in plant and equipment are not depreciated as these assets are not yet

available for use.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in

circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted

prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits

are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on de-recognition of the asset is included in the

income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

2.9 Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less

accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition

date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies

of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those

units.

The cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and

whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying

amount of the cash-generating unit, including the allocated goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the

cash-generating unit. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying

amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised for

goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that cash-generating

unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount

of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this

circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operation disposed of and the portion of

the cash-generating unit retained. The Group’s goodwill was fully impaired in prior year.

2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If

any such indication exists, or when annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes

an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to

sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash

inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset

or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written

down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to

be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects

current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d)

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously

recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised

impairment loss 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. If that is the case, the carrying amount

of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that

would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss be recognised previously. Such

reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

2.11 Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies

so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less

impairment losses.

2.12 Associates

An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has significant

influence. An associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the

date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associate.

The Group’s investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method,

the investment in associates is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the

Group’s share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill relating to associates is included in the carrying

amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor tested individually for impairment. Any excess of the

Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable asset, liabilities and contingent liabilities over

the cost of the investment is included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of results of the

associate in the period in which the investment is acquired.

The profit or loss reflects the share of the results of operations of the associates. When the Group’s share of

losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognise further

losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an

additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associates. The Group determines at each

balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired.

If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable

amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the profit or loss.

The financial statements of the associate are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Company.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

Upon loss of significant influence over the financial and operation decision in the associate, the Group

measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying

amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the aggregate of the retained

investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

2.13 Affiliated companies

An affiliated company is a company, not being a subsidiary or an associated company, in which one or

more of the directors or shareholders of the Company have a significant equity interest or exercise significant

influence.

2.14 Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial

recognition.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial

assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables

Non-derivatives financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market

are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured

at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised

in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the

amortisation process.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include equity investments, which are neither classified as held for trading

nor designated at fair value through profit or loss.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains

or losses from changes in fair value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income,

except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and interest

calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or

loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a

reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised.

Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less

impairment loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has

expired. On de-recognition 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 has been recognised directly in

other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date,

ie the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are

purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by

regulation or convention in the marketplace concern.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.15 Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial

asset is impaired.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence

of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial

assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment

exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group

of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.

Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be

recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has

been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount

and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective

interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The

amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly

or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are

written off against the carrying value of the financial asset.

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been

incurred, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of

the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related

objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment

loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the

reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets

In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence of impairment include (i)

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor, (ii) information about significant changes with an adverse

effect that have taken place in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer

operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in equity instrument may not be recovered; and (iii)

a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its costs. ‘Significant’ is to be

evaluated against the original cost of the investment and ‘prolonged’ against the period in which the fair value

has been below its original cost.

If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its acquisition

cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss

previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from other comprehensive income and recognised in

profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses in respect of equity instruments are not recognised in profit or

loss; increase in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.16 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank and demand deposits. These also include

bank overdrafts that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

2.17 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing the inventories

to their present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials – purchase costs on a first-in, first-out basis;

Finished goods and work-in-progress – costs of direct materials and labour and a proportion of

manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Where necessary, allowance is provided for damaged, obsolete and slow moving items to adjust the carrying

value of inventories to the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of

completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2.18 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a

past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle

the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it

is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the

provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using

a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is

used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Provision for warranty

Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised when the product is sold or service provided.

2.19 Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the financial instrument. The Group 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 fair value

through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are

derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.19 Financial liabilities (cont’d)

De-recognition

A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or

expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially

different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or

modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the

difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

2.20 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing cost

consists of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connections with the borrowing of funds.

2.21 Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plan

The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in

which it has operations. In particular, the Singapore companies in the Group make contributions

to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme.

Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in

which the related service is performed.

(ii) Employee share option plans

Employees and directors of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share options as

consideration for services rendered. The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is

measured by reference to the fair value of the options at the date on which the options are granted.

This cost is recognised in profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in the employee share option

reserve, over the vesting period. The cumulative expense recognised at each reporting date until

the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best

estimate of the number of options that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to profit or loss for

a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of

that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.

No expense is recognised for options that do not ultimately vest, except for options where vesting

is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vested irrespective of

whether or not the market condition or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other

performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. In the case where the option does not vest

as the result of a failure to meet a non-vesting condition that is within the control of the Group or

the employee, it is accounted for as a cancellation. In such case, the amount of the compensation

cost that otherwise would be recognised over the remainder of the vesting period is recognised

immediately in profit or loss upon cancellation. The employee share option reserve is transferred to

retained earnings upon expiry of the share option. When the options are exercised, the employee

share option reserve is transferred to share capital if new shares are issued.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.22 Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the

arrangement at inception date: whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific

asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

For arrangements entered into prior to 1 January 2005, the date of inception is deemed to be 1 January

2005 in accordance with the transitional requirements of INT FRS 104.

(i) As lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to

ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased

asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs are also

added to the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and

reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of

the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and

the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of

the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis

over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a

reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

(ii) As lessor

Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset

are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating leases are

added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same

bases as rental income. The accounting policy for rental income is set out in Note 2.23(vi).

2.23 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and

the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or

receivable, excluding sales taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements to determine if it

is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue

arrangements. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of significant risk and rewards of

ownership of the goods to the customer, usually on delivery of goods. Revenue is not recognised

to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due,

associated costs or the possible return of goods.

(ii) Tray recycling services

Revenue on tray recycling services is recognised when the work is completed and the recycled items

are delivered to the customer.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.23 Revenue recognition (cont’d)

(iii) Compressed natural gas supply products and services

Revenue on compressed natural gas supply products is recognised upon the completion of installation

and commissioning of the equipment, and transfer of title and risk of the compressed natural gas to

the customer, usually on delivery. Revenue on services is recognised when services are rendered.

(iv) Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

(v) Management fees

Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

(vi) Rental income

Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the leased terms.

2.24 Taxes

(i) Current tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount

expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to

compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting

period, in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Current income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to

items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations

in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where

appropriate.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the balance

sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial

reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except where the deferred income

tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that

is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit

nor taxable profit or loss.

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 where the deferred income tax liability arises

from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business

combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit

or loss.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

2.24 Taxes (cont’d)

(ii) Deferred tax (cont’d)

The carrying amount of deferred 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 tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred 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 allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred 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 at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or

loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off

current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the

same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(iii) Sales tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:

Where the sales tax incurred in a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the

taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of

the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part

of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

2.25 Segment reporting

For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their products

and services which are independently managed by the respective deputy managers responsible for the

performance of the respective segments under their charge. The deputy managers report directly to the CEO

of the Company who regularly reviews the segment results in order to allocate resources to the segments

and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on each of these segments are shown

in Note 31, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments and the measurement basis of

segment information.

2.26 Share capital and share issue expenses

Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity. Incremental costs

directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted against share capital.

2.27 Contingencies

A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose

existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not wholly

within the control of the Group.

Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised on the balance sheet of the Group.

2.28 Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

(a) The party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,

(i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group;

(ii) has an interest in the Group that gives it significant influence over the Group; or

(iii) has joint control over the Group;

(b) The party is an associate;

(c) The party is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or its parent;

(e) The party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which

significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (c)

or (d).

2.29 Government grants

The Group received cash grant from government relating to the Jobs Credit Scheme. Government grant is

recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses

the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Grants related to income are presented

as a credit in profit or loss as “Other operating income”.

legislation of the respective countries in which the Group operates. No deferred tax is recognised on these

24. Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year, net of tax, attributable to equity holders of

the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted loss per share amounts is calculated by dividing the loss for the year, net of tax, attributable to owners

of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus weighted

average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilution potential shares

into ordinary shares.

The following table reflects the loss and share data used in the computation of basic and diluted loss per

share for the years ended 30 June:

For the year ended 30 June 2011, 33,957,000 (2010: 22,307,000) of share options granted to employees

under the existing employee share option scheme have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss

per share because they are anti-dilutive for the current financial year presented.

(1) Included within these balances are equity-settled options that were not recognised in accordance with FRS102

as these equity-settled options were granted on or before 22 November 2002. These options have not been

subsequently modified and therefore do not need to be accounted for in accordance with FRS102.

(2) The range of exercise prices for options outstanding at the end of the year was $0.03 to $0.18 (2010: $0.03 to

$0.18). The weighted average remaining contractual life for these options approximates 3 months (2010: 1 year).

(3) The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was $0.015.

(4) The exercise price for options outstanding at the end of the year was $0.015. The weighted average remaining

contractual life for these options is 9 years.

Fair value of share options granted

The fair value of share options as at the date of grant is estimated using the Binomial Option Pricing Model,

taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The inputs to the model

used for the years ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 are shown below.

2011 2010

Dividend yield % (year) 0.0 0.0

Expected volatility (%) 121 60

Risk-free interest rate (%) 1.6 5.0

Expected life of option (years) 5.5 1.8

Share price ($) 0.02 0.02

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise

patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is

indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

28. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group and the Company is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial

instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency

risk. The Board of directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks.

The Audit Committee provides independent oversight to the effectiveness of the risk management process.

The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s and Company’s exposure to the above-

mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner to which it

manages and unearned the risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty

default on its obligations. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade

and other receivables. For other financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents), the Group and the

Company minimise credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased

credit risk exposure. The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. Trade and other

receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad

debts is not significant.

Exposure to credit risk

At the balance sheet date, the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented

by:

– the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the balance sheets and

– a nominal amount of $2,540,000 (2010: $2,100,000) relating to a corporate guarantee provided by

the Company to a bank on a subsidiary’s bank facility.

Credit risk concentration profile

The Group determines concentrations of credit risk by monitoring the country and industry sector profile of its

trade receivables on an on-going basis. The credit risk concentration profile of the Group’s trade receivables

at the balance sheet date is as follows:

Group

2011 2010

Singapore 860,961 84 1,361,475 79

1,029,166 100 1,723,990 100

At the balance sheet date, approximately 38% (2010: 28%) of the Group’s trade receivables were due from 3

major customers.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good

payment record with the Group. Cash and bank balances, that are neither past due nor impaired, are placed

with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or companies with high credit ratings and no history

of default.

Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 7 (Trade and

other receivables).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations

due to shortage of funds. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from

mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s and the Company’s objective is

to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.

28. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s financial

instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s and the Company’s

exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their obligations under finance lease.

The Group’s and the Company’s policy is to manage interest cost using fixed rate debts.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has transactional currency exposures arising from sales or purchases that are denominated in

a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily SGD, THB, USD and

Renminbi (RMB). The foreign currencies in which these transactions are denominated are mainly U.S Dollars

(USD). Approximately 37% (2010: 24%) of the Group’s sales are denominated in foreign currencies whilst

54% (2010: 14%) of purchases are denominated in the respective functional currencies of the Group entities.

The Group has trade receivables, trade payables and bills payable to bank denominated in foreign currency.

At the balance sheet date, trade receivables, trade payables and bills payable to bank denominated in

foreign currency balances (mainly in USD) amounted to $433,608, $122,877 and $354,547 (2010: $303,116,

$255,631 and $759,716) respectively.

The Group and the Company also hold cash denominated in foreign currencies for working capital purposes.

At the end of the reporting period, such foreign currency balances are mainly in USD.

The Group is also exposed to currency translation risk arising from its net investments in foreign operations,

including Malaysia, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Thailand. The Group’s net investments in

Malaysia, PRC and Thailand are not hedged.

Sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the USD and RMB, with

all other variables held constant, of the Group’s loss net of tax.

29. Fair value of financial instruments

(a) Fair value of financial instruments that are carried at fair value

Fair value hierarchy

The Group classifies fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance

of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the

asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices),

and

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

(unobservable inputs)

The Group has not classified any financial instrument under Level 1 and Level 2.

(b) Fair value of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value and whose

carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value

Current trade and other receivables (Note 7), due from subsidiaries/related parties (Note 8), trade

and other payables (Note 10), accrued expenses (Note 13), due to directors/related parties (Note

8), loan from directors (Note 8), obligations under finance leases (Note 12) and bills payable to bank

(Note 11).

The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair

values, either due to their short-term nature or that they are floating rate instruments that are re-priced

to market interest rates on or near the balance sheet date.

(c) Fair value of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value and whose

carrying amounts are not reasonable approximation of fair value

Determination of fair value

The fair value has been determined using discounted estimated cash flows. The discount rates

used are the current market incremental lending rates for similar types of leasing arrangements at the

balance sheet date.

30. Capital management

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains adequate funds to

support its business activities and to continue as a going concern.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic

conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may issue new shares. No changes were

made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010.

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt.

31. Segment information (cont’d)

Natural Gas Vehicle (“NGV”) related business

NGV related business segment refers to the trading of NGV related products such as bi-fuel conversion kits

and cylinders and provision of vehicle conversion services. For vehicle conversion services, the segment

provides services for the conversion of petrol vehicles to run on Bi-Fuel system where natural gas can be

used to replace petrol and services for the conversion of heavy duty diesel vehicles using Dual Diesel Fuel

(“DDF”) system to cut down the usage of diesel for diesel vehicles.

Except as indicated above, no operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable

operating segments.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making

decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based

on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below, is measured differently

from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including finance

costs) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions

with third parties.

Geographical information

The Group’s geographical information are based on the location of the Group’s assets. Sales to external

customers disclosed in geographical segments are based on the geographical location of its customers.

Information about major customers

Revenues from one major customer in the tray recycling segment amounted to $1,235,886 (2010:

$1,924,730).

Revenues from one major customer in the NGV related business segment amounted to $2,140,487 (2010:
