2 Asian Micro Holdings Limited
Asian Micro Holdings Limited (listed in the SGX-SESDAQ in September 1999), provides Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) supply related products & services. The Group’s secondary core business is in recycling and precision cleaning of packaging trays and media/disk cassettes used in the hard disk drive and semiconductor industries in Singapore and Thailand. The Group is also serving these industries with clean room grade plastic packaging bags and materials for packaging cleaned finished products.
The Group is supplying CNG skids which are used for storing and transporting CNG to the local industries for gas cutting, heat treatment and power generation. It can also be used for powering of natural gas engines, and off-the-road vehicles. The Group continually explores innovative methods of introducing industrial consumers to the use of natural gas and energy saving methods. Our customers are namely from the oil and gas, marine and offshore, aviation, shipyard and manufacturing industries.
The Group provides natural gas as an alternative fuels which is gaining popularity in the shipyard industries to be used for steel gas cutting, natural gas to the industries for powering up power generator to reduce electricity cost.
The Group also imports, sells or leases specialized vehicles like CNG prime movers, CNG tractors and CNG forklifts which cut down CO2 emission, reduces pollutants PM2.5 and many other hazardous hydrocarbon emissions.
The Group will embark on growth on energy related business and strive to add value to customers, shareholders and its staff.
Corporate profIle
Annual Report 2011 3
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.
appreciatioN
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all shareholders for their continued loyalty and support to the Company despite the continued losses.
We also acknowledge the strong support of our customers, bankers and business associates of our Company in 2011 and we are looking forward to your strong support to help us to achieve a better 2012 and beyond.

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.

Board to provide the shareholders with a detailed analysis, explanation and assessment of the Group’s financial
position and prospects. Management currently provides all members of the Board with appropriately detailed
management accounts of the Group’s performance, position and prospects on a half-yearly and such management

Directors, appropriately qualified to discharge their responsibilities:
Dr. Wang Kai Yuen (Chairman)
Mr. Teo Kio Choon @ Chang Chiaw Choon
Mr. Chue Wai Tat
The AC met twice (2) in FY2011. The principal functions of the AC are:
to recommend to the Board of Directors the External Auditors to be nominated;
to review the scope, audit plans, results and effectiveness of the External Auditors;
to review any related significant findings and recommendations of the External Auditors, together with
Management’s responses thereto;

The AC has met with the external auditors annually, without the presence of the Company’s management.
18 Asian Micro Holdings Limited
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.
Annual Report 2011 19
REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

controls within the Group. The Group has complied with its Best Practices on Securities Transactions.

STATEMENT BY DIRECTORS
26 Asian Micro Holdings Limited
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
in equity and consolidated cash flow statement together with notes thereto are drawn up 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 of
the business, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group and the changes in equity of the Company for
the year ended on that date, and
(ii) at the date of this statement, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay
its debts as and when they fall due, on the assumption that, as stated in Note 2.1 to the financial statements,
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.

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.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those
subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the
provisions of the Act.

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.

2.2 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.

2.4 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.

2.5 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

2.8 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.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 June 2011
Annual Report 2011 45
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.

2.16 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.

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.

2.22 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.

Annual Report 2011 51
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.

17. Premium paid on acquisition of non-controlling interests
The Group adopted the entity concept method to account for additional shares in subsidiary acquired from
a minority shareholder. The acquisition of additional shares from the minority shareholder is treated as a
transaction between owners and the difference between the cost of the additional interests in the subsidiary
acquired and the share of the assets and liabilities acquired from the non-controlling interests is reflected as
premium arising from the acquisition of the non-controlling interests.
Upon disposal of the subsidiary in the financial year, the Group transferred the premium arising from the
acquisition of non-controlling interests in prior year to accumulated losses.

As at 30 June 2011, the Group has unutilised tax losses and unutilised capital allowances of approximately
$19,961,000 (2010: $15,909,000) and $28,000 (2010: $28,000), which are available for offset against future

legislation of the respective countries in which the Group operates. No deferred tax is recognised on these
losses and unutilised capital allowances in accordance with the accounting policy as set out in Note 2.24(ii).

from a subsidiary to a certain other subsidiary under the group relief system, subject to compliance with
relevant rules and procedures and agreement of the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore.
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:
Group

Net loss attributable to owners of the parent used in the computation

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

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

Finance lease obligations repayable
after 1 year but within 5 years 168,393 104,815 157,327 94,074
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.

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:
$10,446,262).
