Preface
About this publication
This publication includes the following components:
XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited (XYZ) Illustrative report on directors report,

statement by directors and financial statements
Appendix A Additional illustrative disclosures
Appendix B Comparison between Singapore Financial Reporting Standards and
International Financial Reporting Standards
The illustrative financial statements are an illustration of the annual financial statements of a
Singapore-incorporated listed company, XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited, prepared in
accordance with:
Singapore Financial Reporting Standards

The Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50.
The illustrative financial statements serve to provide illustration of annual consolidated

financial statements of a group of companies whose activities include manufacturing,
property development and investment holding. The disclosures contained in these illustrative
financial statements are made based on a hypothetical group of entities and certain
assumptions have been made about the applicability of the disclosures required by Singapore
Financial Reporting Standards. In addition to the aforementioned standards and regulation,
certain disclosure requirements of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limiteds
(SGX-ST) Listing Manual have also been included in these illustrative financial statements.
Readers should note that the disclosure requirements of the SGX-ST may be included in other
parts of the entitys annual report instead.
The illustrative financial statements is designed to capture a wide set of circumstances and
transactions, and in enhancing the relevance of XYZ, all minimum disclosure requirements of
FRS are complied with, generally without considering materiality threshold established in
FRS 1. Also, since XYZ is a fictitious entity, assessing materiality is not possible in some
circumstances. XYZ is a helpful enabler for entities preparing financial statements under FRS,
but its illustrative nature must be appreciated.
This 2014 edition includes illustrative disclosures for FRS 110 Consolidated Financial
Statements, FRS 111 Joint Arrangements and FRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other
Entities, amendments to FRS 32 Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, and
amendments to FRS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosure for Non-Financial Assets.
To provide the user with insight of changes in this publication as compared to the 2013
edition, we have sidelined the new illustrations, disclosure requirements and other editorial
changes in this manner.
Important notices
This publication is intended as an illustrative guide rather than a definitive

statement.
While the illustrative financial statements contain most of the usual disclosures
typically found in the financial statements of a group of companies whose activities
include manufacturing, property development and investment holding, the
disclosures and commentaries in this publication are not meant to be exhaustive.
Reference should be made to the relevant standards and regulations for specific
disclosure requirements.
This publication should not be relied upon as a substitute for seeking professional
advice concerning the appropriate accounting treatment for specific individual
situations or ensuring compliance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards
and/or Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50.

Commentary:
FRS 1 uses the terms statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. However, an
entity is not obliged to use these terminologies.
In this illustration, the Group has chosen to use the terms balance sheet and cash flow statement.
If an entity has chosen to use the terms introduced by FRS 1, the entity should make reference to
the new terms used in its financial statements.
In this illustration, the Group has chosen to present its comprehensive income in two linked
statements. If an entity has chosen to present its comprehensive income in one single statement,
the reference to consolidated income statement should be removed.
Presentation of the statement of changes in equity for the Company when consolidated financial
statements are presented is optional. In this illustration, the Company has chosen to present the
statement of changes in equity for the Company together with the consolidated financial
statements and balance sheet of the Company. Accordingly, the statement by directors includes
the directors opinion on whether the statement of changes in equity is drawn up so as to give a
true and fair view of the changes in equity of the Company. This applies to the auditors opinion
expressed in the auditors report as well.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited (the
Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) set out on pages 10 to 195, which comprise the
balance sheets of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2014, the statements of changes in

Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
SSA 700.25
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, Chapter 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.
SSA 700.26
Auditors Responsibility
SSA 700.28
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.
SSA 700.29 and

30
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors 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 entitys preparation of
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 entitys
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.
SSA 700.31
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
SSA 700.33
Opinion
SSA 700.34
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 31 December 2014 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.
SSA 700.35

Commentary:
Complete set of financial statements
FRS 1.10
Under FRS 1, a complete set of financial statements comprises:

(a) A statement of financial position as at the end of the period*
(b) A statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period
(c) A statement of changes in equity for the period
(d) A statement of cash flows for the period*
(e) Notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information
(f) Comparative information in respect of the preceding period**
(g) A statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period when an
entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of
items in its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements***
*
FRS 1 replaces the term balance sheet with statement of financial position, and cash flow
statement with statement of cash flows. However, an entity is not obliged to use these new
titles.
**
An entity shall present, as a minimum, two statements of financial position, two statements of
profits or loss and other comprehensive income, two separate statements of profit or loss (if
presented), two statements of cash flows and two statements of changes in equity, and related
notes. This shall include comparative information for narrative and descriptive information if it
is relevant to understanding the current periods financial statements.
*** In such cases, a complete set of financial statements will include three statements of financial
position.
FRS 1.10
FRS 1.38 and 38A
FRS 1.10 and 39
Presentation of statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and analysis of expenses
An entity can present a single statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, with
profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two sections or as two linked statements.
FRS 1.81A
When an entity present a single statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, with
profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two sections, the sections shall be presented
together, with the profit or loss section presented first followed directly by the other comprehensive
income section. When an entity present the profit or loss section in a separate statement of profit or
loss, the separate statement of profit or loss shall immediately precede the statement of
comprehensive income, which shall begin with profit or loss.
An entity shall present an analysis of expenses using a classification based on either the nature of
expenses or their function within the entity, whichever provides information that is reliable and more
relevant. The main consideration in choosing an appropriate analysis for disclosure purposes should
be the entitys accounting system and management reporting system.
FRS 1.99
In this illustration, the format adopted is two linked statements with analysis of expenses by their
function within the entity. An illustration of a statement of comprehensive income in a single
statement with analysis of expenses by their nature is provided in Appendix A-1 Consolidated
statement of comprehensive income in one statement illustrating the analysis of expenses by
nature. Where the former format is adopted (as in the case of this illustration), the entity shall
disclose additional information on the nature of expenses, including depreciation and amortisation as
well as employee benefits expense in the notes.
FRS 1.104

Commentary (continued):
Reporting of continuing and discontinued operations
The separate reporting of continuing and discontinued operations in the statement of

comprehensive income is required only where there are discontinued operations as defined by FRS
105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
FRS 105.30 and 33
An entity shall re-present the disclosures required for discontinued operations for prior periods
presented in the financial statements so that the disclosures relate to all operations that have been
discontinued by the end of the reporting period for the latest period presented.
FRS 105.34
On disposal of the disposal group, the gain or loss from discontinued operation presented on the
statement of comprehensive income includes the gain or loss on disposal of the disposal group
constituting the discontinued operation.
FRS 105.33.b.iii
Other additional disclosures
Additional line items, heading and subtotals should be presented on the face of the statement of
comprehensive income, when such presentation is relevant to the understanding of the entitys
financial performance.
Commentary on certain line items illustrated in the statement of comprehensive income
FRS 1.85
Interest income and dividend income

Interest income and dividend income exclude interest income and dividends respectively, from
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. As disclosed in Note 2.15(a)(i), XYZ Holdings
(Singapore) Limited has made a policy choice to include interest and dividend income in the net gains
or net losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, instead of recognising them
separately.
FRS 107 AGB5.e
Research and development

Research and development costs represent the aggregate amount of research and development
expenditure recognised as an expense during the period, including amortisation of deferred
development cost.
FRS 38.126 and

127
Share of results of associates and joint ventures

Share of results of associates and share of results of joint ventures are presented net of tax and
non-controlling interests in the associates.
FRS 1.IG6
Terminology used
Although FRS 1 uses the terms other comprehensive income, profit or loss and total
comprehensive income, an entity may use other terms to describe the totals as long as the meaning
is clear. For example, an entity may use the term net income to describe profit or loss.
FRS 1.8

Tax effects related to each component of other comprehensive income
FRS 1.91
An entity may present components of other comprehensive income either:

(a) net of related tax effects, as illustrated in the statement of comprehensive income, or
(b) before related tax effects with one amount shown for the aggregate amount of income tax
relating to those components.
Extract of statement of comprehensive income illustrating other comprehensive income presented
at gross before related tax effects:

Either way, the amount of income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income
must be disclosed either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the notes. In this
illustration, the entity has chosen to disclose the related tax effects in the Note 10 Income tax
expense.
In this illustration, the share of other comprehensive income of associates relates to property
revaluation attributable to owners of the associates, which is an item that will not be reclassified to
profit or loss. If an entity has share of other comprehensive income of associates which relates to
items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss, the item shall be presented under the
group of items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.

Presentation of consolidated cash flow statement using direct method
In this illustration, the consolidated cash flow statement is presented using indirect method whereby
profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, deferrals, accruals and investing or
financing cash flows. FRS 7.18 allows entities to report cash flows from operating activities using
either the direct method or indirect method. The cash flow from operating activities prepared using
the direct method is illustrated below:

Commentary:
Going concern uncertainty
When preparing financial statements, management shall make an assessment of an

entitys ability to continue as a going concern. Where the effect of the judgement made in
relation to the entitys ability to continue as a going concern has significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements, the judgement made should be disclosed.
FRS 1.25
FRS 1.122
Financial statements shall be prepared on a going concern basis unless management

either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but
to do so. When management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entitys ability to
continue as a going concern, those uncertainties shall be disclosed.
FRS 1.25
Illustrative disclosure where the ability of the company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the holding company undertaking to provide continuing financial support to
the company to enable it to continue as a going concern:
The Company incurred a net loss of $XXX (2013: $XXX) during the financial year
ended 31 December 2014 and as at that date, the Companys current and total
liabilities exceeded its current and total assets by $XXX (2013: $XXX) and $XXX
(2013: $XXX) respectively. These factors indicate the existence of a material
uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue
as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
depends on the holding company undertaking to provide continuing financial support
to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.
If the Company is unable to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future, the Company may be unable to discharge its 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 significantly from the amounts at which they are currently recorded
in the balance sheet. In addition, 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.
Functional and presentation currency
When the presentation currency is different from the functional currency of the Company,
that fact shall be stated, together with disclosure of the functional currency and the
reasons for using a different presentation currency.

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 which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1
January 2014. The adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial
performance or position of the Group and the Company except as discussed below.
FRS 111 Joint Arrangements and Revised FRS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures
The adoption of FRS 111 has resulted in the Group having to revise its method of
accounting for its joint arrangement. Investment in jointly controlled entity had been
previously consolidated proportionately. Under FRS 111, this arrangement is classified
as joint venture and is to be equity accounted.
The change in accounting policy has been applied in accordance with the transitional
provision in FRS 111. The initial investment was measured as the aggregate of the
carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities that the Group previously proportionately
consolidated. The effects of adoption of FRS 111 and FRS 28 are as follows:

FRSs and INT FRSs does not have any impact on the financial statements.
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 which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1
January 2014. The adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial
statements.
FRSs effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2014

The following FRS and INT FRS are effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1
January 2014:
FRS 27 Separate Financial Statements

FRS 8.28.f requires disclosure of effect of application of a new standard or amendment

for the current period and each prior period presented to the extent practicable. FRS
110.C2A and FRS 111.C1B partly relaxes this requirement. It is stated that an entity may
only present the quantitative information required under FRS 8.28.f for the annual period
immediately preceding the first annual period for which FRS 110 and FRS 111 is applied.
An entity may also present this information for the current period or for the earlier
comparative periods, but it is not required to do so. In view of this exemption, an entity is
not required to disclose the impact of transition to FRS 110 and FRS 111 for the current
period or for an earlier period than the immediately preceding period. The Group has
opted to provide the quantitative disclosures of the effect of the application of FRS 110
and FRS 111 only for the immediately preceding period. i.e., period ended 31 December
2013 and not for the current period.
FRS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors requires the
disclosure of the amount of the adjustment for the current period and each prior period
(to the extent practicable) upon initial application of a Standard or an Interpretation. In
this illustration, it is assumed that the adoption of the new and revised standards does not
have any impact on the financial statements.
Following are illustrative disclosure of changes in accounting policies on adoption of the
new and revised standards.
FRS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements
The following is an illustrative disclosure of the impending changes in accounting policy on
adoption of FRS 110 for de facto control.
Upon application of FRS 110, the Group concluded that it has control over ABC Ltd
which was previously accounted for as an associated company.
The Group acquired 47% of ownership interest in ABC Ltd in 2005 and there was no
change in the Groups ownership in ABC Ltd since then. The remaining 53% of the
ordinary shares of ABC Ltd are owned by thousands of shareholders, which none of
the shareholders hold more than 1 per cent of the voting rights individually.
In assessing whether the Group has control over an investee where the Group holds
less than a majority of voting rights, the Group considers factors such as the size of
the Groups holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of
other vote holders as well as any additional facts and circumstances that indicate the
Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee, including the voting patterns at the investees previous shareholders
meetings.
The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively in accordance with
the transitional positions in FRS 110. The assets, liabilities and non-controlling
interests in ABC Ltd are measured as if ABC Ltd had been consolidated from the date
when the Group obtained control in 2005, by applying the requirements of FRS 103
(issued 2004). The effects of adoption of the financial statements are as follows :

In this illustration, the Group does not have potential voting rights in its investee.
The following is an illustrative change in accounting policy when the Group has currently
exercisable potential voting rights in its investee which are not substantive:
(b) Potential voting rights
Upon application of FRS 110, the Group concluded that it does not have control over
JJJ Ltd which was previously accounted for as a subsidiary.
The Group holds 33.33% of voting rights in JJJ Ltd. In addition to its equity
instruments, the Group also holds debt instruments that are convertible into ordinary
shares of JJJ Ltd at any time for a fixed price. If the debt were converted, the Group
would hold 60% of the voting rights of the investee.
In reassessing whether the Group have control over an investee, the Group considers
the voting rights and potential voting rights that it holds, as well as the rights and
potential voting rights held by others. Potential voting rights are only considered if
they are substantive.
Upon adoption of FRS 110, the Group concluded that it does not have power over JJJ
Ltd as the potential voting rights are not substantive as the conversion option is
deeply out of the money. Accordingly, the Group accounts for JJJ Ltd as an associate
using the equity method. The change in accounting policy has been applied
retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions in FRS 110. The retained
interest in JJJ Ltd is measured at the amount at which it would have been measured if
the requirements of FRS 110 had been effective when the Group became involved with
JJJ Ltd. The effects of the adoption on the financial statements are as follows:

Amendments to FRS 32 Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The amendments to FRS 32 clarify that rights of set-off must not only be legally
enforceable in the normal course of business, but must also not contingent on a future
event and must be enforceable in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of all the
counterparties to the contract. The Group currently offset certain balances with the same
counterparty as the Group has legal rights to set off the amounts and intends to settle on a
net basis.
These balances do not meet the offsetting criteria as the local bankruptcy law in the
counterparty jurisdiction overrides netting contracts. Accordingly, trade and other
receivables increased by $XXX and trade and other payables increased by $XXX
respectively.
In this illustration, the Group measures the assets and liabilities and non-controlling
interests in the investee, ABC Ltd as if that investee had been consolidated from the date
when the Group obtained control of that investee. If measuring the investees assets,
liabilities and non-controlling interests retrospectively is impracticable, the deemed
acquisition date shall be the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective
application is practicable, which may be the current period.
FRS 110.C4.c.i
FRS 110 allows an entity to apply either FRS 103 (2008) or FRS 103 (issued in 2004). In
this illustration, the Group applied the requirements of FRS 103 (issued 2004).
Alternatively, the Group may apply FRS 103 (issued 2008).
FRS 110.C4B
In this illustration, the Group measures the retained interest in the investee, JJJ Ltd at the
amount at which it would have been measured if the requirements of FRS 110 had been
effective when the Group became involved with that investee. If measurement of the
retained interest is impracticable, the Group shall recognise any difference between the
previously recognised amount of the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest and the
carrying amount of the Groups involvement with the investee as an adjustment to equity
for that period. In addition, the Group shall provide comparative information and
disclosures of the circumstance that led to the condition that makes retrospective
application impracticable and from when the change in accounting policy has been applied.

(b) Amendments to FRS 113 Fair Value Measurement
1 July 2014
The directors expect that the adoption of the standards above will have no material
impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application.
Commentary:
FRS 8 requires an entity to:

(a) disclose those standards or interpretations that have been issued which are not yet
effective; and
(b) provide known or reasonably estimable information to assess the possible impact that
the application of such FRSs will have on the entitys financial statements in the
period of initial application.
Therefore, the Group has listed those standards and interpretations that are issued but
not yet effective and relevant to the Group. For example, IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral
Accounts is not relevant and has been excluded.
If a Company does not have any share based payment, Amendments to FRS 102 Share
Based Payments is not relevant and can be excluded from the list
FRS 8.30, 31

2.
2.3

Standards issued but not yet effective (continued)
Commentary:
The following are IFRSs that have been issued by International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) but have not been adopted as FRS in Singapore:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1

January 2018
IFRS 15 Revenue Recognition, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1

January 2017
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets,
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 41 Agriculture,

effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016
Amendments to FRS 27 Separate Financial Statements, effective for annual periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2016
If any of the above IFRSs are adopted as FRSs before the financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2014 are authorised for issue, Note 2.3 should be updated to:
(a) include the new standards; and
(b) provide known or reasonably estimable information to assess the possible impact that
the application of such FRSs will have on the entitys financial statements in the
period of initial application.

Notes to users:
The summary of significant accounting policies in this illustration are based on assumed
circumstances of XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited and may not be relevant to all entities. Each
entity should customise the significant accounting policies disclosed according to the specific
circumstances relevant to the entity.
2.4
Basis of consolidation and business combinations

a)
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the
Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. The
financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as
the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions
and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses
resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on
which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date
that such control ceases.

B88
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if

that results in a deficit balance.
FRS 110.B94
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is

accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a
subsidiary, it:
FRS 110.23
FRS 110.B98
de-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the

subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost;
de-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
de-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss;
re-classifies the Groups share of components previously recognised in

other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as
appropriate.
Business combinations and goodwill

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.
FRS 103.4
FRS 103.10 and
18
FRS 103.53

2.
2.4 Basis of consolidation and business combinations (continued)

b)
Business combinations and goodwill (continued)

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 profit or loss.
The Group elects for each individual business combination, whether noncontrolling interest in the acquiree (if any), that are present ownership
interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the
event of liquidation, is recognised on the acquisition date at fair value, or at
the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable
net assets. Other components of non-controlling interests are measured at
their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required
by another FRS.
FRS 103.39, 40
and 58
FRS 103.19
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 Groups previously held equity interest in the
acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets
and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The accounting policy for goodwill is set
out in Note 2.9(a). 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.
FRS 103.32
Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is

measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
FRS 103.B63.a
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business

combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to the Groups cashgenerating 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 units to which goodwill have been allocated is tested for
impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the cashgenerating unit may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by
assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (or group of
cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates.

Basis of consolidation and business combinations (continued)
Commentary:
Investment entities
FRS 110 provides exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the
definition of an investment entity. The exception to consolidation requires investment

entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with
FRS 39 Financial Instrument: Recognition and Measurement.
Please refer to commentary no.9 in Note 17 Investment in subsidiaries for disclosure
requirements.
Reporting date of subsidiary
The financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements shall be prepared as of the same reporting date. When
the end of the reporting period of the parent is different from that of a subsidiary, the
subsidiary prepares, for consolidation purposes, additional financial statements as of the
same date as the financial statements of the parent, unless it is impracticable to do so.
Where it is impracticable to do so, the parent may use the financial statements of a
subsidiary prepared as of a reporting date different from that of the parent, provided
adjustments are made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur
between that date and the date of the parents financial statements, and the difference
between the reporting dates of the subsidiary and parent is no more than three months. In
addition, the length of the reporting periods and any difference in the reporting dates shall
be the same from period to period.
FRS 110.B93
When the financial statements of a subsidiary used in the preparation of consolidated

financial statements are as of a date or for a period that is different from that of the
consolidated financial statements, an entity shall disclose the date of the end of the
reporting period of the financial statements of that subsidiary and the reason for using a
different date or period.
FRS 112.11
Business combinations involving entities under common control
FRS 110.B92
In this illustration, there is no business combination involving entities under common

control. Where a business combination involves entities or businesses under common
control, it is outside the scope of FRS 103 and may be accounted for using the pooling of
interest method or the acquisition method (when the transaction has substance from the
perspective of the reporting entity).
Illustrative accounting policy where the pooling of interest method is applied:
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by
applying the pooling of interest method which involves the following:
The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the controlling
holding company.
No adjustments are made to reflect the fair values on the date of combination,
or recognise any new assets or liabilities.
No additional goodwill is recognised as a result of the combination.
Any difference between the consideration paid/transferred and the equity
acquired is reflected within the equity as merger reserve.
The statement of comprehensive income reflects the results of the combining
entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place.
Comparatives are restated to reflect the combination as if it had occurred from the
beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements or from the date
the entities had come under common control, if later.

2.4

Basis of consolidation and business combinations (continued)
Business combinations achieved in stages
In this illustration, there is no business combinations achieved in stages.

Illustrative accounting policy where there is business combinations achieved in stages
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.
FRS 103.42
Contingent liabilities recognised in a business combination
In this illustration, there is no contingent liabilities recognised in a business combination.

Illustrative accounting policy where there is contingent liabilities assumed in the business
combination:
A contingent liability recognised in a business combination is initially measured at its
fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of:
The amount that would be recognised in accordance with the accounting policy for
provisions set out in Note 2.21; or
The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation

recognised in accordance with guidance for revenue recognition.
FRS 103.56
If there is no contingent consideration recognised in a business combination, the

accounting policy is not required.
Measurement of non-controlling interest
FRS 103 provides acquirers with the option of measuring non-controlling interest arising
in a business combination that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to
a proportionate share of net assets of the subsidiary in the event of liquidation at either:
-
Fair value; or
The non-controlling interests proportionate interest in the acquirees identifiable net

assets.
FRS 103.19
The option is elected for each individual business combination and does not constitute an
accounting policy choice for similar transactions. Selecting the option will require
management to carefully consider their future intentions regarding transactions with noncontrolling interest, since the two options, combined with the revisions to accounting for
changes in ownership interest of a subsidiary will potentially result in significantly
different amounts of goodwill and equity.
Goodwill
FRS 36 Impairment of Assets permits annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives to be performed at any time during the year provided it
is at the same time each year. Different goodwill and intangible assets may be tested at
different times.
In this illustration, the Group does not have goodwill which forms cash generating unit in
which part of the operation within that cash generating unit is disposed of.
FRS 36.96 and

10
Illustrative accounting policy for goodwill which forms cash generating unit in which part
of the operation within that cash generating unit is disposed of:
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 operations disposed of and the
portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
FRS 36.86

2.
2.5

Transactions with non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly
or indirectly, to owners of the Company.
Changes in the Companys 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 Company.

using that functional currency.
a)

FRS 1.51.d
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 measured.
FRS 21.21
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.
FRS 21.28
FRS 21.23
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.

FRS 21.48
Commentary:
Partial disposal of foreign operation
In this illustration, the Group does not have partial disposal of foreign operation.
Illustrative accounting policy for foreign currency for partial disposal of foreign
operation.
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.
FRS 21.48C

Foreign currency (continued)
Partial disposal of foreign operation (continued)
For partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that are

foreign operations, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange
differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
Net investment in foreign operations
In this illustration, the Group does not have exchange differences arising from
monetary items that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign
operation.
Illustrative accounting policy for exchange differences arising from monetary
items that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operation.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items that for part of the Groups
net investment in foreign operations 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.
2.7
FRS 21.32 and 48

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to
recognition, property, plant and equipment other than freehold land and buildings are
measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses.
Freehold land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation
on buildings and impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation.
Valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount
does not differ materially from the fair value of the freehold land and buildings at the
end of the reporting period.
Any revaluation surplus is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in equity under the asset revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a
revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which
case the increase is recognised in profit or loss. A revaluation deficit is recognised in
profit or loss, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset
carried in the asset revaluation reserve.
Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross
carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of
the asset. The revaluation surplus included in the asset revaluation reserve in
respect of an asset is transferred directly to retained earnings on retirement or
disposal of the asset.

Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Assets under construction included in plant and equipment are not depreciated as
these assets are not yet available for 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 derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is
derecognised.

Commentary:
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
2.8
When an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued, any accumulated depreciation
at the date of the revaluation may instead be restated proportionately with the change in
the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after
revaluation equals its revalued amount. This method is often used when an asset is
revalued by means of applying an index to its depreciated replacement cost.
Alternatively, the entity may adopt a policy to make an annual transfer of the revaluation
surplus to retained earnings as the asset is used. In such a case, the amount of the
surplus transferred would be the difference between depreciation based on the revalued
carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the assets original cost.

Investment properties are properties that are either owned by the Group or leased
under a finance lease that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both,
rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for
administrative purposes, or in the ordinary course of business. Investment properties
comprise completed investment properties and properties that are being constructed
or developed for future use as investment properties. Properties held under operating
leases are classified as investment properties when the definition of an investment
property is met.
FRS 40.5
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs.
FRS 40.20
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are
included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
FRS 40.33
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or
when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or
disposal of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the year of
retirement or disposal.

Investment properties (continued)
Commentary:
Judgement is needed to determine whether a property qualifies as investment property.

When classification is difficult, the entity should disclose the criteria developed by the
entity so that it can exercise that judgement consistently in accordance with the definition
of investment property.
FRS 40.14 and 75.c
Alternatively, the entity may adopt the cost model which is to measure investment
properties at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. In
these circumstances, disclosure about the cost basis and depreciation rates would be
required. This option is not available if the entity accounts for property interest held under
an operating lease as investment property.
FRS 40.30 and 56
In addition, for any investment properties recorded at cost, FRS 40 requires disclosure
about the fair value, including disclosures about the methods and significant assumptions
used to determine the fair value. Therefore, companies would still need to determine the
fair value of the investment properties. In the exceptional cases when an entity cannot
measure the fair value of investment properties reliably, it shall disclose:
FRS 40.79.e
FRS 40.34
(a) a description of the investment properties;

(b) an explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably; and
(c) if possible, the range of estimate within which fair value is highly likely to lie.
If an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property that will be carried at fair

value, the entity shall treat any difference at that date between the carrying amount of
the property in accordance with FRS 16 and its fair value in the same way as a revaluation
in accordance with FRS 16.
FRS 40.61

2.9

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. Following initial
acquisition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and
any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets,
excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is
reflected in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
FRS 38.24
FRS 38.33
FRS 38.74
FRS 38.88
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over the estimated useful lives
and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset
may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at
least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected
pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted
for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as
changes in accounting estimates.
FRS 38.97 and

118.b
FRS 36.9
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use are tested for
impairment annually , or more frequently if the events and circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating
unit level. Such intangible assets are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible
asset with an indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful
life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from
indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
FRS 36.10.a
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and
are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

a)
FRS 36.9
FRS 38.107

Brands
The brands were acquired in business combinations. The useful lives of the
brands are estimated to be indefinite because based on the current market
share of the brands, management believes there is no foreseeable limit to the
period over which the brands are expected to generate net cash inflows for the
Group.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Deferred development costs arising
from development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an
intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of
completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its
intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will
generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete
and the ability to measure reliably the expenditures during the development.

Research and development costs (continued)

Following initial recognition of the deferred development costs as an intangible
asset, it is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Amortisation of the intangible asset begins when
development is complete and the asset is available for use. Deferred
development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised over the period
of expected sales from the related project (ranging from 4 to 8 years) on a
straight line basis.

Alternatively, the entity may adopt the revaluation model which is to measure intangible
assets at fair value less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
This option is only available if the fair value can be determined by reference to an active
market.
Please refer to commentary no.6 of Note 2.4(b) Business combinations and goodwill.

Land use rights

Land use rights are initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, land use
rights are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation. The land use rights are
amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term of 50 years.
Commentary:
Land use rights
Long-term land-use rights are leases under the definition of FRS 17. In this illustration, it
is assumed that the lease does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership of the land. Therefore, the lease is an operating lease and the
payments made on acquiring the land-use right represent prepaid lease payments.

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 indication exists, or when an annual impairment testing for an
asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount.
FRS 36.9
An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair

value less costs of disposal 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 or groups of 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.
FRS 36.18 and 22
Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss, except for
assets that are previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to other
comprehensive income. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in other
comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
FRS 36.60
A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in
the estimates used to determine the assets 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 been
recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is
measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation
increase.

Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. The Group controls an
investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with
the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee.
In the Companys separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are
accounted for at cost less impairment losses.
FRS 110.6
FRS 27.17.c
Commentary:
Subsidiaries
Alternatively, the entity may choose to account for its investment in subsidiary in
accordance with FRS 39. The same accounting must be applied for all investments in
subsidiaries. When an entity accounts for a subsidiary at fair value in accordance with FRS
39, this treatment continues when the subsidiary is subsequently classified as held for
sale.

Joint arrangements
A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties have
joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the
unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
A joint arrangement is classified either as joint operation or joint venture, based on the
rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement.
To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the assets and
obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint
operation. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the
net assets of the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint venture.

(a) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
(b) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
(c) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint
operation;
(d) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
(e) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its
interest in a joint operation in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to
the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
FRS 111.21
b) Joint ventures
The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts
for the investment using the equity method. The accounting policy for investment
in joint venture is set out in Note 2.14.
FRS 112.21.b.i
Commentary:
Sales and contributions of assets to a joint operation
In this illustration, sales and contributions of assets to a joint operation are not significant.
Illustrative accounting policy for sales and contributions of assets to a joint operation
When the Group enters into transaction involving a sale or contribution of assets with
a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, the Group recognises gains or losses
resulting from such a transaction only to the extent of the interests held by the other
parties of the joint operation.
FRS 111.B34
Purchases of assets from a joint operation
In this illustration, purchases of assets from a joint operation are not significant.
Illustrative accounting policy for purchases of assets from a joint operation
When the Group enters into a transaction involving purchase of assets with a joint
operation in which it is a joint operator, the Group does not recognise its share of the
gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. When such transactions
provide evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of the assets to be
purchased or of an impairment loss of those assets, the Group recognises it share of
those losses.

Joint ventures and associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has the power to participate in the
financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or
joint control of those policies.
FRS 28.3
The Group account for its investments in associates and joint ventures using the equity
method from the date on which it becomes an associate or joint venture.
FRS 28.16
FRS 28.32
On acquisition of the investment, any excess of the cost of the investment over the
Groups share of the net fair value of the investees identifiable assets and liabilities is
accounted as goodwill and is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any
excess of the Groups share of the net fair value of the investees identifiable assets
and liabilities over the cost of the investment is included as income in the
determination of the entitys share of the associate or joint ventures profit or loss in
the period in which the investment is acquired.
FRS 28.32
Under the equity method, the investment in associates or joint ventures are carried in
the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Groups share of net
assets of the associates or joint ventures. The profit or loss reflects the share of results
of the operations of the associates or joint ventures. Distributions received from joint
ventures or associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Where there has
been a change recognised in other comprehensive income by the associates or joint
venture, the Group recognises its share of such changes in other comprehensive
income. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group
and associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the
associates or joint ventures.
FRS 28.10
When the Groups share of losses in an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds its
interest in the associate or joint venture, the Group does not recognise further
losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate
or joint venture.
FRS 28.38
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to
recognise an additional impairment loss on the Groups investment in associate or joint
ventures. The Group determines at the end of each reporting period whether there is
any objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired.
If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference
between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value
and recognises the amount in profit or loss.
FRS 28.40
The financial statements of the associates and joint ventures are prepared as the same
reporting date as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the
accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

Joint ventures and associates (continued)
Commentary:
Loss of significant influence or joint control
In this illustration, loss of significant influence over associate or joint control over joint
venture is not significant to the Group.
Illustrative accounting policy upon loss of significant influence over associate or joint
control over joint venture:
Upon loss of significant influence or joint control over the associate or joint venture,
the Group measures the retained interest at fair value. Any difference between the fair
value of the aggregate of the retained interest and proceeds from disposal and the
carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is
recognised in profit or loss.
FRS 28.22
Changes in ownership interest
In this illustration, changes in ownership interest without loss of significant influence or

joint control is not significant to the Group.
Illustrative accounting policy upon changes in ownership interest:
If the Groups ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced, but the
Group continues to apply the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the
proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognised in other
comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or
loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related
assets or liabilities.
FRS 28.25
Joint ventures and associates
The interest in an associate or a joint venture is the carrying amount of the investment in
the associate or joint venture under the equity method together with any long-term
interests that, in substance, form part of the investors net investment in the associate or
joint venture. For example, an item for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to
occur in the foreseeable future is, in substance, an extension of the entitys investment in
that associate or joint venture. Such items may include preference shares and long-term
receivables or loans but do not include trade receivables, trade payables or any long-term
receivables for which adequate collateral exists, such as secured loans.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared as of the same
reporting date as the Company unless it is impracticable to do so. When the financial
statements of an associate or joint venture used in applying the equity method are
prepared as of a different reporting date from that of the Company, adjustments are made
for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between that date and the
reporting date of the Company. In any case, the difference between the end of the
reporting period of the associate or joint venture and that of the investor shall be no more
than three months. The length of the reporting periods and any difference between the
ends of the reporting periods shall be the same from period to period.
When the financial statements of an associate or joint venture used in applying the equity
method are as of a reporting date or for a period that is different from that of the
Company, the reporting date of the financial statements of the associate or joint venture
and the reason for using a different reporting date or different period shall be disclosed.

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.
FRS 39.14
FRS 39.43
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their
classification as follows:
i)
Loans and receivables

Non-derivative 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, and through the
amortisation process.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include equity and debt securities.
Equity investments classified as available-for-sale are those, which are
neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through
profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are
intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be
sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the
market conditions.
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 assets 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 de-recognised.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably
measured are measured at cost less impairment loss.

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.
FRS 39.14
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.
FRS 39.43
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value
through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss
when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
FRS 39.56
FRS 107.B5.e
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.

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred on
the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.
The policy for determining the timing of transfers between levels of the fair include the
following:
(a) The date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer
(b) the beginning of the reporting period

Regular way purchases and sales
In this illustration, the Group does not have regular way purchases and sales of financial
assets.
Illustrative accounting policy for regular way purchase and sale of a financial asset:
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised
on the trade date i.e. 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 concerned.

Alternatively, regular way purchases and sales can be accounted for on settlement dates.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
In this illustration, financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss which are classified as held for trading are not significant to the Group.
Illustrative accounting policies for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss which
are classified as held for trading (if significant):
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for
trading. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the
purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. This category includes derivative
financial instruments entered into by the Group. Derivatives, including separated
embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading.
FRS 39.9
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the
financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net losses on financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss include exchange differences, interest and
dividend income.
FRS 39.46
FRS 39.55.a

Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and
recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related
to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value
with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are
measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that
significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity
are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability
to hold the investment to maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity
investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less

fair value through profit or loss:
(a)
(b)
(c)
FRS 107.AGB5.a
The nature of the financial assets or financial liabilities the entity has designated as
at fair value through profit or loss;
The criteria for so designating such financial assets or financial liabilities on initial
recognition; and
How the entity has satisfied the conditions in paragraph 9, 11A or 12 of FRS 39 for
such designation. For instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss
in accordance with FRS 39.9.b.i, that disclosure includes a narrative description of
the circumstances underlying the measurement or recognition inconsistency that
would otherwise arise. For instruments designated as at fair value through profit or
loss in accordance with paragraph FRS 39.9.b.ii, that disclosure includes a narrative
description of how designation at fair value through profit or loss is consistent with
the entitys documented risk management or investment strategy.
Net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

De-recognition of financial assets
In this illustration, there is no transfer of financial asset.

Illustrative accounting policy when the entity transfers its financial asset:
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of
similar financial asset) is de-recognised when:
(a)
The Group transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the
financial asset; or
FRS 39.18.a
(b)
The Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial
asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more
recipients in a past-through arrangement; or
FRS 39.18.b and

19
(c)
The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and
either has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
FRS 39.20
Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor
transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Groups
continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a
guarantee over the transferred asset, is measured at the lower of the original carrying
amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could
be required to repay.
Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option on
the transferred asset, the extent of the Groups continuing involvement is the amount
of the transferred asset that the group may repurchase, except that in the case of a
written put option on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Groups
continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset
and the option exercise price.
If the Group have transfers of financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety
or transfers of financial assets that are derecognised in their entirety but retains
continuing involvement, please refer to disclosure requirements of paragraphs 42A to
42H and AGB 29 to AGB 39 of FRS 107.

FRS 107.21
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that
a financial asset is impaired.
FRS 39.58
a)
Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses 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 financial assets
carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets
original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the
discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective
interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of
an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired
financial asset 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.

Financial assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the
business environment where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or
significant financial difficulties of the issuer) that an impairment loss on
financial assets carried at cost had been incurred, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market
rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not
reversed in subsequent periods.

Impairment of financial assets (continued)
c)

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.
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.
In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, impairment is
assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortised
cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss
measured as the difference between the amortised cost and the current fair
value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in
profit or loss. Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the
reduced carrying amount of the asset, using the rate of interest used to
discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment
loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. If, in a
subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the
increases can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment
loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed in profit
or loss.

Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost
When there is an impairment loss, the carrying amount of the asset may be reduced either
directly or through the use of an allowance account.

Determination of significant or prolonged decline in fair value of financial instruments
The determination of what is significant or prolonged depends on the circumstances at

the end of the reporting period. This requires judgement and so it varies among entities.

Construction contracts
The Group principally operates fixed price contracts. Contract revenue and contract
costs are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of
completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period (the percentage
of completion method), when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated
reliably.
FRS 11.22
FRS 11.25
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably (principally

during early stages of a contract), contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of
contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable and contract costs are
recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
FRS 11.32
An expected loss on the construction contract is recognised as an expense immediately

when it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue.
FRS 11.36
FRS 11.22
FRS 11.32
In applying the percentage of completion method, revenue recognised corresponds to

the total contract revenue (as defined below) multiplied by the actual completion rate
based on the proportion of total contract costs (as defined below) incurred to date and
the estimated costs to complete.
FRS 11.30.a
Commentary:
Stage of completion
2.19
The stage of completion of a contract may be determined in a variety of ways. The entity
uses the method that measures reliably the work performed. Depending on the nature of
the contract, other acceptable methods include surveys of work performed and
completion of a physical proportion of the contract work.
FRS 11.9
Development properties are properties acquired or being constructed for sale in the
ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for the Groups own use, rental or
capital appreciation.
Development properties are held as inventories and are measured at the lower of cost
and net realisable value.
FRS 2.6.a and b
FRS 2.9
Non-refundable commissions paid to sales or marketing agents on the sale of real

estate units are expensed when incurred.
Net realisable value of development properties is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, based on market prices at the reporting date and
discounted for the time value of money if material, less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The costs of development properties recognised in profit or loss on disposal are
determined with reference to the specific costs incurred on the property sold and an
allocation of any non-specific costs based on the relative size of the property sold.

Development properties (continued)
Commentary:
Sale of completed development property and pre-completion contracts for sale of development
property
In this illustration, the Group does not have any sale of completed development property
and pre-completion contracts for sale of development property.
For illustration of accounting policies relating to sale of completed development property
and pre-completion contracts for sale of development property, please refer to Appendix
A-3 Agreements for the construction of real estate.
Alternatively, the Group can capitalise commission paid on real estate as an asset and
amortise it as the entity expects to recognise the related revenue.
Illustrative accounting policy for capitalisation of commission paid on real estate contracts.
Non-refundable commissions paid to sales or marketing agents on the sale of real
estate units are capitalised and amortised to profit or loss as the Group expects to
recognise the related revenue.
2.20
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:
FRS 2.9, 10 and

36.a
Raw materials: purchase costs on a first-in first-out basis.
FRS 2.25
Finished goods and work-in-progress: costs of direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. These
costs are assigned on a first-in first-out basis.
FRS 2.12 and 13
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.
FRS 2.6 and 36.a
Commentary:
Cost formulas
Alternatively, the costs may be assigned by using the weighted average cost formula. An
entity shall use the same cost formula for all inventories having a similar nature and use to
the entity. For inventories with a different nature or use, different cost formulas may be
justified.
FRS 2.25

Provisions
General
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 the end of each reporting period 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.
FRS 37.14
FRS 37.59
FRS 37.45-47
FRS 37.60
Warranty provisions
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised when the product is sold or
service provided. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial
estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.
Commentary:
In this illustration, the Group does not have any decommissioning liability or restructuring
provision.
Provision for de-commissioning costs
Illustrative accounting policy for de-commissioning liability when the related asset is
measured using the cost model:
The provision for de-commissioning costs arose on construction of a manufacturing
facility for the production of fire retardant materials. De-commissioning costs are
provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using
estimated cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of that particular asset.
The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific
to the de-commissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as
incurred and recognised in profit or loss as a finance cost. The estimated future costs
of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in
the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted
from the cost of the asset.

Restructuring provision
Illustrative accounting policy for restructuring provisions:
Restructuring provisions are only recognised when general recognition criteria for
provisions are fulfilled. Additionally, the Group needs to follow a detailed formal
plan about the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number
of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs and appropriate
time-line. The people affected have a valid expectation that the restructuring is
being carried out or the implementation has been initiated already.

Government grants
Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant
will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Where the grant
relates to an asset, the fair value is recognised as deferred capital grant on the balance
sheet and is amortised to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant
asset by equal annual instalments.
Where loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions
with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this
favourable interest is regarded as additional government grant.

Commentary:
Government grants related to an asset
Alternatively, government grants related to an asset may be presented in the balance

sheet by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset.
FRS 20.24
In this illustration, it is assumed that the Group did not receive non-monetary government
grants. If an entity receives non-monetary government grant, the asset and the grant may
be accounted for either at fair value or at nominal amount.
FRS 20.23
Government grants related to income
2.23
Government grant shall be 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 may be presented as a credit in
profit or loss, either separately or under a general heading such as Other income.
Alternatively, they are deducted in reporting the related expenses.

Financial guarantee
FRS 107.21
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified
payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to
make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
FRS 39.9
Financial guarantees are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantees are recognised as income in
profit or loss over the period of the guarantee. If it is probable that the liability will be
higher than the amount initially recognised less amortisation, the liability is recorded at
the higher amount with the difference charged to profit or loss.

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are
directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of that asset.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset
for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs
are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially
completed for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the
period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity
incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Convertible redeemable preference shares

Convertible redeemable preference shares are separated into liability and equity
components based on the terms of the contract.
On issuance of the convertible redeemable preference shares, the fair value of the
liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible
bond. This amount is classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net
of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption in accordance
with the accounting policy set out in Note 2.15(b).
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised
and included in shareholders equity. Transaction costs are deducted from equity, net
of associated income tax. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not
remeasured in subsequent years.
Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the
convertible redeemable preference shares based on the allocation of proceeds to the
liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognised.

Commentary:
Convertible instruments with embedded derivative
In this illustration, the convertible preference shares are classified as compound financial
instruments with liability and equity components based on the terms of the contract.
Illustrative accounting policy if the convertible instruments are classified as hybrid
instruments with embedded derivative:
Convertible loan with conversion option are accounted for as financial liability with an
embedded equity conversion derivative based on the terms of the contract.
On issuance of convertible loans, the embedded option is recognised at its fair value as
derivative liability with subsequent changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the liability component that is carried at
amortised cost until the liability is extinguished on conversion or redemption.
When an equity conversion option is exercised, the carrying amounts of the liability
component and the equity conversion option are derecognised with a corresponding
recognition of share capital.

Employee benefits
a)
Defined contribution plans

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.
b)
FRS 19.51
Employee share option plans

Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share options as
consideration for services rendered. The cost of these equity-settled share
based payment transactions with employees is measured by reference to the
fair value of the options at the date on which the options are granted which
takes into account market conditions and non-vesting conditions. 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 Groups 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.

Employee leave entitlement
In this illustration, it is assumed that employee leave entitlement is not significant and is
not included in the list of significant accounting policies.
Illustrative accounting policy for employee leave entitlement (if significant):
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised as a liability when they are
accrued to the employees. The undiscounted liability for leave expected to be settled
wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period is recognised for
services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period. The liability for
leave expected to be settled beyond twelve months from the end of the reporting
period is determined using the projected unit credit method. The net total of service
costs, net interest on the liability and remeasurement of the liability are recognised in
profit or loss.

Employee benefits (continued)
Commentary:
Termination benefit
In this illustration, the Group does not provide any termination benefit to its employees.
Illustrative accounting policy for termination benefit:
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination
of an employees employment as a result of either an entitys decision to terminate an
employees employment before the normal retirement date or an employees decision
to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment.
FRS 19.8
A liability and expense for a termination benefits is recognised at the earlier of when
the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the entity
recognises related restructuring costs. Initial recognition and subsequent changes to
termination benefits are measured in accordance with the nature of the employment
benefits, short-term employee benefits, or other long-term employee benefits.
FRS 19.165
FRS 19.169
Defined benefit plan
In this illustration, the Group does not have any defined benefit plans. For illustration of
change in accounting policies relating to Revised FRS 19 Employee Benefits for defined
benefit plan, please refer to Appendix A-4 Defined benefit plans.
Modification or cancellation of employee share option plan
In this illustration, there is no modification or cancellation of employee share option plan.

Illustrative accounting policy for modification or cancellation of employee share option
plan:
Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction award are modified, the minimum
expense recognised is the expense as if the terms had not been modified, if the original
terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification
that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is
otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
FRS 102.28, B42-44
Where the employee share option plan is cancelled, it is treated as if it vested on the
date of cancellation, and any expense that otherwise would have been recognised for
services received over the remaining vesting period is recognised immediately. This
includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the entity
or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled
award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the
cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original
award, as described in the previous paragraph. All cancellations of equity-settled
transaction awards are treated equally.

Cash-settled share-based payment transactions
In this illustration, the employee share option plans are equity-settled share-based
payment transactions. Cash-settled share-based payment transactions are not illustrated.
Illustrative accounting policy for cash-settled share-based payment transactions:
The cost of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction is measured initially at
fair value at the grant date. This fair value is recognised in profit or loss over the
vesting period with recognition of a corresponding liability. Until the liability is settled,
it is remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit
or loss.
FRS 102.30
FRS 102.32
FRS 102.33
Measurement of unidentifiable goods or services
In situations where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services
received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, the unidentified
goods or services received (or to be received) are measured as the difference between the
fair value of the share-based payment transaction and the fair value of any identifiable
goods or services received at the grant date. This is then capitalised or expensed as
appropriate.
FRS 102.13A
Vesting and non-vesting conditions
Vesting condition are conditions that determine whether the entity receives the services
that entitle the counterparty to receive cash, other assets or equity instruments of the
entity under a share-based payment arrangement.
FRS 102.App A
Vesting conditions are limited to two types:
FRS 102.App A
Service condition (e.g., requires counterparty to complete a specified period of

service); and
Performance condition (e.g., require the counterparty to complete a specified period of

service and specified performance target to be met, for example, a target profit or EPS
of the entity, or a target share price of the entitys equity instruments).
Any condition that is neither a service condition nor a performance condition would be
regarded as a non-vesting condition. Examples of non-vesting conditions are:
-
A requirement to make monthly savings during the vesting period
A requirement for a commodity index to reach a minimum level
Restrictions on the transfer of vested equity instruments
An agreement not to work for a competitor after the award has vested
Non-vesting conditions are to be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the
equity instruments granted.
Transfer of share option reserve
The transfer of the employee share option reserve to retained earnings upon expiry of the
option is not mandatory. Alternatively, the employee share option reserve may be kept as
a separate reserve upon expiry of the option.

Leases
a)
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. Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in
the periods in which they are incurred.
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.

lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and
disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. A
component of the Group is classified as a discontinued operation when the criteria to
be classified as held for sale have been met or it has been disposed of and such a
component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations or is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of
business or geographical area of operations.

Revenue
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, regardless of when the
payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or
receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding
taxes or duty.
a)
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.
b)
FRS 18.14
Rendering of services
Revenue from the installation of fire prevention equipment is recognised by
reference to the stage of completion at the end of the reporting period. Stage
of completion is determined by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a
percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract. Where the
contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised to the
extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

Taxes
a)
b)
Current income 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.
FRS 12.46
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.
FRS 12.58 and 61A
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at
the end of the reporting period 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 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; and
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in

subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of
the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable
future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,
the 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:
FRS 12.22.c
FRS 12.39
FRS 12.34
Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary

difference arises from the initial recognition 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;
and
FRS 12.24
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with

investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures,
deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable
that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can
be utilised.

Deferred tax (continued)

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.
FRS 12.56
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in 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 end of each reporting period.
FRS 12.47
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised

outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against
goodwill on acquisition.

Sales tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax
except:
-
Where the sales tax incurred on 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.

Share capital and share issuance 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.

Treasury shares
The Groups own equity instruments, which are reacquired (treasury shares) are
recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or
loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Groups own equity instruments.
Any difference between the carrying amount of treasury shares and the consideration
received, if reissued, is recognised directly in equity. Voting rights related to treasury
shares are nullified for the Group and no dividends are allocated to them respectively.

Contingencies
A contingent liability is:
a)
a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or
b)
a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
(i)
It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic

benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
(ii)
The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient

reliability.
FRS 37.10
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the Group.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised on the balance sheet of the Group,
except for contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are present
obligations and which the fair values can be reliably determined.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of the Groups consolidated financial statements requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the
end of each reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could
result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset
or liability affected in the future periods.
Commentary:
Following are illustrative disclosure when management concluded that there are no significant
judgements made in applying accounting policies and no estimation uncertainty that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial period.
The preparation of the Groups consolidated financial statements requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the
end of reporting period. 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. Management is of the opinion that there is no
significant judgement made in applying accounting policies and no estimation uncertainty
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial period.
3.1
Judgements made in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies, management has made the
following judgements which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised
in the consolidated financial statements:
a)
Impairment of available-for-sale equity investments

The Group records impairment charges on available-for-sale equity
investments when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the
fair value below their cost. The determination of what is significant or
prolonged requires judgement. In making this judgement, the Group
evaluates, among other factors, historical share price movements and the
duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its
cost.

Judgements made in applying accounting policies (continued)
In this illustration, it is assumed that these are the judgements made in applying
accounting policies that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements.
Illustrative disclosures of other judgements made in applying accounting policies:
Determination of lease classification
The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment properties.
The Group evaluated the terms and conditions of the arrangements and assessed that
the lease term does not constitute a substantial portion of the economic life of the
commercial property and the minimum lease payment is not substantially all of the fair
value of the leased asset. The Group determined that it retains all the significant risks
and rewards of ownership of these properties and so accounts for the contracts as
operating leases.
Determination of functional currency
The Group measures foreign currency transactions in the respective functional
currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries. In determining the functional
currencies of the entities in the Group, judgement is required to determine the
currency that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services and of the country
whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determines the sales prices of its
goods and services. The functional currencies of the entities in the Group are
determined based on managements assessment of the economic environment in
which the entities operate and the entities process of determining sales prices.
Management has assessed that prices are mainly denominated and settled in the
respective local currency of the entities of the Group. In addition, most of the entities
cost base is mainly denominated in their respective local currency. Therefore,
management concluded that the functional currency of the entities of the Group is
their respective local currency.
Consolidation of structured entities
In February 2013, the Group and a third party partner formed an entity to acquire
land and construct and operate a fire equipment safety facility. The Group holds a
20% equity interest in this entity. However, the Group has majority representation on
the entitys board of directors and is required to approve all major operational
decisions. The operations, once they commence, will be solely used by the Group.
Based on these facts and circumstances, management concluded that the Group
controls this entity and, therefore, consolidates the entity in its financial statements.
Additionally, the Group is effectively guaranteeing the returns to the third party. The
shares of the third party partner are recorded as a long term loan and return on
investment is recorded as interest expense.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
FRS 1.125
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation
uncertainty at the end of the reporting period are discussed below. The Group based its
assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements
were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments,
however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the
control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
a)
Fair value of unquoted available-for-sale financial assets

The fair values of unquoted available-for-sale financial assets are
determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow
model. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data
where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is
required in establishing fair values. The assumptions applied in
determination of the valuation of these unquoted available-for-sale
financial assets and a sensitivity analysis are described in more detail in
Note 39.
The carrying amount of the unquoted available-for-sale financial assets as at
31 December 2014 is $1,702,000 (2013: $1,008,000).
b)
Impairment of intangible assets

As disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the recoverable amounts
of the cash generating units which goodwill and brands have been allocated to
are determined based on value in use calculations. The value in use
calculations are based on a discounted cash flow models. The recoverable
amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow
model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for
extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions applied in the determination of
the value in use including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further
explained in Note 15 to the financial statements.
The carrying amount of the intangible assets as at 31 December 2014 is
$1,789,000 (2013: $495,000).
c)
Revaluation of investment properties and property, plant and equipment

The Group carries its investment properties and property, plant and equipment
at fair value, with changes in fair values being recognised in profit or loss and
other comprehensive income respectively. The Group engaged real estate
valuation experts to assess fair value as at 31 December 2014. The fair values
of investment properties and property, plant and equipment are determined by
independent real estate valuation experts using recognised valuation
techniques. These techniques comprise both the Yield Method and the
Discounted Cash Flow Method. The key assumptions used to determine the fair
value of these investment properties and property, plant and equipment and
sensitivity analysis are provided in Note 39.
The carrying amounts of the investment properties and property, plant and
equipment carried at fair value as at 31 December 2014 are $4,645,000
(2013: $3,955,000) and $15,165,000 (2013: $14,300,000) respectively.

Commentary:
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
In this illustration, it is assumed that these are the key assumptions and estimation
uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Illustrative disclosures of other key sources of estimation uncertainty:
Deferred tax assets
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 timing and level of future taxable
profits together with future tax planning strategies. In determining the timing and
level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies, the Group
assessed the probability of expected future cash inflows based on expected revenues
from existing orders and contracts for the next 10 years.
Where taxable profits are expected in the foreseeable future, deferred tax assets are
recognised on the unused tax losses. The carrying value of recognised tax losses at
31 December 2014 was $XXX (2013: $XXX) and the unrecognised tax losses at 31
December 2014 was $XXX (2013: $XXX).
If the Group was able to recognise all unrecognised deferred tax assets, profit would
increase by $XXX (2013:$XXX).
Construction contracts
The Group recognises contract revenue by reference to the stage of completion of
the contract activity at the end of each reporting period, when the outcome of a
construction contract can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is
measured by reference to the proportion that contract costs incurred for work
performed to date to the estimated total contract costs. Significant assumptions are
required to estimate the total contract costs and the recoverable variation works
that affect the stage of completion. In making these estimates, management has
relied on past experience and knowledge of the project engineers. The carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities arising from construction contracts at the end of
each reporting period are disclosed in Note X to the financial statements. If the
estimated total contract cost had been 5% higher than management estimate, the
carrying amount of the assets and liabilities arising from construction contracts
would have been $XXX (2013: $XXX) lower and $XXX (2013: $XXX) higher
respectively.
Provision for decommissioning
As part of the identification and measurement of assets and liabilities for the
acquisition of XXX Limited in 2014, the Group has recognised a provision for
decommissioning obligations associated with a factory owned by XXX Limited. In
determining the fair value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in
relation to discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove plant from the
site and the expected timing of those costs. The carrying amount of the provision as
at 31 December was $XXX (2013: $XXX). If the estimated pre-tax discount rate
used in the calculation had been XX% higher than managements estimate, the
carrying amount of the provision would have been $XXX (2013: $XXX) lower.

3.
3.2

FRS 1.125

Development costs
Development costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy in Note
X. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on managements judgement that
technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product
development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established
project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalised,
management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of
the project, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits. As at
31 December 2014, the carrying amount of development costs capitalised at the
end of the reporting period was $XXX (2013: $XXX). If the expected future cash
generation of the project had been 20% lower than managements estimate, the
carrying amount of development costs would have been $XXX (2013: $XXX) lower.
Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any
objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Factors such as the probability
of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or
significant delay in payments are objective evidence of impairment. In determining
whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers whether
there is observable data indicating that there have been significant changes in the
debtors payment ability or whether there have been significant changes with
adverse effect in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which
the debtor operates in.
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 amount of the Groups loans and receivables
at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 21 to the financial statements.
If the present value of estimated future cash flows decrease by 10% from
managements estimates, the Groups allowance for impairment will increase by
$XXX (2013: increase by $XXX).
Estimation of net realisable value for development property
Inventory property is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV).
NRV in respect of development property under construction is assessed with
reference to market prices at the reporting date for similar completed property less
estimated costs to complete construction and less an estimate of the time value of
money to the date of completion. The carrying amount of the development property
stated at net realisable value as at 31 December 2014 was $XXX (2013: $XXX). If
the estimated costs to complete construction increase by 20% from managements
estimate, the carrying amount of development property stated would reduce by
$XXX (2013: $XXX).

Separate disclosure of income and expenses
FRS 107.20.b only requires total income (calculated using the effective interest method) for
financial assets that are not at fair value through profit or loss to be disclosed.
FRS 107.20.b
In this illustration, we have illustrated interest income aggregated by categories of financial

asset. Although this level of aggregation is optional, when items of income and expense are
material, their nature and amount should be disclosed separately.
FRS 1.97
When items of income and expense are material, their nature and amount should be disclosed
separately. Circumstances that would give rise to the separate disclosure of items of income
and expense include:
FRS 1.97 and 98
(a) Write-downs of inventories to net realisable value or of property, plant and equipment to
recoverable amount, as well as reversals of such write-downs;
(b) Restructurings of the activities of an entity and reversals of any provisions for the costs of
restructuring;
(c) Disposals of items of property, plant and equipment;
(d) Disposals of investments;
(e) Discontinued operations;
(f) Litigation settlements; and
(g) Other reversals of provisions.

Profit before tax from continuing operations (continued)

An entity shall disclose the fee income and expense (other than amounts included in
determining the effective interest rate) arising from financial assets or financial liabilities that
are not at fair value through profit or loss and trust and other fiduciary activities that result in
the holding or investing of assets on behalf of individuals, trusts, retirement benefit plans, and
other institutions, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes.
FRS 107.20.c
Classes of financial instruments
FRS 107 specifies a number of disclosure requirements on the following topics to be

provided by class of financial instruments:
-
Impairment losses;
FRS 107.20.e
Reconciliation of change in allowance account for credit losses if an entity chooses

under FRS 39 to have a separate allowance account;
FRS 107.16
Credit risk;
FRS 107.36
Fair value of financial instruments;
FRS 107.25
Accounting policy for recognising any difference between fair value at initial
recognition and the amount that would be determined at that date using valuation
technique and the aggregate difference yet to be recognised in profit or loss; and
FRS 107.28
Transfers of financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety.
FRS 107.42D
FRS 107 requires an entity to group financial instruments into classes that are
appropriate to the nature of information disclosed and that take into account the
characteristics of those financial instruments. These classes are determined by the
reporting entity and are distinct (usually lower in level) from the categories of financial
instruments (e.g., available-for-sale financial asset, loans and receivables) specified in
FRS 39.
FRS 107.6
In determining classes of financial instruments, an entity shall, at a minimum:
FRS 107.B2
Distinguish instruments measured at amortised cost from those measured at fair

value
Treat as a separate class or classes those financial instruments outside the scope of
FRS 107
The entity is also required to provide sufficient information to permit reconciliation of

the classes of financial instruments to the line items presented in the balance sheet.
These expense items have been disclosed separately as they are considered to be material in
the assumed scenario due to their size or nature.

Reclassification adjustments
In this illustration, the entity has chosen to disclose the reclassification adjustments and
current year gain or loss in the notes. An entity may choose to present this information in the
statement of comprehensive income itself.
FRS 1.94
Reclassification adjustments are amounts reclassified to profit or loss in the current period
that were recognised in other comprehensive income in the current or previous periods. Such
amounts must be separately disclosed. For example, when an available-for-sale financial asset
is sold, accumulated amounts previously recognised in fair value adjustment reserve will be
reclassified into profit or loss for the period.

Commentary:
Presentation of tax reconciliation
Alternatively, an entity may present a numerical reconciliation between the average effective
tax rate (i.e., tax expense/income divided by the accounting profit) and the applicable tax rate,
disclosing also the basis on which the applicable tax rate is computed.
FRS 12.81.c.ii and 86
Income tax rate for tax reconciliation
In explaining the relationship between tax expense/income and accounting profit, an entity
uses an applicable tax rate that provides the most meaningful information to the users of its
financial statements. Often, the most meaningful rate is the domestic rate of tax in the
country in which the entity is domiciled, aggregating the tax rate applied for national taxes
with the rates applied for any local taxes which are computed on a substantially similar level of
taxable profit (tax loss). However, for an entity operating in several jurisdictions, it may be
more meaningful to aggregate separate reconciliations prepared using the domestic rate in
each individual jurisdiction.

11. Discontinued operation and disposal group classified as held for sale
On 15 May 2014, the Company announced the decision of its board of directors to
dispose of one of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Good Fire Prevention Pte Ltd (GFP), which
was previously reported in the fire prevention equipment and services segment. The
decision is consistent with the Groups strategy to focus on its core electronics and
property businesses and to divest its fire prevention equipment business, which has been
underperforming for the last five years. As at 31 December 2014, the assets and
liabilities related to GFP have been presented in the balance sheet as Assets of disposal
group classified as held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with disposal group
classified as held for sale, and its results are presented separately on profit or loss as
Loss from discontinued operation, net of tax. The disposal of GFP was completed on 15
February 2015 (Note 44).

11. Discontinued operation and disposal group classified as held for sale (continued)
Immediately before the classification of GFP as a discontinued operation, the recoverable
amount was estimated for certain items of property, plant and equipment and no
impairment loss was identified. Following the classification, an impairment loss of
$450,000 (2013: nil) was recognised to reduce the carrying amount of the assets in the
disposal group to the fair value less costs to sell. This amount was included as part of the
Loss from discontinued operation, net of tax.
Commentary:
FRS 5.5B clarifies that disclosure requirements in other FRSs do not apply to non-current
assets held for sale (or disposal groups) unless those FRSs explicitly refer to those assets and
disposals groups. Disclosure requirements continue to apply for assets and liabilities that are
not within the scope of the measurement requirements of FRS 105, but within the disposal
group.

weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
FRS 33.10 and 12
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are calculated by dividing profit
from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to owners of the Company (after
adjusting for interest expense on convertible redeemable preference shares) by the

b) Earnings per share computation

The basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the year
attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares for basic earnings per share computation and dividing the profit for the year
attributable to owners of the Company adjusted for interest expense on convertible
redeemable shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares for diluted
earnings per share computation respectively. These profit and share data are
presented in the tables in Note 12(a) above.
FRS 33.70.a and b

12. Earnings per share (continued)
Commentary:
Earnings per share
If the number of ordinary or potential ordinary shares outstanding increases as a result of a

capitalisation, bonus issue or share split, or decreases as a result of a reverse share split, the
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented shall be adjusted
retrospectively. If these changes occur after the end of the reporting period but before the
financial statements are authorised for issue, the per share calculations for current and prior
period presented shall be based on the new number of shares and this fact should be
disclosed. In addition, basic and diluted earnings per share of all periods presented shall be
adjusted for the effects of errors and adjustments resulting from changes in accounting
policies accounted for retrospectively.
In this illustration, it is assumed that the discontinued operation is not attributable to noncontrolling interests.
The objective of diluted earnings per share is consistent with that of basic earnings per share
which is to provide a measure of the interest of each ordinary share in the performance of an
entity while giving effect to all dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the
period. As a result:
FRS 33.64
FRS 33.32
(a) profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity is increased by
the after-tax amount of dividends and interest recognised in the period in respect of the
dilutive potential ordinary shares and is adjusted for any other changes in income or
expense that would result from the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares;
and
(b) the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased by the weighted
average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming
the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Potential ordinary shares shall be treated as dilutive only when their conversion to ordinary
shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing
operations.
FRS 33.41
An entity shall disclose a description of ordinary share transactions or potential ordinary share
transactions, other than those resulted from share capitalisation, bonus issue or share split,
that occur after the end of the reporting period and that would have changed significantly the
number of ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the period if
those transactions had occurred before the end of the reporting period.
FRS 33.70.d
Example of such transactions include:
FRS 33.71
An issue of shares for cash;
An issue of shares when the proceeds are used to repay debt or preference shares
outstanding at the end of the reporting period;
The redemption of ordinary shares outstanding;
The conversion or exercise of potential ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the
reporting period into ordinary shares;
An issue of options, warrants, or convertible instruments; and
The achievement of conditions that would result in the issue of contingently issuable
shares.
Earnings per share amounts are not adjusted for such transactions occurring after the end of
the reporting period because such transactions do not affect the amount of capital used to
produce profit or loss for the period.

production equipment because a particular line of specialised electronic component
products had been persistently making losses. An impairment loss of $500,000 (2013:
nil), representing the write-down of these equipment to the recoverable amount was
recognised in Other expenses (Note 8) line item of profit or loss for the financial year
ended 31 December 2014. The recoverable amount of the production equipment was
based on its value in use and the pre-tax discount rate used was 12.4% (2013: 11.2%).

machines from five to eight years, after refurbishments that will enable these automation
machines to remain in production for an additional three years. The revision in estimate
has been applied on a prospective basis from 1 January 2013. The effect of the above

- The gross carrying amount of any fully depreciated property, plant and equipment that is still
in use;
- The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment retired from active use and not
classified as held for sale in accordance with FRS 105; and
- When the cost model is used, the fair value of property, plant and equipment when this is
materially different from the carrying amount.
FRS 16.79


If the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation have been determined by applying a
capitalisation rate to the expenditures on a qualifying asset because funds used for the
purpose of obtaining the qualifying asset are borrowed generally (rather than specifically), the
capitalisation rate should be the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the
borrowings of the entity that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made
specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The amount of borrowing costs
capitalised during a period should not exceed the amount of borrowing costs incurred during
that period.

expenditure recognised in the carrying amount of an asset; and iii) acquisitions through business
combinations should be disclosed separately.
Valuation of investment properties
When a valuation obtained for investment property is adjusted significantly for the purpose of
the financial statements, for example to avoid double-counting of assets or liabilities that are
recognised as separate assets and liabilities, the entity should disclose a reconciliation between
the valuation obtained and the adjusted valuation included in the financial statements, showing
separately the aggregate amount of any recognised lease obligations that have been added
back, and any other significant adjustments.
If there has been no such valuation performed by an independent valuer, that fact should be
disclosed.

Brands relate to the Gao-Feng, You-Yue and MSAX-Q (acquired in 2013) brand
names for the Groups specialised electronic components that were acquired in business
combinations. As explained in Note 2.9(b)(i), the useful life of these brands is estimated to
be indefinite.
Deferred development costs relate to energy efficiency improvement projects for
analogue electronic components and have an average remaining amortisation period of
four years (2013: five years).
All research costs and development costs not eligible for capitalisation have been
expensed and are recognised in Research and development line item in profit or loss.

Key assumptions used in the value in use calculations

The calculations of value in use for both the CGUs are most sensitive to the following
assumptions:
Budgeted gross margins Gross margins are based on average values achieved in the
three years preceding the start of the budget period. These are increased over the budget
period for anticipated efficiency improvements. An increase of 1.5% per annum was
applied for the electronic components segment and 2.2% for the property segment.
Growth rates The forecasted growth rates are based on published industry research and
do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the industries relevant to the CGUs.

Impairment testing of goodwill and brands (continued)
Key assumptions used in the value in use calculations (continued)
Pre-tax discount rates Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the
risks specific to each CGU, regarding the time value of money and individual risks of the
underlying assets which have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The
discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its
operating segments and derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The
WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the
expected return on investment by the Groups investors. The cost of debt is based on the
interest bearing borrowings the Group is obliged to service. Segmentspecific risk is
incorporated by applying individual beta factors. The beta factors are evaluated annually
based on publicly available market data.
Market share assumptions These assumptions are important because, as well as using
industry data for growth rates (as noted above), management assesses how the CGUs
position, relative to its competitors, might change over the budget period. Management
expects the Groups share of the electronics and property markets to be stable over the
budget period.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

With regards to the assessment of value in use for the property segment, management
believes that no reasonably possible changes in any of the above key assumptions would
cause the carrying value of the unit to materiality exceed its recoverable amount.
For the electronic components segment, the estimated recoverable amount exceeds its
carrying amount by approximately $200,000 (2013: $150,000) and, consequently, any
adverse change in a key assumption would result in a further impairment loss. The
implication of the key assumption for the recoverable amount is discussed below:
Growth rates Management recognises that the speed of technological change and the
possibility of new entrance can have a significant impact on growth rate assumptions. The
effect of new entrance is not expected to have an adverse impact on the forecasts, but
could yield a reasonably possible alternative to the estimated long-term growth rate of
5.1% (2013: 4.8%). A reduction of 0.8% (2013: 0.9%) in the long-term growth rate would
result in a further impairment.
FRS 36.134.f.i
FRS 36.134.f.ii
FRS 36.134.f.iii
Impairment loss recognised

During the financial year, an impairment loss was recognised to write-down the carrying
amount of deferred development costs attributable to the fire prevention equipment
segment that has been classified as discontinued operation (Note 11). The impairment
loss of $200,000 (2013: nil) has been recognised in profit or loss under the line item loss
from discontinued operation, net of tax.

Commentary:
Description of intangible assets
The disclosure of a description, the carrying amount and remaining amortisation period are
required for any individual intangible asset that is material to the entitys financial
statements.
FRS 38.122.b
If some or all of the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives is allocated across multiple CGUs (groups of units), and the amount so allocated to each
unit (group of units) is not significant in comparison with the entitys total carrying amount of
goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, that fact shall be disclosed, together
with the aggregate carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives allocated to those CGUs (group of units). In addition, if the recoverable amounts of any
of those CGUs (group of units) are based on the same key assumption(s) and the aggregate
carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to them
is significant in comparison with the entitys total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives, an entity shall disclose that fact, together with:
FRS 36.135
(a)
The aggregate carrying amount of goodwill allocated to those units (groups of units)
(b)
The aggregate carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated
to those units (groups of units)
(c)
A description of the key assumption(s)
(d)
A description of managements approach to determining the value(s) assigned to the

key assumption(s), whether those value(s) reflect past experience or, if appropriate,
are consistent with external sources of information, and, if not, how and why they differ
from past experience or external sources if information.
(e)
If a reasonably possible change in the key assumption(s) would cause the aggregate of
the units (groups of units) carrying amounts to exceed the aggregate of their
recoverable amounts:
(i)
The amount by which the aggregate of the units (group of units) recoverable
amounts exceeds the aggregate of their carrying amounts.
(ii)
The value(s) assigned to the key assumption(s).
(iii)
The amount by which the value(s) assigned to the key assumption(s) must change,
after incorporating any consequential effects of the change on the other variables
used to measure recoverable amount, in order for the aggregate of the units
(groups of units) recoverable amounts to be equal to the aggregate of their
carrying amounts.
Recoverable amount of CGU containing goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives
determined based on fair value less costs to sell
In this illustration, the recoverable amounts of such CGUs were determined based on value in
use calculations. If an entity uses fair value less costs of disposal to measure the recoverable
amount of CGU and the fair value less costs of disposal is not determined using a quoted
price, the entity should disclose the valuation technique(s) and other information including:
the key assumption used; a description of managements approach to each key assumption
(whether those values reflect past experience or are consistent with external information,
and if not, how and why they differ); the level of fair value hierarchy and the reason(s) for
changing valuation techniques, if there is any change, are required to be provided in the
financial statements.
The recoverable amounts of CGU A, CGU B and CGU C are determined based on fair value
less costs of disposal of the CGUs. To calculate these values, an appropriate multiple was
applied to the maintainable operating earnings of the CGUs. The fair value less costs of
disposal of the CGUs are determined by applying an appropriate market multiple to its
earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), which
management believes is sustainable in view of the current and anticipated business
conditions.
FRS 36.134.e

Recoverable amount of CGU containing goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives
determined based on fair value less costs to sell (continued)
Illustrative note disclosure (continued):

The fair value less costs of disposal of CGU A, CGU B and CGU C are estimated based on
current EBITDAs and market multiple of X.XX. The market multiples are calculated based
on the median of comparable companies indications, after adjustments for differences in
risks and growth. The control premium of XX% was calculated based on the investment
climate, industry dynamic and recent comparable transactions. The discount rate of XX%
has been derived based on studies of liquidity discounts and adjusted for the size of the
Company. The fair value derived is categorises under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
If fair value less costs to sell is determined using discounted cash flow projections, the
following information shall also be disclosed:
The period over which management has projected cash flows
The growth rate used to extrapolate cash flow projections
The discount rate(s) applied to the cash flow projections
Provided specified criteria are met, if the most recent detailed calculation made in a
preceding period of the recoverable amount of a CGU (group of units) is used in the
impairment test for that unit (group of units) in the current period, the disclosures required
in the financial statements by paragraphs 134 and 135 relate to the carried forward
calculation of recoverable amount.
FRS 36.136
Forecasted growth rates used to extrapolate cash flow projections beyond the five-year period
The entity is required to disclose the justification if the growth rate used to extrapolate cash
flows projections beyond the period covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts exceeds
the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or countries in which the
entity operates.
FRS 36.134.d.iv

The growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows of the electronics component
segment exceeds the average growth rate for the industry in which the electronics
segment operates by three quarters of a percentage point. Management of the
electronics component segment believes this growth rate is justified based on the
acquisition of XXX Limited that has resulted in the control of an industry patent,
preventing other entities from manufacturing a specialised product for a period of 10
years with the option for renewal after the 10 years period have expired.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
If a reasonably possible change in any key assumptions used by management would cause
the carrying values of CGUs to materially exceed the recoverable amounts, an entity should
disclose
-
the amount by which the CGUs recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount,
the value assigned to the key assumption,
the amount by which the value assigned to the key assumption must change, after
incorporating any consequential effects of that change on the other variables used to
measure recoverable amount, in order for the CGUs recoverable amount to be equal to
its carrying amount.

Commentary:
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial statements
(a) to understand:
i.
the composition of the group; and
ii. the interest that non-controlling interests have in the groups activities and cash flows;
and
(b) to evaluate:
i.
the nature and extent of significant restrictions on its ability to access or use assets,
and settle liabilities, of the group
ii. the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in consolidated
structured entities
iii. the consequences of changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result
in a loss of control; and
iv. the consequences of losing control of a subsidiary during the reporting period.
FRS 112.10

An entity shall decide, in the light of its circumstances, how much detail it provides to satisfy
the information needs of users, how much emphasis it places on different aspects of the
requirements and how it aggregates the information. It is necessary to strike a balance
between burdening financial statements with excessive detail that may not assist users of
financial statements and obscuring information as a result of too much aggregation.
FRS 112.B2
In this illustration, it is assumed that there was no reversal of impairment loss on investment in
subsidiaries. Where applicable, an entity should disclose the events and circumstances that led
to the reversal of such impairment loss.
FRS 36.130.a
An entity shall disclose the country of incorporation if different from the principal place of
business of the subsidiary.
FRS 112.12.b

An entity shall disclose:
FRS 112.13
(a) Significant restrictions (e.g. statutory, contractual and regulatory restrictions) on its
ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of the group, such as:
i.
those that restrict the ability of a parent or its subsidiaries to transfer cash or other
assets to (or from) other entities within the group.
ii. guarantee or other requirements that may restrict dividends and other capital
distributions being paid, or loans and advances being made or repaid, to (or from)
other entities within the group.
(b) The nature and extent to which protective rights of non-controlling interests can
significantly restrict the entitys ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities
of the group (such as when a parent is obliged to settle liabilities of a subsidiary before
settling its own liabilities, or approval of non-controlling interests is required either to
access the assets or to settle the liabilities of a subsidiary).
(c) The carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the assets and liabilities
to which those restrictions apply.
The summarised financial information presented shall be the amounts before inter-company
eliminations.
FRS 112.B11

Nature of the risks associated with an entitys interests in consolidated structured entities
In this illustration, the Group does not consolidate any structured entity. If the Group provides
financial support to consolidated structured entities, please refer to the following disclosure
requirements:
An entity shall disclose the terms of any contractual arrangements that could require the
parent or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to a consolidated structured entity,
including events or circumstances that could expose the reporting entity to a loss (e.g. liquidity
arrangements or credit rating triggers associated with obligations to purchase assets of the
structured entity or provide financial support).
FRS 112.14
If during the reporting period a parent or any of its subsidiaries has, without having a
contractual obligation to do so, provided financial or other support to a consolidated structured
entity (e.g. purchasing assets of or instruments issued by the structured entity), the entity shall
disclose:
FRS 112.15
(a) the type and amount of support provided, including situations in which the parents or its
subsidiaries assisted the structured entity in obtaining financial support; and
(b) the reasons for providing the support.
If during the reporting period a parent or any of its subsidiaries has, without having a
contractual obligation to do so, provided financial or other support to a previously
unconsolidated structured entity and that provision of support resulted in the entity controlling
the structured entity, the entity shall disclose an explanation of the relevant factors in reaching
that decision.
FRS 112.16
An entity shall disclose any current intentions to provide financial or other support to a
consolidated structured entity, including intentions to assist the structured entity in obtaining
financial support.
FRS 112.17
Investment entities
In this illustration, the Company does not meet the definition of an investment entity and
therefore does not apply the exception to consolidation under FRS 110. When a parent
determines that it is an investment entity in accordance with FRS 110, the following disclosures
are required.
(a) Information about significant judgements and assumptions it has made in determining that
it is an investment entity. If the investment entity does not have one or more of the typical
characteristics of an investment entity, it shall disclose its reasons for concluding that it is
nevertheless an investment entity.
FRS 112.9A
(b) When an entity becomes, or ceases to be, an investment entity, it shall disclose the change
of investment entity status and the reasons for the change. In addition, an entity that
becomes an investment entity shall disclose the effect of the change of status on the
financial statements for the period presented including:

In connection with the acquisition of additional 55% equity interest in MSAX, XYZ
Holdings (Singapore) Limited issued 1,305,310 ordinary shares with a fair value of
$1.13 each. The fair value of these shares is the published price of the shares at the

Contingent consideration arrangement

As part of the purchase agreement with the previous owner of MSAX, a contingent
consideration has been agreed. Additional cash payments shall be payable to the
previous owner of MSAX of:
FRS 103.B64.g.ii
a)
$385,000, if the entity generates $1,000,000 profit before tax for a period of
12 months after the acquisition date, or
FRS 103.B64.g.iii
b)
$705,000 if the entity generates $1,500,000 profit before tax for a period of
12 months after the acquisition date.
As at the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was
estimated at $450,000.
FRS 103.B64.g.i
As of 31 December 2014, the key performance indicators of MSAX show clearly that
target (a) will be achieved and the achievement of target (b) is probable due to a
significant expansion of the business and synergies implemented. Accordingly, the
fair value of the contingent consideration has been adjusted to reflect this
development and such change has been recognised through profit or loss.
The fair value of the contingent consideration as at 31 December 2014 has been
increased by $235,000 to $685,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration
was calculated by applying the income approach using the probability-weighted
payout approach and at a discount rate of 8%. This fair value adjustment of
contingent consideration is recognised in the Other expenses line item in the
Groups profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2014.
FRS 103.58
FRS 103.B67.b
Transaction costs
Transaction costs related to the acquisition of $300,000 have been recognised in the
Administrative expenses line item in the Groups profit or loss for the year ended
31 December 2014.
FRS 103.B64.l and m

Gain on remeasuring previously held equity interest in MSAX to fair value at
acquisition date
The Group recognised a gain of $140,000 as a result of measuring at fair value its
25% equity interest in MSAX held before the business combination. The gain is
included in the Other income line item in the Groups profit or loss for the year
ended 31 December 2014.
FRS 103.B64.p.ii
Trade and other receivables acquired

Trade and other receivables acquired comprise of trade receivables and bills of
exchange and promissory notes with fair values of $600,000 and $489,000,
respectively. Their gross amounts are $655,000 and $489,000, respectively. At the
acquisition date, $55,000 of the contractual cash flows pertaining to trade
receivables are not expected to be collected. It is expected that the full contractual
amount of the bills of exchange and promissory notes can be collected.
FRS 103.B64.h
Goodwill arising from acquisition

The goodwill of $772,000 comprises the value of strengenthing the Groups market
position in the ASEAN region, improved resilience to sector specific volatilities, and
cost reduction syngeries expected to arise from the acquisition. It also includes the
value of a customer list, which has not been recognised separately. Goodwill is
allocated entirely to the electronic components segment. Due to the contractual
terms imposed on the acquisition, the customer list is not separable and therefore
does not meet the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset under FRS 38. None
of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
FRS 103.B64.e
FRS 103.B64.k
Impact of the acquisition on profit or loss

From the acquisition date, MSAX has contributed $8,000,000 of revenue and
$301,000 to the Groups profit for the year. If the business combination had taken
place at the beginning of the year, the revenue from continuing operations would
have been $144,720,000 and the Groups profit from continuing operations, net of
tax would have been $5,801,000.
FRS 103.B64.q.i
FRS 103.B64.q.ii
Provisional accounting of the acquisition of MSAX

A brand has been identified as an intangible asset arising from this acquisition. The
Group has engaged an independent valuer to determine the fair value of the brand.
As at 31 December 2014, the fair value of the brand amounting to $500,000 has
been determined on a provisional basis as the final results of the independent
valuation have not been received by the date the financial statements was authorised
for issue. Goodwill arising from this acquisition, the carrying amount of the brand,
deferred tax liability, and amortisation of the brand will be adjusted accordingly on a
retrospective basis when the valuation of the brand is finalised.

Acquisition of ownership interest in subsidiary, without loss of control

On 31 March 2014, the Groups subsidiary company, XYZ Technologies, acquired an
additional 20% equity interest in XYZ Vietnam Ltd (XYZ Vietnam) from its noncontrolling interests for a cash consideration of $800,000. As a result of this
acquisition, XYZ Vietnam became a wholly-owned subsidiary of XYZ Technologies.
The carrying value of the net assets of XYZ Vietnam at 31 March 2014 was
$3,250,000 and the carrying value of the additional interest acquired was
$650,000. The difference of $150,000 between the consideration and the carrying
value of the additonal interest acquired has been recognised as Premium paid on
acquisition of non-controlling interests within equity.
The following summarises the effect of the change in the Groups ownership interest
in XYZ Vietnam on the equity attributable to owners of the Company:

Commentary:
An entity shall also make disclosures of business combinations in accordance to FRS 103.B64
even if they were effected after the end of the reporting date but before the financial
statements are authorised for issue, unless the initial accounting for the business
combination is incomplete at the time the financial statements are authorised for issue. In
that situation, the entity shall describe which disclosures cannot be made and the reasons
why they cannot be made.

An acquirer shall also disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to
evaluate the financial effects of adjustments recognised in the current reporting period that
relate to business combinations that occurred in the current period or previous reporting
periods.
Illustrative disclosure for adjustments to initial accounting for a business combination that
was determined provisionally in the previous reporting period:
FRS 103.61 and

B67
FRS 103.B67.a
The purchase price allocation of the acquisition of Acquiree Group (Acquiree) in the
financial year ended 31 December 2014 were provisional as the Group had sought an
independent valuation for the land and buildings owned by Acquiree. The results of this
valuation had not been received at the date the 2014 financial statements were
authorised for issue. The valuation of the land and buildings was received in April 2014
and showed that the fair value at the date of acquisition was $XXX, an increase of $XXX
compared to the provisional value.
The 2013 comparative information has been restated to reflect this adjustment. The
value of the land and buildings increased by $XXX, there was an increase in the deferred
tax liability of $XXX and an increase in non-controlling interest of $XXX. There was also a
corresponding reduction in goodwill of $XXX, to give total goodwill arising on the
acquisition of $XXX. The depreciation charge on the buildings from the acquisition date
to 31 December 2013 increased by $XXX.
In this illustration, no contingent liabilities are recognised in the business combination.

Illustrative note disclosure where an entity recognised contingent liabilities in a business
combination:
A contingent liability at a fair value of $XXX has been determined at the acquisition date
resulting from a claim for payment by a supplier whose shipment has been rejected and
payment has been refused by the Group due to deviations from the defined technical
specifications of the goods. The claim is subject to legal arbitration and is only expected
to be finalised in late 2015. As at the reporting date, the contingent liability has been
reassessed and is determined to be $XXX, which is based on the expected probable
outcome (see Note X on Contingent Liability). The charge has been recognised in profit or
loss.

FRS 103.56

Please refer to commentary no. 7 of Note 2.4 Basis of consolidation and business
combinations.
In this illustration, the Group has elected to measure non-controlling interest arising from
acquisition of MSAX at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of MSAXs
identifiable net assets. The following is an illustrative disclosure when an entity chooses to
measure non-controlling interest arising in a business combination at fair value:
Fair value of non-controlling interest in Acquiree
The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Acquiree, an unlisted company, was
estimated by applying the income approach that is corroborated by market approach. The
fair value estimates are based on:
A discount rate range of XX% to XX%;
Terminal value, calculated based on the long term sustainable growth rate for the
industry ranging from XX% to XX%, which has been used to determine income for the
future years; and
Adjustments because of the lack of control and marketability that market participants
would consider when estimating the fair value of the non-controlling interest in
Acquiree.
If the acquisition results in a bargain purchase instead of goodwill recognised, the acquirer
shall disclose the amount of the gain recognised and the line item in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income in which the gain is recognised, and a description of the
reasons why the transaction resulted in a gain.

Unrecognised tax losses
FRS 12.81.e
At the end of the reporting period, the Group has tax losses of approximately $867,000
(2013: $682,000) that are available for offset against future taxable profits of the
companies in which the losses arose, for which no deferred tax asset is recognised due to
uncertainty of its recoverability. The use of these tax losses is subject to the agreement of
the tax authorities and compliance with certain provisions of the tax legislation of the
respective countries in which the companies operate. The tax losses have no expiry date
except for an amount of $101,000 (2013:$101,000) which will expire in 2015.
Unrecognised temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and joint
venture
FRS 12.81.f
At the end of the reporting period, no deferred tax liability (2013: nil) has been
recognised for taxes that would be payable on the undistributed earnings of certain of the
Groups subsidiaries and joint venture as:
-
The Group has determined that undistributed earnings of its subsidiaries will not be
distributed in the foreseeable future; and
The joint venture of the Group cannot distribute its earnings until it obtains the
consent of both the venturers. At the end of the reporting period, the Group does not
foresee giving such consent.
Such temporary differences for which no deferred tax liability has been recognised
aggregate to $450,000 (2013: $340,000). The deferred tax liability is estimated to be
$81,000 (2013: $68,000).
FRS 12.87
Tax consequences of proposed dividends

There are no income tax consequences (2013: nil) attached to the dividends to the
shareholders proposed by the Company but not recognised as a liability in the financial
statements (Note 43).
FRS 12.81.i
Commentary:
Deferred tax income or expense recognised in profit or loss
This disclosure is required in situations where the amount of the deferred tax income or
expense recognised in profit or loss relating to each type of deferred tax assets/liabilities is
not apparent from the changes in the amounts recognised in the balance sheet.

Commentary:
Collateral and other credit enhancements
When an entity holds collateral (of financial or non-financial assets) and is permitted to sell or
repledge the collateral in the absence of default by the owner of the collateral, it shall disclose:
(a) the fair value of the collateral held; (b) the fair value of any such collateral sold or
repledged, and whether the entity has an obligation to return it; and (c) the terms and
conditions associated with its use of the collateral.
When an entity obtains financial or non-financial assets during the period by taking possession
of collateral it holds as security or calling on other credit enhancements (e.g., guarantees), and
such assets meet the recognition criteria under FRS, an entity shall disclose for such assets
held at the reporting date:
FRS 107.15
FRS 107.38
(a) the nature and carrying amount of the assets; and

(b) when the assets are not readily convertible into cash, its policies for disposing of such
assets or for using them in its operations.
The above disclosure required for financial assets obtained by taking possession of collateral or
other credit enhancements are only applicable to assets still held at the reporting date.
An entity shall disclose a description of collateral held as security and of other credit
enhancements, and their financial effect (e.g. a quantification of the extent to which collateral
or other credit enhancements mitigate credit risk) in respect of the amount that best
represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.
FRS 107.36.b
Categories of financial assets and financial liabilities
Please refer to commentary no. 1 of Note 22 Investment securities.
Ageing analysis of financial assets that are past due but not impaired
FRS 107 requires the disclosure of an analysis by class of the age of financial assets that are
past due but not impaired. Any entity uses its judgement to determine the appropriate time
bands to be disclosed.
FRS 107.37.a and IG

28
Allowance account for credit losses
FRS 107 requires disclosure requirements where financial assets are impaired by credit losses
and the entity records the impairment in a separate account (e.g., an allowance account used
to record individual impairments or a similar account used to record a collective impairment of
assets) rather than directly reducing the carrying amount of the asset. In such circumstances,
the entity shall disclose a reconciliation of changes in that account (the reconciliation) during
the period for each class of financial assets.
In this illustration, the entity has presented the reconciliation of changes in the two allowance
accounts that it has used to record impairment of trade receivables, i.e., trade receivables that
are collectively impaired and those that are individually impaired.
FRS 107.16

FRS 107 Disclosures - Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

paragraph 13A of FRS 107.
FRS 107.13B
These disclosures are required for all recognised financial instruments that are set off in
accordance with paragraph 42 of FRS 32 and also apply to recognised financial instruments
that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement
irrespective of whether they are set off in accordance with paragraph 42 of FRS 32.
FRS 107.13A
To meet the objective above, an entity shall disclose, at the end of the reporting period, the
following quantitative information separately for recognised financial assets and recognised
financial liabilities that are within the scope of paragraph 13A of FRS 107:
FRS 107.13C
(a) the gross amounts of those recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities;
(b) the amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in FRS 32.42 when
determining the net amounts presented in the balance sheet;
(c) the net amounts presented in the balance sheet;
(d) the amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar
arrangement that are not otherwise include in (b), including
i. amounts related to recognised financial instruments that do not meet some or all of
the offsetting criteria of FRS 32.42; and
ii. amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and
(e) the net amounts after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above.
The information above shall be presented in a tabular format, separately for financial assets
and financial liabilities, unless another format is more appropriate.
The total amount disclosed for an instrument in accordance with (d) above shall be limited to
the net amounts presented in the balance sheet for that instrument.

Impairment losses
During the financial year, the Group recognised the following impairment losses:
FRS 107.20.e and 37.b
Impairment loss of $70,000 (2013: $150,000) and $11,000 (2013: $35,000) for
quoted and unquoted equity securities respectively as there were significant or
prolonged decline in the fair value of these investments below their costs. The Group
treats significant generally as X% and prolonged as greater than X months.
Impairment loss of $100,000 (2013: nil) pertaining to unquoted equity securities
carried at cost, reflecting the write-down in the carrying value of this private equity
investment in a Singapore company that was placed under receivership.
Impairment loss of $17,000 (2013: $25,000) for unquoted other debt securities after
taking into considerations the probability of default or significant delay in repayments
by the debtors.
Commentary:
FRS 107 required disclosure of the carrying amounts of financial instruments under each of
the classification in FRS 39, either on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes. The
categories of financial instruments include financial assets and financial liabilities that are
classified as held for trading, those that are designated upon initial recognition as financial
assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments,
loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets, and financial liabilities measured at
amortised cost. In this illustration, the disclosure requirement is met in the respective notes to
the financial statements (refer to this note, Note 21, 26 and 31). Alternatively, the disclosure
of the carrying amounts of financial instruments under each of the classifications in FRS 39
may be presented in a separate centralised note.

22. Investment securities (continued)
Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments
Information such as the interest rates and maturity dates of the debt securities, and countries
where the equity securities are listed should be disclosed if material and enables the users of
the financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of the risks arising from financial
instruments to which the entity is exposed to at the reporting date. In this illustration, the
countries where the equity securities are listed are disclosed in Note 40 (e) Market price risk.
FRS 107.31
Reclassification of financial assets at cost or amortised cost to fair value
If an entity has reclassified any financial asset measured at cost or amortised cost to fair value
or reclassified any financial asset at fair value, rather than at cost or amortised cost, FRS 107
requires disclosure of the amount and reason for the reclassification.
FRS 107.12
Illustrative disclosure for reclassification of financial assets at cost to fair value:

On 30 November 2014, the Group reclassified its investment in equity instruments of a
private Singapore company (XXX Pte Ltd) that was previously measured at cost of $XXX
to available-for-sale investments measured at fair value of $XXX, when a reliable measure
of fair value became available upon its listing on the SGX-ST.

Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Shortterm deposits are made for varying periods of between one day and three months,
depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group and the Company, and earn
interests at the respective short-term deposit rates. The weighted average effective
interest rates as at 31 December 2014 for the Group and the Company were 2.60%
(2013: 2.80%) and 0.15% (2013: 0.20%) respectively.

equivalent balances held by an enterprise are not available for use by the group. Examples
include cash and cash equivalent balances held by a subsidiary that operates in a country
where exchange controls or other legal restrictions apply when the balances are not available
for general use by the parent or other subsidiaries.
Cash and cash equivalents which are restricted in its use for more than twelve months shall be
classified as non-current assets.

Maintenance warranties
A provision is recognised for expected warranty claims on certain specialised electronic
components sold during the last two years, based on past experience of the level of
repairs and returns. It is expected that most of these costs will be incurred in the next two
financial years and all will have been incurred within three years from the end of the
reporting period. Assumptions used to calculate the provision for maintenance warranties
were based on current sales levels and current information available about returns based
on the three-year warranty period for the relevant specialised electronic components
sold.
During the financial year, based on the earlier mentioned statistics and warranty claims
experience, management concluded that the provision for maintenance warranties
exceeded the amount necessary to cover warranty claims on products sold during the last
two years. Accordingly, $60,000 (2013: nil) of the warranty provision has been reversed.

reporting period, the management is in the process of negotiating a settlement
agreement with the plaintiff. The provision made represents the managements estimate
of the settlement consideration, being the account of profit for the periods covered by the
licence. The settlement and compensation is expected to be concluded in 2015.

Obligations under finance leases

These obligations are secured by a charge over the leased assets (Note 13). The average
discount rate implicit in the leases is 8.5% p.a. (2013: 8.8% p.a.). These obligations are
denominated in the respective functional currencies of the relevant entities in the Group.
Bank overdrafts
Bank overdrafts are denominated in SGD, bear interest at SIBOR + 3.0% p.a. (2013:
SIBOR + 3.0% p.a.) and are secured by a floating charge over certain inventories (Note
25).
6% p.a. fixed rate SGD bank loan
This loan is fully repayable on 30 June 2015 (2013: 30 June 2014) and is secured by a
charge over freehold land under development (Note 24).
7.5% p.a. fixed rate SGD bonds
These bonds with a face value of $3,200,000 are unsecured and are repayable in 5 equal
annual instalments commencing on 1 January 2016.
8% p.a. fixed rate USD bank loan
This loan has been drawn down under a six-year multi-option facility (MOF). The loan is
repayable within 12 months after the reporting date, but has been classified as long-term
because the Group expects and has the discretion to exercise its rights under the MOF to
refinance this funding. Such immediate replacement funding is available until 31 January
2020. The total amount repayable on maturity is $1,600,000. The facility is secured by a
first mortgage over certain freehold land and buildings of the Group (Note 13).

30. Loans and borrowings (continued)
SGD bank loan at LIBOR + 2.0% p.a.
This loan is secured by a first mortgage over certain investment properties (Note 14) of
the Group and is repayable in two equal instalments due on 31 December 2016 and 31
January 2020. The loan includes a financial covenant which requires the Group to
maintain a gearing ratio not exceeding 50%.
SGD bank loan at SIBOR + 3.0% p.a.
This loan is secured by a first mortgage over certain of the Groups freehold land and
buildings (Note 13), a charge over certain investment securities (Note 22) of the Group
and corporate guarantee provided by the Company (Note 38(a)). Repayment of this loan
is due on 30 November 2018. The loan includes a financial covenant which requires the
Group to maintain a net current asset and net asset positions throughout the tenure of
the loan.
8.5% p.a. fixed rate SGD loan
As at 31 December 2014, this loan has been presented as part of the liabilities of the
disposal group classified as held for sale (Note 11).
Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares
As at 31 December 2014 and 2013, there were 505,000 Convertible Redeemable
Preference Shares (CRPS) issued and fully paid. The shares were issued at $1 each and
are convertible at the option of the shareholders into ordinary shares of the Company on
1 January 2017 on the basis of one ordinary share for every preference share held. Any
preference shares not converted will be redeemed on 31 December 2020 at a price of
$1.20 per share. The preference shares carry a dividend of 8% p.a., payable half-yearly in
arrears on 30 June and 31 December. The dividend rights are non-cumulative and the

Commentary:
Defaults or breaches
If during the period, there were defaults or breaches of loan agreement terms, the entity
should disclose:
(a)
Details of any defaults during the period of principal, interest, sinking fund, or
redemption terms of those loans payable;
(b)
The carrying amount of the loans payable in default at the reporting date; and
(c)
Whether the default was remedied, or the terms of the loans payable were renegotiated,
before the financial statements were authorised for issue.
These disclosure requirements are also applicable to breaches of loan agreement terms other
than those mentioned above whose breaches permitted the lender to demand accelerated
repayment (unless the breaches were remedied, or the terms of the loan were renegotiated,
on or before the reporting date).
FRS 107.18
FRS 107.19
Illustrative note disclosure for default on interest payment:

The Company has defaulted in interest payment of $XXX on bank borrowings carried at
$XXX at the end of the reporting period. The Company experienced a temporary shortage
of funds due to decrease in market demand in the Companys products in the first two
quarters. The interest payable of $XXX which was overdue since October 2014 remained
unpaid as at the date when these financial statements were authorised for issue.
Illustrative note disclosure for breach of loan covenant:
During the current financial year, the Company breached a covenant of a bank loan. The
Company did not fulfil the requirement to maintain gearing ratio at X.XX for a credit line of
$XXX. The credit line was fully drawn down and presented as current liability at the end of
the reporting period. The bank is contractually entitled to request for immediate
repayment of the outstanding loan amount in the event of breach of covenant.
The bank had not requested for immediate repayment of the outstanding loan amount as
at the date when these financial statements were authorised for issue. Management
commenced renegotiation of the loan agreement terms in December 2014. As of the date
the financial statements were authorised for issue, the renegotiation was still in progress.
Compound financial instruments with multiple embedded derivatives
If an entity has issued an instrument that contains both a liability and an equity component
and the instrument has multiple embedded derivatives whose values are interdependent (such
as a callable convertible debt instrument), it shall disclose the existence of those features.

As part of the purchase agreement with the previous owner of MSAX, a contingent
consideration has been agreed. This consideration is dependent on the profit before tax of
MSAX during a 12-month period. The fair value at the acquisition date was $450,000,
which has been adjusted as of 31 December 2014 due to a significantly enhanced
performance compared to budget to a fair value of $685,000. The consideration is due
for final measurement and payment to the former shareholders on 18 October 2015. No
further significant change to the consideration is expected.

Other reserves
FRS 1.79.b
a) Fair value adjustment reserve

Fair value adjustment reserve represents the cumulative fair value changes, net of tax,
of available-for-sale financial assets until they are disposed of or impaired.
b) Asset revaluation reserve
The asset revaluation reserve represents increases in the fair value of freehold land
and buildings, net of tax, and decreases to the extent that such decrease relates to an
increase on the same asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income.
c) Statutory reserve fund

In accordance with the Foreign Enterprise Law applicable to the subsidiary in the
Peoples Republic of China (PRC), the subsidiary is required to make appropriation to a
Statutory Reserve Fund (SRF). At least 10% of the statutory profits after tax as
determined in accordance with the applicable PRC accounting standards and
regulations must be allocated to the SRF until the cumulative total of the SRF reaches
50% of the subsidiarys registered capital. Subject to approval from the relevant PRC
authorities, the SRF may be used to offset any accumulated losses or increase the
registered capital of the subsidiary. The SRF is not available for dividend distribution to
shareholders.
d) Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve represents exchange differences arising from
the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations whose functional
currencies are different from that of the Groups presentation currency.
e) Employee share option reserve

Employee share option reserve represents the equity-settled share options granted to
employees (Note 35). The reserve is made up of the cumulative value of services
received from employees recorded over the vesting period commencing from the grant
date of equity-settled share options, and is reduced by the expiry or exercise of the
share options.
f) Gain or loss on reissuance of treasury shares

This represents the gain or loss arising from purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of
treasury shares. No dividend may be paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or
otherwise) of the Companys assets (including any distribution of assets to members on
a winding up) may be made in respect of this reserve.
g) Equity component of convertible redeemable preference shares

This represents the residual amount of convertible redeemable preference shares
(CRPS) after deducting the fair value of the liability component. This amount is
presented net of transaction costs and deferred tax liability arising from the CRPS.

Senior executive option plan

Under the senior executive option plan (SEOP), share options are granted to senior
executives with more than 12 months service. The exercise price of the options is equal
to the market price of the shares on the date of grant. The options vest if and when the
Groups earnings per share amount increases by 12%, within three years from the date of
grant. If this increase is not met, the options will lapse. The contractual life of each option
granted is five years. There are no cash settlement alternatives. The Group does not have
a past practice of cash settlement for these share options.
FRS 102.45.a
General employee share option plan

All other employees are entitled to a grant of options, under the general employee share
option plan (GESP), once they have been in service for two years. The vesting of the
options is dependent on the total shareholder return (TSR) of the Group as compared to a
group of principal competitors. Employees must remain in service for a period of three
years from the date of grant. The exercise price of the options is equal to the market price
of the shares on the date of grant. The contractual life of the options is five years. There
are no cash settlement alternatives. The Group does not have a past practice of cash
settlement for these awards.
FRS 102.45.a
There has been no cancellation or modification to the SEOP and GEOP during both 2015
and 2014.

The fair value of share options granted under the GESP is estimated at the date of the
grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model, taking into account the terms and conditions
upon which the options were granted. The model simulates the TSR and compares it
against the group of principal competitors. It takes into account historic dividends, share
price fluctuation covariance of the Company and each entity of the group of competitors
to predict the distribution of relative share performance.

37. Commitments (continued)
Commentary:
An entity shall disclose total commitments it has made but not recognised at the reporting date
(including its share of commitments made jointly with other investors with joint control of a
joint venture) relating to its interests in joint ventures. Commitments are those that may give
rise to a future outflow of cash or other resources.
FRS 112.B18
Unrecognised commitments that may give rise to a future outflow of cash or other resources
include:
FRS 112.B19
(a) unrecognised commitments to contribute funding or resources as a result of, for example:
i.
the constitution or acquisition agreements of a joint venture (that, for example,

require an entity to contribute funds over a specific period).
ii. capital-intensive projects undertaken by a joint venture.

iii. unconditional purchase obligations, comprising procurement of equipment, inventory
or services that an entity is committed to purchasing from, or on behalf of, a joint
venture.
iv. unrecognised commitments to provide loans or other financial support to a joint
venture.
v. unrecognised commitments to contribute resources to a joint venture, such as assets
or services.
vi. other non-cancellable unrecognised commitments relating to a joint venture.
(b) Unrecognised commitments to acquire another partys ownership interest (or a portion of
that ownership interest) in a joint venture if a particular event occurs or does not occur in
the future.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases
The disclosure of future minimum lease payments according to time bands relates only to noncancellable operating leases. A non-cancellable lease is a lease that is cancellable only:
(a) upon the occurrence of some remote contingency;
(b) with the permission of the lessor;
(c) if the lessee enters into a new lease for the same or an equivalent asset with the same
lessor; or
(d) upon payment by the lessee of such an additional amount that, at inception of the lease,
continuation of the lease is reasonably certain.
A leasing arrangement where the lessee has the right to terminate lease by providing a written
notice to the lessor without incurring losses significant in comparison to the value of remaining
lease payments is generally not considered a non-cancellable lease and is not included in such
disclosure.

Contingencies
FRS 37.86
a) Contingent liabilities
Legal claim
On 30 November 2014, a customer has commenced an action against the Group in
respect of construction works claimed to be sub-standard. The estimated payout is
$250,000 should the action be successful. A trial date has not yet been set and
therefore it is not practicable to state the timing of any payment. The Group has been
advised by its legal counsel that it is possible, but not probable, that the action will
succeed and accordingly no provision for any liability has been made in these financial
statements.
FRS 11.45
Guarantees
The Group has provided the following guarantees at the end of the reporting period:
FRS 24.20.h
It has guaranteed its share of $20,000 (2013: $15,000) of the associates

contingent liabilities which have been incurred jointly with other investors.
It has guaranteed part of the bank overdraft of the associate to a maximum

amount of $300,000 (2013: nil), which it is severally liable for in the event of
default by the associate.
FRS 112.23.b
It has guaranteed its interest in its share of the joint ventures loan of $245,000
(2013: $240,000) (Note 30).
FRS 112.23.b
It has guaranteed to an unrelated party the performance of a contract for the joint
venture. No liability is expected to arise (2013: nil).
FRS 112.23.b
The Company has provided a corporate guarantee to a bank for a $5,400,000 (2013:
$5,400,000) loan (Note 30) taken by a subsidiary.
FRS 112.23.b
FRS 24.20.h
b) Contingent asset
a)
A legal claim for defamation of $500,000 was lodged against one of the Groups
competitors in October 2013. Based on advice from the legal counsel, the Group is
confident that the dispute will be settled in its favour.
b) The Group is claiming amounts (such as variations and additional works under the
construction contracts) and pending proceedings and disputes with clients. It is not
possible to reasonably determine the extent and timing of possible inflow of
economic benefits. These claims are therefore not recognised in these financial
statements.
FRS 37.89
FRS 11.45

39. Fair value of assets and liabilities
a) Fair value hierarchy
The Group categorises fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that is
dependent on the valuation inputs used as follows:
FRS 113.72
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or

liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date,
FRS 113.76
Level 2 Inputs other that quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and
Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Fair value measurements that use inputs of different hierarchy levels are categorised in
its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
FRS 113.81
FRS 113.86
FRS 113.73
Commentary:
An entity shall disclose information that helps users of its financial statements assess both of
the following:
FRS 113.91
(a) For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring
basis in the balance sheet after initial recognition, the valuation techniques and inputs
used to develop those measurements.
(b) For recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the
effect of the measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the
period.
To meet the objective above, an entity shall consider all the following:
(a) The level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements;
(b) How much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements;
(c) How much aggregation and disaggregation to undertake; and
(d) Whether users of financial statements need additional information to evaluate the
quantitative information disclosed.
If the disclosures provided in accordance with FRS 113 and other FRSs are insufficient to meet
the objectives above, an entity shall disclose additional information necessary to meet those
objectives.

c) Level 2 fair value measurements

The following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair
value measurement for assets and liabilities that are categorised within Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy:
Derivatives
Forward currency contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued using a
valuation technique with market observable inputs. The most frequently applied
valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value
calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of
counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and
forward rate curves.
Residential investment properties
The valuation of residential investment properties are based on comparable market
transactions that consider sales of similar properties that have been transacted in the
open market.

*The yield adjustments are made for any difference in the nature, location or condition of
the specific property.
For unquoted equity securities, a significant increase (decrease) in the expected

dividend yield would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A
significant increase (decrease) in discount for lack of marketability would result in a
significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A change in assumption used for
dividend yield may warrant a directionally opposite change in assumption for discount
for lack of marketability.
For unquoted debt securities, significant increases (decreases) in prepayment rates,
probability of default and loss severity in the event of default would result in a
significant lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the
assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally
similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally
opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.
For contingent consideration, a significant increase (decrease) in the probability of
meeting the contractual earnings target would result in a significantly higher (lower)
fair value measurement.
For freehold land and buildings and commercial investment properties, a significant
increase (decrease) in yield adjustments based on managements assumptions would
result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The following table shows the impact on the Level 3 fair value measurement of assets

In order to determine the effect of the above reasonably possible alternative

assumptions, the Group adjusted the following key unobservable inputs used in the
fair value measurement:
-
For unquoted equity securities, the Group adjusted the discount for lack of
marketability by increasing and decreasing the assumptions by 5% to 8% (2013:
6% to 9%) depending on the individual characteristics of the instrument.
For unquoted debt securities, the Group adjusted the probability of default and
loss severity assumptions used to calculate the credit valuation adjustment. The
adjustments made were to increase and decrease the assumptions by 6% (2013:
5%), which is within the range based on the Groups internal credit risk assessment
for the counterparties.
For contingent consideration for business combination, the Group adjusted the
probability of meeting the contractual earnings target by increasing and
decreasing assumption by 10% (2013: 10%).

iii) Valuation policies and procedures
FRS 113.93.g
The Groups Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who is assisted by the Head of Treasury
and senior controller (collectively referred to as the CFO office) oversees the
Groups financial reporting valuation process and is responsible for setting and
documenting the Groups valuation policies and procedures. In this regard, the CFO
office reports to the Groups Audit Committee.
For all significant financial reporting valuations using valuation models and significant
unobservable inputs, it is the Groups policy to engage external valuation experts who
possess the relevant credentials and knowledge on the subject of valuation, valuation
methodologies and FRS 113 fair value measurement guidance to perform the
valuation.
For valuations performed by external valuation experts, the appropriateness of the
valuation methodologies and assumptions adopted are reviewed along with the
appropriateness and reliability of the inputs (including those developed internally by
the Group) used in the valuations.
In selecting the appropriate valuation models and inputs to be adopted for each
valuation that uses significant non-observable inputs, external valuation experts are
requested to calibrate the valuation models and inputs to actual market transactions
(which may include transactions entered into by the Group with third parties as
appropriate) that are relevant to the valuation if such information are reasonably
available. For valuations that are sensitive to the unobservable inputs used, external
valuation experts are required, to the extent practicable to use a minimum of two
valuation approaches to allow for cross-checks.
Significant changes in fair value measurements from period to period are evaluated
for reasonableness. Key drivers of the changes are identified and assessed for
reasonableness against relevant information from independent sources, or internal
sources if necessary and appropriate.
The CFO office documents and reports its analysis and results of the external
valuations to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. The Audit Committee
performs a high-level independent review of the valuation process and results and
recommends if any revisions need to be made before presenting the results to the
Board of Directors for approval.

T Investment in equity securities carried at cost
Fair value information has not been disclosed for the Groups investments in equity
securities that are carried at cost because fair value cannot be measured reliably.
These equity securities represent ordinary shares in an Israeli high-technology
company that is not quoted on any market and does not have any comparable industry
peer that is listed. In addition, the variability in the range of reasonable fair value
estimates derived from valuation techniques is significant. The Group does not intend
to dispose of this investment in the foreseeable future. The Group intends to eventually
dispose of this investment through sale to institutional investors.
FRS 107.30.a-d

Commentary:
Disclosures in tabular format

An entity shall present the quantitative disclosures required by FRS 113 in a tabular format
unless another format is more appropriate.
Classes of assets and liabilities
An entity shall determine appropriate classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the
following:
FRS 113.99
FRS 113.94
(a) The nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability; and
(b) The level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is
categorised.
The number of classes may need to be greater for fair value measurements categorised
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because those measurements have a greater
degree of uncertainty and subjectivity. Determining appropriate classes of assets and
liabilities for which disclosures about fair value measurements should be provided
requires judgement. A class of assets and liabilities will often require greater
disaggregation than the line items presented in the balance sheet. If another FRS
specifies the class for an asset or a liability, an entity may use that class in providing the
disclosures required in FRS 113 if that class meets the requirements in this paragraph.
In this illustration, the current use of the non-financial assets does not differ from their highest
and best use. If for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, the highest and best
use of a non-financial asset differs from its current use, an entity shall disclose the fact and
why the non-financial asset is being used in a manner that differs from its highest and best use.
In this illustration, the Groups commercial properties are categorised within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy as the properties fair values are determined based on comparable market
transactions adjusted for significant unobservable inputs such as yield adjustments relating to
nature, location and condition of the specific property.
FRS 113.93.i
In this illustration, the Groups residential investment properties are categorised within Level 2
of the fair value hierarchy as the properties fair values are determined solely based on
observable inputs other than quoted prices.
In this illustration, the Group does not have any liability measured at fair value and issued with
an inseparable third-party credit enhancement.
For a liability measured at fair value and issued with an inseparable third-party credit
enhancement, an issuer shall disclose the existence of that credit enhancement and whether it
is reflected in the fair value measurement of the liability.
FRS 113.98

Transfers between fair value hierarchy

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2
FRS 113 requires disclosures of the amount of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of
the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities held at the end of the reporting period that
are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the reasons for those transfers. Transfers
into each level shall be disclosed and discussed separately from transfers out of each level.
FRS 113.93.c
In this illustration, there were no assets or liabilities transferred between Level 1 and Level 2.
Illustrative disclosure if an entity has transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and
Level 2.
The following table shows transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy

The above financial assets were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 as they were
delisted from the stock exchange and therefore ceased to be actively traded during the
year and fair values were consequently measured using valuation techniques and using
observable market inputs.
Transfers into or out of Level 3
FRS 113 requires disclosures of the amount of any transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy, the reasons for those transfers and the entitys policy for determining when
transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred. Transfers into Level 3 shall be
disclosed and discussed separately from transfers out of Level 3.
In this illustration, there were no assets or liabilities transferred from Level 1 and Level 2 to
Level 3.
Illustrative disclosure if there were transfers of assets or liabilities into Level 3.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2014, the Group transferred certain
financial instruments from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying
amount of the total financial assets transferred was $XXX.
The reason for the transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 is that inputs to the valuation
models for the other debt securities ceased to be observable. Prior to transfer, the fair
value of the instruments was determined using observable market transactions or
binding broker quotes for the same or similar instruments. Since the transfer, these
instruments have been valued using valuation models incorporating significant non
market-observable inputs.
Illustrative disclosure if there were transfers of assets or liabilities out of Level 3.
The Group transferred an unquoted equity security from Level 3 to Level 1 of the fair
value hierarchy. The carrying amount of the total financial assets transferred was
$XXX.
The security was transferred from Level 3 into Level 1 as it was listed on the stock
exchange during the financial year. Prior to the transfer, the fair value of the security
was determined using valuation model incorporating significant non market-observable
inputs. Since the transfer, the fair value of the security is determined based on market
price quoted in the stock exchange.
FRS 113.93.e.iv

In this illustration, there has been no change in valuation technique for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorised within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy. If there has been a change in valuation technique (e.g. changing from a market

pricing models;
(c)
the process for analysing changes in fair value measurements from period to period;
(d)
how the entity determined that third-party information, such as broker quotes or pricing
services, used in the fair value measurement was developed in accordance with FRS 113;
and
(e)
the methods used to develop and substantiate the unobservable inputs used in a fair
value measurement.
It is important to note that the illustration on valuation policies and procedures for
recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements categorised within Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy is based on certain assumed facts regarding circumstances
surrounding XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited. The valuation policies and procedures
of other entities may be different and disclosures would have to be customised in the
light of specific facts and circumstances applicable to the entity.
In this illustration, investment properties are carried at fair value. For any investment
properties recorded at cost, FRS 40 requires disclosure about fair value. Please refer to
commentary no.2 of Note 2.8 Investment properties.
Where investment properties are carried at cost for which fair value are disclosed, FRS 113.97
requires the disclosures of
FRS 113.97
the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are
categorised in their entirety (Level 1, 2 or 3),
FRS 113.93.b
a description of the valuation technique(s) and inputs used in the fair value measurement.
If there has been a change in valuation technique, the entity shall disclose the reason for
making it,
FRS 113.93.d

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
FRS 107.25 requires the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities to be
disclosed in a way that permits it to be compared with its carrying amount. However,
disclosures of fair value are not required:
-
When the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value (e.g., short-term
trade and other receivables and payables, and long-term loans that are re-priced to market
rate);
For an investment in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active
market, or derivatives linked to such equity instruments, that is measured at cost in
accordance with FRS 39 because its fair value cannot be measured reliably; or
For a contract containing a discretionary participation feature (as described in FRS 104) if
the fair value of that feature cannot be measured reliably.
FRS 107.25 and 29
In this illustration, in addition to the above exemptions, the comparison between carrying
amount and fair value of financial assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value (e.g., held for
trading investments and derivatives) has not been disclosed as these assets are carried at fair
value.
Financial instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured
FRS 107 requires the disclosure of fair value information for financial instruments whose fair
value cannot be reliably measured to include disclosure of whether and how the entity intends
to dispose of such financial instruments.
FRS 107.20.d
If financial instruments whose fair value previously could not be reliably measured are
derecognised, that fact, their carrying amounts at the time of de-recognition, and the amount
of gain or loss recognised shall be disclosed.
FRS 107.30.e

40. Financial risk management objectives and policies
FRS 107.7 and 31
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, foreign currency risk and market price risk. The board of directors
reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are
executed by the Chief Financial Officer, Head of Treasury and Head of Credit Control. The
Audit Committee provides independent oversight to the effectiveness of the risk
management process. It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial
year, the Groups policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be
undertaken.
FRS 107.31-33
and IG15
The following sections provide details regarding the Groups and Companys exposure to
the above-mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the
management of these risks.
Commentary:
In this illustration, the entity is exposed to all credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign
currency risk and market price risk.
FRS 107.31, 33
and IG17
Example illustrative financial risk management objectives and policies for a non-complex trading
entity which is exposed mainly to credit risk and liquidity risk.
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 and liquidity risk.
The following sections provide details regarding the Group and Company's exposure to the
above-mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the
management of these risks.
Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments
FRS 107 requires an entity to disclose qualitative and quantitative information that enables
users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from
financial instruments to which the entity is exposed at the reporting date, including the
entitys policies and processes for accepting, measuring, monitoring and controlling such
risks. In addition, an entity is required to disclose any change in the qualitative information
from the previous period and explain the reasons for the change.
The disclosures in response to FRS 107 illustrated in this note are based on assumed
circumstances of XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited and may not be applicable or
relevant to other entities. Each entity should customise the information disclosed
according to the specific circumstances, financial risk exposures, and risk management
policies and procedures relevant to the entity.
FRS 107.AGB6
Alternative approaches of disclosure
Decentralised disclosures
FRS 107.33.c
In this illustration, most of the information regarding the nature and extent of risks arising
from financial instruments required by FRS 107.31-42, has been disclosed in one centralised
note. Alternatively, an entity may disclose such information in the respective balance sheet
item notes where appropriate.

40.
Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

Incorporating disclosures by cross reference

The disclosures of information regarding the nature and extent of risks arising from financial
instruments may instead be incorporated in the financial statements by cross-reference from
the financial statements to some other statement, such as management commentary or risk
report, that is available to users of the financial statements on the same terms as the financial
statements and at the same time. Without the information incorporated by cross-reference,
the financial statements are incomplete.
In this illustration, theres no change to the Groups exposure to risk arising from financial
instruments. FRS 107 requires disclosures of changes from previous period for
(a) exposures to risk and how they arise; (or)
(b) its objective, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to
measure the risks from the previous period.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should
a counterparty default on its obligations. The Groups and the Companys exposure to
credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets
(including investment securities, cash and short-term deposits and derivatives), the
Group and the Company minimise credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit
rating counterparties.
FRS 107.33.a-b and

IG15
The Groups 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. It is the Groups policy that all customers who wish to
trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition,
receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Groups
exposure to bad debts is not significant. For transactions that do not occur in the
country of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without
the approval of the Head of Credit Control.
Excessive risk concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business
activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that
would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by
changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative
sensitivity of the Groups performance to developments affecting a particular industry.
FRS 107.33.a-b
FRS 107.IG15.c
In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Groups policies and procedures
include specific guidelines to focus on maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified
concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly. Selective
hedging is used within the Group to manage risk concentrations at both the relationship
and industry levels. The Group does not apply hedge accounting.
Exposure to credit risk
At the end of the reporting period, the Groups and the Companys maximum exposure
to credit risk is represented by:
-
A nominal amount of $565,000 (2013: $255,000) relating to a corporate

guarantee provided by the Group to the banks on associates and joint ventures
loans
A nominal amount of $5,400,000 (2013: $5,400,000) relating to a corporate

guarantee provided by the Company to a bank on a subsidiarys bank loan
Information regarding credit enhancements for trade and other receivables is disclosed
in Note 21.

a) Credit risk (continued)
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 ongoing basis. The credit risk
concentration profile of the Groups trade receivables at the end of the reporting
period is as follows:

11% (2013: 9%) of the Groups trade and other receivables were due from related
parties while almost all of the Companys receivables were balances with related
parties.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
FRS 107.34.a,
34.c and AGB8
FRS 107.36.c
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are with
creditworthy debtors with good payment record with the Group. Cash and short-term
deposits, investment securities and derivatives 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
FRS 107.37
Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed
in Note 21 (Trade and other receivables) and Note 22 (Investment securities).

a) Credit risk (continued)
Commentary:
Credit risk relating to financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
In this illustration, no financial instrument has been designated as financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. If an entity has designated a loan or receivable or
financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss, FRS 107 requires further disclosures
regarding the maximum credit risk exposures of such receivables and the amount by which
any related credit derivatives or similar instruments mitigate that credit risk exposure;
changes in fair value during the period and cumulatively, of such loan or receivable or financial
liabilities that is attributable to changes in credit risk (including the methods of determining
such fair value changes) and of any related credit derivatives or similar instruments; and the
difference between the financial liabilitys carrying amount and the contractual repayment
amount.
FRS 107.9-11
Disclosure of maximum exposure to credit risk
For financial instruments where the carrying amount best represents the maximum exposure
to credit risk, the disclosure of the maximum exposure to credit risk is not required.
FRS 107.36.a
Quantitative disclosures
FRS 107 requires the disclosure of summary quantitative data about an entitys exposure to
financial risk (e.g., credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk) that is based on the information
provided internally to key management personnel of the entity (as defined in FRS 24, Related
Party Disclosures), e.g., the board of directors or CEO. As such, the disclosures would be
defined by the actual information used by management in managing financial risks, which may
be different from those disclosed in this illustration.
FRS 107.34.a
In addition, if the above-mentioned quantitative data disclosed as at the end of the reporting
period are unrepresentative of the entitys exposure to risk during the period, the entity shall
provide further information that is representative e.g., an entity might disclosed the highest,
lowest and average amount of risk to which it was exposed during the period to meet the
disclosure requirement.
FRS 107.35 and

IG20
The identification of concentrations of credit risk requires judgement taking into account the
circumstances of the entity. Apart from country and industry sectors, other measures of
credit risk concentrations may include credit rating or other measures of credit quality, limited
number of individual counterparties, or groups of closely related counterparties.
FRS 107.AGB8 and

IG18

b) 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 Groups and the Companys
exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial
assets and liabilities. The Groups and the Companys objective is to maintain a balance
between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit
facilities.
FRS 107.33.a-b,
39.c and IG5
The Groups and the Companys liquidity risk management policy is that not more than
20% (2013: 20%) of loans and borrowings (including overdrafts and convertible
redeemable preference shares) should mature in the next one year period, and that to
maintain sufficient liquid financial assets and stand-by credit facilities with three
different banks. At the end of the reporting period, approximately 8% (2013: 15%) of
the Groups loans and borrowings will mature in less than one year based on the
carrying amount reflected in the financial statements, excluding discontinued
operation. None (2013: none) of the Companys loans and borrowings will mature in
less than one year at the end of the reporting period.
FRS 107.33.b, 39.c

and AGB11F.e
The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and
concluded it to be low. Access to sources of funding is sufficiently available and debt
maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.

Other factors to consider in disclosing liquidity risk
The application guidance in FRS 107 illustrates the other factors that an entity might also
consider disclosing which include, but are not limited to, whether the entity:
(a)
has committed borrowing facilities (e.g., commercial paper facilities) or other lines of
credit (e.g., stand-by credit facilities) that it can access to meet liquidity needs;
(b)
holds deposits at central banks to meet liquidity needs;
(c)
has very diverse funding sources;
(d)
has significant concentrations of liquidity risk in either its assets or its funding sources;
(e)
has internal control processes and contingency plans for managing liquidity risk;
(f)
has instruments that include accelerated repayment terms (e.g., on the downgrade of
the entitys credit rating);
(g)
has instruments that could require the posting of collateral (e.g., margin calls for
derivatives);
(h)
has instruments that allows the entity to choose whether it settles its financial liabilities
by delivering cash (or another financial asset) or by delivering its own shares; or
(i)
has instruments that are subject to master netting agreements.
FRS 107.AGB11F
Maturity analysis for financial liabilities
In this illustration, certain undiscounted payments presented differ from the carrying amount
included in the balance sheet because the balance sheet amounts are based on discounted
cash flows.
FRS 107.AGB11D
When the amount payable is not fixed, the maturity analysis is determined by reference to the
conditions existing at the reporting date. For example, when the amount payable varies with
changes in an index, the amount disclosed may be based on the level of the index at the
reporting date.
The number of time bands illustrated is only an example. An entity should use its judgement
to determine the number of time bands that is suitable for the entity.
When the counterparty has a choice of when an amount is paid, the liability is included on the
basis of the earliest date on which the entity can be required to pay. For example, financial
liabilities that the entity can be required to repay on demand are included in the earliest time
band.
FRS 107.AGB11


Maturities of financial assets held for liquidity purposes
FRS 107.39.c requires an entity to describe how it manages the liquidity risk inherent in the
items disclosed in the quantitative disclosures required in FRS 107.39.a and b. If financial
assets are readily saleable or expected to generate cash inflows to meet cash outflows on
financial liabilities and if that information is necessary to enable users of its financial
statements to evaluate the nature and extent of liquidation risk. An entity shall disclose a
maturity analysis of financial assets it holds for managing liquidity risks.
FRS 107.AGB11E
Quantitative liquidity risk disclosures
FRS 107 specified minimum liquidity risk disclosures, i.e., the contractual maturity analysis of
financial liabilities, required by FRS 107.39.
FRS 107 permits derivative liabilities to be excluded from the paragraph 39 maturity analysis,
unless the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash
flows. The application guidance cites an interest rate swap designated in a cash flow hedging
relationship as an example of such an essential case. Given that the hedged cash flows are
required to be highly probable, the swap would normally be expected to be held to maturity.
For those derivatives included in the contractual maturity analysis, the guidance still requires
gross cash flows to be disclosed for those derivatives which will involve a gross exchange of
cash flows, such as currency swaps. Below is an illustration of such a presentation:

Financial guarantees issued
FRS 107 requires issued financial guarantee contracts to be recorded in the contractual
maturity analysis based on the maximum amount guaranteed. They are to be allocated to the
earliest date they can be drawn down, irrespective of whether it is likely that those
guarantees will be drawn or the amount that is expected to be paid.
FRS 107.AGB11C.c

c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups and
the Companys financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Groups and the Companys exposure to interest rate risk arises
primarily from their loans and borrowings, interest-bearing loans given to related
parties and investments in debt securities. The Group does not hedge its investment in
fixed rate debt securities as they have active secondary or resale markets to ensure
liquidity. The Companys loans at floating rate given to related parties form a natural
hedge for its non-current floating rate bank loan. All of the Groups and the Companys
financial assets and liabilities at floating rates are contractually re-priced at intervals of
less than 6 months (2013: less than 6 months) from the end of the reporting period.
FRS 107.33.a- b
and IG16
The Groups policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and floating rate
debts. The Groups policy is to keep 40% to 70% (2013: 40% to 70%) of its loans and
borrowings at fixed rates of interest. To manage this mix in a cost-efficient manner, the
Group enters into interest rate swaps. At the end of the reporting period, after taking
into account the effect of an interest rate swap, approximately 62% (2013: 58%) of the
Groups borrowings are at fixed rates of interest.
FRS 107.33.b
and 34.a
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk

At the end of the reporting period, if SGD interest rates had been 75 (2013: 75)
basis points lower/higher with all other variables held constant, the Groups profit
before tax would have been $20,000 (2013: $18,000) higher/lower, arising mainly as
a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings,
lower/higher interest income from floating rate loans to related parties and
lower/higher positive fair value of an interest rate swap, and the Groups other reserve
in other comprehensive income would have been $30,000 (2013: $30,000)
higher/lower, arising mainly as a result of an increase/decrease in the fair value of
fixed rate debt securities classified as available-for-sale. The assumed movement in
basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable
market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility as in prior years.
FRS 107.40,
IG36 and AGB18

c) Interest rate risk (continued)
Commentary:
Sources of interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises on interest-bearing financial instruments recognised in the balance
sheet (e.g., loans and receivables and debt instruments issued) and on some financial
instruments not recognised in the balance sheet (e.g., some loan commitments).
FRS 107.AGB22
Sensitivity analysis for market risk
FRS 107 requires disclosure of sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk to which an
entity is exposed at the reporting date, showing how profit or loss and equity would have been
affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that were reasonably possible at that date.
These analyses shall be provided for the whole of an entitys business. However, an entity may
also drill down to provide different types of sensitivity analysis for different classes of
financial instruments.
FRS 107.40.a
The sensitivity analysis should be based on changes in the risk variable that were reasonably
possible at the reporting date having considered the economic environments in which the
entity operates, the type of market risk concerned and the time frame over which the
assessment is being made i.e., the period until the entity will next present the analysis e.g.,
next annual reporting period. A reasonably possible change should not include remote or
worst case scenarios or stress test.
FRS 107.AGB19 and

IG35
An entity should also disclose the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity
analysis, and changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used,
including the reasons for such changes.
FRS 107.40.b and c
Instead of the sensitivity analysis illustrated, FRS 107 permits an entity to use a sensitivity
analysis that reflects interdependencies between risk variables, such as a value-at-risk
methodology, if it uses this analysis to manage its exposure to financial risks. This applies
even if such a methodology measures only the potential for loss and does not measure the
potential for gain. In such cases, the entity should also disclose an explanation of the method
and objective of the analysis (e.g., whether the model relies on Monte Carlo simulations), the
main parameters and assumptions used (e.g., the holding period and confidence level), and
limitations that may result in the information disclosed not fully reflecting the fair value of
assets and liabilities involved.
FRS 107.41 and

AGB20
When the sensitivity analyses disclosed are unrepresentative of a risk inherent in a financial
instrument (e.g., because the end of the reporting period exposure does not reflect exposure
during the financial year), the entity shall disclose that fact and the reason it believes the
sensitivity analyses are unrepresentative, including additional disclosures regarding the risk
inherent in that financial instrument.
FRS 107.42 and

IG37-40
In this illustration, company-level sensitivity analysis has not been disclosed because
according to the assumed scenario, XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited is an investment holding
company with no significant net exposure to market price risk. If this is not the case, the entity
should provide company-level disclosures as appropriate.

c) Interest rate risk (continued)
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
In this illustration, the interest rate risk sensitivity analysis has been performed for the effect of
a change in SGD interest rates because it is relevant to the interest rate risk exposure of XYZ
Holdings (Singapore) Limited. An entity might disclose a sensitivity analysis for interest rate
risk for each currency in which the entity has material exposure to interest rate risk.
Illustrative tabular disclosure of interest rate risk sensitivity analysis where more than one
currency is involved:
The table below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest
rates with all other variables held constant, of the Groups profit before tax (through the
impact on interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings) and the Groups equity
(through the impact on other reserves for fixed rate debt securities classified as availablefor-sale).

d) 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, Malaysian Ringgit (Ringgit) and Renminbi (RMB). The foreign
currencies in which these transactions are denominated are mainly United States
Dollars (USD). Approximately 23% (2013: 25%) of the Groups sales are denominated in
foreign currencies whilst almost 80% (2013: 83%) of costs are denominated in the
respective functional currencies of the Group entities. The Groups trade receivable and
trade payable balances at the end of the reporting period have similar exposures.
FRS 107.33.a
and 34.a
The Group and the Company also hold cash and short-term deposits denominated in
foreign currencies for working capital purposes. At the end of the reporting period,
such foreign currency balances are mainly in USD.
FRS 107.33.a
and 34.a
The Group requires all of its operating entities to use forward currency contracts to
eliminate the currency exposures on any individual transactions in excess of $100,000
for which payment is anticipated more than one month after the Group has entered
into a firm commitment for a sale or purchase. The forward currency contracts must be
in the same currency as the hedged item. It is the Groups policy not to enter into
forward contracts until a firm commitment is in place. It is the Groups policy to
negotiate the terms of the forward currency contracts to match the terms of the firm
commitment to maximise hedge effectiveness.
At 31 December 2014, the Group had hedged 75% (2013: 68%) and 70% (2013: 65%)
of its foreign currency denominated sales and purchases respectively, for which firm
commitments existed at the end of the reporting period, extending to March 2015
(2013: March 2014). The Group does not apply hedge accounting for such foreign
currency denominated sales and purchases.
FRS 107.33.b
FRS 107.34.a
The Group is also exposed to currency translation risk arising from its net
investments in foreign operations, including Malaysia, Peoples Republic of China (PRC)
and Vietnam. The Groups investment in its Vietnam subsidiary is hedged by a USD
denominated bank loan, which mitigates structural currency exposure arising from the
subsidiarys net assets. The Groups net investments in Malaysia and PRC are not
hedged as currency positions in Ringgit and RMB are considered to be long-term in
nature.
Sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Groups profit before tax to a
reasonably possible change in the USD, RMB and Ringgit exchange rates against the
respective functional currencies of the Group entities, with all other variables held
constant.

d) Foreign currency risk (continued)
Commentary:
Disclosure of amounts denominated in foreign currencies
The disclosure of exposures to foreign currency amounts is required under the disclosure
principles of FRS 107.31 (nature and extent of risks) as well as the specific requirement in FRS
107.34 to disclose summary quantitative data about the entity's exposure to risks (including
foreign currency risks) arising from financial instruments. In this illustration, most of the
information regarding foreign currency risk exposures is presented in Note 40(d), Note 21,
Note 27 and Note 31. These disclosures include a mixture of quantitative data that are
measured in dollar amounts (e.g., cash and short-term deposits amount denominated in foreign
currency) as well as data that are not measured in dollar amounts, e.g., the exposures arising
from trade receivables are represented by the percentage of total trade receivables
denominated in foreign currencies.
FRS 107.31 and 34
Each entity should customise the information disclosed according to its specific circumstances.
Please refer to commentary no. 3 of Note 40(c) (Interest rate risk)
According to FRS 107, foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are
denominated in a foreign currency i.e., in a currency other than the functional currency in
which they are measured. For the purpose of FRS 107, currency risk does not arise from
financial instruments that are non-monetary items or from financial instruments denominated
in the functional currency. Currency translation risk arising from its net investments in foreign
operations does not fall within the definition of foreign currency risk according to FRS 107.
In the scenario illustrated, there is no impact (other than those affecting net profit) to equity
arising from exposures to currency risk as defined by FRS 107.
Illustrative disclosure if there are impact to equity arising from exposures to currency risk:
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Groups profit before tax and equity to
a reasonably possible change in the USD, RMB and Ringgit exchange rates against the

e) Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups
financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than
interest or exchange rates). The Group is exposed to equity price risk arising from its
investment in quoted equity securities. These securities are quoted on the Singapore
Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) in Singapore and are classified as held
for trading or available-for-sale financial assets. The Group does not have exposure to
commodity price risk.
The Groups objective is to manage investment returns and equity price risk using a mix
of investment grade shares with steady dividend yield and non-investment grade
shares with higher volatility. The Groups policy is to limit its interest in the latter type
of investments to 25% (2013: 25%) of its entire equity portfolio. Any deviation from
this policy is required to be approved by the CEO and audit committee. At the end of
the reporting period, 24% (2013: 19%) of the Groups equity portfolio consist of noninvestment grade shares of companies operating in PRC and Singapore, while the
remaining portion of the equity portfolio comprise investment grade shares included in
the Straits Times Index (STI).
FRS 107.33.a
FRS 107.33.b
and 34.a
Sensitivity analysis for equity price risk

At the end of the reporting period, if the STI had been 2% (2013: 2%) higher/lower with
all other variables held constant, the Groups profit before tax would have been
$88,000 (2013: $78,000) higher/lower, arising as a result of higher/lower fair value
gains on held for trading investments in equity instruments, and the Groups other
comprehensive income would have been $66,000 (2013: $77,000) higher/lower,
arising as a result of an increase/decrease in the fair value of equity securities
classified as available-for-sale.
Commentary:
Please refer to commentary no. 3 of Note 40(c) (Interest rate risk)
In this illustration, the sensitivity analysis for equity price risk has been performed by
analysing the effect of a reasonably possible change in STI on the fair value of the equity
instruments held by the Group, as it is assumed that all the quoted equity securities held by
the Group are listed in Singapore.

41. Capital management
FRS 1.134
Capital includes debt and equity items as disclosed in the table below.
FRS 1.135.a.i
The primary objective of the Groups capital management is to ensure that it maintains a
strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and
maximise shareholder value.
FRS 1.135.a
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 adjust
the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended 31
December 2014 and 31 December 2013.
FRS 1.135.a and c
As disclosed in Note 34(c), a subsidiary of the Group is required by the Foreign Enterprise
Law of the PRC to contribute to and maintain a non-distributable statutory reserve fund
whose utilisation is subject to approval by the relevant PRC authorities. This externally
imposed capital requirement has been complied with by the above-mentioned subsidiary
for the financial years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital
plus net debt. The Groups policy is to keep the gearing ratio between 20% and 40%. The
Group includes within net debt, loans and borrowings (excluding convertible redeemable
preference shares), trade and other payables, less cash and short-term deposits excluding
discontinued operations. Capital includes convertible redeemable preference shares,
equity attributable to the owners of the Company less the fair value adjustment reserve
and the abovementioned restricted statutory reserve fund.

41. Capital management (continued)

Commentary:
Disclosure of capital management information according to entity specific circumstances
FRS 1 requires the disclosure of information (as provided to key management personnel) that
enables users of financial statements to evaluate the entitys objectives, policies and processes
for managing capital, including (but not limited to) a description and summary quantitative data
of what it manages as capital, the presence and impact of externally imposed capital
requirements and how the entity is meeting its objectives for managing capital etc. This note as
well as FRS 1.IG10 provide illustrative examples of such disclosures of an entity that is not a
regulated financial institution.
FRS 1.134 and

135
It is important to note that the illustration provided in this note is based on certain
assumed facts regarding circumstances surrounding XYZ Holdings (Singapore) Limited
and its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. For example, a gearing
ratio with a specific measurement basis has been disclosed as this is the measure used to
monitor capital. The Group considers both capital and net debt as relevant components of
funding, hence part of its capital management. Other entities may use different methods
to monitor capital or use gearing ratios with different measurement bases. Disclosures
would have to be customised in the light of specific facts and circumstances applicable to
the entity.
Also, an entity may manage capital in a number of ways and be subject to a number of different
capital requirements. For example, a conglomerate may include entities that undertake
insurance and banking activities, and those entities may also operate in several jurisdictions.
When an aggregate disclosure of capital requirements and how capital is managed would not
provide useful information or distorts a financial statement users understanding of an entitys
capital resources, the entity shall disclose separate information for each capital requirement to
which the entity is subject to.
FRS 1.136
Externally imposed capital requirement
In this illustration, it is assumed that the externally imposed capital requirement has been
complied with. When an entity has not complied with externally imposed capital requirements,
the consequences of such non-compliance shall be disclosed. FRS 1.IG 11 has an example that
illustrates the application of FRS 1.135.e when an entity has not complied with externally
imposed capital requirement during the period.
FRS 1.135.e

42. Segment information
FRS 108.20, 21.a
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their
products and services, and has four reportable segments as follows:
FRS 108.22
I. The electronic components segment is a supplier of digital and analogue electronic

components for consumer and industrial-grade electronics manufacturers. It offers
products and services in the areas of common and specialised electronic components,
energy efficiency, and electrical architecture.
II. The property segment is in the business of constructing, developing and leasing out of
residential and commercial properties. This reportable segment has been formed by
aggregating the property construction/development operating segment and the
investment properties operating segment, which are regarded by management to
exhibit similar economic characteristics.
FRS 108.12
III. The corporate segment is involved in Group-level corporate services, treasury

functions and investments in marketable securities.
IV. The fire prevention equipment and services segment produces and installs
extinguishers, fire prevention equipment and fire retardant fabrics. This segment has
been classified as a discontinued operation during the financial year (Note 11).
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.
FRS 108.27
Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arms length basis in a manner
similar to transactions with third parties.

Information about segment profit or loss
In addition to a measure of profit or loss and total assets for each reportable segments, entities
are required to disclose the following about each reportable segment if the specified amounts
are included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision
maker (CODM), or are otherwise regularly provided to the CODM, even if not included in that
measure of segment profit or loss:
(a) Revenues from external customers
(b) Revenues from transactions with other operating segments of the same entity
(c) Interest revenue
(d) Interest expense*
(e) Depreciation and amortisation
(f) Material items of income and expense disclosed in accordance with paragraph 86 of FRS 1
Presentation of Financial Statements
(g) The entitys interest in profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for by the
equity method
(h) Income tax expense or income*
(i) Material non-cash items other than depreciation and amortisation
* In this illustration, interest expense and income tax expense have not been disclosed by
segment as these items are managed on a group basis, and are not provided to the CODM at
the operating segment level.
FRS 108.23

FRS 108 does not provide specific disclosure requirements for an operating segment classified as
discontinued operation. An entity is therefore not required to provide such segment information
as long as the classification criteria held for sale is met. It is however allowed to continue to
present segment information as long as the definition as operating segment is met.
FRS 108.13
In this illustration, an entire reportable segment has been classified as discontinued operation in
the current period. As this operating segment still meet the quantitative thresholds for separate
reporting, it continues to be reported in the segment information.
Interest income
An entity shall report interest revenue separately from interest expense for each reportable
segment unless a majority of the segments revenues are from interest and the CODM relies
primarily on net interest revenue to assess the performance of the segment and make decisions
about resources to be allocated to the segment. In that situation, an entity may report that
segments interest revenue net of its interest expense and disclose that it has done so.
FRS 108.23
Disclosure of operating segment assets and segment liabilities
Disclosure of operating segment assets and liabilities are required only where such measures are
provided to the CODM.
FRS 108.23
Explanation of measurements of segment profit or loss, segment assets and segment liabilities
If not apparent from the disclosures of reconciliations in this note, entities are required to disclose
further information regarding the nature of differences between the measurements of segment
profit or loss, segment assets, segment liabilities, and the entitys profit or loss before tax and
discontinued operations, assets and liabilities. Those differences could include accounting policies
and policies for allocation of centrally incurred costs, jointly used assets, jointly utilised liabilities
that are necessary for an understanding of the reported segment information.
FRS 108.27.b-d
The following should also be disclosed, where applicable:

-
The nature of any changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to
determine reported segment profit or loss and the effect, if any, of those changes on the
measure of segment profit or loss.
The nature and effect of any asymmetrical allocations to reportable segments. For example,
an entity might allocate depreciation expense to a segment without allocating the related
depreciable assets to that segment.
FRS 108.27.e-f

Information about segment profit or loss
An entity should disclose:

(a) Revenues from external customers (i) attributed to the entitys country of domicile; and (ii)
attributed to all foreign countries in total from which the entity derives revenues. If
revenues from external customers attributed to an individual foreign country are material,
those revenues should be disclosed separately. An entity should disclose the basis for

On 14 January 2015, a building of the Group, with net carrying value of $900,000, was
severely damaged by fire and inventories with net carrying value of $157,000 were lost.
It is expected that insurance proceeds will fall short of the costs of rebuilding and loss of
inventories by $250,000. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014
have not been adjusted for the financial effect of this incident.
On 15 February 2015, the Company completed the disposal of one of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Good Fire Prevention Pte Ltd (GFP), which has been classified as discontinued
operation (Note 11) as at 31 December 2014, for a cash consideration of $150,000.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Hedge accounting
The Group applies hedge accounting for certain hedging relationships which qualify for
hedge accounting.
FRS 107.21
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:
fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment
FRS 39.86.a
cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either
attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a
highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised
firm commitment; or
FRS 39.86.b
hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
At the inception of a hedging relationship, the Group formally designates and documents
the hedging relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation
includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the
nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes
in the hedging instruments fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged
items fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to
be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are
assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective
throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.
FRS 39.86.c
FRS 39.88
Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
Fair value hedges
The change in the fair value of a hedging derivative is recognised in profit or loss in
finance costs. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk
hedged is recorded as a part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also
recognised in profit or loss in finance costs.
FRS 39.89
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortised cost, the adjustment to
carrying value is amortised through profit or loss over the remaining term to of the hedge
using the effective interest rate method. Effective interest rate amortisation may begin as
soon as an adjustment exists and no later than when the hedged item ceases to be
adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedged
item is derecognised, the unamortised fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
FRS 39.92
When an unrecognised firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent

cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk
is recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in profit
or loss.
FRS 39.93
The Group has an interest rate swap that is used as a hedge for the exposure of changes in
the fair value of its X% fixed rate secured loan. See Note X for more details.
Appendix A-2
Hedge accounting

hedge accounting: (continued)

X.X

Hedge accounting (continued)
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in
other comprehensive income in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion
is recognised immediately in profit or loss in other expenses.
FRS 39.95
The Group uses forward currency contracts as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency
risk in forecasted transactions and firm commitments, as well as forward commodity
contracts for its exposure to volatility in the commodity prices. The ineffective portion
relating to foreign currency contracts is recognised in finance costs and the ineffective
portion relating to commodity contracts is recognised in other operating income. Refer to
Note X for more details.
Amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss when
the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or
financial expense is recognised or when a forecast sale occurs. Where the hedged item is
the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognised as other
comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial
asset or liability.
FRS 39.97, 98
and 100
If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the

cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss. If
the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or
rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in other comprehensive income remains in other comprehensive income until
the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss.
FRS 39.101
Hedges of a net investment

Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item
that is accounted for as part of the net investment, are accounted for in a way similar to
cash flow hedges. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective
portion of the hedge are recognised as other comprehensive income while any gains or
losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in profit or loss. On disposal of the
foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses recorded in equity is
transferred to profit or loss.
The Group uses a loan as a hedge of its exposure to foreign exchange risk on its
investments in foreign subsidiaries. Refer to Note X for more details.

Fair value hedges
At 31 December 2014, the Group had an interest rate swap agreement in place with a
notional amount of USDXXX ($XXX) (2013: nil) whereby the Group receives a fixed rate of
interest of X.XX% and pays a variable rate equal to LIBOR+X% on the notional amount. The
swap is being used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of its X.XX% secured
loan.
FRS 107.22
FRS 107.24.a
The decrease in fair value of the interest rate swap of $XXX (2013: nil) has been
recognised in finance costs and offset with a similar gain on the bank borrowings. The
ineffectiveness recognised in 2014 was immaterial.
Commentary:

FRS 107 requires separate disclosures of the amount of gain or loss on the hedging instrument
and on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge relationship.

Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency forward contracts measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of forecast sales in the
United States and forecast purchases in the United Kingdom. These forecast transactions
are highly probable, and they comprise about 25% of the Groups total expected sales and
about 65% of its total expected purchases.
FRS 107.23.a
While the Group also enter into other foreign exchange forward contracts with the
intention to reduce the foreign exchange risk of expected sales and purchases, these other
contracts are not designated in hedge relationships and are measured at fair value through
profit and loss.
The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign
currency sales and purchases and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.

The cash flow hedges of the expected future sales in January 2015 were assessed to be
highly effective and a net unrealised gain of $XXX, with a deferred tax liability of $XXX
relating to the hedging instruments, is included in other comprehensive income.
FRS 107.23.c
The cash flow hedges of the expected future purchases in February and March 2015 were
assessed to be highly effective, and as at 31 December 2014, a net unrealised loss of
$XXX, with a related deferred tax asset of $XXX was included in other comprehensive
income in respect of these contracts.
FRS 107.23.c
At the end of December 2013, the cash flow hedges of the expected future sales in the
first quarter of 2014 were assessed to be highly effective and an unrealised gain of $XXX
with a deferred tax liability of $XXX was included in other comprehensive income in
respect of these contracts. The cash flow hedges of the expected future purchases in the
first quarter of 2014 were also assessed to be highly effective and an unrealised loss of
$XXX, with a deferred tax asset of $XXX was included in other comprehensive income in
respect of these contracts.
FRS 107.23.c
The amount removed from other comprehensive income during the year and included in
the carrying amount of the hedging items as a basis adjustment was immaterial for both
2014 and 2013. The amounts retained in other comprehensive income at 31 December
2014 are expected to mature and affect profit or loss in 2015.

Commodity price risk
The Group purchases copper on an ongoing basis as its operating activities in the
electronic division require a continuous supply of copper for the production of its
electronic devices. The increased volatility in copper price over the past 12 months has led
to the decision to enter into commodity forward contracts
These contracts, which commenced on 1 July 2014, are expected to reduce the volatility
attributable to price fluctuations of copper. Hedging the price volatility of forecast copper
purchases is in accordance with the risk management strategy outlined by the Board of
Directors. The hedging relationships are for a period between 3 to 12 months based on
existing purchase agreements. The Group designated only the spot-to-spot movement of
the entire commodity purchase price as the hedged risk. The forward points of the
commodity forward contracts are therefore excluded from the hedge designation. Changes
in fair value of the forward points are recognised in profit or loss in Other expenses were
immaterial during the year.
As at 31 December 2014, the fair value of outstanding commodity forward contracts
amounted to a liability of $XXX. The ineffectiveness recognised in Other expenses in
profit or loss for the current year was $XXX (see Note X). The cumulative effective portion
of $XXX is reflected in other comprehensive income and will affect the profit or loss in the
first six months of 2015.

Revenue
X) Sale of completed development property
A development property is regarded as sold when the significant risks and returns have
been transferred to the buyer, which is normally on unconditional exchange of contracts.
For conditional exchanges, sales are recognised only when all the significant conditions are
satisfied.
FRS 18.14
XX) Sale of development property under construction

Where development property is under construction and agreement has been reached to
sell such property when construction is complete, the Directors consider whether the
contract comprises:
-
A contract to construct a property; or
A contract for the sale of completed property
a)
Where a contract is judged to be for the construction of a property, revenue is

recognised using the percentage of completion method as construction progresses.
b)
Where the contract is judged to be for the sale of a completed property, revenue is
recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the real estate have
been transferred to the buyer (i.e. revenue is recognised using the completed contract
method).
i)
ii)
If, however, the legal terms of the contract are such that the construction
represents the continuous transfer of work in progress to the purchaser, the
percentage of completion method of revenue recognition is applied and revenue
is recognised as work progresses.
In Singapore context, INT FRS 115 includes an accompanying note on the
application of INT FRS 115 in Singapore which requires the percentage of
completion method of revenue recognition to be applied to sale of private
residential properties in Singapore prior to completion of the properties that are
regulated under the Singapore Housing Developers (Control and Licensing) Act
(Chapter 130) and uses the standard form of sale and purchase agreements
(SPAs) prescribed in the Housing Developers Rules. The accompanying note to
INT FRS 115 does not address the accounting treatment for other SPAs,
including SPAs with a Deferred Payment Scheme feature in Singapore.
In the above situations (i) and (ii), the percentage of work completed is measured
based on the costs incurred up until the end of the reporting periods as a proportion of
total costs expected to be incurred.

X) Revenue recognition on development property under construction
The Group recognises revenue for pre-completion sales of certain types of properties by
reference to the stage of completion using the percentage of completion method. The
stage of completion is measured based on the costs incurred up until the end of the
reporting periods as a proportion of total costs expected to be incurred. Significant
assumptions are required to estimate the total contract costs and the recoverable
variation works that affect the stage of completion and the revenue respectively. In
making these estimates, management has relied on past experience and knowledge of the
project engineers. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the revenue
from sale of development property (recognised on percentage of completion basis) are
disclosed in Note X (Development Property) and Note Y (Revenue) to the financial

Development property
The Group includes a division that develops residential property, which it sells in the ordinary
course of business and has entered into contracts to sell certain of these properties on
completion of construction.
The Group has considered the application of INT FRS 15 to these contracts and concluded that
there pre-completion contracts were not, in substance, construction contracts. However,
where the legal terms were such that the construction represented the continuous transfer of
work in progress to the purchaser, the percentage of completion method of revenue
recognition has been applied and revenue recognised as work progressed. Development
expenditure incurred in respect of inventory property dealt with under the percentage of
completion method is recognised in profit or loss in the period incurred.
INT FRS 115.20
Revenue from sales of residential property where the contracts are not in substance
construction contracts and do not lead to a continuous transfer of work in progress, is
recognised when both: (i) construction is complete; and (ii) either legal title to the property
has been transferred or there has been an unconditional exchange of contracts. Construction
and other expenditure attributable to such property is included in inventory property until
disposal. During the year, the Group transferred the remaining unsold units of a residential
property to investment property, in conjunction with the commencement of operating lease of
these units to a third party.

Defined benefit plans
Extract of summary of significant accounting policies illustrating changes in accounting policies

on adoption of Revised FRS 19:
X.
X.X

The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the
defined benefit obligation (derived using a discount rate based on high quality corporate
bonds) at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets (if any),
adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset
ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from
the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for
each plan using the projected unit credit method.
Defined benefit costs comprise the following:
FRS 19.8
FRS 19.67
FRS 19.120
Service cost
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset
Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on
non-routine settlements are recognised as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are
recognised when plan amendment or curtailment occurs.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in
the net defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is
determined by applying the discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds to the net
defined benefit liability or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is
recognised as expense or income in profit or loss.
FRS 19.8
FRS 19.103
FRS 19.8
FRS 19.123
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any
change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability)
are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they
arise. Remeasurements are recognised in retained earnings within equity and are not
reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
FRS 19.127
FRS 19.122
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying
insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they
be paid directly to the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price
information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by
discounting expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk
associated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected disposal date of those assets
(or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the related
obligations).
FRS 19.8
FRS 19.113
The Groups right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a
defined benefit obligation is recognised as a separate asset at fair value when and only
when reimbursement is virtually certain.
FRS 19.116

The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment medical benefits as
well as the present value of the pension obligation are determined using actuarial
valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions. These include the
determination of the discount rates, expected rates of return of assets, future salary
increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the
valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, defined benefit obligations
are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each
reporting date. The net benefit liability as at 31 December 2014 is $XXX (2013: $XXX).
Further details are provided in Note X.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of
high quality corporate bonds in the respective currencies with at least AA rating, with
extrapolated maturities corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit
obligation. The underlying bonds are further reviewed for quality, and those having
excessive credit spreads are removed from the population of bonds on which the discount
rate is based, on the basis that they do not represent high quality bonds.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific country
and is modified accordingly with estimates of mortality improvements. Future salary
increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the
specific country.
Further details about the assumptions used are provided in Note X.

The Group operates two defined benefit pension plans, both of which require contributions to be made to separately administered funds. One provides a pension
of 2% of final salary for each year of service (Singapore plan), while the other provides 2.5% of average salary (US plan). Both benefit plans become vested after
five years of service and require contributions to be made to separately administered funds.
The Group also provides additional post employment healthcare benefits to certain senior employees in Singapore. These benefits are unfunded.

The management performed an Asset-Liability Matching Study (ALM) annually. The principal
technique of the Groups ALM is to ensure the expected return on assets to be sufficient to support
the desired level of funding arising from the defined benefit plans. The Groups current strategic
investment strategy consists of 50% of equity instruments, 30% of debt instruments, 15% of
investment properties and 5% of cash. The use of debt instruments in combination with interest rate
swaps will reduce the sensitivities caused by the term of the defined benefit obligation by 25%.
The Groups defined benefit pension plans are funded by its subsidiaries. The employees of the
Group contribute 6% of the pensionable salary and the remaining residual contributions are paid by
the subsidiaries of the Group.
The Group expects to contribute $XXX (2013: $XXX) to the defined benefit pension plans in 2015.
The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is 18.4
years (2013: 17.5 years).

Commentary:
To meet the disclosure objective of Revised FRS 19 for defined benefit plans, an entity shall
consider all the following:
FRS 19.136
(a) the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements,

(b) how much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements,
(c) how much aggregation or disaggregation to undertake; and
(d) whether users of financial statements need additional information to evaluate the
quantitative information disclosed.
If the disclosures provided in accordance with the specific requirements of Revised FRS 19
are insufficient to meet the objectives above, the entity shall disclose additional information
necessary to meet those objectives. For example, an entity may present an analysis of the
present value of defined benefit obligation that distinguishes the nature, characteristics and
risks of the obligation. Such a disclosure could distinguish:
-
between amounts owing to active members, deferred members, and pensioners
between vested benefits and accrued but not vested benefits
between conditional benefits, amounts attributable to future salary increases and other
benefits
An entity shall assess whether all or some disclosures should be disaggregated to

distinguish plans or groups of plans with materially different risks. For example, an entity
may disaggregate disclosure about plans showing one or more of the following features:
different geographical locations
different characteristics such as flat salary pension plans, final salary pension plans or
post-employment medical plans
different regulatory environments
different reporting segments
different funding arrangements (e.g. wholly unfunded, wholly or partly funded)
When disclosing the characteristics of defined benefit plans and risks associated with them,
an entity shall disclose:
FRS 19.137
FRS 19.138
FRS 19.139
(a) information about the characteristics including

-
the nature of benefits provided by the plan (e.g. final salary defined benefit plan or
contribution-based plan with guarantee).
a description of the regulatory framework in which the plan operates, for example
the level of any minimum funding requirements, and any effect of the regulatory
framework on the plan, such as the asset ceiling.
a description of any other entitys responsibilities for the governance of the plan,
for example responsibilities of trustees or of board members of the plan.
(b) a description of the risks to which the plan exposes the entity, focused on any unusual
entity-specific or plan-specific risks, and of any significant concentrations of risk. For
example, if plan assets are invested primarily in one class of investments, e.g. property,
the plan may expose the entity to a concentration of property market risk.
(c) a description of any plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.
An entity shall provide reconciliation from the opening balance to the closing balance for
any reimbursement rights and the related obligation, if applicable.
FRS 19.140.b
Appendix A-4
Past service cost and gains and losses arising from settlements need not be distinguished if
they occur together.
FRS 19.141.d
In the financial statements for periods beginning before 1 January 2014, an entity need not
present comparative information for the disclosures about the sensitivity of the defined
benefit obligation.
FRS 19.173.b
Revised FRS 19 introduces a number of new disclosure requirements. These include:

Sensitivity analysis
-
A sensitivity analysis for each significant assumption as of the end of the reporting
period, showing how the defined benefit obligation would have been affected by
changes in the relevant assumption that were reasonably possible at that date.
FRS 19.145.a
The method and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses and the
limitation of those methods.
FRS 19.145.b
Changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used in preparing
the sensitivity analyses, and the reasons for such changes.
FRS 19.145.c
Asset-liability matching strategies

-
A description of any asset-liability matching strategies used by the plan or the entity,
including the use of annuities and other techniques, such as longevity swaps, to
manage risk.
FRS 19.146
Cash flow information
A description of any funding arrangements, and funding policy that affect future
contributions to the defined benefit plan.
FRS 19.147.a
Expected contributions to the plan for the next annual reporting period.
FRS 19.147.b
Information about the maturity profile of the defined benefit obligation (including,
but not limited to, weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation).
FRS 19.147.c
Multi-employer plans
In this illustration, we do not illustrate multi-employer plans. If the Group participates in a
multi-employer plan and accounts for that plan as a defined benefit plan, it shall disclose the
following in addition to information required by paragraphs 135-147 of the Revised FRS 19:
(a) a description of the funding arrangements, including the method used to determine the
entitys rate of contributions and any minimum funding requirements.
(b) a description of the extent to which the entity can be liable to the plan for other
entities obligations under the terms and conditions of the multi-employer plan.
(c) a description of any agreed allocation of a deficit or a surplus on:
i.
wind-up of the plan; or
ii.
the entitys withdrawal from the plan.
(d) if the entity accounts for that plan as if it were a defined contribution plan, it shall
disclose the following, in addition to the information required by (a) (c) and instead of
the information required by paragraph 139 to 147 of the Revised FRS 19:
i.
the fact that the plan is a defined benefit plan.
ii.
the reason why sufficient information is not available to enable the entity to
account for the plan as a defined benefit plan.
FRS 19.33.b
FRS 19.148
Appendix A-4
Multi-employer plans (continued)

iii.
the expected contributions to the plan for the next annual reporting period.
iv.
information about any deficit or surplus in the plan that may affect the amount of
future contributions, including the basis used to determine that deficit or surplus
and the implications, if any, for the entity.
v.
an indication of the level of participation of the entity in the plan compared with
other participating entities. Examples of measures that might provide such an
indication include the entitys proportion of the total contributions to the plan or
the entitys proportion of the total number of active members, retired members,
and former members entitled to benefits, if that information is available.
FRS 19.148
Defined benefit plans that share risks between entities under common control
In this illustration, we do not illustrate defined benefit plans that share risks between
entities under common control. If an entity participates in a defined benefit plan that shares
risks between entities under common control, it shall disclose:
FRS 19.149
(a) the contractual agreement or stated policy for charging the net defined benefit cost or
the fact that there is no such policy.
(b) the policy for determining the contribution to be paid by the entity.
(c) if the entity accounts for an allocation of the net defined benefit cost as noted in
paragraph 41 of Revised FRS 19 , all the information about the plan as a whole
required by paragraph 135-147 of Revised FRS 19.
(d) if the entity accounts for the contribution payable for the period as noted in paragraph
41 of Revised FRS 19 , the information about the plan as a whole required by
paragraphs 135 137, 142 - 144 and 147 (a) and (b) of Revised FRS 19.
The information required by (c) and (d) can be disclosed by cross-reference to disclosures in
another group entitys financial statements if:
FRS 19.150
(a) that group entitys financial statements separately identify and disclose the information
required about the plan; and
(b) that group entitys financial statements are available to users of the financial
statements on the same terms as the financial statements of the entity and at the same
time as, or earlier than, the financial statements of the entity.
Paragraph 41 of Revised FRS 19 requires an entity participating in a defined benefit plan

that share risks between entities under common control to obtain information about the
plan as a whole measured in accordance with Revised FRS 19 on the basis of assumptions
that apply to the plan as a whole. If there is a contractual agreement or stated policy for
charging to individual group entities the net defined benefit cost for the plan as a whole
measured in accordance with Revised FRS 19, the entity shall, in its separate or individual
financial statements, recognise the net defined benefit cost so charged. If there is no such
agreement or policy, the net defined benefit cost shall be recognised in the separate or
individual financial statements of the group entity that is legally the sponsoring employer
for the plan. The other group entities shall, in their separate or individual financial
statements, recognise a cost equal to their contribution payable for the period.

Notes on differences between FRS and IFRS
FRS 16 has a transitional provision which exempts an entity which had
Revalued its property, plant and equipment before 1 January 1984; or
Performed any one-off revaluation on its property, plant and equipment between 1
January 1984 and 31 December 1996 (both dates inclusive), from complying with the
requirement to keep the valuation current by periodic valuation.
IAS 16 does not have such a transitional provision and therefore, all property, plant and
equipment that had been revalued prior to adoption of IAS 16 would have to be revalued on a
periodic basis.
One of the conditions for exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements or equity
accounting under IFRS 10 and IAS 28 is the ultimate or any intermediate parent of the parent
produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards. The requirement that the consolidated financial
statements comply with IFRS is not required under FRS 110 and FRS 28.
IFRS 3 applies to the accounting for business combinations for which the agreement date is on
or after 31 March 2004.
FRS 103 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2004.
FRS 102 is aligned with IFRS 2 except for the scope and the effective date for non-listed
companies. IFRS 2 applies to grants of shares, share options or other equity instruments that
were granted after 7 November 2002 and had not yet vested at the effective date of IFRS 2.
However, the reference date in FRS 102 is 22 November 2002 instead of 7 November 2002.
For non-listed companies, FRS 102 is effective only for financial periods beginning from 1
January 2006 whereas IFRS 2 applies to all companies for financial periods beginning from 1
January 2005.
IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, Revised IAS 27 and Revised IAS 28 are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2013. FRS 110, FRS 111, FRS 112, Revised FRS 27 and
Revised FRS 28 are effective only for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
The following IFRS have not been adopted as FRS:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2018
IFRS 15 Revenue Recognition, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2017
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets,
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 41 Agriculture, effective
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016
Amendments to FRS 27 Separate Financial Statements, effective for annual periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2016

Recommended Accounting Practice (RAP) in Singapore
The following RAP issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants set out
recommendations on accounting treatment relating to foreign income not remitted to Singapore.
Foreign income not remitted to Singapore

The practice in Singapore is to recognise and account for a deferred tax liability in respect of
foreign-sourced income not remitted to Singapore in the same way as temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiaries etc. as set out in accordance with FRS 12.39. Thus,
some companies do not provide deferred tax in respect of foreign income on the basis that they
do not intend to remit the funds to Singapore in the foreseeable future.
