CHAIRMANS STATEMENT The successful listing on Taiwan grants the Group ready access to the different equity markets in the Asia Pacific region when the opportunity arises.

Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present to you our annual report for the financial year ended 30 September 2011 (FY2011). FY2011 has been an eventful year for the Group as we marked significant milestones in our corporate history. The most notable achievement will be the Groups market debut in Taiwan with its successful listing on the GreTai Securities Market, Taiwans over-the-counter stock exchange, on 25th February 2011. We were successfully dual-listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange via our issuance of Taiwan Depository Receipts (TDR) in February 2011. Technics took the lead as the first Singapore listed company to be listed and traded on the Gretai Securities Market in the history. The Group has also dedicated great efforts to sustain the order winning momentum in FY2011. The Group roped in S$185.1 million worth of new contracts during the financial year under review and chalked up record-high outstanding order book of S$141.0 million as at 9th November 2011. Our fundamentals remain sound and balance sheet remains in very good health. Final phase of the expansion programme is expected to be completed by the end of the year 2011. Additional capacity from our new in-house facilities and

expanded yard space will allow us to cope with existing pipeline of projects and accommodate new projects. In terms of returning value to shareholders, Technics have been consistent in our dividend payout for the last few years. This year, with our record net profit attributable to equity holders and our solid cash position, the Board was pleased to propose our highest ever full year dividend of 12.0 Singapore cents per ordinary share. This represents an astounding dividend payout ratio of 124% in FY2011, highest in corporate history. Moving ahead, we will align our business focus to concentrate on engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) projects for onshore and offshore gas compression systems relating to booster and recovery applications. These EPCC projects allow Technics to leverage on strong technical expertise and capabilities by managing the projects on a turnkey basis. Margins are, therefore, relatively more attractive to that of Contract Engineering (CE) and Procurement and Other Services (PS) projects. Technics remains committed to expand our portfolio offerings and to entrench ourselves deeper into new markets like Australia, the Middle East and Russia in the coming year. I am pleased to share with you the key highlights of FY2011.

CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
FY2011 - A RECORD-SETTING YEAR First Singapore Listed Company to be listed on Taiwan GreTai Securities We are proud to update our shareholders that we are now dual-listed on GreTai Securities Market Taiwan, Taiwans over-the-counter market on 25th February 2011 via the issuance of Taiwan Depository Receipts (TDR). We have issued a total of 40 million shares of the Company, comprising of 13 million new shares (the New Shares) to be issued by the Company, and 27 million vendor shares (comprising shares held by the controlling shareholders). The shares are allotted on the basis of 2 TDR shares to 1 ordinary share and a net proceed of S$12.7 million was raised. The net proceeds were utilised towards repayment of bank borrowings to reduce interest payments and enhance gearing ratio of the Group. The successful listing on Taiwan grants the Group ready access to the different equity markets in the Asia Pacific region when the opportunity arises. At the same time, the two markets, Singapore and Taiwan, attract different investor profiles and will thereby widen the investor base of the Company and increase the liquidity of our shares. In particular, it enables the Company to benefit from its exposure to a wider range of private and institutional investors. Strong and Sustainable Profit Growth We concluded FY2011 with record setting revenue and net profit attributable to equity holders. The Groups revenue hit about S$125.8 million in FY2011, 21% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase from S$103.6 million in FY2010. Net profit attributable to shareholders rose by 14% y-o-y to S$18.7 million in FY2011. The increase in revenue was primarily attributed by higher revenue contributions from the relevant recognition of work-in-progress items carried out on CE and PS projects. However, more CE projects have also resulted in lower gross profit margins of 37% in FY2011 as compared to 42% in FY2010. Despite higher business volume and activities, the Group has managed to keep operating expenses (marketing and distribution costs and administrative expenses) under tight lid as operating expenses remained fairly consistent at 21% of the Groups revenue in FY2011. Our balance sheet remained rosy with solid cash and cash equivalent balance of S$20.7 million as at 30 September 2011. Gearing ratio improved to 0.84 as at 30 September 2011 as compared to 1.51 as at 30 September 2010 as a result of enlarged shareholding base due to issuance of new shares and conversion of warrants into ordinary shares during the year. Dividend With a view to rewarding shareholders for their continued support of Technics and the strength of the Groups ongoing financial position, the Board was pleased to propose a total dividend payout of 12.0 Singapore cents per share, amounting to S$24.3 million. This translates to a dividend payout ratio high of 124% in FY2011. A resolution has been passed and approved in December 2010 in relation to the Groups dividend policy. It was indicated in the resolution that the Group will propose and recommend an annual cash dividend of between 5% to 75% of the Groups distributable profits to be paid to shareholders as long as the Group remained listed on SGXMainboard and Taiwan Stock Exchange. The Group has repeatedly outdone itself in this aspect as the Groups dividend payout ratio was maintained above 50% for the past 3 years. Upholding Contract Winning Momentum Technics continue to reel in new orders in FY2011 and secured approximately S$185.1 million worth of new contracts during the year. Consequently, order book swelled to a record high of S$141.0 million as at 9 November 2011 with progressive delivery throughout FY2012. Technics clinched two CE contracts in the Russia Federation amounting to a total of S$28.9 million during the year. This is an important stepping

CHAIRMANS STATEMENT

stone for the Group as we marched into a new geographical market that has huge potential demand for the Groups service offerings. Technics will be responsible for supplying Oil & Gas Process Equipment for modification of Jack-up rig and an offshore Oil Wellhead Satellite platform in the Russia Federation. Apart from Russia Federation, the Group is targeting to move into Middle East as well. The Group was awarded a contract worth S$23.5 million from a Middle East Oil & Gas Company in January 2011 for EPCC of Process Equipment for Early Production Systems. With project duration of 8 months, the Group shall deliver Process Equipment for Early Production Systems consisting of Wellhead Manifolds, Test Separators, Three Phase Separators, Gas KO Drums, Flare KO Drums, Heater Treater, Scraper Traps, Corrugated Plate Separators, Hydrogen Sulfide Removal Module and Flare Stacks and Burners. Technics has also gained traction in Vietnam with yet another EPCC contract from JV Vietsovpetro (VSP) for the provisioning of the topside equipments for wellhead satellite platforms

named GT-1 for the White Bear and MT-1 for the White Cat oilfields in offshore Vietnam, worth an estimated S$32.0 million. These series of contracts awarded by VSP demonstrates the customers strong confidence in Technics technical and execution capabilities. Including this latest contract, Technics has been awarded a total of 15 wellhead satellite platform orders by VSP. To date, thirteen projects have been completed and delivered, including RC-6 and RC-7 which were delivered in June 2011. At our subsidiary level, the Group announced on both January 2011 and March 2011 that its 51% owned subsidiary, Norr Systems Pte Ltd (Norr Systems), had been awarded three turnkey construction and service contracts worth S$48.4 million for the design, engineering, procurement and manufacturing and supply of ship automation (Hydraulic and Electrical equipment). The supply of equipment also includes main engines and all auxiliary equipments on board vessel as well as provision of project management on site to deliver quality vessels to the owner. Norr Systems shall also provide the maintenance and servicing of the entire three vessels for the subsequent 7 years after completion of the turnkey contract.

CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Our strategy of expanding existing portfolio offerings appears to be fruitful as Norr Systems continue to build track record to establish itself in the market. Expansion of portfolio offerings On 18 August 2011, Technics has incorporated a 51%-owned subsidiary, Technics Systems Solutions Pte Ltd, to design, engineer, integrate, test and supply integrated control & safety system, Pneumatic & Hydraulic Wellhead Control Panels and Turbo Machinery Control to Oil & Gas, Power and General Industries. This investment is consistent with the Groups strategy to expand portfolio offerings and to leverage on the growth opportunities present in the integrated automation market for the Oil & Gas and Power industries. BROAD PERSPECTIVES ON THE GLOBAL AND REGIONAL OIL & GAS SECTOR* (*Figures here variously derived from DNB Nor, Infield (the Energy Analysts) and various online sources ) Asias Increasing Dominance Asia continues to be Technics key market place. Overall, we expect the markets for offshore oil and gas in Asia to grow in tandem with the increasing intensity and complexity of oil exploration and production. In a report by Infield, the firm expects that regions expected recovery in offshore activity will continue to significantly drive up demand for fixed, floating and subsea units in the short term. The report forecast that surge in platform installations globally will continue steadily until 2012 and both Asia and the Middle East and Caspian will construct close to 43% and 37% of the fixed platforms in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Signs of Increasing Capital Equipment Spending in Offshore Sector We have witnessed series of rig order wins in the market and also improved activity in the Exploration and Production (E&P) operations. Analysts from DnB NOR believe that these factors will facilitate the market to absorb the enlarged Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) fleet by 2012. Furthermore, a relatively stable oil price will continue to spur demand for E&P activities and thereby stimulate demand for OSV new builds. STRATEGIC PLANS Building Up EPCC Growth Momentum As in the earlier years, the Group shall continue to build on its platform of core EPCC capabilities particularly in the FPSO conversion, fixed platforms as well as onshore and offshore gas compression systems and recovery applications. Our geographical focus can be categorised into two spheres prospective new markets and traditional markets. In prospective new markets such as Russia, Middle East and Australia, our strategy is to build up a network of strong and reliable partnerships that can bring us into deeper engagement with the key customers such as oil majors in their respective geographies. This will however take time to achieve. In our traditional markets such as Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, we are constantly and actively engaged in bidding process across a wide spectrum of large scale projects. Whilst the prospective new markets present immense potential to leapfrog into new areas of growth, we will still require the traditional markets to continue to supply a stable base of projects which we can effectively rely on for the long term. Expansion of Portfolio Offerings With a recurring base of EPCC contracts from key customers in traditional markets, Technics have also been actively building up a wider range of engineering services in order to offer total engineering solutions to a variety of key customers. Our subsidiaries such as Norr Systems, M2E, Wecom, and newly-incorporated indirect subsidiaries, Norr Systems Hydraulics Pte Ltd and Bloomfoss Pte Ltd, provides a wide array of engineering services for us to synergistically cross market. In the long run, we believe the different

CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
clientele bases from various engineering services open new possibilities for unique marketing and solution offerings. Capacity Expansion With our fully functioning fabrication yard, waterfront space, jetty, warehousing and office facilities at our Loyang yard in Singapore, we have started to generate interests from customers and partners who are keen to tap on our onestop vendor services. Aside from being able to utilise our jetty and waterfront spaces for our internal loading and offloading activities for heavy process equipment and modules, Technics can offer repair, maintenance, fabrication and other auxiliary services to visiting vessels. Hence, we intend to position ourselves as a mini offshore supply base (OSB) as our Loyang yard is the only other alternative jetty and waterfront facilities along the Loyang Industrial Estate. The existing large scale Loyang OSB has already been operating at closed to full capacity. As OSBs are in short supply in Singapore, we intend to collaborate with a tenant partner who would like to utilise our base to service a wider range of customers. OUTLOOK As of 9 November 2011, the Group has a total outstanding order book of about $141.0 million for progressive delivery through to the end of FY2011. These project schedules are typically subject to changes that could be due to various factors, e.g. customers requesting variations to original project specifications, or adjustment to shipment schedules by overseas manufacturers of major equipment, notably premium-branded engines of non-standard specifications. Our customers, who are mainly, oil and gas majors, leading FPSO operators and end users, maintain longer term perspectives on their operation requirements that are not affected by the prevailing oil prices. Hence, they are continuing with the previously agreed schedules for the delivery of contracts awarded to us. The Group has already submitted proposals or is continuing to follow up with prospective customers for the projects in the regional markets. Indicative timelines remain ontrack. Nevertheless, given the extent of the global credit crunch that has impacted the worlds major economies; the Group remains alert on new challenges that may arise in its external environment. In view of the sizeable order book, current yard schedules and the expected completion of our expanded yard space and new in-house facilities in early next year, barring unforeseen circumstances the Group will remain profitable for FY2012. A WORD OF APPRECIATION On behalf of the Group, I would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to our customers, business partners and associates for their ongoing support throughout this year. We could not have achieved the set of strong results in FY2011 without your confidence and trust. We certainly look forward to your continued support of Technics as we look towards the future to build a deeper and broader range of engineering solutions for the oil and gas markets. I would also like to put forward a special note of thanks to the Directors, management and staff of Technics whose commitment, diligence and integrity have raised our operational and financial performance towards a higher level every year. With your support, I am confident that we can continue to build upon the current momentum and achieve greater heights.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated nancial 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 consolidated nancial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of consolidated nancial 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 consolidated nancial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated nancial statements of the group and the statement of nancial position and statement of changes in equity of the company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and of the company as at 30 September 2011 and the results, changes in equity and cash ows of the group and the changes in equity of the company for the reporting year ended on that date.

1. General
The company is incorporated in Singapore with limited liability. The nancial statements are presented in Singapore dollars and they cover the parent and the groups subsidiaries. The board of directors approved and authorised these nancial statements for issue on 20 December 2011. The companys principal activities are the provision of management services and that of investment holding company. It is listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 14 below. The registered ofce is: 8 Wilkie Road #03-01 Wilkie Edge Singapore 228095. The company is domiciled in Singapore.

Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies


Accounting Convention The nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) and the related Interpretations to FRS (INT FRS) as issued by the Singapore Accounting Standards Council and the Companies Act, Cap. 50. The nancial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention except where an FRS requires an alternative treatment (such as fair values) as disclosed where appropriate in these nancial statements. Basis of Presentation The consolidation accounting method is used for the consolidated nancial statements that include the nancial statements made up to the end of the reporting year of the company and all of its directly and indirectly controlled subsidiaries. Consolidated nancial statements are the nancial statements of the group presented as those of a single economic entity. The consolidated nancial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. All signicant intragroup balances and transactions, including prot or loss items and dividends are eliminated in full on consolidation. The results of the investees acquired or disposed of during the reporting year are accounted for from the respective dates of acquisition or up to the dates of disposal which is the date on which effective control is obtained of the acquired business until that control ceases. On disposal the attributable amount of goodwill if any is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal. The equity accounting method is used for associates in the group nancial statements. Changes in the groups ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for within equity. When the group loses control of a subsidiary it derecognises the assets and liabilities and related equity components of the former subsidiary. Any gain or loss is recognised in prot or loss. Any investment retained in the former subsidiary is measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost and is subsequently accounted as available-for-sale nancial assets in accordance with FRS 39. The companys nancial statements have been prepared on the same basis, and as permitted by the Companies Act, Cap. 50, no statement of income is presented for the company. Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of nancial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the nancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Apart from those involving estimations, management has made judgements in the process of applying the entitys accounting policies. The areas requiring managements most difcult, subjective or complex judgements, or areas where assumptions and estimates are signicant to the nancial statements, are disclosed at the end of this footnote, where applicable.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Revenue Recognition The revenue amount is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from the gross inow of economic benets during the reporting year arising from the course of the ordinary activities of the entity and it is shown net of any related sales taxes, estimated returns and rebates. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when signicant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, there is neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the amount of revenue and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue from rendering of services that are of short duration is recognised when the services are completed. Revenue from rendering of long-term services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting year determined by the proportion of the cost incurred to date bears to the estimated total cost of the transaction and the amount of revenue, stage of completion, and the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably. Rental revenue is recognised on a time-proportion basis that takes into account the effective yield on the asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividend from equity instruments is recognised as income when the entitys right to receive payment is established. Revenue from construction contracts is recognised in accordance with the accounting policy on construction contracts (see below). Construction Contracts When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, the revenue and costs associated with the contract are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting year using the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs method except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Contract costs consist of costs that relate directly to the specic project, costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the project and such other costs as are specically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer. The stage of completion method relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs, as well as dependable measurement of the progress made towards completing a particular project. Recognised revenues and prots are subject to revisions during the project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. The cumulative impact of a revision in estimates is recorded in the period such revisions become likely and estimable. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. The work-in-progress projects have operating cycles longer than one year. The management includes in current assets amounts relating to the contracts realisable over a period in excess of one year. Employee Benets Contributions to dened contribution retirement benet plans are recorded as an expense as they fall due. The entitys legal or constructive obligation is limited to the amount that it agrees to contribute to an independently administered fund which is the Central Provident Fund in Singapore (a government managed retirement benet plan). For employee leave entitlement the expected cost of short-term employee benets in the form of compensated absences is recognised in the case of accumulating compensated absences, when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future compensated absences; and in the case of nonaccumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur. A liability for bonuses is recognised where the entity is contractually obliged or where there is constructive obligation based on past practice.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Income Tax The income taxes are accounted using the asset and liability method that requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognised in the nancial statements or tax returns. The measurements of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on provisions of the enacted or substantially enacted tax laws; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or as an expense in prot or loss unless the tax relates to items that are recognised in the same or a different period outside prot or loss. For such items recognised outside prot or loss the current tax and deferred tax are recognised (a) in other comprehensive income if the tax is related to an item recognised in other comprehensive income and (b) directly in equity if the tax is related to an item recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same income tax authority. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each end of the reporting year and is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realised. A deferred tax amount is recognised for all temporary differences, unless the deferred tax amount arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which (i) is not a business combination; and (ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting prot nor taxable prot (tax loss). A deferred tax liability or asset is recognised for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, except where the reporting entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the taxable temporary difference and it is probable that the taxable temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future or for deductible temporary differences, they will not reverse in the foreseeable future and they cannot be utilised against taxable prots. Foreign Currency Transactions The functional currency is the Singapore dollar as it reects the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. At each end of the reporting year, recorded monetary balances and balances measured at fair value that are denominated in non-functional currencies are reported at the rates ruling at the end of the reporting year and fair value dates respectively. All realised and unrealised exchange adjustment gains and losses are dealt with in prot or loss except when recognised in other comprehensive income and if applicable deferred in equity such as for qualifying cash ow hedges. The presentation is in the functional currency. Translation of Financial Statements of Other Entities Each entity in the group determines the appropriate functional currency as it reects the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. In translating the nancial statements of an investee for incorporation in the consolidated nancial statements in the presentation currency the assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated at end of the reporting year rates of exchange and the prot and loss items are translated at average rates of exchange for the reporting year. The resulting translation adjustments (if any) are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity until the disposal of that investee.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Borrowing Costs All borrowing costs that are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset until substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. The interest expense is calculated using the effective interest rate method. Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis to allocate the gross carrying amounts of the assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives of each part of an item of these assets. The annual rates of depreciation are as follows: Leasehold property and improvements Plant and equipment Construction in progress Over the terms of lease from 5.88% to 8.33% 5.88% to 33.3% Not depreciated

An asset is depreciated when it is available for use until it is derecognised even if during that period the item is idle. Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the nancial statements. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost on initial recognition and after initial recognition at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item and is recognised in prot or loss. The residual value and the useful life of an asset is reviewed at least at each end of the reporting year and, if expectations differ signicantly from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate, and the depreciation charge for the current and future periods are adjusted. Cost also includes acquisition cost, borrowing cost capitalised and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset or component to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Subsequent costs are recognised as an asset only when it is probable that future economic benets associated with the item will ow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to prot or loss when they are incurred. Segment Reporting The group discloses nancial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specied criteria. Operating segments are components about which separate nancial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, nancial information is reported on the same basis as is used internally for evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Leases Whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, that is, whether (a) fullment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specic asset or assets (the asset); and (b) the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Leases are classied as nance leases if substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee. All other leases are classied as operating leases. At the commencement of the lease term, a nance lease is recognised as an asset and as a liability in the statement of nancial position at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is practicable to determine, the lessees incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs of the lessee are added to the amount recognised as an asset. The excess of the lease payments over the recorded lease liability are treated as nance charges which are allocated to each reporting year during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents are charged as expenses in the reporting years in which they are incurred. The assets are depreciated as owned depreciable assets. Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benets of ownership of the leased assets are classied as operating leases. For operating leases, lease payments are recognised as an expense in prot or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the users benet, even if the payments are not on that basis. Lease incentives received are recognised in prot or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense. Rental income from operating leases is recognised in prot or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the users benet, even if the payments are not on that basis. Initial direct cost incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Subsidiaries A subsidiary is an entity including unincorporated and special purpose entity that is controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benets from its activities accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights or the ability to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. In the companys own separate nancial statements, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost adjusted for any value in the contingent consideration less any allowance for impairment in value. Impairment loss recognised in prot or loss for a subsidiary 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. The net book value of a subsidiary is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realised in a current market exchange.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Associates An associate is an entity including an unincorporated entity in which the investor has a substantial nancial interest (usually not less than 20% of the voting power), signicant inuence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the investor. Signicant inuence is the power to participate in the nancial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The accounting for investments in an associate is on the equity method. The investment in an associate is carried in the statement of nancial position at cost adjusted for any value in the contingent consideration plus post-acquisition changes in the share of net assets of the associate, less any impairment. The prot or loss reects the investors share of the results of operations of the associate. Losses of an associate in excess of the groups interest in the relevant entity are not recognised except to the extent that the group has an obligation. An investment in an associate includes goodwill on acquisition, which is accounted for in accordance with FRS 103 Business Combinations. However the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested under FRS 36 for impairment, by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount, whenever application of the requirements in FRS 39 indicates that the investment may be impaired. Prots and losses resulting from transactions between the group and an associate are recognised in the nancial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors interests in the associate. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of an associate are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. The net book value of an associate is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realised in a current market exchange. The investor discontinues the use of the equity method from the date that it ceases to have signicant inuence over the associate and accounts for the investment in accordance with FRS 39 from that date. Any gain or loss is recognised in prot or loss. Any investment retained in the former associate is measured at its fair value at the date that it ceases to be an associate. In the companys own separate nancial statements, an investment in an associate is stated at cost adjusted for any value in the contingent consideration less any allowance for impairment in value. Impairment loss recognised in prot or loss for an associate 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. The net book value of an associate is not necessarily indicative of the amount that would be realised in a current market exchange. Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. There were none during the reporting year. Non-controlling interests The non-controlling interests in the net assets and net results of a consolidated subsidiary are shown separately in the appropriate components of the consolidated nancial statements. For each business combination, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree (subsidiary) is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquirees identiable net assets. Where the non-controlling interest is measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and key model inputs used are disclosed in the relevant note. Prot or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a decit balance. Goodwill Goodwill is recognised as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (a) over (b); (a) being the aggregate of: (i) the consideration transferred which generally requires acquisition-date fair value; (ii) the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree measured in accordance with FRS 103 (measured either at fair value or as the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquirees net identiable assets); and (iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquiree; and (b) being the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed measured in accordance with this FRS 103.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Goodwill (Contd) After initial recognition, goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, goodwill (and also an intangible asset with an indenite useful life or an intangible asset not yet available for use) are tested for impairment, at least annually. Goodwill impairment is not reversed in any circumstances. For the purpose of impairment testing and since the acquisition date of the business combination, goodwill is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benet from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree were assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represent the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than a segment. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, an annual impairment test is performed at the same time every year on an intangible asset with an indenite useful life or an intangible asset not yet available for use. The carrying amount of other non-nancial assets is reviewed at each end of the reporting year for indications of impairment and where an asset is impaired, it is written down through prot or loss to its estimated recoverable amount. The impairment loss is the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount and is recognised in prot or loss. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specic to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identiable cash ows (cash-generating units). At each end of the reporting year non-nancial assets other than goodwill with impairment loss recognised in prior periods are assessed for possible reversal of the impairment. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost (rst in rst out method) and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. A write down on cost is made for where the cost is not recoverable or if the selling prices have declined. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Financial Assets Initial recognition and measurement and derecognition of nancial assets: A nancial asset is recognised on the statement of nancial position when, and only when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The initial recognition of nancial assets is at fair value normally represented by the transaction price. The transaction price for nancial asset not classied at fair value through prot or loss includes the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the nancial asset. Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition or issue of nancial assets classied at fair value through prot or loss are expensed immediately. The transactions are recorded at the trade date method. Irrespective of the legal form of the transactions performed, nancial assets are derecognised when they pass the substance over form based on the derecognition test prescribed by FRS 39 relating to the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership and the transfer of control.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Financial Assets (Contd) Subsequent measurement: Subsequent measurement based on the classication of the nancial assets in one of the following four categories under FRS 39 is as follows: 1. Financial assets at fair value through prot or loss: As at end of the reporting year date there were no nancial assets classied in this category. Loans and receivables: Loans and receivables are non-derivative nancial assets with xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Assets that are for sale immediately or in the near term are not classied in this category. These assets are carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method (except that short-duration receivables with no stated interest rate are normally measured at original invoice amount unless the effect of imputing interest would be signicant) minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or uncollectibility. Impairment charges are provided only when there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash ows of the nancial asset or group of nancial assets that can be reliably estimated. The methodology ensures that an impairment loss is not recognised on the initial recognition of an asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For impairment, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in prot or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. Typically the trade and other receivables are classied in this category. Held-to-maturity nancial assets: As at end of the reporting year date there were no nancial assets classied in this category. Available-for-sale nancial assets: As at end of the reporting year date there were no nancial assets classied in this category.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include bank and cash balances, on demand deposits and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. For the statement of cash ows the item includes cash and cash equivalents less cash subject to restriction and bank overdrafts payable on demand that form an integral part of cash management. Derivatives Derivatives: All derivatives are initially recognised and subsequently carried at fair value. Certain derivatives are entered into in order to hedge some transactions and all the strict hedging criteria prescribed by FRS 39 are not met. In those cases, even though the transaction has its economic and business rationale, hedge accounting cannot be applied. As a result, changes in the fair value of those derivatives are recognised directly in prot or loss and the hedged item follows normal accounting policies.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Financial Liabilities Initial recognition and measurement: A nancial liability is recognised on the statement of nancial position when, and only when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and it is derecognised when the obligation specied in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. The initial recognition of nancial liability is at fair value normally represented by the transaction price. The transaction price for nancial liability not classied at fair value through prot or loss includes the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the nancial liability. Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition or issue of nancial liability classied at fair value through prot or loss are expensed immediately. The transactions are recorded at the trade date. Financial liabilities including bank and other borrowings are classied as current liabilities unless there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting year. Subsequent measurement: Subsequent measurement based on the classication of the nancial liabilities in one of the following two categories under FRS 39 is as follows: 1. Liabilities at fair value through prot or loss: As at end of the reporting year date there were no nancial liabilities classied in this category. Other nancial liabilities: All liabilities, which have not been classied as in the previous category fall into this residual category. These liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Trade and other payables and borrowings are usually classied in this category. Items classied within current trade and other payables are not usually re-measured, as the obligation is usually known with a high degree of certainty and settlement is short-term.

2.

Financial Guarantees A nancial guarantee contract requires that the issuer makes specied payments to reimburse the holder for a loss when a specied debtor fails to make payment when due. Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at the greater of (a) the amount determined in accordance with FRS 37 and (b) the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with FRS18. Finance Leases of Lessor An amount due from a lessee is recognised as receivables at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The recognition of nance income is based on a pattern reecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessors net investment outstanding in respect of the nance leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of current nancial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Disclosures of fair value are not made when the carrying amount of current nancial instruments is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The fair values of non-current nancial instruments may not be disclosed separately unless there are signicant differences at the end of the reporting year and in the event the fair values are disclosed in the relevant notes. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of the nancial instruments at the end of the reporting year. The fair value of a nancial instrument is derived from an active market or by using an acceptable valuation technique. The appropriate quoted market price for an asset held or liability to be issued is usually the current bid price without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred on sale or other disposal and, for an asset to be acquired or for liability held, the asking price. If there is no market, or the markets available are not active, the fair value is established by using an acceptable valuation technique. The fair value measurements are classied using a fair value hierarchy of 3 levels that reects the signicance of the inputs used in making the measurements, that is, Level 1 for the use of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 for the use of inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and Level 3 for the use of inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The level is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is signicant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Where observable inputs that require signicant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. Equity Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the company. Ordinary shares are classied as equity. Equity instruments are recognised at the amount of proceeds received net of incremental costs directly attributable to the transaction. Dividends on equity are recognised as liabilities when they are declared. Interim dividends are recognised when declared by the directors. Treasury Shares Where the company reacquires its own equity instruments as treasury shares, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental cost is deducted from equity attributable to the companys owners until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the companys owners and no gain or loss is recognised in prot or loss. Provisions A liability or provision is recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outow of resources embodying economic benets will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are made using best estimates of the amount required in settlement and where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount recognised is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specic to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Changes in estimates are reected in prot or loss in the reporting year they occur. Critical Judgements, Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainties The critical judgements made in the process of applying the accounting policies that have the most signicant effect on the amounts recognised in the nancial statements and the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year, that have a signicant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting year are discussed below. These estimates and assumptions are periodically monitored to ensure they incorporate all relevant information available at the date when nancial statements are prepared. However, this does not prevent actual gures differing from estimates.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Critical Judgements, Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainties (Contd) Construction contracts: On construction contracts, revenues are recorded on the stage of completion basis. The stage of completion is determined by dividing the cumulative costs incurred as at end of the reporting period by the sum of incurred costs and anticipated costs for completing a contract. The stage of completion is then applied to the contract value to determine the cumulative revenue earned. This method of revenue recognition requires management to prepare cost estimates to complete contracts in progress, and in making such estimates, judgments are required to evaluate contingencies such as potential variances in scheduling, cost of materials, labour costs and productivity, the impact of change orders or liability claims. All known or anticipated losses based on these estimates are provided for in their entirety without regard to the stage of completion. Estimated revenues on contracts include future revenues from claims when such additional revenues can be reliably established. These estimates are based on managements business practices as well as its historical experience, and management regularly reviews underlying estimates of project protability. Revenue from contracts is recognised on the stage of completion method the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Recognised revenues and prots are subject to revisions during the project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. Current sales and prot estimates for projects may materially change due to the early stage of a long-term project, new technology, changes in the project scope, changes in costs, changes in timing, changes in customers plans, realisation of penalties, and other corresponding factors. Allowance for doubtful trade accounts and nance lease receivables: An allowance is made for doubtful trade accounts and nance lease receivables for estimated losses resulting from the subsequent inability of the customers to make required payments. If the nancial conditions of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods. Management generally analyses trade receivables and analyses historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful trade receivables and nance lease receivables. To the extent that it is feasible impairment and uncollectibility is determined individually for each item. In cases where that process is not feasible, a collective evaluation of impairment is performed. At the end of the reporting year, the trade and nance lease receivables carrying amount approximates the fair value and the carrying amounts might change materially within the next reporting year but these changes would not arise from assumptions or other sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year. Net realisable value of inventories: A review is made periodically on inventory for excess inventory and declines in net realisable value below cost and an allowance is recorded against the inventory balance for any such declines. The review requires management to consider the future demand for the products. In any case the realisable value represents the best estimate of the recoverable amount and is based on the acceptable evidence available at the end of the reporting year and inherently involves estimates regarding the future expected realisable value. The usual considerations for determining the amount of allowance or write-down include ageing analysis, technical assessment and subsequent events. In general, such an evaluation process requires signicant judgement and materially affects the carrying amount of inventories at the end of the reporting year. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the stated value of the inventories. The carrying amount of inventories at the end of the reporting year was $8,690,000 (2010: $9,325,000). Income tax expense: The entity recognises tax liabilities and assets tax based on an estimation of the likely taxes due, which requires signicant judgement as to the ultimate tax determination of certain items. Where the actual amount arising from these issues differs from these estimates, such differences will have an impact on income tax and deferred tax amounts in the period when such determination is made.

2. Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (Contd)
Critical Judgements, Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainties (Contd) Deferred tax asset estimation: Management judgement is required in determining the amount of current and deferred tax recognised as income or expense and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised. A deferred tax asset is recognised if it is more likely than not that sufcient taxable income will be available in the future against which the temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. Management also considers future taxable income and tax planning strategies in assessing whether deferred tax assets should be recognised in order to reect changed circumstances as well as tax regulations. As a result, due to their inherent nature, it is likely that deferred tax calculation relates to complex fact patterns for which assessments of likelihood are judgmental and not susceptible to precise determination. Property, plant and equipment: There are property and group of plant and equipment stated at carrying value of $34,123,000 (2010: $31,368,000). An assessment is made at each end of the reporting year whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units if applicable is determined based on the fair value less cost to sell method. The fair value is based on an independent valuation. These calculations require the use of estimates. It is impracticable to disclose the extent of the possible effects. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next reporting year that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the balances affected. Useful lives of plant and equipment: The estimates for the useful lives and related depreciation charges for plant and equipment is based on commercial and other factors which could change signicantly as a result of innovations and competitor actions in response to market conditions. The depreciation charge is increased where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or the carrying amounts written off or written down for technically obsolete items or assets that have been abandoned. It is impracticable to disclose the extent of the possible effects. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next reporting year that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the balances affected. The carrying amount of the class of assets at the end of the reporting year affected by the assumption is $13,305,000 (2010: $13,783,000). Estimated impairment of subsidiary or associate: Where a subsidiary or associate is in net equity decit and has suffered losses a test is made whether the investment in the investee has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the stated accounting policy. This determination requires signicant judgement. An estimate is made of the future protability of the investee, and the nancial health of and near-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, and operational and nancing cash ow. The amount of the relevant investment in subsidiaries and associates are $560,000, (2010: $3,991,000) and $1,741,000 (2010: $1,741,000) respectively. It is impracticable to disclose the extent of the possible effects. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next reporting year that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected. 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 inuences 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.

23. Share Capital (Contd)
Share Warrants During year ended 2008, the company issued 71,458,287 warrants at an issue price of $0.10 for each warrant on the basis of one warrant for every two ordinary shares in the capital of the company held by shareholders as at 2 November 2007. There is no outstanding share warrants as at 30 September 2011 (2010: 71,458,287). In order to maintain its listing on the Singapore Stock Exchange it has to have share capital with at least a free oat of at least 10% of the shares. The company met the capital requirement on its initial listing and the rules limiting treasury share purchases mean it will automatically continue to satisfy that requirement, as it did throughout the reporting year. Management receives a report from the registrars frequently on substantial share interests showing the non-free oat to ensure continuing compliance with the 10% limit throughout the reporting year. The management does not set a target level of gearing but uses capital opportunistically to support its business and to add value for shareholders. The key discipline adopted is to widen the margin between the return on capital employed and the cost of that capital. Capital management: The objectives when managing capital are: to safeguard the reporting entitys ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for owners and benets for other stakeholders, and to provide an adequate return to owners by pricing the sales commensurately with the level of risk. The management sets the amount of capital to meet its requirements and the risk taken. There were no changes in the approach to capital management during the reporting year. The management manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it where necessary or possible in the light of changes in conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the management may adjust the amount of dividends paid to owners, return capital to owners, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. The management monitors the capital on the basis of the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt / adjusted capital (as shown below). Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity (i.e. share capital, other reserves, non-controlling interests and retained earnings).

Acquisition of Subsidiaries
On 9 April 2010 the group acquired 54.67% of the share capital Wecom Engineering Pte Ltd (incorporated in Singapore) and Wecom Marine Pte Ltd (incorporated in Singapore) and from that date the group gained control. These companies became subsidiaries in the contract engineering segment specialising in marine industry. The transaction was accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting. The consideration transferred is as follows: 2010 $000 Consideration transferred: Cash Contingent consideration #a Total consideration transferred

3,253 (753) 2,500

The expenses of acquisition were $68,000 and were included under administrative expenses in prot or loss. #a. There is a contingent consideration arrangement with the vendor. Should the prots exceed $1,800,000 in nancial year 2010 the additional payment expected is 3.61 times of the exceeded amount. Similarly, should the prots fall below $1,800,000 in nancial year 2010 the refund amount expected is 3.61 times of the shortfall. The above amount recognised is the estimated fair value of this arrangement.

Financial Instruments: Information on Financial Risks (Contd)


Financial Risk Management The main purpose for holding or issuing nancial instruments is to raise and manage the nances for the entitys operating, investing and nancing activities. There are exposures to the nancial risks on the nancial instruments such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk comprising interest rate, currency risk and price risk exposures. The management has certain practices for the management of nancial risks and action to be taken in order to manage the nancial risks. However these are not formally documented in written form. The guidelines include the following: 1. 2. Minimise interest rate, currency, credit and market risks for all kinds of transactions. Maximise the use of natural hedge: favouring as much as possible the natural off-setting of sales and costs and payables and receivables denominated in the same currency and therefore put in place hedging strategies only for the excess balance. The same strategy is pursued with regard to interest rate risk. All nancial risk management activities are carried out and monitored by senior management staff. All nancial risk management activities are carried out following good market practices.

3. 4.

There has been no change to the exposures to risk; the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to measure the risk. The group and company are exposed to currency and interest rate risks. There is no arrangement to reduce such risk exposures through derivatives and other hedging instruments. 30C. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value of nancial instruments stated at amortised cost in the statement of nancial position The nancial assets and nancial liabilities at amortised cost are at a carrying amount that is a reasonable approximation of fair value. 30D. Credit Risk on Financial Assets Financial assets that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk and failures by counterparties to discharge their obligations in full or in a timely manner consist principally of cash balances with banks, cash equivalents and receivables, and other nancial assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk is: the total of the fair value of the nancial instruments; the maximum amount the entity could have to pay if the guarantee is called on; and the full amount of any loan payable commitment at the end of the reporting year. Credit risk on cash balances with banks and any derivative nancial instruments is limited because the counter-parties are entities with acceptable credit ratings. Credit risk on other nancial assets is limited because the other parties are entities with acceptable credit ratings. For credit risk on receivables an ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the debtors nancial condition and a loss from impairment is recognised in prot or loss. The exposure to credit risk is controlled by setting limits on the exposure to individual customers and these are disseminated to the relevant persons concerned and compliance is monitored by management. There is no signicant concentration of credit risk, as the exposure is spread over a large number of counter-parties and customers unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to the nancial statements. Note 22 discloses the maturity of the cash and cash equivalents balances. As part of the process of setting customer credit limits, different credit terms are used. The average credit period generally granted to trade receivable customers is about 60 days (2010: 60 days). But some customers take a longer period to settle the amounts.

The company has undertaken to provide continued nancial support to its subsidiaries with net capital decits. The extent of the exposure is not determinable. The liquidity risk refers to the difculty in meeting obligations associated with nancial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another nancial asset. It is expected that all the liabilities will be paid at their contractual maturity. The average credit period taken to settle trade payables is about 90 days (2010: 90 days). The other payables are with short-term durations. The classication of the nancial assets is shown in the statement of nancial position as they may be available to meet liquidity needs and no further analysis is deemed necessary. In order to meet such cash commitments the operating activity is expected to generate sufcient cash inows.

The undrawn borrowing facilities are available for operating activities and to settle other commitments. Borrowing facilities are maintained to ensure funds are available for the operations. A monthly schedule showing the maturity of nancial liabilities and unused borrowing facilities is provided to management to assist them in monitoring the liquidity risk.

The hypothetical changes in exchange rates are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The sensitivity analysis is disclosed for each currency to which the entity has signicant exposure. For similar rate weakening of the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies, there would be comparable impacts in the opposite direction on the prot or loss. The analysis above has been carried out on the basis that there are no hedged transactions. In managements opinion, the above sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the foreign currency risks as the historical exposure does not reect the exposure in future.

Financial Information by Operating Segments


Information about Reportable Segment Prot or Loss, Assets and Liabilities Disclosure of information about operating segments, products and services, the geographical areas, and the major customers are made as required by FRS 108 Operating Segments. This disclosure standard has no impact on the reported results or nancial position of the Group. For management purposes the Group is organised in three primary strategic operating segments. The Groups principal segments relate to those of a structural steel specialists and provision of service dormitories for foreigners. The results of all other activities, mainly investment holding, which are not included within the two primary segments, are included in the other segment. Such a structural organisation is determined by the nature of risks and returns associated with each business segment and denes the management structure as well as the internal reporting system. It represents the basis on which the management reports the primary segment information. They are managed separately because each business requires different strategies. The segments and the types of products and services are as follows: (a) Engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) segment is the major business of the group and it is project based. This involves the design, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning of process modules and equipment for oil and gas production on a turnkey projects basis. These process modules and equipment form the operating system of the production and storage facility for oil and gas. Contract engineering (CE) segment includes designing, procurement and fabrication of modules, systems or equipment for the oil and gas industry. Procurement services (PS) segment provides after-sales services and supply spare parts and equipment for oil and gas exploration and production.

(b)

(c)

Inter-segment sales are measured on the basis that the entity actually used to price the transfers. Internal transfer pricing policies of the Group are as far as practicable based on market prices. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of signicant accounting policies. The management reporting system evaluates performances based on a number of factors. However the primary protability measurement to evaluate segments operating results is the major nancial indicators: earnings from operations before depreciation, amortisation, interests and income taxes (called Recurring EBITDA). The following tables illustrate the information about the reportable segment prot or loss, assets and liabilities. The information on each product and service, or each group of similar products and services is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive.

(PPS) has commenced litigation for partial refund of consideration paid of $3,252,500 as the prot target for FY2010 was not met. PPS is claiming a refund from the vendor shareholder of a sum of about $428,442 after offsetting certain receivables. The vendor shareholder in his defence and counterclaim has computed a different reduction of consideration and is claiming for a minimum of $258,981 from PPS instead.
