CREATING A  LASTING LEGACY  IN HEALTHCARE

CORPORATE PROFILE

Asian American Medical Group Limited (“AAMG” or the “Group”), based in Singapore, has been listed on the 
Australian  Securities  Exchange  (“ASX”)  since  September  2009.  The  Group’s  operations  include  the  Asian 
American  Liver  Centre  Pte  Ltd  (“AALC”),  established  1994  in  Singapore,  and  Asian  American  Radiation  & 
Oncology Pte Ltd (“AARO”), established in 2015. 

The Group entered into a strategic collaboration in October 2012 with United States (“U.S.”) based US$19-
billion integrated global health enterprise University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre (“UPMC”). UPMC ranked No. 
14 in the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll of American’s Best Hospitals, is affiliated with the University of 
Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences and is a pioneer in the field of transplantation. This collaboration has 
enhanced AAMG’s clinical capabilities through shared protocols, rigorous quality standards and technology 
and also created a platform for AAMG to expand into other countries in Asia such as Malaysia and Myanmar. 

AALC,  one  of  Asia’s  foremost  liver  centres,  is  led  by  renowned  hepatobiliary  expert  and  liver  transplant 
surgeon, Dato’ Dr Kai Chah Tan (“Dr KC Tan”), who helped start the Liver Transplant Programme at King’s 
College Hospital in London, United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and pioneered the highly successful Living Donor Liver 
Transplantation (“LDLT”) Programme in Singapore. In 2014, AALC began conducting surgical procedures at 
iHEAL Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Following the setting up of our subsidiary Gold Bell Asia 
American Healthcare Ventures Company Limited (“GBAA”) in Myanmar, AALC began conducting consultancy 
and surgical procedures at Grand Hantha International Hospital in Yangon from 2017.

AARO offers radiation oncology treatment services, consultancy and management services and is spearheaded 
by  Dr  Daniel  Yat  Harn  Tan.  Based  in  Singapore,  AARO  will  drive  expansion  into  the  growing  radiotherapy 
and oncology segment in the overseas market, at a time where there is a shortage of modern radiotherapy 
treatment centres. 

In March 2018, AAMG completed the acquisition of Hippocrates Development Sdn Bhd (“HDSB”). HDSB owns 
a 5-acre block of land in Iskandar Puteri, in the Southern Malaysian state of Johor, which has been earmarked 
to be developed into medical hub, which will include an international cancer centre to be built in memory of 
the Late Johor Prince Almarhum Tunku Abdul Jalil Iskandar ibni Sultan Ibrahim Ismail.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear Shareholders,

BUSINESS REVIEW

On  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Asian 
American Medical Group (“AAMG” or the “Group”), 
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the 
financial year ended 31 August 2018 (“FY2018”).

This scorecard captures our return to profitability in 
the year under review and the significant progress 
in our regionalisation efforts, especially with regards 
to a proposed integrated cancer treatment centre in 
Iskandar, Johor, Malaysia (“the Johor Project”).

The  private  medical  sector  in  Singapore  is  still 
grappling  with  challenges  such  as  high  healthcare 
costs,  stiff  regional  competition  as  medical  hubs 
spring  up  across  Asia  and  the  weakening  of  most 
Southeast  Asian  currencies  -  in  particular  the 
Indonesian  Rupiah  and  the  Malaysian  Ringgit  – 
against  the  Singapore  dollar.  The  wider  availability 
of  medical  expertise  across  Asia  has  resulted  in 
lower  patient  traffic  from  Southeast  Asia  and  the 
Middle East to Singapore.

Our  financial  recovery  during  the  year  in  review 
validates  our  strategy  of  focusing  on  our  medical 
specialisations  and  activities,  our  discipline 
in 
cost  containment,  and  our  tenacity  in  pursuing 
partnerships 
in  countries  from  Myanmar  and 
Malaysia to Russia and beyond.

Dato’ Dr Kai Chah Tan
Executive Chairman

ASIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL GROUP LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Apart  from  cost  management  and  quality  control, 
we  have  been  responding  to  these  challenges  by 
strategically  expanding  into  specialised  radiation 
and  oncology,  healthcare  management  and 
consultancy  and  forging  key  partnerships  in  the 
region.  I  am  pleased  to  report  that  our  efforts 
continue  to  bear  fruit.  Despite  the  challenging 
operating  environment,  our  revenue  rose  15.2%  to 
S$17.5  million  this  year  from  S$15.2  million  a  year 
ago  as  overall  patient  transactions  edged  up  2.5% 
to 7,079 from 6,903 in FY2017.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Liver Segment
The  Asian  American  Liver  Centre  (“AALC”),  our 
wholly-owned  one-stop  provider  of 
liver  and 
hepatobiliary  care  and  treatment,  remained  our 
major revenue contributor. Full-year turnover came 
to  S$12.7  million,  even  as  patient  transactions  for 
this  segment  declined  0.6%  to  6,494  in  FY2018 
from  6,530  last  year.  Our  net  loss  in  this  segment 
narrowed  to  S$0.7  million  due  to  a  cost  reduction 
exercise in January 2018.

Although  Singaporeans  have  become  more  cost-
conscious in recent times, liver disease is a prevalent 
issue in the city-state; the National Organ Transplant 
Unit  recently  stated  that  the  waiting  list  for  liver 
transplants has risen from nine in 2007 to 52 as of 
mid-2018.

remains  challenging 

We carried out four Living Donor Liver Transplants 
(“LDLTs”)  this  year,  two  fewer  than  in  2017.  While 
this  decline  indicates  that  the  financial  cost  of 
LDLTs 
for  Singaporeans, 
we  remain  confident  in  AALC’s  reputation  and 
capabilities. The number of liver dialyses performed 
by AALC increased 67.8% during the year in review, 
underscoring  our  status  as  a  trusted  medical 
provider.

Radiation and Oncology
The Group’s subsidiary Asian American Radiation & 
Oncology (“AARO”), which was established in 2015, 
continues to grow steadily under the leadership of 
Dr Daniel Yat Harn Tan and remains a major revenue 
driver for us. We completed 585 patient transactions 
this year, an increase of 56.8% from 373 the previous 
year.

CREATING A  LASTING LEGACY  IN HEALTHCAREASIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL GROUP LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2018During  the  year  in  review,  AARO  also  welcomed 
its  new  Consultant  Radiation  Oncologist,  Dr  David 
Boon  Harn  Tan,  who  brings  to  the  AAMG  team  a 
decade’s  worth  of  experience  with  the  National 
Cancer  Centre  Singapore.  Moreover,  I  am  pleased 
to  inform  you  that  AARO’s  clinical  presence  now 
spans five locations in Singapore, in addition to its 
existing body of overseas project management and 
consultancy services in Myanmar and Russia.

Management and Consultancy Segment
The revenue for our management and consultancy 
segment  surged  to  S$1.8  million  in  FY2018  from 
S$30,000  in  FY2017  due  to  professional  services 
rendered for the development of the Johor Project. 
Other income also increased 100.0% to S$0.4 million 
in FY2018 from S$0.2 million in FY2017 due to the 
sale  of  two  ambulances.  The  segment  recorded  a 
net profit of S$1.1 million in FY2018, a positive swing 
from last year’s net loss of S$1.5 million.

Overall,  the  Group  achieved  a  net  profit  after  tax 
of  S$2.1  million  in  FY2018  across  all  segments, 
reversing  a  loss  of  S$3.0  million  a  year  ago.  This 
included a deferred tax benefit of S$0.2 million and 
a  gain  on  purchase  of  S$1.6  million  after  factoring 
in one-off expenses amounting to S$0.7 million for 
professional fees for our potential listing migration. 
Without  these  one-off  items,  our  net  profit  for 
FY2018 would have been S$1.2 million.

EXPANSION STRATEGY

Hippocrates Development Sdn Bhd &
The Johor Project
On  6  March  2018,  we  completed  the  acquisition 
of  Hippocrates  Development  Sdn  Bhd  (“HDSB”), 
an  investment  holding  company  incorporated  in 
Malaysia.  HDSB  is  the  land  owner  and  developer 
of  the  Johor  Project,  also  known  as  the  Tunku 
Laksamana Johor Cancer Centre (“TLJCC”). 

Following  the  transaction,  AAMG  holds  95.1% 
interest  of  HDSB’s  enlarged  share  capital  and  His 
Majesty,  the  Sultan  of  Johor,  Sultan  Ibrahim  Ismail 
ibni  Almarhum  Sultan  Iskandar  Al-Haj,  became  a 
major shareholder of AAMG.

In  line  with  AAMG’s  strategic  initiatives,  TLJCC 
will  be  built  on  HDSB’s  major  asset,  a  five-acre 
freehold  parcel  of  land  in  Iskandar  Puteri,  located 
in  the  Southern  Malaysian  state  of  Johor.  During 
the Project Launch on 1 April 2018, His Majesty said 
that  the  comprehensive  specialist  cancer  centre 
will  initiate  a  number  of  “first”  in  Malaysia  and  the 
region and is an initiative by the Johor Royal Family 
to bring advanced cancer treatment to Johor. 

The  Johor  Project  will  be  a  private,  purpose-built 
facility for cancer treatment, research and education. 
It will feature state-of-the-art cancer diagnostic and 
treatment  facilities  which  will  not  only  change  the 
operating  environment  for  oncology  in  Southeast 
Asia  but  also  have  a  significant  impact  on  the 
Group’s overall performance.

09

Phase 1 of the centre will have a gross development 
value  of  approximately  RM300  million  (US$77 
million)  and  built-up  area of  approximately  14,000 
square  meters  (150,696  square  feet),  offering  an 
ambulatory cancer facility comprising 30 day beds. 
At full capacity, Phase 1 of the centre will be able to 
treat up to 7,000 patients a year.

Rosatom Healthcare
Subsequent to the financial year, the Group signed 
a  Memorandum  of  Understanding  (“MoU”)  on  19 
September  2018  with  Russian  nuclear  medicine 
integrator,  Rosatom  Healthcare  (“Rosatom”),  to 
develop a nuclear medical centre alongside TLJCC 
in Iskandar Puteri. 

Possible features of this centre include a cyclotron 
and radiochemical complex, as well as departments 
for  radionuclide  diagnostics  and  electron  beam 
treatment.  This  development  will  help  enhance 
TLJCC’s  treatment  offerings  and  make  it  into  a 
premier cancer treatment destination.  

Both  of  these  ventures  illustrate  our  ability  to 
attract international strategic partners of significant 
stature,  as  well  as  our  determination  to  offer 
a  differentiated  value  proposition  as  we  chart 
new  growth  opportunities.  These  areas  will  be 
the  combined  focus  of  our  team  going  forward: 
achieving excellence in delivering medical outcomes 
in our areas of specialisation while seeking to create 
or enhance value for all stakeholders.

TEAM UPDATE

We welcome to our Board Mr Stuart Dean, who was 
appointed  as  Independent  Non-Executive  Director 
of  AAMG  on  1  May  2018.  He  is  an  experienced 
corporate  advisor  whose  career  spans  more  than 
35 years in General Electric Inc.’s business functions 
in  the  United  States  and  Asia;  including  sales, 
marketing,  product  management,  capital  markets 
and business development.

We are grateful to Mr Kong Meng Ang, who stepped 
down as Non-Executive Director on 5 February 2018 
to focus other pursuits, for his service to the Group. 
We wish him the best in his future endeavours. 

APPRECIATION

On  behalf  of  the  team,  I  wish  to  convey  my 
appreciation to all shareholders for your loyalty and 
support,  and  to  AAMG’s  management  team  and 
staff for their hard work during the year.

The Group’s revenue rose to S$17.5 million for the financial year ended 31 August 2018 (“FY2018”), representing 
an increase of 15.2% or S$2.3 million from S$15.2 million for the financial year ended 31 August 2017 (“FY2017”), 
due  mainly  to  significant  improvements  in  the  radiation  and  oncology  and  healthcare  management  and 
consultancy segments.

Our radiation and oncology segment recorded higher patient volume in FY2018 with the addition of a Radiation 
Oncologist during the financial year, resulting in revenue increasing 53.6% to S$3.0 million in FY2018.

Revenue  for  the  healthcare  management  and  consultancy  segment  increased  to  S$1.8  million  in  FY2018, 
due to fees for preliminary work performed in relation to the development of the integrated cancer centre 
in  Johor,  Malaysia.  Following  that,  the  Group  completed  the  acquisition  of  Hippocrates  Development  Sdn 
Bhd (“HDSB”), the land owner and developer of the Johor Project, on 6 March 2018, signalling its foray into 
healthcare real estate and the expansion of its radiation and oncology segment into Malaysia. 

The Group recorded a 2.5% rise in overall patient transactions to 7,079 from 6,903 in FY2017. The corresponding 
Net Profit after Tax (“Net Profit”) was S$2.1 million in FY2018, after accounting for a deferred tax benefit of 
S$0.2 million, reversing a Net Loss after Tax (“Net Loss”) of S$3.0 million in FY2017. The Net Profit included a 
gain on purchase of S$1.6 million relating to the acquisition of HDSB, as well as one-off expenses amounting to 
S$0.7 million relating to professional fees incurred for the Group’s exploration of a potential listing migration 
from ASX to the SGX. Without these one-off items, the Group’s Net Profit would have been S$1.2 million.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

LIVER SEGMENT

Revenue for AALC, the Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary operating in the liver segment, was S$12.7 million in 
FY2018, a decline of 3.6% or S$0.5 million from S$13.2 million in FY2017. Patient transactions for this segment 
declined marginally by 0.6% with 6,494 patient transactions in FY2018 compared to 6,530 in FY2017. 

Although an increase is seen in the professional fees and number of liver dialysis of 9.3% and 67.8% in FY2018, 
it was offset by the decrease in other activities such as surgeries, fibroscans and medication sales of 25.8%, 
16.8% and 18.9% respectively. There were fewer LDLT performed during the year in review, with four completed 
in FY2018 compared to six in FY2017. 

Direct  costs  decreased  by  4.7%  or  S$0.4  million  to  S$8.2  million  from  S$8.6  million  in  line  with  the  lower 
revenue. The marginally higher reduction in direct costs compared to revenue was due to a higher volume 
of sales mix from clinical procedures with higher Gross Profit Margin (“GPM”). As a result, the overall GPM 
increased to 35.4% in FY2018 from 34.5% in FY2017. 

Despite the lower revenue, Net Loss narrowed by 86.3% or S$0.7 million due mainly to the cost reduction 
exercise implemented in January 2018. Although the Group increased its headcount to 31 in FY2018 from 28 
in FY2017, employee benefits expenses – AALC’s main cost component (constituting approximately 79% of 
total expenses) – decreased by 9.8% or S$0.4 million to S$3.7 million in FY2018 from S$4.1 million in FY2017 
as a result of reductions to salaries and bonuses.

The  liver  segment  accounted  for  72.7%  of  the  Group’s  revenue  in  FY2018  compared  to  86.9%  in  FY2017. 
Although it remains the Group’s largest revenue contributor, its share of contributions has declined due to the 
growing contribution from other segments.

RADIATION AND ONCOLOGY SEGMENT

Revenue for the Group’s radiation and oncology unit, AARO, continued its growth momentum with a 53.6% 
or  S$1.0  million  increase  to  S$3.0  million  in  FY2018  from  S$2.0  million  in  FY2017.  This  was  driven  by  the 
56.8%  increase  in  patient  transactions  to  585  from  373  in  FY2017.  AARO  increased  its  number  of  doctors 
to  three  with  the  recruitment  of  another  Radiation  Oncologist,  Dr  David  Tan,  in  March  2018.  In  addition, 
AARO expanded its clinical presence to five locations in Singapore. Provision of clinical services to patients 
accounted  for  96.0%  of  AARO’s  total  revenue,  with  the  balance  from  overseas  project  management  and 
consultancy services carried out in Russia and Myanmar. 

Direct costs increased by 58.3% or S$0.7 million to S$1.9 million in FY2018 from S$1.2 million in FY2017, in line 
with the increase in revenue. The marginally higher increase in direct costs compared to revenue was due to 
a higher volume of sales mix from clinical procedures with lower GPM. As a result, the overall GPM declined 
slightly to 36.9% in FY2018 from 41.0% in FY2017. 

Other operating expenses increased by 50.0% or S$0.3 million to S$0.9 million in FY2018 from S$0.6 million 
in FY2017 as a result of the expanding operations. AARO’s headcount increased from four to seven to cater 
for the larger operations, resulting in AARO’s employment cost increasing from S$0.5 million to S$0.6 million 
in FY2018. Operating lease increased to S$72,000 in FY2018, up S$69,000 from S$3,000 in FY2017, as AARO 
started new clinics in four more locations: Mount Alvernia Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Farrer 
Park Hospital and Concord International Hospital.

As a result of the above, Net Profit increased by 100.0% or S$0.2 million to S$0.4 million in FY2018 from S$0.2 
million in FY2017, after recording deferred tax benefit of S$0.2 million. AARO remains the Group’s second-
largest revenue contributor, accounting for 17.3% (2017: 13.0%) of the Group’s revenue in FY2018.

MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTANCY SEGMENT

Revenue  for  the  management  and  consultancy  segment  increased  significantly  to  S$1.8  million  in  FY2018 
from S$30,000 in FY2017. The increase was attributable to professional services rendered to HDSB in relation 
to the development of the Johor Project prior to HDSB’s acquisition. Professional services rendered to HDSB 
post-acquisition have been eliminated at the Group level. 

Other income increased to S$0.4 million in FY2018, up 100.0% or S$0.2 million from S$0.2 million in FY2017, 
due mainly to the sale of two ambulances which brought in a one-off net trading profit of S$0.2 million. Net 
Profit from the management and consultancy segment came to S$1.1 million in FY2018, reversing a net loss 
of S$1.5 million in FY2017. 

The Group’s other operating expenses declined to S$1.0 million in FY2018, down by 35.0% or S$0.6 million 
from S$1.6 million in FY2017, largely attributable to unrealised exchange gain arising from the weakening of 
AUD against SGD on foreign-denominated intercompany loans, amounting to S$0.7 million.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As a result of the above, the Group recognised a Net Profit of S$2.1 million in FY2018, reversing a net loss of 
S$3.0 million in FY2017.

per share (S cents)

Net assets for the Group increased by 60.7% or S$5.8 million to S$15.4 million in FY2018 from S$9.6 million in 
FY2017. This was due to Net Profit for the year of S$2.1 million and an increase in share capital as a result of 
the issuance of 40 million new shares; partially offset by the decrease in foreign currency translation reserve of 
S$1.0 million, due to the weakening of AUD against SGD.

Increase in property, plant and equipment by S$8.9 million to S$9.0 million in FY2018 (FY2017: S$69,000) 
relating to the land and building for the development of the Johor Project, which has been consolidated 
from HDSB at the Group level;
Increase in investment in joint venture by S$69,000 in FY2018 (FY2017: nil) due to the incorporation of 
All-Star American Medical Specialists (Myanmar) Limited (“AAMS”);
Increase in deferred tax asset by S$0.2 million in FY2018 (FY2017: nil) due to recognition of unutilised 
tax losses at entity’s level;
Decrease in trade and other receivables by 54.0%, or S$3.3 million, to S$2.8 million in FY2018 (FY2017: 
S$6.1  million)  due  to  a  shorter  collection  period  for  trade  receivables,  despite  the  15.2%  increase  in 
revenue from improved collection;

PATIENT NATIONALITY MIX FOR LIVER SEGMENT

The UAE region still forms a substantial part of the revenue contribution for our liver segment in FY2018, a 
percentage of 28% of the entire patient population as compared to 27% in FY2017. The revenue contribution 
from these UAE patients amounted to 65% of AALC’s revenue, a slight drop from 71% in FY2017. The changes 
in the proportion of patient origin reflects AAMG’s effort in bringing in patients from other regions such as 
India and Burmese.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board considers four of AAMG’s directors as independent under the guidelines. 

In assessing the independence of directors, the Board follows the ASX guidelines as set out:

An independent director is a non-executive director (i.e. is not a member of management) and:

• 

Is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, 
a substantial shareholder of the Company;

•  Within  the  last  three  years  has  not  been  employed  in  an  executive  capacity  by  the  Company  or 

another Group member, or been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment;

•  Within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material 
consultant to the Company or another Group member, or an employee materially associated with the 
service provided;
Is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Group member, or an officer of or 
otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

• 

•  Has no material contractual relationship with the Company or another Group member other than as a 

director of the Company;

•  Has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially 

• 

interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and
Is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be 
perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.

ASXCGC Recommendation 2.1 states that the majority of directors of the Company should be independent 
and AAMG does comply with that recommendation. 

Where  additional  skills  are  considered  necessary  for  specific  purposes,  access  is  made  to  independent 
professional advice at the expense of the Company. Such advice is to be shared amongst the directors.

CHAIRMAN

Due to the size of the Company, Dato’ Dr Kai Chah Tan is the Company’s Chairman. While recognising that the 
ASXCGC recommends that the chairperson be independent, the Company feels that the strong independence 
exercised by the other Board members mitigates any negative impact on the Company that it may have.

APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD

Where a casual vacancy arises during the year, the Board has procedures to select the most suitable candidate 
with  the  appropriate  experience  and  expertise  to  ensure  a  balanced  and  effective  Board.  Any  director 
appointed during the year to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the current Board, holds office until the 
next Annual General Meeting and is then eligible for re-election by the shareholders.

New directors receive a letter of appointment which sets out the terms of their appointment. On appointment, 
an  induction  programme  is  available  to  directors  that  include  one-on-one  sessions  with  members  of  the 
senior management team.

CREATING A  LASTING LEGACY  IN HEALTHCAREASIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL GROUP LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 201824

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

EVALUATION OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES

Senior  executives,  including  the  Group  Chief  Operating  Officer,  Group  Chief  Financial  Officer  or  Chief 
Commercial Officer have a formal job description and letter of appointment describing their term of office, 
duties, rights, responsibilities and entitlements upon termination.

The  performance  of  senior  executives  is  reviewed  annually  before  the  budgets  are  approved  for  the  next 
financial  year.  This  process  is  a  formal  one  with  the  executive’s  performance  assessed  against  Company, 
division and personal benchmarks by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Benchmarks are agreed 
with the respective senior executives and reviews are based upon the degree of achievement against those 
benchmarks.

Induction procedures are in place to allow new senior executives to participate fully and actively in management 
decision-making. The induction program includes orientation of:

• 
• 

The Company’s financial position, strategies, operations and risk management policies.
The respective rights, duties, responsibilities and roles of the Board and senior executives.

ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES

The  Company  has  adopted  a  Code  of  Conduct  to  maintain  confidence  in  the  Company’s  integrity,  its 
legal  obligations  and  the  expectations  of  its  stakeholders.  The  Company  is  committed  to  being  a  socially 
responsible corporate citizen, using honest and fair business practices, to act in the best interests of clients 
so as to achieve the best outcome for shareholders.

The  Board  has  procedures  in  place  for  reporting  any  matters  that  may  give  rise  to  unethical  practices  or 
conflicts between the interests of a director or senior executive and those of the Company. These procedures 
are reviewed as required by the Board. To this end, the Company has adopted a Conflict of Interest Policy 
that clarifies the processes for directors and senior executives to determine and disclose when a conflict of 
interest exists.

DIVERSITY POLICY

The Company values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation’s ability to achieve 
its  goals.  Our  recruitment  processes  encourage  the  development  of  diversity  in  our  workplace,  bearing  in 
mind that employees must have the required skills to be successful in their positions. 

In  accordance  with  this  policy  and  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Principles,  the  Board  has  established  the 
following  objectives  in  relation  to  gender  diversity.  We  currently  meet  our  objectives  but  will  continue  to 
monitor  and  improve  on  our  objectives  to  be  in  line  with  our  Company’s  needs  and  direction.  A  written 
diversity policy has been developed by the Board to ensure gender diversity.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY

The Board has established an Audit Committee (“AC”) comprised of the three independent non-executive 
directors.    This  committee  operates  under  a  charter  to  enable  it  to  perform  its  roles  and  responsibilities. 
Where considered appropriate, the Company’s external auditors and the Company’s management are invited 
to attend the meetings. 

The members of the AC are:

•  Mr Heng Boo Fong (Chairman)
•  Mr Paul Vui Yung Lee
•  Ms Jeslyn Jacques Wee Kian Leong 

The qualifications of members of the committee together with their attendances at committee meetings are 
disclosed in the Directors’ Report within this Annual Report.

The role of the AC is to assist the Board to fulfill its responsibilities in relation to the identification of the areas 
of significant business risks and the monitoring of the following:

Effective management of financial and other business risks;

• 
•  Reliable management reporting;
•  Compliance with laws and regulations in respect to financial reporting;
•  Maintenance of effective and efficient audits;
•  Meeting with external auditors on a twice-yearly basis and informally as circumstances require; and
•  Recommending  to  the  Board  the  appointment,  rotation,  removal  and  remuneration of  the external 
auditors, and review their terms of engagement, and the scope and quality of the audit. Periodically, 
the AC reviews the appointment of the external audit engagement partners using a formal process 
of  evaluation  to  determine  the  most  appropriate  level  of  skills  and  experience  to  suit  the  size  and 
complexity of the Company.

The  AC  provides  the  Board with  additional  assurances  regarding  the  reliability of  financial  information  for 
inclusion in the financial statements. 

The committee is chaired by an independent chair who is not the chairman of the Board.

TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

The Board recognises the need to comply with ASX Listing Rule 3.1 concerning continuous disclosure. 

At each meeting of directors, consideration is given as to whether notice of material information concerning 
the  Company,  including  its  financial  position,  performance,  ownership  and  governance  has  been  made 
available to all investors.

The Continuous Disclosure Policy also requires senior executives in possession of disclosable information to 
comply with that policy.

COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS

The  Board  aims  to  ensure  that  shareholders,  on  behalf  of  whom  they  act,  are  informed  of  all  major 
developments affecting the Company’s activities and its state of affairs, including information necessary to 
assess the performance of the directors.

Communication with shareholders is achieved through the distribution of the following information:

• 
• 
• 

The Annual Report distributed to shareholders;
The Half Yearly Report which is available on the Company’s web site;
The  Annual  General  Meeting  and  other  meetings  called  to  obtain  shareholder  approval  for  Board 
action  as  appropriate.  Shareholders  are  encouraged  to  attend  and  participate  at  the  Company’s 
Annual General Meeting and other General Meetings;
Letters to shareholders when considered to be appropriate and informative;

• 
•  Announcements to the Australian Securities Exchange; and
• 

Investor information through the Company’s internet portal at www.aamg.co.

The Company strives to ensure that Company announcements via the ASX are made in a timely manner, are 
factual, do not omit material information and are expressed in a clear and objective manner.

CREATING A  LASTING LEGACY  IN HEALTHCAREASIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL GROUP LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 201826

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

SHAREHOLDERS’ ROLE

The shareholders of the Company are responsible for voting on the election of directors at the Annual General 
Meeting in accordance with the constitution.

All directors (other than a Managing Director) are subject to re-election by rotation, no later than every three 
years.

The Annual General Meeting also provides shareholders with the opportunity to express their views on matters 
concerning the Company and to vote on other items of business for resolution by shareholders.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The  Board  is  responsible  for  overseeing  the  risk  management  function.    The  Company  believes  that  it  is 
crucial for all Board members to be a part of the process and as such has established risk management as a 
component of the AC.

The Board is responsible for ensuring the risks and opportunities are identified on a timely basis. 

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure the management’s objectives and activities are 
aligned with the risks identified by the Committee.  These include the following:

Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets;

• 
•  Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the monitoring of key performance 

indicators of both a financial and non-financial nature; and
The establishment of committees to report on specific risk as identified.

• 

INTERNAL RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM COMPLIANCE

Management is accountable to the Board to ensure that operating efficiency, effectiveness of risk management 
procedures, internal compliance control systems and controls and policies are all being monitored. Management 
has designed and implemented a risk management and internal control system to manage the Company’s 
material business risks and reports to the Board at each meeting on the effective management of those risks. 
The Company has developed a series of operational risks which the Company believes to be inherent in the 
industry in which the Company operates. These include:

•  Changed operating, market or regulatory environments;
• 
• 
• 

Fluctuations in demand volumes;
Fluctuations in exchange rates; and
Increasing costs of operations.

These  risk  areas  are  provided  here  to  assist  investors  better  understand  the  nature of  the  significant  risks 
faced by the Company.

MONITORING PERFORMANCE

The  Board  and  senior  management  monitor  the  performance  of  all  divisions  through  the  preparation  of 
monthly management accounts. The monthly management accounts are prepared using accrual accounting 
techniques and report each business unit’s result as contribution after overhead allocation. These monthly 
management accounts are compared to monthly budgets, which have been set allowing for the seasonality 
of anticipated revenues and costs in each of the divisions.

The  monitoring  of  the  Company’s  performance  by  the  Board  and  management  assists  in  identifying  the 
correct allocation of resources and staff to maximise the overall return to shareholders.

A performance evaluation for senior management was undertaken during the year and was in accordance 
with the process developed by the Board for that purpose.

Details of the structure of non-executive directors’ and senior executives’ remuneration are included in the 
Remuneration Report within the Directors’ Report in this Annual Report.

members of the NRC are:

•  Responsible for considering general remuneration policies and practices, recruitment and termination 

policies and superannuation requirements.

The Board believes that it has the right numbers and skill sets within its Board members for the current size 
of the Company, and is confident that each non-executive director brings independent judgement to bear on 
Board decisions.

The Company does not have a policy to preclude its executives from entering into transactions to limit their 
economic risk from investing in Company shares, options or rights and has made executives aware of their 
obligations in relation to financial commitments against shares issued under the executive securities plan and 
has requested that they take sufficient professional advice in relation to their individual financial position. 

There  are  no  retirement  schemes  or  retirement  benefits  other  than  statutory  benefits  for  non-executive 
directors.

A. 

PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are: 

• 
• 

• 

to align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders;
to drive a high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high performing 
individuals; and 
to  ensure  remuneration  is  competitive  in  the  relevant  employment  market  place  to  support  the 
attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent.

AAMG  has  structured  a  remuneration  framework  that  is  market  competitive  and  complementary  to  the 
reward strategy of the Group.

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“NRC”) which operates in accordance 
with its charter as approved by the Board and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation 
arrangements for the Directors and the Executive Team.

The  NRC,  consisting  of  at  least  two  non-executive  directors,  is  responsible  for  making  recommendations 
on remuneration policies and packages applicable to Board members and for approval of remuneration for 
executive  officers  of  the  Group  taking  into  account  the  financial  position  of  the  Consolidated  Group.  The 
board remuneration policy per the formal charter is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects 
the  person’s  duties  and  responsibilities,  and  that  remuneration  is  competitive  in  attracting,  retaining  and 
motivating people of the highest quality.

CREATING A  LASTING LEGACY  IN HEALTHCAREASIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL GROUP LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 201831

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Constitution of the Company specifies that the aggregate remuneration of directors, other than salaries 
paid  to  executive  directors,  shall  be  determined  from  time  to  time  by  general  meeting.  An  amount  not 
exceeding the amount determined is divided between those directors as they agree. The latest determination 
was at the Annual General Meeting held on 23 November 2009 when shareholders approved an aggregate 
remuneration pool of A$200,000 per annum.

The  Board  as  a  whole  determines  the  amount  of  the  fees  paid  to  each  non-executive  director.  The 
amount  proposed  to  be  paid  to  each  non-executive  director  during  the  year  is  A$15,450-A$25,750  (2017: 
A$15,450-A$25,750).

The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components: 

• 
• 

fixed remuneration being annual salary; and
short term incentives, being employee share schemes and bonuses.

The NRC assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on a periodic basis by reference 
to recent employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit 
from the retention of a high-quality Board and Executive Team.

The payment of bonuses, share options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the NRC annually as 
part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the Board for approval.  All 
bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria.  

SHORT TERM INCENTIVE (“STI”) 

AAMG  performance  measures  involve  the  use  of  annual  performance  objectives,  metrics,  performance 
appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the Company values.

The  performance  measures  are  set  annually  after  consultation  with  the  directors  and  executives  and  are 
specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control. The measures target areas the 
Board  believes  hold  the  greatest  potential  for  expansion  and  profit  and  cover  financial  and  non-financial 
measures.

The Key Performance Indicators (“KPI’s”) for the Executive Team are summarised as follows:

Performance area:

• 
• 

financial - operating profit and earnings per share; and 
non-financial - strategic goals set by each individual business unit based on job descriptions.

The  STI  Program  incorporates  both  cash  and  share-based  components  for  the  Executive  Team  and  other 
employees.

The Board may, at its discretion, award bonuses for exceptional performance in relation to each person’s pre-
agreed KPIs.

VOTING AND COMMENTS MADE AT THE COMPANY’S LAST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

AAMG received more than 100% of ‘yes’ votes on its Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 
August 2017. The Company received no specific feedback on its Remuneration Report at the Annual General 
Meeting.

the insurance policy include all directors. 

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may 
be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Group, and any other payments arising from 
liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise 
out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their 
position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Group. 

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure 
is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the year, Grant Thornton, the Group’s auditors, performed certain other services in addition to their 
statutory audit duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance 
with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those 
non-audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•  All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group 
and have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality 
and objectivity of the auditor; and 
The non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as 
set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or 
auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, 
acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

• 

Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Group, Grant Thornton, and its related practices for audit 
and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required by section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 
for the year ended 31 August 2018 has been received as set out immediately following the end of the Directors’ 
Report.

The Report of Directors is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 August 2018

1. 

2. 

(a) 

Principle activities
Asian American Medical Group Limited (“AAMG” or “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. 
The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for year ended 31 August 2018 comprises 
the  Company  and  its  controlled  entities.  The  principal  activity  of  AAMG  is  that  of  provision  of 
specialised medical services for liver diseases and transplantation, radiation and oncology, healthcare 
project management and consultancy services and healthcare real estate. 

AAMG is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing financial statements.

Statement of significant accounting policies
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of AAMG and controlled 
entities (“Consolidated Group” or “Group”).

Basis of preparation
The  consolidated  general  purpose  financial  statements  of  the  Group  have  been  prepared  in 
accordance with the requirements of the Corporation Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and 
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with 
Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). 

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below 
and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, 
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets 
and financial liabilities.

The consolidated final report is presented in Singapore Dollars (SGD or S$) as a significant portion of 
the group’s activity is denominated in Singapore Dollars.

These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 2 
November 2018.

(b) 

Principles of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent company and all of its subsidiaries as 
of 31 August 2018. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns 
from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power 
over  the  subsidiary.  All  subsidiaries  have  a  reporting  date  of  31  August,  except  for  Gold  Bell  Asia 
American Healthcare Ventures Company, a newly incorporated subsidiary who has a reporting date 
of 31 March.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including 
unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on 
intragroup asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment 
from  a group  perspective.  Amounts  reported  in  the  financial  statements of  subsidiaries  have  been 
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  of  subsidiaries  acquired  or  disposed  of  during  the 
year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as 
applicable.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or 
loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or 
loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their 
respective ownership interests.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(c) 

Business combinations
Business  combinations  occur  where  an  acquirer  obtains  control  over  one  or  more  businesses  and 
results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination 
involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each 
business  combination  one  of  the  combining  entities  must  be  identified  as  the  acquirer  (i.e.  parent 
entity).  The  business  combination  will  be  accounted  for  as  at  the  acquisition  date,  which  is  the 
date  that  control  over  the  acquiree  is  obtained  by  the  parent  entity.  At  this  date,  the  parent  shall 
recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the 
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree 
will  be  recognised  where  a  present  obligation  has  been  incurred  and  its  fair  value  can  be  reliably 
measured.

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill (refer Note 2(j)) or a gain from a bargain 
purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of 
any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest 
is held in the acquiree.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the 
acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment 
in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred 
by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the entity 
interest issued by the acquirer.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the profit or 
loss.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or 
loss and net assets that is not held by the Group.  The Group attributes total comprehensive income 
or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on 
their respective ownership interests.

(d) 

Income tax
The income tax expense (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (benefit) and 
deferred tax expense (benefit).

Current  income  tax  expense  charged  to  the  profit  or  loss  is  the  tax  payable  on  taxable  income 
calculated using applicable income tax rates that have been enacted, or substantially enacted, as at 
reporting date.  Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred  income  tax  expense  reflects  movements  in  deferred  tax  asset  and  deferred  tax  liability 
balances during the year as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) is charged or credited directly to equity instead 
of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the 
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.  Deferred tax 
assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available.  
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding 
a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are calculated  at  the  tax  rates  that  are expected  to  apply  to  the 
period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at reporting date.  Their measurement also reflects the manner in when management expects 
to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

45

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to 
the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of 
the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the 
assumption  that  no  adverse  change  will  occur  in  income  tax  legislation  and  the  anticipation  that 
the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and 
comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(e) 

Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

The  cost  of  inventories  includes  direct  costs  associated  with  the  purchase  of  inventory  including 
transportation costs.

(f) 

Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  on  the  cost  basis  less  depreciation  and  impairment 
losses.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure 
it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed 
on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and 
subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in 
determining recoverable amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow 
to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are 
charged to the profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation
The depreciation of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to 
the Consolidated Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of fixed asset

Office equipment

Medical equipment

Computers

Furniture and fittings

Leasehold Improvements

Building

Depreciation Rate

5 years

5 years

5 years

5 years

4 years

30 years

The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each 
reporting period.

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  the  carrying  amount. 
These gains and losses are included in the profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(g) 

Leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the 
lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

The economic ownership of a leased asset is transferred to the lessee if the lessee bears substantially 
all  the  risks  and  rewards  related  to  the  ownership  of  the  leased  asset.    The  related  asset  is  then 
recognised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present 
value of the lease payments plus incidental payments, if any. A corresponding amount is recognised 
as a finance leasing liability, irrespective of whether some of these lease payments are payable up-
front at the date of inception of the lease.  Leases of land and buildings are classified separately and 
are split into a land and a building element, in accordance with the relative fair values of the leasehold 
interests at the date the asset is recognised initially. 

Depreciation methods and useful lives for assets held under finance lease agreements correspond to 
those applied to comparable assets which are legally owned by the Group. The corresponding finance 
leasing  liability  is  reduced  by  lease  payments  less  finance  charges,  which  are  expensed  as  part  of 
finance costs. 

The  interest  element  of  leasing  payments  represents  a  constant  proportion  of  the  capital  balance 
outstanding and is charged to profit or loss over the period of the lease.

(h) 

Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  entity  becomes  a  party  to  the 
contractual provisions to the instrument.  For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the 
company  commits  itself  to  either  the  purchase  or  sale  of  the  asset  (i.e.  trade  date  accounting  is 
adopted).    Financial  instruments  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus  transaction  costs  except 
where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss” in which case transaction costs 
are expensed to the profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method or cost.  Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or 
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement 
date. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value.

The Group does not designate any interest in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being 
subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

(i) Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that 
are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments
These  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  have  fixed  maturities  and  fixed  or 
determinable payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(iii) Available for sale financial assets
Available for sale financial assets are non-derivative assets that are either not suitable to be classified 
into  other  categories  of  financial  assets  due  to  their  nature  or  they  are  designated  as  such  by 
management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed 
maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

Available  for  sale  financial  assets  are  included  in  non-current  assets,  except  for  those  which  are 
expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(iv) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  (excluding  financial  guarantees)  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised cost.

(v) Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques 
are  applied  to  determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length 
transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment
At  each  reporting  date,  the  Group  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial 
instrument has been impaired. 

Derecognition
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  where  the  contractual  rights  to  receipt  of  cash  flows  expires  or 
the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing 
involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised 
where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the 
carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value 
of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in 
profit or loss.

Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value 
over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill.

Intangibles
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of 
the sum of:
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 

the consideration transferred;
any non-controlling interest; and
the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interests

over  the  acquisition  date  fair  value  of  net  identifiable  assets  acquired.  Goodwill  on  acquisition  of 
subsidiaries is included in intangible assets.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group’s cash generating units or 
groups of cash generating units, which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored by 
where such level is not larger than an operating segment.

(k)  

Investments in associates and joint arrangements
Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are 
not subsidiaries.

A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and 
over which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights 
to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities. A joint arrangement in which the Group 
has direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities is classified as a joint 
operation.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Interests in 
joint operations are accounted for by recognising the Group’s assets (including its share of any assets 
held jointly), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue from the 
sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, its share of the revenue from the sale 
of the output by the joint operation and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred 
jointly).

Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the associate or joint venture 
is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment.

The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to 
recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate 
and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the 
Group.

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures 
are  eliminated  to  the  extent  of  the  Group’s  interest  in  those  entities.  Where  unrealised  losses  are 
eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment. 

(l) 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary 
economic  environment  in  which  that  entity  operates.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
presented in Singapore dollars which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates 
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-
end  exchange  rate.  Non-monetary  items  measured  at  historical  cost  continue  to  be  carried  at  the 
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported 
at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash 
flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-monetary  items  are  recognised  directly  in 
equity  to  the  extent  that  the  gain  or  loss  is  directly  recognised  in  equity,  otherwise  the  exchange 
difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the 
Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year; and 
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are charged or credited to other comprehensive income and recognised in the 
foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

(m)  Employee benefits

Provision  is  made  for  the Group’s  liability  for  employee  benefits  arising  from  services  rendered  by 
employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year are 
measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the  liability  is  settled,  plus  related  on-costs. 
Employee benefits payable later than one year are measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market 
yields on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash 
flows.

Central Provident Fund (“CPF”)/Superannuation contributions: The Group makes contributions to 
the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore and Superannuation scheme in Australia, a defined 
contribution post-employment or pension scheme. Contributions to post-employment benefits under 
defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred.

Equity-settled  compensation:  The  Group  operates  equity-settled  share-based  payment  employee 
share  and  option  schemes.    The  fair  value  of  the  equity  to  which  employees  become  entitled  is 
measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding 
increase to an equity account.  The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price.  The fair 
value of options is ascertained using a binomial option pricing model which incorporates all market 
vesting conditions.  The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at 
the end of each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration 
for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually 
vest.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past 
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can 
be reliably measured.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits held with banks, other short-term 
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject 
to an insignificant risk of changes in values.

Revenue and other income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.  Revenue from sale 
of medication is recognised upon delivery of the medication to the patient.  Revenue from rendering 
of  medical  services  such  as  medical  consultation,  surgery  and  transplantation  is  recognised  upon 
completion  of  the  consultation  or  procedure.  Management  services  fees  are  recognised  upon  the 
rendering of management and consultancy services to and accepted by the customer.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial 
assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Management fees revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

All revenue is stated net of goods and services tax (“GST”).

(q) 

(r) 

Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting year for goods 
and  services  received  by  the  Group  during  the  reporting  year  which  remains  unpaid.  The  balance 
is  recognised  as  a  current  liability  with  the  amount  being  normally  paid  within  30  days  of  initial 
recognition.

Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) or Inland Revenue Authority 
of Singapore (“IRAS”).  In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition 
of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated in the statement of financial position inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO or IRAS is included as a current asset 
or liability in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash 
flows  arising  from  investing  and  financing  activities which  are  recoverable  from, or  payable  to,  the 
ATO or IRAS are classified as operating cash flows.

(s) 

Share-based employee remuneration
The Group operates equity-settled  share-based  remuneration  plans  for  its employees.  None of  the 
Group’s plans feature any options for a cash settlement.

All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payment are measured 
at their fair values.  Where employees are rewarded using share-based payments, the fair values of 
employees’ services are determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments 
granted.  This fair value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of non-market vesting 
conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets and performance conditions). 
All  share-based  remuneration  is  ultimately  recognised  as  an  expense  in  profit  or  loss  with  a 
corresponding credit to ‘share option reserve’. 

If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, 
based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest.  Non-market 
vesting  conditions  are  included  in  assumptions  about  the  number  of  options  that  are  expected  to 
become exercisable.  Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of 
share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates.  Any cumulative adjustment prior to 
vesting is recognised in the current period.  No adjustment is made to any expense recognised in prior 
periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting. 

Upon  exercise  of  share  options,  the  proceeds  received  net  of  any  directly  attributable  transaction 
costs up are allocated to share capital. 

(t) 

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments
Transaction costs arising from the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a 
reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are 
the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which 
would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments 
(December 2014)

AASB 139 
Financial 
Instruments: 
Recognition and 
Measurement

AASB 9 introduces new requirements 
for the classification and measurement 
of financial assets and liabilities and 
includes a forward-looking ‘expected 
loss’ impairment model and a 
substantially-changed approach to 
hedge accounting.
These requirements improve and 
simplify the approach for classification 
and measurement of financial assets 
compared with the requirements of 
AASB 139.  The main changes are:
a  Financial assets that are debt 

instruments will be classified based 
on: (i) the objective of the entity’s 
business model for managing 
the financial assets; and (ii) the 
characteristics of the contractual 
cash flows.

b  Allows an irrevocable election on 

initial recognition to present gains 
and losses on investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for 
trading in other comprehensive 
income (instead of in profit or 
loss).  Dividends in respect of these 
investments that are a return on 
investment can be recognised 
in profit or loss and there is no 
impairment or recycling on disposal 
of the instrument.

c  Introduces a ‘fair value through 
other comprehensive income’ 
measurement category for 
particular simple debt instruments.
d  Financial assets can be designated 
and measured at fair value through 
profit or loss at initial recognition if 
doing so eliminates or significantly 
reduces a measurement or 
recognition inconsistency that 
would arise from measuring assets 
or liabilities, or recognising the gains 
and losses on them, on different 
bases.

e  Where the fair value option is used 
for financial liabilities the change in 
fair value is to be accounted for as 
follows: 
• 
to changes in credit risk 
are presented in Other 
Comprehensive Income (OCI)
• 
the remaining change is 
presented in profit or loss

the change attributable 

If this approach creates or enlarges 
an accounting mismatch in the 
profit or loss, the effect of the 
changes in credit risk are also 
presented in profit or loss.

Likely impact on 
initial application

Otherwise, the following requirements 
have generally been carried forward 
unchanged from AASB 139 into 
AASB 9:
•  classification and measurement of 

financial liabilities; and

•  derecognition requirements for 
financial assets and liabilities

AASB 9 requirements regarding hedge 
accounting represent a substantial 
overhaul of hedge accounting that 
enable entities to better reflect their 
risk management activities in the 
financial statements.

Furthermore, AASB 9 introduces a new 
impairment model based on expected 
credit losses.  This model makes use of 
more forward-looking information and 
applies to all financial instruments that 
are subject to impairment accounting.

AASB 15:
•  replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 

111 Construction Contracts and some 
revenue-related Interpretations:
-  establishes a new revenue 

recognition model

-  changes the basis for deciding 

whether revenue is to be 
recognised over time or at a 
point in time

-  provides new and more detailed 
guidance on specific topics (e.g. 
multiple element arrangements, 
variable pricing, rights of return, 
warranties and licensing)

-  expands and improves 

disclosures about revenue

The entity is yet to

However, based on the 
entity’s preliminary 
assessment, the likely 
impact on the first 
time adoption of the 
Standard for the year 
ending 31 August 
2020 includes:
•  there will be a 

significant increase 
in lease assets and 
financial liabilities 
recognised on the 
balance sheet

•  the reported equity 
will reduce as the 
carrying amount 
of lease assets 
will reduce more 
quickly than the 
carrying amount of 
lease liabilities

•  EBIT in the 

statement of profit 
or loss and other 
comprehensive 
income will be 
higher as the 
implicit interest in 
lease payments for 
former off balance 
sheet leases will 
be presented as 
part of finance 
costs rather than 
being included 
in operating 
expenses

•  operating cash 
outflows will 
be lower and 
financing cash 
flows will be 
higher in the 
statement of cash 
flows as principal 
repayments on all 
lease liabilities will 
now be included in 
financing activities 
rather than 
operating activities. 
Interest can also 
be included within 
financing activities.

New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements
A number of new and revised standards became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning 
on or after 1 September 2017. Information on the more significant standard(s) is presented below.

•  AASB 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of 

Interests in Joint Operations

•  AASB  2014-4  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Clarification  of  Acceptable 

Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation

•  AASB 2014-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer Plants
•  AASB  2014-9  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Equity  Method  in  Separate 

Financial Statements

•  AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments 

to AASB 101

The adoption of this amendments has not had a material impact on the Group.

(w)  Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgements  incorporated  into  the  financial  report  based  on 
historical knowledge and best available information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of 
future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within 
the Group.

(x) 

(y) 

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income by the weighted-average number of shares 
outstanding  during  the  year.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  income  by  the 
weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year, assuming that all potentially dilutive 
securities were exercised, if dilutive. 

Key Estimates and Judgements
Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and events specific to 
the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable 
amount  of  the  asset  is  determined.  Value  in  use  calculations  and  valuations  from  independent 
valuers are performed and used in assessing recoverable amounts, these calculations and valuations 
incorporate a number of key estimates.

Please refer to Note 12 and 15 with respect to Management’s consideration of impairment of trade and 
other receivables and goodwill respectively, as at 31 August 2018.

Business combinations
Management  uses  valuation  techniques  in  determining  the  fair  values  of  the  various  elements  of 
a  business  combination  (see  Note  2(c)).  Particularly,  the  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration  is 
dependent on the outcome of many variables that affect future profitability (see Note 8).

Recognition of tax losses
Management has applied judgement to recognise the unused tax losses carried forward and differences 
in tax depreciation of plant and equipment to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits 
will be available against which they can be utilised.

Gain on Purchase on Acquisition of HDSB

On 6 March 2018, MHV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAMG, completed its acquisition of 95.1% of 
HDSB which resulted in the recognition of gain on purchase, recognised in the profit or loss statement.

Prior to the acquisition, HDSB was wholly-owned by Dato’ Dr Kai Chah Tan, the Executive Chairman 
and single largest shareholder of AAMG. HDSB owns a five acres parcel of land in Iskandar Puteri, 
in the Southern Malaysian state of Johor and intends to develop this land into an integrated cancer 
centre. AAMG will provide overall strategic services to assist with project development of the land.

Details of the transactions are as follows:

The  acquisition  of  HDSB  was  settled  partially  in  shares  and  cash,  amounting  to  S$4,296,060  and 
S$1,892,855 respectively. 40,000,000 shares were issued at an issued price of A$0.105. Acquisition 
related  costs  amounting  to  S$52,000  are  not  included  as  part  of  consideration  transferred  and 
have  been  recognised  as  an  expense  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income, as part of ‘other expenses’.

Fair value of  the  net  assets  as  at  acquisition date, comprising of  five  acres  land,  a construction  in 
progress building and other payables, exceeds the total purchase consideration, resulting in a gain 
on bargain purchase.

Conditions  precedent  to  the  subscription  agreement  for  the  acquisition  dated  20  October  2017 
was met on 2 March 2018 and shares allotment to MHV was completed on 6 March 2018. Upon the 
successful allotment of shares, AAMG controls 95.1% of HDSB.

HDSB contributed  a  net  loss of  S$105,000  to  the consolidated  profit  for  the  financial year  from  1 
September 2017 to 31 August 2018. If HDSB has been acquired on 1 September 2017, intercompany 
management  fees  of  S$391,000  would  be  eliminated  and  pre-acquisition  net  losses  of  S$14,000 
would be accounted in the consolidated profit.

Diluted earnings or loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year 
attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding  during  the  financial  year  plus  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  that 
would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

The following table reflects the profit and loss and share data used in the computation of basic and 
diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 August:

Current trade and term receivables are non-interest bearing loans and generally on 60 - 120 days 
terms. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual 
trade  or  term  receivable  is  impaired.  The  Group  reviews  its  trade  receivables  for  evidence  of 
impairment on a regular basis. The trade receivable consists mainly amounts owing by the United 
Arab  Emirates  (“UAE”)  government  agencies.  Management  holds  regular  meetings  with  the 
agencies relating to patient care feedback and collection of amounts outstanding. Management 
is of the opinion that the trade receivables are recoverable and hence, no impairment is required. 

b  Credit risk

The group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party 
or group of counter parties.

The following table details the Group’s trade receivables exposed to credit risk with ageing analysis. 
Amounts  are  considered  as  ‘past  due’  when  the  debt  has  not  been  settled,  with  the  terms  and 
conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counter party (more than 60 days) to the 
transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of 
the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may 
not be fully repaid to the Group. 

The  balances  of  receivables  that  remain  within  initial  trade  terms  are  considered  to  be  high  credit 
quality.

The ageing profile of the trade receivables as at 31 August 2018 as as follows:

The  recoverable  amount  of  a  CGU  is  based  on  value-in-use  calculations.  These  calculations  are 
based  on  projected  cash  flows  approved  by  management  covering  a  period  not  exceeding  five 
years.  Management’s  determination  of  cash  flow  projections  and  gross  margins  are  based  on  past 
performance  and  its  expectation  for  the  future.  The  present  value  of  future  cash  flows  has  been 
calculated using a discount rate of 10% and a growth rate of 5% per annum to determine value-in-use. 
In the last financial year, the liver segment incurred a loss and as the Management is uncertain about 
the profitability of AALC in the coming years, the Group wrote-off its goodwill of S$266,123 in FY2017.

Operating Segments

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components 
of  the  Consolidated  Group  that  are  regularly  reviewed  by  the  chief  operating  decision  maker,  the 
Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers), in order to allocate resources to the segment 
and to assess its performance. The Consolidated Group has identified its operating segments to be as 
follows based on distinct operational activities: 

(i)  Provision  of  medical  consultation  and  services  in  the  hepatology  and  related  fields 

(liver segment); and

(ii)  Provision of medical consultation and services in the radiation and oncology and related fields 

(radiation and oncology segment); 

(iii)  Provision of healthcare management and consultancy services (management and consultancy 

segment);

(iv)  Development  of  real  estate  projects  (healthcare  real  estate  segment),  established  through 

acquisition of HDSB (see Note 8); and

(v)  Provision of corporate management services (corporate segment).

This  is  the  basis  on  which  internal  reports  are  provided  to  the  Board  of  Directors  for  assessing 
performance  and  determining  the  allocation  of  resources  within  the  Consolidated  Group.  Unless 
stated  otherwise,  all  amounts  reported  to  the  Board  of  Directors,  being  the  chief  decision  maker 
with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are 
consistent to those adopted in the Annual Financial Statements of the group.

The current Consolidated Group operates primarily in four businesses, namely the provision of medical 
consultation and services in the hepatology, radiation and oncology, healthcare management and its 
related  field  advisory  and  healthcare  real  estate.  The  corporate  segment  relates  to  administrative 
expenses at Group level.

Details  of  the  performance  of  each  of  these  operating  segments  for  the  financial  years  ended  31 
August 2018 and 31 August 2017 are set out in the following pages:

Financial risk management policies
The Board is responsible for monitoring and managing financial risk exposures of the Group.

Specific financial risk exposures and management

The  main  risk  the  Group  is  exposed  to  include  foreign  exchange  risk,  credit  risk,  liquidity  risk  and 
treasury management risk.

(a)  Foreign exchange risk

Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial 
instrument  fluctuating due  to  movement  in  foreign exchange  rates of currencies  in which  the 
Group  holds  financial  instruments  which  are  other  than  the  functional  currency  of  the  Group 
which is the Singapore dollar. 

(i)  Risk management

The Group’s transactions are predominantly in it functional currency which is the Singapore 
dollar. The amount of asset and liability held in foreign currency is not considered material 
to the Group and hence does not hedge these asset or liability.

(ii)  Sensitivity analysis

Foreign exchange risk
A  sensitivity  analysis  of  the  impact  of  foreign  exchange  risk  is  not  shown  as  it  is  not 
considered material to the Group at the reporting date. 

CREATING A  LASTING LEGACY  IN HEALTHCAREASIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL GROUP LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 201874

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(b)  Credit risk exposures

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as 
contracted.

The credit risk on financial assets of the entity which have been recognised in the statement of 
financial position, is the carrying amount, net of any allowance for credit losses.

Credit  risk  is  managed  through  the  maintenance  of  procedures  which  ensure  to  the  extent 
possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such 
monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment.

Apart  from  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  as  disclosed  in  Note  12,  no  other  receivables  are 
considered past due or impaired.

(c)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its 
debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. 

All financial assets and liabilities as disclosed above have maturities within one year for the 31 
August 2018 financial year.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows.

(d)  Treasury risk management

The  Board  meets  on  a  regular  basis  to  analyse  financial  risk  exposure  and  evaluate  treasury 
management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The 
Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Consolidated Group in meeting its 
financial targets, whilst maintaining the effects on financial performance. Risk is also minimised 
through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating or in 
entities that the Board has otherwise cleared as being financially sound.

(e)  Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability 
in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The carrying values of financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of Asian American Medical Group Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Asian American Medical Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 August 2018, the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, 
including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the Directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 August 2018 and of its performance for the year 

ended on that date; and  

b  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are 
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are 
independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and 
the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Key audit matters  
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial 
report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter 
Revenue recognition – note 2(p), 3 and 12 
The Group generated S$17,477,029 in revenue for the year 
ended 31 August 2018. Revenue is predominately generated 
from specialised medical services which are driven by patient 
volumes. Revenue from the sale of medication is recognised 
at the point of delivery to the patient. There is a risk of 
improper revenue recognition, particularly with the occurrence 
of revenues at year end given the significant size of accounts 
receivable at 31 August 2018. 

Revenue was considered a key audit matter as it represents a 
key measurement of the Group’s performance and growth. 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 
  Documenting the processes and assessing the internal 
controls relating to revenue processing and recognition 
for significant revenue streams; 

  Performing analytical procedures by comparing against 
audit expectations to understand the movements and 
trends in revenue; 

  Analysing a sample of revenue transactions from the 
general ledger to source data to confirm appropriate 
revenue recognition had been applied; 

  Performing cut off testing to ensure that revenue 

transactions around year end have been recorded in the 
correct period; 

  Reviewing the aging profiles of accounts receivable to 

identify any issues in aging that warrant further 
investigation; 

  Confirming a sample of customer balances to subsequent 

receipts, contracts and invoices, and government 
guarantees where applicable; and  

  Assessing the adequacy of the Group's revenue 
disclosures within the financial statements. 

Gain on purchase relating to acquisition of HDSB – note 
2(c) and 8   
On 6 March 2018, Million Health Ventures Pte Ltd ("MVH") 
completed the acquisition of 95.1% Hippocrates Development 
Sdn Bhd (“HDSB”). Prior to the acquisition, HDSB was wholly 
owned by Dato’ Dr Tan Kai Chah, the Executive Chairman 
and single largest shareholder of AAMG. 

In accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations, a 
business combination is accounted for by applying the 
acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities 
or businesses under common control. 

The Group has determined that the transaction, which 
completed on 6 March 2018, met the conditions in AASB 3 
and applied the acquisition method of accounting resulting in a 
bargain gain on purchase of $1,560,772. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the technical complexity 
of the transaction, the judgements and estimates used in the 
valuation of net assets acquired and the allocation of the 
purchase price, which resulted in the bargain gain on 
acquisition. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  Reviewing the terms and conditions of the share 

purchase agreement; 

  Reviewing management’s technical accounting position 

paper relating to the transaction, including assessment of 
the sufficiency of the judgements and estimates taken in 
accounting for this acquisition under AASB 3; 
  Evaluating management’s expert engaged in the 

valuation of the key asset acquired in the business 
combination; 

  Reviewing the report prepared by the valuation expert in 
relation to the valuation of the key asset acquired in the 
business combination;  

  Evaluating the assessment performed by auditors 

experts, used in the assessment of the purchase price 
allocation; and 

  Assessing the adequacy of the Group's disclosures within 

the financial statements. 

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 
Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 August 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance 
conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider 
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are 
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report  
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors 
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 
Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report  
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing 
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report. 

Report on the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report 
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ report for the year ended 31 August 2018.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Asian American Medical Group Limited, for the year ended 31 August 2018 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities 
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance 
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, 
based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
