CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Despite being a relatively young 

our capabilities continue to grow, enabling us to provide 

company, Civmec Ltd has shown 

additional services to further meet our clients’ needs. 

great maturity over the past 12 

months in its ability to handle the 

outstanding growth for the year. I 

am pleased to report that our 

revenue has increased by 439% 

from S$61.0 million to S$328.6 

million for the current financial year ended 30 June 2012. 

In turn, the Group’s net profit after tax has grown by 

303% from S$7.5 million to S$30.3 million. In line with 

our performance, the Board recommends a first and final 

dividend of 0.6 Singapore cents per ordinary share, subject 

to the approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming 

Annual General Meeting.

We have come a long way since the first sod turning 

ceremony officiated by the Minister for Commerce Troy 

Buswell MLA in December 2009.Our goal of developing 

our company into a multi-disciplined organisation with 

diversified core business capabilities strongly focused 

on servicing the resources, utilities and infrastructure 

sectors has come to fruition. In such a short but exciting 

time we have built and equipped our world-class, heavy 

engineering, waterfront facility in Henderson as well 

as grown our precast concrete and site civil concrete 

construction businesses. At the same time, we have 

also succeeded in securing several major contracts from 

prominent resource companies.

The highlight of the year was the successful listing of 

the company on the Singapore Exchange Main Board. 

I would like to personally thank all the staff and external 

professionals involved for their tireless efforts leading up 

to the listing of Civmec Ltd.  The Initial Public Offering 

raised S$20.4 million and has given the company great 

Construction of the new office building is well underway 

and is expected to be completed by March 2013. This will 

provide one of the cornerstones needed for our future 

growth.

Another achievement I proudly acknowledge is the 

extensive pool of talent that we have built across our 

company. During a time of change and growth, the 

management and employees of the company have 

shown great dedication and strength in meeting all of the 

challenges confronting them; the result being a strong 

culture of achievement. I would like to thank all staff and 

employees for their contribution and commitment to the 

company over this period. The road forward may not always 

be smooth and we may face challenges from time to 

time, but by continuing to apply our ethics of professional 

dedication, loyalty, unity and innovation to everything we 

do, I have no doubt that we will continue to grow and 

succeed.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to my fellow Board 

members. Their guidance and support during this time 

has been most valuable, giving us the needed counsel to 

continue with our strategic endeavours.

Finally, I would like to extend my appreciation to all our 

shareholders who showed tremendous support at our initial 

listing in April 2012 and thereafter. The trust you placed in 

us is an inspiration to everyone at Civmec Ltd to continue 

to pursue our quest to build a strong, safe and secure 

organization with a bright future.

Yours Sincerely

a highly sought-after multi-disciplinary contractor. 

Our focus to build a strong team of complementary 

HIGHLIGHTS

We have had many highlights during the year, such as:  

management personnel with the knowledge to tap into 

•  Commencing major projects for BHP, Chevron, 

the enormous opportunities open to a company with 

Metso, SKM, Rio Tinto and others.

boundless energy and a “can do” attitude remains 

unchanged. 

•  We were a finalist in Rio Tinto’s ‘Excellence in 

the Provision of Construction’ award only a few 

 The commitment and the quality inherent in our 

months into our first major civil projects for them.

•  We were also winners of a ‘Best Contractor’ 

award for the civil work on the Marandoo project.

•  The award of a contract for the fabrication and 

assembly of a single cell tandem iron ore rail 

car dumper for Metso Minerals – the first of its 

kind ever to be fabricated – was undoubtedly an 

important achievement. In August 2012 we were 

the winning entrant for the design and mechanical 

assembly of the car dumper, an award jointly 

shared with Metso Minerals and sponsored by the 

Australian Steel Institute.

team have enabled us to secure major contracts in 

the mining, oil and gas sectors. As a result, Civmec 

was awarded several large fabrication and assembly 

packages, as well as major civil and precast work. 

The prospects in the mining and oil and gas 

industries remain strong. Major companies such as 

BHP Billiton (BHPB), Rio Tinto and Chevron have all 

made substantial commitments toward expanding 

their operations over the next few years. A total of 

approximately $103.22 billion dollars of work is in 

progress or committed in WA alone, with a further 

approximately $71.9 billion dollars in the feasibility 

stage. (1)

Projects such as BHPB Iron Ore’s 220 MTPA capacity 

expansion, Rio Tinto Iron Ore’s 330 MTPA capacity 

expansion, Chevron’s LNG Gorgon Project, Chevron’s 

Wheatstone LNG Project and Ichthys’ Gas Inpex 

LNG Project are just some of the committed and in-

progress projects.

our shareholders at our forthcoming Annual General 

Meeting. 

SAFETY

We have witnessed substantial improvement in the 

safety culture across our entire company in the last 

year. We have instilled an understanding that “safety 

begins with you” and adopted a “Safe Day Good Day” 

culture. The necessity for a safe work environment 

is developed from the ground upwards and strongly 

supported and endorsed by management.

Furthermore, we quickly identified the necessity for a 

cultural overhaul when we witnessed large increases 

of personnel in the second quarter FY 2012. With 

new people coming on board in large numbers, 

we alleviated the risk of unsafe work practices by 

rigorously addressing this matter over a quarter period 

and witnessed promising results within a short time 

Successful listing on the SGX in April 2012. The funds 

raised are among some of the key factors necessary 

for the implementation of our growth strategy in the 

coming year.

to our Pilbara work sites, where we have had long

injury-free periods.

period.

Strong revenue increases were witnessed across all 

operational sectors, the biggest being in the mining 

and other sector which grew 1,300% to S$249 million.

Realised profits coupled with the successful IPO 

capital raising exercise in April 2012, grew our equity 

by 306% to S$86.4 million. Earnings per share rose 

from 1.50 cents per share in FY2011 to 6.05 cents per 

share for FY2012. The overall financial result for the 

year is one that we are very proud to present to our 

shareholders.

As a result of our performance over the year the 

We are pleased to consider a safe workplace as just 

a normal way of doing business at Civmec’s facilities 

and sites.

OUR PEOPLE

We have invested in training and developing our 

people with the intent to organically fill management 

and supervising roles as much as possible, as we 

embark on our expansion plans. As our existing 

business units expand and we enter new areas of 

business, supervision and management are potential 

risks areas that we are striving to reduce by adopting 

this proactive approach.

INSULATION - Cape Civmec Insulation Group 

(CCIG) 

CCIG is a company that is equally owned by 

Cape Australia Investments Pty Ltd (listed on the 

London Stock Exchange and a provider of essential 

non-mechanical industrial services) and Civmec.  

Established to carry out industrial insulation projects 

throughout Australia, CCIG was called upon to carry 

out extensive remedial work on the Woodside Pluto 

project between August 2011 and March 2012. The 

work involved in this project required the mobilisation 

of a 170 man workforce that was predominantly 

employed through a recruitment campaign in the 

UK and brought to Australia under a special project

BUSINESS UNITS

FABRICATION 

The fabrication facility witnessed the largest growth 

in this period. This is one of the key challenges that 

is putting pressure on our personnel and systems 

to perform. Throughout the year we have continually 

refined our processes, procedures and systems. This, 

coupled with maturing project teams, allows us to 

continuously improve our productivity and service 

quality to our clients.

SITE CIVIL 

We have successfully met all requirements on the site 

civil projects undertaken this period. All challenges, 

including significant increases in resources to 

accelerate the completion of one project, were 

The success of our precast division over the past 

12 months has been recognised in the construction 

industry and has led other clients to investigate the 

possibilities and benefits of using precast for their 

projects. The concept allows for work on the projects 

to commence before bulk earthworks is complete, 

having good schedule impact as well as addressing 

the issues surrounding remote accommodation and 

the cost of labour in remote locations. At its peak, 

Civmec’s Henderson facility was the largest consistent 

user of concrete in the state according to supplier 

information. Our location, facility size and capacity has 

been integral to the precast business opportunities. 

We have manufactured single precast concrete 

structures in excess of 3,000 tonnes.

A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2011/2012

We accept that we are still growing and can still 

improve and see this as a constant reason to revisit 

our methods of doing business.

Our goal however has not changed. Civmec wants 

to deliver shareholder satisfaction, build a strong 

reputation for being a supplier who delivers, and be an 

employer of choice.

With our vision and commitment deeply entrenched 

in our minds, we look forward to the coming year 

and beyond and seek to scale new heights of growth 

with our team, with the support and trust from our

shareholders.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Civmec has entered a short phase of consolidation 

and re-energising before we embark on a long-term 

expansion program. Presently, our primary focus is 

on tendering fabrication, precast and site civil works. 

Maturity and retention of our project teams, among 

which include engineers and supervisors, has placed 

us in a strong position to continue and carry out 

projects that meet the satisfaction of our clients.

Our next area of focus in early 2013 will be to secure 

structural, mechanical and piping (SMP) projects. 

We have been developing a team of managers 

and supervisors in this area, and they have been 

performing modular assembly works at our Henderson 

facility. We are currently sourcing for cranes and other 

equipment to enter this market.

We regularly revisit our supply chain options to ensure 

that we are getting the best service from our suppliers 

and contractors, both financially and service wise. 

Our suppliers now have a clearer understanding of 

our business requirements and, in many cases, have 

adapted their own business practices to best suit our 

needs.

and  except  that  certain  directors  have  employment  relationships  with  the  Company  and  have 
received remuneration in that capacity.

Share Options 

Civmec Employee Share Option Scheme 

The  Civmec  Employee  Share  Option  Scheme  (the  “CESOS”)  for  key  management  personnel  and

The Remuneration Committee (the “RC”) administering the Scheme comprises directors, Mr. Wong 
Fook Choy Sunny (Chairman of the Committee), Mr. Chong Tek Sin and Mr. Chelva Retnam Rajah. 

The CESOS forms an integral and important component of the employee compensation plan, which 
is designed to primarily reward and retain key management and employees of the Company whose 
services are integral to the success and the continued growth of the Company. 

Principal terms of the Scheme 

(i) 

Participants 

Under  the  rules  of  the  Scheme,  executive  and  non-executive  directors  (including 
independent  directors)  and  employees  of  the  Company,  who  are  not  Controlling 
Shareholders or their associates, are eligible to participate in the Scheme. 

Persons  who  are  Controlling  Shareholders  and  their  Associates  shall  not  participate  in  the 
CESOS unless: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

written justification has been provided to Shareholders for their participation at the 
introduction of the CESOS or prior to the first grant of Options to them; 

the  actual  number  and  terms  of  any  Options  to  be  granted  to  them  have  been 
specifically  approved  by  Shareholders  who  are  not  beneficiaries  of  the  grant  in  a

all  conditions  for  their  participation  in  the  CESOS  as  may  be  required  by  the

Options in circumstances which include the termination of the participant’s employment in 
the Company, the bankruptcy of the participant, the death of the participant, a take-over of 
the Company and the winding-up of the Company.

Audit Committee (cont’d) 

The Audit Committee carried out its functions in accordance with Section 201B(5) of the Singapore 
Companies Act, Cap 50. In performing those functions, the Committee: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

(e) 

(f) 

(g) 

reviewed  legal  and  regulatory  matters  that  may  have  a  material  impact  on  the  financial 
statements,  related  compliance  policies  and  programmes  and  any  reports  received  from 
regulators; 

reviewed interested person transactions, if any, in accordance with the requirements of the 
Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited’s Listing Manual; 

reviewed the effectiveness of the Company’s material internal controls, including financial, 
operational  and  compliance  controls  and  risk  management  via  reviews  carried  out  by  the 
external auditors; 

reviewed the audit plan of the Company’s independent auditors and, if any, their report on 
any recommendations on internal accounting controls arising from the statutory audit; 

reviewed the assistance given by the Company’s management to the independent auditors; 

reviewed  the  quarterly  and  annual  statement  of  financial  position  of  the  Company  and  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group  for  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2012 
before their submission to the Board of Directors, as well as the independent auditor’s report 
on  the  statement  of  financial  position  of  the  Company  and  the  consolidated  financial 
statements of the Group; and 

recommended to the Board of Directors the independent auditors to be nominated, approve 
the compensation of the auditors, and review the scope and results of the audit. 

The Audit Committee, having reviewed all non-audit services provided by the external auditors to 
the Group, is satisfied that the nature and extent of such services would not affect the independence 
of  the  external  auditors.  The  Audit  Committee  has  also  conducted  a  review  of  interested  person 
transactions. 

The Audit Committee convened two meetings during the year with full attendance from all members. 
The  Audit  Committee  has  also  met  with  the  external  auditors,  without  the  presence  of  the 
Company’s management, at least once a year. 

The Audit Committee is satisfied with the independence and objectivity of the independent auditors 
and  has  recommended  to  the  Board  of  Directors  that  the  auditors,  Moore  Stephens  LLP,  be 
nominated for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company. 

Based  on  the  internal  controls  established  and  maintained  by  the  Group,  work  performed  by  the 
external  auditors  and  in-house  internal  auditor,  and  reviews  performed  by  the  management,  the 
Audit  Committee  and  the  Board  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  Group’s  internal  controls,  addressing 
financial, operational and compliance risks, were adequate as at 30 June 2012. 

Further details regarding the Audit Committee are set out in the report on Corporate Governance.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
F I N A N C I A L   R E P O R T S

Introduction 

The  Board  of  Directors  (the  “Board”)  and  the  Management  of  Civmec  Limited  (“Civmec”  or  “the 
Company”)  recognise  the  importance  of  good  corporate  governance  in  ensuring  greater  transparency, 
protecting the interests of its shareholders as well as strengthening investors’ confidence in its management 
and  financial  reporting  and  is,  accordingly,  committed  to  maintaining  a  high  standard  of  corporate 
governance within the Group.  

This Report describes the Company’s corporate governance practices with specific reference to the Code of 
Corporate Governance 2005 (“Code”).  Where there are deviations from the Code, appropriate explanations 
are provided.  

Board’s Conduct of Affairs 

Principle 1: Effective board to lead and control the Company. The Board is collectively responsible for the 
success of the Company. The Board works with Management to achieve this and the Management remains 
accountable to the Board. 

The primary role of the Board is to protect and enhance long-term shareholders’ value and to ensure that the 
Company  is  run  in  accordance  with  best  international  management  and  corporate  governance  practices, 
appropriate to the needs and development of the Company.  

Apart  from  its  statutory  duties  and  responsibilities,  the  Board  oversees  the  management  and  affairs  of  the 
Group  and  approves  the  Group’s  corporate  strategy  and  direction.      The  Board  is  also  responsible  for 
implementing policies in relation to financial matters, which include risk management and internal control 
and  compliance.    In  addition,  the  Board  reviews  the  financial  performance  of  the  Group,  approves 
investment proposals and sets values and standards for the Company and Group.   

The Board has delegated the day-to-day management of the Group to Management headed by the Executive 
Chairman, Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Patrick John Tallon and the Chief 
Operating  Officer,  Mr  Kevin  James  Deery.  Matters  that  are  specifically  reserved  for  the  approval  of  the 
Board include, among others:

Board’s Conduct of Affairs (cont’d) 

The  Company  has  adopted  a  Policy  on  signing  limits,  setting  out  the  level  of  authorisation  required  for 
specific transactions, including those that require Board approval.  

All  the  Board  members  are  actively  engaged  and  play  an  important  role  in  ensuring  good  corporate 
governance within the Company. Visits to the Company’s business premises are also arranged to acquaint 
the non-executive Directors with the Company’s operations and ensure that the Directors are familiar with 
the Company’s business, policies and governance practices.  

The profile of each Director is presented in the section headed “Board of Directors” of this Annual Report.  

The  Directors  have  access  to  the  Company  Secretary  and  Management.  They  may  also  seek  independent 
professional  advice  concerning  the  Company’s  affairs  when  necessary.    Prior  to  their  respective 
appointments to the Board, each of the Directors was given an orientation and induction programme, so as to 
familiarise them with the Company’s business activities, strategic directions, policies and key new projects.  
In addition, newly appointed directors are also introduced to the senior management team.  

To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established several Board Committees namely; 
Audit Committee (“AC”), Nominating Committee (“NC”), Remuneration Committee (“RC”) and Risks and 
Conflicts  Committee  (“RCC”).  These  committees  function  within  clearly  defined  terms  of  references  and 
operating procedures, which are reviewed on a regular basis. The effectiveness of these committees is also 
constantly  monitored  and  reviewed  by  the  Board.  The  roles  and  responsibilities  of  these  committees  are 
provided for in the latter sections of this report.   

The Board meets on a regular basis and as when necessary, to address any specific significant matters that 
may arise. Board meetings are scheduled in advance.   

The Articles of Association of the Company provide for directors to conduct meetings by teleconferencing 
or  videoconferencing  or  other  similar  means  of  communication  whereby  all  persons  participating  in  the 
meeting are able to hear each other.  The Board and Board Committees may also make decisions by way of 
circulating resolutions.

Board Composition and Guidance 

Principle 2: Strong and independent element on the Board. 

The Board comprises six (6) Directors, three (3) of whom are Executive Directors and the remaining three (3) 
directors  being  Independent  Directors.  The  Company  has  adopted  the  Code’s  definition  of  “Independent 
Director” and its guidance in respect of relationships which would deem a Director to be regarded as non-
independent.    This  composition  exceeds  the  Code’s  requirement  of  at  least  one-third  of  the  Board  of 
Directors to comprise independent Directors.  

The Board, in consideration of the complexity and nature of operations of the Company, considers its current 
size to be adequate for effective decision-making.   

On an annual basis and upon notification by an Independent Director of a change in circumstances, the NC 
will review the independence of each Independent Director based on the criteria for independence defined in 
the Code and recommends to the Board as to whether the Director is to be considered independent. The NC 
has reviewed and determined that the Independent Directors are independent.  

In  order  to  strengthen  the  independence  of  the  Board,  the  Company  has  appointed  a  Lead  Independent 
Director,  Mr  Chong  Teck  Sin,  to  co-ordinate  and  lead  the  Independent  Directors  and  to  provide  a  non-
executive perspective and to contribute a healthy balance of view-points.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 

Principle  3:  Clear  division  of  responsibilities  at  the  top  of  the  Company.  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive 
Officer to be separate persons to ensure appropriate balance of power, increased accountability and greater 
capacity of the Board for independent decision makings. 

Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald is the Executive Chairman of the Company, while Mr Patrick John Tallon is the 
Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). 

With the separation of roles, the Chairman will bear responsibility for providing guidance on the corporate 
direction of the Group and leadership to the Board, and the CEO will have executive responsibility for the 
Company’s business.  The Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are not related.  

The Chairman ensures that Board meetings are held when necessary and sets the agenda in consultation with 
other  Directors.  The  Chairman  reviews  all  Board  papers,  prior  to  their  being  presented  to  the  Board,  and 
ensures that Board members are provided with complete, accurate and timely information on a regular basis 
to enable them to be fully cognisant of the affairs of the Company. 

Board Membership 

Principle 4: There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment of new directors to the 
Board. 

The Company has established a NC to make recommendations to the Board on all board appointments. The 
NC  comprises  all  the  three  Independent  Non-Executive  Directors  namely  Mr  Chelva  Retnam  Rajah,  Mr 
Wong Fook Choy Sunny and Mr Chong Teck Sin.    

The NC is chaired by Mr Chelva Retnam Rajah, who is not associated with any substantial shareholders of 
the Company.  

According to the written terms of reference of the NC, the NC performs the following functions: 

(a)  

(b) 

(c) 

nominate  director  (including  Independent  Directors)  taking  into  consideration  each  Director’s 
contribution,  performance  and  ability  to  commit  sufficient  time  and  attention  to  the  affairs  of  the 
Group taking into account the Directors’ respective commitments outside the Group;  

review  and  recommend  to  the  Board  the  composition  of  the  Audit  Committee,  Remuneration 
Committee and Risks and Conflicts Committee; 

re-nominate directors for re-election in accordance with the Articles of Association at each annual

Board Membership (cont’d) 

The process for the selection and appointment of new Board members is as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the  NC  evaluates  the  balance  of  skills,  knowledge  and  experience  of  the  Board  and,  in  light  of  such 
evaluation  and  in  consultation  with  the  Board,  prepares  a  description  of  the  role  and  the  essential  and 
desirable competencies for a particular appointment;  

If  required,  the  NC  may  engage  consultants  to  undertake  research  on,  or  assess,  candidates  for  new 
positions on the  Board; 

the NC meets with short-listed candidates to assess their suitability and to ensure that the candidates are 
aware of the expectations; and 

the NC makes recommendations to the Board for approval.  

Pursuant to the Articles of the Company, all the Directors are required to retire from office at every Annual 
General  Meeting  (“AGM”)  of  the  Company.      A  retiring  Director  is  eligible  and  may  be  nominated  for  
re-election.  However,  Mr  Chelva  Retnam  Rajah  has  notified  the  Company  of  his  intention  not  to  seek  
re-election.  Accordingly,  Mr  Chelva  Retnam  Rajah  will  cease  to  be  a  Director  of  the  Company  at  the 
conclusion of the forthcoming AGM. 

After due review, the Board had accepted the recommendation of the NC and, accordingly, the below named 
Directors will be offering themselves for re-election:

The  NC  evaluated  the  Board’s  performance  as  a  whole  and  the  contribution  of  each  Director  to  the 
effectiveness of the Board.  The NC has adopted a formal process and criteria to assess the effectiveness of 
the Board and each of the directors.  The evaluation is carried out annually.  

To-date, none of the Independent Directors of the Group has been appointed as Director of the Company’s 
principal subsidiaries. The Board and the Management are of the view that the current Board structure in the 
principal subsidiaries are already well organised and constituted. The Board and Management will from time 
to  time  renew  the  Board  Structure  of  the  principal  subsidiaries  and  will  make  an  appropriate  corporate 
decision to consider the appointment of the Independent Director into the principal subsidiaries.

Board Performance 

Principle 5: Formal assessment of the effectiveness of  the Board  as a whole and  the  contribution by each 
director to the effectiveness of the Board. 

The NC undertakes an annual formal review and evaluation of both the Board’s performance as a whole, as 
well  as  individual  Director’s  performance,  such  as  attendance  record  at  meetings  and  the  contribution  of 
individual Directors, and reports the outcome to the Board. The Chairman of the Board may take actions as 
may be appropriate according to the results of the performance evaluation, which will be based on objective 
performance criteria proposed by the NC and approved by the Board. 

As  the  Company  is  recently  listed  on  the  SGX-ST,  the  consideration  of  the  Company’s  share  price 
performance over a five (5) year period is not applicable.  However, the Board will review this performance 
criterion when relevant.  

The NC has assessed the Board’s performance to-date and is of the view that the performance of the Board 
as  a  whole  is  satisfactory.  The  NC  is  satisfied  that  despite  some  of  the  Directors  having  board 
representations  in  other  non-Group  Board  representations,  the  Directors  are  able  to  and  have  adequately 
carried out their duties as Directors of the Company. 

Access to Information 

Principle 6: Board members should be provided with complete, adequate and timely information on an on-
going basis. 

The Board has separate and independent access to the senior Management of the Company and the Company 
Secretaries  at  all  times.  Request  for  information  are  dealt  with  promptly  by  Management.  The  Board  is 
informed of all material events and transactions as and when they occur. The Management consults Board 
members as necessary and appropriate. Detailed board papers and agenda are sent out to the Directors prior 
to  each  meeting  so  that  all  Directors  may  better  understand  the  issues  beforehand,  allowing  more  time  at 
such meetings for questions and deliberations that the Directors may have.  

The Company Secretaries administer, attend and document all Board meetings, and assist the Chairman in 
implementing  appropriate  Board  procedures  to  facilitate  effective  compliance  with  the  Company’s 
Memorandum  and  Articles  of  Association.    The  Company  Secretaries  also  ensure  the  requirements  of  the 
Companies  Act  (Chapter  50)  of  Singapore,  Listing  Manual  and  other  relevant  rules  and  regulations 
applicable to the Company are complied with.  The Company Secretaries work together with the respective 
divisions of the Company to ensure that the Company complies with all relevant rules and regulations.  The 
appointment and removal of the Company Secretaries are subject to the approval of the Board.  

The Board in fulfilling its responsibilities can, as a collective body or individually as Board members, when 
deemed fit, direct the Company, at the Company’s expense, to appoint independent professionals to render 
advice.

Remuneration Matters 

Principle  7:  The  policy  on  executive  remuneration  and  for  fixing  remuneration  packages  of  individual 
directors  should  be  formal  and  transparent.  No  director  should  be  involved  in  deciding  his  own 
remuneration. 

The  Company  had  established  a  RC  to  make  recommendations  to  the  Board  on  remuneration  packages  of 
individual  Directors  and  key  executives.  The  RC  comprises  all  the  three  Independent  Non-Executive 
Directors  namely  Mr  Wong  Fook  Choy  Sunny,  Mr  Chelva  Retnam  Rajah  and  Mr  Chong  Teck  Sin  and  is 
chaired by Mr Wong Fook Choy Sunny.  

According to the written terms of reference of the RC, the functions of the RC are as follows: 

(a) 

recommend  to  the  Board  a  framework  of  remuneration  for  the  directors  and  key  management 
personnel; 

(b) 

determine specific remuneration packages for each executive director;  

(c) 

review annually the remuneration of employees related to the directors and substantial shareholders 
to  ensure  that  their  remuneration  packages  are  in  line  with  the  staff  remuneration  guidelines  and 
commensurate with their respective job scopes and level of responsibilities; 

(d) 

perform such other acts as may be required by the SGX-ST and the Code from time to time. 

The recommendations of the RC should be submitted for endorsement by the entire Board. Each member of 
the RC shall abstain from voting on any resolutions in respect of his own remuneration packages. Also, in 
the event that a member of the RC is related to the employee under review, he will abstain from participating 
in the review. Directors shall not be involved in the discussion and in deciding their own remuneration. 

The RC has established a framework of remuneration for the Board and key executives covering all aspects 
of  remuneration  but  not  limited  to  directors’  fees,  salaries,  allowances,  bonuses,  incentives  schemes  and 
benefits-in-kind. 

The RC also oversees the administration of the Civmec Employee Share Option Scheme (“Option Scheme”) 
(and  such  other  similar  share  plans  as  may  be  implemented  by  the  Company  from  time  to  time)  upon  the 
terms of reference as defined in the said Option Scheme.  The Option Scheme was established on 27 March 
2012 and has a 10 year tenure which expires on 27 March 2022.

Remuneration Matters (cont’d) 

Principle  8:  Remuneration  of  directors  should  be  adequate  but  not  excessive.  A  significant  proportion  of 
executive  directors’  remuneration  should  be  structured  so  as  to  link  rewards  to  corporate  and  individual 
performance. 

In  making  its  recommendations  to  the  Board  on  the  level  and  mix  of  remuneration,  the  RC  strives  to  be 
competitive,  linking  rewards  with  performance.    It  takes  into  consideration  the  essential  factors  to  attract, 
retain and motivate the Directors and senior management needed to run the Company successfully, linking 
rewards to corporate and individual performance, and aligning their interest with those of the shareholders.  

Staff remuneration comprises a fixed and a variable component, the latter of which is in the form of bonus 
linked to the performance of the individual as well as the Company.  In addition, short-term and long-term 
incentives,  such  as  the  Company’s  Option  Scheme,  are  in  place  to  strengthen  the  pay-for-performance 
framework by rewarding and recognising the key executives’ contributions to the growth of the Company. 

The  Company  has  entered  into  service  agreements  with  the  Executive  Directors,  Mr  James  Finbarr 
Fitzgerald, Mr Patrick John Tallon and Mr Kevin James Deery. Each service agreement is valid for an initial 
period of three years with effect from the date of the Company’s admission to the Official List of the SGX-
ST.  Upon the expiry of the initial period of three years, the employment of each Executive Director shall be 
renewed for a further three years on such terms as may be agreed by the RC unless either party notifies the 
other party by giving three months’ written notice of his intention not to renew the employment.  During the 
initial period of 3 years, either party may terminate the Service Agreement at any time by giving to the other 
party not less than six months’ notice in writing, or in lieu of notice, payment of the amount equivalent to six 
months’ salary.  The Executive Directors do not receive Directors’ fees.  The Executive Directors and senior 
Management  employees’  remuneration  packages  are  based  on  service  contracts  and  their  remuneration  is 
determined having due regard to the performance of the individuals, the Group as well as market trends.  

The  remuneration  of  the  Independent  Directors  is  in  the  form  of  a  fixed  fee  which  will  be  subject  to 
shareholders’  approval  at  the  AGM.  Each  member  of  the  RC  abstains  from  voting  on  any  resolution, 
participating in any deliberation of the RC, and making any recommendation in respect of his remuneration.

Accountability and Audit 

Principle  10:  The  Board  should  present  a  balanced  and  understandable  assessment  of  the  Company’s 
performance, position and prospects. 

The  Board  is  responsible  to  provide  a  balanced  and  understandable  assessment  of  the  Company’s 
performance, position and prospects, to its shareholders, the public and regulators. The Board is accountable 
to  its  shareholders  and  is  mindful  of  its  obligations  to  furnish  timely  information  and  to  ensure  full 
disclosure of material information to its shareholders in compliance with the statutory requirements and the 
Listing Manual. 

Price  sensitive  information  will  be  publicly  released  either  before  the  Company  meets  with  any  of  the 
Company’s  investors  or  analysts  or  simultaneously  with  such  meetings.  Financial  results  and  statutory 
corporate announcements of the Company are disseminated through announcements via SGXNET.

Accountability and Audit (cont’d) 

The AC has reviewed the external auditors’ non-audit services and is satisfied that the nature and extent of 
such  services  have  not  prejudiced  the  independence  and  objectivity  of  the  external  auditors.  The  AC 
recognises the need to maintain a balance between the independence and objectivity of the external auditors 
and the work carried out by the external auditors based on value for money consideration. 

The aggregate amount of non-audit fees paid to the external auditors amounted to approximately $12,000 for 
tax  services  and  $175,000  for  the  initial  public  offering  (the  “IPO”)  work  during  the  financial  year  under 
review. 

The  AC  has  recommended  to  the  Board  the  re-appointment  of  Messrs  Moore  Stephens  LLP  as  the 
Company’s external auditors. 

The Company confirms that Rules 712 and 715 of the Listing Manual have been complied with. 

The Company has established the whistle-blowing policy where staff of the Group may, in confidence, raise 
concerns about possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting, fraudulent acts and other matters, and 
ensure  that  arrangements  are  in  place  for  independent  investigations  of  such  matters  and  for  appropriate 
follow up actions. 

Principle 12 - Maintains a sound system of internal controls to safeguard the shareholders’ investments and 
the Company’s assets. 

The Group’s internal controls and systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity 
and  reliability  of  the  financial  information  and  to  safeguard  and  maintain  accountability  of  assets. 
Procedures are in place to identify major business risks and evaluate potential financial effects, as well as for 
the authorisation of capital expenditure and investments.  

The external auditors carry out, in the course of their statutory audit, an annual review of the effectiveness of 
the  Group’s  key  internal  controls,  including  financial,  operational  and  compliance  controls  as  well  as  risk 
management to the extent of their scope as laid out in their audit plan. Any material weaknesses in internal 
controls, together with recommendation for improvement, are reported to the AC. 

It is the opinion of the Board that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the system of internal controls 
maintained by the Company’s Management and that was in place throughout the financial year and up to the 
date of this report provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material financial misstatements 
or  losses,  and  includes  the  safeguarding  of  assets,  the  maintenance  of  proper  accounting  records,  the 
reliability  of  financial  information,  compliance  with  appropriate  legislation,  regulations  and  best  practices, 
and the identification and containment of financial, operational and compliance risks.

A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2011/2012

Accountability and Audit (cont’d) 

The Board notes that all internal control systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate risks and no 
system of internal controls could provide absolute assurance against the occurrence of material errors, poor 
judgment in decision-making, human error losses, fraud or other irregularities.  

Principle 13 - Establish an internal audit function that is independent of the activities it audits. 

The Board recognises the importance of maintaining an internal audit function, independent of the activities 
it  audits,  to  maintain  a  sound  system  of  internal  control  within  the  Company  to  safeguard  shareholders’ 
investments and Company’s assets. 

The  Company’s  internal  audit  function  is  outsourced  to  Messrs  Deloitte  Touche  Tohmatsu,  who  is 
independent  of  the  Company’s  business  activities.  The  internal  auditors  conduct  audits  based  on  the 
standards set by internationally recognized professional bodies.  The internal audit plan is submitted to the 
AC for approval prior to the commencement of the internal audit work.   The internal auditors review the 
effectiveness of key internal controls in accordance with the internal audit plan.  The internal auditors have a 
direct  and  primary  reporting  line  to  the  AC  and  assist  the  AC  in  overseeing  and  monitoring  the 
implementation and improvements required on internal control weaknesses identified.  

The role of the Internal Auditors is to support the AC in ensuring that the Group maintains a sound system 
of  internal  controls  by  monitoring  and  assessing  the  effectiveness  of  key  controls  and  procedures, 
conducting in-depth analysis of high risk areas and undertaking investigations as directed by the AC.  

The  Company  has  established  an  in-house  internal  audit  function  to  document  the  procedures  across  the 
financial,  production,  compliance  and  information  technology  functions  in  order  to  identify  and  manage 
process risks. 

The Company has a Risks and Conflicts Committee which is in the process of finalizing the Company’s risk 
management policy and procedures.

Communication with Shareholders (cont’d) 

Principle  15:  Companies  should  encourage  greater  shareholder  participation  at  AGMs,  and  allow 
shareholders the opportunity to communicate their views on various matters affecting the company.  

At the AGM, shareholders are given the opportunity to voice their views and seek clarification on questions 
regarding the Company. The Directors, Management and the external auditors are normally available at the 
AGM to answer shareholders’ queries.   

Resolutions are, as far as possible, structured separately and may be voted on independently.  

The  Group  fully  supports  the  Code’s  principle  to  encourage  shareholders’  participation.    The  Company’s 
Articles of Association allows the appointment of one or two proxies by shareholders, to attend the AGM 
and vote in his/her place.  Shareholders who hold shares through nominees are allowed, upon prior request 
through  their  nominees,  to  attend  the  general  meetings  as  proxies  without  being  constrained  by  the  two-
proxy requirement.  

The  Company,  however,  has  not  implemented  measures  to  allow  shareholders  who  are  unable  to  vote  in 
person at the Company’s AGM the option to vote in absentia, such as via mail, electronic mail or facsimile 
transactions.  

Other Governance Practices 

Material Contracts  

Saved as disclosed under “Material Contracts” in the Company’s offer document dated 5 April 2012 “Offer 
Document”),  there  were  no  new  material  contracts  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries,  including  loans, 
involving  the  interests  of  any  Director,  the  CEO  or  the  controlling  shareholders  during  the  financial  year 
ended 30 June 2012. 

Interested Person Transactions  

The Company has established procedures to ensure that all transactions with interested persons are reported 
in  a  timely  manner  to  the  AC  and  these  interested  persons  transactions  are  conducted  on  an  arm’s  length 
basis and are not prejudicial to the interests of the shareholders.  

Save as disclosed under “Interested Persons Transactions” in the Company’s Offer Document, there were no 
other interested person transactions of S$100,000 or more between the Company or its subsidiaries and any 
of its interested persons subsisting at the end of the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

Other Governance Practices (cont’d) 

Dealing in Securities  

The Company has in place a policy prohibiting share dealings by Directors and employees of the Company 
when  in  possession  of  price  sensitive  information  and  for  the  period  of  two  weeks  before  the  release  of 
quarterly results and one month before the release of the full-year results, with the restriction ending on the 
day  after  the  announcement  of  the  relevant  results.  Directors  and  employees  are  expected  to  observe  the 
insider trading laws at all times even when dealing in securities within permitted trading periods. An officer 
should  also  not  deal  in  the  Company’s  securities  on  short-term  consideration  and/or  possession  of 
unpublished material price-sensitive information relating to the relevant securities.  

Risk Management 

The RCC comprises all the Independent Directors.  The Chairman of the RCC is Mr Chong Teck Sin. 

The RCC has been set up to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities by reviewing the types and 
levels  of  risks  undertaken  by  the  Group  and  any  conflicts  of  interests  encountered  by  the  Group,  and 
recommending  and  approving  the  policies  and  procedures  for  monitoring  and  managing  such  risks  and 
conflicts  of  interests.    The  RCC  will  also  be  responsible  for  monitoring  the  risks  associated  with  the 
operations of the Group.  Each member of the RCC is required to be independent from any management and 
business relationship with the Group, and the Substantial Shareholders.  

The RCC and Management regularly reviews the Company’s business and operational activities to identify 
areas  of  significant  business  risks  as  well  as  appropriate  measures  to  control  and  mitigate  these  risks.  The 
Management reviews all significant control policies and procedures and highlights all significant matters to 
the Directors and the RCC.

INDEPDENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
F I N A N C I A L   R E P O R T S

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 

CIVMEC LIMITED 
(Incorporated in Singapore) 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  statements  of  Civmec  Limited  (the  “Company”)  and  its 
subsidiaries  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “Group”)  as  set  out  on  pages  46  to  102,  which  comprise  the 
consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  and  the  statement  of  financial  position  of  the  Company  as  at  
30 June 2012, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes 
in  equity  and  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  a  summary  of  significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in 
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Singapore  Companies  Act  (the  “Act”)  and  Singapore  Financial 
Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to 
provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; 
and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of 
true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted 
our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with 
ethical  requirements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the 
financial statements are free from material misstatement.  

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those 
risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  controls  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  of  financial 
statements  that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal 
controls.  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation 
of the financial statements. 

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

General Information 

(a) 

The Company 

Civmec  Limited  (the  “Company”)  was  incorporated  in  the  Republic  of  Singapore  on  3  June  2010 
under the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50 (the “Act”) as an investment holding company for the

Singapore Exchange Securities Ltd (SGX-ST) since 13 April 2012.  

The  registered  office  and  principal  place  of  business  of  the  Company  is  at  80  Robinson  Road 
#02-00, Singapore 068898.  

The  principal  activity  of  the  Company  is  that  of  an  investment  holding  company.  The  principal 
activities of its subsidiaries are set out in Note 16.  

The financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 were authorised for issue on the

Significant Accounting Policies 

(a)  Basis of Preparation  

The Group is regarded as a continuing entity resulting from the Group Restructuring Exercise since 
all the entities which took part in the Group Restructuring are deemed to be controlled by the same 
ultimate  controlling  parties,  James  Finbarr  Fitzgerald  and  Olive  Theresa  Fitzgerald  (acting  as 
trustees  for  the  JF  &  OT  Fitzgerald  Family  Trust)  and  Goldfirm  Pty  Ltd  (acting  as  trustee  for  the 
Kariong  Investment  Trust).  Consequently,  immediately  after  the  Group  Restructuring,  there  is  a 
continuation of the risks and benefits to the ultimate controlling parties that exist prior to the Group 
Restructuring Exercise. The Group Restructuring Exercise has been accounted for as a restructuring 
under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interests. 

Accordingly, the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 have been prepared 
on  the  basis  of  merger  accounting  and  comprise  the  audited  financial  statements  of  the  entities 
which  are  under  common  control  of  the  ultimate  controlling  parties  that  exist  before  and  after  the 
Group Restructuring Exercise. 

In applying merger accounting, financial statement items of the combining entities or businesses for 
the  reporting  period  in  which  the  common  control  combination  occurs  and  for  any  comparative 
periods  disclosed,  are  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  the  entity  as  if  the  combination  had 
occurred from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the 
controlling party or parties.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 30 JUNE 2012

Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

(a) 

Basis of Preparation (cont’d) 

A single uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by the entity.  Therefore, the entity recognises 
the assets, liabilities and equity of the consolidated entities or businesses at the carrying amounts in 
the financial statements of the controlling party or parties prior to the common control combination. 
There is no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of 
the  acquiree’s  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  over  cost  at  the  time  of  the 
common  control  combination.    The  effects  of  all  transactions  between  the  consolidated  entities  or 
businesses,  whether  occurring  before  or  after  the  combination,  are  eliminated  in  preparing  the 
consolidated financial statements of the entity. 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Singapore  Financial  Reporting 
Standards (“FRS”) and have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed 
in the accounting policies below. 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  FRS  requires  management  to  exercise 
judgement in the process of applying the Group’s critical accounting policies and requires the use of 
certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the reporting dates, and the 
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the relevant periods.  Although these estimates are 
based  on  management’s  best  knowledge  of  historical  experience  and  other  factors,  including 
expectations  of  future  events  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances,  actual 
results may differ from those estimates.  The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on 
an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate 
is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the 
revision affects both current and future years. 

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty used that are significant to 
the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements. 

(b) 

(i) 

Adoption of New/Revised Singapore Financial Reporting Standards 

New or Revised FRS Effective in the Current Year 

For  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2012,  the  Group  and  the  Company  has  adopted  the 
following  relevant  new  or  revised  FRS  that  are  mandatory  for  application  for  the  period. 
Changes to the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies have been made as required, 
in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS. 

Amendments to FRS 1   

Presentation of Financial Statements 

FRS 1 clarifies that the analysis of the components of other comprehensive income by item 
can  be  presented  either  in  the  statement  of  changes  in  equity  or  within  the  notes  to  the 
financial statements. The changes are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2011. As this is a disclosure standard, it has no impact on the  financial position 
and financial performance of the Group.

(i) 

New or Revised FRS Effective in the Current Year (cont’d) 

FRS 24  

Related Party Disclosures (Revised) 

The revised FRS 24 clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of 
such  relationships  and  to  eliminate  inconsistencies  in  its  application.  The  revised  FRS  24 
expands the definition of a related party and would treat two entities as related to each other 
whenever a person (or a close member of that person’s family) or a third party has control or 
joint  control  over  the  entity,  or  has  significant  influence  over  the  entity.  The  revised 
standard  also  introduces  a  partial  exemption  of  disclosure  requirements  for  government-
related entities. The revised FRS 24 applies retrospectively for annual periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2011 but earlier application is permitted. As this is a disclosure standard, 
it has no impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group. 

Amendments to FRS 107 

Financial Instruments: Disclosures 

The  amendments  to  FRS  107  include  removal  of  the  requirement  to  disclose  the  carrying 
amount  of  negotiated  financial  assets  that  would  be  past  due  or  impaired  if  not  for  the 
renegotiation. Clarification that disclosure of the amount that best represents the maximum 
exposure  to  credit  risk  is  not  required  when  this  amount  is  represented  by  the  carrying 
amount  of  the  financial  instrument  and  the  requirement  to  disclose  fair  value  of  collateral 
and other credit enhancements is replaced with a description to disclose the financial effect 
of collateral and other credit enhancements. As this is a disclosure standard, it has no impact 
on the financial position or financial performance of the Group when implemented. 

(ii) 

New or revised FRS issued but not yet effective 

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group and the Company has 
not applied the following new or revised FRS that have been issued and which are relevant 
to the Group and the Company but will only be effective for the Group for annual periods 
beginning 1 July 2012 onwards. The Group and the Company anticipate that these changes 
will have no material effect on the financial statements upon adoption. 

Amendments to FRS 12  

Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets 

The amendments provide that where investment properties are measured using the fair value 
model  in  FRS  40  Investment  Property,  then  there  is  a  rebuttable  presumption  that  the 
carrying  amount  will  be  recovered  through  sale  and  where  non-depreciable  assets  are 
measured  using  the  revaluation  model  under  FRS  16  Property, Plant and Equipment,  that 
the tax rate must be applied in determining any deferred tax assets or liability is that to be 
recovered  through  sale.  The  changes  are  effective  for  accounting  periods  beginning  on  or 
after  1  January  2012.  The  Group  will  determine  the  impact  of  these  amendments  when  it 
becomes effective.

Amendment to FRS 1 

Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income 

The  amendment  to  FRS  1  Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income  requires 
entities  to  group  items  presented  in  other  comprehensive  income  (OCI)  on  the  basis  of 
whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss. It is effective for annual periods 
beginning  on  or  after  1  July  2012.  As  this  is  a  disclosure  standard,  it  will  not  have  any 
impact  on  the  financial  performance  or  the  financial  position  of  the  Group  when 
implemented. 

FRS 27  

Separate Financial Statements (Revised) 

FRS 27 Separate Financial Statements (Revised) will now solely address separate financial 
statements,  the  requirements  for  which  are  substantially  unchanged.    It  is  effective  for 
annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2014  and  will  not  have  any  impact  on  the 
financial performance or the financial position of the Group when implemented. 

FRS 28  

 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Revised) 

FRS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Revised) changes in scope as a result 
of the issuance of FRS 111 Joint Arrangements. It continues to prescribe the mechanics of 
equity  accounting.  It  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2014. 
The Group will determine the impact of this standard when it becomes effective. 

FRS 110  

Consolidated Financial Statements  

FRS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements supersedes FRS 27 Consolidated and Separate 
Financial Statements  and  INT  FRS  12  Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities,  which  is 
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. It changes the definition 
of  control  and  applies  it  to  all  investees  to  determine  the  scope  of  consolidation.  FRS  110 
requirements will apply to all types of potential subsidiary. FRS 110 requires an investor to 
reassess the decision on whether to consolidate an investee when events indicate that there 
may be a change to one of the three elements of control, i.e. power, variable returns and the 
ability to use power to affect returns. The Group will determine the impact of this standard 
when it becomes effective. 

FRS 112  

Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities  

FRS  112  Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, which  is  effective  from  1  January  2014 
combines  the  disclosure  requirements  for  subsidiaries,  joint  arrangements,  associates  and 
structured entities within a comprehensive disclosure standard. FRS 112 specifies minimum 
disclosures that an entity must provide. It requires an entity to provide summarised financial 
information about the assets, liabilities, profit or loss and cash flows of each subsidiary that 
has  non-controlling  interests  that  are  material  to  the  reporting  entity  and  to  disclose  the 
nature  of  its  interests  in  unconsolidated  structured  entities  and  the  nature  of  the  risks  it  is 
exposed  to  as  a  result.  As  this  is  a  disclosure  standard,  it  will  not  have  any  impact  on  the 
financial performance or the financial position of the Group when implemented.

FRS 113  

Fair Value Measurement 

FRS  113  Fair  Value  Measurement  provides  guidance  on  how  to  measure  fair  values 
including  those  for  both  financial  and  non-financial  items  and  introduces  significantly 
enhanced  disclosures  about  fair  values.  It  does  not  address  or  change  the  requirements  on 
when  fair  values  should  be  used.  When  measuring  fair  value,  an  entity  is  required  to  use 
valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the 
use of unobservable inputs. It establishes a fair value hierarchy for doing this. This FRS is to 
be  applied  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2013.  The  Group  will 
determine the impact of this standard when it becomes effective. 

(c) 

Basis of Consolidation 

Subsidiaries  are  entities  over  which  the  Group  has  power  to  govern  the  financial  and 
operating  policies  so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from  its  activities,  generally  accompanied  by  a 
shareholding  giving  rise  to  a  majority  of  the  voting  rights.  The  existence  and  effect  of 
potential  voting  rights  that  are  currently  exercisable  or  convertible  are  considered  when 
assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the 
date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on 
which control ceases. 

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised 
gains  on  transactions  between  group  entities  are  eliminated.  Unrealised  losses  are  also 
eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting 
policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 
policies adopted by the Group. 

Subsidiaries  are  consolidated  from  the  date  of  acquisition,  being  the  date  on  which  the 
Group  obtains  control,  and  continue  to  be  consolidated  until  the  date  that  such  control 
ceases. 

Non-controlling interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a 
subsidiary attributable to the interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by owners 
of the Company. They are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income,  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  statement  of  financial  position.  Total 
comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests based on their respective 
interests in a subsidiary, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit 
balance.

(d) 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  or  receivable  after  taking  into 
account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed.  

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. 

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

Revenue relating to construction activities is detailed in Note 4. 

Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of 
completion  of  the  transaction  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  and  where  the  outcome  of  the 
contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services 
performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome 
cannot  be  estimated  reliably,  revenue  is  recognised  only  to  the  extent  that  related  expenditure  is 
recoverable. 

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

(e) 

Income Tax 

The  income  tax  expense  for  the  year  comprises  current  income  tax  expense  and  deferred  tax 
expense. 

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current 
tax  liabilities  (assets)  are  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  to  (recovered  from)  the 
relevant taxation authority. 

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

Current and deferred tax expense/(benefit) is charged or credited outside profit and loss when the tax 
relates to items that are recognised outside profit and loss. 

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is 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  and  their  measurement  also  reflects  the 
manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or 
liability.

(e) 

Income Tax (cont’d) 

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. 

Where  temporary  differences  exist  in  relation  to  investments  in  subsidiaries,  branches,  associates 
and  joint  ventures,  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  not  recognised  where  the  timing  of  the 
reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that reversal will occur 
in the foreseeable future. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is 
intended  that  net  settlement  or  simultaneous  realisation  and  settlement  of  the  respective  asset  and 
liability occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-
off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities, where it is intended that net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur 
in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be 
recovered or settled. 

(f) 

Foreign Currency Translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

The  financial  statements  of  each  entity  in  the  Group  are  measured  using  the  currency  that  best 
reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to each entity 
(the “functional currency”).  The functional currency of the Company is Australian dollar (“A$”). 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore dollar (“SGD” or S$). 

Transactions and balances 

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than 
the  entity’s  functional  currency  (foreign  currencies)  are  recognised  at  the  rates  of  exchange 
prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  monetary  items 
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. 

Currency  translation  differences  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at 
the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss, unless they arise from borrowings in foreign 
currencies and other currency  instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges and 
net  investment  in  foreign  operations.  Those  currency  translation  differences  are  recognised  in  the 
currency translation reserve in the consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss 
as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. 

Non-monetary  items  that  are  measured  in  terms  of  historical  cost  in  a  foreign  currency  are  not 
retranslated.

Foreign Currency Translation (cont’d) 

Group companies 

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

• 

• 

• 

Assets  and  liabilities  for  each  statement  of  financial  position  presented  are  translated  at 
closing rate at the date of that statement; 
Income  or  expense  for  each  statements  presenting  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income (i.e. including comparatives) shall be translated at exchange rates at the dates of the 
transactions; and 
All  resulting  currency  translation  differences  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income 
and accumulated in the currency translation reserve. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  foreign  operations  are  transferred  directly  to  the 
Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences 
are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred. 

(g)  Construction Contracts and Work in Progress 

Construction work in progress is valued at cost, plus profit recognised to date less any provision for 
anticipated  future  losses.  Cost  includes  both  variable  and  fixed  costs  relating  to  specific  contracts, 
and those costs that are attributable to the contract activity in general and that can be allocated on a 
reasonable basis. 

Construction  profits  are  recognised  at  the  stage  of  completion  basis  and  measured  using  the 
proportion of costs incurred to date as compared to expected actual costs.  

Costs incurred during the financial year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded 
from the costs incurred to date when determining the stage of completion of a contract. Such costs 
are shown as construction contract work-in-progress on the statement of financial position unless it 
is  not  probable  that  such  contract  costs  are  recoverable  from  the  customers,  in  which  case,  such 
costs are recognised as an expense immediately. 

At the reporting date, the cumulative costs incurred plus recognised profit (less recognised loss) on 
each  contract  is  compared  against  the  progress  billings.  Where  the  cumulative  costs  incurred  plus 
the recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is presented as 
due from customers on construction contracts within “trade and other receivables”. Where progress 
billings  exceed  the  cumulative  costs  incurred  plus  recognised  profits  (less  recognised  losses),  the 
balance  is  presented  as  due  to  customers  on  construction  contracts  within  “trade  and  other 
payables”. 

Retentions  are  amounts  of  progress  billings  which  are  not  paid  until  the  satisfaction  of  conditions 
specified  in  the  contract  for  the  payment  of  such  amounts.  Progress  billings  not  yet  paid  by 
customers and retentions by customers are included within “trade and other receivables”. Advances 
received are included within “trade and other payables”.

Financial Instruments 

Initial recognition and measurement 

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  entity  becomes  a  party  to  the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the 
company commits itself to either purchase or sell the assets (i.e. trade 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 profit or loss immediately. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised at cost using the effective 
interest  rate  method,  or  cost.  Where  available,  quoted  prices  in  an  active  market  are  used  to 
determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Amortised cost is calculated as: 

1. 

2. 
3. 

4. 

the  amount  at  which  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability  is  measured  at  initial 
recognition; 
less principal payments; 
plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount 
initially recognised and maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; 
and 
less any reduction for impairment. 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant 
period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts 
(including  fees,  transaction  costs  and  other  premiums  or  discounts)  through  the  expected  life  (or 
when  this  cannot  be  reliably  predicted,  the  contractual  term)  of  the  financial  instrument  to  the  net 
carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability.  Revisions  to  expected  future  net  cash 
flows  will  necessitate  an  adjustment  to  the  carrying  value  with  a  consequential  recognition  of  an 
income or expense in profit or loss. 

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. 

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries or joint venture entities as being subject 
to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

(h) 

Financial Instruments (cont’d) 

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 subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Financial liabilities 

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

Impairment 

At  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  the  Group  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a 
financial  instrument  has  been  impaired.  In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  financial  instruments,  a 
prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has 
arisen. Impairment losses are immediately recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial Guarantees 

Where material, financial guarantees issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to 
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, 
are  recognised  as  financial  liabilities  at  fair  value  on  initial  recognition.  The  guarantee  is 
subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially 
recognised  less,  when  appropriate,  cumulative  amortisation.  Where  the  entity  gives  guarantees  in 
exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under FRS 18.   

The  fair  value  of  financial  guarantee  contracts  has  been  assessed  using  the  probability  weighted 
discounted cash flow approach.  The probability has been based on: 

• 
• 

• 

(i) 

the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting during the next reporting period; 
the  proportion  of  the  exposure  that  is  not  expected  to  be  recovered  due  to  the  guaranteed 
party defaulting ; and 
the maximum loss exposure if the guaranteed party were to default 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank 
overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial 
position. 

(j) 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Each class of property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried 
at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

(j) 

Property, Plant and Equipment (cont’d) 

Property 

Leasehold building is stated on the cost basis and is therefore carried at cost. Such cost includes the 
construction costs and borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation. 

Plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. In the event the carrying amount of plant and 
equipment  is  greater  than  its  estimated  recoverable  amount,  the  carrying  amount  is  written  down 
immediately to its estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses recognised either in profit or 
loss  or  as  a  revaluation  decrease  if  the  impairment  losses  relate  to  a  revalued  asset.  A  formal 
assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 3 
for details of critical judgements of impairment of property, plant and equipment). 

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, 
borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 

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 profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation 

The  depreciable  amount  of  all  fixed  assets  including  buildings  and  capitalised  lease  assets,  but 
excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life from the 
time  the  asset  is  held  ready  for  use.  Leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of 
either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 

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

Class of Fixed Asset 
Buildings 
Plant and equipment 
Leased plant and equipment 
Motor vehicles 
Office and IT equipment 

Depreciation Rate 
3% 
5 - 15% 
5 - 15% 
6.67% - 33.33% 
5 - 33.33 % 

The assets’ 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 or losses are included in profit or loss.

(k) 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset 
may  be  impaired.    The  assessment  will  include  considering  external  sources  of  information  and 
internal sources of information.  If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the 
asset  by  comparing  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset,  being  the  higher  of  the  asset’s  fair  value 
less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value.  Any excess of the asset’s carrying 
value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. 

Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Group 
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment  testing  is  performed  annually  for  goodwill  and  intangible  assets  with  indefinite  useful 
lives. 

(l) 

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past 
events, for which it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that 
outflow can be reliably measured. 

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at 
the end of the reporting period. 

(m) 

Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Issued by the Group 

Classification as debt or equity 

Debt  and  equity  instruments  are  classified  as  either  financial  liabilities  or  as  equity  in  accordance 
with the substance of the contractual arrangement. 

Financial liabilities 

An entity shall recognise a financial liability on its statement of financial position when, and only 
when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.  

A financial liability is recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of a financial liability not at 
fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or 
issue.  

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at ‘FVTPL’ or ‘borrowings’.

Financial liabilities (cont’d) 

Borrowings 

Borrowings  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  and  are  subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on 
an effective yield basis. 

The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating  the  amortised  cost  of  a  financial  liability 
and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, 
or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. 

Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer 
settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 

The  Group  derecognises  financial  liabilities  when,  and  only  when,  the  Group’s  obligations  are 
discharged, cancelled or expired. 

(n) 

Borrowing Costs 

Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of  assets  that 
necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the 
cost of these assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.  
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 

(o) 

Leases 

Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of 
the asset, but not the legal ownership which are transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as 
finance leases. 

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal 
to  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  property  or  the  present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments, 
including  any  guaranteed  residual  values.    Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  reduction  of 
the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leases (cont’d) 

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives 
or the lease term. 

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the 
lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line 
basis over the life of the lease term. 

(p) 

Joint Venture 

The Group’s joint venture is the entity over which the Group has contractual arrangements to jointly 
share the control over the economic activity of the entity with another party. The Group’s interest in 
joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using equity method.  

(q) 

Employee Benefits 

Defined contribution plans 

The  Group  participates  in  the  national  pension  schemes  as  defined  by  the  laws  of  the  countries  in 
which it has operations. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an 
expense in the period in which the related service is performed. The Group has no further payment 
obligations once the contributions have been paid. 

Provision for employee benefits 

Provisions are made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered 
by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled 
within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. 
Employee  benefits  payable  later  than  one  year  have  been  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the 
estimated  future  cash  outflows  to  be  made  for  those  benefits.    In  determining  the  liability, 
consideration  is  given  to  employee  wage  increases  and  the  probability  that  the  employee  may  not 
satisfy vesting requirements.  Those cash flows are discounted using the market yields on national 
government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

Segment Reporting 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the 
executive  committee  whose  members  are  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  assessing 
performance of the operating segments.

Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty 

Estimates,  assumptions  and  judgements  are  made  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements.  
Management  continually  evaluates  its  judgements  and  estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities, 
income  and  expenses,  and  disclosures  made.  They  are  assessed  continually  based  on  historical 
experience and on other various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: 

(a)  Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions 

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment 

The useful lives of assets have been based on historical experience, lease terms and best available 
information for similar items in the industry.  These estimations will affect the depreciation expense 
recognised  in  the  financial  year.    There  is  no  change  in  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  plant  and 
equipment during the year. The carrying amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 
30 June 2012 was S$55,885,000 (2011: S$44,439,000) (Note 14). A 10% difference in the expected 
useful  lives  of  these  assets  from  management’s  estimates  would  result  in  an  approximately 
S$416,000 (2011: S$174,700) variance in the Company’s profit/(loss) for the year.    

Determination of percentage of completion on construction contracts 

Contract  revenue  is  recognised  as  revenue  in  profit  or  loss  using  the  percentage  of  completion 
method  in  the  reporting  periods  in  which  the  work  is  performed.  The  stage  of  completion  is 
measured by reference to the contract costs incurred to date compared to the estimated total costs for 
the contract or on the basis of value of work completed. 

Construction  contract  accounting  requires  that  variations,  claims  and  incentive  payments  only  be 
recognised  as  contract  revenue  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  they  will  be  accepted  by  the 
customer.  As  the  approval  process  takes  some  time,  judgement  is  required  to  be  made  of  its 
probability and revenue recognised accordingly. The aggregate costs incurred plus recognised profit 
less recognised losses to date, progress billings, retentions on construction contracts and due from/to 
the customers are disclosed in Note 10. 

Deferred tax assets 

The  Group  recognises  deferred  tax  assets  on  carried  forward  tax  losses  to  the  extent  there  are 
sufficient estimated future taxable profits and/or taxable temporary differences against which the tax 
losses can be utilised and that the Group is able to satisfy the continuing ownership test. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are S$2,470,000 (2011: S$833,000).

(b) 

Critical Judgements in Applying the Group’s Accounting Policies 

Allowance for impairment of receivables 

The Group assesses at each  reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial 
asset  is  impaired.    To  determine  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  of  impairment,  the  Group 
considers  factors  such  as  the  probability  of  insolvency  or  significant  financial  difficulties  of  the 
debtor  and  default  or  significant  delay  in  the  payment.    The  directors  exercise  their  judgement  in 
making  allowances  for  receivables.  A  specific  allowance  for  impairment  of  receivables  is  made  if 
the  receivables  are  not  collectible.  The  factors  considered  in  making  allowances  are  payment 
history,  past  due  status  and  trading  terms.  The  carrying  value  of  the  Group’s  trade  and  other 
receivables as at 30 June 2012 and 2011 is S$86,620,000 and S$20,403,000, respectively. 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment 

The  Group  assesses  impairment  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  at  each  year  end  by  evaluating 
conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets.  Adjustments will be made 
when considered necessary. 

Impairment  assessment  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  includes  considering  certain  indications 
such as significant changes in asset usage, significant decline in assets’ market value, obsolescence 
or physical damage of an asset, significant under performance relative to the expected historical or 
future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. 

No impairment or reversal of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment were recorded for 
the financial year ended 30 June 2012. 

The  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  at  30  June  2012  is  S$55,885,000  (2011: 
S$44,439,000). 

Impairment of investment in subsidiary 

The  Company  assesses  annually  whether  its  unquoted  equity  investments  have  any  indication  of 
impairment in accordance with the accounting policy. The carrying amount of the unquoted equity 
investments has been determined based on the estimated future profitability and the financial health 
of the investees and near-term business outlook for the investees, including factors such as industry 
and  sector  performance,  and  operational  and  financing  cash  flow  which  requires  the  use  of 
judgement.  

No impairment loss was recorded for the financial year ended 30 June 2012.  

The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in subsidiaries as at 30 June 2012 is S$9,792,000 
(2011: Nil) (Note 16).

Earnings per Share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  Group’s  net  profit  attributable  to  ordinary 
equity holders for the financial year by 501,000,000 ordinary shares which were assumed to be in 
issue throughout the entire financial year presented.

Diluted  earnings  per  share  are  calculated  by  dividing  net  profit  attributable  to  the  owners  of  the 
Company  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  during  the  year  plus  the  weighted 
average  number  of  ordinary  shares  that  would  be  in  issue  on  the  conversion  of  all  the  dilutive 
potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. As there is no dilutive potential ordinary shares, the 
diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share.

The  total  value  of  purchased  assets  that  were  refinanced  via  finance  leases  for  the  year  was 
S$9,355,309  (2011:  S$7,839,397)  and  had  a  carrying  amount  of  S$14,384,043  (2011: 
S$6,850,706) as at 30 June 2012.

Goodwill arose from the excess of the consideration paid for a business acquired from a third party.  
Goodwill has been allocated to the cash-generating unit, Mining and Others division.   

Management is of the opinion that the recoverable amount will exceed the carrying amount on the 
basis  that  this  cash  generating  unit  has  been  generating  profit  since  acquisition  and  management 
forecasts the results of this subsidiary to be in a net profit position for the financial year ending 30 
June 2013. In arriving at this assessment, management has determined the recoverable amount using 
a  two  year  forecasting  process  based  on  the  current  order  book,  projected  orders  and  a  consumer 
price index (“CPI”) factor of 1.2% per annum on direct costs and overhead costs.

Financial Information by Segments 

Management  has  determined  the  operating  segments  based  on  the  internal  reports  which  are 
regularly reviewed by the Operations Management that are used to make strategic decisions. 

The Operations Management comprises of the Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief 
Operations  Officer,  Chief  Financial  Officer,  Finance  Manager  and  the  department  heads  of  each 
operating segment. 

The  business  is  managed  primarily  on  the  basis  of  different  products  and  services  as  the 
diversification  of  the  Group’s  operations  inherently  have  notably  different  risk  profiles  and 
performance assessment criteria. 

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are 
considered  to  have  similar  economic  characteristics  and  are  also  similar  with  respect  to  the 
following: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

the products sold and/or services provided by the segment; 
the manufacturing process; 
the type or class of customer for the products or services; 
the distribution method; and 
any external regulatory requirements 

The two main reportable segments for the Group are: (1) Oil and Gas (2) Mining and Others. The 
business  activities  include  civil  construction,  fabrication,  precast  concrete,  SMP  (Structural, 
Mechanical and Piping Erection), insulation, maintenance and plant hire. 

Basis of Accounting for Purposes of Reporting by Operating Segments 

(a) 

Accounting policies adopted 

Unless  stated  otherwise,  all  amounts  reported  to  the  Board  of  Directors,  being  the  chief  decision 
makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies 
that are consistent to those adopted in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. 

(b) 

Inter-segment transactions 

An  internally  determined  transfer  price  is  set  for  all  inter-segment  sales.    This  price  is  reviewed 
quarterly and is based on what would be realised in the event the sale was made to an external party 
at  arm’s  length.  All  such  transactions  are  eliminated  on  consolidation  of  the  Group’s  financial 
statements. 

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to 
be received net of transaction costs.

Financial Risk Management 

The  Group’s  financial  instruments  consist  mainly  of  deposits  with  banks,  accounts  receivable  and 
payable,  borrowings  and  finance  lease  liabilities.  The  key  financial  risks  include  interest  rate  risk, 
foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 

(a)  Market risk 

Interest rate risk 

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end 
of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the 
fair  value  of  fixed  rate  financial  instruments.    The  Group  is  also  exposed  to  earnings  volatility  on 
floating rate instruments. 

Interest  rate  risk  is  managed  using  a  mix  of  fixed  and  floating  rate  debt.    At  30  June  2012, 
approximately 100% (30 June 2011: 59%) of the Group’s debt is fixed.  There is no variable interest 
rate  borrowings  which  exposes  the  Group  to  interest  rate  changes  as  at  30  June  2012  (2011: 
S$8,792,033). 

The Group has cash balances placed with reputable banks and financial institutions. Such balances 
are placed on varying maturities and generate interest income for the Group.   

The  Group  obtains  additional  financing  through  bank  borrowings  and  leasing  arrangements.  
Information  relating  to  the  Group’s  interest  rate  exposure  is  also  disclosed  in  the  notes  on  the 
Group’s  borrowings  and  leasing  obligations.  They  are  at  both  fixed  and  floating  rates  of  interest. 
The policy is to retain flexibility in selecting borrowings at both fixed and floating rates interest.

Foreign Currency Risk 

There is no significant exchange rate risk as substantially all financial assets and financial liabilities 
are denominated in Australian Dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company and of each 
entity in the Group.  Accordingly, the sensitivity analysis to currency risk exposure is not disclosed 
as management is of the view that this is not significant. 

Credit Risk 

Exposure  to  credit  risk  relating  to  financial  assets  arises  from  the  potential  non-performance  by 
counterparties of contractual obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 

Credit  risk  is  managed  through  maintaining  procedures  ensuring,  to  the  extent  possible,  that 
customers  and  counterparties  to  transactions  are  of  sound  credit  worthiness  and  includes  the 
utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, the regular monitoring 
of exposures against such limits and the monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers 
and counterparties. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on 
the division within the Group, credit terms are generally 30 days from the date of invoice.

Financial Risk Management (cont’d) 

(a) 

Market risk (cont’d) 

Credit Risk (cont’d) 

The  Group  has  a  concentration  of  credit  risk  with  one  counterparty  accounting  for  56%  of  trade 
receivables  as  at  30  June  2012  (2011:  83%).  The  main  source  of  credit  risk  to  the  Group  is 
considered to relate to the class of assets described as “Trade and other receivables”. 

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to 
collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. 
Amounts  are  considered  as  “past  due”  when  the  debt  has  not  been  settled  within  the  terms  and 
conditions  agreed  between  the  Group  and  the  customer  or  counterparty  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 
paid to the Group.

The Group did not hold any financial assets whose terms have been renegotiated, but which would 
otherwise be past due or impaired. 

The  Group  believes  that  the  unimpaired  amounts  that  are  past  due  by  more  than  30  days  are  still 
collectible  based  on  historic  payment  behavior  and  extensive  analyses  of  customer  credit  risk, 
including underlying customers’ credit ratings, when available. Based on the Group’s monitoring of 
customer  credit  risk,  the  Group  believes  that,  apart  from  the  above,  no  impairment  allowance  is 
necessary in respect of receivables not past due or past due by 30 days and above.

Financial Risk Management (cont’d) 

(a) 

Market risk (cont’d) 

Credit Risk (cont’d) 

Credit  risk  related  to  balances  with  banks  and  other  financial  institutions  is  managed  by  investing 
surplus  funds  with  counterparties  that  are  at  a  Standard  and  Poor’s  rating  of  at  least  AA.  The 
following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents 
based on Standard and Poor’s counterparty credit ratings.

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  its  commitments 
concerning its financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk though the following mechanism: 

• 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

Preparing  forward-looking  cash  flow  analysis  in  relation  to  its  operational,  investing  and 
financing activities; 
Monitoring undrawn credit facilities; 
Maintaining credit risk related to financial assets; 
Obtaining funding from a variety of sources; 
Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and 
Comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realization profile of financial 
assets. 

The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.  Bank 
overdrafts  have  been  deducted  in  the  analysis  as  management  does  not  consider  that  there  is  any 
material risk that the bank will terminate such facilities.  The bank does however maintain the right 
to terminate the facilities without notice and therefore the balances of overdrafts outstanding at year 
end could become repayable within 12 months.  Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable 
on demand since the Group has no control over the timing of any potential settlement of the liability. 

Cash  flows  realised  from  financial  assets  reflect  management’s  expectation  as  to  the  timing  of 
realisation.  Actual  timing  may  therefore  differ  from  that  disclosed.    The  timing  of  cash  flows 
presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and 
do  not  reflect  management’s  expectations  that  banking  facilities  will  be  rolled  forward.    Balances 
due within 12 months equal their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Capital Management 

Management  controls  the  capital  of  the  Group  in  order  to  maintain  a  good  debt-to-equity  ratio, 
provide the shareholders with adequate returns and to ensure that the Group can fund its operations 
and continue as a going concern. 

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by 
financial assets. 

The Group and the Company have no externally imposed capital requirements. 

Management  effectively  manages  the  Group’s  capital  by  assessing  the  Group’s  financial  risks  and 
adjusting  its  capital  structure  in  response  to  changes  in  these  risks  and  in  the  market.  These 
responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. 

The net debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt is calculated as 
total financial liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. 

Fair Value Estimation 
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities can be compared to their carrying values 
as presented in the statement of financial position.  Fair values are those amounts at which an asset 
could be exchanged, or liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length 
transaction. 

Fair  values  derived  may  be  based  on  information  that  is  estimated  or  subject  to  judgement,  where 
changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated.  Areas of judgement 
and the assumptions have been detailed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.   

The fair value of current financial assets and financial liabilities approximate the carrying value due 
to  the  liquid  nature  of  these  assets  and  /  or  the  short  term  nature  of  these  financial  rights  and 
obligations. 

The fair values of non-current loans receivables and borrowings are calculated based on discounted 
expected future principal and interest cash flows.  The discount rates used are based on market rates 
for similar instruments at the reporting date.   

29 

Subsequent Events 

The  Company  has  had  an  offer  for  the  purchase  of  vacant  land  accepted  for  2  &  8  Stuart  Street, 
Henderson.  It is now subject to approval by the Foreign Investment Review Board. A factory is to 
be built on the premises. These items are covered in Note 24 (b) Capital Expenditure Commitments.
