CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

UPDATE
2014 and the start of 2015 have undoubtedly borne witness to the most exciting
period yet in the history of our company. Commencing in February 2014 with our
public listing, and culminating in the execution of an agreement to acquire another
major tidal player from Siemens AG this year, the team has worked tirelessly to realise
the potential of this clean, green energy sector.

Not least of our achievements has been the commencement of construction for the
first  phase  of  the  MeyGen  project  –  truly  a  world  first. In  September  2014  we
announced financial close on a £51 million funding package for construction and
installation of the first 6 MW of the MeyGen development. The total potential of this
site is almost 400 MW – powering the equivalent of more than three quarters of the
homes in Edinburgh. In January 2015, the onshore works commenced to construct
the building which will house the power conditioning equipment and control centre,
and to drill the bores through which the power export cables will bring the energy to
shore. Offshore cable laying is scheduled to start in the summer, and we are on track
to be producing electricity from the tides in 2016. Atlantis, having originated the project and fostered its development
from the start, remains an 85% shareholder in the project company, alongside fellow investor, Scottish Enterprise (through
its Renewable Energy Investment Fund). The funding package also included contributions from The Crown Estate, the
Department of Energy & Climate Change, and Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

The turbines side of the business has continued to progress well, entering into a supply agreement to deliver a 1.5 MW
AR1500 machine to MeyGen in 2016. We have been working with Lockheed Martin Corporation to complete the detailed
design and carry out component testing, and in March 2015 we signed up Lockheed Martin as our major delivery partner
for the turbine. This relationship continues to go from strength to strength, with Lockheed Martin also committed to
delivering the yaw drive and variable pitch system for this first MeyGen turbine under our long term teaming agreement.

The turbines business has been further bolstered by our recent announcement of the signing of a sale and purchase
agreement for the acquisition of Marine Current Turbines, which boasts an unrivalled operating pedigree through its
1.2 MW installation at Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland, and which will diversify our product line with leaner, lighter
machines for lower intensity sites and floating applications. Siemens AG, the existing owner of Marine Current Turbines,
will not only become a significant shareholder in Atlantis as a result of this transaction, but will also commit to a continuing
technology and equipment supply relationship for our mutual benefit.

The projects side of the business will also benefit from the MCT acquisition, which will boost the UK development pipeline
by 50% to 600 MW of seabed leases and agreements for lease, extending our interests into England, Northern Ireland
and Wales as well as building on our strong Scottish presence. I look forward to updating you with news of these
opportunities as we move into what promises to be another busy year for Atlantis.

Finally, I would like to thank the Atlantis staff and my fellow directors for all of their hard work in delivering on our
objectives, and to thank our shareholders whose continuing support we very much appreciate.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on 24 June 2015 and the notice of meeting accompanies this annual report. I
look forward to this opportunity to meet our shareholders and to discuss our performance and the opportunities which
lie ahead.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT

PROFILE 
Atlantis Resources Limited, a global leader in the tidal power sector, is focussed on two core
business areas – the development of projects and the supply of turbines and associated
equipment, both to third parties and to our own projects. We are domiciled in Singapore,
from where we manage our activities in Asia, but our principal project and operations office
is in Edinburgh, supported by a design satellite office in Bristol and a corporate office in
London. There has been a lot of emphasis this year on the UK, and Scotland in particular, as
we achieved financial close of £51 million of funding for the first phase of our MeyGen
project, but we continue to work with our project partners to pursue project development
and turbine sales opportunities in North America and Asia, and to identify sites and
customers of interest around the world. The two sides of the business, projects and turbines,
are described below and summarised overleaf.

PROJECTS
Although we have been deriving energy from the tides for centuries, in its modern
form the tidal industry is a relatively immature sector. From the very start, therefore,
we have recognised that it is not enough for us to create only a successful technology solution – we also need to identify
and develop the sites to host that technology. This kick-starts a market for our turbines while also, crucially, building
ourselves a founding stake in projects which are forecast to yield attractive returns. With our agility and sector specific
knowledge we have shown that we can take a greenfield site through the consenting, design and procurement process,
secure project finance and attract new equity participants. Construction has now started on the MeyGen project, and it
is our objective to replicate this success across our portfolio.

TURBINES
The AR1500 design team continues to work closely with the MeyGen project team to ensure delivery of a turbine which
can perform in the challenging and high energy environment of the Pentland Firth, and we have engaged Lockheed Martin
as our quality and systems integration provider to ensure that the rigour and consistency born of a century in aerospace
and defence flows through from the detailed design and into our manufacturing and assembly processes. The MeyGen
site is one of the most energetic tidal environments in the world, and the AR1500 is, consequently, a turbine which is
built to not only survive extreme flows, but to exploit them. This makes it the ideal choice for other top tier sites such as
those elsewhere in the Pentland Firth and in the vast flows of Canada’s Bay of Fundy, but the acquisition of Marine Current
Turbines will add a new string to our bow, expanding the Atlantis product line with a smaller, lighter and less powerful
turbine which may be the best economic choice for smaller scale or lower energy sites. MCT’s SeaGen turbine is also
better suited than the AR1500 to floating applications, which show promise for the future – particularly for deeper water
sites. SeaGen’s greatest attribute, however, is the operating record established by the two 0.6 MW demonstration units
installed in Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland in 2008. This deployment was a world first, and has produced, besides
more than 9 GWh of electricity, an unsurpassed database of environmental monitoring, operations and maintenance
information. Atlantis intends to continue to operate this iconic asset, as well as pursuing opportunities for expansion of
the site into a commercial array (for which a 20 MW agreement for lease has already been granted).

In pursuit of our ancillary technology products, Atlantis has been undertaking testing and development of its proprietary
installation tools, designed to facilitate deployment and connection of turbines as safely and efficiently as possible without
the need for divers or submersible vehicles. We also continue with the industry leading programme of work contracted to
us by the Energy Technologies Institute, to develop the StreamTec foundation system for deployment at the MeyGen site.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Revenue in the year to 31 December 2014 was derived from the provision of consulting services, predominantly in relation
to the Energy Technologies Institute project for cost reduction in tidal energy which Atlantis has been contracted to deliver.
The group’s total revenue for the financial year ending 31 December 2014 was approximately S$5.3 million, reduced from
S$6.2 million for the previous year as a result of there having been no equipment sales in this period.

Total expenses for the year ending 31 December 2014 were S$19.8 million, a rise of S$0.6 million from the previous year.
This increase is attributable to a doubling in the average number of employees from 17 for the year ending 31 December
2013  to  35  in  the year ending  31  December  2014. This  workforce  expansion  was,  in  large  part,  in  support  of  the
construction of the MeyGen project; however, these costs are capitalised and funded as part of the MeyGen project
funding. The remaining additional employees, the costs of whom are expensed, are primarily engaged in the delivery of
the AR1500 turbine to the MeyGen project under the Atlantis turbine supply agreement.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT continued

The loss for the year ending 31 December 2014 was S$16.2 million, an increase of S$6.5 million on the previous year. The
primary reason for the increased loss was the impact in the year ending 31 December 2013 of the “other gains” resulting
from the negative goodwill arising from the acquisition of MeyGen, which was in part offset by additional financing costs
relating to the conversion of shareholder loans. The other factors contributing to the enlarged loss are the S$0.9 million
reduction in revenue and the S$0.6 million increase in expenses as described above.

The Group’s net assets were boosted to S$98.0 million as at 31 December 2014 from S$21.6 million 12 months earlier.
This was a result of the capitalised expenditure on construction of Phase 1A of the MeyGen project, as well as increased
cash, also primarily relating to funding for the MeyGen project. Total liabilities fell from S$66.7 million at 31 December
2013  to  S$48.6  million  at  31  December  2014,  chiefly  as  a  result  of  the  Company’s  conversion  and  repayment  of
shareholder loans. This was, however, partially offset by an increase in borrowings relating, in the main, to the financing
of MeyGen Phase 1A. Total equity attributable to the owners of the Company rose to S$89.4 million at 31 December
2014 from S$21.6 million at 31 December 2013.

The net cash used in operating and investing activities was S$35.8 million, an increase of S$27.2 million from the previous
period. Net cash from financing activities for the year was S$58.0 million, of which S$35.6 million was the proceeds from
the issue of shares and S$7.3 million was from borrowings. Total cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2014 were
S$23.1 million, compared with S$0.9 million at 31 December 2013.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

The Company was admitted to trading on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange (“AIM”) on
20 February 2014. The Board is committed to high standards of corporate governance in line with an effective and efficient
approach  to  management.  Although  admission  to  AIM  does  not  require  the Company  to  apply  the  UK  Corporate
Governance Code, it is the intention of the directors that the Company will comply with the Corporate Governance
Guidelines issued by the Quoted Companies Alliance (the “QCA Code”) where considered relevant and appropriate for
a company of its size, nature and stage of development. 

The Board delegates authority to four committees, including the three committees recommended by the QCA guidelines,
the Nomination Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee, as well as an additional Technology
Committee. These committees operate within a scope and remit defined by specific terms of reference, as determined by
the Board. The committees’ full terms of reference are available on the Company’s website, www.atlantisresourcesltd.com.
Each  committee  is  responsible  for  reviewing  the  effectiveness  of  its  own  terms  of  reference  and  for  making
recommendations to the Board for changes when necessary. Executive directors are not members of the Board committees,
although they may be invited to attend meetings.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board is collectively responsible for the effective oversight and long term success of the Company. It agrees the strategic
direction and governance structure to achieve the long-term success of the Company and deliver shareholder value. In
addition to setting the strategy, the Board takes the lead in areas such as financial policy and making sure the Company
maintains a sound system of internal control. The Board’s full responsibilities are set out in a formal schedule of matters
reserved for the Board. The Board receives appropriate and timely information prior to each meeting. A formal agenda is
produced for each meeting, and Board and committee members are given a sufficient period of time to review these prior
to the meetings taking place.

The Board delegates authority to its committees to carry out certain tasks on its behalf, so that it can operate efficiently
and give an appropriate level of attention and consideration to relevant matters. The composition and role of each
committee is summarised on pages 9 and 10.

The role of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are separate with a distinct division of responsibilities. The
Chairman is responsible for maintaining an effective and efficient Board which focuses on strategy and governance
appropriately. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for proposing strategic focus for Board review and its subsequent
implementation. The Board’s independent oversight is enhanced by the separation of authority by ensuring that no one
individual on the Board has unfettered authority. The Board delegates authority to the Chief Executive Officer to manage
the day-to-day operations and implementation of the strategy of the Company. In turn, the Chief Executive Officer
delegates a number of his duties to the Company’s management team. 

The  Board  of  directors  comprises  a  non-executive Chairman,  three  independent  non-executive  directors,  one
non-independent non-executive director and two executive directors: the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer. The profiles of the current executive and non-executive directors illustrating their relevant skills and
experience can be found on pages 12 and 13. John Woodley’s material relationship with the Company’s largest shareholder,
a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, leads to him being designated as a non-independent director.

The non-executive directors contribute a wide range of skills and experience, forming a strong element within the Board,
and they have a key role in constructively challenging strategy and performance in all areas. Each of the non-executive
directors brings individual character and judgement to bear on strategic matters and the performance of the Company.
All directors are obliged by the Articles of Association to retire on a rotating basis and are subject to re-election at the
Annual General Meeting, and this rule will be applied at the 2015 Annual General Meeting. None of the non-executive
directors have been employees of the Company at any time. Their opinions are influential in the decision-making of the
Company, both in financial and operational terms. The Board is satisfied that it maintains an effective and appropriate
balance of skills to reflect the Company’s business, listing and stage of development. The Board is also satisfied that it has
suitable  levels  of  experience  and  independence  to  allow  the  directors  to  discharge  their  duties  and  responsibilities
effectively. With regard to those directors who are offering themselves for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting,
the Board believes that they continue to make effective and important contributions to the Company’s success and that
the Company and its shareholders should support their re-election.

The Board is aware of the other commitments and interests of its directors and effective procedures are in place to deal
with any conflicts of interest which may arise. Any changes to these commitments and interests are reported to the Board
at the earliest opportunity.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT continued

The Chairman is responsible for providing leadership for the Board and ensuring its effectiveness in all aspects of its role,
ensuring that directors have sufficient resources available to them to fulfil their statutory duties. The Chairman is responsible
for setting the Board’s agenda, ensuring that adequate time is available to discuss all items on the agenda and ensuring
a particular focus on strategic issues. The Chairman promotes a culture of openness and debate by facilitating the effective
contribution of non-executive directors in particular, and by encouraging a constructive relationship between executive
and non-executive directors. Board members are encouraged to openly and constructively challenge proposals made by
executive management. Board agendas are reviewed and agreed in advance to ensure each Board meeting utilises the
Board’s time most efficiently. The Board and its committees are provided with information on a timely basis in order to
ensure proper assessment can be made of the matters requiring a decision or insight. 

As well as the support of the Company Secretary, there is a procedure in place for any director to take independent
professional advice at the Company’s expense in the furtherance of their duties, where considered necessary. The Board
may appoint a director as it thinks fit; however, any director appointed by the Board must offer himself or herself for
reappointment at the first Annual General Meeting following appointment, and then must retire by rotation in accordance
with the Articles of Association. The shareholders of the Company may also remove a director by ordinary resolution.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
Chairman: Ian Anthony Macdonald
Members: John Anthony Clifford Woodley, Rune Nilsen

The chairman of the committee holds a senior management position in a listed financial institution, and the Board is
satisfied that he has recent and relevant financial experience. The Audit Committee is required to meet not less than three
times a year at appropriate times in the financial reporting and audit cycle and whenever otherwise necessary to fulfil its
responsibilities. The Audit Committee’s role is to assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities with regard to monitoring
the integrity of financial reporting, overseeing the relationship with the external auditor, making recommendations to the
Board regarding the appointment of the external auditor, and reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s
internal controls and risk management systems. The ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving the Annual Report
and Accounts and the half-yearly reports remains with the Board. 

The Audit Committee met three times during the course of 2014 and has subsequently advised the Board that this Annual
Report and Accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable for shareholders to assess the Company’s
performance, strategy and business model. 

The Report from the Audit Committee is set out on pages 16 and 17.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Chairman: John Mitchell Neill
Members: Michael Robert Lloyd, John Anthony Clifford Woodley

The Remuneration Committee is required to meet at least twice a year and whenever otherwise necessary to fulfil its
responsibilities. The role of the Remuneration Committee includes setting the approach to executive remuneration and
recommending and monitoring the level and structure of remuneration for each of the executive directors. The objective
of the policy is to attract, retain and motivate executive management of suitable calibre without paying more than
necessary, having regard to the views of shareholders and stakeholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT continued

The Remuneration Committee met twice during the course of 2014.

The Directors’ Remuneration Report from the Remuneration Committee is set out on pages 18 to 20.

NOMINATION COMMITTEE
Chairman: John Mitchell Neill
Members: Michael Robert Lloyd, John Anthony Clifford Woodley

The Nomination Committee is chaired by John Mitchell Neill and its other members are Michael Robert Lloyd and John
Anthony Clifford Woodley. It is required to meet at least twice a year and whenever otherwise necessary to fulfil its
responsibilities. The committee is also assisted by executive search consultants as and when required. The role of the
Nomination Committee is to assist the Board in determining its composition, and that of the committees of the Board. It
is also responsible for periodically reviewing the Board’s structure and identifying potential candidates to be appointed as
directors as the need arises. The Nomination Committee is responsible for evaluating the balance of skills, knowledge,
experience and diversity of the Board and keeps under review the leadership needs of the Company. It makes appropriate
recommendations to the Board on such matters. 

As the Company was admitted to trading during the course of 2014, the Nomination Committee met on only one occasion
during the year. No external consultants were engaged during this period. The Nomination Committee is mindful of the
need to maintain an appropriate balance of skills, personalities and diversity on the Board to shape the direction of the
Company going forward and future Board changes will take this into consideration.

TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
Chairman: Michael Robert Lloyd
Members: John Anthony Clifford Woodley, Rune Nilsen

The Technology Committee is chaired by Michael Robert Lloyd and its other members are Rune Nilsen and John Anthony
Clifford Woodley. The Technology Committee is responsible for monitoring the integrity of the regular internal reporting
on the status of technology development within the Group and for sanctioning the external reporting of key technology
milestones. The committee also keeps under review the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s internal engineering,
internal management controls and risk management systems and ensures that core technology is being developed to plan
and within agreed risk parameters. The committee is required to meet at least three times a year. 

Three committee meetings were held during the course of the year.

INTERNAL CONTROLS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. It approves
all aspects of the overall risk management framework, including the strategic direction of the business, annual budgets
and business plans, the risk management policy and delegations of authority. There is an agreed risk tolerance which is
reflected in the Group’s strategy and risk management activities are geared towards achieving business plans whilst
safeguarding the Group’s assets. 

The Group’s system of internal control includes an on-going process of identifying, monitoring and managing risks by
executive management, who ensure that adequate systems, processes and controls are in place. Reports are provided by
management to the Audit Committee on internal control and risk management policies, and the Board monitors risk
exposures, risk management activities and the effectiveness of controls. 

This system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can only
provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement and loss and in the prevention and detection
of fraud and other irregularities. 

MAJOR SHAREHOLDER AND SHAREHOLDER ARRANGEMENT
In February 2014 the Company, N+1 Singer and Morgan Stanley Renewables Development 1 (Cayman) Limited (“Morgan
Stanley Renewables”), which on admission held 42.4% of the Company’s share capital, entered into a relationship
agreement, the principal purpose of which is to ensure that the Company is capable at all times of carrying on its business
independently of Morgan Stanley Renewables and its connected persons and to ensure all transactions and relationships
between  them  and  the  Group are conducted  at  arm’s  length  and  on  normal  commercial  terms.  The  terms  of  the
relationship agreement remain unchanged from the AIM admission document.

The effectiveness and performance of the Board is vital to the Company’s continuing success and the Board intends to
carry  out  a  regular  evaluation  process  for  the  Board  and  its  committees.  Due  to  the  early  stage  of  the  Company’s
development it was felt a significant period of time to evaluate performance had not passed. No significant issues for
concern regarding Board or committee performance were raised to the Chairman in the course of the year.

SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The Company  is  committed  to  ensuring  that  there  is  effective  communication  with  shareholders  on  matters  such
as governance  and  strategy,  that  the  Board  understands  the  views  of  large  shareholders  on  these  issues,  and
that shareholders receive a balanced and consistent view of the Company’s performance. Communication is primarily
through the AGM which provides an opportunity for shareholders to meet and ask questions of management. A range
of  corporate  information  is  also  available  to  shareholders,  investors  and  the  public  on  the  Company’s  website
www.atlantisresourcesltd.com. All shareholders will receive a copy of the Annual Report and an interim report at the half
year will be available on the Company’s website. 

As a part of a comprehensive investor relations programme, formal meetings with investors are scheduled to discuss the
Company’s interim and final results. In the periods between these reporting times, the Company continues its dialogue
with investors by periodical public correspondence between the Chairman and the shareholders.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Board has delegated responsibility to the Audit Committee to oversee the financial reporting, internal risk management
and  control  functions  and  to  make  recommendations  to  the  Board  accordingly.  The  committee’s  membership  and
attendance records for the financial year can be found in the Corporate Governance Report.

In accordance with the AIM Rules the Company was required to change its external auditor following the completion of
Deloitte & Touche LLP’s tenth year of engagement. Following a tender process and interim review, as reported in last year’s
Annual Report, the Audit Committee recommended that KPMG LLP be appointed as the Company’s auditor for the 2014
year-end audit. KPMG LLP has expressed its willingness to be reappointed at the Company’s next Annual General Meeting
and a resolution to appoint KPMG LLP as auditors of the Company will be put to the Annual General Meeting. The audit
partner and audit manager from the Company’s external auditor are invited to attend meetings of the committee on a
regular basis and during 2014 they attended each meeting, either in whole or for part of the meeting.

For any non-audit services to be undertaken by the Company’s external auditor, prior approval of the Audit Committee is
required, and the Audit Committee has instructed management to minimise any work undertaken by the external auditor
that is not audit in nature. For example, the Company uses PricewaterhouseCoopers as its tax advisors.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer may attend meetings by invitation and other members
of the senior management team attend as required. At one of the meetings an arrangement was agreed by which the
chairman of the committee would meet with the external auditor in private. The practice of holding meetings in private
between the chairman of the committee and the external auditor will continue in the future.

In accordance with its terms of reference, the Audit Committee, which reports its findings to the Board, is authorised to:

•

•

•
•

•

•

monitor  the  integrity  of  the  Company’s  financial  reporting  and  significant  financial  accounting  policies  and
judgements;
review the content of the Annual Report and Accounts where requested by the Board, and advise on whether it is
fair, balanced, understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s
performance, business model and strategy;
monitor the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and risk management framework;
consider annually whether the Company should initiate an internal audit function and make a recommendation to
the Board accordingly;
consider and make recommendations to the Board, to be put to shareholders for approval at the Company’s Annual
General Meeting, in relation the appointment, reappointment and removal of the Company’s external auditor; and
advise the Board on the appointment, terms of engagement and remuneration of the external auditor.

The committee has three scheduled meetings a year and works closely with the Chief Financial Officer and senior management
to ensure the committee is provided with the necessary information it requires to discharge its duties. The committee’s meeting
agendas are based on annual reporting requirements and other ad-hoc issues which arise during the course of the year.

The committee reviewed the full and half year financial statements and the report of the auditors on these statements.
Committee meetings included senior staff from the external auditor who were familiar with the completion of the audit
to present the reports and answer the committee’s questions.

During 2014 the Audit Committee had three meetings, at which the committee considered the following matters:

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION REPORT

This report sets out details of the directors’ remuneration in 2014.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The members of the Remuneration Committee and the Remuneration Committee’s role are set out on page 9.

REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK
The overall aim of the Company’s remuneration framework is to provide appropriate incentives that reflect the Company’s
performance culture and values through a number of components. The Company also attempts to ensure the remuneration
guidelines and culture are sustainable, transparent and appropriate. The Company’s framework aims to attract and retain
high-performing employees and reward both short-term and long-term contributions to the Company.

The Remuneration Committee is satisfied that this framework successfully aligns the interests of executive directors, senior
managers and other employees with the shareholders’ long-term interests, by ensuring that an appropriate proportion of
remuneration is directly linked to overall performance, in both the long and short term.

In determining the practicalities of the approach, the Remuneration Committee considers a range of internal and external
factors and appropriate market comparisons against other companies of a similar size, nature and stage of development.

DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS IN SHARES 
According to the register of directors’ shareholdings kept by the Company under Section 164 of the Singapore Companies
Act (the “Act”), none of the directors of the Company holding office at the end of the financial year had any interests in
the shares or debentures of the Company and its related corporations, except as follows:

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Atlantis Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprise the statements of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Group and
the Company as at 31 December 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
and statement of cash flows of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information, as set out on pages 23 to 63.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with
the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the Act) and International Financial Reporting Standards,
and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance
that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised
and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance
sheets and to maintain accountability of assets.

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

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

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

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position and changes
in equity of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and International Financial
Reporting Standards to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December
2014 and the changes in equity of the Group and Company and the results and cash flows of the Group for the year
ended on that date.

Other matters
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 were audited by another firm of Chartered Accountants,
whose report dated 30 May 2014, expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries
incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

Atlantis Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company incorporated in Singapore. The address of the Company’s
registered office is 65 Niven Road, Singapore 228414.

The principal activity of the Company is that of pioneering the development of tidal current power as the most reliable,
economic and secure form of renewable energy. The Company is an inventor, developer, owner, marketer and licensor of
technology, intellectual property, trademarks, products and services.

The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 12 to the financial statements.

The financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014 comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.
2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the
accounting policies below, and are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act and
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars (S$), rounded to the nearest thousand.

Adoption of IFRS and revised standards

Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

Under the amendments, to qualify for offsetting, the right to set off a financial asset and a financial liability must
not be contingent on a future event, and must be enforceable both in the normal course of business and in the
event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all counterparties.

The application of the amendments had no significant impact in the Group’s and the Company’s 2014 financial statements.

Except for changes in accounting policies disclosed above, the accounting policies set out below have been applied
consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Company.

2.2 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conjunction with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
and incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).
Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so
as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies
in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity
transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect
the  changes  in  their  relative  interests  in  the  subsidiary.  Any  difference  between  the  amount  by  which  the
non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly
in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between:
(i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and (ii) the
previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling
interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted
for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be
required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investment retained in the former
subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting
under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition
of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less any impairment in net
recoverable value that has been recognised in profit or loss.

2.
2.3 Business combination

The acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for
each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of assets given, liabilities incurred
by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control
of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are
adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). The
subsequent  accounting  for  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  that  do  not  qualify  as
measurement  period  adjustments  depends  on  how  the  contingent  consideration  is  classified.  Contingent
consideration  that  is  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  at  subsequent  reporting  dates  and  its  subsequent
settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is
remeasured  at  subsequent  reporting  dates  in  accordance  with  IFRS  7  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and
Measurement,  or  IAS  37  Provisions,  Contingent  Liabilities  and  Contingent  Assets,  as  appropriate,  with  the
corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are
remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or
loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date
that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such
treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under
the IFRS are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

•

•

•

deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised
and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;

liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree’s share-based payment
awards are measured in accordance with IAS 2 Share-based Payment; and

assets (or disposal Groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the
combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete.
Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities
are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition
date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

The  measurement  period  is  the  period  from  the  date  of  acquisition  to  the  date  the  Group  obtains  complete
information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of
one year from acquisition date.

GOODWILL – The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: 

•

•

•

the consideration transferred; plus 

the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus 

if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree, 

over the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing,
goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more
frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating
unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each
asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
On disposal of a subsidiary or the relevant cash generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in
the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

2.4 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating
interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part
of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the
financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period. Income and expense is recognised on an effective
interest rate basis for debt instruments other than those financial instruments “at fair value through profit or loss”.

Financial assets
All financial assets are recognised and de-recognised on a trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is
under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market
concerned, and are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs except for those financial assets classified
as at fair value through profit and loss which are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified as loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables
Trade and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are
classified as “loans and receivables”. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest method, except for short-term
receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of 3 months
and cash on hand. 

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cashflows, pledged deposits are excluded.

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at
the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of
one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows
of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment
is  the  difference  between  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows,
discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For available-for-sale equity instruments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below
its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

•

•

•

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the
exception of trade and other receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance
account. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries
of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of
the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
When  an  available-for-sale  financial  asset  is  considered  to  be  impaired,  cumulative  gains  or  losses  previously
recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. With the exception of available-for-sale
equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can
be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date
the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been
recognised.

In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not
reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment loss is recognised in other
comprehensive income.

Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire,
or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another
entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues
to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for
amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred
financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing
for the proceeds received.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the
contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all
of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Other financial liabilities
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured
at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield
basis.

Interest-bearing loans and overdrafts are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised
cost, using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and
the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the
Group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs (see Note 2.16).

Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and, if not designated as fair value
through profit and loss, subsequently at the higher of the amount of obligation under the contract recognised as a
provision in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially
recognised less cumulative amortisation in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue.

Convertible loan notes
Convertible  loans  are  regarded  as  compound  instruments,  consisting  of  a  liability  component  and  an  equity
component. The components of the compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity
in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability
component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument. This amount
is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity
date. The equity component is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value
of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is
not subsequently remeasured.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled
or they expire.

2.
2.5 Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the
relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits
from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense
in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a
liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis,
except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from
the leased asset are consumed.

2.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses.

Freehold land is stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated
impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for
purpose not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees
in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other assets,
commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than freehold land and construction-in-progress,
over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, on the following basis:

–
Leasehold improvements
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
–
Computer equipment and software –

20%
25%
25%

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period,
with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the sales proceeds and the carrying amounts of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the financial statements.

2.7 Intangible assets

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Capitalisation of an internally generated asset is only permitted during the development phase.

Development activities must apply research findings for a business purpose, such as:

•

•

•

•

the design, construction and testing of pre-production or pre-use prototypes and models;

the design of tools, jigs, moulds and dies involving new technology;

the design, construction and operation of a pilot plant that is not of a scale economically feasible for commercial
production; and

the design, construction and testing of a chosen alternative for new or improved materials, devices, products.

The cost of capitalised development activities should include all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce
and prepare an asset for a business purpose in the manner intended by management.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal
project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
•

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

•

•

•

•

•

The intention to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

The ability to use or sell the intangible asset. 

How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.

The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use
or sell the intangible asset. 

The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives. 

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from
the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated
intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is
incurred.

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  internally-generated  intangible  assets  are  reported  at  cost  less  accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

Intellectual property
Intellectual property is measured initially at purchase cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the asset’s
expected estimated useful life. Intellectual property is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there
is an indication that it may be impaired (see below for impairment testing).

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill. The
cost of such intangible assets is their fair value at the acquisition date.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired
separately.

2.8 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if
any). 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. Where a reasonable and consistent basis
of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise
they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation
basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment
annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased
to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined  had  no  impairment  loss  been  recognised  for  the  asset
(cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss,
unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated
as a revaluation increase.

2.9 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation
at the end of reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a
provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the
present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third
party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the
amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

2.10 Share-based payments

The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees and directors.

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value of the equity instruments (excluding the effect of
non market-based vesting conditions) at the date of grant. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of
equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in Note 24. The fair value determined at the grant date of the
equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s
estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the
Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the
original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate,
with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

Fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted,
based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral
considerations.

2.11 Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the
conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is that
the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are presented as a deduction from
the carrying amount of the related assets and recognised as income over the useful lives of the assets by way of a
reduced depreciation or amortisation charge.

Other government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for
which  they  are  intended  to  compensate,  on  a  systematic  basis.  Government  grants  that  are  receivable  as
compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to
the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

2.12 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Consulting fees and sale of equipment
Consulting fees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represent amounts
receivable for consulting services provided in the normal course of business, net of sales related taxes. Consulting
fees are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date.
Revenue for the sale of equipment is recognised when the risk and rewards of the product are transferred to the
customer.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

Licence and royalties
Licence and royalty revenue are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant
agreement. Licence and royalties determined on a time basis are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period
of the agreement. Licence and royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are
recognised by reference to the underlying arrangement.

2.13 Retirement benefit obligations

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense when employees have rendered
the services entitling them to the contributions. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes, such
as the Singapore Central Provident Fund, are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the Group’s
obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.

2.14 Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are not taxable or tax
deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted in countries where the Company and subsidiaries operate by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using
the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences
and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against
which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets
and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised on taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except
where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences
associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be
sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to
reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be
recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the
asset realised based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of
reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would
follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the
Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items
credited or debited outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case
the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively),
or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination,
the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or determining the excess of the acquirer’s interest in the
net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost.

2.15 Foreign currency transactions and translation

The individual financial statements of each Group entity are measured and presented in the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The consolidated financial statements
of the Group and the statement of financial position and statement of equity of the Company are presented in
Singapore  dollars,  which  is  the  functional  currency  of  the  Company,  and  the  presentation  currency  for  the
consolidated financial statements.

Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing
on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies
are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of reporting period. All exchange differences are recognised in profit
or loss.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign
operations (including comparatives) are expressed in Singapore dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of
the reporting period. Income and expense items (including comparatives) are translated at the average exchange
rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange
rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions  are  used.  Exchange  differences  arising,  if  any,  are  recognised  in  other
comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity. 

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a
disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly
controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a
foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the Group
are reclassified to profit or loss.

In  the  case  of  a  partial  disposal  (i.e.  no  loss  of  control)  of  a  subsidiary  that  includes  a  foreign  operation,  the
proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not
recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. of associates or jointly controlled entities not involving
a change of accounting basis), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to
profit or loss.

2.16 Finance costs

Finance cost comprises interest expense on borrowings and changes in fair values of derivative liabilities. All borrowing
costs are recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method, except to the extent that they are
capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale.

2.17 Segment reporting

The  Group  is  currently  focused  on  the  development  of  the  MeyGen  project  and  in  developing  its  turbines  for
installation in the MeyGen project. It currently considers its business as one operating segment.

2.18 New standards and interpretations not adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning
after 1 January 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.

Except as otherwise indicated below, those new standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations are not
expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Group. The Group does not plan to adopt
these standards early.

•

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers will replace IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts
and Related Interpretations. The standard establishes the principle for companies to recognise revenue to depict
the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company
expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced
disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed (e.g. service
revenue and contract modifications) and improved guidance for multi-element arrangements. The Group is
currently assessing the impact upon adoption this standard in financial year ending 31 December 2017.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, management is required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the
revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In  the  process  of  applying  the  Group’s  accounting  policies,  which  are  described  in  Note  2,  the  critical  accounting
judgements that will have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and the key sources
of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period 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:

Recoverability of construction-in-progress and project-under-construction
Included in property, plant and equipment is an amount of S$3,898,000 (2013: S$2,904,000) relating to construction-in-progress
for a turbine. The recoverable amount was estimated based on the fair value less costs of selling the turbine, which was
in excess of the costs recorded, and no impairment loss on the asset was required. 

The recoverable amount of the project-under-construction was derived based on the fair value less costs of sale. The fair
value is derived based on the subscription price of the shares in Tidal Power Scotland Holdings Limited by Scottish
Enterprise. The recoverable amount so determined was in excess of the carrying value recorded of S$66,458,000 (2013:
S$Nil) as disclosed in Note 10, and accordingly, management has taken the view that no impairment loss on the assets
was required.

At the end of every year, management assesses the existing condition and performance of its assets. 

Useful lives of intangible assets
The useful lives are based on similar assets in the industry and taking into account anticipated technological changes.
Judgement is required to determine the period over which the propriety technology (to which the intangibles relate) will
continue to have economic value. Amortisation will commence upon the commercialisation of the assets. The Group
reviews the useful lives of the intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. 

Recoverability of intangible assets
The recoverable amounts of the intangible assets related to the global technology licence, intellectual property and
development costs are estimated based on their value in use. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management
estimates the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and chooses a suitable discount rate in order to
calculate the present value of those cash flows. Management is confident that the carrying amount of the assets will be
recovered in full, even if returns are reduced. This situation will be closely monitored, and adjustments will be made in
future periods if future market activity indicates that such adjustments are appropriate.

Provision for decommissioning costs
Provision for decommissioning costs is recognised as part of the construction-in-progress related to a turbine. The provision
is an amount equal to the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation.

Functional currency
In determining the functional currency of the Company, management has considered the primary economic environment
which the Company operates in. The Company is the centre of provision of corporate services to all subsidiaries and the
base for engineering staff managing delivery of the Company’s projects in Asia. The Company is involved in and provides
support to development projects globally. The sale prices on costs of developing the projects are subject to local competitive
forces and regulations. Most of the Company’s operating expenses are incurred in Singapore dollars. As such, the Company
has determined that Singapore dollars is the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying
transactions of the Company.

(a)

Freehold land 
In 2013 year, the Group acquired land upon the acquisition of a subsidiary (Note 12). 

(b) Construction-in-progress

Included in construction-in-progress is the Group’s AR-1000 turbine, which is still under development. In 2014, the
reclassification refers to decommissioning expenses that were previously capitalised as intangible assets, and which
will be depreciated once the turbine is commissioned. The carrying amount of the construction-in-progress at the
end of the reporting period is S$3,898,000 (2013: S$2,904,000). At the end of every year, the management assesses
the existing condition and performance of its assets.

Reclassification in 2013 pertains mainly to equipment under construction that was transferred to inventory upon
completion and subsequently to cost of sales upon sale to a third party customer. 

(c)

Project under construction
In September 2014, the Group commenced construction of the MeyGen project and costs incurred in 2014 totalled
S$28,164,000. Included in this amount are capitalised borrowing costs amounting to S$905,000 (2013: S$184,000),
which amount corresponds to an average interest cost of borrowings of 5.95% per annum. Reclassification represents
option fees for a seabed lease and land at Ness of Quoys, Scotland, of S$37,052,000 and development costs of
S$587,000, which were reclassified from other assets and intangibles, respectively, upon signing of the seabed lease.

Aggregate grants of £13.3 million, comprising a £10 million grant from the United Kingdom’s Department of Energy
and Climate Change, and two grants from Scotland’s Highlands and Islands Enterprise (“HIE”) totalling S$6.8 million
(£3.3 million), were awarded for MeyGen project in August 2014. Initial drawdown under the HIE grants was made
during the year. Grants received from HIE of S$719,000 (£348,000) have been recorded as a deduction from the
carrying amount of project under construction in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.

(d) Security

At 31 December 2014, assets of subsidiaries with carrying amounts of S$33,751,000 were pledged as security to
secure loans (Note 19(f)).

11. INTANGIBLE ASSETS continued

(a) Global technology licence

This licence grants the Group an exclusive, perpetual, world-wide licence of the rights to use, deploy and manufacture
certain proprietary technology in respect of turbines and related infrastructure used in tidal energy generation,
including the Aquanator technology. 

The Group estimated that the technology has a useful life of approximately 15 years and amortisation commenced
from 1 January 2011, upon successful deployment of a commercial grade turbine.

(b)

Intellectual property
Intellectual property includes international patent applications and registered trademarks of the Company. 

The Group estimated that the intellectual property costs have a useful life of approximately 15 years and the Group
started amortising the intellectual property costs for the financial period beginning from 1 January 2011.

(c) Development costs

Upon successful commercialisation of the Group’s AR1000 turbine, development costs have been amortised from
1 January 2011. The Group estimated that the development costs have a useful life of approximately 15 years.

Reclassification  refers  to  project  development  costs  for  MeyGen  that  were  transferred  to  property,  plant  and
equipment upon signing of the seabed lease (Note 10).

(d) Tidal data

In 2013, the Group acquired tidal data upon the acquisition of a subsidiary, MeyGen (Note 12). The tidal data is
crucial to the development of the MeyGen project and little or no obsolescence is expected. The tidal data will be
amortised starting upon the commissioning of the project.

(e) Development project-in-progress

Development project-in-progress relates to on-going development of the Group’s AR1500 turbine. The development
cost will commence amortisation upon successful commercialisation of the turbine technology. 

The intangible assets related to the global technology licence, intellectual property, development costs and development
project-in-progress  made  up  the  turbine  development  cash  generating  unit  (“CGU”). Management  has  based  its
assessment of the recoverable amount on value-in-use (“VIU”) calculations, which includes cash flow projections of the
CGU. The cash flow projections are based on the estimated turbine sales to the MeyGen project from 2017 to 2022, less
its associated production costs. The pre-tax discount rate of 12% (2013: NIL) was applied to the cash flow projections and
reflects the specific risk associated with the CGU.

Key assumptions used for the VIU calculations include the discount rate used and the projected margin arising from the
turbine sales. Management has determined the projected margin based on its anticipated margin arising from similar
turbine sales transactions. 

Based on the VIU calculations, the recoverable amount is determined to be higher than the carrying value of the CGU and
no provision for impairment is required.

The carrying value of the CGU is also supported by the recoverable amount of the project under construction (see Note 3),
whereby the recoverable amount is higher then the combined values of the CGU and project under construction.

(b)  Acquisition of subsidiary in 2013

On 31 October 2013, Atlantis Projects Pte. Ltd. (“APPL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into
agreements  for  and  completed  the  acquisition  of  an  aggregate  90%  shareholding  in  MeyGen,  the  company
developing the MeyGen tidal power project in the Pentland Firth, Scotland. The Company already owned a 10%
shareholding in MeyGen directly, and through this acquisition, the Group became the 100% owner of MeyGen. An
additional 45% equity interest in MeyGen was acquired from Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCGI”) for
S$771,000  (£386,000)  and  a  further  45%  equity  interest  was  acquired  from  International  Power  Marine
Developments Limited (“IPMDL”), a subsidiary of GDF Suez, for S$2.00 (£1.00). The existing shareholder loans from
each of MSCGI, IPMDL and the Company were retained by MeyGen, and restructured such that they were no longer
at call, and instead repayable in February 2021 in the case of the MSCGI (Note 19(d)) and IPMDL loans (Note 19(e)),
and in February 2030 in the case of the loan from the Company, with any cash available for distribution from MeyGen
to be applied to repaying these loans before any distributions to shareholders. The S$771,000 (£386,000) purchase
price payable to MSCGI was funded by way of a convertible loan from Morgan Stanley Renewables to the Company.
The principal amount of the loan together with accrued interest were converted into ordinary shares in the Company
upon admission of the shares of the Company to trading on the AIM, at a price equal to the initial public offering
price discounted by 10%.

In 2013, acquisition-related costs amounting to S$166,000 were excluded from the consideration transferred and
have been recognised as an expense in profit and loss in 2013 within the “other operating expenses”.

An independent valuation was conducted to determine the valuation of the acquisition. The following summarises
the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities at the acquisition date.

•

The seabed option allowed MeyGen to enter into a 25 year lease of the seabed site for the MeyGen project in
the Inner Sound. The fair value of the option, amounting to S$36,928,000 (£18,606,000), takes into account
the future cash flows based on market information, third party reports and detailed studies, based on the
following assumptions: 

–

–

–

–

–

Operating revenues are a function of the number of turbines installed, the energy generated and price
received for each MWh of electricity exported to the grid. 

Debt financing is projected based on funding a proportion of the capital requirements of the project with
an interest expense of LIBOR forward rates plus a margin.

Capital expenditure relates to the purchase of the turbines, grid connection, seabed lease, construction,
cabling power conditioning, installation and onshore works. 

Discount rate includes a project specific premium of 12% with an overall cost of equity of 20%.

The fair value of the seabed option is estimated based on the discounted cash flows of a notional start-up
(greenfield) business with no assets but the seabed option.

•

The loans have been fair valued based on market rates.

Negative goodwill arising on acquisition on 31 October 2013
The negative goodwill was recognised as a result of the acquisition as follows:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                S$’000

Total consideration transferred                                                                                                                                               771
Fair value pre-existing interest in the acquiree                                                                                                                     1,938

Negative goodwill                                                                                                                                                            (16,674)

Negative goodwill arose in the acquisition of MeyGen because of the future revenue growth forecast to be realised
from the development of the project, and which has been recognised in the profit and loss. 

The  re-measurement  to  fair  value  of  the  Group’s  existing  10%  interest  in  the  acquiree  resulted  in  a  gain  of
S$1,938,000 (S$1,938,000 less S$Nil carrying value of equity-accounted investee at acquisition date), which was
recognised in other gains in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in 2013
(Note 5).

The negative goodwill is attributable mainly to revenue growth and future market development as well as unique
knowledge and experience pertaining to building the tidal project. It has been assumed that none of the negative
goodwill recognised will be assessable for tax purposes.

Net cashflow on acquisition of subsidiary
Net cashflow on acquisition of subsidiary is arrived of as follows:

Formation of TPSHL and dilution of interest in subsidiary
On 12 February 2014, the existing 10% of MeyGen held directly by the Company was transferred to APPL, making
MeyGen a wholly owned subsidiary of APPL. Subsequently, in July 2014, as part of the MeyGen project financing
requirements,  Tidal  Power  Scotland  Holdings  Limited  (“TPSHL”)  was  incorporated  as  an  intermediate  holding

Under the terms of a Subscription Agreement, by 31 December 2014, Scottish Enterprise, as administrator of the

the Company, via APPL, had subscribed for a total of £8.8 million (S$18.2 million) in new shares of TPSHL. As a
result, at 31 December 2014, Scottish Enterprise had a 14.13% shareholding in TPSHL, with APPL retaining the
remaining shareholding of 85.87%. The Group recognised an increase in non-controlling interest of S$8,628,000.

received from the Scottish Enterprise and net assets attributable to Scottish Enterprise.

The Company has provided a loan to a subsidiary, MeyGen, which is interest-bearing with an interest rate of 12-month
LIBOR plus 5.0% per annum, unsecured and repayable in February 2030. At the end of the reporting period, the fair value
of the loan approximates its carrying value.

repayment. As these balances are, in substance, part of the Company’s net investments in the subsidiaries, they are stated
at cost less impairment losses if any.

subsidiaries, they are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any.

The current receivables due from subsidiaries are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand.

During the year, the Company has made provision for impairment of S$3,449,000 in relation to balances receivable from
two inactive subsidiaries as recoverability of the amounts due is not considered probable. No provision for impairment
has been made for the remaining receivable balance as the directors are of the view that these receivables are recoverable.

The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit and currency risks are as set out in Note 26.

15. OTHER ASSETS
On 31 October 2013, as part of a business combination, the Group acquired an option to enter into a seabed lease for
the development and operation of the MeyGen tidal stream energy project (Note 12). In addition, the Group also took up
a lease option over land at Ness of Quoys in Caithness, Scotland for the construction of onshore facilities for the MeyGen
project. As at 31 December 2013, the carrying value of the seabed lease option and the Ness of Quoys land option was
S$37,027,000 (£18,606,000) and S$25,000 (£13,000), respectively.

In 2014, upon exercising the options and entering into the lease agreements, the option fees were reclassified as property,
plant and equipment (Note 10).

Group

The provision for warranty claims represents the present value of the directors’ best estimate of the future outflow of
economic benefits that will be required in relation to equipment sales made during the year. The estimate has been made
on the basis of quotes obtained from external contractors.

The provision for decommissioning costs represents the present value of the directors’ best estimate of direct costs that
may be incurred to remove the AR1000 turbine foundation from the Group’s testing berth at the European Marine Energy
Centre  in  Scotland  and  make  good  the  site,  expected  to  be  incurred  in  2015.  The  anticipated  expenditure  for  the
decommissioning of the foundation, net of its scrap value, is S$722,000 (£350,000) (2013: £500,000). This expenditure
is capitalised as a development cost and amortised together with the other AR1000 turbine development costs over a
further 13 years upon commissioning of the turbine.

(a)  Shareholders’ loans

In 2011, unsecured long term loans with an aggregate principal amount of S$14,667,000 were raised from ten
shareholders of the Company. In 2012, the Company raised a further S$500,000 from one further shareholder. The
shareholder loans were interest bearing at a rate of 15% per annum with interest accruing daily but compounded
in arrears every 6 months on 30 June and 31 December. 

In 2013, an offer was made to the lenders of these existing shareholder loans to convert the entire principal amount
plus all interest into shares upon the occurrence of the listing of the shares of the Company at a conversion price of
90% of the initial public offering price. All but two of the eleven lenders of these shareholder loans accepted the
Company’s offer. 

As at the end of 2013, the fair value of these two shareholders’ loans was approximately S$1,554,000. These two
shareholder loans were fully repaid in 2014. 

The other nine loans that were amended to be convertible on an initial public offering of the Company were classified
as convertible loans (see below).

(b) Convertible loans

In March and April 2013, the Company entered into and drew down two unsecured term loan facilitates with
principal amounts of S$620,000 and US$100,000 respectively. The loans were repayable three years from the
drawdown date. The interest rate on the loans was 5.0% per annum for the first 12 months, increasing at a rate of
0.75% per annum each six months thereafter until the repayment date. 

In October 2013, the Company launched a convertible loan offering to its existing shareholders by way of a rights
issuance.  The  Company  entered  into  convertible  loan  agreements  with  an  aggregate  principal  amount  of
S$3,915,000 (£1,958,000) through this offering from six existing shareholders of the Company and three directors
of the Company, with proceeds received between October 2013 and January 2014. The convertible loans had a
term of 12 months and an interest rate of 10% p.a., with interest payable quarterly in arrears. A penalty of 6 months’
interest (i.e. 5.0%) was payable upon any prepayment before the end of the term. 

On 20 February 2014, upon admission to AIM, these loans were converted into shares in the Company at a conversion
price of 90% of the initial public offering price. The prepayment penalty was also paid by way of the issuance of
shares in the Company. 

The nine shareholder loans, described in the section above, also converted into shares in the Company at a conversion
price of 90% of the initial public offering price on 20 February 2014 upon the admission of the Company’s shares
to trading on AIM.

Secured long term loans
Atlantis Resources (Scotland) Limited

into a loan agreement of £2 million (S$4.1 million) as the borrower with Scottish Enterprise (as administrator of the
Renewable  Energy  Investment  Fund)  as  the  lender  and  the  Company  as  a  guarantor. The  loan  of  £2  million
(S$4.1 million) is being used to support the development of ARSL’s engineering hub in Scotland and was used to
support the development of the initial phase of the MeyGen project. As at 31 December 2014, the £2 million
(S$4.1 million), had been fully drawn down. The loan is due for repayment in 2019, five years from drawdown, in a
single bullet repayment. The interest rate for the loan is 12.0% per annum, with interest capitalising on 30 June and
31 December of each year and repayable upon maturity of the loan.

MeyGen
In August 2014, as part of the Phase 1A MeyGen project financing, Scottish Enterprise (as administrator of the
Renewable Energy Investment Fund) extended a loan to MeyGen of £7.5 million (S$15.5 million) to finance the
construction  of  the  project.  The  Crown  Estate  Commissioners  committed  an  investment  of  £9.8  million
(S$20.2 million) to MeyGen, also to finance the construction of the Phase 1A project, and which will be serviced
through the payment of “enhanced rent”, with an exit payment at or before the date 10 years from commissioning
of Phase 1A of the project.

The Scottish Enterprise loan and the Crown Estate investment to MeyGen are denominated in British pounds, and
are repayable in the period from 2017 to 2027. As at 31 December 2014, the effective interest rate on these loans
was 7.0% per annum. The total loans drawn down were S$2,300,000 as at 31 December 2014.

The Group’s secured long term loans are secured by way of fixed and floating charges over the assets of subsidiaries.
There was no breach of any loan covenants during the year. 

At the reporting date, the Company does not consider it probable that a claim will be made against the Company
under the guarantees as described above.

The Group’s and the Company’s exposures to interest rate, foreign currency and liquidity risks are described in
Note 26.

Prior to its initial public offering and admission of the Company’s shares to trading on AIM, the Company had one class
of ordinary “A” shares, which had no par value and carried no right to fixed income, and two classes of preference shares.
Holders of class “B” and “C” non-voting preference shares were not entitled to any voting rights and were entitled to
liquidation distributions not exceeding S$2 billion and dividend payments not exceeding S$100 million. The terms of the
Class “B” and “C” non-voting preference shares provided that they would convert to class “A” ordinary shares upon an
initial public offering of ordinary shares of the Company, a trade sale or change in control of the Company. 

On 18 July 2013, the Company undertook a rights issue pursuant to which existing shareholders in the Company were
offered the opportunity to subscribe for up to 223,529,411 new class “A” ordinary shares in the Company at a price of
S$0.017 per share, a target equity raising of S$3.8 million. As a result of this rights issue, Morgan Stanley Renewables’
shareholding in the Company fell below 49.9%, allowing it to exercise all of its 134,194,544 remaining contingent options
and be issued with a corresponding number of new class “A” ordinary shares in the Company.

21. SHARE CAPITAL continued
On 20 February 2014, the Company’s entire share capital was admitted to trading on AIM, a market of the London Stock
Exchange. At the date of admission, the Company’s class “B” and “C” non-voting preference shares in the capital of the
Company were converted into class “A” ordinary shares. Furthermore, the Company’s class “A” ordinary shares were
consolidated on the basis of one new ordinary share for 30 class “A” ordinary shares held by such person on admission.
After conversion of the convertible loans to shares and the public offering of shares for cash, the Company had a total of
76,704,000 shares issued. All issued shares are fully paid, with no par value.

On 31 October 2014 the Company made an additional placing of 12.5 million shares at £0.40 raising an amount of
S$10,300,000 (£5 million), such that following this placement, and as at 31 December 2014, the Company had a total
of 89,204,200 issued shares. 

During the year, S$2,800,000 of expenses (2013: S$179,000) were incurred incidental to the issuance of shares. 

22. CAPITAL RESERVE 
The capital reserve comprises of the difference between the carrying value of net assets transferred to and the consideration
received from the non-controlling interest. 

23. TRANSLATION RESERVE
Translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of
foreign operations.

24. SHARE OPTIONS
Option fee represents call option fees paid up-front by the call option holders on the options over ordinary “A” shares
which have since lapsed.

Share option reserve represents the equity-settled share options granted to employees. The reserve is made up of the
cumulative value of services received from employees recorded on grant date. The expense for services received will be
recognised over the vesting period.

Options over ordinary “A” shares were issued prior to 1 July, 2010 with no further options of this type granted in the four
years to 31 December 2014. The options could have been exercised at any time within the exercisable period but no later
than the expiry date. All 15,713,730 share options for class ordinary “A” shares lapsed in February 2013. 

In 2013, the Company granted 25,000,000 non-voting preference “B” shares under option to an executive director of
the Company, via the Company Shares Option Plan (“CSOP”) established in 2009. Share options granted under the CSOP
carried no rights to dividends and no voting rights until the options become vested and are exercised. Holders of these
share options had no right to participate in any share issues of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 

On 20 February 2014, upon admission of the Company’s shares to AIM, the remaining 39,266,000 options over “B” shares,
exercisable at prices between S$0.155 and S$0.200 per share, converted to options for class “A” ordinary shares and
were then consolidated, in a ratio of 30 to 1, and became options over a total of 1,308,866 ordinary shares at prices
between S$4.659 and S$6.000 per share. The CSOP was terminated upon admission, without prejudice to the rights

Share options were excluded from the diluted weighted-average number of ordinary shares calculation as their effect
would have been anti-dilutive.

The average market value of the Company’s shares for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect of share options was
based on quoted market prices for the period during which the options were outstanding.

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND CAPITAL RISKS MANAGEMENT
The Group is exposed to various financial risks arising in the normal course of business. It has adopted financial risk
management policies and utilised a variety of techniques to manage its exposure to these risks.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss
to the Group.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset as at the end of
the reporting period.

If the relevant foreign currency weakens by 10% against the functional currency of each Group entity, the effects
on profit and loss will be vice versa.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the potential change in interest rates that may have an adverse effect on the Group in
the current reporting year or in future years.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to the effects of fluctuation in bank interest rate on cash and
cash equivalents as well as LIBOR rates on certain loans and borrowings.

At the end of the reporting period, if the 12-month LIBOR rates had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all
other variables held constant, the Group’s loss before tax would have been approximately S$147,000 higher/lower,
arising mainly as a result of higher/lower finance costs. 

Equity price risk
The Group is not exposed to equity price risks as it does not hold any quoted equity investments. 

Capital management policies and objectives
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances.

The capital structure of the Group and the Company consists of equity attributable to owners of the parent and
loans and borrowings amounting to S$110,778,000 (2013: S$72,798,000) and S$68,402,000 (2013: S$44,382,000),
respectively.

There are no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year. The Company is not
subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Except for one subsidiary which is subject to loan restrictions and
dividend distributions, none of the other subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Corporation in connection with the supply of an AR1500 tidal turbine to the MeyGen tidal energy project. The contract
value is for £2.1 million (S$2.7 million) and £1.1 million (S$2.3 million), of which the latter is a provisional sum.

Completion of the acquisition is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent, which largely
relate to the clean separation of MCT from the Siemens group. Completion is expected to occur by the end of May
2015.

as borrower, with the Company as guarantor, entered into a loan agreement with GEG (Holdings) Ltd to borrow a
£2.5 million (S$5.2 million) loan. The loan has a three-year term and is repayable as a single bullet at the end of the
term, with interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum capitalising and not payable until maturity of the loan. The loan is
secured on the assets of MCT and ARSL. Drawdown of the loan is conditional upon the Company’s completion of
the MCT acquisition.
