Independent auditor's reportFor the financial year ended 31 December 2014
Independent auditor's report to the members of Infraco Asia Development Pte. Ltd.
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Infraco Asia Development Pte. Ltd.
(the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") set out on pages 6 to 56, which
comprise the balance sheets of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2014, the
statements of changes in equity of the Group and the Company, the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income and the consolidated cash flow statement of the Group for the year then
ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view
in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the "Act") and
Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that
they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts
and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal 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.

2.4 Basis of consolidation and business combinations
(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of theCompany and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. The financialstatements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financialstatements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistentaccounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and lossesresulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which theGroup obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such controlceases.
Losses within a subsidiary company are attributed to the non-controlling interest even ifthat results in a deficit balance.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary company, without a loss of control,is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary,it:
- De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary attheir carrying amounts at the date when control is lost;
- De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
- De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
- Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
- Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
- Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss;
Re-classifies the Group's share of components previously recognised in othercomprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

Basis of consolidation and business combinations (cont'd)
(b) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination aremeasured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costsare recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and theservices are received.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fairvalue at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingentconsideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in profit orloss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration isclassified as equity, it is not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
In business combinations achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in theacquiree are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date and any correspondinggain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group elects for each individual business combination, whether non-controllinginterest in the acquiree (if any), that are present ownership interests and entitle theirholders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation, is recognisedon the acquisition date at fair value, or at the non-controlling interests proportionateshare of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Other components of non-controllinginterests are measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurementbasis is required by another FRS.
Any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the businesscombination, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fairvalue of the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), over the netfair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Theaccounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 2.8. In instances where the latteramount exceeds the former, the excess is recognized as gain on bargain purchase inprofit or loss on the acquisition date.

2.5 Transaction with non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interest represented the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly orindirectly, to owners of the Company.
Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss ofcontrol are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carryingamounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changesin their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which thenon-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or receivedis recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
2.6 Foreign currency
The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, which is also theCompany's functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functionalcurrency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured usingthat functional currency.
(a) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currenciesof the Company and its subsidiary and are recorded on initial recognition in thefunctional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transactiondates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translatedat the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary itemsthat are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated usingthe exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary itemsmeasured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates atthe date when the fair value was measured.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translatingmonetary items at the end of the reporting period are recognised in profit or loss exceptfor exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group's netinvestment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensiveincome and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity. Theforeign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss of theGroup on disposal of the foreign operation.

2.6 Foreign currency (cont'd)
(b) Consolidated financial statements
For consolidation purpose, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translatedinto USD at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period and theirprofit or loss are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of thetransactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognised inother comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component ofother comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognisedin profit or loss.
In the case of a partial disposal without loss of control of a subsidiary that includes aforeign operation, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchangedifferences are re-attributed to non-controlling interest and are not recognised in profitor loss. For partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that are foreignoperations, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences isreclassified to profit or loss.
2.7 Plant and equipment
All items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition,plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and anyaccumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of plant and equipment is recognisedas an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with theitem will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, theGroup recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives anddepreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost isrecognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if therecognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised inprofit or loss as incurred.
All items of plant and equipment, except for construction in progress, are depreciated on astraight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Computer and software - 3 yearsMotor vehicles - 8 yearsOffice equipment - 5 years
Asset under construction included in plant and equipment are not depreciated as theseassets are not yet available for use.
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events orchanges in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economicbenefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition ofthe asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

2.8 Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured atcost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, fromthe acquisition date, allocated to the Group's cash-generating units that are expected tobenefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets orliabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
The cash-generating units to which goodwill have been allocated is tested for impairmentannually and whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may beimpaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount ofeach cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates.Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carryingamount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognisedfor goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.
Where goodwill forms part of acash-generating unit and part of the operation within thatcash-generating unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed ofis included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss ondisposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based onthe relative fair values of the operations disposed of and the portion of the cash-generatingunit retained.
2.9 Impairment ofnon-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an assetmay be impaired. If any indication exists, or when an annual impairment testing for anasset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount.
An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fairvalue less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset,unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those fromother assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generatingunit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written downto its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flowsexpected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using apre-taxdiscount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and therisks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent markettransactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified,an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in thoseexpense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
2.9 Impairment ofnon-financial assets (cont'd)
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whetherthere is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist ormay have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's or cash-generating units recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversedonly if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverableamount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carryingamount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceedthe carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had noimpairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
2.10 Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. The Group controls over aninvestee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with theinvestee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
In the Company's separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accountedfor at cost less impairment losses.
2.11 Joint arrangements
A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties have jointcontrol. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement,which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimousconsent of the parties sharing control.
A joint arrangement is classified either as joint operation or joint venture, based on therights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement.
To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the assets andobligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement, the arrangement is a jointoperation. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the netassets of the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint venture.
The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for theinvestment using the equity method. On acquisition of the investment, any excess of thecost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the investee'sidentifiable assets and liabilities is accounted as goodwill and is included in the carryingamount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of theinvestee's identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment is included asincome in the determination of the entity's share of the associate or joint venture's profit orloss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

2.11 Joint arrangements (cont'd)
Under the equity method, the investment in joint ventures are carried in the balance sheetat cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of the jointventures. The profit or loss reflects the share of results of the operations of the jointventures. Distributions received from joint ventures reduce the carrying amount of theinvestment. Where there has been a change recognised in other comprehensive income bythe joint venture, the Group recognises its share of such changes in other comprehensiveincome. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group andjoint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint ventures.
When the Group's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in thejoint venture, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurredobligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary torecognise an additional impairment loss on the Group's investment in joint ventures. The
Group determines at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective
evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the Group
calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount ofthe joint venture and its carrying value and recognises the amount in profit or loss.
The financial statements of the joint ventures are prepared for the same reporting period asthe Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in
line with those of the Group.
2.12 Financial instruments
(a) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the
classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in
the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable
transaction costs.

2.12 Financial instruments (cont'dJ
(a) Financial assets (cont'd)
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification asfollows:
(i) Loans and receivables
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are notquoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent toinitial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profitor loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and throughthe amortisation process.
(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets include equity and debt securities. Equityinvestments classified as available-for-sale are those, which are neither classified
as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss. Debt
securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite
period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in
response to changes in the market conditions.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently
measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the
financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that
impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments
and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit
or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive
income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment
when the financial asset is de-recognised.
Investment in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are
measured at cost less impairment loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from
the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the
difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income
is recognised in profit or loss.

2.12 Financial instruments (cont'd)
(b) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the
classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of non-
derivative financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable
transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
Non-derivative financial liabilities
After initial recognition, non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation
process.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged
or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition
of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the
respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in
the balance sheets, when and only when, there is a currently enforceable legal right to
set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to
realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.13 Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that afinancial asset is impaired.
(a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whetherobjective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that areindividually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individuallysignificant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists foran individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the assetin a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively
assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairmentand for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognised are not included in acollective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried atamortised cost has incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference
between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If a loan has a
variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current
effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of
an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial
assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the
amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of
the financial asset.
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial
assets has been incurred, the Group considers factors such as the probability of
insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant
delay in payments.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the
decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the
carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.
The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets carried at cost
If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the business
environment where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or significant financial
difficulties of the issuer) that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has
been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the
assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such
impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash at bank and in hand that are readily convertibleto known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes invalue.
2.15 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 an outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can beestimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources willbe required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time valueof money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects,where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increasein the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
2.16 Capital grants
Capital grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will bereceived and all attaching conditions will be complied with.
Capital grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intendedto compensate. Grants related to income are presented as a credit in profit or loss, as"Other income".
2.17 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directlyattributable to the acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation ofborrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use orsale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowingcosts are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use orsale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costsconsist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing offunds.

2.18 Employee benefits
(a) Defined contribution plans
The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of thecountries in which it has operations. In particular, the Singapore companies in theGroup make contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, adefined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pensionschemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service isperformed.
(b) Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised as a liability when they accrueto employees. The estimated liability for leave is recognised for services rendered byemployees up to the reporting period.
2.19 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on thesubstance of the arrangement at inception date: whether fulfilment of the arrangement isdependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right touse the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
As lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-linebasis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is
recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
2.20 Share-based payment
The cost of acash-settled share-based payment transaction with the service provider ismeasured initially at fair value at the date the Company obtains the goods or the serviceprovider renders the service. This fair value is recognised in profit or loss with recognition ofa corresponding liability. Until the liability in settled, it is remeasured at each reporting datewith changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
The cost of equity-settled share based payment transactions with the service provider ismeasured at fair value at the date the Group obtains the goods or the service providerrenders the service. This cost is recognised in profit or loss, with a corresponding increasein share-based payment reserve.

2.21 Taxes
(a) Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measuredat the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The taxrates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted orsubstantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, in the countries where theGroup operates and generates taxable income.
Current income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the taxrelates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive incomeor directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the taxreturns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject tointerpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the endof the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carryingamounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:
Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of anasset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the timeof the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;and
- In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of thereversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that thetemporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry
forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probablethat taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences,and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised
except:
- Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arisesfrom the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
- In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets arerecognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will
reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which
the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected toapply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of eachreporting period.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outsideprofit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlyingtransaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred taxarising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable rightexists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and thedeferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteriafor separate recognition at that date, would be recognised subsequently if newinformation about facts and circumstances changed. The adjustment would either betreated as a reduction to goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it isincurred during the measurement period or in profit or loss.
(c) Sales tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:
- Where the sales tax incurred in a purchase of assets or services is not recoverablefrom the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of thecost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
- Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority isincluded as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (conYd)
2.22 Share capital
Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity.Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deductedagainst share capital.
2.23 Contingencies
A contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will beconfirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents not wholly within the control of the Group; or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
(i) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation; or
(ii) The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existencewill be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents not wholly within the control of the Group.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised on the balance sheet of the Group,except for contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are presentobligations and which the fair values can be reliably determined.

Infraco Asia Development Pte. Ltd. and its subsidiaries
Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial vear ended 31 December 2014
Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management tomake judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofrevenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at theend of each reporting date. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates couldresult in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of theasset or liability affected in the future periods.
Income taxes
Significant judgement is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There arecertain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertainduring the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for expected taxissues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final taxoutcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, suchdifferences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in whichsuch determination is made.
Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there are any objective evidence ofimpairment that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objectiveevidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvencyor significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cashflows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit riskcharacteristics. The carrying amount of the Group's loans and receivables at the end of thereporting period is disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statements.
