dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to present to you the annual report of BH Global Marine Limited (“BH Global” or the “Group”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 (“FY2011”).

fy2011 at a GlaNceThe Group recorded 39% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) increase in revenue to S$143.4 million in FY2011 (FY2010: S$103.0 million), all-time high since FY2006. This milestone was achieved because of the sterling performance by the Group’s new Engineering Services business division. Engineering Services was introduced in 4QFY2010 to complement demand for traditional core business segment, Supply Chain Management and also to expand the Group’s portfolio offerings. Engineering Services contributed S$64.3 million or 44.8% to the Group’s revenue in FY2011, overtaking Supply Chain Management as the key revenue driver for the Group in FY2011.

The Group registered 17% y-o-y increase in gross profit to S$39.1 million in FY2011 but gross profit margin slid to 27.3% in FY2011 from 32.4% in FY2010 due to change in product mix. Projects secured under the Engineering Services are of relatively higher contractual value than Supply Chain Management’s projects but yield lower margins.

The Group concluded FY2011 with a net profit attributable to shareholders of S$12.9 million

(FY2010: S$11.4 million), representing basic earnings per ordinary share of 2.69 Singapore cents (FY2010: 2.63 Singapore cents).

fy2011: a year Of cONtINUed expaNSION aNd GrOwtH We have gradually evolved from a traditional distributor to an integrated solutions provider over the years. BH Global strives to provide turnkey solutions to customers in the Marine & Offshore and Oil & Gas sectors and hence has embarked on growth strategies to achieve that target:

• Increase competitive edge by expanding portfolio offerings

Under Supply Chain Management business division, the Group carries more than 8,000 product line items from 370 international premium manufacturers & suppliers. The Group has consistently secured new agency rights from renowned principals and has expanded its touch points and sales support network across the borders like in India and China. The Group has also recently added LED lighting to its existing product portfolio. LED lighting is proven to be capable of saving power consumption of more than 90% and last 10 times longer than traditional florescent lighting. These can translate into greater costs savings for the Group’s customers without compromising on the efficiency and luminosity of the lighting.

The Group has entered into a strategic partnership with a joint venture partner to co-develop LED lighting with in-house brand for marine & offshore applications. Our partner has more than 10 years of experience in LED lighting applications and has operations in both China and Taiwan. Our partner has a strong team of technical engineers who have the capability to resolve the heat dissipation issue of LED lighting. We believe in the latent potential of LED lighting in marine and offshore applications given its cost efficiency and environmental friendly nature.

The Group has also further strengthened in its Manufacturing business division in FY2011. The Group’s subsidiary, Z-Power Automation Pte Ltd has recently secured new agency

and distributorship rights from global players and also expanded into Vietnam via a Joint Venture agreement during the year. The manufacturing plant in Oman producing galvanised steel wires for infrastructure players in the Middle East will also expand the Group’s customer base and revenue streams.

Engineering Services was introduced back in 4QFY2010 and has surpassed Supply Chain Management to be the Group’s key revenue driver in FY2011. Leveraging on our wealth of industry experience and established track record, we believe we are well-positioned to advise customers the most appropriate solutions package. Apart from the potential positive spill-over to Supply Chain Management, the Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management and Front-End Engineering Design projects secured will be an additional revenue stream for the Group.

• Expansion of geographical footprints

The Group is entrenched in Singapore and China and has recently moved into India, Vietnam and Middle East with its strategic business ventures. The fabrication facility in Batam, Indonesia allows us to capitalise on the full-implementation of Cabotage Rule ,which requires domestic sea transportation of all goods and persons to be carried out by Indonesian flagged vessels owned by Indonesian companies, and the surging market demand for marine transportation within the country. Our distribution network across the region will allow us to render timely support and delivery to our customers and also to leverage on the booming Oil & Gas sector in this part of the world.

In line with the Group’s strategical overseas expansion plan, revenue derived from overseas as a percentage of the Group’s revenue increased from 28.6% in FY2010 to 52.8% in FY2011.

fy2011: a year Of recOGNItION aNd dIStINctIONWe were awarded the Singapore Corporate Awards for the fifth consecutive year in 2011. BH Global clinched the Silver Medal for Best Managed Boards for companies with less than S$300 million market capitalisation and our CFO, Mr Keegan Chua was conferred the Best CFO award for companies with less than S$300 million market capitalisation. This is a strong testament to the Group’s continuous efforts in ensuring effective communications with our stakeholders. We will continue to focus on the high degree of timeliness and transparency in our communication to the investment community.

MOVING aHeadThe robust oil prices will continue to stimulate demand for Exploration & Production activities and spending for drilling activities in the region. Various market reports indicated positive sentiments in the Oil & Gas and Offshore Marine sectors and also the need for newer and more sophisticated Offshore Support Vessels. There is also growing demand of vessel replacement for existing fleet aged 20 years and above. A series of contract wins including jack-up rigs, semi-submersible and vessel deployment to oil fields support the rebounding offshore market.

We were involved in several M&A activities such as the LED lighting investment and Joint Venture with our Middle East partner in setting up the Oman galvanised steel wire manufacturing plant during the year to further enhance our business offerings so as to capture market share during the recovery trend. FY2012 will be a year when the Group will focus on consolidating and integrating the new business ventures to harness positive synergies in the near future. We will evaluate and elaborate on the resources deployment so as to maximise efficiency and cost benefits throughout the Group. We will continue to build upon the current order book to secure a steady stream of future revenue and loyal customer pool. We will focus our effort in building up track record for new business ventures and eventually for our turnkey solutions package.

a wOrd Of apprecIatIONTo reward our shareholders for their unwavering support, we are pleased to propose a first and final cash dividend of 0.7 Singapore cents per ordinary share (one-tier tax exempt) for FY2011, representing a dividend payout ratio of 26.0%.

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our board of directors, the management team and our employees for their dedication and commitment; and to our shareholders, customers, vendors and other stakeholders for their continuous support.

Thank you!

SUpply cHaIN MaNaGeMeNt

The Group distributes a comprehensive range of marine and offshore electrical products like cables, lighting systems and consumables from international renowned brand partners/manufacturers under its Supply Chain Management. These products not only meet product safety specifications, but are also technically certified to ABS, DNV and other class standards. BH Global has over S$30 million worth of inventory as at 31 December 2011, consisting of 8,000 product line items from 370 international premium manufacturers & suppliers housed in its over 200,000 square feet warehousing facility. The Group services ship chandlers, ship owners, ship-management companies, shipyards and fabrication contractors in their new-build, repair and conversion projects.

The Supply Chain Management business division remains to be the Group’s core business and the division contributed about 43.2% to the Group’s revenue for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 (“FY2011”) (FY2010: 64.8%). Revenue contribution from this division declined 7.2% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) to S$62.0 million in FY2011 primarily due to softer market demand. A new business division, the Engineering Services, was initiated in 4QFY2010 in a bid to stimulate demand for the Group’s core business and also to diversify the Group’s revenue stream in the future.

The major contract for floating, production, storage and offloading (“FPSO”) vessel secured in FY2010 is close to completion. Exploration and Production activities, well-supported by robust oil prices, continue to be vibrant. Enquiries for new-build, particularly Offshore Support Vessels remained healthy. We believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from this uptrend with our complementary Engineering Services business division.

MaNUfactUrING

The Manufacturing business division has two sub-divisions namely Marine Switchboards (“MS”) and Galvanised Steel Wire (“GSW”). BH Global’s 60% owned subsidiary, Z-Power Automation Pte Ltd (“Z-Power”), specializes in assembly, manufacturing and repairing of switchboards, distribution panels, consoles , control systems and switchgears. It serves major shipyards and ship owners in the ASEAN region for new builds, conversion and conversion projects.

Z-Power is the appointed OEM manufacturer and technical service and maintenance agent of Niigata Power System of Japan, an established and reputable provider of diesel engines and its related products. Z-Power has also been appointed as the service agent and authorized distributor of Lilaas As (Norway) (“LAS”) and Valcom SRL (Italy) (“SRL”) respectively in the first quarter 2012.

the business of manufacturing, installation and maintenance of industrial electrical equipment and industrial electricity signal system for marine, offshore, factories, industrial manufacturing system. This is in line with the Group’s strategies to expand product offerings and regional footprints.

The Group operates its GSW sub-division under its 60% owned subsidiary, Sky Holding Pte Ltd, which has the niche in manufacturing and supplying specialty steel wires for electric power and telecommunications cables. Sky Holding counts cable manufacturing companies based in G.C.C Countries and ASEAN countries as key customers.

The Group has also incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Steel Industries Pte. Ltd. (“Global Steel”) in May 2011 under its GSW sub-division. In October 2011, Global Steel entered into a Joint Venture agreement with Takamul Investment Company S.A.O.C., to establish a joint venture company, Gulf Specialty Steel Industries LLC (“GSSI”) in the Sultanate of Oman. GSSI will carry on the businesses of development, construction and operation of a plant for the manufacture of galvanized steel wire products for use in armouring cables in the Sultanate of Oman. The ground breaking ceremony of the manufacturing plant in Oman was held in February 2012. We expect the construction to be completed and ready for production by 1st Quarter 2013. The plant is capable of producing 60,000 tonnes of galvanized steel wire at an estimated annual value of US$60 million at the initial stage. The Group has plans to increase its capacity gradually to reach 200,000 tonnes per annum.

Oman is in the midst of industrial and infrastructure development and hence demand for underground cables remains high. Currently, the Group will have to supply these galvanised steel wires from Singapore or China to the Middle East market. These imports will be then be subjected to significant import tax and high logistics expenses. Thus, the Group is able to capitalise on the market demand, achieve costs savings and render more timely support to the customers with the establishment of a manufacturing facility in Oman.

The Manufacturing division contributed S$17.1 million in FY2011 (FY2010: S$19.0 million), representing about 11.9% (FY2010: 18.5%) of the Group’s revenue. MS contributed S$11.9 million to the division’s revenue in FY2011 (FY2010: S$12.7 million) while GSW contributed S$5.2 million in FY2011 as compared to S$6.3 million in FY2010. Revenue contribution from GSW sub-division declined 18% y-o-y mainly due to keen direct competition from the Middle East market.

The Group also operates a 5-hectares fabrication yard in Indonesia’s Batam Island that has the capability of constructing tugs, barges and oil tankers. We are acquiring another piece of land with area of 30-hectares to embark on an expansion programme in phases to gradually increase both the operational land area and capacity over the next 3-5 years.

Our subsidiary, Oil & Gas Solutions Pte Ltd, has also incorporated a 70%-owned subsidiary, Dalian Nautical Offshore & Marine Technologies Co., Ltd. (“DNO”) in Dalian, China in November 2011. DNO is formed to hire the more cost-competitive local Chinese engineers and also to open up China markets for SCM’s products.Revenue contribution from the Engineering Services has more than doubled from S$17.2 million in FY2010 to S$64.3 million in FY2011, representing approximately 44.8% of the Group’s revenue in FY2011. This division is the key revenue driver for the Group in FY2011 and we believe that this trend will continue in the near future.

We have gained momentum in our contract wins during the year. These orders will continue to keep our yard busy till 1H2012. BH Global will be providing engineering and fabrication services as part of our work scope in these contracts which are awarded by a major oil company in Indonesia.

Demand for natural resources like coal in Indonesia and the full implementation of the Cabotage Rule will continue to stimulate demand for Indonesian-flagged marine transportation within the country. The Group will continue to build a track record for this new business division so as to secure a steady stream of revenue and profits in the future.

New BUSINeSS VeNtUreS

The Group has invested US$5.0 million to acquire 25% of the enlarged share capital in GL Lighting Holding Pte Ltd (“GLH”) in May 2011. GLH and its subsidiaries are in the business of manufacturing and sales of LED lighting modules and fixtures with specialisation in controls, electronics, power management, optics, fixture design and integration in China and Taiwan. Subsequently in September 2011, BH Global entered into a Joint Venture agreement to subscribe for 70% equity interest in the share capital of GL Lighting International Pte Ltd, which is engaged in the distribution, sale, installation, consultancy, commissioning and repairs of LED lightings, fixtures and LED related products.

LED lighting is able to achieve up to 90% savings in power consumption without compromising on luminance and it is able to last for 50,000 hours. We are working on the integration of LED light engines and modules for renowned lighting manufacturers. We believe in the latent potential of LED lighting and are convinced that it will be set to replace conventional lighting in the near future. Being an established marine lighting player, BH Global sees the opportunity to tap on this growing business segment.

Steady GrOwtH The Group’s revenue increased 39% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) to S$143.4 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 (“FY2011”) primarily driven by the surge in revenue contribution from the new business segment, Engineering Services. Revenue contribution from the Supply Chain Management business segment declined 7% y-o-y to S$62.0 million in FY2011 (FY2010: S$66.8 million) largely due to softer market demand while revenue contribution from Manufacturing business segment decreased 10% from $19.0 million in FY2010 to S$17.1 million in FY2011. These were offset by the revenue contribution from the Engineering Services business segment which jumped 275% y-o-y to S$64.3 million in FY2011 (FY2010: S$17.2 million), representing about 44.8% of the Group’s revenue in FY2011 (FY2010: 16.7%).

Singapore remains the traditional foothold of the Group, contributing S$67.7 million or 47.2% to the Group’s revenue in FY2011 (FY2010: S$73.5 million or 71.4% of the Group’s revenue). In line with the Group’s strategy to expand geographical footprints, revenue derived from South-East Asia and other countries grew 247.5% y-o-y to S$75.7 million in FY2011 (FY2010: S$29.5 million). This was mainly attributable to the contribution from the Engineering Services and Manufacturing business segments that successfully secured more orders across the region.

prOfItaBIlItyThe Group reported 17.1% y-o-y increase in gross profit to S$39.1 million in FY2011 as compared to S$33.4 million in FY2010. However, Change in product mix gave rise to a lower gross profit margin of 27.3% in FY2011 (FY2010: 32.4%) as projects secured under the Engineering Services generally yield lower margins.

OperatING expeNSeSOperating expenses, including administrative, selling and distribution expenses, increased 22.4% y-o-y to S$23.1 million in FY2011 (FY2010: S$18.9 million). This was mainly attributable to higher personnel cost, allowance for doubtful debts and fair value adjustment of contingent consideration in a business combination offset by a revised and lower provision for stock obsolescence . Despite higher volume of sales activities, operating expenses were kept under firm control at 16.1% of the Group’s revenue in FY2011 (FY2010: 18.3%).

Net prOfItThe Group concluded FY2011 with a net profit attributable to shareholders of S$12.9 million, 14% y-o-y increase from S$11.4 million in FY2010. This was represented by basic earnings per ordinary share of 2.69 Singapore cents in FY2011 (FY2010: 2.63 Singapore cents).

STATEMENT BY DIRECTORS

BH GLOBAL MARINE LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2011 45

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of BH Global Marine Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as set out on pages 46 to 104, which comprise the statements of fi nancial positions of the Group and Company as at 31 December 2011, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash fl ows of the Group and statement of changes in equity of the Company for the fi nancial year then ended, and a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls suffi cient 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 profi t and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets.

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 fi nancial statements.

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

OpinionIn our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group and the statement of fi nancial position and statement of changes in equity of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Company as at 31 December 2011 and the results, changes in equity and cash fl ows of the Group and changes in equity of the Company for the fi nancial year ended on that date.

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.

These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying fi nancial statements.

1 Corporate information

The Company (Co. Reg. No. 200404900H), is incorporated and domiciled in Singapore. The address of its registered offi ce is at 8 Penjuru Lane, Singapore 609189.

The principal activity of the Company is that of investment holding. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 10 to the fi nancial statements.

The Company’s immediate and ultimate holding company is Beng Hui Holding (S) Pte Ltd, incorporated in Singapore. Related companies are subsidiaries of Beng Hui Holding (S) Pte Ltd.

2 Signifi cant accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The fi nancial statements, (expressed in Singapore dollars which is the Company’s functional currency), have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”). The fi nancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with FRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the fi nancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fi nancial year. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions and historical experiences and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may ultimately differ from those 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.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are signifi cant to the fi nancial statements are disclosed in Note 2(bb) to the fi nancial statements.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other current receivables and payables approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these fi nancial instruments.

In the current fi nancial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised FRS and Interpretations of FRS (“INT FRS”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current fi nancial year. The adoption of these new/revised FRSs did not result in substantial changes to the Group’s and Company’s accounting policies and had no material effect on the fi nancial statements.

2 Signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)

a) Basis of preparation (cont’d)

(i) Measurement of non-controlling interests in business combinations

With effect from 1 January 2011, the Group has applied the amendments to FRS 103 Business Combinations resulting from the Improvements to FRSs 2010 in measuring at the acquisition date, non-controlling interests that are not present ownership interests and do not entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets in the event of liquidation. With the amendment, such non-controlling interests are now measured at fair value.

Previously, the Group’s accounting policy enables the Group to elect on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure non-controlling interests that are not present ownership interests and do not entitle holders to proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets on liquidation at fair value, or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifi able net assets, at the acquisition date.

This change has been made the Group’s accounting policy (see note 2(d)) and will apply prospectively to new business combinations occurring on or after 1 January 2011. This change has no material impact on the fi nancial statements of the Group.

(ii) Identifi cation of related party relationships

With effect from 1 January 2011, the Group has applied the revised FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures (2010) to identify parties that are related to the Group and for determination of required related party disclosures. The wordings in the revised FRS 24 were improved to provide clarity and additional guidance in the defi nitions and disclosures for related parties.

The adoption of FRS 24 (2010) affects only disclosures made in the fi nancial statements. There is no fi nancial effect on the fi nancial statements of the Group. The Group’s related party disclosures are in Note 29.

At the end of the reporting period, the following FRS and INT FRS were issued, revised or amended but not effective:

FRS 19 Employee Benefi tsFRS 27 Separate Financial StatementsFRS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint VenturesFRS 110 Consolidated Financial StatementsFRS 111 Joint ArrangementsFRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other EntitiesFRS 113 Fair Value MeasurementsAmendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive IncomeAmendments to FRS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying AssetsAmendments to FRS 101 Severe Hyperinfl ation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time AdoptersAmendments to FRS 107 Disclosures -Transfers of Financial Assets

The Group anticipates that the adoption of these FRSs and INT FRSs (where applicable) in future periods will have no material impact on the fi nancial statements of the Company and the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group.

2 Signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)

b) Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value for the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and rendering of services, net of goods and services tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to the entity, and the amount of revenue and related cost can be reliably measured.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the products to the customer and signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the customer.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Revenue from services is recognised during the fi nancial year in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specifi c transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be performed. The accounting policy for revenue from construction contracts is disclosed in Note 2(l).

Dividend income is recognised when the rights to receive payment is established.

c) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities. The Group generally has such power when it directly or indirectly, holds more than 50% of the issued share capital, or controls more than half of the voting power, or controls the composition of the board of directors. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has control over another entity.

In the Company’s statement of fi nancial position, investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of the investment, the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profi t or loss.

d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries at the end of the reporting period. The fi nancial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as the parent company. Consistent accounting policies are applied for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

Intragroup balances and transactions, including income, expenses and dividends, are eliminated in full. Profi ts and losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and property, plant and equipment, are eliminated in full.

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

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

d) Basis of consolidation (cont’d)

Any excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any) and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), over the fair value of the net identifi able assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for goodwill stated in Note 2(g). In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognised as gain on bargain purchase in profi t or loss on the date of acquisition.

Non-controlling interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets in a subsidiary attributable to the interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the equity holders of the Company. They are showed separately in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of fi nancial position. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests based on their respective interests in a subsidiary, even if the subsidiary incurred losses and the losses allocated exceed the non-controlling interests in the subsidiary’s equity.

For non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets in the event of liquidation, the Group elects on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis whether to measure them at fair value, or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifi able assets, at the acquisition date. All other non-controlling interests are measured at acquisition date fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specifi ed in another standard.

In business combinations achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions (ie transactions with owners in their capacity as owners).

When a change in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary result in a loss of control over the subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary including any goodwill are derecognised. Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are also reclassifi ed to profi t or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings if required by a specifi c FRS.

e) Associated companies

An associated company is an entity over which the Group has signifi cant infl uence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Signifi cant infl uence is the power to participate in the fi nancial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated fi nancial statements using the equity method of accounting.

Investment in associated companies are initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

e) Associated companies (cont’d)

In applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of its associated companies’ post-acquisition profi ts or losses is recognised in the profi t or loss and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. These post-acquisition movements and distributions received from associated companies are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associated company equals or exceeds its interest in the associated company, including any other unsecured non-current receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has obligations or has made payments on behalf of the associated company.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in the Group’s profi t or loss.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profi ts and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Upon loss of signifi cant infl uence over the associate, the Group measures any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of signifi cant infl uence and the fair value of the aggregate of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profi t or loss.

Gains and losses arising from partial disposals or dilutions in investment in associated companies in which signifi cant infl uence is retained are recognised in profi t or loss.

In the Company’s fi nancial statements, investment in associated companies are carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss. On disposal of investment in associates, the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment is recognised in profi t or loss.

f) Joint ventures

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control that is when the strategic fi nancial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The Group’s interest in joint ventures is accounted for in the consolidated fi nancial statements using equity method.

Investment in joint ventures is initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

f) Joint ventures (cont’d)

In applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of its joint ventures’ post-acquisition profi ts or losses is recognised in profi t or loss and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. These post-acquisition movements and distributions received from joint venture are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured non-current receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has obligations or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the joint venture recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately as income in the Group’s profi t or loss.

Where a group entity transacts with a joint venture of the Group, profi ts and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant joint venture.

Upon loss of signifi cant infl uence over the joint venture, the Group measures any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of signifi cant infl uence and the fair value of the aggregate of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profi t or loss.

Gains and losses arising from partial disposals or dilutions in investment in joint ventures in which signifi cant infl uence is retained are recognised in profi t or loss.

In the Company’s fi nancial statements, investment in joint ventures are carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss. On disposal of investment in joint ventures, the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment is recognised in profi t or loss.

g) Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefi t 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 the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated fi rst 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 subsequent periods.

On disposal of a subsidiary, associated company and jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profi t or loss on disposal.

The Group’s policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of associated companies and joint ventures are described in Notes 2(e) and 2(f).

h) Property, plant and equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. The cost of property, plant and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset.

On disposal of a property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is taken to profi t or loss.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Number of years

Extension, addition and alteration works 10-50

Motor vehicles 5

Warehouse equipment and fi ttings 5

Computer and offi ce equipment 3

Furniture, fi ttings and renovation 5

Yard facilities 10

Plant and machinery 5

The leasehold properties are depreciated based on the shorter of 50 years or lease period.

The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date. The effects of any revision are recognised in profi t or loss when the changes arise.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the fi nancial statements until they are no longer in use.

i) Intangible assets

Club membership

Club membership is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any. Club membership with indefi nite useful live is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if the events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

j) Impairment of non-fi nancial assets excluding goodwill

At each reporting date, the Group assesses the carrying amounts of its non-fi nancial 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.

BH GLOBAL MARINE LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2011 61

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

2 Signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)

j) Impairment of non-fi nancial assets excluding goodwill (cont’d)

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 fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset.

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 profi t or loss.

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 previously recognised impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is only reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

k) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of fi nished goods and work-in-progress includes raw materials, direct labour and related production overheads based on normal operating capacity but excludes borrowing costs.

Cost is determined on the following basis:Marine electrical equipment, steel products and consumables – fi rst-in fi rst-out Armouring steel – weighted average Others – specifi c identifi cation

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

l) Construction contracts

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at end of the reporting period (“percentage-of-completion method”). When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

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

At the end of the reporting date, the cumulative costs incurred plus recognised profi t (less recognised loss) on each contract is compared against the progress billings. Where the cumulative costs incurred plus the recognised profi ts (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is presented as due from customers on construction contracts. Where progress billings exceed the cumulative costs incurred plus recognised profi ts (less recognised losses), the balance is presented as due to customers on construction contracts.

Progress billings not yet paid by customers and retentions by customers are included within “trade receivables”. Advances received are included within “other payables”.

m) Lease

Finance leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classifi ed as fi nance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and fi nance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of fi nance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the fi nance cost is taken to profi t or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The asset acquired under fi nance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or the lease term.

Operating leases

Leases where a signifi cant portion of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessor are classifi ed as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are taken to profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period expires, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.

n) Income taxes

Income tax on the profi t or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profi t or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income for the current year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the fi nancial statements, except where the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profi t or loss.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on currently enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax are charged or credited to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged in the same or a different period, directly to equity.

o) Financial assets

i) Classifi cation

The Group classifi es its fi nancial assets according to the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classifi cation of its fi nancial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. The Group’s only fi nancial assets are loans and receivables and at fair value through profi t or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except those maturing later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classifi ed as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are classifi ed within trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents on the statement of fi nancial position.

Financial assets, at fair value through profi t or loss

This category has two sub-categories: fi nancial assets held for trading, and those designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profi t or loss. A fi nancial asset is classifi ed as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Financial assets designated as at fair value through profi t or loss at initial recognition are those that are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented Group’s investment strategy. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Assets in this category are presented as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

ii) Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of fi nancial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the fi nancial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On disposal of a fi nancial asset, the difference between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profi t or loss. Any amount in the fair value reserve relating to that asset is also transferred to profi t or loss.

iii) Initial measurement

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, which are recognised at fair value. Transaction costs for fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss are recognised as expenses.

iv) Subsequent measurement

Financial assets, at fair value through profi t or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, including effects of currency translation, are recognised in profi t or loss in the fi nancial year in which the changes in fair values arise.

Interest income on fi nancial assets are recognised separately in profi t or loss.

o) Financial assets (cont’d)

v) Impairment

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or a group of fi nancial assets is impaired.

Loans and receivables

Signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or fi nancial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired.

The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in profi t or loss. The allowance amount is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in profi t or loss.

If in subsequent periods, 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 profi t or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversed date.

p) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument.

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, plus, in the case of fi nancial liabilities other than derivatives, directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value. Other fi nancial liabilities (except for the fi nancial guarantees) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

For fi nancial liabilities other than derivatives, gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised in profi t or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences. A fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished.

q) Financial guarantees

A fi nancial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specifi c payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specifi c debtor fails to make payment when due.

Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at their fair values plus transaction costs. Financial guarantees are classifi ed as fi nancial liabilities.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the fi nancial guarantees are stated at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation and the expected amount payable to the holder. Financial guarantees contracts are amortised in profi t or loss over the period of the guarantee.

r) Derivative fi nancial instruments and hedge accounting

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the fi nancial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

The Group uses derivative fi nancial instruments (primarily foreign currency forward contracts) to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fl uctuations relating to certain fi rm commitments and forecasted transactions. The signifi cant interest rate risk arises from bank borrowings.

The use of fi nancial derivatives is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on the use of fi nancial derivatives consistent with the Group’s risk management strategy. The Group does not use derivative fi nancial instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivative fi nancial instruments are initially measured at fair value on the contract date, and are re-measured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates.

Changes in the fair value of derivative fi nancial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in profi t or loss as they arise.

s) Provisions for other liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, and it is probable that an outfl ow of economic resources will be required to settle that obligation and the amount can be estimated reliably. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting date. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision shall be discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects the current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specifi c to the obligation.

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a fi nance cost in profi t or loss.

t) Employee benefi ts

Defi ned contribution plans Defi ned contribution plans are post-employment benefi t plans under which the Group pays fi xed contributions into separate entities such as the Central Provident Fund, and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions once the contributions have been paid. Contributions to defi ned contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed.

Employee leave entitlement

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

u) Foreign currencies

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the fi nancial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The fi nancial statements of the Group and the Company are presented in Singapore Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profi t or loss, except for currency translation differences on net investment in foreign operations and borrowings and other currency instruments qualifying as net investment hedges for foreign operations, which are included in the currency translation reserve within equity in the consolidated fi nancial statements.

Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.

Translation of Group entities’ fi nancial statements

The results and fi nancial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinfl ationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rates at the reporting date;

(ii) Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and

(iii) All resulting exchange differences are taken to the currency translation reserve within equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations (including monetary items that, in substance, form part of the net investment in foreign entities), and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

On disposal of a foreign group entity, the cumulative amount of the currency translation reserve relating to that particular foreign entity is reclassifi ed from equity and recognised in profi t or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.

v) Dividends

Interim dividends are recorded during the fi nancial year in which they are declared payable. Final dividends are recorded in the Group’s fi nancial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

w) 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 deducted against share capital.

x) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash fl ows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits with fi nancial institutions which are subject to an insignifi cant risk of change in value, bank overdrafts that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignifi cant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are presented as current borrowings on the statement of fi nancial position.

y) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with other components of the Group. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Group’s chief operating decision maker for making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

z) Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party, or exercise signifi cant infl uence over the other party in making fi nancial and operating decision. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common signifi cant infl uence. Related parties may be individual or corporate entities.

aa) Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is recognised as deferred capital grant on the statement of fi nancial position and is amortised to profi t or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised in profi t or loss over the period necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

bb) Signifi cant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the Group’s fi nancial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year are discussed below.

Income taxes

The Group has exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Signifi cant judgment is involved in determining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

The carrying amount of the Group’s income tax payable, deferred tax assets and liabilities at 31 December 2011 are $3,358,000, $264,000 and $937,000 (2010: $2,596,000, $160,000 and $Nil) respectively.

Impairment of trade and other receivables

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a fi nancial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor and default or signifi cant delay in payments.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount of future cash fl ows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amounts of the Group’s trade and other receivables at 31 December 2011 are disclosed in Notes 17 and 18.

Write down for slow-moving inventories

Management reviews the inventory ageing listing on a periodic basis. This review involves comparison of the carrying amount of the aged inventory items with the respective net realisable value. The purpose is to ascertain whether a write down is required to be made in the fi nancial statements for slow-moving items. Management is satisfi ed that the inventories have been written down adequately in the fi nancial statements. The carrying amount of inventories at 31 December 2011 is $56,552,000 (2010: $47,329,000) after write-down of $424,000 (2010: $2,152,000) during the year.

Impairment of non-fi nancial assets

The Group assesses annually whether there are any indicators of impairment of all non-fi nancial assets at each reporting date. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and at other times when such indicators exist. Other non-fi nancial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash fl ows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash fl ows. Further details of the key assumptions applied in the impairment assessment of goodwill and the carrying amount of the goodwill, are given in Note 14 to the fi nancial statements.

2 Signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)

bb) Signifi cant accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d)

Property, plant and equipment

The Group reviews the residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment at each reporting date in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2(h). The estimation of the residual amount and useful lives involves signifi cant judgment.

During the year, the useful lives of certain assets were revised. As a result of this review, the estimated useful lives of certain assets have been increased from 5 years to 10 years. The change in estimates reduced the depreciation charge for the year by $232,000.

The net carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at 31 December 2011 is $34,256,000 (2010: $22,171,000) and the annual depreciation charge for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2011 is $2,829,000 (2010: $1,422,000) (Note 9).

Construction contracts

The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its contract revenue where it is probable that contract costs are recoverable. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred to-date compared to the estimated total costs for the contract.

Signifi cant assumptions are required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the contract costs incurred, the estimated total contract revenue and contract costs, as well as the recoverability of the contracts. Total contract revenue also includes an estimation of the variation works and claims that are recoverable from the customers. In making these estimates, the Group has applied on past experience and knowledge of the project managers/engineers. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising from construction contracts at 31 December 2011 are disclosed in Note 16.

Provision for warranty

Provision for warranty represents the best estimate of the Group’s liability to repair switchboards or replace affected parts during warranty period. During the year, the Group revises the basis of provision from 4% of the project sales to 1.6% of the project sales. The change in estimates result in reversal of provision of $533,000 to the profi t or loss. The carrying amount of provision for warranty at 31 December 2011 is $355,000 (2010: $888,000) (Note 23).

(e) Contingent consideration arrangement

(i) In year 2009, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement of Sky Holding Pte Ltd (“SKY”) between the Company and Wong Chan Seng and Steven Wong (collectively, the Vendors), the total purchase consideration paid by the Company is based on 1.188 times the average of the net operating profi t after tax (excluding extraordinary and non-recurring items) (“Net Operating PAT”) of SKY for the fi nancial years ended 31 December 2009, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2011 (“Actual Consideration”). The Actual Consideration shall be determined on the issuance of the statutory report for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2011. In the event the Actual Consideration shall be less than $1,782,000, the Vendors jointly and severally undertake to pay an amount of shortfall to the extent of the performance guaranteed.

For the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2011, the directors determined that the performance guaranteed of SKY will not be met. No adjustment is made to recognise the contingent receivable of $1,782,000 in the fi nancial statements as the amount is unlikely to be recovered.

(ii) In the previous fi nancial year, pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement of OGS between the Company and Soh Long Ping, Chang Kainy and Tommy Ho, the Company is required to subscribe additional shares in OGS based on 60% of the aggregate of the FY 2010 and FY 2011 net profi t after tax and the total subscription price shall not exceed $4,950,000. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date of $153,000 was recognised in the previous year’s fi nancial statements.

In accordance with FRS 103 Business Combinations, the management re-assessed the fair value of contingent consideration during the year and the fair value change of $312,000 is recognised in profi t or loss (Note 5).

(f) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries

Impairment test for goodwill (cont’d)

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions for the value-in-use calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling prices and direct costs during the period. Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that refl ect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the CGUs. The growth rates are based on industry growth forecasts. Changes in selling prices and direct costs are based on past practices and expectations of future changes in the market.

The key assumptions used are as follows:Group

Financial risk management

The Group’s activities expose it to market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity and commodity price risk) and credit risk. The Group’s overall fi nancial risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the unpredictability of fi nancial markets on the Group’s fi nancial performance.

The Board of Directors provides written principles for overall fi nancial risk management and written policies covering the specifi c areas above. Such written policies are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and periodic reviews are undertaken to ensure that the Group’s policy and guidelines are complied with. Risk management is carried out by the Risk Management Committee under the policies approved by the Board of Directors.

There has been no signifi cant change to the Group’s exposure to these fi nancial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures fi nancial risk. Market risk and credit risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis indicated below.

a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk arises on certain purchases that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of entities in the Group. The currencies that give rise to this risk are primarily United States dollar, Euro and United Arab Emirates dirham.

The Group’s fi nancial risk management policy is to hedge any exposure exceeding US$100,000 or EUR70,000 based on the weekly foreign exchange requirement report and cash fl ow of the Group. It is not the Group’s policy to take speculative positions in foreign currencies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

30 Financial risk instruments (cont’d)

a) Market risk (cont’d)

Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates arise mainly from the Group’s fi xed deposits placed with fi nancial institutions and bank borrowings. For interest income from the fi xed deposits, the Group manages the interest rate risks by placing fi xed deposits with reputable fi nancial institutions on varying maturities and interest rate terms. Interest expense from bank borrowings arises from term loans, working capital loan, factoring loan and trust receipts (Note 24).

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal as the impact of interest rate fl uctuations on loans to subsidiaries (Note 19) are insignifi cant, and the Company has no interest-bearing liabilities.

Sensitivity analysis of the Group’s and Company’s interest rate risk exposures are not presented as the impact of an increase/decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates are not expected to be signifi cant.

Commodity price risk

The Group has commodity price risk as copper and steel are its main raw materials. Copper and steel are traded commodities and their prices are subject to the fl uctuations of the world commodity markets. Any signifi cant increases in the prices for copper and steel will have a material adverse impact on the fi nancial position and results of operation. The Group’s profi tability will be adversely affected if the Group is unable to pass on any increase in raw material prices to its customers on a timely basis or fi nd cheaper alternative sources of supply.

The Group monitors the material price fl uctuation closely and as far as possible, locked in material prices on confi rmed orders.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter diffi culty in meeting fi nancial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of fi nancial assets and liabilities. The Group manages the liquidity risk by maintaining suffi cient cash to enable them to meet their normal operating commitments and having an adequate amount of committed credit facilities (Note 24).

The table below summarises the maturity profi le of the Group’s non-derivative fi nancial liabilities at the end of the reporting period based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.

d) Capital risk

The Group’s objective when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholders’ value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, buy back issued shares, obtain new borrowings or sell assets to reduce borrowings.

The capital structure of the Group mainly consists of equity and borrowings and the Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2010.

31 Fair value

The carrying amounts of fi nancial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values due to their short-term nature except for the equity loan due from a joint venture as disclosed in Note 11. However, the Group does not anticipate the carrying amount at the end of the reporting period to be signifi cantly different from the value that would eventually be settled.

Forward currency contracts are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy which is measured based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Group and the Company has no other fi nancial instruments.
