RISK FACTORS
You should evaluate carefully each of the following risk factors and all of the other information set forth in this Offer Document before deciding to invest in our Shares. Some of the following considerations relate principally to the industry in which we operate and our business in general. Other considerations relate principally to general social, economic, political and regulatory conditions, the securities market and ownership of our Shares, including possible future dilution in the value of our Shares. You should also note that certain of the statements set forth below constitute forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. If any of the following risk factors and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In such circumstances, the trading price of our Shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. To the best of our Directors belief and knowledge, all the risk factors that are material to investors in making an informed judgement have been set out below. RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE INDUSTRY We are dependent on the construction industry in Singapore, which is in turn dependent on the health of the local property market and general economy As we derived approximately 100.0%, 98.7%, 99.4% and 99.9% of our revenue for FY2010, FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013, respectively, from the construction industry in Singapore, we are exposed to the fluctuations of the construction industry in Singapore which is in turn dependent on the health of the property market and the general economy of Singapore. A downturn in the Singapore economy will dampen general sentiments in the property market in Singapore and reduce construction demand, which may invariably have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance. In addition, this cyclical change in the construction industry may result in reduced number of projects available for tender and our profit margins may be eroded due to keener competition. Our business is generally project-based and we face the risk of any delay or premature termination of our secured projects and/or we may not be able to secure new projects Our business is generally project-based. We therefore have to continuously and consistently secure new customers and/or new projects. If we are unable to secure new projects of a similar contract value, size or margins to existing ones and/or our secured projects are delayed or prematurely terminated because of factors such as changes in our customers businesses, poor market conditions or lack of funds on the part of the property owners/developers of projects, this would lead to idle or excess capacity for us or may expose us to be liable to our sub-contractors and/or suppliers, and may adversely affect our business, financial performance and financial condition. The delay or premature termination of any projects or contracts in progress or customers decision not to proceed with a contracted project whereby our Group will not be adequately compensated will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there may be a lapse of time between the completion of existing projects and the commencement of subsequent projects which may materially and adversely affect our Groups financial performance and financial position.
32
RISK FACTORS
Our ability to secure projects depends on our ability to secure performance bonds As all of our design and build projects require a performance bond to be furnished by an acceptable financial institution or insurance company to guarantee our contractual performance in the project, our ability to secure such performance bonds is critical as it would determine our ability to secure such projects. In the event that we are unable to secure the requisite performance bonds for any reason, we may be unable to secure design and build projects and this will materially and adversely affect our revenue and profitability. We are vulnerable to the availability and costs of employing foreign personnel as well as any significant increase in prices or shortage of construction materials We typically engage sub-contractors to undertake the actual construction works for our design and build projects and our sub-contractors rely heavily on foreign labour for such projects. Our sub-contractors also typically require construction materials such as steel, bricks, concrete, piping and timber, the prices of which may fluctuate due to changes in supply and demand conditions. As such, our business operations and financial performance are vulnerable to any shortage in the supply of foreign workers or construction materials and any increase in the cost of foreign labour or the prices of construction materials. In particular, where any of the sub-contracted works for an existing project have yet to be awarded to sub-contractors, any increase in foreign manpower costs or increase in the prices of construction materials will be factored in to such sub-contractors quotes, which may materially and adversely affect our profit margins for such projects. The supply of foreign manpower as well as the supply of construction materials are subject to any changes in the relevant policies of the countries of origin, market demand or the policies imposed by the MOM in Singapore or other relevant authorities in the jurisdictions where we operate. In the event that there is a shortage of foreign manpower and/or construction materials, our operations may be disrupted and our business and profitability may be adversely affected. Any cost overruns will adversely affect the financial performance of our Group Our revenue is largely derived from project-based contracts. The contract value quoted in the tender submission is determined after the evaluation of our scope of work and all related costs including the indicative prices of our sub-contractors. Our contracts for project works are negotiated in advance of the actual project execution and projects can vary in duration from several months up to a few years. Our profitability is therefore dependent on our ability to obtain competitive quotations from sub-contractors at or below our estimated costs, and our ability to execute the contracts efficiently. However, unforeseen circumstances such as logistic disruptions, adverse soil conditions, unfavourable weather or unanticipated construction constraints at the work site may arise during the course of project execution. As these circumstances may require additional work which has not been factored into the contract value, they may lead to cost overruns which may erode our profit margin for the project. There is no assurance that our actual costs incurred will not exceed the estimated costs, due to under-estimation of costs, excessive wastage, inefficiency, damage or unforeseen additional costs incurred during the course of the contract. Any under-estimation of costs, delay or other circumstances resulting in cost overruns in a contract may adversely affect our profitability.
33
RISK FACTORS
Changes in government legislation, regulations or policies which affect the construction industry or the property market in Singapore may adversely affect our business operations and financial performance As the bulk of our revenue is from our design and build business in Singapore, any changes in government legislation, regulations or policies affecting the construction industry or the property market in Singapore could adversely affect our business operations and may have a negative effect on the demand for construction services and in turn will affect our business. The compliance with such new government legislation, regulations or policies may also increase our costs, and any significant increase in such compliance costs may adversely affect our results of operations. To promote a stable and sustainable property market, the Singapore government monitors the property market closely and adopts measures as and when it deems necessary. Since September 2009, the Singapore government has implemented several rounds of property curbs and cooling measures to keep the buoyancy of the property market in check. Such measures included, inter alia , the lowering of loan-to-value limits, the increase in minimum cash downpayment, the imposition of additional buyers stamp duty and the stipulation of a maximum loan tenure. There is no assurance that any changes in government legislation, regulations and policies will not have an adverse effect on our financial performance. In the event that the Singapore government introduces new or more stringent measures which impact the overall performance of Singapores property market, our operations, profitability and financial performance may be adversely affected. Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Group Licences, Permits, Approvals, Certifications and Government Regulations of this Offer Document for further details. We are subject to the non-renewal, non-granting or suspension of our licences or permits Our business activities in Singapore are regulated by the BCA and other regulatory authorities. The BCA and other regulatory authorities determine the criteria that must be met before they grant or renew licences and permits which are essential for our business and operations. Please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Group Licences, Permits, Approvals, Certifications and Government Regulations of this Offer Document for more information on the list of regulations and licences that are required by our Group. The renewal of our permits and licences is subject to compliance with the relevant regulations. There is no assurance that our licences or permits will be renewed upon expiry. In addition, any changes to the existing legislation and regulations may require us to apply for new licences and permits, and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain these new licences and permits. Failure to renew, obtain or the withdrawal of such licences and permits may have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance. We may be adversely affected by disputes with our customers and sub-contractors Claims are frequently made by and against customers and sub-contractors in the construction industry due to various reasons such as delays, non-payment, defective workmanship and non-compliance with specifications. Generally, during the course of a project, a customer may also instruct us to perform works which are not included in the original scope of works and/or exclude works from the original scope of works. These are known as variation orders. In order to avoid delays in the completion of the 34
RISK FACTORS
project, we may perform the variation orders before the value of such variation works are finalised, and the final value of the variation order is subject to negotiation after the completion of the variation works. In such an event, there is a risk that we may not be able to recover the full value that we claim for the variation orders due to disagreement in respect of the claim amounts. Typically, we are also required to adhere to project schedules as agreed in the contracts with our customers. In the event that we fail to meet project deadlines, we could be required to pay penalties or liquidated damages to the affected customers. There is no assurance that we will not face claims for penalties or liquidated damages, which may result in a negative impact on our business reputation, operations and financial position. It is also common for our customers to withhold a certain percentage of the contract value as retention monies, which is typically 5% of the contract value, to cover any defects which may surface during the defects liability period. The defects liability period applicable to us is generally up to 12 months. During this period, we are required to rectify defects free of charge. If we are required to rectify defects during the defects liability period which result in substantial additional costs being borne by us, the profitability of the particular project will be reduced. In the event that our customers suffer loss and damage due to the defects, they may claim against us thereby adversely affecting our financial performance. If a customer withholds the retention monies beyond the defects liability period instead of refunding to us, we may have to lodge a claim for the outstanding retention monies, after initial attempts to collect them prove unsuccessful. In addition, we may not be able to recover the retention monies if our customers go into liquidation or judicial management before such retention monies are due and payable to us. Any disputes on progress payments, variation orders, retention monies, defective workmanship, non-compliance with specifications or otherwise relating to our projects may have an adverse impact on our financial performance and cash flow. We may face liquidity and non-payment risks For all projects on which we are engaged, any indebtedness for amounts payable by our customer to us is unsecured and our customer is not required to provide security or obtain any construction loans or provide to us any evidence of their ability to make good the full value of the construction, as and when they fall due, prior to engaging us. Accordingly, we can only rely on the credit-worthiness of our customer to make payments as and when they fall due, and as such, we may not be paid by our customers notwithstanding the completion of the construction. Furthermore, some of our customers may default on their payments to us, which would result in us having to make allowances for doubtful debts, or to incur write-offs. This may have an adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and financial performance. For more details, please refer to the section entitled General Information on Our Group Credit Policy of this Offer Document. We are exposed to the performance and quality of our sub-contracted works We engage sub-contractors to provide various services for our projects. Sub-contracting costs accounted for approximately 100.0%, 94.7%, 87.5% and 96.6% of our total cost of works in FY2010, FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013 respectively. We select our sub-contractors based on, inter alia , their track record, pricing and ability to meet our quality and safety requirements and the stipulated timelines. Where we have sub-contracted such works, we are exposed to the timely 35
RISK FACTORS
delivery and the quality required of the works sub-contracted to our sub-contractors. We cannot ensure that the services rendered by our sub-contractors will be satisfactory or that they will continue to meet our requirements for quality and safety. In the event that the sub-contractor is unable to perform the works, we, being the main contractors, will be exposed to the ultimate contract performance of the scope of sub-contracted works. Furthermore, the sub-contractor may experience financial or other difficulties that may affect their ability to carry out the work for which they were contracted, thus delaying the completion of, or failing to complete, our projects, resulting in additional costs to us or exposing us to the risk of liquidated damages. Our profitability will also be adversely affected if we are unable to recover the additional costs from the non-performing sub-contractor or if we are unable to engage other sub-contractors to perform the works at the price allocated to the original sub-contractor. We may be affected by accidents at our work sites Accidents or mishaps may occur at our work sites even though we have put in place appropriate safety measures. Such accidents or mishaps may severely disrupt our operations and lead to a delay in the completion of a project. In the event of such a delay, we could be liable for liquidated damages under the construction contract with our customers, resulting in an adverse and material effect on our financial performance. Further, we may be subject to personal injury claims from workers or other persons involved in such accidents or mishaps suffered by them, and any significant claims which are not covered by our insurance policies or recovered from the sub-contractor who had employed the relevant worker may materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial performance. We are liable for delays in the completion of projects The contracts that we enter into with our customers typically include a provision for the payment by us of pre-determined liquidated damages to our customers in the event the project is completed after the stipulated date of completion stated in the contract arising from any delay caused by us. Delays in a project could occur from time to time due to factors such as adverse weather conditions, shortages of labour, equipment and construction materials, the occurrence of natural disasters, labour disputes, disputes with sub-contractors, industrial accidents, work stoppages arising from accidents or mishaps at the work site or delays in the delivery of building materials by suppliers to our sub-contractors. In the event of any delay in the completion of a project due to factors within our control, we could be liable to pay liquidated damages under the contract and incur additional overheads that will adversely affect our earnings and profit margin, thereby materially and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations. Although we have never been made liable to pay any liquidated damages, there is no assurance that there will not be any delays in our existing and future projects resulting in the payment of liquidated damages that may have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate We have taken up insurance policies for risks such as contractors all risk and work injury compensation. However, no insurance can compensate for all potential losses and there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate or that our insurers will pay a particular claim. We do not have keyman insurance coverage for our key personnel, including Danny Siaw and Tan Chew Joo. There are also certain types of risks that are not covered by our insurance policies because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable, including acts of war and acts of terrorism. In addition, we are not insured against business disruption. If
36
RISK FACTORS
such events were to occur, we may have to bear the costs of any uninsured risk or uninsured amount, which can have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. We are subject to general safety regulations imposed by the MOM The MOM places considerable emphasis on inculcating a culture of safety and health in all workplaces. The Workplace Safety and Health Act requires us to take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety and health of workers at our work sites. In the event that our work sites contravene the requisite safety and health standards imposed by the regulatory authorities, we could be fined by the regulatory authorities and/or our work sites may be issued with partial or full stop work orders. The issuance of such stop work orders may severely disrupt our operations and lead to a delay in the completion of projects. These circumstances may generate negative publicity and adversely affect our market reputation as well as cause a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial performance. Other than issuing stop work orders, the MOM may also take other actions against us including, inter alia , issuing demerit points, issuing charges/summons or warning letters, in the event of occurrence of any accident and/or mishap at our work sites or the contravention of the Workplace Safety and Health Act and non-compliance with other laws and regulations. Any enforcement actions taken against our Group will depend on the severity of each situation and may affect our business, financial condition and operating results accordingly. On 18 March 2013, our subsidiary, Figtree Projects, was issued with a partial stop work order by the MOM as a result of a collapsed formwork structure constructed by one of its sub-contractors at the work site for our project at 9 Jurong West Street 22. The stop work order was in effect from 13 March 2013 and was lifted on 8 April 2013, when all the safety concerns highlighted by the MOM in the partial stop work order were rectified. The MOM had also issued five demerit points to Figtree Projects in relation to this matter, and we have not received any further demerit points from the MOM since then. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no existing stop work order. Please see the section entitled General Information on our Group Licences, Permits, Approvals, Certifications and Government Regulations of this Offer Document for more information. We may be involved in legal and other proceedings arising from our operations from time to time We may be involved from time to time in disputes pertaining to, inter alia , construction, remuneration and compensation issues with various parties in the construction industry. These disputes may lead to legal and other proceedings, and may cause us to suffer additional costs and delays. Any such delays may affect our business and financial performance.
37
RISK FACTORS
We are subject to competition and may not be able to maintain our competitiveness in the design and build industry and the property development industry The design and build industry is competitive and we face competition from existing design and build companies as well as new entrants to the design and build industry. Some of these competitors may have larger financial resources that enable them to compete more effectively than us. We may have to offer more competitive prices or try to offer higher quality services. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing and future competitors and that we will be able to adapt to new trends and conditions. In the event that we are unable to compete successfully against our competitors and to adapt to market conditions, our business, financial position and performance may be adversely affected. In general, the property development industry is intensely competitive and highly fragmented. We compete with various property developers. Competition between property developers may result in, among other things, increased costs of the acquisition of land for development, oversupply of properties in countries or regions where we compete in, a decrease in property prices, a slow-down in the rate at which new property developments will be approved and/or reviewed by the relevant government authorities, an increase in construction costs and difficulty in obtaining high quality contractors and qualified employees. Any such consequences may adversely affect our business, financial performance and financial position. In addition, if we cannot respond to changes in market conditions more swiftly or effectively than our competitors, our ability to generate revenue, our financial condition and our financial performance will be adversely affected. Many of our competitors are more established than we are and have significantly greater brand recognition, financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we presently possess. We intend to create greater awareness for our brand name so that we can successfully compete with our competitors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete effectively or successfully with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressure we face will not harm our business. Our Group does not have any proven track record and operating history in the property development business Our Group does not have a proven track record in carrying out the property development business. There is no assurance that the property development business will be commercially successful and that our Group will be able to derive sufficient revenue to offset the capital and start-up costs as well as operating costs arising from the property development business. The property development business may require high capital commitments and may expose our Group to unforeseen liabilities or risks associated with its entry into new markets or new businesses. Our Groups ability to successfully undertake and grow the property development business is dependent upon its ability to adapt its existing knowledge and expertise and to understand and navigate the property development business. There is no assurance that our Groups existing experience and expertise will be sufficient for the property development business, or that our Group will be able to hire employees with the relevant experience and knowledge. The property development business also involves business risks including the financial costs of setting up new operations, capital investment and maintaining working capital requirements. If our Group does not derive sufficient revenue from or does not manage the costs of the property development business effectively, the overall financial position and profitability of our Group may be affected.
38
RISK FACTORS
We are dependent on our success in identifying and acquiring development sites The property development arm of our business is dependent on our ability to identify and acquire land sites appropriate for our property development projects. We face competition for new land sites from other property developers and there is no assurance that suitable sites will always be available to us. In addition, other property developers with whom we compete may have greater resources (financial or otherwise) than us to acquire new land sites. In the event that we are unable to identify and purchase a sufficient number of development sites and are consequently unable to undertake property development projects, the financial performance and profitability of our Group may be affected. We depend on our ability to identify and complete profitable property development projects The performance of the property development arm of our business is dependent on our ability to identify profitable property development projects and following such identification, to successfully complete such projects. The viability and profitability of our property development projects may be undermined by changes in the general economic climate, including changes in interest rates, construction costs, land costs and property prices in the jurisdictions in which such projects are being undertaken. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will always be successful in identifying profitable property development projects or completing such property development projects profitably. In addition, the project launch dates and completion dates of our proposed property development projects will be made on a best estimate basis and unforeseen delays in the launch and completion of these projects will have an adverse effect on our profitability for the financial years during which these projects are to be launched or completed. We may experience fluctuations in revenue from our property development business Revenue from our property development business will be recognised based on the completion of construction method, whereby all income from a property development project is booked only after receipt of TOP. Revenue derived from our property development business may therefore fluctuate on a year-to-year basis depending on the number of project completions in a financial year. We may be subject to limitations of property valuations We believe that any valuation of properties under our property development projects in future will be based on certain assumptions that are subjective. Unanticipated changes in relation to particular properties, or changes in general or local economic or regulatory conditions or other relevant factors could affect such valuations and the returns that we can realise from these properties. The actual values that we derive from these properties may materially differ from the values attributed to them in the relevant valuation reports. Our business will be affected by any adverse impact on our reputation Over the years, we have established a reputation in the design and build industry. We believe our reputation has fostered customer loyalty. Hence, if there are any major lapses in our customer service or adverse publicity on our Group due to circumstances beyond our control, our reputation will be materially and adversely affected and our customers may lose confidence in our services. This will adversely affect our business and hence our financial performance.
39
RISK FACTORS
We are dependent on certain key personnel for our continued success We believe our success to-date has been largely attributable to the contributions and expertise of our Executive Directors, Danny Siaw and Tan Chew Joo, as well as our Executive Officers, many of whom have extensive experience in the design and build industry. Danny Siaw and Tan Chew Joo have, in aggregate, more than 50 years of experience in the design and build industry. Our continued success will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to retain the services of our Executive Directors and our Executive Officers. The loss of the services of our Executive Directors or any of our Executive Officers without suitable and timely replacement, or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel may adversely affect our operations and hence our financial performance. Our failure to attract and retain skilled personnel could materially affect our operations and business Our business requires highly skilled personnel such as project managers, site managers and site engineers. Skilled personnel with the appropriate experience in our industries are limited and competition for the employment of such personnel is intense. There is no assurance that we will be able to attract the necessary skilled personnel to work in the regions which we operate or that we will be able to retain the skilled personnel whom we have trained at our cost or whether suitable and timely replacements can be found for skilled personnel who leave us. If we are unable to continue to attract and retain skilled employees, it could materially affect the quality and timelines of our services and our ability to compete effectively and to grow our business. Our Group is exposed to risks associated with acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances Depending on available opportunities, feasibility and market conditions, our Groups involvement in the property development business may involve acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances with third parties in Singapore as well as in overseas markets, including the PRC. Participation in joint ventures, strategic alliances, acquisitions or other investment opportunities involves numerous risks, including the possible diversion of management attention from existing business operations and loss of capital or other investments deployed in such joint ventures, strategic alliances, acquisitions or opportunities. In such events, our Groups financial performance may be adversely affected. If there are disagreements between us and such joint venture partners regarding the business and operations of the joint ventures, we cannot assure you that we will be able to resolve them in a manner that will be in our best interests. In addition, such joint venture partners may (i) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours; (ii) take actions contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives; (iii) be unable or unwilling to fulfil their obligations; (iv) have financial difficulties; or (v) have disputes with us as to the scope of their responsibilities and obligations. Any of these and other factors may materially and adversely affect the performance of our joint ventures, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our financial condition and financial performance.

RISK FACTORS
We are subject to financing risks and may not have adequate capital resources to finance business activities such as land acquisitions or property developments Property development is capital intensive. The availability of adequate capital resources is crucial to our ability to acquire land and to complete our property development projects according to plan. We intend to finance our first property development project through internal funding and part of the proceeds from the Placement. However, we may in the future also look to external sources of funds, which comprise of bank borrowings and other debt and equity financing. As revenue from our property development business is recognised based on the completion of construction method, our property development business may result in periods where we experience net negative operating cash flows that have to be financed through our existing cash and bank balances and external sources of funds, which represents greater reliance on such sources of funds during these periods. We cannot assure you that we will have adequate capital resources available to finance our business activities such as land acquisitions or property developments. This may arise from inadequacy of: internal funds such as low cash levels and/or that we are unable to achieve sufficient pre-sale in order to fund our property developments; and/or external sources of funds.
Our ability to arrange adequate external financing (if necessary) on terms that will allow us a commercially acceptable return depends on a number of factors that are beyond our control, including general economic and political conditions, the terms on which financial institutions are willing to extend credit to us and the availability of other sources of debt or equity financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain external financing support in the future on acceptable terms, or any financing support at all. In such events, we may not be able to finance our business activities and our cash flow, and as such our financial performance and financial position may be adversely affected. In addition, we may require additional borrowings to fund our future development projects. The incurrence of additional debt will increase our interest payments required to service our debt obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to our Shareholders. We may not be able to undertake future property development projects on a guaranteed sale basis Property development projects, in general, may be undertaken on a guaranteed sale basis. There is however no assurance our future property development projects will be undertaken on such basis. Where there is no entity which has undertaken to purchase future property development projects at completion, our Group may be exposed to fluctuations in the market demand for such property development projects. Market demand may be adversely affected due to, inter alia , economic, political, social, regulatory or diplomatic developments in or affecting the property sector generally. In cases where we continue to hold unsold property for sale post-completion, such property may be relatively illiquid, which will limit our ability to realise cash from unsold units on short notice. Such illiquidity may also have a negative effect on the prices of unsold units in the event that we are required to sell the unsold properties urgently, and limits our ability to vary our portfolio of 41
RISK FACTORS
property held for sale in response to changes in economic, political, social or regulatory conditions in a timely manner. In such an event, our cash flow and financial performance will be adversely affected. We may be subject in the future to risks in relation to interest rate movements Save for a 10-year term loan of approximately S$2.12 million which we have obtained from DBS Bank Ltd. for the purpose of partially financing the purchase of the New Office and which we intend to utilise a portion of the gross proceeds raised from the Placement to repay the amount drawn down and owing to DBS Bank Ltd., we do not have any external financing and have no debts. However, if we undertake debt financing in the future, we may face risks in relation to interest rate movements in particular as a result of the debts undertaken by us to finance our property developments. Changes in interest rates will affect our interest income and interest expense from short-term deposits and other interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. This could in turn have a material and adverse effect on our financial performance. Furthermore, an increase in interest rates would also adversely affect the willingness and ability of prospective customers to purchase our properties and our ability to raise and service long-term debt. GENERAL RISKS AND RISKS RELATING TO OUR OVERSEAS OPERATIONS We may be affected by any changes in the general economic, regulatory, political and social conditions and developments globally and in Singapore Our business may be materially and adversely affected by local and global developments in relation to inflation, price of raw materials, bank interest rates, government policies and regulations and other conditions which may impact economic, regulatory, political and social stability globally and in Singapore. We have no control over such conditions and developments and there is no assurance that such conditions and developments will not occur and adversely affect our business operations. Our business is particularly susceptible to the general economic conditions in Singapore. Factors such as GDP growth, disposable income and unemployment rates, will affect the demand for construction activities which may indirectly affect our business operations. Given the uncertainties of the future economic outlook, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain or continue the rapid growth of our business, or that we will be able to react promptly to any change in economic conditions. In the event that we fail to react promptly to the changing economic conditions, our performance and profitability could be adversely affected. There is also no assurance that the factors which have contributed to the success of our Group during the past few years will continue to occur in the future. Our business performance, future plans and operations may be adversely affected if these conditions deteriorate in the future. Interpretation of PRC laws and regulations involves uncertainty, further, changes in tax laws, regulations, policies, concessions and treatment may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations Our operations in the PRC are subject to the laws and regulations promulgated by the PRC government. The PRC legal system is a codified legal system made up of the PRC constitution, written laws, regulations, circulars, directives and other government orders. The PRC government
42
RISK FACTORS
is still in the process of developing its legal system so as to meet the needs of investors and to encourage foreign investment. Generally, the PRC economy is developing at a faster pace than its legal system. Therefore, some degree of uncertainty exists in connection with whether existing laws and regulations will apply to certain events or circumstances, and if so, the manner of such application. In particular, unlike common law jurisdictions like Singapore, decided cases do not form part of the legal structure of the PRC and thus have no binding effect. The administration of the PRC laws and regulations may be subject to a certain degree of discretion by the executive authorities. This has resulted in the outcome of dispute resolutions not being as consistent or predictable compared to more developed jurisdictions. In addition, it may be difficult to obtain a swift and equitable enforcement of laws in the PRC, or the enforcement of judgments by a court of another jurisdiction. Furthermore, in line with its transformation from a centrally planned economy to a free market-oriented economy, the PRC government is still in the process of developing a comprehensive set of laws and regulations. As the legal system in the PRC is still evolving, laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same may be subject to change. Currently, we are taxed in compliance with relevant PRC laws and regulations. If there is a change in the tax laws, regulations, policies, concessions and treatment (including any retrospective change of the basis or to the agreement reached with the local government as aforesaid), our taxation expenses may be affected adversely, resulting in a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and financial performance. There is a lack of readily available, reliable and updated information on property market conditions in the PRC generally We are subject to property market conditions in the PRC generally and in particular, municipal cities and provinces where our projects may be located. Currently, reliable and up-to-date information is generally not readily available in the PRC and in the relevant municipal cities and provinces on the amount and nature of property development and investment activities, the demand for such development, the supply of new properties being developed or the availability of land and buildings suitable for development and investment. Consequently, our investment and business decisions may not, currently or in the future, be based on accurate, complete and timely information. Inaccurate information may adversely affect our business decisions, which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. We may be affected by terrorist attacks, natural disasters, outbreaks of communicable diseases and other events beyond our control Terrorist attacks such as those that occurred in the United States and Indonesia, natural disasters and other events beyond our control in the markets in which we operate may lead to uncertainty in the economic outlook of these markets leading to an economic downturn. This will in turn have an adverse impact on the construction industry and our business. In addition, although such acts have not in the past targeted our assets or those of our customers, there can be no assurance that they will not do so in the future. Our current insurance polices do not cover terrorist attacks. The consequences of any such terrorist attacks, natural disasters or other events beyond our control are unpredictable, and we are not able to foresee events of such nature, which could cause interruptions to parts of our businesses and have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial position. 43
RISK FACTORS
An outbreak of SARS, avian influenza, Influenza A (H1N1) and/or other communicable diseases, if uncontrolled, could affect our operations, as well as the operations of our customers and sub-contractors. Any occurrence of a pandemic, an epidemic or outbreak of other disease may have an adverse effect on our business operations including our ability to travel and deploy personnel for projects. Further, in the event that any of our employees is infected or suspected to be infected with SARS, avian influenza, Influenza A (H1N1) and/or other communicable diseases, we may be required to quarantine some of our employees and shut down part of our operations to prevent the spread of the disease. This would result in delays in the completion of our projects. Failure to meet our customers expectations could damage our reputation, and may, as a result, lead to loss of business and affect our ability to attract new business. An outbreak of SARS, avian influenza, Influenza A (H1N1) and/or other communicable diseases could therefore have an adverse impact on our business and operations. We operate in countries or may expand into other countries where we would be subject to local legal and regulatory conditions and may be affected by the political, economic and social conditions in these countries We have a business presence or carry out operations in Malaysia and the PRC. Changes in the social, political and economic conditions in the PRC could affect our business. The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over the PRC economy in general, which, inter alia , affects the property sector in the PRC. Any changes in the social, political and economic policies of the PRC government may lead to changes in the laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same, as well as changes in the foreign exchange regulations, taxation and land ownership and development restrictions, which may in turn adversely affect our business and financial performance. Although we believe these reforms will have a positive effect on our overall and long-term development, we cannot predict whether changes in PRCs social, political and economic conditions, laws, regulations and policies will have any adverse effect on our current or future business, financial performance or financial condition. From time to time, the PRC government adjusts its monetary and economic policies to prevent and curtail the overheating of the national and provincial economies, which may affect the property markets that we operate in. Any action by the PRC government concerning the economy or the property sector in particular could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and financial performance. Changes in national and regional economic conditions, as well as local economic conditions, may result in more caution on the part of property purchasers and consequently may result in fewer property purchases. These economic uncertainties involve, inter alia , conditions of supply and demand in local markets and changes in consumer confidence and income, employment levels, and government regulations. These risks and uncertainties could periodically have an adverse effect on consumer demand for and the pricing of our properties, which could cause our revenue to decline. In addition, property developers are subject to various risks, many of them outside the control of the property developers including competitive overbuilding, availability and cost of land, materials and labour, adverse weather conditions which can cause delays in construction schedules, cost overruns, changes in government regulations, and increases in property taxes and other local government fees. A reduction in our revenues could, in turn, negatively affect the market price of our Shares. We are subject to the applicable laws, regulations and guidelines in the countries and jurisdictions in which we have a business presence or carry out operations, particularly in relation to entry and employment requirements and restrictions in respect of our employees and workers. If we fail to comply with such laws, regulations and guidelines, we may be subject to penalties for such 44
RISK FACTORS
breaches, including fines or restrictions on our ability to carry on business or operate in such countries or jurisdictions. In addition, the relevant employees in breach of such laws, regulations and/or guidelines may also be subject to penalties such as fines, imprisonment or deportation. We may also expand into other countries in which we presently do not have a business presence. Our business and operations are subject to the legal and regulatory framework in these countries. Laws and regulations governing business entities in these countries may change and are often subject to a number of possibly conflicting interpretations, both by business entities and by the courts. Our business, financial condition, profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in and uncertainty surrounding governmental policies, in particular with respect to business laws and regulations, licences and permits, taxation, inflation, interest rates, currency fluctuations, price and wage controls, exchange control regulations, labour laws and expropriation. Any changes in economic, political, legal and regulatory conditions or policies in these countries could adversely affect the results of our operations and in turn, the market price of our Shares. We are exposed to foreign exchange risks As our reporting currency is in S$, the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries will need to be translated to S$ for consolidation purposes. As such, any material fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will result in translation gains or losses on consolidation. Any such translation gains or losses will be recorded as translation reserves or deficits as part of our Shareholders equity. More information about our foreign exchange exposure is set out in the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position Foreign Exchange Management in this Offer Document. Foreign exchange controls may limit our ability to utilise our cash effectively and affect our ability to receive dividends and other payments from our foreign subsidiaries We have a business presence or carry out operations in Malaysia and the PRC. Save for FY2010 in which we do not have business presence or carry out operations overseas, our foreign subsidiaries accounted in aggregate for approximately 1.3%, 0.6% and 0.1% of our Groups total revenue in FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013 respectively. Our foreign subsidiaries are subject to the rules and regulations on currency conversion in the countries they operate in. Please refer to the section entitled Exchange Controls in this Offer Document for more details on the foreign exchange controls applicable to our foreign subsidiaries. The ability of our foreign subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us may be restricted by foreign exchange control restrictions. We also cannot assure you that the relevant regulations will not be amended to the disadvantage of our Group or Shareholders and that the ability of our foreign subsidiaries to distribute dividends and other payments to us will not be adversely affected as a result. We may not be able to successfully implement our future plans We plan to expand our Group in accordance with our future plans as set out in the section entitled General Information on our Group Business Strategies and Future Plans of this Offer Document. These future plans will require substantial capital expenditure and financial resources and will involve numerous risks, including but not limited to, the incurrence of working capital requirements and exposure of our business to unforeseen liabilities and risks associated with entering new markets or new businesses which we have no experience in. There is no assurance that these plans will generate revenue commensurable with our investment costs. If we fail to generate a sufficient level of revenue or if we fail to manage our costs efficiently, we will not be able to recover our investment and our future financial performance and financial position may be adversely affected. 45
RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATING TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES Investment in shares quoted on Catalist involves a higher degree of risk and can be less liquid than shares quoted on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST An application has been made for our Shares to be listed for quotation on Catalist, a listing platform designed primarily for fast-growing and emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached as compared to larger or more established companies listed on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST. An investment in shares quoted on Catalist may carry a higher risk than an investment in shares quoted on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST. Catalist was formed in December 2007 and the future success and liquidity in the market of our Shares cannot be guaranteed. There is no prior market for our Shares and the Placement may not result in an active or liquid market for our Shares Prior to the Listing, there has been no public market for our Shares. Although we have applied to the SGX-ST for the dealing and quotation of our Shares on Catalist, there is no assurance that an active trading market for our Shares will develop or, if developed, will be sustained. There is also no assurance that the market price for our Shares will not decline below the Placement Price. The Placement Price was determined after consultation between our Company and the Manager, Sponsor and Placement Agent after taking into consideration, inter alia , market conditions and estimated market demand for our Shares. The Placement Price may not be indicative of the market price for our Shares after the completion of the Placement. Investors may not be able to sell their Shares at or above the Placement Price. The volatility in the trading price of our Shares may be caused by factors beyond our control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to our financial results. Our share price may be volatile in future which could result in substantial losses for investors purchasing Shares pursuant to the Placement The market price of our Shares may fluctuate significantly and rapidly as a result of, inter alia , the following factors, some of which are beyond our control: Changes in general economic and stock market conditions; Changes in our operating results; Perceived prospects and future plans for our business and the general outlook of our industry; Changes in securities recommendations; analysts estimates of our financial performance and
Differences between our actual financial operating results and those expected by investors and securities analysts; Announcements by our competitors or ourselves of gain or loss of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; Our involvement in litigations; and Addition or loss of key personnel. 46
RISK FACTORS
Future sale or issuance of Shares could adversely affect our Share price Any future sale, availability or issuance of a large number of our Shares in the public market can have downward pressure on our Share price. The sale of a significant amount of Shares in the market after the Placement, or the perception that such sales may occur could materially and adversely affect the market price of our Shares. These factors could also affect our ability to issue additional equity securities in future. Save as otherwise described in the section entitled Shareholders Moratorium of this Offer Document, there are no restrictions on the ability of our Shareholders to sell their Shares either on the SGX-ST or otherwise. Negative publicity which includes those relating to any of our Directors, Executive Officers or Substantial Shareholders may adversely affect our Share price Negative publicity or announcement relating to any of our Directors, Executives Officers or Substantial Shareholders may adversely affect the market perception or the share performance of our Company, whether or not it is justified. Some examples of these include unsuccessful attempts at joint ventures, acquisitions or takeovers, or involvement in insolvency proceedings. We may require additional funding for our growth plans, and such funding may result in a dilution of Shareholders investments We have estimated our funding requirements in order to implement our growth plans as set out in the section entitled General Information on our Group Business Strategies and Future Plans of this Offer Document. In the event that the costs of implementing such plans should exceed these estimates significantly or that we come across opportunities to grow through expansion plans which cannot be predicted at this juncture, and our funds generated from our operations prove insufficient for such purposes, we may need to raise additional funds to meet these funding requirements. These additional funds may be raised by issuing equity or debt securities or by borrowing from banks or from other resources. We cannot ensure that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we fail to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, we will not be able to implement such plans fully. Such financing, even if obtained, may be accompanied by conditions that limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek lenders consent for payment of dividends, or restrict our freedom to operate our business by requiring lenders consent for certain corporate actions. Further, in the event that we raise additional funds by way of a limited placement or by a rights offering or through the issuance of new Shares to new and/or existing shareholders after the Placement, they may be priced at a discount to the then prevailing market price of our Shares trading on the SGX-ST, or if any Shareholder is unable or unwilling to participate in such additional round of fund raising, in which case, their Shareholders equity interest may be diluted. If we fail to utilise the new equity to generate a commensurate increase in earnings, our earnings per Share will be diluted, and this could cause a decline in our Share price. Investors in our Shares would face immediate and substantial dilution in the NTA per Share and may experience future dilution The Placement Price of our Placement Shares is substantially higher than our Groups NTA per Share of 6.88 cents based on the post-Placement share capital and after adjusting for the estimated net proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares. If we were liquidated immediately
47
RISK FACTORS
following this Placement, each investor subscribing to this Placement would receive less than the price they paid for their Shares. Please refer to the section entitled Dilution of this Offer Document for more information. In addition, we may issue Option Shares under our Figtree Employee Share Option Scheme. To the extent that such Option Shares are issued, there may be further dilution to investors participating in the Placement. Please refer to the sections entitled The Figtree Employee Share Option Scheme and Appendix E Rules of the Figtree Employee Share Option Scheme of this Offer Document for more information. Control by our Shareholders of our enlarged share capital after the Placement may limit your ability to influence the outcome of decisions requiring the approval of Shareholders After the completion of the Placement, our Substantial Shareholders, Danny Siaw, Tan Chew Joo, Fung Tze Ping, Teoh Hoon Song, Robert Oei and Singapore Enterprises will hold in aggregate direct interest of approximately 76.3% of our post-Placement share capital. As a result, these Substantial Shareholders will be able to significantly influence our corporate actions such as mergers or takeover attempts in a manner which may not be in line with the interests of our public Shareholders. They will also have veto power in relation to any shareholder action or approval requiring a majority vote except in situations where they are required by the rules of the Listing Manual, the SGX-ST or undertakings given by them (as detailed in the section entitled Interested Person Transactions of this Offer Document) to abstain from voting. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our Group which may not benefit our Shareholders. We may not be able to pay dividends in the future Our ability to declare dividends to our Shareholders in the future will be contingent on our future financial performance and distributable reserves of our Company. This is in turn dependent on our ability to implement our future plans, and on regulatory, competitive, technical and other factors, general economic conditions, demand for and selling prices of our services and other factors exclusive to the design and build industry. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and hence there is no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends to our Shareholders after the completion of the Placement. Further, in the event that we are required to enter into any loan arrangements with any financial institutions, covenants in the loan agreements may also limit when and how much dividends we can declare and pay out. Investors may not be able to participate in future issues of our Shares In the event that we issue new Shares, we will be under no obligation to offer those Shares to our existing Shareholders at the time of issue, except where we elect to conduct a rights issue. If we offer to our Shareholders rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature or other equity issues, we will have the discretion and be subject to the relevant laws, rules and regulations as to the procedures to be followed in making such rights offering available to our existing Shareholders or in disposing of such rights for the benefit of such Shareholders and making the net proceeds available to them. We may choose not to offer the rights or other equity issues to our Shareholders or investors having an address outside Singapore, hence overseas Shareholders or investors may be unable to participate in future offerings of our Shares and may experience dilution of their interests in our Company.

DILUTION
Dilution is the amount by which the Placement Price paid by the subscribers of our Shares in this Placement exceeds our NTA per Share of our Group immediately after the Placement. Our NTA per Share as at 30 June 2013 before adjusting for the estimated net proceeds due to our Company from the Placement and based on the pre-Placement issued and paid-up share capital of 223,000,000 Shares was 4.10 cents per Share. Pursuant to the Placement in respect of 54,546,000 Placement Shares at the Placement Price, our NTA per Share as at 30 June 2013 after adjusting for the estimated net proceeds due to our Company from the Placement and based on the post-Placement issued and paid-up share capital of 277,546,000 Shares would have been 6.88 cents. This represents an immediate increase in NTA per Share of 2.78 cents to our existing Shareholders and an immediate dilution in NTA per Share of 15.12 cents or approximately 68.73% to our new public investors. The following table illustrates the dilution per Share as at 30 June 2013: Cents Placement Price for each Share NTA per Share based on the pre-Placement share capital of 223,000,000 Shares Increase in NTA per Share attributable to existing Shareholders NTA per Share after the Placement Dilution in NTA per Share to new public investors Dilution in NTA per Share to new public investors (%) 22.00 4.10 2.78 6.88 15.12 68.73

Tender and needs brief Design development Procurement Construction, completion and handover
Tender and needs brief We participate in design and build projects mainly through invited tenders. There are also instances in which customers approach us independently for proposals in respect of design and construction works required.
87
(ii)
(iii) quantify the tender cost estimate for the entire project, taking into account quotes obtained from our sub-contractors and suppliers for work required to be undertaken by them. Sufficient quotes will be called from a list of suppliers and sub-contractors whom we have worked with and are competitive in their quality, pricing and timely completion; and (iv) consider the complexity and construction time frame of the project, the condition of the vicinity of the project site and the applicable market conditions in determining the tender price. Where our prospective customer has provided a concept design in the tender brief, our design team may provide an alternative design solution in addition to developing our prospective customers concept design. Our alternative design solution will typically be a more cost and time efficient design solution which will meet our prospective customers requirements. The entire process for the above would typically take about three to four weeks depending on the size of project and the form of contract. If our submitted tender terms are amongst the most favourable, we may then be required to attend tender interviews to explain our pricing and materials offered, methods of construction and to respond to any other queries relating to the tender. There may be negotiations to finalise the price and terms of the contract before the contract is awarded. Notification of a successful tender will typically take place within one to two months after the close of the tender. Where we are independently approached for a design and build proposal, we will meet with our prospective customer to understand their requirements and budget before we prepare the design and cost proposal. The entire process would typically take about two to four weeks depending on the requirements of the project. After we are awarded the contract, we will form a project team and our tender team will hand over the project to our project team via a project handover meeting, during which our project team will be briefed on, inter alia , the scope of works required, specific requirements of the project such as the construction phases, contract period and site constraints, as well as the budgeted project costs.

The substantial increase in our trade receivables turnover days from two days in FY2010 to 73 days in FY2011 was due to an increase in trade receivables arising from the increased activities of our subsidiary, Figtree Projects in FY2011. The high trade receivables turnover days in FY2011 was due to a delay in project funding by one of the customers of Figtree Projects. The outstanding debts incurred in FY2011 were subsequently repaid in FY2012, which resulted in a decrease in our trade receivables turnover days. Credit terms granted by our sub-contractors Payment terms granted by our sub-contractors vary depending on, inter alia , our relationship with our sub-contractors as well as the size of the projects. Typical credit terms granted by our sub-contractors is 30 days. Our trade payables turnover days for FY2010, FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013 are as follows: FY2010 Trade payables turnover days (1)

The high trade payables turnover days of 82 days in FY2011 was in line with the high trade receivables turnover days in FY2011. Delay in payment from one of the customers of Figtree Projects resulted in corresponding delay in payment to our sub-contractors. The decrease in trade payables turnover days from 82 days in FY2011 to 23 days in FY2012 was due to better cash management of our Group following the completion of some projects. The decrease in trade payables turnover days from 23 days in FY2012 to three days in HY2013 was mainly due to the implementation of a new policy by our Group to make payment shortly after progress claims are certified. Invoices will only be raised by the sub-contractors and paid off when the progress claims are certified, hence resulting in a low trade payables turnover days. MARKETING AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Our marketing and business development approach is based on fostering long-term and strong relationships with our customers with a focus on customer retention. We participate in construction projects mainly through invited tenders. There are also instances in which customers approach us independently for proposals in respect of design and construction works required. In the case of invited tenders, invitations are made by customers or consultants, whom we may have dealt with previously or who have been referred to us by other customers or consultants who had worked with us previously. As we rely extensively on our business networks, we conduct informal business development sessions with our customers from existing and past projects in order to enhance our existing relationships and source for business opportunities. Our overall marketing and business development activities are spearheaded by our Groups Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Danny Siaw, who is supported by our Executive Officers. Capitalising on our extensive experience in project works as well as our experience in tendering and executing projects, we are often able to propose more cost and time efficient alternatives to our customers specifications, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of our tender bids. The main focus of our marketing and business development activities is to maintain customer contacts and to seek out new business opportunities. INSURANCE In connection with the projects undertaken by us, we are insured against contractors all risks, work injury compensation risks and performance bond/guarantee risks for the duration of the construction period in accordance with the contract requirements. We also maintain group personal accident insurance for our employees. Our Directors believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for the purposes of our business operations and we will procure the necessary additional insurance coverage for our business operations, properties and assets as and when the need arises. However, significant disruption to our operations or damage to any of our properties, whether as a result of fire and/or other causes, may still have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

The construction industry in Singapore is regulated by the BCA, whose primary role is to develop and regulate Singapores building and construction industry. The Building Control Act (Chapter 29) and the Building Control (Licensing of Builders) Regulations 2008 set out the requirements for the licensing of builders. Builders who undertake all building works where plans are required to be approved by the BCA and those who undertake works in specialist areas which have a high impact on public safety and require specific expertise, skill or resources for their proper execution have to be licensed by the BCA. The aim of licensing of builders is to raise professionalism among builders by requiring them to meet minimum standards of management, safety record and financial solvency and to ensure that building works are carried out only by builders with experienced key personnel to manage the business and properly qualified technical personnel to supervise the execution of the works. Builders may be licensed under two registers, each of which will be renewable on a three-yearly basis. The two registers are the General Builder Register and the Specialist Builder Register. Under the General Builder Register, there are two categories. General Builder Class 1 allows the builder to undertake general building works of unlimited value and General Builder Class 2 allows the builder to undertake general building works of contract value S$6 million or less. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our subsidiary, Figtree Projects, is licensed under General Builder Class 1 until 19 September 2016. Main contractors licensed under General Builder Class 1 will need to comply with requirements of the Construction Registration of Tradesmen Scheme ( CoreTrade ) on construction personnel. CoreTrade is a registration scheme, administered by the BCA, for skilled and experienced construction personnel in the various key construction trades. The objective of CoreTrade is to build up a core group of local and experienced foreign workers in key construction trades to anchor and lead the workforce. All General Builder Class 1 contractors carrying out building works with project contract values of S$20 million and above will be required to deploy a minimum number of CoreTrade personnel in such projects. The main contractor is required to submit the manpower deployment plan within 30 days from the date of the grant of permit to carry out structural works for the project. The manpower deployment plan will set out the number and proportion of registered construction personnel to be deployed for the project, the trades they are deployed in and the schedule of their deployment. The submission of the manpower deployment

Registration in the contractors registry maintained by the BCA is a pre-requisite to tendering for projects in the public sector and the validity for a first time registration is for a period of three years. Registration will thereafter lapse automatically unless a renewal (for a period of three years) is filed and approved by the BCA. Presently, there are seven major categories of registration, some of which are further sub-classified into six to seven grades, depending on the sub-category of registration. Registration of a contractor with the BCA is dependent on the contractor fulfilling certain requirements relating to, inter alia , the value of previously completed projects, sufficient financial resources and the necessary full-time personnel resources stationed in Singapore to undertake the work corresponding to the registration head applied for. The grade assigned to each contractor is also dependent on the contractors minimum net worth and paid-up capital. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our subsidiary, Figtree Projects, is registered with the BCA under the category of CW01 for general building with a B2 grading until 1 July 2015. The B2 grading allows Figtree Projects to tender for public sector construction projects of up to S$13 million. To maintain Figtree Projects existing B2 grading under the CW01 category, there are certain requirements to be complied with, including but not limited to the following: maintaining a minimum paid-up capital and net worth of S$1 million; employing at least three professional and technical personnel with relevant qualifications, with at least one personnel qualified with a Basic Concept in Construction Productivity Enhancement (Certificate of Attendance) conducted by BCA Academy by 1 July 2013; obtaining certificates such as ISO 9001: 2008, ISO 14000, OHSAS 18000 by 1 July 2013; and engaging in general building projects worth at least S$10 million comprising at least S$7.5 million worth of main contracts (nominated sub-contracts may be included) and at least S$2.5 million worth of minimum size single main contract or nominated sub-contract (under CW01 category, the percentage of sub-contract value taken into consideration shall be 50%). URA and BCA Approval
(c)
Every proposed property development in Singapore requires a Written Permission from the URA setting out specific requirements and limits for the development, such as land use, gross plot ratio, building height and building form on the development site. Once the URA has given the Grant of Written Permission, an application will be made to the BCA for the building plan approval in respect of the development. Construction may then commence upon receipt of the notice of approval and permit to carry out structural works from the BCA, in accordance with such approvals. For more details, please refer to paragraph (d) below. In the event that the development site is owned by the JTC, we are also required to obtain approval in respect of the
97
Under the Building Control Act (Chapter 29) which is administered by the BCA, the plans of any building works must be submitted to the Commissioner of Building Control ( CBC ) for approval and in the case of structural works, a permit must be granted by the CBC prior to carrying out such structural works. Before an application to the CBC for approval of the plans of the building works is made, every person for whom any relevant building works are or are to be carried out, or the builder of such building works, shall appoint either a registered architect or professional engineer ( Qualified Person ) to prepare the said plans, and to supervise the building works. The carrying out of concreting, piling, pre-stressing, tightening of high-friction grip bolts or other critical structural works of a prescribed class of building works would also require the supervision of a Qualified Person or a site supervisor appointed by him. Under the Building Control Act, a builder undertaking any building works shall, inter alia , (i) ensure that the building works are carried out in accordance with the plans approved by the CBC and supplied to it by the Qualified Person and with any terms or conditions imposed by the CBC; (ii) notify the CBC of any contravention of the Building Control Act or the building regulations relating to those building works; and (iii) within seven days from the completion of the building works, certify that the new building has been erected or the building works have been carried out in accordance with the Building Control Act and the building regulations and deliver such certificate to the CBC. The Building Control Regulations 2003 sets out certain requirements of the BCA relating to, inter alia , design and construction and the installation of exterior features. For example, (i) no person shall, without the permission of the CBC, install any lift in any building; and (ii) an installation of an air-conditioning unit on the exterior of any building or which projects outwards from any building shall be carried out by a trained air-conditioning unit installer. If the CBC is of the opinion that any building works are carried out in such a manner as (i) will cause, or will be likely to cause, a risk of injury to any person or damage to any property; (ii) will cause, or will be likely to cause, or may have caused a total or partial collapse of the building in respect of which building works are or have been carried out or any building, street or natural formation in close proximity to those building works; or (iii) will render, or will be likely to render, or may have rendered the building in respect of which the building works are or have been carried out or any building, street, slope or natural formation opposite, parallel, adjacent or in otherwise close proximity to those building works so unstable or so dangerous that it will collapse or be likely to collapse (whether totally or partially), he may, by order, direct the person for whom those building works have been or are being carried out to immediately stop the building works and to take such remedial or other measures as he may specify to prevent the abovementioned situations from happening. Under the Fire Safety Act (Chapter 109A) ( FSA ) which is administered by the Singapore Civil Defence Force, the person for whom any proposed fire safety works are to be commenced or carried out in any building shall apply to the Commissioner of Civil Defence ( CCD ) for approval of the plans of the fire safety works in accordance with the Fire Safety (Building Fire Safety) Regulations and such person shall appoint an appropriate qualified person to prepare those plans. No person shall commence or carry out or permit or authorise the commencement or carrying out of any fire safety works in any building unless the CCD has approved all the plans of the fire safety
98
The Workplace Safety and Health Act (Chapter 354A) ( WSHA ) provides that every employer has the duty to take, so far as is reasonably practicable, such measures as are necessary to ensure the safety and health of his employees at work. These measures include providing and maintaining for those persons a work environment which is safe, without risk to health, and adequate as regards facilities and arrangements for their welfare at work, ensuring that adequate safety measures are taken in respect of any machinery, equipment, plant, article or process used by those persons, ensuring that those persons are not exposed to hazards arising out of the arrangement, disposal, manipulation, organisation, processing, storage, transport, working or use of things in their workplace or near their workplace and under the control of the employer, developing and implementing procedures for dealing with emergencies that may arise while those persons are at work and ensuring that those persons at work have adequate instruction, information, training and supervision as is necessary for them to perform their work. The relevant regulatory body is the MOM. Under the WSHA, inspectors appointed by the the Commission for Workplace Safety and Health ( CWSH ) may, inter alia , enter, inspect and examine any workplace and any machinery, equipment, plant, installation or article at any workplace, to make such examination and inquiry as may be necessary to ascertain whether the provisions of the WSHA are complied with. Under the WSHA, the CWSH may serve a remedial order or a stop-work order in respect of a workplace if he is satisfied that (i) the workplace is in such condition, or is so located, or any part of the machinery, equipment, plant or article in the workplace is so used, that any work or process carried on in the workplace cannot be carried on with due regard to the safety, health and welfare of persons at work; (ii) any person has contravened any duty imposed by the WSHA; or (iii) any 99
Second Stage
A main contractor will have its records cleared when all its worksites do not accumulate any demerit points for a rolling period of 12 months. 100
Upon examination, the Authorised Examiner will issue and sign a certificate of test and examination, specifying the safe working load of the equipment. Such certificate of test and examination shall be kept available for inspection. Under the WSHR, it is the duty of the owner of the equipment/occupier of the workplace to ensure that the equipment complies with the provisions of the WSHR and to keep a register containing the requisite particulars with respect to the lifting gears, lifting appliances and lifting machines.
101
The Work Injury Compensation Act (Cap. 354) ( WICA ), which is regulated by the MOM, applies to all employees (with the exception of those set out in the Fourth Schedule of the WICA) who have entered into or work under a contract of service or apprenticeship with an employer, in respect of injury suffered by them arising out of and in the course of their employment and sets out, inter alia , the amount of compensation that they are entitled to and the method(s) of calculating such compensation. The WICA provides that if in any employment, personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of the employment is caused to an employee, the employer shall be liable to pay compensation in accordance with the provisions of the WICA. The amount of compensation shall be computed in accordance with the Third Schedule of the WICA, subject to a maximum and minimum limit. The WICA provides, inter alia , that, where any person (referred to as the principal) in the course of his business or for the purpose of his trade or business contracts with any other person (referred to as the contractor) for the execution by the employer of the whole or any part of any work, or for the supply of labour to carry out any work, undertaken by the principal, the principal shall be liable to pay to any employee employed in the execution of the work any compensation which he would have been liable to pay if that employee had been immediately employed by the principal. 102
The availability and the employment cost of skilled and unskilled foreign workers are affected by the Singapore Governments policies and regulations on the immigration and employment of foreign workers in Singapore. The conditions and requirements are set out in, inter alia , the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (Chapter 91A) ( EFMA ), which is regulated by the MOM. In Singapore, under Section 5(1) of the EFMA, no person shall employ a foreign employee unless he has obtained, in respect of the foreign employee, a valid work pass from the MOM, which allows the foreign employee to work for him. The availability of the foreign workers to the construction industry is also regulated by the MOM through the following conditions and requirements: (i) Approved source countries
The approved source countries for construction workers are Malaysia, the PRC, Non Traditional Source ( NTS ) and North Asian Sources ( NAS ). NTS countries consist of India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar and the Philippines. NAS countries consist of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, South Korea and Taiwan. (ii) Dependency ceiling based on the ratio of local to foreign workers
The number of foreign workers that an employer is allowed to hire is limited by dependency ratio ceiling/quota and subject to levy. The dependency ratio ceilings/quotas are applied to all S Pass and work permit holders and its purpose is to encourage employers to hire local employees. The dependency ceiling/quota for the construction industry is currently set at a ratio of one full-time local worker to seven foreign workers. Once an employer has exceeded his quota, new applications and renewals of the work passes of his existing foreign workers (both Work Permit and S Pass) may be rejected as a result. If an employer has persistently exceeded his quota, the MOM will cancel the work passes in excess of his quota. (iii) The imposition of foreign worker levies and levy bonds The employment of foreign workers is also subject to the payment of levies. The amount of foreign worker levy currently payable for construction workers is set out in the table below: Category Higher skilled workers who are registered with CoreTrade or issued with trade certifications recognized by the BCA with at least four years of construction experience in Singapore or construction workers under the Multi-Skilled Scheme Basic skilled workers with Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia and/or BCAs Skills Evaluation Certificate or Skills Evaluation Certificate (Knowledge) Higher skilled and experienced workers who are exempted from MYE and have at least two years of working experience in Singapore in the relevant sector that they are employed under Basic skilled and experienced workers who are exempted from MYE and have at least two years of working experience in Singapore in the relevant sector that they are employed under Monthly levy payable S$300
S$450 S$600
S$750
103
Employers are required to provide a levy bond based on the number of NTS and/or PRC workers employed. Most levy bonds have a validity period of 12 months, except for new companies, which is six months. The levy bonds will be released after the validity period if the company makes prompt levy payment during this period. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the levy bond for the construction sector is set out below: Category Basic Skilled and Higher Skilled Unskilled (iv) MYE allocation system Employers are subject to MYE when employing workers from NTS countries and PRC for construction projects. MYE reflects the total quota of foreign construction workers allocated to a main contractor (being a company that contracts a project directly from the developer or owner) for a specific construction project. Based on the value of projects/contracts awarded by developers/owners, main contractors are allocated a number of man-years (one man-year is equivalent to one year of employment under a work permit) required to complete a project, and a number of foreign workers it is entitled to employ. NTS or PRC construction workers, who have worked with an employer for a cumulative period of two or more years in the construction industry, may be hired by the main contractor without need for MYE. Instead, a levy will be imposed on these workers. Main contractors cannot allocate or sell their MYE to other contractors not involved in the same project. Main contractors which do so will be barred from applying for new work permits in the future. To employ NTS and PRC construction workers, the employer must make an application for MYE, Prior Approval ( PA ) and In-Principle Approvals ( IPA ) for individual work permits. Levy bond S$600 S$2,000
104
The Environmental Public Health Act (Chapter 95) ( EPHA ) as regulated by the National Environment Agency ( NEA ) requires, inter alia , a person who, during the erection, alteration, construction or demolition of any building or at any time, to take reasonable precautions to prevent danger to the life, health or well-being of persons using any public places from flying dust or falling fragments or from any other material, thing or substance. The EPHA also regulates, inter alia , the disposal and treatment of industrial waste and public nuisances. Under the EPHA, the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has empowered the Director-General of Public Health to serve a nuisance order on the owner or occupier of the premises on which the nuisance arises. Some of the nuisances which are liable to be dealt with summarily under the EPHA include any premises or part thereof of such a construction or in such a state as to be a nuisance or injurious or dangerous to health, any factory or workplace which is not kept in a clean state and any place 105
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act (Chapter 30B) ( BCISPA ), regulated by the BCA, confers a statutory entitlement to progress payments on any person who has carried out any construction work or supplied any goods or services under a contract. The BCISPA also contains provisions relating to, inter alia , the amount of progress payments to which a person who has carried out any construction work is entitled under a contract, the valuation of the construction work carried out and the date on which a progress payment becomes due and payable (even where a construction contract does not provide for such date). In addition, the BCISPA, inter alia , endorses the following rights:
106
(ii)
(iii) where the respondent fails to pay the whole or any part of the adjudicated amount to a claimant, the right of a principal of the respondent (being the person who is liable to make payment to the respondent for or in relation to the whole or part of the construction work that is the subject of the contract between the respondent and the claimant) to make direct payment of the outstanding amount of the adjudicated amount to the claimant, together with the right for such principal to recover such payment as a debt due from the respondent. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the aforesaid licences, permits and approvals have been suspended, revoked or cancelled and to the best of our knowledge and belief, we are not aware of any facts or circumstances which would cause such licences, permits and approvals to be suspended, revoked or cancelled as the case may be, or for any applications for, or renewal of, any of these licences, permits and approvals to be rejected by the relevant authorities. Save as disclosed above, our business operations are not subject to any special legislation or regulatory controls other than those generally applicable to companies and businesses incorporated and/or operating in Singapore. Malaysia (a) Business Premise Licences
Business premise licences/signboard licences are issued by the respective state local authorities in Malaysia. License for the business premise is intended for business carried out at shop lots buildings, shop, commercial complex, industrial workshop, dwelling house (for business nursery and kindergarten only) including on vacant land. The business premise licence is required in respect of signages and billboards displayed outside the premises where business is carried on. The requirements for the application of a business premise licence may vary according to each local authority in Malaysia. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Figtree Malaysia does not have a place of business in Malaysia and has not applied for any business premise licence. Accordingly, in the event Figtree Malaysia takes up a place of business in Malaysia, it must apply for a business premise licence. (b) Laws pertaining to the Construction Industry
The construction industry in Malaysia is subject to the regulation of the Construction Industry Development Board established under the Construction Industry Development Board Act 1994. The Act governs contractors who carry out construction works and construction works therein refers to:107
and includes any works which form an integral part of, or are preparatory to or temporary for the works described in paragraphs (a) to (e), including site clearance, soil investigation and improvement, earth-moving, excavation, laying of foundation, site restoration and landscaping. As Figtree Malaysias principal activity is project management consultancy services for the construction industry, it does not fall within the scope of construction works in the Construction Industry Development Board Act 1994 and is not required to be registered with the Construction Industry Development Board. Accordingly, Figtree Malaysia must register with the Construction Industry Development Board prior to undertaking any construction works in Malaysia. (c) Laws pertaining to Employment and Occupational Health and Safety
The main legislation that governs employment in Malaysia are as follows: Employment Act 1955; and Industrial Relations Act 1967
Employers are, however, advised to bear in mind the following legislation: Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 Employees Social Security Act 1969
The provisions of these Acts are applicable to all industries and persons categorized as qualifying or falling within the applicable categories of each such Act. The Employment Act 1955 ( EA 1955 ) provides for the rights of employees and sets out restrictions within which employers are required to operate for the benefit of the employees. The EA 1955 provides, inter alia, for provisions relating to: the payment of wages, e.g. time for payment of wages, payments on termination of contracts, lay-off and retirement benefits; the contracts of service, e.g., requiring contracts to be in writing, making provision for termination of contracts, construction of contracts; rest days, hours of work, holidays; 108
The Industrial Relations Act 1967 ( IRA 1967 ) is an Act to promote and maintain industrial harmony and to provide for the regulation of the relations between employers and workmen and their trade unions and the prevention and settlement of any differences or disputes arising from their relationship and generally to deal with trade disputes and matters arising therefrom. The Industrial Court is formed under the provisions of the IRA 1967 and the Industrial Court is the primary forum for resolution of labour disputes relating to dismissals in Malaysia. The Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 and the Employees Social Security Act 1969 respectively are Acts to provide for the law relating to a scheme of savings for employees retirement and the management of the savings for retirement purposes and to provide for the establishment of a social security fund to be utilized by contributors in certain contingencies. The Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 ( OSHA ) is designed to make provision for securing safety, health and welfare of persons at work, for protecting others against risks to safety or health in connection with the activities of persons at work, to establish the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health and for matters connected therewith. Figtree Malaysia would be obliged under the provisions of OSHA to ensure that any place of work that it maintains in Malaysia is safe and without risks to health. (d) Laws pertaining to Environment
As Figtree Malaysias stated principal business is project management consultancy and it has no permanent place of business, the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and other such laws relating to the environment would not be directly applicable to the present manner of Figtree Malaysias conduct of its ordinary course of business. Accordingly, in the event Figtree Malaysia changes its principal business activity and/or takes up a permanent place of business, the relevant laws pertaining to the environment may apply. PRC We have a PRC subsidiary, Figtree Shanghai. Set out below are the main laws and regulations that materially affect its operations in PRC, apart from those pertaining to general business requirements. (a) MOC Approval
The establishment of a Sino-foreign equity joint venture enterprise ( EJV ) in China is subject to the approval of the Ministry of Commerce of the Peoples Republic of China ( MOC ). The Law of the Peoples Republic of China on Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures promulgated by the National Peoples Congress on 15 March 2001, and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on Joint Ventures Using Chinese and Foreign Investment promulgated by the State Council on 22 July 2001, set out the requirements for establishing an EJV.
109
Under the Administrative Provisions for Foreign-Invested Construction Enterprises which was promulgated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC ( MOHURD ) and the MOC on 27 September 2002, a foreign-invested enterprise intending to engage in construction activities within the territory of the PRC shall first obtain a Construction Enterprise Qualification Certificate issued by the MOHURD or its counterparts with jurisdiction. In addition, under the Construction Law of the Peoples Republic of China promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress on 1 November 1997, enterprises engaged in construction activities shall employ specialized technicians with proper business qualification certificates for conducting construction activities they are engaged in. The definition of the aforesaid construction activities, according to the relevant PRC laws, is new construction, expansion and reconstruction of civil works, construction projects, pipelines and equipment erection as well as decoration projects conducted in the PRC. Figtree Shanghais main business, according to its business license, is construction project consulting, which does not fall within the scope of construction activities mentioned above. It is therefore not required to obtain a Construction Enterprise Qualification Certificate, nor hire employees with proper qualification certificates. Accordingly, Figtree Shanghai must register with the MOHURD and obtain a Construction Enterprise Qualification Certificates as well as hire employees with proper qualification certificates prior to undertaking any construction works in the PRC. (c) Construction Project Management
According to the competent PRC laws, an enterprise engaging in construction project management shall obtain qualifications before conducting any business and hire technical personnel with proper practicing qualifications as well. The relevant PRC law defines construction project management as the specialized management and services provided by an enterprise engaging in construction project management for the whole process of construction or by stages upon entrustment by the construction engineering project owner. A construction project management enterprise shall obtain one or more of the qualifications for engineering survey, design, construction, supervision, construction cost consulting, bidding agency, etc. Figtree Shanghai, according to its business scope, engages in project management consulting and has not conducted any business except entering into four construction management consulting agreements since its incorporation, which focus on consulting service as opposed to construction project management. Under PRC law, it is possible to engage in construction
110
Under PRC law, any operator intending to undertake the import or export of goods shall first go through the archival filing and registration with the MOC or the local counterparts. Though the business scope of Figtree Shanghai includes the import and export of goods, it is not required to conduct the aforesaid archival filing and registration until it embarks on import and export business. According to the PRC Import and Export laws and regulations, in most cases import and export of goods are freely permitted though it may be subject to an automatic import licence for recording purpose. However, stricter rules apply to the import and export of those prohibited or restricted by the law and/or regulations. Generally, prohibited goods cannot be imported or exported, and the import or export of restricted goods may be subject to regulations such as quota management, import licence and export licence. If Figtree Shanghai engages in the import and export business in the future, it shall apply for proper licences or quota as applicable. As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of our Directors knowledge and belief, our Group has obtained all material certifications, approvals and licences necessary for our current operations. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The nature of our business does not require us to carry out any significant research and development activities. However, our staff continually update themselves on the new developments in the industry. Our staff also attend relevant courses organised by the BCA on construction methodology and design to keep abreast with latest developments. For more information, please refer to the section entitled General Information on our Group Staff Training of this Offer Document. SEASONALITY Due to the nature of our business which is project-based, we have not observed any significant seasonal trends within each of the financial periods under review. Our Directors believe that there is no apparent seasonality factor affecting the construction industry in the regions where we operate. STAFF TRAINING Our Group believes that our employees are an invaluable asset to our Group and key to our future growth. We believe that it is essential that our employees are equipped with the relevant knowledge, skills and technical know-how. Therefore, we provide orientation programmes and on-the-job training for our new staff, under the close supervision of the project manager-in-charge. In addition, given the competitive nature of the construction industry, we have to focus on improving efficiency. This is achieved by regular internal and external training for our employees so as to maximise their productivity and efficiency.
111
In addition, we provide various types of training programmes to our employees according to their job scopes and functions. Such training include courses on workplace safety, construction safety, human resources, working skills upgrades and the relevant statutory requirements and building regulations as required by the industry and the relevant authorities. In addition, supervisory and senior executives are further sent for external training courses and seminars on operations supervision and management development. As part of an overall programme to improve the productivity of the construction industry in Singapore, the BCA has formulated a plan to move the industry towards the widespread adoption of Building Information Modelling ( BIM ), a new three dimensional modelling technology that allows the building professionals of various disciplines to explore the building project digitally before it is built and in the process improve on the design and avoid abortive work. The BCA will mandate electronic submissions in BIM format for architectural, structural and M&E plans for building works for regulatory approval by 2015, starting with architectural electronic submissions in 2013. As at the Latest Practicable Date, some of our employees in our project team are trained in BIM. Since most of our training is either conducted in-house or government-subsidised, the expenses incurred in relation to external staff training for each of the last three financial years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and for the six-month financial period ended 30 June 2013 were not material. COMPETITION We operate in a highly competitive environment and we are subject to intense competition from existing players and new entrants to the industry. To the best of our knowledge, we consider our main competitors in our design and build business to be other contractors specialising in the design and build of industrial properties, including Boustead Projects Pte Ltd, Bovis Lend Lease Pte Ltd, Soilbuild Construction Group Ltd. and Jian Huang Construction Co Pte Ltd. In relation to our design and build business, we generally compete on price as well as design solutions. To the best of our knowledge, in relation to our proposed property development business, we believe that the property development market is fragmented and our competitors will be dependent on the area where the property to be developed is located. In this business segment, we believe that we will generally compete on price.

PROSPECTS Our Directors have observed that the growth of the property market and the construction industry are generally linked to economic growth, local and global developments in relation to inflation, price of raw materials, bank interest rates, government policies and regulations and other conditions which may impact economic, regulatory, political and social stability. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, our Directors believe that we can continue to grow and the general economic outlook and the performance of the property market and construction industry of the countries which we operate in, particularly Singapore, Malaysia and the PRC, are key factors affecting the growth of our business. Construction and property market outlook Singapore In Singapore, it is expected that construction demand will be supported by housing and infrastructure construction projects that are planned by the Singapore Government to meet the needs of the growing population. Our Directors believe that such demand for housing and infrastructure construction projects reflects a continued and sustained level of demand for construction services for the next few years. In addition, our Directors also believe that the Singapore Government will release more commercial space to meet the potential demand for industrial land and to moderate industrial land prices. It is expected that such increased supplies of commercial space will lead to an increased volume of commercial space projects available for tender.

The largest aggregate outstanding amount secured under the guarantees and indemnities during the Relevant Period by Danny Siaw, Robert Oei, Fung Tze Ping and Teoh Hoon Song was approximately S$15.53 million. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate outstanding amount secured was approximately S$15.53 million. As no fee was paid to Danny Siaw, Robert Oei, Fung Tze Ping and Teoh Hoon Song for the provision of the above guarantees and indemnities, our Directors are of the view that the above arrangements were not carried out on an arms length basis or on normal commercial terms but were to the benefit of our Group. Following the admission of our Company to Catalist, we intend to procure a release and discharge of the abovementioned guarantees and indemnities from the relevant financial institutions and substitute the same with other guarantees and indemnities acceptable to the relevant financial institutions. If we are unable to procure the release and discharge of these guarantees and indemnities, Danny Siaw, Robert Oei, Fung Tze Ping and Teoh Hoon Song will either continue to provide the guarantees and indemnities for so long as such guarantees and indemnities are required by the relevant financial institutions or to seek and obtain suitable alternatives from other financial institutions offering comparable terms without the need for such personal guarantees and indemnities.

is of the view that Audrea Ling is suitable for the position of Chief Financial Officer of our Group.

Summary of the ESOS The following is a summary of the rules of the ESOS which should be read in conjunction with the Rules of the Figtree Employee Share Option Scheme set out in Appendix E of this Offer Document. (1) Participants Confirmed full time employees of our Group, Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors) who have attained the age of twenty-one (21) years on or prior to the relevant Offer Date and are not undischarged bankrupts and have not entered into a composition with their respective creditors, shall be eligible to participate in the ESOS at the absolute discretion of the Committee. Confirmed full time employees of our Group, Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors who are also Controlling Shareholders or Associates of a Controlling Shareholder are also eligible to participate in the ESOS provided that (a) the participation of, and (b) the 141
As at the date of this Offer Document, the Committee comprises Lee Choong Hiong, Lee Kim Huat and Pong Chen Yih. The Committee will consist of Directors (including Directors or persons who may be participants of the ESOS). A member of the Committee who is also a participant of the ESOS must not be involved in any deliberation or decision in respect of Options granted or to be granted to him. (3) Size of the ESOS The total number of Shares over which the Committee may grant Options on any date, when added to the number of Shares issued and issuable in respect of (a) all Options granted under the ESOS; and (b) all outstanding options or awards granted under such other share-based incentive schemes of the Company, shall not exceed 15% of the number of issued Shares (including treasury shares, as defined in the Companies Act) on the day immediately preceding the Offer Date of the Option. Our Directors believe that this limit gives us sufficient flexibility to decide upon the number of Option Shares to offer to our existing and new employees. The number of eligible participants is expected to grow over the years. Our Company, in line with its goal of ensuring sustainable growth, is constantly reviewing its position and considering the expansion of its talent pool which may involve employing new employees. The employee base, and thus the number of eligible participants will increase as a result. If the number of Options available under the ESOS is limited, our Company may only be able to grant a small number of Options to each eligible participant which may not be a sufficiently attractive incentive. Our Company is of the opinion that it should have sufficient number of Options to offer to new employees as well as to existing ones. The number of Options offered must also be significant to serve as a meaningful reward for contributions to our Group. However, it does not necessarily mean that the Committee will definitely issue Option Shares up to the prescribed limit. The Committee shall exercise its discretion in deciding the number of Option Shares to be granted to each employee which will depend on the performance and value of the employee to our Group.
142
143
(b)
In determining whether to give a discount and the quantum of the discount, the Committee shall be at liberty to take into consideration factors including the performance of our Company, our Group, the performance of the participant concerned, the contribution of the participant to the success and development of our Group and the prevailing market conditions.
144
(b)
The Committee will have the absolute discretion to grant Discounted Options, to determine the level of discount (subject to a maximum discount of 20% of the Market Price) and the grantees to whom, and the Options to which, such discount in the exercise price will apply provided that our Shareholders in general meeting shall have authorised, in a separate resolution, the making of offers and grants of Options under the ESOS at a discount not exceeding the maximum discount as aforesaid. Such Discounted Options may be exercisable after two years from the date of grant. Our Company may also grant Options without any discount to the Market Price. Additionally, our Company may, if it deems fit, impose conditions on the exercise of the Options (whether such Options are granted at the market price or at a discount to the Market Price), such as restricting the number of Shares for which the Option may be exercised during the initial years following its vesting. Cost of Options granted under the ESOS to our Company Any Options granted under the ESOS would have a fair value. Where such Options are granted at a consideration below their fair value, there will be a cost to our Company, the amount of which will depend on whether the Options are granted at the Market Price or at a discount. The cost to our Company of granting Options under the ESOS would be as follows: (a) the exercise of an Option at a discounted exercise price would translate into a reduction of the proceeds from the exercise of such Options, as compared to the proceeds that our Company would have received from such exercise had the exercise been made at the prevailing market price of our Shares. Such reduction of the exercise proceeds would represent the monetary cost to our Company of granting Options with a discounted exercise price; 145
(c)
(d)
The financial effects discussed above in (a), (b) and (c) would only materialise upon the exercise of the relevant Options. The cost of granting Options discussed in (d) above would be recognised in the financial statements even if the Options discussed in (d) above are not exercised. Share options have value because the option to buy a companys share for a fixed price during an extended future time period is a valuable right, even if there are restrictions attached to such an option. As our Company is required to account for share-based awards granted to our employees, the cost of granting Options will affect our financial results as this cost to our Company would be required to be charged to our Companys profit or loss commencing from the time Options are granted. Subject as aforesaid, as and when Options are exercised, the cash inflow will add to the net tangible assets of our Company and our share capital base will grow. Where Options are granted with exercise prices that are set at a discount to the market prices for our Shares prevailing at the time of the grant of such Options, the amount of the cash inflow to our Company on the exercise of such Options would be diminished by the quantum of the discount given, as compared with the cash inflow that would have been receivable by our Company had the Options been granted at the market price of our Shares prevailing at the time of the grant. The grant of Options will have an impact on our Companys reported profit under the accounting rules in FRS 102. The cost to our Company in granting an Option would vary depending on the number of Options granted pursuant to the ESOS, whether these Options are granted at Market Price or at a discount and the validity period of the Options. Generally a greater discount and a longer validity period for an Option will result in higher potential cost to our Company. Rationale for participation by the Controlling Shareholders and Associates of our Controlling Shareholders in the ESOS Our Company acknowledges that the services and contributions of employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders are important to the development and success of our Group. The extension of the ESOS to confirmed full-time employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders allows our Group to have a fair and equitable system to reward employees who have actively contributed to the progress and success of our Group. The participation of our Controlling Shareholders or the Associates of the Controlling Shareholders in the ESOS will serve both as a reward to them for their dedicated services to our Group and a motivation for them to take a long-term view of our Group. Although participants who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders may already have shareholding interests in our Company, the extension of the ESOS to include them ensures that they are equally entitled, with the other employees of our Group who are not Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders, to take 146

The recommendations of our Remuneration Committee should be submitted for endorsement by the entire Board. All aspects of remuneration, including but not limited to directors fees, salaries, allowances, bonuses, the Options to be issued under the ESOS and other benefits-in-kind shall be covered by our Remuneration Committee. In addition, our Remuneration Committee will perform an annual review of the remuneration of employees related to our Directors and/or Substantial Shareholders to ensure that their remuneration packages are in line with our staff remuneration guidelines and commensurate with their respective job scopes and level of responsibilities. They will also review and approve any bonuses, pay increases and/or promotions for these employees. Each member of our Remuneration Committee shall abstain from voting on any resolutions in respect of his remuneration package or that of employees related to him.

Apart from the duties listed above, our Audit Committee shall commission and review the findings of internal investigations into matters where there is any suspected fraud or irregularity, or failure of internal controls or suspected infringement of any Singapore law, rule or regulation which has or is likely to have a material impact on our Groups operating results and/or financial position. In the event that a member of our Audit Committee is interested in any matter being considered by our Audit Committee, he will abstain from reviewing and deliberating on that particular transaction or voting on that particular resolution. Our Audit Committee shall also commission an annual internal control audit until such time as our Audit Committee is satisfied that our Groups internal controls are robust and effective enough to mitigate our Groups internal control weaknesses (if any). Prior to the decommissioning of such an annual audit, our Board is required to report to the SGX-ST and the Sponsor on how the key internal control weaknesses have been rectified, and the basis for the decision to decommission the annual internal control audit. Thereafter, such audits may be initiated by our Audit Committee as and when it deems fit to satisfy itself that our Groups internal controls remain robust and effective. Upon completion of the internal control audit, appropriate disclosure will be made via SGXNET of any material, price-sensitive internal control weaknesses and any follow-up actions to be taken by our Board. Currently, based on the internal controls established and maintained by our Group, work performed by the internal and external auditors, and reviews performed by our management and our Board, our Board, with the concurrence of our Audit Committee, is of the view that our internal control procedures are adequate to address financial, operational and compliance risks.

EXCHANGE CONTROLS
Singapore There are no Singapore government laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation that may affect the following: (a) the import or export of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by our Group; and the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our Companys securities.

Malaysia In accordance with the current Exchange Control Notices of Malaysia issued by Bank Negara Malaysia, foreign direct investors have the freedom to repatriate their investments including capital, profit and dividends without being subject to any levy. There are also no restrictions on the repatriation of capital, profits, dividends, interests, fees or rental income by foreign direct investors or portfolio investors. PRC The Peoples Bank of China ( PBOC ), with the authorisation of the State Council, issued on 28 December 1993 the Notice of the Peoples Bank of China on Operational Issues Concerning the Implementation of the Notice of the State Council on the Further Reform of the Foreign Exchange Control System ( ). On 29 January 1996, the State Council promulgated the PRC Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations ( ) which took effect on 1 April 1996 and revised on 14 January 1997 and further revised on 5 August 2008. On 20 June 1996, the PBOC issued the Administration Regulations on the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange ( , ), which took effect on 1 July 1996. On 25 October 1998, the PBOC and the State Administration for Foreign Exchange ( SAFE ) issued a Joint Announcement on Abolishment of Foreign Exchange Swap Business ( ) which stated that from 1 December 1998, all foreign exchange transactions for foreign investment enterprises may only be conducted through authorised banks. These regulations contain detailed provisions regulating the holding, sale and purchase of foreign exchange by individuals, enterprises, economic bodies and social organisations in the PRC. Under the new regulations, the previous dual exchange rate system for RMB was abolished and a unified floating exchange rate system based largely on supply and demand was introduced. The PBOC, having regard to the trading prices between RMB and major foreign currencies on the inter-bank foreign exchange market, publishes on each bank business day the RMB exchange rates against major foreign currencies. The foreign exchange earnings of domestic organisations and individuals may be remitted back to the PRC or held abroad. The provisions regarding the requirements, time limit to remit back or hold abroad shall be made by SAFE based on the balance of international payments and foreign exchange administrative requirements. The recurrent foreign exchange earnings may, in accordance with relevant provisions of the PRC, be retained or sold to the financial institutions engaged in settlement and sale of foreign exchange while the reservation or sale of capital foreign exchange earnings to the aforesaid financial institutions shall be approved by the foreign exchange administration authority unless otherwise provided by the state.
156
EXCHANGE CONTROLS
At present, control on the purchase of foreign exchange is being relaxed. Enterprises which require foreign exchange for their current activities such as trading activities and payment of staff remuneration may purchase foreign exchange from designated banks, subject to the production of relevant supporting documents without the need for any prior approvals by SAFE. In addition, where an enterprise requires any foreign exchange for the payment of dividends that are payable in foreign currencies under applicable regulations, such as the distribution of profits by a foreign investment enterprise to its foreign investment party, then, subject to the due payment of tax on such dividends the amount required may be withdrawn from funds in foreign exchange accounts maintained with designated banks, and where the amount of the funds in foreign exchange is insufficient, the enterprise may purchase additional foreign exchange from designated banks upon the presentation of the resolutions of the board of directors on the profit distribution plan of that enterprise. Despite the relaxation of foreign exchange control over current account transaction, the approval of the foreign exchange administration authority is still required before a PRC enterprise may borrow a loan in foreign currency from abroad or provide any guarantee to institutions outside the territory of the PRC or foreign-funded financial institutions within the territory of the PRC. When conducting actual foreign exchange transactions, the designated banks may, based on the exchange rate published by the PBOC and subject to certain limits, freely determine the applicable exchange rate. The China Foreign Exchange Trading Centre ( CFETC ) was formally established and came into operation in April 1994. CFETC has set up a computerised network with sub-centres in several major cities, thereby forming an interbank market in which designated PRC banks can trade in foreign exchange and settle their foreign currency obligations. Prior to 1 December 1998, enterprises with foreign investment may at their own choice enter into exchange transactions through swap centre or through designated PRC banks. From 1 December 1998 onwards, exchange transactions will have to be conducted through designated banks. Swap centres became restricted to conducting foreign exchange transactions between authorised banks and inter-bank lending between PRC banks.

TAXATION
Singapore Taxation The following is a discussion of certain tax matters relating to Singapore income tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty, estate duty and Goods and Services Tax ( GST ) consequences in relation to the purchase, ownership and disposal of our Shares based on the current tax laws in Singapore. The discussion is limited to a general description of certain tax consequences in Singapore with respect to ownership of our Shares by Singapore investors, and does not purport to be a comprehensive nor exhaustive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our Shares. It is also not intended to be and does not constitute legal or tax advice. The discussion below is based on the assumption that our Company is a tax resident in Singapore for Singapore income tax purposes. The laws, regulations and interpretations, may change at any time, and any change could be made on a retroactive basis. These laws and regulations are also subject to various interpretations and no assurance can be given that the relevant tax authorities or the courts of Singapore will agree with the explanations or conclusions set out below or that changes in such laws and regulations will not occur. Prospective investors of our Shares should consult their tax advisers and/or legal advisers concerning the tax consequences of owning and disposing our Shares. Neither our Company, our Directors nor any other persons involved in this Placement accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription, purchase, holding or disposal of our Shares. INCOME TAX (i) Individual Taxpayers
An individual is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore in a year of assessment if, in the preceding calendar year, he was physically present in Singapore or exercised an employment in Singapore for 183 days or more, or if he ordinarily resides in Singapore. Individual taxpayers who are Singapore tax residents are subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore. All foreign-source income received (except for certain income received through a partnership in Singapore) in Singapore by Singapore tax resident individuals is exempt from Singapore income tax if the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore ( IRAS ) is satisfied that the tax exemption would be beneficial to the individual. Singapore tax-resident individuals are subject to tax based on progressive rates, currently ranging from 0% to 20%. Non-Singapore tax-resident individuals, subject to certain exceptions, are subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore. They are generally subject to tax at 20% except for Singapore employment income which is subject to tax at a flat rate of 15% or at the resident rate, whichever is higher. (ii) Corporate Taxpayers
A company is tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of its business is exercised in Singapore. Normally, the control and management of a company is vested in its board of directors and hence a company is usually regarded as a tax resident of Singapore if its board of directors holds the majority of its board meetings in Singapore.
158
TAXATION
Corporate taxpayers are subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore and foreign-source income received or deemed to be received in Singapore from outside Singapore (unless otherwise exempted). Foreign-source income in the form of dividends, branch profits and services income received or deemed to be received in Singapore by Singapore tax resident companies are exempt from tax if certain prescribed conditions are met. The first S$300,000 of normal chargeable income is exempt from tax as follows: (a) (b) 75% of up to the first S$10,000; and 50% of up to the next S$290,000.
The remaining chargeable income (after deducting the applicable tax exemption of the first S$300,000 of chargeable income) will be taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rate, currently at 17%. DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS (i) One Tier Corporate Taxation System
Singapore currently adopts the one-tier corporate taxation system ( one-tier system ). Under the one-tier system, the tax collected from corporate profits is a final tax and the after-tax profits of the company resident in Singapore can be distributed to its shareholders as tax exempt ( one-tier ) dividends. One-tier dividends are tax exempt in the hands of all shareholders, regardless of the tax residence status or the legal form of the shareholders. (ii) Withholding Taxes
Singapore does not currently impose withholding tax on dividends paid to resident or non-resident shareholders. Foreign shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers to take into account the tax laws of their respective home countries/countries of residence and the applicability of any double taxation agreement which their country of residence may have with Singapore. CAPITAL GAINS TAX There is currently no tax on capital gains in Singapore. Gains derived from the disposal of our Shares that are acquired for long-term investment purposes are generally considered to be capital in nature and not subject to Singapore tax. On the other hand, where the taxpayer is deemed by the IRAS to be carrying on a trade or business in Singapore of dealing in shares, the gains from the disposal of shares are likely to be regarded as revenue in nature and subject to Singapore income tax. Shareholders should consult their own professional advisers on the Singapore tax consequences that may apply to their individual circumstances.
159
TAXATION
Subject to certain conditions being met, with effect from 1 June 2012 and for a period of five years, gains derived from the disposal of ordinary shares by companies are automatically treated as non-taxable capital gains, if the divesting company holds a minimum shareholding of 20% of the ordinary shares in the company whose shares are being disposed for a continuous period of at least 24 months immediately prior to the date of the share disposal. In addition, shareholders who adopt the tax treatment to be aligned with FRS 39, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement may be taxed on fair value gains or losses (not being gains or losses in the nature of capital) even though no sale or disposal of our Shares is made. Shareholders who may be subject to such tax treatment should consult their own accounting and tax advisers regarding the Singapore income tax consequences of their acquisition, holding and disposal of our Shares. Foreign sellers are advised to consult their own tax advisers to take into account the applicable tax laws of their respective home countries or countries of residence as well as the provisions of any applicable double taxation agreement. STAMP DUTY No stamp duty is payable on the subscription and issuance of our Shares. Where existing Shares evidenced in certificated form are acquired in Singapore, stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of the Shares at the rate of S$0.20 for every S$100 or any part thereof of the consideration for, or market value of the Shares, whichever is higher. The purchaser is liable for stamp duty, unless otherwise agreed. No stamp duty is payable if no instrument of transfer is executed (such as in the case of scripless shares, the transfer of which does not require instruments of transfer to be executed) or if the instrument of transfer is executed outside Singapore. However, stamp duty may be payable if the instrument of transfer which is executed outside Singapore is subsequently received in Singapore. Stamp duty is not applicable to electronic transfers of our Shares through the CDP system. ESTATE DUTY Singapore estate duty has been abolished since 15 February 2008. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX The sale of our Shares by a GST-registered investor belonging in Singapore through a SGX-ST member or to another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt supply not subject to GST. Any GST (for example, GST on brokerage) incurred by the GST-registered investor in connection with the making of this exempt supply will generally become an additional cost to the investor unless the investor satisfies certain conditions prescribed under the GST legislation or certain GST concessions. Where our Shares are sold by a GST-registered investor to a person belonging outside Singapore (and who is outside Singapore at the time of supply), the sale is a zero-rated supply (that is, subject to GST at 0%). Consequently, any GST (for example, GST on brokerage) incurred by him in the making of this zero-rated supply for the purpose of his business will, subject to the provisions of the GST legislation, be recoverable as an input tax credit in his GST returns. 160
TAXATION
Investors should seek their own tax advice on the recoverability of GST incurred on expenses in connection with the purchase and sale of our Shares. Services such as brokerage and handling services rendered by a GST-registered person to an investor belonging in Singapore in connection with the investors purchase or sale of our Shares will be subject to GST at the prevailing rate (currently of 7.0%). Similar services rendered contractually to an investor belonging outside Singapore should qualify for zero-rating (that is, subject to GST at 0%) provided that the investor is not physically present in Singapore at the time the services are performed and the services do not directly benefit a person who belongs in Singapore.

Disclosures relating to our Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Danny Siaw, and our Executive Director and Cost Director, Tan Chew Joo In late 2009, Danny Siaw assisted the Commercial Affairs Department ( CAD ) in their investigations of complaints filed by his previous employer, Magdecon Projects Pte Ltd ( Magdecon ) against Tan Chew Joo relating to (i) Magdecons investment in another company ( Investment ); and (ii) Tan Chew Joos technical services consultancy contract with Magdecon ( CAD Investigations ). Magdecon had alleged that Tan Chew Joos technical services consultancy contract was not properly drawn up and the Investment was illegally made by him to a company ( Tele-Access ) which his daughter was a substantial shareholder and director of. As a director of Madgecon, Danny Siaw was aware that (i) the Investment had been approved by the then board of directors of Magdecon in 2001 when the board of directors consisted of Tan Chew Joo, Danny Siaw and Robert Oei; and (ii) Tan Chew Joos technical services consultancy contract was properly drawn up as Danny Siaw had been given the authority by the then board of directors of Magdecon in 2007 when the board of directors consisted of Tan Chew Joo, Danny Siaw, Robert Oei, Lee Yeow Cher and David Ong to retain Tan Chew Joos services with Magdecon and he had, for and on behalf of Magdecon, signed off on Tan Chew Joos technical services consultancy contract. Danny Siaw was not the subject of the CAD Investigations and has not been contacted thereafter by the CAD to assist in any further investigations. Tan Chew Joo was not contacted or charged by the CAD in relation to the CAD Investigations. In relation to the Investment, Magdecon had also filed a writ of summons against Tele-Access and Tan Chew Joo on 5 November 2009. Magdecon had alleged that Tan Chew Joo had, in breach of his statutory duties as a director of Magdecon, failed to declare his interest in the Investment and/or failed to procure the payment of the sums owing by Tele-Access under the

The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements 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 entitys 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the abovementioned consolidated financial statements of the Group present fairly, in all material respects, the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, and its results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the financial years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars (SGD or S$). 3.2 Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group during the financial years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, except for the adoption of the new and revised standards and interpretations that are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010, 2011 and 2012.

3.3 Standards issued but not yet effective (contd) Except for the Amendments to FRS 1, the Directors expect that the adoption of the other standards and interpretations above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. The nature of the impending changes in accounting policy on adoption of the Amendments to FRS 1 is described below. Amendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income The Amendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The Amendments to FRS 1 changes the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that could be reclassified to profit or loss at a future point in time would be presented separately from items which will never be reclassified. As the Amendments only affect the presentations of items that are already recognised in OCI, the Group does not expect any impact on its financial position or performance upon adoption of this standard. 3.4 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements presented for the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 are a continuation of the existing group, comprising the financial position and the results of Figtree Projects Pte. Ltd. and its subsidiary companies. Pursuant to this, assets, liabilities, reserves, revenue and expenses of Figtree Projects Pte.

3.4 Basis of consolidation (contd) Basis of consolidation (contd) Subsidiary companies 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. Losses within a subsidiary company are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that 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 company, it: De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary company at their 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 of deficit in profit or loss; Re-classifies the Groups share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or accumulated profits, as appropriate.

3.5 Functional and foreign currency The Groups consolidated financial statements are presented in SGD, which is also the Companys functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiary companies and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the end of the reporting period are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss of the Group on disposal of the foreign operation. Consolidated financial statements For consolidation purpose, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into SGD at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period and their profit or loss are translated at the average exchange rates for the reporting period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions are used. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity under the header foreign currency translation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.

3.5 Functional and foreign currency (contd) Consolidated financial statements (contd) In the case of a partial disposal without loss of control of a subsidiary company that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interest and are not recognised in profit or loss. 3.6 Subsidiary companies A subsidiary company is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 3.7 Plant and equipment All items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, the assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying plant and equipment. The accounting policy for borrowing costs is set out in Note 3.15. The cost of an item of plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Computers Office equipment Furniture and fittings 3 years 3 years 5 years
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes 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 economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year in which the asset is derecognised.

3.8 Impairment of non-financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell 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 from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators. The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which are prepared separately for each of the Groups cash-generating units to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the assets or cash-generating units recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Figtree Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary Companies Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 (contd) 3. Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)
3.9 Construction contracts Contract revenue and contract costs are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period (the percentage of completion method), when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably. The outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably when: (i) total contract revenue can be measured reliably; (ii) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the entity; (iii) the costs to complete the contract and the stage of completion can be measured reliably; and (iv) the contract costs attributable to the contract can be clearly identified and measured reliably so that actual contract costs incurred can be compared with prior estimates. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably (principally during early stages of a contract), contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable and contract costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. An expected loss on the construction contract is recognised as an expense immediately when it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue. In applying the percentage of completion method, revenue recognised corresponds to the total contract revenue (as defined below) multiplied by the actual completion rate based on the proportion of total contract costs (as defined below) incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete. Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and they are capable of being reliably measured. Contract costs include costs that relate directly to the specific contract and costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a specific contract comprise: sub-contractor costs which include site labour costs, costs of materials used in construction and rental of equipment used on the contract; costs of design; site supervisor costs and technical assistance that is directly related to the contract. The Groups contracts are typically negotiated for the construction of a single asset or a group of assets which are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and function. In certain circumstances, the percentage of completion method is applied to the separately identifiable components of a single contract or to a group of contracts together in order to reflect the substance of a contract or a group of contracts.

3.9 Construction contracts (contd) Assets covered by a single contract are treated separately when: Separate proposals have been submitted for each asset; Each asset has been subject to separate negotiation and the contractor and customer have been able to accept or reject that part of the contract relating to each asset; and The costs and revenues of each asset can be identified.
A group of contracts are treated as a single construction contract when: The group of contracts are negotiated as a single package; the contracts are so closely interrelated that they are, in effect, part of a single project with an overall profit margin; and The contracts are performed concurrently or in a continuous sequence.
3.10 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. Subsequent measurement Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the loans and receivables are de-recognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

3.10 Financial assets (contd) De-recognition A financial asset is de-recognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On de-recognition 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. Regular way purchase or sale of a financial asset All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. 3.11 Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Financial assets carried at amortised cost For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised 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 financial assets 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.

3.11 Impairment of financial assets (contd) Financial assets carried at amortised cost (contd) When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset 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 the profit or loss. 3.12 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and fixed deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 3.13 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 and in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised, and through the amortisation process.

3.13 Financial liabilities (contd) De-recognition A financial liability is de-recognised 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. 3.14 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 economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 3.15 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are recognised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. 3.16 Government grants Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs which it is intended to compensate.

3.17 Employee benefits (i) Defined contribution plans The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. In particular, the Singapore companies in the Group make contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to national pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed. (ii) Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised as a liability when they accrue to the employees. The estimated liability for leave is recognised for services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period. 3.18 Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date: whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement. Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs are also added to the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to the profit or loss. Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis 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.

3.19 Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Contract revenue Accounting policy for recognising construction contract revenue is stated in Note 3.9. (ii) Project management and consultancy fees Project management and consultancy fees are recognised upon the rendering of project management and consultancy services to and acceptance by customers. (iii) Interest income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. (iv) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the Groups right to receive payment is established. 3.20 Taxes (a) Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Current income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

3.20 Taxes (contd) (b) Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts 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 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 taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary companies, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that 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 arises from 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 subsidiary companies, deferred tax assets are recognised 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.

3.20 Taxes (contd) (b) Deferred tax (contd) The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 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 tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. (c) Sales tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except: Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost 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 is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

3.21 Share capital and share issuance expenses 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. 3.22 Transactions with non-controlling interests Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiary companies not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. Changes in the Companys ownership interest in subsidiary companies that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary companies. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. 3.23 Segment reporting For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on strategic business units which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly to the management of the Company who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on the segments are shown in Note 26.

3.24 Contingencies A contingent liability is: (a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or 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 be required to settle the obligation; or The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
(b)
(ii)
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events 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 present obligations and which the fair values can be reliably determined. 3.25 Related parties A related party is defined as follows: (a) A person or a close member of that persons family is related to the Group and the Company if that person: (i) (ii) Has control or joint control over the Company; Has significant influence over the Company; or
(iii) Is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the Company or of a parent of the Company.

(ii)
(iii) Both entities are joint venture of the same third party; (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity; (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Company or an entity related to the Company. If the Company is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Company;
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); or (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity). 4. Significant accounting estimates and judgements Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Groups accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.

4.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Useful lives of plant and equipment The costs of plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and equipment to be within 3 to 5 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the construction industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of the Groups plant and equipment at the balance sheet date was S$142,789 (2011: S$52,087, 2010: S$50,955). A 20% (2011: 20%, 2010: 20%) difference in the expected useful lives of these assets from managements estimates would result in approximately 0.2% (2011: 0.5%, 2010: 1.5%) variance in the Groups profit/(loss) before taxation. Construction contracts The Group recognises contract revenue by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of each reporting period, when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs. Significant assumptions are required to estimate the total contract costs and the recoverable variation works that affect the stage of completion. In making these estimates, management has relied on past experience and knowledge of the project engineers. The carrying amount of the liabilities arising from construction contracts at the balance sheet date was disclosed in Note 12 to the financial statements.

4.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (contd) Impairment of loans and receivables The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the Groups loans and receivables at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements. Income taxes The Group has exposure to income taxes mainly in Singapore. Significant judgement is involved in determining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations 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 final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, 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 Groups tax payable and deferred tax liabilities as at 31 December 2012 was S$636,086 (2011: S$108,714, 2010: S$Nil) and S$13,701 (2011: S$Nil, 2010: S$Nil) respectively. 5.

Unrecognised temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiary companies At the end of the reporting period, no deferred tax liability (2011: S$Nil; 2010: S$Nil) has been recognised for taxes that would be payable on the undistributed earnings of the Groups subsidiary companies as the Group has determined that undistributed earnings of its subsidiary companies will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. Such temporary differences for which no deferred tax liability has been recognised aggregate to S$58,334 (2011: S$43,573; 2010: S$Nil). The deferred tax liability is estimated to be S$2,917 (2011: S$2,179; 2010: S$Nil).

Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks. It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial years, the Groups policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken. The following sections provide details regarding the Groups exposure to the abovementioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks. There has been no change to the Groups exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks. (a) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Groups exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their cash and short term deposits. Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk At the balance sheet date, if SGD interest rates had been 10 (2011: Nil, 2010: Nil) basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the Groups profit net of tax would have been S$3,320 (2011: S$Nil, 2010: S$Nil) higher/lower, as a result of higher/lower interest income on cash and short term deposits. (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Groups objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and short term deposits deemed adequate by management to finance the Groups operations and mitigate the effect of fluctuations in cash flows.

Financial risk management objectives and policies (contd) (c) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The Groups exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. The Groups objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to credit risk exposure. The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Groups exposure to bad debts is not significant. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables and cash and short term deposits represent the Groups maximum exposure to credit risk. Cash and short term deposits are placed with banks of good standing. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers financial conditions and maintains an allowance for doubtful trade receivables based upon expected collectability of all trade debts. Credit risk concentration profile The Group determines concentrations of credit risk by monitoring the country and industry sector profile of its trade receivables on an on-going basis. The credit risk concentration profile of the Groups trade receivables at the balance sheet date is as follows: 2012 S$ By country Singapore China Malaysia 17,325,084 21,026 69,184 17,415,294 By industry sector Construction 17,415,294 100 12,827,930 100 749 100 99 1 100 12,770,723 19,470 37,737 12,827,930 99 1 100 749 749 100 100 % of total S$ 2011 % of total S$ 2010 % of total
At the end of the reporting period, approximately 96% (2011: 99%, 2010: 100%) of the Groups trade receivables were due from 3 (2011: 1, 2010: 1) major customers who are multinational corporations and established developers located in Singapore. A-51

Financial risk management objectives and policies (contd) (c) Credit risk (contd) Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good payment record with the Group. Cash and short term deposits that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or companies with high credit ratings and no history of default. Financial assets that are either past due or impaired Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 13 (Trade receivables). (d) Foreign currency risk Foreign exchange risk is deemed not significant by management as the Groups sales and purchase transactions are wholly denominated in the functional currency of the respective entities. The Group has cash and short term deposits in foreign currencies for working capital purposes. The foreign currency balances are disclosed in Note 15 (Cash and short term deposits). 23. Fair values of financial instruments Fair value of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value Trade receivables (Note 13), other receivables (Note 14), cash and short term deposits (Note 15), trade and other payables (Note 16) The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values due to their short-term nature.

Capital management The primary objective of the Groups capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Figtree Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary Companies Independent Auditors Review Report on Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Figtree Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary Companies for the six-month period ended 30 June 2013 29 October 2013 The Board of Directors Figtree Holdings Limited 315 Outram Road #13-10 Tan Boon Liat Building Singapore 169074 Dear Sirs, Introduction We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet of Figtree Holdings Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary companies (collectively, the Group) as at 30 June 2013 and related interim consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and selected explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting ( FRS 34 ). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our review. Scope of review We conducted our review in accordance with Singapore Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Figtree Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary Companies Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2013 (contd) 3. Summary of significant accounting policies
3.1 Basis of preparation The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting, for the six-month period ended 30 June 2013.

3.4 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements presented for the period ended 30 June 2013 are a continuation of the existing group, comprising the financial position and the results of Figtree Projects Pte. Ltd. and its subsidiary companies. Pursuant to this, assets, liabilities, reserves, revenue and expenses of Figtree Projects Pte. Ltd. and its subsidiary companies are consolidated at their existing carrying amounts. For the purpose of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the share capital as at 30 June 2013 represents the issued and paid up share capital of Figtree Holdings Limited and Figtree Projects Pte. Ltd.. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the subsidiary companies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. Subsidiary companies 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. Losses within a subsidiary company are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that 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 company, it: De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary company at their 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;

3.4 Basis of consolidation (contd) Recognises the fair value of the consideration received; Recognises the fair value of any investment retained; Recognises any surplus of deficit in profit or loss; Re-classifies the Groups share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or accumulated profits, as appropriate.
3.5 Functional and foreign currency The Groups consolidated financial statements are presented in SGD, which is also the Companys functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiary companies and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the end of the reporting period are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss of the Group on disposal of the foreign operation.

Figtree Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary Companies Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2013 (contd) 3. Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)
3.5 Functional and foreign currency (contd) Consolidated financial statements For consolidation purpose, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into SGD at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period and their profit or loss are translated at the average exchange rates for the reporting period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions are used. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity under the header foreign currency translation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss. In the case of a partial disposal without loss of control of a subsidiary company that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interest and are not recognised in profit or loss. 3.6 Subsidiary companies A subsidiary company is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 3.7 Plant and equipment All items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, the assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying plant and equipment. The accounting policy for borrowing costs is set out in Note 3.15. The cost of an item of plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Computers Office equipment Furniture and fittings Motor vehicle 3 years 3 years 5 years 5 years

Figtree Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary Companies Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2013 (contd) 3. Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)
3.7 Plant and equipment (contd) The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes 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 economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year in which the asset is derecognised. 3.8 Impairment of non-financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell 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 from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators. The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which are prepared separately for each of the Groups cash-generating units to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

3.8 Impairment of non-financial assets (contd) An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the assets or cash-generating units recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 3.9 Construction contracts Contract revenue and contract costs are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period (the percentage of completion method), when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably. The outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably when: (i) total contract revenue can be measured reliably; (ii) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the entity; (iii) the costs to complete the contract and the stage of completion can be measured reliably; and (iv) the contract costs attributable to the contract can be clearly identified and measured reliably so that actual contract costs incurred can be compared with prior estimates. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably (principally during early stages of a contract), contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable and contract costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. An expected loss on the construction contract is recognised as an expense immediately when it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue. In applying the percentage of completion method, revenue recognised corresponds to the total contract revenue (as defined below) multiplied by the actual completion rate based on the proportion of total contract costs (as defined below) incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete. Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and they are capable of being reliably measured.

3.9 Construction contracts (contd) Contract costs include costs that relate directly to the specific contract and costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a specific contract comprise: sub-contractor costs which include site labour costs, costs of materials used in construction and rental of equipment used on the contract; costs of design; site supervisor costs and technical assistance that is directly related to the contract. The Groups contracts are typically negotiated for the construction of a single asset or a group of assets which are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and function. In certain circumstances, the percentage of completion method is applied to the separately identifiable components of a single contract or to a group of contracts together in order to reflect the substance of a contract or a group of contracts. Assets covered by a single contract are treated separately when: Separate proposals have been submitted for each asset; Each asset has been subject to separate negotiation and the contractor and customer have been able to accept or reject that part of the contract relating to each asset; and The costs and revenues of each asset can be identified.
A group of contracts are treated as a single construction contract when: The group of contracts are negotiated as a single package; the contracts are so closely interrelated that they are, in effect, part of a single project with an overall profit margin; and The contracts are performed concurrently or in a continuous sequence.
3.10 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.

3.10 Financial assets (contd) Subsequent measurement Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the loans and receivables are de-recognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. De-recognition A financial asset is de-recognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On de-recognition 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. Regular way purchase or sale of a financial asset All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. 3.11 Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Financial assets carried at amortised cost For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

3.11 Impairment of financial assets (contd) Financial assets carried at amortised cost (contd) If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised 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 financial assets 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 the impaired financial asset 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 the profit or loss. 3.12 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and fixed deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 3.13 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 and in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. B-22

3.13 Financial liabilities (contd) Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised, and through the amortisation process. De-recognition A financial liability is de-recognised 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. 3.14 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 economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 3.15 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are recognised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

3.16 Government grants Grants from government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs which it is intended to compensate. 3.17 Employee benefits (i) Defined contribution plans The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. In particular, the Singapore companies in the Group make contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to national pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed. (ii) Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised as a liability when they accrue to the employees. The estimated liability for leave is recognised for services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period. 3.18 Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date: whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement. Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs are also added to the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to the profit or loss. Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

3.18 Leases (contd) Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis 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. 3.19 Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Contract revenue Accounting policy for recognising construction contract revenue is stated in Note 3.9. (ii) Project management and consultancy fees Project management and consultancy fees are recognised upon the rendering of project management and consultancy services to and acceptance by customers. (iii) Interest income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. (iv) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the Groups right to receive payment is established.

3.20 Taxes (a) Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Current income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. (b) Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts 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 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 taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary companies, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that 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 arises from 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 B-26

3.20 Taxes (contd) (b) Deferred tax (contd) In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary companies, deferred tax assets are recognised 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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 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 tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. (c) Sales tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except: Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost 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 is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. B-27

3.21 Share capital and share issuance expenses 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. 3.22 Transactions with non-controlling interests Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiary companies not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. Changes in the Companys ownership interest in subsidiary companies that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary companies. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. 3.23 Segment reporting For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on strategic business units which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly to the management of the Company who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on the segments are shown in Note 25. 3.24 Contingencies A contingent liability is: (a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or

3.24 Contingencies (contd) (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 be required to settle the obligation; or The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
(ii)
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events 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 present obligations and which the fair values can be reliably determined. 3.25 Related parties A related party is defined as follows: (a) A person or a close member of that persons family is related to the Group and the Company if that person: (i) (ii) Has control or joint control over the Company; Has significant influence over the Company; or
(iii) Is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the Company or of a parent of the Company. (b) An entity is related to the Group and the Company if any of the following conditions applies: (i) (ii) The entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others); One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member);
(iii) Both entities are joint venture of the same third party; (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity; (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Company or an entity related to the Company. If the Company is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Company;

Significant accounting estimates and judgements Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Groups accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods. 4.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Useful lives of plant and equipment The costs of plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and equipment to be within 3 to 5 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the construction industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of the Groups plant and equipment as at 30 June 2013 was S$171,294 (31 December 2012: S$142,789). A 20% difference in the expected useful lives of these assets from managements estimates would result in approximately 0.2% (31 December 2012: 0.2%) variance in the Groups profit before taxation.

Figtree Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary Companies Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2013 (contd) 4. Significant accounting estimates and judgements (contd)
4.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (contd) Construction contracts The Group recognises contract revenue by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of each reporting period, when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs. Significant assumptions are required to estimate the total contract costs and the recoverable variation works that affect the stage of completion. In making these estimates, management has relied on past experience and knowledge of the project engineers. The carrying amount of the liabilities arising from construction contracts at the balance sheet date was disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements. Impairment of loans and receivables The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the Groups loans and receivables at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 12 to the financial statements. Income taxes The Group has exposure to income taxes mainly in Singapore. Significant judgement is involved in determining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations 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 final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, 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 Groups tax payable and deferred tax liabilities as at 30 June 2013 were S$1,523,483 (31 December 2012: S$636,086) and S$20,284 (31 December 2012: S$13,701) respectively.

Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks. It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial periods, the Groups policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken. The following sections provide details regarding the Groups exposure to the abovementioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks. There has been no change to the Groups exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks. (a) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Groups exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their cash and short term deposits. Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk At the balance sheet date, if SGD interest rates had been 10 (30 June 2012: 10) basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the Groups profit net of tax would have been S$2,179 (30 June 2012: S$1,660) higher/lower, as a result of higher/lower interest income on cash and short term deposits.

Financial risk management objectives and policies (contd) (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Groups objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and short term deposits deemed adequate by management to finance the Groups operations and mitigate the effect of fluctuations in cash flows.

The Groups exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. The Groups objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to credit risk exposure. The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Groups exposure to bad debts is not significant. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables and cash and short term deposits represent the Groups maximum exposure to credit risk. Cash and short term deposits are placed with banks of good standing. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers financial conditions and maintains an allowance for doubtful trade receivables based upon expected collectability of all trade debts. 12,762,804 12,762,804 15,610,890 12,762,804 12,762,804 15,610,890 17,415,294 2,166,008 8,792,392 28,373,694 17,415,294 2,166,008 8,792,392 28,373,694
