04 Tenacity against Adversity Chairman’s StatementDear Valued Shareholders,On behalf of the Board and Management, I am pleasedto present the Group’s first full-year results followingthe merger with <strong>Swissco</strong> International <strong>Limited</strong> on 23September 2010.The Group has grown significantly since it divested itsinfo-communication distribution business in 2009 andfocused on developing its offshore marine logistics andsupport business. The completion of the merger with<strong>Swissco</strong> International <strong>Limited</strong> firmly positioned theGroup as a premier integrated offshore support solutionsprovider. The Group now owns and manages 31 offshoresupport vessels and I am confident that we can grow theGroup given the long-term fundamentals of the oil andgas industry.Financial performanceWhile the FY2010’s financial performance included only3 month’s contributions from the acquired subsidiaries,the financial results ended 31 December 2011 reflectedthe full 12-month contributions of the Group’s threebusiness segments, namely, vessel chartering, ship repairand maintenance, and maritime services segments.The full 12-month contributions of the acquiredsubsidiaries resulted in significant improvement in ouroperating results compared to the last financial year.Group revenue increased from $12.0 million in FY2010to $64.9 million in FY2011. Revenue for FY2011comprised vessel chartering revenue of $37.3 million,ship repair and maintenance revenue of $3.2 million andrevenue from the maritime services segment of $24.4million.Gross profit and gross profit margin for the Groupin FY2011 amounted to $15.2 million and 23.4%respectively, compared to $3.0 million and 25.0% inFY2010.The Group continues its focus to renew and maintain ayoung and modern fleet. In line with its renewal program,the Group disposed of 9 vessels during the year whichresulted in a one-off gain of $4.9 million.The resultant net profit before income tax of $10.8 millionfor FY2011 was an improvement over FY2010’s profitbefore income tax of $15.1 million which included a oneoffnegative goodwill of $20.4 million arising from theCompany’s merger with <strong>Swissco</strong> International <strong>Limited</strong>.Robert Chua Swee ChongExecutive Director and Executive ChairmanAssociated company and joint ventures - The Group’s 50%owned joint venture Hadi International Marine ServicesPte Ltd generated a net profit of $0.2 million in FY2011compared to a $0.5 million loss in FY2010 due mainly togain on disposal of a vessel.Financial positionProceeds from the disposal of vessels from the Group fleetwere used to repay bank loans as well as fund new vesselbuildings. These resulted in lower total assets and totalliabilities as at 31 December 2011.


05The Group has significant vessel building commitmentscatered for fleet expansion and trading purposes. Themanagement believes that the Company has adequateresources to meet its financial obligations and as theCompany delivers vessels committed for sale, the Group’sfinancial position will be further strengthened.DividendGiven the positive performance this year, the Directorshave recommended a first and final dividend of 0.3 centsper share to be approved at the forthcoming AnnualGeneral Meeting on 30 April 2012.“The Group continues to forge ahead in charting newavenues of growth on the back of its enlarged fleet. Weare well-positioned to capitalise any opportunities in theyears ahead.”Outlook and ProspectsUncertainty in the global economy remains and althoughthe Group experienced an increase in demand for vessels inFY2011, management expects charter rates to stay subdueduntil the industry reaches its long-awaited equilibrium indemand and supply. Recent market reports reinforce thisexpectation of continued improvement in activities in theoil and gas sectors and lower growth in global fleet. Themedium- to long term fundamentals of the offshore marketoutlook in Asia remain intact, supported by explorationand production spending and a resilient oil price.The Group took advantage of the prevailing marketconditions and positioned itself for demand in FY2013and beyond. By periodically reviewing fleet size andcomposition and as part of the Group’s renewal program,the Group disposed of 9 vessels during 2011 to part fundbuildings of vessels with better specifications. However,in so doing, the Group’s fleet has been reduced in FY2012and this is expected to have an impact on FY2012’s charterincome subject to market forces on charter rate.The Group’s maritime services division is expected tocontribute significantly to its earnings in FY2012. TheGroup has delivered 3 vessels during the last quarter of2011 and demand for vessels is expected to continue into2012.As at 31 December 2011, the Group owns 27 millionshares, representing 5.33%, in Swiber <strong>Holdings</strong> <strong>Limited</strong>.In February 2012, the Group divested of 2 million Swibershares, reducing its shareholding interest to 4.94%. Theproceeds from the divestment amounting to approximately$1.43 million were used to fund the fleet renewal andexpansion program of its core business. The Group mayfurther divest this investment to provide cash for thebuilding of new vessels when such need and opportunityarises.Acknowledgement and AppreciationIn conclusion, I would like to thank all our customers,business associates, suppliers and shareholders for theirunwavering support and confidence in the Group.The Group’s ship repair and maintenance divisioncontinues to provide repair and maintenance services atthe Group’s present yard facilities. Although activities arelimited by the present facilities, the yard will continue tofocus on higher value-add work and improve productivityto maximise earnings.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011

12 How We Got Here Operations Review“Utilisation for the Group’s vessels improved in FY2011and there are encouraging signs of continued improvementin the oil and gas sector in the near term.”IntroductionThe Company was incorporated in Singapore on 20 April2004 and was listed on SGX-Sesdaq (now known as SGX-Catalist) on 1 November 2004. The Group started as adistributor of info-communications products.In 2008, the Group disposed of its distribution businessand focus on offshore vessel chartering and the associatedoffshore marine logistics and support services. The oil andgas and petrochemical industries offered good prospectdue to an increase in oil and gas exploration, drilling,development and production activities globally.The Company entered into a joint venture agreement inApril 2008 with Hadi Hamad Al Hammam Establishment(Hadi), a group based in Saudi Arabia which supports thedrilling operations of Saudi Aramco, one of the world’slargest producers of oil. The joint venture owns andoperates offshore support vessels (“OSVs”) chartered toHadi and are being operated in Saudi Arabian waters.The Company successfully completed its merger with<strong>Swissco</strong> International <strong>Limited</strong> on 23 September 2010and firmly positioned the Group as a premier integratedoffshore support solutions provider.

Utilisation for the Group’s vessels improved in FY2011 and there areencouraging signs of continued improvement in the oil and gas sector in the near term. As part of the Group’s renewalprogram, 9 vessels were disposed during 2011 to part fund buildings of vessels with better specifications. The disposalreduced our operating fleet from 37 (as at 31 Dec 2010) to 31 (as at 31 Dec 2011) and this is expected to have an impacton FY2012’s charter income subject to market forces on charter rate.The fundamentals of the offshore support vessel market outlook remain intact and the Group will remain fully committedto expansion both in strategic geographic markets and fleet capabilities and size. We will continue to focus on improvingefficiencies and seek strategic alliances to improve vessel utilisation.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011


16 How We Got Here Operations ReviewShip repair and maintenanceOur subsidiary, Singapore Marine Logistics Pte Ltd (SMLog) operates our ship repair and maintenance yards at 58 and60 Penjuru Lane, Singapore and has the capability to carry out both dry docking and afloat repair. With 2 slipways and a3,000 DWT docking yard, the facilities cater to our fleet as well as third party vessels plying this region. The repair worksthat we mainly undertake include retrofitting, renewal works, blasting and painting, electrical and electronic works, andmechanical works.Revenue and profits from the ship repair and maintenance segment, which was acquired on 23 September 2010, forFY2011 and FY2010 are as follows:($’million)RevenueNet profitFY2011(12 months ended 31Dec 2011)$3.2$0.8FY2010(3 months from 24 Sep 2010to 31 Dec 2010)$0.8$0.4The value of average monthly repair jobs remains comparable to last year. Repair works completed by the yard in FY2011remains low during 2011 as vessel owners continues to maintain a low budget for repair and maintenance frequency.Higher operating costs especially in areas of compliance of more stringent safety requirements affected project margins.The Group will continue to train and develop staff to reduce dependency on third party contractors so as to increase valueaddand improve operational efficiency.Maritime servicesThis segment’s services include:• Rendering of services, where we earn agent fees from sourcing for marine and offshore equipment for various offshoreprojects and from the provision of supplies and consumables; and• Sale of vessels business, where it sources for vessels for sale to our customers.Revenue and profits from the maritime services segment for FY2011 and FY2010 are as follows:($’million)RevenueNet profitFY2011(12 months ended 31Dec 2011)$24.4$2.8FY2010(10 months ended31 Dec 2010)$0.9$(0.2)Maritime service segment delivered three vessels during the last quarter of 2011 and demand for vessels is expected tocontinue into 2012.This segment complements the chartering and repair segments as customers are offered vessels for charter and repairsolutions tailored to their needs in addition to just sourcing arrangement. The Group will focus on building this segmentand grow this into a sustainable business.


17Financial positionThe Company drew down a bridging loan of $105 million to fund the acquisition of <strong>Swissco</strong> International <strong>Limited</strong> inSeptember 2010. This loan increased the Group’s borrowing to $129 million as at 31 December 2010.The Group has disposed of nine vessels in FY2011 as of its fleet renewal program and a portion of the proceeds from thesedisposals were used to repay the respective secured bank loans and to fund progress payments of new vessel buildings.These repayments and monthly servicing of term loans with cash generated from operations reduced the Group’s bankborrowings and as at 31 December 2011 the total Group borrowings decreased to $95.5 million.Coupled with lower market price of the financial assets available for sale, the disposals resulted in decreased of theGroup’s total assets to $224.3 million.In February 2012, the Group divested 2 million shares in Swiber <strong>Holdings</strong> <strong>Limited</strong> shares and presently holds 25 millionSwiber shares. The proceeds from the divestment amounting to approximately $1.43 million were used to fund the fleetrenewal and expansion program of its core business. The Group may further divest this investment when the need andopportunity arises, and together with cash generated from operations and proceeds from disposal of older vessels, toprovide cash for the Group’s renewal and expansion program.The Group is mindful of its financial obligations as well as its needs for fleet expansion. It is continuously seeking tobalance its long term and short term borrowings to strengthen its working capital position and through planned expansionand growth of its key segments, strengthen the Group’s financial position in the longer term.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Noindividual or small group of individuals should be allowed to dominate the Board’s decisionmaking.The Board comprises six directors of whom two are independent, namely, Messrs Oh Choon Gan and Lim How Teck.The criterion of independence is based on the definition set out in the Code. The Board considers an “independent”director as one who has no relationship with the Company, its related companies or its officers who could interfere,or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment in the conduct ofthe Group’s affairs.

The said form, which was drawn up based on the definitions and guidelines set forth in Guideline 2.1in the Code and the Guidebook for Audit Committees in Singapore issued by Audit Committee Guidance Committee(“Guidebook”), requires each Director to assess whether he considers himself independent despite not having anyof the relationships identified in the Code. The Nominating Committee has reviewed the forms completed by eachDirector and is satisfied that at least one-third of the Board comprises Independent Directors.

CorporateGovernance Report33The AC has full authority to investigate any matter within its terms of reference, full access to and co-operation fromManagement and full discretion to invite any director, executive officer or other employee of the Group to attend itsmeetings, and is given reasonable resources to enable it to discharge its functions properly and effectively.In July 2010, the Singapore Exchange <strong>Limited</strong> and Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority has launchedthe Guidance to Audit Committees on Evaluation of Quality of Work performed by External Auditors” which aims tofacilitate the AC in evaluating the external auditors. Accordingly, the AC had evaluated the performance of the externalauditors based on the key indicators of audited quality set out in the Guidance.The AC has reviewed the nature of non-audit services rendered by the external auditors and is of the opinion that suchservices would not affect the independence of the external auditors. Having assessed the external auditors basedon factors such as performance and quality of their audit and their independence, the AC has recommended to theBoard, the nomination of the external auditors for re-appointment at the forthcoming AGM.In compliance with Rule 1207(6) of the SGX-ST Listing Manual, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee,having reviewed the adequacy of the resources and experience of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the audit engagementpartner assigned to the audit, their other audit engagements, the size and complexity of the Group, and the numberand experience of supervisory and professional staff assigned to the audit, were satisfied that the Group had compliedwith Rules 712 and 715 of the SGX-ST Listing Manual.The AC met the external auditors in February 2012 without the presence of the Company’s Management to review anymatters that may be raised privately.The AC has reviewed the Company’s whistle-blowing policy where the staff of the Company may, in confidence, raiseconcerns about possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting or other matters, with the objective of ensuringthat arrangements are in place for the independent investigation of such matters for appropriate follow-up action.12. INTERNAL CONTROLSPrinciple 12:The Board should ensure that Management maintains a sound system of internal controls tosafeguard the shareholders’ investment and the company’s assets.The Group’s internal controls and systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity andreliability of the financial information and to safeguard and maintain accountability of assets. Procedures are in placeto identify major business risks and evaluate potential fi nancial effects, as well as for the authorisation of capitalexpenditure and investments.The Board notes that no system of internal control can provide absolute assurance against the occurrence of materialerrors, poor judgment in decision-making, human error, fraud or other irregularities.The Board believes that, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, the system of internal controls maintainedby the Group’s Management provides reasonable assurance against material fi nancial misstatements or loss,safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, reliability of financial information, compliancewith legislation, regulations and best practices and the identification and management of business risks.The Board and the AC is therefore of the view that the Group’s internal control systems including financial, operationaland compliance controls and risk management for the year ended 31 December 2011 is adequate and effective tosafeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group’s assets.13. INTERNAL AUDITPrinciple 13:The Company should establish an internal audit function that is independent of the activities itaudits.The Company has outsourced its internal audit function to a professional service firm, Stone Forest Consulting Pte Ltdon 28 February 2011.

48Notes to theFinancial StatementsFOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 20112. Significant accounting policies (continued)2.3 Group accounting (continued)(a)Subsidiaries (continued)(ii)AcquisitionsThe acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by theGroup.The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary or business comprises the fairvalue of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by theGroup. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent considerationarrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a businesscombination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisitiondate.On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interestin the acquiree at the date of acquisition either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’sproportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in theacquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree overthe fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Please refer to theparagraph “Intangible assets - Goodwill” for the subsequent accounting policy on goodwill.If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifi able assets of the subsidiaryacquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recogniseddirectly in profit or loss as negative goodwill.(iii)DisposalsWhen a change in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control overthe subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary including any goodwill are derecognised.Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are also reclassifiedto profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings if required by a specific Standard.Any retained interest in the entity is re-measured at fair value. The difference between the carryingamount of the retained interest at the date when control is lost and its fair value is recognised inprofit or loss.Please refer to the paragraph “Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associatedcompanies” for the accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries in the separate fi nancialstatements of the Company.(b)Transactions with non-controlling interestsChanges in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control over thesubsidiary are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. Any difference betweenthe change in the carrying amounts of the non-controlling interest and the fair value of the considerationpaid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the equity holders of theCompany.

Significant accounting policies (continued)2.3 Group accounting (continued)(c)Associated companies and joint venturesAssociated companies are entities over which the Group has signifi cant infl uence, but not control,generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to voting rights of 20% and above but notexceeding 50%.Joint ventures are entities over which the Group has contractual arrangements to jointly share the controlover the economic activity of the entities with one or more parties.Investments in associated companies and joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated financialstatements using the equity method of accounting less impairment losses.(i)AcquisitionsInvestments in associated companies and joint ventures are initially recognised at cost. Thecost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issuedor liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to theacquisition. Goodwill on associated companies or joint ventures represents the excess of thecost of acquisition of the associate or joint venture over the Group’s share of the fair value of theidentifiable net assets of the associate or joint venture and is included in the carrying amount ofthe investments.(ii)Equity method of accountingIn applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of its associated companies’and joint ventures’ post-acquisition profits or losses are recognised in profit or loss and its shareof post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income.These post-acquisition movements and distributions received from the associated companies andjoint ventures are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’sshare of losses in an associated company or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in theassociated company or joint venture, including any other unsecured non-current receivables,the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has obligations or has made payments onbehalf of the associated company or joint venture.Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associated companies and jointventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associated companies and jointventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of animpairment of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of associated companies and jointventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policiesadopted by the Group.(iii)DisposalsInvestments in associated companies and joint ventures are derecognised when the Group losessignificant influence or joint control. Any retained equity interest in the entity is remeasured at itsfair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest at the date whensignificant influence or joint control is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss.Gains and losses arising from partial disposals or dilutions in investments in associatedcompanies and joint ventures in which signifi cant infl uence or joint control is retained arerecognised in profit or loss.Please refer to the paragraph “Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associatedcompanies” for the accounting policy on investments in associated companies and joint venturesin the separate financial statements of the Company.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Cost also includes borrowing coststhat are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (Note2.11).(c)DepreciationDepreciation on property, plant and equipment items is calculated using the straight-line method toallocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives as follows:Vessels/bargesLeasehold buildingLeasehold improvementsMotor vehiclesFurniture, fittings and computersPlant and equipmentUseful lives15 - 25 years30 years5 years5 years3 - 10 years5 yearsThe residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipmentare reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision arerecognised in profit or loss when the changes arise.The vessels/barges are subject to overhauls at regular intervals. The inherent components of the initialdry docking are determined based on the estimated costs of the next dry docking and are separatelydepreciated over a period of 5 years in order to reflect the estimated interval between two dry dockings.The costs of the dry dockings subsequently incurred are capitalised as additions and the carryingamounts of replaced components of the vessel are written off to profit or loss.

Allother repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.(f)DisposalOn disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the disposal proceedsand its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss within ‘Other gains/(losses) - net’.2.6 Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companiesInvestments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies are carried at cost less accumulatedimpairment losses in the Company’s balance sheet.On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies, the difference betweenthe disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments is recognised in profit or loss.2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets(a)GoodwillGoodwill recognised separately as an intangible asset is tested for impairment annually and wheneverthere is indication that the goodwill may be impaired.For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cashgenerating-units(“CGU”) expected to benefit from synergies arising from the business combination.An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of a CGU, including the goodwill, exceedsthe recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CHU is the higher of the CGU’s fairvalue less cost to sell and value-in-use.The total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocatedto the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount ofeach asset in the CGU.An impairment loss on goodwill is recognised as an expense and is not reversed in a subsequent period.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Significant accounting policies (continued)2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)(b)Property, plant and equipmentInvestments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies2.8 Financial assetsProperty, plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companiesare tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets maybe impaired.For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value lesscost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does notgenerate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, therecoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating-unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, thecarrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount.The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairmentloss in profit or loss.An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a changein the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss wasrecognised. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, providedthat this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of anyaccumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prioryears.A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss.(a)ClassificationThe Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables and financialassets, available-for-sale. The classifi cation depends on the nature of the asset and the purpose forwhich the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initialrecognition.(i)Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable paymentsthat are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for thoseexpected to be realised later than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are presentedas non-current assets. Loans and receivables are presented as “trade and other receivables” and“cash and cash equivalents” on the balance sheet.(ii)Financial assets, available-for-saleFinancial assets, available-for-sale, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this categoryor not classified in any of the other categories. They are presented as non-current assets unlessthe investment matures or management intends to dispose of the assets within 12 months afterthe balance sheet date.


Notes to theFinancial StatementsFOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011532. Significant accounting policies (continued)2.8 Financial assets (continued)(b)Recognition and de-recognitionRegular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on whichthe Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets haveexpired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards ofownership. On disposal of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the saleproceeds is recognised in profi t or loss. Any amount in other comprehensive income relating to thatasset is reclassified to profit or loss.(c)Initial measurementFinancial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs.(d)Subsequent measurementFinancial assets, available-for-sale are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables aresubsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.Dividend income on financial assets, available-for-sale are recognised separately in income. Changesin fair values of available-for-sale equity securities (i.e. non-monetary items) are recognised in othercomprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve, together with the related currencytranslation differences.(e)ImpairmentThe Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a fi nancialasset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when suchevidence exists.(i)Loans and receivablesSignifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy,and default or significant delay in payments are objective evidence that these financial assets areimpaired.The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowanceaccount which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present valueof estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. When the assetbecomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries ofamounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in profit or loss.The impairment allowance is reduced through profi t or loss in a subsequent period when theamount of impairment loss decreases and the related decrease can be objectively measured. Thecarrying amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carryingamount does not exceed the amortised cost had no impairment been recognised in prior periods.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Significant accounting policies (continued)2.8 Financial assets (continued)(e)Impairment (continued)(ii)Financial assets, available-for-saleIn addition to the objective evidence of impairment described in Note 2.8(e)(i), a signifi cantor prolonged decline in the fair value of an equity security below its cost is considered as anindicator that the financial asset, available-for-sale is impaired.If any evidence of impairment exists, the cumulative loss that was previously recognised inother comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The cumulative loss is measured asthe difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayments and amortisation)and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised as an expense. Theimpairment losses recognised as an expense on equity securities are not reversed through profitor loss.2.9 BorrowingsBorrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlementfor at least 12 months after the balance sheet date, in which case they are presented as non-current liabilities.Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortisedcost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised inprofit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.2.10 Trade and other payablesTrade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end offinancial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less(or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost usingthe effective interest method.2.11 Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are recognised in profi t or loss using the effective interest method except for those coststhat are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. This includesthose costs on borrowings acquired specifically for the construction of property, plant and equipment, as wellas those in relation to general borrowings used to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment.Borrowing costs on general borrowings are capitalised by applying a capitalisation rate to constructionexpenditures that are financed by general borrowings.2.12 Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilitiesThe fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as exchange-traded and over-the-countersecurities and derivatives) are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted marketprices used for financial assets are the current bid prices; the appropriate quoted market prices for financialliabilities are the current asking prices.The fair values of current financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate their carryingamounts.

The fi nance expense is recognised in profi t or loss on a basis that refl ects a constantperiodic rate of interest on the finance lease liability.Operating leasesLeases where substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessors areclassified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives receivedfrom the lessors) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.Contingent rents are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when incurred.(b)When the Group is the lessor:2.14 InventoriesThe Group leases certain property, plant and equipment under operating leases to non-related parties.Operating leasesLeases of property, plant and equipment where the Group retains substantially all risks and rewardsincidental to ownership are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases (net ofany incentives given to the lessees) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the leaseterm.Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases are added to thecarrying amount of the leased assets and recognised as an expense in profit or loss over the lease termon the same basis as the lease income.Contingent rents are recognised as income in profit or loss when earned.Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the fi rst-in,fi rst-out method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, lessapplicable variable selling expenses.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Significant accounting policies (continued)2.15 Income taxesCurrent income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to orrecovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the balance sheet date.Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets andliabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arisesfrom the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combinationand affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries,joint ventures and associated companies, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversalof the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeablefuture.A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will beavailable against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.Deferred income tax is measured:(i)(ii)at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised orthe deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted by the balance sheet date; andbased on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at thebalance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to the extentthat the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised directly in equity. Deferredtax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.2.16 Employee compensationEmployee benefits are recognised as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalised as an asset.(a)Defined contribution plansDefi ned contribution plans are post-employment benefi t plans under which the Group pays fi xedcontributions into separate entities such as the Central Provident Fund on a mandatory, contractual orvoluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.(b)Share-based compensationThe Group operates equity-settled, share-based compensation plans. The fair value of the employeeservices received in exchange for the grant of options and performance shares is recognised as anexpense with a corresponding increase in reserves over the vesting period. The total amount to berecognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair values of the options andperformance shares granted on the respective dates of grant.At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expectedto become excisable and performance share plan awards that are expected to vest on the vestingdates, and recognises the impact of the revision of the estimates in profit and loss, with a correspondingadjustment to reserves over the remaining vesting period.

80Notes to theFinancial StatementsFOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 201129. Financial risk management (continued)(a)Market risk (continued)(i)Currency risk (continued)At 31 December 2011, if the USD had strengthened/weakened by 5% (2010: 5%) against theSGD with all other variable including tax rate being held constant, the Group’s profi t after taxfor the financial period would have been $347,050 (2010: $619,300) lower/higher as a result ofnet currency translation effects on the net financial liability position of the Group denominated inUSD.(ii)Price riskThe Group is exposed to equity securities price risk on investments classified as financial assets,available-for-sale. These securities are listed in Singapore. The Group monitors closely theperformance of the investee company, including its trading price. The Group is not exposed tocommodity price risk.If prices for the equity securities listed in Singapore had changed by 10% (2010: 8%) respectivelywith all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the Group’s equity would have been$1,444,500 (31 December 2010: $2,181,600) higher/lower.The Company is not exposed to equity securities and commodity price risks.(iii)Cash flow interest rate risksCash fl ow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk thatthe fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As theGroup has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flowsare substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.The Group is exposed to cash fl ow interest rate risk arising mainly from its variable-rateborrowings. The Group may enter into derivative contracts to hedge its interest rate risks.If the interest rates had increased/decreased by 1% (31 December 2010: 1%) with all othervariables including tax rate being held constant, the profi t after tax will be lower/higher by$955,000 (31 December 2010: $1,294,000) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on theseborrowings.(b)Credit riskCredit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting infi nancial loss to the Group. For trade receivables, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only withcustomers of appropriate credit history, and obtaining sufficient security where appropriate to mitigatecredit risk. For other financial assets, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with high credit qualitycounterparties. The Group regularly monitors the counterparty’s payment profile and credit exposure atthe entity level.As the Group and the Company do not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk for eachclass of financial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of financial instruments presented onthe balance sheet, except for the corporate guarantees of the Group and Company disclosed in Note 28.The Group’s and Company’s major classes of financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, financialassets, available-for-sale and trade and other receivables.

Business combinationIn the previous financial period, on 23 September 2010, the Group acquired 100% equity interest in <strong>Swissco</strong>International Pte Ltd (“SIL”), formerly known as <strong>Swissco</strong> International <strong>Limited</strong> which is listed on the SingaporeExchange. SIL was subsequently delisted from the Singapore Exchange on 24 September 2010. The principalactivities of SIL and its subsidiaries (“SIL group”) consist mainly of ship owning and operating activities.Management believed that the acquisition was synergistic as it would allow the Company and SIL group toleverage on each other’s strength in the offshore and marine sector. As a result of the acquisition, the Group isexpected to increase its presence in South-East Asia.The purchase consideration was satisfi ed by the issuance of 27,932,169 new ordinary shares (“ShareConsideration”) and a cash consideration of $164,155,091 (“Cash Consideration”).The Company also paid the holders of SIL options (“Optionholders”) an amount in cash (the “OptionConsideration”) for all the outstanding and unexercised options granted to and held by the Optionholders,vested or otherwise and in consideration thereof, the Optionholders waived all rights to exercise such optionsinto new shares and surrendered their options for cancellation.SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011

The grosscontractual amount for trade and other receivables was $17,742,000, of which $1,925,000 was expectedto be uncollectible.(f)Negative goodwillThe Company negotiated for a favourable purchase consideration for the business, resulting in anegative goodwill of $20,371,000, which was included in “Other gains/losses - net” in the consolidatedstatement of comprehensive income for the financial period from 1 March 2010 to 31 December 2010.(g)Revenue and profit contributionThe acquired business contributed revenue of $11,081,000 and net profit of $1,998,000 to the Group forthe period from 23 September 2010 to 31 December 2010.Had SIL group been consolidated from 1 March 2010, consolidated revenue and consolidated profit forthe ten months ended 31 December 2010 would have been $37,723,000 and $24,077,000 respectively.33. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgementsEstimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experienceand other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances. The critical areas for the Group are as follows:(a)Useful lives and residual valuesThe Group reviews the useful lives and residual values of its vessels and barges at each financial yearendand any adjustments are made on a prospective basis. If estimates of the residual values arerevised, the amount of depreciation expenses in the future periods will be changed.The useful lives of the vessels and barges are assessed periodically based on the condition of thevessels and barges, market conditions and other regulatory requirements. If the estimates of useful livesfor the vessels and barges are revised or there is a change in useful lives, the amount of depreciationexpense recorded in future periods will be changed. The net book value of property, plant andequipment at 31 December 2011 is $132,431,000 (2010: $173,074,000) and the depreciation charge forthe year ended 31 December 2011 is $9,153,000 (2010: $2,772,000) (Note 18).(b)Income taxesThe Group has exposure to incomes taxes primarily in Singapore. In determining the income taxliabilities, management is required to estimate the amount of taxable income and capital allowances andthe deductibility of certain expenses.For certain entities within the Group, there are open years of assessment that have yet been agreed withthe tax authority. Significant judgement is required in determining the income tax liabilities for theseopen years arising from taxability of income (including gains arising on disposal of vessels) and capitalallowances (“uncertain tax positions”).SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2011


92Notes to theFinancial StatementsFOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 201133. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements (continued)(b)Income taxes (continued)In 2010, the tax authority raised an amended assessment to a subsidiary for the financial year ended31 December 2003 amounting to S$600,000. The additional tax assessed by the tax authority relatessubstantially to the taxability of gains on disposal of vessels in that year. A provision for the additionaltax assessed has been made as at 31 December 2011. However, the management believes that the taxposition taken by the Group that the gains on disposal of vessels are capital in nature, is sustainable.Consequently, no additional tax provisions have been made by the Group for the uncertain tax positionsof the remaining open years.Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised,such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax balances in the period in which suchdetermination is made.(c)Impairment of available-for sale financial assetsAt the balance sheet date, the fair values of certain equity securities classifi ed as available-for-salefinancial assets amounting to $14,445,000 have declined below cost by $14,715,000. The Group hasmade a judgment that this decline is not significant or prolonged. In making this judgment, the Grouphas considered, among other factors, the short-term duration of the decline, the magnitude by whichthe fair value of the investment is below cost; and the positive financial health and short-term businessoutlook of the investee.If the decline in fair value below cost was considered significant or prolonged, the Group would suffer anadditional loss of $14,715,000 in its 2011 financial statements, being the reclassification of the fair valueloss included in the fair value reserve to profit or loss.34. New or revised standards and interpretationsBelow are the mandatory standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that have beenpublished, and are relevant for the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 or laterperiods and which the Group has not early adopted:•Amendments to IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on orafter 1 July 2012)• FRS 19 (revised 2011) Employee Benefits (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January2013)• FRS 27 (revised 2011) Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after1 January 2013)• FRS 28 (revised 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after 1 January 2013)• FRS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January2013)The management anticipates that the adoption of the above FRSs, INT FRSs and amendments to FRS in thefuture periods will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inthe period of their initial adoption.35.
