02 Chairman’s Statement FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The Group achieved a lower turnover of $69.0 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2008, a decrease of $16.3 million or 19% over the $85.3 million recorded for the same period in 2007. Profit after taxation declined by $7.7 million from $34.7 million in 2007 to $27.0 million in 2008. While higher operating contributions came from the Group’s Hospitality business, Property Development did not do as well and Property Investment contribution was flat. The Group’s share of $2.1 million loss is mainly due to an associated company, Yeo Hiap Seng Limited (“YHS”), compared to a profit of $1.9 million a year ago added to the decline. Loss in YHS was largely caused by revaluation and impairment losses. At Group level, net asset value per share for 2008 was $2.33 compared to $2.15 in 2007. Earnings per share both weighted and on a fully diluted basis, in 2008 were 7.68 cents. HOSPITALITY Mr. Philip Ng Chee Tat Executive Chairman Revenue from the Hospitality business in 2008 was $55.3 million, an improvement of $6.7 million from $48.6 million in 2007. Consequently, net operating profit went up by $7.0 million, from $27.2 million in 2007 to $34.2 million in 2008. The Group’s hospitality assets are well located and for the most part of 2008 were generating good rates and high occupancies. Major events like the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix held in September 2008 helped to lift the performance. Orchard Parade Hotel’s average occupancy held at 88% while Albert Court Hotel declined marginally by one percentage point to 87%. Occupancy at the serviced residences at Central Square lost some ground, from 94% in 2007 to 86% in 2008. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT Revenue of the Group’s Property Development Division fell from $26.0 million in 2007 to $2.1 million in 2008. Net operating loss was $0.5 million. ANNUAL REPORT 2008 ORCHARD PARADE HOLDINGS LIMITED
The Group sold 12 units of The Floridian in 2008, or a total of 17 units since the project was launched out of the 336 units in the development. PROPERTY INVESTMENT The Group’s investment assets comprising office, retail and food & beverage units in Orchard Parade Hotel, Albert Court Hotel and Central Square yielded a rental income of $10.8 million in 2008, slightly better than $9.7 million in 2007. Net operating profit of this division was $23.6 million, $1.2 million lower than the $24.8 million in 2007, primarily because the fair value gain arising from revaluation of the Group’s investment properties dropped by $3.1 million from $18.9 million in 2007 to $15.8 million in 2008. DIVIDEND No dividend was recommended by the Directors in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2008. ORCHARD PARADE HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008 OUTLOOK FOR 2009 At the time of this report, the economic outlook continued to remain uncertain. The Group will remain vigilant and manage costs to prepare for the difficult period ahead as it rides on its competitive advantages to maximize returns. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend a warm welcome to two new directors who joined the Board during the year, Mr. Lucas Chow Wing Keung and Mr. Eddie Yong Chee Hiong. Their extensive experience and valuable insights will stand us in good stead and we look forward to their contributions in the years ahead. I also wish to extend my appreciation to all our tenants, customers, business associates, shareholders and the staff for their unwavering support.
