CEO’s MessageDear ShareholdersFoundation Laid For Future GrowthThe Group achieved record business growth in FY2006.Group revenue grew 24% to $623 million. Group EBITDArose 41% to $77 million.In 2006, we made good progress towards building a globalhealthy lifestyle business. In establishing this businessfoundation, the Group is focused on executing a mediumtermgrowth strategy. As with any endeavour of this duration,some short-term volatility in performance from quarter toquarter should be expected. In view of this, full year resultsover the medium term are a better indicator of groupperformance.2006 Business Review: Strong PerformanceThe OSIM core business registered broad-based growth inall key markets. Full year revenue increased 24% to $623million. In the second half of 2006, inferior quality andunsubstantiated product claims by imitators caused adversemedia publicity and negative market sentiments in NorthAsia. This disrupted our performance in North Asia in Q42006 but I believe this incident, in the longer term, willfurther differentiate the OSIM brand in terms of innovationand quality.New innovative healthy lifestyle products were launchedthroughout the year, including the uPilot massage chair,iGogo massaging MP3 player and the uZap Mini, an innovativefollow-up to the successful uZap. The OSIM outlets registereda net increase of 98 retail units to 686 as we continued toadd to our global point-of-sale network. Inclusive of Brookstoneand GNC stores under Global Active Limited (GAL), wecompleted 2006 with 1,135 outlets in 362 cities over 28countries. With our expanding international franchise, a newOSIM outlet was opened at the exclusive Harrods departmentstore in London in 2006.With the benefit of a restructuring in FY2005, the net profitof $4.5 million in FY2006 confirmed that the turnaround isfirmly in place at GAL. I expect the improvement to besustainable into the current year.At Brookstone, we put in place new leadership early in 2006.The latest results are encouraging. Brookstone posted recordrevenue of US$512 million in FY2006, up 9% over theCEO’s Message 19 Annual Report 2006


previous year. Q4 2006 revenue rose 13% to US$256 million.Equally impressive is the Q4 same store growth of 6.7%,making it the third successive quarter of same store growth.The figures clearly confirm that the business is gainingtraction. In 2006, Brookstone was profitable, cash positiveand growing.Throughout the Group, we put processes in place to groomour people, ensuring that as we grow, they grow. We recognisethat the performance of each and every individual not onlycontinues to contribute to our growth, but played a substantialrole in our performance in the year.To reward shareholders, your Directors have proposed a finaldividend of 1.48 cents per share or $8 million in payout.Combined with the interim dividend of $7 million, the totaldividend payout of $15 million for FY2006 represents anincrease of 115% over FY2005.CEO’s Message 20 Annual Report 2006


Taking OSIM To The Next LevelIn 2007, we will continue to capitalise on the foundation wehave laid to build a global healthy lifestyle business. Throughour international franchise, we expect to expand our globalpresence from 28 countries at end 2006 to more than 33countries by end 2007.As we move into new countries, we will also seek to deepenour penetration and increase our market share in the countriesin which we are already present by opening suitable outletsin existing and new cities. In all, we expect to collectivelyadd more than 100 outlets under OSIM, Brookstone andGNC in 2007.The OSIM core business will focus on executing the consistentlaunch of two new key innovative healthy lifestyle productsevery quarter to benefit from our expanding global point-ofsalesnetwork.Productivity or revenue per outlet is an important indicatorof the quality of our growth. We will continue to work on themarketing process and selling culture to improve the overallefficiency of our outlets. In particular, the Group is workingclosely with Brookstone management to steadily improvequarterly performance, especially the first three quarters ofthe year, first to reduce the losses in the first three quartersand eventually target for quarterly profitability.With our processes in place through 2007 to promote growthand performance, we will continue to nurture our people toperform at their best to bring OSIM to the next level. Whilewe expect our performance to remain volatile from quarterto quarter, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Groupexpects profit after tax for the full year of 2007 to be higherthan 2006.Thank YouWe have encountered many challenges in the past 12 months,and I am pleased to acknowledge the dedication of ourmanagement and staff in meeting these challenges. To eachand every member of Team OSIM, I express my heartfeltappreciation for your commitment and hard work. On behalfof my fellow directors, I would also like to thank our bankers,business associates, suppliers and shareholders for theirsteadfast support and encouragement.Ron Sim Chye HockFounder & CEOCEO’s Message 21 Annual Report 2006

ProfitabilityIn FY2006, buoyant revenue growth and improving operatingefficiencies resulted in group EBITDA rising 41% to $77million. The improvement in performance was firmly supportedby an expanding OSIM global point-of-sales network and theintroduction of numerous innovative healthy lifestyle productsduring the year.With the benefit of a restructuring in FY2005, Global ActiveLimited turned around from a loss of $4 million in FY2005to a net profit of $4.5 million in FY2006.Higher finance expenses were incurred in FY2006 due tobank borrowings to fund the acquisition of the stake in OSIMBrookstone LP.The Group equity accounts the results of its Joint VentureOSIM Brookstone LP. In FY2006, Brookstone’s revenue wasa record US$512 million and net profit was US$2 million.The company posted its third successive positive same storegrowth in 4Q FY2006. It achieved an annual 1.8% positivesame store growth, a significant improvement over thenegative 8% recorded in 2005.More importantly, Brookstone is profitable and cash positivein FY2006. It paid US$22m of bond interest expenses duringthe year. Notwithstanding Brookstone’s profitability underUS accounting rules, when OSIM equity accounts its shareof Brookstone’s results under S<strong>FR</strong>S (Singapore FinancialReporting Standards), the rules are different from US GAAPand it has to recognise payment (“OBH cumulative dividend”)to preference shareholders as a financial interest expense,thereby resulting in a share of loss in joint venture of $12.6million.After accounting for Associates & Joint Venture using thismethodology, Group net profit after tax declined 28% to$33.8 million in FY2006.Excluding OBH cumulative dividend, Group net profit aftertax would have been $47.5 million in FY2006 or a decreaseof 5% vs 2005.Performance Review 32 Annual Report 2006

Risk FactorsIndustry specific risksCompany specific risks1. Changes in consumer tastesAs with all other consumer products, sales of our products aredependent on consumers’ demand for our products and aresusceptible to changes in consumer tastes. There is no assurancethat our intensive efforts in niche marketing, brand managementand product innovation will continue to enable us to satisfy theevolving consumer tastes.2. Susceptibility to downturns in economic cyclesThe nature of our healthy lifestyle products make us moresusceptible to reduced demand in times of economic downturnthan other kinds of businesses because our products may notbe considered as essential health products.3. Health epidemics, terror alerts, terror attacks and other acts ofviolence or war may adversely affect sales.A large part of our outlets are located at high traffic malls andairports. Any of the above events will lead to a decrease inconsumer traffic in malls and airports and consequently mayhave a material adverse effect on sales.4. Inferior quality and unsubstantiated product performance claimsby imitators may lead to adverse media publicity and negativemarket sentimentsA number of our products have always attracted imitationproducts traders. Their inferior quality and unsubstantiatedproduct performance claims may lead to adverse media publicityand negative market sentiments and may have a materialadverse effect on sales.5. Foreign exchange risksWhile our sales are mainly denominated in the respective localcurrencies in which the sales arise, namely the S$, RM, HK$,RMB, NT$, A$ and US$, our costs of procurement of productsfrom our contract manufacturers are incurred mainly in US$,Yen and Euro. There is therefore an exchange transaction risk.6. Expansion of business and franchisee networkWe plan to open OSIM Focus and Chair Spa stores in existingand new geographical markets and sign on new franchisees.There are risks that these initiatives may not be successful.7. The results of Brookstone are highly dependant on sales duringthe fourth quarter of the year.A high percentage of our joint venture company, Brookstone’ssales are transacted during the fourth quarter of the year. Asa result, Brookstone’s annual profits are substantially madeduring the year end. If there should be any unfavourable externalevents or deviation from projected demand for products, thesecould have a material adverse effect on Brookstone’s sales andprofitability.Financial Highlights 42 Annual Report 2006

This requires an estimationof the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in userequires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash fl ows from the cash-generating unit andalso to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash fl ows. The carryingamount of the Group’s goodwill at 31 December 2006 was $22,073,000 (2005: $21,055,000). More detailsare given in Note 13.ii)Income taxesThe Group has exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Signifi cant judgement is involved indetermining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computationsfor which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Grouprecognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due.Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, suchdifferences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.In addition, the Company was awarded the Development and Expansion Incentive (“DEI”) under theInternational Headquarters (“IHQ”) Award on 8 September 2004. The commencement date is 1 January2005 and is for a period of 5 years. The qualifying income from IHQ activities during the 5-year period willenjoy a concessionary tax rate, subject to fulfi llment of the criteria as stipulated in the Economic DevelopmentBoard’s offer letter. As at 31 December 2006, the Company has met the fi rst criteria and is currently on trackto achieving the remaining two criteria. The management believes that they will meet all the DEI criteria withinthe qualifying period by 31 December 2008.Notes to the Financial Statements 85Annual Report 2006

Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.3 Significant accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d)a) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)ii)Income taxes (cont’d)The carrying amount of the Group’s tax payables, deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and income taxrecoverable as at 31 December 2006 were summarised as follows:Provision for income tax : $9,933,000 (2005: $7,383,000)Deferred tax liabilities : $4,254,000 (2005: $4,084,000)Deferred tax assets : $4,910,000 (2005: $3,281,000)Income tax recoverable : $1,188,000 (2005: $2,452,000)iii)iv)Depreciation of fixed assetsFixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimatesthe useful lives of these fi xed assets, except for freehold and leasehold buildings, to be within 1 to 10 years.The carrying amount of the Group’s fi xed assets at 31 December 2006 was $49,038,000 (2005: $42,136,000).Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic usefullives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.Provision for warrantiesProvision for warranties is accrued based on the estimated costs of fulfi lling the total obligation, includinghandling and transportation costs. The amount of the provision for warranty is estimated based on salesvolumes and past experience of the level of repairs and return. The estimation basis is reviewed on an ongoingbasis and revised where appropriate. The provision for warranties at 31 December 2006 was $1,716,000(2005: $1,383,000).v) Provision for redemption of customers’ reward pointsProvision for redemption of customers’ reward points is accrued based on the estimated value of thereward points given to customer upon purchase, which approximates the cost of the products to the Group.The provision for redemption of customers’ reward point at 31 December 2006 was $1,028,000 (2005:$679,000).vi)Provision for restoration costsProvision for restoration costs is accrued based on the expected cost of restoring the leasehold premises,retails outlets and warehouse to their state and condition as at the commencement of the lease and to thesatisfaction of the landlord. The provision for restoration costs at 31 December 2006 was $3,783,000 (2005:$3,735,000).Notes to the Financial Statements 86Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.3 Significant accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d)b) Critical judgements made in applying accounting policiesThe following is the judgement made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies thathave the most signifi cant effect on the amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements:Impairment of financial assetsThe Group follows the guidance of <strong>FR</strong>S 39 on determining when a fi nancial asset is considered impaired. Thisdetermination requires signifi cant judgement. The Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent towhich the fair value of a fi nancial asset is less than its cost; and the fi nancial health of and the near-term businessoutlook of the issuer of the instrument, including factors such as industry performance, changes in technology andoperational and fi nancing cash fl ows.2.4 Functional and foreign currencya) Functional currencyThe management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates(i.e. functional currency), to be SGD. Sales prices and major costs of providing goods and services including majoroperating expenses are primarily infl uenced by fl uctuations in SGD.b) Foreign currency transactionsTransactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and itssubsidiaries and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximatingthose ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translatedat the closing rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms ofhistorical 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 datewhen the fair value was determined.Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the balancesheet date are recognised in the profi t and loss account except for exchange differences arising on monetary itemsthat form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries, which are recognised initially in a separatecomponent of equity as foreign currency translation reserve in the consolidated balance sheet and recognised in theconsolidated profi t and loss account on disposal of the subsidiary.Notes to the Financial Statements 87Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.4 Functional and foreign currency (cont’d)c) Foreign currency translationOn consolidation, the results and fi nancial position of foreign operations are translated into SGD using the followingprocedures:• Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate ruling at that balancesheet date; and• Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates for the year, whichapproximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.All resulting exchange differences are recognised in a separate component of equity as foreign currency translationreserve.On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of exchange differences deferred in equity relating to thatforeign operation is recognised in the profi t and loss account as a component of the gain or loss on disposal.2.5 Subsidiaries and principles of consolidationa) SubsidiariesA subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies so as toobtain benefi ts from its activities. The Group generally has such power when it, directly or indirectly, holds more than50% of the issued share capital, or controls more than half of the voting power, or controls the composition of theboard of directors.In the Company’s separate fi nancial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less anyimpairment losses.b) Principles of consolidationThe consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at thebalance sheet date. The fi nancial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated fi nancialstatements are prepared for the same reporting date as the holding company. Consistent accounting policies areapplied for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profi ts and losses resulting from intra-grouptransactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full.Notes to the Financial Statements 88Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.5 Subsidiaries and principles of consolidation (cont’d)b) Principles of consolidation (cont’d)Subsidiaries are fully 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.Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured asthe fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange,plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilitiesassumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective ofthe extent of any minority interest.Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifi ableassets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. The goodwill is accounted for in accordance with theaccounting policy for goodwill stated in Note 2.12.Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilitiesover the cost of business combination is recognised in the profi t and loss account on the date of acquisition.Minority interests represent the portion of profi t or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group. They arepresented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from the parent shareholders’ equity, and areseparately disclosed in the consolidated profi t and loss account.2.6 Associated companiesAn associated company is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has signifi cant infl uence.This generally coincides with the Group having 20% or more of the voting power, or has representation on the board ofdirectors.The Group’s investments in associated companies are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, theinvestment in associated company is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s shareof net assets of the associated company. The Group’s share of the profi t or loss of the associated company is recognised inthe consolidated profi t and loss account. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associatedcompany, the Group recognises its share of such changes. After application of the equity method, the Group determineswhether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in the associatedcompany. The associated company is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains signifi cant infl uence until thedate the Group ceases to have signifi cant infl uence over the associated company.Goodwill relating to an associated company is included in the carrying amount of the investment.Notes to the Financial Statements 89Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.6 Associated companies (cont’d)Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associated company’s identifi able assets, liabilities and contingentliabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead includedas income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associated company’s profi t or loss in the period in which theinvestment is acquired.When the Group’s share of losses in an associated company equals or exceeds its interest in the associated company,including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations ormade payments on behalf of the associated company.The most recent available audited fi nancial statements of the associated companies are used by the Group in applying theequity method. Where the dates of the audited fi nancial statements used are not co-terminous with those of the Group,the share of results is arrived at from the last audited fi nancial statements available and un-audited management fi nancialstatements to the end of the accounting period. Consistent accounting policies are applied for like transactions and eventsin similar circumstances.In the Company’s separate fi nancial statements, investments in associated companies are accounted for at cost lessimpairment losses.2.7 Joint venturesThe Group’s investments in joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investmentin joint venture is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets ofthe joint venture. The Group’s share of the profi t or loss of the joint venture is recognised in the consolidated profi t and lossaccount. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises its shareof such changes. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise anyimpairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in the joint venture. The joint venture is equity accounted for fromthe date the Group obtains signifi cant infl uence until the date the Group ceases to have joint control over the joint venture.In the Company’s separate fi nancial statements, interests in joint ventures are accounted for at cost less impairment losses.2.8 Affiliated companiesAn affi liated company is a company, not being a subsidiary or an associated company, in which one or more of the directorsor shareholders of the Company have a signifi cant equity interest or exercise signifi cant infl uence.2.9 Related partiesParties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise signifi cant infl uence overthe other party in making fi nancial and operating decisions.Notes to the Financial Statements 90Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.10 Fixed assetsFixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, fi xed assets are stated at cost less accumulateddepreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.When an asset is revalued, any increase in the carrying amount is credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve. However,the increase is recognised in the profi t and loss account to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the sameasset previously recognised in the profi t and loss account. When an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of arevaluation, the decrease is recognised in the profi t and loss account. However, the decrease is debited directly to the assetrevaluation reserve to the extent of any credit balance existing in the reserve in respect of that asset.Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and thenet amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. The revaluation surplus included in the asset revaluation reservein respect of an asset is transferred directly to accumulated profi ts on retirement or disposal of the asset.Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Depreciation of an asset begins when it isavailable for use and is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:Freehold buildings 2% - 3%Leasehold buildings 1.42% - 3%Plant and machinery 10%Computers 18% - 100%Motor vehicles 18% - 40%Shop renovations 33 1 / 3%Furniture and fi ttings 10% - 33 1 / 3%Offi ce equipment 10% - 20%Capital work-in-progress is not depreciated as these assets are not available for use.The carrying values of fi xed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that thecarrying value may not be recoverable.The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each fi nancial year-end to ensure that the amount,method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of thefuture economic benefi ts embodied in the fi xed assets.Fixed asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefi ts are expected from its use or disposal.Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the profi t and loss account in the year the asset isderecognised.Notes to the Financial Statements 91Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.11 LeasesFinance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leaseditem, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of theminimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs are also added to the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportionedbetween the fi nance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remainingbalance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to the profi t and loss account. Contingent rents, if any, are charged asexpenses 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 thereis 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 profi t and loss account on a straight-line basis over the leaseterm. The aggregate benefi t of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the leaseterm on a straight-line basis.2.12 Intangible assetsa) GoodwillGoodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the businesscombination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill isreviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingvalue may be impaired.For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date,allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected tobenefi t from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group areassigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated:• Represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal managementpurposes; and• Is not larger than a segment based on either the Group’s primary or the Group’s secondary reporting format.A cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated are tested forimpairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing the carryingamount of the unit, including the goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the unit. Where the recoverable amountof the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment lossis recognised.Notes to the Financial Statements 92Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.12 Intangible assets (cont’d)a) Goodwill (cont’d)Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operationwithin that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carryingamount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of inthis circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cashgeneratingunit retained.Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations on or after 1 January 2005 aretreated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the foreignoperations and translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.Goodwill and fair value adjustments which arose on acquisitions of foreign subsidiaries before 1 January 2005 aredeemed to be assets and liabilities of the parent company and are recorded in SGD at the rates prevailing at the dateof acquisition.The Group does not reverse in a subsequent period, any impairment loss recognised for goodwill.b) Club membershipClub membership is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment loss. Club membership isamortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 22 years.c) Other intangible assetsIntangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assetsacquired in a business combination is their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either fi nite or indefi nite. Intangible assets with fi nite lives areamortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment wheneverthere is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation methodfor an intangible asset with a fi nite useful life are reviewed at least at each fi nancial year-end. The amortisationexpense on intangible assets with fi nite lives is recognised in the profi t and loss account through the ‘depreciationand amortisation expenses’ line item.Intangible assets with indefi nite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if the eventsor changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cashgeneratingunit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with indefi nite life isreviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable.Notes to the Financial Statements 93Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.12 Intangible assets (cont’d)c) Other intangible assets (cont’d)The following classes of intangible assets are acquired by the Group through the acquisition of subsidiaries:i) Franchise rights and trademarksFranchise rights are paid to the franchisor, General Nutrition International, Inc. (“GNC”), in respect ofevery retail store opened by the Group and entitle the Group the right to operate each retail store using thefranchisor’s trademarks, trade names and operating system. Franchise rights are amortised over 20 years ona straight-line basis.Trademark registration costs relate to fees paid to register the “L.A.C” trademark and are amortised over 20years on a straight-line basis.ii)Distribution rightsDistribution rights relate to fees paid to GNC for the exclusive rights to distribute GNC products to otherretailers, distributors and merchants in Singapore and rights granted to third parties to distribute certainproducts exclusively in a specifi ed territory for a limited period of time. The distribution fees paid to GNC areamortised over 20 years on a straight-line basis, and the third party distribution rights are amortised over theagreement period ranging from 1 to 4 years.Gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the profi t and loss account when the asset isderecognised.2.13 Impairment of non-financial assetsThe Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any suchindication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset (i.e. an intangible asset with an indefi nite useful life, anintangible asset not yet available for use, or goodwill acquired in a business combination) is required, the Group makes anestimate of the asset’s recoverable amounts.Notes to the Financial Statements 94Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.13 Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d)An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value inuse and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash infl ows that are largely independentof those from other assets or groups of assets. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows are discounted totheir present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and therisks specifi c to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is consideredimpaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in theprofi t and loss account or treated as a revaluation decrease for assets carried at revalued amount to the extent that theimpairment loss does not exceed the amount held in the asset revaluation reserve for that same asset.An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairmentlosses recognised for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, therecoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change inthe estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that isthe case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceedthe carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for theasset in prior years. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profi t and loss account unless the asset is carried atrevalued amount, in which case the reversal in excess of impairment loss previously recognised through the profi t and lossaccount is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods toallocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. TheGroup does not reverse in a subsequent period, any impairment loss recognised for goodwill.2.14 Financial assetsFinancial assets are classifi ed as either fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturityinvestments, or available-for-sale fi nancial assets, as appropriate. Financial assets are recognised on the balancesheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument.When fi nancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of fi nancial assets not at fairvalue through profi t or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classifi cation of its fi nancialassets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each fi nancial year-end.All regular way purchases and sales of fi nancial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commitsto purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of fi nancial assets that require delivery ofassets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.Notes to the Financial Statements 95Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.14 Financial assets (cont’d)a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or lossFinancial assets classifi ed as held for trading (including derivative fi nancial instruments) are classifi ed as fi nancialassets at fair value through profi t or loss. Financial assets are classifi ed as held for trading if they are acquired for thepurpose of selling in the near term. Derivative fi nancial instruments are also classifi ed as held for trading unless theyare designated as effective hedging instruments. Gain or losses on fi nancial assets classifi ed at fair value throughprofi t or loss are recognised in the profi t and loss account.b) Loan and receivablesNon-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market areclassifi ed as loans and receivables. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method,less impairment losses. Gains and losses are recognised in profi t and loss account when the loans and receivablesare derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.The Group classifi es the following fi nancial assets as loan and receivables:• cash and cash equivalents• trade and other debtors, including amounts due from subsidiaries, associated companies, affi liated companiesand a joint venture, loans to associated companies and long-term depositsc) Available-for-sale financial assetsThe Group classifi es its long-term investment as available-for-sale fi nancial assets.Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are those non-derivative fi nancial assets that are designated as available-for-saleor are not classifi ed in any of the other categories. After initial recognition, available-for-sale fi nancial assets aremeasured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised in the fair value adjustment reserve until the investmentis derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or losspreviously reported in equity is included in the profi t and loss account.The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised fi nancial markets is determined by referenceto the relevant Exchange’s quoted market bid prices at the close of the business on the balance sheet date. Forinvestments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Investments inequity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliablymeasured are measured at cost less impairment losses.Notes to the Financial Statements 96Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.15 Impairment of financial assetsThe Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective that a fi nancial asset or group of fi nancialassets is impaired.a) Assets carried at amortised costIf there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on fi nancial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred,the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value ofestimate future cash fl ows discounted at the fi nancial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount ofthe asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in the profi t andloss account.If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectivelyto an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed.Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profi t and loss account, to the extent that thecarrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.b) Assets carried at costIf there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a fi nancial asset carried at cost has been incurred, the amountof the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimatedfuture cash fl ows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar fi nancial asset. Such impairment lossesare not reversed in subsequent periods.c) Available-for-sales financial assetsIf an available-for-sale fi nancial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of anyprincipal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in theprofi t and loss account, is transferred from equity to the profi t and loss account. Reversals of impairment loss inrespect of equity instruments are not recognised in the profi t and loss account. Reversals of impairment losses ondebt instruments are reversed through the profi t and loss account, if the increase in fair value of the instrument canbe objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the profi t and loss account.Notes to the Financial Statements 97Annual Report 2006

Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.16 StocksStocks are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realisable value.Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs necessary to makethe sale.Allowance is made for deteriorated, damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stocks.2.17 Trade and other receivablesTrade and other receivables, including amounts due from subsidiaries, associated companies, affi liated companies and jointventure, and loans to associated companies are classifi ed and accounted for as loans and receivables under <strong>FR</strong>S 39. Theaccounting policy for this category of fi nancial assets is stated in Note 2.14.An allowance is made for uncollectible amounts when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect thedebt. Bad debts are written off when identifi ed. Further details on the accounting policy for impairment of fi nancial assetsare stated in Note 2.15.2.18 Financial liabilitiesFinancial liabilities include trade and other amounts payable, which are normally settled on 30-90 day terms, and payablesto subsidiaries, associated companies, affi liated companies and interest-bearing loans and borrowings. Financial liabilitiesare recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions ofthe fi nancial instrument. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value of considerations received less directlyattributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.Gains and losses are recognised in the profi t and loss account when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through theamortisation process. The liabilities are dereognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled orexpired.2.19 Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments that arereadily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignifi cant risk of changes in values. These alsoinclude bank overdrafts that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.Notes to the Financial Statements 98Annual Report 2006

Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to theacquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activitiesto prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred.Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the assetexceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.2.21 Derecognition of financial assets and liabilitiesa) Financial assetsA fi nancial asset is derecognised where the contractual rights to receive cash fl ows from the asset have expired.On derecognition of a fi nancial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of theconsideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain orloss that has been recognised directly in equity is recognised in the profi t and loss account.b) Financial liabilitiesA fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.2.22 ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past event,it is probable that an outfl ow of resources embodying economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that refl ects, whereappropriate, the risks specifi c to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage oftime is recognised as fi nance costs.Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to refl ect the current best estimate. If it is no longerprobable that an outfl ow of resources embodying economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation, the provision isreversed.Notes to the Financial Statements 99Annual Report 2006

In valuing the share options, no account is taken of any performance conditions, otherthan conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company (‘market conditions’), if applicable.The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in the employee shareoption reserve, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfi lled, ending on the dateon which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘the vesting date’). The cumulative expensesrecognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date refl ects the extent to whichthe vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimatelyvest. The charge or credit to the profi t and loss account for a period represents the movement in cumulative expenserecognised as at the beginning and end of that period.No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon amarket condition, which are treated as vested irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfi ed, providedthat all other performance conditions are satisfi ed.Notes to the Financial Statements 101Annual Report 2006

Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.28 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activitiesThe Group uses derivative fi nancial instruments such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge itsrisks associated with foreign currency and interest rates fl uctuations. Such derivative fi nancial instruments are initiallyrecognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fairvalue. Derivative fi nancial instruments are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fairvalue is negative.Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivative fi nancial instruments that do not qualify for hedgeaccounting are taken to the profi t and loss account for the year.The fair value of forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps is based on fair valuation reports from reputable fi nancialinstitutions.At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which theGroup wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Thedocumentation include identifi cation of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk beinghedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in thehedged item’s fair value or cash fl ows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective inachieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash fl ows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they havebeen highly effective throughout the fi nancial reporting periods for which they were designated.a) Fair value hedgesFor the purpose of hedge accounting, the Group has entered into hedges that is classifi ed as fair value hedges.A hedge is classifi ed as a fair value hedge when it is used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of arecognised asset or liability or an unrecognised fi rm commitment that is attributable to a particular risk and couldaffect profi t or loss.For fair value hedges, the carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted for gains and losses attributable to the riskbeing hedged, the derivative is remeasured at fair value and gains and losses from both are taken to the profi t andloss account.For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortised cost, the adjustment to carrying value is amortised throughthe profi t and loss account over the remaining term to maturity. Any adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedgedfi nancial instrument for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to the profi t and loss account.Amortisation begins as soon as an adjustment exists but no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjustedfor changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.Notes to the Financial Statements 105Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.28 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (cont’d)a) Fair value hedges (cont’d)When an unrecognised fi rm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change inthe fair value of the fi rm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognised as an asset or liability with acorresponding gain or loss recognised in the profi t and loss account. The changes in the fair value of the hedginginstrument are also recognised in the profi t and loss account.The Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated orexercised, the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the Group revokes the designation. Anyadjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged fi nancial instrument for which the effective interest method is used isamortised to the profi t and loss account. Amortisation begins as soon as an adjustment exists but no later than whenthe hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.b) Cash flow hedgesFor the purpose of hedge accounting, the Group has entered into hedges that is classifi ed as a cash fl ow hedge. Ahedge is classifi ed as a cash fl ow hedge when it is used to hedge the exposure to variability in cash fl ows that is eitherattributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or highly probable forecast transactionand could affect profi t or loss.For cash fl ow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in thehedging reserve, while the ineffective portion is recognised in the profi t and loss account.Amounts taken to hedging reserve are transferred to the profi t and loss account when the hedged transaction affectsprofi t or loss, such as when hedged fi nancial income or fi nancial expense is recognised or when a forecast sale orpurchase occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-fi nancial asset or liability, the amounts taken to hedgingreserve are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-fi nancial asset or liability.If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in hedging reserve aretransferred to the profi t and loss account. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised withoutreplacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognised in hedging reserveremain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to occur, the amountis taken to the profi t and loss account.2.29 Cumulative preference sharesCumulative preference shares that exhibit the characteristics of a liability are recognised as a liability and accordingly thecorresponding dividends on these preference shares are charged as an interest expense in the profi t and loss account.Preference shares of a joint venture of the Group that have the potential to become redeemable upon occurrence of certainevents as stipulated in the partnership agreement are recorded as a liability.Notes to the Financial Statements 106Annual Report 2006

The difference betweenthe number of shares to be issued at the exercise prices under the options and the number of shares that would have been issuedat the fair value based on the assumed proceeds from the issue of these shares are treated as ordinary shares issued for noconsideration. The number of such shares issued for no consideration is added to the weighted average number of ordinary sharesoutstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share.In accordance with <strong>FR</strong>S 33, Earnings Per Share, the weighted average number of shares for comparative fi gure has been adjustedto refl ect the bonus issue of 1 bonus share for every 5 existing ordinary shares assuming that the bonus issue had been taken placeas of 1 January 2005.37.

Financial risk management objectives and policiesThe Group’s principal fi nancial instruments, other than derivative fi nancial instruments, comprise bank loans and overdraft, financeleases and hire purchase contracts, and cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of these fi nancial instruments is to fi nancethe Group’s operations. The Group has various other fi nancial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables,which arise directly from its operations.The Group also enters into derivative transactions, including principally interest rate swaps and forward currency contracts. Thepurpose is to manage the interest rate and currency risks arising from the Group’s operations and its sources of fi nancing.It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in derivative fi nancial instruments shall beundertaken.Notes to the Financial Statements 161Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)42. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)The main risks arising from the Group’s fi nancial instruments are interest rate risks (both fair value and cash fl ow), liquidity risk,foreign currency risk and credit risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarisedbelow. The Group’s accounting policies in relation to derivative fi nancial instruments are set out in Note 2.28.a) Interest rate riskThe Group obtains additional fi nancing through bank borrowings and leasing arrangements. The Group’s policy is to obtainthe most favourable interest rates available without increasing its foreign currency exposure. Surplus funds are placed withreputable banks and/or fi nancial institutions.The Group’s policy is to manage its exposure to interest risks using a mix of fi xed and variable rate debts. The Group’s policyis to keep between 30% to 75% of its bills payable for working capital at fi xed rates of interest. As at 31 December 2006, aftertaking into account an interest rate swap, approximate 61% (2005: 40%) of the Group’s bills payables for working capital areat fi xed rate.The Group’s policy is to hedge 100% of the term loan for investment in joint venture. As at 31 December 2006, the Grouphas entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge 100% (2005: 100%) of the term loan.b) Liquidity riskIn the management of liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequateby management to fi nance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effect of fl uctuations in cash fl ows.c) Foreign exchange riskThe Group’ foreign exchange risk arises both from its subsidiaries operating in foreign countries, which generate revenueand incur costs denominated in foreign currencies and from those operations of its local subsidiaries which are in foreigncurrencies.The Group uses foreign exchange contracts in managing its foreign exchange risk resulting from cash fl ows from anticipatedtransactions and fi nancing arrangements denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the United States dollars and JapaneseYen. Transaction risk is calculated in each foreign currency and includes foreign currency denominated assets and liabilitiesand fi rm and probable purchase and sale commitments.Notes to the Financial Statements 162Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)42. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)d) Credit riskCredit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is managed through the application of credit approvals, credit limits andmonitoring procedures.The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade debtors and other debtors represent the Group’s maximum exposureto credit risk in relation to fi nancial assets. No other fi nancial assets carry a signifi cant exposure to credit risk.As the nature of the Group’s business is in retail, the majority of outstanding trade receivables are due from department storesand fi nancial institutions.43. Financial instrumentsa) Credit riskThere are no signifi cant concentrations of credit risk within the Group or the Company.b) Fair valuesFair value is defi ned as the amount at which the fi nancial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction betweenknowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of fi nancial instruments:• Cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets and liabilitiesThe carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.• Short-term borrowingsThe carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short period to maturity.• Long-term borrowingsThe fair values of the long-term bank loans are based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or onthe current rates available for debt with the same maturity profi le. The fair value of non-current loans, borrowings orother payables with variable interest rates approximates their carrying amounts.• Long-term receivablesThe fair value of long-term receivables is determined by discounting estimated cash fl ows using current marketincremental lending rates for similar types of lending.Notes to the Financial Statements 163Annual Report 2006


Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)43. Financial instruments (cont’d)b) Fair values (cont’d)• Lease obligationsThe fair value of lease obligations is determined by discounting the relevant cash fl ows using current interest rates forsimilar instruments at balance sheet date.• Forward currency contractsThe fair value of forward currency contracts is determined by reference to current forward exchange rates for contractswith similar maturity profi les.As at 31 December 2006, the fair values of fi nancial assets and liabilities which do not approximate the carrying amount in thebalance sheets of the Group and the Company are presented in the following table:Carryingamount2006 2005Estimatedfair valueCarryingamountEstimated fairvalue$’000 $’000 $’000 $’000GroupFinancial assets:Long-term investment in equity shares (unquoted) 930 (i) – –Long-term receivables 10,619 11,046 7,618 7,923Financial liabilities:Obligations under fi nance leases 2,313 1,188 4,702 4,293CompanyFinancial assets:Long-term investment in equity shares (unquoted) 930 (i) – –Long-term receivables 1,915 1,994 1,545 1,607(i) It is not practicable to determine with suffi cient reliability, the fair value of the unquoted equity shares held as long-terminvestments as they do not have quoted market prices in an active market, nor are other methods of reasonable estimating thefair values readily available.Notes to the Financial Statements 164Annual Report 2006

Financial instruments (cont’d)d) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (cont’d)ii)Fair value hedgesHedge of financial liabilitiesAs at 31 December 2006, the Group held forward currency contracts (entered into during 2006) designated ashedges of the currency risk related to recognised fi nancial liabilities.The terms of these contracts have been negotiated to match the terms of the fi nancial liabilities.These derivatives were assessed to be highly effective and the change in fair value of the fi nancial liability attributableto the hedged risk, amounting to $322,000 (2005: $1,317,000), is recognised as a liability at 31 December 2006with a corresponding loss recognised in the profi t and loss account. This loss has been offset by an equivalent gainon the hedged risks.iii)Other hedges for which hedge accounting is not appliedAs at 31 December 2006, the Group has entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge the term loan. The notionalamount of each swap is $40,000,000 (2005: $50,000,000) whereby it pays fi xed interest rate and receives variablerate on the notional amount.As at 31 December 2006, the Group also entered into an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the Group’s billspayables for working capital. The notional amount of this swap is $20,000,000 (2005: $20,000,000).The fair value of these derivatives as at 31 December 2006 amounts to $910,000 (2005: $738,000) has beenrecognised in the balance sheet as a fi nancial asset and as income in the profi t and loss account for the year.Notes to the Financial Statements 168Annual Report 2006

Specifi cally, an immediate announcement is required for thefollowing transactions of a certain threshold where:-2.2.1 the value of a proposed transaction is equal to or exceeds 3% of the Group’s latest audited NTA; or2.2.2 the aggregate value of all transactions entered into with the same Interested Person during the same fi nancial year, is equalto or more than 3% of the Group’s latest audited NTA.

Appendix (cont’d)and shareholder approval (in addition to an immediate announcement) is required where:-2.2.3 the value of a proposed transaction is equal to or exceeds 5% of the latest Group’s audited NTA; or2.2.4 the aggregate value of all transactions (including the subject transaction) entered into with the same Interested Person duringthe same fi nancial year, is equal to or more than 5% of the Group’s latest audited NTA. The aggregation will exclude anytransaction that has been approved by shareholders previously, or is the subject of aggregation with another transaction thathas been approved by shareholders.2.3 For the purposes of aggregation, Interested Persons Transactions below $100,000 each are to be excluded.2.4 Part VIII of Chapter 9 allows for a listed company to seek a mandate (the “Shareholders’ Mandate”) from its shareholders forrecurrent transactions with Interested Person of a revenue or trading nature necessary for its day-to-¬day operations such as salesof supplies and materials, but not in respect to the purchase or sale of assets, undertakings or businesses.2.5 For the purposes of Chapter 9:-2.5.1 an “interested person” means a director, chief executive offi cer or controlling shareholder of the listed company, or anassociate of such director, chief executive offi cer or controlling shareholder;2.5.2 a “controlling shareholder” is a person who holds directly or indirectly 15% or more of the nominal amount of all voting sharesin the listed company (unless otherwise excepted by SGX-ST) or in fact exercises control over a company; and2.5.3 an “associate” in relation to any director, chief executive offi cer or controlling shareholder (being an individual) means hisimmediate family (i.e., spouse, children, adopted children, step-children, siblings and parents), the trustees of any trustof which he or his immediate family is a benefi ciary or, in the case of a discretionary trust, is a discretionary object, andany company in which he and his immediate family together (directly or indirectly) have an interest of 30% or more.

Appendix (cont’d)4.

Validity Period of the Shareholders MandateThe renewal of the Shareholders Mandate will take effect from the passing of the ordinary resolution relating thereto, and will (unlessrevoked or varied by the Company in general meeting) continue in force until the next Annual General Meeting of the Companyfollowing thereafter.
