GrowthGoals are achieved through successful breakthroughs. Before that can happen, a few vital values and practices must be embraced: effective leadership, a strong strategic plan and recognising new opportunities, pushing the limits through resilience, and building solid teamwork.

Reaching out in motion, with these elements in place, obstacles can be overcome and new breakthroughs gained.

KLW is still active in their ‘Go Green’ mission; hence the colour green is used to indicate their eco-friendly focus.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to sincerely thank our shareholders, customers, suppliers and business associates communities for their support.

In FY 2010, KLW Group experienced a tough year. We had to address a rapidly deteriorating issue: the closure of our furniture retail business Barang Barang Group of Companies in Singapore and Malaysia. The overwhelming operating cost made the business unsustainable – and it was a tight ship to run.

It was a painful decision to make but we quickly focused on consolidating the Group’s core strength, which is the door division – while progressing with a new alliance from Malaysia. Koperasi Permodalan Felda Malaysia Berhad has agreed to take up a 30% stake of our door division. Although there is still much to recover from the loss, we enter FY 2011 in a more confident position.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSKLW registered a turnover of $53

million in FY 2010 and a 5% decline as compared to $56 million of revenue in FY 2009. In FY 2010, we experienced a net loss of $5.9 million.

Facing the closure of Barang Barang, KLW’s turnover was slightly alleviated by a 16% increase from the door division. Over the course of FY2010, KLW’s loss per share stood at $1.08 and a net tangible asset value of $1.48 per share.

On the optimistic aspect, we benefitted a satisfying increase from manufacturing. We also enjoyed an increase of 16% compared to $27 million in FY 2009. Our factory in China, which performed well, has now become our profitable arm. Increasingly, we are steering our focus to China through establishing firm ground by setting up another factory. It will be strategically built near our present factory to keep the muscle of the development taut. The evident demand from our customers continued to grow, signalling a healthy state of growth for our business.

The revenues from trading businesses have made significant progress by 9%, from $18 million in 2009 to a well-performed $19 million this year. The business was able to adjust to the ever changing market conditions and it pulled on the glowing economic facelift.

At the same time, we saw the project and rental income increased by 40% from $1.3 million in 2009 to $1.9 million this year. There is still much to be addressed but we are certainly entering 2011 with a much stronger focus.

Due to liquidation, Barang Barang shifted out from our warehouse space in February 2010, hence experiencing a drop in rental income. It was only in May 2010 when UPS took up the space.

KLW is undeterred despite the recent gloomy circumstances. It showcased a mark of ingenuity by securing three door contracts in FY2010, namely: The Wharf Residence, Waterfront Key and Primo Residences. The unhesitating move was spurred by Singapore’s vibrant property markets and the company’s clear sightedness. With such positive developments already pulsing in the pipeline, the turnover in FY2011 will be sharply averted. All is set to go in remarkable poise and gusto for KLW this year.

STRATEGIES FOR 2011A double-powered strategy from

us, in terms of market expansion, we will be spreading our influence to the European and US markets for exports, that’s one. Two, we will continue to secure project businesses from Singapore and the Middle East. It’s a back-to-back plan for traversing new grounds and strengthening our present links – Singapore and the Middle East. For now, these are plans revived to serve as practical solutions and ultimately stretching KLW to attain new objectives.

In terms of capacity, a new factory in China will be operating in the third quarter of this year, and that is also another cornerstone to put KLW back on a competitive edge where it belongs.

APPRECIATIONI look forward to the continued

support and understanding of all of our shareholders and investors.

Lee Boon TeckChairman and Executive Director

Two employees of the Group are immediate family members of the Chairman. The remuneration of each of these employees

did not exceed $150,000 during the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2010.

ACCOUNTABILITY & AUDIT

Principle 10: The Board should present a balanced and understandable assessment of the company’s performance, position and prospects.

The Board provides shareholders with annual fi nancial reports and announces promptly half yearly and yearly fi nancial results. In

presenting the fi nancial statements through reports and announcements, it is the aim of the Board to provide the shareholders

with detailed analysis and a balanced and understandable assessment of the company’s performance, position and prospects.

The Management provides the Board with a continual fl ow of relevant information on a quarterly basis in order that it may

effectively discharge its duties and the Board is of the view that the information provided on a quarterly basis is suffi ciently

effective for it to discharge its duties.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Principle 11: The Board should establish an Audit Committee (“AC”) with written terms of reference which clearly set out its authority and duties.

The AC comprises of the following members:

Chairman: Ho Pong Chong (Non-executive & Independent)

Members: Teo Hin Guan (Non-executive & Independent)

Low Hai Lee (Non-executive & Independent)

The AC’s primary function is to provide assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfi lling its responsibility relating to corporate

accounting and auditing, reporting practices of the Company, the quality and integrity of the fi nancial reports of the Company,

and the Company’s system of internal controls regarding fi nance, accounting, legal compliance and ethnics established by the

Management and the Board.

The Committee’s statutory functions are:-

to review with the internal and external auditors, their audit plans;

to review with the internal and external auditors, their evaluation of the Group’s system of internal controls;

to review with the internal and external auditors, their audit reports;

to review the cooperation / assistance given by the Company’s offi cers to the internal and external auditors;

to review the scope and results of the internal audit procedures;

to review the balance sheet and profi t and loss account of the Company and the consolidated balance sheet and profi t

and loss account and to submit them to the Board;

to nominate and review the appointment or re-appointment of external auditors.

The Company has put in place a whistle-blowing policy and procedures which provide employees with accessible channels

to the AC for reporting suspected fraud, corruption, dishonest practices or other similar matters. The aim of this policy is to

encourage the reporting of such matters in good faith, with the confi dence that employees making such reports will be treated

fairly and, to the extent possible, be protected from reprisal.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

20 KLW Holdings Limited Annual Report 2010

INTERNAL CONTROL

Principle 12: The Board should ensure that the Management maintains a sound system of internal controls to safeguard the shareholders’ investments and the company’s assets.

The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall internal control framework, but recognises that no cost effective

internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities, as a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the

risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material

misstatement or loss.

The AC has been given full access to and is provided with the co-operation of the Group’s management. In addition, the AC

has independent access to the external auditors. The AC meets with the external auditors without the presence of management

and reviews the effectiveness of the internal controls established by management, at least once a year. The AC has reasonable

resources to enable it to discharge its functions properly.

The Board believes that, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, the system of internal controls maintained by the

Group’s management that was in place throughout the year and up to the date of this report, is adequate to meet the needs of

the Group in its current business environment.

The Board acknowledges that risk is inherent in business and there are commercial risks to be taken in the course of generating

a return on business activities. The Board’s policy is that risks should be managed within the Group’s overall risk tolerance.

The fi nancial risks and management policies of the Group are laid out on pages 74 to 82 of the Annual Report.

INTERNAL AUDIT

Principle 13: The Company should establish an internal audit function that is independent of the activities it audits.

The Group has an internal auditor who reports directly to the Audit Committee and administratively to the Executive Chairman.

The internal auditor did not have any qualifi cations from any bodies of Internal Auditors. He is from Philippines and has a

degree in Accounting from Philippines University and has work experience as Internal Auditor with a bank in Philippines prior to

joining us. The AC is of the view that given the current size and fairly simple organization of the Company, the internal auditor is

competent to fufi l the requirements of the internal control checks.

COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS

Principle 14: Companies should engage in regular, effective and fair communication with shareholders.

Principle 15: Companies should encourage greater shareholder participation at AGMs, and allow shareholders the opportunity to communicate their views on various matters affecting the company.

In line with continuous disclosure obligations of the company pursuant to the SGX-ST’s Listing Rules and the Singapore

Companies Act, the Company endeavors to maintain constant and effective communications with shareholders through timely

and comprehensive announcements. Material information helpful to shareholders is released on a timely basis. We disseminate

our latest corporate news, strategies and announcement promptly through SGXNET and press releases.

The Company welcomes active participation from shareholders at AGMs. To facilitate voting by shareholders, the Company’s

articles allow shareholders to vote by proxies. Proxy forms can be sent to the Company by mail. Each distinct issue is voted via

separate resolutions at AGMs. The Board will address any queries raised by shareholders and call upon its professional service

providers where it deem appropriate. All minutes of general meetings and a summary of the questions and answers raised at

general meetings are available to shareholders upon their request.

KLW Holdings Limited Annual Report 2010 27

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of KLW Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the

“Group”) set out on pages 30 to 84, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet and the balance sheet of the Company

as at 31 December 2010, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes

in equity and the consolidated statement of cash fl ows of the Group for the fi nancial year then ended, and a summary of

signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the

provisions of the Singapore Companies Act (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and

maintaining a system of internal accounting controls suffi cient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded

against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as

necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profi t and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability

of assets.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. Except as discussed below, we

conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical

requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements are free

from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of

the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control

relevant to the entity’s preparation of the fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures

that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s

internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of

accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.

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

opinion.

Basis for Qualifi ed Opinion

The fi nancial statements for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2009 (“FY2009”) were audited by another fi rm of certifi ed

public accountants (the “Preceding Auditors”), whose report dated 15 April 2010 expressed a “disclaimer of opinion” on those

fi nancial statements due to the following:

(i) As at the date of their report, the Preceding Auditors were unable to complete the audit of Barang Barang Pte Ltd

(“BBPL”) all its accounting staff were laid off and the accounting records were handed over to the liquidator.

The management accounts for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2009, which were prepared by the directors

on a going concern basis, were used for consolidation purposes. Based on existing circumstances as at the date

of their report, the Preceding Auditors was of the view that management’s use of the going concern assumption in

the preparation of the fi nancial statement was not appropriate. Owing to the limitation of scope where no audit was

performed, the Preceding Auditors were unable to determine the extent of the adjustments that should be effected

on the impact of BBPL being placed on liquidation if the appropriate basis of preparing and presenting the fi nancial

statements were adopted.

As at 31 December 2009, BBPL’s total assets and liabilities included in the Group’s balance sheet amounted to

S$4,014,715 and S$6,376,211, respectively. Its revenue and loss for the fi nancial year included in the consolidated

statement of comprehensive income amounted to S$7,813,658 and S$8,918,935 respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORTto the members of KLW Holdings Limited

28 KLW Holdings Limited Annual Report 2010

(ii) The Preceding Auditors were also unable to satisfy themselves on the appropriateness of the going concern assumption

used to prepare the audited fi nancial statement of Barang Barang Lifestyle Sdn Bhd (“BBLSB”) included in the Group

fi nancial statements. Based on their post balance sheet review of the fi nancial statement of the BBLSB, the Preceding

Auditors was of the view that management’s use of the going concern assumption in the preparation of the fi nancial

statements may not be appropriate.

As at 31 December 2009, BBLSB’s total assets and liabilities included in the Group’s balance sheet amounted to

RM2,128,329 (equivalent to S$868,358) and RM675,410 (equivalent to S$275,567) respectively. Its revenue and loss

for the fi nancial year included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income amounted to RM3,144,853

(equivalent to S$1,297,755) and RM3,522,388 (equivalent to S$1,453,572).

We discuss below the extent to which the matters that gave rise to the disclaimer of opinion in respect of the FY2009 Financial

Statements that remained unresolved, insofar as they impact both the corresponding and current year’s fi gures provided in the

current fi nancial statements as well as other additional matters that relate to the current year’s fi nancial statements.

(i) During the fi nancial year, two subsidiaries, namely Barang Barang Pte Ltd (“BBPL”) and Barang Barang Lifestyle

Sdn Bhd (“BBLSB”), were placed under creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 10 February 2010 and 31 March 2010,

respectively.

On 24 December 2010, the appointed liquidator of BBPL offi cially lodged the liquidators’ report to Accounting and

Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) and the Insolvency and Public Trustee’s Offi ce (“IPTO”). On 24 March 2011, 3

months after the date of lodgment, BBPL was formally dissolved.

In view of the above and of those matters mentioned by the Preceding Auditors, we were unable to perform the audit

procedures necessary to obtain suffi cient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the fi nancial position of BBPL as at

1 January 2010.

(ii) As at the date of this report, BBLSB is still in the process of liquidation. We were similarly unable to obtain suffi cient and

appropriate audit evidence regarding the fi nancial position of BBLSB as at 1 January 2010.

(iii) As disclosed in Note 9 to the consolidated fi nancial statements, the Group recorded a net loss of $3,433,660 on the

liquidation of the two subsidiaries, BBPL and BBLSB for the current fi nancial year ended 31 December 2010. As we

were unable to audit the fi nancial positions of the abovementioned subsidiaries that was liquidated / being liquidated

as detailed above, we were also unable to determine if the resultant net loss on liquidation was properly and accurately

recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Qualifi ed Opinion

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualifi ed Opinion paragraph, the balance

sheet of the Company and the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group are properly drawn up in accordance with the

provisions of the Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the

Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2010, and of the results, changes in equity and cash fl ows of the Group for the

fi nancial year then ended on that date.

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 to the fi nancial statements. As at 31 December 2010, the Company

and the Group’s current liabilities have exceeded its current assets by $5,508,155 and $878,363 respectively. The fi nancial

statements of the Company and Group have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Company has embarked on

a fund raising exercise via share placements and the Group is also exploring various options to restructure or reorganise its

businesses (Note 26).

The fi nancial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classifi cation of recorded asset

amounts and do not include any classifi cation of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company and the Group were unable to

continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2010

(Amounts in Singapore dollars unless otherwise stated)

34 KLW Holdings Limited Annual Report 2010

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

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

KLW Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated in Singapore and is

listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The address of the Company's registered offi ce and its

principal place of business is 19 Senoko Loop, Singapore 758169.

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. Pursuant to the liquidation of a group of subsidiaries, the

Group is no longer engaged in retail operations. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are as shown in Note 5.

The fi nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 were authorised for issue in accordance with a

resolution of the Board of Directors on 31 March 2011.

2. FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING CONCEPT

As at 31 December 2010, the Company and the Group’s current liabilities have exceeded its current assets by

$5,508,155 and $878,363 respectively. The fi nancial statements of the Company and Group have been prepared on a

going concern basis as the Company has embarked on a fund raising exercise via share placements and the Group is

also exploring various options to restructure or reorganise its businesses (Note 26).

The fi nancial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classifi cation of recorded asset

amounts and do not include any classifi cation of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company and the Group were

unable to continue as a going concern.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The fi nancial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the

accounting policies below and are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Cap.

50 and the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”).

The preparation of the fi nancial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to exercise its judgements, in

the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the fi nancial statements, and

the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fi nancial year. Although these estimates are based on

management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions used that are signifi cant to the fi nancial statements and areas involving a

higher degree of judgement or complexity, are disclosed in this Note.

Adoption of new and revised standards

On 1 January 2010, the Group adopted the new or amended FRS and Interpretations of FRS (“INT FRS”) that are

mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in

accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INT FRS. The adoption of these new or amended

FRS and INT FRS did not result in substantial changes to the Group’s and Company’s accounting policies and had no

material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior fi nancial years, except as disclosed below:

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Adoption of new and revised standards (Continued)

(a) FRS 103 (revised) Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009)

The revised FRS 103 introduces a number of changes to the accounting for business combinations that will

impact the amount of goodwill recognised, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and

future reported results. Changes in signifi cant accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the revised FRS

103 include:

– Transaction costs would no longer be capitalised as part of the cost of acquisition but will be expensed

immediately;

– Consideration contingent on future events are recognised at fair value on the acquisition date and any

changes in the amount of consideration to be paid will no longer be adjusted against goodwill but

recognised in profi t or loss;

– The Group elects for each acquisition of a business, to measure non-controlling interest at fair value, or at

the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifi able net assets, and this impacts

the amount of goodwill;

– When a business is acquired in stages, the previously held equity interests in the acquiree is remeasured

to fair value at the acquisition date with any corresponding gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss, and

this impacts the amount of goodwill recognised.

(b) FRS 27 (revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or

after 1 July 2009)

Changes in signifi cant accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the revised FRS 27 include:

– A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted

for as an equity transaction. Therefore, such a change will have no impact on goodwill, nor will it give rise

to a gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss;

– Losses incurred by a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interest even if the losses exceed the

non-controlling interest in the subsidiary’s equity; and

– When control over a subsidiary is lost, any interest retained is measured at fair value with the

corresponding gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss.

According to its transitional provisions, the revised FRS 27 has been applied prospectively, and does not impact

the Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements in respect of transactions with non-controlling interests, attribution

of losses to non-controlling interests and disposal of subsidiaries before 1 January 2010. The changes will affect

future transactions with non-controlling interests.

(c) Amendment to FRS 7 Cash Flow Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010)

Under the amendment, only expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the balance sheet can be classifi ed

as investing activities in the statement of cash fl ows. Previously, such expenditure could be classifi ed as investing

activities in the statement of cash fl ows.

This change has been applied retrospectively. It had no material effect on the amounts presented in the

statement of cash fl ows for the current or prior year.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Standards issued but not yet effective

The Group has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective:

DescriptionEffective for annual periods

beginning on or after

Amendment to FRS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation – Classifi cation of

Rights Issues

1 February 2010

INT FRS 119 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments 1 July 2010

Revised FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures 1 January 2011

Amendments to INT FRS 114 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement 1 January 2011

INT FRS 115 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate 1 January 2011

Except for the revised FRS 24, the directors expect that the adoption of the other standards and interpretations above

will have no material impact on the fi nancial statements in the period of initial application. The nature of the impending

change in accounting policy on adoption of the revised FRS 24 is described below.

Revised FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures

The revised FRS 24 clarifi es the defi nition of a related party to simplify the identifi cation of such relationships and to

eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised FRS 24 expands the defi nition of a related party and would treat

two entities as related to each other whenever a person (or a close member of that person’s family) or a third party has

control or joint control over the entity, or has signifi cant infl uence over the entity. The revised standard also introduces

a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The Group is currently determining the

impact of the changes to the defi nition of a related party has on the disclosure of related party transaction. As this

is a disclosure standard, it will have no impact on the fi nancial position or fi nancial performance of the Group when

implemented in 2011.

Group accounting

(a) Subsidiaries

(i) Consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern

the fi nancial and operating policies so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities, generally accompanied by

a shareholding giving rise to a majority of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting

rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group

controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the

Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.

In preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on

transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are

considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been

changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary

attributable to the interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the equity holders of the

Company. They are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement

of changes in equity and balance sheet. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling

interests based on their respective interests in a subsidiary, even if this results in the non-controlling

interests having a defi cit balance.

(Amounts in Singapore dollars unless otherwise stated)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Group accounting (Continued)

(a) Subsidiaries (Continued)

(ii) Acquisition of businesses

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair value of the assets

transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration

transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of

any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are,

with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree

at the date of acquisition either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the

acquiree’s net identifi able assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree,

and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the

net identifi able assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the

net identifi able assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed,

the difference is recognised directly in profi t or loss as a bargain purchase.

(iii) Disposals of subsidiaries or businesses

The assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, including any goodwill, are derecognised when a change in

the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control over the subsidiary. Amounts

recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are also reclassifi ed to profi t or loss or

transferred directly to retained earnings if required by a specifi c Standard.

Any retained interest in the entity is remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount

of the retained investment at the date when control is lost and its fair value is recognised in profi t or loss.

Currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The individual fi nancial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment

in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in Singapore

dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its

subsidiaries and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those

ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate

of exchange ruling the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in

a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items

measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was

determined.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Currency translation (Continued)

Transactions and balances (Continued)

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the balance

sheet date are recognised in profi t or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part

of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and

accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassifi ed

from equity to profi t or loss of the Group on disposal of the foreign operation.

Translation of the Group’s fi nancial statements

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Singapore dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at

the end of the reporting period and their profi t or loss are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the

transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to other comprehensive income.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign

operation is recognised in the profi t or loss.

In the case of a partial disposal without loss of control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate

share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interest and are not

recognised in profi t or loss. For partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that are foreign operations,

the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

The Group has elected to recycle the accumulated exchange differences in the separate component of other

comprehensive income that arises from the direct method of consolidation, which is the method the Group uses to

complete its consolidation.

Property, plant and equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part

of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs that directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or

production of a qualifying property, plant and equipment. The accounting policy for borrowing costs is set out in this

Note. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that

future economic benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured

reliably.

After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment except for leasehold land and buildings are stated at cost less

accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

Leasehold land and buildings are revalued by the directors every fi ve years or at shorter intervals, if appropriate and

whenever their carrying amounts are likely to differ materially from their fair values. Their fair values are determined by an

independent professional valuer.

Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such leasehold land and buildings is recognised in other

comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the asset revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it

reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profi t or loss, in which case the increase

is recognised in profi t or loss. A revaluation defi cit arising on the revaluation of such leasehold land and buildings is

charged to profi t or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the asset revaluation reserve relating to

a previous revaluation of that asset.

(Amounts in Singapore dollars unless otherwise stated)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Property, plant and equipment (Continued)

All other items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method to write-off the cost of

the assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives have been taken as follows:-

Useful lives (Years)

Leasehold land and buildings 25 years to 60 years (lease term)

Renovations 5 years period or the lease term, whichever is shorter

Plant and equipment 5 – 10

Motor vehicles 4 – 10

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

life and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each balance sheet date to ensure that the

amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefi ts from items of

property, plant and equipment.

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the

difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amounts of the asset and is recognised in the profi t or loss

within “Other operating income (expenses)” and the revaluation reserve related to those asset, if any, is transferred

directly to retained earnings.

Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s balance sheet.

On disposal of investments in subsidiaries the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the

investments are recognised in profi t or loss.

Impairment of non-fi nancial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such

indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of

the asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the asset’s value in use and the asset’s or cash-generating

unit’s fair value less costs to sell and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash

infl ows that are largely dependent on those from other assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-

generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable

amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows expected to be generated by the asset are

discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time

value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation

model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded

subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profi t or loss in those expense categories consistent with

the function of the impaired asset, except for assets that are previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to

other comprehensive income. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive income up to the

amount of any previous revaluation.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of non-fi nancial assets (Continued)

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication

that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists,

the Group estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment

loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of an

asset since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased

to its recoverable amount. This increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net

of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in the profi t and loss

unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Raw materials comprise purchase costs accounted

for on a fi rst-in fi rst-out basis. Work-in-progress and fi nished goods comprise cost of direct materials, direct labour and

an attributable proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. These costs are assigned

on a fi rst-in fi rst-out basis.

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

and estimated costs necessary to be incurred for selling and distribution.

Construction contract work-in-progress

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs associated

with the construction contract should be recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of

completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date.

When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs

incurred that is probable to be recoverable and contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they

are incurred. An expected loss on the construction contract should be recognised as an expense immediately when it is

probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue.

Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and variations in the contract work,

claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and they can be measured

reliably. A variation or a claim is recognised as contract revenue when is probable that the customer will approve the

variation or negotiations have reached an advanced stage such that it is probable that the customer will accept the

claim.

The stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs

for the contract. Costs incurred during the fi nancial year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded

from the costs incurred to date when determining the stage of completion of a contract. Such costs are shown as

construction contract work-in-progress on the balance sheet unless it is not probable that such contract costs are

recoverable from the customers, in which case, such costs are recognised as an expense immediately.

The aggregate of costs incurred and the profi t/loss recognised on each contract is compared against the progress

billings up to the fi nancial year end. Where costs incurred and recognised profi t (less recognised losses) exceed

progress billings, the balance is shown as amount due from customers for contract work. Where progress billings

exceeds costs incurred and recognised profi t (less recognised losses), the excess is shown as amount due to customers

for contract work.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions

of the fi nancial instrument. The Group determines the classifi cation of its fi nancial assets at initial recognition. Financial

assets are initially recognised at fair value plus, in the case of fi nancial assets not at fair value through profi t or loss,

directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

The Group classifi es its investments in fi nancial assets in the following categories: fi nancial assets at fair value

through profi t or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale fi nancial assets. The

classifi cation depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classifi cation

of its fi nancial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date, with the exception

that the designation of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss is not revocable. As at 31 December 2010, the

Group held fi nancial assets in the categories of available-for-sale fi nancial assets and loans and receivables.

(i) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets include equity and debt securities. Equity investments classifi ed as available-for-

sale are those, which are neither classifi ed as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profi t or loss.

Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefi nite period of time and which

may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale fi nancial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or

losses arising from changes in fair value of the fi nancial assets are recognised directly in other comprehensive

income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and

interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profi t or loss. The cumulative gain

or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss as a

reclassifi cation adjustment when the fi nancial asset is derecognised.

Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost less

impairment loss.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not

quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor

with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except those maturing more than

12 months after the balance sheet date which are classifi ed as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are

presented as trade and other receivables on the balance sheet.

Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest rate method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the loans and

receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from the fi nancial assets have expired

or have been transferred. On derecognition of a fi nancial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying

amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other

comprehensive income is recognised in profi t or loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial assets (Continued)

Derecognition (Continued)

All regular way purchases and sales of fi nancial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date basis where

the purchase or sale of fi nancial assets are under a contract whose terms require delivery of the assets within the

timeframe established by the market concerned.

Impairment of fi nancial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or group

of fi nancial assets is impaired and recognised the impairment loss when such evidence exists.

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

An impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and

is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future

cash fl ows discounted at the fi nancial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is

reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in the profi t or loss.

When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired fi nancial assets is reduced directly or if

an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written

off against the carrying value of the fi nancial asset.

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on fi nancial assets has been incurred,

the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor

and default or signifi cant delay in payments.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related

objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss

is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal

date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profi t or loss.

(ii) Assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence (such as signifi cant adverse changes in the business environment where the

issuer operates, probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the issuer) that an impairment loss

on fi nancial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference

between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the

current market rate of return for a similar fi nancial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent

periods.

(iii) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets

Signifi cant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the issuer or obligor,

and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether there is objective

evidence that investment securities classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets are impaired.

When the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any

principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in

the profi t or loss, is transferred from equity to profi t or loss.

The impairment losses recognised as an expense for equity instruments are not reversed through profi t or loss.

The impairment losses recognised as an expense for debt instruments are subsequently reversed if an increase

in the fair value of the instruments can be objectively related to event occurring after the recognition of the

impairment loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of FRS 39 are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group

becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument. The Group determines the classifi cation of its

fi nancial liabilities at initial recognition.

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

attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value. Other fi nancial

liabilities (except for fi nancial guarantee) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

For fi nancial liabilities other than derivatives, gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the liabilities are

derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives

are recognised in profi t or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.

A fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished, discharged, cancelled

or expired. When an existing fi nancial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different

terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modifi ed, such an exchange or modifi cation is treated as a

derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying

amounts is recognised in the profi t or loss.

Provisions

A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event and it

is probable that an outfl ow of resources embodying economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation, and a

reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed regularly at each balance sheet

date and adjusted to refl ect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outfl ow of economic resources

will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Where the effect of the time value of money is material,

the provision is discounted using a current pre tax rate that refl ects, where appropriate, the risks specifi c to the liability.

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

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently accounted for at

amortised costs using the effective interest method. Borrowings which are due to be settled within twelve months after

the balance sheet date are included in current borrowings in the balance sheet even though the original term was for a

period longer than twelve months and an agreement to refi nance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is

completed after the balance sheet date and before the fi nancial statements are authorised for issue. Other borrowings

due to be settled more than twelve months after the balance sheet date are also included in current borrowings in the

balance sheet unless the Group has an unconditional rights to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the

balance sheet date.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement

at inception date: whether fulfi llment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specifi c asset or assets or the

arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. For arrangements entered into prior to 1 January 2005, the date of

inception is deemed to be 1 January 2005 in accordance with the transitional requirements of INT FRS 104.

(i) As lessor

Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classifi ed as

operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount

of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as rental income. The accounting

policy for rental income is set out in this Note. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which

they are earned.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Leases (Continued)

(ii) As lessee

Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to

ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased item

or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between

the fi nance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on

the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Finance charges are charged directly to profi t or loss.

Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Capitalised lease

assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, if there is no

reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased

item are classifi ed as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profi t or

loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefi t of incentives provided by the lessor is

recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Financial guarantees

The Company has issued corporate guarantees to banks for bank borrowings of its subsidiaries. These guarantees

are fi nancial guarantee contracts as they require the Company to reimburse the banks if the subsidiaries fail to make

principal or interest payments when due in accordance with the terms of their borrowings.

Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised as a liability at their fair values, plus transaction costs directly

attributable to the issuance of the guarantees in the Company’s balance sheet. Subsequent to initial recognition,

fi nancial guarantee contracts are recognised as income in profi t or loss over the period of the guarantee. If it is probable

that the liabilities will be higher than the amount initially recognised less amortisation, the liability is recorded at the higher

amount with the difference charged to profi t or loss.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares

are deducted against share capital.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Group and the revenue

can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding

discounts, rebates and sales taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements to determine if it is acting

as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. The

following specifi c recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership, which

generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed. Revenue is

not recognised to the extent where there are signifi cant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration

due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.

(ii) Revenue from the rendering of service is recognised during the fi nancial year in which the services are rendered,

by reference to completion of the specifi c transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a

proportion of the total services to be performed.

(iii) Revenue from projects is recognised using the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage of completion

for a given project is determined after considering the relationship of the cost of work done to-date to total

contract cost for the project. Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised to

the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

Revenue recognition (Continued)

(iv) Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding

and the effective interest rates applicable.

(v) Rental income arising from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Employees’ benefi ts

(i) Retirement benefi ts

The Group and the Company participates in the national schemes as defi ned by the laws of the countries in

which it has operations.

The Company makes contribution to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Scheme in Singapore, a defi ned

contribution pension schemes.

Obligations for contributions to defi ned contribution retirement plans are recognised as an expense in the period

in which the related service is performed.

(ii) Employee leave entitlement

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for

the estimated liability as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

(iii) Employee Share Option Scheme

The KLW Holdings Employee Share Option Scheme allows the Group employees to acquire shares of the

Company. In respect of share options granted after 22 November 2002 but not vested after 1 January 2005,

the fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity.

The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become

unconditionally entitled to the options. At each balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimates of the

number of options that are expected to become exercisable. It recognises the impact of the revision of original

estimates in employee expense and in a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.

When the options are exercised, equity is increased by the amount of the proceeds received.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition,

construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare

the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing

cost are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs

are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs

in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from

the tax authorities, using tax rates and tax laws that have been substantially enacted by the balance sheet date in the

countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Current income taxes are recognised in profi t or

loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profi t or loss, either in other comprehensive

income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to

situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income tax (Continued)

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the fi nancial

statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profi t, is accounted for using the

balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences

and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profi ts will be available against

which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary

difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and

liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profi t nor the accounting profi t.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except

where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary

difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is

no longer probable that suffi cient taxable profi ts will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the

asset realised, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet

date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profi t or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to

other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income

or equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against

current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends

to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

(a) the party, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common

control with the Group; or has an interest in the Group that gives it signifi cant infl uence over the Group; or has

joint control over the Group;

(b) the party is an associate; a jointly-controlled entity;

(c) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or its parent;

(d) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (a) and (c);

(e) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or signifi cantly infl uenced by or for which signifi cant

voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to (c) or (d); or

a related party of the Group.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash fl ows, cash and cash equivalent comprises cash on hand,

deposits with fi nancial institutions, and short term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of

cash and subjected to an insignifi cant risk of changes in value. These also include bank overdrafts that form an integral

part of the Group’s cash management.

Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the executive committee

whose members are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other

factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

i. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by

defi nition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a signifi cant risk of

causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year are

discussed below.

(a) Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Group assesses annually whether property, plant and equipment have any indication of impairment in

accordance with the accounting policy. The recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment have

been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of judgement

and estimates.

(b) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated

economic useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment to

be within 4 to 60 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could

impact the economic useful lives of these assets, therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised.

The carrying amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment at the balance sheet date is disclosed

in Note 4 to the fi nancial statements.

(c) Impairment of loans and receivables

An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a fi nancial asset is impaired. If

the fi nancial conditions of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability

to make payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods. Management specifi cally

reviews its loan and receivables and analyse historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer

creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when making a

judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for impairment loss. At the balance sheet date, the

receivables are measured at fair value and their fair values might change materially within the next fi nancial

year but these changes would not arise from assumptions or other sources of estimation uncertainty at

the balance sheet date. The carrying amounts of the Group's trade and other receivables at the balance

sheet date are disclosed in Note 8 to the fi nancial statements.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements (Continued)

i. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (Continued)

(d) Impairment of subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss in the Company’s balance

sheet. This investment is reviewed for impairment whenever there is any indication that the assets may be

impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to

sell and value in use) of the asset is estimated to determine the amount of impairment loss.

For the purpose of impairment assessment of the investment, recoverable amount is determined for

the cash generating units (“CGU”) to which the investment belongs. In estimating the value in use, the

Company makes an estimate of the expected future cash fl ows from the CGU and also to choose a

suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash fl ows. These estimates are

subjective by nature subjective. Actual results could differ signifi cantly from these estimates.

(e) Income tax

The Group has exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Signifi cant judgement is involved in

determining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations

for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group

recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due.

Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised,

such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such

determination is made. The carrying amount of the Group’s deferred tax liabilities and income tax as at 31

December 2010 are disclosed in Note 12 and 20 respectively.

(f) Net realisable value of inventories

Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less

estimated costs of computation and selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market

condition and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature. It could change signifi cant

as a result of competitor actions in response to secure industry cycles. Management will reassess the

estimations at the balance sheet date. The carrying amounts of the Group's inventories are at the balance

sheet date are disclosed in Note 7 to the fi nancial statements.

Trust receipts 5.28 6.13 5.25 5.25

The Group’s bank borrowings include covenants that require the maintenance of certain fi nancial ratios. Non-compliance

with these covenants will result in these borrowings being repayable immediately. At year end date, certain fi nancial

ratios of the Group have been breached. As at the date of this report, the Group has not received notice from the

fi nancial institutions for the acceleration of the loans as a result of such breaches nor did the Company receive any

waiver as to the breach of fi nancial covenants. However, the Group has been continuing made payment to the fi nancial

institutions in accordance to the repayment schedule.

As at the date of report, the fi nancial institutions have not demanded immediate repayment. In the opinion of the

directors, the recall of loans is not likely and if any, will not result in liquidity diffi culties.

20. INCOME TAX (Continued)

The tax expense on the results of the fi nancial year varies from the amount of income tax determined by applying the

Singapore statutory rate of income tax on loss as a result of the following:

Group

$ $

Loss before tax (6,830,236) (5,246,570)

Utilisation of deferred tax assets on temporary differences not recognised 116,709 (192,317)

(936,325) 911,734

The Singapore corporate tax rate applicable to Singapore companies of the Group was reduced from 18% to 17% for

the year of assessment 2010 and onwards.

The Company and certain subsidiaries have unrecognised tax losses of approximately S$39,164,000 (2009:

$35,745,000) respectively which can be carried forward and used to offset against future taxable income subject to

meeting certain statutory requirements by those companies in their respective countries of incorporation.

Unutilised tax benefi ts at 31 December 2010 approximately totaling S$6,658,000 (2009: $6,076,000) arising from

unabsorbed tax losses and capital allowance have not been recognised as it is not probable that future taxable profi t

will be available against when these unabsorbed tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances can be utilised.

21. LOSS PER SHARE

Group

2010 2009

$ $

The calculation of loss per share is based on the following:

Basic and diluted loss per shareNet loss attributable to equity holders of the Company (6,131,234) (3,172,245)

Number of sharesWeighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes

of basic and diluted loss per share 566,747,032 310,113,773

Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss after tax attributable to members by the weighted

average number of fully paid ordinary shares in issue during the fi nancial year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company and

the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary

shares. The Company had two dilutive potential ordinary shares: warrants and share options.

(Amounts in Singapore dollars unless otherwise stated)

68 KLW Holdings Limited Annual Report 2010

21. LOSS PER SHARE (Continued)

For warrants and share options, the weighted average number of shares on issue has been adjusted as if all of the

warrants and share options were exercised. The number of shares that could have been issued upon the exercise of all

of the warrants and share options less the number of shares that could have been issued at fair value (determined as

the Company’s average market price for the fi nancial year) for all the same total proceeds is added to the denominator

as the number of shares issued for no consideration. No adjustment is made to net loss.

Share options and warrants have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are

anti-dilutive for current and previous fi nancial years. There is no dilutive effect arising from share options and warrants as

the exercise prices of the share options and warrants were higher than the Company’s coverage share price during the

fi nancial years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009.

25. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group has three (2009: four) reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business

units. Pursuant to the liquidation of a group of subsidiaries, the Group is no longer engaged in retail operations. The

strategic business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different

technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Group’s CEO reviews internal

management reports on a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operation in each of the Group’s

reportable segments:

Manufacturing – manufacture and distribution of doors, furniture and fi ttings, wood related products.

Retail – retail of home furnishing and lifestyle products.

Trading – import and distribution of lockets, iron mongeries, sourcing and distribution of fashion

and hair accessories, body care products and cosmetics.

Rental and projects – rental of premises, supply and installation of doors and wood based fl ooring.

Other operations of the Group mainly comprise investment holdings, which is not a suffi cient size to be reported

separately.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on

segment profi t before income tax, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group’s

CEO. Segment profi t is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most

relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-

segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

There are no inter-segment transactions. Unallocated costs represent mainly corporate expenses. Segment assets

consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, inventories, receivables and operating cash, and mainly exclude

investments. Segment liabilities comprise operating liabilities and exclude items such as taxation and borrowings. Capital

expenditure comprises additions to property, plant and equipment (Note 4).

Foreign exchange risk sensitivity

The following table details the sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Singapore Dollars

against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency

denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign

currency rates.

A 10% weakening of Singapore Dollars against the above currencies at the reporting date would have

had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amount shown above, on the basis that

all other variables remains constant.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group obtains additional fi nancing through bank borrowings and loan from related parties.

The Group’s policy to obtain the most favourable interest rates available without increasing its foreign

currency exposure. The Group constantly monitor its interest rate risk and does not utilise forward

contracts or other arrangements for trading or speculative purposes. As at 31 December 2010, there

were no such arrangements, interest rate swap contracts or other derivative instruments outstanding.

The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the Group’s and Company’s fi nancial

instruments, that are exposed to interest rate risk:

28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued)

(a) Market risk (Continued)

(ii) Interest rate risk (Continued)

Interest risk sensitivity

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-

derivative instruments at the balance sheet date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning

of the fi nancial year and held constant throughout the reporting periods in the case of instruments

that have fl oating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk

internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible

change in interest rates.

If the interest rates had been 0.5% higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s

loss for the year ended 31 December 2010 would increase / decrease by $37,168 (2009: decrease /

increase by $79,159). This mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable

rates borrowings.

(b) Liquidity risk

The Group and Company monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed

adequate by management to fi nance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fl uctuations in cash

fl ows. Typically, the Group ensures that it has suffi cient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses

including the servicing of fi nancial obligations.

The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturity for non-derivative fi nancial liabilities. The tables have

been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash fl ows of fi nancial liabilities based on the earliest date on which

the Group and Company can be required to pay.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in fi nancial loss

to the Group. For trade receivables, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate

credit history, and obtaining suffi cient security where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. For other fi nancial assets,

the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with high credit quality counterparties. It is the Group’s policy that all

customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verifi cation procedures. Exposure to the credit

risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group does not require collateral in respect of fi nancial assets. The

maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts of each fi nancial asset in the balance

sheet.

At the balance sheet date, there is signifi cant concentration of credit risk from certain subsidiaries. A total of 16

(2009: 16) customers account for about 36% (2009: 42%) of the total receivables of the Group.

The credit term granted to trade receivables range form 45 to 90 days (2009: 45 to 90 days) term. No interest is

charged on the trade receivables balances.

Cash and bank balances are placed with reputable local fi nancial institutions. Therefore, credit risk arises mainly

from the inability of its customers to make payments when due. The amounts presented in the balance sheets

are net of allowances for impairment of trade receivables, estimated by management based on prior experience

and the current economic environment.

in the Group’s and Company’s trade receivables balance are debtors with total carrying amount of $5,624,328

and $327,097 (2009: $4,282,135 and $113,557) respectively, which are past due but not impaired as there has

29. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities reported on the balance sheet approximate their

respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these fi nancial instruments.

Fair value information has not been disclosed for the Group’s available-for-sale fi nancial assets that are not carried at

fair value because their fair value cannot be measured reliably. Further details of available-for-sale fi nancial assets are as

disclosed in Note 6. This equity instrument is not quoted on any market and does not have a comparable industry peer

that is listed.
