UtilitiesOur Utilities Business is one of our four core business segments. We are an important utilities service provider in the Riau Archipelago, providing electricity, telecommunications, clean drinking water, telecommunications and waste management services in Bintan and Batam islands from our locations at the Batamindo Industrial Park, Bintan Industrial Estate and Bintan Resorts.
Investments in our utilities infrastructure are significant, with a book value in excess of S$435 million. We have in operation 29 generators and 3 water treatment plants as well as two large reservoirs, which are able to produce, over 160MW of electrical power and 25,000 cubic meters per day of clean water for our customers.
Our power generation facilities are designed to manage system redundancy and cope with potential surges in electricity consumption. Our stand-by generating capacity is able to generate up to 30% of installed capacity. In addition, we maintain a strategic reserve of fuel which is sufficient for 15 to 60 days of normal production. These back-up facilities ensure uninterrupted power supply in emergencies and ultimately provide peace of mind for our tenants.

Property DevelopmentOur Property Development Business is focused on master planning and developing our 18,000 hectare landbank in Bintan. We believe that ultimately Bintan can provide a perfect sub-urban endroit in which 21st century citizens can combine work/live/play in an ecologically self-sustaining environment.
Within our Lagoi Bay Development (LBD), a 1,300 hectare plot of prime land set on a 6km white sand bay, and boasting some of the most spectacular shorelines in Bintan, we have made progress building our Lagoi Bay Village (LBV). On completion, it will house over 150 new businesses, 10 new hotel properties, condominiums and housing compounds, adding over 3,000 keys to Bintan Resorts’ current 1,300 key count. With 5 hotels and 2 housing projects already confirmed and under development, LBV will lead the rebranding of Bintan from weekend holiday destination, to a place where the full time live/play/work equation is irresistible.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
2011 was a building year for us, as the economies
in Asia grew and our customers continued to slowly
recover from the effects of the financial crisis in 2008-
2009. Our businesses had mixed results as compared
to 2010 but we are well placed for taking advantage of
the global economic recovery that is slowly but surely
beginning to take place.
UTILITIES
Our Utilities business continues to be our largest
business, generating over 56% of our revenues.
Utilities revenues fell almost 5% on the back of lower
demand in the second half of the year as a result of the
major supply chain disruptions caused by the 2011
Japan tsunami and Thailand flooding. On our right is
a chart illustrating our tenant’s electricity demand in
kwh comparing 2010 and 2011 which is a good proxy
for our overall Utilities business.
The most salient point, however, is that around $14.6 million of the $20.4 million of sales recognized were contracts that were signed in 2011 – in other words, the time lag between contract and recognition of sales to our accounts has finally shrunk, and we can look forward to more timely recognition of new sales going forward.

INDUSTRIAL PARKS
Our Industrial Parks business continues to be the second largest revenue generator with just over 22% of our revenues. We
welcomed a number of new tenants from new industries to our Parks in 2011, and we believe that the refocused marketing
efforts will lead to a rebranding of our Parks to attract new and different industries to take advantage of Indonesia and Bintan’s
fundamental competitive advantages.
12 2011 Annual Report Gallant Venture Ltd.
Overall revenues fell around 2% versus 2010 due to slightly
lower overall occupancy levels (80.7% versus 81.6% in 2010)
and lower average rental rates. However we were able to
improve contribution from a net loss of $7.4 million in 2010
to a net loss of $4.2 million in 2011 through cost controls,
reduced operating expenses, and a one-off tax adjustment
of over $1.1 million. This improved position, combined with
renewed marketing efforts and new incoming manufacturing
clusters, portends an improving outlook for the Industrial Parks
business in 2012.
RESORTS
Our Resorts business improved in 2011 as compared to
2010, increasing revenues by over 12% to $23.7 million.
Tourist arrivals to Bintan Resorts increased by 8% to 470,470
passengers, and a significant improvement in the contribution
numbers reduced the loss from $8.4 million in 2010 to $6.6
million in 2011. One of the significant contributors to the
improved numbers was the increasingly popular Emerald Class
premium product on our ferries. Bintan Resorts has benefited
from a significant increase of tourist arrivals from Asia and
an increasingly adventurous domestic travel business. We
continue to be optimistic about the business and the first
month of 2012 has been one of the best months ever.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
Our Lagoi Bay project continues to evolve, and we recommend
you take a trip to Bintan to investigate for yourself. The
curvilinear ambulatory park surrounding the lake is a calm
and peaceful place to walk in the morning and evening with
the backdrop of first growth jungle on the southern side of
the lake. The pedestrian zone including the shopping mall
is substantially completed and is expected to open in the 2nd
half of 2012. A new condominium/service apartment/hotel
project has broken ground just to the south of the mall, and
has sold over 50% off plan in the first two months.
Our new master plan, developed by the world renowned Dr
Alfonso Vegara, including zoning for 3 new Lagoi Bay type
developments (called Pueblos Touristicas by Dr Vegara) will
be presented to the public at the Center for Livable Cities
Conference in April, and has already generated interest from
European developers looking to participate in large scale
developments in Bintan.
Sales continue to gain traction with over $20 million in sales
recognized in 2011, and an increasing order book as well. Net
contribution fell to $9.8 million in 2011 on sales recognition of
$20.4 million. This is a decline from the $20.3 million in 2010
when we had the first of the Lagoi Bay sales recognized, but
represents a combination of both order book fulfillment and new
sales. The most salient point, however, is that around $14.6
million of the $20.4 million of sales recognized were contracts
that were signed in 2011 – in other words, the time lag between
contract and recognition of sales to our accounts has finally
shrunk, and we can look forward to more timely recognition of
new sales going forward.
PT SILO
In the 4th quarter of 2011 we converted into equity our
convertible bonds in PT SILO, and as a result have recognized
$0.7 million of contribution through equity accounting. PT SILO
will become a significant contributor to our results in 2013/2014
when their new iron ore processing facility is completed, and we
are extremely pleased with the results to date.
LAO XI MEN
Our Shanghai project has made progress, and Phase One is
expected to be ready for sale to the public in Q1 2013. While
the overall China property market has retreated, our investment
in Lao Xi Men is well positioned, with a low carrying cost, and
we look forward to a very significant contribution to our results
in the future.
Overall, while our results have declined from 2010, we believe
that our investments in our growth businesses of Property
Development and Resorts, as well as our investments in PT
SILO and Lao Xi Men, will make very significant contributions to
our results in the coming years, while our Utilities and Industrial
Parks businesses will continue to provide the backbone
on which our company was formed. We thank you for your
continued support and hope to see you soon at our Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders.
Sincerely,
Lim Hock San

Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 13
FINANCIAL YEAR 2011
Year 2011 witnessed a deepening Sovereign debt and macro-economic crisis in Europe, slower than expected recovery in USA and worries of economic slowdown in China. In Asia, natural disasters in Japan and Thailand have affected supply chains in the region. With continued uncertainties in Europe and USA, Asia has become the focus for Foreign Direct Investment.
Our industrial parks experienced tough competition and our industrial space rental rates remain depressed. Towards late 2011, the Group saw increased enquiries on relocation or co-location of manufacturing facilities to South Asia. With our long track record and established market position in Riau, the Group is confident of benefiting from the shift of production facilities to the region.
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan and floods in Thailand have severely affected our industrial tenants’ supply chain. Production in 2Q and 3Q 2011 was
noticeably lower and has affected electricity consumption during the period and accordingly affected our utilities division. This division remains profitable and is experiencing healthy recovery from the slowdown towards end-FY2011.
Our property development division continues to gain traction with delivery of approximately S$20.4 million of land sales and a target to bring Phase One of Lagoi Bay Development to completion by end-FY2012. With key infrastructure coming to completion and upcoming resort developments, the Group hopes to continue the momentum in delivery of more land sales in the near future. As at December 2011, progress of key Lagoi Bay Development projects is as follows:
• Lagoi Bay Development
Business Review
14 2011 Annual Report Gallant Venture Ltd.
Key infrastructures (such as roads, central lake, landscaping and parcelisation) are near completion with several hotel investors starting development of their hotel properties. Phase One of the development is expected to be completed by late FY2012.
• Lagoi Bay Village
• Residential Sites – Pantai Indah
Opening of Bintan Resort Ferries Emerald Lounge at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal
With the opening of the Emerald Lounge in May 2011 at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, visitors to Bintan Resorts enjoy seamless connection between Singapore and Bintan and enhance their travel experience with exclusive use of the lounge.
At the lounge, passengers can enjoy complimentary refreshments and internet access in pleasant surroundings while the young ones can be kept entertained in the children’s play area. Buggy services are available to all Emerald class passengers. These added services were well received and we saw 22% increase in Emerald class traveling from 2010’s.
PT SILO
In the 4th quarter of 2011, we began to equity account PT SILO’s financials. The management expects PT SILO to contribute positively to the Group in the coming years.
Lao Xi Men
Our Shanghai project is progressing as planned. Phase One, consisting mainly of residential units, is expected to be ready for sale by late 2012 with project completion by 1st half of 2014. Phase Two of the project, a mixture of commercial and residential units, is expected to be completed by FY2015.
GOING FORWARD
The Group will continue to focus on the growth of Bintan Resort, capitalizing on our existing assets while our other investments yield significant results in future.
Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 15
The superstructures of the two anchor malls and the village are completed. The management expects to complete the malls and its support infrastructure (such as roads, landscaping and pedestrian walkway) by 2nd half of 2012 and open them to public access during the same period.
With the opening of the Emerald Lounge in May 2011 at Tanah
Merah Ferry Terminal, visitors to Bintan Resorts enjoy seamless
connection between Singapore and Bintan and enhance their
travel experience with exclusive use of the lounge.
The superstructures of several beachfront villas are completed. Works on exterior, mechanical, electrical and plumbing are progressing well and we expect to complete them by end-2012. The Phase One is expected to be ready for occupancy by late FY2012 or early FY2013.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2011, The Group’s FY2011 revenue was S$203.4 million, which was 7.6% lower than FY2010’s S$220.1 million. The decrease was mainly due to lower land sales, S$20.4 million as compared to FY2010’s S$33.3 million, recognized in FY2011. Utilities business segment continued to be the largest revenue contributor, with sales amounting to S$114.1 million. The industrial park and resort operation registered S$45.1 million and S$23.8 million revenue respectively.
The Group’s Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) was S$68.6 million as compared to S$76.1 million in FY2010. Contributions from our four business segments were S$31.2 million from utilities, S$27 million from industrial parks, S$11.3 million from property development and S$2.9 million from resort operations.
The Group’s net profit attributable to shareholders for FY2011 was S$8.3 million as compared to FY2010’s S$9.3 million. Lower net profit was mainly due to provision for doubtful debts and fair value accounting of foreign currency denominated financial assets.
Basic and diluted EPS during the period under review were 0.34 cents per share and the Group’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share as at 31 December 2011 was 51.94 cents.
UTILITIES
Our utilities business registered lower revenue of S$114.1 million as compared to FY2010’s S$119.6 million. This was mainly due to lower power consumption as the result of major supply chain disruptions caused by the 2011
Financial Review

Japan tsunami and floods in Thailand. Accordingly, electricity generation decreased by approximately 6%. Coupled with the higher fuel and gas cost, profit contribution from the Utilities segment has decreased from S$12.1 million to S$9.3 million.
INDUSTRIAL PARKS
The Group continues to offer competitive rental packages to remain competitive in the industrial rental space. Industrial Parks’ reported revenue of S$45.1 million, which was 2% lower than previous year’s S$46.1 million but was substantially mitigated by lower operating cost control / reduction measures and a one-off corporate tax credit of S$1.1 million. Accordingly, the Industrial Parks division registered lower segmental loss of S$5.3 million in FY2011 as compared to FY2010’s S$7.4 million segmental profit.
RESORTS
Bintan Resorts continues to benefit from higher tourist arrivals through Singapore and noticeable higher domestic travel. This year, tourist arrivals increased from FY 2010’s 433,674 visitors to 470,470 in FY 2011, representing an 8.5% improvement. Increased tourist arrival contributed positively to our ferry and resorts support services, representing a 14% improvement from FY2010’s.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
Our property development business continues to deliver land titles to property investors as our Lagoi Bay Development is progressing towards completion. The Group recognized S$20.4 million of land sales with net profit of approximately S$10.9 million in FY2011.

Statement of Corporate Governance
Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 25
The Board of Directors of Gallant Venture Ltd. (the “Company”), is committed to high standards of corporate governance and has adopted the corporate governance practices contained in the Code of Corporate Governance (“Code”) so as to ensure greater transparency and protection of shareholders interests. This statement outlines the main corporate governance practices that were in place throughout the fi nancial year.
BOARD MATTERS
The Board’s Conduct of its Affairs
Principle 1: Every company should be headed by an effective Board to lead and control the company. The Board is collectively responsible for the success of the company. The Board works with Management to achieve this and the Management remains accountable to the Board.
The primary role of the Board is to protect and enhance long-term shareholders’ value. It sets the corporate strategies of the Group, sets directions and goals for the Management. It supervises the Management and monitors performance of these goals to enhance shareholders’ value. The Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Group.
Regular meetings are held to deliberate the strategic policies of the Company including signifi cant acquisitions and disposals, review and approve annual budgets, review the performance of the business and approve the public release of periodic fi nancial results.
The Board has formed Board Committees namely the Audit Committee, the Nominating Committee and the Remuneration Committee to assist in carrying out and discharging its duties and responsibilities effi ciently and effectively.
These Committees function within clearly defi ned terms of references and operating procedures, which are reviewed on a regular basis. The effectiveness of each Committee is also constantly reviewed by the Board.
The following table discloses the number of meetings held for Board and Board Committees and the attendance of all Directors for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2011: -

Statement of Corporate Governance
26 2011 Annual Report Gallant Venture Ltd.
While the Board considers Directors’ attendance at Board meetings to be important, it should not be the only criterion to measure their contributions. It also takes into account the contributions by board members in other forms including periodical reviews, provision of guidance and advice on various matters relating to the Group.
Board Composition and Balance
Principle 2: There should be a strong and independent element on the Board, which is able to exercise objective judgement on corporate affairs independently, in particular, from Management. No individual or small group of individuals should be allowed to dominate the Board’s decision making.
As at the date of this Report, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) comprises eight members, of whom three are Non-Executive and three are Independent Directors:
1. Mr Lim Hock San Non-Executive Chairman and Independent Director
2. Mr Eugene Cho Park Executive Director and Chief Executive Offi cer
3. Mr Gianto Gunara Executive Director
4. Dr Tan Chin Nam Non-Executive Director
5. Ms Low Sin Leng Non-Executive Director
6. BG (Ret) Chin Chow Yoon Non-Executive Director
7. Mr Foo Ko Hing Independent Director
8. Mr Rivaie Rachman Independent Director
The criterion for independence is based on the defi nition given in the Code of Corporate Governance (“Code”). The Board considers an “Independent” Director as one who has no relationship with the Company, its related companies or its offi cers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment of the conduct of the Group’s affairs. The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee, based on the defi nition of independence as stated in the Code.
The Board is of the view that the current Board members comprise persons whose diverse skills, experience and attributes provide for effective direction for the Group. The composition of the Board will be reviewed on an annual basis by the Nominating Committee to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience, and collectively possess the necessary core competencies for effective functioning and informed decision-making.
Key information regarding the Directors is given in the ‘Board of Directors’ section of the Annual Report.
Particulars of interests of Directors who held offi ce at the end of the fi nancial year in shares, debentures, warrants and share options in the Company and in related corporations (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries) are set out in the Directors’ Report .
Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer
Principle 3: There should be a clear division of responsibilities at the top of the company – the working of the Board and the executive responsibility of the company’s business – which will ensure a balance of power and authority, such that no one individual represents a considerable concentration of power.
Statement of Corporate Governance
Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 27
The roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Offi cer (“CEO”) are separate and distinct, each having their own areas of responsibilities. The Company believes that a distinctive separation of responsibilities between the Chairman and the CEO will ensure an appropriate balance of power, increased accountability and greater capacity of the Board for independent decision-making. The posts of Chairman and CEO are held by Mr Lim Hock San and Mr Eugene Cho Park, respectively.
The Chairman, Mr Lim Hock San is primarily responsible for overseeing the overall management and strategic development of the Company.
His responsibilities include:
• Chairing meetings on key strategic development and investment plans;
• Ensuring regular meetings (with the assistance of the Company Secretaries) to enable the Board to perform its duties responsibly while not interfering with the fl ow of the Group’s operations;
• Preparing meeting agenda (in consultation with the CEO and CFO);
• Assisting in ensuring the Company is in compliance with the Code; and
• Reviewing board papers that are presented to the Board.
In assuming his roles and responsibilities, Mr Lim Hock San consults with the Board, Audit Committee, Nominating Committee and Remuneration Committee on major issues and as such, the Board believes that there are adequate safeguards in place against having a concentration of power and authority in a single individual.
The Company’s CEO, Mr Eugene Cho Park is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company and the Group’s affairs. Mr Eugene Cho Park reports to the Board and ensures that policies and strategies adopted by the Board are implemented.
Board Membership
Principle 4: There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment of new Directors to the Board.
The Nominating Committee (“NC”) was constituted on 31 October 2006 and comprises four members, majority of whom including its Chairman are independent. The members of the NC are:
• Mr Rivaie Rachman (Chairman) Independent Director
• Mr Lim Hock San Independent Director
• Mr Foo Ko Hing Independent Director
• BG (Ret) Chin Chow Yoon Non-Executive Director
The primary function of the NC is to determine the criteria for identifying candidates and reviewing nominations for the appointment of directors to the Board and also to decide how the Board’s performance may be evaluated and to propose objective performance criteria for the Board’s approval.
Statement of Corporate Governance
28 2011 Annual Report Gallant Venture Ltd.
The NC functions under the terms of reference which sets out its responsibilities:
(a) To recommend to the Board on all board appointments, re-appointments and re-nominations;
(b) To ensure that Independent Directors meet SGX-ST’s guidelines and criteria; and
(c) To assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the effectiveness and contribution of each Director to the Board.
The Articles of Association of the Company require that one-third of the Board retire from offi ce at each Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). Accordingly, the Directors will submit themselves for re-nomination and re-election at regular intervals of at least once every three years. The NC has conducted an annual review of the independence of the Independent Directors, using the criteria of independence in the Code, and has determined that they are independent.
Board Performance
Principle 5: There should be a formal assessment of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the contribution by each director to the effectiveness of the Board.
The NC examines the Board’s size to satisfy that it is appropriate for effective decision making, taking into account the nature and scope of the Company’s operations.
The NC has reviewed and evaluated the performance of the Board as a whole, taking into consideration the attendance record at the meetings of the Board and Board Committees and also the contribution of each Director to the effectiveness of the Board.
Access to Information
Principle 6: In order to fulfi ll their responsibilities, Board members should be provided with complete, adequate and timely information prior to board meetings and on an on-going basis.
All Directors are from time to time furnished with information concerning the Company to enable them to be fully cognisant of the decisions and actions of the Company’s executive management. The Board has unrestricted access to the Company’s records and information.
Senior members of management provide information whenever necessary in the form of briefi ngs to the Directors or formal presentations in attendance at Board meetings, or by external consultants engaged on specifi c projects.
The Board has separate and independent access to the Company Secretaries and to other senior management executives of the Company and of the Group at all times in carrying out their duties. The Company Secretaries attend all Board meetings and meetings of the Committees of the Company and ensure that Board procedures are followed and that applicable rules and regulations are complied with. The minutes of all Board Committees’ meetings are circulated to the Board.
The Board takes independent professional advice, and when necessary, at the Company’s expense, concerning any aspect of the Group’s operations or undertakings in order to discharge its responsibilities effectively.

Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 29

Level and Mix of Remuneration
Principle 8: The level of remuneration should be appropriate to attract, retain and motivate the Directors needed to run the company successfully but companies should avoid paying more than is necessary for this purpose. A signifi cant proportion of executive Directors’ remuneration should be structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance.
In setting remuneration packages, the Remuneration Committee will take into consideration the pay and employment conditions within the industry and in comparable companies. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is also reviewed to ensure that the remuneration is commensurate with the contribution and responsibilities of the Directors.

Audit Committee

Mr Lim Hock San (Chairman)Ms Low Sin Leng Mr Foo Ko HingMr Rivaie Rachman
The Audit Committee carried out its functions in accordance with Section 201B of the Companies Act, the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) and the Code of Corporate Governance.
The Audit Committee reviewed the overall scope of both the internal and external audits and the assistance given by the Company’s offi cers to the auditors. It met with the Company’s internal and external auditors to discuss the results of their respective examinations and their evaluation of the Company’s system of internal accounting controls. The Audit Committee also reviewed the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group and the fi nancial statements of the Company for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2011 as well as the auditor’s report thereon prior to consideration and approval by the Board, announcement of the unaudited results for quarterly, half-yearly and full year to SGX-ST and interested party transactions (as defi ned in the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST).
The Audit Committee has full access to management and is given the resources required for it to discharge its functions. It has full authority and the discretion to invite any Director or Executive Offi cer to attend its meetings.
The Audit Committee has also conducted a review of the fees paid or payable to the auditors for non-audit services for fi nancial year ended 31 December 2011. In pursuance with Section 206(1A) of the Companies Act, Cap. 50, and based on the review by the Audit Committee and its recommendation, the Board is also satisfi ed that the level of non-audit fees paid or payable to the auditors did not affect the independence of the auditors.
The Audit Committee has therefore recommended to the Board of Directors the nomination of Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton LLP as external auditors at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Independent Auditors’ ReportTo the Members of Gallant Venture Ltd.
40 2011 Annual Report Gallant Venture Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of Gallant Venture Ltd. (“the Company”) and of its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the statements of fi nancial position of the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2011, 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, Cap. 50 (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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. 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 and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the statement of fi nancial position 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 2011 and the results, changes in equity and cash fl ows of the Group for the fi nancial year ended on that date.

Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 47
1 General information
The fi nancial statements of the Company and of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on the date of the Statement by Directors.
The Company was incorporated as a limited liability company and domiciled in Singapore.
The registered offi ce and the principal place of business is at 991A Alexandra Road #02-06/07, Singapore 119969.
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 7 to the fi nancial statements.
2(a) Basis of preparation
The fi nancial statements are prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) including related Interpretations to FRS (“INT FRS”) promulgated by the Accounting Standards Council. The fi nancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The fi nancial statements are presented in Singapore dollars which is the Company’s functional currency. All fi nancial information is presented in Singapore dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Signifi cant accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the fi nancial statements in conformity with FRS requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 differ from those estimates.
Critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
(i) Judgement
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described below, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most signifi cant effect on the amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements.
Income tax
The Group has exposure to income taxes in several 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.
Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2011
48 2011 Annual Report Gallant Venture Ltd.
2(a) Basis of preparation (cont’d)
(i) Judgement (cont’d)
Operating lease commitments - as lessor
The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment properties. The Group has determined that it retains all the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases.
Investment properties
The Group classifi es certain buildings and improvements as investment properties as these are leased out to earn rental income. An insignifi cant portion of investment properties is held for use in the supply of services or for administration purposes.
Land inventories
The net realisable value for land inventories are estimated based primarily on the latest selling prices and current market conditions. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of the land inventories.
If the net realisable value of land inventories decrease by 10% from management’s estimates, there will be no impact in the carrying value of the land inventories.
(ii) Estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, 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 as follows:
Employee benefi ts
An estimate for employee benefi ts liability involves actuarial assumptions and management estimates on discount rate, annual salary increases, mortality rate, retirement age, turnover rates and disability rates. The balances of employee benefi ts liabilities as at 31 December 2011 amounted to $8,514,000.
Allowance for bad and doubtful debts
Allowance for bad and doubtful debts are based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identifi cation of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expected outcome is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact carrying value of trade and other receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed.

Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 49
2(a) Basis of preparation (cont’d)
(ii) Estimation uncertainty (cont’d)
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment to be within 2 to 80 years. The carrying amount of the Company’s and the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2011 are $169,000 and $307,665,000 respectively. Changes in the expected level of usage could impact the economic useful lives of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
Impairment of goodwill
As at 31 December 2011, the carrying amount of goodwill is $1,164,000. The assessment of impairment of goodwill was determined based on the recoverable amount of the Group’s cash-generating units (“CGU”) according to business segments. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculation. This calculation uses cash fl ow projections based on fi nancial budgets approved by management covering a fi ve-year period. These cash fl ows projections are based on the future contributions from rental and utilities income in Bintan Island by the Group.
The estimated future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate of 6.33% that refl ects current market assessments of time value of money. The present value is not sensitive to changes in discount rates.
Impairment of investment in subsidiaries
Determining whether investment in subsidiaries is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use of that investment. The value-in-use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash fl ows expected from the cash-generating units and an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the future cash fl ows. Management has evaluated the recoverability of the investment based on such estimates and determined that no allowance for impairment of investment in subsidiaries is deemed required.
The accounting policies used by the Group have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these fi nancial statements.
2(b) Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2011
On 1 January 2011, the Group adopted the new or amended FRS and INT FRS that are mandatory for application from that date. This includes the following FRS and INT FRS, which are relevant to the Group:

2(b) Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2011 (cont’d)
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 for the following:
FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures
The amended FRS 24 introduces an exemption from the disclosure requirements of FRS 24 of transactions between government-related entities and the government, and all other government-related entities. Those disclosures are replaced with a requirement to disclose:
The name of the government and the nature of the relationship; The nature and amount of any individually signifi cant transactions; and A qualitative or quantitative indication of the extent of any collectively signifi cant transactions.
As this is a disclosure standard, it will have no impact on the fi nancial position or fi nancial performance of the Group.
2(c) FRS not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of these fi nancial statements, the following FRSs and INT FRSs were issued but not effective:

Gallant Venture Ltd. 2011 Annual Report 51
2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies
Basis of consolidation
The fi nancial statements of the Group include the fi nancial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (“the subsidiaries”), all of which prepare fi nancial statements at 31 December. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities. Information on its subsidiaries is given in Note 7.
The results of the subsidiaries acquired during the year are included in the consolidated profi t or loss from the effective date of acquisition. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the fi nancial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. All signifi cant inter-company balances and signifi cant inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition. 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. Costs attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Any excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree
and the acquisition date fair value of previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifi able assets acquired represents goodwill. The goodwill is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for goodwill stated below. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognised as a gain from bargain purchase in the profi t or loss on the date of acquisition.
When the control over a subsidiary is lost, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, including any goodwill, are derecognised. 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.
Where accounting policies of a subsidiary do not conform to those of the Company, adjustments are made on consolidation when the amounts involved are considered signifi cant to the Group.
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profi t or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group. They are presented in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position within equity, separately from the parent shareholders’ equity, and are separately disclosed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests based on their respective interests in a subsidiary, even if this result in the non-controlling interests having defi cit balances.
Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to refl ect the changes in their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model with the exception of goodwill. Capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives for those considered as fi nite useful lives. After initial recognition, they are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. In addition, they are subject to annual impairment testing, if there are any indicators of impairment. Indefi nite life intangibles are not amortised but are subject to annual impairment testing.
Intangible assets are written off where, in the opinion of the Directors, no further future economic benefi ts are expected to arise.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination represents 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 asset acquired. Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is recognised separately as intangible assets and carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Computer software
Costs relating to computer software acquired, which are not an integral part of related hardware, are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life of three years.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is computed utilising the straight-line method to write off the cost of these assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Years
Leasehold land 15 - 80Land improvements 20Landfi ll 3Building and infrastructures 3 - 30Golf course 36 - 45Utilities plant and machinery 3 - 30Machinery and equipment 3 - 15Vessels and ferry equipment 4 - 15Working wharf 3Transportation equipment and vehicles 3 - 7Medical equipment 7Furniture, fi xtures and equipment 1.5 - 10Offi ce equipment 2 - 5Resort equipment 3 - 5Reservoir 30Telecommunication equipment 10 - 30Leasehold improvements 5

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (cont’d)
Construction-in-progress is stated at cost. The accumulated costs will be reclassifi ed to the appropriate property, plant and equipment account when the construction is substantially completed and the asset is ready for its intended use. No depreciation is provided on construction-in-progress.
Costs incurred in the general overhaul of the main engines of vessels during dry docking are capitalised and depreciated over four to fi ve years.
The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash fl ow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that have been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefi ts, in excess of the standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will fl ow to the Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense during the fi nancial year in which it is incurred.
For acquisitions and disposals during the fi nancial year, depreciation is provided from the year of acquisition and to the year before disposal respectively. For acquisitions less than $1,000, they are expended as expenses in the profi t or loss. Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment are retained in the books of accounts until they are no longer in use.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date as a change in estimates.
Investment properties
Investment properties consist of buildings and improvements that are held to earn rental yields, including buildings which could not be sold separately, and where an insignifi cant portion is held for use in the supply of services or for administrative purposes.
The Group applies the cost model. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any impairment in value similar to that for property, plant and equipment. Such costs include the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day to day servicing of an investment property. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the investment properties of 3 - 30 years, as applicable for each investment property.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefi t is expected from its disposal. On disposal or retirement of an investment property, the difference between any disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the profi t or loss.

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)
Investment properties (cont’d)
The carrying value of investment properties are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amounts, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of owner-occupation or commencement of an operating lease to another party. Transfers are made from the investment property when and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by the commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sell.
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts from it activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether there is control.
In the Company’s separate fi nancial statements, shares in subsidiaries are stated at cost less allowance for any impairment losses on an individual subsidiary basis.
Associates
An associate is defi ned as a company, not being a subsidiary or jointly controlled entity, in which the Group has signifi cant infl uence, but not control, over its fi nancial and operating policies. Signifi cant infl uence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. Investments in associate companies at company level are stated at cost. Allowance is made for any impairment losses on an individual company basis.
In applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profi t or loss of associates, based on the coterminous audited fi nancial statements, is included in the profi t or loss and its shares of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds the carrying amount of an investment, the Group ordinarily discontinues including its share of further losses. The investment is reported at nil value. Additional losses are provided for to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations or payments on behalf of the associate to satisfy obligations of the associate that the Group has guaranteed or otherwise committed, for example, in the forms of loans. When the associate subsequently reports profi ts, the Group resumes including its share of those profi ts only after its share of the profi ts equals the share of net losses recognised.
The Group’s share of the net assets and post-acquisition retained profi ts and reserves of associates is refl ected in the book values of the investments in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.
Where the accounting policies of an associate do not conform to those of the Company, adjustments are made on consolidation when the amount involved are considered signifi cant to the Group.

Land inventories
Land inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of land inventories is computed using the weighted average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less costs to be incurred in selling the land.
Cost of land inventories includes pre-acquisition cost, cost of land, borrowing costs and other costs directly or indirectly related to the acquisition and development of the land for sale. These costs are capitalised during the period such activities that are necessary to get these assets ready for sale are in progress. Capitalisation of these costs will cease when land development is completed and the land is available for sale.
The costs incurred in the development of the resort and common areas/facilities are allocated proportionally to the saleable parcels of land. Other land development costs incurred are allocated to each parcel of land using the specifi c identifi cation method.
Land inventories are derecognised when it has been sold as an integral part with sale of land and no future economic benefi t is expected from its disposal. Cost of land infrastructure inventory on sale of land or loss from disposal is recognised in the profi t or loss in the year of sale or disposal.
Other inventories
Other inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a fi rst-in, fi rst-out basis. Provision is made for obsolete, slow moving or defective inventory in arriving at the net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial assets
Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into 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. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. The designation of fi nancial assets is re-evaluated and classifi cation may be changed at the reporting date with the exception that the designation of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss is not revocable.
All fi nancial assets are recognised on their trade date - the date on which the Company and the Group commit to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs except for fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, which are recognised at fair value.
Derecognition of fi nancial instruments occurs when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.
An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or a group of fi nancial assets is impaired.

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)
Financial assets (cont’d)
Non-compounding interest and other cash fl ows resulting from holding fi nancial assets are recognised in profi t or loss when received, regardless of how the related carrying amount of fi nancial assets is measured.
The Group does not have investments to be designated as fair value through profi t or loss and held-to-maturity fi nancial assets.
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 receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classifi ed as non-current assets.
Loans and receivables include other receivables. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. If there is objective evidence that the asset has been impaired, the fi nancial asset is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment or write back is recognised in profi t or loss.
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets include non-derivative fi nancial assets that do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of fi nancial assets. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.
All fi nancial assets within this category are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in value recognised in equity, net of any effects arising from income taxes, until the fi nancial assets is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in equity is included in the profi t or loss for the year.
When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale fi nancial asset has been recognised directly in equity and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in equity shall be removed from the equity and recognised in the profi t or loss even though the fi nancial asset has not been derecognised.
The amount of the cumulative loss that is removed from equity and recognised in profi t or loss shall be the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that fi nancial asset previously recognised in profi t or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in profi t or loss for equity investments classifi ed as available-for-sale are not subsequently reversed through profi t or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profi t or loss for debt instruments classifi ed as available-for-sale are subsequently reversed in profi t or loss if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

Financial assets (cont’d)
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets (cont’d)
Impairment losses recognised in a previous interim period in respect of available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed even if the impairment losses would have been reduced or avoided had the impairment assessment been made at a subsequent reporting period or end of the reporting period.
Determination of fair value
The fair values of quoted fi nancial assets are based on current bid prices. If the market for a fi nancial asset is not active, the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash fl ow analysis, and option pricing models refi ned to refl ect the issuer’s specifi c circumstances. Where fair value of unquoted instruments cannot be measured reliably, fair value is determined by the transaction price.
Golf membership
Golf membership is measured initially at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, golf membership is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
The carrying value of golf membership is reviewed annually for impairment when an indicator of impairment arises during the reported period indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and bank deposits which are subject to an insignifi cant risk of change in value.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account.
Financial liabilities
The Group’s fi nancial liabilities include loans and borrowings and trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest-related charges are recognised as an expense in “fi nance costs” in the profi t or loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specifi ed in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value of proceeds received less attributable transaction costs, if any. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost which is the initial fair value less any principal repayments. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is taken to the profi t or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Interest expense is chargeable on the amortised cost over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d)
Financial liabilities (cont’d)
Gains and losses are recognised in the profi t or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.
Borrowings which are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of reporting period are included in current liabilities in the statement of fi nancial position even though the original terms were for a period longer than 12 months and an agreement to refi nance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the end of fi nancial period. Borrowings to be settled within the Group’s normal operating cycle are classifi ed as current. Other borrowings due to be settled more than 12 months after the end of reporting period are included in non-current liabilities in the statement of fi nancial position.
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company and the Group have a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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 reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Present obligations arising from onerous contracts are recognised as provisions.
The Directors review provisions annually and where in their opinion, the provision is inadequate or excessive, due adjustment is made.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that refl ects, where appropriate, the risks specifi c to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as fi nance costs.
Operating leases
Where the Company/Group is the lessee
Rentals on operating leases are charged to the profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives, if any, are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset. Penalty payments on early termination, if any, are recognised in the profi t or loss when incurred.
Where the Company/Group is the lessor
Assets leased out under operating leases are included under investment properties (see policy on investment properties). Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) on operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term (see policy on revenue recognition).

Income taxes
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 the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period.
Deferred income tax is recognised for all taxable temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the fi nancial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither the accounting or taxable profi t or loss at the time of the transaction.
A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is measured:
(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the fi nancial position; and
(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the date of the fi nancial position, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.
The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilised is based on the subsidiaries’ 5 years projections, which is adjusted for signifi cant non-taxable incomes and expenses and specifi c limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. The tax rules in numerous jurisdictions in which the Group operates are also carefully taken into consideration.
In compliance with Government Regulation No. 5/2002 dated 23 March 2002 of the Republic of Indonesia, each payment of building rentals is subject to fi nal tax of 10% from the gross rental amount starting 1 May 2002.
Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in the profi t or loss.

Employee benefi ts
Pension obligations
The Group participates in national pension schemes as defi ned by the laws of the countries in which it operates. As required by Indonesian Law, the Group makes contributions to the defi ned contributions state pension scheme, Jamsostek contributions are recognised as compensation expense in the same period as the employment that gives rise to the contributions. The ASTEK fund from Jamsostek contributions is responsible for the entire insurance claim relating to accidents incurred by the employees at the work place and for the entire retirement benefi t obligations of the related employees under the said state pension scheme.
The Group also makes contributions to a defi ned contribution pension plan which is administered by legal entity, “Dana Pensiun Lembaga Keuangan Indolife Pensiontama” for certain employees. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the same period as the employment that gives rise to the contributions.
The Company and its subsidiaries operating in Singapore contribute to the Central Provident Fund, a defi ned contribution plan regulated and managed by the Government of Singapore, which applies to the majority of the employees. The contributions to the national pension scheme are charged to the profi t or loss in the period to which the contributions relate.
Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. Accrual is made for the estimated liability for unconsumed leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the reporting period.
Provisions for employee service entitlements
The Group has recognised unfunded employee benefi ts liability in accordance with Indonesian Labor Law No. 13/2003 dated 25 March 2003 (“the Law”).
The cost of providing employee benefi ts under the Law is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded 10% of the higher of the present value of defi ned obligation. These gains or losses are recognised over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees. Further, part service costs arising from the introduction of a defi ned benefi t plan or changes in the benefi ts payable of an existing plan are required to be amortised on a straight-line basis over the period until the benefi ts concerned become vested.
Key management personnel
Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity. Directors and certain general managers/heads of department are considered key management personnel.

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (cont’d) Impairment of non-fi nancial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s and Group’s non-fi nancial assets subject to impairment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong will be identifi ed.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifi able cash fl ows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefi t from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Company at which management controls the related cash fl ows.
Individual assets or cash-generating units that include goodwill or other intangible assets with an indefi nite useful life or those not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually. All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, refl ecting market conditions less costs to sell and value-in-use, based on an internal discounted cash fl ow evaluation. Impairment losses recognised for cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist.
Any impairment loss is charged to the profi t or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to equity.
With the exception of goodwill,
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount or when there is an indication that the impairment loss recognised for the asset no longer exists or decreases.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.
A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to equity under the heading revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued assets was previously recognised as an expense in the profi t or loss, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as income in the profi t or loss.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed, even if it relates to impairment loss recognised in an interim period that would have been reduced or avoided had the impairment assessment been made at a subsequent reporting or end of reporting period.

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise signifi cant infl uence over the other party in making fi nancial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered related if they are subject to common control or common signifi cant infl uence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.
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 from services is recognised when service has been rendered. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the customers. The following specifi c recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sales of land and building
Revenue from the sale of land and building should be recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfi ed:
(a) The entity has transferred to the buyer the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
(b) The entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
(c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
(d) It is probable that the economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to the enterprise; and
(e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
The Group also considers the means of payment and evidence of the buyer’s commitment to complete payment, for example, when the aggregate of the payments received, including the buyer’s initial down payment, or continuing payments by the buyer, provide insuffi cient evidence of the buyer’s commitment to complete payment.
If the above conditions are not met, the payments received are accounted for under the deposit method.
Resort operations and ferry services
Revenue is recognised when the services are rendered.
Golf and social facilities revenue
Revenue from golf and social facilities is recognised as goods are delivered or services rendered. Revenue from golf subscription fees is recognised over the period of the subscription.

Revenue recognition (cont’d)
Rental income and rendering of service and maintenance
Revenue from rental, service and maintenance charges is recognised proportionately over the lease term. The aggregate cost of any incentives as a reduction of rental income is recognised proportionately over the lease term. Rental payments received in advance are recorded as unearned income and amortised proportionately over the lease term using the straight-line method. Deposits received from tenants are recorded as part of other current liabilities.
Telecommunication service
Revenue from telecommunication services is recognised on the accrual basis. Revenue from telecommunication installation services is recognised at the time the installations are placed in service. Revenue from network interconnection with other domestic telecommunication carriers are recognised at the time connections takes place.
Clinic operation
Income from clinic operation is recognised when medical services are rendered or when medical supplies are delivered to patients.
Utilities revenue
Revenue from electricity and water supply is recognised upon delivery.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends
Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs
Interest costs and similar charges are expensed in the profi t or loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale. Foreign exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings are capitalised to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. Capitalisation of borrowing costs will cease when all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are substantially completed.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the fi nancial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The fi nancial statements of the Company and the Group are presented in Singapore dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company.

Conversion of foreign currencies
Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the date of the transactions.

The unquoted equity investments comprise the subsidiary’s shares of approximately 10% of total shares in Bintan Lagoon Resort Ltd (“BLRL”) and are classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets. There is also no active market for the equity interest as the purchase agreement stipulated the requirement to sell all interests to the main shareholder, when the need arises. As such, it is not practicable to determine with suffi cient reliability the fair value of the unquoted equity shares. The carrying amount of the unquoted equity investments has been fully written off as BLRL is in a net defi cit position.

The original convertible loan receivable of approximately $62,046,000 was unsecured and was convertible at the option of its subsidiary, Verizon Resorts Limited (“VRL”), into shares in the capital of PT Alam Indah Bintan (“PT AIB”) at the par value of each PT AIB share of US$1. The conversion price was agreed between the parties taking into account the unaudited net liabilities of PT AIB as at 31 December 2004 of approximately $14,900,000. Interest on the loan is at the rate of 1.5% above the Singapore Inter-bank Offer Rate (“SIBOR”) on a quarterly basis per annum. The PT AIB Convertible Loan shall be settled via repayment and/or the issue of PT AIB shares pursuant to the exercise of the option, in any event by 31 December 2009.
On 31 December 2009, PT AIB made a payment of principal and interest amounting to approximately $13,300,000. The outstanding principal amount under PT AIB convertible bond after the repayment is $60,000,000 and both parties have agreed to extend the tenure of the convertible bond from 31 December 2009 to 31 December 2010. The interest on the extended loan is at the rate of 1.75% above the SIBOR on a quarterly basis per annum.
On 3 September 2010, PT AIB made another repayment of principal and interest amounting to approximately $13,600,000 and reduced the balance of the convertible bond to $47,500,000. The tenure of the convertible bond has been extended to 31 December 2012, though it is expected to be recovered after that. The interest on the extended loan is at the rate of 4.6% above the SIBOR on a quarterly basis per annum.
The conversion of the loan receivable from PT AIB into PT AIB shares would result in VRL holding approximately 45.8% of the enlarged issued share capital of PT AIB. In that event, PT AIB will become an associate of VRL.
The loan receivable is denominated in Singapore dollar.

The proceeds of the issuance of the notes with warrants will be utilised in connection with the acquisition of the above property.

Each warrant entitles the Company to subscribe for one new share in MSL at an exercise price for each new share equal to its par value. The exercise price for each warrant (which is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances) is US$1 and the aggregate exercise price for the warrants is US$202,500,000. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in cash or notes of principal amount equal to the full amount of the exercise price payable in respect of the warrants exercised, or a combination of both. As at 31 December 2011, all the warrants remain unexercised.
(2) On 30 September 2010, the Company entered into an assignment agreement with MSL, whereas MSL agreed to assign US$5,000,000 (S$6,456,500) notes receivables to the Company as a discharge of MSL’s debt to the Company. The notes bear interest at 9% per annum and due on 1 December 2014.

(2) In prior years, a subsidiary, PT BIC paid value-added tax (VAT) for fuel purchased to the Indonesian Tax Authority. As Batam was gazetted as a bonded zone, VAT for purchases were suspended for companies operating in Batam. Notwithstanding, there was a lack of clarity from the tax authorities as regards to the suspension of VAT status for local businesses such as PT BIC. While seeking clarifi cation and on prudent grounds, PT BIC continued to pay input VAT as required by the tax authorities. But for good order, PT BIC continued to engage the tax authorities on grounds of the gazette and presented a legitimate case for a refund of the VAT paid. On grounds of prudence and with no assurance of recovery, the subsidiary did not make accruals, as no defi nite ruling was issued by the tax authorities. In FY2010, the subsidiary fi nally resolved this issue with the tax authorities and managed to recover the sum.

36 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group is affected by various fi nancial risks, including credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management objective is to effectively manage these risks and minimise potential adverse effects on their fi nancial performance.
The Board of Directors review and agree with the policies for managing each of these risks, as well as economic risk and business risk of the Group, which are summarised below, and also monitors the market price risk arising from all fi nancial instruments and project development risk.
36.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a fi nancial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the Company or the Group to incur a fi nancial loss.
The fi nancial assets that potentially subject the Group to signifi cant concentration of credit risk consist principally of bank balances, trade and other receivables, loan receivable and notes receivable. The Group has in place credit policies and procedures to ensure the ongoing credit evaluation and active account monitoring. The Group’s exposures to credit risk arise from default of other parties, with maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. At the reporting date, there were no signifi cant concentrations of credit risk other than the loan receivable of $47,500,000 (2010 - $47,500,000) from PT AIB (Note 11) and notes receivable of $279,556,000 (2010 - $278,613,000) from Market Strength Limited (Note 12) and interest receivables of $30,731,000 (2010 - $12,383,000) (Note 13).
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of fi nancial assets in the statement of fi nancial position. Details on trade receivables are as follows:
(i) Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are substantially counterparties with good payment records with the Group.
2011 2010The Group $’000 $’000
Trade receivables neither past due nor impaired 13,527 13,275
(ii) Financial assets that are past due but not impaired
The aging analysis of trade receivables past due but not impaired is as follows:
2011 2010The Group $’000 $’000
Trade receivables past due but not impaired:
More than one but less than two months 4,835 1,777
More than two but less than three months 539 1,218
More than three months but less than one year 5,437 7,589

36 Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)
36.1 Credit risk (cont’d)
(ii) Financial assets that are past due but not impaired (cont’d)
Management assessed that there are no signifi cant concentration of credit risk and is actively pursuing the recovery of these overdue receivables. Based on negotiations and commitments provided by the customers, management believes that these receivables are collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful debts has been provided for these receivables.
(iii) Financial assets that are past due and impaired
The carrying amount of trade receivables individually determined to be impaired and the movement in the related allowance for impairment are as follows:
2011 2010The Group $’000 $’000
Gross amount 6,448 7,781
Less: Impairment of trade receivables (6,448) (7,781)

Allowance for the year 1,260 655
Amount written off/reversed during the year (2,593) (3,091)
Balance at end of year 6,448 7,781
Management assessed that these overdue receivables are not collectible after taking into consideration a combination of factors such as the debtors’ fi nancial position, collateral held, ability and willingness to settle the debts and latest negotiations held with them. Accordingly, an allowance for doubtful debts has been made in the fi nancial statements.
36.2 Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements primarily in Indonesian rupiah on certain expenses, assets and liabilities which arise from daily operations and United States dollar loan from fi nancial institution.
The Group uses foreign currency denominated assets as a natural hedge against its foreign
currency denominated liabilities. As at reporting period, the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is not signifi cant and most transactions are denominated in Singapore dollar as their functional currency.

36.3 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Group is financed through interest-bearing bank loans and other borrowings such as shareholders’ loans and advances from related parties. Therefore, the Group’s exposures to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to its long-term borrowings obligations and interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Group’s policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available without increasing its foreign currency exposure by managing its interest cost using a mixture of fi xed and variable rate debts and long and short-term borrowings.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profi t before tax [through the impact on fl oating rate borrowings for loans from SCB (Note 22)].

36.4 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise will encounter diffi culty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with fi nancial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a fi nancial asset quickly at close to its fair value.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining suffi cient cash and cash equivalents to support their business activities on a timely basis. The Group maintains a balance between continuity of accounts receivable collectability and fl exibility through the use of bank loans and other borrowings.
The table below analyses the maturity profi le of the Company’s and the Group’s fi nancial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cash fl ows:

36 Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)
36.5 Market price risk
The Group is exposed to fuel price risk. An adverse change in fuel costs will signifi cantly increase the Group’s operating costs if the impact is not completely fl ow through to the end consumers.
To mitigate impact of price volatility, the Group diversifi ed its energy source with implementation of dual fuel fi red power plants. In the Batamindo Industrial Park, the 19 power generators are operated on natural gas in heavy fuel (i.e. diesel). In Bintan Resorts and Bintan Industrial Estate, power plants are operated in heavy and light fuel.
36.6 Project development risk
Construction delays can result in loss of revenue. The failure to complete construction of a project according to its planned specifi cations or schedule may result in liabilities, reduce project effi ciency and lower returns. The Group manages this risk by closely monitoring the progress of all projects through all stages of construction.
37 Fair value of fi nancial instruments
The carrying amounts of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year as refl ected in the statement of fi nancial position approximate their fair values due to short-term nature of these fi nancial assets and liabilities.
The Group does not anticipate that the carrying amounts of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities of more than one year recorded at reporting period would be signifi cantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled. The fair values of interest-bearing bank loans approximate their carrying value as they bear fl oating interest rates.
The Group’s Directors estimated the fair values for refundable golf membership deposits which will be due in 2020 by discounting the expected future cash fl ows based on current 10-year Singapore government bond rates.
For other fi nancial instruments which are not stated at quoted market price and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured without incurring excessive costs, they are carried at their nominal amounts less any impairment losses. It is not practical to estimate the fair values of other long-term receivables, other long-term loans and borrowings and deposits from tenants due to a lack of fi xed or repayment terms between both parties. However, the Group does not anticipate the carrying amounts recorded at the reporting period to be signifi cantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

38 Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are:
(a) To safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern;
(b) To support the Group’s stability and growth;
(c) To provide capital for the purpose of strengthening the Company’s risk management capability;
(d) To provide an adequate return to shareholders.
The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure optimal capital structure and shareholders’ returns, taking into consideration the future capital requirements of the Group and capital effi ciency, prevailing and projected profi tability, projected operating cash fl ows, projected capital expenditures and projected strategic investment opportunities. The Group currently does not adopt any formal dividend policy.
Management regards total equity as capital, for capital management purposes. The amount of capital as at 31 December 2011 amounted to $1,253,141,000 which the management considered as optimal having considered the projected capital expenditure and the projected strategic investment opportunities.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.
The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
39 Economic conditions
The operations of the Group have been affected, and may continue to be affected for the foreseeable future by the economic conditions in Indonesia and globally that may contribute to volatility in currency values and negatively impact economic growth. Economic improvements and sustained recovery are dependent upon several factors such as fi scal and monetary actions being undertaken by the government and others; actions that are beyond the control of the Group.
40 Subsequent events
Subsequent to the reporting date, the Group has obtained term loan facilities with PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk, comprising a US$ tranche of US$50 million and an Indonesian Rupiah tranche equivalent to US$150 million, both for a tenure of 6 years. The proceeds of the facilities have been and/or will be used to repay existing bank borrowings and for the general purposes of the Group.
