Independent Auditor's ReportFor the financial year ended 31 December 2013
To the Unitholders of Greenship Bulk Trust
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Greenship Bulk Trust (the "Trust") and
its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") set out on pages 7 to 49, which comprise the
consolidated statement of financial position of the Group and the statement of financial position of
the Trust as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in unitholders' funds and the consolidated statement of cash
flows of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
Trustee-Manager's responsibility for the financial statements
The Trustee-fvlanager is responsible f~~ the preparation of financial statements that give a true end
fair view in accordance with iiie Ni u'viSiGi ~s vi ii is v.. ~^yU~7C~ ° ~?u'Slf1°cc Tri ictc Ar_.t (thP "ACt~~I and
International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management
determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in a~~orclance with International 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
2.3 Standards that are issued but not yet effective and have not been early adopted by
the Group (cont'd)
IFRS 9 Financial Statements
IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the IASB's work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to
classification and measurement of financial instruments and hedge accounting. The
effective date of the standard has not been determined. In subsequent phases, the IASB
will address impairment of financial assets. The adoption of IFRS 9 will have an effect on
the classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets, but will not have an
impact on classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets. The Group will
quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including
all phases is issued.
2.4 Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related costs can bereliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity andwhen the specific criteria for each of the Group's activities are met as follows:
(a) Charter income
Charter income is calculated on a time apportionment basis in accordance to theterms and conditions of the charter agreement. Charter income is deferred to theextent that conditions necessary for its recognition as revenue have yet to befulfilled.
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
2.5 Group accounting
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group haspower to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanied by ashareholding giving rise to the majority of the voting rights. The existence and effect ofpotential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered whenassessing whether the Group controls another entity.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries.The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equityinstruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the dates of exchange and includesthe fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired andliabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measuredinitially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis,the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or atthe non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. Please referto Note 2.7 for the accounting policy on goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries.

2.5 Group accounting (cont'd)
Subsidiaries (cont'd)
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the GroupThey are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealisedgains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are alsoeliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accountingpolicies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency withthe policies adopted by the Group.
Please refer to Note 2.8 for the accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries in thefinancial statements of the Trust.
2.6 Vessels
(a) Measurement
Vessels are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost lessaccumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Vessel costconsists of the contract purchase price and any material expenses incurred uponacquisition (improvements and delivery expensesl.
The vessels that are acquired are treated as a business combination to the extentthat SUGh ?r~iiigitinng !nrliirig hiicinPSg Cha(~ctaricticc~ otherwiS? w^ uC^~L~lSItIG'!? ~fa vessel is treated as a purchase of assets and recorded at cost.
Where any intangible assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vesselare identified, they are recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined by referenceto market data and the revenue stream associated with the charters.
(b) Depreciation
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and is calculated on astraight-line basis, after taking into account the residual value, over its estimateduseful life. The estimated useful lives of the vessels are 20 years.
The residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at the end of eachfinancial year. The effects of any revision are recognised in profit or loss when thechanges arise.
Included in the value of vessels acquired are costs relating to dry-docking. Thesecosts are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period to the next scheduleddry-docking, which is generally 5 years.
(c) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to vessels, including dry-docking, that has alreadybeen recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probablethat future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard ofperformance of the existing asset will flow to the Group and the cost can be reliablymeasured. Other subsequent expenditures are recognised as expenses daring thefinancial year in which they are incurred.

2.6 Vessels (cont'd)
(d) Disposal
On disposal of vessels, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
2.7 Goodwill on acquisitions
Initially, goodwill is measured at cost and represents the excess of the cost of an
acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of identifiable net assets and contingent
liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries or businesses at the date of acquisition.
Subsequently, goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries or businesses is measured at cost
less any accumulated impairment losses.
Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries or businesses include the carrying amount
of goodwill relating to the entity or business sold.
Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of
subsidiaries or businesses when acquired over the cost of acquisition. Negative goodwill is
recognised immediately in profit or loss.
2.8 Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the
Trusts statement of financial position.
On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between disposal proceeds and
the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss.
2.9 Impairment ofnon-financial assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is indication that thegoodwill may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to each ofthe Group's cash-generating-units ("CGU") expected to benefit from synergiesarising from the business combination.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of a CGU, includingthe goodwill, exceeds the recoverable amount of the CGU. Recoverable amount ofa CGU is the higher of the CGU's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use.
The total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amountof goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rataon the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment losson goodwill is recognised in profit or loss and is not reversed in a subsequentperiod.

2.9 Impairment ofnon-financial assets (cont'd)
(b) Vessels and investments in subsidiaries
Vessels and investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment wheneverthere is any objective evidence of indication that these assets may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher ofthe fair value less costs to sell and the value in-use) is determined on an individualasset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largelyindependent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amountis determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than itscarrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to itsrecoverable amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverableamount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss.
An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, therehas been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverableamount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of anasset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, providedthat this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have beendetermined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had there beenno impairment loss recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairmentloss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss.
2.10 Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinablepayments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets,except for those maturing later than 12 months after the end of the financial year which arepresented as non-current assets.
These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs andsubsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Group assesses at the end of each financial year whether there is objective evidencethat these financial assets are impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment whensuch evidence exists.
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enterbankruptcy, and default or significant delay in payments are objective evidence that thesefinancial assets are impaired.
The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairmentallowance account which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount andine preseni value or esiimaiea Tuiure cash riows, discounted at the original effective interestrate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the sameline item in profit or loss.

2.10 Loans and receivables (cont'd)
The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through profit or loss in asubsequent period when the amount of impairment loss decreases and the related
decrease can be objectively measured. The carrying amount of the asset previously
impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed theamortised cost had no impairment been recognised in prior period.
2.11 Borrowings
Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right
to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.
Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between theproceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss
over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the
loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In
this case, the fee is deferred until the drawdown occurs. To the extent there is no evidence
that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as
a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it
relates.
2.12 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group
prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if
payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if
longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried atamortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.13 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to risks arising from
operational activities, specifically the purchase of bunkers in the course of carrying out
fixed freight rate transportation contracts. The Group does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes.
A derivative financial instrument is initially recognised at its fair value on the date the
contract is entered into and is subsequently carried at its fair value. The method of
recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as ahedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
The carrying amount of a derivative designated as a hedge is presented as anon-current
asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and
as a current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12
months.

2.15 Leases
As lessor:
The Group owns dry bulk vessels and charters them to international customers in theglobal market of cargo transportation under fixed freight rate charters.
These charters are classified as operating leases as the Group retains substantially all riskand rewards incidental to ownership.
Rental income from operating leases of the vessels (net of any incentives and commissionsgiven to lessees) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging an operating leaseare added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense inprofit or loss over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
Contingent rents are recognised as income in profit or loss when earned.

2.15 Leases (cont'd)
As lessee:
Leases of vessels where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are
retained by the lessors are classified as operating leases.
Rental expenses under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received as an incentive to enter into an
operating lease are also spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.16 Inventories
Inventories are bunkers for the vessels. Inventories are carried at lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Bunkers are used
for the operation of the vessels, therefore inventories are not written down when market
price falls below cost if the overall shipping activity is expected to be profitable.
2.17 Taxes
(a) Current income tax
Current income tax for current and prior period 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 at the end of the financial
year.
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements, except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time
of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
A deferred tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on
investments in subsidiaries, 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 tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences
and tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax is measured:
(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax
asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled, based on tax ratesand tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
the financial year; and
(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the
Group expects, at the end of the financial year, to recover or settle the
carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

2.17 Taxes (conYd)
(b) Deferred tax (cont'd)
Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss,except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or atransaction which is recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax arising from abusiness combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
The Group's activities are subject to taxation under different tax schemes inseveral countries. The Group's main shipping activities are located in France,where the income from shipping operations is taxable in accordance with Article206 of the French Income Tax Act. In France, the activities are both subject tonormal company tax scheme, which implies a corporate tax rate of 33.333%, andthe French Tonnage Tax Scheme, which has been applicable since 1 JanuaryLUU:i.
Part of the Group's shipping activity is located in Singapore, where the incomederived by the Group's entities from respective bareboat charter agreementsqualifies for tax exemption under Section 13S of the Singapore Income Tax Act,with effective from 1 January 2013 or other dates for certain subsidiaries asindicated in a letter of approval by Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)dated 1 August 2013 granting relevant Group's entities the status of the MaritimeSector Incentive — Maritime Leasing("MSI-ML") (Ship) award, for a period of 5 years, which ends on 31 December2017, provided that the Group meets the requirements of the MSI-ML(Ship) award.The Group is subject to tax on its income from non-n~~alifyinn arti~lt!?5 a# theprevailing Singapore corporate income tax rate.
2.18 Currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measuredusing the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Groupoperates ("functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in UnitedStates Dollar ("USD" or "US$"), which is the Trust's functional currency.
(b) 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 dates ofthe transactions. Currency translation differences from the settlement of suchtransactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates as at the end of the financialyear are recognised in profit or loss.

2.19 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include deposits with financial institutions.
2.20 Units in issue
Units in issue are classified as equity.
Expenses, which are directly attributable to the issuance of units, are deducted directly
from net assets attributable to unitholders. Expenses, which are not directly attributable to
the issuance of units, are recognised in profit or loss.
2.21 Distributions to unitholders
Distributions to unitholders are recorded in the period in which they are declared payable
by the Trustee-Manager in accordance with the Trust deed.
2.22 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an
asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or
sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed
in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that
an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
2.23 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an oufiFlow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the
effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre
tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance
cost.
2.24 Pensions and post employment benefits
The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the
countries in which it has employment. The cost of providing benefits under the defined
benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial evaluations. These evaluations are
based on hypotheses regarding rate of updating, rate of increase of salaries, mortality rate
and probability of presence in the Group during the retirement.
The rates are determined on the basis of global indications such as Reuters. Due to the
long-term nature of these plans, the uncertainty bound to these estimations is not
significant.

Existing circumstances andassumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes orcircumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in theassumptions when they occur.
a. Impairment of vessels
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unitexceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs tosell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based onavailable data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction ofsimilar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing theasset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. Thecash flows are derived from the budget for the remaining useful life of the vesselsand do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to orsignificant future investments that will enhance the assets performance of the cashgenerating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to thediscount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expectedfuture cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
The carrv~ng amo~.~nt and ke, assumptien~ used to determine the recorerablcamount are further explained in Note 5. The carrying amount of the Group'svessels as at 31 December 2013 was US$431,450,454 (2012: US$246,360,500).

b. Impairment of goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period and when
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount ofeach CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverableamount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss isrecognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in futureperiods.
The key assumptions applied in the determination of the recoverable amountincluding a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 8. Thecarrying amount of the Group's goodwill as at 31 December 2013 wasUS$1,682,385 (2012: US$1,682,385).
c. Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is anyobjective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there isobjective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as theprobability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and defaultor significant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of futurecash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similarcredit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the Group's loans andreceivables at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 11 to the financialstatements.
d. Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations,changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Giventhe wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature andcomplexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between theactual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions,could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded.The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possibleconsequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which itoperates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such asexperience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations bythe taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences ofinterpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditionsprevailing in the respective domicile of the Group companies.
The carrying amount of the Group's tax payables and recoverables as at 31December 2013 were US$12,946 (2012: US$7,835) and US$150,305 (2012:US$1,444,944), respectively.
e. Contingent liabilities
Significant judgement is required in assessing the potential claims fromcounterparties for demurage, shortage of cargo, damages to hull and delays duringvoyagers. The claims are subject to legal arbitration and only expected to befinalised in the next 5 years. The determination is further explained in Note 16.

— i ne aniicipatea annual revenue growth included in the cash flow protections was2% per annum from the financial years 2014 to 2019.
— A discount rate of 8.7% was applied in determining the recoverable amount of theunits.
— The terminal value was estimated using a growth rate of 2%.

Trust16.2.2012(date of

US$
73,427
The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk andforeign currency risk.
The Group's overall risk policy is to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's
financial performance.
The management reviews and agrees policies for managing these risks and they are
summarised below:
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instrumentsshould a counterparty default on its obligations. The carrying amounts ofreceivables and cash and cash equivalents represent the Group's maximumexposure to credit risk.
It is the Group's policy to provide credit terms to creditworthy and reputablecustomers. These receivables are continually monitored on an ongoing basis toensure that issues arising from non-collectibility are minimised. Therefore, theGroup does not expect material credit losses on its debts with customers.
For other financial assets, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusivelywith high credit rating counterparties.
Exposure to credit risk
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that counterparties fail toperform their obligations as of 31 December 2013 and 2012 in relation to eachclass of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets asindicated in the statement of financial position.
As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, the Group does not have significant
concentration of credit risk.
Cash and cash equivalents are placed with reputable financial institutions.
Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's assets
are financially sound and accordingly, minimum credit risk exists with respect to
these assets.

25. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont'd)
a) Credit risk (cont'd)
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthyreceivables with good payment record with the Group.
Financial assets that are either past due or impaired
Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired isdisclosed in Note 11.
b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of the Group's financialinstruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group'sexposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their loans and borrowings,interest-bearing deposits given to related companies and bank deposits. TheGroup's financial assets and liabilities at floating rates are contractually repriced atintervals of less than 6 months from the end of the reporting period.
The Group's policy is to manage interest cost using floating rate debts.
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the end of the reporting period, if interest rates had been 1 %higher with all othervariables held constant, the Groin's nr~fit hefore tax ~vo~!Ir~ have beenUS$1,998,818 (2012: US$779,260) lower, arising mainly as a result of higherinterest expenses after netting off interest income. The assumed movement forinterest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable marketenvironment.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Trust will encounter difficulty inmeeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group's and the Trustsexposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities offinancial assets and liabilities. The Group's and the Trusts objective is to maintaina balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-bycredit facilities.

Fair value
Fair value is defined as the amount at which the financial instrument could be exchanged ina current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction,other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class offinancial instruments:
(a) Fair value hierarchy
The Group categories fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that isdependent on the valuation inputs used as follows:
- Levei i — quoted prices (unadjustecij in active market for identical assets orliabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date,
- Level 2 — Inputs other that quoted prices included within Level 1 that areobservable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and
- Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
