CHAIRMAn’s stAteMent

Dear Valued Shareholders,

on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of swissco Holdings limited and its subsidiaries (“swissco” or the “Group”), I am pleased to present our annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (“Fy2015”).

the year under review had been an extremely difficult one for the offshore and marine sector catering to the oil industry, which had seen a tremendous drop in oil prices since 2014. Many major oil companies have curtailed exploration and production activities, as well as investments. Demand for rigs and offshore support vessels has fallen significantly and the competition for contracts has intensified.

As a fully integrated offshore and marine player, the Group, like everyone else in the industry, felt the indelible impact of the deteriorating operating environment. nevertheless for Fy2015,

the Group continued to put up a strong performance to achieve a net profit of us$31.2 million compared to us$15.9 million for the year 2014. Had there been no impairment loss on the rigs and vessels totaling us$17 million, the Group would have reported a profit after tax of us$48.2 million for the reporting year.

this was achieved on the back of slightly higher revenue of us$69.6 million, up from the previous year’s us$65.5 million. the Group’s Drilling segment contributed us$28.8 million to total revenue, more than double that of us$11.4 million for Fy2014, while the offshore support Vessel (“osV”) segment saw lower revenue at us$40.8 million compared to the us$54.1 million for the previous year.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group maintained a healthy balance sheet with cash and cash equivalents amounting to us$37.6 million. net

“We will further fine-tune our workprocesses and leverage more oninformation technology to increaseefficiency and service delivery toraise customer satisfaction to an even higher level in this time of heightened market competition.”

lim How teck chairman

gearing improved to 0.71 times as at 31 December 2015, compared to 0.82 times as at 31 December 2014.

Strengthening the team

For more than 40 years now we have weathered uncertain times, supported by our enduring cordial and collaborative relationship with major oil and gas players, and a strong professional management and technical services team.

During the year, in order to further reinforce swissco’s knowledge base and expertise, the Group invested substantially in human capital by providing training for our operations personnel and specialized courses for our senior management. this will prepare the team in handling the intense competition and demanding needs of customers in this uncertain and challenging market.

5SwiSSco HoldingS limited AnnuAl RePoRt 2015

In March 2015, the Group completed the purchase of the leasehold property at no. 21 tuas Road singapore 638489 that has a total land area of approximately 26,248 square metres and a water front of about 107 metres and a 30 metres by 100 metres slipway.

this acquisition reinforces our overall resource support capability, providing relief for our need for an additional water front yard facility and is suitable as a base for the Group to manage and service our expanded fleet as well as to provide repair service to third party vessels. with two slipways and a 3,000 Dwt docking yard, we currently operate ship repair and maintenance yards in singapore catering to the Group’s fleet as well as third party vessels around the region.

Staying the course

the global oil and gas industry continues to face tremendous challenges arising from the current weak oil prices that has led to oil companies reducing their offshore activity and expenditure. we expect the depressed charter market and utilization rates for offshore rigs and support services to persist for the rest of Fy2016.

Global rig utilization declined throughout 2015 and into 2016, with day rates following suit. Floating rigs, in particular drillships and semi-submersibles, took the brunt of the market slowdown as many suffered early contract terminations. the situation is expected to persist for the rest of 2016.

As a result of the protracted downturn, two of our wholly owned rigs and a 50% owned drilling rig are currently off-charter and our team is working hard to procure contracts for them.

the Group’s osV Division will further increase its marketing efforts to secure contracts for its fleet by expanding its market footprint in geographical areas including the Middle east, Africa and India.

Besides stepping up marketing efforts, we will be looking into greater prudence and control in the areas of resource management, costs and the way we do business, especially how to increase innovation and productivity throughout the Group.

we will further fine-tune our work processes and leverage more on information technology to increase efficiency and service delivery to raise customer satisfaction to an even higher level in this time of heightened market competition. where possible, we will continue to utilize available government grants to upskill our workers, upgrade our capabilities and cross new borders to secure more business.

Appreciation

our recent transformation into a fully integrated offshore and marine player with minimal disruption to the ongoing operations has been possible with the dedication and determination of the management team and staff. the business expansion effort has also been made possible by the invaluable

contributions and insights of my fellow board of directors, whose experience and counsel helped tremendously to ensure a successful transition.

we would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for their unwavering support, commitment and hard work.

we are also grateful for the continued trust and support of our partners, suppliers, customers and business associates and we look forward to more win-win partnerships in the years ahead.

last but not least, swissco would not have come this far without the support of our loyal shareholders over the years. we would like to record our appreciation by proposing a dividend of s$0.001 per ordinary share, subject to shareholders’ approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2016.

with all the stakeholders’ belief and trust in us, we will continue to press forward relentlessly in the uncertain and volatile business environment and to further establish swissco’s presence in the international market.

OperATIOnS reVIew

the Group’s businesses are organized into three broad divisions: Drilling, service Assets, and offshore support Vessels (“osV”).

In the year under review, the Group’s revenue was mainly derived from outside singapore, with Mexico ranking first to account for 41.3% (Fy2014: 17.4%) and the united Arab emirates second with 27.1% (Fy2014: 51.3%) of the total. singapore came in as the third biggest market with 15.1% (Fy2014: 6.7%). the remaining contributions were from the united Kingdom, Malaysia, Brunei, europe, Australia, Indonesia and others.

Drilling Division

the Group’s Drilling Division contributed us$28.8 million to Group turnover in the year under review. It currently has a fleet of seven drilling rigs – two wholly owned and another five jointly owned rigs.

Service Assets Division

the Group’s service Assets Division began operations in the first quarter of 2015 to provide efficient and reliable support service units to major players in the oil and gas industry. It has two jointly owned accommodation rigs and a liftboat that is under construction which is due for delivery in 2016.

OSV Division

the offshore support Vessels Division contributed us$40.8 million to Group turnover in Fy2015.

the division owns and operates a young fleet of 37 osVs, tugs and barges for chartering to the marine and offshore, oil and gas and civil construction industries.

As our customer needs are constantly evolving, the division reviews its fleet of vessels regularly according to market demand and trends, to ensure it has a sufficient mix of suitable vessels to cater to their requirements. By maintaining a diverse fleet of vessels, the division aims to secure more contracts in the years ahead.

the results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 31 December 2015 comprised contributions from Drilling, osV, and service Assets segments, while the results for the comparative quarter and full year ended 31 December 2014 comprised contributions from Drilling segment and 5 months’ results (August to December 2014) from osV segment.

the Group’s Drilling segment currently wholly owns two rigs and jointly owns another five rigs. the two wholly-owned rigs commenced charter in 3Q2014 and contributed us$28.8 million of charter revenue in Fy2015 and us$1.9 million in 4Q2015. the two wholly-owned rigs were off-charter in 2Q2015 and 4Q2015 respectively.

osV revenue was derived from a total fleet of 37 vessels for the year ended 31 December 2015. Revenue from the osV segment was us$19.9 million for 4Q2015 (4Q2014: us$25.9 million) and us$40.8 million for Fy2015 (Fy2014: us$54.1 million). the decrease in revenue was mainly due to reduction in maritime sales, lower average day rates and utilization rates during the year.

cost of sales for Fy2015 comprised mainly maritime costs, maintenance, crew salaries and fuel costs.

Other (losses)/gains, net comprised mainly net gain on disposal of vessels, and net foreign exchange gain arising mainly from singapore Dollar financial liabilities due to the strengthening of the united states dollar against the singapore dollar.

Gain on disposal of vessels amounted to us$3.0 million in Fy2015 (Fy2014: us$1.0 million).

net foreign exchange gain in Fy2015 amounted to us$7.9 million (Fy2014: us$4.0 million).

Administrative expenses comprised mainly staff costs and other general administrative expenses.

Other expenses for Fy2015 comprised mainly depreciation charges of us$24.9 million (Fy2014: us$7.5 million), impairment loss on rigs and vessels of us$14.0 million (Fy2014: nil), impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets of us$1.6 million (Fy2014: us$5.3 million) and other operating costs.

Finance costs relate mainly to interest on bank borrowings, interest on bonds and corporate guarantee fees payable to a joint venture partner for the provision of corporate guarantee to the banks. the increase in finance costs from us$4.7 million in Fy2014 to us$11.6 million in Fy2015 was mainly due to financing costs for two rigs acquired in september 2014 and interest on bonds issued in october 2014.

Share of profits of associates and joint ventures - Commencement of charters for the 50% owned drilling rigs and 50% owned accommodation rigs contributed to the share of profits of associates and joint ventures of us$39.4 million in Fy2015 (Fy2014: us$24.1 million).

profit after tax - Had there been no impairment loss on rigs and vessels of us$17.0 million, the Group would have

reported a profit after tax of us$48.2 million for Fy2015. However, as a result of the impairment, the Group reported a profit after tax for Fy2015 of us$31.2 million.

FInAncIAL pOSITIOn

current assets

the Group’s current assets decreased by us$8.4 million from us$74.6 million as at 31 December 2014 to us$66.2 million as at 31 December 2015, mainly due to lower trade and other receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

non-current assets

the Group’s non-current assets as at 31 December 2015 amounted to us$464.9 million as compared to us$471.1 million as at 31 December 2014, a decrease of us$6.2 million. this was mainly due to positive contributions from associates and joint ventures during the year, offset by impairment loss on rigs and vessels, disposal of four vessels, and the repayment of loan by a joint venture.

Liabilities

the Group’s total liabilities decreased by us$36.0 million from us$291.4 million as at 31 December 2014 to us$255.4 million as at 31 December 2015. the decrease was mainly due to lower trade and other payables, loan repayments and translation gain on singapore Dollar denominated financial liabilities, offset by higher provision for income tax.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group is in a net current liabilities position of us$32.4 million (31 December 2014:

us$37.5 million). the Group manages its working capital requirements using short term borrowings. the Group expects to be able to roll over its short-term borrowings and together with positive cash flows expected from its operations, to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

STATemenT OF cASH FLOwS reVIew

net cash flows generated from operating activities amounted to us$18.6 million for Fy2015.

net cash inflow from investing activities us$9.8 million for Fy2015.

this was attributable to proceeds on sale of vessels of us$30.1 million, sale of the available-for-sale financial assets of us$0.7 million and loan repayment from a joint venture of us$17.5 million. this was partially offset by cash outflows from the purchase of property, a service rig and four vessels amounting to us$34.7 million and loan to a joint venture of us$3.8 million.

net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to us$34.8 million for Fy2015. this was attributable to proceeds of us$101.1 million from loans drawn down to fund the acquisition of property and vessels, and the repayment of borrowings of

us$110.2 million, interest payments of us$10.2 million, an increase in restricted cash of us$5.5 million and dividend paid to shareholders of approximately us$10.0 million for year 2014.

As a result of the above, there was a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of us$6.5 million for Fy2015.

net gearing as at 31 December 2015 was 0.71 times (31 December 2014: 0.82 times).

CORPORATEGOVERNANCE REPORT

18 SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

Swissco Holdings Limited (the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is committed to a high standard of corporate governance to ensure effective self-regulation practices are in place to enhance corporate performance and accountability.

This report sets out the corporate governance practices of the Company during the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2015 with specifi c reference to the principles of the Code of Corporate Governance 2012 (the “Code”). The Code forms part of the continuing obligation of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”)’s Listing Manual.

THE BOARD’S CONDUCT OF 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 long-term success of the Company. The Board works with Management to achieve this objective and the Management remains accountable to the Board.

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) comprises the following members, all having the right core competencies and diversity of experience, which enable them to effectively contribute to the Group.

Mr Lim How Teck Lead Independent Director and ChairmanMr Tan Fuh Gih Executive DirectorMr Tang Kheng Guan Kelvin Executive Director Mr Lim Ban Hoe Executive DirectorMr Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien Independent Non-Executive DirectorMdm Ho Geok Choo Madeleine Independent Non-Executive Director

Besides carrying out its statutory responsibilities, the principal functions of the Board are as follows:

overseeing and approving the formulation of the Group’s overall long-term strategic objectives and directions; and

overseeing and reviewing the management of the Group’s business affairs and fi nancial controls, performance and resource allocation.

The approval of the Board is required for matters such as corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, major investments and divestments, material acquisitions and disposals of assets, major corporate policies on key areas of operations, the release of the Group’s quarterly, half-year and full year results and interested person transactions of a material nature.

Prior to their respective appointments to the Board, all directors were given an orientation on the Group’s business strategies and operations. Directors also have the opportunity to visit the Group’s operational facilities and meet with Management to gain a better understanding of the Group’s business operations. The Board as a whole is updated on changing commercial risks and key changes in the relevant legal and regulatory requirements, and accounting standards.

For new appointments to the Board, the Company provides a formal letter to such new director, setting out the director’s duties and obligations.

To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, our Board has established four Board Committees comprising an Audit Committee (the “AC”), a Nominating Committee (the “NC”), a Remuneration Committee (the “RC”) and an Executive Committee (“Exco”). These committees function within clearly defi ned written terms of reference and operating procedures, which are reviewed on a regular basis. The effectiveness of each committee is also constantly monitored.

The Exco was formed during the year, comprising Mr Lim How Teck as Chairman and two Executive Directors as members. The Exco, together with key management, meets regularly to discuss and provide guidance on the business affairs of the Group.

CORPORATEGOVERNANCE REPORT

The Board meets regularly on a quarterly basis and ad-hoc Board meetings are convened when they are deemed necessary. The number of Board and Board committee meetings held and attended by each of the directors in the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2015 (“FY2015”) were, as follows:

(2) Mr Alex Yeo Kian Teong retired as an Executive Director on 31 May 2015.

(3) Mr Lim Ban Hoe was appointed as an Executive Director on 12 August 2015.

* attendance by invitation

The Constitution of the Company provides for meetings of the Board to be held by way of telephonic conference.

Subsequent to FY2015, the Board Meeting, AC Meeting, NC Meeting and RC Meeting were held on 24 February 2016 to, among others, evaluate and assess the performance of the Board and the proposed directors’ fees for FY2016.

BOARD COMPOSITION AND GUIDANCE

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 and 10% shareholders. No individual or small group of individuals should be allowed to dominate the Board’s decision making.

The Board comprises six directors of whom three are independent, namely, Messrs Lim How Teck, Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien and Mdm Ho Geok Choo Madeleine. The criterion of independence is based on the defi nition set out in the Code. The Board considers an “independent” director as one who has no relationship with the Company, its related corporations, its 10% shareholders or its offi cers who could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the director’s independent business judgment with a view to the best interests of the Company. With three independent directors, the Board is able to exercise independent judgment on corporate affairs and provide Management with a diverse and objective perspective on issues. There is therefore no individual or small group of individuals, who/which dominates the Board’s decision making.

The independence of each director is reviewed annually by the NC in accordance with the Code’s defi nition of independence. Each director is required to complete a “Confi rmation of Independence” form to confi rm his/her independence. The said form, which was drawn up based on the defi nitions and guidelines set forth in Guideline 2.1 in the Code and the Guidebook for Audit Committees in Singapore issued by Audit Committee Guidance Committee (“Guidebook”), requires each Director to assess whether he or she considers himself or herself independent despite not having any of the relationships identifi ed in the Code. The Nominating Committee has reviewed the forms completed by each Director and is satisfi ed that at least one-third of the Board comprises Independent Directors.

CORPORATEGOVERNANCE REPORT

20 SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

The composition of the Board is reviewed on an annual basis by the NC to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience, and collectively possesses the necessary core competencies for effective functioning and informed decision-making. The NC is of the view that the current Board size of six members is appropriate taking into account the nature and scope of the Group’s operations.

The Board and the Board Committees have an appropriate balance and diversity of expertise and business experience and collectively possess the necessary core competence to lead and govern the Group effectively. Each director has been appointed on the strength of his or her calibre, experience and stature. Each director is expected to bring valuable range of experience and expertise to contribute to the development of the Group strategy and the performance of its business.

The Board has no dissenting view on the Chairman’s statement for the period in review. The profi les of our directors are set out on pages 12 and 13 of this Annual Report.

Principle 3: Chairman and CEO

Principle 3: There should be a clear division of responsibilities between the leadership of the Board and the executives responsible for managing the Company’s business. No one individual should represent a considerable concentration of power.

The Lead Independent Director and Chairman and the Executive Director and Chief Executive Offi cer of the Group are two separate individuals who are not related to each other.

The Group’s Lead Independent Director and Chairman is Mr Lim How Teck. The Chairman has the responsibilities of setting the meeting agenda of the Board meetings, leading the other Board members, promoting high standards of corporate governance and maintaining effective communication with shareholders of the Company.

The Group’s Executive Director and Chief Executive Offi cer is Mr Tan Fuh Gih. He is responsible for operational and strategic policies of the Group.

The Board collectively ensures the following:

in consultation with Management, the scheduling of meetings to enable the Board to perform its duties responsibly, while not interfering with the fl ow of the Company’s operations;

in consultation with Management, the preparation of the agenda for Board meetings;

in consultation with Management, the exercise of control over the quality, quantity and timeliness of information between Management and the Board; and

in compliance with corporate governance best practices.

BOARD MEMBERSHIP AND BOARD PERFORMANCE

Principle 4: There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment and re-appointment of directors to the Board.

Principle 5: There should be a formal assessment of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and its Board Committees and the contribution by each director to the effectiveness of the Board.

The NC comprises the following members:

Mdm Ho Geok Choo Madeleine – Chairman (appointed on 1 May 2015)Mr Lim How Teck Mr Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien Mr Tan Fuh Gih

CORPORATEGOVERNANCE REPORT

21SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

The NC is governed by its written terms of reference. In accordance with the defi nition in the Code, the Chairman of the NC is not associated with any substantial shareholder of the Company. The NC is responsible for making recommendations on all board appointments and re-nominations having regard to the contribution and performance of the director seeking re-election including the following:

(1) To ensure that all directors submit themselves for re-nomination and re-election at regular intervals and at least once every three years.

(2) To determine the independence of each director in accordance with the paragraph 2.1 of the Code on an annual basis.

(3) To evaluate whether a director is able to and has adequately carried out his duties as a director of the Company, in particular, where the director concerned has multiple board representations.

(4) To assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the contribution by each director to the effectiveness of the Board.

Following its annual review, the NC has confi rmed the independence of Messrs. Lim How Teck, Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien and Mdm Ho Geok Choo Madeleine. The NC is satisfi ed that suffi cient time and attention are being given by the Directors to the affairs of the Group, notwithstanding that some of the Directors have multiple board representations, and there is presently no need to implement internal guidelines to address the competing time commitments. The NC is of the view that whilst it is important for Directors to devote suffi cient time and attention to the affairs of the Group, the issue relating to multiple board representations should be left to the judgment and discretion of each Director.

The Company does not have a formal process for the selection and appointment of new directors to the Board. However, if required, the Company has or is able to procure search services, contacts and recommendation for the purposes of identifying suitably qualifi ed and experienced persons for appointment to the Board.

Board appointments are made by way of a board resolution after the NC has, upon reviewing the resume of the proposed director and conducting appropriate interviews, recommended such appointment to the Board. Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, each director is required to retire at least once every three years by rotation and all newly appointed directors who are appointed by the Board are required to retire at the next annual general meeting following their appointment. The retiring directors are eligible to offer themselves for re-election. Each member of NC shall abstain from voting on any resolutions in respect of the assessment of his performance, independence or re-nomination as a Director.

The dates of initial appointment and re-election of the directors are set out below:

Director PositionDate of Initial Appointment

Date of Last Re-election

Mr Lim How Teck Lead Independent Director and Chairman 27 April 2010 30 April 2013

The key information regarding directors is set out in pages 12 and 13 of the Annual Report.

Page 24: staying on course steering ahead - Swissco Holdings Limited · staying on course steering ahead ... India. Besides stepping up marketing efforts, ... tugs and barges for chartering

CORPORATEGOVERNANCE REPORT

22 SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

The NC has reviewed and recommended the re-election of Messrs Lim How Teck, Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien and Lim Ban Hoe who will be retiring as directors at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Mr Lim How Teck and Mr Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien will be retiring via rotation pursuant to Article 107 of the Company’s Constitution. Mr Lim Ban Hoe will be retiring pursuant to Article 117 of the Company’s Constitution. The three directors have offered themselves for re-election. The Board has accepted the recommendations of the NC.

Board performance is linked to the overall performance of the Group. The Board complies with the applicable laws and members of our Board are required to act in good faith, with due diligence and care in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The NC has adopted processes for the evaluation of the Board’s performance and effectiveness as a whole. Each Director was requested to complete evaluation forms to assess the overall effectiveness of the Board as a whole. The appraisal process focused on the evaluation of factors such as the size and composition of the Board, the Board’s access to information, Board processes and accountability, communication with Senior Management and Directors’ standard of conduct. The NC discussed the results of the Board performance evaluation to identify areas where improvements were necessary and made recommendations to the Board for action to be taken.

The Board and the NC have endeavoured to ensure that directors appointed to the Board possess the background, experience, business knowledge, fi nance and management skills critical to the Group’s business. They have also ensured that each director, with his special contributions, brings to the Board an independent and objective perspective to enable balanced and well-considered decisions to be made.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Principle 6: In order to fulfi l their responsibilities, directors should be provided with complete, adequate and timely information prior to board meetings and on an on-going basis so as to enable them to make informed decisions to discharge their duties and responsibilities

Directors are furnished with detailed information concerning the Group from time to time to support their decision-making process and to fulfi l their responsibilities. Management accounts of the Group’s performance, position, and prospects are provided to Executive Directors on a monthly basis and to all members of the Board on a quarterly basis.

Prior to each Board meeting, the members of the Board are each provided with the relevant documents and information necessary, including background and explanatory statements, fi nancial statements, budgets, forecasts and progress reports of the Group’s business operations for them to comprehensively understand the issues to be deliberated upon and make informed decisions thereon.

As a general rule, notices are sent to the directors one week in advance of Board meetings, followed by the Board papers, in order for the directors to be adequately prepared for the meetings.

The Board (whether individually or as whole) has separate and independent access to Management and the Company Secretary at all times, and may seek independent professional advice if necessary, at the expense of the Company. The Company Secretary attends all Board meetings and ensures that all Board procedures are followed. The Company Secretary ensures that the Company complies with the requirements of the Companies Act, Cap. 50, and the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST.

The Directors may seek professional advice in the furtherance of their duties and the costs will be borne by the Company.

PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING REMUNERATION POLICIES, LEVEL AND MIX OF REMUNERATION AND DISCLOSURE OF REMUNERATION

Principle 7: There should be a formal and transparent procedure for developing policy on executive remuneration and for fi xing the remuneration packages of individual directors. No director should be involved in deciding his own remuneration.

Principle 8: The level and structure of remuneration should be aligned with the long-term interest and risk policies of the Company, and should be appropriate to attract, retain and motivate (a) directors to provide good stewardship of the Company, and (b) key management personnel to successfully manage the Company. However, companies should avoid paying more than is necessary for this purpose.

CORPORATEGOVERNANCE REPORT

23SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

Principle 9: Each company should provide clear disclosure of its remuneration policies, level and mix of remuneration, and the procedure for setting remuneration in the Company’s Annual Report. It should provide disclosure in relation to its remuneration policies to enable investors to understand the link between remuneration paid to directors and key management personnel, and performance.

The RC comprises the following members:

Mr Lim How Teck – ChairmanMr Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien Mdm Ho Geok Choo Madeleine

The RC makes recommendations to the Board on the framework of remuneration, and the specifi c remuneration package for each director.

The RC is governed by its written terms of reference. The duties and powers of the RC are, inter alia, as follows:

1) To recommend to the Board a framework of remuneration for the directors and senior Management which covers all aspects of remuneration, including but not limited to directors’ fees, salaries, allowances, bonuses, options and benefi ts-in-kind.

2) To determine specifi c remuneration package for each Executive Director.

3) To recommend to the Board the remuneration of non-executive directors, which should be commensurate to the level of their respective contributions, taking into account factors such as effort and time spent, and the responsibilities of our non-executive directors.

4) To determine the targets for any performance-related pay schemes in respect of the executive directors of the Group, and to review and to recommend to the Board the terms of renewal of their service contracts.

5) To administer the Employee Share Option Scheme and the Performance Share Plan of the Company.

The members of the RC are familiar with executive compensation matters as they manage their own businesses and/ or are holding other directorships. The RC has full authority to engage any external professional to advise on matters regarding executive compensation matters, if required.

The RC’s recommendations will be submitted for endorsement by our Board. No director is involved in deciding his own remuneration.

In setting remuneration packages, the Company takes into account pay and employment conditions within the same industry and in comparable companies, as well as the Group’s relative performance and the performance of individual directors.

At the moment, the Company does not use any contractual provisions to reclaim incentive components of remuneration from Executive Directors and key management executives in exceptional circumstances of misstatement of fi nancial results, or of misconduct resulting in fi nancial loss to the Company. The RC, will consider, if required, whether there is a requirement to institute such contractual provisions to allow the Company to reclaim the incentive components of the remuneration of the Executive Directors and key management executives paid in prior years in such exceptional circumstances.

Our Independent Directors receive directors’ fees for their effort and time spent, responsibilities and contribution to the Board, subject to shareholders’ approval at annual general meetings.

The remuneration for our Executive Directors comprises a basic salary component and a variable component, based on the performance of the Group as a whole and their individual performance.

The Board supports and is aware of the need for transparency. However, after deliberation and debate, the Board is of the view that full disclosure of the specifi c remuneration of each individual director and the Group’s key management executives (who are not directors) is not in the best interests of the Company and therefore shareholders. Inter alia, the Board has taken into account the very sensitive nature of the matter, the relative size of the Group, the highly competitive business environment the Group operates in and the irrevocable negative impact such disclosure may have on the Group.

ACCOUNTABILITY

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

In presenting the quarterly, half-year and full year fi nancial statements to shareholders, the Board aims to provide shareholders with a detailed and balanced analysis and explanation of the Group’s fi nancial position and prospects.

Management currently provides the Board with a continual fl ow of relevant information on a timely basis in order to assist the Board in understanding the fi nancial status and performance of the Group, in order for the Board to effectively discharge its duties.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE

Principle 11: The Board is responsible for the governance of risk. The Board should ensure that Management maintains a sound system of risk management and internal controls to safeguard shareholders’ interests and the Company’s assets, and should determine the nature and extent of the signifi cant risks which the Board is willing to take in achieving its strategic objectives.

Principle 12: The Board should establish an Audit Committee with written terms of reference which clearly set out its authority and duties.

The Risk Management Committee forms part of the Audit Committee.

The Board, assisted by the AC has oversight of the risk management system in the Group. The practice of risk management is undertaken by the Executive Directors and senior Management under the purview of the AC and the Board. Management regularly reviews the Group’s business and operational activities to identify areas of signifi cant business risks as well as appropriate measures to control and mitigate these risks within the Group’s policies and strategies. Management reviews all signifi cant control policies and procedures and highlights all signifi cant matters to the Board and the AC.

The Board acknowledges that risk is inherent in business and these are commercial risks to be taken in the course of generating a return on business activities. The Board’s policy is that risks should be managed within the Group’s overall risk tolerance.

The system of internal controls and risk management established by the Group provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the Group will not be adversely affected by any event that can be reasonably foreseen as it strives to achieve its business objectives. However, the Board also notes that no system of internal controls and risk management can provide absolute assurance in this regard, or absolute assurance against the occurrence of material errors, poor judgment in decision-making, human errors, losses, frauds or other irregularities.

The AC comprises the following members:

Mr Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien - ChairmanMr Lim How TeckMdm Ho Geok Choo Madeleine

The members of the AC have suffi cient fi nancial management expertise, as interpreted by the Board in its business judgment, to discharge the AC’s functions.

The AC functions within its written terms of reference. The main duties and powers of the AC are inter alia, as follows:

1) To review with the external auditor their audit plan, scope and results of the audit.

2) To ensure co-ordination between the external auditor and Management, review the co-operation and assistance given by Management to the external auditor, and discuss issues and concerns, if any, arising from the audit and any other matters which the external auditor may wish to discuss (in the absence of Management where necessary).

12) To undertake such other reviews and projects as may be requested by the Board and report to the Board its fi ndings from time to time on matters arising and requiring the attention of the AC.

The AC has full authority to investigate any matter within its terms of reference, full access to and co-operation from Management and full discretion to invite any director, executive offi cer or other employee of the Group to attend its meetings, and is given reasonable resources to enable it to discharge its functions properly and effectively.

In July 2010, the Singapore Exchange Limited and Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority has launched the Guidance to Audit Committees on Evaluation of Quality of Work performed by External Auditors which aims to facilitate the AC in evaluating the external auditors. Accordingly, the AC had evaluated the performance of the external auditors based on the key indicators of audited quality set out in the Guidance.

The AC met the external auditor in February 2016 without the presence of the Company’s Management to review any matters that may be raised privately. In addition, updates on changes in accounting standards and treatment are prepared by external auditor and circulated to members of the AC periodically for information.

The AC has reviewed the nature and extent of non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) and its member fi rms (collectively known as the “External Auditors”) and the fees paid for their audit services, non-audit services and the aggregate amount of fees paid in respect of the year ended 31 December 2015. The AC has reviewed the nature and amount of non-audit fees paid to the External Auditors and is of the view that the independence of the External Auditors have not been compromised.

All of the Group’s Singapore-incorporated and foreign-incorporated subsidiaries and associated companies are audited by KPMG or KPMG member fi rms except one non-signifi cant foreign-incorporated associated company which is audited by a non-KPMG member fi rm.

Therefore, the Group has complied with the Rules 715 and 716 of the Listing Manual.

The AC has reviewed the Company’s whistle-blowing policy where the staff of the Company and third parties may, in confi dence, raise concerns about possible improprieties in matters of fi nancial reporting or other matters, with the objective of ensuring that arrangements are in place for the independent investigation of such matters for appropriate follow-up action.

INTERNAL AUDIT

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

The Company has outsourced its internal audit function to a professional service fi rm, Baker Tilly Consultancy (Singapore) Pte Ltd since 26 August 2013. The internal auditors report to the AC. To ensure the adequacy of the internal audit function, the AC reviews and approves the internal audit plan on an annual basis. The AC is satisfi ed that the internal auditor is independent and has the appropriate standing to perform its functions effectively.

The AC also assesses the effectiveness of the internal audit, on an annual basis, by examining the scope of the internal audit work and its independence, the internal auditor’s report and its relationship with the external auditors.

The Group’s internal controls and systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the fi nancial information and to safeguard and maintain accountability of assets. Procedures are in place to identify major business risks and evaluate potential fi nancial effects, as well as for the authorisation of capital expenditure and investments.

Based on the aforesaid and the statutory audit conducted by the External Auditor and the Internal Auditors, the Board, with the concurrence of the AC, is of the opinion that the system of internal controls, including fi nancial, operational, compliance and information technology controls and risk management, are adequate to meet the needs of the Group’s existing business objectives, having addressed the critical risk areas as at 31 December 2015. While acknowledging their responsibility for the system of internal controls, the Directors are aware that such a system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate risks, and therefore cannot provide absolute assurance in this regard, or absolute assurance against the occurrence of material errors or mis-statements, poor judgment in decision-making, human error, losses, fraud or other irregularities.

The Executive Director and Group Chief Financial Offi cer at the fi nancial year-end have provided a letter of assurance (a) that the fi nancial records have been properly maintained and the fi nancial statements give true and fair view of the Company’s operations and fi nances and (b) regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management and internal control systems.

Every matter requiring shareholders’ approval is proposed as a separate resolution. Each item of special business included in the notice of meeting is accompanied, where appropriate, by an explanation for the proposed resolution. As authentication of shareholder identity information and other related security issues still remain a concern, the Company has decided, for the time being, not to implement voting in absentia by mail, facsimile or email. Participation of shareholders is encouraged at the AGM through the open question and answer session. The Directors, Management and the External Auditor are available to address any queries or concerns on matters relating to the Group and its operations.

The detailed voting results, including the total number of votes cast for or against each resolution tabled, are published instantaneously at the AGM and announced via SGXNet after the AGM.

DIVIDEND POLICY

While the Company has not formally instituted a dividend policy, it has a good track record of paying annual dividends to shareholders. In proposing any dividend payout and/or determining the form, frequency and/or the amount of such dividend payout, the Board will take into account, inter alia, the Group’s fi nancial position, retained earnings, results of operation and cash fl ow, the Group’s expected working capital requirements, the Group’s expected capital expenditure and future expansion and investment plans and other funding requirements, general economic conditions and other internal or external factors that may have an impact on the business or fi nancial performance and position of the Group.

DEALINGS IN SECURITIES

The Company has adopted an internal code which prohibits dealings in the securities of the Company by Directors and officers of the Group while in possession of price-sensitive information. Under this code, the Company, Directors and employees of the Group are not permitted to deal with the securities of the Company during the period beginning two weeks and one month before the announcement of the quarterly and annual results respectively, and ending on the date of the announcement. In addition, Directors and officers are expected to observe insider trading laws at all times even when dealing in securities within the permitted trading period.

Directors and employees are also discouraged from dealing in the Company’s securities on short-term consideration.

DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Except as disclosed under Interested Person Transactions, there is no material contract entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries involving the interests of any Director during FY2015.

INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

As a listed company, the Company has taken the following steps to ensure compliance with the requirements of Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST on interested person transactions, including ensuring that interested person transactions are properly reviewed, approved, and conducted on an arm’s length basis.

The Board meets quarterly to review if the Group will be entering into any interested person transaction. If the Group is intending to enter into an interested person transaction, the Board will ensure that the Group complies with the requisite rules under Chapter 9.

The AC also meets once every three months to review if the Group will be entering into any interested person transaction, and if so, the AC ensures that the relevant rules under Chapter 9 are complied with.

When a potential confl ict of interest arises, the director concerned does not participate in discussions and refrains from exercising any infl uence over other members of the Board.

INDEPENDENTAUDITOR’S REPORTTo the members of the Company Swissco Holdings Limited

35SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

Report on the fi nancial statements

We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of Swissco Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the statements of fi nancial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015, the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash fl ows of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 36 to 96.

Management’s responsibility for the fi nancial 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, Chapter 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 fi nancial statements and to maintain accountability of assets.

Auditors’ 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 of fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group and the statement of fi nancial position of the Company 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 fi nancial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2015 and the fi nancial performance, changes in equity and cash fl ows of the Group for the year ended on that date.

Other matter

The fi nancial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodifi ed opinion on those statements on 31 March 2015.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiary corporations incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

NOTES TO THEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSYear ended 31 December 2015

40 SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

These notes form an integral part of the fi nancial statements.

The fi nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2016.

1 Domicile and activities

Swissco Holdings Limited (“Swissco” or the “Company”) is listed on the Singapore Exchange and incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. The address of the Company’s registered offi ce is No. 21 Tuas Road, Singapore 638489.

The fi nancial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”) and the Group’s interest in equity-accounted investees.

The Group is primarily involved in the drilling rig chartering, service rig chartering, vessel chartering, ship repair and maintenance services, and maritime services.

2 Accounting for a very substantial acquisition

On 30 July 2014, the Company completed the following transactions that were proposed in the Circular to Shareholders dated 30 June 2014.

(a) Share consolidation

The Company consolidated every two shares into one consolidated share. The total number of shares in the Company after the share consolidation was 218,649,252.

(b) Acquisition of Scott and English Energy Pte. Ltd.

The Company acquired the entire issued and paid-up share capital of Scott and English Energy Pte. Ltd. (“S&E”), satisfi ed by the allotment and issue of 452,380,952 consideration shares, resulting in the total number of issued shares in the capital of the Company increasing from 218,649,252 shares to 671,030,204 shares.

Pursuant to the acquisition, S&E became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group

The S&E acquisition had been accounted for as a reverse acquisition as the shareholders of S&E became the majority shareholders of the Group. The legal subsidiary (i.e. S&E) was therefore considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements had been prepared as a continuation of S&E’s fi nancial statements.

Since such consolidated fi nancial statements represent a continuation of the fi nancial statements of S&E,

(a) the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures prior to the reverse acquisition collectively known as “S&E Group” were recognised and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts;

(b) the assets and liabilities of the legal parent (i.e. the Company) and its subsidiaries and joint ventures prior to the S&E acquisition (“Swissco Group”) were recognised and measured at fair value in accordance with FRS103 Business Combination;

(c) the retained earnings and other equity balances recognised in the consolidated fi nancial statements at the date of the acquisition were the retained earnings and other equity balances of S&E Group immediately before the business combination;

NOTES TO THEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSYear ended 31 December 2015

41SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

2 Accounting for a very substantial acquisition (continued)

In the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group (continued)

(d) the amount recognised as issued equity interests in the consolidated fi nancial statements was determined by adding the issued equity interest of the legal subsidiary (i.e. S&E) outstanding immediately before the business combination to the purchase consideration of the reverse acquisition at fair value at the acquisition date amounting to US$158 million (S$201 million). However, the equity structure (i.e. the number and type of equity interests issued) refl ected the equity structure of the Company, including the ordinary share of the Company issued to effect the combination. Accordingly, the equity structure of the legal subsidiary (i.e. S&E) was restated using the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement in the comparative period to refl ect the Company’s equivalent number of shares;

(e) the comparative fi gures presented in these consolidated fi nancial statements are those of S&E group, till the date of acquisition and the results of the Group from the acquisition date onwards; and

(f) earnings per share (EPS) refl ects the results of S&E Group till the date of the acquisition, and the results of the Group from the acquisition date onwards.

Consolidated fi nancial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition shall refl ect the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Swissco Group. Therefore, the purchase consideration at fair value of the reverse acquisition was allocated to the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Swissco Group at their fair values as at 30 July 2014. The excess of the cost of the reverse acquisition over the net fair value of those items amounting to US$15.4 million was recognised as goodwill in 2014 (Note 36).

At the Company level balance sheet

Reverse acquisition accounting applies only in the consolidated fi nancial statements. Therefore, in the legal parent’s (i.e. the Company) separate fi nancial statements, the investment in the legal subsidiary (i.e. S&E) is accounted for at cost, satisfi ed by the allotment and issuance by the Company of 452,380,952 ordinary shares credited as fully paid-up.

3 Basis of preparation

3.1 Statement of compliance

These fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”).

3.2 Basis of measurement

The fi nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise described in the notes below.

3.3 Functional and presentation currency

These fi nancial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s functional currency with effect from 1 October 2014. Prior to 1 October 2014, the functional currency of the Company and certain subsidiaries were presented in Singapore dollars (“SGD”). The balance sheet of the Company and the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group were also presented in SGD.

From 1 October 2014, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Group changed their functional currency to USD as USD better refl ects the current transactions and circumstances involving the drilling rig business of the Group. Consequently, the balance sheet of the Company and consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group were presented in USD.

NOTES TO THEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSYear ended 31 December 2015

42 SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

3 Basis of preparation (continued)

3.3 Functional and presentation currency (continued)

The change in functional currency of the Company and the affected subsidiaries were applied prospectively from the date of change in accordance with FRS 21 The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rate. On the date of the change of functional currency, all assets, liabilities, issued capital and other components of equity and profi t or loss account items were translated to USD at the exchange rate on that date. As a result, the cumulative currency translation differences which arose up to the date of the change of functional currency were reallocated to other components within equity.

All fi nancial information presented have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

3.4 Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with FRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a signifi cant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next fi nancial year are included in the following notes:

Note 6 – impairment of available-for-sale fi nancial assets;

Note 7 – allowance for doubtful debts; and

Note 13 – useful lives, residual values and measurement of recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment.

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both fi nancial and non-fi nancial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. Management has overall responsibility for all signifi cant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.

Management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the management assesses and documents the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of FRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classifi ed.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 : quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 : inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

NOTES TO THEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSYear ended 31 December 2015

43SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

3 Basis of preparation (continued)

3.4 Use of estimates and judgements (continued)

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is signifi cant to the entire measurement (with Level 3 being the lowest).

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

Note 19 – share-based payment arrangements; and

Note 33 – fi nancial instruments.

3.5 Changes in accounting policies

With effect from 1 January 2015, the Group and the Company have adopted the new and amended FRSs that are mandatory for application from that date. The adoption of the new or revised FRS did not result in substantial changes to the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies and had no material effect on the fi nancial statements.

4 Signifi cant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these fi nancial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

4.1 Basis of consolidation

(i) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with FRS 103 Business Combination as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group.

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests (“NCI”) in the acquiree;

over the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profi t or loss.

NCI that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets in the event of liquidation are measured either at fair value or at the NCI’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifi able net assets, at the acquisition date. The measurement basis taken is elected on a transaction-by-transaction basis. All other NCI are measured at acquisition-date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by FRSs.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss. Adjustments to NCI arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.

NOTES TO THEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSYear ended 31 December 2015

44 SWISSCO HOLDINGS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2015

4 Signifi cant accounting policies (continued)

4.1 Basis of consolidation (continued)

(ii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The fi nancial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated fi nancial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the NCI in a subsidiary are allocated to the NCI even if doing so causes the NCI to have a defi cit balance.

(iii) Loss of control

Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any NCI and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or defi cit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profi t or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale fi nancial asset depending on the level of infl uence retained.

(iv) Investments in associates and joint ventures (equity-accounted investees)

Associates are those entities in which the Group has signifi cant infl uence, but not control or joint control, over the fi nancial and operating policies of these entities. Signifi cant infl uence is presumed to exist when the Group holds 20% or more of the voting power of another entity. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated fi nancial statements include the Group’s share of the profi t or loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that signifi cant infl uence or joint control commences until the date that signifi cant infl uence or joint control ceases.

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, together with any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to fund the investee’s operations or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

(v) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(vi) Subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in the separate fi nancial statements

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are stated in the Company’s statement of fi nancial position at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

4 Signifi cant accounting policies (continued)

4.1 Basis of consolidation (continued)

(vii) Reverse acquisition

Consolidated fi nancial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition in 2014 were issued under the name of the legal parent (accounting acquiree) but described in the notes as a continuation of the fi nancial statements of the legal subsidiary (accounting acquirer), with one adjustment, which was to adjust retroactively the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to refl ect the legal capital of the accounting acquire.

Refer to Note 2 for the impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements.

4.2 Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profi t or loss, except for the differences which are recognised in OCI arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments (except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in OCI are reclassifi ed to profi t or loss).

(ii) Translation of Group entities’ fi nancial statements

The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinfl ationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(a) assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date;

(b) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and

(c) all resulting currency translation differences are recognised in OCI, and presented in foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

4.3 Financial instruments

(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets

The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other fi nancial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profi t or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

4 Signifi cant accounting policies (continued)

4.3 Financial instruments (continued)

(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets (continued)

The Group derecognises a fi nancial asset when the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash fl ows on the fi nancial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the fi nancial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. Any interest in transferred fi nancial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Group classifi es non-derivative fi nancial assets into the following categories: loans and receivables

and available-for-sale fi nancial assets.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables, except for certain loans to joint ventures which have been accounted for in accordance with Note 4.1(vi).

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignifi cant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments. For the purpose of the statement of cash fl ows, pledged deposits are excluded whilst bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included in cash and cash equivalents.

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are non-derivative fi nancial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classifi ed in any of the above categories of fi nancial assets. Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognised in OCI and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognised, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets comprise equity securities.

(ii) Non-derivative fi nancial liabilities

The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. Financial liabilities for contingent consideration payable in a business combination are recognised at the acquisition date. All other fi nancial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profi t or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a fi nancial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

4.3 Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) Non-derivative fi nancial liabilities (continued)

Financial liabilities for contingent consideration payable in a business combination are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profi t or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Group classifi es non-derivative fi nancial liabilities into the other fi nancial liabilities category. Such fi nancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these fi nancial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other fi nancial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables.

(iii) Share capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Preference share capital

Preference share capital is classifi ed as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the Company’s option, and any dividends are discretionary. Discretionary dividends thereon are recognised as distributions within equity upon approval by the Company’s shareholders.

(iv) Derivative fi nancial instruments

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; any attributable transaction costs are recognised in profi t or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

Separable embedded derivatives

Changes in the fair value of separated embedded derivatives are recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

(v) Intra-group fi nancial guarantees in the separate fi nancial statements

Financial guarantees are fi nancial instruments issued by the Company that require the issuer to make specifi ed payments to reimburse the holder for the loss it incurs because a specifi ed debtor fails to meet payment when due in accordance with the original or modifi ed terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantees are recognised initially at fair value and are classified as financial liabilities. Subsequent to initial measurement, the fi nancial guarantees are stated at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation and the amount that would be recognised if they were accounted for as contingent liabilities. When fi nancial guarantees are terminated before their original expiry date, the carrying amount of the fi nancial guarantee is transferred to profi t or loss.

4.4 Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes:

the cost of materials and direct labour;

any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use; and

capitalised borrowing costs.

Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash fl ow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profi t or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefi ts embodied within the component will fl ow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profi t or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Signifi cant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation is recognised as an expense in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment, unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Depreciation is recognised from the date that the property, plant and equipment are installed and are ready for use, or in respect of internally constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use.

4 Signifi cant accounting policies (continued)

4.4 Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(iii) Depreciation (continued)

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows:

Vessels/barges 15 - 25 years Rigs 15 years Leasehold buildings 10 - 30 years Leasehold improvements 5 years Motor vehicles 5 years Furniture, fi ttings and computers 3 - 10 years Plant and equipment 5 years

Vessels/barges and rigs are subject to overhauls at regular intervals. Dry docking costs are determined based on the estimated costs of dry docking and are separately capitalised and depreciated over a period of 5 years in order to refl ect the estimated interval to the next dry docking. The costs of the dry dockings subsequently incurred are capitalised as additions and the carrying amounts of replaced components of the vessel are written off to profi t or loss.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.

(iv) Vessels-under-construction

Vessels-under-construction are stated at cost, which include the progress billings paid in accordance with the construction contracts and other directly attributable costs incurred during the construction period. No depreciation is provided on vessels-under-construction.

4.5 Intangible assets and goodwill

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. For the measurement of goodwill at initial recognition, see Note 4.1(i).

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of associates and joint ventures, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the associates and joint ventures.

(ii) Acquired order backlog and computer software

Order backlogs and computer software acquired are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefi ts embodied in the specifi c asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill, is recognised in profi t or loss as incurred.

4 Signifi cant accounting policies (continued)

4.5 Intangible assets and goodwill (continued)

(iv) Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated based on the cost of the asset, less its residual value.

Amortisation is recognised in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows:

Order backlog 1 - 2 years Computer software 3 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.

4.6 Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the fi rst-in fi rst-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

4.7 Impairment

(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets

A fi nancial asset not carried at fair value through profi t or loss, including an interest in an associate and jointly controlled entity, is assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A fi nancial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash fl ows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that fi nancial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers in the group, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a signifi cant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.

Loans and receivables

The Group considers evidence of impairment for loans and receivables at both a specifi c asset and collective level. All individually signifi cant loans and receivables are assessed for specifi c impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identifi ed. Loans and receivables that are not individually signifi cant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together loans and receivables with similar risk characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

4 Signifi cant accounting policies (continued)

4.7 Impairment (continued)

(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets (continued)

An impairment loss in respect of a fi nancial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows, discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profi t or loss and refl ected in an allowance account against loans and receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profi t or loss.

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profi t or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss recognised previously in profi t or loss.    Changes in cumulative impairment provisions attributable to application of the effective interest method are refl ected as a component of interest income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, then the impairment loss is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profi t or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in OCI.

Associates and joint ventures

An impairment loss in respect of an associate or joint venture is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount in accordance with Note 4.7(ii). An impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

(ii) Non-fi nancial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-fi nancial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill that have indefi nite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash infl ows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash infl ows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed refl ects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefi t from the synergies of the combination.

The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash infl ows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated.

4 Signifi cant accounting policies (continued)

4.7 Impairment (continued)

(ii) Non-fi nancial assets (continued)

Impairment losses are recognised in profi t or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated fi rst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 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, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

4.8 Employee benefi ts

(i) Defi ned contribution plans

A defi ned contribution plan is a post-employment benefi t plan under which an entity pays fi xed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defi ned contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefi t expense in profi t or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.

(ii) Short-term employee benefi ts

Short-term employee benefi t obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profi t-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(iii) Share-based payment transactions

The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to refl ect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to refl ect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised as employee benefi ts expense in profi t or loss.

4.9 Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outfl ow of economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation.

4.10 Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of goods and service tax, rebates and discounts. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related cost can be reliably measured, it is probable that the collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured and when the specifi c criteria for each of the Group’s activities are met:

(i) Chartering income, sale of out-port-limit services and related income

Chartering income of vessels and rigs is recognised in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the charter hire period.

Sale of out-port-limit services and related income is recognised when the services are rendered.

(ii) Ship repair and related services

Revenue from rendering of services for short-term ship repair projects is recognised upon completion of the job as certifi ed by the service engineers. Provision is made in full where applicable for anticipated losses on project in progress.

(iii) Sale of vessels

Revenue from the sale of vessels is recognised when signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, there is neither no continuing management involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the vessels sold, and the amount of revenue and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

(iv) Sale of equipment and consumables

Sale of bunker fuel and equipment is recognised when the Group delivers the bunker fuel and equipment to its customers.

(v) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

4.11 Leases

(i) When the Group is the lessee:

Operating leases

The Group leases offi ce premises under operating leases from non-related parties.

Leases where substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessors are classifi ed as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessors) are recognised in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Contingent rents are recognised as an expense in profi t or loss when incurred.

(ii) When the Group is the lessor:

The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment under operating leases to non-related parties.

Operating leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group retains substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classifi ed as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognised in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

4.11 Leases (continued)

(ii) When the Group is the lessor: (continued)

Operating leases (continued)

Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased assets and recognised as an expense in profi t or loss over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

Contingent rents are recognised as income in profi t or loss when earned.

4.12 Finance income and fi nance costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profi t or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and medium term notes, amortisation on facility fee and corporate guarantee fees payable to a joint venture.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profi t or loss using the effective interest method.

4.13 Tax

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profi t or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and

liabilities for fi nancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profi t or loss;

temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

The measurement of deferred taxes refl ects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi ts will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefi t will be realised.

4.13 Tax (continued)

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

4.14 Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profi t or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

4.15 Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Executive Committee (“Exco”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete fi nancial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the Group’s Exco include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters), head offi ce expenses, and tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

4.16 New standards and interpretations not adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these fi nancial statements. In addition, Singapore-incorporated companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) will apply a new fi nancial reporting framework identical to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for fi nancial year ending 31 December 2018 onwards. Singapore-incorporated companies listed on SGX will have to assess the impact of IFRS 1: First-time adoption of IFRS when transitioning to the new reporting framework. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting these new standards and interpretations and the new reporting framework on the fi nancial statements of the Group and the Company. The Group does not plan to early adopt these standards.

These new standards include, among others, FRS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and FRS 109 Financial Instruments which are mandatory for adoption by the Group on 1 January 2018.

FRS 115 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It also introduces new cost guidance which requires certain costs of obtaining and fulfi lling contracts to be recognised as separate assets when specifi ed criteria are met. When effective, FRS 115 replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including FRS 18 Revenue, FRS 11 Construction Contracts, INT FRS 113 Customer Loyalty Programmes, INT FRS 115 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, INT FRS 118 Transfers of Assets from Customers and INT FRS 31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

FRS 109 replaces most of the existing guidance in FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. It includes revised guidance on classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on fi nancial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements.

As FRS 115 and FRS 109, when effective, will change the existing accounting standards and guidance applied by the Group and the Company in accounting for revenue and fi nancial instruments, these standards are expected to be relevant to the Group and the Company.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether the investments are impaired. This assessment takes into account the assumptions about future business outlook, operational and fi nancial cash fl ows of the investee companies. Under the Company’s formal impairment assessment of its investment, the recoverable amount is determined based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell based on valuation reports by independent professional valuers and value-in-use calculations by management, on cash generating unit (CGU) basis.

Management estimated the recoverable amounts for the investments and found them to be higher than their carrying amounts. The fair value less cost to sell is determined based on adjusted net assets value of each CGU, which was determined by taking into account the fair value of underlying assets and liabilities of the individual CGU and/or income approach through the use of discounted cash fl ow method. Both approach are categorised as a Level 3 fair value in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs in the valuation technique used.

The Group has vessels under construction with costs capitalised up to reporting date totalling US$28,106,000 (2014: US$48,800,000). Included in the cost capitalised above is the borrowing costs related to the construction of vessels amounting to US$558,000 (2014: US$86,000). Borrowing costs capitalised during the year amounted to US$472,000 (2014: US$86,000).

The leasehold buildings, rigs and vessels of the Group with a total carrying amount of US$264,314,000 (2014: US$289,741,000) are pledged as securities for bank borrowings (Note 16 (a)) of the Group and Company.

Useful lives and residual values

The Group reviews the useful lives and residual values of its vessels and rigs at each fi nancial year-end and any adjustments are made on a prospective basis. If estimates of the residual values are revised, the amount of depreciation expenses in the future periods will be changed.

The useful lives of the vessels and rigs are assessed periodically based on the condition of the vessels and rigs, market conditions and other regulatory requirements. If the estimates of useful lives for the vessels and rigs are revised or there is a change in useful lives, the amount of depreciation expense recorded in future periods will be changed.

Impairment assessment of vessels/barges, rigs and vessels under construction

At each reporting date, judgement is used to determine whether there is any indication of impairment on the Group’s vessels/barges, rigs and vessels under construction. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. When considering impairment indicators, the Group considers both internal (e.g. adverse changes in operating and fi nancial performance of vessel, extended periods of idle time and/or inability to contract specifi c assets) and external sources (e.g. adverse changes in the business environment). Based on management assessment, there were indications of possible impairment for the Group’s vessels/barges and rigs.

For the purposes of impairment assessment, each vessel/barge and rig is considered as a separate CGU. The recoverable amounts of the Group’s vessels/barges and rigs were determined based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell which is based on valuation reports by independent professional valuers and value-in-use calculations by management. In 2015, the Group recognised total impairment loss of US$14,000,000 in other expenses (2014: Nil).

Vessels/barges

Vessels/barges were impaired to its fair value less cost of disposal. The fair value was determined by an external, independent valuation company by estimating its open market valuation on a willing buyer willing seller basis, based on the recent selling prices of vessels/barges with similar specifi cation, age and condition. The fair value was categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation technique used. The signifi cant unobservable inputs used in the valuation were the recent selling prices of vessels/barges with similar specifi cation, age and condition. To arrive at the recoverable amount, the estimated fair value has been further adjusted to refl ect the additional costs that would have to be incurred in order to sell the vessels/barges. Based on these estimates, an impairment loss of US$2,000,000 was recognised in “Other expenses”.

Rigs

The recoverable amounts of rigs were based on value-in-use calculations with the following key assumptions:

• Cash fl ows were projected based on past experience and actual operating results for the estimated remaining useful life of the rig;

• Off-hire period in 2016 was applied for rigs without existing secured contracts;

• Effective utilisation rate of 90% after FY2016 was used in the cash fl ow computation (taking into consideration idle period for rig surveys);

• Charter rates for FY2017 to FY2019 were estimated based on actual historical rates, reduced by approximately 20% taking into consideration the current market expectations. Management applied a 5% increase in day rates after every three year period until the end of the rig’s useful life.

Impairment assessment of vessels/barges, rigs and vessels under construction (continued)

Rigs (continued)

• Residual values of US$500,000 based on scrap value were used in the cash fl ow computation; and

• Discount rate of 10% was estimated based on weighted average cost of capital for similar assets.

Based on the above assessment, management recognised an impairment loss of US$12,000,000 in 2015 in “Other expenses”.

Following the impairment loss recognised for the vessels/barges and rigs, the recoverable amounts are equal to the carrying amount, and any adverse movements in key assumptions can lead to further impairment losses in future periods.

In 2014, the carrying amounts of all of the Group’s CGUs were supported by their recoverable amounts determined based on valuation reports issued by independent professional valuers, and therefore no impairment loss has been recognised.

Vessels under construction

Under the Group’s impairment assessment of its vessels under construction, the recoverable amounts for the Group’s vessels under construction were determined based on the replacement cost approach and/or value-in-use calculations. Based on the management’s assessment, there were no impairment noted for the vessels under construction at the reporting date.

(a) Goodwill on consolidation (continued)

Impairment test for goodwill

An impairment assessment was undertaken in respect of the Group’s goodwill which is allocated to the vessel chartering cash-generating unit (“CGU”). The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined based on value-in-use. Cash fl ow projections used in the value-in-use calculations were based on fi nancial budgets approved by management covering a fi ve-year period.

Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations:

2014Vessel

chartering

Gross margin 45%

Growth rate 4%

Discount rate 11%

Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectations of market developments. The growth rates used were consistent with forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used were pre-tax and refl ected specifi c risks relating to the relevant segments.

Based on the assessment, the recoverable amount of the CGU was lower than its carrying amount. Accordingly, an impairment loss of US$15,414,000 was recognised against goodwill and included within “Other expenses” in the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income in 2014.

An order backlog, arising from vessel chartering and sale contracts, was acquired from the reverse acquisition (Note 36).

Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the fi nancial year.

Due to the reverse acquisition in 2014, the number of ordinary shares outstanding from the beginning of 2014 to the reverse acquisition date for purpose of calculating the weighted average number of ordinary shares is deemed to be the number of ordinary shares issued by the Company to the owners of S&E, and the number of ordinary shares outstanding from the reverse acquisition date to the end of 2014 is the actual number of ordinary shares of the Company outstanding during 2014.

29 Earnings per share

(b) Diluted earnings per share

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, profi t attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The dilutive potential ordinary shares of the Company are the redeemable exchangeable preference shares (“REPS”) and share options.

REPS are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares at issuance. For share options, the weighted average number of shares on issue has been adjusted as if all dilutive share options were exercised. The number of shares that could have been issued upon the exercise of all dilutive share options less the number of shares that could have been issued at fair value (determined as the Company’s average share price for the fi nancial year) for the same total proceeds is added to the denominator as the number of shares issued for no consideration. No adjustment is made to the net profi t.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to owners of the Company is calculated as follows:

33 Financial risk management

Financial risk factors The Group’s activities expose it to market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit

risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the unpredictability of fi nancial markets on the Group’s fi nancial performance.

The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of fi nancial risk management for the Group. The management team then establishes the detailed policies such as authority levels, oversight responsibilities, risk identifi cation and measurement and risk exposure limits such as customer credit limits, in accordance with the objectives and underlying principles approved by the Board of Directors.

Financial risk management is carried out by the Finance Department in accordance with policies set by management team. The Finance Department measures the actual exposures against the limits set and prepares regular reports for review by the management team and the Board of Directors.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of fi nancial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

The Group and Company are exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) as certain transactions are denominated in SGD. The Group does not undertake any foreign exchange contracts to hedge its SGD exposure as the management matches fi nancial assets and liabilities denominated in SGD whenever possible.

At 31 December 2015, if the SGD had strengthened/weakened by 5% (2014: 5%) against the USD with all other variable including tax rate being held constant, the Group’s and the Company’s profi t before tax for the fi nancial period would have been US$4,471,000 (2014: US$5,943,000) and US$3,677,000 (2014: US$3,190,000) lower/higher respectively as a result of net currency translation effects on the net fi nancial liability position of the Group denominated in SGD.

Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk on investments classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets. These securities are listed in Singapore. The Group monitors closely the performance of the investee company, including its trading price. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.

If prices for the equity securities listed in Singapore had increased by 10% (2014: 10%) with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the Group’s equity would have been US$132,000 (2014: US$390,000) higher and a 10% decrease in the prices would have decreased the Group’s profi t before tax by US$132,000 (2014: US$390,000).

The Company is not exposed to price risks.

33 Financial risk management (continued)

Interest rate risks

Cash fl ow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profi le of the Group’s interest-bearing fi nancial instruments, as reported to the management are as follows:

Group Company

Nominal amount Nominal amount

US$’000 US$’000 US$’000 US$’000

(140,713) (136,828) 5,674 (4,891)

The Group and Company do not account for any fi xed rate fi nancial assets and liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss. Therefore, in respect of the fi xed rate instrument a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profi t or loss.

The Group and Company are exposed to cash fl ow interest rate risk arising mainly from its variable-rate borrowings. The Group and Company may enter into derivative contracts to hedge its interest rate risks.

If the interest rates had increased/decreased by 1% (2014: 1%) with all other variables being held constant, the profi t before tax of the Group and Company will be lower/higher by US$1,407,000 and US$57,000 respectively (2014: US$1,368,000 and US$49,000 respectively) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on variable rate instruments.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in fi nancial loss to the Group. For trade receivables, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate credit history, and obtaining suffi cient security where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. For other fi nancial assets, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with high credit quality counterparties. The Group regularly monitors the counterparty’s payment profi le and credit exposure at the entity level.

As the Group and the Company do not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of fi nancial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of fi nancial instruments presented on the balance sheet, except for the corporate guarantees of the Company disclosed in Note 32.

The Group’s and Company’s major classes of fi nancial assets are cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale fi nancial assets and trade and other receivables.

The individually impaired receivables mainly relate to customers that are in fi nancial diffi culties and whose payments are not forthcoming.

Based on the Group’s monitoring of customer credit risk, the Group believes that, apart from the above, no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of the remaining trade and other receivables.

Guarantees The maximum exposure of the Company in respect of intra-group fi nancial guarantee (see Note 32) at

the reporting date is if the facilities are drawn down by the subsidiaries, joint venture and associates. As at 31 December 2015, the subsidiaries, joint venture and associates have drawn down loans amounting to US$177,455,000 (2014: US$184,050,000). At the reporting date, the Company does not consider it probable that a claim will be made against the Company under the intra-group fi nancial guarantee.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter diffi culty in meeting the obligations associated with its fi nancial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another fi nancial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have suffi cient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group and Company manage the liquidity risk by maintaining suffi cient cash and available-for-sale fi nancial assets, and available funding through credit facilities to enable them to meet their normal operating commitments. The Group has revolving credit facilities amounting to US$41.0 million of which US$2.4 million is undrawn as at 31 December 2015. At the reporting date, these facilities are still available and the Group expects to continue to rollover its revolving credit facilities to meet its short-term fi nancial obligations as and when they fall due.

The Group has contractual commitments to complete the construction of vessels of US$100.6 million (Note 31). The Group has secured US$38.0 million term loan facilities available for drawdown to fi nance part of the contracted capital commitments.

The following are the contractual maturities of fi nancial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

The cash outfl ows disclosed relate to those instruments held for risk management purposes and which are usually not closed out prior to contractual maturity.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the table above refl ect market forward interest rates at the period end and these amounts may change as market interest rates changes.

Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or obtain new borrowings.

Management monitors capital based on a gearing ratio. The gearing ratio is calculated as net borrowings divided by total equity (including redeemable exchangeable preference shares). Net borrowings are calculated as borrowings less cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash).

The fair value of the available-for-sale fi nancial assets securities is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for these fi nancial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.

The fair value of the derivative fi nancial instrument is determined by using valuation techniques that are not based on market observable inputs. The derivative is classifi ed as Level 3.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of borrowings approximates their carrying amount as these borrowings are at variable rates with repricing within 6 months of the balance sheet date and they are classifi ed as Level 2 in the fair value measurement hierarchy.

The fair value of the fi xed interest-bearing medium term notes is US$59.8 million (2014: US$72.1 million) based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash fl ows at the market rate of interest at the reporting date, which is measured at “Level 2” under fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the medium term notes (Note 16) is, however, not the same as the disclosed fair value, as the medium term notes are carried at amortised cost.

35 Segment information

Management has determined the operating segments based on the organisation of the Group. The results of these operating segments are reviewed by the Executive Committee (“Exco”) to make strategic decisions. The Exco comprises the Chairman and two Executive Directors.

Following the acquisition of Scott and English Energy Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries in July 2014, the Group’s businesses were subsequently reorganised into three broad divisions beginning 2015. The Group commenced its service assets operations during 2015 and reorganised the segment reporting to refl ect the realignment of its organisational structure. As a result, the information that the Group’s chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) regularly reviewed were changed and the Group reports its fi nancial information based on the three reportable segments described below:

• Drilling (drilling rig chartering);

• Offshore support vessels (“OSV”) (vessel chartering (including sale of out-port-limit services and related income), ship repair and maintenance services, maritime related services (including sale of vessels) and OSV related investment activities);

• Service assets (accommodation and service rig chartering); and

• Others relate to corporate activities.

Following a change in the composition of the Group’s reportable segments in 2015, the Group has correspondingly re-presented segment information for 2014. Previously published 2014 segment information for the Group’s “vessel chartering”, “ship repair and maintenance services”, “maritime services”, and “others” segments has been combined and re-presented under the “OSV” segment as comparative.

The Exco assesses the performance of these operating segments based on profi t after tax. Sales between segments are carried out at arm’s length. The revenue from external parties and total assets reported to the Exco is measured in a manner consistent with that of the fi nancial statements.

The segment information provided to the Exco for the reportable segments for the fi nancial year ended 31 December is as follows:

36 Reverse acquisition

On 30 July 2014, the Company acquired the entire issued and paid-up share capital of S&E, satisfi ed by the allotment and issue of 452,380,952 ordinary shares of the Company. The total number of issued ordinary shares in the Company increased from 218,649,252 shares to 671,030,204 shares.

The S&E acquisition had been accounted for as a reverse acquisition as the shareholders of S&E became the majority shareholders of the Company. The legal subsidiary (i.e. S&E) was therefore considered the acquirer for accounting purposes (Note 2). Accordingly, the cost of the reverse acquisition was allocated to the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Swissco Holdings Limited Group prior to the reverse acquisition (“acquired group”) at their fair values as at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of the reverse acquisition over the net fair value of those items amounting to US$15.4 million was recognised as goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet.

The fair value of trade and other receivables was US$13,025,000 and included trade receivables with a fair value of US$12,670,000. The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due is US$14,062,000, of which US$1,392,000 is expected to be uncollectible.

(f) Revenue and profi t contribution

The acquired group contributed revenue of US$54,134,000 and net profi t of US$10,528,000 to the Group for the period from 1 August 2014 to 31 December 2014.

Had the acquired group been consolidated from 1 January 2014, the consolidated revenue and consolidated profi t after tax for the year ended 31 December 2014 would have been US$89,031,000 and US$20,610,000 respectively.

37 Comparative information

(a) During the current year, the Group changed its classification of depreciation and amortisation expenses from cost of sales to other expenses in the Group’s profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. Management believes that this provides a more relevant presentation of the expenses. This reclassifi cation was applied retrospectively. The reclassifi cation had no impact on earnings per share and fi nancial position, and no net impact on the Group’s profi t or loss and other comprehensive income for the current and comparative period. Further details of the effects of the changes are set out below.

(a) As disclosed in Note 30(c) under “Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements” in the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2013 (FY2013), the Group’s available-for-sale fi nancial assets (“AFS”) had a carrying value of S$14,896,000 that was S$9,269,000 below its costs as at 31 December 2013. The decline in fair value of S$9,269,000 was recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve. At the time when the FY2013 consolidated fi nancial statements were issued on 28 March 2014, the Group was of the opinion that the cumulative decline of S$9,269,000 were neither signifi cant nor prolonged and hence, did not reclassify it to profi t and loss during FY2013.

(b) The Group also disclosed that if the decline in fair value below cost was considered signifi cant or prolonged, the Group would record an impairment loss of S$9,296,000 for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2013, being the reclassifi cation of the fair value loss included in the fair value reserve to profi t or loss.

(c) ACRA has reviewed the Company’s FY2013 Financial Statements under ACRA’s Financial Reporting Surveillance Programme and concluded that the FY2013 Financial Statements had not complied with paragraph 67 of FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement because the Group did not reclassify the cumulative fair value loss of S$9,296,000 on its available-for-sale investment from the fair value reserve to the profi t or loss when there was a signifi cant and prolonged decline in the fair value as at 31 December 2013; and

(d) ACRA has agreed to waive the restating and re-fi ling the audited FY2013 Financial Statements and the audited FY2014 Financial Statements, having considered that the Company had acquired the entire issued and paid-up share capital of Scott and English Energy Pte. Ltd. (“S&E”) on 30 July 2014 and accounted for the acquisition as a reverse acquisition. As the FY2014 consolidated fi nancial statements were prepared as a continuation of S&E’s fi nancial statements, the retained earnings and other equity balances at the date of the acquisition were those of S&E. The comparatives of the FY2014 consolidated fi nancial statements were also those of S&E. Accordingly, the non-compliance identifi ed by ACRA in the FY2013 Financial Statements would not have an impact on the FY2014 Financial Statements.

(e) Financial impact on FY2013 and FY2014 fi nancial statements

There is no fi nancial impact on the FY2014 consolidated fi nancial statements due to the reverse acquisition accounting when the Group acquired S&E in 2014, which is in accordance with FRS 103 Business Combination. There is also no fi nancial impact on the balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2014.

The fi nancial impact on the FY2013 consolidated fi nancial statements, should the Group reclassify the cumulative fair value loss of S$9,296,000 on its AFS investment from the fair value reserve to the profi t or loss is as follows:

The Proposed Dividend, if approved at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on 29 April 2016, will be paid on 18 May 2016.

By Order of the BoardTan Ching Chek Company SecretarySingapore, 14 April 2016

Explanatory Notes:

(i) Mr. Lim How Teck, upon re-election as a Director of the Company, remains as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee. Mr. Lim is considered an Independent Director pursuant to Rule 704(8) of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST.

(ii) Mr. Leslie Yeo Choon Hsien, upon re-election as a Director of the Company, remains as the Chairman of the Audit Committee and a member of the Remuneration Committee and the Nominating Committee. Mr. Yeo is considered an Independent Director pursuant to Rule 704(8) of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST.

(iii) (a) The Resolution 8, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company from the date of this Annual General Meeting until the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, or the date by which the next Annual General Meeting of the Company is required by law to be held or such authority is varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting, whichever is the earlier, to issue shares, make or grant instruments convertible into shares and to issue shares pursuant to such instruments, up to a number not exceeding, in total, 50% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) in the capital of the Company, of which up to 20% may be issued other than on a pro rata basis to existing members of the Company.

(b) For determining the aggregate number of shares that may be issued, the percentage of issued shares in the capital of the Company will be calculated based on the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) in the capital of the Company at the time this Resolution is passed after adjusting for new shares arising from the conversion or exercise of the Instruments or any convertible securities, the exercise of share option or the vesting of share awards outstanding or subsisting at the time when this Resolution is passed and any subsequent consolidation or subdivision of shares.

(iv) (a) The Resolution 9, if passed, will give the Company the fl exibility to undertake buy backs of the Shares at any time, subject to market conditions, during the period when the Share Buy Back Mandate is in force. A Share buy back at the appropriate price level is one of the ways through which the return on equity of the Group may be enhanced. Further, amongst others, a Share buy back provides the Company with a mechanism to facilitate the return of surplus cash over and above its ordinary capital requirements in an expedient and cost-effi cient manner. The Directors also expect that Share buy backs may also help mitigate against short term volatility of share price, offset the effects of short term speculation and bolster Shareholders’ confi dence. Share buy backs will also allow the Directors greater control over the Company’s share capital structure, dividend payout and cash reserves.

The buy back of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the EPS and/or NTA per Share of the Company and the Group, and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy back would benefi t the Company and its Shareholders.

Shareholders should note that purchases or acquisitions of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy Back Mandate via market purchases or off-market purchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such purchases or acquisitions would be made in circumstances which would not have a material adverse effect on the fi nancial position of the Company. (Please refer to the Appendix to this Notice for details)

For the foregoing reasons, the Directors seek to renew the Share Buy Back Mandate, which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 29 April 2015.
