Overview
The remarkably strong economic recovery that Singapore and
the region experienced in 2010 has slowed down markedly.
There are now considerable risks to the global economy
emanating from the unfolding financial crisis in the Euro zone.
The Board of Fraser and Neave, Limited (F&NL) will continue
to closely monitor the Groups strategies to seek to strike a
balance of risks and rewards in our efforts to build sustainable
long-term growth in profits.
Over the past decade, the events that have caused a sudden
deterioration in consumer confidence include the 9-11 tragedy
(September 2001), the SARS outbreak (March 2003), the US
sub-prime crisis (August 2007) and the collapse of Lehman
(September 2008). Sharp volatility in trading conditions is
now the norm. Risk awareness has become an important
part of our organisational culture. The recent severe flooding
that took place in Thailand has heightened our awareness
of the importance of risk management. Page 76 of this
Annual Report explains our risk management process that
is embedded within the Group.
The F&N Group has learnt to operate successfully in the face

of challenges. The strength of our organisational resources -
our people, brands and balance sheet - has enabled the Group
to register steady profit growth despite the turbulence over
the past decade.
From FY2001 to FY2011, the Groups revenue and attributable
profit before exceptional items grew at compound annual
growth rates of 10% and 12% respectively, reflecting the
strong fundamentals and resilience of our core businesses
and key markets.
Achievements in FY2011
In the year under review, I am pleased to report that the Group
achieved improvements in all key financial measures even
though FY2010 was itself a record year and hard to beat.
Group Revenue in FY2011 rose by 10% to $6,274 million.
Revenue growth was spurred on by our Soft Drinks,
Beer and Development Property businesses, which registered
gains of between 13% and 15%.
14

GROUP REVENUE ROSE BY 10% TO
GROUP PBIT INCREASED 8% TO
$6,274M
$1,152M
Group Profit before Interest and Taxation, fair value

adjustment of investment properties and exceptional items
(PBIT) was 8% higher, at $1,152 million in FY2011.
This figure represents seven consecutive years of
improvement at the operating level. Our Soft Drinks
and Beer businesses were the primary contributors to
the growth of Group PBIT in FY2011.
Within our Printing & Publishing business (P&P), PBIT from

the underlying operations (excluding results of associated
companies) rebounded by 19%. Printing staged a recovery
in volume and margin whilst Education Publishing benefited
from its export momentum, which is gaining traction.
Group Attributable Profit before fair value adjustment of

investment properties, exceptional items and discontinued
operations was 6% higher, at $621 million.
Net asset value rose 11% to $4.88 per share by the end of
FY2011.
Group gearing improved to 0.31x from 0.41x in FY2010.
Interest coverage ratio was also better at 21.4x versus 17.2x
in the prior year. Average debt maturity period was extended
to 3.4 years (from 3.3 years). The average cost of Group
debt was 3.23% (versus 3.34% in FY2010). During the year
the Group expanded its source of external funding by issuing
$300 million of fixed rate bonds to retail and institutional
investors. These fixed rate bonds are listed on the SGX.
Our CEOs review of the performance and growth strategies
of our core businesses are contained in Pages 30 to 64.
In general, our Food & Beverage (F&B) business achieved
sterling results, with robust PBIT improvements from Soft
Drinks (up 38%) and Beer (up 23%) more than offsetting
the weakness from Dairies (down 48%), which was hit by
higher raw material prices.
Our Properties business delivered creditable results against
a backdrop of economic uncertainties and measures to
dampen property speculation in Singapore and China.
PBIT was 3% lower due to lower contribution from
Investment Properties following the sale of Northpoint
Extension and YewTee Point to Frasers Centrepoint Trust
(FCT) in February 2010 and a decline in development
profit from China and an absence of a one-off gain recorded
in FY2010.
Dividends
The Board recommends a final ordinary dividend of 12.0 cents
per share. If approved by shareholders, the total distribution
for the year will be 18.0 cents per share, representing an
increase of 6% over FY2010 and the highest dividend paid
by the Company to date.
Our policy is to pay up to 50% of Group Attributable Profit
before fair value adjustment of investment properties and
exceptional items. The total dividend of 18.0 cents is 41%
of this figure.
Shareholders will be happy to note that an investment in the
shares of F&NL made 5 years ago would have yielded a return
(including dividends) of about 55%.
Strategic Developments
In FY2011, we continued to prune operations in our relentless
drive to sharpen our strategic focus, manage our risks and
reallocate resources to markets and businesses with better
prospects. Although acquisitions and divestments were not as
significant as the transformational changes I described in my
FY2010 Statement, they were nonetheless important strides
in the right direction.
Within our F&B business, we worked with our partner,
Heineken NV, and our joint-controlled listed entity, Asia Pacific
Breweries Limited (APBL), to review our China strategy.
The outcome was a decision to exit the unprofitable
mainstream beer market, focus on building sustainable
positions for Heineken and Tiger, retain our purpose-built
STR3NGTH
breweries in Hainan and Guangzhou, and expand the capacity

of the latter to brew our premium brands. To this end,
the Group sold its stake in Kingway Brewery in May 2011
and an agreement (subject to regulatory approval) was signed
in July 2011 to also divest the Groups brewery in Shanghai
and its interests in Jiangsu Dafuhao Breweries Co., Ltd.
The companies in Indonesia and New Caledonia that
APBL acquired from Heineken NV in February 2010 have
been seamlessly integrated. Contributions from these two
companies and Solomon Breweries (purchased in June 2011)
combined with favourable across-the-board performance
(particularly in Vietnam and Papua New Guinea) boosted
APBLs profit to an all-time high in FY2011.
Our Soft Drinks business ended FY2011 on a celebratory
note following the expiry of our transition agreements with
The Coca-Cola Company on 30 September 2011. We have
regained full control of our Soft Drinks business in Singapore
and are now free to realise the full potential of our in-house
brands.
Over the past year, the Group mustered its resources and
successfully propelled the sales of F&N, 100PLUS and F&N
SEASONS in our traditional and new markets. Several new
products were launched but there are more consumer-focused
innovations in our pipeline for the Singapore and Malaysian
markets. In FY2011, we also launched 100PLUS in Thailand
and Indonesia.
We decided to exit the Dairies market in China after taking
into account the risk in that market and our inability to
establish a competitive foothold. We completed our exit
in November 2011 with the divestment of our 29.5% stake
in China Dairy Group. Our immediate focus will be on our
canned milk business in Thailand and Malaysia, which were
to have been supported by our new dairy plants in Rojana
and Pulau Indah respectively.
15
However, massive flooding in Thailand caused the stoppage

of work at our Rojana plant on 11 October 2011. The plant
was underwater for several weeks. It is currently estimated
that production can commence approximately 3 to 5 months
after flood waters subside. The Group will ship products from
its existing Petaling Jaya plant (in Malaysia) and its outsourced
manufacturing locations, and will also fast track the start-up
of the Pulau Indah plant to meet the demands of the Thai
market. Meanwhile, work is underway with the insurer and
loss adjusters to file claims under the Groups Property All Risk
and Business Interruption Insurance policies.
We formed F&N Creameries in February 2011 in a move
to scale up our ice cream business and achieve integration
synergies from a merger of the Groups operations in Kings
Creameries (S) Pte Ltd (acquired in December 2010) and our
long established ice cream businesses in Malaysia, Thailand
and Singapore.
In our Development Property business, our strategy to bid
cautiously for State-owned sites for mass-market housing in
Singapore has given us a comparatively low-cost land bank in
a segment where demand remains resilient despite four rounds
of anti-speculation measures imposed by the Government in
September 2009, February 2010, August 2010 and January
2011. Our property arm, Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL),
won five residential land tenders in FY2011 (some via joint
ventures). Our move to step up the pace of joint ventures in
our Development Property business has enabled us to phase
our participation over a range of major projects, tap on our
partners expertise and resources and limit our exposure to
any single project.
At the end of FY2011, FCL had a land bank in Singapore
that can yield about 1,530 apartment units (our share) for
sale over the next one to two years. FCL launched five massmarket projects for sale in FY2011 (some via joint ventures),
and together with previously launched projects, sold 1,436
units (our share) during the course of the year.
16
FCL has a joint venture with Ascendas Land to develop

an integrated business park with retail and hotel elements
(total GFA of 1.26 million sqf) on a 4.7 hectare site at Changi
Business Park. Changi City Point was opened for trading in
November 2011. This is the tenth mall to be managed by FCL
in Singapore and is conveniently located next to the Expo
MRT Station. When the hotel and business park components
are completed in late 2012, they will be managed by FCLs
Hospitality division and Ascendas, respectively.
FCL is currently also developing a retail and residential
development (total GFA of 1.36 million sqf) in Punggol Central
in partnership with Far East Organisation and Sekisui House.
Watertown, a waterfront development (about 930 apartments)
will be launched in FY2012. Waterway Point mall is expected
to be open for trading by 2016 and will be managed by FCL.
In November 2011, the Group announced the formation
of a joint venture between FCL and Fraser & Neave Holdings
Bhd (F&NHB) to develop two land parcels in Petaling
Jaya currently occupied by our dairies operations, which will
be relocated to the Pulau Indah plant. Completion of this
transaction is conditional upon, amongst other things,
the approval of F&NHB shareholders being obtained. The Group
proposes to build a mixed development, comprising hotels,
offices, a shopping mall, as well as retail and residential
properties.
We benefited from an early decision to scale back on Property
Development activities in UK as well as a completion of a
corporate and debt restructuring exercise in that market in
December 2010. In China, we had opted to hold back on
further acquisitions of sites after 2007 having built up sizeable
and well-located land banks. Our focus on a staggered
development of these land banks in China will continue to
underpin earnings over the next few years. At the end of
FY2011, our remaining land bank in China can yield about
8,200 residential units. In Australia, we sold a 50% stake
in our $2 billion Central Park mixed development project to
Sekisui House in July 2011. This prudent move enabled us

to lock-in attributable net profit of about $80 million, of which
$40 million was recognised in FY2011, with the remaining
to be recognised towards the end of the project.
Our Hospitality division opened ten new properties and
won management contracts for another ten new properties.
We invested $78 million to acquire serviced apartment
developments in Indonesia (Fraser Residence Jakarta) and
Australia (Fraser Place Melbourne) and the remaining 35%
stake in Fairdace Limited (which owns Fraser Place Canary
Wharf and Fraser Suites Glasgow). At the end of FY2011,
our Hospitality division had about 7,100 apartments under
management, with signed management contracts for another
5,400 apartments currently under construction.
Our two SGX-listed REIT vehicles enhanced the quality of their
portfolios during the year under review. Frasers Commercial
Trust (FCOT) successfully divested its under-performing
legacy assets, Cosmos Plaza (in January 2011) and a 39%
stake in Australian Wholesale Property Fund (in May 2011).
In September 2011, FCT completed the acquisition of Bedok
Point mall from FCL. FCTs acquisition was partly financed
by a placement of new units. This improved the free float
of FCT units and reduced FCLs interest in FCT to about
41%. In November 2011, FCOT successfully completed an
early refinancing of its AUD loan to extend its debt maturity
profile and also take advantage of the lower interest rate
environment.
In our P&P business, operations at three unprofitable printing
plants in China were halted. Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Times Publishing Limited (TPL), successfully divested its stake
in Shenyang Times Packaging Printing Co Ltd in September
2011. TPL is working towards a divestment and liquidation of
its remaining printing joint ventures in Liaoning and Shanghai.
TPLs Education Publishing division continues to make
promising inroads into international markets, creating growing
awareness for our Marshall Cavendish brand.

Looking Ahead
Acknowledgements
In view of the precarious state of the global economy,

the Group continues to make preparations in case of a severe
economic downturn and a tightening of credit in our markets.
With undrawn facilities of $3.2 billion at end FY2011, we are
also positioning ourselves to seize opportunities that might
arise in the year ahead. Based on our past experience,
the Groups diversified operations and strong market positions,
particularly its robust cashflows from its resilient F&B and
Commercial Property businesses, will provide some cushion
in difficult times.
I want to thank Management and Staff for the important part

they have played in enabling the Group to achieve its best set
of financial results.
Board and Management Changes

Mr Seek Ngee Huat joined our Board on 26 September 2011.
We are fortunate to have secured his service as he brings a
wealth of experience in the Properties business, both locally
and internationally.
Mr Koh Poh Tiong, our former CEO-F&B, left the Company
on 30 September 2011 with our best wishes and appreciation
for his contributions. During his 26 years of service with the
Group, Poh Tiong was instrumental in growing our regional
beer operations (under APBL) and, more recently, planting
the seeds of our soft drinks expansion.
After a rigorous region-wide search and as part of a planned
succession, we appointed Mr Pascal De Petrini to take over as
CEO-F&B with effect from 1 October 2011. He joins us from
the Danone Group and we are pleased that he has accepted
the challenge of taking our F&B business to greater heights.
I also thank all my colleagues on the Board for their spirited

participation in our discussions on the strategic direction of the
Group. The Boards collective wisdom and expertise, as well as
its active engagement with management have paved the way
for swift and decisive responses to key issues at a time when
agility is of utmost importance.
I place on record our gratitude to Heineken NV for their
invaluable contributions to our partnership in APBL since 1931.
The Boards of our listed entities, F&NHB, APBL, FCT, FCOT
and Frasers Property (China) Limited have been fine stewards.
I want to thank them for their continued support in the
creation of solid foundations for sustainable profit growth for
all stakeholders.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all shareholders for
your support.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

FOOD & BEVERAGE
PASCAL DE PETRINI CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Revenue increased 12% to
$3,689M
Business Overview
The Food & Beverage (F&B) division continued to deliver
solid performance, backed by strong double-digit revenue and
profit growth in Soft Drinks and Beer. This year, F&B revenue
recorded a growth of 12%, to $3,689 million. Coupled with
better margins from favourable product mix and improved
operating efficiencies, our earnings grew 14% to $522 million,
despite high input cost. This marked our third consecutive year
of profit growth.
Lifted by 15% growth in beer sales across most markets
and improved margins, Beers FY2011 earnings leapt 23%
to $372 million. At Non-Beer, which comprises Soft Drinks
and Dairies, despite an 8% improvement in revenue, PBIT was
down 2% due to lower earnings from Dairies Malaysia.
Soft Drinks earnings surged 38% to $113 million, buoyed by
strong 13% top-line growth, favourable sales mix and
improvements in operational efficiency. Profitability of Dairies
was weighed down by high input costs, particularly in Malaysia.
Consequently, Dairies saw a 48% decline in earnings,
to $37 million. Notwithstanding the weaker performance
from Dairies, F&B continued to make good progress in its
contribution to Groups earnings. This year, we accounted for
45% of Group PBIT, up from 43% in FY2010, an affirmation
our growth strategies, strength of our brands and capabilities
of our people.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

FOOD & BEVERAGE
NON-BEER: Gearing up for growth

Setting our sights firmly on the long-term success of the
business, we continued to lay the foundations for future
growth of our Non-Beer business with several strategic
activities.
This year, we had been gearing up towards a new milestone
for Soft Drinks the expiry of the licensing agreement with
The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) in September 2011.
With the end of the partnership with TCCC in Singapore,
all our soft drinks brands returned home to our growing stable
of brands. From 1 October 2011, we regained control of all
aspects of our Soft Drinks business in Singapore, ranging
from manufacturing and marketing to sales and distribution.
In Malaysia, we ceased to be the bottler for TCCC. In Singapore,
we have appointed our wholly-owned subsidiary, F&N Foods
Pte Ltd, to be the sole distributor for all F&N beverages locally.
With this, we would receive 100% of the income from
the sales and distribution of our beverages in Singapore.
Our Bursa-listed Malaysian subsidiary, Fraser & Neave Holdings
Bhd, would continue to cover Malaysia as well as Brunei.
To further prepare ourselves for this milestone development,
we had taken steps to widen and deepen distribution to
ensure widest availability of our products. Marketing and sales
activities were also ramped up while upholding a high level
of service quality to all our partners and consumers.
With the Soft Drinks homecoming, we accelerated the
introduction of new products that embrace F&Ns philosophy
of Pure Enjoyment. Pure Goodness. For the year in review,
we rolled out ZESTA, a refreshing sparkling drink with the
unique taste of the guarana berry, as well as a reduced
sugar range of F&N Sparkling Drinks in 500ml PET bottles.
More recently, we rolled out 100PLUS EDGE, a non-carbonated
version of our flagship brand 100PLUS, and a refreshing
lemon-lime flavoured sparkling drink, F&N CLEARLY CITRUS.
Plans are in place to introduce more new beverages to our
consumers, and to drive differentiated products across our
Soft Drinks portfolio.
To gain greater efficiencies, we invested in and installed

two new Tetra Pak lines at the existing Soft Drinks plants in
Malaysia. A new PET production line was also commissioned
this year in Malaysia. This high-tech line will boost our
carbonated soft drinks (CSD) PET bottle output by 30% per
day, to 672,000 bottles. One of the fastest production lines in
the region, this line will also improve operational efficiencies
and enhance green capacity by undertaking the entire
production of CSD PET bottled products while minimising
wastages.
Another investment that underscores our commitment towards
future growth is the new state-of-the-art dairy plant in Pulau
Indah, Malaysia. Featuring cutting-edge green technology
that will minimise carbon footprint through the incorporation
of water, energy and environmental conservation technology,
this new canned milk plant, which will commence commercial
production in early-2012, is replicated from the blueprint of
our first greenfield plant in Rojana Industrial Park, Thailand.
The plants strategic location within the Selangor Halal Hub
would enable us to fortify our presence in the regions
fast-growing Halal markets.
Following the acquisition of Kings Creameries (S) Pte Ltd, the
new ice cream division, F&N Creameries, was formed in February
2011 to consolidate and integrate the management and
operations of our ice cream business in Singapore, Malaysia and
Thailand. The exercise was successfully completed in June 2011.
This new division will spearhead our strategy to scale up and
strengthen our ice cream business, with an ambition to become
a leading ice cream player in the growth markets of ASEAN.
We aim to achieve this by leveraging our well-established brands
such as F&N MAGNOLIA and introducing new products which
tap into unmet consumer needs. Consumers in Singapore,
Malaysia and Thailand can look forward to more exciting new
product launches and activities as exemplified by the launch
of F&N MAGNOLIA Sherbet in Singapore in August. Moving
forward, we would be able to extract synergies and offer a
complementary portfolio of brands and products to satisfy
a diversity of consumer segments.
As part of our efforts to streamline the Non-Beer portfolio,
we divested our entire 29.5% stake in China Dairy Group
Ltd for around $38 million in November 2011, to realise
an exceptional gain of $18 million.

FOOD & BEVERAGE
Soft Drinks
Sparkling success
Soft Drinks continued to achieve good growth with market
share gains. Revenue jumped 13% to $759 million and PBIT
grew 38%, to $113 million, on higher volume, favourable
product mix and improvements in operational efficiency.
The robust performance was driven by volume growth from
our core brands, 100PLUS and F&N SEASONS, supported by
the launch of new flavours and effective marketing activities.
Outdo Yourself
Dedicated to promoting an active lifestyle and healthy living,
100PLUS is the isotonic drink of choice at major sporting
events. Since its launch in 1983, 100PLUS has established
itself as the essential hydrating source for millions of people
daily, consistently encouraging consumers and athletes alike
to Outdo Yourself.
As the leading ready-to-drink beverage in Malaysia, 100PLUS

was present at top sporting events such as the popular
football tournament, Piala Malaysia Finals 2011, the prestigious
hockey competition, 100PLUS Tun Abdul Razak Cup and the
KL Marathon 2011. In Singapore, 100PLUS made its presence
felt in school tournaments, major runs and international
sporting events spanning marathons, triathlons and golf.
In January 2011, 100PLUS became the proud sponsor
of Singapores outstanding national table tennis teams.
The 100PLUS official isotonic drink sponsorship of $750,000
over three years to the National Table Tennis men and
womens teams was the largest sponsorship received by
the Singapore Table Tennis Association then.
100PLUS also continued to present the The Straits Times Star
of the Month and The Straits Times Athlete of the Year awards,
which gave due recognition to Singapore athletes who have
inspired with their determination to excel and brought honour
to their sport.

Refreshingly popular
Spreading delights
The F&N SEASONS portfolio continued to be a popular choice

with consumers for healthier and great tasting beverages.
Trusted and loved by generations of Singaporeans and

Malaysians, F&N Sparkling Drinks is well-known for its
bold, vibrant and fun-tasting range of drinks that has built
connections with its young consumers.
Following the successful launch of the F&N SEASONS green

tea and fruit tea range last year, four tea variants - Jasmine
Green Tea, Ice Lemon Green Tea, Ice Peach Tea and Ice Apple
Tea - are now available in convenient PET bottles in Malaysia
for consumers who are frequently on-the-go. Supported by
integrated marketing campaigns and sampling activities that
successfully drove brand awareness and sales, F&N SEASONS
saw substantial market share gains to become the Number 1
ready-to-drink tea beverage in Malaysia.
A highlight in the fun-packed activity calendar for F&N

Sparkling Drinks was the second edition of Singapore Dance
Delight, the local leg of the international street dance
competition held in Osaka, Japan. This is the second year that
F&N Sparkling Drinks has supported youth culture, showcasing
the talents of street dancers from Singapore and the region.
In Malaysia, F&N Sparkling Drinks entertained its young
consumers with The F&N Big Fun Fest, a youth extravaganza
aimed at spreading cheer to young consumers. 20,000 youths
gathered at the heart of Kuala Lumpurs vibrant shopping
district and enjoyed street art demonstrations, dances,
customised t-shirt designing and performances by popular
artistes.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

FOOD & BEVERAGE
Dairies
Maintained leadership positions
Dairies revenue improved 5% to $1,067 million, due mainly
to volume growth in Thailand and the rest of the Indochina
region. However, rising input costs adversely affected Dairies
profits and margins. Despite price increases, Dairies PBIT fell
48% to $37 million.
Notwithstanding the drop in profits, our canned milk portfolio
continued to command more than 60% of the combined
sweetened condensed and evaporated milk market share
in Malaysia.
In Thailand, volume jumped 9% and we maintained leadership
positions in our canned milk and liquid milk portfolio.
The various brand campaigns were well-received by consumers
and upped visibility as well as awareness of our brands.
While the year under review was challenging for Dairies,
we remained focused on driving organic growth in key markets
of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, while cultivating new
markets in ASEAN to grow our Dairies business. This year,
we made significant inroads into the rest of the Indochina
market to strengthen our position as the leading dairy player
in this region.

BEER: Growing from strength to strength
SOUTH & SOUTH EAST ASIA (Singapore, Malaysia,

Indonesia, Sri Lanka and export markets)
As testament to the Groups achievements in regionalisation

and portfolio management, Beers growth momentum
continued unabated. Supported by 31 brewery operations in
15 countries1, in FY2011, it remained a top revenue contributor
to the F&B business.
Volume and PBIT for South and South East Asia rose 20%
and 30% respectively, supported mainly by the acquired
breweries in Indonesia in February 2010. On a comparable
basis, excluding the results from Indonesia from October 2010
to January 2011, PBIT improved 6%, driven by higher volumes
in all markets and improved margins in Indonesia.
Boosted by contributions from the newly acquired breweries

in Indonesia, New Caledonia and Solomon Islands, and strong
organic growth in most markets, revenue rose 15% to $1,864
million. PBIT grew to $372 million, up 23% from the previous
year, due to better margins from price increases, improved
sales mix and lower overheads.
The Group, mainly through its stake in Asia Pacific Breweries
Limited (APB), remains as Asia Pacifics leading brewer
with an unparalleled footprint of 31 breweries spanning
15 countries1 and offers a winning portfolio of over 40 beer
brands targeted at a wide spectrum of consumers. The Group
aims to further expand its network and strengthen its presence
through continued investment in brands, strategic investments
and deeper market penetration throughout the region.
Singapore continued to report stable earnings with marginally

higher volume. Our local brand portfolio was enhanced with
the addition of Tiger Crystal. The Group further strengthened
Tigers brand equity and association with football by launching
the regional Tiger Street Football tournament and continuing
to support the Barclays Premier League 2010/2011 season as
the official broadcast sponsor.
OTHER ASEAN (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and
Vietnam)
This region remained the largest contributor to Beers earnings,
accounting for 53% of its PBIT. Strong consumer demand,
particularly in Vietnam, led to an overall volume gain of 17%
for the region. PBIT increased 18% to $198 million, negated by
an 18% devaluation in the Vietnamese Dong. Excluding this
translation losses, PBIT grew 35%.
Profitability in Vietnam improved on the back of higher volume
and improved margins from price increases. Premium brands
Tiger and Heineken, as well as Larue all enjoyed significant
increase in demand.
1 On 13th July 2011, Asia Pacific Breweries, together with Asia Pacific Investment Pte Ltd, announced that it would be divesting its stakes in Jiangsu Dafuhao Breweries Co. Ltd
and Shanghai Brewery Co. Ltd for RMB870 million. Upon completion, the Group will have approximately 25 breweries in 15 countries.

OCEANIA (Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia,

New Zealand and Solomon Islands)
Higher volume, favourable sales mix and improved margins
in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and New Zealand, further lifted
by strong contributions from the newly acquired breweries
in New Caledonia in February 2010 and Solomon Islands in
June 2011, helped boost beer sales for the Oceania region
to $493 million, an increase of over 20% from the previous
year. Volume and earnings grew 11% and 41% respectively.
Excluding the contributions from Solomon Islands and New
Caledonia from October 2010 to January 2011, PBIT gained 34%.
Favourable economic conditions boosted SP Lager and South
Pacific Export Lager sales volume. Through successful brand
building efforts, SP Lager is associated with the Rugby League
and the national team, while South Pacific Export Lager is a
sponsor of the Export PNG Open golf tournament.
NORTH ASIA (China and Mongolia)
The Group remains committed to our participation in the
Chinese beer market. Forging ahead with our premium brand
strategy through our quality offerings, Tiger and Heineken,
stakes in Kingway Brewery were divested this financial year,
realising an exceptional income of $33 million. We have
also entered into agreements to divest our stakes in Jiangsu
Dafuhao Breweries and Shanghai Asia Pacific Brewery.
BEER: Investing for the future

Vietnam
The Group has expanded total brewing capacity in Vietnam
by a further 25% through investments in our breweries in
Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Danang to meet the anticipated
growth in demand for key brands, Tiger, Heineken and Larue.
Already the largest brewery in Vietnam and the Group,

the Ho Chi Minh City brewery increased production capacity
from 2.8 million hectolitres to 4.2 million hectolitres.
The multi-phase enhancement programme included a second
canning line that produces up to 90,000 cans per hour,
fermentation facilities, malt silos, waste water treatment
plant, a brew house upgrade and warehouse extension.
Also to complete by end-2011 are the production capacity
enhancements in the Hanoi and Danang breweries to 875,000
hectolitres and 1 million hectolitres respectively.
China
The $80-million greenfield brewery in Guangzhou which
officially opened in May 2011 further consolidates the
Groups presence in South China, where we also have a
brewery operation in Hainan. To fulfill growing demand for
Tiger and Heineken and to ensure the supply of premium
beers nationwide, production capacities of the Hainan and
Guangzhou breweries will be expanded to 2 million hectolitres
and 1.5 million hectolitres, marking a 33% and 50% increase
in respective capacities.
Mongolia
The annual production capacity of our brewery in Mongolia
has been increased to 300,000 hectolitres to cater to volume
increase and growth potential.
Solomon Islands
The Groups presence in the Oceania region has been
strengthened with the addition of Solomon Breweries, the only
brewery in Solomon Islands. Through APBs 98% stake,
the Group assumes leadership position in the country through
Solomon Breweries, which has a robust distribution network,
goodwill and is synonymous with leading brands, SB and
Solbrew Lager that enjoy extensive penetration in the market.
STR3NGTH
Looking Ahead to FY2012

Despite current global economic headwinds, we will remain
focused on our vision to become a leading F&B player in the
Asia Pacific. We will drive the regionalisation of Beer, Dairies,
Ice Cream and Soft Drinks, and will continuously strengthen
our portfolio of brands as well as enhance our operating
efficiency.
Our initiatives translate into lasting competitive advantage that
will weather ever-changing economic conditions. Consumerfocused innovation will continue to be pursued. We seek to
retain our leadership across key market segments and build
interest in new ones. It is also important for us to improve
route-to-market, widening and deepening our distribution
capability and upgrading service levels. We want to ensure
that on-ground execution will be at its most effective for us
to enjoy maximum results from our marketing efforts.
I am confident that by keeping firmly aligned to these strategic
priorities, we will be able to ride through the challenges.
Ultimately, we want to be well-positioned to seize growth
opportunities and to strengthen our presence in the region.
We aim to stay ahead of the curve in the year ahead and
continue delivering strong performance and results.

Business Overview
We are pleased to report yet another strong performance

considerable 11% to $2,128 million, as compared with $1,915
million last year. This strong growth was underpinned by
pre-sold and newly launched residential properties, asset
sales and newly-opened serviced residences in Singapore and
overseas. Earnings, however, slipped 3% to $569 million due
to lower contribution from Commercial Property and decline
in profit from China development property as a result of the
completion of residential projects and an absence of one-off
gain recorded last year.
Development Property, despite lower progressive income
recognition from China, maintained its solid performance from
last year. This year, we launched eight residential projects and
sold more than 3,200 units in our key markets. We also picked
up five sites to add to our Singapore land bank. In addition,
we divested another Singapore retail mall, Bedok Point,
to Frasers Centrepoint Trust, following the divestment of
two retail malls last year. To accelerate the development
and realisation of the value of our key Australian asset,
we partnered Sekisui House to jointly develop the majority
of Central Park, a six-hectare site in central Sydney, Australia.
In Commercial Property, strong occupancies and higher rentals
from most of the properties were sustained. At Hospitality,
our global expansion efforts continued with the opening of
10 new properties and securing 10 new management contracts.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

PROPERTIES
Market Review
Development Property
Amidst a mounting European credit crisis, growth has

moderated in Asia, whilst recovery in the US and Europe has
remained uncertain and sluggish.
Singapore, our key market
Despite uncertainty in the market, the number of new

private residential units sold in Singapore hit 14,000 in the
first 10 months of 2011. In December 2011, the government
introduced further cooling measures for the residential market,
to moderate investment demand amidst a low interest rate
environment and abundant external liquidity. While the Group
believes that these new measures would affect primarily the
high-end segment, it would also have an impact on the other
segments in the near term.
In Commercial, the office market cooled further in 3Q2011
as global economic uncertainty impacted on occupiers
expansion plans. Office rents in the central business district
(CBD) and average rentals for private industrial space
remained largely unchanged as leasing demand slowed.
The overall vacancy rate in 3Q2011 increased to 6.5%,
up from 6.0% in 2Q2011.
On the retail front, the outlook is slightly more upbeat.
Retail rents in Orchard Road increased 0.5% quarter-onquarter in 3Q2011 due to limited supply. Demand for space
in suburban malls, particularly in HDB town centres that serve
large catchment areas, remains strong.
Demand for serviced apartments in Singapore has gone up
as more multi-nationals choose to base their operations here.
Most serviced apartment operators have seen their monthly
occupancy rates increase to 95%, as compared to average
rates of between 70% and 80% last year.
Singapore continued to be a key market for the Group.

This year, we remained focused on efficient capital recycling
through successful and timely residential launches,
and selective land bank replenishment.
Timely launches and completion of projects
This year, the Group rolled out five new projects with 2,760
units1 in Singapore. We were the first developer in Singapore
to launch an executive condominium2 (EC) five years after
the last EC launch in 2005. The well-timed launch of 573-unit
Esparina Residences in October 2010 attracted strong interest.
As at the end of this financial year, 99% of this project
was sold. Other successful launches included the 563-unit
Waterfront Isle (the final phase of The Waterfront Collection)
in January, the 656-unit Eight Courtyards in April, the 474-unit
Seastrand in June and the 494-unit Boathouse Residences in
August 2011. Eight Courtyards and Seastrand registered strong
sales of 79% and 58% respectively. Boathouse Residences also
did well with 46% of the development sold within weeks of
the launch. Including units from previously launched projects,
we sold 2,435 units3 in Singapore this year.
This year, the Group also saw the completion of a number of
residential projects in Singapore - the 417-unit Soleil@Sinaran,
the 302-unit Martin Place Residences, the 110-unit Woodsville
28 and the 405-unit Waterfront Waves.
Land bank replenishment and cost management
The Group continued to tap the Government Land Sales
programme and remained disciplined in pricing land bids.
This year, we successfully tendered for four residential sites
Pasir Ris Drive at $335psf4 , the Upper Serangoon View
site5 near Hougang Central at $320psf, Punggol Field EC
site at $270psf and the Flora Drive site at $325psf and one
mixed-use development site in the up-and coming new town,
Punggol Central. These acquisitions have added about 3,050
units6 to our land bank.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

PROPERTIES
As part of the Groups capital management efforts,

we entered into joint ventures for several key acquisitions
this year, including the $1-billion Punggol Central mixeduse development site, the Pasir Ris Drive site and the Upper
Serangoon View site.
Acquired in March 2011, the 1.4 million-sqf Punggol Central
site, located at the newly opened Punggol Waterway, will be
developed into an iconic waterfront development comprising
about 930 residential units, Watertown, and a 370,000-sqf
retail mall, Waterway Point. Watertown will be ready for
launch in 1Q2012.
Another discipline that the Group adopts is the fast turnaround
of Singapore land bank. This quick turnaround strategy
allows us to maximise asset turnover and unlock land bank
value. Launched within nine months after acquisitions,
Eight Courtyards at Yishun was launched for sale at an
average selling price of $800psf, while Seastrand at Pasir Ris
Drive and Boathouse Residences at Upper Serangoon View
were launched at an average selling price of $900psf.
The remaining two sites at Punggol Field and Flora Drive,
which were acquired in mid-2011, are expected to launch
by 1Q2012.
Overseas - Delivering our overseas pipeline

Our focus on quick asset turnaround remains the same
for our overseas markets. Riding on sustained demand for
quality homes, we sold about 800 units in our key markets
of Australia and China this year. Led by good sales from three
new launches and previously launched projects, the Group
recorded sales of 469 units in Australia. In China, although
we did not release any new projects for sale this year,
we benefited from sales of previously launched projects such
as phase 1 of Baitang One and Shanshui Four Seasons. In total,
329 units were sold in China.
Stable sales in Australia
Residential sales in Australia were healthy with a total of
469 units sold. The Group successfully launched the first two
residential phases of the Central Park project, One Central Park
(OCP) and Park Lane. Since its official launch in October
2010, another 245 units of OCP have been sold, bringing total
sales to 495 units (79%), at an average price of A$1,180psf
as at the end of September 2011. Hot on the heels of OCPs
successful launch, 385 units of Park Lane, which comprises
777 units, was soft launched for sale in June. With units priced
between A$505,000 and A$1.2 million, as at end September
2011, a total of 97 units (26%) have been sold at an average
of A$1,260psf.
47
STR3NGTH
From left to right: Seastrand, Boathouse, Central Park
The year also saw the soft launch of 265-unit QIII, the first
residential phase of the Queens Riverside project in East
Perth. Strategically located along the Swan River and within
the East Perth Riverside redevelopment precinct, Queens
Riverside is a 15,300-sqm mixed-use development comprising
337 residences (combined total of QI, QII and QIII) and a
184-key, all-suite serviced apartment, Fraser Suites Perth.
With units priced between A$340,000 and A$3.9 million,
a total of 55 residential units (26%) were sold at an average
price of A$725psf, before the public launch in October 2011.
Intensifying capital recycling efforts
During the year, the Group welcomed Sekisui Holdings, Ltd
(Sekisui) as a partner to jointly develop the majority of the
mixed-use Central Park project in central Sydney, Australia,
with the Group being retained as project manager for the
development. The Group divested the 50% stake for A$230
million and realised a gain of about $40 million. The combined
resources and unique strengths of F&N and Sekisui will enable
us to accelerate the development and realisation of the value
of this six-hectare site. Besides early recycling of the Groups
capital ahead of project completion, this move also provides
us the added financial flexibility to intensify the recycling
of our remaining Australian inventory and to seek other
opportunities.
Upcoming launch of Putney Hill

The Group acquired a 13.7 hectare site in the Sydney suburb
of Ryde in June 2010, to be marketed as Putney Hill. This will
be our first offering of low density housing in Sydney.
The mix of low-density, semi-detached houses, bungalows
and medium-density apartments totals 791 units. Sales launch
is scheduled in November 2011.
Stable demand in China
In China, the Group benefited from the sale of previously
launched phases of Shanshui Four Seasons and Baitang One.
Phase 1 of Shanshui, which features 418 units of 3-storey
landed terrace and semi-detached villas, was completed in
2009 with 415 units (99%) sold at an average selling price
of RMB13,660 per square metre (psm). Phase 2 is targeted
to launch in 2Q2012.
The Groups other residential development project in China,
Baitang One is located on the east of the largest lake (Jinji Hu)
in Suzhou Industrial Park, also known as Suzhous new CBD.
Located in close proximity to the Nanjie and Xing Tang Jie light
rail stations, this development yields a gross floor area of more
than 550,000 square metres, and comprises 3,900 high-rise
condominium units, multi-storey houses and townhouses
for launch over six years. Phase 1 with 968 units of low-rise
apartments and terrace houses was launched for sale last
year. A total of 821 units (85%) have been sold to date at
an average selling price of about RMB13,500psm. The Group
is preparing to launch phase 2 with 898 units of high-rise
condominium and terrace houses in FY2012.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

PROPERTIES
Commercial Property
The Group has a global portfolio of 27 investment properties
diversified across retail malls, office towers, business parks
and two real estate investment trusts (REIT) namely Frasers
Centrepoint Trust (FCT), our 41%-held retail REIT,
and Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT), our 26%-held office
and business park REIT.
Delivering growth through active portfolio management
Attributable profit from Commercial Property grew 14%
to $112 million. This strong performance was achieved due
to our proactive management of the portfolio to improve
revenue and operational efficiency. This double-digit earnings
improvement was achieved despite further dilution of the
Groups stake in FCT this year. Subsequent to the sale of
two retail assets to FCT in February 2010 and another retail
mall in September 2011, the Groups interest in FCT is about
41%, down from 51%. Consequently, the Group no longer
consolidates FCTs results.
Bedok Point
Following the successful divestment of Northpoint extension

and YewTee Point in February 2010 to FCT, the Group sold
its newly completed mall, Bedok Point, to FCT for $127
million in September 2011. Bedok Point was completed in
November 2010. This divestment allowed the Group to use the
resources released from the asset sale to add properties while
maximising total returns from development gains, property
yield and management fees. To part-finance the acquisition
of Bedok Point, FCT placed out 48 million new units at
$1.39 per share (which was at the top-end of the price range
for the placement). The Group chose not to subscribe to the
new units, thus allowing our unitholding to be reduced to
41%, from 43%.
FCT delivered strong growth on all fronts in FY2011, on the
back of a strong 4QFY2011 performance from Causeway
Point, healthy occupancy and higher rental reversions for
FCTs overall portfolio. Consequently, FCT delivered a record
distribution per unit (DPU) of 8.32 cents, its fifth consecutive
year of DPU growth since listing.
51
STR3NGTH
From left to right: Alexandra Technopark, China Square Central
Unlocking value through asset enhancements

We continued our efforts on asset enhancement works so as
to optimise return to Unitholders. This year, our seven-storey
shopping complex, Causeway Point, ended FY2011 with good
rental reversions and occupancy surged to 92%, from a
trough of 69% in 2QFY2011, after having gone through the most
intensive period of enhancement works. Once enhancement
works are fully completed in December 2012, Causeway Point
is expected to improve FCTs net property income (NPI) by
22%, to $52 million which translates to a return on investment
of about 13%.
Non-REITed malls enjoyed high occupancy
The Groups non-REITed malls achieved almost full occupancy.
In Singapore, both The Centrepoint and Robertson Walk
maintained an average occupancy rate of 98% and 96%
respectively. Crosspoint in Beijing saw its occupancy increase
to 83% after a successful revamp and repositioning.
Office & Business Park Space

Substantial increase in occupancy
Driven by higher portfolio occupancy and NPI, FCOT achieved
its second consecutive year of growth since completion of the
recapitalisation exercise in 2009. This year, distributable income
to Unitholders grew 5% to $36 million, despite negative rental
reversion in some of our leases.
DPU improved 3% to 5.75 cents. As part of our continuous

efforts to strengthen the portfolio mix, we successfully
divested two non-core assets namely Cosmo Plaza and the
Australian Wholesale Property Fund this year. The divestments
helped FCOT lower its borrowings and consequently its interest
expenses.
Stable performance by non-REITed office and
business space
During the year, the Groups non-REITed office and business
parks in Singapore, China and Vietnam also achieved high
occupancy. In Singapore, the office and industrial properties
enjoyed healthy occupancies of 95% and 96% respectively,
while Me Linh Point in Vietnam was fully-let.
In China, Vision Shenzhen Business Park continued to enjoy full
occupancy. Demand for office space at A-Space in Chengdu
was excellent with all 136 office units now fully sold at an
average selling price of RMB5,370psm. Construction of phase
2 comprising a 63,000-sqm office block will be completed
in 2013.

Market Outlook: Looking ahead

Development - Singapore
External conditions continue to weigh on Singapore. As the Euro
area financial turbulence intensifies and the risk of a renewed
slump in advanced economies rises, we expect property
demand to moderate with prices flattening out. However,
in the longer term, demand will continue to be supported by
steady GDP growth and the low interest rate environment.
Going forward, as we maintain Singapore as our development
base, we will continue to replenish our land bank by
participating in the Government Land Sales programme while
exercising strong discipline in pricing land bids. Our main focus
will be the mass market segment and we will continue to
leverage on joint venture partnerships to develop projects in
strategic locations.
In the new year, we look forward to the launch of the 432-unit
site in Flora Drive and two projects in Punggol - the 930-unit
Watertown located in Punggol Central and the 728-unit
executive condominium at Punggol Field. With steady
GDP growth, low interest rates, good locational traits and
correct pricing, we expect good demand for these launches.
The successful launch of these sites will underpin the Groups
earnings in the future, supported by the $2-billion unrecognised
revenue from pre-sold projects in Singapore and overseas.
Development - Overseas
China
After several rounds of cooling measures and restrictive
policies by the Chinese government to curb spiraling property
prices and speculative buying, sales volume has begun to fall,
with prices remaining flat, or easing slightly.
The Group is expecting challenging times ahead, with liquidity
pressures set to increase over the next six months to one year
due to weakening property sales and tight credit conditions.
In view of this, we will adopt a moderately cautious outlook
on Chinas real estate development sector. The Group will
continue to monitor and assess the market and implement
appropriate sales strategies to market subsequent launches
of Baitang One and Shanshui Four Seasons in Suzhou and
Shanghai respectively.
In keeping with our target to sell an average of 1,000 units in
China, for FY2012, we plan to launch about 900 units from
phase 2 of Baitang One in Suzhou. Comprising 11 high-rise
condominium towers and 68 terrace houses with 150,200-sqm
gross floor area, and given its close proximity to Suzhous
largest lake (Jinji Hu) and Light Rail Transit stations, we expect
this launch to be well-received by buyers.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

PROPERTIES
From left to right: QIII, Changi City Point
Australia
House prices have fallen over 2011. The removal of the first
home owner incentive, a re-tightening of foreign investment
rules and higher interest rates earlier this year have been
the main triggers for a softer Australian property market.
In Sydney, where most of our assets are based, the drop in
house prices was not significant. Looking ahead, the recent
interest rate cuts should help housing affordability. The chronic
housing shortage situation in New South Wales will remain,
if not intensify, in the years ahead.
Since our partnership with Sekisui, the Group has accelerated
the launch and development of the six-hectare Central Park
site in Sydney. The financial resources released from our sale
of the 50% interest in this project has also provided us with
added financial flexibility to intensify the recycling of our
remaining Australian land bank. In FY2012, we will proceed
with the launch of the remaining 400 units of Park Lane.
Leasing of the retail centre at Central Park (scheduled to open
in early-2013) is currently in progress.
We have begun marketing Queens Riverside mixed-use

precinct in Perth. The 184-unit Frasers Suites serviced
apartment building is scheduled for completion in 2012 and
construction is scheduled to commence on the adjacent
265-unit QIII residential block.
In addition, the Group has also advanced the development of
Putney Hill, a 13.7-hectare site in the Sydney suburb of Ryde,
with sales commencing in November 2011 to favourable
demand. Master-planning is also underway on the 4.9 hectare
Morton Street residential development site, located on the
banks of Sydneys Parramatta River. On completion, the site
will have approximately 700 dwellings.

infrastructure, will offer a mix of alfresco dining, waterfront

shopping options and entertainment outlets. Targeted to
open in 2016, Waterway Point is slated to be the first ever
late-night waterfront suburban mall in Singapore.
Going forward, FCT will continue to position itself as a leading
suburban retail mall REIT in Singapore, leveraging on its
strengths and asset enhancement expertise to drive growth
on multiple fronts.
FCOT will stay nimble in the current environment and continue
to implement a proactive leasing strategy to improve the
portfolio occupancy level and rental rates. At the same time,
it will manage the property expenses in view of continuing
pressure on rising operating cost and continue to work
towards early re-financing of the Trusts existing debts which
are due in the early part of FY2013.
Hospitality
We expect demand for serviced residences to remain strong,
especially in Asia.
The Asian economies continue to attract high levels of
foreign direct investment. There is strong demand for
serviced residences in key gateway cities like Singapore,
Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and Beijing where many multinational companies have set up their operations. In this
volatile economic environment, business and leisure travellers
have also recognized that serviced residences offer superior
value and flexibility in lease arrangements.
We will continue to expand by management contracts to tap
on this demand and pursue investment opportunities in key
gateway cities to leverage on our strong global network.

the REITs will also reap the benefits of higher rentals and
capital appreciation.
In Singapore, the Groups pipeline projects include the
208,000-sqf retail space, Changi City Point, located within
Changi City a high quality, integrated development
comprising Changi City Point, a 640,000-sqf business park,

with Ascendas Land, Changi City Point spans three levels
of retail space comprising a mix of factory outlet stores,
F&B outlets, and a 350-seat roof-top amphitheatre for
performance and arts events. More than 90% leased, the mall
opened to the public in November 2011.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

GOH SIK NGEE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Achieved Revenue of
$397M
Business Overview
Times Publishing Group had a strong profit recovery from its
continuing businesses due to the improved performance of
both Education Publishing and Print segments. After including
our share of profits from associates, our overall earnings
declined 5% to $27 million, due largely to a $6 million
restructuring charge by PMP Limited, an associated company
in Australia.
The revenue of the continuing businesses increased by 1%.
However including the discontinued businesses, overall full
year revenue declined 3% to $397 million due largely to the
cessation of printing operations in China, divestment of the
school retail business and unfavourable translation effect.
The Publishing division continued to gain momentum with
its education export strategy especially in its Singapore
Mathematics. We continued to perform well in school
adoptions of education textbooks in overseas markets.
The results affirm our strategy of focusing on growing our
international footprint as we see export overtaking local sales
this year. Our education online business also delivered a
stellar performance in the local school adoption. Our Learning
Management System achieved 70% market share for
the primary schools in Singapore. Our new online math
programme, Math Buddies, is currently being piloted in
schools in the USA, paving way for new revenue potential
for Education Publishing.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

During the year, the Group continued to innovate our products

and services. Riding on the digital opportunities created in the
online space, the group launched NoQ store, an online book
portal targeted at Asia consumers. The Retail division also
launched Times Learning+ which is an enhancement of Times
bookstores to offer education related products for parents
with schooling children.
Marshall Cavendish also continued to be in the limelight in

the export markets with Singapore Mathematics. Discover
Maths was approved by the Department of Education in
South Africa as one of the Mathematics packages for national
adoption. Almost 12,000 potential students will be using
this series of Mathematics materials across key provinces
in South Africa.
The Printing division performed well due to an increase in

printing volume and improved gross margins. Underpinned
by a number of significant wins of new contracts and positive
productivity gains from the implementation of Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) system, we achieved a significant
increase in revenue and profit.
The outstanding success of the 2nd Marshall Cavendish

Singapore Mathematics Global Forum sealed our position
as the publisher of world-acclaimed Singapore Mathematics
materials. The forum provided a platform for educational
policymakers, curriculum specialists, teachers and education
ministry representatives from countries such as the US, Chile,
Panama, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Brunei to share
experiences and exchange ideas on implementing Singapore
Maths in their countries.

Marshall Cavendish Education
Marshall Cavendish Education maintained its strong push into
the international markets, with the US as our largest export
market. The success of Maths in Focus continued its growth
momentum with revenue for this export market doubling
during the year.
Latin America is the next fastest growing market for Marshall
Cavendish Education. Pilot programmes with Chile are in
the pipeline. More than 22,000 students are using Pensar
sin Lmites Matemtica Mtodo Singapur (Spanish edition of
the successful My Pals are Here! Mathematics) as their core
Mathematics curriculum. Marshall Cavendish Education has
also launched the Pensar sin Lmites Ciencias Mtodo Singapur
(Spanish edition of the My Pals are Here! Science International
Edition) to further expand our reach in Latin America.
Visiting dignitaries who attended the in-depth discussions

and learnt the success stories shared by the various countries
included Lucy Molinar, Minister of Education for Panama
and Tim Gopeesingh, Minister of Education for Trinidad
and Tobago.
Marshall Cavendish E-Learning Success
Marshall Cavendish Online (MC Online) was appointed by
the Ministry of Education in Singapore as one of the vendors
for the provision of Learning Management System services for
schools under the Ministry of Education. In 2011, MC Online
commanded a commendable market share of more than 140
schools (more than 200,000 subscribers) in Singapore alone.
70% of the primary schools use the system. The continual
investment in technology and partnership opportunities led to
the development of innovative new products including the LuV
(Learn Using Videos) series courseware in a joint collaboration
with MediaCorp.

The success of Singapore Mathematics textbooks in the US

has led to MC Onlines introduction of Math Buddies in the
country. Math Buddies is a Singapore Mathematics digital
curriculum that is able to complement mathematics textbooks
in the US, and is aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
Math Buddies was launched at the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics conference in Atlanta in October
2011, and is being piloted in several schools in the US.
In Hong Kong, our education division has been actively
participating in a three-year pilot scheme on Promoting
e-Learning conducted by the Education Bureau of Hong
Kong. Four projects were awarded government funding
among a total of 21 short-listed projects in Hong Kong.
One of the e-learning partners, Fung Kai Innovative School,
is well known as one of the 12 Microsoft Innovative Schools
worldwide. The Fung Kai project has been awarded the largest
allotment of funding by the government. The project involves
the production of e-Books for two core primary subjects
Mathematics and General Studies. The e-Books will replace
traditional printed textbooks with pupils using the e-Books
for class learning and home study.
In Vietnam, the MC Online learning portal has been approved
by the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh
City to provide e-learning solutions to government schools in
the country. Philippines remains one of the largest markets
outside Singapore for MC Online, with more than 80 schools
and 50,000 subscribers adopting our e-learning solutions.
MC Online e-learning solutions have also been adopted in
countries like South Africa, Hong Kong, Australia and Jordan.
The number of subscribers in these countries is increasing.
Marshall Cavendish Home & Library Market
Educational Technologies Limited (ETL), our unit that
specialises in publishing home reference books continued
to provide distributors with comprehensive sales support,
including both online and offline marketing support,

together with brand reinforcement to increase their market
presence and strengthen brand awareness. ETL also
participated in corporate social responsibility projects initiated
by their partner distributors in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and
Pakistan to provide products or sponsorship to underprivileged
children in the local communities.
ETL kept its focus on digital strategy with the launch of the
ETL Pal (a childrens tablet) and the ETL Kids Club (an online
learning portal for children). In response to a rapidly changing
market, our library unit in the US also expanded its digital
programmes. Over 300 titles from the Marshall Cavendish
Benchmark, Childrens and Reference imprints were made
available for sale through Marshall Cavendish Digital,
the companys online research resource.
Titles published by Marshall Cavendish in the US continued
to garner numerous awards. Marshall Cavendish Benchmark
series were selected by the American Library Associations
Booklist as top series in sports and in non-fiction series.
Marshall Cavendish Business Information
Despite the global economic uncertainties, the directories
business managed to achieve modest growth in sales and
profit, underpinned by the strong take-up rate for our online
advertisement sales. Our online websites gained much
popularity during the year with visitorship doubling to
10 million, attracting a total of 50 million page views.
One new title, Singapore MedTech Guide, and a phone app
for Halal Eating Establishments were successfully launched.
We also managed to secure a new publishing contract from
the Singapore Maritime Foundation to publish the Singapore
Maritime Services Guide.
Going forward however, the business is likely to suffer a
slowdown due to the poor economic outlook arising from the
Euro zone crisis and the endemic US economy.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

Printing
The Printing division enjoyed higher printing volumes in all its
plants in Singapore, Malaysia and China. Revenue, however,
increased at a lower rate due to strong competitive price
pressure and unfavourable translation effect from a strong
Singapore dollar. PBIT growth outpaced revenue growth
significantly, which has benefited from higher gross profit
margins due to lower material prices and improvement in
manufacturing efficiencies.
Revenue increase came mainly from the domestic markets in
which the Print companies operate. Export work was mainly to
the US, Europe and Australia.
The focus on an aggressive sales strategy continued to bear
fruit with new work awarded to Times Printers from DSTA to
print all their publications for national servicemen in Singapore.
The drive to seek work from the commercial sector to expand
the client base from the traditional book and magazine
customers has also been successful. Everbest continues to
pursue work from overseas publishers, securing new orders
from the UK and Australia. For Everbest China, they have
also extended a few annual printing contracts with major
supermarkets.
From top to bottom: 2010 CIP4 International Print Production Innovation

Awards, DSTA contracted Times Printers to print all their publications
The Print companies continued to excel in printing quality

work with awards won in global and regional print industry
awards. In the Asian Print Awards held in November 2010.
Times Printers won the platinum sponsor award for the
Best in Web Offset Printing and the gold award for the
Web-Offset, Coated Stock. Everbest Printing in Hong Kong
won the platinum award for the Best Application of Creative
Colours and gold awards for Book Printing more than
4 colours and Calendars categories. In digital printing,
JCS Digital Solutions won the HP Digital Print Awards in the
Speciality Printing category.
Times Printers also won Best Process Automation
Implementation in the Asia Pacific awarded in the 2010
CIP4 International Print Production Innovation Awards.
This award is given in recognition of demonstrating leadership
in pursuit of the best automation technology. This follows the
implementation of its ERP system which automated the entire
printing process by connecting management to prepress,
press and postpress. Times Printers was also certified by Fogra
on PSO standard for Sheetfed and Web printing. Times Printers
also developed an anti-scanning system to deter counterfeit
of its printed books. Everbest Printing was accredited with the
OHSAS18001 certification for occupational health and safety.
To improve productivity and efficiency, detailed monitoring
systems were set up. Additional measures to aggressively
manage waste were introduced.
Going forward, the Printing division expects electronic reading
devices to have an effect on the reading habits of consumers.
However we will continue to seek new markets and expand
our customer base and drive improvements in efficiency.

Distribution
Revenue of the Distribution division was marginally lower
as compared to last year. The main drop came from poor
domestic sales of lifestyle accessories in Australia and the loss
of books sales attributable to closure of Borders Singapore.
Our book distribution unit did well in managing its inventory
and gaining some new lists during the year which has helped
in the profit contribution.
Sales volume of imported magazines was down by about
12% against last years volume due to the loss of titles
representation. However, our magazines unit was helped by
the distribution of non-magazines products such as collectible
products, novelty items, and opening of new channels and
library supplies. Wholesales export of Australian titles remains
difficult due to the strong Australian dollar (AUD) and the
weak economic climate in the US and Europe.
Australias domestic retail has been weak ever since the
flooding disaster and bush fire breakouts at the populated
eastern areas of the country at the beginning of the financial
year. Sales were drastically curtailed with the fear of an
economic downturn. The strong AUD and attraction of online
price have prompted consumers to shop from overseas internet
retailers. This has affected consumer spending at high street
stores and the value chain in distribution sales.
Books
Pansing books division is one of Asias leading book
distributors, marketing a wide range of titles from fiction
by leading authors, Asian interest books to childrens titles,
amongst others. Meanwhile, operating profit for the business
increased 28%, helped by lower stock obsolescence costs.
This was despite pressure on the gross margin, which
declined slightly as the benefit from the fall in the value of the
companys principal purchasing currencies slowed.
Demonstrating the range of titles distributed by Pansing,
the top 25 for the year included textbooks, self-help titles
and the Guinness Book of World Records, which has been
sold by Pansing and its predecessors for over 50 years.
Magazines
Pansing magazines division runs the wholesale and distribution
of local and imported magazines in Australia, Singapore,
Malaysia and Hong Kong.
The strong AUD has continued to pose some challenges for
export sales for the Australian wholesale operation, but sales
in the divisions other domestic markets have delivered better
than expected overall performance in the year. Although
volume of imported titles sold was down about 12% for Hong
Kong and Singapore, the loss of sales was partially mitigated
by the distribution of other new products. Net gross margins
have also improved despite higher freight cost and fuel
surcharges coming from improved sales mix of other product
categories. Stationery and gift have also enabled the division
to reach beyond traditional bookstores.
Hong Kong has consistently delivered good performance
for the past few years. The strong sales performance of
22% over the previous year was attributed to successful
tenders for public library and school supplies contracts,
and the distribution of four different collections of Partworks
from DeAgostini.
In the year, Australias magazine wholesale operation acquired
40 new independent publishers representing over 100 new
titles to add to its stable. Sales went up 31% against last years
level but profit was down due to lower sales efficiencies from
different export markets. It would continue to drive gross units
into the market and wider territory coverage for incremental
margin contribution.
E-magazines have yet to create a visible impact on the
magazine distribution units in the markets we operate.
Nevertheless the division has commenced work with an
e-platform provider of magazines to develop and expand
digital sales and distribution of magazines in our territories.
The outlook for the next year would be a cautious one given
the worsening global economic overhang and inflationary
pressure. Expansion into distribution of non-print products will
allow for business continuity and position the company to take
advantage of the economic recovery.
Lifestyle Accessories
Sales of Musicway in Australia was down by 26% for the
year on the back of a reduction in consumer spending at high
street stores. The introduction of flood levy and the impending
carbon tax has affected consumer sentiment. In addition,
the strong AUD and attractive online prices have posed further
challenges to the business.
Going forward, Musicway would focus on sourcing for an
exclusive and unique range of products and expanding the
indent business with major retailers in the midterm, to reduce
inventory holding and cost management to ride out the poor
retail sentiment.

CEO BUSINESS REVIEW

Retail
The general high street book retailing market remains
challenging especially in Singapore with its higher costs of
operation. The proliferation of tablets and smart devices would
add more pressure to the bookselling business. While there are
still some opportunities in Malaysia to grow the number
of stores, the growth in Singapores competitive market is
rather limited for a general bookstore.
The chain has developed a new brand, Times Learning+,
to offer education related products, leveraging the strength
of Marshall Cavendish Education as a leading education
publisher. In addition, the chain has also expanded its
product offering to include lifestyle related merchandise,
confectioneries and branded stationeries.
Sales of the Retail division was down by 4% against last
years level due to the loss of a major airport shop tender.
The impact was partially mitigated by improved sales
performance from new high street shops in Singapore and

Malaysia. The performance of our airport chain, Times Travel,
has since improved over last year in tandem with the increase
in air travel.
The chain operating in Singapore and Malaysia will continue
to focus on the creation of a new and expanded range
of merchandise. Direct sourcing of products to create a
differentiated product offering would help in improving
margins and sales. Increased targeted marketing activities will
be carried out by working with various social media networks
and trade partnerships to drive traffic to stores.
With the changing landscape of bookselling and the
increasing trend in online purchases, the group has launched
NoQ store.asia, an online retail store targeting the Asian
markets. The store would initially leverage and harness the
competencies of the Retail and Distribution divisions in selling
books online. The intention is to extend the product offering
beyond books to be a leading online retailer in the region.

TREASURY HIGHLIGHTS
The Group aims to maintain a prudent financial structure

to ensure that it will be able to access adequate capital
at favourable terms. Its three businesses, namely Food &
Beverage, Properties and Publishing & Printing, remain
the main sources of cash flows generated for the Group.
Management monitors the Groups cash flow position,
debt maturity profile, cost of funds, interest rates exposures
and overall liquidity position on a continuous basis. To ensure
that the Group has adequate overall liquidity to finance
its operations and investment requirements, it maintains a
significant amount of available banking facilities with a large
number of banks, allowing its continued access to the
debt markets.
In FY2011, the Groups balance sheet strengthened further.
Net Group Borrowings (net of cash) dropped from $2.9 billion
to $2.4 billion during the year. Coupled with a 11.1% increase
in total equity, to $7.7 billion, Group Net Gearing (borrowings
less cash) fell to 30.6%, a significant improvement from 41.4%
recorded in the previous year. The reduced net borrowings
was attributed to cash collection from the strong pipeline of
pre-sold development projects in Singapore and overseas,
stable cashflow generated from investment properties, sale of
assets, as well as from the cash generative Food & Beverage
business. The Group expects to receive more than $650 million
in cash from its existing pre-sold projects for the new financial
year ending 30 September 2012.
Finance cost in FY2011 was $142.8 million (of which
$71.2 million was capitalised), 23.9% lower than the previous
years finance cost of $187.6 million (of which $97.1 million
was capitalised) mainly due to lower borrowings and lower
interest rates.
Source of Funding
Besides cash flow from its businesses, the Group also relies
on debt capital markets, equity market and bilateral banking
facilities for its funding. As at 30 Sep 2011, the Group has
$4.7 billion in banking facilities, $1.0 billion in Transferable
Term Loan Facilities and $2.8 billion (Group consolidated
share) in Medium Term Note (MTN) Programmes to meet
its funding requirements.
Available Bank Lines by Banks as at 30 Sep 2011

The Group maintains an active relationship with a network
of more than 25 banks of various nationalities, located in
various countries where the Group operates. Its five principal
bankers are Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd, DBS Bank Ltd,
Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation, Standard Chartered
Bank and United Overseas Bank Limited.
The Group continues to adopt the philosophy of engaging the

banks as its core business partners, which has served it well
in the recent financial turbulence. It continues to receive very
strong support from its relationship banks across all segments
of its businesses. Total banking facilities (utilised and unutilised)
extended to the Group as at 30 Sep 2011 amounted to
$4.7 billion. The principal bankers of the Group provided
65% of these banking facilities. All banking relationships for
the entire Group are maintained by Corporate Treasury in
Singapore.
Debt Capital Markets

The Group has various MTN Programmes in place to tap the
debt capital market. F&N Treasury Pte Ltd has a $2.0 billion
MTN Program, Asia Pacific Breweries Limited has a $1.0 billion
Program, Frasers Centrepoint Trust has a $500 million MTN
Program and Fraser and Neave Holdings Bhd has a RM1 billion
MTN Program.
During the year, the Group further diversified its sources
of funding by issuing $300 million fixed rate bonds to retail
investors under F&N Treasury Pte Ltd. A $220 million,
2.48%, 5-year fixed rate bonds maturing on 28 Mar 2016,
and a $80 million, 3.15%, 7-year fixed rate bonds maturing
28 Mar 2018 were placed out to and subscribed by retail and
institutional investors on 28 Mar 2011. These bonds are listed
on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The net
proceeds raised from the bond offerings were used to fund
Singapore property development projects namely Palm Isles
at Flora Drive and Water Town at Punggol Central.

12 months, to 30 Sep 2012. For the remaining $535 million
due by 30 Sep 2012, the Group currently has more than
sufficient resources to repay these loans as and when they fall
due without having to refinance these loans.

Interest Rate Profile and Derivatives

The Group manages its interest cost by maintaining a prudent
mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings. On a portfolio basis,
56% of the Groups borrowings are in fixed rates (including
floating rate borrowings that have been fixed with interest
rate swaps) with an average fixed rate tenor of 3.4 years as at
30 Sep 2011. The remaining 44% of the Groups borrowings
are in floating rates as at 30 Sep 2011. The floating rate loan
portfolio allows the Group to maintain a flexible maturity
profile to support divestments and cash inflows from sales
of development property where debt can be reduced quickly.
In managing the interest rate profile, the Group takes
into account the interest rate outlook, expected cash flow
generated from its business operations, holding period of long
term investments and any acquisition and divestments plans.
The Group makes use of interest rates derivatives for the
purpose of hedging interest rates risks and managing its
portfolio of fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Group
does not engage in trading in interest rates derivatives.
The Groups total interest rate derivatives and the mark to
market values as at 30 Sep 2011 are disclosed in the financial
statement in Note 37.
Gearing and Interest Cover

The Group aims to keep the Group Net Gearing below
80%. As at 30 Sep 2011, this ratio was 30.6%. Total interest
paid during the year amounted to $142.8 million, of which
$71.2 million was capitalised as part of Properties Under
Development. The net interest charged to profit statement
for the year was $53.9 million and net interest cover was at
21.4 times. Net Borrowings over PBITDA was at 1.8 times.
Foreign Exchange Risks and Derivatives

The Group has exposure to foreign exchange risk as a result
of transactions denominated in foreign currencies, arising from
normal trading and investment activities. Where exposures
are certain, it is the Groups policy to hedge these risks as
they arise. For those exposures less certain in their timing
and extent, it is the Groups policy to cover 50% to 90% of
anticipated exposures for a maximum period of 12 months
forward. The Group uses foreign currency forward exchange
contracts and certain currency derivatives to manage these
foreign exchange risks.
The Group does not engage in trading of foreign exchange
and foreign exchange derivatives. The Group uses foreign
exchange contracts and derivatives solely for hedging actual
underlying foreign exchange requirements in accordance with
hedging limits set by the Audit Committee and the Board

under the Group Treasury Policy. These policies are reviewed
regularly by the Audit and Executive Committees to ensure
that the Groups policies and guidelines are in line with the
Groups foreign exchange risk management objectives.
The Groups foreign exchange contracts and derivatives and
the mark to market values as at 30 Sep 2011 are disclosed
in the financial statement in Note 37.
The Group does not hedge its foreign exchange risks of its
investments in overseas subsidiary, joint venture and associated
companies. Such investments are long term in nature and
therefore not feasible and economical to hedge. The Group
only hedges the dividends cash flows payable from its overseas
subsidiary, joint venture and associated companies.
Use of Proceeds from Issue of Shares

Pursuant to the subscription in Jan 2007 by Seletar Investments
Pte Ltd (a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited)
of an aggregate 205.5 million new shares in the Company
(the Subscription Shares) representing approximately 14.9%
of the enlarged share capital of the Company, the Company
received aggregate issue proceeds of approximately
$900 million (the Net Proceeds) for the Subscription
Shares. The Net Proceeds is to be used for working capital,
making new investments in food and beverage businesses,
and for growing the Companys existing and new food and
beverage businesses.
Pursuant to Rule 1207(20) of the Listing Manual of the
Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited, the following
is a status report on the usage of the Net Proceeds.
For the year ended 30 Sept 2011, the Companys Food and
Beverage Division (1) had deployed a total of $71.1 million
from the Net Proceeds (including $26.4 million in acquiring
the Kings Creameries group of companies), for purposes of

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our vision is to be a world-class

multi-national enterprise
based on our ability to create
and build long term sustainable
value to our shareholders,
responsibly.
The F&N Group understands that we have a responsibility
as a corporate citizen to conduct our business activities
in a responsible and sustainable manner in todays global
business environment. Beyond achieving operational and
financial excellence, the Group remains committed to building
stakeholder value in the environment and communities in
which we operate.
Safeguarding Our Environment

Environmental conservation remains one of the Groups
main focus areas of corporate social responsibility. At F&N,
we strive to ensure that operational excellence is not achieved
at the expense of environmental degradation. Through
continuous innovation and adoption of environmental best
practices, we have been successful in taking steps towards
safeguarding our environment.
For its ongoing efforts in contributing to a sustainable built
environment, our Properties division, Frasers Centrepoint
Limited (FCL), received five Green Mark Awards from the
Building and Construction Authority (BCA) a Platinum
award for Causeway Point and four Gold awards for Alexandra
Point, Alexandra Technopark, Bedok Point and 8@Woodleigh
residential development. The BCA Green Mark differentiates
buildings in Singapore which adopt internationally recognised
best practices in environmental design and performance.
Energy and water-efficient features have been incorporated
into these five developments and have substantially reduced
the companys consumption of energy and water.
At our F&B division, Asia Pacific Breweries (APB) stays
committed to becoming a greener brewer and has been
enhancing its resource efficiency. Over the past five years,
water, electricity and thermal energy consumption at the
Singapore plant has decreased by 10.5%, 8% and 18.7%
respectively. It plans to further reduce its consumption of
water by another 7.7%, electricity by 12.4%, and thermal
energy by 16.4% over the next three years.

STR3NGTH
In Singapore, 12 out of 14 commercial properties1 managed

by the Properties division achieved energy savings of 9.8%
or 9.2 million kWh over the previous year due to initiatives
such as installing motion detectors for lights and the
lowering of lighting levels after business hours. The upgrading
of the air-conditioning system, completed in September
2011 at Alexandra Technopark, is expected to further reduce
energy consumption by 6.8 million kWh in the coming year.
Water consumption reduced by 8% as compared to
the previous year due to the retrofitting of water-saving
air-conditioning and lavatory systems. In particular,
Alexandra Technopark achieved a significant improvement
in water consumption by 39.5% as a result of these
installations. Alexandra Point and Alexandra Technopark
have both been recognised as Water-Efficient Buildings by
the Public Utilities Board.
To mitigate the environmental impact of our commercial
buildings, green regulations and technology have been
adopted; NEWater is used wherever possible for landscape
irrigation, air-conditioning, sprinkler protection and hose
reel systems. Causeway Point has also started a rainwater
harvesting system for landscape irrigation. Noise pollution
is cut down with the use of low-noise cooling towers and
silencers for exhaust fans. F&B tenants are required to
install proper kitchen hood cleaning systems to reduce
the levels of grease and smoke emitted during cooking,
and are encouraged to participate in food waste recycling.
For the maintenance of our properties, appointed vendors
are advised to use cleaning products certified by the
Singapore Green Building Council or the United States-based
Green Seal. Stepping up on our efforts towards conserving
our resources, our Properties division continues to assess
the suitability of new technology and green practices for
implementation across all our property developments.

Giving Back to Our Community

Charity Events
In Singapore, our Properties division remained active in
supporting and organising community events, raising funds
through its hospitality and retail business units. Frasers
Hospitality raised more than $11,000 from its annual Fraser
Fiesta, a food and games carnival and Christmas charity
auction, for its adopted charity the Marymount Centre,
a voluntary welfare organisation that reaches out to
marginalised women and children.
Frasers Centrepoint Malls (FCM) organised a community
outreach event titled The Smurfs - Lost in the Mall for children
from low-income families. To encourage staff volunteerism,
employees from the different business units of F&N Group
teamed up with 48 children in a treasure hunt held at
The Centrepoint. The children received shopping vouchers
and goodie bags filled with snacks and movie memorabilia
after a fun-filled day of activities. On a separate occasion,
FCM conducted a donation drive to raise funds for the
Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS).
Over in Perth, Central Park garnered the MS Society 2011
Commitment Award for its consistent support for the
Multiple Sclerosis Societys annual staircase running
competition, held for the fifth consecutive year at its premises.
Other fundraising events supported by Central Park include
the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundations Spin To Cure
Diabetes, Rio Tinto Earthquake Sausage Sizzle, CBA Prostrate
Cancer Awareness Sausage Sizzle and Daffodil Day by Cancer
Council of Australia.
Perths Central Park is also an ardent supporter of the arts and
was venue sponsor for two key art exhibitions. The Colours
Of Our Country Aboriginal art exhibition showcased the
works of Western Australias indigenous artists and the highly
successful event saw the artworks completely sold within
hours and all proceeds directly benefitting the artists and their
community. The second exhibition, The Refugee Exhibition,
was anchored on the theme Free from Fear and presented
artworks by refugee children to create awareness of their
plight and to promote a multi-cultural society.
Back at home, in recognition of its contributions to fostering
a vibrant arts and heritage culture, FCM received the Patron
of Heritage Awards 2010 - Friend of Heritage from the
National Heritage Board, while Robertson Walk won the Arts
Supporter Award 2011 from the National Arts Council.
For its annual Chinese New Year community event, APB held
a reunion dinner for 130 needy elderly. It also launched the
Cookies for Charity campaign and matched dollar-to-dollar
for donations collected, raising a total of $25,000 towards
its Meals and Grocery programme to ensure that the needy
elderly received nutritious meals throughout the year.

Sports and Youth

As the leading isotonic beverage of the sporting community,
100PLUS continued to lend its support to international and
local sporting events. In Malaysia, it was the title sponsor of
the 100PLUS Malaysian Junior Open and the 100PLUS National
Junior Circuit, amongst other tournaments.
At home, 100PLUS outdid its counterparts by sponsoring
$750,000 to the national table tennis men and womens
teams in January 2011, the largest sponsorship received by
the Singapore Table Tennis Association at the time. It also
continued to honour Singaporean athletes who have excelled
in their field by presenting The Straits Times Star of the Month
and The Straits Times Athlete of the Year Award. 100PLUS
longstanding support for a wide variety of sporting events
ranging from marathons to cycling, golf and water sports in
the region, coupled with its partnership with the Singapore
Sports Council have helped to drive home the importance of
healthy living and adequate hydration.
In support of youth culture, F&N Sparkling Drinks presented
the second edition of Singapore Dance Delight, the local leg
of the international street dance competition held in Osaka,
Japan.
Into its ninth year, F&N Holdings Berhad (F&NHB) rewarded
174 children of its employees with a total of RM174,800 for
academic excellence in the 2010 public examinations under
its F&N Chairmans Award scheme. To date, F&NHB has given
out a total of RM1.5 million to 1,441 recipients.
F&NHB also collaborated with the Ministry of Rural and
Regional Development (KKLW) in pioneering Program Niaga
Makan Minum F&N, a rural entrepreneur development
programme to help young aspiring entrepreneurs realise their
dreams. The programme was designed to empower youths
with a keen interest in starting an eatery with knowledge from
financial planning and business concepts to food preparation
and customer service. Besides imparting the business knowhow, the programme also offered financial assistance to those
who completed the programme to kick-start their businesses.
For many generations, F&N MAGNOLIA has been a champion

of nutrition, nurturing both body and mind. This year,
F&N MAGNOLIA was a proud supporter of READ! Singapore
2011, a national initiative by the National Library Board to
promote the culture of reading among Singaporeans and to
offer them opportunities to rediscover the joys of reading.
F&N MAGNOLIA also supported the young in building the
foundations of their literary future by presenting The Straits
Times Little Red Dot Reading Programme for the second
year. Aimed at introducing the virtues of reading to children
in schools, the programme hopes to provide the nutrition
fundamentals to fuel the minds of young Singaporeans and
build the foundation of their future dreams through the
knowledge gleaned from the books they read.

Caring for our Consumers

F&N has been a strong supporter and partner of the Singapore
Health Promotion Board (HPB) since 2007. Together,
we jointly educate the public on the importance of staying
healthy through the knowledge of good nutrition, healthy
eating habits and adopting an active lifestyle. The close
collaboration has enabled the Group to roll out meaningful
programmes to reinforce what the F&B division stands for
- healthy enjoyment. We have also pledged our support to
HPBs Healthier Food Choices Commitment programme by
introducing healthier products that are lower in calories and
carry the Healthier Choice Symbol. We commit to stay true
to our promise to deliver Pure Enjoyment. Pure Goodness
to our consumers.
Likewise, F&N NUTRISOY, the most popular soya milk in
Singapore in 2011, was awarded the Healthier Choice Symbol
by HPB and is recognised by the Singapore Heart Foundation
as a heart-friendly drink. To support the World Heart Day 2011
and National Heart Week, F&B division donated all proceeds
from the sale of F&N NUTRISOY at Heart Fair 2011 to the
Singapore Heart Foundation and launched a special pack to
thank its consumers. World Heart Day is celebrated annually by
global member organisations of the World Heart Federation in
100 countries. The activities aim to increase public awareness
and promote preventive measures to reduce the global
incidence of cardiovascular disease.
A leading advocate against binge and drink drinking,

APB continued to promote a culture of responsible drinking
in markets such as Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand,
Laos, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. At home,
the countrys first youth-for-youth anti-binge drinking initiative
Get Your Sexy Back which APB started in 2007, highlighted
the ill effects of alcohol abuse to those aged 18 to 24.
Staying committed to its stance against drink driving,
it continued to sponsor the Traffic Police Anti-Drink Drive
Campaign for the 16th year running. In addition, APB was
the main sponsor for the Safe Roads Singapore campaign

Human Capital Management

SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND INNOVATION
Innovation is KEY to corporate survival. Companies that dont reinvent themselves and innovate, very quickly
get left behind.
Chairman, Mr Lee Hsien Yang
Chairman with management, MDP participants and MDP Alumni
The spirit of enterprise and innovation has always been the

hallmark of F&N Group. As the Group moves on to its next
phase of strategic growth, it continues to develop its people
to meet new challenges ahead. The flagship F&N Group
Management Development Programme (MDP) has been the
key talent development tool to ensure a continuous stream of
talent throughout the Group to support its strategic initiatives
and growth. To date, the F&N Group MDP has successfully
developed eight cohorts of potential leaders. Through the
years, this programme has been continuously refined to
incorporate a more holistic development of our talent as well
as to align with the Groups overall growth ambitions.
Up Close and Personal: Dialogue with Chairman
One of the special features of the MDP is the dialogue and
sharing session by the Groups top honchos. At this years
Up Close and Personal dialogue segment, the F&N Group
MDP was privileged to have Chairman as the dialogue guest.
Besides the MDP participants, business unit CEOs, senior
management and MDP Alumni members were present at
this milestone session, where Chairman engaged the MDP
participants in a lively sharing and group dialogue session
on the theme Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Chairman kick-started the session with candid sharing of
his past experiences and thoughts on the theme. During his
sharing, Chairman stressed the importance of innovation and
gave specific examples of innovative companies that survived
Chairman shares his insights and thoughts during the MDP dialogue segment

ourselves or be left behind, citing several once iconic brand
names that have gone out of existence. This was followed
by interactive questions and answers between the MDP
participants and Chairman.

The Up Close and Personal: Dialogue with Chairman

segment was very well-received by both current participants
and the MDP Alumni (previous cohorts of MDP participants).
Participants found Chairmans sharing very motivating,
encouraging, insightful and honest. It was clear that they
considered it a privilege to learn from and interact with him.
They were very encouraged to be able to hear gems of wisdom
from Chairman in such an informal setting.
The day of the Up Close and Personal dialogue session

coincided with the launch of the 100PLUS Challenger at
SCAPE and the MDP was privileged to be part of this launch.
Chairman even tried his hand at scaling the rock wall of the
100PLUS Challenger. It was the first time that MDP participants
got to be part of a launch event in the midst of the
programme. This also provided an opportunity for participants
from different business units to be involved in another business
units branding activity, hence building a stronger sense of
affinity with the various F&N brands and businesses within
the Group.

Milestone Year for Management Development

Programme
2011 marked a milestone year for the MDP as we achieved
several firsts.
With the expansion of the Group, the MDP received
overwhelming nominations from its businesses. This was
the first time the MDP accepted twice the number of usual
nominations, the largest cohort we have ever had for the
programme. Participants came from the various business
units both locally and overseas (China, Hong Kong, Thailand,
Myanmar, Malaysia and the Philippines).
The diversity of this cohort enriched the interactions and

learning experiences of the participants. Additional trainers
and facilitators were specially arranged to handle the larger
number of participants and to ensure effective learning.
At the outdoor experiential learning segment of the MDP
this year, we were the first to use the new activity adopted
from the popular mobile game Angry Birds developed by
experiential trainers. Another activity of the outdoor segment
was the high ropes course where participants had to overcome
the fear of traversing a series of ropes, planks and obstacles
suspended four storeys high in the air. It was truly a challenge
of their life time as they developed their mind, body and
heart during this programme.

ENTERPRISE-WIDE RISK MANAGEMENT
The objectives of risk management are to safeguard the

shareholders investments and the companys assets so as to
steer the company to the next level of growth whilst operating
within the companys risk parameters. Fraser and Neave, Limited,
(F&N or the Group) achieves these objectives through having
a risk management framework that encompasses all areas of our
operations.
Enterprise-wide risk reporting is facilitated through a web-based
Corporate Risk Scorecard system which enables entities within the
Group to report risks and risk status using a common platform in
a consistent and cohesive manner.
Risk Management Process

Risks are reported and monitored at the operational level using a
Risk Scorecard which captures risks, mitigating measures, timeline
for action items and risk ratings.
Where applicable, Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) are established to
monitor risks.
For risks that are material, the mitigating measures and KRIs are
presented in the form of a Key Risk Dashboard and reviewed by
Management on a regular basis.
There are 3 levels of risk reporting: Operating Units reporting
into the Subsidiaries which in turn report to the Business Units
and finally to the Group.
Risks are reviewed and managed at each level of reporting and
consolidated for review at the next higher level, before they are
escalated for review at Group level.
A risk coordinator appointed within each entity (ie. operating unit,
subsidiary, business unit, etc.) coordinates the risk review and
reporting process.
In response to the fast changing global landscape and increasing
scale of operations, formal risk reviews and reporting take
place quarterly for FY2011, as part of F&Ns efforts to raise risk
awareness as well as to better align the responses of the Group
to new developments.
This is followed by an ERM validation before the Group Audit

Committee, where the respective business units provide assurance
to the Committee that key risks at Group level have been
identified and the controls are adequate.
F&N also seeks to benchmark its ERM programme against industry
best practices and standards. In assessing areas for improvement
and how the ERM processes and practices can be strengthened,
reference was made to the best practices in risk management set
out in the Guidebook for Audit Committees in Singapore issued
by the Audit Committee Guidance Committee in October 2008
and the ISO 31000 standards on risk management.
As every staff has a role to play in risk management, ERM and
business continuity plan awareness workshops were facilitated
jointly by the business unit and Group Risk Manager/Risk
Coordinator for new staff and entities of the Group and refresher
programmes organised where required.
Key Risks in FY2011

During the last financial year, the key categories of risks faced by
the Group are summarised as follows.
Reputation Risks
Food safety concerns as reported in some Asian countries served
to reinforce the importance of managing the risks related to food
safety management. While F&N has in place a robust process
to mitigate the risk of food contamination through upholding
the strict requirements stipulated under the various food safety
management standards, the status of food safety risk is reported
by the Food and Beverage division of the Group at quarterly
intervals.
Strategic Risks
Asia Pacific being the key region of growth, has attracted more
new players to the food and beverage industry. This, coupled
with the heightened pace in digital transformation, and evolving
European debt crisis, posed new challenges to the various
businesses within the Group. The Group closely tracks these
developments and reviews the effectiveness of its strategies so
as to sustain its competitiveness.
Country and Property Risks
Risk Update
Risks are reported and monitored at the scorecard level and
grouped under the following risk categories for the purpose
of management reporting.
Reputational risks
Strategic risks
Country and political risks
Currency and interest rates risks
Commodity risks
Property risks
At the end of each financial year, an annual ERM validation
session is held where Management of the business units provides
assurance to the Group Management Committee, that key risks
at the business unit level have been identified and the control
measures are adequate.
The recent natural disasters particularly in Japan and Thailand

as well as political unrests in Asia and Middle East, have led to
the more critical review of the effectiveness of our emergency
response plans and insurance programmes. We continue to finetune our emergency responses, business continuity plans and
insurance programmes from key learnings gained both internally
and from other organisations.
The Group recognises the importance of maintaining a consistent
and cohesive ERM programme across over 30 countries where we
have a presence, and continues its efforts to roll out such ERM
programme including business continuity plans to newly acquired
business units.
The Group also maintains close working relationships with local
business partners and authorities to keep abreast of political
developments, and changes in the regulatory framework and
business environment in which entities of the Group operate.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2011
Setting and maintaining high standards of corporate governance and constantly striving to surpass such standards is core to the
culture of Fraser and Neave, Limited (F&N or the Company). Putting this into practice, the F&N Group has in place sound
corporate policies and business practices, as well as a rigorous system of internal controls, all of which individually and collectively,
serve to strengthen corporate transparency. It is the F&N Groups firm belief that its overall business integrity and performance has
to be grounded on a foundation of good governance, so that we can maintain sustainable growth and deliver value to Shareholders.
To attain this aim, our highly-qualified Board works hand in hand with our experienced Management team, drawing upon and
ensuring close adherence to the principles and guidelines of the Code of Corporate Governance 2005 (Code 2005) and other
applicable laws, rules and regulations. For its efforts, the Company has garnered some accolades from the investment community,
brief particulars of which are set out in the section entitled Communication with Shareholders.
This report sets out F&Ns key corporate governance policies and practices against the principles and guidelines of Code 2005.
Board Matters
Boards Conduct of its Affairs
Principle 1:
Every company should be headed by an effective Board to lead and control the company. The Board is collectively responsible for the
success of the company. The Board works with Management to achieve this and the Management remains accountable to the Board.
The Board sets the benchmark and is responsible for F&Ns corporate governance standards and policies. Its primary responsibilities
entail overseeing the Groups business performance and affairs, providing F&N with entrepreneurial leadership, and setting its
strategic direction and performance objectives. The Board also reviews annual budgets, financial plans, major acquisitions and
divestments, funding and investment proposals, and monitors the performance of the Group (including financial performance
as well as Managements performance), and ensures compliance by the Group with relevant laws and regulations. The Board
meets regularly. During Board meetings, our Directors actively participate, discuss, deliberate and appraise the matters requiring its
attention and decision.
As at 30 September 2011, the Board comprises ten directors, all of whom are non-executive directors. They are:
Mr Ho Tian Yee
Mr Hirotake Kobayashi (1)
Mr Koh Beng Seng
Dr Seek Ngee Huat (2)
Mr Soon Tit Koon
Mr Tan Chong Meng
Note:
(1) Mr Hirotake Kobayashi was appointed as a non-executive Director on 13 December 2010.
(2) Dr Seek Ngee Huat was appointed as an independent non-executive Director on 26 September 2011.
The addition of Dr Seek to the Board, following the appointment of Ms Maria Mercedes Corrales in September 2010, is part of the
Companys continual drive to inject fresh perspectives into Board discussions. It also enlarges the collective pool of expertise, adding
on to an already impressive array of transnational, multi-disciplinary skill set and industry knowledge of our Directors. There has been
a growing global trend for greater female representation in the board room. Ms Corrales appointment attests to the Companys
recognition of the importance of gender diversity for its Board. It is also consistent with the inclusion of gender representation as a
criterion for board composition in the recently promulgated proposed changes to Code 2005.

Board Matters (contd)

Delegation of Authority on certain Board Matters
In order for the Board to more efficaciously discharge its oversight functions, its delegates specific areas of responsibilities to five
Board Committees namely, the Board Executive Committee, the Audit Committee, the Nominating Committee, the Remuneration &
Staff Establishment Committee, and the Food & Beverage Board Committee. Each Board Committee is governed by clear terms of
reference which have been approved by the Board. Minutes of all Board Committee meetings are circulated to Board members so
that they are kept abreast of proceedings and matters discussed at such meetings.
The Company adopts a framework of delegated authorisations in its Manual of Authority (MOA). The MOA defines the procedures
and levels of authorisation required for specified transactions. It also sets out approval limits for operating and capital expenditure
as well as acquisitions and disposals of investments. Furthermore, there is a schedule of matters reserved specifically for the Boards
decision. These include approval of financial statements, business strategy and major investments or divestments. Below the Board
level, there are appropriate delegation of authority and approval sub-limits at Management level, to facilitate operational efficiency.
To address and manage possible conflicts of interest that may arise between Directors interests and those of the Group,
the Company has put in place appropriate procedures including requiring such Directors to refrain from participating in meetings
or discussions (or relevant segments thereof), in addition to abstaining from voting, on any matter in which they are so interested
or conflicted.
Board Executive Committee (Board EXCO)
The Board EXCO comprises the following members:
Mr Lee Hsien Yang
Mr Ho Tian Yee
Mr Soon Tit Koon
Chairman
Member
Member
Member
The Board EXCO has oversight of the business affairs of F&N, and is empowered to exercise the full powers and authority of the
Board when the Board does not meet except in respect of matters that specifically require the decision of the Board or any Board
Committee.
Food & Beverage (F&B) Board Committee
This Committee oversees the F&N Groups F&B strategy and strategic plans for the Groups non-beer F&B business. The Groups F&B
Management devises and develops strategic plans and proposals which are then presented to the Committee. This serves as a forum
for discussion and/or debate before such plans and proposals are tabled to the Board. The members of the F&B Board Committee are:
Mr Lee Hsien Yang
Mr Soon Tit Koon
Chairman
Member
Member
The activities and responsibilities of other Board Committees are described in the following sections of this report.
Meetings of the Board and Board Committees
The Board and its various Board Committees meet regularly, and as necessitated by business requirements or if the members of the
Board deem it appropriate to do so. For the financial year ended 30 September 2011, the Board met eight times, including an annual
offsite strategic review meeting in conjunction with one of the Board meetings.
This annual off-site Board strategic review meeting is usually held at one of the Groups key business operations for Directors and
Management to discuss and review the Groups strategies and plans. This presents an invaluable platform for the Board to familiarise
itself and interact with key members of the Management team. Site visits and meetings with business partners, where appropriate,
are also included as part of the ongoing process for Directors to have a intimate understanding of the F&N Groups key business
operations. This years off-site retreat was held in March 2011 in Kuala Lumpur, where our Bursa-listed Malaysia F&B subsidiary
Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd, is headquartered.
79
Board Matters (contd)

The Directors are also given direct access to the Management team of the Groups three business divisions through presentations
at Board and Board Committee meetings. The Companys Articles of Association provide for Board members who are unable
to attend physical meetings to participate through telephone conference, video conference or any other forms of electronic or
instantaneous communication facilities.
The number of Board meetings and Board Committee meetings held in the financial year ended 30 September 2011 and the

Note:
(1) Mr Hirotake Kobayashi was appointed as a non-executive Director on 13 December 2010.
(3) Besides this meeting, all other matters during the year requiring the Nominating Committees approval were either dealt with via circular resolutions or discussions at
Board meetings.
Upon appointment, each new Director is issued with a formal letter of appointment setting out his or her duties and obligations.
A comprehensive orientation programme is also conducted to familiarise new appointees with the business activities, strategic
directions, policies and corporate governance practices of the F&N Group. This programme allows new Directors to get acquainted
with senior Management, so as to foster better rapport thereby facilitating communication with Management.
Directors are continually and regularly updated on the Groups businesses and the regulatory and industry-specific environments
in which the entities of the Group operate. Updates on relevant legal, regulatory and technical developments may be in writing or
disseminated by way of briefings or presentations. During the year, briefings on directors disclosure obligations, recent developments
in the laws relating to insider trading, and the proposed changes to Code 2005, were conducted for the Board. Our Directors are
also encouraged to be members of the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) and for them to receive journal updates and training
from SID to stay abreast of relevant developments in financial, legal and regulatory requirements, and the business environment
and outlook.

Board Composition and Guidance

Principle 2:
There should be a strong and independent element on the Board, which is able to exercise objective judgment on corporate affairs
independently, in particular, from Management. No individual or small group of individuals should be allowed to dominate the
Boards decision making.
The F&N Board comprises ten non-executive Directors, with a clear majority of seven being independent directors. F&N conducts
an annual review of the size and composition of the Board to ensure that both aspects continue to meet the needs of the Group.
The Nominating Committee is of the view that its current size and composition is appropriate for the scope and nature of the F&N
Groups operations, and for facilitating effective discussion and decision-making. In line with the proposed changes to Code 2005,
the Nominating Committee is also of the view that its current size is not so large as to be unwieldy, or as would interfere with efficient
decision-making. No individual or group dominates the Boards decision-making process. The Board proactively seeks to maintain an
appropriate balance of expertise, skills and attributes among the Directors, and this is also reflected in the diversity of backgrounds
and competencies of our Directors. Such competencies include banking, finance, accounting and other relevant industry knowledge,
entrepreneurial and management experience, and familiarity with regulatory requirements and risk management. This benefits
Management as it allows them to tap on the broad range of views and perspectives and the breadth of experience of our Directors.
There is a strong and independent element on the Board. This is fundamental to good corporate governance as it facilitates the
exercise of independent and objective judgment on corporate affairs. It also ensures that key issues and strategies are critically
reviewed, constructively challenged, fully discussed and thoroughly examined, and takes into account the long-term interests of F&N
and its Shareholders.
The Directors are provided with accurate, complete and timely information and have direct and unrestricted access to Management.
This is to give them sufficient time to critically consider issues pertinent to the Company and its business and operations, so that our
Directors can effectively carry out their duties and discharge their oversight function.
The Nominating Committee is of the view that there is an appropriate balance of expertise and skills amongst the Directors.
Together, the Directors bring with them a broad range of industry knowledge, expertise and experience. The recent addition of
Dr Seek is a boon to the Board, and further fortifies its collective ability to spur the F&N Group onwards and forward towards
its goals.
The Nominating Committee determines the independence of each Director annually based on the definitions and guidelines of
independence set out in the Code 2005. In respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2011, the Nominating Committee
performed a review of the independence of the directors. The Nominating Committee has determined that the following
non-executive Directors are non-independent:
Mr Lee Hsien Yang: Non-independent. Mr Lee is non-independent by virtue of his chairmanship of the Companys Management
Committee and the Executive Committee of Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Mr Soon Tit Koon: Non-independent. Mr Soon is a nominee of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), a substantial
shareholder(1) of the Company.
Mr Hirotake Kobayashi: Non-independent. Mr Kobayashi is a nominee of, and holds the position of Managing Director at Kirin
Holdings Company, Limited (Kirin), a substantial shareholder(1) of the Company. He is also a director of certain Kirin subsidiaries.
Note:
(1) A substantial shareholder is one which has, or is deemed to have, five percent (5%) or more interest in the voting shares of the Company.
81
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Principle 3:
There should be a clear division of responsibilities at the top of the company, the working of the Board and the executive responsibility
of the companys business which will ensure a balance of power and authority, such that no one individual represents a considerable
concentration of power.
The Chairman and the CEOs of each of the Groups three business divisions are separate persons to ensure an appropriate balance and
separation of power and authority, and clear division of responsibilities and accountability. The Chairmans Office, with the support
of F&Ns corporate services, co-ordinates the reporting lines of each of the CEOs to the Board. The Chairman is also not related to
any of the CEOs of the three business divisions. Neither is there any other business relationship between him and any of these CEOs.
Likewise, the CEOs are not related to each other, and there is also no other business relationship between or among them.
The Chairman, who is non-executive, provides leadership to the Board, steering effective, productive and comprehensive discussions
amongst members of the Board and Management on strategic, business and other issues pertinent to the Group. He ensures that
Directors are provided with clear, complete and timely information in order to make sound decisions.
The Chairman also encourages active and effective engagement, participation by and contribution from all Board members,
and facilitates constructive relations among and between the Board and Management. With the full support of the Board,
Company Secretary and Management, the Chairman leads the charge in the Companys drive to promote, attain and maintain high
standards of corporate governance and transparency. He also ensures overall effective communications to and with Shareholders
on the performance of the Group. In turn, each of the CEOs of the Groups three business divisions is responsible for the execution
of the Groups strategies and policies, and accountable to the Board for the conduct and performance of the respective business
operations under his charge.
Board Membership
Principle 4:
There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment of new directors to the Board.
The Nominating Committee comprises the following Directors:
Mr Ho Tian Yee
Chairman
Member
Member
All members of this Committee are independent non-executive Directors. The Chairman is neither a substantial shareholder nor
directly associated (1) to any substantial shareholder.
Note:
(1) A Director will be considered directly associated to a substantial shareholder when he is accustomed or under an obligation, whether formal or informal, to act in accordance
with the directions, instructions or wishes of such substantial shareholder.
The Nominating Committee is guided by written Terms of Reference approved by the Board and which set out the duties and
responsibilities of this Committee. It reviews the structure, size and composition of the Board, identifies the balance of skills,
knowledge and experience required for the Board to discharge its responsibilities effectively and nominates candidates to meet the
needs and requirements of the Group.
The Nominating Committee evaluates, on an annual basis, the independence of each Director. It also evaluates annually,
the performance of the Board as a whole, and the contribution of each Director to the effectiveness of the Board.
The Nominating Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on all nominations for appointments and
re-appointments to the Board and the Board Committees. This ensures an appropriate mix of core competencies to fulfill the
Boards roles and responsibilities.
82

Board Membership (contd)

The Nominating Committee also leads the process for the search, identification, evaluation and selection of suitable candidates
for new directorship. In its search and selection process, the Nominating Committee considers factors such as the ability of the
prospective candidate to contribute to discussions, deliberations and activities of the Board. The Nominating Committee also
reviews the composition of the Board including the mix of expertise, skills and attributes of existing Directors so as to identify
needed and/or desired competencies to supplement the Boards existing attributes. In doing so, where necessary or appropriate,
the Nominating Committee may tap its networking contacts and/or engage external professional headhunters to assist with
identifying and shortlisting candidates.
The Companys Articles of Association provides that at least one-third of its Directors shall retire from office and are subject to
re-election at every Annual General Meeting (AGM). All Directors are required to retire from office at least once every three years.
The Nominating Committee is satisfied that the Directors who are retiring in accordance with the Articles of Association at the
forthcoming AGM are properly qualified for re-appointment by virtue of their skills, experience and contribution. Newly-appointed
Directors must also submit themselves for retirement and re-election at the next AGM immediately following their appointment.
The Shareholders approve the appointment or re-appointment of Board members at the AGM.
In its annual review, the Nominating Committee assesses and affirms the independence of each Director. The Nominating Committee
has determined the status of each Director as follows:
Mr Lee Hsien Yang
Mr Ho Tian Yee
Mr Koh Beng Seng
Dr Seek Ngee Huat
Mr Soon Tit Koon
Mr Tan Chong Meng

Key Information regarding Directors

Key information on the Directors is set out on pages 18 to 25.
Board Performance
Principle 5:
There should be a formal assessment of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the contribution by each director to the
effectiveness of the Board.
The Board has established and implemented a formal process for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the
contribution by each Director to the effectiveness of the Board.
An independent consultant is engaged to facilitate the implementation of a process for evaluating the effectiveness of the Board
as a whole and the Board Committees. Engaging an independent third party ensures objectivity and independence in the process.
All Directors are required to assess the performance of the Board and the Board Committees. Their assessment covers areas such as
Board composition, Board processes, managing the Companys performance, Board Committee effectiveness, and any specific areas
where improvements may be made.
Through interviews conducted on the Directors, feedback and comments received are then collated and analysed by the consultant.
Its findings of the performance evaluation (including such feedback and comments received from the Directors) are then reviewed
by the Nominating Committee, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board.
Following the review, the Board is of the view that the Board and its Committees operate effectively and each Director is contributing
to the overall effectiveness of the Board.
83
Access to Information
Principle 6:
In order to fulfill their responsibilities, Board members should be provided with complete, adequate and timely information prior to
Board meetings and on an on-going basis.
Management provides the Board with detailed Board papers, specifying relevant information and justifications for each proposal for
which Board approval is sought. Such information include relevant financial forecasts, new opportunities, risks analyses, mitigation
strategies, feasibility studies and key commercial issues for the Boards attention and consideration. Reports on major operational
matters, business development activities, financial performance, potential investment opportunities and budgets are also circulated
to the Board.
A calendar of activities is scheduled for the Board a year in advance, with Board papers and agenda items dispatched to the Directors
a week before scheduled meetings. This is to give Directors sufficient time to review and consider the matters being tabled and/or
discussed so that discussions can be more meaningful and productive. Senior Management is requested to attend Board meetings
to provide additional insights into matters being discussed, and to respond to any queries that the Directors may have. In addition
to the forum of Board meetings, the Board also has separate and independent access to the Companys senior Management and
the Company Secretary.
The Company Secretary attends all Board meetings, ensures that Board procedures are complied with, and provides advice and
guidance on corporate governance, and on legal and regulatory compliance. Under the direction of the Chairman, the Company
Secretary facilitates and acts as a channel of communications for the smooth flow of information to and within the Board and
its various Committees, as well as between and with senior Management. The Company Secretary also solicits and consolidates
Directors feedback and evaluation from time to time, and arranges for and facilitates orientation programmes for new Directors and
assists with their professional development as required. The Company Secretary is the Companys primary channel of communication
with the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST).
The Directors whether collectively or individually may, at the Companys expense, seek and obtain independent professional
advice where necessary to discharge its or their duties effectively.
Remuneration Matters
Principle 7:
There should be a formal and transparent procedure for developing policy on executive remuneration and for fixing the remuneration
packages of individual directors. No director should be involved in deciding his own remuneration.
Remuneration & Staff Establishment Committee (RSEC)
The RSEC is made up of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom, including the Chairman, are independent Directors.
It comprises the following members:
Mr Ho Tian Yee
Mr Soon Tit Koon
Chairman
Member
Member
The key responsibility of the RSEC is to assist the Board in establishing a formal and transparent process for developing policies
on executive remuneration and development. Such policies are submitted to the Board for approval. The RSEC also determines
remuneration packages and service terms of individual Directors and the CEOs of the Companys three business divisions.
In discharging its duties, the RSEC reviews and makes recommendations on the remuneration framework for the Board and senior
Management.
On an annual basis, the RSEC also reviews the level and mix of remuneration and benefits policies and practices of the Company,
including the long-term incentive schemes. In undertaking such reviews, the RSEC takes into consideration the performance of the
Company and that of individual employees. It also reviews and approves the framework for salary reviews, performance bonus and
incentives for senior Management of the F&N Group.
The RSEC conducts an annual review of the development and succession plans for senior Management and the leadership pipeline
for the Company, and aligns through appropriate remuneration and benefits policies and long-term incentive schemes the CEOs
leadership with the Companys strategic objectives and key challenges. It also sets performance targets for the CEOs and evaluates
their performances annually.
84

Remuneration Matters (contd)

The RSEC may from time to time, and where necessary or required, seek advice from external consultants in framing the remuneration
policy and determining the level and mix of remuneration for Directors and Management, so that the Company remains competitive
in this regard.
Level and Mix of Remuneration

Principle 8:
The level of remuneration should be appropriate to attract, retain and motivate the directors needed to run the company successfully
but companies should avoid paying more than is necessary for this purpose. A significant proportion of executive directors
remuneration should be structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance.
In recommending the level and mix of remuneration, the RSEC seeks to build, motivate and retain Directors and key Management.
It ensures that competitive remuneration policies and practices are in place to draw and motivate high-performing executives so as
to drive the Groups businesses to greater growth, efficiency and profitability. In its deliberation, the RSEC takes into consideration
industry practices and benchmarks against relevant industry players to ensure that its remuneration and employment conditions
are competitive.
The Companys compensation framework comprises fixed pay and short-term and long-term incentives. The Company subscribes
to linking executive remuneration to corporate and individual performance, based on an annual appraisal of employees and using
indicators such as core values, competencies, key result areas, performance rating, and potential of the employees. Long-term
incentive schemes are put in place to motivate and reward employees and align their interests to maximise longterm Shareholder
value.
Long Term Incentive Plans
The RSEC also administers the Companys share-based remuneration incentive plans, namely, the F&N Executive Share Option
Scheme (F&N ESOS), Restricted Share Plan and Performance Share Plan.
At an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 22 January 2009, the Company adopted the Restricted Share
Plan (RSP) and Performance Share Plan (PSP) in lieu of the F&N ESOS. The last grant under the F&N ESOS was made on
25 November 2008. Options granted prior to the expiry of the F&N ESOS will continue to be valid and be subject to the terms and
conditions of the F&N ESOS.
Through the RSP and PSP, the Company seeks to foster a greater ownership culture within the F&N Group by aligning more
directly the interests of key senior Management and senior executives with the interest of Shareholders, and for such employees to
participate and share in the Groups growth and success.
The RSP is available to a broader base of senior executives compared to the PSP. Its objectives are to increase the Companys
flexibility and effectiveness in its continuing efforts to attract, motivate and retain talented senior executives and to reward these
executives for the performance of the Company and that of the individual. The PSP targets senior Management in key positions
who shoulder the responsibility of the Companys performance and who are able to drive the growth of the Company through
superior performance. It serves as further motivation to key senior Management in striving for excellence and delivering long-term
Shareholder value.
Under the RSP and PSP, the Company grants share-based awards (Base Awards) conditional upon pre-determined targets
being met. Pre-determined targets for RSP and PSP are set over a two-year and a three-year performance period respectively.
The Awards represent the right to receive fully paid shares, their equivalent cash value or a combination thereof, free of charge,
provided certain prescribed performance conditions are met. The final number of shares to be released will depend on the
achievement of the pre-determined targets at the end of the performance period. If such targets are met and/or exceeded,
more shares than the Base Awards can be delivered, subject to a maximum percentage of the Base Awards. The first grant of Base
Awards was made in December 2009.
The maximum number of Company shares which can be released, when aggregated with the number of new shares issued pursuant
to the vesting of awards under the RSP and PSP (excluding shares exercised under the F&N ESOS) will not exceed ten percent (10%)
of the issued share capital of the Company.
85

Disclosure on Remuneration
Principle 9:
Each company should provide clear disclosure of its remuneration policy, level and mix of remuneration, and the procedure for
setting remuneration in the companys 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 executives, and performance.

In view of above proposed changes, Shareholders approval will be sought at the 113th AGM of the Company on 27 January 2012,
for the payment of Directors fees proposed for the financial year ending 30 September 2012 amounting to $2.9 million (last year:
$2.7 million).
For better alignment with Shareholders interests, Directors are encouraged to purchase the Companys shares from the open
market and to hold the equivalent of one years fees in such shares while they remain on the Board, subject to their compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
87
Accountability and Audit

Principle 10:
The Board should present a balanced and understandable assessment of the Companys performance, position and prospects.
F&N prepares its financial statements in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS) prescribed by the
Accounting Standards Council. The Board provides Shareholders with quarterly and annual reports, and releases its quarterly and
full year financial results through announcements to the SGX-ST and, where appropriate, press releases and media and analysts
briefings. In communicating and disseminating its results, F&N aims to present a balanced and clear assessment of the Groups
performance, position and prospects.
Audit Committee
Principle 11:
The Board should establish an Audit Committee with written terms of reference which clearly set out its authority and duties.
The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, undertakes the monitoring and review of the system of internal controls. Its main
responsibilities are to assist the Board in the discharge of its oversight responsibilities in the areas of internal controls, financial and
accounting practices, operational and compliance controls, and corporate and financial risk management. Significant findings are
reported to the Board.
The Audit Committee is guided by written Terms of Reference endorsed by the Board and which set out its duties and responsibilities.
It is duly authorised to investigate any matter within such Terms of Reference, and has full access to and the co-operation of
Management, as well as the full discretion to invite any Director or executive officer to attend its meetings.
The Audit Committee comprises the following four members:
Mr Koh Beng Seng
Mr Tan Chong Meng
Chairman
Member
Member
Member
All the members, including the Chairman, are independent non-executive Directors. The members of the Audit Committee are
appropriately qualified. Their collective wealth of experience and expertise on accounting and financial management enables them
to discharge their responsibilities competently. The Audit Committee has reasonable resources to enable it to discharge its functions
effectively.
During the year, the key activities of the Audit Committee included the following:
Reviewing the quarterly and full-year financial results and related SGX announcements, including significant financial reporting
issues and assessments, to safeguard the integrity in financial reporting, and to ensure compliance with the requirements of
the SFRS
Approving, on behalf of the Board, the 1st and 3rd Quarter financial results and corresponding SGX-ST announcements
Recommending, for the approval of the Board, the half-year and annual financial results and related SGX-ST announcements
Reviewing and evaluating with internal and external auditors, the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control systems,
including financial, operational and compliance controls, and risk management policies and framework

Reviewing with internal and external auditors, the audit report and their recommendations, and monitoring the timely and proper
implementation of any required corrective or improvement measures
Reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Groups internal audit function, including the adequacy of internal audit
resources and its appropriate standing within the Group
Reviewing whistle-blowing investigations within the Group and ensuring appropriate follow-up actions, if required
88

Accountability and Audit (contd)

The Audit Committee also meets with internal and external auditors without the presence of Management at least once a year to
obtain feedback on the competency and adequacy of the finance function and to ascertain if there are any material weaknesses or
control deficiencies in the Groups financial reporting and operational systems.
The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board for approval by Shareholders, the appointment, re-appointment and
removal of the Companys external auditors. It also reviews and approves the remuneration and terms of engagement of the external
auditors.
During the year, the Audit Committee conducted a review of the scope and results of audit by the incumbent auditors and its
cost effectiveness, as well as the independence and objectivity of the auditors. It also reviewed all non-audit services provided
by the incumbent auditors, and the aggregate amount of audit fees paid to them. For details of fees payable to the auditors in
respect of audit and non-audit services, please refer to Note 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements on page 130. The Audit
Committee is satisfied that neither their independence nor their objectivity is put at risk, and that they are still able to meet the
audit requirements and statutory obligations of the Company. It is also satisfied with the aggregate amount of audit fees paid to
the auditors. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has recommended the re-appointment of the external auditors at the AGM of
the Company. In recommending the re-appointment of the auditors, the Audit Committee considered and reviewed a variety of
factors including adequacy of resources, experience of supervisory and professional staff to be assigned to the audit, and size and
complexity of the Group, its businesses and operations.
The Board through the Audit Committee reviews the adequacy of the Groups risk management framework to ensure that
robust risk management and internal controls are in place. The Company has adopted an enterprise-wide risk management (ERM)
framework to enhance its risk management capabilities. Key risks, control measures and management actions are continually
identified, reviewed and monitored as part of the ERM process. Financial and operational key risk indicators are in place to track
key risk exposures. Apart from the ERM process, key business risks are thoroughly assessed by Management and each significant
transaction is comprehensively analysed so that Management understands the risks involved before it is embarked upon.
Periodic updates are provided to the Audit Committee on the Groups risk profile. These updates include the assessment of the
Groups key risks by major business units, risk categories, and the status and changes in plans undertaken by Management to
manage key risks.
An outline of the ERM framework and progress report is set out on page 76.
Internal Controls
Principle 12:
The Board should ensure that the Management maintains a sound system of internal controls to safeguard the shareholders
investments and the companys assets.
The Company maintains a sound internal control system with a view to safeguard its assets and Shareholders investments.
The Audit Committee, through the assistance of internal and external auditors, reviews and reports to the Board on the adequacy
of the Companys system of controls, including financial, operational and compliance controls, and risk management policies and
systems established by Management. In assessing the effectiveness of internal controls, the Audit Committee ensures primarily that
key objectives are met, material assets are properly safeguarded, fraud or errors in the accounting records are prevented or detected,
accounting records are accurate and complete, and reliable financial information is prepared in compliance with applicable internal
policies, laws and regulations.
The importance and emphasis placed by the F&N Group on internal controls is underpinned by the fact that the key performance
indicators for Managements performance takes into account the findings of both internal and external auditors and the number of
unresolved or outstanding issues raised in the process.
The Board is satisfied that the Companys framework of internal controls is adequate to provide reasonable assurance of the integrity,
effectiveness and efficiency of the Company in safeguarding its assets and Shareholders investments. Such framework serves to
provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss.

Accountability and Audit (contd)

Whistle-Blowing Policy
The Group has in place a Whistle-Blowing Policy. This Policy provides an independent feedback channel through which matters of
concern about possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting or other matters may be raised in confidence and in good
faith, without fear of reprisal. Details of this policy have been disseminated and made available to all employees of the Company.
All matters which are raised are then independently investigated and appropriate actions taken. The Audit Committee ensures that
independent investigations and any appropriate follow-up actions are carried out.
Internal Audit
Principle 13:
The company should establish an internal audit function that is independent of the activities it audits.
The Internal Audit Department is an independent function within the Company. It conducts objective and independent assessments
on the adequacy and quality of the Groups system of internal controls. The Head of Internal Audit, who is a Certified Public
Accountant, reports directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and administratively, to the Group Company Secretary.
The Head of Internal Audit and most of the internal audit staff are members of the Institute of Internal Auditors, Singapore and the
department has adopted and complied with the Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing set by the Institute of
Internal Auditors. To ensure that the internal audits are effectively performed, it recruits and employs suitably qualified staff with the
requisite skills and experience. Such staff are also given relevant training and development opportunities to update their technical
knowledge and auditing skills. Key staff members of the Internal Audit Department also receive relevant technical training and
seminars organised by the Institute of Internal Auditors, Singapore and other professional bodies.
The Internal Audit Department operates within the framework stated in its Terms of Reference, which is approved by the Audit
Committee. It adopts a risk-based audit methodology to develop its audit plans, and its activities are aligned to key risks of the
F&N Group. Based on risk assessments performed, greater focus and appropriate review intervals are set for higher risk activities,
and material internal controls, including compliance with the Companys policies, procedures and regulatory responsibilities.
During the year, the Internal Audit Department conducted its audit reviews based on the approved internal audit plans. All audit
reports detailing audit findings and recommendations are provided to Management who would respond on the actions to be taken.
Each quarter, the Internal Audit Department would submit to the Audit Committee a report on the status of the audit plan and on
audit findings and actions taken by Management on such findings. Key findings are highlighted at the Audit Committee meetings
for discussion and follow-up action. The Audit Committee monitors the timely and proper implementation of required corrective,
preventive or improvement measures undertaken by Management.
The Audit Committee is satisfied that that the Internal Audit Department has adequate resources and appropriate standing within
the Company to perform its function effectively.
Communication with Shareholders

Principle 14:
Companies should engage in regular, effective and fair communication with shareholders.
The Company prides itself on its high standards of disclosure and corporate transparency. It aims to provide fair, relevant, comprehensive
and timely information regarding the Groups performance and progress to Shareholders and the investment community to enable
them to make informed investment decisions. The Groups dedicated Investor Relations (IR) team is tasked with and focuses on
facilitating communications between the Company and its Shareholders, as well as with the investment community.
The IR team communicates regularly with Shareholders and the investment community, with timely disclosures of material and other
pertinent information, through regular dialogues and announcements to SGX-ST. The team conducts roadshows (together with
key senior Management), and participates in investor seminars and conferences to keep the market and investors apprised of the
F&N Groups corporate developments and financial performance. During the year, the IR team, together with senior Management,
engaged with more than 400 Singapore and foreign investors at conferences, non-deal roadshows as well as one-on-one and
group meetings. The aim of such engagements is to provide Shareholders and investors prompt disclosure of relevant information,
90

Communication with Shareholders (contd)

to enable them to have a better understanding of the Companys businesses and performance. Briefings for the half-yearly and full
year results are also conducted for analysts and the media following the release of such results. The Company makes available all its
briefing materials to analysts and the media, its financial information, its annual reports and all announcements to the SGX-ST on its
website at www.fraserandneave.com, with contact details for investors to channel their comments and queries.
At the Investors Choice Awards 2011 organised by the Securities Investors Association (Singapore), the Companys continuing
efforts and aspirations in attaining and surpassing high standards of corporate governance was affirmed with the winning of
two awards. It won the Singapore Corporate Governance Award 2011 (Mainboard) and was runner-up for the Most Transparent
Company Award in the Multi-Industry/Conglomerate category.
Further details on IRs activities and responsibilities during the year can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Annual
Report on page 65.
Greater Shareholder Participation

Principle 15:
Companies should encourage greater shareholder participation at AGMs, and allow shareholders the opportunity to communicate
their views on various matters affecting the company.
The Board supports and encourages active Shareholder participation at AGMs. It believes that general meetings serve as an opportune
forum for Shareholders to meet the Board and senior Management, and to interact with them.
The Companys Articles of Association allows all Shareholders the right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf in
Shareholders meetings. A copy of the Annual Report and notice of AGM are sent to all Shareholders. Separate resolutions are
proposed on each substantially separate issue at the meeting. Shareholders are given the opportunity to raise questions and clarify
any issues that they may have relating to the resolutions to be passed.
Board members and senior Management are present at each Shareholders meeting to respond to any questions from Shareholders.
The Companys external auditors are also present to address queries about the conduct of audit and the preparation and content of
the auditors report.
For greater transparency, F&N has implemented electronic poll voting since its 2010 AGM. This entails Shareholders being invited
to vote on each of the resolutions by poll, using an electronic voting system (instead of voting by hands), thereby allowing all
Shareholders present or represented at the meeting to vote on a one share, one vote basis. The voting results of all votes cast for,
or against, each resolution is then screened at the meeting and announced to the SGX-ST after the meeting. The Company will
continue to use the electronic poll voting system at the forthcoming AGM.
Code of Business Conduct
F&N has in place a Code of Business Conduct which sets out the business practices, standards and ethical conduct expected of all
employees in the course of their employment with the F&N Group. The Code is disseminated and distributed to all employees for
compliance, and covers such aspects of the business operations of the Group as conflicts of interest and dealings with government
officials, government employees, and suppliers and customers of the Company. In addition, Directors, officers and employees are
required to observe and maintain high standards of integrity in carrying out their roles and responsibilities, and to comply with
relevant and applicable laws and regulations, as well as with Company policies.
Listing Rule 1207 sub-Rule (19) on Dealings in Securities
In compliance with Listing Rule 1207 sub-Rule (19) of the SGX-ST Listing Manual, the Group issues quarterly reminders to its
Directors, officers and employees on the restrictions in dealings in listed securities of the Group during the period commencing
(i) two weeks prior to the announcement of financial results of each of the first three quarters of the financial year, and (ii) one month
before the announcement of full year results, and ending on the date of such announcements. Directors, officers and employees are
also reminded not to trade in listed securities of the Group at any time while in possession of unpublished price sensitive information
and to refrain from dealing in the Groups securities on short-term considerations.

SHARE OPTIONS AND SHARE PLANS (contd)

Restricted Share Plan (RSP) and Performance Share Plan (PSP)
The Company introduced Restricted Share Plan (RSP) and Performance Share Plan (PSP) to replace the 1999 Scheme.
The RSP and PSP were approved by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on
22 January 2009.
The RSP and PSP are administered by the Remuneration & Staff Establishment Committee which comprises the following
three non-executive directors who do not participate in the Share Plans:

Mr Ho Tian Yee
Mr Soon Tit Koon
Share Grants Under RSP and PSP
(Chairman)
Under the RSP and PSP, the Company grants shares to eligible participants annually, referred to herein as RSP Shares
and PSP Shares, respectively. The grant (Base Award) represents the right to receive fully paid shares, their equivalent
cash value or combinations thereof, free of charge, provided that certain prescribed performance conditions are met.
The Remuneration & Staff Establishment Committee that administers this scheme has absolute discretion in the granting
of shares under the RSP and PSP. The RSP Base Award is conditional on the achievement of pre-determined targets set for
a two-year performance period and the PSP Base Award is conditional on the achievement of pre-determined targets set
for a three-year performance period. The final number of RSP Shares and PSP Shares to be awarded will be determined at
the end of the relevant performance period (Final Award).
The Final Award varies depending on the level of achievement of the pre-determined targets. An achievement factor will
be applied to the relevant Base Award to determine the final number of RSP Shares and PSP Shares (as the case may be)
to be awarded. The achievement factor ranges from 0% to 150% for RSP and from 0% to 200% for PSP.
At the end of the performance period, 50% of the RSP Shares will be released upon vesting and the balance will be released
equally over the subsequent two years with fulfillment of service requirements.
All PSP Shares will be released to the participants at the end of the three-year performance period upon vesting.
Pre-determined targets are set by the Remuneration & Staff Establishment Committee at their absolute discretion for
the performance conditions to be met over the performance period. For the RSP, the targets set are the achievement of
Attributable Profit Before Exceptional items (APBE) and Return On Capital Employed (ROCE). For the PSP, the pre-set targets
are based on Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), Total Shareholders Return Relative to Straits Times Index and Absolute
Shareholders Return as a multiple of Cost of Equity.
Senior management participants are required to hold a minimum number of the shares released to them under the RSP
and PSP to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Company for the duration of their employment or tenure with the
Company.
No awards have been granted to controlling shareholders or their associates under the RSP and PSP.
No awards have been granted to directors of the Company.

No employee has received 5% or more of the total number of shares available/delivered pursuant to grants under the RSP
and PSP.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF FRASER AND NEAVE, LIMITED
Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Fraser and Neave, Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the Group) set out on pages 104 to 206, which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and the Company as at
30 September 2011, the statements of changes in equity of the Group and the Company and the profit statement, statement of
comprehensive income and cash flow statement of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the
provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50 (the Act) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising
and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient 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 profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 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 whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the entitys preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet and statement of changes in equity 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 state of affairs of the Group and of the Company as at 30 September 2011 and the results,
changes in equity and cash flows of the Group and the changes in equity of the Company for the year ended on that date.
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 subsidiaries incorporated
in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following Notes form an integral part of the Financial Statements on pages 104 to 111.
1.
GENERAL
Fraser and Neave, Limited (the Company) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Singapore
and is listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The registered office of the Company is located at
438 Alexandra Road, #21-00 Alexandra Point, Singapore 119958.
The principal activities of the Group are:
(a)
production and sale of soft drinks, dairy products, beer and stout;
(b)
development of and investment in property; and
(c)
printing and publishing.
These activities are carried out through the Companys subsidiary, joint venture and associated companies to which the
Company provides management and administrative services.
There were no significant changes in the nature of these principal activities during the financial year.
The Companys operation is managed through a wholly-owned subsidiary company.
The financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group were authorised for issue
in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 15 November 2011.
2.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) as
required by the Companies Act, Cap. 50. The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as
disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand
($000) unless otherwise stated.
The Group and the Company have applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in the
preparation of the financial statements for the current financial year and are consistent with those used in the
previous financial year, except as disclosed below.

On 1 October 2010, the Group and the Company adopted all new and revised standards and interpretations of FRS
(INT FRS) that are mandatory for application from that date.
The adoption of these standards and interpretations had no material effect on the financial performance or position
of the Group and the Company.
2.2
Basis of Consolidation and Business Combinations
The Companys investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Subsidiary companies are those companies controlled by the Group. Subsidiary companies are consolidated from
the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until
the date that such control ceases. The financial year of the Company and all its subsidiary companies ends on
30 September unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial
statements of the Company and all its subsidiary companies made up to 30 September. The financial statements of
subsidiary companies are prepared using consistent accounting policies.
113

2.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)

2.2
Basis of Consolidation and Business Combinations (contd)

Acquisitions of subsidiary companies are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred
for the acquisition of a subsidiary company comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred,
equity interest issued by the Group and any contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date. Any change in the contingent consideration to be paid will be recognised in the profit statement.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
All intra group transactions, balances and unrealised gains are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised gains
resulting from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest
in associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Non-controlling interests in the acquiree is recognised on the acquisition date at the non-controlling interests
proportionate share of the acquiree net identifiable assets.
In business combinations achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are re-measured to fair
value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognised in the profit statement.
When a change in the Companys ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control over the subsidiary,
the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary including any goodwill are derecognised. Any retained interest in the entity
is remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest and its fair value is
recognised in the profit statement.
The accounting policy on goodwill on acquisition of subsidiary companies is included in Note 2.11(b).
Business combinations prior to 1 October 2010

Business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method. Transaction costs directly attributable to the
acquisition formed part of the acquisition costs.
Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Adjustments to those fair values
relating to previously held interests were treated as a revaluation and recognised in equity. Any additional acquired
interest did not affect previously recognised goodwill.
Contingent consideration was recognised if, and only if, the Group had a present obligation, the economic outflow
was more likely than not and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent measurements to the contingent
consideration affected goodwill.
Transactions with non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of
the Company, and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from equity attributable to owners
of the Company.
A change in ownership interest in subsidiary companies that do not result in a change of control is accounted for
as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests will be adjusted to
reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the
non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognised
directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.
A list of the Companys subsidiary companies is shown in Note 42.

2.3
Joint Venture Companies

A joint venture company (not being a subsidiary company) is a company in which the Group has a long-term interest
of not more than 50% of the equity and has a contractual agreement to jointly share the control with one or more
parties in the joint venture companys commercial and financial affairs.
The Group recognises its interest in joint venture companies using proportionate consolidation. The Group combines
its share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint venture companies with the similar items,
line by line, in its consolidated financial statements.
The joint venture is proportionately consolidated until the date on which the Group ceases to have joint control
over the joint venture. Joint venture companies (JVC) that are held by the Groups joint venture companies are
equity accounted for in accordance with the accounting policies of these joint venture companies. No adjustments
have been made at the Group to recognise the interest of these JVC using proportionate consolidation as the
contribution of these JVC to the Group are not material. Details of the Groups share of the consolidated results,
assets and liabilities of the JVC held by the Groups joint venture companies can be found in Note 15.
In the Companys separate financial statements, investments in joint venture companies are carried at cost less
impairment losses.
A list of the Companys joint venture companies is shown in Note 42.
2.4
Associated Companies
An associated company (not being a subsidiary company or joint venture company) is a company in which the
Group exercises significant influence over the financial and operating policy decisions.
The Groups investments in associated companies are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and
adjusted to recognise the Groups share of post-acquisition reserves of the associated companies. Investments in
associated companies include goodwill.
When the Groups share of losses in an associated company equals or exceeds its interest in the associated company,
the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the
associated company.
The Groups share of the operating results, exceptional items and fair value adjustment of investment properties
of associated companies are shown separately in the profit statement. The Groups share of other comprehensive
income is recognised in other comprehensive income. Net assets of the associated companies are included in the
consolidated financial statements under the equity method based on their latest audited financial statements except
where their financial periods do not end on 30 September, then management accounts to 30 September are used.
An associated company is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the date
the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associated company.
In the Companys separate financial statements, investments in associated companies are carried at cost less
impairment losses.
A list of the Companys associated companies is shown in Note 42.

2.5
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the
goods to the customer, which generally coincides with delivery and acceptance of the goods sold.

Revenue from sale of goods represents the invoiced value of net sales (including excise duties and net of trade
discounts).
Revenue on development properties held for sale represents the proportion of sales proceeds of the actual floor area
sold at the balance sheet date based on the percentage of completion method.
Revenue from completed properties held for sale is recognised upon signing of the sale and purchase agreement.
Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term commencing on the date from which the
lessee is entitled to exercise its right to use the leased asset.
Interest income is taken up on an accrual basis (using the effective interest method).
Dividend income is recognised when the Groups right to receive payment is established.
Other categories of revenue are taken up on an accrual basis.
2.6 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of
the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect
the current best estimate. Where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is the
present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.

2.7 Taxation
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the
profit statement except to the extent it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised
in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(a)
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount
are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
(b)
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Temporary differences are not recognised
for goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit,
and differences relating to investments in subsidiary, joint venture and associated companies to the extent
that the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be
utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced by
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of
the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
116

2.

2.7 Taxation (contd)

(b)
Deferred tax (contd)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted at or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
2.8
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an
asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for
its intended use. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of fixed assets if the
obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset.
Expenditure for additions, improvements and replacements are capitalised and expenditure for maintenance and
repairs are charged to the profit statement. Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed assets that has already been
recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess
of standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will flow to the Group and the cost
can be reliably measured, otherwise it is recognised as an expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.
The carrying amount of the replaced parts is derecognised.
An asset is derecognised upon sale or retirement and any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in
the profit statement. Any amount in revaluation reserve relating to that asset is transferred to revenue reserves.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets less residual
value over their estimated useful lives. No depreciation is charged for freehold land and capital work-in-progress.
The residual values, depreciation method and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each balance
sheet date. The annual depreciation rates applied to write down the fixed assets over their estimated useful lives
are as follows:
Leasehold land
Building
Plant, machinery and equipment
Motor vehicle and forklift
Postmix and vending machine
Furniture and fitting, computer equipment and beer cooler
-
-
-
-
-
-
Lease term (ranging from 10 to 99 years)

Lease term (ranging from 10 to 60 years)
2.5% to 33%
10% to 20%
10% to 20%
5% to 100%
Capital Work-in-Progress includes fixed assets under construction and advance payments and progress payments
made for fixed assets and are not depreciated until each stage of development is completed and becomes operational.
The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable.
117

2.

2.9
Investment Properties
(a)
Completed Investment Properties

Completed investment properties include those portions of office buildings that are held for long term rental
yields and/or for capital appreciation.
Completed investment properties are initially recognised at cost, including transaction cost and subsequently
carried at fair value, determined annually by independent professional valuers. Changes in fair values are
recognised in the profit statement.
Transfers are made to or from completed investment properties only when there is a change in use. For a
transfer from completed investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent
accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. For a transfer from owner-occupied property to
completed investment property, the property is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for
fixed assets up to the date of change in use.
On disposal of a completed investment property, the difference between the disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount is recognised in the profit statement.
(b)
Investment Property Under Construction

Investment properties under construction are initially stated at cost.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair values being recognised in the profit
statement when fair value can be measured reliably. Investment properties under construction for which fair
value cannot be determined reliably is measured at cost less impairment. Cost includes land and construction,
related overhead expenditure and financing charges incurred during the period of construction and up to
the completion of construction.

Investment properties under construction are considered completed and are transferred to completed
investment properties when they are ready for their intended use.
2.10 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. However, borrowing costs that are directly attributable to
acquisition and construction are capitalised as part of the cost of fixed assets, properties held for sale or properties
held for development. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when activities to prepare the assets are in
progress until the asset is ready for its intended use. Borrowing costs capitalised in property held for sale determined
after netting off interest income earned from progress billings received and placed on fixed deposits.
2.11 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Intangible assets from a business acquisition are
capitalised at fair value as at the date of acquisition. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at cost
less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss.
The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Amortisation charged on finite
intangible assets is taken to the profit statement as amortisation expense. Intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives are subjected to impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value might be impaired.
Internally generated goodwill and internally generated intangible assets arising from research are not capitalised
and the expenditure is charged to the profit statement when it is incurred. Deferred development costs arising from
deferred expenditure are recognised when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the
intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the
asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete and the ability
to measure reliably the expenditure during the development.
118

2.

2.11 Intangible Assets (contd)
Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value might be impaired. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where
applicable, are made on a prospective basis.
a)
Deferred publishing development costs are amortised in accordance with their estimated economic useful
lives, upon completion of published products as follows:
Curriculum General Reference

1st year
2nd year
3rd year
4th year
5th year
33%
33%
34%
-
-
50%
30%
20%
-
-
33%
27%
20%
13%
7%
At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated.
b)
Goodwill on acquisition is identified as being the excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration
transferred in the business combination, the amount of non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair
value of the Groups previously held equity interest in the acquiree, over the net fair value of the acquirees
identifiable assets and liabilities. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is
recognised as a gain in the profit statement on the acquisition date.
Positive goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. Goodwill is subjected to impairment
test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value might
be impaired.
Internally generated goodwill is not capitalised.
c)
Management contracts with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight line basis over an estimated useful
life of 8 years. Management contracts with indefinite useful lives are not amortised.
d)
Other intangible assets comprise licenses, web-content, software, customer relationships, and publishers
and distributor relationships. The licenses are amortised based on the remaining lives of the licensing
arrangements with the respective licensors. Customers, publishers and distributors relationships are
amortised over the remaining useful lives.

2.12 Brands
Brands with finite lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
They are assessed for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment. The useful life is also
examined on an annual basis and an adjustment, where applicable, is made on a prospective basis. Amortisation is
calculated to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives of up to 15 years on a straight-line method to the
profit statement.
Brands with indefinite lives are stated at cost less any impairment loss. The useful life of the brand is estimated to
be indefinite because based on the current market share of the brand, management believes there is no foreseeable
limit to the period over which the brand is expected to generate net cash flows to the Group. The indefinite useful
life is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues to be supportable. The brand is tested for impairment
annually or more frequently when indicators of impairment are identified.
Internally generated brands are not capitalised and the expenditure is charged against profit in the year in which
the expenditure is incurred.
119

2.

2.13 Properties Held For Sale

(a)
Development Properties Held for Sale
Development properties held for sale are stated at cost less allowance for foreseeable losses. The cost
includes cost of land and construction, related overhead expenditure and financing charges incurred during
the period of construction and up to the completion of construction.
Allowance for foreseeable losses is made when it is anticipated that the net realisable value has fallen below
cost.
Developments are considered complete upon the issue of Temporary Occupation Permit. When completed,
development properties held for sale are transferred to completed properties held for sale.
Profit on development properties held for sale is recognised on partly completed projects which have been
sold and is based on the percentage of completion and of sales method. The percentage of completion is
deemed to be the construction and related overhead costs incurred to the balance sheet date divided by the
expected construction and related costs of the project. The percentage of sales is deemed to be the floor
area sold at the balance sheet date divided by the floor area in the project offered for sale. Profit is taken
up on the basis of the total expected profit of the area sold multiplied by the percentage of completion, less
profit if any, taken up in previous financial periods. The expected profit is assessed having regard to the sale
proceeds less attributable total costs including the cost of land, construction and interest and after making
due allowance for known potential cost over-runs and allowance for contingencies.
Revenue on development properties held for sale represents the proportion of sales proceeds of the actual
floor area sold to the balance sheet date based on the percentage of completion.
Progress payments received from purchasers are shown as a deduction from the cost of the development
property held for sale.
(b)
Completed Properties Held for Sale
Completed properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes cost
of land and construction, related overhead expenditure, and financing charges and other net costs incurred
during the period of development.
Allowance for impairment is made when it is anticipated that the net realisable value has fallen below cost.
Revenue from completed properties held for sale is recognised when risks and rewards of the title have
passed to the purchaser and there is no uncertainty over the collection of the sales proceeds.
2.14 Inventories
All inventories including containers (comprising returnable bottles, cases and pallets) are stated at the lower of cost
and net realisable value. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less the cost of completion and selling expenses.
Cost in respect of raw materials, consumable stores and goods purchased for resale is stated based on first-in-firstout, weighted average or standard cost (which approximates average actual cost). Cost in respect of manufactured
inventories and work-in-progress includes attributable production overheads. Engineering and other inventories are
valued on the weighted average cost basis less appropriate allowances for obsolete items.

Soft drink container inventories comprise both containers on hand and those estimated to be in the market
at deposit values. Cost is amortised to deposit value over a period up to the containers expected useful life of
36 months for returnable bottles and 96 months for plastic crates.
120

2.

2.14 Inventories (contd)
Beer containers comprise returnable bottles and crates. Returnable bottles are valued at repurchase price/deposit
value (including freight where significant; and the difference between the original cost and repurchase price/deposit
value is written off over a period not exceeding 5 years) and crates are amortised over a period not exceeding
8 years; alternatively these assets are valued at net realisable value, if lower. Abnormally large purchases of bottles
are accounted for by writing off a portion of the cost in excess of repurchase price based on the estimated lifespan.
2.15 Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade receivables
is established when there is evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the
original terms of the receivables.
2.16 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in bank, deposits with financial institutions and bank overdrafts
that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value. Bank overdrafts are included in bank borrowings on the balance sheet.
2.17 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables, payables to related parties and interest-bearing loans and
borrowings. Financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value
of consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in the profit statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the
amortisation process. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires.
2.18 Employee Benefits
(a)
Retirement Benefits
Provision for retirement benefits is made in accordance with:
(i)
the terms of agreements concluded with various categories of employees, or
(ii)
pension and retirement benefit schemes, or
(iii)
defined contribution plans under statutory regulations in the country, where applicable.
Retirement Benefits in accordance with agreements

The provisions represent the present value of the amounts likely to become payable in respect of services
already rendered. An independent actuarial calculation of the provision is made every three years. Internal
calculation of the provision is made each intervening year on the same basis as those used for the independent
actuarial calculation.
Pension and Retirement Benefit Schemes

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefits plans are determined by using accrued or projected
benefit valuation methods as appropriate. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as income or expenses
when the cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains or losses for each plan exceeds the greater of 10% of
present value of the obligation and 10% of the fair value of plan assets. These gains or losses are recognised
over the average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plans.
121

2.

2.18 Employee Benefits (contd)
(a)
Retirement Benefits (contd)
Defined contribution plans under statutory regulations

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the profit
statement as incurred.
(b)
Equity Compensation Plans

Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share options and share awards as consideration
for services rendered.
(c)
(i)
Equity-settled transactions
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options or awards
is recognised as an expense in the profit statement with a corresponding increase in the employee
share-based payment reserve over the vesting period. The total amount to be recognised over the
vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options or awards on the date of
grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that
are expected to become exercisable on vesting date. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises
its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date.
It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the profit statement, and a
corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.
When the options are exercised and new ordinary shares issued, the proceeds received (net of
any directly attributable transaction costs) and the corresponding share-based payment reserve is
credited to share capital. For certain listed subsidiary companies which have treasury shares, the
proceeds received (net of any directly attributable transaction costs) and the corresponding share
option reserve is credited to the treasury share account when treasury shares purchased are
re-issued to the employees.
(ii)
Cash-settled transactions
The cost of phantom share options granted is measured initially at fair value at the grant date taking
into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Until the liability is
settled, it is remeasured at each reporting date and the fair value is expensed over the period till
vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability.
Accrued Annual Leave

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made
for the estimated liability for employee entitlements to annual leave as a result of services rendered by
employees up to the balance sheet date.
2.19 Functional and Foreign Currencies

(a)
Functional currency
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional
currency) is Singapore Dollars. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars,
which is the Companys functional and presentation currency.
122

2.

2.19 Functional and Foreign Currencies (contd)
(b)
Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currencies of the Company and the respective
subsidiary companies at rates of exchange approximating those ruling at transaction date. Foreign currency
monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling at that date.
Exchange differences are dealt with in the profit statement except where exchange differences arise on foreign
currency monetary items that in substance form part of the Groups net investment in the foreign entity.
These exchange differences are taken to exchange reserve as a separate component of the shareholders
funds until the disposal of the net investment at which time they are recognised in the profit statement.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using
the exchange rates as at the dates of initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in
a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Currency translation differences on equity investments held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported
as part of the fair value gain or loss. Currency translation differences on equity investments classified as
available-for-sale financial assets, are included in the fair value reserve within equity.
Currency translation differences arising from events which are treated as exceptional are dealt with as
exceptional items in the profit statement.
(c)
Foreign currency translations

On consolidation of subsidiary companies, proportionate consolidation for joint venture companies and
equity accounting for associated companies, profit statement items are translated into presentation currency
at average exchange rates ruling during the year and assets and liabilities are translated into presentation
currency at exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from translation
of foreign subsidiary companies, joint venture companies and associated companies are recognised in other
comprehensive income under exchange reserve as a separate component of the shareholders funds.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of exchange differences deferred in equity
relating to that foreign operation is recognised in the profit statement as a component of the gain or loss
on disposal.
In the case of a partial disposal without loss of control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation,
the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences are re-attributed to noncontrolling interest and are not recognised in profit or loss. For partial disposals of associates or jointly
controlled entities that are foreign operations, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange
differences is reclassified to profit statement.
2.20 Exceptional Items

Exceptional items are items of income and expense of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant
to explain the performance of the Group for the year.
2.21 Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is
recognised in the profit statement over the period necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs that
it is intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is recognised as deferred capital
grant and is amortised to the profit statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual
installments.
123

2.

2.22 Leases
(a)
As lessee
A finance lease which effectively transfers to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to
ownership of the leased item is capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased item and the present
value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as fixed asset.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged
directly to the profit statement. Contingent rents, if any, are expensed in the periods in which they are
incurred.
A lease where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased
item is classified as an operating lease. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profit
statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(b)
As lessor
A lease whereby the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the
leased item is classified as an operating lease. Properties leased out under operating leases are included in
investment properties and are stated at revalued amounts and not depreciated. Rental income (net of any
incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rents, if any,
are recorded as income in the periods in which they are earned.
(c)
Other long term asset
Other long term asset relates to the unguaranteed residual value which is the portion of the residual value of
the leased asset, the realisation of which by the lessor is not assured or is guaranteed solely by a party related
to the lessor. Estimated unguaranteed residual values used in computing the lessors gross investment in a
lease are reviewed regularly. If there has been a reduction in the estimated unguaranteed residual value,
the income allocation over the lease term is revised and any reduction in respect of amounts accrued is
recognised immediately.
2.23 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The carrying amounts of the Groups assets are reviewed at each reporting date or when annual impairment testing
is required, to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing,
the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an
individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other
assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. In assessing
value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment
loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Reversal of impairment losses previously recognised is recorded when the decrease in impairment loss can be
objectively related to an event occurring after the write down. The carrying amount is increased to its revised
recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years.
A reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the profit statement. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a
subsequent period.
124

2.

2.24 Financial Assets
(a) Classification
The classification of financial assets is determined at initial recognition. The Group classifies its investments
in financial assets in the following categories:

(b)
(i)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Derivative financial instruments whose fair value is positive are classified as financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss. The designation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is
irrevocable. The accounting policy for derivative financial instruments is included in Note 2.25.
(ii)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that
are not quoted in an active market.
(iii)
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
and fixed maturities that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
The Groups held-to-maturity investments include investments in corporate bonds.
(iv)
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or
not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless there is
intention to dispose of the assets within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to
purchase or sell the asset.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have
expired or when all risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred. On derecognition
of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of (a) the
consideration received and (b) any cumulative gain or loss recognised directly in equity is recognised in the
profit statement.
(c)
Initial measurement
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss, which are recognised at fair value.
(d)
Subsequent measurement
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently
carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss are included in the profit statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealised
gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in
other comprehensive income and accumulated under fair value reserve within equity.
When available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments in the
fair value reserve within equity will be released through the profit statement.
125

2.

2.24 Financial Assets (contd)
(e)
Determination of Fair Value

The fair value of quoted financial assets are based on current bid prices. Unquoted investments that do
not have quoted market prices in an active market nor methods of reasonably estimating the fair value,
are carried at cost.
(f) Impairment

(i)
Assets carried at amortised cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity
investments carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the
difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash
flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the
asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised
in the profit statement.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can
be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised
in the profit statement, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised
cost at the reversal date.
(ii)
Assets carried at cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is
not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of the loss
is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial
asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.
(iii)
Available-for-sale financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as
available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its
cost is considered in determining whether the investments are impaired. If any such evidence exists
for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the
acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously
recognised in the profit statement is removed from the fair value reserve within equity and recognised
in the profit statement. Impairment losses recognised in the profit statement on equity investments
are not reversed through the profit statement, until the equity investments are disposed of.
2.25 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company and the Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against risks associated with foreign
currency and interest rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to hedge its risks associated
primarily with foreign currency fluctuations. Interest rate swap contracts are used to hedge its risks associated with
interest rate fluctuations. It is the Groups policy not to trade in derivative financial instruments.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
re-measured at their fair value. The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that do not qualify for hedge
accounting are recognised directly in the profit statement.
The fair value of forward foreign currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward foreign exchange
rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by
reference to market values for similar instruments.
Derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are classified either as cash flow hedge or fair value hedge.
126

2.25 Derivative Financial Instruments (contd)
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to
which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedge item or transaction,
the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instruments effectiveness in offsetting
the exposure to changes in the hedged items fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges
are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial
reporting periods for which they were designated.
Hedges which meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
(a)
Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges are hedges of the exposure to the variability of cash flow that is attributable to a particular
risk associated with a recognised asset or liability that could affect profit statements.

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised
directly in hedging reserves within equity, while the ineffective portion is recognised in the profit statement.
Amounts taken to hedging reserves are transferred to the profit statement when the hedged transaction
affects the profit statement, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised
or when a forecast sale or purchase occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset
or liability, the amounts taken to hedging reserves are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the
non-financial asset or liability.
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in hedging reserves
are transferred to the profit statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised
without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognised in
hedging reserves remain in hedging reserves until the forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction
is not expected to occur, the amount is taken to the profit statement.
(b)
Fair value hedges

Fair value hedges are hedges of the exposure to the variability of fair value that is attributable to a particular
risk associated with a recognised asset or liability that could affect the profit statement.
For fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in the profit statement.
The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the
carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognised to profit statement.
When an unrecognised firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change
in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognised as an asset or liability
with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in the profit statement.
2.26 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and assumptions concerning the future are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They
affect the application of the Groups accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an ongoing basis and are based on experience and relevant
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(a)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance
sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

2.26 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (contd)
(a)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (contd)
(i)
Impairment of non-financial and financial assets
Development/completed properties held for sale

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for non-financial assets at each
reporting date. In particular, allowance for foreseeable losses/impairment is made for development/
completed properties held for sale when the net realisable value has fallen below cost. In arriving at
estimates of net realisable values, management considered factors such as current market conditions,
recent selling prices of the development properties and comparable development properties.
The allowance for foreseeable losses has been disclosed in Note 23. The carrying amounts of the
properties held for sale at balance sheet date is disclosed in the balance sheet.
Goodwill, brands and management contracts

Goodwill, brands and management contracts are tested for impairment at least on an annual basis.
This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill,
brands and management contracts are allocated. Estimating the value in cash requires the Group to
make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose
a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying
amount of the goodwill, brands and management contracts at balance sheet date is disclosed in
Note 17 and Note 22.
Investment in joint venture and associated companies

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that investment
in joint venture and associated companies are impaired. Where there is objective evidence of
impairment, the recoverable amount is estimated based on the higher of the value-in-use and the
fair value less costs to sell. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of
the expected future cash flows to be generated by the associated companies and also to choose
a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows which reflects
the risk profile of the investee and economic assumptions regarding the industry and geographical
jurisdiction in which the investee operates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could
affect recoverable amount of investee. The carrying amount of the investment in joint venture and
associated companies at balance sheet date have been disclosed in the balance sheet.
Investment in available-for-sale financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that any
available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of
impairment, the Group considers factors such as the market condition and whether there is a
significant or prolonged decline in the values of these financial assets.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment for quoted available-for-sale financial assets,
the difference between the cost and current fair value is recognised as impairment loss. Where there
is objective evidence of impairment for unquoted available-for-sale financial assets, the recoverable
value is estimated based on the amount and timing of the future cash flows.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a loan
or receivable is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group
considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor
and default or significant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are
estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics.

(a)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (contd)
(ii)
Income taxes
The Group has exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is involved
in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for
which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group
recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be
due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period
in which such determination is made. The carrying amounts of taxation and deferred taxation at
balance sheet date are disclosed in the balance sheet.
(iii)
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue and cost of sales from partly completed development properties held
for sale based on the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion is measured in
accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.13. Estimates are required in determining
the total estimated development costs which will affect the stage of completion. In making
the assumption, the Group relies on past experience and the work of specialists. Revenue from
development properties held for sale is $1,831,418,000 (2010: $1,619,675,000) as disclosed in
Note 3.
(iv)
Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management
estimates the useful lives of these fixed assets to be within 1 to 99 years. Changes in the expected
level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the
residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying
amount of the fixed assets at balance sheet date is disclosed in the balance sheet.
(v)
Valuation of Completed Investment Properties
The Groups completed investment properties are stated at their estimated market values,
which are determined annually based on independent professional valuations. These estimated
market values may differ from the prices at which the Groups completed investment properties
could be sold at a particular time, since actual selling prices are negotiated between willing buyers
and sellers. Also, certain estimates require an assessment of factors not within the directors
control, such as overall market conditions. As a result, actual results of operations and realisation of
these completed investment properties could differ from the estimates set forth in these financial
statements, and the differences could be significant. The carrying amount of the investment
properties at balance sheet date is disclosed in the balance sheet.
(vi)
Valuation of Investment Properties Under Construction
The Groups investment properties under construction are stated at fair value if it can be reliably
determined. If fair value cannot be reliably determined, then investment properties under construction
is determined using either the Discounted Cash Flow Method or the Residual Method. However,
using either method to value investment properties under construction also requires considering
the significant risks which are relevant to the development process, including but not limited to
construction and letting risks.
129

(b)
Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies

Management is of the opinion that the instances of application of judgement are not expected to have
a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, apart from those involving
estimates.
2.27 Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities held for sale
A component of the Group is classified as a discontinued operation when the criteria to be classified as held-forsale have been met or it has been disposed of and such a component represents a separate major line of business
or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated major line of business or geographical area of
operations. A component is deemed to be held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through
a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly
probable and the asset or component is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of
the assets (or all the assets and liabilities in the group) are measured in accordance with the applicable FRSs. Upon
classification as held for sale, non-current assets and disposal groups are not depreciated and are measured at the
lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any differences are recognised in the profit statement.
Any impairment loss on initial classification and subsequent measurement is recognised as expense. Any subsequent
increase in fair value less costs to sell (not exceeding the accumulated impairment loss that has been previously
recognised) is recognised in the profit statement.
In the profit statement of the current reporting period, and of the comparative period, all income and expenses from
discontinued operations are reported separate from income and expenses from continuing activities.

All intangible assets have finite useful lives of not more than 20 years, except management contracts with a cost of
$62,601,000 (2010: $62,601,000) are assessed to have an indefinite useful life and not amortised. This is the value
ascribed to management contracts entered into between a subsidiary company and an associated company. Management
is of the view that these intangible assets have an indefinite useful life as the contracts are contracts which go into
perpetuity, and will only be terminated upon the removal of the subsidiary company as the manager.

The remaining useful life of management contracts with finite useful life is 4 (2010: 5) years.

Goodwill is allocated for impairment testing purposes to the individual entity which is also the cash generating unit.
The value-in-use calculations apply a discounted cash flow model using cash flow projections based on financial
budgets and forecasts approved by management covering 3 to 5 year periods. Cash flows beyond these periods are
extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated in the table above. The fair value less costs to sell calculations
are based on quoted market prices obtained from active markets.

The terminal growth rate used does not exceed the long term average growth rate of the respective industry and
country in which the entity operates.

The discount rates applied to the cash flow projections reflect managements estimates of the risks specific to the
respective cash generating units at the date of assessment.

An impairment loss of $NIL (2010: $745,000) was required for the financial years ended 30 September for the
goodwill assessed.

18. IMPAIRMENT TESTS FOR INTANGIBLE ASSETS (contd)

(b)
Management contracts

The carrying value of the management contracts was assessed for impairment during the financial year.

The recoverable amount of the management contract has been determined based on value-in-use calculations
using a projection of the management fee income covering a 5 year period. The pre-tax discount applied to the
projections is 10% and the forecast growth rate used beyond the 5 year period is 2%.

No impairment loss was required for the management contracts assessed as their recoverable values were in excess
of their carrying values.

(c)
Deferred development costs

The carrying value of deferred development costs was assessed for impairment during the financial year.

An impairment loss of $1,307,000 (2010: $300,000) was recognised in the profit statement as the carrying value
was assessed to be in excess of its recoverable value.

The recoverable amount of the deferred development costs has been determined based on value-in-use calculations
using 5 year cash flow projection approved by management. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow
projections was 5.8% - 7.5% (2010: 5.8% - 7.5%) and the terminal growth rate was 0% (2010: 0%).

(a)
Contingent Liabilities
The Company issued corporate guarantees to the extent of $4,249,514,000 (2010: $3,837,303,000) for the purpose
of assisting its subsidiary companies to obtain external borrowings. Of the $4,249,514,000 (2010: $3,837,303,000)
corporate guarantees given by the Company $3,704,835,000 (2010: $1,647,310,000) has been utilised by its
subsidiaries as security for its borrowings, and these borrowings have been included as borrowings under the
Group Balance Sheet. Any further borrowings by its subsidiary companies supported by the Company corporate
guarantees will be reported as borrowings in the Group Balance Sheet.

The Group provided an unconditional and irrevocable corporate guarantee for up to $57,000,000 to finance
the payment of development charge and construction cost of the New Wing of The Centrepoint held by
The Management Corporation Strata Title Plan No. 1298 (MCST 1298). The corporate guarantee will only be
discharged upon full repayment of the loan by the MCST 1298. The Group also provided a corporate guarantee for
$8,340,000 (Baht 200,000,000) as security for bank facility granted to a joint venture company in respect of the
acquisition of land.
The corporate guarantee of the Group and the Company matures within 1 year and are as follows:

As announced on 9 June 2010, the Group through Fraser Centrepoint Limiteds subsidiary company, Frasers Property
(China) Limited (FPCL) has reached a preliminary settlement with the relevant Shenzhen authorities in relation to
the future development plans for the Phase 3 site of its Vision Shenzhen Business Park project located in Shenzhen,
the Peoples Republic of China. Currently, the project has not been recognised as the recoverability does not meet
certainty criteria. On signing the ancillary agreements with finalised land planning parameters with the authorities,
the project will be recognised at approximately HK$217,000,000 (or approximately $36,152,000).
37. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company and the Group are exposed to financial risks, including primarily the effects of changes in currency exchange
rates and interest rates and use derivatives and other instruments in connection with their risk management activities. The
Company and the Group do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Group has established processes to monitor and control hedging transactions in a timely and accurate manner.

These policies are reviewed regularly by the Audit and Executive Committees to ensure that the Groups policies and
guidelines are adhered to. The Groups accounting policies in relation to derivatives are set out in Note 2.

174

37. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (contd)

(a)
Foreign Currency Risk

The Group has exposure to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions denominated in foreign currencies,
arising from normal trading and investment activities. Where exposures are certain, it is the Groups policy to hedge
these risks as they arise. For those exposures less certain in their timing and extent, it is the Groups policy to cover
50% to 90% of anticipated exposures for a maximum period of 12 months forward. The Group uses foreign
currency forward exchange contracts to manage these foreign exchange risks.

At 30 September 2011, the Group had entered into foreign currency forward exchange buy contracts amounting
to $87 million (2010: $72 million) and sell contracts amounting to $453 million (2010: $212 million). The fair value
adjustments of the buy contracts and sell contracts (which is the difference between the notional principal amount
and market value of the contracts) are loss of $774,000 (2010: $3,715,000) and gain of $2,991,000 (2010: loss of
$3,583,000) respectively.

The fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts have been calculated using rates quoted by the
Groups bankers to terminate the contracts at the balance sheet date.
Sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Groups total equity and the Groups profit net of tax to a
reasonably possible 10% strengthening of the Australian Dollar, Sterling Pound, United States Dollar, Vietnamese
Dong, Hong Kong Dollar, Euro and Singapore Dollar exchange rates against the respective functional currencies of
the Group entities, with all other variables held constant.

(b)
Liquidity Risk
The Companys and the Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises in the general funding of the Companys and
the Groups business activities. It includes the risks of being able to fund business activities in a timely manner.

The Group adopts a prudent approach to managing its liquidity risk. The Group always maintain sufficient cash and
marketable securities, and have available funding through diverse sources of committed and uncommitted credit
facilities from various banks.

The table below analyses the maturity profile of the Groups and Companys financial liabilities (including derivative
financial instruments) based on contractual undiscounted cash flows.

The Company and the Group have no significant concentration of credit risk. The Company and the Group have
policies in place to monitor its credit risk. Contractual deposits are collected and scheduled progress payments are
received from the buyers when due. Title to properties are only transferred upon full settlement. Sales of products
and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history.

Cash and fixed deposits are placed in banks and financial institutions which are regulated. The Group limits its credit
risk exposure in respect of investments by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have
a sound credit rating. Management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired and aging analysis is disclosed in Note 25.
Management believes that no additional credit risk beyond that provided for is inherent in the Groups trade and
other receivables.

With respect to derivative financial instruments, credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet
their obligations under the contract or arrangement. The Groups total credit risk exposure for foreign exchange
contracts and interest rate swap contracts are limited to the fair value adjustments of these contracts. It is the
Companys and the Groups policy to enter into financial instruments with a diversity of credit worthy counterparties.
The Company and the Group do not expect to incur material credit losses on their financial assets or other financial
instruments.

The Company and the Group do not have significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty.

178


(d)
Interest Rate Risk

The Companys and the Groups exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to debt
obligation with financial institutions. The Companys and the Groups policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of
fixed and variable rate debts, and interest rate economic effect of converting borrowings from fixed rates to variable
rates or vice versa.

Under the interest rate swaps, the Company and the Group agree with other parties to exchange, at specified
intervals mainly quarterly, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by
reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

The Company and the Group have the following interest rate swap arrangements in place:

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced at intervals of less than one year. Interest
on financial instruments classified as fixed rate is fixed until the maturity of the instrument or for which interest
rate swaps have been entered into. The other financial instruments of the Group and the Company that are not
included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

The Company and the Group are in a net finance cost position for the years ended 30 September 2011 and 2010.

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
It is estimated that a hundred basis points increase/decrease in interest rate, with all other variables held constant,
would decrease/increase the Groups profit after tax and net loss in hedging reserve by approximately $13,291,000
(2010: $19,018,000) and $16,100,000 (2010: $5,000,000) respectively, arising mainly as a result of higher/lower
interest expense on net floating borrowing position and increase/decrease in the fair value of derivatives held for
hedging respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010.

180


(e)
Market Price Risk
The Company and the Group are exposed to market price risk and the risk of impairment in the value of investments
held. The Company and the Group manage the risk of impairment by evaluation of investment opportunities,
continuously monitoring the performance of investments held and assessing market risk relevant to which the
investments operate.

Sensitivity analysis for quoted investment risk
If prices for available-for-sale investments increase by 10% with all other variables including tax rate being held
constant, the impact on fair value adjustment reserve will be as follows:

There will be no impact to profit after tax.

A 10% decrease in the underlying equity prices would have had the equal but opposite effect to the amounts
shown above. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010 and assumes that all other variables remain
constant.

Fair Values
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments
for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

(i)
Cash and bank balances, other receivables and other payables
(ii)
The carrying amounts of these items approximate fair value due to their short term nature.

Trade receivables and trade payables
The carrying amounts of receivables and payables approximate fair value because these are subject to normal
trade credit terms.
(iii)
Amounts due from/to related companies

The carrying amounts of amounts due from/to related companies in current assets and current liabilities
approximate fair value due to their short term nature. For amounts due from related companies included in
long term assets, no disclosure of the fair value has been made, as it is not practicable to determine the fair
value with sufficient reliability since these balances have no fixed terms of repayment.
(iv)
Short term and other investments
Market value of quoted investment is determined by reference to stock exchange quoted prices.

Certain unquoted investments do not have quoted market prices in an active market nor are there other
methods of reasonably estimating the fair value readily available. It is not practicable to determine fair value
with sufficient reliability without incurring excessive costs.

Bank borrowings and term loans
(v)
The fair value of fixed rate bank borrowings and term loans are disclosed in Note 30. The carrying values
of bank borrowings, and term loans maturing within one year and the floating rates borrowings and loans
approximate their fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

The Group classify fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of the inputs used
in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy have the following levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

Quoted equity instruments: Fair value is determined directly by reference to their published market bid price at the
balance sheet date.

Derivatives: The fair value of interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts is determined by
reference to market values for similar instruments.

There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the financial year.

38. UNUSUAL ITEM

As previously announced in September 2003, the former Finance Manager of a joint venture company, Asia Pacific Breweries
(S) Pte Ltd (APBS), Chia Teck Leng (CTL), was arrested by the Commercial Affairs Division and subsequently charged
in Court and convicted on multiple charges for cheating and using forged documents to obtain and operate unauthorised
bank accounts in the name of APBS with CTL as the sole signatory.

In September 2004, four banks, Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank Aktiengesellschaft (HVB), Skandinaviska Enskilda
Banken (SEB), Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd (Mizuho) and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Sumitomo),
commenced separate actions against APBS. The breakdown of the respective claims by the four banks is as follows:

HVB: USD32,002,333, alternatively in tort, USD30,000,000
SEB: USD26,559,372, alternatively in restitution, SGD29,468,723
Mizuho: USD8,024,046
Sumitomo: SGD10,323,208

In October 2007, Mizuho and Sumitomo decided not to continue with their respective suits. Mizuho withdrew its action,
with costs to be paid to APBS while Sumitomos action was dismissed with costs.

The court hearing for the remaining suits has ended. In the judgement released on 31 August 2009, the High Court
dismissed SEBs and HVBs claims in full. However, the court also held that APBS did not have a valid change of position
defence in respect of the sum of $347,671 and held that SEB was entitled to judgement in the sum of $347,671
(SEB Judgement Sum) together with interest thereon. On 29 September 2009, SEB and HVB filed their notices of appeal
against the entire High Court decision. On 27 April 2010, the appeal was heard by the Court of Appeal.

In the Court of Appeal judgement released on 19 May 2011, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Courts decision and
dismissed the appeals by SEB and HVB in full, with costs awarded in favour of APBS. APBS has since paid the Judgement
Sum and is in the midst of recovering costs from SEB and HVB for both the High Court and Court of Appeal proceedings.
If parties do not reach a settlement on costs, the issue of costs will proceed to taxation i.e. formal assessment by the Court
on costs.
39. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the Groups capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital ratios to support its
business and maximise shareholder value. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years
ended 30 September 2011 and 2010.

The Group monitors its cashflow, debt maturity profile, cost of funds, overall liquidity position and gearing ratio on a
continuous basis. The Groups policy is to keep gearing ratio at not more than 80% of total equity.

The gearing ratio is calculated as net borrowings divided by total equity. Net borrowings is calculated as borrowings less
cash and bank deposits. Total equity is calculated as shareholders fund plus non-controlling interests.

Except for the Revised FRS 24, the Amendments to FRS 1, Amendments to FRS 12, FRS 110, FRS 10, FRS 27, FRS 111,
FRS 112, INT FRS 114 and INT FRS 115, the Directors expect that the adoption of the other standards and interpretations
above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. The nature of the
impending changes in accounting policy on adoption of the following FRS and INT FRS are described below.

(a)
Revised FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures
(b)
The Revised FRS 24 clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and
to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The Revised FRS 24 expands the definition of a related party and
would treat two entities as related to each other whenever a person (or a close member of that persons family)
or a third party has control or joint control over the entity, or has significant influence over the entity. The revised
standard also introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The Group
is currently determining the impact the changes to the definition of a related party has on the disclosure of related
party transaction.

The Group will apply the Revised FRS 24 from 1 October 2011. As this is a disclosure standard, it will have no impact
on the financial position or financial performance of the Group when implemented.

Amendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The Amendments to FRS 1 changes the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI). Items
that could be reclassified to profit or loss at a future point in time would be presented separately from items which
will never be reclassified. As the Amendments only affect the presentation of items that are already recognised
in OCI, the Group does not expect any impact on its financial position or performance upon adoption of this
standard.

187

40. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND FRS INTERPRETATION (contd)
(c)
Amendments to FRS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
(d)
The Amendments to FRS 12 apply to the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets arising from investment
properties measured using the fair value model under FRS 40 Investment Property, including investment property
acquired in a business combination and subsequently measured using the fair value model. For the purposes
of measuring deferred tax, the Amendments introduce a rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount of
an investment property measured at fair value will be recovered entirely through sale. The presumption can be
rebutted if the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to
consume substantially all of the economic benefits over time, rather than through sale.

The Group provides for deferred tax liabilities for its investment properties on the basis that the carrying amount of
the investment properties will be recovered through use. Upon adoption of the Amendments to FRS 12, there is a
presumption that the carrying amount of an investment property measured at fair value will be recovered entirely
through sale. Accordingly, there will be no deferred tax liability on investment properties in Singapore as there is no
capital gains tax in Singapore. The Group expects the adoption of Amendments to FRS 12 to result in a decrease in
deferred tax liabilities of the Group and a corresponding increase in retained earnings upon initial application of the
amendments.

The Group will apply the Amendments to FRS 12 from 1 October 2012.

FRS 110/IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and FRS 27 Separate Financial Statements (Revised)
(e)
FRS 110/IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities (including special purpose entities).
The changes introduced by FRS 110/IFRS 10 will require the management to exercise significant judgement to
determine which entities are controlled, and therefore are required to be consolidated by the Group, compared
with the requirements that were in FRS 27. Therefore, FRS 110/IFRS 10 may change which entities are consolidated
within a group. The revised FRS 27 was amended to address accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities
and associates in separate financial statements.

The Group is currently determining the impact of the changes to the concept of control.

FRS 111/IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and FRS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures (Revised)
FRS 111/IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements either as joint operations or joint ventures. Joint operation is a joint
arrangement hereby the parties that have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities whereas joint venture
is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement has rights to the net assets
of the arrangement. FRS 111/IFRS 11 requires the determination of joint arrangements classification to be based
on the parties rights and obligations under the arrangement, with the existence of a separate legal vehicle no
longer being the key factor. FRS 111/IFRS 11 disallows proportionate consolidation and requires joint venture to
be accounted for using the equity method. The revised FRS 28 was amended to describe the application of equity
method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates.

The Group currently applies proportionate consolidation for its joint ventures. Upon adoption of FRS 111/IFRS
11, the Group expects the change to equity accounting for these joint ventures will affect the Groups financial
statements presentation.

188


(f)
FRS 112/IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

FRS 112/IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other
entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.
FRS 112/IFRS 12 requires an entity to disclose information that helps users of its financial statements to evaluate
the nature and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial
statements.

The Group is currently determining the impact of the disclosure requirements. As this is a disclosure standard, it will
have no impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group when implemented.
(g)
Amendments to INT FRS 114 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement
(h)
The changes to INT FRS 114 require entities sponsoring defined benefit plans to assess whether prepayments have
been made that now need to be re-assessed for their impact on recoverability on pension assets. Entities applying
the corridor to recognise actuarial gains and losses may also need to take into account the potential interaction
between corridor and the recoverability of plan assets.

The Group will apply INT FRS 114 from 1 October 2011.

INT FRS 115 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate
On 26 August 2010, the Accounting Standards Council issued INT FRS 115 with an accompanying note that explains
the application of the Interpretation to property development sales in Singapore by considering the Singapore legal
framework. INT FRS 115 supersedes RAP 11 Pre-Completion Contracts for the Sale of Development Property and
becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. When adopted INT FRS 115 is to be
applied retrospectively.

INT FRS 115 clarifies when revenue and related expenses from a sale of real estate unit should be recognised if an
agreement between a developer and a buyer is reached before the construction of real estate is completed. INT
FRS 115 determines that contracts which do not classify as construction contracts in accordance with FRS 11 can
only be accounted for using the percentage of completion (POC) method if the entity continuously transfers to
the buyer control and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the work in progress in its current state as
construction progresses.

The Groups current accounting policy for all residential property sales is to recognise revenue using the POC method
as construction progresses. When the Group applies INT FRS 115 in the financial year ended 30 September 2012
retrospectively, the 2011 comparatives for revenue and net profit after tax are expected to increase by approximately
$92,337,000 and $29,499,000 respectively. The properties held for sale and deferred income as at 30 September
2011 are also expected to decrease by approximately $43,614,000 and increase by approximately $1,526,000
respectively.
(i)
RAP 11 Pre-Completion Contracts for the Sale of Development Property

For the current financial year, RAP 11 is still applicable in Singapore. This statement mentioned that a property
developers sales and purchase agreement is not a construction contract as defined in FRS 11 (Construction Contract)
and the POC method of recognising income, which is allowed under FRS 11 for construction contracts may not be
applicable for property developers.

The relevant standard for revenue recognition by property developers is FRS 18 (Revenue), which addresses revenue
recognition generally and for all types of entities. With the issuance of INT FRS 115, RAP 11 will cease to have effect
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011.

The Group uses the POC method for recognising revenue from partly completed residential projects which are held
for sale.
189

RAP 11 Pre-Completion Contracts for the Sale of Development Property (contd)

If the Group had adopted the completed contract method, the impact on the financial statements will be as

(a)
On 11 October 2011, the Group announced that its subsidiary company, F&NHBs dairies product manufacturing
facilities in Rojana Industrial Park, Ayutthaya, Thailand under F&N Dairies (Thailand) Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary, was inundated by massive floods and has ceased production.

It is currently estimated that production can recommence approximately 3 to 5 months after flood water has
subsided. During the interim, in order to mitigate the disruption to the market place/customers, the Group plans to
ship products from its outsourced manufacturing locations.

The Group is also working closely with its insurer and loss adjusters to file claims under its Property All Risk
and Business Interruption Insurance policies. Material financial losses including consequential loss of profit are
recoverable from the insurer and the Group will look to these policies for reimbursement during the period.

(b)
On 28 October 2011, the Group announced that its subsidiary company, F&N Dairy Investments Pte Ltd has entered
into a share purchase agreement to sell its entire 29.5% shareholding interest in China Dairy Group Ltd for a
consideration of approximately $37.9 million. This sale was completed on 1 November 2011.

(c)
On 1 November 2011, the Groups joint venture company, Asia Pacific Breweries Limited increased its equity
interest in South Pacific Brewery Limited (SPB) from 75.8% to 76.4% through the purchase of 201,600 shares
representing 0.6% of the share capital of SPB for an aggregate consideration of Kina 3,024,000 (or approximately
$1,700,000).
(d)
On 4 November 2011, the Groups joint venture company, Asia Pacific Breweries Limiteds indirect subsidiary
company, Barworks Holdings Limited (BHL) has acquired the remaining 25.0% equity interest in Clifford Pubs

The consideration for the acquisition, reached on a willing seller willing buyer basis taking into account the
profitability of CPL, is NZ$925,000 (or approximately $928,000), and has been paid in cash by BHL on completion.
The book value of the additional interest based on the unaudited accounts of CPL as at 30 September 2011 is
approximately NZ$55,000 (or approximately $55,000).

STATEMENT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 64 OF THE COMPANYS ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The effects of the resolutions under the heading Special Business in this Notice of the 113th Annual General Meeting are:
(a)
Ordinary Resolution No. 6 is to authorise the Directors of the Company from the date of that meeting until the
next Annual General Meeting to issue shares and/or make or grant instruments that might require shares to be issued on
a pro rata basis to shareholders of the Company, and to issue shares in pursuance of such instruments, up to a limit of
50% of the total number of issued shares in the capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, calculated as described
in the Resolution.
(b)
Ordinary Resolution No. 7 is to authorise the Directors of the Company to allot and issue from time to time such
number of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company as may be required to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options
under the Fraser and Neave, Limited Executives Share Option Scheme 1999 (the 1999 Scheme) up to an aggregate limit
of 15% of the total number of issued ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, from time
to time (the 15% Limit). The 15% Limit is calculated by including the ordinary shares which have already been allotted
and issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the 1999 Scheme since the implementation of the 1999 Scheme.
(c)
Ordinary Resolution No. 8 is to authorise the Directors of the Company to offer and grant awards and to issue
ordinary shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to the F&N Restricted Share Plan (the Restricted Share Plan)
and the F&N Performance Share Plan (the Performance Share Plan) provided that the aggregate number of new
ordinary shares allotted and issued and/or to be allotted and issued, when aggregated with existing ordinary shares in the
capital of the Company (including shares held in treasury) delivered and/or to be delivered, pursuant to the Restricted
Share Plan and the Performance Share Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued ordinary shares in
the capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, from time to time. The Committee administering the Restricted
Share Plan and the Performance Share Plan currently does not intend, in any given year, to grant awards under the
Restricted Share Plan and the Performance Share Plan which would comprise more than 1% of the total number of issued
ordinary shares from time to time (the Yearly Limit). However, if the Yearly Limit is not fully utilised in any given year,
the balance of the unutilised Yearly Limit may be used by the Company to make grants of awards in subsequent years.
(d)
Ordinary Resolution No. 9 is to authorise the Directors of the Company to allot and issue ordinary shares in the capital of
the Company pursuant to the Fraser and Neave, Limited Scrip Dividend Scheme to eligible members who, in respect of a
qualifying dividend, have elected to receive scrip in lieu of the cash amount of that qualifying dividend.
