US$0.4 million (5.8%) to US$8.1 million. Profit after tax however was

Corporate Governance Report

Adampak Limited (the “Company”) is committed to ensuring transparency and maintaining a high standard of corporate governance
within the Group. Good corporate governance establishes and maintains a legal and ethical environment, which strives to preserve
and enhance the interest of all shareholders.
This report describes the corporate governance framework and practices of the Company with specific reference made to each
of the principles of the Code of Corporate Governance (the “Code”) issued by the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited
(“SGX-ST”).
(A) BOARD MATTERS
Principle 1: Board’s Conduct of its Affairs
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) assumes responsibility for stewardship of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) and
is primarily responsible for the production and enhancement of long-term value and returns for the shareholders. It supervises
the management of the business and affairs of the Group, provides corporate direction, monitors managerial performance and
reviews financial results of the Group. In addition, the Board is directly responsible for decision making in respect of the following
matters:
• appointment of Directors and key managerial personnel;

• announcements including approvals and release of financial results and annual reports;
• business strategy including significant acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries or assets and liabilities;
• operating budgets, significant investments and capital expenditures; and
• corporate policies in keeping with good corporate governance and business practice.
To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established a number of Board committees which include an Audit
Committee (“AC”), a Nominating Committee (“NC”) and a Remuneration Committee (“RC”), each of which functions within clearly
defined terms of reference and operating procedures which are reviewed on a regular basis.
Board Meetings and Meetings of Board Committees
The Board meets quarterly and whenever necessary for the discharge of their duties. Dates of the Board meetings are normally
set by the Directors well in advance.

Lee Joo Hai 4 4 1 1
Teo Kiang Kok 4 4 1 1
Principle 2: Board Composition and Guidance
The Board comprises six Directors, three of whom are independent Directors. The Directors of the Company as at the date of this
report are:
Mr Chua Cheng Song (Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director)

Mr Anthony Tay Song Seng (Executive Director)
Mr George Chua Hook Beng (Executive Director)
Mr Goh Siang Khin (Independent Director)
Mr Lee Joo Hai (Independent Director)
Mr Teo Kiang Kok (Independent Director)
Annual Report 15
2009

Key information regarding the Directors is set out under the “Board of Directors” section of this Annual Report.
The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by the NC, based on the guidelines on criteria of independence stated in
the Code. The Board considers an “independent” Director as one who has no relationship with the Company, its related companies
or its officers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the Director’s independence business
judgment. During the financial year, the NC has reviewed and determined that Mr Goh Siang Khin, Mr Lee Joo Hai and Mr Teo
Kiang Kok are independent. The NC is also satisfied that all Directors with multiple board responsibilities are able to carry out their
duties.
The Board members bring with them invaluable experience and collective core competencies such as accounting and finance,
law, business and management experiences, as well as industry expertise. The NC is of the opinion that its current Board size
and mix of expertise and experience of its members, as a group, provide core competencies necessary to meet the Company’s
requirements.
The Board has no dissenting view on the CEO’s statement to shareholders for the financial year in review.
Principle 3: Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Board is of the opinion that based on the Company’s current size and operation, there is no requirement to appoint a Chairman
of the Board. It believes that the CEO should assume the duties that are normally carried out by the Chairman. The Board is of
the view this arrangement is in the best interests of the Company and does not unduly concentrate power in the hands of one
individual, or compromise accountability and independent decision-making.
The Board is of the view that there are sufficient safeguards and checks to ensure that the process of decision making by the
Board is independent and based on collective decisions without any individual exercising any considerable concentration of power

meeting agenda to enable the Board to perform its duties responsibly having regard to the Company’s business activities. He

Board to ensure that all material information are provided as promptly as possible to the Board for the Board to make informed
decisions.

purposes of Directors’ re-nomination and determination of independence.

with his exercise of independent business relationship judgment, is in fact independent, it should disclose in full nature of
the Director’s relationship and bear responsibility for explaining why he should be considered independent;
• to recommend Directors who are retiring by rotation to be put forward for re-election;
• to decide whether or not a Director is able to and has been adequately carrying out his duties as a Director of the Company,

Principle 5: Board Performance
The Board, through the delegation of its authority to the NC, has used its best efforts to ensure that Directors appointed to the
Board possess the background, experience and knowledge in technology, business, finance and management skills critical to the
Company‘s business and that each Director, through his unique contributions, brings to the Board an independent and objective
perspective to enable balanced and well-considered decisions to be made. In the event that the appointment of a new Board
member is required, the criteria for the appointment will be driven by the need to position and shape the Board in line with the
needs of the Company and its business.
Review of the Board performance is undertaken by the NC annually. The NC reviews appraisal forms as part of the process
adopted for evaluating the overall effectiveness of the Board’s performance. The performance criteria for the Board evaluation
include an assessment of the size and composition of the Board, the Board’s access to information, and Board performance in
relation to discharging its key responsibilities.
Principle 6: Access of Information
In order to ensure the Board is able to fulfill its responsibilities, the Board is provided with complete, adequate and timely information
pertaining to matters to be brought before the Board for decision and detailed board papers are circulated in advance of each
Board meeting. The Directors are kept informed by the CEO on the status of on-going activities between meetings.
Where a decision has to be made other than in a Board meeting, a circulating Board’s resolution is done in accordance with the
Articles of Association of the Company and the Directors are provided with all necessary information to enable them to make
informed decisions.
The Board has separate and independent access to the management and the Company Secretary at all times. The Company
Secretary attends all Board and Committee meetings and is responsible for ensuring that Board procedures, as well as the

(C) ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT
Principle 10: Accountability
In the discharge of its duties to the shareholders, the Company seeks to provide the shareholders with a balanced and understandable
assessment of the Company’s and Group’s performance, position and prospects. The Board is committed to being open and
transparent in the conduct of the Company’s affairs, whilst preserving the commercial interests of the Company. Financial results
and other price sensitive information are disseminated to shareholders through announcements via SGXNET to the SGX-ST.
Management currently provides the Board with appropriately detailed management accounts of the Group’s performance, position
and prospects on a regular basis.
Principle 11: Audit Committee
The AC comprises three non-executive Directors, all of whom are independent:
Lee Joo Hai (Chairman)

Goh Siang Khin
Teo Kiang Kok
All members of the AC are experienced professionals. Mr Lee Joo Hai and Mr Goh Siang Khin are certified public accountants and
have accounting and related financial management expertise. Mr Teo Kiang Kok is an advocate and solicitor and is the finance
partner and head of corporate finance of a legal firm. The Board is of the view that they have the appropriate accounting and
financial management expertise and business experience to discharge their responsibilities.
The primary role of the AC is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in financial reporting, management of financial and
control risks, and monitoring of the internal control systems.
The Board has approved the written terms of reference of the AC which includes the following duties and responsibilities:
• to review the annual audit plan of the Company’s external auditors;
• to review the results of the external auditors’ examination, their evaluation of the Group’s internal accounting controls and
their recommendations;
• to recommend to the Board, subject to shareholders’ approval, the re-appointment of the Company’s external auditors;
• to review the Group’s financial results and the announcements before submission to the Board;
• to review the Group’s interested persons transactions;
• to review non-audit services performed by the external auditors to ensure that the nature and extent of such services will
not prejudice the independence and objectivity of the external auditors before recommending to the Board; and
• to undertake other functions as required by the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST.
The AC reviews the findings of the auditors and the assistance given to them by management. Minutes of the AC meetings are
regularly circulated to the Board for its information and review.
The AC had undertaken a review and confirmed that the auditors did not provide any other non-audit services to the Company
during the financial year 2009.
The Management has put in place a whistle blowing policy, under which staff of the Company may, in confidence, raise concerns
about possible improprieties in matters of financial report or other matters. The objective for such arrangement is to ensure
independent investigation of any irregularity and for appropriate follow-up action.
Principle 12: Internal Controls
The Board believes that it is crucial to put in place a system of internal controls of the Group’s procedures and processes to
safeguard shareholders’ interests and the Group’s assets and to manage risk.
The external auditors of the Company and each of the subsidiaries conduct annual review in accordance with their audit plans, of
the effectiveness of the material internal controls, including financial, operational and compliance controls, and risk management of
the companies audited by them. Any material non-compliance or failure in internal controls and recommendations for improvements
are reviewed and consolidated by the Company’s external auditors and reported to the AC. The AC also reviews the effectiveness
of the actions taken by management on the recommendations made by the external auditors in this respect.
Annual Report 19
2009

The system of internal controls and the risk management process established by the Group are designed to manage, rather
than eliminate, the risk of failure in achieving the Group’s strategic objectives. It should be recognised that such system provides
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance to the integrity and reliability of the financial information and to safeguard the accountability
of the assets.
The AC has reviewed the effectiveness of the procedures described above and is satisfied that the Group’s risk management
processes and internal controls are adequate to meet the needs of the Group in its current business environment. The Board notes
that all internal control systems contain inherent limitations and no system of internal controls could provide absolute assurance
against the occurrence of material errors, poor judgment in decision-making, human error, fraud or other irregularities.
Principle 13: Internal Audit
In order to more closely monitor the internal control framework, the Company has outsourced its internal audit function to a
professional firm. The scope of the internal audit reviews is:
• to determine that internal controls are in place and functioning as intended;
• to provide assurance that key business and operational risks are identified and managed;
• to assess whether operations of the business processes under review are conducted efficiently and effectively; and
• to identify opportunities for improvement of internal controls.
The AC and the Board are satisfied that the internal audit function is adequately resourced and has appropriate standing within the
Group and the Company.
(D) COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS
Principle 14: Communication with Shareholders

Principle 15: Greater Shareholders Participation
The Board is mindful of the obligation to provide timely and fair disclosure of material information. The Company does not practise
selective disclosure. Price sensitive information is publicly released and results and annual reports are announced or issued within
the mandatory period and are available on the Company’s website. Shareholders are informed of shareholders‘ meetings through
notices published in the newspapers and reports or circulars sent to all shareholders. Shareholders are invited at such meetings to
put forth any questions they may have on the motions to be debated and decided upon. If any shareholder is unable to attend, he
is allowed to appoint up to two proxies to vote on his behalf at the meetings through proxy form sent in advance.
Separate resolutions are tabled at general meetings on each distinct issue.
The chairpersons of each Board committee are required to be present to address questions at general meetings. External auditors
are also present at such meetings to assist the Directors to address shareholders’ queries, if necessary.
Dealings in Securities
An internal code on dealings in securities modeled after the Best Practices Guide has been issued to Directors and key executives
setting out the code of conduct on transactions in the Company’s shares, the implications on insider trading and the recommendation
of the SGX-ST Best Practices Guide. Directors and officers are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities during the period
commencing two weeks and one month before the announcement of the Company’s quarterly and full year results respectively,
or when they are in possession of unpublished material price sensitive information. Directors and officers are also not expected to
deal in the Company’s securities on considerations of a short-term nature.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Members of Adampak Limited
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Adampak Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”)
set out on pages 25 to 63, which comprise the balance sheets of the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2009,
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated
statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the provisions
of the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes:
(a) 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;
(b) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and
(c) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
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 as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the 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,
a) the balance sheet of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group are properly drawn up in
accordance with the provisions of the Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2009, and the results, changes in equity and cash
flows of the Group for the financial year ended on that date; and
b) the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by the subsidiary 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

These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
1. Corporate Information
Adampak Limited (the “Company”) is a public limited company domiciled and incorporated in Singapore and is publicly
traded on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The address of its registered office is 6 Loyang Way 4,
Singapore 507605.
The principal activities of the Company are the manufacturing of labels, seals and other die-cut components mainly for
the electronics, pharmaceutical/medical equipment and supplies and chemical industries. There have been no significant
changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are stated in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the
accounting policies below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to exercise its judgement in the
process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates
and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 2.2.
(b) Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2009
On 1 January 2009, the Group adopted the new or amended FRS and Interpretations to FRS (“INT FRS”) that are
mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies have been made as required,
in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INT FRS.
The following are the new or revised FRS and INT FRS that are relevant to the Group:
• FRS 1 (revised) Presentation of financial statements (effective from 1 January 2009)
The revised FRS 1 separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity
includes only details of transactions with owners, with all non-owner changes in equity presented in the
statement of comprehensive income. In addition, the Standard introduces the statement of comprehensive
income which presents income and expenses recognised in the period. This statement may be presented
in one single statement, or two linked statements. The Group has elected to present this statement as two
linked statements.
• FRS 108 Operating segments (effective from 1 January 2009)
RS 108 replaces FRS 14 Segment reporting, and requires a ‘management approach’, under which
F
segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The Group
determined that the reportable operating segments are the same as the business segments previously
identified under FRS 14. Segment revenue, segment assets and liabilities and capital expenditure are also
measured on a basis that is consistent with internal reporting.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
2.1 Basis of preparation (cont’d)
(b) Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2009 (cont’d)
• Amendment to FRS 107 Improving disclosures about financial statements (effective from 1 January 2009)
The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular,
the amendment requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement
hierarchy. The adoption of the amendment results in additional disclosures but does not have an impact on
the accounting policies and measurement bases adopted by the Group.
2.2 Significant accounting estimates and judgements
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance.
(a) Estimated impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is indication that the goodwill may be impaired. This
requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated. Estimating the
value in use 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. Property,
plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective
evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired.
(b) Impairment of loans and receivables
Management reviews its loan and receivables for objective evidence of impairment periodically. Significant financial
difficulties of the debtor, the probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant delay in
payments are considered objective evidence that a receivable is impaired. In determining this, management makes
judgement as to whether there is observable data indicating that there has been a significant change in the payment
ability of the debtor, or whether there have been significant changes with adverse effect in the technological, market,
economic or legal environment in which the debtor operates in. As at 31 December 2009, the carrying amount
of trade and other receivables amounted to US$17,307,000 (2008: US$11,894,000) and US$12,675,000 (2008:
US$8,501,000) respectively.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, management makes judgements as to whether an impairment
loss should be recorded as an expense. In determining this, management uses estimates based on historical loss
experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating
both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between the
estimated loss and actual loss experience.
(c) Uncertain tax positions
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. In determining the income tax liabilities, management
is required to estimate the amount of capital allowances and the deductibility of certain expenses (“uncertain tax
positions”) at each tax jurisdiction. 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 income of these matters is
different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred
tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The carrying amount of taxation and deferred tax
at balance sheet date is disclosed in the balance sheet.
Annual Report 31
2009

2.3 Basis of consolidation
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern the financial
and operating policies, generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to majority of the voting rights. The
existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when
assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at
the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the date of
acquisition, irrespective of the extent of non-controlling interest. Please refer to Note 2.6 for the Group’s accounting
policy on goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated
from to the date on which that control ceases.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions
between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment
indicator of the asset transferred. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries
to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.
Minority interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to the
interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the Group. They are measured at the minorities’ share of fair value
of the subsidiaries’ identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition by the Group and the minorities’ share of
changes in equity since the date of acquisition, except when the minorities’ share of losses in a subsidiary exceeds
its interests in the equity of that subsidiary. In such cases, the excess and further losses applicable to the minorities
are attributed to the equity holders of the Company, unless the minorities have a binding obligation to, and are able
to, make good the losses. When that subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the profits applicable to the minority
interests are attributed to the equity holders of the Company until the minorities’ share of losses previously absorbed
by the equity holders of the Company are fully recovered.
Please refer to Note 2.7 for the Company’s accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries.
(b) Transactions with minority interests
The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to
the Group. Disposal to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recognised in the income
statement. Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid
and the Group’s incremental share of the carrying value of identifiable net assets of the subsidiary.
2.4 Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivables for the sale of goods, in the ordinary course
of the Group’s activities. Revenue is presented, net of value-add tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales
within the Group.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related cost can be reliably measured, it is probable that
the collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured and when the specific criteria for each of the Group’s
activities are met as follows:
(a) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when a Group entity has delivered the products to the customer, the
customer has accepted the products and collectibility of the related receivables is reasonably assured.

LIMITED

2.4 Revenue recognition (cont’d)
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis, using effective interest method.
(c) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.
2.5 Property, plant and equipment
(a) Measurement
ll property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated
A
depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, except for a leasehold factory building at 10 Loyang Drive, Singapore,
stated at valuation as at 31 December 1996 revalued by the directors based on an independent professional
valuation on the estimated open market value on an existing use basis less subsequent depreciation. Surplus on
revaluation of such leasehold factory building was taken to revaluation reserve.
In accordance with the relevant accounting standards, an entity that had revalued its property, plant and equipment
before 1st January 1984 (in accordance with the prevailing accounting standard at that time); or performed any one-
off revaluation on its property, plant and equipment between 1st January 1984 and 31st December 1996 (both date
inclusive), there will be no need for the enterprise to revalue its assets in accordance with the standard.
(b) Component of costs
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that
is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating
in the manner intended by management. Cost also includes borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset and any fair value gains or losses on qualifying cash flow
hedges of property, plant and equipment that are transferred from the hedging reserve.
(c) Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated to allocate the depreciable cost or valuation over their
estimated useful lives by the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Useful lives
Leasehold factory buildings 30 to 50 years
Plant and equipment 3 to 20 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Renovations 3 years
The residual values and estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the
income statement when the changes arise.
(d) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the
carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits, associated with the item will
flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are
recognised in the income statement when incurred.
Annual Report 33
2009

2.5 Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)
(e) Disposal
On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
its carrying amount is taken to the income statement. Any amount in revaluation reserve relating to that asset is
transferred to retained earnings directly.
2.6 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable
net assets and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of the acquisition.
Goodwill is recognised separately as intangible assets and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is indication that the goodwill may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating-units
(“CGU”) expected to benefit from synergies arising from the business combination.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of a CGU, including the goodwill, exceeds the recoverable
amount of the CGU. Recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use.
The total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and
then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU.
An impairment loss on goodwill is recognised in the income statement and is not reversed in a subsequent period.
2.7 Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses (Note 2.22) in the Company’s balance
sheet. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
of the investments is taken to the income statement.
2.8 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out method. The
cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprise raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production
overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but exclude borrowing costs. The net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of completion and selling expenses.
2.9 Financial assets
(a) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the nature of the asset and the
purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at
initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the
balance sheet date which are presented as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are presented as “trade and
other receivables” and “cash and cash equivalents” on the balance sheet.
34 ADAMPAK
LIMITED

2.9 Financial assets (cont’d)
(b) Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets 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
have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On disposal
of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale proceeds is recognised in the income
statement. Any amount in the fair value reserve relating to that asset is transferred to the income 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. Transaction costs for financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss are recognised immediately as expenses.
(d) Subsequent measurement
Financial assets, both available-for-sale and at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value.
Loans and receivables and financial assets, held-to-maturity are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
Changes in the fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss including the effects of currency
translation, interest and dividends, are recognised in the income statement when the changes arise.
(e) Impairment
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 and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists.
Loans and receivables
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant
delay in payments are objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired.
The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account which is
calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows,
discounted at the original effective interest rate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the
allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line
item in the income statement.
The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through the income statement in a subsequent period when
the amount of impairment loss decreases and the related decrease can be objectively measured. The carrying
amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed
the amortised cost had no impairment been recognised in prior periods.
2.10 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts
are included in borrowings on the balance sheet. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid equity investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subjected to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Annual Report 35
2009

2.11 Borrowings
Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to deter settlement for at least
12 months after the balance sheet date.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement
over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
2.12 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
2.13 Assets under hire purchase
Where assets are under hire purchase agreements, the assets are capitalised in the financial statements and the
corresponding obligation treated as a liability. The assets so capitalised are depreciated in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policy on depreciation of property, plant and equipment. The total interest, being the difference between the
total instalments payable and the capitalised amount is charged to the income statement to give a constant periodic rate of
charge on the remaining balance of the obligation.
2.14 Leases
Leases where the Group assumes substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets are
classified as finance leases.
The leased assets and the corresponding lease liabilities (net of finance charges) under finance leases are recognised on
the balance sheet as property, plant and equipment and borrowings respectively at the inception of the leases at the lower
of the fair values of the leased assets and the present values of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability. The
finance expense is recognised in the income statement on a basis that reflects a constant periodic rate of interest on the
finance lease liability.
Lessee – Operating lease
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessors) are recognised in the income
statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
2.15 Prepaid lease
Prepaid lease represents land use rights which is stated at cost and are amortised over the period of the lease on a straight-
line basis to the income statement.
Prepaid lease which is to be amortised in the next twelve months or less is classified as current assets.
2.16 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are
deducted against the share capital account.

LIMITED

2.17 Foreign currency
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operations (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements
and balance sheet of the Company are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”). All amounts have been rounded
to the nearest thousands (US$’000) unless otherwise stated.

(b) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation differences from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at the closing rates at the reporting date are recognised in the income statement, unless they arise from
borrowings in foreign currencies, other currency instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges
and net investment in foreign operations. Those currency translation differences are recognised in the currency
translation reserve in the consolidated financial statements and transferred to the income statement as part of the
gain or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.
Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair values are determined.
(c) Translation of Group entities’ financial statements
The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy)
that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency
as follows:
(i) assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date;
(ii) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income
and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and
(iii) all resulting currency translation differences are recognised in the other comprehensive income.
oodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations on or after 1 January 2005 are
G
treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rates at the reporting date. For
acquisitions prior to 1 January 2005, the exchange rates at the dates of acquisition are used.
2.18 Finance costs
Interest expense and similar charges are expensed in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred, except
to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset
which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale. The interest component of
finance lease payments is recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method.
2.19 Income taxes
Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from
the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date.
Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of
goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable
profit or loss at the time of the transaction.
Annual Report 37
2009

2.19 Income taxes (cont’d)
A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, and associated
companies, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable
that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is measured:
(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred
income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the balance sheet date; and
(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet
date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in the income statement, except to the extent that
the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax arising from
a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
2.20 Employee benefits
Employee benefits are recognised as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalised as an asset.
(a) Defined contribution plans

The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has
operations. In particular, the Company makes contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, a
defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an
expense in the period in which the related service is performed.
(b) Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual is made for the
estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
(c) Share-based compensation
he Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services
T
received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense in the income statement with a
corresponding increase in the share option 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 granted on the date of the grant. Non-
market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the number of shares under options that are expected to
become exercisable on the vesting date. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number
of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of
the revision of the estimates in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to the share option reserve
over the remaining vesting period.
When the options are exercised, the proceeds received (net of transaction costs) and the related balance previously
recognised in the share option reserve are credited to share capital account, when new ordinary shares are issued.
38 ADAMPAK
LIMITED

2.21 Provisions
rovisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
P
more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
obligation.
Changes in the estimated timing or amount of the expenditure or discount rate are recognised in the income statement
when the changes arise.
2.22 Impairment of non-financial assets
At each balance sheet, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such impairment exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. An impairment loss
is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The
impairment loss is charged to the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation, credited to equity, in which
case it is charged to equity.
(a) Calculation of recoverable amount
Property, plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment whenever there is any
indication that these assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher
of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use) of the asset is estimated to determine the amount of impairment
loss.
For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount 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, recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs to.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the
income statement unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such impairment loss is treated as
a revaluation decrease.
(b) Reversal of impairment
An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the assets’ recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset is
increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) has no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in the income statement, unless the
asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
2.23 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised as a receivable at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions.
Government grants receivable are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related
costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants relating to expenses are shown
separately as other income.
Government grants relating to assets are deducted against the carrying amount of the assets.

2.24 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the executive committee
whose members are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
2.25 Dividends to Company’s shareholders
Interim dividends are recorded in the financial year in which they are declared payable. Final dividends are recorded in the
financial year in which dividends are approved by the shareholders.

Trade receivables that are past due and/or impaired
In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade
receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of the risk is limited due to
the large customer base. The Group does not hold any collateral over the past due balances. Accordingly, the management
believes that there is no further impairment required in excess of the allowance for impairment of trade receivables.
The credit risk for trade receivables by geographical areas as at the reporting date is as follows:

Capital Management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital based so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to
sustain future development of the business.
The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as net operating income divided by total
shareholders’ equity. The Board also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Group funds its operations and growth through a mix of equity and debts. These include the maintenance of adequate
lines of credit and assessing the need to raise additional equity where required.
The Board of Directors also monitors the leverage ratio. Leverage ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total capital.
The Group and the Company are in compliance with all borrowing covenants for the financial years ended 31 December
2009 and 2008. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year.

29. Segment Information
Business Segments
The Group’s primary business segment is mainly in the manufacturing of labels, seals and die-cut components for the
electronics, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. In addition, the Group also on-sells thermal transfer ribbons and
printer heads to enable customers to print on the labels supplied to them. The revenue from the trading operations does
not form a significant portion of the Group’s revenue and the products involved in the two segments are substantially similar.
Therefore, a segmentation of the Group’s revenue and profit derived from the manufacturing and trading operations will not
be meaningful.
Segments by Country of Incorporation
In presenting information on the basis of segments by country of incorporation, segment revenue is based on the geographical
location of the entities in the Group regardless of where the goods are produced. Segment assets and liabilities and capital
expenditure are based on the geographical location of the entities in the Group they are identified with.

30. Financial Risk Management Policies
Exposures to credit, foreign currency, interest rate and liquidity risks arise from the normal course of the Group’s business.
The Group uses the following financial management policies and guidelines to set out its overall business strategies, risk
tolerance and its general risk management philosophy.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that companies and other parties will be unable to meet their obligations to the Group resulting in
financial loss to the Group. The Group manages such risks by dealing with a diversity of credit-worthy counterparties
to mitigate any significant concentration of credit risk. Credit policy includes assessing and evaluation of existing
and new customers’ credit reliability and monitoring of receivable collections. The Group places its cash and cash
equivalents with creditworthy institutions.
The maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that the counterparties fail to perform the obligations as at the end
of the financial year in relation to each class of financial assets is the carrying amount of these assets in the balance
sheets. Age analysis and credit risk exposure by geographical areas are disclosed in Note 11.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Group operates in Asia. Entities in the Group regularly transact in currencies other than their respective functional
currencies (“foreign currencies”).
Currency risk arises within entities in the Group when transactions are denominated in foreign currencies such as
United States Dollar (“USD”), Singapore Dollar (“SGD”), Malaysian Ringgit, Thai Baht (“THB”), Chinese Renminbi
(“RMB”) and Philippine Peso.
The Group’s main foreign currency risk arises from foreign currency denominated sales, purchases and operating
expenses. This risk is mitigated to certain extent by the natural hedge between sales receipts and purchases and
operating expenses disbursements. The Group does not have any formal hedging policy against foreign exchange
fluctuations. However, the Group continuously monitors its foreign exchange exposure and enters into hedging
contracts with banks from time to time whenever the management detects any movements in the respective
exchange rates which may have impact on the Group’s profitability. The objective is to provide some certainty on
costs and no speculative foreign exchange transactions are entered.
In addition, the Group is exposed to currency translation risk on the net assets in foreign operations. Fluctuations
in the exchange rate between the functional currencies of the entities in the Group and United States dollar, the
Group’s functional and presentation currency, will have an impact on the Group.
The Group also maintains foreign currency bank accounts for operating purposes.

A 10% weakening of US Dollar against the above currencies would have had the equal but opposite effect on the
above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
(c) Interest rate risk
The primary source of the Group’s interest rate risk is its borrowings from financial institutions in Singapore. The
Group’s and the Company’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a combination of fixed and variable interest
rate borrowings, where applicable.
The Group also has cash and cash equivalents placed with reputable banks. The Group manages its interest rate
risk on its interest income by placing the cash and cash equivalents in varying maturities and interest rate terms.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier of

(c) Interest rate risk (cont’d)
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
As at 31 December 2009, an increase/decrease in the interest rates by 100 basis points with all other variables
remain constant, will result in the Group’s and Company’s profit before tax to be lower/higher by US$10,000 (2008:
US$21,000) and US$14,000 (2008: US$20,000) respectively as a result of higher/lower interest expense on net
floating borrowing position.
(d) Liquidity risk
The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by
management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group
also manages this risk by securing adequate credit facilities from a spread of reputable financial institutions to ensure
necessary liquidity as provided in the consolidated balance sheets.
There is no significant liquidity risk exposure. Maturity analysis on borrowings is disclosed in Note 20 and trade and
other payables are due within one year.
(e) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts as reflected in the
consolidated balance sheets.
31. New or revised accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for
the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 or later periods and which the Group has not early
adopted. The Group’s assessment of the impact of adopting those standards, amendments and interpretations that are
relevant to the Group is set out below:
(a) Amendments to FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items (effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009)
This amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible
for designation should be applied in particular situations. The Group will apply this amendment from 1 January 2010,
but it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
(b) FRS 27 (revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after
1 July 2009)
FRS 27 (revised) requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there
is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also
specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value, and a
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. The Group will apply FRS 27 (revised) prospectively to transactions with
minority interests from 1 January 2010.
32. Authorisation of Financial Statements
The financial statements of the Group and the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 were authorised
for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 17 March 2010.

Annual Report 69
2009

Explanatory Notes:
(i) The Ordinary Resolution 7 in item 7 above, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company, effective until the conclusion
of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, or the date by which the next Annual General Meeting of the Company
is required by law to be held or such authority is varied or revoked by the Company in a general meeting, whichever is the
earlier, to issue shares, make or grant Instruments convertible into shares and to issue shares pursuant to such Instruments,
up to a number not exceeding, in total, 50% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) in the capital
of the Company, of which up to 20% may be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to shareholders. The 50% limit referred
to in the preceding sentence may be increased to 100% for the Company to undertake pro-rata renounceable rights issues
subject to timeline stated below.
For determining the aggregate number of shares that may be issued, the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury
shares) will be calculated based on the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) in the capital of the Company
at the time this Ordinary Resolution is passed after adjusting for new shares arising from the conversion or exercise of any
convertible securities or share options or vesting of share awards which are outstanding or subsisting at the time when this
Ordinary Resolution is passed and any subsequent bonus issue, consolidation or subdivision of shares.
The 100% renounceable pro-rata rights issue limit is one of the new measures implemented by the SGX-ST as stated in a
press release entitled “SGX introduces further measures to facilitate fund raising” dated 19 February 2009 and which became
effective on 20 February 2009 until 31 December 2010. The effectiveness of these measures will be reviewed by the SGX-ST
at the end of the period. It will provide the Directors with an opportunity to raise funds and avoid prolonged market exposure
by reducing the time taken for shareholders’ approval, in the event the need arises. Minority shareholders’ interests are
mitigated as all shareholders have equal opportunities to participate and can dispose their entitlements through trading of
nil-paid rights if they do not wish to subscribe for their rights shares. It is subject to the condition that the Company makes
periodic announcements on the use of the proceeds as and when the funds are materially disbursed and provides a status
report on the use of proceeds in the annual report.
(ii) The Ordinary Resolution 8 proposed in item 8 above, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company to purchase or
acquire ordinary shares of the Company, from the date of the above meeting to the date of next Annual General Meeting,
an aggregate amount not exceeding ten per centum (10%) of the total number of issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury
shares) in the capital of the Company as at the date of this Resolution. More details of the Share Purchase Mandate to be
renewed are set out in Appendix 1 enclosed with this Notice.

1. A Member entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting (the “Meeting”) is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend
and vote in his/her stead. A proxy need not be a Member of the Company.
2. The instrument appointing a proxy must be deposited at the Registered Office of the Company at 6 Loyang Way 4 Singapore
