Dear ShareholdersWe are pleased to report the results of the financial year 2014 including a review of our businesses and financial perfonnance. Based on the solid foundation built over the years, we executed a course of action that has expanded our property investment presence in Malaysia and India and establishment of new business division.

Review of operations and financial resultsDuring the financial year, we completed four share purchase agreement with four Malaysian entities which held purchase option in 2 property assets in Malaysia.

To realise the gain from our property inves tment, we disposed of an investment property in the United Kingdom with a gain of $0.5 million during the financial year.

In order to generate regular income, we launched a new business division Aquaint Management Services to provide property lnanagement services.

Ve acquired two 100% owned subsidiaries which involve in sub-selling a residential and commercial development project and developing a residential property project in Malaysia.

Revenue for the period ended 31 December 2014 amounted to $6.7 million. Over 86% of the revenue generated relating to interest income earned from Aquaint’s investment in property project in India.

Total operating expenses, excluding an impairment and allowance for receivables expenses of $11 .2 million which mainly covers loan and other receivable advanced for property development project in India and Malaysia, for the period were $5.5 million primarily reflecting the increase in administrative expenses, finance cost and other expenses which were offset by a foreign exchange gain of $2.7 million.

The net loss after tax for the period totalled $8 million. However, without the above impairment and allowance expenses, the net profit after tax for the period totalled $3.2 million.

Review of Financial PositionShareholders’ Equity or Net Asset was $29.9 million as at 31 December 2014 reflecting mainly the issued share capital and retained loss of the group.

OutlookThe real estate market in Asia Pacific which is the focused market of Aquaint Group is expected to plato or in 2015 as predicted by a leading global real estate service providers. This presents good opportunity to pick up some potentially good value asset.

We will continue to adopt cautious and feasible commercial practices when leveraging on the growth of real estate transactions so to strengthen our property portfolio and presence in Asia Pacific market.

Our focus moving forward is to acquire cash flowing asset to achieve better income for the coming year.

• All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and

• The non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

This statement outlines the main Corporate Governance practices that were in place throughout the financial year, which comply with the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) Corporate Governance Council recommendations, unless otherwise stated.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board is committed to maintaining the highest standards of Corporate Governance. Corporate Governance is about having a set of core values and behaviours that underpin the Company’s activities and ensure transparency, fair dealing and protection of the interests of stakeholders.

The Board of Directors supports the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations developed by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (‘Council’). Whilst the Company’s practices are largely consistent with the Council’s guidelines, the Board considers that the implementation of some recommendations are not appropriate having regard to the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and size of the Board. The Board uses its best endeavours to ensure exceptions to the Council’s guidelines do not have a negative impact on the Company and the best interests of shareholders as a whole. When the Company is not able to implement one of the Council’s recommendations the Company applies the ‘if not, why not’ explanation approach by applying practices in accordance with the spirit of the relevant principle.

The following discussion outlines the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s eight principles and associated recommendations and the extent to which the Company complies with those recommendations.

Details of all of the Council’s recommendations can be found on the ASX website at http://www.asx.com.au

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

Board of Directors

The Board is accountable to shareholders for the performance of Aquaint Capital Holdings Limited (‘Aquaint’ or ‘ The Company’) and has overall responsibility, for its direction and management and the formulation of policies to be applied in Aquaint business. The Board has adopted a Charter which outlines the responsibilities reserved for the Board in detail. This Charter is published on Aquaint’s website at www.aquaintcapital.com.au

In general, the Board is responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the strategic direction, policies and practices of the Company. In addition, it is also responsible for establishing goals for management and ensuring the business is managed in a manner consistent with the agreed strategic direction, policies and practices.

Decisions which are not part of the day to day management of Aquaint or which have not been delegated to the Chief Executive Officer or executive team, must be made by the Board.

Without intending to limit the general role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following:

• formulation and approval of the strategic direction, objectives and goals of the Company;• the prudential control of the Company’s finances and operations and monitoring the financial performance

of the Company;• the resourcing, review and monitoring of executive management;

19ANNUAL REPORT 2014

• ensuring that adequate internal control systems and procedures exist and that compliance with these systems and procedures is maintained;

• the identification of significant business risks and ensuring that such risks are adequately managed;• the timeliness, accuracy, effectiveness of communications, reporting to shareholders, the market; and• the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

The Company has followed Recommendation 1.1 by establishing the functions reserved to the Board and those delegated to senior executives as disclosed above.

The Company has followed Recommendation 1.2 by evaluating the performance of senior executives on a face to face basis with the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer being conducted by the Chair of the Board. The Company has taken the appropriate measure to provide each Director and senior executive with a copy of the Company’s policies which spells out the rights, duties and responsibilities that they should follow.

The Group has followed Recommendation 1.3 by conducting the evaluations of senior executives in accordance with the process described above.

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value

Board of Directors – Composition, Structure and Process

The Board has been formed so that it has effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties given the Company’s current size, scale and nature of its activities.

Independent Directors

As only two of the Company’s four Directors are classified as Independent Directors, the Company does not follow Recommendation 2.1. However, it is the Board’s opinion that all Directors bring to the Board their independent judgement, irrespective of whether they are independent or not.

Regular assessment of independence

An independent Director, in the view of the Company, is a non-executive Director who:

• is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;

• within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;

• within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company, or an employee materially associated with a service provider;

• is not a material supplier or customer of the Company, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

• has no material contractual relationship with the Company other than as a Director of the Company;• has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially

interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and• is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be

perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.

20 AQUAINT CAPITAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

The composition of the Board is reviewed periodically with regards to the optimum number and skills of Directors required for the Board to properly perform its responsibilities and functions.

Chairperson and CEO

Tan Yang Po, a non-independent Director, holds the office of Chair. The Company does not follow Recommendation 2.2 because the small size of the Company does not warrant the appointment of more Directors. However, the Board considers that Ms Tan Yang Po best serve the office of Chair due to her extensive experience in the industry.

The Chair person leads the Board and has responsibility for ensuring the Board receives accurate, timely and clear information to enable the Directors to perform their duties as a Board.

The Company CEO is responsible and accountable to the Board for the Company’s management. During October 2014 Mr Soo Ming Chiang was appointed as the Company CEO. Therefore, the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 follow Recommendation 2.3. As at the date of this report Mr Soo was appointed as Non-executive Director and Ms Tan now exercised both roles.

Board nominations

Having regards to the current membership of the Board and the size, organisational complexity and scope of operation of the Group, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has being suspended and determined that the Board will undertake the duties and responsibilities of the Committee, therefore Recommendation 2.4 has not been followed.

Performance review and evaluation

The Company has followed Recommendations 2.5 and 2.6 by disclosing the process for evaluating the performance of the Board, and disclosure requirements under Principle 2 below.

It is the policy of the Board to ensure that the Directors and executives of the Company are equipped with the knowledge and information they need to discharge their responsibilities effectively, and that individual and collective performance is regularly and fairly reviewed. Although the Company is not of a size to warrant the development of formal processes for evaluating the performance of its Board, individual Directors and executives, there is on-going monitoring by the Chair and the Board. The Chair also speaks to Directors individually regarding their role as a Director.

Induction and education

The Company has the policy to provide each new Director or officer with a copy of the following documents:

• Code of Conduct;• Continuous Disclosure and Shareholders Communication Policy;• Diversity Policy; and• Share Trading Policy;

Skills, knowledge and experience

Directors are appointed based on the specific corporate and governance skills and experience required by the Company.

One third of the Directors (excluding an executive in the role of CEO) must retire each year and are eligible for re-election. The Directors who retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting are those with the longest length of time in office since their appointment or last election.

Remuneration

The remuneration of the Directors is determined by the Board as a whole, with the Director to whom a particular decision relates being absent from the meeting during the time that the remuneration level is discussed and decided upon.

For details on the amount of remuneration and any amount of equity based executive remuneration payment for each Director, refer to the Remuneration Report in the Directors’ Report.

Internal controls

The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall internal control framework, but recognises that no cost effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities.

Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk

The Company has followed Recommendation 7.1 and has designed policies for the oversight and management of material business risks as disclosed below.

The Board is responsible for the identification, monitoring and management of significant business risks and the implementation of appropriate levels of internal control, recognising however that no cost effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities.

2(a) Basis of preparation Cont

A key policy choice for the period ended 31 December 2013 related to the method of consolidation. A business combination is a ‘‘common control combination’’ if the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party (including the same individual shareholder or a group of shareholders acting together in accordance with a contractual arrangement) both before and after the combination and the common control is not transitory. Business combinations involving entities under common control fall outside the scope of AASB 3: Business Combinations. In accordance with AASB 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, management have considered the pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies in developing an accounting policy for common control combinations, in particular the pooling of interest-type method prescribed under US GAAP in paragraphs D11 to D18 of SFAS 141, Business Combinations.

As a result, the Group accounts for business combinations involving entities under common control using pooling of interest-type accounting. Under this policy, the assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at book value and not fair value (although adjustments are made to achieve uniform accounting policies), intangible assets and contingent liabilities are recognised only to the extent that they were recognised by the acquiree in accordance with applicable IFRS, no goodwill is recorded, any expenses of the combination are written off immediately in the income statement.

The Group has accounted for transactions from the date of acquisition.

The accounting policies applied by the Group are consistent with all years presented in the consolidated financial statements.

2(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Critical assumptions used and accounting estimates in applying accounting policies are described below:

Allowance for loans and receivables

Allowances for bad and doubtful debts are based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible.

In determining whether a trade receivable is impaired, management has used estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics, default of payments, indications of financial difficulties of the specific customer, and general economic conditions. The carrying value of trade and other receivables at the reporting date amounted to A$6,586,000 (2013: A$5,588,000) after providing for an allowance for receivables of A$ 2,316,000 (2013: Nil).

2(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgements Cont

Valuation of investment properties

The Group’s investment properties are stated at estimated fair value based on the valuation performed by independent professional valuers. The determination of the fair value of investment property requires the use of historical transaction comparables and estimates such as future cash flows from assets and capitalisation rates applicable to those assets. The estimated fair value may differ from the price at which the Group’s assets could be sold at a particular time, since actual selling prices are negotiated between willing buyers and sellers. The carrying value of investment properties at the reporting date amounted to A$Nil (2013: A$4,065,000) as the property was sold during the year.

Impairment of financial assets (loans receivable)

The Group has invested in loans receivable from third parties (the “Assets”) with a carrying value of A$28,248,000 (2013: A$33,527,000) as at 31 December 2014. Loans receivable are tested for impairment if indicators of impairment are identified. The recoverable amounts of the assets are estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Such impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Management judgement is required in the area of asset impairment, particularly in assessing:

(1) whether an event has occurred that may indicate that the related asset values may not be recoverable;

(2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset in the business.

(3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management to determine the level, if any, of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test and as a result affect the Group’s results.

Significant judgement is applied by management in determining the recoverability of the Assets. Judgements in identifying impairment losses include a review of the current performance of the investee company and whether market, economic or company-specific conditions have significantly improved or deteriorated since the time of the original investment. Furthermore, the review of the financial performance and position of the investee company are based on historical financial information (and in certain cases, based on unaudited financial information of the investee company’s principal subsidiary) which may not be indicative of the investee company’s recoverable amounts as of the reporting date. The recoverable amounts may differ significantly from the carrying amounts at the reporting date had a readily available market for such Assets existed, or had such Assets been liquidated, and the differences could be material to the financial statements.

Impairment of financial assets (loans receivable) Cont

Loans receivables as at 31 December 2014 include amounts due from Aquaint Pte Ltd A$ 5,836,000, Azea Capital Pte Ltd A$1,928,000, Baldric Pte Ltd A$1,738,000, Azea Gaia Development Pte Ltd A$ 6,495,000 and Bria East Asia Fund A$ 18,643,000 (the “India Loans”).

Loans provided to Bria Asia Fund are secured by a fixed and floating charge over all of the assets of Azea Gaia Development Pvt Ltd in favour of Aquaint Property Pte Ltd to secure the Group’s interest in the Indian properties.

Loans provided to Aquaint Pte Ltd, Azea Capital Pte Ltd, Baldric Pte Ltd and Azea Gaia Development Pte Ltd are unsecured.

Azea Gaia Development Pvt Ltd, the ultimate investee company, is currently developing two Indian property developments being “Azea Botanica Project:” and “Amar Shaheed Path” project.

Azea Gaia Development Ptv Ltd is noted to retain physical possession over the land situated at “Amar Shaheed Path”. The land is currently encumbered by the State Bank of India.

The land situated at the “Azea Botanica Project” has been purchased by Azea Gaia Development Pvt Ltd on a deferred payment basis. The land is currently encumbrance free as there is no charge on the land with exception of the seller of the land, an Indian government organisation. Azea Gaia Development Pvt Ltd has outstanding payment of A$6.7million which is due on deferred payment terms by April 2019. Once all deferred payments are satisfied, the land is expected to become encumbrance free.

Azea Gaia Development Pvt Ltd is currently seeking registration of title over the land at the “Azea Botanica Project” and “Amar Shaheed Path Project” with the Indian government.

An impairment expense of A$ 8,904,000 has been recognised as at 31 December 2014.

Management of Aquaint Capital have satisfied themselves that proceeds from the sales of “Azea Botanica Project” and “Amar Shaheed Path Project” would be sufficient to recover the net carrying value of India Loans as at 31 December 2014.

Income taxes

Significant judgement is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. 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 year in which such determination is made. The carrying value of the Group’s current and deferred tax liabilities at the reporting date amounted to A$44,000 (2013: A$340,000) and A$1,302,000 (2013: A$502,000) respectively.

2(c) New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

A number of new and revised standards and interpretations became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. Information on these new standards is presented below.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements

The Standard amends AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove the individual Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’) disclosures required by Australian specific paragraphs. This amendment reflects the AASB’s view that these disclosures are more in the nature of governance disclosures that are better dealt within the legislation, rather than by the accounting standards.

In mid-2013, the Australian government passed Corporations and Related Legislation Amendment Regulation 2013 (No.1) and Corporations and Australian Securities and Investments Commission Amendment Regulation 2013 (No. 1) to insert these disclosures, with minor changes, into Corporations Regulations 2001. These disclosures are required to be included in remuneration reports for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2013.

As a result of these amendments, the Group has transferred certain individual Key Management Personnel disclosures relating to shareholdings, options / rights holdings, loans and other transactions from the notes to the financial statements to the remuneration report.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement.

AASB 2012-3 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as the amendments merely clarify the existing requirements in AASB 132.

AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

These narrow-scope amendments address disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal.

When developing IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the IASB decided to amend IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to require disclosures about the recoverable amount of impaired assets. The IASB noticed however that some of the amendments made in introducing those requirements resulted in the requirement being more broadly applicable than the IASB had intended. These amendments to IAS 36 therefore clarify the IASB’s original intention that the scope of those disclosures is limited to the recoverable amount of impaired assets that is based on fair value less costs of disposal.

2(c) New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements Cont

AASB 2013-3 makes the equivalent amendments to AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as they are largely of the nature of clarification of existing requirements.

AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities

The amendments in AASB 2013-5 provide an exception to consolidation to investment entities and require them to measure unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments (or AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement where AASB 9 has not yet been adopted). The amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities that have subsidiaries.

These amendments apply to investment entities, whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both. Examples of entities which might qualify as investment entities would include Australian superannuation entities, listed investment companies, pooled investment trusts and Federal, State and Territory fund management authorities.

AASB 2013-5 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

This Standard has not had any impact on the Group as it does not meet the definition of an ‘investment entity’ in order to apply this consolidation exception.

AASB Interpretation 21 Levies

Interpretation 21 addresses how an entity should account for liabilities to pay levies imposed by governments, other than income taxes, in its financial statements (in particular, when the entity should recognise a liability to pay a levy).

Interpretation 21 is an interpretation of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. AASB 137 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (known as an obligating event). The Interpretation clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. For example, if the activity that triggers the payment of the levy is the generation of revenue in the current period, and the calculation of that levy is based on the revenue that was generated in a previous period, the obligating event for that levy is the generation of revenue in the current period. The generation of revenue in the previous period is necessary, but not sufficient, to create a present obligation.

The Interpretation is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

The adoption of this interpretation has not had any impact on the Group as it is not subject to any such levies addressed by the interpretation.

2(d) Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective and not been adopted early by the Group

The Group has not applied the following AASBs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities.

These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are:

• financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on: (i) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (ii) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows

• allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss). Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument

• introduces a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ measurement category for particular simple debt instruments

• financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases

• where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows:

• the change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI)

• the remaining change is presented in profit or loss

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss.

Otherwise, the following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 into AASB 9:

• classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and

• derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities

2(d) Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective and not been adopted early by the Group

AASB 9 requirements regarding hedge accounting represent a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting that enable entities to better reflect their risk management activities in the financial statements.

Furthermore, AASB 9 introduces a new impairment model based on expected credit losses. This model makes use of more forward-looking information and applies to all financial instruments that are subject to impairment accounting

The Group has not yet assessed the full impact of AASB 9 as this standard does not apply mandatorily before 1 January 2018.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and some revenue-related Interpretations:

• establishes a new revenue recognition model

• changes the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time or at a point in time

• provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics (e.g., multiple element arrangements, variable pricing, rights of return, warranties and licensing)

• expands and improves disclosures about revenue

In the Australian context, AASB 15 will apply to contracts of not-for-profit (NFP) entities that are exchange transactions. AASB 1004 Contributions will continue to apply to non-exchange transactions until the Income from Transactions of NFP Entities Project is completed (with an Exposure Draft inviting public comment on those proposals targeted for issue in Q1 2015

The Group is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 15. However, based on the Group’s preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 31 December 2017

The amendments clarify that if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognise such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods of service. In contrast, if the amount of the contributions is dependent on the number of years of service, an entity is required to attribute those contributions to periods of service using the same attribution method required by paragraph 70 of AASB 119 for the gross benefit

• apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards except principles that conflict with the guidance of AASB 11. This requirement also applies to the acquisition of additional interests in an existing joint operation that results in the acquirer retaining joint control of the joint operation (note that this requirement applies to the additional interest only, i.e., the existing interest is not remeasured) and to the formation of a joint operation when an existing business is contributed to the joint operation by one of the parties that participate in the joint operation; and

• provide disclosures for business combinations as required by AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards

AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments address a current inconsistency between AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011).

The amendments clarify that, on a sale or contribution of assets to a joint venture or associate or on a loss of control when joint control or significant influence is retained in a transaction involving an associate or a joint venture, any gain or loss recognised will depend on whether the assets or subsidiary constitute a business, as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations. Full gain or loss is recognised when the assets or subsidiary constitute a business, whereas gain or loss attributable to other investors’ interests is recognised when the assets or subsidiary do not constitute a business.

This amendment effectively introduces an exception to the general requirement in AASB 10 to recognise full gain or loss on the loss of control over a subsidiary. The exception only applies to the loss of control over a subsidiary that does not contain a business, if the loss of control is the result of a transaction involving an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method. Corresponding amendments have also been made to AASB 128 (2011).

Disclosure Initiative – Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments:

• clarify that IAS 1’s specified line items in the statement(s) of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position can be disaggregated

• add requirements for how an entity should present subtotals in the statement(s) of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position

• clarify that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes, but also emphasise that understandability and comparability should be considered by an entity when deciding that order

• remove potentially unhelpful guidance in IAS 1 for identifying a significant accounting policy.

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 31 December 2016, there will be no material impact on the financial statements.

2(e) Summary of significant accounting policies

Business combinations

Common control business combination outside the scope of AASB 3

A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these entities have been accounted for at historical amounts in the consolidated historical financial statements.

In applying pooling-of-interests accounting, financial statement items of the combining entities or businesses for the reporting period in which the common control combination occurs, and for any comparative periods disclosed, are included in the consolidated historical financial statements of the combined entity as if the combination had taken place at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.

A single uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by the combined entity. Therefore, the combined entity recognised the assets, liabilities and equity of the combining entities or businesses at the carrying amounts in the consolidated historical financial statements of the controlling party or parties prior to the common control combination. The carrying amounts are included as if such consolidated historical financial statements had been prepared by the controlling party, including adjustments required for conforming the combined entity’s accounting policies and applying those policies to all periods presented. There is no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combination.

The effects of all transactions between the combining entities or businesses, whether occurring before or after the combination, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated historical financial statements of the combined entity.

Non common control business combinations

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of a) fair value of consideration transferred, b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the parent company and all of its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2014. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 December.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.

Associates

An associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investment in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the group’s net investment in the associate) are not recognised, unless the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where a group has entity transactions with an associate of the group, profits and lossess are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Plant and equipment and depreciation

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is computed utilising the straight-line method to write off the cost of these assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Renovation 3 to 10 years (shorter of lease terms and beneficial period)Office equipment 3 to 5 yearsComputer equipment 1 year

The cost of plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of plant and equipment.

Subsequent expenditure relating to plant and equipment that have been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will flow to the Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.

For acquisitions and disposals during the financial year, depreciation is provided from the month of acquisition and to the month before disposal respectively. Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the books of accounts until they are no longer in use.

No depreciation is provided on assets under construction. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other items of plant and equipment, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date as a change in estimates.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

Financial instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

• loans and receivables• financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)• held-to-maturity (HTM) investments• available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets.

All financial assets except for those at FVTPL are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below. The Group does not have investments in FVTPL and HTM financial assets.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s trade and most other receivables and loan receivables from third parties fall into this category of financial instruments

Financial instruments Cont

Loans and receivables Cont

Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default. Receivables that are not considered to be individually impaired are reviewed for impairment in groups, which are determined by reference to the industry and region of a counterparty and other shared credit risk characteristics. The impairment loss estimate is then based on recent historical counterparty default rates for each identified group.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included in cash and cash equivalents

Determination of fair value

The fair values of quoted financial assets are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active or is unquoted, the Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs. Where fair value of unquoted instruments cannot be measured reliably, fair value is determined by the transaction price.

Equity and Reserves

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits.

Other components of equity include the following:

• Foreign currency translation reserve – comprises foreign currency translation differences arising on the translation of financial statements of the Group’s foreign entities into AUD.

• Merger reserve – The balance on the merger reserve represents the fair value of the consideration given in excess of the nominal value of the ordinary shares issued in an acquisition made by the issue of shares.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and loans and borrowings, excluding deferred revenue.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest-related charges are recognised as an expense in “finance cost” in the profit or loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of proceeds received less attributable transaction costs, if any. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost which is the initial fair value less any principal repayments. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is taken to the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. The interest expense is chargeable on the amortised cost over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions for legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Cont

No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligation is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the outflow of resources is remote in which case no liability is recognised.

Income taxes

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

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 or taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.

A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred income tax is measured:

• at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the financial position; and

• based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the date of the financial position, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

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

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Where the Group is a lessor

Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment properties and are stated at fair value and not depreciated. Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

Where the Group is a lessee

Where the Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line over the term of the lease term.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation and are not occupied by the Group. Investment properties are treated as non-current investments and are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at fair value, representing open market value determined on annual basis by an independent firm of professional valuers. Gross changes in fair values and the related tax impact are recognised in profit or loss.

Investment properties are subject to renovations or improvements at regular intervals. The cost of major renovations and improvements is capitalised as additions and the carrying amounts of the replaced components are written off to profit or loss. The cost of maintenance, repairs and minor improvement is charged to profit or loss when incurred.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. On disposal of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Transfers

Transfers to, or from, investment properties are made where there is a change in use, evidenced by:

• commencement of owner-occupation, for a transfer from investment properties to property, plant and equipment;

• commencement of development with a view to sell, for a transfer from investment properties to development properties; and

• end of owner-occupation, for a transfer from property, plant and equipment to investment properties.

Rental income and operating expenses from investment property are reported within revenue and other expenses respectively.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, other than investment property at fair value, subject to impairment test are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong will be identified.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels (cash generating units) for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which management controls the related cash flows.

Individual assets or cash-generating units that include goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or those not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually or more often if there are indicators of impairment. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use, based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation. Impairment losses recognised for cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist.

Any impairment loss is charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to equity.

• With the exception of goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount or when there is an indication that the impairment loss recognised for the asset no longer exists or decreases. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.

• A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to equity under the heading revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised in profit or loss, a decrease in that impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed, even if it relates to an impairment loss recognised in an interim period that would have been reduced or avoided had the impairment assessment been made at a subsequent reporting date.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

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

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to post-employment benefits under defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

Key management personnel

Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity. Directors are considered key management personnel.

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

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 subsidiary operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is Singapore Dollars (SGD).

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Australian Dollars. The choice of presentation currency is to better reflect the currency that mainly determines economic effects of transactions, events and conditions of the Group.

Conversion of foreign currencies

Transactions and balances

Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the date of the transactions. 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 end of the reporting period are recognised in the profit or loss, unless they arise from borrowings in foreign currencies 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 profit or loss 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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the translations.

Group entities

The results and financial position of all the 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 (including comparatives) are translated at the closing exchange rates at the end of the reporting period;

(ii) Income and expenses (including comparatives) are translated at average exchange rates; and

(iii) All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the currency translation reserve.

Revenue recognition

Membership and seminar fees are recognised upon receipt.

Referral and consultancy fees are recognised when the services are rendered and the conditions to the right to receive the fees have been satisfied.

Revenue from the rendering of management services is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the trusts for which the Group acts as the manager or a responsible entity

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time-apportionment basis using the effective interest rate method.

Revenue recognition Cont

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established.

Rental income

The Group also earns rental income from operating leases of its investment properties. Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Non-Execute Chairmen and Board collectively.

All inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm’s length prices.

The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting under AASB 8 are the same as those used in its financial statements except for corporate assets which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any operating segment are not allocated to a segment. In the financial periods under review, this primarily applies to the Group’s headquarters.

There have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss.

Term investment units

Term investment units have defined maturity dates and rank ahead of ordinary units. They are therefore classified as financial liabilities. The fair value of redeemable units is measured at the redemption amount that is payable (based on the redemption unit price) at the balance sheet date if unit holders exercised their right to put the units back to the Fund. Any surplus remaining in the Fund would be distributed to ordinary unit holders.

AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation, therefore requires the term investment units’ reserves and accumulated profits or losses to be classified as a financial liability, which is titled members’ interests. Accordingly distributions paid or payable to holders of term investment units are classified as finance costs in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.F

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST components of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

6 Going Concern Basic of Accounting

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern.

The Group generated a net loss after tax of $8,032,000 for the year ended 31 December 2014 and had a cash net outflow of $3,026,000 from operating and investing activities. The consolidated entity continues to be reliant upon completion of capital raising for continued operations and the provision of working capital.

If additional capital is not obtained, the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the Group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstance has been made in the financial report.

28 Financial instrument risk

Risk management objectives and policies

The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarised in Note 14.1. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group’s risk management is coordinated at its headquarters, in close cooperation with the board of directors, and focuses on actively securing the Group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.

The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.

Market risk analysis

The Group is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risks, which result from both its operating and investing activities.

Foreign currency sensitivity

Most of the Group’s foreign currency risk arises on the translation of transactions that are carried out other than Australian dollars into the Group’s reporting currency (AUD). The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the United States dollar (USD), Pound sterling (GBP), Singapore dollar (SGD) and Malaysian ringgit (MYR). The Group does not use forward contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk in the local functional currency.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in regards to the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the USD/AUD exchange rate, GBP/AUD exchange rate, SGD/AUD exchange rate, MYR/AUD ‘all other things being equal’. It assumes a +/- 5% change of the AUD/USD exchange rate for the year ended at 31 December 2014. A +/- 5% change is considered for the AUD/GBP exchange rate. A +/- 5% change is considered for the AUD/SGD exchange rate. A +/- 5% change is considered for the AUD/MYR exchange rate. Both of these percentages have been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Group’s foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date and also takes into account forward exchange contracts that offset effects from changes in currency exchange rates.

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s exposure to currency risk.

Interest rate sensitivity

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s bank borrowings, loans receivable from third parties have fixed interest rates and there is no significant exposure to interest rate risk for these instruments.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from cash deposits placed with the financial institutions. The Company managed the interest rate risks by placing cash deposits with reputable financial institutions on varying maturities and interest rate terms.

The sensitivity analysis for changes in interest rate is not disclosed as the effect on profit or loss is considered not significant.

Credit risk analysis

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group. The Group is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example by granting loans and receivables to customers, third parties. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:

2014 2013Classes of financial assets - A$’000 A$’000Carrying amounts:Loans and receivable from third parties 28,248 33,527Cash and cash equivalents 685 3,715Trade and other receivables 6,586 5,587

35,519 42,829

The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Group’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

As detailed in note 14, the unpaid interest receivable from Aquaint Pte Ltd, Azea Capital Pte Ltd and Baldric Pte Ltd have been renegotiated and repayment extended for a further 3 years from 1 November 2014. The Group’s management has reviewed all its loans and receivables and impairments made where required. They consider all of the other financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the 31 December reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.

At 31 December the Group has certain trade receivables that have not been settled by the contractual due date but are not considered to be impaired. The amounts at 31 December, analysed by the length of time past due, are:

Credit risk analysis Cont

Trade and other receivables

The average credit terms granted to customers is about 30 days. The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main component of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures. The allowance account in respect of trade and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Company is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point, the financial asset is considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents included in the statement of financial position represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the Company’s financial assets. There is no significant concentration of credit risk as the exposure is spread over a large number of counter-parties and customers. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.

The outstanding receivable for more than 1 year relates to the development of the property project in India and will be recoverable as the project progresses.

At the reporting date, other than as disclosed in Note 13, no other allowances for impairment have been considered necessary in respect of trade and other receivables based on the creditworthiness of the counterparties and credit quality and past collection history of the customers.

Loans receivables

Credit policies are formulated covering collateral requirements, credit assessment, risk grading and reporting, documentary and legal procedures, and compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements. All credit facilities require the approval by management as appropriate. All collateral assets must be tangible and accessible or marketable in Germany, United Kingdom, United State of America and India.

The Company has in place a monitoring system to identify early symptoms of problematic loan accounts. A risk grading system is used in determining where impairment provisions may be required against specific credit exposures. Risk grades are subject to regular reviews and credit exposures take into consideration of stress testing of the fair value of collateral and other security enhancements held against the loan and receivables.

In order to mitigate the concentration of credit risk, the loan and receivables are secured on the borrower’s assets where appropriate.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment losses that represents its estimates of incurred losses in its loan portfolio. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loan loss allowance.

The Company does not hold any collateral. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets in the statement of financial position.

Loan and receivables are neither past due or impaired except as disclosed above. There are no other loans and advances graded as doubtful as at 31 December 2014.

Cash balances are placed with reputable financial institutions of high credit rating.

Liquidity risk analysis

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business.

As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

29 Fair value measurement

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three Levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) 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: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following table shows the Levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 31 December 2014.

30 Capital management policies and procedures

The Group’s capital management objectives are:

• to ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern; and

• to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus its loan receivables, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position and cash flow hedges recognised in other comprehensive income.

The Group’s goal in capital management is to maintain a capital-to-overall financing ratio of approximately 50:50. Management assesses the Group’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. This takes into account the subordination levels of the Group’s various classes of debt. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.

The amounts managed as capital by the Group for the reporting periods under review are summarised as follows:

2014 2013A$’000 A$’000

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AQUAINT CAPITAL HOLDINGS LIMITED Report on the financial report We have audited the accompanying financial report of Aquaint Capital Holdings Limited (the “Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

93ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the books and records and the basis of accounting of the consolidated entity. Specifically, we have been unable to satisfy ourselves on the following areas:

i. Valuation and impairment of loans – India Included within non-current Loans and Receivables and Trade and Other Receivables is $30,935,000 of receivables in relation to Indian property developments being the “Azea Botanica” and “Amar Shaheed Path” projects. The impairment analysis prepared by management is based upon independent valuations of the Azea Botanica and Amar Shaheed Path projects which have been prepared on a going concern basis. The independent valuations were based on certain assumptions which may no longer be valid. In particular, the requirement to extend the maturity date of certain investments into the projects which have become due and not formally extended. We have been unable to obtain supporting evidence which provides sufficient appropriate audit evidence that investments will be realised through the completion of the projects and therefore the basis of the impairment model using a going concern assumption may not be appropriate.

ii. Going concern As set out in Note 6, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. The consolidated entity has reported a loss before income tax of $7,252,000 (including impairment charges of $8,904,000 and $2,316,000 in relation to financial assets and trade receivables respectively) for the year ended 31 December 2014. As at 31 December 2014 current liabilities exceeded current assets by $2,786,000. As disclosed in Note 6 the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the raising of additional capital.

We have been unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence as to whether the consolidated entity will be able to obtain such financing, and hence remove significant doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this auditor’s report.

iii. Related party disclosures and control A significant proportion of loans receivable as at 31 December 2014 are due from related parties.

Under Australian Accounting Standard AASB 10 the concept of control is not limited to majority ownership, rather an assessment of a number of factors including power to control through key decision making processes. We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the Company has control over a number of related parties.

94 AQUAINT CAPITAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

A significant proportion of non-current loans as at 31 December 2014 are due from related parties. The loan impairment analysis prepared by management as at 31 December 2014 is based on certain assumptions derived from director related entities. We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the loan impairment analysis prepared by management is complete.

The Company has generated significant transactions with related parties during the year ended 31 December 2014. We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether disclosures of related party transactions included within the financial report are complete.

iv. Completeness of Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the completeness of Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel and the terms and conditions at which those transactions were executed. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any of those transactions were conducted at an arms length or whether any additional disclosures are required to the relevant notes.

v. Completeness of Contingent Liabilities and Subsequent Event disclosures We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the completeness of the contingent liabilities and subsequent event disclosures. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any additional disclosures are required to the relevant notes.

vi. To the date of the directors approving the financial statements, we were not provided with sufficient appropriate audit evidence, or time, to finalise our procedures pertaining to various disclosures and transactions contained within the financial report. This constitutes a limitation of scope.

As a result of these matters, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been found necessary in respect of the elements making up the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows, and related notes and disclosures thereto.

Disclaimer of Opinion Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the financial report.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Basis for Disclaimer Opinion on the Remuneration Report We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the completeness of disclosures in relation to Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel.

Basis for Disclaimer Opinion on the Remuneration Report Disclaimer of Opinion In our opinion, due to the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion on the remuneration report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on Remuneration report for Aquaint Capital Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2014.
