Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”); the Singapore Charities Act, Cap 37 (the “Charities Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. Auditor’s 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 about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 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 of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of changes in funds of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Charities Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Company as at 30 June 2016 and of the financial performance, changes in funds of the Group and the Company and cash flow of the Group for the year ended on that date.

Other Matters The audit report of one of the subsidiaries contained the following emphasis of matter: Although the subsidiary’s current liabilities exceeded the current assets, and the accumulated losses exceeded the paid-up capital and reserves, by S$1,439,027 and S$1,439,027 respectively as at 30 June 2016, the financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the subsidiary is a going concern as the holding company has given written confirmation of its continuing financial support for the subsidiary. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter. R EP ORT ON O T H E R LE G A L A N D R E G UL ATORY RE QUIRE M E N TS In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

b.

The Company has not complied with the requirements of regulation 15 (Fund-raising expenses) of the Charities (Institutions of a Public Character) Regulations.

C ORP ORAT E I N F O R MAT I O N Association of Muslim Professionals was incorporated in Singapore as a company limited by guarantee without a share capital. Each ordinary member undertakes to contribute to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up while he is a member, or within one year after he ceases to be a member, for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company contracted before he ceases to be a member and of the costs, charges and expenses of winding up, such amount as may be required but not exceeding S$100. As at 30 June 2016, the Company has 991 (2015: 977) ordinary members. In addition, the Company has 305 (2015: 302) associate members who do not bear any liability in the event of the Company being wound up. The principal activity of the Company is to engage in self-help projects for the betterment of the Malay/Muslim community in particular, and Singaporeans in general. The Company is an approved charity under the Charities Act, Cap. 37 and has been accorded the status of an Institution of a Public Character (“IPC”) for the period from 10 October 2014 to 9 October 2018.

Basis of Preparation The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”). The financial statements, expressed in Singapore Dollar (SGD or S$) are prepared on 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 accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial year. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions used that are significant to the financial statements, and areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are disclosed in Note 3.

FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

50

In the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised FRSs and Interpretations of FRS (“INT FRS”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. The adoption of these new/revised FRSs and INT FRSs does not result in changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years. 2.2

Group Accounting Basis of Consolidation The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2016 relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred as the “Group”). Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Please refer to Note 2.18.2 for the subsequent accounting policy on goodwill.

2.3

Investments in Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half 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.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 30 JUNE 2016

Non-controlling interests is that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the equity holders of the Company. They are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests based on their respective interests in a subsidiary, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s statement of financial position. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of an investment in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is taken to the statement of comprehensive income. When a change in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control over the subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary including any goodwill are derecognised. Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are also reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings if required by a specific Standard. Any retained interest in the entity is remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained investment at the date when control is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amount of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributable to owners of the parent. 2.4

Property, Plant and Equipment 2.4.1

Measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Freehold property is stated in the statement of financial position at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are carried out by an independent professional valuer once every two financial years such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the statement of financial position date.

Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of the freehold property is credited to the property revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, in which case the increase is credited to the statement of comprehensive income to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in carrying amount arising on the revaluation of freehold property is charged to the statement of comprehensive income to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the property revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. 2.4.2

Components of Costs The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment 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.

2.4.3

Leased Assets Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment acquired by finance leases is stated at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

2.4.4

Depreciation Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives as follows: Years Freehold property Furniture and fittings

30 5

Office equipment

Renovation

The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each statement of financial position date. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use. No depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment which is still under construction.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 30 JUNE 2016

2.4.5

Subsequent Expenditure Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of 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.

2.4.6

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 statement of comprehensive income. Any amount in revaluation reserve relating to that asset is transferred to retained earnings.

2.5

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets 2.5.1

Property, Plant and Equipment Investments in Subsidiaries 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 Cash-Generating-Units 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 statement of comprehensive income unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill 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) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Financial Assets 2.6.1

Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial assets are recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured as fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

2.6.2

Subsequent Measurement The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by FRS 39. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. The Group has not designated any financial assets upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include exchange differences, interest and dividend income. Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 30 JUNE 2016

ii. Loans and receivables Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. iii. Held-to-maturity investments Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the investment to maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the held-to-maturity investments are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. iv. Available-for-sale financial assets Available for-sale financial assets include equity and debts securities. Equity investments classified as available-for-sale are those, which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment loss. 2.6.3

Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. 2.7

Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. 2.7.1

Financial Assets Carried at Amortised Cost For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of the financial asset. To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has incurred, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the business environment where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the issuer) that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.

2.7.3

Available-For-Sale Financial Assets In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence of impairment include: i. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor, ii. information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in equity instrument may not be recovered; and iii. a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its costs. ‘Significant’ is to be evaluated against the original cost of the investment and ‘prolonged’ against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss is transferred from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses in respect of equity instruments are not recognised in profit or loss; increase in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss. Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increases can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed in profit or loss.

Financial Liabilities 2.8.1

Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of other financial liabilities, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

2.8.2

Subsequent Measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows: i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss. The Group has not designated any financial liabilities upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. ii. Other financial liabilities After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

2.8.3

Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 30 JUNE 2016

2.9

Fair Value Estimation The fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date. The quoted market prices used for financial assets held by the Group are the current bid prices; the appropriate quoted market prices for financial liabilities are the current ask prices. The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each statement of financial position date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used where appropriate. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are also used to determine the fair values of the financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair values of non-current receivables for disclosure purposes are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rates that are available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

2.10

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and which form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

2.11

Income Taxes Current income tax liabilities (and assets) for the current and prior periods are recognised at the amounts expected to be paid to (or recovered from) the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred income tax assets/liabilities are recognised for all deductible taxable 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 assets/liabilities arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at: i.

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 substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date; and

ii.

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

Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expenses in the statement of comprehensive income for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax on temporary differences arising from the revaluation gains and losses on land and buildings, fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale financial assets and cash flow hedges, and the liability component of convertible debts are charged or credited directly to equity in the same period the temporary differences arise. Deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition. 2.12

Functional and Presentation Currency 2.12.1 Functional and Presentation Currency Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollar (SGD), which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. 2.12.2 Foreign Currencies Transactions Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Currency translation gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.13

Revenue Recognition Donations from individuals, companies and other organisations are recorded when received. The Company derives approximately 6.40% (2015: 8%) of the voluntary donations in the form of cash. Due to the nature of these donations, the Company has limited accounting controls over the contributions prior to the initial entry in the accounting records. Government matching grant, MBMF, school fees, tuition fees and other income are accounted for on the accrual basis.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 30 JUNE 2016

Revenue from projects undertaken by a subsidiary, Centre for Research on Islamic and Malay Affairs Pte Ltd, is recognised based on the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-of-completion for a given project is determined based on costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs of the project. Project costs include subcontractor costs, direct staff salaries and other related overhead expenses. Provisions for foreseeable losses on uncompleted projects are made in the year in which such losses are determined. 2.14

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. Jobs credit grants, which are government grants given to match staff and business costs, are recognised in the month of payment only as certain conditions have to be fulfilled before payment.

2.15

Employee Benefits 2.15.1 Defined Contribution Pension Costs The Group makes contributions to the Central Provident Fund Scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme. These contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed. 2.15.2 Employee Leave Entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to statement of financial position date.

2.16

Finance Costs Interest expense and similar charges are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income 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 statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method.

Accumulated Fund 2.17.1 Unrestricted Funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the board of directors in the furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for specific purposes. 2.17.2 Restricted Funds Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restriction imposed by the fund providers. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in Note 14.

2.18

Intangible Assets 2.18.1 Other Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial acquisition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over the estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if the events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such intangible assets are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 30 JUNE 2016

2.18.2 Goodwill on Acquisitions Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of their identifiable net assets and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies at the date of acquisition. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. Goodwill on subsidiaries is recognised separately as intangible assets and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill on associated companies is included in the carrying amount of the investments. Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold, except for goodwill arising from acquisitions prior to 1 January 2001. Such goodwill was adjusted against retained earnings in the year of acquisition and not recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on disposal. The amortisation period and amortisation method of intangible assets other than goodwill are reviewed at least at each statement of financial position date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the changes arise. 2.19

2.20

Leases 2.20.1 Operating Leases Leases of assets in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are taken to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place. 2.20.2 Finance Leases Leases of assets in which the Company assumes substantially the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the finance cost is taken to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

2.21

Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance costs.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 30 JUNE 2016

Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

C RI T I C A L A C C O UN T I N G E ST I MAT E S A N D JUD G E M E N T Estimates and judgement 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 circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation The Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete assets that have been abandoned or sold. Allowance for Doubtful Debts Allowance 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. The indication of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expected outcome is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debts expenses in the period in which such estimates have been changed. Impairment of Investment and Financial Assets The Group follows the guidance of FRS 36 and FRS 39 in determining when an investment or financial assets is other-thantemporary impaired. This assessment requires significant judgement. The Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment or financial asset is less than its cost; and the financial health of and near-term business outlook for the investment or financial asset, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

Carrying Amount At end of year

The Group adopted the revaluation model for the freehold property. Revaluations are carried out by an independent professional valuer once every two financial years. A valuation for the premises at 150 Changi Road #04-06 & 04-07 Guthrie Building Singapore 419973 was performed by Robert Khan and Co. Pte Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2016. The valuation report dated 5 May 2016 indicated a market value of S$7,400,000 as at 27 April 2016. The market value was derived based on an open market value on an existing use basis. The carrying amount of freehold property would have been S$505,400 (2015: S$654,860) had the freehold property been carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment of the Group and Company includes an amount of S$6,985 (2015: S$38,248) in respect of office equipment held under finance lease.

As such, it is not practicable to determine with sufficient reliability the fair values of the investment; hence it is stated at cost. The management does not anticipate that the carrying amount of the above investment in unquoted shares will be significantly in excess of the fair values.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, foreign currency, and interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing this risk and the policies of managing each of these risks are summarised below: Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that counter parties may default on their contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group’s customer portfolio is diversified and there is no reliance on any customer. These exposures are monitored and provision for potential credit losses is adjusted when necessary. The aggregate amount of its trade and other receivables and bank balance represents the Group maximum exposure to credit risk. Cash and bank balances are placed with reputable local financial institutions. Therefore, credit risk arises mainly from the inability of the Group's customers to make payments when due. The amounts presented in the statement of financial position are net of allowances for impairment of trade receivables, estimated by management based on prior experience and the current economic environment. The Group monitors its credit collection regularly as a means of managing credit risk. Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 7 (Trade and other receivables). Foreign Currency Risk Foreign exchange risk arises from change in foreign exchange rates that may have an adverse effect on the Group in the current reporting period and in the future years. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal as all transactions are dealt with in local currency. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Group monitors its net operating cash flow and maintains an adequate level of cash and cash equivalent. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.
