GLG Corp Limited Corporate Governance Statement

Corporate Governance – Principles and Recommendations

GLG adopts the 2nd edition principles and recommendations put forward by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (“ASXCGC”). In accordance with the ASXCGC’s recommendations, the Corporate Governance Statement must report on the Company’s adoption of the ASXCGC’s principles and recommendations on an exception basis, whereby disclosure is required of any recommendations that have not been adopted, together with the reasons why they have not been adopted. GLG Corp Ltd’s corporate governance principles and policies are structured with reference to the ASXCGC’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (2[nd] edition), which are as follows:

(i) Lay solid foundations for management and oversight; (ii) Structure the Board to add value; (iii) Promote ethical and responsible decision making;

(iv) Safeguard integrity in financial reporting;

(v) Make timely and balanced disclosures; (vi) Respect the rights of shareholders; (vii) Recognise and manage risk; and (viii) Remunerate fairly and responsibly.

GLG Corp Ltd’s corporate governance practices were in place throughout the period ended 30 June 2011. As set out below, with the exception of the departures from the ASXCGC’s principles and recommendations in relation to the independence of the Board and Chairperson, the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer being performed by separate people and board performance evaluation, the corporate governance practices of GLG Corp Ltd were compliant with the Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

As required under the ASXCGC’s principles and recommendations and section 295 of the Corporations Act , the Board can confirm that it has received assurance from the Chief Executive Officer and Financial Controller that the declaration contained on page 21 of the Annual Report is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Independence of Board Members

ASXCGC best practice recommendation 2.1 requires a majority of the Board to be independent directors, 2.2 recommends the Chairperson should be an independent director and 2.3 requires the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer should not be exercised by the same individual.

ASXCGC provides a definition of independence to include not being a member of management and someone who is free of any other business or other relationships that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the independent exercise of their judgment. In accordance with this definition and further independence guidelines outlined in ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, three of the six directors were not considered to be independent. The ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations require the materiality threshold that was used to determine whether a director is independent to be disclosed. Notwithstanding there are no contracts outside those disclosed in the Annual Report, a level of materiality of 5% of the independent directors’ annual income has been set for any nonremuneration based consulting or other financial arrangements.

The Board acknowledges the ASXCGC recommendation to have a majority of independent directors on the Board. In assessing the composition of the Board, GLG seeks to ensure its directors are independent in thought and judgement, and expects the Directors to add value to the Company. GLG operates in an entrepreneurial environment, and both requires and benefits from the involvement of directors who have a range of specialised knowledge of, and expertise in, this business sector.

As part of discharging its obligations as directors of the Company, the Company encourages directors to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company where appropriate. Where issues or matters arise in relation to the running of the Company, that in the opinion of the Directors require independent professional advice to assist in the decision making surrounding the resolution of these issues, the Board may engage such professional advice on standard commercial terms.

GLG Corp Limited Corporate Governance Statement

The ASXCGC recommends that the Chairperson should be an independent director. The Chairperson of GLG, Estina Ang Suan Hong, the founder of the business, is integral in maintaining the business and important customer and banking relationships and carries out a strategic executive role. GLG is in the process of selecting a lead independent director to be appointed, which is recommended by the ASXCGC where the Chairperson is not an independent director. The role of the lead independent director is to act as a representative for any collective views of the non-executive directors, to ensure that the voices of the non-executive directors carry significant weight in the Board’s decision making process, and to ensure that the Board understands and maintains boundaries between the Board and management responsibilities.

The ASXCGC also recommends that the role of Chair and CEO should not be exercised by the same individual. As stated above, the Chairperson and CEO of GLG, Estina Ang Suan Hong, the founder of the business, is integral in maintaining the business and important customer and banking relationships and carries out a strategic executive role as both Chair and CEO of the Company.

The Company’s corporate governance practices and policies in relation to Nomination Committee charter, which outlines the Company’s policy for nomination and appointment of directors are publically available on the Company’s website.

Performance Evaluation

ASXCGC best practice recommendation 2.5 requires the disclosure of the process for performance evaluation of the board, its committees and individual directors. From time to time, the Company evaluates the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors. There are currently no formal policies in place for these evaluations. The Company believes the informal processes adopted are effective and efficient at the current time.

Performance evaluation of senior executives occurred during the financial year and was in accordance with the process that is disclosed in the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan. There are currently no schemes for retirement benefits, other than superannuation, for any directors.

A board evaluation was undertaken during the year with all directors completing an evaluation questionnaire. Enhancements suggested by directors are being implemented

A full outline of the Company’s securities trading policy is made publically available on the Company website.

Risk Management Policy

Risk is an inherent part of GLG’s business. GLG is in a highly competitive market sector. GLG regards material business risks as threats to the achievement of GLG’s objectives and goals and to the successful execution of its strategies.

The main risks faced by GLG are:

GLG Corp Limited Director’s Report

Review of Operations

GLG’s net profit decreased 66% to $2,705 thousand, against a net profit of $7,920 thousand in the previous year. The decline was due to lower gross margin, higher distribution expenses, administration expenses and the inclusion of an impairment charge of $2,000 thousand. In the previous financial year, there was a write back of impairment charge of $2,500 thousand as compared to a charge of $2,000 thousand in this financial year. This contributed to a drop in net profit by $4,500 thousand.

GLG’s sales increased 22% to $237,885 thousand compared to $195,495 thousand in the previous year. The increase in sales was mainly attributed to higher Freight On Board (“FOB”) unit prices resulted from higher cotton prices and increase in sales of yarn.

Cost of sales increased 24% to $217,373 thousand compared to cost of sales of $175,367 thousand in the previous year, consistent with the increase in sales.

GLG’s gross profit was $20,512 thousand compared to a gross profit of $20,128 thousand in the previous year. Gross margin declined by 1.7% to 8.6% compared to 10.3% in the previous year. This is because of surging cotton prices could not be fully passed on to the retailers as consumers’ confidence remained low.

Selling and distribution costs increased 52% to $1,597 thousand compared to $1,048 thousand in the previous year. The increase in expenses was mainly due to higher design fees paid for filling Wal-mart and Target FOB sales orders which increased by 44%.

Administration expense increased 16% to $12,535 thousand compared to $10,823 in the previous year. The increase was mainly due to the reinstatement of staff salaries and wages to pre-global crisis levels in order to avoid high staff turnover as business trading conditions improved.

Trade and other receivables increased by 37% to $31,313 thousand as at 30 June 2011 compared to $22,819 thousand as at 30 June 2010 mainly due to higher sales.

Total current payables and borrowings increased by $13,369 thousand, or 219%, to $19,482 thousand as at 30 June 2011 compared to $6,121 thousand as at 30 June 2010 due to increase in purchases of cotton yarn. As noted above the Company has taken a conservative position of getting the factories to purchase the required cotton yarn upfront prior to tender or upon receipt of an order.

Cash flows from operations increased to $25,668 thousand for the year ended 30 June 2011 compared to $12,149 thousand in the prior year. The increase in the cash flow from operating activities was mainly due to higher revenue, and improvement in cash management and collection efficiency.

We believe the cash flows from operations of GLG remains sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debts servicing and other funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of GLG Corp Ltd, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, 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 as set out on pages 21 to 63.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control, relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives 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 the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the consolidated entity, being the Company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’. A list of subsidiaries appears in note 24 to the financial statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. The consolidated financial statements have been accounted for as reverse acquisition of companies under common control and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the reverse acquisition accounting method.

Income and expense of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropraite. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.

(b) Joint venture arrangements

Jointly controlled entities

Interest in jointly controlled entities in which the Group is a venturer (and so has joint control) are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements and the cost method in the Company financial statements.

Investments in jointly controlled entities where the Group is an investor but does not have joint control over that entity are accounted for as an available-for-sale financial asset or, if the Group has significant influence, by using the equity method.

(c) Foreign currency

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in its functional currency being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in United States dollars, which is the functional currency of GLG Corp Ltd and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

  • (c) Foreign currency (cont’d)

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except that:

  • (i) exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings (refer note 2 (k));

  • (ii) exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and

  • (iii) exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated in United States dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the groups foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity on or after the date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Goodwill arising on acquisitions before the date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards is treated as a United States dollar denominated asset.

  • (d) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

  • (i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

(ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.

  • (e) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, stock rotation, price protection, rebates and other similar allowances.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered to buyers’ forwarders which is taken to be the point in time when the buyers have accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership.

Rendering of services

Rendering of services is commission income recognised upon completion of services rendered to fabric suppliers and garments manufacturers.

Dividend and interest revenue

Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

  • (f) Income tax

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the consolidated entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company/consolidated entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprise cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and have a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

32

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(h) Financial assets

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss which are initially measured at fair value.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the Company’s financial statements. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements and the cost method in the Company financial statements.

Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ financial assets, and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premium or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’.

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.

Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.

The carrying amount of financial assets including uncollectible trade receivables is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized through profit and loss.

For financial assets carried at amortised costs, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of financial assets including uncollectible trade receivables is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognised the financial assets and also recognises a collateralised borrowings for the proceeds received.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

  • (i) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, valued on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

  • (j) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are carried in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, including freehold buildings but excluding land. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation

Leasehold improvements 5-10 years
Plant and equipment 5- 10 years
Furniture, fittings and office 3-5 years
equipment
Motor vehicles 5-10 years

(k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset, 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. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(l) Leased assets

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.

Group as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

34

GLG Corp Limited Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(l) Leased assets (cont’d)

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Lease incentives

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefits of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

(m) Intangible assets

Patents, trademarks and licences

Patents, trademarks and licences are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

- - Internally generated intangible assets research and development costs

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred.

An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following are demonstrated

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development

- Internally generated intangible assets

Internally-generated intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment, and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as follows:

  • capitalised development costs 5 years

(n) Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of short term employee benefits are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

35

GLG Corp Limited Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(n) Employee benefits (cont’d) Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

(o) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Warranties

Provisions for warranty costs are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the Directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the consolidated entity’s liability.

(p) Financial instruments issued by the Company

Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Compound instruments

The component parts of compound instruments are classified separately as liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar nonconvertible debt. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or upon the instruments reaching maturity. The equity component initially brought to account is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the amount of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects and is not subsequently remeasured.

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

Interest and dividends

Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the balance sheet classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities.

36

GLG Corp Limited Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

  • (p) Financial instruments issued by the Company (cont’d) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss where the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is held for trading if:

  • it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near future; or

  • it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

  • A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading is designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; orit forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 27.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

(q) Reclassification of financial information The Company has reassessed its presentation of discounts and rebates received from suppliers to ensure items are classified within the Statement of Comprehensive Income consistent with the company’s accounting policy on inventories. Based on this reassessment, it was determined that certain amounts in the Statement of Comprehensive Income recognised within the lines other revenue and other income should be classified and recognised within cost of sales. Overall this reclassification has nil impact on the net profit after tax disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income but the other revenue/other income and cost of sales line items both reduce by US$964 thousand. Due to this reassessment a reclassification was also completed within the Statement of cash flows with receipts from customers decreasing US$964 thousand and payments to suppliers decreasing by the same amount. This has nil impact on net cash flow from operating activities and the net cash increase for the year.

37

GLG Corp Limited Notes to the Financial Statements

3. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Receivables

Management refer to the current carrying value of the GLIT receivable (the Company’s primary sourcing partner), The carrying value of this receivable has been based on management’s judgment and based on various underlying assumptions and estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Foreign Currency

The Group enters into certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies to manage the risk associated with anticipated garment export transactions. Further details of foreign currency transactions are disclosed in note 27 to the financial statements.

(i) One of the subsidiary companies, Ghim Li Global Pte Ltd was awarded the Global Trader Program status for a period of 5 years from 1 January 2003. The Global Trader Program status were subsequently renewed and extended for another 5 years with effect from 1 January 2008. Subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the Income Tax Act of Singapore and the Global Trader Program, income derived from qualifying trading transactions is taxed at the concessionary rate of 10%.

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law. There has been no change in the corporate tax rate when compared with the previous reporting period. However, for the purposes of tax reconciliation, certain subsidiaries were operating in Singapore and Hong Kong, in which these entities are taxable at the respective local tax rates.

The Singapore government announced on 15 February 2007 that the corporate income tax rate will be changed from 20% to 18% with effect from the Year of Assessment 2008 after which on 22[nd] January 2009 there is another corporate tax reduction from 18% to 17% for Year of Assessment 2010 onwards.

The Hong Kong government has announced on 27 February 2008 that the corporate income tax rate will be changed from 17.5% to 16.5% with effect from the Year of Assessment 2009.

The Group has no current intention to dispose of these investments, a deferred tax liability has not been recognised in relation to investments within the tax-consolidated group. Furthermore, temporary differences that might arise on disposal of the entities in the tax-consolidated group cannot be reliably measured because of the inherent uncertainties surrounding the nature of any future disposal that might occur.

  • (i) Third parties offset: When GLG receives an order from a customer, it either receives a letter of credit or an open account for the customer. Upon completion of the order, GLG converts this letter of credit or open account into a bill payable with a bank. GLG will then use the cash to pay its creditors. When the letter of credit matures or the customer pays off the open account, the bank will offset funds from the third party trade receivable against bills payable.

  • (ii) Other party- GLIT Group and Related Parties offsets: Presently, and reflected in the Statement of Financial Position at 30 June 2011, when Other Party-GLIT Group buys fabric from textile mills GLG issues a letter of credit on their behalf. In order to maximize the discounts available, GLG converts for the letter of credit it has issued into a Trust Receipt.

The bank will immediately pay the textile mill. After completion of the apparel order, Other Party- GLIT invoices GLG and a trade payable is recorded. GLG immediately has a legally enforceable right to offset the amount owed against the Other Party- GLIT and settle the balance, if any, with Other Party- GLIT on a net basis.

The offset takes place between 90 days to 120 days depending on the date of maturity of the Trust Receipt. A similar offset arrangement has been made with Related Parties transactions.

Refer also to Note 10 (i) for details of the Ghim Li Group Pte Ltd guarantee issued in respect of the other party-GLIT Group receivable.

The average credit period on sales of goods and rendering of services is 60 days. No interest is charged on the trade receivables outstanding balance.

Before accepting any new customers, the Group uses an external scoring system to assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customers. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed twice a year. 80% of the trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have the best credit scoring attributable under the external credit scoring system used by the Group. Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year, $12.5 million (2010: $9.1 million) is due from Macy the Group’s largest customer.

*Includes the provision for doubtful debts for trade receivables and other financial assets.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the Directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

15. Borrowings (cont’d)

Summary of borrowing arrangements:

  • (i) Secured by corporate guarantee from Ghim Li Group Pte Ltd and negative pledge over all assets of Ghim Li Global Pte Ltd.

  • (ii) The non current borrowings consist of a term loan of US$2,040 thousand (2010: US$2,784 thousand) which is repayable by a reducing balance method of 48 monthly average installments of US$115 thousand (30 June 2010: US$115 thousand). The average effective interest rate charge is 5% per annum.

  • (iii) Trust Receipts offsettable US$34,438 thousand (30 June 2010: US$34,331 thousand). See note 9.

  • (iv) Bills payable offsettable US$759 thousand (30 June 2010: US$7,129 thousand). See note 9.

  • (v) Banking relationship: the Group is dependent on bank facilities to support the working capital requirement of its operations. Presently, the bank facilities provided to the Group are uncommitted short term trade financing facilities which are renewable annually by the banks. At 30 June 2011 GLG Corp Ltd had financing facilities available of US$108.5 million (US$72.6 million was used and US$35.9 million is unused). This is compared with US$105.5 million at 30 June 2010 (US$58.1 million was used and US$47.2 million was unused). GLG continued to have the strong support of its core banking relationship for its working capital requirements. GLG has largely completed the sourcing of additional bank facilities from Singapore based banks if there is a need to replace facilities from banks who because of capital and credit risk constraints, may limit or suspend their corporate lending business.

The weighted average effective interest rates for bank overdrafts, bills payable and trust receipts at the balance sheet date were as follows:

2011 2010
Bank overdrafts US prime rate US prime rate
Bank loans 5.02%p.a. 6.82%p.a.
Trust receipts / Bills payable 1.60% -2.25% 1.60% -2.75%
Finance lease liabilities 4.94%p.a. 5.20%p.a.

(a)

Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2010.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 15, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 16, 17 and 18 respectively. In addition, trust receipts are utilized as disclosed in note 9 in managing the capital of the Group.

Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand the group’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of tax and repayment of maturing debt. The Group’s policy is to borrow centrally, using of variety of capital market issues and borrowing facilities, to meet anticipated funding requirements.

Gearing ratio

An integral function of the Group’s Board is risk management. The Board reviews the capital structure on a semi-annual basis. As part of this review the Board considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group’s gearing is managed internally to meet industry norms. GLG Corp Ltd, as disclosed in earlier notes 9 and 15, has the ability to offset trust receipts with receivables due to the nature of their operations, which has the effect of reducing apparent debt levels. The operation of the trust receipts is detailed in note 9. Based on recommendations of the Board the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

The gearing ratio at year end was as follows:

(c) Financial risk management objectives

The Group co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the consolidated entity.

The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the consolidated entity’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis.

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group minimises its financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rate through the natural hedge of matching its revenues and purchases in US dollars and matching of its assets and liabilities in US dollars.

(d)

Foreign currency risk management

The Group minimises its financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rate through the natural hedge of matching a significant portion of its revenues and purchases in US dollars and matching a significant portion of its assets and liabilities in US dollars. The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date is as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to movements in the value of Singapore dollars and Hong Kong dollars compared to the US dollar.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the United States dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number indicates an increase in profit or loss where the United States dollars strengthens against the respective currency. For a weakening of the United States dollars against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit, and the balances below would be negative.

Interest rate risk management

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and define risk appetite; ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning the balance sheet or protecting interest expense through different interest rate cycles.

The Group’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rate’s for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s:

  • net profit would increase by $52 thousand and decrease by $11 thousand (2010: increase by $10 thousand and decrease by $15 thousand). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

(f) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded are spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee annually. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis

Trade accounts receivable consist of a number of retail customers located in the United States of America. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable and, where appropriate, trading within the credit limits or discounting of receivables on non-recourse basis with credit acceptance or insurance in place.

The consolidated entity does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics except to the GLIT receivable as disclosed in Note 10. This is supported by the guarantees in Note 10. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

The Company also faces risks of orders cancellation. This is related to fabric, accessories and manufacturing cost incurred on orders cancelled prior to shipment. The company is now exploring credit insurance to cover this risk as well.

(g) Liquidity risk management

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in note 26(b) is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.
