Chairperson /CEO’s Speech
FOr ThE FInAnCIAL YEAr EnDED 30 JUnE 2015
Dear shareholders, customers, business partners and strategic vendors, on behalf of the management and board of directors, I present to you the results for the Financial Year ending 30th June 2015.
The macro environment has been challenging for our customers and our business. retail sales remain lackluster and marked by a highly promotional environment as the global retail industry continues to be disrupted by the rapid growth of online retailers. Similarly, consumer spending patterns changed towards fast fashion and hence presented another challenge to our customer – the traditional retailer.
One of GLG’s key customers was greatly impacted and changed their strategic plans. They shuttered a large percentage of non-performing stores despite all efforts aimed at improving in-store traffic. With this shift in strategic direction our key customer adopted a new sourcing arrangement and resulted in our loss of two core programs during the changeover period.
This naturally followed in GLG’s lower than expected overall sales revenue and we ended the year at a modest US$180M. Despite the dip in sales revenue, our average gross profit margins held up well between 8.6% and 10.4% and we met our expected margins as were prepared for the change in consumer psyche. Since then, I am happy to report that we have resumed the programs and expect to recover our sales revenue in the following year.
As part of our three-year plan, we focused spending on several growth initiatives such as enhancing our existing people infrastructure, expanding our product offerings, entering new locales to tap on new supply sources and customer relationships as well as to enhance operational efficiencies, improve on existing working conditions in tandem with our customers and innovate for systematic and sustainable change by offering procurement support, quality and compliance control and product testing and trade credit services.
We continue to work closely with our customers to strengthen their sourcing capabilities. We are currently setting up a Korean product development and sourcing office. Focused on fabric innovation,
product design and shorter lead times to support our customer in fast fashion, GLG will continually help its customers grow house brands as well as to achieve greater flexibility for E-commerce retail.
GLG has also setup an industrial engineering team to help examine and re-engineer the production workflow of our vendors and partners to achieve higher production yields with high quality assurance. This translates to more competitively priced products for our customers, reduced material wastage and helps to reduce the entire supply chain’s carbon footprint for a greener and more environmentally friendly business.
The company remains committed to adopting technology to drive productivity, increased transparency and effective control across the whole supply chain. The company’s new enterprise resource planning solution links all departments through a shared database, eliminates the need for duplicate data, reduces the occurrence of human errors and provides a shared platform from order commercialization, internal supply chain control, finance and treasury, just-in-time logistics to final product delivery.
The journey remains challenging as the global economies remains slow. We are comforted that the US which is our main market continues to recover with a strengthening US dollar. With the road mapped and the signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement with all member countries in the year ahead, GLG will continue to be the partner of choice for our customers for years ahead.
I would like to extend my gratitude to all of our shareholders, customers, suppliers and shareholders around the world for their continued support through this past year and look forward to a brighter future in the year ahead.

Director’s Report
for the financial year ended 30 June 2015
Review of Operations
GLG’s net profit decreased 22.04% to US$3,148 thousand, against a net profit of US$4,038 thousand in the previous year. The reduction in net profit was mainly due to lower revenue and a decrease in other income. however the gross profit margin increased to 10.42% compared to 8.62% in the previous year.
GLG’s sales decreased by US$45,767 thousand, or 20.26% to US$180,126 thousand compared to US$225,893 thousand in the previous year. The decline in sales was mainly due to continued weakness in the consumer market and decreased orders from a major customer which closed a significant number of their stores in 2014. The decline from this customer alone accounted for a drop of US$16,325 thousand in GLG’s revenue.
Selling and distribution costs increased by 7.73% to US$1,045 thousand compared to US$970 thousand in the previous year. The increased in the expenses was mainly due to the higher number of samples required for presentation and frequent travel for developing new and existing customers.
Administration expenses decreased 7.65% to US$11,169 thousand compared to US$12,094 thousand in the previous year. This reduction in expenses was achieved through a streamlining of processes, saving in net employee costs and management fees due to the termination of service contracts.
Other expenses increased 19.71% to US$2,514 thousand compared to US$2,100 thousand in the previous year. This was mainly due to an increase in the commitment fees paid to the manufacturer during the reporting period.
Trade and other receivables increased 8.83% to US$85,408 thousand as at 30 June 2015 compared to US$78,476 thousand as at 30 June 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the GLIT receivable. This increase was caused by timing differences due to production delays at the cut off date.
Total current payables and borrowings increased by US$5,980 thousand, or 15.43%, to US$44,726 thousand as at 30 June 2015 compared to US$38,746 thousand as at 30 June 2014. The increase was largely due to new bank borrowings and bills payable.
We believe the cash flows from operations of GLG remains sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt servicing and other funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

2. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial report comprises the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statement, the company is a for-profit entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with the Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial reporting Standards (‘IFrS’).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 September 2015.
Basis of preparation
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in US dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for sharebased payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 102 ‘Inventories’ or value in use in AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’.
40 << GLG CORP LTD
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the financial year ended 30 June 2015
2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
In the current year, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

(a) Basis of consolidation
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. Control is achieved when the company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.
A list of subsidiaries appears in note 23 to the financial statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(b) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
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.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
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.
When a change in the Group 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 previously 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 equity interest in the entity is remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest at the date when control is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
(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. All subsidiaries of GLG Corp Ltd have functional currency of United States dollars.
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 the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period.
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.

(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.

(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 profits 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 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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where the current or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

(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.
(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’s 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 premiums 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.

(h) Financial assets (cont’d)
Impairment of fnancial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. 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 cost, 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.
Derecognition of fnancial 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 recognise the financial assets and also recognises collateralised borrowings for the proceeds received.
(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. 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, fttings and offce equipment | 3-5 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5-10 years |

(k) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
(l) 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

(m) 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 Statement of Financial Position 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.
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.
(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.
Defned contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

(o) Provisions
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.
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 non-convertible 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 Statement of Financial Position 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.
Financial liabilities at fair value through proft 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; or it 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 25.
Other fnancial 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) Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts.
Further details of derivative financial instruments disclosed in note 25.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
Hedge accounting
The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk. hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
note 25 sets out details of the fair values of the derivative instruments used for hedging purposes.
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 recoverability of 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 25 to the financial statements.

The Global Trader Program status was subsequently renewed and extended for another 5 years with effect from 1 July 2012. 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%. however, the Global Trader Program status had withdrawn with effective from 1 July 2013.
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 taxed at the respective local tax rates.

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 will assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customers. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed twice a year. More than 80% of the trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have the best credit control attributable under management review. Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year, US$3,577 thousand (2014: US$4,843 thousand) is due from Macy’s 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.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 15 and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 16 and 17 respectively.
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 a 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.

(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.
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 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:

(e) 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.

(f) 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 rates 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 $4 thousand and decrease by $4 thousand (2014: increase by $4 thousand and decrease by $4 thousand). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

(g) 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 is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the Senior Management 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 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 9. This is supported by the guarantees in note 9. 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.
(h) 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 24(b) is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.
