Dear Sir or Madam,
MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RESPECT OF
THE ACQUISITION OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF OCEAN SKY GLOBAL (S) PTE. LTD.
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 7 January 2013 in relation to the Share Purchase Agreement.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details regarding the Share Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
A. THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The Board announced that on 6 January 2013, the Company and the Purchaser entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with the Seller. The main terms of the Share Purchase Agreement are set out below.
Date: 6 January 2013
Parties: (a) the Seller (b) the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (c) the Company
Assets to be acquired:
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Seller agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the Sale Shares, representing the entire issued share capital of the Target Company.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Seller and its ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.
Consideration:
The consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares shall be:
-
(a) the payment by the Purchaser to the Seller at Completion of the Initial Consideration; and
-
(b) subject to the adjustments (if any) provided for in the paragraphs (i) to (iii) described below, the payment by the Purchaser to the Seller within 3 Business Days of the receipt by the Purchaser of the Final Completion Accounts of the sum of US$19,250,000.
The Consideration would fully be settled in cash.
The amount payable pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, in any one or more of the following circumstances, be:
-
(i) reduced by US$1.00 for every US$1.00 that the Pro Forma FY2012 Net Profit is less than US$10,000,000;
-
(ii) reduced by US$1.00 for every US$1.00 that the Completion NTA is less than US$40,000,000; and
-
(iii) reduced by US$1.00 for every US$1.00 that the Net Debt exceeds US$2,400,000,
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
provided that under paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above, the final amount payable pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be determined after allowing any surplus to the Completion NTA or any shortfall to the Net Debt to be set off against any surplus to the Net Debt or any shortfall to the Completion NTA (as the case may be), subject to a maximum set off of US$2,000,000 each.
For the avoidance of doubt, the amount payable pursuant to paragraph (b) and paragraphs (i) to (iii) above shall not be less than US$1.00 and shall not exceed US$19,250,000.
The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Parties on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis with reference to factors including the unaudited consolidated financial results of the Target Group for the two years ended 31 December 2011 and nine months ended 30 September 2012 and the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Target Group as at 30 September 2012.
Although the financial information of the Target Group for the two years ended 31 December 2011 and nine months ended 30 September 2012 has not taken into account the Reorganisation, the Board considers there is no material financial impact of the Reorganisation. The premium of the Consideration over the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Target Group as at 30 September 2012 of approximately US$33.4 million is approximately 64.7%. Having taken into consideration on the then market conditions of the listed companies on Main Board of the Stock Exchange which are principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of garments, the Board considers the price-to-earnings ratio and the price-to-book ratio of 4.5 and 1.7 of the Target Group as at 30 September 2012 respectively is fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Company will finance the Acquisition by a term loan with a bank of US$35 million and the revolving facilities of US$15 million totalling US$50 million. The remaining US$5 million shall be financed by internal resources.
Escrow arrangement:
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Seller, the Purchaser and the Company have entered into the Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Purchaser has paid to the Escrow Agent the Deposit, to be held and applied upon the terms and conditions contained in the Escrow Agreement, and on the following terms and conditions set out in the Share Purchase Agreement:
-
(a) the Deposit will upon Completion represent part payment of the Initial Consideration and shall be paid to the Seller upon Completion;
-
(b) the Deposit shall be refunded and released to the Purchaser upon demand by the Purchaser when the Share Purchase Agreement is rescinded or terminated within the Due Diligence Period, thereafter which subject to paragraph (c)
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
below, the Deposit will (i) upon Completion represent part payment of the Initial Consideration; or (ii) in any other circumstances be released to the Seller.
if the Deposit is to be refunded and released to the Purchaser in the above manner, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller the costs and expenses actually incurred by the Seller in the negotiation, preparation and performance of the Share Purchase Agreement up to a maximum sum of US$500,000, and the remainder of the Deposit shall be released to the Purchaser.
The Seller shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser the Supplemental Disclosure Letter upon Completion. In the event that any information disclosed in the Supplemental Disclosure Letter shows that any change, event or circumstance has occurred which has a material adverse change in and effect on the business, assets, liabilities and financial condition of the Target Group, the Purchaser shall be entitled to have full refund of the Deposit and to terminate the Share Purchase Agreement forthwith.
- (c) if the Due Diligence Period allowed for the due diligence investigation is extended by mutual agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser (the ‘‘Extended Due Diligence Period’’), US$1 million of the Deposit shall become non-refundable and will either (i) upon Completion represent part payment of the Initial Consideration; or (ii) in any other circumstances be released to the Seller. The remaining US$1,750,000 of the Deposit (the ‘‘Remaining Deposit’’) shall be refunded and released to the Purchaser only if the Share Purchase Agreement is validly rescinded or terminated within the Extended Due Diligence Period, thereafter which the Remaining Deposit will either (i) upon Completion represent part payment of the Initial Consideration; or (ii) in any other circumstances be released to the Seller.
The Due Diligence Period was extended to 26 February 2013 by mutual agreement between the Parties. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the due diligence investigation conducted by the Purchaser covering the legal, financial, operational, tax, accounting and business aspects of the Target Group has been completed, and the results of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser. The Directors consider that there is no material adverse matter in the results of the due diligence investigation which needs to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
Since the Due Diligence Period was extended by mutual agreement between the Parties, the said sum of US$1 million of the Deposit has become non-refundable pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.

C. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The Target Group is principally engaged in the designing, manufacturing, sales and marketing of apparel and accessories in Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Headquartered in Singapore, the Target Group has established production facilities in Cambodia and Vietnam and its customer portfolio included global apparel brands and retailers. The Board believes that through the proposed Acquisition, the Group can diversify its production bases outside China in countries with relatively low labour costs and expand its customer base, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the Group. The
– 16 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Board further believes that the Group will be benefited from the expansion of the Group’s production capacities in Cambodia as the Group has been requested by a European customer to consider expanding its production base to Cambodia which enjoys duty benefits in exporting goods to Europe. The Board considers that the proposed Acquisition would be beneficial to the long term development of the Group and in the commercial interest of the Group as a whole.
As discussed in the Company’s interim report 2012, though the cost in China has not increased significantly during the said reporting period, it is still expected that the cost will continue to increase in the next few years. It is the Group’s mission plan to continue to expand non China production base. The Acquisition is in line with this strategy.
Having regard to the above and in particular the price to earning ratio as implied from the Consideration and the unaudited consolidated net profits of the Target Group, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Acquisition, the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the Parties and are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
D. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTION
Upon Completion, the Target Group Companies will become the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the financial results of the Target Group Companies will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.
Assets
As at 31 December 2012, the audited consolidated total assets of the Group amounted to approximately US$687,248,000.
As set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 31 December 2012, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total assets of the Enlarged Group would be approximately US$778,688,000.
Liabilities
As there will be a specific bank loan for financing the Acquisition, the liabilities of the Group will be increased.
As at 31 December 2012, the audited consolidated total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately US$342,274,000.
As set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 31 December 2012, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$435,214,000.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Cashflow
As the Acquisition will be mainly financed by a specific bank loan, it is expected that there would be no material negative impact to the cashflow of the Group.
Earnings
For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Group recorded profit attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately US$38,635,000. Meanwhile the Target Group recorded audited consolidated net profits from continuing operations after tax of US$13.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. Hence, our Directors consider that the Target Group will contribute positively to the revenue and earnings base of the Enlarged Group.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purpose only, based on the judgments and assumptions of the Directors, and, because of its hypothetical nature, it may not reflect the true financial position of the Enlarged Group as at the Completion Date or any future date. Moreover, since the actual fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Target Company as at the Completion Date would be different from their estimated fair values used in the preparation of the audited financial statement as at 31 December 2012, the actual financial effects of the Acquisition might be materially different from the financial position as shown in Appendix III to this circular.
E. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE TARGET GROUP
Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the Target Group for each of the three financial years ended 31 December 2012.
Business review
The Target Company was a company established in Singapore with limited liability. The Target Group are primarily engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, sales and marketing of apparel in Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Currently, the US is the Target Group’s largest export market. The Target Group’s sales and profitability will be affected by any economic, political, regulatory or social factors, or any domestic security concerns, which may result in a downturn in the US economy or affect our ability to export to the US. The Target Group will therefore continue to expand its market base to effectively reduce the Target Group’s dependence on the US Market.
The Target Group’s customers consisted of several international brands, such as Old Navy, Gap, Adidas, Columbia Sportswear and Banana Republic. The Target Group will continue to foster good relationship and build strategic partnerships with customers to ensure continuous growth with existing customers while increasing our customer base to effectively reduce our dependence on any single customer.

The Target Group’s revenue has steadily increased in incremental amount between the years of 2010 and 2011. The steady growth in revenue was driven by increase in customer demand and successful new market expansion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Future plans for significant investment
There are no current plans for material investment of capital assets in the coming year.
F. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
As mentioned above, the Board believes that through the proposed Acquisition, the Group can diversify its production bases outside China in countries with relatively low labour costs and expand its customer base, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the Group. The Board further believes that the Group will be benefited from the expansion of the Group’s production capacities in Cambodia, which would strengthen the Group’s market position, increase the Group’s income stream and bring a long term benefit to the Enlarged Group and its shareholders.
G. LISTING RULE IMPLICATIONS
As the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders or any of their respective Associates have any material interest in the Acquisition, and no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to approve the Acquisition.
On 7 January 2013, the Company obtained a written approval to the Acquisition from Capital Glory, the controlling shareholder of the Company, which is beneficially interested in approximately 61.16% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, which approved the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated in the Share Purchase Agreement for so long as the Purchaser is satisfied with the due diligence investigation conducted pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement and there has not been any breach of any term by the Seller under the Share Purchase Agreement. By reason of the written approval from the controlling shareholder of the Company, an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to approve the Acquisition is not required pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules and will not be convened.
H. GENERAL
The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and trading of apparels and accessories, the provision of freight forwarding and logistics services.

-
(ii) On 1 October 2012, certain assets, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$1,057,000, and the equity interest in Ocean Star Apparel (Guangzhou) Pte. Ltd. were transferred back from the Target Company to OSIL at a consideration of US$21,017,412.
-
(iii) The net consideration of the above transfers was US$16,223,245 and will be satisfied by the allotment and issue of 16,223,245 shares of the Target Company to OSIL upon the completion of the transaction.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.2 Subsidiaries
2.2.1 Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Target Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Target Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Target Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognized in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.
(a) Business combinations
Except for the Reorganisation as described in note 1(b) above, the Target Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Target Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Target Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.
– 38 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions — that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Target Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Target Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
2.2.2 Separate financial statements
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Target Company on the basis of dividend and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.
2.3 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as executive directors that makes strategic decisions.
2.4 Foreign currency translation
- (a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘‘the functional currency’’). The consolidated financial information is presented in US dollars (‘‘US$’’), which is the Target Company’s functional and the Target Group’s presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
– 39 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within ‘finance income or cost’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within ‘other gains/(losses) — net’.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available for sale, are included in other comprehensive income.
(c) Target Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Target Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
(i) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
(ii) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
-
(iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognized in equity.
2.5 Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings comprise mainly factories, offices and hostel for employees. Leasehold land classified as finance lease and all other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
– 40 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Leasehold land classified as finance lease commences amortization from the time when the land interest becomes available for its intended use. Freehold land is not depreciated. Amortization on leasehold land classified as finance lease and depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straightline method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Leasehold land | Over the terms of lease |
|---|---|
| Building | Over the terms of leases from 5 to 39 years |
| Plant, machinery and equipment | 5–10 years |
| Motor vehicles | 3–5 years |
| Furniture, fittings and other equipment | 3–5 years |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within ‘Other (losses)/gains — net’ in the income statement.
2.6 Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Target Group’s interest in net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (‘‘CGUs’’), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life — for example, goodwill are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cashgenerating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
– 41 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.8 Non-current assets or disposal groups held-for-sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. The disposal groups are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets (other than investments in subsidiaries and associates) and investment properties, even if held for sale, would continue to be measured in accordance with the policies set out elsewhere in note 2.
The assets and liabilities of the disposal group have been classified as ‘‘assets held-for-sale ‘‘and ‘‘liabilities held-for-sale’’ in the consolidated balance sheet at the balance sheet date. The comparative figures have not been restated. The post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations has been presented in a single amount in the consolidated income statement. The comparatives figures have been restated to be consistent.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Target Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Target Group and which represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
When an operation is classified as discontinued, a single amount is presented in the income statement, which comprises the post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation and the post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell, or on the disposal, of the assets or disposal groups constituting the discontinued operation.
2.9 Financial assets
2.9.1 Classification
The Target Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and loan and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Target Group’s loans and receivables comprise ‘‘trade and other receivables’’ and ‘‘cash and cash equivalents’’ in the consolidated balance sheet (notes 2.14 and 2.15).

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date — the date on which the Target Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Target Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.10 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.11 Impairment of financial assets — Assets carried at amortized cost
The Target Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘‘loss event’’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Target Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

APPENDIX II
2.12 Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument.
2.13 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the firstin, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
2.14 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
2.15 Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.16 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds.
2.17 Trade and bills payable
Trade and bills payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade and bills payable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.18 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statements of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
– 44 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
2.19 Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognized in the consolidated income statements in the period in which they are incurred.
2.20 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the Relevant Periods comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(b) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Outside basis difference
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Target Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(c) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.21 Employee benefits
(a) Pension obligations
Target Group companies operate various pension schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds. The Target Group has defined contribution plan.
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Target Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Target Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
The Target Group pays contributions to publicly administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Target Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
(b) Employee leaves entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave.
(c) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Target Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Target Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to a termination when the entity has a detailed formal plan to terminate the employment of current employees without possibility of withdrawal. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.

APPENDIX II
2.22 Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions
OSIL operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the Target Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of OSIL. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
-
including any market performance conditions (for example, an entity’s share price);
-
excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and
-
including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save).
Non-market performance and service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
In addition, in some circumstances employees may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognizing the expense during the period between service commencement period and grant date.
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the options are exercised, OSIL issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to equity.
2.23 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when: Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.24 Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Target Group and the Target Company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognized but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognized as a provision.
2.25 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, stated net of discounts returns and value added taxes. The Target Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Target Group’s activities, as described below. The Target Group bases its estimates of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
(a) Sale of goods
Sale of goods is recognized when products have been delivered to its customer; the customer has accepted the products and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured.
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, The Target Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and receivables are recognized using the original effective interest rate.
2.26 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The Target Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Target Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the consolidated income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.

2.27 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the OSIL’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Target Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the OSIL’s shareholders.
3 Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factor
The Target Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group’s financial performance. The Target Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Target Group Treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Target Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedge financial risks in close co-operation with the Target Group’s operating units. The board provides guidance for overall risk management.
(a) Market risk
- (i) Foreign exchange risk
The Target Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to Hong Kong dollar (‘‘HK$’’), Singapore dollar (‘‘S$’’) and Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’). Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
To manage the foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, the Target Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with external financial institutions to partially hedge against such foreign exchange risk. The Target Group also mitigates this risk by maintaining HK$, S$ and RMB bank accounts which are used by the Target Group to pay for the transactions denominated in these currencies.
HK$ is pegged to US$ and thus foreign currency exposure is considered as minimal and is not hedged.
As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, if US$ had strengthened/weaken by 5% against S$ with all variables held constant, the net profit for each year would have changed mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of S$-denominated trade payables, borrowings and cash and cash equivalents.
| Year end: Net profit increase/(decrease) — Strengthened by 5% — Weakened by 5% |
Year ended 31 December 2010 2011 2012 US$’000 US$’000 US$’000 134 110 37 (134) (110) (37) |

|---|---|
- (ii) Cash flow interest rate risk
As the Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets except for certain bank deposits, the Target Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Target Group’s interest rate risk arises from bank borrowings. As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, borrowings were primarily at floating rates.
The Target Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. Based on these scenarios, the Target Group calculates the impact on the consolidated income statements of a defined interest rate shift.
As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been US$320,000, US$219,000 and US$73,000 lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk of the Target Group mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers such as trade receivables and other receivables. The carrying amount of these balances in the consolidated balance sheets represents the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets.
A majority of the Target Group’s bank deposits are placed in those banks and financial institutions which are independently rated with a high credit rating. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these banks and financial institutions as they have no default history in the past.
A majority of the Target Group’s cash at banks are deposited in major financial institutions located in Singapore, Cambodia and the PRC, which are of high credit rating. Management does not expect any losses arising from non-performance by these counterparties.

Note:
- (i) The rating represents long-term credit rating provided by Standard and Poor’s, an internationally recognized credit rating agency. A rating within the ‘‘A’’ category is related to banks with strong capacity to meet financial commitments as defined under the rating regime of Standard and Poor’s.
Debtors of the Target Group may be affected by the unfavorable economic conditions and the lower liquidity situation, which could in turn impact their ability to repay the amounts owed. Deteriorating operating conditions for debtors may also have an impact on management’s cash flow forecasts and assessment of the impairment of receivables. To the extent that information is available, management has properly reflected revised estimate of expected future cash flows in their impairment assessments.
The credit quality of the customers is assessed based on its financial position, past experience and other factors. The Target Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with appropriate credit histories.
As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Target Group had a concentration of credit risk given that the top 5 customers account for 30%, 27% and 44% of the Target Group’s total year end trade receivable balances respectively. However, the Target Group does not believe that the credit risk in relation to these customers is significant because they have no history of default in recent years.
The Target Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. The Target Group’s historical experience in collection of trade and other receivables falls within the recorded allowances and management is of the opinion that provision for uncollectible receivables is not necessary.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Management considers the credit risk on amounts due from related companies and other receivables is minimal after considering the financial conditions of these entities. Management has performed assessment over the recoverability of these balances and does not expect any losses from non-performance by these companies.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of available credit facilities. The directors aim to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping credit lines available.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Target Group’s liquidity reserve which comprises undrawn borrowing facilities (Note 18) and cash and cash equivalents (Note 13) on the basis of expected cash flows. Surplus cash held by grouping entities over and above balances required for working capital management is invested in interest-bearing bank accounts and bank deposits with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.
The following tables show the Target Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and netsettled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity grouping based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Target Group can be required to pay.
Specifically, for bank loans which contain a repayment on demand clause which can be exercised at the bank’s sole discretion, the analysis shows the cash outflow based on the earliest period in which the entity can be required to pay, that is if the lenders were to invoke their unconditional rights to call the loans with immediate effect. The maturity analysis for other bank borrowings is prepared based on the scheduled repayment dates.

3.2 Capital management
The Target Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders, to support the Target Group’s stability and growth; to earn a margin commensurate with the level of business and market risks in the Target Group’s operation and to maintain a net cash position.
The Target Group’s management considers capital comprises issued capital and reserves. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Target Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Target Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt — adjusted capital. Net debt is calculated as total interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity (i.e. share capital, reserves and retained earnings.)

3.3 Fair value estimation
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
-
. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
-
. Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2)
-
. Inputs for the asset and liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3)
The following table presents the Target Group’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
- 4 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
(a) Income taxes
The Target Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Target Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made. Please refer to Note 25 for details.
(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Target Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives, and related depreciation for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. Management will increase the depreciation charges where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives. It will write off or write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic review could result in a change in depreciable lives and therefore depreciation expense in future periods.
(c) Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable such as declines in asset’s market value and significant increase in interest rates that may affect the discount rate used in calculating the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amounts have been determined based on fair value less cost to sell calculations or market valuations. These calculations require the use of judgements and estimates.
(d) Net realizable value of inventories
Net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and variable selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycle. Management reassesses these estimates at the end of reporting periods.

APPENDIX II
(e) Impairment of trade and other receivables
The Target Group’s management determines the provision for impairment of trade and other receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of the receivables. This assessment is based on the credit history of its customers and other debtors and the current market condition, and requires the use of judgements and estimates. Management reassesses the provision at the end of reporting periods.
5 Segment reporting
The Target Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and trading of apparels. Revenue consists of sales revenue of causal, fashion and life-style apparels.
The executive directors have been identified as the chief operating decision maker. The executive directors have determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by them that are used to make strategic decisions.
The Target Group has only one business segment which is the provision of one-stop fully integrated apparel service with global end-to end supply chain management capabilities from design to distribution. The Target Company is domiciled in Singapore.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. There is no asymmetrical allocation to reportable segments.

(iv) Share option plan — OSIL
OSIL has adopted a share option scheme (the ‘‘Scheme’’) which is effective commencing 30 January 2003 pursuant to a written resolution of the then sole shareholder of the Target Company on 30 January 2003.
Under the Scheme, the Target Company may grant options to selected full-time employees and directors of the Target Company and its subsidiaries to subscribe for shares in OSIL.
The aggregate number of shares over which the committee may grant options on any date, when added to the number of shares issuable in respect of all options granted under the Scheme, shall not exceed 15% of the issued shares of the OSIL on the day preceding that date.
The options may be exercised in whole or in part as follows:
-
(a) up to 50% of the share options at any time within the period from 22 January 2010 till 21 January 2011;
-
(b) up to 80% of the share options at any time within the period from 22 January 2011 till 21 January 2012: and
-
(c) up to 100% of the share options at any time within the period from 22 January 2012 till 21 January 2016.
All unexercised options will expire after 21 January 2016.
The share options outstanding at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 have remaining contractual life of 6 years, 5 years and 4 years, respectively.
The fair value of the share options granted on 22 January 2009 was S$0.03.

Share price (S$) 0.08 Weighted average exercise price (S$) 0.08 Expected life of share options (years) 7 Expected volatility (%) 30 Dividend yield (%) 0
The expected life of share options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.
Movement in the number of share options granted by OSIL to the employees of the Target Group, the outstanding options and exercise price is as follows:

The effective tax rate is lower than Singapore profits tax rate of 17% since certain subsidiaries of the Target Group enjoyed preferential income tax rates throughout the Relevant Periods as foreign investment enterprises in the PRC and Cambodia, and have obtained approval from the relevant tax authorities for their entitlement to exemption from income tax. The Target Company has been awarded the ‘‘Global Trader Programme’’ status whereby its profits derived from qualifying trading transactions of approved products are taxed at a concessionary rate of 10% for a period of 5 years with effect from 1 January 2009, subject to compliance with certain terms and conditions.
Bright Sky Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of the Target Company was initially granted a three-year tax exemption with effect from 22 February 2006 to 22 February 2009 as approved by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MoEF) in Cambodia. Bright Sky Pte. Ltd. also received an extension of tax holiday period of 2 years to 1 January 2011.
The changes in the weighted average applicable tax rate were mainly due to the changes in the proportion of the taxable profit/(loss) of the respective companies attributable to the Target Group which were subject to different applicable tax rates.

Approximately US$2,051,000 of the tax losses carried forward by Ocean Sky Apparel (Guangzhou) Pte. Ltd. has also been transferred out.
In December 2012, Ocean Sky International Limited, immediate holding company, received notices of additional assessments from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (the ‘‘IRAS’’) for the years of assessments 2006 and 2008 demanding for protective assessment of tax totalling S$1,848,259 in respect of certain income, which the directors have regarded as subject to concessionary Singapore corporate income tax instead of Standard corporate income tax. The directors have thoroughly revisited the situations and have concluded that this related company has strong grounds to vigorously defend that the relevant profits should be subject to Singapore concessionary corporate income tax. In these circumstances, the directors have lodged objections to these additional assessments and consider that sufficient tax provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
Ocean Sky International Limited, immediate holding company, has provided an indemnity to the Target Group that any claims on tax charges against the Target Group in relation to periods prior to the completion of the Reorganisation in the key countries where the Target Group is operating.

Notes:
-
1 The balances were extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2012 as set out in the Company’s published annual report for the year ended 31 December 2012.
-
2 The balances were extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Target Company as at 31 December 2012 as set out in Appendix II to this circular.
-
3 As at 31 December 2012, the Target Group recorded an amount due to its immediate holding company of US$6,947,000. According to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Seller has provided a warranty to the Purchaser that no material indebtedness in excess of US$1,000,000 will be outstanding between any Target Group Company and any member of the Retained Group as at the Completion Date and therefore the Target Group will settle the amount due to its immediate holding company of US$5,947,000 by cash upon the Completion.
-
4 Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the consideration for the Acquisition is US$55,000,000. Upon the release of the final completion accounts, the consideration payable shall be adjusted in any one or more of the following circumstances, be:
-
(i) reduced by US$1.00 for every US$1.00 that the Pro Forma FY2012 Net Profit is less than US$10,000,000;
-
(ii) reduced by US$1.00 for every US$1.00 that the Completion NTA is less than US$40,000,000; and
-
(iii) reduced by US$1.00 for every US$1.00 that the Net Debt exceeds US$2,400,000, provided that under paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, the final amount payable above shall be determined after allowing any surplus to the Completion NTA or any shortfall to the Net Debt to be set off against any surplus to the Net Debt or any shortfall to the Completion NTA (as the case may be), subject to a maximum set off of US$2,000,000 each.
As at 31 December 2012, the NTA of the Target Group amounted to US$37,205,000. After taking into account the excluded assets/liabilities in Note 7 below, the adjusted NTA will be US$35,141,000, representing US$37,205,000 minus US$2,064,000. Therefore, there was a shortfall of US$4,859,000 to the minimum NTA of US$40,000,000. Since the Target Group has no Net Debt as at 31 December 2012, it allows a maximum set off of US$2,000,000 based on paragraph (iii) above. The consideration will be adjusted from US$55,000,000 to US$52,141,000. Since the Completion NTA and the Net Debt as at the Completion Date may be materially different from their respective values used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the actual amount of the adjustment upon completion may be materially different from the estimated amount shown in this Appendix.
