FRS 21: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates FRS 102: Share-based payment The impact of the changes in accounting policies is as follows: 1. FRS 21 The adoption of FRS 21 has impact on the following:- a) Net Profit for the Group for full year ended 31 December 2004 was increased by

S$778,000. b) There was no impact on the revenue reserve of the Group as at 1 January 2004 as the

Management is of the opinion that it is impractical to determine the effects of the change in accounting policy prior to 1 January 2004. Hence, the change in accounting policy is applied as at 1 January 2004.

There is no impact at the Company level as the changes affected two subsidiary companies of the Group. 2. FRS 102 By adopting FRS 102, the Group and Company adjusted downwards the opening revenue reserve as at 1 January 2004 by S$14,000. Net Profit for the Group and the Company for full year ended 31 December 2004 was reduced by S$332,000 and S$44,000 respectively. 3. Effects of FRS 21 and FRS102 on Earnings Per Share(EPS) The effect of FRS 21 and FRS 102 on the Group’s basic and diluted EPS for full year ended 31 December 2004 is as follows: Basic EPS Increase of 0.13 cents Diluted EPS Increase of 0.16 cents

5. If there are any changes in the accounting policies and methods of computation,

including any required by an accounting standard, what has changed, as well as the reasons for, and the effect of, the change. Please refer to paragraph 4.

Revenue

For the year ended 31 December 2005, Group Revenue rose by 14.7% to S$184.0 million due to a strong increase in sales, particularly beverage products. This represents the sixth consecutive year of double digit revenue growth achieved by the Group. The majority of the Group’s revenue (60.3%) came from Russia. Eastern Europe and Central Asia is the second largest market (33.3%), comprising countries such as Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Poland. The Group also generated sales from other markets (6.4%) including countries from the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

Sales to Russia increased by 12.9% to S$111.0 million due to higher demand for beverage products such as the Group’s flagship brand MacCoffee. The increase in revenue is a result of the expansion of the distribution network together with the ongoing brand building and marketing campaigns undertaken by the Group in Russia, where the MacCoffee brand is among the best selling products in its class. Sales in Eastern Europe and Central Asia increased by 26.8% to S$61.3 million. The performance in Ukraine improved due to new marketing campaigns, an increase in activities at the points of sale, the completion of the restructuring of the Ukraine sales office, and improved political stability in the region. An increase in marketing activities and expansion of distribution network resulted in improved sales in Kazakhstan and other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. Revenue from other countries fell from S$13.8 million to S$11.7 million mainly due to lower sales from the US market.

The Group’s core product segment remains beverages which contributed 92.6% of the Group’s total revenue. Beverage sales were strong across all key markets, with sales increasing by 18.7% to S$170.5 million. Revenue from non-beverage products fell from S$16.7 million to S$13.5 million due to lower sales of frozen convenience food. Profitability Net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 31.3% from S$15.7 million in FY2004 to $20.6 million in FY2005 despite higher import costs into Russia which was the subject of the earnings alert in August 2005. Profit was boosted by the one-off sale of a business by an associated company - Ernsts Food Ingredients Sdn Bhd (Ernsts) which is 35% owned by the Group. In the fourth quarter of 2005, Ernsts completed the sale of its non-dairy creamer business and assets resulting in S$3.4 million share of profits for the Group. Raw materials and consumables used increased by 19.5% to S$95.1 million due to increases in the cost of soluble coffee, non-dairy creamer, sugar and packaging materials. Other operating expenses rose by 21.1% to S$48.9 million primarily due to the increase in import costs from the changes in customs regulations in Russia. Advertising and promotion

costs were well controlled, with marginal increase in expenditure as compared to FY2004. Income tax decreased from S$3.7 million in FY2004 to S$2.1 million in FY2005 as a result of tax savings enjoyed by overseas subsidiary companies. The Group enjoyed a foreign exchange gain of S$0.4 million. Balance Sheet & Cash Flow Fixed assets increased from S$13.4 million in 2004 to S$15.8 million in FY2005. This was due to the setting up of the Vietnam plant and purchase of machinery for the Russian plant. Investments in associated companies increased from S$1.3 million in FY2004 to S$4.7 million in FY2005 due to sale of business and assets by Ernsts. Intangible Assets of S$11.1 million represents goodwill arising from the completion of the acquisition of the remaining minority interests in three subsidiary companies – Future Enterprises (Russia) Pte Ltd, FER (HK) Limited and FES Industries Pte Ltd. Trade receivables increased from S$28.0 million in FY2004 to S$35.4 million in FY2005. The majority of this was due to increase in sales. Inventories rose from S$31.9 million in 2004 to S$37.1 million in FY2005 due to increased sales and stock up of raw materials in preparation for the commencement of production of the Russian plant. The Group’s Net Cash position increased by 9.7% to S$17.2 million.

9. Where a forecast, or a prospect statement, has been previously disclosed to shareholders, any variance between it and the actual results.

In August 2005, the Directors made an earnings alert announcement that the changes in the custom regulation for importing goods into Russia would result in higher import costs. This increase in costs was expected to adversely affect the Group’s performance in the second half of the year. The Group has subsequently incurred significant additional import costs for sales into Russia. Making reference to paragraph 15 – “A Breakdown of Sales”, the Group’s operating profit after tax before deducting minority interests reported for the second half of the financial year 2005 would have been S$9.2 million instead of S$12.6 million if not for the gain from the one-off sale of a business by an associated company. This is lower than the profit achieved in the second half of 2004, despite an increase in sales over the corresponding period.

10. A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant trends and competitive

conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months. To overcome the increase in import costs into Russia, the Group has established a new production facility in the Moscow region, Russia. The plant has commenced its first phase of operations and is expected to gear up to operational efficiency by the second half of 2006.

The Group expects market conditions to remain challenging in 2006. Increases in the costs of raw materials are expected to continue, and may impact adversely on the Group’s margins. The Group also faces possible challenges from government policy change and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Freight cost may also increase if the price of oil rises again.

The Group will continue with its successful brand building and marketing efforts in all its key markets. These activities - undertaken by experienced professionals with local market knowledge - continue to secure the popularity of the Group’s brands. The Group will focus its efforts on growing market share by refining the branding of its existing products, investing in brand building activities and expanding the distribution network.
