02 THE GREEN COMBINATION

My Dear ShareholdersOur position as a Total Environmental Management Solutions and Services provider for the Global Electronics Electrical and Equipment Industries has been strengthened with our complete acquisition of Cimelia Resource Recovery Pte Ltd (“Cimelia”) and the commencement of commercial operations of our copper plant, further consolidating our Group’s operations and extending our range of services. Withour reputationestablishedand the relationshipwith our customers secure, we have also taken the opportunity to expand into the global arena with some joint ventures (“JV”). Our eyes are constantly on the look out for new technologies and other capabilities to integrate into our production capacity, with the aim of increasing our value add to our customers and drive the business further forward.

Figures for the year continue to reflect Enviro-Hub’s strong position in the

e-waste management business. The Group’s revenue rose S$67.8 million or an impressive 73.6% from S$92.1 million in FY2006

to reach S$159.9 million in FY2007. This milestone eventof breaking through the S$100 million level was

mainly contributed by our trading of e-waste and metals and copper refining segments, which respectively contributed 50.4% and 18.4% of total revenue in FY2007.It has been one of the best years for our trading of e-waste and metals with revenue jumping by 39.7% to reach S$80.6 million for the year.

In line with our record sales performance, gross profit surged by 99.4% from S$15.9million in FY2006 toS$31.8 million in FY2007. Other income benefitedfrom gains arising from the sale of assets, hedging on copper and products produced by our new refinery and technical fee income earned to increase by S$17.2 million. Overall, we managed to achieve a net profit after tax of S$20.3 million.

Our copper melting and refinery plant is also Singapore’s first to recover and extract copper from electronic wastes. Our copper plant commenced commercial operations in the second quarter of 2007. Copper cathodes produced at our copper plant have a purity of 99.95% (minimum) conforming to London Metal Exchange’s specifications Grade A. The sheer quality of the copper cathodes at our facility has attracted a variety of international buyers who are keen to explore alternate supply following the global raw material crunch. This had a positive impact on our revenue, adding S$29.4 million in its first year of operations.

Our plans to be a global leader in the industry came into further fruition with a number of key acquisitions wemadeduringtheyear.Weacquiredtheremaining36.3% shareholdings of Cimelia in April 2007 which enabled us to consolidate and integrate all our e-waste recycling business. The establishment of new JV and added capabilities and resources resultant from our acquisitions places the Group in an ideal position to capitalize on the tremendous potential of e-waste management.

In the latter half of 2007, we announced a JV between our wholly owned subsidiary, Cimelia, and the Ramky Group, a leading waste management and services provider in India. Since then we have attained the necessary National Operating License from the Indian Government and are poised to begin the construction

Chairman’s Statement

03ANNuAL REPORT 2007

The Group also proudly announced the successful completion of its Plastic-to-Fuel Pilot Plant (“PTF”), clearing the way for us to build the world’s first commercially viable facility that converts waste mixed plastics into industrial fuels.

and operation of a facility for e-waste management, recycling and Platinum Group Metals (“PGM”) recovery and refining in Hyderabad, India. In addition to the facility, the JV will set up 5 collection centers in major Indian cities. This JV will help Enviro-hub gain a foothold in the burgeoning Indian e-waste management industry and cement our presence in India.

The Group also proudly announced the successful completion of its Plastic-to-Fuel Pilot Plant (“PTF”), clearing the way for us to build the world’s first commercially viable facility that converts waste mixed plastics into industrial fuels. Construction is expected to be completed by 2Q 2008 with an initial investment cost of S$15.0 million. This will be the world’s first commercial plastic to fuel plant and the Group has exclusive rights to market and sell such plants worldwide. In addition, the method is also emissions-free and will be qualified to earn carbon credits. According to figures released by the uS Environment Protection Agency, plastic waste in the united States amounted to 30 million tones with only 3.9 million tones of this being recycled. Our method will provide an efficient and profitable means of solving the disposal of waste plastics worldwide.

We are also optimistic about the growth prospects of our industry, due to theshortening of product life cycles from technological advancements and the Group’s geographical proximity to production giants like China and India. Rapid technological advances and an unorganized recycling sector have resulted in large stockpiles of unwantedolderproductsaccumulatinginmanycountries.Wearepositionedtotapinto the abundant source of e-waste for recycling. Add to this the fact that 80 percent of the world’s 500 million tones of e-waste is being exported to Asian countries and it is clear to see why we are poised for better growth next year.

I would like to conclude by thanking our shareholders, customers and business partners for your continual support. I would also like to mention especially the management and staff for their tremendous effort and dedicated contribution towards the success of our Group.

I look forward to continue bringing greater shareholder value to you in the years ahead.

06 THE GREEN COMBINATION

Financial Review

Total Group revenue surged pass the S$100 million mark growing fromS$92.1millioninFY2006toS$159.9millioninFY2007.Thiswas attributed mainly to stellar revenue contributions from the trading of e-waste/ metals and the commencement of our copper refining divisions. In line with this, the Group’s gross profit posted an impressive increase of 99.4% to reach S$31.8 million for the year.

Segmental Review

A. Provision of Total Environmental Solutions and Services to the Global Electronics, Electrical and Equipment Industries

1. E-waste recycling and PGM refining Division This division focused on providing e-waste management

solution services including the recycling, extraction and refining of Platinum Group Metals (PGM) to its customers. Revenue contributed by the Division amounted to S$19.5 million in FY 2007 or a gain of 32.3% over the previousyear.

2. Trading of E-waste and Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metals Division

under this business segment, we are involved in the trading of e-wastes and the recovery and processing of a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals. The businesses in this segment contributed the most to the Group’s revenue, bringing in S$80.6 million or 50.4% of the Group’s total revenue.

3. Copper Melting and Refining Division The Group currently runs one of the largest copper

melting and refining plants in the Asia Pacific region for the production of refined copper recovered from e-waste. Since beginning operations in March 2007 the division has already contributed S$29.4 million, making it the second highest revenue generator for the Group.

4. Recycling & Manufacturing of IC Trays Division This division has emerged as one of the leading recycling

company in Singapore for the manufacturing of IC trays from recycled engineering plastics. The division contributed S$4millionof2.5%ofGroup’srevenueinFY2007.

The year was spent to further the Group as a global provider of Total Environmental Management Solutions and Services, offering an expanding range of quality, secure and cost effective services to the Global Electronics, Electrical and Equipment Industries.

5. Plastic-to-Fuel Division Revenue for this division was generated from the sale of

equipment for the conversion of waste plastics to fuel, earningS$1.6millioninFY2007.

B. The Group’s Piling, Rental & Servicing of Machinery, Sale of Machinery & Spares and the Sale of property Development Divisions

The wealth of construction contracts available from the construction boom had a significant positive impact on the revenue earned from the piling division, increasing by 53.4% inFY2007.ThedivisioncontributedS$20.4millionor12.7%of the Group’s revenue.

Revenue from rental & servicing of machinery and sale of machinery & spares’ division posted an increase of 16.0% to S$3.3millioninFY2007.

Revenue earned from the property development division remainedataconstantofS$1.2millionforFY2006andFY2007.

Outlook

Initial findings from united Nations estimate that approximately 20 to 50 million tonnes of e-waste are generated worldwide

each year. Greenpeace expects this volume to triple by 2010. The seriousness of the issue is exemplified when as much as 80% of e-waste is destined for Asian countries with most ending up at illegal recyclers in hard to reach rural areas. In order to turn a quick buck, the methods of extracting materials remain primitive and workers are subject to inhumane conditions and exposed to greater health risk. Greater initiatives by manufacturers and Governments to reduce their reliance on such businesses will mean that Enviro-Hub is in the right position to capitalize on such business opportunities as a responsible corporate citizen and established recycler.

The impending completion of Enviro-Hub’s commercially viable Plastic-to-Fuel Plant in second quarter of 2008 should add a whole new dimension to the Group’s offering to our customers, adding a host of value added services. This has come at a time of skyrocketing global energy prices and global demand for new and renewable energy sources. This has fueled the Group’s growing optimism of the demand for our products.

Going forward, Enviro-Hub will not only push towards our vision of establishing a global brand within the Global Electronics, Electrical & Equipment Industries providing Total Environmental Management Solutions. We will also push our solutions forwaste plastics worldwide and continue to build Enviro-Hub into a household brand name.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of enviro-Hub Holdings ltd. (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2007, the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes , as set out on pages 24 to 69.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies act, Chapter 50 (the act) and Singapore Financial reporting Standards. this responsibility includes:

(a) devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets;

(b) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and

(c) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ responsibility

our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on auditing. those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

an audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. the procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. an audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

Opinion

In our opinion:

(a) the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the act and Singapore Financial reporting Standards to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2007 and the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date; and

1 DOMICIlE AND ACTIvITIES

enviro-Hub Holdings ltd. (the Company) is incorporated in the republic of Singapore and has its registered office at 20 Gul Way, Singapore 629196.

the principal activity of the Company is that of an investment holding company. the principal activities of the Group consist of sale, rental and servicing of engineering hardware, construction machinery and equipment, investment holding, trading of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, melting and refining of copper, recycling and manufacturing of integrated circuit (IC) trays, trading of electronic waste (e-waste), e-waste recycling and platinum Group Metals (pGM) refining, plastic to fuel refining and that of a contractor in all kinds of contract works, in particular, geotechnic and piling works.

the consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) and the Group’s interests in associates and a joint venture.

2 SUMMARy Of SIGNIfICANT ACCOUNTING POlICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial reporting Standards (FrS).

the financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilites which are measured at fair value as stated in the respective accounting policies detailed below. non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

the financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars which is the Company’s functional currency.

the preparation of financial statements in conformity with FrS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. actual results may differ from these estimates.

estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in note 30.

the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Group to all periods presented in these financial statements.

2.2 Consolidation

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. the cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

2.2 Consolidation (cont’d)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights presently exercisable are taken into account. the financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Associates and joint ventures

associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over their financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income, expenses and equity movements of associates and joint ventures, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate or a joint venture, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Accounting for subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures by the Company

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

the Group has elected to adopt purchasing accounting in relation to common control transactions.

2.3 Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions

transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date on which the fair value was determined.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the income statement, except for differences arising on the retranslation of monetary items that in substance form part of the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation (see below) and available-for-sale equity instruments.

2 SUMMARy Of SIGNIfICANT ACCOUNTING POlICIES (CONT’D)

2.3 Foreign currencies (cont’d)

Foreign operations

the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Singapore dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. the income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Singapore dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation on or after 1 January 2006 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. For acquisitions prior to 1 January 2006, the exchange rates at the date of acquisition were used.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the foreign currency translation reserve is transferred to the income statement.

Net investment in a foreign operation

exchange differences arising from monetary items that in substance form part of the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the Company’s income statement. Such exchange differences are reclassified to equity in the consolidated financial statements. When the foreign operation is disposed of, the cumulative amount in equity is transferred to the income statement as an adjustment to the profit or loss arising on disposal.

2.4 Property, plant and equipment

property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. the cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the cost of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

the cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. the costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation on other property, plant and equipment is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (or lease term, if shorter) of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment.

the estimated useful lives are as follows:

leasehold properties over the remaining lease term of 20 yearsplant and machinery 3 to 20 yearsMotor vehicles 5 to 10 yearsFurniture and fixtures 3 to 10 yearsoffice equipment 3 to 10 yearsrenovations 5 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date.

2.5 Goodwill

Goodwill and negative goodwill arise on the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented in intangible assets. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of associates is presented together with investments in associates.

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment as described in note 2.8. negative goodwill is recognised immediately in the income statement.

the excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is credited to the income statement in the period of the acquisition.

Acquisition of minority interest

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a minority interest in a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of the additional investment over the carrying amount of net assets acquired at the date of exchange.

2.6 Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments

non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, financial liabilities, and trade and other payables.

non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

a financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset. regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement.

Available-for-sale financial assets

the Group’s investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognised directly in equity. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to the income statement.

2 SUMMARy Of SIGNIfICANT ACCOUNTING POlICIES (CONT’D)

2.6 Financial instruments (cont’d)

Other

other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Derivative financial instruments

the Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to fluctuations to the commodity prices. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in the income statement when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in the income statement as part of other income.

Economic hedges

Hedge accounting is not applied to derivative instruments that economically hedge monetary assets and liabilities.

Impairment of financial assets

a financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. a financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

an impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. an impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair value.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. the remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

all impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. any cumulative loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to the income statement.

an impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in the income statement.

Impairment losses once recognised in the income statement in respect of available-for-sale equity securities are not reversed through the income statement. any subsequent increase in fair value of such assets is recognised directly in equity.

Intra-group financial guarantees

Financial guarantees are financial instruments issued by the Group that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for the loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to meet payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantees are recognised initially at fair value and are classified as financial liabilities. Subsequent to initial measurement, the financial guarantees are stated at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation and the amount that would be recognised if they were accounted for as contingent liabilities. When financial guarantees are terminated before their original expiry date, the carrying amount of the financial guarantees is transferred to the income statement.

2.6 Financial instruments (cont’d)

Share capital

ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

2.7 Leases

When entities within the Group are lessees of a finance lease

leased assets in which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. upon initial recognition, property, plant and equipment acquired through finance leases are capitalised at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. lease payments are apportioned between finance expense and reduction of the lease liability. the finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.

at inception, an arrangement that contains a lease is accounted for as such based on the terms and conditions even though the arrangement is not in the legal form of a lease.

When entities within the Group are lessees of an operating lease

Where the Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to the income statement in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

2.8 Impairment – non-financial assets

the carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date, and as and when indicators of impairment are identified.

an impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. a cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation, credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 or cash-generating unit.

an impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

2.9 Inventories

Trading inventories, raw materials and consumables

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured and processed inventories, and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Construction work-in-progress

Construction work-in-progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognised to date less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group’s contract activities based on normal operating capacity.

Construction work-in-progress is presented as part of inventories in the balance sheet. If payments received from customers exceed the income recognised, the difference is presented as deferred income in the balance sheet.

Completed properties held for resale

Completed properties are those properties which are held with the intention of sale in the ordinary course of business and are classified as current assets.

Completed properties held for resale are stated at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less costs to be incurred in selling the property.

2.10 Assets classified as held for sale

non-current assets that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. thereafter, generally the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in the income statement. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

2.11 Employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

a provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

2.12 Revenue recognition

Goods sold

revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

Completed properties held for resale

profit from the sale of completed properties is recognised when the sale and purchase agreement is finalised and the beneficial legal interest is transferred to the purchaser.

Construction contracts

as soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work and claims to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably.

the stage of completion is assessed by reference to the value of work done certified by customers. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. an expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Rental income

rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Services rendered

revenue from the provision of services is recognised when the services are rendered.

Dividends

Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

2.13 Finance expenses

Borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale.

2.14 Income tax expense

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

2.14 Income tax expense (cont’d)

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

a deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Impairment loss and subsequent reversal

the Group assessed the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment against their recoverable amounts at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Based on this annual impairment assessment, the carrying amount of certain plant and machinery was determined to be $163,111 lower than its recoverable amount, and an impairment loss was recognised in 2004. In 2007, the Group reassessed the recoverable amount of its plant and machinery based on a valuation report obtained from an independent professional valuer and $163,111 of the impairment loss recognised in prior years was reversed. the recoverable amount was determined on the estimated selling price on an open market value basis. the increase in the recoverable amounts of these plant and machinery was primarily attributed to the recovery of the Singapore construction sector in the current year. the impairment losses and subsequent reversal were recognised as part of other expenses in the income statement.

Impairment tests for cash-generating units containing goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s operating divisions which represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

the aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each unit are as follows:

the recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units were based on their values in use.

Values in use were determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of the units and were based on the following key assumptions:

the amount due from a subsidiary amounting to $nil (2006: $7,900,000) formed part of the Company’s net investments in the subsidiary as at 31 December 2007 and 2006. this amount is unsecured and interest-free, and settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. as this balance is, in substance, part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary, it is stated at cost less impairment loss. During the year, the Company has waived the repayment of $7,450,000 due from the subsidiary and the waiver and corresponding impairment was recognised as part of its investment in the subsidiary. the balance of $450,000 was fully repaid during the year.

In 2007, the Company recognised net impairment losses on its investments in subsidiaries of $2,649,000 (2006: net impairment losses of $77,000). Impairment losses amounting to $7,450,000 pertains to the waiver of amount due from subsidiary as described above. this was partially offset by a reversal of impairment losses amounting to $4,801,000 during the year, as a result of the improvement in the financial positions/performances of certain subsidiaries. the reversal of impairment losses were recognised as part of other expenses in the Company’s income statement.

Current trade receivables of the Group include retention sums of $1,135,696 (2006: $464,307).

other deposits of the Group are stated after an impairment loss of $nil (2006: $76,776). the impairment loss was recognised as part of other expenses in the income statement.

Share issue expenses represent expenditure incurred in connection with the proposed public offering and listing of the shares of a subsidiary on the Singapore exchange Securities trading limited (SGX). In 2006, the Group announced a restructuring exercise under which the subsidiary sought to list on the SGX by way of an introduction (the Introduction). In 2007, the Group aborted the restructuring exercise. as a result, the share issue expenses incurred by the subsidiary were written off to the Group’s income statement in the current year.

outstanding trade balances with subsidiaries and associate are unsecured. there is no impairment loss arising from the outstanding trade balances.

the non-trade amounts due from subsidiaries are unsecured, interest-free and are repayable on demand.

the loan to a director is unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. the loan was granted to an individual, who was subsequently appointed as director of one of the subsidiaries in 2007. the purpose of the loan is to provide the director with funds to meet expenditure incurred or to be incurred by him for the purposes of the Group.

the Group’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through its trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk relating to trade receivables is limited due to the Group’s many varied customers. the Group’s historical experience in the collection of accounts receivable falls within the recorded impairment losses. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in the Group’s trade receivables.

Based on historical default rates, the Group believes that no additonal impairment allowance is necessary in respect of trade receivables not past due nor impaired. these receivables are mainly arising from customers that have a good record with the Group.

25 fINANCIAl RISk MANAGEMENT

Overview

the Group has a system of controls in place to create an acceptable balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. the management continually monitors the Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved.

the audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. the audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit Committee.

Credit risk

the Group has a credit policy in place which establishes credit limits for customers and monitors their balances on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. the credit quality of customers is assessed after taking into account its financial position and the Group’s past experience with the customers.

the Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. the main component of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures.

the allowance account in respect of trade and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. at that point, the financial asset is considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.

Cash and fixed deposits are placed with banks and financial institutions which are regulated. the Group invests its surplus cash in only those financial instruments of high credit rating and with pre-approved counterparties of high credit quality.

Liquidity risk

the Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

In addition, the Group maintains the following lines of credit:

• $3,550,000overdraftfacilitythatisunsecured.InterestwouldbepayableattherateofCOFplus25basispoints(bp).

• $2,000,000creditfacilitythatcanbedrawndowntomeetshort-termfinancingneeds.Thefacilityhasa120to180-daymaturitythat renews automatically at the option of the Group. Interest would be payable at a rate of CoF plus 150 to 175 bp.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. the objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.

the Group’s exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices arises from its trading in copper and precious metals inventories. the Group enters into forward copper and pGM contracts, as and when management deems fit, in order to hedge against the exposure.

64 THE GREEN COMBINATION

notes to the financial statementsYear ended 31 December 2007

25 fINANCIAl RISk MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

Interest rate risk

the Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to its interest-earning financial assets and interest-bearing financial liabilities. Interest rate risk is managed by the Group on an on-going basis with the primary objective of limiting the extent to which net interest expense could be affected by an adverse movement in interest rates. the Group does not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge against its interest rate risk.

Foreign currency risk

the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, expenses and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. the currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily united States dollars and euro.

the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is closely monitored by management on an ongoing basis.

Sensitivity analysis

a 10% strengthening of Singapore dollar against all other currencies, apart from the functional currency of the Company, at the reporting date would increase/(decrease) profit before tax by the amounts shown below. this analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

a 10% weakening of Singapore dollar against the above currencies would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Estimation of fair values

the following summarises the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments of the Group and Company.

Investments in equity securities

the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted bid prices at reporting date.

Derivatives

the fair value of forward commodity contracts are based on their quoted market prices.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements.

Intra-group financial guarantees

the value of financial guarantees provided by the Company to its subsidiaries is determined by reference to the difference in the interest rates, by comparing the actual rates charged by the bank with these guarantees made available, with the estimated rates that the banks would have charged had these guarantees not been available. Management of the Group has determined the differentials and estimated the fair values of the intra-group financial guarantees and noted that they were not material at year-end.

Other financial assets and liabilities

the notional amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year (including trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other payables) are assumed to approximate their fair values because of the short period to maturity. all other financial assets and liabilities are discounted to determine their fair values.

(ii) In 2007, e-Hub Metals pte ltd (“eHM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, took legal action against a metal scraps supplier for the refund of two deposits amounted to $250,000 and the refund of an overpayment of uS$28,590 (equivalent to S$41,000). these deposits were initially placed for two purchasing contracts with the latter to purchase scrap materials. these contracts have since expired in September 2006 and March 2007 respectively but the supplier did not refund the deposits to eHM. the supplier counterclaimed against eHM for alleged repudiation of the purchase contracts and sought to seek damages of uS$351,000 (equivalent to S$506,000) from eHM. In the event that the supplier succeeds in its counterclaim, eHM’s potential exposure is estimated to S$192,000. Based on legal advise, the directors do not expect the outcome of the action to have a material effect on the Group’s financial position and no provision has been made in the financial statements at this stage in respect of the counterclaim.

30 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND jUDGEMENT

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.

Management discussed with the audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of the Group and Company’s critical accounting polices and estimates, and the application of these policies and estimates.

the Group believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Depreciation of and impairment loss on property, plant and equipment

property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, after taking into account the estimated residual value. the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. the useful lives are based on the Group’s historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. Depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

69annual report 2007

notes to the financial statementsYear ended 31 December 2007

30 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND jUDGEMENT (CONT’D)

Depreciation of and impairment loss on property, plant and equipment (cont’d)

Impairment losses would be made for property, plant and equipment whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. the required level of impairment losses to be made is estimated by reference to price quotations from independent third parties.

Impairment loss on trade receivables

the Group evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired, and determine the amount of impairment loss as a result of the inability of the debtors to make required payments. the Group bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance, credit-worthiness of the debtors and historical write-off experience. If the financial conditions of the debtors were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.

Allowance for inventory obsolescence

Where necessary, allowance for inventory obsolescence would be set up for estimated losses which may result from obsolete inventories held. the Group estimates the level of allowance based on the prevailing market conditions and historical provisioning experience. the required level of allowance could change significantly as a result of changes in market conditions.

Impairment of goodwill

note 4 contains information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to goodwill impairment.

31 NEw ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT yET ADOPTED

the Group has not applied the following accounting standards (including its consequential amendments) and interpretations that have been issued as of the balance sheet date but are not yet effective:

• FRS23 Borrowing Costs• FRS108 Operating Segments• INTFRS111 FRS 102 Group and Treasury Share Transactions• INTFRS112 Service Concession Arrangements

FrS 23 will become effective for financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2009. FrS 23 removes the option to expense borrowing costs and requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. the Group’s current policy is consistent with the FrS 23 requirement to capitalise borrowing costs.

FrS 108 will become effective for financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2009. FrS 108, which replaces FrS 14 Segment Reporting, requires identification and reporting of operating segments based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. Currently, the Group presents segment information in respect of its business and geographical segments (see note 23). under FrS 108, the Group will present segment information in respect of its operating segments.

other than the change in disclosures relating to FrS 108, the initial application of these standards (and its consequential amendments) and interpretations is not expected to have any material impact on the Group’s financial statements. the Group has not considered the impact of accounting standards issued after the balance sheet date.

listing Manual Requirements

Chapter 9 of the listing manual of the SGX-St (“Listing Manual”) applies to transactions which an entity at risk (defined below) proposes to enter into with an interested person (defined below) of the listed company.

under Chapter 9 of the listing Manual:

(i) an “entity at risk” means:

1) the listed company;

2) a subsidiary of the listed company that is not listed on the SGX-St or an approved exchange; or

3) an associated Company of the listed company that is not listed on the SGX-St or an approved exchange, provided that the listed company and/or its Subsidiaries (the “listed group”), or the listed group and its interested person(s), has control over the associated Company;

(ii) an “interested person” means a director, chief executive officer or controlling shareholder of the listed company or an associate of such director, chief executive officer or controlling shareholder;

enVIro-HuB HolDInGS ltD(Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore)

Company Reg. No. 199802709E

76 THE GREEN COMBINATION

(iii) an “associate” in relation to an interested person who is a director, chief executive officer or controlling shareholder includes an immediate family member (that is, the spouse, child, adopted-child, step-child, sibling or parent) of such director, chief executive officer or controlling shareholder, the trustees of any trust of which the director/his immediate family, the chief executive officer/his immediate family or controlling shareholder/his immediate family is a beneficiary or, in the case of a discretionary trust, is a discretionary object, and any company in which the director/his immediate family, the chief executive officer/his immediate family or controlling shareholder/his immediate family has or have an aggregate interest (directly or indirectly) of 30% or more, and, where a controlling shareholder is a corporation, its subsidiary or holding company or fellow subsidiary or a company in which it and/or they have (directly or indirectly) an interest of 30% or more;

(iv) an “approved exchange” means a stock exchange that has rules which safeguard the interests of shareholders against interested person transactions according to similar principles to Chapter 9 of the listing Manual; and

(v) an “interested person transaction” means a transaction between an entity at risk and an interested person.

Save for the transactions which are excluded under Chapter 9 of the listing Manual, the listed company is required to make an immediate announcement, and/or seek shareholders approval for an interested person transaction if the value of that transaction alone or on aggregation with other transactions conducted with the same interested person during the financial year reaches, or exceeds, certain materiality thresholds. In particular, an immediate announcement is required where:

(a) the value of a proposed transaction is equal to or exceeds 3% of the group’s latest audited consolidated nta; or

(b) the aggregate value of all transactions entered into with the same interested person during the same financial year, is equal to or more than 3% of the group’s latest audited consolidated nta. an announcement will have to be made immediately of the latest transaction and all future transactions entered into with that same interested person during the financial year.

Shareholder approval is required where:

(a) the value of the proposed transaction is equal to or exceeds 5% of the group’s latest audited nta; or

(b) the aggregate value of all transactions entered into with the same interested person during the same financial year is equal to or exceeds 5% of the group’s latest audited nta. However, a transaction which has been approved by shareholders, or is the subject of aggregation with another transaction that has been approved by shareholders, need not be included in any subsequent aggregation.

the above does not apply to any transaction below S$100,000.

For illustration purposes, 5% of the latest audited nta of the Group would be approximately S$ 4.7 million. this is computed based on the latest audited nta of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2007 of approximately S$ 93.6 million.

rule 920 of Chapter 9 allows for a listed company to seek a general mandate, the Ipt Mandate, from its shareholders for recurrent transactions of a revenue or trading nature, or those necessary for its day-to-day operations such as the purchase and sale of supplies and materials (but not in respect of the purchase or sale of assets, undertakings or businesses) that may be carried out with the listed company’s Interested persons. Such a general mandate must be disclosed in the annual report and is subject to annual renewal provided that the audit Committee confirms that the methods or procedures for determining the prices for the Ipts have not been changed since last shareholder approval and are sufficient to ensure that the Ipts will be carried out on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the issuer and its minority shareholders.

77annual report 2007

Existing IPT Mandate

the Ipt Mandate obtained pursuant to Chapter 9 of the listing Manual was last renewed at the Company’s aGM held on 27 april 2007, such renewal being in effect until the date of the forthcoming annual General Meeting, the 2008 aGM. the Ipt Mandate enables the Company, its Subsidiaries and associated Companies which are considered to be “entities at risk” within the meaning of rule 904 of the listing Manual, in their ordinary course of businesses, to enter into categories of transactions with specified classes of the Company’s interested persons, provided that such transactions are entered into on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms.

3.2 Categories of Interested Persons

Currently there is no Interested person within the meaning of Chapter 9 of the listing Manual by virtue.

3.3 Nature and Scope of Interested Person Transactions

It is anticipated that enviro-Hub may be required to provide corporate guarantees in future to secure banking and financing facilities for its Subsidiaries, which is deemed an interested person within the meaning of Chapter 9 of the listing Manual. the Ipt Mandate does not cover any Interested person transaction which has a value below S$100,000 as the threshold and aggregation requirements of Chapter 9 of the listing Manual do not apply to such transactions. In addition, the Ipt Mandate will not cover the granting of corporate guarantees to support facilities of Interested persons where such facilities are not used for the Group’s ordinary course of business.

transactions with other interested persons (i.e., other than Subsidiaries of enviro-Hub) which do not fall within the ambit of the Ipt Mandate will be subject to the relevant provisions of Chapter 9 and/or other applicable provisions of the listing Manual.

3.4 Rationale for and Benefits of the IPT Mandate

the Directors are of the view that it will be beneficial for the Company to be able to grant corporate guarantees to support facilities to be obtained by its Subsidiaries if the granting of such corporate guarantees will enable the Subsidiaries to secure banking and financing facilities on more favourable terms. Due to the time-sensitive nature of obtaining banking and financing facilities, the Company is proposing to seek Shareholders’ approval to grant corporate guarantees to support banking and financing facilities obtained by its Subsidiaries provided that such transactions are entered into on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders.

the Ipt Mandate and the renewal of the Ipt Mandate on an annual basis is intended to enhance the Group’s ability to pursue business opportunities which are time-sensitive in nature, and will eliminate the need for the Company to announce, or to announce and convene separate general meetings on each occasion to seek Shareholders’ prior approval for the granting of corporate guarantees to support facilities obtained by its Subsidiaries. this will substantially reduce the expenses associated with the convening of such general meetings from time to time, improve administrative efficiency, and allow resources and time to be focused on other corporate and business opportunities.

3.5 Review Procedures for Interested Person Transactions under the IPT Mandate

(a) to ensure that grant of corporate guarantees by enviro-Hub are on normal commercial terms and not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders, the audit Committee will review and approve the terms of all corporate guarantees.

(b) the audit Committee will review and approve the terms of all corporate guarantees, taking into consideration (but not limited to) the following factors:

(i) whether the corporate guarantee given by the Company to support banking and financing facilities to be obtained by its Subsidiaries is in approximate proportion to the shareholdings of the Company of the Subsidiaries;

(ii) whether the granting of the corporate guarantee is required before banking and financing facilities can be secured and/or whether the terms of the banking and financing facilities are made more favourable with the corporate guarantee; and

(iii) whether the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders are prejudiced through the granting of the corporate guarantee to banks and financial institutions for banking and financing facilities to be granted to the Subsidiary.

79annual report 2007

(c) the Group shall maintain a register to record all Interested person transactions entered into pursuant to the Ipt Mandate, with details on the nature of the transaction and the amount and basis thereto.

(d) the audit Committee currently comprises Mr tan Kok Hiang (Chairman), Mr tan Gim Soo , Mr Chin teck Chuan and Mr. Samuel poon Hon thang. In the event that a member of the audit Committee is interested in a transaction, he shall abstain from participating in the review and approval process in relation to that particular transaction. the audit Committee shall:

(i) examine the transaction and its supporting documents or such other data deemed necessary by them;

(ii) when it deems fit, have the right to require the appointment of independent sources, advisers and/or valuers to provide additional information pertaining to the transaction under review; and

(iii) be provided with the register of Interested person transactions and such other relevant information which it may reasonably require, and it shall review the information on a quarterly basis and consider if the existing review procedures under the Ipt Mandate have become inappropriate and/or commercially impracticable to ensure that the granting of corporate guarantee will be transacted on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders.

a new general mandate from Shareholders shall be sought if the periodic reviews by the audit Committee indicate that the existing guidelines and review procedures under the Ipt Mandate are no longer adequate and/or commercially practicable to ensure that the Interested person transactions will be conducted on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders.

the Ipt Mandate will not cover an interested person transaction which has a value below $100,000 as the threshold and aggregation requirements contained in Chapter 9 of the listing Manual would, in any event, not apply to such transactions. transactions which do not fall within the ambit of the Ipt Mandate will be subject to the relevant provisions of Chapter 9 of the listing Manual. In addition, the Ipt Mandate will not cover the granting of corporate guarantees to support facilities of Interested persons where such facilities are not used for the Group’s ordinary course of business.

If approved at the 2008 aGM, the Ipt Mandate will take effect from the date of the passing of the resolution pertaining to the Ipt Mandate to be proposed at the 2008 aGM and will continue to be in force until the next aGM of the Company. the Company will seek the approval of Shareholders for the renewal of the Ipt Mandate annually. the renewal of the Ipt Mandate shall be subject to satisfactory review by the audit Committee and advisers of the continued requirements of the Ipt Mandate and the procedures for the transactions.

pursuant to rules 907 and 920(1) of the listing Manual, the Company is required to:

(a) disclose in the Company’s annual report of the aggregate value of transactions conducted pursuant to the Ipt Mandate during the current financial year, as well as in the annual reports for the subsequent financial years during which the Ipt Mandate is in force; and

(b) announce the aggregate value of transactions conducted pursuant to the Ipt Mandate during each of the first three quarters and the financial year ending 31 December, not later than 45 days after the relevant financial period.

80 THE GREEN COMBINATION

the name of the interested persons and the corresponding aggregate value of the Ipt Mandate will be presented in the following format:

Name of interested person Aggregate value of all Interested Person Transactions during the financial year under the review (excluding transactions less than $100,000 and transactions conducted under the IPT Mandate

Aggregate value of all Interested Person Transactions, conducted under the IPT Mandate (excluding transactions less than $100,000)

the audit Committee believes that the above guidelines and procedures are sufficient to ensure that the Interested person transactions will be on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders.

If during the periodic reviews by the audit Committee, it is of the view that the established guidelines and procedures are no longer appropriate or adequate to ensure that the Ipt will be transacted on arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms and would not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority shareholders, the Company will seek a fresh mandate from Shareholders based on new guidelines and procedures.
