I am more than pleased to report that FY2009 proved
to be an exceptionally good year for our Group.
notwithstanding the Group’s revenue decline by 7% to
S$165 million over the year, our post-tax earnings for
FY2009 soared to a record S$12.1 million, surpassing the
S$10 million mark for the very first time. Last year FY2008,
we scored a record revenue of S$177 million but this year FY2009, we achieved an all-time high attributable earnings
delivering to our shareholders a robust EPS Earnings per share of
5.2 cents. The Group also ended the financial year with
a stronger balance sheet, as net gearing improved with
net asset value per share rose 15% to 33.7 cents. overall
in FY2009, we accomplished a milestone achievement,
delivering a sterling performance with record earnings
in the Group’s history. Furthermore, this excellence was
achieved in the midst of the worst global economic crisis
seen in decades.
Recounting the past year events, FY2009 began with
a gloomy start. The global economy was thrown into
uncertainty by the unprecedented devastating economic
crisis and its aftermath. This was a period of debacle
when most businesses began to bear the crunch of
the meltdown and ushered in the sudden dip in global
demands. Without exception, our wire harness segment
revenue plunged severely during the trough in the early
part of the year. However, the other core business of
our Group, the electrical lighting segment, performed
relatively well under such a difficult and challenging
environment, achieving a positive revenue growth over
the same period. our outstanding performance in
FY2009 has demonstrated the success of our strategic
focus on induction lighting products. In addition, China’s
fiscal stimulus policies have boosted infrastructural
developments and benefited our business greatly.
on hindsight, the global downturn has given us the
opportunity to take prudent cost management initiatives
that in turn helped to boost the Group’s bottom line.
By capitalizing on the positive factors, namely our
strategic focus, China’s incentive measures and our own
cost controls, we have defied the odds and achieved
an excellent performance in the maelstrom of a weak
economic climate.

OUR CORE BUSINESSES
our electrical lighting segment recorded a revenue of
S$82 million, accounting for 50% of the total Group
revenue in FY2009, as compared to 40% in the previous
year. This represented a greater revenue mix with the
most weight on the electrical lighting segment, which
had induction lamps as their major contributor. The wire
harness segment, established and operated successfully
with our joint venture partner, Sumitomo Wiring Systems
Ltd, Japan for the past few years, will still continue to
yield marginal but stable earnings for the Group, but our
induction lamps will be instrumental in making a bold
difference for our future earnings outlook. If we can
continue to keep ourselves at the forefront of technology,
sustain our competitive edge and strengthen our market
presence, induction lamps will likely be our future core-
growth engine.
INDUCTION LAMPS
The buoyant demand for our induction lamps was
underpinned by the growing awareness of this relatively
new technology having numerous technical merits.
And this underscores the success of our foresight and
commitment to widen the breadth and depth of our R&D
capabilities in the past for this ingenious technological
innovation. Export sales of our induction lamps have now
outstripped domestic sales. The increased reference
projects for our induction lamps demonstrate trust in
our competency as a lighting solution provider that can
deliver reliable and new-age lighting installations to
prominent icons such as airports, where quality, safety
and security are the major concerns. The new era of
induction lamps has emerged as the world’s population
becomes exceedingly eco-conscious and hence the
intrinsic value of induction lamps will be unlocked soon.
Being the prime mover in this field, we are privileged to
have the capabilities and competence to serve the well-
being of eco-conscious communities around the world for
years to come. To cope with the overwhelming demands
of our induction lamps, plans are afoot to expand our
production capabilities in our Fujian, nanping plant.
The first of the expanded production facilities began
its operations in 3Q09 and the second is expected to
be operational ready by 2Q10. We anticipate that these
improved facilities will step up our induction lamp
production output in the coming FY2010 to meet with
the expected demands.
FOCUS ON OUR STRENGHTS
Externally, the global economic landscape is improving,
and there is continued momentum for the China
infrastructural and environmental protection activities in
China. only a few years after its introduction, there is
now a greater awareness of induction lamps. Certainly,
this lighting technology has much to offer technically
and bodes well for the current global green movement.
Internally, we have expanded our production facilities
to capitalize on the impending boom demand of our
induction lamps, with export sales to the west on the rise.
our strong R&D capabilities keep us at the forefront of
technology. It is with this advantageous support that our
manufacturing can excel, giving the business that crucial
competitive edge. We have already made major strides
in China with our growing reputation for superior quality
and established our leadership position in this niche
industry of induction lamps. Given the firm foundation
we have laid so far, we must persist with the ongoing
efforts to further improve our operational efficiency, stay
focused and remain steadfast in executing our growth
strategies. With our pledge to succeed, the Group
will be able to further enhance shareholders’ value. In
addition to our strong position in China, we aspire to

LIGHTInG UP THE WoRLD THRoUGH InnoVATIon
CHAIrMAN’S MESSAGE(continued)
expand our reach to the rest of the world within the
shortest time span possible. When opportunity arises,
we will increase our global strategic collaborations with
reputable industry leaders, to bring our induction lamp
market presence to greater heights.
DIVIDENDS
Without doubt we have achieved an excellent year. The
Board of Directors is proposing a tax exempt one-tier
first and final cash dividend of 4.5% (or 0.9 cents per
share) for FY2009, subject to the shareholder’s approval
at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. This
recommendation was made after due consideration was
given to the business expansion plans and marketing
programs that may be required and embarked upon for
the coming financial year.
WORDS OF APPRECIATION
For the past few years, we have weathered several vicious
economic cycles and each time we have come through
more vigilant and astute. We have been profitable
since our inception in 2001. Much of this success is
attributed to you. As our valued customers, you have
my heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support.
An integral part of our success has been our support
team – good staff produces better products. To our
amazing R&D team who relentlessly invents ingenious
products. Without which, we would not have been able
to rise above the challenges. And last but never least,
to our loyal shareholders. We appreciate your faith and
patience with the Group. All of us at the Board remain
ever so grateful for your understanding and generosity
in the past and we look forward to your commitment and
continued support.
With the milestone achievement in FY2009, we are
aware that we will face the challenge of surpassing this
in the following year. nevertheless, we are confident of
our growth prospects. We pledge to continue striving
hard, to leverage our leading position and competitive
edge in order to further strengthen our induction lighting
business and deliver outstanding value to our faithful
shareholders.

BuSINESS REVIEW
The Group demonstrated its successful strategy to focus on the development of induction lamps, which is in line with our overall approach to grow profit margins. The product dimension of our induction lamps augurs well as the world population becomes more and more green-conscious. The timing for induction lamps could not be better and the Group benefited from having such a right product at the right time especially with the infrastructure boom in the PRC. This largely attributed to the strong earnings we achieved in FY2009.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Revenue - Group revenue recorded for FY2009 was S$165million, 7% lower than that of prior year. Wire harness segment experienced a major setback in 1Q09 during the global meltdown resulting in a 23% year-on-year decline for the segment. The electrical lighting segment however accelerated a 16% revenue growth over the year. Led by induction lamps, our electrical lighting segment contributed more revenue than wire harness segment in the FY2009 under review. Gross Profit - Despite a lower revenue achieved for FY2009, overall gross profit for the group increased by 15% to S$32million. Gross profit margin was a marked improvement of 19%, or a 4% jump over the year. The Group continued to benefit from the strong growth in our induction lighting product segment, which commanded comfortable profit margins. Net Profit After Tax - Post-tax earnings recorded for FY2009 was S$12.1 million, surpassing the S$10 million mark for the first time. Besides overall improved gross profits achieved over the year, bottom line performances were also boosted by the improved profit share of an associate company, lower finance, lower legal costs and write-back of some impairment charges as spurred by the record-low interest rates and global stimulus measures. Attributable Profit - Profit attributable to equity holders for the year was S$10.5 million, against S$1.3 million of prior year. Correspondingly, this translated into an outstanding EPS Earnings per Share of 5.16 cents, significantly much higher than
the 0.62 cents of prior year. Returns on Equity – Rate of returns from shareholder’s equity for FY2009 was at a far higher 15% versus the 2% of previous year.
Financial PositionThe Group closed its FY2009 book with a stronger balance sheet, as net asset value per share rose 15% to 33.7 cents from 29.2 cents a year earlier, net borrowings were lower with a net gearing standing at an improved 0.08x while current ratio hovering at 1.43x, all pointing to the Group’s strengthened financial position for the financial year-end under review.
Current Assets - Current assets rose to S$90million at the financial year-end close, this was S$16million higher over the year. Gross trade receivable went up by S$9million with the DSo standing at 88-day. A portion of this receivable amount was in project retention. Inventory stood at a paltry lower figure of S$28million with a turnover of 80-day. Related parties’ settlement after the financial cut-off time this year largely accounted for the increase in current assets for this financial year-end.
Current Liabilities - The liabilities recorded a balance of S$63million as of this financial year-end, S$8million higher over the year. This increase was attributable to the increase in bills payable and further stretching of trade payable. Current ratio stood at 1.43x compared to the 1.34x of prior year.
Net Borrowings – notably, the Group net borrowings reduced significantly over the year. The lower borrowings status of the Group is a result of positive cash flow from its operating activities, largely contributed by the high-yield induction lamps. This translated into a much lower net gearing ratio at 0.08x for the financial year under review.
Cash Flow - The improved earnings for FY2009 has resulted in a cash increase generated from the Group’s operations. Together with a marginal positive working

the Group demonstrated the success of its strategy to focus on the development of induction lamps which is in line with our overall strategy of growing margins. the product dimension of our induction lamps augurs well as the worldwide population becoming more green conscious.
capital change, our net cash from operating activities for the year was S$15.7million compared to the S$9.0million of prior year. net cash used in the year for investing activities amounted to S$8.7million, mainly for the plant construction-in-process expansion and the acquisition of minority interests. After taking into account the net cash used to repay borrowings during the year, the Group’s free cash flow stood at a positive S$7.1million for the financial year.
BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW
Wire Harness SegmentImpacted by the global economic collapse, which adversely affected the worldwide automotive industry, our wire harness segment suffered a major setback in 1Q09 resulting in a 23% year-on-year revenue decline for the year under review. nevertheless, the segment still accounted for 28% of the total Group operating profit, constituting a backbone profit generator for the Group. With the current worldwide auto industry reviving phenomenally, we expect this segment to do well in the upcoming financial year. In the long run, our wire harness segment should be generating marginal but stable income for the Group, as assured by the long and advantageous established joint venture partnership with Sumitomo Wiring Systems Ltd, Japan.
Electrical Lighting SegmentDespite the global downturn affecting the market, our lighting segment accelerated its contribution by an increase of 16% to S$82million of FY2009 revenue reflecting the strength of this segment. Spearheaded by the induction lamp’s numerous merits, the strong segmental performance in FY2009 was also largely attributable to China’s stimulus measures. These incentives boosted infrastructural projects and green products. During the past year, we continued to ramp up our strategic focus on developing induction lamps, keeping ourselves at the forefront of technology and
providing leading-edge solutions to our customers while maintaining our impeccable track record. FY2009 saw our lighting products gain healthy sales growth momentum with shipments to north America and Europe on the rise. This trend also underscores the growing awareness and acceptance of our induction lighting technology in the west which augurs well as the worldwide population becomes exceedingly more green-conscious. With our expanded production facilities ready by 1Q10, we will double, if not more, our induction lamp production. This will allow us to push these exceptional products into high gear in the next financial year, and to contribute significantly to the Group’s earnings. Besides induction lamps, our electrical ballasts and lighting fixture products were also noteworthy for their positive contributions to the lighting segment in the financial year under review. In FY2009, lighting segment accounted for 50% of the total Group’s revenue but contributed 75% to the total Group’s operating profit. The strength that we see in this segment amidst the economic slowdown has underlined the huge potential of our lighting products. overall, the lighting segment has and will continue to make bold differences in the Groups’ future earnings.
Others SegmentThis is a relatively small-sized segment, contributing a mere 3% of revenue to the Group. In contrast to the other two core businesses, our semiconductor segment did not perform up to mark in FY2009. The global financial turmoil and its aftermath caused a worldwide dumping of ceramic heater products and our semiconductor division was severely squeezed. The division, our Minhang electronic (aviation), recorded a marginal loss for FY2009. Going forward, the division will be perusing its newly developed product “Core Heater Rod” which is compact in size for the new-age soldering pen. With this new strategic focus, the segment is hoping to turnaround in the next coming financial year. Equally underperforming, our fire & burglary safes division JKMI, took a continued breather and the division bottom lines for this financial year were still mired in the red in spite the improving
13JK YAMInG InTERnATIonAL HoLDInGS LTD
AnnUAL REPoRT 2009 LIGHTInG UP THE WoRLD THRoUGH InnoVATIon
economic climate. The division is currently under the management strategic direction review.
Review by Geographical SegmentsThe weakness in our wire harness segment explained the smaller pie of 47% down from 57% for the Japan segment in FY2009 whereas export sales of our lighting products to America continued to forge ahead contributing to the increased 20% up from 12% for the “America” slice. Domestic (China) sales remained at about the same market share hovering 25% over the year. In a longer term, we envisage a larger share emerging for the America and Europe segments alongside with the global green movement. Communities in the west are generally receptive to the use of our induction lamps. Being more eco-conscious and high labor cost are cited as the reasons.
Associate CompanyThe Group’s associate company JKE, engaged in the wire harness business for the China auto market, turned around their operations swiftly achieving a net profit of S$0.7million, contributing positively to the Group’s FY2009 bottom line. JKE has benefited from the recent strong recovery in China’s auto industry.
Moving Forward – Focus on our strengths and growing our margins Moving forward, we continue to be excited by the huge potential of our induction lamps. The strong performance achieved in FY2009 reinforces our belief that Group’s future growth lies primarily with induction lamps. We must continue to ride on our collective strengths. Years after it’s introduction, there is now a greater awareness of this lighting technology, which exhibits numerous technical merits. We have already made major strides in China and we will continue to ramp up our strategic focus on the development of these high-yield products. our growing reputation and superior induction lamp quality has helped us establish ourselves as the prime mover in the induction lighting industry in China. This helps us to secure more prestigious projects, which is in line with our overall strategy to grow our profit margins.
Given our strong R&D capabilities, the leadership position we hold in China, the continued momentum for China’s infrastructural, environment protection activities, the inroads which we have made in the west, the growing awareness of induction lighting technology and our expanded production readiness by 1Q10, we are uniquely well positioned to leap across towards a new era of growth. However, we must stay focused and remain steadfast in driving our operational excellence to sustain our competitiveness in the niche market of induction lamps.
ProspectsLooking ahead, we are currently well positioned to benefit from the rising demand of induction lamps. We expect the growth momentum of these technologically advanced products to continue to serve as the growth catalyst in the Group’s future earnings.
on the wire harness segment, we expect this part of our Group to restore fully and perform well, contributing positively to the Group moving forward. The recent strong Asia recovery in auto industry has given us this growing confidence.
Hence, with the current improving economic outlook, the global green movement and our competitive strength in the induction lamp market, our Group’s potential earnings outlook should be favorable, growing solidly from strength to strength.

Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 29 to the financial statements.
A claim was lodged by Segue electronic, Inc (“Segue”) and Shine Capacitors, LLC (”Shine”) (“Segue” and “Shine” collectivelythe“Plaintiffs”)againsttheCompanyandtwoofitssubsidiaries,FujianJuanKuangYamingElectricLimited( “FJKYM”) and Anhui Juan Kuang Electric Co. Ltd. ( “AHJK”) (the Company, “FJKYM” and “AHJK” collectively the “Defendants”) in the State Court of California, the United States of America (“US”) in year 2005.
The Plaintiffs have claimed monetary damages for loss of profits, loss of sales and consequential damages for breach of contracts. The Defendants have filed cross-complaint and response to dismiss the claims and are defending their actions.
Claims of monetary damages against the Company
On13September2007,thetrialcourtinUSenteredalegaljudgmentinfavoroftheCompanyduringaspecialhearingonsummaryjudgmentfiledbytheCompany.ThisresultedintheCompany’sdismissalfromthecase.However,thePlaintiffsmadeasubsequentappealandtheCaliforniaCourtofAppealhasoverturnedtheaforesaidjudgmentinApril 2009 and returned the case to the trial court level in June 2009. The trial court has not taken any action to issue a pre-trial and trial schedule to the Company. In the event that the case against the Company is to pursue further, the Directors of the Company believe that there is reasonable chance that the Company would succeed. This view is based on the advice of the Company’s legal counsel in US on the case to date.
Claims of monetary damages against FJKYM and AHJK
DuringthejurytrialinSeptemberandOctober2008heldinCaliforniaSuperiorCourt,thejuryawardedSegueUS$3.9million(equivalentto$5.5million)indamagesagainstAHJKandnodamagesagainstFJKYM.ThejuryawardednodamagestoShine.Post-trialbriefinghasbeencompletedandthetrialcourtjudgedeclinedtooverturntheverdictfor Segue against AHJK. It also declined to find liability for Segue against FJKYM and for Shine against either AHJK or FJKYM.
Both Segue and Shine have filed a notice of appeal. Similarly, AHJK has also filed a notice of appeal and intends to request that verdict against AHJK be overturned. Opening briefs for both sides are scheduled to be filed around 31 March 2010.
The Directors of the Company are of the view that the above award of US$ 3.9 million lacks merit and the amount awarded was excessive. It is the Company’s US legal counsel’s view, as indicated in the appeal documents, that there wasinsufficientevidencetosupportthejury’sawardandtherearealsoafewotherpersuasiveargumentssupportingAHJK.TheDirectorsoftheCompanyarereasonablyconfidentthatthisjudgmentonAHJKwillbereversedoratleasthas the awarded sum reduced, on the main contention that it is contrary to the evidence since, as the undisputed evidence showed, there was never any contract directly entered between AHJK and Segue.
In addition, legal advice obtained from the Company’s legal counsel in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) indicates thattheabovementionedjudgmentisnotlegallyenforceableinthePRCjurisdiction.Accordingly,theDirectorsoftheCompanyareoftheviewthatitisnotlikelyforAHJKtosettlethesaidjudgmentunderthepresentcircumstances.
Based on the circumstances described above, it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefitsfromAHJKwillberequiredtosettlethejudgmentpresently.Assuch,noprovisionforliabilityhasbeenmadein the financial statements.

(a) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when a Group entity has delivered the products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products and collectibility of the related recoverable is reasonably assured.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
(c) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

2.2 Revenue recognition (cont’d)
(d) Rental income
Rental income from operating leases on investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(e) Subsidy income
Subsidy income from the government is recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.
2.3 Group accounting
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern thefinancialandoperatingpolicies,generallyaccompaniedbyashareholdinggivingrisetoamajorityof the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the date of acquisition, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. Please refer to Note 2.6 (a) for the accounting policy on goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Minority interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the Group. They are measured at the minorities’ share of the fair value of the subsidiaries’ identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition by the Group and the minorities’ share of changes in equity since the date of acquisition, except when the minorities’ share of losses in a subsidiary exceeds its interest in the equity of that subsidiary. In such cases, the excess and further losses applicable to the minorities are attributed to the equity holders of the Company, unless the minorities have a binding obligation to, and are able to, make good the losses. When that subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the profits applicable to the minority are attributed to the equity holders of the Company until the minorities’ share of losses previously absorbed by the equity holders of the Company are fully recovered.
Please refer to Note 2.7 for the accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of the Company.

(ii) Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.3 Group accounting (cont’d)
(b) Transactions with minority interests
The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recognised in the income statement. Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the Group’s incremental share of the carrying value of identifiable net assets of the subsidiary.
(c) Associate companies
Associate companies are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control, and generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to between and including 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting less impairment losses.
Investments in associate companies are initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
In applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of its associated companies’ post-acquisition profits or losses are recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition movements inreservesisrecognisedinequitydirectly.Thesepost-acquisitionmovementsareadjustedagainstthe carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in associate companies equals or exceeds its interest in the associated companies, including any other unsecured non-current receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has obligations or has made payments on behalf of the associate companies.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associated companies. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of associate companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Dilution gains and losses arising from investments in associated companies are recognised in profit or loss.
Please refer to Note 2.7 for the accounting policy on investments in associated companies in the separate financial statements of the Company.
2.4 Property, plant and equipment
(a) Measurement
All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

(b) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated using a straight line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Useful lives
Freehold building 50 yearsLeasehold land term of lease (50 years)Leasehold buildings 20 yearsPlant and equipment 5 -10 yearsMotor vehicles 5 yearsOffice equipment 3 to 10 years

Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the financial statements.
(c) Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents costs incurred in the construction of property, plant and equipment. Cost comprises direct costs of construction incurred during the period of construction, installation and testing.
Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when it is ready for its intended use. No depreciation is effected on construction in progress until the relevant assets are completed and are ready for its intended use or put into use.
(d) Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
(e) Disposal
On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

2.5 Investment properties
Investment properties of the Group are held for long-term rental yields and capital appreciation and are not occupied by the Group. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, plus transaction costs.
Subsequently, investment properties are stated at fair value based on annual valuations by independent professional valuers on the basis of open market value. Changes in fair values are recognised in profit or loss.
On the disposal of an investment property, the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss.
2.6 Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill on acquisitions
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of theidentifiableassets,liabilitiesandcontingentliabilitiesoftheacquiredsubsidiaries,jointventuresand associated companies at the date of acquisition. Goodwillonsubsidiariesandjointventures is recognised separately as intangible assets and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill on associated companies is included in the carrying amount of the investments.

(b) Patent rights
This represents costs incurred to obtain patent rights. They are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of patent rights over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 10 years.
The amortisation period and amortisation method of intangible assets other than goodwill are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the income statement when the changes arise.
2.7 Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies
Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s balance sheet.
On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss.

2.8 Impairment of non – financial assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and whichever there is indication that the goodwill may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating-units (“CGU”) expected to benefit from synergies of the business combination.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of CGU, including the goodwill, exceeds the recoverable amount of the CGU. Recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
The total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU.
An impairment loss on goodwill is recognised as an expense and is not reversed in a subsequent period.
(b) Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, investments in subsidiaries and associated companies
Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries and associated companiesare tested for impairmentwhenever there isanyobjectiveevidenceor indication thatthese assets may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount .
The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss.
An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets’ recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss.

2.9 Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments.
(i) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The designation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is irrevocable.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are presented as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are presented as “trade and other receivables”, “other current assets” and “cash and cash equivalents” on the balance sheet.
(ii) Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On disposal of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale proceeds is recognised in profit or loss. Any amount in the fair value reserve relating to that asset is transferred to profit or loss.
(iii) Initial measurement
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs.
(iv) Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivable are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(v) Impairment of financial assets
TheGroupassessesateachbalancesheetdatewhetherthereisobjectiveevidencethatafinancialasset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists.

2.9 Financial assets (cont’d)
(v) Impairment of financial assets (cont’d)
The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in profit or loss.
The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through profit or loss in a subsequent period whentheamountofimpairmentlossdecreasesandtherelateddecreasecanbeobjectivelymeasured.The carrying amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed the amortised cost, had no impairment been recognised in prior periods.
2.10 Research costs
Research costs are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.
2.11 Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities
The fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as exchange traded and over-the-counter securities and derivatives) are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quotedmarketpricesusedforfinancialassetsarethecurrentbidprices;theappropriatequotedmarketprices for financial liabilities are the current asking prices.
The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Where appropriate, quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used. Valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, are also used to determine the fair values of the financial instruments.
The fair values of currency forwards are determined using actively quoted forward exchange rate.
The fair values of current financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate their carrying amounts.
2.12 Borrowings
Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value (net of transaction costs incurred) subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
2.13 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.14 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised using the effective interest method.
2.15 Leases
When the Group is the lessee:
The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment under finance and operating leases from non related parties.
Finance leases
Leases where the Group assumes substantially the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets are classified as finance leases.
The leased assets and the corresponding lease liabilities (net of finance charges) under finance leases are recognised on the balance sheet as property, plant and equipment and borrowings respectively, at the inception of the leases based on the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability. The finance expense is recognised in the income statement and allocated to each period during the lease term so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the finance lease liability.
Operating leases
Leases of assets where 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 taken to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.
When the Group is the lessor:
Operating leases
Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment properties and are stated at revalued amounts and not depreciated. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.16 Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

2.17 Income taxes
Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amounts expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.
A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is measured at:
(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantiallyenactedbythebalancesheetdate;and
(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised directly in equity.Deferredtaxarisingfromabusinesscombinationisadjustedagainstgoodwillonacquisition.
2.18 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;itismorelikelythannotthatanoutflowofresourceswillberequiredtosettletheobligationandthe amount has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised in profit or loss as finance expense.
Changes in the estimated timing or amount of the expenditure or discount rate are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise.

2.19 Employee compensation
Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long-service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
Defined contribution plan
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities such as Central Provident Fund (“CPF”) and social security bureaus in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) as described below, and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and preceding financial year. The Group’s contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised in the financial year to which they relate.
The Group participates in retirement insurance scheme organised by the social security bureau in the PRC pursuant to the relevant provisions. The subsidiaries in PRC are required to make monthly contribution in respect of the above insurance schemes to the PRC social security bureau based on the monthly salaries of its employees. The Group has no further liabilities other than the above defined contribution. The Group’s contributions under the schemes are recognised in the financial year to which they relate.
2.20 Currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.
(b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation differences from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss, unless they arise from borrowings in foreign currencies, other currency instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges and net investment in foreign operations. Those currency translation differences are recognised in the currency translation differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve in the consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.

2.20 Currency translation (cont’d)
(c) Translation of Group entities’ financial statements
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from presentation currency are translated into presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(ii) Income and expenses 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,inwhichcaseincomeandexpensesaretranslatedatthedatesofthetransactions);and
(iii) All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve.
Goodwilland fairvalueadjustmentsarisingontheacquisitionof foreignoperationsonorafter1January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rates at the reporting date. For acquisitions prior to 1 January 2005, the exchange rates at the dates of acquisition are used.
2.21 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to management who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
2.22 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includecashonhandanddepositswithfinancial institutionswhichare subject toan insignificant riskofchange in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are presented as borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
2.23 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account.
2.24 Dividend
Interim dividends are recorded in the financial year in which they are declared payable. Final dividends are recorded in the financial year in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders.

3. Adoption of new and revised singapore Financial Reporting standards
On 1 January 2009, the Group adopted the new or amended FRS and Interpretations to FRS (“INT FRS”) that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INT FRS. The following are the new or revised FRS and INT FRS that are relevant to the Group:
• FRS1(revised)Presentationoffinancialstatements(effectivefrom1January2009).Therevisedstandardprohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, ‘non-owner changes in equity’) in the statement of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity are shown in a performance statement, but entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive income). The Group has chosen to adopt the former alternative. Where comparative information is restated or reclassified, a restated balance sheet is required to be presented as at the beginning comparative period. There is no restatement of the balance sheet as at 1 January 2008 in the current financial year.
• FRS108Operatingsegments (effective from1January2009) replacesFRS14Segment reporting,andrequires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. Segment revenue, segment profits and segment assets are also measured on a basis that is consistent with internal reporting.
• AmendmenttoFRS107Improvingdisclosuresaboutfinancialstatements(effectivefrom1January2009).The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy. The adoption of the amendment results in additional disclosures but does not have an impact on the accounting policies and measurement bases adopted by the Group.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group and the Company and are consistent with those used in the previous period presented in these financial statements.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The 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 causingamaterialadjustmenttothecarryingamountsofassetsandliabilitieswithinthenextfinancialyeararediscussed below.
Impairment and uncollectibility of trade receivables
The Group follows the guidance of FRS 39 (revised 2007) in determining when trade receivables are impaired. Thisdeterminationrequiressignificantjudgment.TheGroupevaluates,amongotherfactors,significantfinancialdifficulty of the debtor, adverse changes in the collection status and changes in industry conditions that affect the debtor.
Future cash flows of trade receivables that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for debts with similar credit risk characteristics. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. Impairment loss amounted to approximately $649,000 (2008: $2,796,000) was made during the year. The carrying amounts of trade receivables as at 31 December 2009 was approximately $36,607,000 (2008: $26,401,000).

by PRC entities for profits generated before 1 January 2008 are exempt from withholding tax. Dividend paid in respectofprofitsgeneratedonorafter1January2008willbesubjecttoawithholdingtaxof5%.
At the end of the reporting period, the aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with the undistributed earnings of the subsidiaries for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised is approximately $1,058,000 (RMB4,990,000) [(2008: $435,000 (RMB2,063,000)]. No liability has been recognised in respect of these differences because the Group is in a position to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Group’s large number of customers with a variety of end markets in which they sell. As such, management believes that there is no anticipated additional credit risk beyond the amount of allowance for impairment made in the Group’s trade receivables.
Amounts due from subsidiaries and an associate - non-trade are unsecured, interest-free and are repayable on demand.

29. Contingent liabilities
A claim was lodged by Segue electronic, Inc (“Segue”) and Shine Capacitors, LLC (”Shine”) (“Segue” and “Shine”collectivelythe“Plaintiffs”)againsttheCompanyandtwoofitssubsidiaries,FujianJuanKuangYamingElectric Limited (“FJKYM”) and Anhui Juan Kuang Electric Co. Ltd. (“AHJK”) (the Company, “FJKYM” and “AHJK” collectively the “Defendants”) in the State Court of California, the United States of America (“US”) in year 2005.
The Plaintiffs have claimed monetary damages for loss of profits, loss of sales and consequential damages for breach of contracts. The Defendants have filed cross-complaint and response to dismiss the claims and are defending their actions.
Claims of monetary damages against the Company
On13September2007,thetrialcourtinUSenteredalegaljudgmentinfavoroftheCompanyduringaspecialhearingonsummaryjudgmentfiledbytheCompany.ThisresultedintheCompany’sdismissalfromthecase.However, the Plaintiffs made a subsequent appeal and the California Court of Appeal has overturned the aforesaid judgmentinApril2009andreturnedthecasetothetrialcourtlevelinJune2009.Thetrialcourthasnottakenanyaction to issue a pre-trial and trial schedule as to the Company. In the event that the case against the Company is to pursue further, the Directors of the Company believe that there is reasonable chance that the Company would succeed. This view is based on the advice of the Company’s legal counsel in US on the case to date.
Claims of monetary damages against FJKYM and AHJK
DuringthejurytrialinSeptemberandOctober2008heldinCaliforniaSuperiorCourt,thejuryawardedSegueUS$ 3.9 million (equivalent to $ 5.5 million) in damages against AHJK and no damages against FJKYM. The juryawardednodamagestoShine.Post-trialbriefinghasbeencompletedandthetrialcourtjudgedeclinedtooverturn the verdict for Segue against AHJK. It also declined to find liability for Segue against FJKYM and for Shine against either AHJK or FJKYM.
Both Segue and Shine have filed a notice of appeal. Similarly, AHJK has also filed a notice of appeal and intends to request that verdict against AHJK be overturned. Opening briefs for both sides are scheduled to be filed around 31 March 2010.
The Directors of the Company are of the view that the above award of US$ 3.9 million lacks merit and the amount awarded was excessive. It is our US legal counsel’s view, as indicated in the appeal documents, that there was insufficientevidencetosupportthejury’saward.TherearealsoafewotherpersuasiveargumentssupportingAHJK.TheDirectorsoftheCompanyarereasonablyconfidentthatthisjudgmentonAHJKwillbereversedorat least has the awarded sum reduced, on the main contention that it is contrary to the evidence since, as the undisputed evidence showed, there was never any contract directly entered between AHJK and Segue.
In addition, legal advice obtained from the Company’s legal counsel in People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) indicatesthattheabovementionedjudgmentisnotlegallyenforceableinthePRCjurisdiction.Accordingly,itisnotlikelyforAHJKtosettlethesaidjudgmentunderthepresentcircumstances.
At the date of authorization for the issue of these financial statements, based on the legal opinion obtained and the circumstances as elaborated above, the Directors of the Company are of the opinion that it is unlikely that the Group will incur material losses in respect the legal claims.
30. Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

30. Financial risk management (cont’d)
(a) Currency risk
The Group operates primarily in the PRC and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures including Renminbi (“RMB”), Japanese Yen (“JPY”) and United States Dollars (“USD”) as sales and purchases to customers are primarily in those currencies. The Group does not have a formal policy with respect to the abovementioned foreign exchange transactions and have not undertaken any hedging activities as the Group believes that the practice of using the same currencies for sales and purchases as far as possible provides a natural hedge and reduces the exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. If the Group’s business volumes grow in the future, the directors may consider hedging the foreign exchange currency risks.
The financial statements of Chinese subsidiaries were translated from RMB to SGD to be included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
The Group’s and the Company’s currency exposure based on the information provided to key management is as follows:

(b) Interest rate risks
As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially unaffected by changes in market interest rates, except for the interest rate risks arising from the Group’s borrowings.
The Group’s interest risk mainly arises from borrowings, details of which are set out in Note 21(c). Borrowings expose the Group and the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available without increasing its foreign currency exposure. Surplus funds are placed with reputable banks.
The Group’s borrowings at variable rates on which effective hedges have not been entered into, are denominated mainly in RMB, JPY and USD. If their interest rates increase/decrease by 0.5% (2008: 0.5%) with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the Group’s net profit will be lower/higher by $64,000 (2008: $35,000).
The Company’s borrowings at variable rates on which effective hedges have not been entered into, are denominated mainly in USD. If the USD interest rates increase/decrease by 0.5% (2008: 0.5%) with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the Company’s net profit will be lower/higher by $14,000 (2008: $14,000).

(c) Credit risk (cont’d)
Most of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with banks in PRC. The carrying amounts of trade receivables represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The Group’s credit terms range from 90 days to 180 days.
No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.

33. New accounting standards and FRs interpretation
Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 or later periods and which the Group has not early adopted. The Group’s assessment of the impact of adopting those standards, amendments and interpretations that are relevant to the Group is set out below:
(a) Amendments to FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement– Eligible Hedged Items (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009)
This amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation should be applied in particular situations. The Group will apply this amendment from 1 January 2010, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
(b) FRS 27 (revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
FRS 27 (revised) requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. The Group will apply FRS 27 (revised) prospectively to transactions with minority interests from 1 January 2010.
(c) FRS 103 (revised) Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009)
FRS 103 (revised) continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. The Group will apply FRS 103 (revised) prospectively to all business combinations from 1 January 2010.
34. Authorisation of financial statements
These financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors of JK Yaming International Holdings Ltd on 29 March 2010.
