REAPING THE ‘FRUITS’ OF INVESTMENTIt is heartening to note the returns on the strategicinvestments that we have made to expand our globalpresence in the last financial year.We are beginning to see promising results of ourefforts to develop and manufacture our own proprietary,specialized products for niche customers. For instance,our 60%-owned subsidiary, HP&T Products, Inc. (HP&T)based in Houston, USA, has made significant progressin securing business from most drilling and well testingcompanies, and are now on the approved vendors listof a number of oil companies. Having doubled itsrevenue in year 2002, HP&T looks set to achievebreakeven in the current financial year. Currently, it hasgarnered a core of blue-chip customers including Shelland BP. Manufacturing of HPT TM ’s specialized highpressure and temperature valves is currently outsourcedto an external manufacturer based in Houston, withplanned expansion for manufacturing in South East Asiaduring 2003.Similarly, our investments in KVC Co., Ltd in Japanand KVC (UK) Ltd in Scotland, U.K., are making someheadway as sales from North Asia and Europe have alsoincreased.PENETRATING THE PRC MARKETPRC clearly dominates the Asian oil scene in terms ofreserves and production. As the second-largestoil consumer in Asia, PRC, given its robust economicexpansion, is a market with significant growth potential.To further penetrate the PRC market, we established FederalInternational (Shanghai) Co., Ltd to undertake the tradingand procurement of specialized valves and other flowlinecontrol products within the Free Trade Zone in the PRC.We believe that the setting up of the Shanghai tradingarm is timely as it enables the Group to capitalize onthe strong growth potential in the PRC, whose economy isexpected to power ahead with 7% GDP growth this year.Such strong growth definitely translates into greater energyrequirements to fuel the engines of the economy.Besides increasing our market share in the PRC, thisShanghai subsidiary will position us to tap the businessopportunities available in North Asian markets.We expect the PRC market to be one of the key marketscontributing to our group sales.EXPANDING ASEAN OPERATIONSLast year saw strong contribution from the ASEANregion, especially from Indonesia. Our strategicpartnership with PT Gunanusa Utama Fabricators (PTG)continued to be strong and mutually beneficial as wemanaged to secure major contracts for a few EPCprojects from reputed MNCs and oil majors in Indonesia.Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002Chairman’s Statement 3We are optimistic about the prospects for the Group,given the robust outlook for the energy sector in the region.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 20024Chairman’s StatementMOVING FORWARDWe are optimistic about the prospects for the Group,given the robust outlook for the energy sector in theregion. The regional demand for energy looks set toincrease in tandem with the economic growth of Asiancountries, especially PRC. In Southeast Asia, oil and gasexploration and production activities are still showingsteady growth. As the Southeast Asian market continuesto be our key growth driver for the next few years,we will ride on the exciting growth potential of theregional energy sector to further fuel our businessexpansion.We are making firm strides in growing the brandequity of HPT TM and KVC TM trademarks. We intend toleverage on these international brands to furtherstrengthen Federal’s position in Asia, particularly in thePRC where we can build on our distribution infrastructureto market our products more aggressively.In so doing, we will be one of the few companies inAsia capable of providing a seamless value chain forenergy products and services to the booming oil andgas sector in Asia.In addition to partnering PTG in Indonesia, we arealso collaborating with other players, the most recentone being the contract clinched from PT Astinaputeraand PT Transmega Ekacipta Corp in March this year.At the same time, we will continue with our expansionthrust into the new markets of Europe, Japan andthe USA.We intend to leverage on these international brands to furtherstrengthen Federal’s position in Asia, particularly in the PRC wherewe can build on our distribution infrastructure to marketour products more aggressively.

For future long-term earnings growth, we areexploring the possibility of teaming up with ahomegrown engineering specialist to embark on anoffshore oil and gas project in Indonesia on aBuild-Own-Operate or Build-Own-Transfer basis.This project is expected to generate a stream of recurringincome for Federal for the next 10 years.BEEFING UP THE MANAGEMENT TEAMIn light of the aggressive expansion by the Grouplast year, our management and professional resourceshave been enhanced. We are happy to welcome onboardtwo senior managers - Vincent Loi, as General Managerof Federal Hardware Engineering Co Pte Ltd, andMichael Tay, as General Manager of Federal International(2000) Ltd. Mr. Tay will be responsible for overseeingthe operations and driving the profitability of Federal’soverseas subsidiaries and/or associated companies,while Mr. Loi’s key focus is to oversee the managementof Federal Hardware’s EPC projects.Given the Middle East tensions still bubbling,we expect year 2003 to be challenging in terms of theoverall business sentiment. However, given the resilientnature of the energy sector, coupled with the seedsof growth that we have sown in the past 2 years, we areconfident of achieving another year of positiveperformance in year 2003 and continuing to delivervalue to our shareholders.Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002Chairman’s Statement 5ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSOn behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to recordmy sincere appreciation to our customers, shareholdersand business partners for their continued support.A note of thanks also to the management and all ourstaff for their tireless efforts and contribution in meetingthe Group’s set targets and goals.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 20026Business ReviewRiding on the vibrant growth in the regional energy sector, Federal closed thefinancial year 2002 on a positive note. The Group recorded encouraging growthin terms of revenue and net profit.PERFORMANCE BY BUSINESS SEGMENTThe ‘flow-line control products and services’ segmentcontinued to be the star performer and largestcontributor. Revenue for this segment was S$73.2million, which accounted for 76.2% of the Group’s totalrevenue, up 36.8% over S$53.5 million in financial year2001. Operating profit amounted to S$4.2 million,up 273.7% from last year. The improved performanceof this business segment was a result of new projectssecured in Indonesia, increase in sales from key Asianmarkets such as PRC and Malaysia and contributions fromnew investment in Scotland.Sales from the ‘oilfield drilling equipment’ segmentamounted to S$15.7 million, which accounted for 16.3%of total revenue, and constituted a rise of 62.7% overlast year. Even though this segment is still makingoperating losses of S$0.6 million, it is 59.2% lower thanlast year.Our US subsidiary, HP&T Products, Inc. (HP&T) hasbeen progressively building up its market positioning.Its revenue based on royalties received for research andengineering activities and commission on sales throughtheir marketing activities on sub-sea specialized valvesis on a compounded growth path. HP&T currently hasfour patent applications in place and have received onepatent for a Hydraulic Failsafe Valve Actuator for surfaceapplications. The design allows for open and closinggate valves up to 20,000psi working pressure, and canbe adapted to fit on most gate valves in the marketplace today.Revenue for the ‘flow-line control products and services’ segment wasS$73.2 million, which accounted for 76.2% of the Group’s totalrevenue, up 36.8% over S$53.5 million for financial year 2001.

Business ReviewFederal is well placed to benefit from the continuing growing trendby major oil companies to diversify their oil exploration andproduction activities beyond the Middle East into other parts ofthe world, especially the Asia Pacific region.Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 20027The ‘fire protection and suppression’ segment sawa drop in sales of 40.4% to S$4.8 million for the year inreview. This was due primarily to a general weakeningof demand from our customers in the telecom, computerdata and banking/finance sectors. In line with therevenue decline, operating profit for this segment alsofell to S$0.2 million.In August 2002, we incorporated Federal FireEngineering Pte Ltd which is intended to focus on thesupply and installation supervision of fire and protectionsystems and related products. Firematic Engineering PteLtd, which used to handle the entire gamut of activities,ranging from design, engineering, supply, andinstallation supervision, will concentrate on providingmaintenance and repair services. This division of labourbetween the two subsidiaries facilitates specialisationand sharpens business focus, while enabling us to buildup the Federal brand name so that we can better positionourselves for more aggressive marketing to newpotential clients in the oil and gas sector.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 20028Business ReviewPERFORMANCE BY GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTSIn terms of contribution to group revenue, Indonesiacontinued to be the top-performing market accountingfor 37.4% of total sales, followed by Singapore (19.7%),PRC (16.7%) and Malaysia (12%).On a year-on-year basis, PRC registered the highestrevenue growth at 102.6%, followed by Thailand (94%),Malaysia (52.6%) and Indonesia (42.8%). The growth inPRC is mainly due to our strategy in capturing the marketshare at low margin and the fact that some of the projectswhich were delayed in the previous years took off thisyear. The success in Thailand is due to our strategy ofproximity to our customers by setting up AltonInternational (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to take care of theirrequirements. In Malaysia and Indonesia, we have beenworking on strategic partnerships by project to increasethe growth of our sales.BUOYANT ENERGY DEMAND IN ASIAFederal is well placed to benefit from the continuinggrowing trend by major oil companies to diversify theiroil exploration and production activities beyond theMiddle East into other parts of the world, especially theAsia Pacific region.The discovery of natural gas reserves in Asiahas also elevated the region to become the regionalcentre for the global liquefied gas business. The risingimportance of natural gas as an alternative to oilas energy source also spells another excitinggrowth area.PRC is currently the world’s seventh largest oilimporter. Rising oil imports are needed to meet itsgrowing demand for energy to fuel its rapid economicdevelopment. Even while we have established ourOn a year-on-year basis, PRC registered the highest revenue growthat 102.6%, followed by Thailand (94%), Malaysia (52.6%) andIndonesia (42.8%).

Business ReviewThe discovery of natural gas reserves in Asia has also elevatedthe region to become the regional centre for the global liquefied gasbusiness. The rising importance of natural gas as an alternative tooil as energy source also spells another exciting growth area.Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 20029market presence in PRC since 1988, we are still workingrelentlessly to harness the exciting growth potentialof the energy sector in that market. Hence theestablishment of Federal International (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd last year to undertake the trading and procurementof specialized valves and other flowline control productswithin the Free Trade Zone in PRC is a step forward toenlarge our distribution channel.Indonesia, with its active energy exploration anddevelopment scene, will continue to be a strongholdfor Federal. In June 2002, our deemed subsidiary,PT Federal International, acquired 10% interest inPTG for a consideration of US$1.5 million. We believethat this investment in PTG would foster closer ties, andmaximize the synergies, between the two companies.Singapore, continuing to hold its own as thepetrochemical sector here, is still robust in terms ofgrowth prospects.

Corporate Governance ReportPrinciple 1 : The Board’s Conduct of its AffairsThe principal functions of the Board are:(1) Approving the Group’s policies, strategies and financial objectives of the Company and monitoring theperformance of management;Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 200219(2) Overseeing the processes for evaluating the adequacy of internal controls, risk management, financial reportingand compliance;(3) Approving the nominations of board of directors and appointment of key personnel;(4) Approving annual budgets, major funding proposals, approving investment and divestment proposals ofmore than 5% of Group’s NTA;(5) Assuming responsibility for corporate governance and compliance with the Companies Act and the rules andrequirements of regulatory bodies.Matters, which are specifically reserved to the full Board for decision, are those involving a conflict of interest for asubstantial shareholder or a director, material acquisitions and disposal of assets, corporate or financial restructuringand share issuances and dividends. Additionally, the Board delegates certain of its function to the Executive,Nominating, Audit and Remuneration Committees.The Company’s Articles of Association (the “Articles”) allow a board meeting to be conducted by way of teleconferenceand a resolution in writing signed by the majority of directors. The attendance of the directors atmeeting of the Board and Board committees, as well as the frequency of such meetings, is found on page 18 of theAnnual Report.The Company also has an on-going training budget for the existing directors to fund the directors’ participation atindustry conferences and seminars, and to fund directors’ attendance at any course of instruction/training programmein connection with their duties as directors. The budget may be utilized by each director subject to the approval ofthe Chairman. The Company has adopted a policy that directors are also welcome to request further explanations,briefings or informal discussions on any aspects of the Company’s operations or business issues from themanagement. The Chairman/CEO will make the necessary arrangements for the briefings, informal discussions orexplanations required by the director.For the last 3 years, no new director was appointed and thus it was not necessary to conduct an orientationtrainingprogramme.Principle 2 : Board Composition and BalancePresently, the Board comprises 2 independent directors and 5 executive directors. We have not been able to complywith the recommended requirement with regard to having one third of the board composition comprising independentdirectors. The Board has reviewed its option and is satisfied that its current composition and board size areappropriate, having taken into account the nature and scope of the Group’s operations. The Board is of the viewthat to fully comply for a third of the board to be independent directors now is non-justifiable.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 200220Corporate Governance ReportThe independence of each director is reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee (“NC”). The NC adopts theCode’s definition of what constitutes an independent director in its review, and further, that no individual or smallgroup of individuals dominate the Board’s decision making process.Key information regarding the directors is found on page 12 to 13 of the Annual Report. The NC is of the view thatthe current Board comprised persons as a group provides core competencies necessary to meet the Company’stargets.Principle 3 : Role of Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerMr. Koh Kian Kiong is the Chairman and CEO. He is also one of the executive directors. This is not in compliancewith the Code of Corporate Governance. As Mr. Koh is responsible for the Board and has full executive responsibilitiesover the directions and operational decisions of the Group since 1974, it will take time to segregate the function.Moreover, Mr. Koh is also a substantial shareholder of the Company and he is, therefore, motivated to contribute tothe growth and profitability of the business.The Chairman ensures that board meetings are held when necessary. The Chairman reviews most board papersbefore they are presented to the Board and ensures that board members are provided with complete, adequate andtimely information. Management staff members who have prepared the papers or who can provide additionalinsight into the matters to be discussed are invited to present the paper or attend at the relevant time during theboard meeting.Principle 6 : Access to InformationIn order to ensure that the Board is able to fulfill its responsibilities, management provides the board members withthe monthly management accounts and other financial statements within 20 days after the month-end. All analysts’reports on the Company are forwarded to the directors on an on-going basis as and when received. With effect from1 April 2003, the directors have also been provided with the phone number and e-mail particulars of the Company’ssenior management and company secretary to facilitate access.Should directors, whether as a group or individually, need independent professional advice, the company secretarywill, upon direction by the Board, appoint a professional advisor selected by the group or the individual, andapproved by the Chairman, to render the advice. The cost of such professional advice will be borne by the Company.The Company Secretary attends all board meetings and is responsible for ensuring that board procedures arefollowed. The Company Secretary also ensures that all related statues and regulations applicable to the Companyare complied with.Please refer to the “Corporate Information” section of the annual report for the composition of the Company’s Boardof Directors, Board committees and the management committee.BOARD COMMITTEESThe Board is assisted by the Executive, Nominating, Audit and Remuneration Committees.

The estimated useful life is revised for impairment when events or changes incircumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill is stated at costless accumulated amortisation and any impairment.Negative goodwillNegative goodwill arising on acquisition represents the excess of the fair value of the identifiable netassets acquired over the cost of acquisition.To the extent that negative goodwill relates to an expectation of future losses and expenses that areidentified in the plan of acquisition and can be measured reliably, but which have not yet beenrecognised, it is recognised in the profit and loss account when the future losses and expenses arerecognised. Any remaining negative goodwill, but not exceeding the fair values of the non-monetaryassets acquired, is recognised in the profit and loss account over the weighted average useful life ofthose assets that are depreciable or amortisable.

In situations where it can be clearly demonstratedthat the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to beobtained from the use of an item of fixed assets beyond its originally assessed standard of performance,the expenditures are capitalised as an additional cost of fixed assets.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002and its Subsidiary Companies46Notes to the Financial Statements2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)(i) Fixed assets (cont’d)When an asset is revalued, any increase in the carrying amount is credited directly to revaluationreserve unless it reverses a previous revaluation decrease relating to the same asset, which waspreviously recognised as an expense. In these circumstances the increase is recognised as income tothe extent of the previous write down. When an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of arevaluation, the decrease is recognised as an expense unless it reverses a previous surplus relating tothat asset, in which case it is charged against any related revaluation surplus, to the extent that thedecrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation surplus in respect of that same asset.Any balance remaining in the revaluation surplus in respect of an asset, is transferred directly toaccumulated profits on retirement or disposal of the asset.DepreciationDepreciation is calculated on the straight line method to write off the cost of fixed assets over theirestimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are as follows :-Leasehold building - 30 yearsFreehold buildings - 50 yearsOther fixed assets - 3 - 5 yearsNo depreciation is provided on freehold land.Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and nofurther charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets.The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method andperiod of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the use offixed assets. An assessment of the carrying value of fixed assets is made when there are indicationsthat the assets have been impaired or the impairment losses recognised in prior years no longerexist.(j)Stocks and work-in-progressStocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work-in-progress is stated at cost lessany foreseeable losses. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value representsthe estimated selling price less anticipated cost of disposal and after making allowance for damaged,obsolete and slow-moving items.(k)Trade and other debtorsTrade debtors, which generally have 30 - 160 day terms, are recognised and carried at originalinvoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts ismade when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.Amounts due from related parties are recognised and carried at cost, less an allowance for anyuncollectible amounts.

Notes to the Financial Statements2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)(l) Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highlyliquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk ofchanges in value. Cash and bank balances and short-term deposits which are held to maturity arecarried at cost.Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002and its Subsidiary Companies47For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash and bank balances and fixed deposits.The Group has changed the composition of cash and cash equivalents in the current year to excludebank overdrafts to provide a more meaningful analysis of the Group’s cash flow position. Bankoverdrafts have been reclassified in the cash flow statement as a financing activity as the amounts donot fluctuate significantly compared to prior years.Comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation.(m)Trade and other creditorsLiabilities for trade and other amounts payable which are normally settled on 30-90 day terms, arecarried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods andservices rendered, whether or not billed to the Company.Amounts due to related parties are carried at cost.(n)Loans and borrowingsAll loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the considerationreceived and including acquisition charges associated with the borrowing/loan.(o)Employee benefitsAccrued employee benefitEmployee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provisionis made for the estimated liability for leave as a result of services rendered by employees up tobalance sheet date.Defined contribution planThe Group’s companies make contributions to independently administered defined contribution pensionschemes. Defined contributions are recognised as compensation expense in the same period as theemployment that gives rise to the contribution.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002and its Subsidiary Companies48Notes to the Financial Statements2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)(p) Deferred income taxDeferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at thebalance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts forfinancial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax ratesexpected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expectedto be recovered or settled based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheetdate.Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences associated with investmentsin subsidiary companies, associated companies and interests in joint ventures, except where thetiming of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporarydifference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.At each balance sheet date, the Group re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets and the carryingamount of deferred tax assets. The Group recognises a previously unrecognised deferred tax assetto the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assetto be recovered. The Group conversely reduces the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to theextent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefitof part or all of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unusedtax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unusedtax losses can be utilised.Current tax and deferred tax are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items thatare credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity.(q)LeasesFinance leasesFinance leases, which effectively transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidentalto ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease paymentsat the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased fixed assets. Lease payments are apportionedbetween the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate ofinterest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.Operating leasesLeases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of theleased term, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expensein the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Notes to the Financial Statements2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)(r) Revenue recognitionRevenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theGroup and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must alsobe met before revenue is recognised:Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002and its Subsidiary Companies49i) Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the passage of title to the customer, whichgenerally coincides with their delivery and acceptance.ii)Revenues from the provision of service and maintenance, technical and consultancy and designand engineering services are recognised upon performance of the services to the customer.iii)iv)(v)Rental income from rental of leasehold building space is recognised based on the period of rentalduring the financial year.Revenue from royalties is recognised upon external sales made by the Group’s strategic alliancepartners.Revenue from commissions is recognised upon external sales made by the Group’s agencyprincipals.(vi) Dividend income is recognised in the profit and loss account of the Company as and whendeclared by subsidiary companies up to the end of the financial year. Dividend income fromunquoted investments is recognised upon receipt.(vii) Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues on a day-to-day basis, unless collectibility isin doubt.(s)Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.(t)Foreign currency transactionsForeign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchangerate at the date of transaction.At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the rate on that dateand non-monetary items are carried and reported using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items atrates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or reported in theprevious financial statements are recognised as income or expenses in the year in which they arise.For inclusion in the consolidated financial statements, all assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiarycompanies are translated into Singapore dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheetdate and the results of foreign subsidiary companies are translated into Singapore dollars at theweighted average exchange rates. Exchange differences due to such currency translations are includedin the foreign currency translation reserve.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002and its Subsidiary Companies50Notes to the Financial Statements2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)(u) Derivative financial instrumentsThe Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to hedgeits risks associated primarily with foreign currency fluctuations. Details of the Group’s financial riskmanagement objective and policies are set out in Note 35.The derivative financial instruments are not recognised on the balance sheet. The gains or lossesrelating to derivative financial instruments are taken directly to the profit and loss account when theforward contracts are realised.(v)Impairment of assetsThe carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determinewhether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverableamount is estimated.An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generatingunit exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of assets carried at revaluedamount is recognised in the same way as a revaluation decrease. All other impairment losses arerecognised in the profit and loss account.Reversal of impairment lossAn impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine therecoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carryingamount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciationor amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss inrespect of assets carried at revalued amount is recognised in the same way as a revaluation increase.All other reversals of impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Notes to the Financial Statements35. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFinancial risksThe Group’s exposure to risks as defined in SAS 32 Financial Instruments : Disclosure and Presentation,arising from the Group’s financial instruments are summarised below :Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002and its Subsidiary Companies69Interest rate riskThe Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the Group’s long-term receivablesand long-term debt obligations. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge itsexposure to interest rate fluctuations. However, it is the Group’s policy to obtain the most favourableinterest rates available whenever the Group obtains additional financing through bank borrowings or leasingarrangements.The Group’s other financial instruments are short-term in nature. Carrying amounts of these financialinstruments reported on the balance sheet approximate their fair values, hence there is no interest rate riskexposure in relation to these instruments.Foreign currency riskThe Group incurs foreign currency risk on its multi-currency transactions. In addition to this, the Group isalso exposed to foreign exchange movements on its investment in foreign subsidiary and associatedcompanies.The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to protect against the volatility associated with itsforeign currency investments. Multi-currency transactions are covered by natural hedge. The Group alsoenters into foreign exchange forward contracts on an ad-hoc basis to protect against the volatility associatedwith the excess foreign currency transactions and other financial assets and liabilities created in the ordinarycourse of business.Credit riskConcentrations of credit risk exist when changes in the economic, industry or geographic factors similarlyaffect groups of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the Group’s totalcredit exposure. As the majority of the Group’s debtors are from the petrochemical sector, this may give riseto a concentration of credit risk. It is the Group’s policy to enter into transactions with a diversity of creditworthycounterparties so as to mitigate any significant concentration of credit risk.The carrying amounts of the Group’s trade and other debtors represent the Group’s maximum exposure tocredit risk. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.Liquidity riskThe Group is not exposed to significant liquidity risk. It has surplus funds deposited with various banks andthe Group does not anticipate any problems in obtaining external funding in the foreseeable future if theneed arises.Derivative financial instrumentsThe Group does not recognise derivatives on the balance sheet. The gains or losses relating to derivativefinancial instruments are taken directly to the profit and loss account in the year when the forward contractsare realised.The Group has certain off-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments relating to foreign exchange forwardcontracts which are outstanding as of 31 December 2002. These are set out in Note 33.

Federal International (2000) Ltd AR 2002and its Subsidiary Companies70Notes to the Financial Statements35. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d)Fair valueThe carrying values of the Group’s current financial instruments approximate their fair values due to theirshort-term nature. Long-term financial instruments are carried at cost. It is not practicable to determine thefair value of the long-term receivables and payables as a result of the inability to estimate the repaymentstreams reliably.Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and based on relevant market information about thefinancial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significantjudgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantlyaffect the estimates.36.
