The brand identity of NTUC Unity Healthcare is framed by the trademark National
Trades Union Congress “U”. It signifies the co-operative’s close and strong relationship
with the labour movement. Our brand is symbolised by the logo, which captures our
brand essence “Care for Life”. It brings together three distinct visual elements: the hand,
the heart and the Labour Movement ‘U’.
The hand extending from the Labour Movement ‘U’ symbolises the role NTUC plays in providing
care, support and guidance to promote a healthy lifestyle for all. The heart is a reflection of love,
good health and passion for life. It represents the warmth of human nature and the passion that
drives our commitment to promoting wider well-being in the community. The logo portrays a hand
nurturing the heart and also releasing it, representing both the protection of life and freedom that
healthy living offers to people of all ages.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Ms Tan Hwee Bin Chairman
The past year has been an eventful one for the company.
Despite the challenging business environment, we have
stayed the course to provide quality and affordable healthcare
products and services to better support working families and
their dependents.
ENSURING GREATER ACCESS TO OUR
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
We opened eight new Unity pharmacy outlets in the
heartlands, at key locations such as Kallang Bahru, Toa Payoh
MRT Station, Westgate and Vista Point. These new stores were
designed with our customers in mind; with simplified product
display, wider aisles for ease of access and a brighter ambience.
Unity Denticare opened two new dental clinics in Yishun
and Hougang where we did not have any presence, to
bring quality and affordable dental services to the residents
there. Weekday evening and Sunday clinic sessions were also
introduced at selected clinics to bring greater convenience to
our customers.
4
To make health food more accessible, our Origins housebrand
products with the familiar green packaging, can now be found
beyond our Unity stores, in most of the major supermarkets
across the island.
ENSURING GREATER AFFORDABILITY
In line with our mission to empower our customers to care for
their health and wellness, we launched our Unity housebrand
of junior supplements following the introduction of Unity
adult supplements in 2012. These housebrand supplements
are, on average, 20% cheaper than equivalent national brands.
We also worked to support our community by providing free
health and dental screenings, as well as subsidised oral care.
Denticare partnered NTUC U Live - a community for active
seniors aged 55 years and above – to provide free dental
screenings, and subsidised scaling and polishing services to
their members in July 2013. To help taxi drivers who are
self-employed and do not enjoy corporate dental benefits,
Denticare partnered the National Taxi Association to provide
free dental screening to their members. One hundred taxi
drivers took advantage of the offer and received free dental
checks. They also enjoyed preferential rates for dental
treatments at all Unity Denticare clinics.
CARING FROM THE HEART
OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
In line with our value of Care, our staff initiated a donation
drive to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
To align with our holding entity NTUC Enterprise Co-operative
Ltd, we have changed our financial year end from March
to December with effect from 2013. For the nine-month
period between April and December 2013, the Group
achieved a revenue of $85m and profit before contribution,
tax and dividend of $2.1m.
Closer to home, Unity was quick to ensure that members of
the public were able to purchase N95 masks at affordable
prices during the haze crisis that hit Singapore in June 2013.
During the crisis, we worked closely with both existing and
new suppliers to bring in more masks to quickly replenish the
stock of N95 masks at our stores. We took leadership to lower
the price of our N95 masks to make them affordable and to
combat profiteering.
In view of the Group’s performance and our long-term growth
prospects, the Board has recommended a final dividend of
2.5 cents per share for the financial year, subject to approval
at the Annual General Meeting.
LOOKING AHEAD
OUR GRATITUDE
We are excited about the way ahead.
I would like to express my thanks to our shareholders,
customers and business partners for their strong support
and confidence in the Group. I would also like to take the
opportunity to express my appreciation to the Board members
for their valuable contribution, and to the management and
staff for their hard work and dedication.
One of our priorities is to quickly grow the presence of NTUC
Unity outlets island-wide to better serve our customers. We
target to open more Unity stores and Denticare clinics by the
end of 2014. We have also opened our first Family Medicine
Clinic in March 2014 at Serangoon Central to bring one-stop
healthcare services closer to the community.
Over the next few years, the healthcare and eldercare sectors
will become increasingly important as Singapore faces
an aging population. As part of our plan to create greater
social impact, we embarked on the integration of NTUC
Unity Healthcare and NTUC Eldercare in June 2013, and
will complete this process in 2014. The integration into an
enlarged entity, combining the resources and expertise of
both teams, will enable us to deliver more comprehensive
and holistic health and eldercare services to better meet the
needs ahead.

organisations to reach a wider community in order to fulfill our mission

Unity Housebrand
NTUC UNITY
YOUR PARTNER IN HEALTH
NTUC Unity, a division of NTUC Unity Healthcare, was
established in 1992 with the mission of supporting the wellbeing of everyone at all stages of their life.
At NTUC Unity, we make sure that our customers are always
attended to by professional pharmacists. Customers are
encouraged to ask these trusted medication experts about
their health-related issues. Through this, we empower our
customers and patients to take charge of their health. In
addition, our staff are rigorously trained to dispense high
quality healthcare product information. Coupled with highly
competitive prices, we provide a conducive environment
for customers to consider adopting a regime of health
supplements and self-medication.
NTUC Unity first launched a range of daily essential vitamins
and supplements under its own “Unity”brand name in 2012.
The idea behind the creating of the NTUC Unity house brand
is to provide working families with an affordable way to care
for the entire family, both young and old.
10
In due course, we plan to have some 100 “Unity” products in
the range, which will include over-the-counter medicines, first
aid kits, and skin and body care products.
To meet the growing healthcare needs of the community,
we launched our new house brand of junior supplements at
prices that are 20% lower than national brands.
Targeted at children aged between two and 12 years old, the
range offers eight products, including chewable multivitamins,
omega 3 fish oil, cod liver oil, Vitamin C and calcium, which
together provide support for a healthy immune system and
build strong bones and teeth. Most of the supplements are
chewable with a fruity taste that young children will love.
In addition, to ensure our customers enjoy easy access to our
stores, we continued our expansion programme with the
opening of eight new outlets in 2013, making it a total of 56
stores at the end of 2013.
ORIGINS HEALTHCARE
Origins Healthcare is a wholesaler
and distributor of natural and organic
products and health publications.
It aims to offer healthy wholesome
foods at affordable prices to the
community through a comprehensive
distribution network comprising NTUC
FairPrice supermarkets, Unity pharmacies and hospitals.
Currently Origins is Singapore’s number 1 natural whole food
distributor with the largest range of organic and natural
whole foods imported from US, UK, Australia, New Zealand
and Europe.
In 2013, we added the Sheng Siong supermarket chain to
the distribution network, which enlarges significantly the
market presence of the brand. In addition, the company
set up Origins Hampers & Florists to provide hampers and
floral arrangements for all occasions. Origins products can be
purchased online via its website.

NTUC UNITY DENTICARE
YOUR PARTNER IN DENTAL CARE
Established in 1971, Unity Denticare has the mission to be
the dental care partner of choice in the community for every
individual and family.
Unity Denticare offers the public a comprehensive network
of 15 dental clinics located across Singapore that are staffed
by over 100 highly trained and committed dentists and
specialists. By 2015, Unity Denticare is primed to expand its
network to 20 clinics.
Every clinic provides a comprehensive range of general and
preventive, restorative and aesthetic dental services.
As part of its commitment to excellence, Unity Denticare
appointed an advisory board in 2013 to provide advice and
support to its dentists and staffs. The advisory board is made
up of five highly respected and experienced dentists who
have been with Unity Denticare for more than 10 years: Dr
Ashley Lim, Dr Colin Ong, Dr Pong Mei Yee, Dr Tiju Krishnan
and Dr Toh Kwai Mui.
12
We have also worked to improve our service to our
customers by replacing our existing circuit-switched
telephone system to IP system. The new system allows calls
to be transferred from the clinics to our call centre when
the clinics are engaged. This ensures all calls are attended
to. The system also reduces operational cost as Internet
calls are cheaper. In addition, we now allow our patients
to book their appointments online via our website at their
own convenience.
At Unity Denticare, our experience and specialisations,
combined with advanced technology, make for the
highest standards in dental care. Our focus is on helping
our patients improve their quality of life through better
dental health.
13
All the staff at Unity
Hougang One have great
hospitality, are customer
oriented and friendly. They
make my shopping at Unity a
wonderful experience.
Ms Geraldine Goh
NTUC UNITY HEALTHCARE
ENRICHING OUR PEOPLE
My mum and I visited Unity
Denticare at Golden Shoe.
I am very impressed with
Dr Chan Shook Keng’s
professionalism and patience.
She is detailed and does no shoddy
job like other doctors.
Mdm Chan Poh Kheng
At NTUC Unity Healthcare, we embrace fully the core
value of caring for our people and our customers.
We congratulate Senior Retail Supervisor Judy Tan
and Pharmacy Assistant Rena Ong on winning
the Excellent Service Award (Silver Award).
Organised by the Singapore Retailers Association,
this prestigious award recognises individuals who
deliver quality service in the course of their work.
We are also very proud of the exemplary leadership
skills and dedication of Sean Ang, who was
awarded the Young Executive of the Year Award
by the Singapore Retailers Association.
We encourage our staff to scale new heights in
service quality and to carry out their duties with
passion. As our store number grows, we are
pleased that our staff have grown with us and
we are proud of them for achieving national
recognition as service role models.
14
Important as our goal of being a healthcare partner of the
community is, we place as much importance on being a
partner for our staff in their pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
One of the ways we do this is to deliver a pack of mixed
fruits to every one of our staff bi-monthly in a programme
we call Fruits Week. With this, we hope to encourage our staff
to harness the goodness of fruits and vegetables for a healthier
mind and body, and steer them towards adopting the 2+2 (2
servings of fruits and vegetables daily) recommendation laid
down by the Health Promotion Board.
In line with our belief in the revitalising benefits of short
breaks, we frequently organise short getaways for our staff.
Some of our past getaways include 3-day-2-night cruises and
a day trip to Desaru.
To support our people in their effort to keep fit, we launched
Keep Fit Day which is held one Friday evening every month.
This event sees our staff and management bond over activities
ranging from badminton and brisk walking to paintball games.
In addition, we hold lunchtime talks once every two months
on physical wellbeing and work-life balance to empower them
to realise a better lifestyle. These talks cover topics ranging
from stress management and food therapy to balancing work
and life, with lunch catered for the participants.
15
OUR COMMUNITY
GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
We also sponsored 69 seniors from five NTUC Eldercare Silver
ACE Senior Activity Centres (at Henderson, Lengkok Bahru,
Redhill, Taman Jurong and Telok Blangah), providing them
with a one-year supply of Unity House brand supplements.
Their supplement needs were assessed after health screening
conducted by NTUC Unity pharmacists.
Our collaboration with NTUC Eldercare also saw us embark
on a scheme where volunteers accompany the less privileged
seniors for dental treatment at Unity Denticare clinics at
highly preferential rates. Instead of paying the usual fee of
$63.50 for basic scaling and polishing, for example, these
seniors pay not more than $2 each at Unity Denticare. This
initiative allows this group of elderly to take better care of
their dental health.
This year, we continue to live our mission to care for the
community with a passion.
Every quarter, NTUC Unity pharmacists visit five NTUC
Eldercare Silver ACE Senior Activity Centres to conduct free
health checks for the elderly. The health check includes
monitoring of basic health indicators such as blood pressure,
body weight and glucose level to detect early signs of illness
and identify conditions that need to be attended to in a timely
manner. Since we began the programme in 2013, more than
300 elderly have benefitted from the health checks.
In addition, we have set up self-help health check stations
in these centres so that elderly in and around the vicinity of
these centres can have access to regular health monitoring.
More than 1,200 elderly are expected to benefit from this.
16
Further, to help seniors in the wider community cope with
healthcare costs, we offer seniors a 5% discount on regular
priced items in all our outlets islandwide every Tuesday.
Seniors also enjoy a 10% discount on basic dental services
at all Unity Denticare clinics. This helps make dental services
more affordable to seniors, especially for those who require
costly dental treatments such as getting a new set of dentures.
Since October 2012, NTUC Unity has joined hands with the
Agency for Integrated Care on their Community Health Assist
Scheme (CHAS) to allow CHAS members to enjoy a 5%
discount on all regular priced items at NTUC Unity pharmacies.
This initiative aims to make healthcare more affordable for
Singaporeans from lower income families. CHAS members
also will enjoy discounted specialised oral care at all Unity
Denticare clinics. On average, patients will pay less than $10
at Unity Denticare with the CHAS subsidy. This helps greatly
to defray their dental costs. Over 540,000 CHAS members are
expected to benefit from this partnership.
Another new initiative, the Sweet Spot Programme, was
launched in 2012 to reach out to diabetic patients to help
them better manage their conditions. A collaboration
between NTUC Unity and the National University of
Singapore’s Department of Pharmacy, this community
pharmacist-led clinical service allows our pharmacists to see
to the needs of older diabetic adults, who are unable to see
their doctors regularly due to mobility issues or who have
difficulty accessing the healthcare system, and so are unable
to effectively manage their conditions.
In a typical session, NTUC Unity pharmacists check for
medication adherence, effectiveness of the drug therapy and
identification of medication related problems. The pharmacists
also go through blood sugar readings with patients, and help
them identify the factors that cause the blood sugar level to
spike too high or dive too low. The pharmacists then provide
advice related to diet and exercise to help patients manage
their conditions better. The focus is on patient empowerment
and medication adherence. To date, about 100 diabetic
patients have gone through the programme and have seen
significant improvement in their conditions.
What better way to be a
family pharmacy by having our
professionals aid in managing and
providing lifestyle advice, especially on
the 3 major chronic illnesses!
Sweet Spot will be a game changer in the
pharmacy profession and I was given the
honour of helping to plan and work on
it since 2010. I would like to thank the
management for giving my team and
I the chance to be part of the
Sweet Spot team that will change the
face of pharmacy in time to come!

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
NTUC UNITY HEALTHCARE CO-OPERATIVE LIMITED
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of NTUC Unity Healthcare Co-operative Limited (the “Co-operative”)
and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Co-operative
as at 31 December 2013, the statements of comprehensive income and statements of changes in equity of the Group and of
the Co-operative and statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial period from 1 April 2013 to 31 December 2013,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the
provisions of the Singapore Co-operative Societies Act, Chapter 62 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards,
and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that
they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to
maintain accountability of assets.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD FROM 1 APRIL 2013 TO 31 DECEMBER 2013
These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.
1.
General corporate information
NTUC Unity Healthcare Co-operative Limited (the “Co-operative”) is a co-operative registered and domiciled in the
Republic of Singapore. The Co-operative’s registered office address and principal place of business is at 55 Ubi Avenue
1, #08-01, Singapore 408935. The Co-operative’s registration number is S92CS0208D.
The Co-operative is a subsidiary of NTUC Enterprise Co-operative Limited (“NTUC Enterprise”). NTUC Enterprise is a
co-operative registered in Singapore, which is the Co-operative’s immediate and ultimate holding entity.
The principal activities of the Co-operative are those relating to retail pharmacy, provisions of dental services and dental
care facilities to members and the public, and investment holding.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are set out in Note 7 to the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Co-operative and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) and the statement of
financial position, statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity of the Co-operative for
the financial period from 1 April 2013 to 31 December 2013 were authorised for issue in accordance with a Directors’
resolution dated 28 April 2014.
2.Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Co-operative Societies Act,
Chapter 62 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) including related Interpretations
of FRS (“INT FRS”). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as
disclosed in the accounting policies below.
Although the Group’s and the Co-operative’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $540,380 and
$4,446,446 respectively as at 31 December 2013, the financial statements have been prepared on the basis
that the Group and Co-operative are going concern as the net current liabilities position is due mainly to the
share capital repayable on demand. In the opinion of the Directors, based on past experience, the share capital,
although repayable on demand will not be substantially redeemed in the next twelve months.
Items included in the individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financial
statements of the Group and of the Co-operative are measured and presented in Singapore dollar, which is the
functional currency of the Co-operative.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty used that are significant to the financial
statements are disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements.

FRS 110 replaces the control assessment criteria and consolidation requirements currently in FRS 27 and INT
FRS 12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. FRS 110 defines the principle of control and establishes a
new control model as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial
statements. FRS 27 remains as a standard applicable only to separate financial statements. On adoption of FRS
110 management will be required to exercise more judgement than under the current requirements of FRS 27 in
order to determine which entities are controlled by the Group. These changes will take effect from the financial
year beginning on 1 January 2014 with full retrospective application.
Management is currently in the process of determining the impact on the Group, but does not expect that there
will be any changes to the entities being consolidated by the Group.
FRS 112 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities
FRS 112 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other
entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.
FRS 112 requires an entity to disclose information that helps users of its financial statements to evaluate the
nature and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial
statements. The Group is currently determining the impact of the disclosure requirements. As this is a disclosure
standard, it will have no impact to the financial position and financial performance of the Group upon adoption
of this standard from the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
2.2Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Co-operative and its subsidiaries
made up to the end of the financial year. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same
reporting date as that of the parent.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted
by the Group to ensure consistency.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the effective date
on which that control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, inter-company transactions,
balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment loss of the asset transferred.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling
interest in the acquiree may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’
proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is
made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling
interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of
subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this
results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
2.2Basis of consolidation (Continued)
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity
transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to
reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which
the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised
directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference
between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained
interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary
and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to
the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to accumulated profits)
in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of
any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on
initial recognition for subsequent accounting under FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.
Business combinations from 1 April 2010
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is
measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or
assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisitionrelated costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition
under FRS 103 are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or
disposal groups) that are classified as held-for-sale in accordance with FRS 105 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale
and Discontinued Operations, which are recognised and measured at the lower of cost and fair value less costs
to sell.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity
are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting
gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the
acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or
loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition
under FRS 103 are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
•
deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are
recognised and measured in accordance with FRS 12 Income Taxes and FRS 19 Employee Benefits
respectively;
•
liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree’s share-based
payment awards are measured in accordance with FRS 102 Share-based Payment; and

·
•
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with FRS 105 Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the
combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete.
Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or
liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of
the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.
The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete
information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, and is subject to a maximum
of one year.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset at the acquisition date and initially measured at cost,
being the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer previously held equity interest (if any) in the entity over net acquisitiondate fair value amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds
the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair
value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately
in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Business combinations before 1 April 2010
In comparison to the above mentioned requirements, the following differences applied:
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Transaction costs directly attributable
to the acquisition formed part of the acquisition costs. The non-controlling interest (formerly known as minority
interest) was measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Adjustments to those fair values
relating to previously held interests are treated as a revaluation and recognised in equity.
When the Group acquired a business, embedded derivatives separated from the host contract by the acquiree
are not reassessed on acquisition unless the business combination results in a change in the terms of the contract
that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required under the contract.

Business combinations before 1 April 2010 (Continued)
Contingent consideration was recognised if, and only if, the Group had a present obligation, the economic
outflow was probable and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent measurements to the contingent
consideration affected goodwill.
Business combinations involving entities under common control
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by applying the pooling of
interest method which involves the following:
•
•
•
•
•
2.4Cash and cash equivalents
the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts;
no adjustments are made to reflect the fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities;
no goodwill is recognised as a result of the combination;
any difference between the consideration paid/transferred and the equity ‘acquired’ is reflected within
the equity as merger reserve; and
comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined since the date the entities had
come under common control
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions. Cash
and cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Financial instruments
2.5
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statements of financial position when the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and
allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees on points paid or received that
form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through
the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount
of the financial instrument. Income and expense are recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments
other than those financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss (“FVTPL”), held for maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
The classification depends on the nature and purpose for which these financial assets were acquired and is
determined at the time of initial recognition. As at the financial year end, there are only financial assets classified
as loan and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

Financial instruments (Continued)
Financial assets (Continued)
Loans and receivables
Non-derivative financial assets which have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost, using the
effective interest method, less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except
for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
The Group’s loans and receivables in the statements of financial position comprise trade and other receivables
and cash and cash equivalents.
Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS)
Certain investment held by the Group are classified as AFS if they are not classified in any of the other categories.
Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in the available-for-sale reserve, with the exception of impairment
losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses which are
recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative
gain or loss previously recognised in the available-for-sale reserve is included in profit or loss for the period.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any
impairment loss.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each financial year.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that the estimated future cash flows of the
investment have been impacted.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective
interest rate.
The carrying amounts of all financial assets are reduced by the impairment loss directly with the exception of
trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in
the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the
impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment
loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the
carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised
cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment
loss is recognised directly in equity, except for impairment losses on equity instruments at cost which are not
reversed.

Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to
another entity.
On derecognition, any difference between the carrying amount and the sum of proceeds received and amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by Group are classified according to the substance of the
contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting
all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. The Group
classifies ordinary shares as equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial
liabilities. As at the financial year end, there are only financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities.
Other financial liabilities
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables, excluding deferred revenue and advance billings, are initially measured at fair value,
net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, where applicable, using the effective
interest method.
Share capital repayable on demand
Ordinary shares issued by the Co-operative which are repayable on demand as they are redeemable at the option
of the shareholders are initially recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Dividends paid to the shareholders are recognised in profit or loss as finance costs.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged,
cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid is recognised
in profit or loss.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
2.6Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other
costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price at which the inventories can be realised in the normal course of
business less estimated costs of completion and costs incurred in marketing and distribution. When necessary,
allowance is made for obsolete, slow-moving and defective inventories to adjust the carrying value of those
inventories to the lower of cost and net realisable value.
2.7Subsidiary
A subsidiary is an entity (including special purposes entity) over which the Group has power to govern the financial
and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The
existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when
assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
The investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Co-operative’s
separate financial statements.
Property, plant and equipment
2.8
Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.
The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of
the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of property, plant and
equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring
or using the property, plant and equipment.

2.8
Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
Subsequent expenditure relating to the property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added
to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that the future economic benefits, in excess of standard
of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will flow to the Group and the Co-operative,
and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense during the
financial year in which it is incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method so as to allocate the depreciable amounts of the
property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Freehold property
Leasehold building
Leasehold properties
Dental equipment
Medical equipment
Furniture and fittings
Computer and office equipment
Computer software
Motor vehicles

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate,
at the end of each financial year.
Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.
The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as
the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or
loss. Any amount in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset is transferred to retained earnings directly.
Investment properties
2.9
Investment properties, which are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation are initially
recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is charged using the straight-line method, so as to write off the cost over their estimated useful
lives of 50 years. The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method of investment properties are reviewed
and adjusted as appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any revision is included in profit
or loss when the changes arise.
Investment properties are subject to renovations or improvements at regular intervals. The costs of major
renovations and improvements are capitalised as additions and the carrying amounts of the replaced components
are written off to profit or loss. The costs of maintenance, repairs and minor improvement are charged to profit
or loss when incurred.

2.9
Investment properties (Continued)
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment
properties are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.
Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss in the
financial year of retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to or from investment properties only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from
investment properties to owner occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value
at the date of change in use. For a transfer from owner occupied property to investment properties, the property
is accounted for in accordance with FRS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, up to the date of change in use.
2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each financial year, the Group and the Co-operative review the carrying amounts of its tangible
and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment
loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the
extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual
asset, the Group and the Co-operative estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which
the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and
its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which
case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or
loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss
is treated as a revaluation increase.
2.11Provision
Provision is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event,
it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the
obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its
carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

2.11Provision (Continued)
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a
third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and
the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Changes in the estimated timing or amount of the expenditure or discount rate are recognised in profit or loss
when the changes arise.
2.12 Deferred income
2.13Dividends
Grants which relate to the purchase or the subsidy for the purchase of specific assets and/or capital expenditures
are recognised initially at fair value as deferred income when there is reasonable assurance that they will be
received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant. These grants are then
recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim dividends are recorded in the financial
year in which they are declared payable. Final dividends are recognised as a liability in the financial year in which
the dividends are approved by the members.
2.14Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and
services rendered in the ordinary course of business. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that
the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is presented,
net of rebates and discounts and sales related taxes.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon passage of title to the customer which coincides with the delivery
and acceptance, the significant risks and rewards of ownership has been transferred to customer, recovery of the
consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised as and when the services are completed.
Rental income under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease.
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established.
Interest income is recognised on a time-apportionment basis using the effective interest method.
Advertising income comprises display income and trading term rebate from suppliers. Display income is recognised
on straight-line basis over the duration of display. Trading term rebate is recognised when the entitlement to the
rebate is established.

Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expenses in profit or loss in the same financial year
as the employment that gives rise to the contributions.
Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual is made for
the estimated liability for unutilised annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of
the reporting period.
2.16Leases
When the Group and the Co-operative are the lessors of operating leases
Leases where the Group and the Co-operative retains substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the
ownership are classified as operating leases.
Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment properties.
Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised in profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
When the Group and the Co-operative are the lessees of operating leases
Leases of assets in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor
are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the
lessor) are recognised in 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 financial year in which termination takes place.
2.17 Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Where the grants relate to expenditures, which are
not capitalised, the fair value of grants are credited to profit or loss as and when the underlying expenses are
included and recognised in profit or loss to match such related expenditures.
Operating and outright grant

Operating and outright grant is recognised upon approval of grant amount by Eldercare Trust. It is recognised as
income to defray the costs incurred in operating the day care programmes.

2.18Taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current income tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the financial year. Taxable profit differs from profit as
reported in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other
years and it further excludes items that are not taxable or tax deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax
is calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
financial year.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for
using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be
available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination)
of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset
to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or
the asset realised based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items
charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the
Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to
items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognised directly in equity.
Sales tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:
•
when the sales tax that is incurred on purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the tax
authorities, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of cost of acquisition of the asset or as part
of the expense item as applicable; and
•
receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.

2.19 Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency
(“foreign currencies”) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transactions. At the
end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates
prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated
in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on re-translating of monetary items are
recognised in profit or loss for the financial year. Exchange differences arising on the re-translation of nonmonetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the financial year except for differences
arising on the re-translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other
comprehensive income. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also
recognised in other comprehensive income.
3.Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s and the Co-operative’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, management
made judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that were not readily
apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions were based on historical experience and other
factors that were considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the
revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
3.1Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that management
has made in the process of applying the Group’s and the Co-operative’s accounting policies and that have the
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
(i)
46
Impairment of investments in subsidiaries and financial assets
The Group and the Co-operative follow the guidance of FRS 36 and FRS 39 in determining whether an
investment or a financial asset is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. The Group
and the Co-operative evaluate, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of
an investment or a financial asset is less than its cost, and the financial health of and near-term business
outlook for the investment or financial asset, including factors such as industry and sector performance,
changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

3.Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued)
3.2
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the
reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses within the next financial year are discussed
below.
(i)
Allowance for doubtful receivables
The management establishes allowance for doubtful receivables on a case-by-case basis when they
believe that payment of amounts owed is unlikely to occur. In establishing these allowances, the
management considers its historical experience and changes to its customers’ financial position. If the
financial conditions of receivables were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make the
required payments, additional allowances may be required. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the
Co-operative’s trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2013 were $10,986,246 (31 March 2013:
$5,514,862) and $8,171,454 (31 March 2013: $6,387,846) respectively.
Allowance for inventory obsolescence
(ii)
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The management primarily determines
cost of inventories using the weighted average method. The management estimates the net realisable
value of inventories based on assessment of receipt or committed sales price and provide for excess
and obsolete inventories based on historical usage, estimated future demand and related pricing. In
determining excess quantities, the management considers recent sales activities, related margin and
market positioning of its products. However, factors beyond its control, such as demand levels, could
change from period to period. Such factors may require the Group and the Co-operative to reduce the
value of their inventories. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the Co-operative’s inventories as
at 31 December 2013 were $16,668,468 (31 March 2013: $13,895,669) and $15,266,023 (31 March
2013: $12,815,145) respectively.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and investment properties
(iii)
Property, plant and equipment and investment properties are depreciated on a straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives. The management estimates the useful lives of these assets to be within 2
to 50 years. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the Co-operative’s property, plant and equipment
as at 31 December 2013 were $16,062,562 (31 March 2013: $12,338,272) and $13,022,715 (31
March 2013: $12,289,144) respectively. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the Co-operative’s
investment properties were $7,902,903 (31 March 2013: $8,079,281) and $7,902,903 (31 March 2013:
$8,079,281) respectively. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could
impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation
charges could be revised.

3.2
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued)
(iv)
Income taxes
The Group recognises expected liabilities for income tax based on estimation of the likely taxes due, which
requires significant judgement as to the ultimate tax determination of certain items. Where the final tax
outcome of these matters differs from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will
impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions, in the period in which such determination is made.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s current income tax payable and deferred tax liabilities as at 31
December 2013 were $251,831 (31 March 2013: $200,306) and $1,988 (31 March 2013: $1,988).
(v)
Provision
Provision for reinstatement costs refers to costs required to reinstate its office premise and retail outlets
to its original state according to the terms and conditions of the respective tenancy agreements. The
calculation requires the management to estimate the expected future cash outflows as a result of site
restoration and review the estimates used on an annual basis to reflect current market assessments with
reference to the area of the rented space. Due to the nature of such provisions, estimates are subject to
significant uncertainty.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the Co-operative’s provision for reinstatement costs as at
31 December 2013 were $1,020,000 (31 March 2013: $900,000) and $1,020,000 (31 March 2013:
$900,000) respectively.

As the unquoted investments do not have quoted market prices in an active market and there are no other available
methods to reasonably estimate the fair values, it is not practicable to determine the fair values of the unquoted
investments with sufficient reliability and these are stated at cost less impairment loss, if any.
Quoted equity investment has no fixed maturity date nor coupon rate. The fair value of this investment is based on
closing quoted market prices on the last market day of the financial period/year.
Quoted equity and other unquoted equity investments carried at fair values, offer the Group the opportunity for return
through dividend income and fair value gains. The fair values of these securities are either based on closing quoted
market prices on the last market day of the financial period/year or estimated by reference to the current valuation
provided by the custodian banks as at 31 December 2013. There have no fixed maturity date nor coupon rate.

16.Community Silver Trust
The Community Silver Trust (“CST”) is a scheme whereby the government will provide a matching grant of one dollar
for every donation dollar raised by eligible organisations. The objectives are to encourage more donations and provide
additional resources for the service providers in the Intermediate and Long Term Care (“ILTC”) sector and to enhance
capabilities and provide value-added services to achieve affordable and higher quality care. Donations received for ILTC
programs are eligible for this grant.
17.Building Fund
The building fund was set up to fund the development and building costs of day care and senior activity centres, to fund
the repair, renovations and maintenance costs of all properties of the Co-operative and to fund the purchase of fixed
assets in the form of depreciation.
Pursuant to the directors’ resolution passed by NTUC Eldecare Co-operative Limited on 14 May 2013, it was resolved
that the Building Fund be dissolved with the balance donated to Eldercare Trust Fund for better governance and
administration and to better serve the elderly. This was approved by the Board of Trustees of Eldercare Trust on 27
August 2013.
During this financial period, $1,597,267 was transferred to Eldercare Trust Fund and the remaining $700,000 is expected
to be transferred in the following financial year.

As at 31 December 2013, the Group has unutilised tax losses of approximately $1,338,000 (31 March 2013: $1,339,000)
and unabsorbed capital allowances of approximately $154,000 (31 March 2013: $154,000) available to offset against
future taxable profits subject to the agreement by the tax authorities and provisions of the tax legislations of Singapore.
No deferred tax assets have been recognised in respect of the unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowance of
approximately $254,000 (31 March 2013: $254,000) as the management is not confident that there will be sufficient
future taxable profits to realise these future benefits. Accordingly, these deferred tax assets have not been recognised in
the financial statements of the Group in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2.18 to the financial statements.

of $50,000 (31 March 2013: $25,000) and $25,000 (31 March 2013: $25,000) respectively towards the Central Cooperative Fund.
27.Singapore Labour Foundation
In accordance with Section 71 of the Co-operative Societies Act, Chapter 62, the Co-operative opted to contribute 20%

Financial instruments, financial risks and capital management
The Group’s and the Co-operative’s activities expose them to credit risk, market risk (including foreign currency risks
and interest rate risks), and liquidity risk. The Group’s and the Co-operative’s overall risk management strategy seek
to minimise adverse effects from the volatility of financial markets on the Group’s and the Co-operative’s financial
performance.
There has been no change to the Group’s and the Co-operative’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in
which it manages and measures the risk.
31.1Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss
to the Group and the Co-operative. The Group and the Co-operative have adopted a policy of only dealing
with creditworthy counterparties. The Group and the Co-operative perform ongoing credit evaluation of its
counterparties’ financial condition and does not require collaterals.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, grossed up for any allowances for
losses, represents the Group’s and the Co-operative’s maximum exposure to credit risk. There is no significant
concentration of credit risk with any single customer or group of customers of the total trade and other
receivables of the Group and the Co-operative as at the end of the reporting period.
The Group’s and the Co-operative’s major classes of financial assets are trade and other receivables and cash and
cash equivalents.
Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are substantially companies with good collection track
record with the Group and the Co-operative.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis (Continued)
The following table details the Group’s and the Co-operative’s sensitivity to a 5% change in Australian
dollar, New Zealand dollar and United States dollar against the respective functional currencies of the
entities within the Group. The sensitivity analysis assumes an instantaneous 5% change in the foreign
currency exchange rates from the end of the reporting period, with all other variables held constant. The
results of the model are also constrained by the fact that only monetary items, which are denominated in
Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar and United States dollar are included in the analysis. Consequentially,
reported changes in the values of some of the financial instruments impacting the results of the sensitivity
analysis are not matched with the offsetting changes in the values of certain excluded items that those
instruments are designed to finance or hedge.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
interest rates.
The Group and the Co-operative do not have significant exposure to interest-bearing financial instrument
at the end of the reporting period.
(iii)
Equity price risks
The Group and the Co-operative are exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments

rather than trading purposes. The Group and the Co-operative do not actively trade available-for-sale
investments.
Further details of these equity investments can be found in Note 8 to the financial statements.
Equity price sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end

31.3 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk in which the Group and the Co-operative encounter difficulties in meeting their
short-term obligations. Liquidity risk is managed by matching the payment and receipt cycle.
The Group and the Co-operative actively manage their operating cash flows so as to finance the Group’s and the
Co-operative’s operations. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group and the Co-operative
maintain sufficient levels of cash to meet their working capital requirement.
All financial liabilities mature in one year and are non-interest bearing.

The Group and the Co-operative manage their capital to ensure that the Group and the Co-operative are able to
continue as going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholders’ value.
The Group and the Co-operative manage their capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes

Fair value measurement
For the financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurement of the Group’s and the Co-operative’s financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities utilises market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining
fair value measurements are categorised into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation
technique utilised are (the ‘fair value hierarchy’):
-
-
-
The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant
effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognised in the period they
occur.
32.1 Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value
Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items (unadjusted)
Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs
Unobservable inputs (i.e. not derived from market data).
Except as detailed in the following table, management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets
and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair value due to
their respective short term maturity.
32.2 Assets and liability that are carried at fair value
Assets of the Group and the Co-operative carried at fair value classified by level of fair value hierarchy is as
