Grand banks yachts limited (sgx:g50) stock has shown weakness lately but financials look strong: should prospective shareholders make the leap.

Grand Banks Yachts (SGX:G50) has had a rough month with its share price down 10%. However, stock prices are usually driven by a company’s financial performance over the long term, which in this case looks quite promising. In this article, we decided to focus on Grand Banks Yachts' ROE.

Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.

View our latest analysis for Grand Banks Yachts

How To Calculate Return On Equity?

ROE can be calculated by using the formula:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Grand Banks Yachts is:

18% = S$13m ÷ S$73m (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2023).

The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. One way to conceptualize this is that for each SGD1 of shareholders' capital it has, the company made SGD0.18 in profit.

What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?

So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. Based on how much of its profits the company chooses to reinvest or "retain", we are then able to evaluate a company's future ability to generate profits. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don’t share these attributes.

A Side By Side comparison of Grand Banks Yachts' Earnings Growth And 18% ROE

To begin with, Grand Banks Yachts seems to have a respectable ROE. Further, the company's ROE compares quite favorably to the industry average of 6.3%. This certainly adds some context to Grand Banks Yachts' exceptional 30% net income growth seen over the past five years. We reckon that there could also be other factors at play here. For example, it is possible that the company's management has made some good strategic decisions, or that the company has a low payout ratio.

We then compared Grand Banks Yachts' net income growth with the industry and we're pleased to see that the company's growth figure is higher when compared with the industry which has a growth rate of 13% in the same 5-year period.

Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. By doing so, they will have an idea if the stock is headed into clear blue waters or if swampy waters await. Is Grand Banks Yachts fairly valued compared to other companies? These 3 valuation measures might help you decide.

Is Grand Banks Yachts Using Its Retained Earnings Effectively?

Grand Banks Yachts has a really low three-year median payout ratio of 20%, meaning that it has the remaining 80% left over to reinvest into its business. This suggests that the management is reinvesting most of the profits to grow the business as evidenced by the growth seen by the company.

Besides, Grand Banks Yachts has been paying dividends over a period of six years. This shows that the company is committed to sharing profits with its shareholders.

On the whole, we feel that Grand Banks Yachts' performance has been quite good. Specifically, we like that the company is reinvesting a huge chunk of its profits at a high rate of return. This of course has caused the company to see substantial growth in its earnings. If the company continues to grow its earnings the way it has, that could have a positive impact on its share price given how earnings per share influence long-term share prices. Not to forget, share price outcomes are also dependent on the potential risks a company may face. So it is important for investors to be aware of the risks involved in the business. Our risks dashboard would have the 2 risks we have identified for Grand Banks Yachts.

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER: Grand Banks Yachts has thrived for 50 years on its<br />

ability to maintain an unwavering focus on quality while adapting to the changing needs of<br />

the boating community. It is the reason our yachts have become icons around the world, and<br />

why our company has met constant challenge with continued success.<br />

This year was no different. The industry faced some considerable challenges as the overall<br />

market softened and sales for many manufacturers dropped sharply. While no boatbuilder is<br />

immune to these circumstances, Grand Banks was better positioned than most. Thanks to<br />

the new strategies, practices and people we have put in place over recent years – along with<br />

a winning slate of new products – we posted solid results again. While new changes and<br />

challenges surely await, we will meet the next 50 years as we have the last: with a passion for<br />

our boats, a sense of purpose for our business, and a relentless, unremitting focus on quality<br />

and customer satisfaction.<br />

BuiLding for the future (i)<br />

At fiscal year-end, we finalized plans for a significant reorganization among the executive<br />

management team. Not only do these moves better align key roles and responsibilities, they<br />

also mark a key milestone in the succession planning that has been discussed in previous<br />

shareholder letters. As a result, Rob Livingston will now serve as President of Grand Banks<br />

Yachts, and will assume leadership of daily operations for the Company.<br />

In his previous role as Executive Vice President, Rob was instrumental in helping guide<br />

Grand Banks through years of record sales, building new business opportunities and<br />

positioning the company for continued growth. As shareholders we are fortunate to see him<br />

bring the same commitment and expertise to this important new role.<br />

2 0 0 7 A N N UA L R E P O R T <strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>BANKS</strong> <strong>YACHTS</strong>

Other key management changes include naming Peter Poli, Grand Banks’ Chief Financial<br />

Officer, to the additional position of Executive Vice President. Y.P. Wong, longtime General<br />

Manager of Singapore Operations, will also serve in the role of Chief Engineer. And Brent<br />

Perry, who came aboard this year to lead the Company’s QA and Service divisions, will now<br />

also lead the Company’s Development Group as Vice President of Development, Quality<br />

Assurance and Service.<br />

Each of these changes reflects a considered, ongoing strategy to improve the efficiency and<br />

effectiveness of our executive management team and the departments they direct. Lastly,<br />

Mr. Gerald Minjoot has decided to step down from the Company’s Board of Directors. The<br />

Company has benefited from Mr. Minjoot’s counsel for the past twenty years and extends<br />

its gratitude for his tireless efforts.<br />

BuiLding for the future (ii)<br />

In addition to adminstrative changes, important advancements were made in our design,<br />

development and production processes. For instance, Grand Banks continues to invest in<br />

manufacturing process improvements such as resin infusion; more parts are now built using<br />

this method, to the benefit of both the Company and our customers. While this technology<br />

requires an investment in tools and training, we will do this and more to maintain our<br />

position among today’s leading boatbuilders.<br />

As a result of our ongoing drive for operational excellence, Grand Banks Malaysia (GBM)<br />

was honored this year with two significant awards. In recognition of its ongoing success and<br />

performance in export sales, Grand Banks Malaysia was given the Industry Excellence<br />

Award by the country’s Ministry of International Trade & Industry. In addition, GBM was<br />

also awarded Malaysia’s highly competitive Employer Award for <strong>2007</strong>, given to the<br />

organizations most committed to impart knowledge and train employees to the highest<br />

standards of performance. The awards are a strong testament to the outstanding work and<br />

unyielding dedication of our management and employees.<br />

new ProduCtS<br />

Product innovation continues to be a key sales driver for Grand Banks. This year saw the<br />

introduction of two important new models for Grand Banks: the 45 Eastbay SX and 47<br />

Heritage CL.<br />

The 45SX is everything owners have come to expect from the Eastbay Series: a full-featured<br />

Downeast cruiser that complements her assertive performance with stylish grace. And yet<br />

there’s never been a Grand Banks quite like it. Continuing the stylish evolution that other<br />

recent models like the 47FB and 39SX have brought to the Eastbay Series, the 45SX offers<br />

many new-to-Grand-Banks features, including a seated helm station, standard power<br />

sunroof, and a main aft salon window that disappears at your command. The result is fast,<br />

elegant and exhilarating, with all the incredible craftsmanship standard on every boat we<br />

build.<br />

The 47CL is an equally significant step forward. The classic Grand Banks tri-cabin trawler<br />

has been redesigned from the keel up, starting with a new deep-V hull designed to<br />

accommodate today’s more powerful engines. At the same time, our use of advanced,<br />

electronically controlled diesels across the model line means that owners can just as easily<br />

realize fuel efficiency while cruising at a more leisurely pace. The result is the rebirth of an<br />

icon: a new generation of the Heritage Series, and a dream fulfilled for those who seek to<br />

cruise comfortably and confidently in Grand Banks style.<br />

growing diStriBution and SuPPort<br />

Finding success in a strong, growing economy is nothing unique. Gaining sales and growing<br />

profits in the midst of a market downturn is the true test of any company worth its salt. As<br />

Grand Banks navigates the uncertain economic conditions that face our industry today,<br />

sustainability depends on a dealer network that is equally up to the challenge.

This year, we continued to grow our Authorized Dealer Network, adding new dealers in the<br />

Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast and Great Lakes regions of the U.S., as well as in Australia, New<br />

Zealand and Russia. We also launched new programs and initiatives to help them invest and<br />

adapt to meet the changing landscape. These include the introduction of Dealer Product<br />

Discovery Days, Dealer Sales Incentive programs, and the introduction of Grand Banks<br />

University, which will kick off in May <strong>2007</strong>.<br />

Concurrently, we have been steadily expanding the Company’s network of Authorized<br />

Service Centers (ASCs). In the past year, we have added new ASCs in Maine, Connecticut,<br />

Florida and other select locations thereby making progress towards reaching our goal of<br />

being able to provide top-notch service on the major cruising routes used by our customers<br />

around the world.<br />

Most of all, we will continue to work with our dealers and service partners to create superior<br />

customer experiences, ensuring their attention to quality and operational excellence matches<br />

our own.<br />

a grand tour<br />

Grand Banks began the year by embarking on a remarkable journey: a three-week, 700-mile<br />

voyage up the famed Inside Passage to Alaska. As hosts to a group of GB owners who came<br />

from across the country and around the world to join the “Grand Tour” 50th Anniversary<br />

celebration cruise, it was an extraordinary and all-too-rare opportunity to spend time on the<br />

boats that all of us work so hard to design, build and bring to market.<br />

Along the way, this group of skippers, mates, guests and crew enjoyed what many called a<br />

“life-changing experience.” The beauty, the camaraderie and the opportunity to see and<br />

experience the diverse wonders of the Inside Passage - aboard a Grand Banks, no less -<br />

made for a most extraordinary anniversary celebration.<br />

Just the kind of experience that Grand Banks owners have known and cherished for 50<br />

years.<br />

50th anniverSary MeSSage 1956 - 2006<br />

A 50-year anniversary is an opportunity most companies use to hype themselves up and<br />

cheer themselves on. On this occasion, however, we prefer to recognize something more<br />

essential than our own achievements. In the true spirit of an anniversary, we wish to celebrate<br />

an extraordinary relationship with a very significant other: the distinguished community of<br />

loyal Grand Banks owners around the world. In a business that competes hard for every last<br />

customer, we are fortunate to have a group of owners who are wonderfully passionate about<br />

our boats. Every Grand Banks we build is better thanks to the invaluable input of our<br />

owners. Each new design is the result of this unique relationship, our attempt to satisfy<br />

perhaps the most demanding and discerning boaters on the water today. To them, we say<br />

Thank You for fifty years of support.<br />

As we look forward to the next 50 years, Grand Banks is strong and well-positioned for the<br />

journey ahead. We have great products (with more exciting new developments on the<br />

horizon), fantastic people, significant financial resources, and strong momentum - all of<br />

which create a wide array of opportunities going forward. These opportunities are what<br />

inspire us, excite us, and drive each of us at Grand Banks to achieve even greater heights in<br />

the years ahead.<br />

On behalf of the entire management team, we thank you for sharing in this remarkable<br />

journey.<br />

Statement of Cor porate Gover nance<br />

The Directors of Grand Banks Yachts Limited (the “Company”) are committed to<br />

maintaining a high standard of corporate governance within the Company and its subsidiary<br />

companies (the “Group”). The Company has adopted the principles set out in the Code<br />

of Corporate Governance 2005 (the “Code”) established by the Singapore Corporate<br />

Governance Committee and the relevant sections of the Listing Manual issued by the<br />

Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”).<br />

This report outlines the Company’s main corporate governance practices that are in place.<br />

Where there are deviations from the Code, appropriate explanations are provided.<br />

The Board of Directors consists of two executive directors and five independent directors.<br />

The Board meets regularly throughout the year. The Board sets the overall strategy of the<br />

Group as well as policies on various matters including financial control, reviews the Group’s<br />

financial performance and establishes risk management procedures.<br />

The Board’s five independent directors are respected professionals drawn from a broad<br />

spectrum of expertise and provide a balance of views at Board meetings. Details of the<br />

Directors’ academic and professional qualifications and other appointments are set out on<br />

page 5 of this Annual Report.<br />

The role of the Executive Chairman is not separate from that of the Chief Executive<br />

Officer. There is adequate accountability and transparency as independent directors make<br />

up the majority of the Board. The Board is able to exercise its power objectively and<br />

independently from the management and hence the appointment of an independent lead<br />

director is not necessary.<br />

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, half of the Board including the<br />

Executive Chairman is subject to re-election annually. The directors named below are retiring<br />

and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the next annual general meeting.<br />

The directors are provided with adequate and timely information prior to meetings and<br />

on an on-going basis to enable them to fulfill their duties. The directors have separate and<br />

independent access to the Company’s senior management and the company secretary. The<br />

directors, either individually or as a group, may seek independent professional advice if<br />

necessary at the expense of the Company.<br />

The directors continuously update themselves on new laws, regulations and changing<br />

Nominating Committee<br />

(Code of Corporate Governance Principles 4 & 5)<br />

Frank Schulz Utermoehl (Chairman)<br />

The Nominating Committee whose terms of reference are approved by the Board is<br />

comprised of three independent directors. It meets at least once a year.<br />

The role of the Committee is to make recommendations to the Board on all Board<br />

appointments and on the composition of executive and independent directors of the Board.<br />

It is also charged with the responsibility of re-nominating directors who are retiring by<br />

rotation as well as determining annually whether or not a director is independent. It assesses<br />

the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the contribution of each individual director<br />

to the effectiveness of the Board. It proposes objective performance criteria to evaluate the<br />

Board’s performance. Such criteria include directors’ attendance at meetings, their knowledge<br />

of the business of the Company, contribution during discussions and willingness to keep up<br />

to date with developments in business and legislation.<br />

Remuneration Committee<br />

(Code of Corporate Governance Principles 7, 8 & 9)<br />

Gerald Maxmillian Minjoot (Chairman)<br />

The Remuneration Committee whose terms of reference are approved by the Board is<br />

comprised of three independent directors. It meets at least twice a year.<br />

The role of the Committee is to review and make recommendations to the Board on the<br />

framework of Compensation packages and policies applicable to the Chief Executive Officer<br />

(CEO) and the independent directors. The committee also reviews the compensation of<br />

senior management.<br />

The Committee has access to external expert advice if required.<br />

Audit Committee<br />

(Code of Corporate Governance Principle 11; Listing Manual Rule 1207(6)(b))<br />

Reggie Thein (Chairman)<br />

The Audit Committee comprises three independent directors who are appropriately qualified<br />

to discharge their responsibilities and functions under the terms of reference approved by<br />

the Board. It meets at least four times a year.<br />

The Committee reviews the effectiveness of the Group’s material internal controls<br />

including financial and operational controls, and risk management. It receives reports from<br />

the management, the internal and the external auditors and follows up on outstanding<br />

matters contained in those reports where appropriate. It reviews the Group’s interim and<br />

annual announcements and financial statements before they are submitted to the Board for<br />

approval. It reviews the Group’s compliance with the Listing Manual and Code of Corporate<br />

Governance including interested person transactions. It also recommends the appointment<br />

of the external auditors and reviews their independence and their fees.<br />

The Committee has full access to and the cooperation of the management to enable<br />

it to properly discharge its responsibilities. The internal and the external auditors have<br />

unrestricted access to it.<br />

The Committee has reviewed the non-audit services provided by the external auditors and<br />

these services, in its opinion, would not affect the independence of the external auditors.<br />

The Committee recommends their re-appointment.<br />

Internal control<br />

(Code of Corporate Governance Principle 12)<br />

The Board with the assistance of the Audit Committee ensures that the Group maintains an<br />

adequate system of internal controls to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group’s<br />

assets. The internal controls provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that the Group<br />

will not be adversely affected by any event that could be reasonably foreseen as it strives<br />

to achieve its business objectives. Reviews and tests of the internal control procedures and<br />

systems are carried out by the internal auditor. The Board is thus satisfied with the adequacy<br />

of the Group’s internal controls.<br />

Internal Audit Function<br />

(Code of Corporate Governance Principle 13)<br />

The internal audit function is currently carried out by an Internal Audit Manager who<br />

reports to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews and<br />

approves the annual internal audit plan as well as reviews the results of the regular audits.<br />

The Board is satisfied with the adequacy of the internal audit function and is confident it<br />

has an appropriate standing within the Group.<br />

Communication with Shareholders<br />

(Code of Corporate Governance Principles 14 & 15)<br />

The Company makes all necessary disclosures to the public via SGXNET.<br />

Shareholders of the Company receive the Annual Reports and notices of Annual General<br />

Meetings (AGMs) which are also advertised in the newspapers at least 14 days prior to the<br />

AGMs. The Board encourages shareholders’ participation at the AGMs. Members of the<br />

Board and chairmen of the Board committees are present to answer queries raised at the<br />

meetings.<br />

Dealing in Securities<br />

(Listing Manual Rule 710(2)(b))<br />

The Company has adopted and complied with the section on dealings in securities in the<br />

Best Practices Guide issued by SGX-ST.<br />

Directors and senior executives of the Group are not allowed to deal in the Company’s<br />

shares on short-term considerations or when they are in possession of unpublished material<br />

price-sensitive information. They are also reminded regularly not to deal in the Company’s<br />

shares during the period commencing one month before the announcement of the Group’s<br />

interim and annual results and ending on the date of announcement of those results. They<br />

are required to report to the company secretary whenever they deal in the Company’s shares.<br />

The company secretary assists the Audit Committee and the Board to monitor such share<br />

transactions and make the necessary announcements.<br />

Interested Person Transactions<br />

(Listing Manual Rule 907 & 1207 (16))<br />

There were no interested person transactions of more than $100,000 during the financial<br />

year.<br />

Material Contracts<br />

(Listing Manual Rule 1207(8))<br />

No material contracts of the Company or its subsidiaries involving the interests of the Chief<br />

Executive Officer or any Director or controlling shareholders existed at the end of the<br />

financial year or have been entered into since the end of the previous financial year.<br />

Risk Management<br />

(Listing Manual Rule 1207(4)(d))<br />

With the help of an external consultant, the Company has designed an enterprise risk<br />

management (ERM) framework to monitor, manage and build awareness within the Group<br />

of the various risks that it is exposed to. A risk assessment of the Group’s operations has<br />

also been done. The objective of the risk assessment is to identify and assess risks which<br />

include key financial, operational, strategic and regulatory risks.<br />

The Audit Committee is regularly updated on the Group’s risk management program.

The Audit Committee held four meetings since the last directors’ report. The principal<br />

(b) at the date of this statement, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company<br />

The Board of Directors has, on the date of this statement, authorised these financial<br />

Independent Auditors’ Report<br />

Members of the Company<br />

Grand Banks Yachts Limited<br />

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Grand Banks Yachts Limited (the<br />

“Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the balance sheets of the<br />

Group and the Company as at 31 March <strong>2007</strong>, the income statement, statement of changes<br />

in equity and cash flow statement of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of<br />

significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 15 to 39.<br />

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements<br />

The Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these<br />

financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act,<br />

Chapter 50 (the Act) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility<br />

includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation<br />

and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,<br />

whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and<br />

making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.<br />

Auditors’ responsibility<br />

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our<br />

audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those<br />

standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit<br />

to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material<br />

misstatement.<br />

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and<br />

disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s<br />

judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial<br />

statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor<br />

considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of<br />

the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the<br />

14 <strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>BANKS</strong> <strong>YACHTS</strong> 2 0 0 7 A N N UA L R E P O R T<br />

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the<br />

entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting<br />

policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well<br />

as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.<br />

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide<br />

a basis for our audit opinion.<br />

Opinion<br />

(a) the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet of the<br />

Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and<br />

Singapore Financial Reporting Standards to give a true and fair view of the state of<br />

affairs of the Group and of the Company as at 31 March <strong>2007</strong> and the results, changes<br />

in equity and cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date; and<br />

(b) the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and<br />

by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been<br />

properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.<br />

Notes to the Financial Statements<br />

These notes form an integral part of the financial statements.<br />

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 May<br />

<strong>2007</strong>.<br />

1 Domicile and activities<br />

Grand Banks Yachts Limited (the “Company”) is incorporated in the Republic of<br />

Singapore and has its registered office at 29 Loyang Crescent, Singapore 509015.<br />

The principal activities of the Company are those of an investment holding company<br />

with significant subsidiaries in the business of manufacturing and sale of luxury yachts<br />

worldwide. See Note 4 to the financial statements for additional information on the<br />

subsidiaries.<br />

The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries<br />

(referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in an associate.<br />

2 Summary of significant accounting policies<br />

2.1 Basis of preparation<br />

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Singapore<br />

Financial Reporting Standards (FRS).<br />

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except<br />

for certain assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value.<br />

The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars which is the<br />

Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Singapore<br />

dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.<br />

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make<br />

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting<br />

policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.<br />

Actual results may differ from these estimates.<br />

1 <strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>BANKS</strong> <strong>YACHTS</strong> 2 0 0 7 A N N UA L R E P O R T<br />

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.<br />

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the<br />

estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.<br />

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and<br />

critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant<br />

effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the<br />

following notes:<br />

Note 2.11 and 18 – measurement for provision for warranty claims<br />

Note 9 – measurement of allowance of inventories obsolescene<br />

Note 20 – recognition of revenue using percentage of completion method<br />

The accounting policies used by the Group have been applied consistently to all<br />

periods presented in these financial statements.<br />

2.2 Consolidation<br />

Subsidiaries are companies controlled by the Company. Control exists when<br />

the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and<br />

operating policies of a company so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In<br />

assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken<br />

into account.<br />

Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less<br />

impairment losses. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the<br />

consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the<br />

date that control ceases.<br />

Associates are those companies in which the Group has significant influence, but<br />

not control, over their financial and operating policies.<br />

Investment in an associate is stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less<br />

impairment losses. In the Group’s financial statements, it is accounted for using<br />

the equity method of accounting.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont'd)<br />

Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from<br />

intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial<br />

statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted<br />

investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s<br />

interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way<br />

as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of<br />

impairment.<br />

Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. The<br />

cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity<br />

instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange,<br />

plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.<br />

The excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,<br />

liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is credited to the<br />

income statement in the priod of acquisition.<br />

2.3 Foreign currencies<br />

Foreign currency transactions<br />

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling<br />

at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in<br />

foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Singapore dollars<br />

at foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences<br />

arising from translation are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary<br />

assets and liabilities measured at cost in a foreign currency are translated using<br />

exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities<br />

measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated to Singapore dollars at<br />

foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.<br />

Net investment in a foreign operation<br />

Exchange differences arising from monetary items that in substance form part<br />

of the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation, are recognised in the<br />

Company’s income statement. Such exchange differences are reclassified to<br />

equity in the consolidated financial statements. When the hedged net investment<br />

is disposed of, the cumulative amount in equity is transferred to the income<br />

statement as an adjustment to the profit or loss arising on disposal.<br />

Foreign operations<br />

Assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of foreign operations are translated<br />

to Singapore dollars for consolidation at the rates of exchange ruling at the<br />

balance sheet date. Incomes and expenses of foreign operations are translated<br />

at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences<br />

arising on translation are recognised directly in equity. On disposal, accumulated<br />

translation differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement as<br />

part of the gain or loss on sale.<br />

2.4 Property, plant and equipment<br />

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation<br />

and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis so as<br />

to write off items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful<br />

lives as follows:<br />

Buildings on leasehold land - 28 years<br />

Freehold residential buildings - 50 years<br />

Leasehold land - Lease period of 30 years<br />

Plant and machinery - 5 to 10 years<br />

Furniture, fixtures and equipment - 2 to 10 years<br />

Toolings and moulds - 5 to 10 years<br />

Motor vehicles and workboats - 3 to 10 years<br />

2 0 0 7 A N N UA L R E P O R T <strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>BANKS</strong> <strong>YACHTS</strong> 1

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the<br />

asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct<br />

labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working<br />

condition for its intended use, and the cost of dismantling and removing the<br />

items and restoring the site on which they are located.<br />

No depreciation is provided for assets under construction.<br />

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is<br />

recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future<br />

economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost<br />

can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant<br />

and equipment are recognised in the income statement as incurred.<br />

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted<br />

as appropriate, at each reporting date.<br />

2.5 Club memberships<br />

Club memberships held for long-term are stated at cost less impairment losses.<br />

2.6 Intangible assets<br />

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated<br />

amortisation and impairment losses. Trademarks are amortised in the income<br />

statement on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 20 years.<br />

2.7 Financial instruments<br />

Non-derivative financial instruments<br />

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in debt securities,<br />

trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other<br />

payables.<br />

20 <strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>BANKS</strong> <strong>YACHTS</strong> 2 0 0 7 A N N UA L R E P O R T<br />

These non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value<br />

plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,<br />

these non-derivative financial instruments, except for the investments in debt<br />

securities which are held-for-trading, are measured at amortised cost using<br />

the effective interest method, when applicable, less allowance for impairment<br />

losses.<br />

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the<br />

contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if<br />

the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire<br />

or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining<br />

control or transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset. Regular<br />

way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, ie,<br />

the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial<br />

liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract<br />

expire or are discharged or cancelled.<br />

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits.<br />

Impairment of financial assets<br />

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that<br />

one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows<br />

of that asset.<br />

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is<br />

calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value<br />

of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest<br />

rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is<br />

calculated by reference to its current fair value.<br />

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual<br />

basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share<br />

similar credit risk characteristics.<br />

All impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to<br />

an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income<br />

statement.<br />

Held-for-trading<br />

Financial instruments held-for-trading are classified as current assets and are<br />

stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the income<br />

The fair value of financial instruments classified as held-for-trading is determined<br />

as the quoted bid price at the balance sheet date.<br />

2.8 Impairment – non-financial assets<br />

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories<br />

and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether<br />

there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’<br />

recoverable amounts are estimated.<br />

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its<br />

cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is<br />

the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are<br />

independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in<br />

the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation, credited to equity,<br />

in which case it is charged to equity<br />

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of<br />

its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the<br />

estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax<br />

discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of<br />

money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.<br />

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date<br />

for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment<br />

loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the<br />

recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the<br />

asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have<br />

been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had<br />

been recognised.<br />

2.9 Inventories<br />

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally on the first-in, first-out<br />

basis), and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of<br />

conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present<br />

location and condition.<br />

Finished products include the cost of materials, labour and an appropriate<br />

portion of overheads based on normal operating capacity.<br />

Net realisable value of finished products is the estimated selling price in the<br />

ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the<br />

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.<br />

2.10 Construction contracts<br />

The accounting policy for contract revenue is set out in Note 2.13. When the<br />

outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs are<br />

recognised as expenses by reference to the stage of completion of the contract<br />

activity at the balance sheet date. When it is probable that total contract costs<br />

will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense<br />

immediately. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated<br />

reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they<br />

are incurred.<br />

2 0 0 7 A N N UA L R E P O R T <strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>BANKS</strong> <strong>YACHTS</strong> 2 1

2.11 Provisions<br />

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present<br />

legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable<br />

that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.<br />

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a<br />

pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money<br />

and the risks specific to the liability.<br />

Provision for warranty claims<br />

A provision for warranty claims is recognised when the boats are sold. The<br />

provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible<br />

outcomes against their associated probabilities. Claims, when incurred, are<br />

charged against this provision account. The Group expects to incur the liability<br />

over the next 18 to 60 months.<br />

2.12 Employee benefits<br />

Defined contribution plans<br />

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an<br />

expense in the income statement as incurred.<br />

Share-based payments<br />

The share option programme allows Group employees to acquire shares of<br />

the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee<br />

expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured<br />

at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become<br />

unconditionally entitled to the options.<br />

At each balance sheet date, the fair value of the options granted is not reestimated.<br />

However, the Company revises its estimates of the number of<br />

options that are expected to become exercisable taking into account staff<br />

turnover rates. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates in<br />

employee expense with a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining<br />

vesting period.<br />

22 <strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>BANKS</strong> <strong>YACHTS</strong> 2 0 0 7 A N N UA L R E P O R T<br />

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transactions costs are<br />

credited to share capital when the options are exercised.<br />

2.13 Revenue recognition<br />

Construction contracts<br />

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract<br />

revenue and expenses are recognised in the income statement by reference to the<br />

stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date. The stage<br />

of completion is measured by reference to the hours incurred to date and the<br />

estimated total hours for each contract. When it is probable that total contract<br />

costs will exceed total revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense<br />

immediately in the income statement.<br />

Sale of stock boats<br />

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have<br />

been transferred to the buyer. Revenue excludes goods and services taxes and<br />

other sales taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. No revenue<br />

is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the<br />

consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.<br />

Interest income<br />

Interest income from bank deposits is accrued on a time-apportioned basis.<br />

2.14 Income tax<br />

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is<br />

recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items<br />

recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.<br />

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year,<br />

using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any<br />

adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for<br />

temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities<br />

for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.<br />

Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the<br />

initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a<br />

transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting<br />

nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the<br />

extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred<br />

tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary<br />

differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or<br />

substantively enacted by the reporting date.<br />

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future<br />

taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be<br />

utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced<br />

to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be<br />

realised.<br />

2.15 Operating leases<br />

Where the Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made<br />

under the leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis<br />

over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income<br />

statement as an integral part of the total lease payments made. Contingent<br />

rentals are charged to the income statement in the accounting period in which<br />

they are incurred.<br />

2.16 Other income<br />

Other income comprises interest income on bank deposits, foreign exchange<br />

gain, unrealised gain on quoted investments, gain on disposal of associate and<br />

others.<br />

2.17 Finance costs<br />

Interest expense and similar charges are expensed in the income statement in the<br />

period in which they are incurred.<br />

27 Financial instruments<br />

Financial risk management objectives and policies<br />

Exposure to credit, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the<br />

Group’s business. The Group has established risk management policies and guidelines<br />

which set out its overall business strategies, its tolerance of risk and its general risk<br />

management philosophy. Such established policies are reviewed periodically to ensure<br />

that the Group’s policy guidelines are adhered to.<br />

Credit risk<br />

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored<br />

on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all new dealers and when<br />

other circumstances require such analysis.<br />

At the balance sheet date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.<br />

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each<br />

financial asset in the balance sheet.<br />

Interest rate risk<br />

The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to<br />

interest-earning financial assets.<br />

Effective interest rates and repricing analysis<br />

In respect of interest-earning financial assets, the following table indicates their<br />

effective interest rates at the balance sheet date and the periods in which they reprice.

Foreign currency risk<br />

The Group incurs foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated<br />

in currencies other than Singapore Dollar. The currencies giving rise to this risk are<br />

primarily US Dollar, Ringgit Malaysia and Euro.<br />

The Group selectively uses forward foreign exchange contracts, with maturities of less<br />

than one year, to hedge its foreign currency risk.<br />

Estimating the fair values<br />

Securities<br />

Fair value is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date without any<br />

deduction for transaction costs.<br />

Derivatives<br />

Forward exchange contracts are either marked to market using the listed market prices<br />

or by discounting the contractual forward price and deducting the current spot rate.<br />

Other financial assets and liabilities<br />

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than<br />

one year (including trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and trade<br />

and other payables) are assumed to approximate their fair values because of the short<br />

period to maturity. All other financial assets and liabilities are discounted to determine<br />

their fair values.<br />

2 Contingent liabilities<br />

At 31 March <strong>2007</strong>, the Company has outstanding contingent liabilities amounting to<br />

$4.6 million (2006: $4.6 million) in respect of guarantees given to a bank for banking<br />

facilities granted to a subsidiary, of which no amount was utilised.<br />

2 Segment reporting<br />

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in<br />

providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services<br />

within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to<br />

risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.<br />

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s business and geographical<br />

segments. The primary format, geographical segments, is based on the Group’s<br />

management and internal reporting structure.<br />

Inter-segment pricing is determined on mutually agreed terms.<br />

Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as<br />

well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise<br />

tax assets and tax liabilities.<br />

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire<br />

segment assets that is expected to be used for more than one period.<br />

The Group is organised into three geographical segments by location of assets:<br />

- Singapore<br />

- Malaysia<br />

- Others<br />

The Group, which manufactures in two principal countries, namely Singapore and<br />

Malaysia, primarily engages in the manufacture and sale of luxury yachts worldwide.<br />

The Group’s sales activities are carried out by its US subsidiary which monitors the<br />

activities of dealers who sell the Group’s products around the globe.<br />

Business Segments<br />

As the Group operates predominantly in one business segment which is the<br />

manufacture and sale of luxury yachts worldwide, no other information by business<br />

segment is presented.<br />

30 Legal matters<br />

The Group is involved in both claims and legal proceedings. Using the latest information<br />

available, the Group accrues for its exposure based upon the Management’s best<br />

estimates, made in consultation with legal counsel, of the likely range of exposure<br />

stemming from the claims. In the opinion of the Management, the Group’s litigation<br />

or claims, when finally resolved, will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s<br />

consolidated financial position. Nevertheless, Management continues to monitor both<br />

claims and legal proceedings to determine that its estimates are adequate; however, if<br />

current cost estimates for the resolution of these claims are later determined to be<br />

inadequate, then the results of the Group’s operations could be adversely affected.<br />

The Group has not applied the following accounting standards and interpretations that<br />

have been issued as of the balance sheet date but are not yet effective:<br />

FRS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation<br />

FRS 40 Investment Property<br />

Amendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Capital Disclosures<br />

INT FRS 111 Group and Treasury Share Transactions<br />

INT FRS 112 Service Concession Arrangements

32 New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted (cont'd)<br />

FRS 107 and amended FRS 1, which become mandatory for the Group’s 2008 financial<br />

statements, will require extensive additional disclosures with respect to the Group’s<br />

financial instruments and share capital. This standard does not have any impact on the<br />

recognition and measurement of the Group’s financial statements.<br />

INT FRS 110 prohibits the reversal of an impairment loss recognised in an interim<br />

period during the financial year in respect of goodwill, an investment in an equity<br />

instrument or a financial asset carried at cost. INT FRS 110 will become mandatory<br />

for the Group’s 2008 financial statements, and will apply to goodwill, investments in<br />

equity instruments, and financial assets carried at cost prospectively from the date the<br />

Group first applied the measurement criteria of FRS 36 and FRS 39 respectively (ie<br />

1 April 2005).<br />

The initial application of these standards and interpretations are not expected to<br />

have any material impact on the Group’s financial statements. The Group has not<br />

considered the impact of accounting standards issued after the balance sheet date.<br />
