AGENDA 1: PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS
1.1 President welcomed Board Members, Members and staff to the 40th Annual General Meeting.
1.2 President informed the meeting that there was to be no election in that year. She then announced that Dr Intan Azura Mokhtar, who had been elected as Member of Parliament, had resigned as PPIS Board Member. A new Board Member, Dr Bibi Jan, was then introduced by President.
1.3 President announced that three new PPIS centres were opened in 2010/2011. With the formation of these new centres, PPIS could strive to tackle the needs of our community and provide long term solution to our community issues more effectively. These new centres were:
i. PPIS Vista Sakinah
Vista Sakinah was launched on 15th January 2011, focusing on remarriages and stepfamilies. Social Workers in Vista Sakinah were trained in the specialized skills of providing emotional support for remarrying couples and helping them deal with the issues and anticipated challenges of remarriages. The centre had programmes uniquely designed for couples and children in stepfamilies.
ii. PPIS Family Service Centre (FSC) East
On 3 December 2010, FSC East was set up in the eastern part of Singapore, strengthening our foothold as a Muslim Voluntary Welfare Organization (VWO). FSC East had a high number of the elderly seeking assistance as compared to FSC West. FSC East had also seen clients from other races. In total, 629 cases were seen at FSC East during its first year.
President mentioned that at the opening of FSC East, the then Minister of Community Development Youth and Sports, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said that PPIS should have FSCs in the North and South of Singapore. President commented that there was a demand in the North for assistance and PPIS could come in and offer assistance to these families.
iii. PPIS Child Development Centre – Bedok Reservoir
PPIS Child Development Centre (Bedok Reservoir) was opened in September 2010 as another platform to provide more learning opportunities for the future generation. President felt that it was important for future children to have good leadership and characters without compromising Islamic values.
1.4 President commended the PPIS Board and Management for being able to set up three centres within a year. She felt that there was a lot more that PPIS needed to do for the betterment of families and future generation. She encouraged PPIS to develop more innovative programmes and services for the community. There was a need for consistent development to ensure that we met our objectives and remained relevant to the society.
1.5 President proceeded with the confirmation of the Minutes of the 39th Annual General Meeting. 09
AGENDA 2: CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES OF 39TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
2.1 As there was no other amendment or clarification to the Minutes of the 39th Annual General Meeting, Mdm Siti Habibah Siraj proposed and Ms Dahliyah Hamid seconded the confirmation of the Minutes.
AGENDA 3: TO RECEIVE AND ADOPT THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2010 - 2011
3.1 President invited CEO Maznah Masop, to run through the PPIS Annual Report 2011. CEO explained that the Annual Report comprised the various division reports from the community and corporate services. She then proceeded to open the floor for questions since the report had been distributed earlier.
3.2 Ms Maimunah Mosli enquired as to why the Symposium was not included in the PPIS Annual Report 2011. CEO Maznah Masop explained that the Symposium was held in April 2011 and the FY was from April 2010 to March 2011, thus it would only be reported in the following year’s annual report.
3.3 As there were no further questions or amendments, President invited Members to receive and adopt the Annual Report for 2010 – 2011. The Annual Report was proposed by Ms Sitti Zainon Hassan and seconded by Ms Mariam Alias.
AGENDA 4: TO RECEIVE AND ADOPT THE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 2011
4.1 As the Treasurer was on medical leave and Assistant Treasurer was out of town, President called upon the Finance Manager, Ms Ummi Kalsom Hamis, to present the highlights of the financial report.
4.2 Ms Ummi Kalsom Hamis reported that overall, the organization had surpluses and the total fund increased by 17%. The total assets also increased significantly due to the opening of three new centres. Income for unrestricted funds increased by $1.9 million and this was attributed to higher funding because of the three new centres, and also the increase in programme fees and school fees. Expenses also increased proportionately with the opening of three new centres due to higher operating expenses and staff costs.
4.3 President concluded that PPIS has surpluses and this would allow us to continue planning for programmes in 2011. All the various centre surpluses were healthy except for the student care centres.
4.4 Ms Sakina Kagda congratulated the Management for a job well done, and urged them to keep the finances healthy and for every centre to run profitably or at least at breakeven. She asked how the 2 Student Care Centres could be run better without making losses. CEO Maznah Masop explained that 60% of the students in Jurong and Bedok Student care centres came from the lower income groups. The two centres were deliberately run even though they were incurring losses, so that PPIS could help the lower income families. These centres were supported via fund raising and other income generating activities.
4.5 President announced that the cash flow was healthy, thus we could continue with our programmes because our funding was healthy.
4.6 With no further questions, President invited the meeting to receive and adopt the financial statement for the year ended 31 March 2011. The financial report was proposed by Ms Sakina Kagda and seconded by Ms Siti Hamidah Bahashwan. 10
AGENDA 5: APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
5.1 President proposed to continue with the same auditor, Fadhilah Goh & Co for financial year 2011, and this was not met with any objection from the Members.
AGENDA 6: ANY OTHER MATTERS
6.1 Ms Manijeh Namazie enquired about the number of Members in PPIS currently. Ms Mariam Alias informed the meeting that there were currently 110 life members and 80 ordinary members. She encouraged those present to sign up as life or ordinary members in PPIS. She highlighted that PPIS was unique because it was the only Muslim women organization in Singapore.
Ms Sakina Kagda enquired why PPIS did not invite clients who take part in PPIS services, to join as a Member. She also suggested for the Membership fees to be lowered to encourage more people to join, and to ask parents who sent their children to the childcare centres to join as Members. Ms Mariam Alias highlighted that PPIS used to get parents of the kindergarten children to join as members but now, she did not want to force the parents to join. She also mentioned that the membership is $1 per month, and she did not think that it can get any lower.
President encouraged staff and board members to get families and friends to sign up as Members. The form was available online at the PPIS website. President suggested to hold activities to invite more Members to come.
Ms Siti Hamidah Bahashwan suggested to have activities or talks that will interest life members to come, instead of just an annual meeting. President acknowledged that not many Members came, and more efforts needed to be taken next year to call life members to come for the meeting.
6.2 As there were no other matters to discuss, the 40th Annual General Meeting ended at 11.40am. Compassion and benevolence towards oneself and others 12 CORPORATE SERVICES

CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
Corporate Communications started FY11-12 with a clear focus of strengthening the PPIS branding at national level. Being 59 years in the social service sector, it was pertinent for PPIS to surface alongside other VWOs, especially those looking into the welfare of our Malay Muslim community. In order for this objective to materialise, it was essential that communication be built both internally, within the organisation and externally, with the media, other partner agencies and stakeholders. Thus the works of Corp Comms were specifically targeted towards networking and maximising on publicity, as well as streamlining the communication process and guidelines within the organisation.
The establishment of rapport with the media led to a series of media exposure for PPIS both on broadcast and print media. Issues like homelessness, divorce and marital are examples of rising issues where our counsellors’ advice were constantly being sought after. It was indeed necessary for PPIS to stand up and reach out to the community to provide awareness on our services and programmes so that the needy can refer to for assistance.
Internal communication was further enhanced with the Corp Comms team going to all centres to understand their process flow, their respective needs and constraints. The findings were then deliberated and used in preparing the Communication handbook which will be produced by the next financial year. 13 CORPORATE SERVICES
Highlight of the Year The main event of the year was the launch of Symposium Wanita held on 9 April 2011 at Suntec City Convention Centre. Officiated by PPIS Patron & Minister of State Madam Halimah Yacob, this ticketed event saw women from various walks of lives coming together to understand the challenges faced in balancing their multiple roles and responsibilities in today’s modern world. This symposium was a stepping stone for PPIS in creating a platform for women to raise and discuss matters concerning them, children and families, indirectly reinforcing the mission that PPIS set out to achieve.

Moving Forward Although there has been an increase in the number of training activities for this fiscal year, there is still a long way to go for T&C to establish itself as a niche training provider. We will need to enhance our current staff expertise; consolidate their knowledge and provide them with more opportunities to hone their skills in public speaking and training. We need to develop a pool of experts in the field as well as a plethora of training programmes that are unique and responsive to the requirements and interests of our target participants. 22 SOCIAL SERVICES

These SCCs cater to students living or schooling within their vicinity as an alternative care service for working mothers. As part of our support structure, the SCCs receive social work support from the two sister FSCs whenever their students or parents need casework intervention.
The main challenge faced by both SCCs for the past years was keeping the service affordable to low-income parents, who formed up to 60% of the service-users, despite the difficulties of sustaining the programme. With an increased capacity for SCC (Jurong) from 60 to 86 students following renovations in 2010, it is hoped that increasing the enrolment will also result in an increase in revenue for the centre.

Community Support Programme Findings from the FSC‘s Community Needs Assessment indicated a number of young housewives from low- income families that expressed difficulties managing various family issues. FSC (East) piloted ‘Talking Pot’ programme in the later part of the FY for women from low-income families. The 8-session programme consisted of budget-friendly cooking lessons followed by support group sessions, discussing issues on the family. The second run of Talking Pot commenced at the end of FY and will continue until end of July 2012. The number of participants also grew from 4 in the pilot run to 6.
Outreach Efforts Quite a significant part of the FSC work for FY11/12 went into outreach. This is to enhance the centre’s visibility and to introduce it to other organisations in the service boundary. The outreach efforts resulted in several projects that the FSC conducted and collaborated with the various agencies and stakeholders.
FSC (East) began FY11/12 with a 4-part Parenting Workshop Series for 10 parents and teachers of Madrasah Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah in April and July 2011.
Together with Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah and Muhammadiyah Association, an event titled “IT Workshop 2012: Combating the Negative Influences of Social Media” was jointly organised in March 2012. Graced by Mdm Halimah Yacob, Minister of State for Community Development, Youth and Sports, the workshop was attended by more than 180 Malay/Muslim youths. 24 SOCIAL SERVICES

The top 3 concerns raised by the community were financial difficulties, employment issues and care for the elderly. The exercise has also raised awareness of FSC’s services in the community with more than 70% residents surveyed said that they were not aware of the FSC in the area and after the survey, over 92% respondents said that they will use the FSC services when in need.
Moving Forward FSC (East) will continue in the next FY to establish Talking Pot as its niche community support programme as well as develop plans to meet the needs of the elderly. It will also look at enhancing its casework and counselling services to better meet the needs of clients with financial difficulties as well as those with housing and accommodation issues through the strengthening its linkages with relevant partners in the community. 25 SOCIAL SERVICES

Working with low income families with young children, caseworkers highlighted the challenge of expanding their intervention beyond working with parents on the families’ financial issues. With the growing emphasis on services becoming “child-centric” and with the dissolution of the Healthy Start Programme at the national level, FSCs are now encouraged to draw up supportive programmes that will respond to the needs of these clientele group.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Core Service/ Programme Information PPIS Early Childhood Care and Education (ECE) is one of the pioneers in the establishment of play/project- based curriculums in Singapore which focuses on experiential learning. We have continued to put a strong emphasis on advocating for children and families throughout the year.
In ensuring the best interest for every child, PPIS ECE holds the philosophy of providing a healthy foundation within nurturing environments that support child development in the early years.
Our vision is to be a dynamic agency in the provision of comprehensive Early Childhood Care and Education imbued in RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE and RECIPROCAL (3Rs) relationships that support child development in the early years.
Our goals are to tap children’s learning to the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in the areas of PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL, SOCIO-EMOTIONAL and SPIRITUAL (PIES) attributes.
Key Objective and Focus for FY 2011-2012 at Centre Level PPIS ECE key objectives and focus were curriculum, approaches to learning, activities, projects and educational trips. Curriculum focused on a teacher- facilitated, child-initiated bilingual (English & Malay) programme. Our approaches to learning focused on the important role of the teacher as a facilitator in providing a rich environment; cohesive to children’s learning through play and projects. In activities, the children were exposed to various activities that support teacher-facilitated, child-facilitated learning. With the experiential learning, children would be taken through central-based project work to enhance co-operative learning. The Project Approach was taken to transform the classroom into a learning environment that was more responsive to the varying learning needs and interests of children. Education trips were organised with the aim of further enriching the various topics discussed for the project culmination.
For FY, 2011- 2012, PPIS ECE focused on ways to extend centres project through purposefully collaborations with parents, community and early childhood practitioners, both locally and internationally.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Persatuan Pemudi Islam Singapura (the “Association”), which comprise the statement of financial position of the Association as at 31st March 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in funds and statement of cash flows of the Association for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Board of Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Board of Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), 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 statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position 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 plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 47 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : 31ST MARCH 2012

1 GENERAL
PERSATUAN PEMUDI ISLAM SINGAPURA (Registration Number: S64SS0011K) is registered as a welfare organisation in accordance with the Societies Act, Chapter 311, and Institution of a Public Character (IPC) under the Charities Act, Chapter 37. The Association has been accorded the status of an Institution of Public Character (IPC) for the period from 1st July 2008 to 30th June 2012.
The registered address of the Association is at Blk 1, Eunos Crescent, #01-2509, Singapore 400001. The principal activities of the Association are to: a) Promote and cultivate educational, economic, cultural and social awareness and interests among Muslim women in Singapore; b) Enhance and promote the welfare of the Muslim family; and c) Operate and manage early childhood education centres, social services and student care centres. The financial statements of the Association for the financial ye ar ended 31st March 2012 were authorised for issue by the Board of Management passed on the date of Statement by Board of Management.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparations
The financial statements of the Association have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS).
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars which is also the functional currency of the Association. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Association operates.
2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except in the current financial year, the Association has adopted all the new and revised standards and Interpretations of FRS (INT FRS) that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2011. The adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Association.
2.3 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
The Association has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective:
Description Effective date Amendments to FRS 1 – Presentation of Items of (annual periods beginning on or after) Other Comprehensive Income 1 July 2012 Revised FRS 19 Employee Benefits 1 January 2013
The management expects that the adoption of the other standards and interpretations above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. 63 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : 31ST MARCH 2012
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31ST MARCH 2012
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
2.4 Joint Venture
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Association and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control that is when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Association’s interest in joint venture is accounted for in the financial statements using the equity method.
Investment in joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus cost directly attributable to the acquisition.
In applying the equity method of accounting, the Association’s share of its joint venture’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in equity directly. These post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the invetstment. When the Association’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured non-current receivables, the Association does not recognise further losses, unless it has obligations or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
Unrealised gains or losses on transaction between the Association and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Association’s interest in the joint venture.
2.5 Plant and Equipment
All items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, plant and equipment and furniture and fixtures are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying plant and equipment. The accounting policy for borrowing costs is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Association recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Plant and equipment costing more than S$ 1,000 are capitalised in the financial statements. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis so as to write off the valuation or cost of the plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives, which are as follows: -
Office and kindergarten equipment 3 - 5 years Furniture, fittings and renovations 5 years Air-conditioners 5 years
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. 64 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : 31ST MARCH 2012
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31ST MARCH 2012
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
2.6 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Association assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment assessment for asset is required, the Association makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use and is estimated for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Association estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
2.7 Financial Assets
Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial assets are recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Association determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent Measurement – Loans and Receivables Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortised process.
Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
2.8 Impairment of Financial Assets
The Association assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.
a) Assets Carried at Amortised Cost For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Association first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, 65 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : 31ST MARCH 2012
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31ST MARCH 2012
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
2.8 Impairment of Financial Assets (cont’d)
a) Assets Carried at Amortised Cost (cont’d) or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Association determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.
When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of the financial asset.
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Association considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
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 was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in the income statement.
b) Assets Carried at Cost If there is objective evidence than an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.
2.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and fixed deposits.
2.10 Financial Liabilities
Initial Recognition and Measurement All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of other financial liabilities, plus directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent Measurement After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, through the amortisation process.
Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharges or cancelled or expires. 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. 66 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : 31ST MARCH 2012
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31ST MARCH 2012
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
2.11 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Association has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is not longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
2.12 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Association and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.
a) Sales Revenue from sale of books and stationeries are recognised upon the transfer of significant risk and rewards of the goods to the customer.
b) Service Income Service income includes school fees, programme fees and management fees. Such income is recognised when services are rendered.
c) Interest Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis.

2.14 Government Grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be compiled with. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is recognised as deferred capital grant on the statement of finacial position and is amortised to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.
Government grant shall be recognised in profit or loss on systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Grants related to income may be presented as a credit in profit or loss, either separately or under a general heading such as “Other income”. Alternatively, they are deducted in reporting the related expenses.
2.15 Operating Lease
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
2.16 Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to the cash-generating unit that is expected to benefit from the synergy of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are assigned to the unit. 69 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : 31ST MARCH 2012
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31ST MARCH 2012
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
2.16 Goodwill (cont’d)
The cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that cash-generating unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Association’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of each reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.
3.1 Judgments Made in Applying Accounting Policies
In the process of applying the Association’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Useful Lives of Plant and Equipment The cost of plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives if these plant and equipment to be 3 to 5 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the operations of the Association.
The carrying amounts of the Association’s plant and equipment at 31st March 2012 was S$ 1,086,978. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
The accounting policies used by the Association have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.
3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
a) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Association is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. 71 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : 31ST MARCH 2012

3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (cont’d)
b) Impairment of Loans and Receivables The Association assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Association considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
Whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the Association’s loans and receivables at the statement of financial position date is disclosed in Note 7 and 9 to the financial statements.

16 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The main risks arising from the Associations’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The policies for managing each of these risks are summarised below. a) Interest Rate Risk Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. There is minimal risk on interest rate as the Association does not obtain financing through bank borrowings and leasing arrangements. b) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Association will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Association monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Association’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. c) Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Association. The Association’s exposure to credit risk arises from its fees receivables and other receivables. The Association establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of fees receivable. This allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures. For other financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the Association minimise credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.
d) Foreign Currency Risk The Association has no exposure to foreign currency risk, as the Association has no financial assets, liabilities and transactions in the foreign currencies.
The Association has no significant exposure to any other financial risks.
