Haw Par Corporation Limited has been listed on The Singapore Exchange since 1969. Headquartered in Singapore, the Group’s core healthcare and leisure businesses promote healthy lifestyles through its healthcare products and oceanariums. Haw Par’s healthcare products are manufactured and marketed under its various established brands Tiger Balm and Kwan Loong. Tiger Balm, a renowned ointment is used worldwide to invigorate the body as well as to relief aches and pains. Its product extensions such as Tiger Balm Medicated Plaster, Tiger Balm Joint Rub, Tiger Balm Neck and Shoulder Rub, Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Patch and Tiger Balm ACTIVE range cater to the lifestyle needs of a new health-conscious generation. The Group owns and operates two oceanariums, namely Underwater World Singapore at Sentosa and Underwater World Pattaya in Thailand. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 The Group also has interests in investment properties and manages its own portfolio of investments in securities.

It also aims to manage efficiently its portfolio of investments in properties and securities to achieve a reasonable return. 1 Chairman’s statement In 2012, the world was confronted with subdued growth and weak demand mainly from western economies. In Asia, a low interest rate environment coupled with an abundance of liquidity fuelled asset prices. As a result, earnings for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 increased 50% to $120.0m, mainly from higher fair value gains on investment properties. Group revenue increased 5% to $139.3m, contributed mainly by higher sales of Tiger Balm products. The 2012 performance also benefited from exceptional gains by associated companies. Healthcare Division ended the year with higher sales of $92.0m (2011: $81.4m), supported by growth in certain key Asian markets. Profits improved to $17.2m (2011: $15.6m). Excluding the impairment 2 charge on Chengdu Oceanarium in the previous year, Leisure Division improved its profit by 11% to $11.9m (2011: $10.7m). Property Division enjoyed stable occupancy rates with profit of $12.9m (2011: $13.1m). HIGHLIGHTS OF OPERATIONS Healthcare Division improved its packaging worldwide. It also focused its product offerings to consumers with different needs, such as the young and active individuals. Targeted marketing efforts included online campaigns to boost sales in key markets, riding on the strong Tiger Balm brand. New product launches including variants of Tiger Balm plaster, Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellant patches and Tiger Balm Neck and Shoulder Rub were well received by consumers. Cost pressures remained acute, particularly from the raising of minimum wage rates in various parts of Asia as well as the increase in raw material prices. More countries imposed stricter regulatory compliance on our products, resulting in higher compliance costs in addition to longer timeframe for approvals. Leisure Division saw heightened competition as new tourist attractions came on stream both in Singapore and Thailand. A tight labour market in Singapore, compounded by increasing demand for frontline and specialized personnel put further pressures on margins. Underwater World Singapore received fewer visitors as a result of stiffer competition. Underwater World Pattaya, however, enjoyed healthy growth with the launch of a new jellyfish exhibit during the year. 2013 Business Outlook and Strategy Hua Han Bio-Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited (“Hua Han”), the Group’s Hong Kong-listed associate, continued to perform well. Its sales increased by more than 10% for their financial year ended 30 June 2012. There were also exceptional gains during the year from the disposal of Hua Han’s associated company. In view of the current state of the global economy, the Group anticipates challenging times. Cost pressures and competitive forces would continue to affect bottom lines. The Healthcare Division is well-positioned to ride on growth in key Asian markets, where consumers have increasing purchasing p o w e r. A n e w a n d l a r g e r plant in Xiamen China will increase capacity and improve efficiency. The Leisure Division will review expansion plans at Underwater World Pattaya to attract more local and foreign visitors. Underwater World Singapore, which has provided many years of good returns, will face greater pressures with the opening of newer attractions in Singapore and the region. DIVIDEND The Board recommends a second and final tax exempt (onetier) dividend of 14 cents per share. Together with the interim dividend of 6 cents paid last September, the total dividend per share for financial year ended 31 December 2012 is 20 cents per share, the same as that in 2011. A bonus issue is proposed on the basis of one Bonus Share for every ten existing ordinary shares held. The Group will continue to proactively seek new investments.

The official launch of Tiger Balm in Myanmar in September 2012. Increasing importance of social media in the marketing mix. Our performance for 2012 showed a healthy improvement over the previous year despite facing many challenges in some of the key markets we compete in. The political and economic crisis in many of the countries in the Middle East continued to hamper our business while the weakening of the US dollar and the Rupee against the Singapore dollar also adversely affected our sales. Additionally, the cost of raw materials and production, and other operating costs continued to rise with the price of fuel. In mitigating the escalating cost, price adjustments for our products were implemented in several countries during the year. We managed to achieve good progress towards building our business in selected emerging 18 markets. New distributors were appointed in a number of new markets. Capitalising on the potential of the newly opened Myanmar market, we launched the Tiger Balm Ointment, Tiger Balm Plasters and the Tiger Balm Liniment in Myanmar. Brand awareness for Tiger Balm was high and the official launch event in September was well received, attended by over 600 retailers, chemists and invited media. Leveraging on our success with the Tiger Balm Neck & Shoulder Rub and Boost in Singapore, we expanded this range to Germany and Malaysia. We also introduced the Tiger Balm Back Pain Patch in Hong Kong. These line extensions serve to widen the spectrum of appeal of Tiger Balm to the consumers. Distributors from 37 countries participated in the biennial Tiger Balm International Marketing Conference held in Suzhou, China, in April 2012. We continued to invest in effective advertising and promotion campaigns in all our markets to protect and grow our market share. In addition to these traditional marketing tools, social media, an increasingly powerful marketing platform, was incorporated into a number of our marketing campaigns, when targeting a media savvy audience, to further strengthen our engagement with consumers. In Malaysia, for instance, many bloggers with strong following of professionals and executives online participated in the promotion of the Tiger Balm Neck & Shoulder Rub Boost during the launch. Another instance of our success with the social media is our Germany’s Tiger Balm Team - Run to New York and Run to Hawaii social media campaigns. The facebook voting contest to select 3 runners in Germany to represent Tiger Balm at the 2012 Honolulu Marathon in Tiger Balm was a sponsor of Adidas — King of the Road, a popular race event with a running route that highlights icons in Singapore’s city area. Hawaii attracted more than 1,000 creative entries from contestants, generating an online buzz with over 11 million views. Our key success factor for Tiger Balm’s growth strategy is gaining consumer trials for our product. Hence, in the United States, Tiger Balm partnered with The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer — a national series of 39-mile weekend fundraising events in which participants walk 26 miles on day 1, and then 13 miles on day 2. At the Avon Walk events in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York, Tiger Balm samples were distributed at the end of the long walks by massage therapists, chiropractors, podiatrists, and other medical professional to walk participants who were in need of pain relief. In Singapore, Tiger Balm was a sponsor for the Yellow Ribbon Run, Adidas — King of the Road, Great Eastern Women’s Run and the Standard Chartered Marathon where Tiger Balm samples were given out in goodie bags to over 100,000 runners. It is envisaged that 2013 will still present us with some of the challenges that we faced in 2012. Financial risks and liquidity will be the key concern in some markets for our distributors and their retailers. We will have to manage these risks carefully. We will, of course, continue to introduce the whole range of products into our existing markets once their registrations are completed. Our going-forward strategy to improve our business is to venture outside of our topical analgesic segment into other segments where Tiger Balm has credence. One area we are working on is towards developing products that deliver wellbeing benefits and launch them under the Tiger Balm brand name or its sub-brand Tiger Balm ACTIVE.

Underwater World Singapore celebrated the Year of the Water Dragon with Singapore’s First Underwater Dragon Dance. Resilience is the name of the game while we set our sight on building a basket of leisure offerings in the region. Underwater World Singapore Underwater World Singapore (UWS) continued to face enormous challenges on different fronts in 2012. A sluggish global economy had its effects on the overall tourism performance in Singapore. The strong Singapore dollar coupled with high hotel rates adversely affected traditional tourist markets that UWS serves. Sentosa, where UWS is situated, was under pressure from new and strengthening tourism clusters in Singapore and Malaysia. An aquarium newly opened at the integrated resort in Sentosa since late November also presented direct competition to UWS. Despite these turbulent market conditions, the negative impact on UWS’ bottom-line was less severe 22 than expected as it planned ahead and took swift action to manage the competition, increase productivity and reduce operating cost. UWS also continued to experience growth in visitor numbers from certain key markets. To counter the competition from new and existing key attractions, UWS expanded its sales channels through close collaborations with trade partners to reach potential visitors, while, at the same time, sustained mindshare through investment in advertising spend and increased public relations activities. During the Chinese New Year in 2012, UWS transformed its iconic One of Singapore’s Top 3 enrichment experiences, the Living in the Ocean Sleepover programme at Underwater World Singapore is an underwater night adventure popular with local and overseas school groups. Underwater Tunnel into an 83-metre �Water Dragon’ to celebrate the Year of the Water Dragon, a oncein-60-year occurrence based on the lunar calendar. While in the tunnel, visitors were treated to Singapore’s first underwater dragon dance performance by UWS divers using a customised waterproof dragon. The event captured media attention and made headlines in mainstream newspapers. The unique pink dolphin, famous for its �bubbly pink’ coat, and the opportunities for swims and interactions at the Dolphin Lagoon, remained an important differentiator for UWS. In March 2012, the pink dolphins were featured in a popular Chinese reality TV programme on Singapore’s MediaCorp Channel 8. In May 2012, UWS launched a new display — the Zebra Horn Shark for the mid-year school holidays. A new addition to the shark family at UWS, this fascinating species of shark has beautiful body bands across their body that share similarity with Zebra’s stripes. In conjunction with the new exhibit, UWS introduced a host of new activities such as marine storytelling with eco-crafts lessons using recycled materials and roving magic acts, offering family fun for visitors of all ages. Toddlers from Cherie Hearts and students from Fernvale Primary School learning about the Zebra Horn Shark, the new addition to the shark family at Underwater World Singapore. Upholding the tradition of bringing Christmas joy to the guests, the Divers at the UWS Curatorial Department all suited up as Santas and Santarinas, fed the sharks and rays daily at the Tunnel during the Christmas season. The annual festive show continued to amaze adults and children alike while attracting media interest. UWS’ continued strive to bring the most unique experiences to its guests bore fruit when its Living in the Ocean Sleepover programme was selected in October 2012 as one of the 3 finalists for the 2012 Singapore’s Best Enrichment Experience Award. Organised by the Singapore Tourism Board, the Singapore Experience Award is Singapore Tourism’s highest accolade, recognising Singapore’s most outstanding experiences. Competition is expected to stay fierce in 2013 with existing and new players vying for a share of the tourism pie. In the demanding year ahead, UWS will intensify sales and marketing efforts to engage trade intermediaries in a bid to gain mindshare and maintain market share in group travel, as well as to expand market reach through developing new sales channels. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 The Pink Dolphin with its Trainer at the Dolphin Lagoon. 23 Launch of the �Jellyfish World’ at Underwater World Pattaya was attended by VIPs from the Chonburi Province of Thailand and garnered media attention. First of its kind in Thailand, the state-of-the-art jellyfish display at Underwater World Pattaya incorporates a lights-and-sounds show. Underwater World Pattaya In 2012, Underwater World Pattaya (UWP) focused on strengthening the local visitorship and increasing the market share for foreign tourists on group tours from emerging markets. Concerted efforts and resources deployed to develop new exhibits together with intensive participation in local trade shows and visits to schools resulted in a significant increase in local and school visitorship. With continued participation in overseas trade fairs and trade visits to emerging markets, UWP also saw a significant rise in the visitor numbers from these regions. In collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, UWP participated in several national and international roadshows to increase awareness and to promote ticket sales. Roadshows such as the local “Amazing Thailand Grand Sale Fair” in July 2012 and the overseas “Amazing Thailand Products Presentation 2012” in Vietnam proved to be effective platforms from which UWP was able to reach out to local and overseas visitors respectively. 24 Leveraging publicity to raise its profile and reach, UWP continued working with media producers to feature the oceanarium. This year, UWP was featured in a travel programme broadcast on True Vision, the most popular cable network television in Thailand. As part of the product renewal to enhance visitors’ experience and to boost attendance, UWP launched three new exhibit zones: The Jellyfish World, a state-of-theart jellyfish display incorporating a lights-and-sounds show, a new trail of the Oceanic Cave featuring unique marine animals, and a new contemporary gift shop, known as the Crystal Palace, offering unique glittery costume jewelleries in between the goldfish exhibits. The addition of new exhibits, in particular the Jellyfish World — the first of its kind in Thailand — renewed the interest of the locals in UWP and resulted in more visitations. The improvements of existing tourist attractions and the opening of new attractions in Pattaya, as well as the direct competition from other aquariums will continue to be a threat to UWP. However, with regular plans to offer new innovative products and services, the risks may be mitigated. To stay ahead of the competition, UWP will continue to invest in product renewal to improve visitors’ experience. Marketing will continue to be the main focus area next year as UWP strives to maintain, if not increase, its market share in the competitive tourism industry. Given the prime location of UWP and the increasing popularity of Pattaya City as one of the major tourist destinations, the prospect of UWP is deemed to be optimistic.

Hong Kong Our properties performed at a level similar to the previous year and the overall commitment levels for our properties in 2013 are healthy. The property segments in which we operate continue to face oversupply amid general economic uncertainty that still looms large. Nevertheless, any potential adverse impact on the performance of our properties will in some way be mitigated by their good locations and management’s resilience against tenancy fluctuations. the guidance of the Investment Committee.

Underwater World Singapore treated the elderly to a �brunch with the fishes’ at the Tunnel in celebration of the International Women’s Day. Community We believe that one should have compassion for the underprivileged and give back to the community of which one is a part. 26 I n l i n e w i t h t h e G r o u p ’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, we have made contributions to charitable organisations and educational concerns. Some of these included t h e S i n g a p o r e P r e s i d e n t ’s Challenge 2012, the Lee Kuan Yew Fund for Bilingualism, the Singapore’s Heritage Society, and the Science Centre’s Singapore Time Capsule Project. Haw Par Healthcare (HPH) continues supporting the “Gift from the Heart”, a caring labour movement initiated by the National Trades Union Congress of Singapore (NTUC) that brings relief to low income union workers and their families. By giving the landscaping maintenance contract to The Helping Hands, a halfway house in Singapore that helps ex-offenders reintegrate into society, Underwater World Singapore (UWS) provided work opportunities to those in need of a second chance in life. HPH offered product sponsorships from its Tiger Balm range to various causes in 2012 that included nursing homes caring for underprivileged elderly and aged sick in Singapore such as the Lions Home for the Elders, the Evergreen Home and St Theresa’s Home. These gifts certainly help relieved the aches and pains of the residents and enhancing their wellbeing. One of the paintings drawn �underwater’ at the Tunnel in Underwater World Singapore by a student from Assumption Pathway School to raise funds for a charity. To play a role in building a compassionate society, HPH also supported various students’ initiatives to help the less fortunate. The Project I.Can organised by the Red Cross Chapter at the Singapore Management University is one of the examples in which Tiger Balm products were distributed by the university students along with other necessities to needy families. Promoting healthy lifestyles has always been a priority for HPH. In 2012, HPH encouraged active living through its endorsement of numerous mass runs and sport events in many markets such as Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, India and the United States. Events supported by HPH ranged from small community events to international marathons with tens of thousands of participants. The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer — a 2-day walk that was held in San Francisco, Chicago and New York to raise awareness about breast cancer was one of the events supported by HPH in 2012. Furthermore, to encourage the spirit of sports, HPH supported Dipna Lim-Prasad, the Singapore Participants at the Finish line for the AVON Walk for Breast Cancer held in New York, the United States.

In March 2012, UWS supported two meaningful causes, offering the gift of happiness to the elderly and the hospice patients. In support of the International Women’s Day, UWS hosted elderly from 3 senior activity centres to a unique brunch experience at its oceanarium. The elderly enjoyed a special �brunch with the sharks’ on the 83-metre long travellator as they passed through the iconic underwater tunnel. In addition, roses were given to the elderly women as a mark of respect and appreciation for the contributions of women to the family and the society. UWS hosted a number of charity visits and events in 2012, including a unique fundraising event by the students of The Assumption Pathway School (APS) named the SCUBA challenge or “Saving and Conserving the Underwater Biodiversity through Arts”. The challenge for the students was to create underwater paintings in the UWS tunnel and to sell these paintings to raise funds for a local conservation group. In October 2012, 10 students from different races dived into the UWS tunnel and sketched various scenes and marine animals they saw in the tunnel. Funds raised from the sales of the paintings were donated to the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research at the National University of Singapore. More than 30 HCA Hospice patients with life-limiting conditions, including end-stage cancer, were hosted at UWS for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Their visit allowed UWS to offer them comfort, happiness and hope through interacting with the adorable pink dolphins and fur seals. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 27 Student journalists from Fernvale Primary School interviewing Curator Anthony Chang at the launch of the Zebra Horn Shark exhibit in Underwater World Singapore. Environment The Group maintained its support for the conservation of tigers in several countries. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), 97% of wild tigers were lost in just over a century and as few as 3,200 exist in the wild today. To raise awareness on the importance of wildlife conservation and to support conservation education, the Group continued with its sponsorship of the Malayan Tiger Exhibit at the Night Safari and the Leopard Exhibit at the Singapore Zoo. Haw Par is a sponsor of the Malayan Tiger exhibit at the Night Safari in Singapore since 1995. As part of the efforts towards marine conservation, Underwater World Singapore (UWS) and Underwater World Pattaya (UWP) held a series of activities with the aim to promote awareness, understanding and appreciation of the urgent need to conserve marine biodiversity and to protect our oceans and the Earth. In May 2012, UWP collaborated with Dive Tribe — an environmental organisation in Pattaya and Mermaid Kat — former Miss Germany and a free diver to educate the public about the dangers of 28 marine debris. Mermaid Kat, in a mermaid costume, dived into the UWP’s tunnel without scuba equipment, while her partner diver from Dive Tribe unfurled the conservation message — “Stop the Pollution”. The goal was to inspire children and adults alike to appreciate the beauty of the ocean’s realm and to play a role in protecting this fragile planet. In August 2012, UWP joined hands again with Dive Tribe and Mermaid Kat for a “Swim for Sharks” event in which Mermaid Kat and her sister mermaids — fellow free divers dived into the UWP Tunnel to swim with the sharks and interact with the visitors while calling for the conservation of sharks. The visitors were fascinated by the appearance of graceful mermaids at UWP and both events were widely reported in the global media. UWS has been successful in breeding 5 species of sharks: Bamboo Shark, Black-tip Reef Shark, White-tip Reef Shark, Nurse Shark Left: To raise awareness on shark conservation, Underwater World Pattaya collaborated with Dive Tribe to organise the Swim for Sharks event.

The baby shark was nicknamed “Sharline” and was featured in The Straits Times, Singapore’s main English language newspaper. Displayed in its own protected rocky pool during the festive season, Baby Sharline attracted visitors’ attention. Both UWS and UWP continued to redefine the classroom through their range of edutainment programmes that engage students at a whole new level. At the launch of the Zebra Horn Shark exhibit in May 2012, UWS invited student journalists from Fernvale Primary School to deepen their understanding about sharks and marine conservation through an interview with the UWS Curator. In 2012, UWP installed multimedia tablets at its underwater tunnel, offering information on its aquatic animals in a fully interactive manner. In October 2012, UWS’ Living in the Ocean Sleepover programme was selected by the Singapore Tourism Board as one of the top 3 enrichment experiences in Singapore for its unique programming that enables children and adults alike to reconnect with nature and to appreciate the importance of marine conservation. Under the collaboration between UWS and the Singapore Science Centre, the Sleepover programme was offered to families as one of the Open House programmes for the Singapore Science Festival in August 2012. Participants toured the aquarium at night, conducted scientific experiments and slept under a blanket of marine fishes and sharks at the UWS tunnel. the Bachelor of Environmental Studies of National University of Singapore visited UWS for a study trip. The delegation exchanged views with the UWS team on aquarium management. In 2012, UWS in the continuation of its pledge to support the Earth Hour did its part by switching off the lights on the facades during Earth Hour, 8.30pm to 9.30pm on 31 March 2012. To align with this year’s theme — “Earth Hour – Uniting People to Protect the Planet”, UWS incorporated the Earth Hour’s conservation message in all its commentaries, calling for visitors to “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”. UWS also hosted several educational visits to promote conservation education. In July 2012, UWS welcomed some 500 students who came from around the world to compete in the International Biology Olympiad 2012. The students were treated to a behindthe-scene tour that introduced them to the science of animal care.

Group earnings increased by 50% to $120.0 million mainly due to exceptional gains from associated companies and higher valuation gains of investment properties. The impairment of our Chengdu Oceanarium also resulted in lower earnings last year. Excluding the valuation gains and the one-off impairment loss last year, earnings would have been 4% higher than 2011, attributable to higher profits from operations and associated companies, which were offset by lower investment income received during the financial year. 30 With higher earnings registered for the year, earnings per share increased to 60.6 cents (2011: 40.3 cents). Net tangible assets per share increased to $11.31 (2011: $8.98) due to higher market valuations of available-for-sale financial assets.

The ROA measures profitability of assets utilised by the various operations. In 2012, ROA increased from 4.3% to 5.8%, mainly due to higher earnings. ROA of healthcare division improved from 16.7% to 17.4%, a result of higher profits. The higher ROA of Leisure division of 17.2% (2011: 13.0%) is mainly due to higher operating loss of Chengdu Oceanarium last year. ROA of Property division at 6.6% (2011: 7.2%) dipped slightly due to lower profits and an increase in valuation of assets. The decline in ROA of the investment division from 3.7% to 3.0% is in tandem with the lower income and larger asset base due to higher market valuations.

Denotes Chairman of the Board/Board Committee Mr Chng Hwee Hong retired from the Board on 25 April 2012. Directors are appointed by way of formal letters of appointment which set out their duties and obligations. The Company has an orientation program for newly appointed Directors to be briefed on their duties and responsibilities. The program includes training, where required, and also meetings with key personnel for directors to understand the Group’s businesses, governance practices, strategic plans and objectives. Site visits are conducted as needed. The Company arranges and funds training of Directors, if needed. 38 Board Composition The Board considers its present size of ten directors appropriate for the current scope and nature of the Group’s operations. The Nominating Committee (“NC”) has reviewed the composition of the present Board and is satisfied that the directors, as a group, possess core competencies in accounting, finance, management experience and necessary industry knowledge. Key information on the Directors, including their date of first appointment, date of last re-appointment and other directorships and principal commitments, can be found on pages 6 to 9 of this Annual Report. The NC, having regard to the Code’s guidance for assessing independence, has determined that six of the Non-Executive Directors, namely Mr Sat Pal Khattar, Dr Lee Suan Yew, Mr Hwang Soo Jin, Mr Reggie Thein, Dr Chew Kia Ngee and Mr Peter Sim are independent in character and judgement, as indicated in Table 1 above. There are no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect, or could appear to affect, such Non-Executive Directors’ judgements. Although four of the directors, namely Mr Sat Pal Khattar, Dr Lee Suan Yew, Mr Hwang Soo Jin and Mr Reggie Thein have served as Non-Executive Directors for more than nine years each, the NC is of the view that their performance, in spite of their tenure of service, has not diminished their objectivity in their discharge of their duties and they can continue to be designated as independent directors. The Board will continue to look for new members to its Board who can serve the Board as older members step down. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer There is a clear division of the role and responsibilities between the non-executive Chairman of the Board (“Chairman”) and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is the son of the Chairman. The Chairman’s principal role is to lead and guide the Board while the CEO executes the strategic directions set by the Board and is responsible for the Group’s day-to-day operations. Although the Chairman and CEO are related, the Board is of the opinion that it is not necessary to appoint a lead independent director as shareholders may approach any independent director for assistance through the Company Secretary. Nominating Committee The NC comprises three members, namely, Mr Sat Pal Khattar, Dr Wee Cho Yaw and Dr Lee Suan Yew. The majority of the NC, including the chairman of the NC, Mr Sat Pal Khattar, are independent Directors. The principal responsibilities of the NC are to: • Appoint and reappoint Directors and key executives, including the CEO; • Review the composition of the Board and its Board Committees; • Perform succession planning; • Assess the independence of Directors; • Evaluate the performance of the Board and Board Committees; and • Review training and professional development programs for Directors. Each year, the NC reviews the composition of the Board as part of its succession planning. The NC assesses potential candidates, taking into account the existing board composition, the candidate’s background, qualification, experience, time commitment and his / her ability to contribute to the Board’s collective skills, knowledge and experience. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 39 Corporate Governance The NC makes annual recommendations to the Board on the re-appointment of Directors having regard to their contributions and performance on a qualitative basis. Each year, one-third of the Board retires from office by rotation and may submit themselves for re-election. Directors who are above the age of 70 are subject to annual re-appointment at the AGM. Board Performance The NC evaluated and assessed the effectiveness of the Board’s performance as a whole taking into consideration, amongst other things, the Board’s discharge of its principal responsibilities, earnings of the Group, return on equity and the share price performance of the Company over a five year period. The NC is of the opinion that the Board as a whole had performed well during the year. The NC evaluated and reviewed the performance of the Board Committees (except the NC itself). It is satisfied with the frequency, contents of each meeting and as disclosed in this Annual Report. The Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the NC evaluated the collective performance, commitment and contribution of all Directors on a qualitative basis. They also reviewed the contribution of the Executive Directors, and are of the view that the performance of each of them has been satisfactory. In its review of Directors’ ability to commit the necessary hours to the Company’s affairs, the NC considered whether or not a limit on the number of other listed boards Directors could sit on was necessary. The NC decided that it was not necessary to prescribe a limit of the number of other boards that Directors of the Company sit on as the NC believed that the Directors can effectively handle their responsibilities. Access to Information Directors have unfettered access to complete and timely information on the Group’s financials and operations. Adequate information is provided to Directors to enable them to make informed decisions. Matters requiring Board’s decision are sent to Directors at least five working days prior to Board meetings. Board meetings for each year are scheduled at least three months in advance with urgent Board meetings, if needed, at least five days in advance. The Board is also provided with opportunities to meet with managers and heads of divisions to deepen its understanding of the businesses. Directors have separate, independent and unrestricted access to the Company Secretary for assistance. The Company Secretary ensures that board procedures are followed and the rules and regulations applicable to the Board are complied with. Directors may take independent professional advice, if necessary and with the approval of the Chairman, at the Company’s expense to carry out their duties. Under the Articles of Association of the Company, the decision to appoint or remove the Company Secretary rests with the Board as a whole. 40 REMUNERATION MATTERS Procedures for Developing Remuneration Policies The Remuneration Committee (“RC”) comprises three members, namely Mr Sat Pal Khattar, Dr Wee Cho Yaw and Mr Hwang Soo Jin. The majority of the RC, including the chairman of the RC, Mr Sat Pal Khattar, are independent Directors. The RC is supported by Group Human Resource and/or external consultants if needed. The principal responsibilities of the RC are: a) to recommend to the Board a general framework of remuneration for Directors and key executives; b) to recommend to the Board the remuneration of Directors; c) to review the remuneration packages for key executives; and d) to administer the Company’s share option scheme. During the year, the RC reviewed the amount of Directors’ fees to be paid to the Non-Executive Directors. It also assessed the performance and determined the bonus and salary components for the Executive Directors and reviewed the remuneration packages for key executives and share options to eligible staff and the terms thereof. The RC has reviewed the Group’s obligations arising in the event of termination of the Executive Directors’ and key executives’ service contracts, to ensure that such service contracts contain fair and reasonable termination clauses which are not overly generous. Level and Mix of Remuneration The RC takes into consideration current industry norms on compensation and adopts a remuneration policy in line with industry practices. None of the Non-Executive Directors have any service contract or consultancy agreement with the Company. Non-Executive Directors, including the Chairman of the Board, are paid directors’ fees which comprise a basic fee and additional fees for serving on Board Committees. The RC recommends Directors’ fees to the Board for endorsement prior to submission to shareholders for approval at each annual general meeting. The Company’s share option scheme allows for grants of share options to Non-Executive Directors although to-date, the Non-Executive Directors have not been granted any share options to-date. The Group remunerates its employees at competitive and appropriate levels, commensurate with their performance and contributions. The remuneration framework comprises fixed and variable compensation, provident fund and other long-term incentives. A variable bonus scheme is in place that determines the bonus pool to be appropriated from each year’s earnings for employees of the Group. The scheme has a good balance of both current year earnings and long-term sustainability / growth of the respective businesses. In the annual review of remuneration of the CEO and Executive Directors, the RC takes into consideration performance of the individuals and comparative remuneration of similarly placed persons in the market. The performance-related elements of the remuneration are designed to align interests of Executive Directors with shareholders generally. The performance criteria include achievement of financial objectives using financial indicators like profitability and return of assets over a period of time. Their remuneration packages include a variable bonus element, which is performance based and these are reviewed annually by the RC. Share options are granted to the Executive Directors and eligible key executives which can only be exercised after the relevant vesting period. More information on the Haw Par Corporation Group 2002 Share Option Scheme can be found in the Directors’ Report and Note 27(b) to the financial statements. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 41 Corporate Governance Disclosure of Remuneration The details of the remuneration of each individual Director for FY 2012 are as follows: Table 2: Directors’ Fees Base or fixed salary Variable bonus Benefitin-kind and others % % % % – 58 34 – 56 Wee Cho Yaw 100 Sat Pal Khattar Name Share options Total granted % No. of shares 8 100 – 29 15 100 48,000 – – – 100 – 100 – – – 100 – Reggie Thein 100 – – – 100 – Hwang Soo Jin 100 – – – 100 – Lee Suan Yew 100 – – – 100 – Chew Kia Ngee 100 – – – 100 – Peter Sim Swee Yam 100 – – – 100 – Wee Ee-chao 100 – – – 100 – Chng Hwee Hong (1) – 81 – 19 100 36,000 $1,000,001 to $1,200,000 Wee Ee Lim $400,001 to $600,000 Han Ah Kuan Below $200,000 Note: (1) Mr Chng Hwee Hong retired from the Board on 25 April 2012. Remuneration of Key Executives The remuneration of each of the top five executives of the Group (who are not Directors) falls within the range of S$200,001 to S$400,000. The total remuneration paid to these top five executives is between $1,200,000 and 1,400,000. Disclosures are not made in exact amounts and identities of key executives are not made due to confidentiality reasons. There is no employee (other than the CEO) who is an immediate family member of a Director or the CEO. A relative of the CEO, Mr Kelvin Whang, who is the General Manager of Underwater World Pattaya was paid an annual remuneration of between $150,000 to $300,000. 42 ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT Audit Committee (“AC”) The AC comprises four members, namely, Mr Reggie Thein, Mr Hwang Soo Jin, Dr Lee Suan Yew and Dr Chew Kia Ngee, all of whom are independent non-executive Directors. The chairman of the AC, Mr Reggie Thein and one other AC member, Dr Chew Kia Ngee, are senior accountants with over 40 years’ experience in the profession while the rest of the members have substantial business experience. The principal responsibilities of the AC are: • review and approve the audit plans of the internal and external auditors; • consider the auditors’ evaluation of the system of internal controls; • recommend the appointment, re-appointment and removal of external auditors and approve the compensation of the external auditors; • review annually the independence and objectivity of the external auditors, the cost effectiveness of the audit, and the nature and extent of non-audit services; • review and ensure adequacy, independence, effectiveness and objectivity of the internal audit function; • review the Group’s quarterly and full year results and annual financial statements for approval by the Board, and the appropriateness and consistency of accounting principles and policies adopted across the Group, including significant financial reporting issues and judgements; • review the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls, addressing financial, operational and compliance risks and risk management processes; • review interested person transactions; and • review whistle-blowing reports. The AC has full authority to investigate any matter on issues of internal controls, suspected fraud or irregularity. It has full access to and cooperation of the management and full discretion to invite any staff to attend its meetings. The AC adopts key principles from “Guidebook for Audit Committee in Singapore”, issued by the Audit Committee Guidance Committee in Singapore in 2008. During the year, the AC held four meetings. It met the external and internal auditors separately in the absence of management. In the review of non-audit services, the AC was satisfied that non-material possible conflicts would not affect the independence of the external auditors. The AC has confirmed that it has complied with Rule 712 and Rule 715/716 which set out the requirements on suitability of auditor. The AC has recommended to the Board to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors for financial year 2013. The aggregate amount of fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for FY2012 and the breakdown of fees paid in total for audit and non-audit services were $376,000 and $163,000 respectively. The AC members are continuously updated on changes to accounting standards and issues which have a direct impact on financial statements and relevant legislation and accounting-related matters. Whistle Blowing Policy The Company has a whistle-blowing policy and process for employees to report to the AC Committee any improprieties or suspected wrong-doing by the management or staff without fear of reprisal. All reports received are accorded confidentiality and independently investigated by the whistle blowing unit comprising the Group Human Resource Manager and Group Internal Audit Manager. Details of the whistle blowing policy are posted in the Company’s intranet for staff reference and new employees are briefed on this policy during their orientation. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 43 Corporate Governance Internal Audit The Company has an internal audit (“IA”) department which is staffed with professionally qualified personnel. The Group Internal Audit Manager reports to the Chairman of the AC on audit matters and to the CEO on administrative matters. The appointment and removal of the Group Internal Audit Manager rest with the Chairman of the AC. The IA follows the Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing set by the Institute of Internal Auditors. IA adopts strict procedures in reporting its audit findings to the management and AC. The role of IA is to render support to the AC in ensuring that the Group maintains a sound system of internal controls by performing regular monitoring and testing of key controls and procedures, reviewing all operational and financial activities and undertaking investigations as requested by AC. The IA submits its internal audit plan to the AC for approval at the beginning of each year. Internal audit reviews are carried out on all significant business units in the Group and a summary of findings and recommendations is discussed during each AC meeting. The IA has unfettered access to the AC and to all documents, reports, properties and personnel for the purposes of its audit. The AC is of the view that the internal audit function is adequately resourced and has appropriate standing within the Company. Risk Management and Internal Controls The Group has established a formal risk management framework across the entire organisation to provide a structured approach for managing risks. The framework enables management to have a formal structure and a standardised process in risk management reporting. The framework is designed to be aligned with the Group’s strategic, operational, reporting and compliance objectives. Major operational risks such as competition, manufacturing capability, regulatory compliance and business interruption are managed by leveraging on the Group’s experience and knowledge of local market conditions, taking out appropriate insurance coverage, and having effective business continuity plans. Financial risks are mitigated by using appropriate hedging instruments when necessary and actively managing foreign exchange and credit exposures. Further details on managing financial risks are disclosed in Note 28 on Page 99 of the Annual Report. The Risk Management Committee, chaired by the CEO and comprising four other senior key executives (including one Executive Director and the Chief Financial Officer), oversees various aspects of control and risk management policies and processes of the Group. It reviews risk management parameters across the Group and reports to the AC on its findings and actions taken to address the key risks identified. It considers risk identification and its impact on the Group. Risks are analysed and assessed in terms of risk impact and risk likelihood. Management evaluates the options and controls needed to deal with identified risks, depending on the risk impact, likelihood and related costs and benefits. Key risks are agreed with the Board and testing performed to ensure controls are in place. Based on work performed by the internal and external auditors and reviews undertaken by the Risk Management Committee and the AC, the Board, with the concurrence of the AC, is reasonably satisfied that the internal controls addressing financial, operational, compliance risks and risk management processes are generally adequate for the Group as at 31 December 2012. The Group’s internal controls and risk management systems provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the Group will not be adversely affected by any reasonably foreseeable event. The Board recognises that no system of internal controls and risk management can provide absolute assurances. 44 Shareholders Matters Communication of relevant announcements of the Group is generally made through annual reports, press releases, SGXNET announcements and its corporate website at www.hawpar.com.

The Chairman and the other Directors (in particular, the chairpersons of the AC, NC and RC) as well as the external auditors are present at such general meetings to address all queries from shareholders on various matters affecting the Group and the conduct of external audit. Key management personnel are also present at such general meetings to respond to queries from the shareholders. The reception after each general meeting of shareholders provides an opportunity for shareholders to informally communicate their views and expectations to the Company’s representatives. The Company’s Articles of Association allow a shareholder to appoint one or two proxies to attend and vote at the Company’s general meetings of shareholders. Separate resolutions on each distinct issue are tabled at such general meetings.

On behalf of the Board Wee Cho Yaw Chairman Singapore 27 February 2013 52 Wee Ee Lim President & Chief Executive Officer Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Haw Par Corporation Limited for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Haw Par Corporation Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 55 to 112, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group and statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2012, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and statements of financial position and to maintain accountability of assets. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 53 Independent Auditor’s Report (continued) To the Members of Haw Par Corporation Limited for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2012, and of the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group for the financial year ended on that date. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore, of which we are the auditors, have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 61 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements. 1.General Haw Par Corporation Limited (the “Company”) is incorporated and domiciled in Singapore and is listed on the Singapore Exchange. The address of its registered office is as follows: 401 Commonwealth Drive #03-03 Haw Par Technocentre Singapore 149598 The Company is the owner of the “Tiger” trademarks and is the holding company of the Group. The principal activities of the Company are licensing of the “Tiger” trademarks and owning investments for long term holding purposes. The principal activities of the Group are as follows: (a) manufacturing, marketing and trading healthcare products; (b) providing leisure-related goods and services; and (c) investing in properties and securities. 2.Significant accounting policies (a) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. An area involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, is disclosed in Note 3. Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2012 On 1 January 2012, the Group adopted the new or amended FRS and Interpretations to FRS (“INT FRS”) that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INT FRS. The adoption of these new or revised FRS and INT FRS did not result in substantial changes to the Group’s and Company’s accounting policies and has no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior financial years except for the adoption of the amendment to FRS 12. On 1 January 2012, the Group adopted the amendments to FRS 12 Income Taxes which are relevant and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012. The amendment introduces a presumption that an investment property measured at fair value is recoverable entirely through its sale. Previously, the Group had recognised deferred tax liabilities on revaluation of its investment properties. Under the amendment, the deferred tax liabilities on the Group’s investment properties will be recognised on the basis of recovery through sale. This change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively. Accordingly, the comparatives have been restated. 62 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2012 (continued) The effects on the comparatives arising from the adoption of the amendments to FRS 12 are as follows: Effect on consolidated statement of financial position 31/12/2012 S$’000 Revenue reserve Deferred income tax liabilities Group 31/12/2011 31/12/2010 S$’000 S$’000 Increase/(Decrease) 12,959 (12,959) 9,036 (9,036) 9,999 (9,999) Effect on consolidated income statement Group 2012 2011 S$’000 S$’000 Increase/(Decrease) Taxation Profit attributable to: Equity holders of the Company Earnings per share attributable to equity holders of the Company –Basic –Diluted (3,923) 966 3,923  Cents 1.98 1.98 (966)  Cents (0.49) (0.49) The Group has also early adopted the amendment to FRS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income on 1 January 2012. The amendment is applicable retrospectively to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012 with early adoption permitted. It requires items presented in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to be separated into two groups, based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. The amendment to FRS 1 has no impact on the statement of financial position. (b) Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and rendering of services, in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities, net of goods and services tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as follows: (1) Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when a Group entity has transferred to the customer the significant risks and rewards of the ownership of the goods, and collectibility of the related receivables is reasonably assured. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 63 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (b) Revenue recognition (continued) (2) Rendering of services Revenue from services is recognised upon rendering of services. (3) Interest income Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. (4) Dividend income Dividend income from subsidiaries, associated companies and available-for-sale financial assets is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. (5) Rental income Rental income from operating leases on investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (c) Group accounting (1) Subsidiaries (i) Consolidation Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to a majority of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to the interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the equity holders of the Company. They are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests based on their respective interests in a subsidiary, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. (ii) Acquisitions The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary or business comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. 64 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Group accounting (continued) (1) Subsidiaries (continued) (ii) Acquisitions (continued) Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Please refer to Note 2(e)(1) for the Group’s accounting policy on goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries. (iii) Disposals When a change in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control over the subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary including any goodwill are derecognised. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are also reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings if required by a specific Standard. Any retained equity interest in the entity is remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest at the date when control is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss. (2) Transactions with non-controlling interests Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Company. Any difference between the change in the carrying amounts of the non-controlling interest and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised within equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company. Please refer to Note 2(g) for the Company’s accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies. (3) Associated companies Associated companies are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between and including 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting less impairment losses, if any. Investments in associated companies in the consolidated statement of financial position include goodwill (net of accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition, where applicable. Please refer to Note 2(e)(1) for the Group’s accounting policy on goodwill. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 65 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Group accounting (continued) (3) Associated companies (continued) (i) Acquisitions Investments in associated companies are initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Goodwill on associated companies represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of the associate over the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the associate and is included in the carrying amount of the investments. (ii) Equity method of accounting In applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of its associated companies’ post-acquisition profits or losses are recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. These post-acquisition movements and distributions received from the associated companies are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in an associated company equals or exceeds its interest in the associated company, including any other unsecured non-current receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has obligations to make or has made payments on behalf of the associated company. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associated companies. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of associated companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. (iii) Disposals Gains and losses arising from partial disposals or dilutions in investments in associated companies in which significant influence is retained are recognised in profit or loss. Investments in associated companies are derecognised when the Group loses significant influence. Any retained equity interest in the entity is remeasured at its fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest at the date when significant influence is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss. Please refer to Note 2(g) for the Company’s accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies. (d) Property, plant and equipment (1) Leasehold land and buildings Leasehold land and buildings are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses (Note 2(h)(2)). 66 (2) Other property, plant and equipment Plant, equipment, furniture, vehicles and marine livestock are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses (Note 2(h)(2)). Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) Property, plant and equipment (continued) (3) Components of costs The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The projected cost of dismantlement, removal or restoration is also included as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset. (4)Depreciation Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method to allocate the depreciable amounts of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows: Leasehold land and buildings – 50 years or over the term of the lease, whichever is shorter Plant, equipment, furniture and vehicles – 4 to 10 years Marine livestock – 5 years Construction-in-progress assets are not depreciated until they are brought to use. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use. The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each financial year-end to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. The effects of any revision are recognised in the profit or loss for the financial year in which the changes arise. (5) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expense is recognised in the profit or loss when incurred. (6)Disposal On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in the profit or loss. (e) Intangible assets (1)Goodwill Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries and business on or after 1 January 2010 represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses prior to 1 January 2010 and on acquisition of associated companies represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of their identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 67 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (e) Intangible assets (continued) (1) Goodwill (continued) Goodwill on subsidiaries is recognised separately as intangible assets and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill on associated companies is included in the carrying amount of the investments. Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold, except for goodwill arising from acquisitions prior to 1 January 2001. Such goodwill was adjusted against retained profits in the year of acquisition and is not recognised in profit or loss on disposal. (2) Trademarks Trademarks are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (Note 2(h)(2)). Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of trademarks over a period not exceeding 20 years. These have been fully amortised as at the end of the reporting period. (3) Deferred expenditure Deferred expenditure comprises technology fee paid in advance, clinical trial expenses and television advertisement production costs, which are recognised as assets as they generate future economic benefits. Technology fee expense paid in advance for the use of a third party’s technology is amortised using the straight line method over the period of the contract with the third party. Clinical trial expenses incurred for product registrations are amortised using the straight line method over a 5-year period. Television advertisement production costs are amortised using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of approximately 2-3 years. The amortisation period and amortisation method of intangible assets other than goodwill are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. The effects of any revision are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise. (f) Investment properties Investment properties of the Group, principally comprising office and industrial buildings, are held for long-term rental yields and/or capital appreciation and are not substantially occupied by the Group. Investment properties are classified as non-current assets, initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at fair value, determined annually by independent professional valuers on the highest-andbest-use basis. Changes in fair values are recognised in profit or loss. Investment properties are subject to renovations or improvements at regular intervals. The cost of major renovations and improvements is capitalised as additions and the carrying amounts of the replaced components are written off to profit or loss. The cost of maintenance, repairs and minor improvements is charged to profit or loss when incurred. On disposal of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. 68 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (g) Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses (Note 2(h)(2)) in the Company’s statement of financial position. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the net investments are recognised in profit or loss. (h) Impairment of non-financial assets (1) Goodwill Goodwill, recognised separately as an intangible asset, is tested annually for impairment and whenever there is any indication that the goodwill may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units (“CGU”) expected to benefit from synergies of the business combination. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of CGU, including the goodwill, exceeds the recoverable amount of the CGU. Recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use. The total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognised in profit or loss and is not reversed in a subsequent period. (2)Intangible assets, Property, plant and equipment and Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are reviewed for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 69 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (i) Financial assets (1) Classification The Group classifies its investments in financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables, available-for-sale and at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the nature of the asset and the purpose for which the assets have been acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Investments in convertible bonds are analysed into its non-derivative host contract debt securities and its embedded derivative. The non-derivative host contract is accounted for as financial assets, available-for-sale and its embedded derivative is accounted for as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. (i) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except those maturing later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. (ii) Financial assets, available-for-sale Financial assets, available-for-sale are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. (iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are presented as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period. (2) Recognition and derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On disposal of a financial asset, the difference between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Any amount in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve relating to that asset is reclassified to profit or loss. (3) Initial measurement Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognised at fair value. Transaction costs for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately as expenses. 70 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (i) Financial assets (continued) (4) Subsequent measurement Financial assets, both available-for-sale and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Changes in fair values of available-for-sale equity securities (i.e. non-monetary items) denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve, together with the related currency translation differences (except for hedged amounts). Dividend income on available-for-sale equity securities is recognised separately in profit or loss and in accordance with Note 2(b)(4). For investments in the non-derivative host contract of the convertible bonds, interest is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognised in profit or loss as interest income. Changes in the fair value of these non-derivative host contracts are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise. (5)Impairment The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists. (i) Loans and receivables Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant delay in payments are objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired. The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in profit or loss. The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through profit or loss in a subsequent period when the amount of impairment loss decreases and the related decrease can be objectively measured. The carrying amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed the amortised cost had no impairment been recognised in prior periods. (ii) Financial assets, available-for-sale In addition to the objective evidence of impairment described in Note 2(i)(5)(i), a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an equity security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 71 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (i) Financial assets (continued) (5)Impairment (continued) (ii) Financial assets, available-for-sale (continued) If any evidence of impairment exists, the cumulative loss that was previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The cumulative loss is measured as the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayments and amortisation) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised as an expense. The impairment losses recognised as an expense on equity securities are not reversed through profit or loss. (j) Inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but exclude borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and applicable variable selling expenses. (k) Operating leases (1) When a group company is the lessee: Leases of property, plant and equipment where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership is retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place. (2) When a group company is the lessor: Leases of investment properties to third parties where the Group assumes substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made by the lessee by way of penalty is recognised as an income in the period in which termination takes place, provided collection is reasonably assured. (l) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. (m) Income taxes Current income tax for current and prior periods are recognised at the amounts expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. 72 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (m) Income taxes (continued) Deferred income tax are recognised for all deductible/taxable temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Deferred income tax is measured: (i)at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period; and (ii) based on the tax consequence that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expenses in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction, which is recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition. (n) Employee benefits (1) Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities such as Central Provident Fund on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The Group’s contribution are recognised as employee expense when they are due, unless they can be capitalised as an asset. (2) Share-based compensation The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding increase in share option reserve within equity over the vesting period. The total amount to be recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted on the date of grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of estimates in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the share option reserve over the remaining vesting period. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 73 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (o) Hedging activities The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, on whether the derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items. A non-derivative financial asset or non-derivative financial liability may be designated as a hedging instrument for a hedge of a foreign currency risk. The fair value changes on the hedged item resulting from currency risk are recognised in profit or loss. The fair value changes on the portion of the hedging instrument designated as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss within the same line item as the fair value changes from the hedged item. (p) Fair value estimation The fair values of current financial assets and liabilities, carried at amortised cost, are assumed to approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as exchange-traded and overthe-counter securities and derivatives) are based on quoted market prices obtained from stock exchange at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market prices used for financial assets held by the Group are the current bid prices; the appropriate quoted market prices for financial liabilities are the current asking prices. The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods such as estimated discounted cash flow analyses. (q) Currency translation (1) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Singapore Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. (2) Transactions and balances Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Currency translation gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the end of the reporting period are recognised in profit or loss, except for currency translation differences on the net investment in foreign operations, borrowings in foreign currencies and other currency instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges for foreign operations, which are included in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve within equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of or any borrowings forming part of the net investment of the foreign operation are repaid, a proportionate share of the accumulated translation differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on disposal. 74 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (q) Currency translation (continued) (2) Transactions and balances (continued) Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined. Currency translation differences on non-monetary items whereby gains or losses are recognised in other comprehensive income, such as equity investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve. (3) Translation of Group entities’ financial statements The results and financial position of Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that are in functional currencies different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i)Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rates at the reporting date; (ii)Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case, income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and (ii) All resulting currency exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in currency translation reserve within equity. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity on or after 1 January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rates at the date of the end of the reporting date. For acquisitions prior to 1 January 2005, the exchange rates at the dates of the acquisition are used. (r) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Committee and Investment Committee whose members are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. (s) Cash and cash equivalents For purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, deposits with financial institutions, bank overdrafts, if any and excludes bank deposits pledged as security. (t) Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account. When the Company’s ordinary shares are repurchased, the weighted average cost of each share is written off against the share capital, with the remaining amounts written off against the retained earnings of the Company. (u) Dividends Dividends to the Company’s shareholders are recognised when the dividends are approved by the shareholders. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 75 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 2.Significant accounting policies (continued) (v) Government grants Grants from the government are recognised as a receivable at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions. Government grants receivable are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate on a systematic basis. Government grants relating to expenses are shown separately as other income. (w) Financial guarantees The Company had issued corporate guarantees to banks for credit facilities of its subsidiaries. These guarantees are financial guarantee contracts as they require the Company to reimburse the banks if the subsidiaries fail to make principal or interest payments when due in accordance with terms of their credit facilities. Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at their fair values plus transaction costs in the Company’s statement of financial position. Financial guarantee contracts are subsequently amortised to profit or loss over the period of the subsidiaries’ borrowings, unless it is probable that the Company will reimburse the bank for an amount higher than the unamortised amount. In this case, the financial guarantee contracts shall be carried at the expected amount payable to the bank in the Company’s statement of financial position. (x) Borrowings Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. 3.Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal to the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions 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. Impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment The Group tests annually whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2(h)(1) and Note 2(h)(2) respectively. The recoverable amounts of these assets and where applicable, cash-generating units, have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. Based on the positive recoverable amount that exceeded the carrying amount of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, there is no impairment. 76 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 3.Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) Impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment (continued) As the estimates and assumptions used are reasonably conservative, it will require a significant variation to the estimates and assumptions to result in any impairment adjustments. Please refer to Note 16(a) for details on goodwill impairment tests. 4.Revenue Revenue of the Group represents invoiced sales and services, and rental income but excludes dividend income, interest income and intra-group transactions.

The diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares which is share options. A calculation is carried out to determine the number of shares that could have been issued at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. The difference is added to the denominator as an issuance of ordinary shares for no consideration. No adjustment is made to earnings (numerator). 11.Property, plant and equipment Leasehold land and buildings $’000 Plant, equipment, furniture and vehicles $’000 Cost At 1 January 2012 Additions Disposals/write-offs Reclassification of asset Currency translation differences At 31 December 2012 35,432 1,433 (12) 7,891 (592) 44,152 46,568 4,184 (382) 2,513 (251) 52,632 719 46 (52) – (4) 709 10,825 – – (10,404) (421) – 93,544 5,663 (446) – (1,268) 97,493 Accumulated depreciation and impairment losses At 1 January 2012 Charge for 2012 Disposals/write-offs Currency translation differences At 31 December 2012 20,104 1,759 – (212) 21,651 34,966 2,756 (317) (134) 37,271 609 41 (22) (4) 624 – – – – – 55,679 4,556 (339) (350) 59,546 Net book value At 31 December 2012 22,501 15,361 85 – 37,947 Marine Constructionlivestock in-progress $’000 $’000 Total $’000 The Group Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 81 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 11.Property, plant and equipment (continued) Leasehold land and buildings $’000 Plant, equipment, furniture and vehicles $’000 Cost At 1 January 2011 Additions Disposals/write-offs Impairment losses (Note 6) Currency translation differences At 31 December 2011 43,681 1,061 (4) (8,770) (536) 35,432 50,052 3,093 (669) (5,796) (112) 46,568 1,159 125 (556) – (9) 719 2,117 8,604 – – 104 10,825 97,009 12,883 (1,229) (14,566) (553) 93,544 Accumulated depreciation and impairment losses At 1 January 2011 Charge for 2011 Disposals/write-offs Impairment losses (Note 6) Currency translation differences At 31 December 2011 18,973 1,981 (3) (667) (180) 20,104 33,458 3,435 (542) (1,346) (39) 34,966 730 106 (224) – (3) 609 – – – – – – 53,161 5,522 (769) (2,013) (222) 55,679 Net book value At 31 December 2011 15,328 11,602 110 10,825 37,865 Marine Constructionlivestock in-progress $’000 $’000 Total $’000 The Group Included in leasehold land and buildings is land use rights amounting to $1,003,000 (2011: $1,054,000).

During the financial year, the Group has determined that there is no impairment of its CGU containing the goodwill. The recoverable amount (i.e. higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs to sell) of the CGU is determined on the basis of value-in-use calculations. These calculations incorporate cash flow projections by management covering a twenty-year period. Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations: Discount rate 6.3% (2011: 6.74%) Growth rate 0.0% (2011: 0.00%) These assumptions have been used for the analysis of the CGU. The discount rate used is post-tax and reflects specific risks relating to the healthcare division. Management has used a 0% growth rate on grounds of prudence.

The 2002 Scheme was approved by members of the Company on 22 May 2002 and further extended to 2017 on 20 April 2011. The 2002 Scheme grants non-transferable options to selected employees and includes the participation by the non-executive directors. The maximum life-span of exercising the options is 10 years (exercise period). The options are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary from the date when the options are granted or the second anniversary if the options are granted at a discount to the market price under the 2002 Scheme. Once the options are vested, they are exercisable for a period of four years. The options may be exercised in full or in part in respect of 1,000 shares or any multiple thereof, on the payment of the exercise price. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash. The exercise price is equivalent to the average of the last dealt price for the share for five consecutive market days immediately before the offer date (“market price”) at the time of grant and can be set at discounts of up to 20% to the market price under the 2002 Scheme. During the financial year, options for 442,000 shares were granted to qualifying employees on 1 March 2012 (“2012 Options”), of which 365,000 were accepted. The fair value of the options granted using the Trinomial valuation model is approximately $204,000. The significant inputs into the model are exercise price of $5.95 at the grant date, standard deviation of expected share price returns of 14%, 5-year option life and annual risk-free interest rate of 0.2% per annum. The volatility measured at the standard deviation of expected share price returns is based on statistical analysis of daily share prices over a historical period that matches the period to expiry of the options. The 2012 options are exercisable from 1 March 2013 and expire on 28 February 2017.

The Group’s overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the unpredictability of financial markets on the Group’s financial performance. The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of financial risk management for the Group. The Investment Committee then establishes the detailed policies, such as authority levels, oversight responsibilities, risk identification and measurement, exposure limits and hedging strategies, in accordance with the objectives and underlying principles approved by the Board of Directors. Regular reports that contain the Group’s exposure to each type of financial risks are submitted to Investment Committee. (a) Market risk The Group is exposed to market risk, including primarily changes in currency exchange rates and market prices of securities. (1) Foreign currency risk The Group operates in Asia and through agents/distributors in other parts of the world, with dominant operations in Singapore. Entities in the Group regularly transact in currencies other than their respective functional currencies (“foreign currencies”). Currency risk arises when transactions are denominated in foreign currencies such as United States Dollar (“USD”), Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) and Euro. Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 99 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 28.Financial risk management (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) (1) Foreign currency risk (continued) In addition, the Group is also exposed to currency translation risks arising from its foreign currency denominated net financial assets, which are not significant. The Group manages its foreign currency exposures by a policy of matching, as far as possible, receipts and payments in each individual currency. The surplus of convertible currencies are either further matched with future foreign currency requirements or exchanged for Singapore Dollar. The Group also has available forward contract facilities to hedge future foreign exchange exposure. The foreign currency exposure of the Group’s net investment in overseas subsidiaries is managed under the guidance of the Investment Committee. The Group’s currency exposure of financial assets/liabilities net of those denominated in the respective entities’ functional currency based on the information provided to key management is as follows: USD $’000 HKD $’000 Euro $’000 Others $’000 Total $’000 25,768 4,816 (2,915) (23,028) 1,623 35 – (2,213) – – 586 2,251 (2,532) – 1,299 380 26,769 319 7,386 (819) (8,479) – (23,028) 731 3,653 6,264 (2,178) 1,604 611 12,986 4,706 (2,985) (12,407) 502 50 1,905 (1,667) – – 1,662 1,204 (2,256) – 1,729 2,802 288 2,339 Group At 31 December 2012 Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Borrowings Add: Firm Commitments Currency exposure on financial assets and liabilities 6,301 At 31 December 2011 Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Borrowings Add: Firm Commitments Currency exposure on financial assets and liabilities 1,682 16,380 414 8,229 (1,597) (8,505) – (12,407) 65 2,296 564 5,993 The Company does not have material foreign currency exposure as at 31 December 2012 and 2011 except for certain amounts due to a subsidiary denominated in Hong Kong Dollar of $17,877,000 (2011: $19,317,000) and borrowings of $23,028,000 (2011: $12,407,000) denominated in USD. 100 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 28.Financial risk management (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) (1) Foreign currency risk (continued) A 10% (2011: 10%) weakening of Singapore Dollar against the following currencies at reporting date would increase/(decrease) profit or loss by the amounts shown below, with all other variables including tax rate being held constant: USD $’000 HKD $’000 Euro $’000 Others $’000 Total $’000 362 173 (173) – 128 – 49 – 366 173 227 3 24 – 192 – 47 – 490 3 Group At 31 December 2012 Profit or loss, after tax Other comprehensive income At 31 December 2011 Profit or loss, after tax Other comprehensive income A 10% (2011: 10%) strengthening of Singapore Dollar against the above currencies would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant. (2) Market price risk The Group has substantial investments carried at fair value of $1,815.8 million (2011: $1,421.7 million) held in various forms of securities as of 31 December 2012 and have been accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2(i). These securities are mainly listed in Singapore. The Group is not exposed to material commodity price risk. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are categorised as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy as set out in the relevant accounting standard. The market price risk associated with these investments is the potential loss in fair value resulting from the decrease in market prices of securities. If prices for equity and debt securities listed in Singapore and elsewhere change by 10% (2011: 10%) with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the equity and other comprehensive income will be affected by: Haw Par Corporation Limited — annual report 2012 101 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 28.Financial risk management (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) (2) Market price risk (continued) Group Listed in Singapore –increased by –decreased by Listed elsewhere –increased by –decreased by 2012 $’000 2011 $’000 172,844 (172,844) 136,077 (136,077) 2,476 (2,476) 1,268 (1,268) The above excludes investments in associated companies that could be traded in active market but are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Note 2(c). The Group’s investments are managed under the guidance of the Investment Committee. (3) Interest rate risk The Group has insignificant financial assets or liabilities that are exposed to interest rate risks except for bank borrowings. The Company periodically reviews its liabilities and monitors interest rate fluctuations to ensure that the exposure to interest rate risk is within acceptable levels. The Group does not expect to incur material losses or gains due to changes in interest rate of the bank borrowings. (b) Liquidity risk As at 31 December 2012, the Group has available cash and short term bank deposits totalling $149.5 million (2011: $87.4 million). The cash and deposits, together with the available unutilised credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to meet the funding requirements of the Group’s operations. The Group does not have any material financial liabilities maturing more than 12 months from 31 December 2012. (c) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The maximum exposure of the Group and the Company to credit risk in the event that the counterparties fail to perform their obligations as of 31 December 2012 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statements of financial position with the exception that the Company has the following additional exposure to credit risk: The Company 2012 2011 $’000 $’000 Corporate guarantees provided to banks on subsidiaries’ obligations 102 68 68 Notes to The Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2012 28.Financial risk management (continued) (c) Credit risk (continued) The Group’s and Company’s major classes of financial assets that are subject to credit risk are shortterm bank deposits, investments in debt securities (not applicable for 31 December 2012) and trade receivables.

(i) Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired Short-term bank deposits that are neither past due nor impaired are mainly deposits with banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are substantially companies with a good collection track record with the Group. Debt securities are issued by companies with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies and held with counter-parties with good credit rating.

In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, buy back issued shares or obtain new borrowings. Management monitors capital based on ability of the Group to generate sustainable profits and availability of retained profits for dividend payments to shareholders. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2011. The Group and the Company are in compliance with all externally imposed capital requirements for the financial years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012.

Healthcare division principally manufactures and distributes topical analgesic products under the “Tiger Balm” and “Kwan Loong” brand. Leisure division provides family and tourist oriented leisure alternatives mainly in the form of oceanariums. Property division owns and leases out several investment properties in the Asia region. Investment division engages in investing activities, mainly in quoted and unquoted securities in Asia region. Inter-segment transactions are determined on an arm’s length basis. Unallocated costs represent corporate expenses. Segment assets consist primarily of available-for-sale financial assets, investment properties, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories, receivables, bank deposits and cash and bank balances. Segment liabilities comprise operating liabilities and exclude tax liabilities. Capital expenditure on non-current assets comprises additions to investment properties, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment in associated companies. The Group evaluates performance on the basis of profit or loss from operations before tax expenses and management fees charged internally and exclude non-recurring gains and losses. The Group accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, ie. at current market prices.
