BUKIT TIMAH SADDLE CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013 - 1

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE The anticipated future became reality! As I look back over 2013, it was a great year for the Club. We won the SLA tender for the land currently occupied by the Saddle Club, albeit with a substantial increase in rental, but with the heath track formally included, as well as the arenas and paddocks. We successfully stood our ground such that the increased rental did not start until 1st July 2013. We formally accepted and signed the lease papers with SLA, allowing us to occupy the land at 51 Fairways Drive for a 3-year lease with the option for renewal. Having won an extended lease, compared with the previous year-by-year agreement, we were able to take a longer term view of the Club operations and make substantial investments to improve and update the facilities. Those improvements were started in earnest following the AGM in October 2013 at which time the members voted to proceed with the Management Committee’s capital spending proposal. Those improvements became visible in many areas around the Club. Notable projects included a greatly improved arena surface with proper machinery and equipment to maintain it, renovation of the “Sentosa” stable block, the renovation of the toilets, the planned installation of the horse walker and the clearing of the heath track. The overall condition and appearance of the stables and yard, and the general look of the Club, really improved. Furthermore, there were a number of developments behind the scenes such as electrical upgrades, internet and communication upgrades, as well as the purchase of fresh ponies and horses for the riding school. The Riders Café tenancy agreement was awarded to the same operators, but with an increase in rental and also with an increase in the lease duration. The operators renovated the facility, enlarged the kitchen and acquired some of the space in the lower floor allowing for easier operation of the restaurant. The Club also re-arranged its offices and made use of the old rolling box in the upper yard which was converted to an office for the Finance team. This brought our team in closer working proximity to each other, as well as positioning them to be more accessible to members. Unfortunately, the increased rental requirements for the Club made it necessary to increase the livery charges, riding school fees, etc. While it was recognized that increased charges and fees would be a burden to the members, it was the prudent thing to do in order to ensure the Club was on a sound financial footing. The increased availability of stables allows both the riding school and livery horse population to increase which further enhances the ongoing sustainability of the Club. As the Club’s financial results are analyzed for underlying trends indicating the net profitability of the Club as compared to the budgeted results, other changes may be necessary. As stated in previous correspondence, I want to ensure you that the Club does not put through any price increases without healthy debate at both the Management and Committee level, with a view toward balancing the services that the Club provides and the prices associated to such services. Financial controls and transparency continued to be a priority for the Club. To address the audit points raised for the FY 2012, significant changes were made to the Club’s processes. I am happy to report that the improvements have resulted in a clean, unqualified audit opinion for 2013. For more information, please read the Treasurer’s report. As always, serving as Chairman or as an MC member, as with all volunteer positions, is no easy task. The assistance of other Club members helps to lessen this load and I therefore invite all members who feel they can contribute constructively to the Club, to volunteer to serve on the sub committees, a number of which have been established and are currently operating. The subcommittees, by the Constitution, are the feeder route for the Management Committee. The larger the pool of experience, knowledge and wisdom that we can tap into, the better it will be for the Club in filling the roles required, as well as in progressing the general state of the Club. This in particular became apparent in the requirement for an EGM in 2013 to allow for the election of a Club Secretary who did not have prior experience on a subcommittee. Again, I feel particularly blessed to have worked with an incredible Management Committee and Club management team, who put in an inordinate amount of time and effort to make our future a reality and to improve our Club in all aspects. The motivation and personal sacrifices of the committee members and management team, the commitment to seeing the process through to the end, to stand up and take responsibility for some requirement or need, truly exceeded all expectations. In particular, as the Club constitution requirement makes this my last term as Chairman, my heartfelt thanks to all of the management committee and staff of BTSC. Sincerely yours

Doug Harrison Chairman, Bukit Timah Saddle Club 23 March 2014

BTSC is now an approved BHS Riding centre, Livery Centre, Facility Centre and Training Facility

Club Captain’s REPORT 2013 has been a whirlwind of activities! The start of the year saw the preparation for SLA’s public land tender for 51 Fairways Drive. Many hours were spent working on the plans and documentation for the final submission of our tender in January. On the 1st of February, SLA announced the award of the tender to BTSC. Now, with a more secure future guaranteed, we were able to spend the rest of the year planning and initiating many projects to upgrade the Clubs facilities knowing that we were here to stay! Operations Overseeing all of our projects whether large or small was our General Manager, Anthony Lowry. With his leadership, a few of our major upgrading projects were planned and set in motion. With the help of Kate Murphy, the Riding School Manager, the Riding School acquired additional horses to cope with our increasing ridership. All of these horses have been integrated successfully into the riding school, helping to share the workload from our current aging and hardworking population. New equipment was purchased to help our Stable Managers, Dominador Canas and Mandor Kamis work more effectively, by saving time and being more productive in the workplace. The largest projects were started which included the resurfacing of the Terra Arena, the creation of a new storage shed for equipment and jumps, the installation of a new horse walker and the rebuilding of Sentosa stable block. These projects could not have been done without the support of our Livery Manager, Predrag Marjanovic and Head of Estate, Saddam. 4 - BUKIT TIMAH SADDLE CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The hard work continually put in by all staff has now placed BTSC as an internationally recognised yard, able to attract top level riding instructors and trainers.

Staffing To support Anthony and Kate in the day-to-day running of BTSC, we were able to hire a few outstanding professionals throughout the year. With their knowledge and experience, these individuals were able to streamline our processes and keep our Club moving forward. In the administrative area, we were fortunate to have Peter Koon join our management team in the capacity of Finance Manager in July 2013, following the departure of our previous manager. In the Riding School, we welcomed Nina Wiegandt as our Riding School Office Manager. She started as a part-time employee in May and in October took on a full-time position. To complete our new and improved Management Team, Predrag Marjanovic joined in October to provide much needed

support for our Livery and Estate teams, through his leadership and experience. Another valued employee who joined our team in April 2013 was Patrick Barry. Originally from Ireland, he took on the role of full-time instructor in our Riding School. We were also delighted when our other instructor, Keith Choi, took on a full-time position, having supported us for many years as a parttimer. Both instructors have been invaluable to BTSC and are key players on our Riding School team. With tight restrictions on foreign manpower, BTSC like many other companies and establishments in Singapore faces tough challenges in the human resources department. From grooms and instructors to managers, we are constantly working to create the best team possible to serve our members at BTSC. Horse Population and Welfare There were some fluctuations in the BTSC livery section in 2013. We saw 11 horses depart from the Club due to the uncertainty of BTSC’s future with respect to the land tender. However, since our lease confirmation, 11 horses have arrived. With the completion of our facilities upgrading in 2014, I am confident that even more livery horses will arrive to enjoy our new arena, new stables, new horse walker, and our unique position of offering the charm of a “country estate” within the City. The BTSC riding school saw 6 horses depart in 2013. Some were sold and others were rehomed. We were saddened BUKIT TIMAH SADDLE CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013 - 5

to see our old and reliable servant ‘We are On’ pass away from natural causes. To counteract the aging population of the school horses and the ever-increasing demand for lessons, the Riding School acquired 7 additional horses (6 horses from Ireland and 1 ex-racehorse) increasing us to a total of 36 horses as at 31st December 2013. Our school horses are all hard working and we appreciate all the support and love that BTSC members give to them.

to uncertainty however, since the signing of the tender, membership has been increasing steadily and BTSC has acquired 44 new memberships in 2013. BTSC has converted a number of our Public Riders who have decided to take on membership to participate in our programs such as private lessons, competitions and leasing.

We continue to work with veterinarian professionals such as Fernanda Sepulveda, Roshni Selvam, and Phylis Yew for the health and welfare of our horses. BTSC Livery Owners, from time to time, have also engaged the expertise of veterinarians from the Singapore Turf Club. Equine health professionals from other countries for dentistry, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, etc are also engaged for the health of their horses.

BTSC has reinstated several sub-committees such as Finance, Marketing and Communication, Riding School and Livery. BTSC wishes to thank all that have and continue to volunteer their time and energy in serving our Club. If you are interested in sitting on a committee, please do let us know as we encourage all our Members to get involved in our community.

Our in-house farrier services are still performed by Rommel Llamelo for the majority of our horses, and for those that require specialized shoeing, we do engage outside farriers from time to time. Rommel continues to be a key employee by providing a much needed service with diligence and care.

BTSC has also seen an increase in the number of volunteers! The Riding School is always grateful to our Members that help us to run lessons, pony club, pony camps, school programs and community projects. We are always looking for help so if you have time, do come into the Riding School Office to let us know how you can help.

The third annual BTSC Country Fair has come and gone! Thanks to the army of volunteers who planned and executed another exciting day for the community at large! In spite of the rain and mud, volunteers, participants, family, friends, and the general public all had fun! One of the main purposes of this event is to introduce to the community the sport of equestrian.

Food and Beverage Outlet and Tack Shop

Administration, Marketing and Communication

The new lease saw BTSC’s continued partnership with both Rider’s Café and Bits and Boots tack shop. Riders Café took over some extra space in the BTSC clubhouse, in return for a higher rental and going forward, the space constraints of the tack shop will be addressed by relocating to a larger building with improved accessibility and income.

Our Administration team consisting of Peter Koon, Mylene Barrett and Gerard Sivilingam have been working hard in their new office, located next to the Riding School Office in the converted rolling box. You can find them there for all your needs regarding finance, membership and general enquires. The Riding School Office covers the scheduling of lessons and

other programs such as pony club, leasing, BHS courses, competitions and general queries. The office is managed by Nina Wiegandt with the help of a Riding School Secretary and the Instructors. BTSC continues to send out news bulletins via email to keep Members abreast with current information and news within the Club. We also have a Members’ Notice Board on the balcony for news and information, upcoming events and clinics, show invites and results. Membership information is also published here, so please do check the boards from time to time. Community Projects

and exciting day for the children and their families. They enjoyed pony rides, horseshoe painting and a delicious lunch on our terrace. We hope to make this type of event annual and offer additional events to other nonprofit organizations, but this cannot happen without the generosity and support of our Members and Sponsors. Another offering to the local community is our School Program. This program offers groups of children through their school, the opportunity to learn about horses including grooming, washing a pony and having a pony ride. BTSC hopes that we can continue to reach out to an even wider community to help educate people and share our love for horses throughout 2014!

Membership and Volunteer Opportunities With our medium term future secured at 51 Fairways Drive, BTSC saw an overall increase of Membership in the latter half of 2013. We did see a slight decline in membership during the first quarter, once again due

IN FOCUS Riding School REPORT It was a very successful and busy year for the BTSC Riding School as we witnessed riding lesson income increase from $774K in 2012 to 1,005K in 2013.

To date there has been very successful integration of public riding into the school without affecting the quality of lessons for members. This is an important milestone for BTSC and a great step forward for equestrian sport in Singapore.

We saw the arrival of six new horses from Ireland named Porter, Enzo, Casper, Samson, Jill and Gemma. These horses were carefully selected by our General Manager and Riding School Manager for their quiet temperament and ability to work in the Riding School environment. These horses have been a great success and one of the main reasons for such a big increase in the lesson income figures. Sadly, ‘We are On’ who was one of the “old reliables” in the BTSC Riding School passed away from natural causes and the Danish pony, Primus was rehomed to Noah’s Ark in Malaysia as he was unsuitable for use in the Riding School. The YOG horses continue to be a great asset to the BTSC Riding School and provide a higher quality of horse to our young riders as they graduate from the riding school ponies. Leasing income decreased in 2013 from $156K to $122K but this was due mainly to the extra demand and uptake in lessons and the need to have our good horses available for a wider range of riders. Competition and clinic income increased in 2013 from $56K to $70K. This is a continuing trend as our competition entries are getting bigger and bigger each month.

Proud of our Achievements

Public Riding The offering of public riding at BTSC is one of the key requirements in our lease agreement with SLA. Public riding was introduced to BTSC on 1st January 2012 and since then, it has expanded significantly which can be shown by the Public Riding income of $71K in 2012 compared with $183K in 2013. The number of people participating in beginner courses remained relatively consistent with income of $43K in 2012 compared with $46K in 2013. Riding School Staff The Riding School continued to focus on recruiting well qualified and experienced staff. As at December 31st 2013, the staff of the Riding section included: • Anthony Lowry – Head Instructor • Predrag Marjanovic – Head Instructor • Kate Murphy – Riding School Manager (resigned in January 2014) • Nina Wiegandt – Office Manager • Dominador Canas – Stable Manager • Patrick Barry – Instructor • Keith Choi - Instructor • Samantha Wong – Part Time Instructor • Sarah Finley – Part Time Instructor

Competitions There were 20 Interclub competitions held in Singapore during 2013 of which BTSC hosted 8, SPC 9 and NEC 3. STCRC also become a recognised member of the Equestrian Federation and started to hold EFS registered shows in 2013. BTSC also increased the number of training shows both in dressage and jumping during the year to help prepare our riders and simulate the pressure of a competition environment. In the EFS Annual Equestrian League 2012 / 2013, which culminates with the National Dressage and Jumping Championships in June, BTSC riders achieved many of the top placings in the following levels: 2012 / 2013 EFS Annual Equestrian League Awards - DRESSAGE Level

10 - BUKIT TIMAH SADDLE CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The heath track played host to spectacular marquees hosting vendors selling jewellery, riding gear, children’s clothing, toys, candy floss, ice cream and other food and beverages. The day was filled with fun activities such as Pony Rides, Tractor Rides, Zorbing, Penalty Shoot-out, Bouncy castle and lots more. The pony rides and tractor rides once again proved to be very popular with the crowds who also enjoyed pony races, high jumping demonstrations, dog jumping, human showjumping and a German Shepard dog demonstration. Although the rain dampened the day, this did not stop the kids having a great time in events like the Fancy Dress for horses, Gymkhana games and ‘Best Turned Out’. We would like to thank all our participants, volunteers and sponsors that helped us at the Country Fair and who continued to help us throughout 2013!

BHS training courses for members ran throughout the year at various times in 2013. These courses provided a great benefit to members who were wanting to gain a better knowledge and understanding of horse management. Approximately 12 BTSC staff and members took and passed their BHS exams in 2013 which were held in November 2013. BTSC Pony Club continues every second week and the number of participants is steadily increasing. The rallies are held every other Saturday and are open to anyone (members and public) aged 7 – 21.

• Members’ entrance fees increased by $61K to $150K compared with $89K in 2012 mainly due to 34 new members joining the Club, primarily after the lease had been secured;

TREASURER’S REPORT I am pleased to report that the Club turned in a profit of $71K for the year ended 2013, reversing the loss of $65K in the previous year, with operating income up 19% to $2.91M. 2013 was a challenging year for the Club. In March, we secured the SLA tender to extend our lease to Jun 2016 with an option to extend for a further term not exceeding three (3) years, till December 2018. However, under the new lease, our monthly rental increases from $18K to $69K. To ensure the long term financial health of the Club, we have implemented several measures including the revision of livery and riding lesson fees, changing the billing cycle to collect subscriptions & dues in advance (vs in arrears), and requesting members to top-up their (refundable) deposits. The MC would like to thank all members and staff of the Club for their patience and support during this period as we worked to identify and implement the above initiatives. Highlighting some of the factors contributing to the positive year-end position:

• Riding income increased by $231K to $1,006K compared with $775K in 2012 mainly due to the revision of riding lesson fees and the acquisition of 6 Irish horses in October 2013, allowing more lessons to be given, and hence more income generated, by the Riding School; • Riding income from non-members showed an increase of $116K to $274K (2012: $158K), a 73% increase. Not only is this a very pleasing financial result, it fulfills our obligation under the lease to provide public riding and can also be an excellent source of attracting future members; • In July 2013, the Club signed a new lease with Riders Café, significantly increasing our rental income by 150%; • Members’ deposits and aged debtor lists were cleaned up resulting in a small net write-back of excess provision to the profit & loss account. More importantly, we now have a more robust procedure for identifying and chasing aged debtors. While the profit in 2013 is a key metric of the performance of the Club, it is worth looking at the amount of cash generated (see Statement of Cash flows on page 6 of the Financial Statements). The Club generated positive cash of $317K from normal operating activities (before capital expenditures and transfer to the building fund), a significant and pleasing turnaround to the net decrease of $181K in 2012. General Operations of the Club Regular maintenance of the premises is essential due to the age of many of our facilities. However, materials and labour costs continued to creep upwards during the year. Overall we spent $255K on repairs and maintenance, up 27% on 2012. A credit card machine was installed in the Riding School office to offer members another payment method and to allow the Accounts team improved visibility of revenues. This also simplified the accounting operations and strengthened our overall control environment by no longer accepting cash payments from Members. Currently, the Club will only accept payment by cheque, NETS, Credit Cards or interbank transfer. Cash payments are restricted to public riding and pony ride fees. The 2013 Country Fair was another huge success contributing a profit of $22K (2012: $6K). The Country Fair continues to evolve and improve year on year and is now a highlight in the Club’s events calendar.

Staff Salaries and Bonuses The Club met its contractual obligation under the Collective Agreement for the unionised employees to be paid an Annual Wage Supplement (“AWS”). In addition, a variable bonus was declared to all employees for their effort and contribution towards the Club. Overall this resulted in a total bonus payment of $71K (2012: $35K, representing only the contractual obligations to unionised employees). Capital Expenditure Total spending on capital expenditure in 2013 was $172K (2012: $8K), mainly from the acquisition of 6 ponies/ horses at a total cost of $102K and $70K for machinery & equipment.

Finance Manager, Peter Koon, who immediately began addressing the audit points raised and implemented a thorough review of our procedures and controls. As a result, I am very pleased to present to Members the 2013 Financial Statements with a clean, unqualified audit opinion.

Mark Nelligan Treasurer

Of the $920K capital spend that was approved by Members at the 2012 AGM to be deployed into the various projects, nearly 70% has either been committed/ spent as at the end of February 2014, with the total spend forecast to come within budget. Building Fund The building fund (formerly known as the sinking fund) collected contributions of $157K and has a balance of $626K. It is a critical asset of the Club’s future. Audit FY2013 The errors and omissions mentioned in the 2012 Financial Statements were rectified in 2013. In July, we hired a new BUKIT TIMAH SADDLE CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013 - 15

BUKIT TIMAH SADDLE CLUB NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2013

These notes form an integral part of the financial statements. 1.

CORPORATE INFORMATION The Club is registered with the Registry of Societies under the Societies Act, Cap 311 and its principal place of business is at 51 Fairways Drive, Singapore 286965. The principal activities of the Club are those relating to the provision of equestrian sporting activities for its members.

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, which are presented in Singapore dollars (S$), have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year except in the current financial year, the Club has adopted all new and revised FRSs and Interpretations of FRS (INT FRS) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current financial year. The adoption of these new and revised FRS and INT FRS did not result in significant changes to the Club’s accounting policies and did not have a material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. Although these estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could ultimately differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects on that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgements made by management in the application of FRS that have a significant effect on the financial statements and in arriving at estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year are discussed in note 3.

b) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The initial cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment if there is such an obligation when acquiring or using the asset. Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Club. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

BUKIT TIMAH SADDLE CLUB NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2013

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

b) Property, plant and equipment (continued) Depreciation of the property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts (costs less residual values) over their estimated useful lives as follows: Leasehold improvements Machinery, computers and office equipment Motor vehicles Furniture and fittings Ponies Saddles Gutters Show jumping equipment Stables

5 years 3 - 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years 2 years 5 years

The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each reporting date. Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment still in use are retained in the financial statements and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets. On disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is taken to profit or loss. Any amount in the asset revaluation reserve relating to that asset is transferred directly to accumulated earnings. c)

Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less accumulated impairment losses.

d) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. e)

Building fund The Building Fund is for the purpose of establishment of new premises should the Club need to move from its present location.

f)

Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Club has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, and are discounted to present value when the effect is material. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

g) Leases Leases are classified as finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. As lessee Lease payments under operating leases are charged as rental expenses in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Contingent rents are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

g) Leases (continued) As lessor Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over the term of the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. h) Employee benefits Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees as a result of services rendered by them up to the reporting date. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave accrued and not yet taken by the reporting date. For qualifying employees, the Club makes mandatory contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme, a defined state contribution plan. These contributions are recognised as staff costs in the period in which the related service is performed. i)

Impairment of assets The Club assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that an asset is impaired as follows: Financial assets carried at amortised cost For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Club first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Club determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of the financial asset. To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has incurred, the Club considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment of non-financial assets Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever there is indication that these assets may be impaired If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised as an expense in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

2. i)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Impairment of assets (continued) Impairment of non-financial assets (continued) When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimated recoverable amount, but not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

j)

Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Club and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. More specifically: Members’ subscription fees and livery income Revenue from members’ subscription fees are recognised in the period to which they relate. Membership entrance and transfer fees Membership entrance fees are receivable and recognised upon membership acceptance. transfer fees are receivable and recognised upon transfer of membership.

Membership

Riding, shoeing, freelance instructors fees income Riding, shoeing and freelance instructors fees income are recognised when services are rendered. Rental and leasing income Rental and leasing income from operating leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest income Revenue from interest on deposits with banks are recognised using the effective interest method. Sundry income Sundry income, arising mainly from anniversary celebrations, competitions, clinics and ad-hoc events, are recognised when the services are rendered. k)

Income tax Current tax is the amount of income tax payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are provided, using the liability method, on all taxable temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unabsorbed capital allowances and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offsetted when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current and deferred tax are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also dealt with in equity.

2. l)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Foreign currencies Management has determined the Club’s functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, to be the Singapore dollar. The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Singapore dollars by applying the exchange rates at the date of the transactions. At each reporting date, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing exchange rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the reporting date are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised directly in other comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

m) Related parties Entities and individuals that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Club, are related parties of the Club. Associates and individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Club that gives them significant influence over the entity, key management personnel, including directors and officers of the Club and close members of the family of these individuals and companies associated with these individuals, also constitute related parties. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form. n) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank balances and deposits less bank overdrafts and other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES The preparation of the Club’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that have a significant effect on the financial statements. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods. Key source of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Useful Lives of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates their useful lives to be within 2 years to 5 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological advancements could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of the Club’s property, plant and equipment at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The overall financial management of the Club is determined and carried out by management at their discretion and in the best interest of the Club. The Club is exposed to the following financial risks: Interest rate risk This is primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates relating to the Club’s deposits. The Club’s policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available. Information relating to the Club’s interest rate exposure is disclosed in the notes on its deposits with banks. A 1% increase or decrease in interest rate at the reporting date of each interest bearing financial asset and liability, assuming that all other variables remain constant, would not have a material effect on the Club’s results and equity. Liquidity risk This is primarily due to fluctuations in the requirement for funds for the Club’s operations and other activities. The Club manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash to enable it to meet its operational requirements. At the reporting date, there were no financial liabilities with a maturity date of more than 1 year based on expected contractual undiscounted cash flows. Credit risk This is primarily due to uncertainty in the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the Club’s financial assets. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and members’ account and other receivables represent the Club’s maximum credit risk exposure. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk. The Club had no significant concentration of credit risk at the reporting date. Cash and fixed deposits are placed with banks and financial institutions which are regulated. The aged analysis of members’ accounts past due but not impaired is as follows: 2013 S$ Past due not more than 1 month Past due more than 1 month

17. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Club’s objectives when managing funds are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and support club’s growth and on-going development. Management regularly reviews and manages its funds to ensure optimal structure taking into consideration the future funds requirement of the Club, projected operating cash flows and projected capital expenditures. The Club’s overall strategy remains unchanged from the previous financial year. The Club is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 18. RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATIVE FIGURES Management has decided to classify the Club’s operating expenditure by the nature of the expenditure instead of the prior year’s classification by function. This has resulted in the following reclassifications of the comparative figures.
