8 1. LEGAL STATUS AND ACTIVITIES: RAK Investment Authority, a government owned Entity ( the Parent Entity ) was established by the Government of Ras Al Khaimah, U.A.E. under Emiri Decree No. 2 dated February 1, 2005 issued by H.H.

Attracting investments in industrial sectors in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION: a) Statement of compliance: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ). b) Basis of measurement: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the available-for-sale investments which are measured at fair value. The method used to measure fair value of available-for-sale investment is discussed in Note 4 (g). c) Functional and presentation currency: The consolidated financial statements are presented in United Arab Emirates Dirhams ( AED ), which is the Group s functional currency. All financial information presented in AED has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. d) Basis of consolidation: Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Parent Entity. Control exists when the Parent Entity owns directly or indirectly more than 50% of the capital and has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprises so as to obtain benefits from its activities. -6-

9 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION: (continued ) The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Entity and its subsidiaries ( the Group ). The details of the consolidated subsidiaries are as follows: Name of Subsidiary Incorporated in Principal Activities Ownership Ratio Beaufort RAK LLC UAE Manufacturing, marketing, distributing and selling of disposable diapers, feminine hygiene products and related products % Al Jazeera Farm Products LLC UAE Agricultural production activity and marketing the same within UAE % All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognized in assets are eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. 3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS (Deemed Appropriate): In the current year, the Group has adopted the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) including the International Accounting Standards (IASs) and their interpretations that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008, and the consequential amendments thereon. The Group has adopted the revised IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008, and the consequential amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements: a) Land: Land has been alloted to the Parent Entity by the Government of Ras Al Khaimah at free of cost to set up Free Zones and Industrial Zones in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Land is stated as per valuation report of valuer and surplus has been transferred to capital reserve account. b) Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use as per IAS

10 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued ) c) Depreciation: The Group applies the straight-line method in depreciating its property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives of service. Annual rates of depreciation used are as follows: Asset Category Percentage Building 10% Plant and machinery 15% % Tools and equipment 25% Motor vehicles 25% EDP System and office equipment 25% - 50% Furniture and fixtures 25% d) Intangible assets: The Group policy is to recognize intangible assets initially at cost. Intangible assets are tested annually for impairment and any estimated reduction in value is charged to the Consolidated Income Statement for the current year. The Group s intangible assets include logo and packing design. e) Trading properties under development: Properties in the process of construction or development for the purpose of sale on completion are classified as trading properties under development. Trading properties under development are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of trading properties under development is determined on the basis of specific identification of their individual costs. The classification of trading properties under development as current and non-current depends upon the expected date of their completion. f) Investments in associates: Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method depending on the most recent available financial statements of the associated company. Any gain or loss resulting from investment in the associated company is recognized in Consolidated Income Statement for the current year. g) Available-for-sale investments: Available-for-sale investments are initially recognized at cost being the fair value of the consideration given. After initial recognition, available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment is its market value. Investment in shares with no market prices are recognized at cost price. Any differences resulting from re-measurement of these investments are reported as a separate component in equity as changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments. When these investments are sold, the gain or loss, if any, which was previously reported in the equity within changes in fair value of the available-for-sale investments, is transferred to consolidated income statement in the current year -8-

11 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued ) h) Inventories: Inventories are stated at lower of actual cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on average basis. Finished goods are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct cost of production. i) Trade accounts receivable: Trade accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less provision for any doubtful or uncollectible amount. An estimate of doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off when there is no possibility of recovery. j) Postdated cheques received: Postdated cheques received are recognized and accounted for in the books of account upon their actual collection. k) Cash and cash equivalents: Cash represents cash on hand and checking accounts with banks. Cash equivalents represent all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash which are subject to an insiginificant risk of changes in value and include call deposits and fixed deposits with maturities of three months or less from the date of placement. Bank overdraft balances (if any) that fluctuate from debit to credit during the year are deducted from cash and cash equivalents. l) Impairment of financial assets: Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is an objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been impacted. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 120 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written-off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off are credited to other income. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the consolidated income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. Unquoted available-for-sale investments are carried at cost due to the unpredictable nature of future cash flows and the lack of other suitable methods for arriving at a reliable fair value. -9-

12 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued ) m) Trade and settlement date accounting: The Group adopts the trade date accounting for the regular way purchase and sale of various categories of financial assets. Trade date accounting requires recognition of the financial assets on the date of its acquisition or sale by the Group. n) Minority Interests: Minority intrests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by the Group and are presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from the Parent Entity s equity. o) Medium-term bank loans: Medium-term bank loans are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at the amounts received after deducting the installments paid. The interests on these loans are at the effective market interest rate which was recorded in the books of account. p) End of service benefit obligation: The employees end of service benefit obligation (indemnity) is accounted for non UAE national employees on the basis of UAE Federal Labour Law. q) Short-term employees benefits : The short-term employees benefits are accounted for on the basis of U.A.E. Federal Labour Law. The leave obligation thereof is calculated on basic salary plus house and car allowance of each employee and 30 leave days for each year of service completed. Air-ticket obligation is accounted for individually for eligible employees as per the terms and conditions of employment contracts. Computation is based on the quoted market prices currently available to the Group for air tickets to various destinations of employees native countries. r) Trade accounts payable: Trade accounts payable are measured at original received invoice amount. s) Provisions: Provisions are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. t) Borrowing costs: Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Capitalization commences from the later of the start of acquistion, or development of the asset and the date from which funds were borrowed. Capitalization will be ceased once the asset is substantially complete. Capitalization will be suspended if the development of the asset is suspended. -10-

13 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued ) u) Revenue recognition: Revenue is recognized in the consolidated income statement when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue is generally recognized in the consolidated income statement as follows: Income from sale of trading properties are recognized on the basis of transfer of title deed of the properties. Visa and licensing income is recognized when these services are provided and invoices are raised to the clients. Lease rental income is recognized when lease contract is signed and invoices are raised according to the terms of the relevant lease. Interest income is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and effective interest rate applicable. Revenue of other services is recognized when the services are provided and are invoiced to the clients. Revenue of sales is generally recognized upon issuance of sales invoices to customers. v) Foreign Currency: Transactions arising in foreign currencies during the year are converted at the rates closely approximating those prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the year-end exchange rates. All exchange differences are included in current year s consolidated income statement. w) Financial instruments: The Group s financial instruments are principally comprised of trade and other receivables, loans and advances, cash and cash equivalents, Sukuk payable, medium-term bank loans, unsecured loans, end of service benefits obligation, trade and other payables, advances from customers and short-term borrowings from banks. The Group uses different assumptions to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments. The significant assumptions underlying the estimation of fair value of financial instruments, include, reference to quoted market prices, estimating the net realizable value, applying the discounted cash flows approach using current market interest rate, and other assumption depending on the management past experience. If an objective evidence exists that a financial instrument may be impaired, then the impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statement for the current year. -11-

14 5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY: In the application of the Group s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, the management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Annual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies: In the process of applying the Group s accounting policies, the management is of the opinion that there is no instance of application of judgments which is expected to have effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements: Classification of investments Management decides on acquisition of an investment whether it should be classified as held-for-trading (fair value through profit and loss) or available-for-sale. The Group classifies investments as held-for-trading (fair value through profit and loss) if they are acquired primarily for the purpose of making a short term profit by the dealers. Other investments are classified as available-for-sale. Valuation of unquoted equity investments The available-for-sale investments in unquoted securities are carried at cost due to the unpredictable nature of future cash flows and lack of other suitable methods for arriving at a reliable fair value. Impairment of financial assets The Group determines whether available-for-sale equity financial assets are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in their fair value below cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment and to record whether an impairment occurred, the Group evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility, the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financial cash flows. -12-

15 5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY: (continued ) Key sources of estimation uncertainty: The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the consolidated balance sheet date: Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment The cost of items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a systematic basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Management has determined the estimated useful lives of each asset and/or category of assets based on expected usage of the assets, expected physical wear and tear which depends on operational and environmental factors, the repairs and maintenance program, technological obsolescence arising from changes and the residual value. Management has not made estimates of residual values for any items of property, plant and equipment at the end of their useful lives as these have been deemed to be insignificant. Allowance for doubtful debts Allowance for doubtful debts is determined using a combination of factors to ensure that the trade receivables are not overstated due to uncollectability. The allowance for irrecoverable debts for all customers is based on a variety of factors, including the overall quality and aging of receivables, continuing credit evaluation of the customers financial conditions and collateral requirements from customers. Also, specific allowances for individual accounts are recorded when the Group become aware of the customer s inability to meet its financial obligation. -13-

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES: The Group in the ordinary course of business enters into transactions, at agreed terms and conditions with other business enterprises or individuals that fall within the definition of related parties contained in International Accounting Standard No. 24. For the purpose of these consolidated financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the Group, if the Group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party and making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Group and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. The balances with related parties are shown in foregoing Notes 18, 19, and FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT: The Groups provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group by analyzing exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, market risk and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to minimize the effects of these risks arising from the Group s financial risk management as follows: a) Credit Risk Management: Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults. However, the Group does not require its clients to provide collateral for credit extended to them. -31-

34 36. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT: (continued ) a) Credit Risk Management:(continued ) The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is discussed in foregoing Note 18 (c). Trade accounts receivable are reviewed on an ongoing basis and provision made for doubtful debts as and when required. At December 31, 2008, fixed deposit amounting to AED 50,311 thousands was placed with only one bank. Management is confident that this concentration at year end does not result in any credit risk to the Group as the said bank is a major bank operating in the UAE. b) Interest Rate Risk Management: The Group is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to Sukuk loan obligation, medium-term bank loans, unsecured loans and short-term borrowings from banks. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining appropriate floating rate borrowings. As and when it is appropriate, interest rate risks are managed through hedging instruments based on prudent risk management policies. The Group s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in Notes 22, 23, 24, and 27. c) Foreign Currency Risk Management: The Group has cross-border trading transactions and therefore, is exposed to foreign currency risk. However, majority of foreign exchange transactions are in US Dollars for which foreign currency risk is negligible as the exchange rate between UAE Dirhams and US Dollars is fixed. d) Market Risk: The Group s activities are exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis. There has been no change to the Group s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. However, the Group is exposed to market risk with respect to its availablefor-sale investments amounting to AED 214,439 thousands. e) Liquidity Risk: Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Government of Ras Al Khaimah which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. -32-
