The exchange rate of US$1=S$1.40 (31.12.2009: US$1=S$1.40) was used for translating assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Average monthly transaction rates were used for translating the results for the financial period (average rate for 2010: US$1=S$1.40, 2009: US$1=S$1.49).
The financial results for the six months ended 30th June 2010 and 30th June 2009 have been prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's Auditors.
Overview
Underpinned by a better than expected economic environment in the first half of the year, the Singapore residential property market remained buoyant. For the Group, a good profit was recognised on the completion of Waterfall Gardens, while a reversal of a write-down was made in respect of The Estuary development following its successful launch in February 2010.
Group Performance
Profit attributable to shareholders for the period was US$163 million, compared with US$38 million in the first half of 2009. In addition to the profit arising from the completion of Waterfall Gardens, the results also benefited from the reversal of a US$51 million write-down on The Estuary development following the sale of all units by the end of April 2010. The Company completed two developments in the first half of 2009.
The Group continues to carry a write-down of US$134 million against a number of its development properties in Singapore.
Shareholders' funds were US$664 million at the end of June 2010, up from US$533 million at 31st December 2009. Progress payments received in respect of development properties continued to enhance the Group's financial position. At 30th June 2010, the Group had net cash of US$279 million, compared with US$93 million at the end of 2009.
The Board is not recommending the payment of an interim dividend for the first half of 2010 (2009: nil).
Properties
Sales of the Group's Singapore development properties were robust. The Estuary, a 608-unit condominium development at Yishun Avenue 1, and The Peak@Balmeg, a 180-unit condominium development at Balmeg Road, were fully sold as at 30th June 2010. By the same date, pre-sales had reached 99% at Parvis, a 248-unit condominium joint venture development at Holland Road, and 94% at D'Pavilion, a 50-unit apartment development at Upper Serangoon Road.
D'Mira, a 65-unit apartment development at Boon Teck Road, was launched in May 2010 and 20 units had been committed for sale at the end of June.
Construction of the Group's projects is progressing well. Waterfall Gardens, a fully sold 132-unit condominium development at Farrer Road, obtained its Temporary Occupation Permit in May 2010, giving rise to a net profit of US$113 million. Completion of D'Pavilion is scheduled for the second half of 2010. This will be followed by The Peak@Balmeg in 2011, Parvis in 2012, and D'Mira and The Estuary in 2013.
The Group's joint venture developments in Malaysia continued to show good results. Riana Green Phase 1 was completed in January 2010, and all 391 units have now been sold. Sales of Seremban Forest Heights, a joint venture development in Seremban, continued with 322 of the 396 available units committed for sale.
Wangsa Walk Mall, a joint venture retail mall development in Kuala Lumpur with an estimated net lettable area of some 25,000 square metres, had 95% of its space leased at the end of June 2010.
Acquisitions
In May, the Group successfully secured a 99-year leasehold site at Hougang Avenue 2 for consideration of US$148 million. The 30,196-square metre site is located within an established residential estate and it will be developed into a condominium project with an estimated 450 to 500 units. The Group now has five sites in Singapore with a total gross floor area of about 100,000 square metres that are at various stages of planning approval.
Prospects
While the outlook for the residential property market in Singapore remains generally positive, ongoing economic uncertainties and the supply of more government land may moderate demand in the short term. Following strong first half profits, the only project completing in the second half will be D'Pavilion.

Explanatory notes on material variances: |
||||||
|
1 |
The increase in non-current assets at 30.6.2010 as compared to 31.12.2009 is mainly due to higher deferred tax assets provided for marketing expenses and recognition of deferred tax assets arising from prior years' losses. This is partially offset by the Group's share of losses incurred by the Group's joint ventures. |
|||||
|
2 |
The increase in current assets is mainly due to the prepayment of 25% of the land cost for the site at Hougang Avenue 2 and higher bank balances from sales proceeds collected from the Group's development properties. This is partially offset by lower development properties for sale due to completion of Waterfall Gardens in the current financial period. |
|||||
|
3 |
The lower non-current liabilities at 30.6.2010 as compared to 31.12.2009 is mainly due to repayment of long-term bank loans during the financial period from progress billings collected from the Group's development properties. |
|||||
|
4 |
The lower current liabilities at 30.6.2010 as compared to 31.12.2009 is mainly due to repayment of short-term bank loans during the financial period. This is partially offset by an increase in progress billings collected from the Group's development properties and a higher provision for income tax on the Group's taxable profit. |
