INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF FRENCKEN GROUP LIMITED
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Frencken Group Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries
(the “Group”), which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2014, and
the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow
statement of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information, as set out on pages 43 to 124.
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 balance sheets and to maintain
accountability of assets.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we 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.
Opinion
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet 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 2014 and of the results, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Group for the 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 the subsidiaries
incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the
Act.
Other Matters
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 were audited by another auditor who expressed an
unmodified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated 7 March 2014.
