Dear Shareholders,
During the financial year ended 30 June 2016, the Management and
the Board of the Company
have been working to execute the restructuring of the Company
and meet the plans that were
approved by shareholders in late 2014. I am pleased to report
that we have made significant
headway during the year, and are well on track to meet the 2017
target deadline.
Fund Restructuring Completed
During the financial year, we undertook and completed the
restructuring of the Company, with the
segregation of the Listed and Private Equity ("PE") portfolios.
In July 2015, the Listed Portfolio was admitted to the London Stock
Exchange AIM, trading under the ticker "VNIL", while the PE
Portfolio continuing to trade under the ticker "VNI". Also in July
2015, the Forum One - VCG Partners Vietnam Fund (VVF) was
successfully launched.
Two Listed Portfolio Share repurchase events occurred during the
financial year: a tender offer in
August 2015, followed by a tender offer in February 2016 and
culminating in a compulsory
repurchase in August 2016, after the close of the financial
year. The Listed Portfolio Shares were
then cancelled and delisted on 17 August 2016.
Fund Performance
For the financial year ended 30 June 2016, the audited Net Asset
Value (NAV) of the PE portfolio decreased from USD202.5 million, or
USD0.58 per share, to USD77.2 million or
USD0.22 per share. The decline was primarily due to the
segregation of the Listed and PE
portfolios, and a distribution to PE shareholders, as well as a
downward valuation of the in-building
systems (IBS) assets of SEATH.
The audited NAV per share of the Listed Portfolio on 30 June
2016 increased USD0.29 per share, to USD0.36 per share. The rise
was primarily due to the strong performance of VVF.
Performance Against Objectives
Our key objective is to realise the value of the Company's
assets, and the investment manager
made substantial progress to that end during the financial year,
including:
-- Vietnam Aircraft Leasing Corporation (VALC): VNI sold its
11.65% stake in the aircraft lessor for USD8.4 million in February
2016.
-- Vina-CPK: Located in Vinh Phuc, Vietnam, Vina-CPK operates
industrial park and infrastructure projects with an investment
license of up to 49 years. VNI sold its stake in June 2016 for
USD22.1 million.
Subsequent to the close of the financial year, the Company
reported two other important
developments:
-- SEATH: In August 2016, VNI reached an agreement to sell the
BTS portion of the portfolio to OCK Vietnam Towers Ltd. for USD50
million. This transaction is expected to close by the end of
December 2016.
-- Long An: On 2 November 2016, the Company received an
out-of-court cash settlement of USD2.37 million, and the asset has
been transferred to the buyer.
The IBS portion of the SEATH portfolio is the final asset to be
divested, and the Board continues to
explore options to do so by June 2017.
Looking Ahead
Our top priority is to maximise shareholder value. In June 2016,
we distributed USD11 million to
holders of the PE shares. We currently anticipate making another
distribution during the first quarter of 2017 following the receipt
of proceeds from the SEATH BTS sale. Subject to the sale of IBS, we
would then anticipate making a further distribution either before,
or in conjunction with, the commencement of the voluntary
liquidation process towards the end of the 2017 financial year.
Furthermore, investors still holding VVF shares have benefitted
from the fund's strong
performance. VVF continues to be Vietnam's largest open-ended
UCITS-compliant fund, and it
continues to outperform the VN Index.
Vietnam's buoyant economy has received a great deal of
international media attention this past
year, and with it, a growing flow of foreign investors
interested in participating in this resilient
market. These and other factors have contributed to the solid
progress we have made toward
completing the realisation process in an orderly and timely
manner.
Given these positive developments, as well as consideration
toward minimising administrative
expenses, the Board has decided to not hold an Annual General
Meeting this year. Of course, I
invite shareholders with any issues or concerns to directly
contact me or any of the other Directors.
On behalf of the entire Board, I thank you for your continued
support.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Vietnam Infrastructure Limited ("the Company") is a limited
liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The
registered office of the Company is PO Box 309GT, Ugland House,
South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
The original principal activity of the Group was to invest in a
diversified portfolio of entities owning infrastructure projects
and assets primarily in Vietnam. The Group could invest and hold
equity and debt instruments in unquoted companies that themselves
held, developed or operated infrastructure assets. The Group could
also invest in entities whose shares or other instruments were
listed on a stock exchange, or traded on over-the-counter ("OTC")
markets and in other funds that invested in infrastructure projects
or assets.
On 22 July 2015, following shareholder approval of a proposal to
restructure the Company, the listed and private equity components
of VNI's portfolio were separated into two distinct pools, the
Listed Portfolio and the Private Equity Portfolio, through a bonus
issue of new Listed Portfolio Shares on a one-for-one basis to
existing ordinary shareholders. As a result the Listed Portfolio
and the Private Equity Portfolio were represented by separate
classes of shares which were listed on the London Stock Exchange's
Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") under the tickers VNIL and
VNI, respectively. The Listed Portfolio assets and any surplus cash
in the Company were contributed to Forum One-VCG Partners Vietnam
Fund ("VVF"), a newly established sub-fund of Forum One, a
Luxembourg open-ended investment company or SICAV ("Forum One") for
consideration of 10,242,351 Class A VVF shares at the subscription
price of USD10 per Class A VVF share. VVF's particular focus is to
invest in listed equities on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and the
Hanoi Stock Exchange; or other issuers that carry out a substantial
part of their economic activity in Vietnam and are listed, traded
or dealt on stock exchanges worldwide.
(i) Listed Portfolio Shares ("LPS")
LPS shareholders were given an opportunity to tender their
shares in return for VVF units in August 2015 and February 2016. In
August 2016 all the remaining outstanding LPS were compulsorily
repurchased by the Company in return for VVF units. All shares
repurchased by the Company were cancelled on the respective
repurchase date so that after the date of the final repurchase no
LPS remain in issue. The admission of the shares for trading on AIM
was also cancelled that day.
(ii) Private Equity Shares ("PES")
The disposal proceeds from the sale of investments in the
Private Equity Portfolio and surplus net cash-flows are distributed
to the holders of the PES on a periodic basis. At such times
holders of PES are given the option to either receive distributions
in cash or have the funds invested by the Company in VVF Units (at
the then current net asset value of a VVF Unit) and then to have
the VVF Units distributed to them. Holders of PES who do not make
an election are deemed to have elected to receive VVF Units.
The Company is seeking to fully realise the Private Equity
Portfolio before 30 June 2017.
The consolidated financial statements for the financial year
ended 30 June 2016 were approved for issue by the Board of
Directors on 19 December 2016.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of
these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the financial years
presented.
2.1 Basis of preparation
(a) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
The consolidated financial statements of Vietnam Infrastructure
Limited have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
Going concern
The Company is progressively realising its Private Equity
Portfolio which it expected to complete by 30 June 2017. Following
the realisation of the portfolio and return of proceeds to
shareholders the Company will be wound up in accordance with the
Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association dated 15 December
2014. As a consequence, these financial statements have been
prepared using the liquidation basis, as the going concern basis is
no longer considered appropriate. The Company continues to apply
the same IFRS accounting policies as has been used in prior years
as management do not believe there is a difference in the
accounting measurement basis that would be applied using a going
concern basis of accounting versus what would apply under a
liquidation basis of accounting.
(b) Historical cost convention
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using
the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of
investment properties, and in-building cellular enhancement systems
("IBS") under property, plant and equipment, and financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities, the
measurement bases of which are described in the accounting policies
below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated
financial statements are disclosed in Note 3(i).
(c) New standards and interpretation effective 1 July 2015 adopted by the Group
There are no standards, interpretations and amendments to
existing standards that are effective for the financial year
beginning 1 July 2015 that have had a material impact on the
Group.
2.2 New significant accounting policies
LPS and PES are classified as financial liabilities
Under IAS 32, both the LPS and PES are classified as financial
liabilities as they both meet the definition of puttable
instruments. That is, they are financial instruments that give the
holders the right to put the instruments back to the issuer for
cash or another financial asset or are automatically put back to
the issuer on the occurrence of an uncertain future event.
2.3 Principles of consolidation and equity accounting
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control.
The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to
direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the
Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control
ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on
transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides
evidences of an impairment of the transferred asset. All of the
Group's subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 December. For
subsidiaries with a different reporting date, the management
information up to 30 June are used for consolidation purposes and
are adjusted for consistency with the Group's accounting
policies.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of
subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated financial
statements of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity, statement of changes in net assets
attributable to holder of redeemable shares and balance sheet
respectively.
Business combination
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for all
business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or
other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the
acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets
transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the
acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The
consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary
comprises the:
-- fair value of the assets transferred
-- liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
-- equity interests issued by the group
-- fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent arrangement, and
-- fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
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. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest
in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis,
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's
proportionate share of the acquired entity's identifiable net
assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of any
non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the
acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than
the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business
acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss
as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred,
the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present
value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the
entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier
under comparable terms and conditions.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a
financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability
are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair
value recognised in profit or loss.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the
acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the
acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such
remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Change in ownership interests
When the group ceases to consolidate for an investment because
of a loss of control, any retained interest in the entity is
remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount
recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial
carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the
retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition,
any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in
respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may
mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive
income are reclassified to profit or loss.
2.4 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal management reporting information for the Investment
Manager's management, monitoring of investments, and decision
making. The Investment Manager assesses the financial performance
and position of the Group, and makes strategic decisions.
The operating segments by investment portfolio include energy,
property and infrastructure development, telecommunications,
transportation and logistics, general infrastructure, other capital
markets and cash.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in
United States Dollars ("USD") ("the presentation currency"). The
financial statements of each consolidated entity are initially
prepared in the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates ("the functional currency"), which for
most investments is Vietnamese Dong ("VND"). The financial
statements prepared using VND are then translated into the
presentation currency. USD is used as the presentation currency
because it is the primary basis for the measurement of the
performance of the Group and a large proportion of significant
transactions of the Group are denominated in USD.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the
consolidated income statement. They are deferred in equity if they
are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign
operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are
presented in the consolidated income statement, within finance
costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in
the consolidated income statement on a net basis within other
income or other expenses.
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. Translation differences on assets
and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the
fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on
non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair
value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as
part of the fair value gain or loss.
(c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities
(none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy)
that have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are
translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance
sheet;
ii) income and expenses for each consolidated income statement
and consolidated statement of comprehensive income 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 rate on the dates of the transactions); and
iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the
translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of
borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of
such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of
the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences
are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on
sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition
of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the
foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
2.6 Investment properties
Investment properties are properties owned or held to earn
rentals or capital appreciation, or both, or land held for a
currently undetermined use.
Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including
related transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment
property is carried at fair value.
Investment property under construction is measured at fair value
if the fair value is considered to be reliably determinable.
Investment property under construction for which the fair value
cannot be determined reliably, but for which the company expects
that the fair value of the property will be reliably determinable
when construction is completed, are measured at cost less
impairment until the fair value becomes reliably determinable or
construction is completed - whichever is earlier. Fair value is
based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any
difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific
asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses
alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices on less active
markets or discounted cash flow projections. Valuations are
performed as of the financial position date by the Company's
independent professional valuer and/or internal investment officers
who have relevant professional experience, and professional valuers
who hold recognised relevant professional qualifications and have
recent experience in the location and category of the investment
property being valued. These valuations form the basis for the
carrying amounts in the financial statements. Investment property
that is being redeveloped for continuing use as investment property
or for which the market has become less active continues to be
measured at fair value.
2.7 Leases
(a) A group company is the lessee in an operating lease
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as operating
leases, unless they are treated as investment properties (Note
2.6). Where the Group has the use of an asset held under an
operating lease, payments made under the lease are charged to the
consolidated income statement on a straight line basis over the
term of the lease. Prepayments for operating leases represent
property held under operating leases where a portion, or all, of
the lease payments have been paid in advance, and the properties
cannot be classified as an investment property.
(b) A group company is the lessor in an operating lease
Properties leased out under operating leases are included in
investment property in the consolidated balance sheet.
2.8 Financial assets
2.8.1 Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following
categories: at fair value through profit or loss and loans and
receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which
the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the
classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The
Group does not have any financial assets classified as available
for sale or held to maturity.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include
financial assets that are designated by the management to be
carried at fair value through profit or loss at inception. They are
not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with
the Company's documented investment strategy. Financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss held by the Group include listed
and unlisted securities. Assets in this category are classified as
current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months;
otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
(b) 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 for maturities
greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These
are classified as non-current assets. The Group's loans and
receivables comprise "Trade and other receivables" and "Cash and
cash equivalents" in the consolidated balance sheet.
Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for
services performed in the ordinary course of business.
2.8.2 Recognition and derecognition
Purchases or 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
the risks and rewards of ownership.
2.8.3 Measurement
Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus
transaction costs for all financial assets which are not carried at
fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair
value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair
value, and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated
income statement. 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.
If the investments do not have a quoted market price in an
active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured,
such investments shall be measured at cost, less provision for
impairment.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the
'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category
are presented in the consolidated income statement within "fair
value gain/(loss) of financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss" in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised
in the consolidated income statement when the Group's right to
receive payments is established.
2.9 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount
reported in the consolidated balance sheet when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
2.10 Prepayments for acquisitions of Long An Industrial Service project
Prepayments are made by the Group to vendors for land
compensation and other related costs, and professional fees
directly attributed to the projects, where the final transfer of
the investment/property is pending the approval of the relevant
authorities and/or is subject to either the Group or the vendor
completing certain performance conditions set out in agreements.
Such prepayments are measured initially at cost until such time as
the approval is obtained or conditions are met, at which point they
are transferred to appropriate investment accounts.
Pre-payments are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment
losses.
2.11 Property, plant and equipment
SEATH In-Building Cellular Enhancement Systems ("IBS") under
machinery are shown at fair value, based on valuation by
independent professional valuer and/or the Company's internal
investment officers, less subsequent depreciation. Any accumulated
depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the
gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated
to the revalued amount of the asset. A revaluation surplus is
credited to other comprehensive income and accumulated in
shareholders' equity under the heading of revaluation surplus and
is transferred to retained earning when the asset is sold. A
revaluation decrease is charged against any related revaluation
surplus to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount
held in the revaluation surplus in respect of that same asset. Any
remaining balance of the decrease then be recognised as an expense
in profit and loss. All other property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost less depreciation. The cost of self-constructed
assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overheads and
the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the
items and restoring the site on which they are located.
The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of
property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an
item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future
economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying values
of any parts replaced as a result of such replacements are expensed
at the time of replacement. All other costs associated with the
maintenance of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the
consolidated income statement as incurred.
Depreciation is charged to the consolidated income statement on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of property,
plant and equipment, and major components that are accounted for
separately. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 6 to 10 years
Plant and machinery 3 to 7 years
Office equipment 2 to 5 years
Motor vehicles 6 to 10 years
Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful lives
are reviewed at least annually, irrespective of whether assets are
revalued.
2.12 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held
for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a
sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower
of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except
for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from
employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that
are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance
contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent
write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less
costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in
fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but
not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously
recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of
the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised
at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal
group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified
as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the
liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale
continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of
a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented
separately from the other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are
presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has
been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area
of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of
such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary
acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of
discontinued operations are presented separately in the
consolidated income statement.
2.13 Impairment of assets
(a) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example,
prepayments for acquisitions of investment properties, are not
subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped
at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable
cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at
each reporting period.
(b) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether
there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of
financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of
financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred
only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of
the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or
group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Assets carried at amortised cost
(i) For loans and receivables, 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 (excluding future
credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the
financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying
amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is
recognised in the consolidated income statement. If a loan has a
variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined
under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure
impairment on the basis of an instrument's fair value using an
observable market price.
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 (such as an
improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the
previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the
consolidated income statement.
(ii) For trade receivables, individual receivables which are
known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying
amount directly. The other receivables are assessed collectively to
determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment
has been incurred but not yet been identified. For these
receivables the estimated impairment losses are recognised in a
separate provision for impairment. The group considers that there
is evidence of impairment if any of the following indicators are
present:
-- significant financial difficulties of the debtor,
-- probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and
-- default or delinquency in payments.
Receivables for which an impairment provision was recognised are
written off against the provision when there is no expectation of
recovering additional cash.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss within other
expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off
are credited against other expenses.
The Group's trade and other receivables, prepayments for
acquisitions of investment property and interests in associates are
subject to impairment testing.
2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in bank and on hand, as
well as short term highly liquid investments such as money market
instruments and bank deposits with original terms of not more than
three months.
2.15 Share capital
Ordinary shares were classified as equity. Share capital is
determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Additional paid-in capital includes any premiums received on the
initial issuance of the share capital. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds. Any
transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are
deducted from additional paid-in capital, net of any related income
tax benefits.
On 22 July 2015, the ordinary shares were redesignated as PES
and subsequently classified as financial liabilities. Refer to Note
15 for details.
2.16 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or
services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business
from suppliers. Trade and other payables are recognised initially
at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
2.17 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of
transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the
consolidated income statement over the period of the borrowings
using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised
as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable
that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case,
the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there
is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility
will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for
liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to
which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the
obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial
liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another
party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets
transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss
as other income or finance costs.
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and
the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish
all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss
is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the
group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
2.18 Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the
period in which they are incurred.
2.19 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement, except to
the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax
is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those
obligations to, or claims from, tax authorities relating to the
current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting
date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws
applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate based on the
taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or
liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the
consolidated income statement.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method
on temporary differences. This involves the comparison of the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated
financial statements with their respective tax bases. In addition,
tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income
tax credits to the Group are assessed for recognition as deferred
tax assets.
Deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of
goodwill, or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability
unless the related transaction is business combination or affects
tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences
associated with shares in subsidiaries and associates is not
provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be
controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not
occur in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that they will be able to be offset against future taxable
income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without
discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their
respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Most changes in
deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of
tax expense in the consolidated income statement. Only changes in
deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to a change in value
of assets or liabilities that is charged directly to other
comprehensive income are charged or credited directly to other
comprehensive income.
2.20 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions
are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to
settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence
available at the reporting date, including the risks and
uncertainties associated with the present obligation and there is
uncertainty about the timing or amount of the future expenditure
require in settlement. Where there are a num-ber of similar
obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in
settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as
a whole. Long-term pro-vi-sions are discounted to their present
values, where the time value of money is material.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted
to reflect the current best estimate of the Group's management.
2.21 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for
services rendered, stated net of discounts, returns and value added
taxes. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can
be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have
been met for each of the Group's activities, as described
below:
(a) Sale of services
The Group's revenue represents the rental income from Southeast
Asia Telecomunication Holdings ("SEATH") Base Transceiver Station
("BTS") tower network and SEATH In-Building Cellular Enhancement
Systems ("IBS") leasing services, information rescue services and
from lease of infrastructure in Ba Thien industrial park.
Revenue from SEATH BTS tower network and SEATH IBS services is
recognised in the accounting period in which the services are
rendered and the rental income is due to be received.
Revenue from lease of infrastructure is recognised on the
straight line basis over the entire lease term. Rental income
received in advance over one year is recognised under long-term
unearned revenue.
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on the effective interest rate
basis.
(c) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the
dividend is established.
2.22 Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the
ability to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial or operational
decisions. Enterprises and individuals that directly, or indirectly
through one or more immediately, control or are controlled by, or
under common control with, the Company including holding company,
subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries are related parties of the
Company. Associates and individuals owning directly, or indirectly,
an interest in the voting power of the Company that give them
significant influence over the entity, key management personnel,
including directors and officers of the Company and close members
of their families. When considering possible related party
relationships, attention is directed to the substances of the
relationship, and not merely the legal form.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group
undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about
recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements,
estimates and assumptions made by management, and may not equal the
estimated results. Information about significant judgements,
estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on
recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses are discussed below.
3.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
(a) Fair value of investment properties
The investment properties of the Group are stated at fair value
in accordance with Note 2.6. The fair values of investment
properties of Ba Thien Industrial Park and SEATH Base Transceiver
Station ("BTS") tower network have been determined by independent
professional valuers and the Company's internal investment officers
respectively. These valuations are based on certain assumptions,
which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from
the actual results. The estimated fair values provided by the
independent professional valuers and/or the Company's internal
investment officers are used by the Audit and Valuation Committee
as the primary basis for estimating each property's fair value. In
making its judgement, the committee considers information from a
variety of sources, including:
i. current prices in an active market for properties of
different nature, condition or location (or subject to different
lease or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those
differences;
ii. recent prices of similar properties in less active markets,
with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions
since the date of the transactions that occurred at those
prices;
iii. any other adjustments relevant to the property held by the
Group but which were not factored into the valuation by the
independent professional valuers, such as land compensation, costs
and any other discount factors; and
iv. discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates
of future cash flows, derived from the terms of external evidence
such as current market rents and sales prices for similar
properties in the same location and condition and using discount
rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in
the amount and timing of cash flows.
Refer to sensitive analysis for key valuation inputs in Note
28(b)(v).
(b) Fair value of SEATH IBS under property, plant and equipment
The IBS of the Group are stated at fair value in accordance with
Note 2.11. The fair values of IBS have been determined by
independent professional valuers and/or the Company's internal
investment officers. These valuations are based on certain
assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially
differ from the actual results. The estimated fair values provided
by the independent professional valuers and/or the Company's
internal investment officers are used by the Audit and Valuation
Committee as the primary basis for estimating IBS's fair value. In
making its judgement, the committee considers information from a
variety of sources, including discounted cash flow projections
based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, derived from the
terms of external evidence such as current market rents, and using
discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the
uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows. Refer to
sensitive analysis for key valuation inputs in Note 28(b)(v).
(c) Fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Listed securities are quoted at the bid price at each reporting
date. For unlisted securities which are traded over-the-counter,
the fair value is the average brokers' price obtained from a
minimum sample of three reputable securities companies at the
reporting date, or the published daily net asset value.
The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in an
active market (for example, unlisted securities where market prices
are not readily available) is determined by using valuation
techniques. The Group uses judgement to select a variety of methods
and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions
existing at each reporting date. The valuations are also obtained
from the Company's internal investment officers to evaluate and
adjust valuations. The outcomes may vary from the actual prices
that would be achieved in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the reporting date. Refer to sensitive analysis for
key valuation inputs in Note 28(a)(iv).
(d) Fair value of prepayment for acquisition of Long An Industrial Service project
The prepayment for acquisition reflects the Group's investment
in the Long An Industrial Service project. The value of this asset
was originally based on the sale and purchase agreement signed
between the Group and the purchaser in June 2012; however, the
buyer has defaulted on its obligations to settle the outstanding
balance receivable, citing market conditions. The Investment
Manager commenced legal procedures on 15 April 2015 to recover the
outstanding balance. On 16 June 2016, the court ruling result is
favourable to the Group which was appealed by the buyer to a higher
court. A final settlement was agreed with the purchaser on 4
October 2016 and the defendant paid the finally agreed amount in
October 2016. In light of these developments, the Group has
estimated the recoverable amount at 30 June 2016 based on the
amount actually received.
3.2 Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies
(a) Classification of SEATH BTS tower network as investment properties
Management has classified the BTS tower network as investment
properties measured at fair value. Management determined that BTS
tower network can be considered as similar to buildings and thus
can be classified as investment properties. The tower network also
displays similar characteristics to investment properties, in that
space on the tower network is let to telecommunication tenants to
earn rentals.
(b) Investments in Southern Star Telecommunication Equipment
Joint Stock Company ("SST") and Vien Tin Joint Stock Company ("Vien
Tin")
Management assessed that its acquisitions of Southern Star
Telecommunication Equipment Joint Stock Company ("SST") and Vien
Tin Joint Stock Company ("Vien Tin") in pervious year were
acquisitions of businesses and not acquisitions of assets. The
assessment was based on the criteria of whether at the date of
acquisition, a business existed. The assessment criteria is whether
there were inputs, significant processes and outputs on the date
the subsidiary was required. In the context of SST and Vien Tin,
management determined that at the date of acquisitions, the
businesses of SST and Vien Tin consist of their in-building
cellular enhancement systems, and that they have the ability to
create economic benefits to provide a return to their owners.
Consequently, the acquisitions of SST and Vien Tin have been
accounted for as business combinations.
4 SEGMENT INFORMATION
In identifying its operating segments, management generally
follows the Group's sectors of investments which are based on
internal management reporting information for the Investment
Manager's management, monitoring of investments, and decision
making. The operating segments by investment portfolio include
energy, property and infrastructure development,
telecommunications, transportation and logistics, general
infrastructure, other capital markets and cash.
Each of the operating segments are managed and monitored
individually by the Investment Manager as each requires different
resources and approaches. The Investment Manager assesses, as
reported to the Board, segment profit or loss using a measure which
is consistent with that in profit or loss. There have been no
changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to
determine reported segment profit or loss.

(d) Restating prior periods
Under IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued
operations, the Company must disclose prior period information for
discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements so
that the disclosure cover all operations that have been
discontinued at the end of the reporting period of the latest
period presented. The discontinued operations presented in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated
statement of cash flows in the comparative period therefore include
all operations that have been discontinued by the current year end.
This means that the consolidated statements of comprehensive income
and cash flows for the comparative period show as discontinued
operations both reported as discontinued in the previous year
together with those classified as discontinued in the current year.
As a consequence the restated prior year statements of
comprehensive income and cash flows will not be entirely comparable
to the current year's figures.
In contrast, the balance sheet information for the prior year is
neither restated nor remeasured.

15 SHARE CAPITAL
At 1 July 2015 the Company had 10 billion authorised ordinary
shares of USD 0.01 each and 350,221,094 outstanding ordinary shares
(equating to share capital of USD3,502,211). Following the
restructuring of the Company's share capital on 22 July 2015 the
Company has had two classes of shares: PES and LPS. The PES give
the holders the right to receive cash distributions from the
realisation of the private equity investments. The LPS were subject
to mandatory repurchase in August 2016 in return for VVF shares.
Both classes of shares meet the definition for financial
liabilities under International Accounting Standard 32 ("IAS 32")
(refer Note 2.2).
Movements of LPS and PES during the year were as follows:

Under the liquidation basis, all long-term borrowings which are
expected to be realised or settled within the next twelve months
from the reporting date are classified as short-term borrowings as
at 30 June 2016 (Note 2.1).
According to the original contract terms, the Group's borrowings
mature on a range of dates up to October 2019 and bear a range of
annual interest rates from 3.9% to 4.1% for amounts denominated in
USD (2015: 3.9% for amounts denominated in USD and from 3.6% to
11.5% for amounts denominated in VND).
As at 30 June 2016, the Group's borrowings amounting to USD9.0
million are subject to floating interest rates (2015: USD12.5
million bore floating interest rates and USD 0.8 million was
subject to fixed interest rates). On 30 November 2016, the loan was
fully repaid to lender.
The borrowings are secured by the SEATH BTS tower network
disclosed in Note 6.
The maturities of the Group's borrowings at the end of the
reporting year based on the original contract term are as
follows:
30 June 2016 30 June 2015
USD'000 USD'000
6 months or less 1,750 2,024
6 - 12 months 1,750 1,809
1 - 5 years 5,542 9,359
Over 5 years - 96
---------- ----------
9,042 13,288
The fair value of short-term borrowings approximates their
carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant.
The fair value of long-term borrowings as at 30 June 2016 is USD9.0
million (2015: USD8.6 million). They are level 3 fair values in the
fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs,
including own credit risk which are estimated using the discounted
cash flow method. The Group's borrowings are denominated in the
following currencies:
30 June 2016 30 June 2015
USD'000 USD'000

20 REVENUE AND COST OF SALES
The Group's revenue represents rental income from the SEATH BTS
tower network and the SEATH IBS and associated leasing and
information rescue services which were classified as assets held
for sale as at 30 June 2016 (Note 14). All revenue is derived from
external customers, although 70% of total sales during the year
amounting to USD13.6 million (2015: 77% amounting to USD10.8
million) was sourced from one customer.
The Group's cost of sales mainly relates to the operating costs
of the BTS and IBS leasing business and provision of related
services.

23 INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Vietnam Infrastructure Limited is domiciled in the Cayman
Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, there is no
income, state, corporation, capital gains or other taxes payable by
the Company.
The majority of the Group's subsidiaries are domiciled in the
British Virgin Islands and so have tax exempt status.
The principal operating subsidiaries of the Group are
established in Vietnam and are subject to corporate income tax in
Vietnam. The income from these subsidiaries is taxable at the
applicable tax rate in Vietnam. On 19 June 2013, the Vietnamese
National Assembly approved a new corporate income tax law. Under
the new law, the standard corporate income tax has been reduced
from 22% to 20% effective 1 January 2016. A provision of USD0.7
million was provided for corporate income tax payable by the
Vietnamese subsidiaries for the current year (2015: USD0.4
million).
The relationship between the expected income tax expense based
on the applicable income tax rate and the tax expense actually
recognised in the consolidated income statement can be reconciled
as follows:

26 RELATED PARTIES
(a) Management fees
The Group is managed by VinaCapital Investment Management
Limited (the "Investment Manager"), incorporated and registered as
a licensed fund manager in the Cayman Islands. From 1 July 2015 to
26 July 2015 the Investment Manager received a fee based on the
gross asset value of the Group, payable monthly in arrears, at an
annual rate of 2% (30 June 2015: 2%). On 20 November 2014, the
Company signed a new investment management agreement with the
Investment Manager, which became effective on 27 July 2015 (the
"new Investment Management Agreement"). Under this agreement no
management fee is charged by the Investment Manager to the Company
on either the LPS or the PES.
Total management fees for the year amounted to USD0.3 million
(30 June 2015: USD4.3 million) (Note 21), there was no outstanding
accrued fees due to the Investment Manager at the reporting date
(2015: USD0.4 million) (Note 19).
(b) Performance fees
The Investment Manager is also entitled to a performance fee
equal to 20% of the realised returns over an annualised compounding
hurdle rate of 8%. There was no performance fees payable for the
financial years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016.
Under the new Investment Management Agreement, no management fee
is charged by the Investment Manager to the Company. Instead, the
Investment Manager will receive the incentive fees as indicated in
Note 26(c).
(c) Realisation fees and incentive fees
Under the new Investment Management Agreement, the Investment
Manager will receive a realisation fee and an incentive fee based
on sales proceeds relating to the Private Equity Portfolio:
1) Upon realisation of the Company's private equity assets, the
Company will pay a fee of 3% of the net sale proceeds of each asset
realised once the net sale proceeds are received by the Company.
Total realisation fees for the year amounted to USD2.6 million
(2015: nil) (Note 21), with USD0.5 million (2015: nil) (Note 19)
currently due to Investment Manager and USD1.7 million (Note 18)
accrued as a future payable to the Investment Manager at the
reporting date.
2) The Company will also pay an incentive fee of 10% of the
amount by which the total return from the sale of private equity
assets exceeds a hurdle amount of USD80.9 million. The total return
equals the aggregate of all net sale proceeds and other
distribution received by the Company from private equity
investments. This incentive fee will be paid when the proceeds
collected from private equity asset sales have exceeded the hurdle
amount.
27 OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Group leases various offices, land for SEATH BTS tower
network and the SEATH IBS under non-cancellable operating leases
expiring within two to eight years. The leases have varying terms,

divestment (Note 5).
28 RECOGNISED FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
a) Financial assets and financial liabilities
i) Fair value hierarchy
The following table presents financial assets measured at fair
value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined
as below:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e as prices) or indirectly (i.e derived from prices); and
- Level 3: inputs for the assets that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial assets are classified is
determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the
fair value measurement.
The financial assets measured at fair value in the balance sheet
are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:

ii) During the year, there were no transfers between the fair
value hierarchy levels (2015: nil). There were also no other
reclassifications of financial assets in the current year and prior
year.Valuation techniques used to determine fair values
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial
instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices for level 1 listed shares;
- the use of dealer quotes or published daily net asset value for level 2 unlisted shares;
- the fair value of level 3 unlisted equity as at 30 June 2015
and of borrowing is determined using discounted cash flow
analysis.
iii) Valuation process
The Company's internal investment officers perform the valuation
of listed and unlisted securities for financial reporting purposes.
The valuation results are reported directly to the Audit and
Valuation Committee and approved by the Board for adoption.
The main level 3 inputs used by the Group are derived and
evaluated as follows:
- Interest rate on borrowings - based on the terms of existing
commercial loans and financial lease contracts with Export Credit
Agency;
- Discount rates - reflecting current market assessment of the
uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; and
- Salvage value of aircraft - based on forecasted income from
selling the aircraft at the end of the leasing period.
i) Valuation input and relationship to level 3 fair value
The following table analyses the significant unobservable inputs
and the impact of possible changes to the fair value of the private
equity instrument:

i) Fair value hierarchy
This note explains the judgements and estimates made in
determining the fair values of the non-financial assets that are
recognised and measured at fair value in the consolidated financial
statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the
inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its
non-financial assets and liabilities into the three levels
prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each
level is provided in Note 28(a).

The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of
fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change
in circumstances that caused the transfer.
(*) During the year, the Group disposed of its 100% equity
interest in Vina-CPK Limited for a total consideration of USD22.1
million. The book value of the net assets at the disposal date was
USD20.4 million, resulting in a gain of USD1.5 million for the
Group which was recognised in the consolidated income statement
(Note 14).
There were no transfers between levels in prior year.
iv) Valuation technique used to determine level 3 fair values
Specific valuation techniques used to determine the level 3 fair
value include:
- sale comparison approach for level 3 investment properties as at 30 June 2016;
- discounted cash flow ("DCF") method for level 3 investment
properties as at 30 June 2015 and level 3 plant and machinery.
v) Significant unobservable inputs (level 3)
The significant unobservable inputs used in the DCF calculation
for the respective investment properties and plant and machinery
are as follows:
SEATH IBS
- Future IBS growth to generate incremental rental cash inflows
- such growth is funded by recurring cash inflows from existing
leases while rental for new IBS and tenants is based on the same
terms as those of existing leases;
- Discount rates - reflecting current market assessment of the
uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; and
- Terminal value - reflecting management's view of long-term growth in the sector.
SEATH BTS tower network
- Future tower and tenancy growth to generate incremental rental
cash inflows - such growth is funded by recurring cash inflows from
existing leases while rental for new towers and tenants is based on
the same terms as those of existing leases;
- Discount rates - reflecting current market assessment of the
uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; and
- Terminal value - reflecting management's view of long-term growth in the sector.
Vina-CPK Limited (Ba Thien Industrial Park)
- Sale price per square metre - based on current market comparable;
- Costs to complete the development of the property - based on
management's experience and knowledge of market conditions;
- Completion dates - expected completion dates based on
management's experience and knowledge taking into account the need
for approvals from oversight bodies at various times in the
development process; and
- Discount rates - reflecting the current market assessment of
the uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows.
vi) Valuation process
The Group's plant and machinery (IBS) and investment properties
(BTS and Vina-CPK Limited) are valued by the independent
professional qualified valuers who hold recognised relevant
professional qualifications and have recent experience in the
locations and categories of the investment properties being valued
(IBS and Vina-CPK) or the Company's internal investment officers
(BTS). The estimated fair values provided by the independent
professional valuers and the Company's internal investment officers
are used by the Audit and Valuation Committee as the primary basis
for estimating each property's fair value. Management reviews the
valuations performed by the Company's internal investment officers
and the independent professional valuers for financial reporting
purposes, and the valuations, as adjusted if appropriate, are
approved by the Board for adoption after deliberation in the Audit
and Valuation Committee.
vii) Valuation inputs and relationship to fair value
The following table analyses the range of the significant
unobservable inputs and the impact of changes of these to the fair
value of investment properties and property, plant and

29 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group invests in listed and unlisted equity instruments,
debt instruments, assets and other opportunities in Vietnam and
other countries with the objective of achieving medium to long-term
capital appreciation and providing investment income.
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market
risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risk);
credit risk; and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk
management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the
Group's financial performance. The Group's risk management is
coordinated by the Investment Manager who manages the distribution
of the assets to achieve the investment objectives.
Since the restructuring of the Group on 15 December 2014 the
Company has sought to progressively realise its Private Equity
Portfolio with an objective of completing this exercise by 30 June
2017. Consequently, the Group's objective to maximise capital
returns to its shareholders.
The most significant financial risks the Group is exposed to are
described below:
(a) Market risk analysis
Foreign exchange and foreign currency sensitivity risks
The Group's exposure to risk resulting from changes in foreign
currency exchange rates is moderate as although transactions in
Vietnam are settled in the VND, the value of the VND has
historically been closely linked to that of the USD, the reporting
currency.
The Group has not entered into any hedging mechanisms as the
estimated benefits of available instruments outweigh their costs.
On an ongoing basis the Investment Manager analyses the current
economic environment and expected future conditions and decides the
optimal currency mix considering the risk of currency fluctuation,
interest rate return differentials, and transaction costs. The
Investment Manager updates the Board regularly and reports on any
significant changes for further actions to be taken.
As at 30 June 2016, the Group has foreign currency exposure
mainly arising from holding financial assets and financial
liabilities which is not denominated in its functional currency. At
the reporting date, had the VND weakened/strengthened by 5% in
relation to USD, with all other variables held constant, there
would be a net exchange loss/gain of USD1.1 million (2015: a net
exchange gain/loss of USD0.3 million).
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused
by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or
factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.
The Group invests directly and indirectly in listed and unlisted
equity securities and is exposed to market price risk of these
securities due to the uncertainties about future values of the
investment securities.
As at 30 June 2016, all equity investments of the Group are the
Group's interest in an open-ended fund which in turn invests in the
listed securities that publicly traded on the Vietnam stock
exchanges. For the financial year 2015, the majority of the Group's
equity investments were publicly traded on the Vietnam stock
exchanges. The Group has no concentration in individual equity
positions exceeding 5% of the Group's net assets.
All securities investments present a risk of loss of capital.
The investment manager manages this risk through the careful
selection of securities and other financial instruments within
specified limits and by holding a diversified portfolio of listed
and unlisted instruments. In addition, the performance of
investments held by the Group is monitored by the investment
manager on a monthly basis and reviewed by the Board of Directors
at each quarterly meeting.
If the prices of the securities increased or decreased by 10%,
the impact on the net asset value of the Group would be a gain or
loss of USD3.4 million (2015: gain or loss of USD6.3 million).
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is related to
interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities. Cash
and cash equivalents are subject to interest at fixed rates. They
are exposed to fair value changes due to interest rate changes. The
Group currently has financial liabilities arising from long-term
borrowings in USD with floating interest rates. The Group's
forecast of the interest rates is favourable for the borrowings and
it has limited exposure to cash flow and interest rate risk.
(b) Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to
pay amounts in full when due. Impairment provisions are provided
for losses that have been incurred by the Group at the reporting
date.
The Investment Manager maintains a list of approved banks for
holding deposits and set aggregate limits for deposits or exposures
to individual banks. While this list is formally reviewed each
month, it is updated to reflect developments in the market on a
timely basis as new information becomes available.
Of the USD25.6 million (30 June 2015: USD50.7 million) cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments as at 30 June 2016,
USD20.8 million (30 June 2015: USD37.0 million) was deposited with
a bank that has a Standard and Poors ('S&P') rating of AA- at
the reporting date. Another USD3.9 million (30 June 2015: USD9.5
million) was deposited with banks that have S&P ratings of
between B+ and BB- at the reporting date. The remaining USD0.9
million (30 June 2015: USD4.2 million) was held with banks that
have no credit rating by any rating agencies.
All transactions in listed securities are settled upon delivery
using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered low, as
delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has
received payment. Payment is made for purchases once the securities
have been received by the broker. The trade will be unwound if
either party fails to meet its obligations.
The carrying amount of trade and other receivables represent the
Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its
financial assets.
As at 30 June 2016, the Group did not provide impairment for
trade and receivables of assets of disposal groups classified as
held for sale (30 June 2015: nil). The credit quality of financial
assets that are neither past due nor impaired is assessed by
management for each period end. This assessment takes into account
the financial health of the customers, or history of payments and
defaults of existing customers of the Group. Debtors and amounts
due from a related party that are neither past due nor impaired are
substantially companies with good collection records with the
Group.
No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period other
than those impaired as disclosed in Notes 3.1(d) and Note 7
relating to the prepayment for acquisition of investment in the
Long An Industrial Service project. Management does not expect any
losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
In accordance with the Group's policy, the Investment Manager
continuously monitors the Group's credit position, identified
either individually or by group, and incorporates this information
into its credit controls.
The Group's Investment Manager reconsiders the valuations of
financial assets that are impaired or overdue at each reporting
date based on the payment status of the counterparties,
recoverability of receivables, and prevailing market
conditions.
(c) Liquidity risk analysis
The Group invests in both listed securities that are traded in
active markets and unlisted securities that are not actively
traded.
The Group's listed securities are considered to be readily
realisable, as they are mainly listed on the Vietnam Stock
Exchanges. However, there have been times in the past when, due to
restrictions imposed by the market daily trading bands, shares
cannot be sold immediately. Under such circumstances it is likely
that the Group's holdings in listed shares are not immediately
realisable.
Unlisted securities, which are not traded in an organised public
market, may be illiquid. As a result, the Group may not be able to
quickly liquidate its investments in these instruments at an amount
close to fair value in order to respond to its liquidity
requirements or to other specific events such as deterioration in
the creditworthiness of a particular issuer. However, the Group has
the ability to borrow in the short-term to ensure sufficient cash
is available for any settlements due.
At the reporting date, the Group's liabilities which have
contractual maturities are summarised below:

The above contractual maturities reflect the gross cash flows,
which may differ to the carrying value of the liabilities at the
reporting date. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying
value as the impact of discounting is not significant.
(d) Capital management
The Group's capital management objective is to maximise the
return of capital to shareholders.
The Group considers the capital managed as equal to the net
assets attributable to the holders of ordinary shares. The Group is
not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The
Group has engaged the Investment Manager to allocate the net assets
in such a way so-as-to maximise the return of capital to
shareholders.
