Prospects and Investing Policy

Investing Policy

The Company's Investing Policy is to focus on identifying and acquiring quoted and unquoted financial services businesses based in Asia, though other geographical areas will be considered should appropriate opportunities occur which could benefit the Company. By actively investing in businesses with complementary areas of expertise, which may for example include real estate, mortgage financing and other such activities, the Directors believe that it is possible to generate considerable opportunities for the cross selling of services between the different operations and countries. The Directors also intend to continue to make minority investments in such financial services businesses where it would be a passive investor, but where those investments provide the opportunity for enhancing the growth prospects of the Company.

In regards to the acquisitions that the Company expects to make, the Directors may adopt earn-out structures, with specific performance targets being set for the sellers of the businesses acquired, and with suitable metrics applied.

The Company may invest by way of outright acquisition or by the acquisition of assets, including the intellectual property, of a relevant business, partnerships or joint venture arrangements. Such investments may result in the Company acquiring the whole or part of a company (which in the case of an investment in a company may be private or listed on a stock exchange, and which may be pre-revenue), and such investments may constitute a minority stake in the company or project in question. The Company's investments may take the form of equity, joint venture debt, convertible instruments, licence rights, or other financial instruments as the Directors deem appropriate.

The Company will be both an active and a passive investor and the Directors will place no minimum or maximum limit on the length of time that any investment may be held.

There is no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may invest, nor the proportion of the Company's gross assets that any investment may represent at any time and the Company will consider possible opportunities anywhere in the world.

There are no borrowing limits in the Articles of Association of the Company. The Directors do not intend to acquire any cross-holdings in other corporate entities that have an interest in the Ordinary Shares.

There are no restrictions in the type of investment that the Company might make nor on the type of opportunity that may be considered other than set out in this Investing Policy.

As the Company's ordinary shares are traded on AIM this provides a facility for shareholders to realise their investment in the Company. In addition, the Directors may consider from time to time other means of facilitating returns to shareholders including dividends, share repurchases, demergers, schemes of arrangement or liquidation.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 31 December 2010

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Tembusu Investments Limited is a company incorporated in Bermuda under the Bermuda Companies Act 1981. The Company's shares are traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The address of the registered office is disclosed on page 1 of the financial statements. The principal activities of the Company are described in the directors' report.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The company has adopted the following new and amended IFRSs as of 1 January 2010:

• IFRS 3 (revised), 'Business combinations' and consequential amendments to IAS 27, 'Consolidated and separate financial statements', IAS 28, 'Investments in associates' and IAS 31, 'Interests in joint ventures', effective prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009.

The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the statement of comprehensive income. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the minority interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the minority interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed.

• IAS 27 (revised), 'Consolidated and separate financial statements', (effective from 1 July 2009). The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. The company will apply IAS 27 (revised) prospectively to transactions with non-controlling interests from 1 January 2010.

Ÿ IAS 32 (amendment), 'Financial instruments: presentation - classification of rights issue', is effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010 and amended the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro-rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity's non-derivative equity instruments, or to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. This amendment will have no impact on the company after initial application.

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2010, but are not currently relevant for the company:

Ÿ IFRIC 17, 'Distributions of non-cash assets to owners', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. This is not currently applicable to the company, as it has not made any non-cash distributions.

Ÿ IAS 24 (Amendment), 'Related party transactions'. The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. It clarified definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The company does not expect any impact on its financial position or performance.

·; IFRIC 14 (Amendment), 'Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement'. The amendment to IFRIC 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 with retrospective application. The amendment provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount of a net pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset. The amendment is deemed to have no impact on the financial statements of the company.

·; IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments: classification and measurement', as issued reflects the first phase of the IASB work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets as defined in IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address classification and measurement of financial liabilities, hedge accounting and derecognition. The completion of this project is expected in early 2011. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 might have an effect on the classification and measurement of the company's assets. At this juncture it is difficult for the company to comprehend the impact on its financial position and performance.

·; IFRIC 19, 'Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments', is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010. The interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair value. In case that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. The adoption of this interpretation will have no effect on the financial statements of the company.

·; Improvements to IFRS (issued in May 2010). The IASB issued improvement to IFRSs, an omnibus of amendments to its IFRS standards. The amendments have not been adopted as they become effective for annual periods on or after 1 January 2011 or 1 July 2010. The amendments listed below, are considered to have a reasonable possible impact on the company:

- IFRS 3 Business combinations

- IFRS 7 Financial instruments: disclosures

- IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements

- IAS 27 Consolidated and separate financial statements

The company expects no impact from the adoption of the above amendments on its financial position or performance.

Subsidiary

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Company. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Company's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.

Subsidiaries whose business are dormant or of low volume and that are insignificant for the presentation of a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and earnings performance of the Company are not consolidated. They are recognized in the Company's financial statements at the lower of cost or fair value. The aggregate equity of the Tembusu Invest Pte Ltd ("TIPL") amounts to 0.04% (previous year: 0.09%) of Company's equity. The aggregate loss after tax of TIPL amounts to 0.36% (previous year: Profit 0.20%) of the profit after tax of the Company.

Functional currency translation

a) Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (£), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using 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 income statement.

Taxation

The Company is an exempted company under the laws of Bermuda and is granted exemption from all forms of taxation in Bermuda until 2016.

Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses on continuing operations are recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the functions of the impaired asset.

Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading and other assets designated as such on inception are included in this category. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for sale in the short term.

Purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised on trade date being the date the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset to the market. A financial asset is derecognised when the contract that gives rise to it is settled, sold, cancelled or expires.

Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the documented investment strategy of the Company. Information about these financial assets is provided internally on a fair value basis to the Company's key management. The Company's investment strategy is to identify and invest in quoted and unquoted financial services businesses based in Asia (excluding Japan) to address the growing Far Eastern markets for financial services. Consequently, all investments are classified as held at fair value through profit or loss.

Transaction costs on purchases are expensed immediately through the income statement in accordance with IFRS.

All investments are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value being included in the income statement as gains (losses) on investments held at fair value. On sale, the realised gain or loss calculated by reference to the proceeds less carrying value is recognised in the income statement.

The fair value of quoted investments is determined by reference to market bid prices at the close of business on the end of the reporting period.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Financial Instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transactions costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

A financial instrument is recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Company's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Company transfers the financial assets to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Company commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Company's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Fair values

The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables of the Company at the balance sheet date approximated their fair values, due to relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company provides financial guarantees to licensed banks for credit facilities extended to a subsidiary company. The fair value of such financial guarantees is not expected to be significantly different as the probability of the subsidiary company defaulting on the credit lines is remote.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The investments are valued in accordance with the policy stated above. It is the directors' opinion that the carrying value of trade receivables and trade payables approximates their fair value due to their short term maturity. Therefore, the directors consider all assets to be carried at a valuation, which equates to fair value.

Investments are made in a combination of equity and fixed rate financial instruments so as to provide potential high future capital growth.

In accordance with IAS 39, the Group has reviewed all contracts for embedded derivatives that are required to be separately accounted for if they do not meet certain criteria set out in the standard. No embedded derivatives have been identified by the Group.

The accounting policies for financial instruments have been applied to the items below:

Assets classified as fair value through profit or loss were designated as such upon initial recognition. The Company has not reclassified financial assets between any of the categories detailed in IAS39, either in current or prior periods.

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. The Company's overall risk management programme focuses on unpredictability and seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Board reviews key risks on a regular basis and, where appropriate, actions are taken to mitigate the key risks identified.

3.1 Interest rate risk and foreign currency risk

The Company does not have formal policies on interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. However, the Company's exposure in these areas as at the balance sheet date was minimal.

3.2 Liquidity risk

The Company prepares periodic working capital forecasts for the foreseeable future, allowing an assessment of the cash requirements of the Company, to manage liquidity risk. The directors have considered the risk posed by liquidity and are satisfied that there is sufficient growth and equity in the Company.

3.3 Capital risk

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

4. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The company has no employees.

During the period the company paid directors' emoluments of £39,107 (2009 - £37,500).

The average number of directors during the year was three.

5. SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

There is no segmental area of operations as the company is not trading.

8. TAX

The Company is an exempted company under the laws of Bermuda and is granted exemption from all forms of taxation in Bermuda until 2016.

9. LOSS PER SHARE

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss of £259,850 (2009 - £333,679) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, which was 60,000,000 (2009 - 60,000,000)

The diluted loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares adjusted to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. For the year ended 31 December 2010 the diluted loss per share is equivalent to the basic loss per share.

10. FINANCIAL ASSETS DESIGNATED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

All items held as fair value through profit or loss were designated as such upon initial recognition. Movements in investment at fair value through profit or loss are summarised as follows:

In May 2008, the Company acquired 21,915,861 ordinary shares in European Islamic Investment Bank Plc ("EIIB") for a total consideration of £1,845,066. EIIB is traded on the AIM of London Stock Exchange. At 31 December 2010, the share price of EIB fell to 2.80 pence per share resulting to a loss arising from change in fair value made of £53,540.

The investment was determined by reference to market bid prices as at 31 December 2010.

11. INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY

On 28 August 2007, the Company acquired 1 ordinary share capital of Primefold Pte Ltd ("Primefold"), a company registered in Singapore for SGD1 (£0.44).
