Management, particularly Property Manager Bill Cheong, was very helpful in facilitating all stages and in preparing the 150-plus pages of analysis on patronage patterns, membership profile, maintenance cost, member-to-seat ratios,finance statistics, etc.

• More entertainment and F&B events.
Looking Ahead 1 am therefore pleased to report that although revenues for the first six months [Feb - July] were way below budget [net loss of
$707,360] the next six months' revenues were far better. F&B's net loss of $182.713
for the last six months resulted in a full-year
loss of $890,073. The F&B management and staff have to be congratulated. Well done. I am also pleased to report that by the time the AGM is held, the Churchill and Tavern
kitchen upgrade tenders would have been concluded. Awarding of the contract is expected by early to mid June.
There will be much work to be done by the incoming F&B Convenor and his SubCommittee. It is recommended however by this outgoing Sub-Committee that the Adhoc Committee be kept intact so that there is continuity to ensure that the tight schedule being planned is met and that there is minimum disruption of F&B services to The Tanglin Club members.Scheduling the closing down of the two kitchens and organising back up cooking facilities to cater to The Tavern and the Churchill Room, albeit with a limited
menu, will need a great deal of co-ordinatior> between the Adhoc Committee,the new

FINANCIAL STATEMENTB Notes to the Financial Statements 31 January 2004 (In Singapore dollars] 1,
Club information
The registered office of the Club is located at 5 Stevens Road, Singapore 257814. The principal activity of the Club is to provide social and recreational amenities for its members. There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity during the year. The Club operates in Singapore and had 237 employees as of 31 January 2004 (2003: 250].
2. Summary of significant accounting policies [a] Basis of accounting
The financial statements of the Club have been prepared in accordance with the Constitution of the Club and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards ("FRS"]. In previous years, the financial statements were prepared in accordance with Singapore Statements of Accounting Standard ("SAS"). The transition from SAS to FRS did not result in any significant change in accounting policies.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of the land in 1970.
The financial statements of the Club are expressed in Singapore dollars. [b] Revenue recognition (i]
Entrance fees
Entrance fees are recognised as revenue on a cash basis but are taken directly to the accumulated operating fund, and not through the income and expenditure account. (ii]
Annual fees
Annual fees are recognised as revenue when they are billed. (a] Annual fees from Permanent Absent Members Annual fees are billed to Permanent Absent Members for whom the Club has a current address.
(b) Annual fees from Term Members
During the year, the Club introduced a Term Membership for which an annual fee is levied. (iii]
All other income is recognised as revenue on an accrual basis in the Income and Expenditure Account.
[c] Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write-off the cost of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives, which are as follows :
Buildings Furniture, fixtures and equipment
38
-
50 years or over the remaining useful life 3-10 years
Notes to the Financial Statements
January 2004
(In Singapore dollars)
Assets costing less than $500 and groups of identical assets from a single purchase costing less than $1,000 are written-off in the year of purchase, except for purchases as part of the renovations, which are capitalised in full.
Since 1 February 1997, carpets and decorations are capitalised and depreciated. The net book value of replaced items will be computed and removed from the relevant fixed assets accounts. Fully-depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets. (d) Stocks
Stocks are stated at cost and valued on the first-in-first-out basis and comprise mainly alcoholic beverages and foodstuff.
(e) Employee benefits Defined contribution plan As required by law. the Club makes contributions to the Central Provident Fund ("CPF"). CPF contributions are recognised as compensation expenses in the same period as the employment that gives rise to the contribution. (f) Long-term investments Long-term investments comprise quoted bonds which are not held for trading. They are stated at cost unless, in the opinion of the Club's General Committee, there has been a permanent diminution in value, in which event they would be written-down to a valuation fixed by the General Committee. Realised profits and losses upon disposal of these investments are taken to the Income and Expenditure Account. interest income from long-term investments is accounted for on an accrual basis. (g) Short-term investments Short-term investments are stated at cost, unless in the opinion of the General Committee, there has been a permanent diminution in value, in which event they would be written-down to a valuation fixed by the General
Committee. Realised profits and losses upon disposal of these investments are taken to the Income and Expenditure Account. Interest income from short-term investments is accounted for on an accrual basis.
(h) Impairment The carrying amount of the Club's assets, other than stocks and receivables, are reviewed at each balance
sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment, if such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is charged to the profit and loss statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it will be charged to equity.

The Club has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Cash at bank and fixed deposits are placed with reputable financial institutions.
