URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Francis Kennedy Deputy Chairman

On November 1, 2007, a new 17-member Board of Directors, was appointed to the Urban Development Corporation, replacing the John Cooke-led team which had served from December 1, 2006 to August 2007. President and CEO, Marjorie Campbell demitted the organization on December 20, 2007, when that position was made redundant, on commencement of an organizational restructuring. Consequently, on December 21, 2007 noted urban planner, Joy Douglas, was appointed to serve in the capacity of acting general manager for a one-year period. These appointments resulted from a continuing process of change initiated with National General Elections held September 3 and the appointment of a new portfolio minister in the person of (newly appointed) Prime Minister the Honourable Orette Bruce Golding. In accepting our appointment to serve the UDC and the nation, the Board of Directors also accepted Government’s and its Minister’s mandate to return to the core business of the Corporation. It is in this context therefore, that we have immediately accepted the task of re-energizing the Corporation’s efforts at planning and designing urban environments and serving as a catalyst to foster private sector involvement in national development initiatives. Consequently, the Board has committed to reviewing the parameters of the UDC’s designated areas and development plans in tandem with the policies of the new administration and is actively pursuing several initiatives to further this commitment. Of particular note is the renewed thrust to revitalize the downtown Kingston area by undertaking a number of infrastructural and socio-economic projects, while crafting the plans that will guide the future orderly development of urban centres islandwide. This renewed effort of the UDC to truly address the requirements of urban planning and re-development comes at a time when the Corporation is marking its own 40th Anniversary, having been established in March 1968. The year 2008 is therefore a very significant one for the UDC and marks the coming of age of an institution that continues to be critical to national development. A review of Financial Year April 2007 to March 2008 will show that the UDC: • Completed work on the Northwestern Schools Programme

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 • Practically completed work on the Kingston Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment project at Soapberry in St Catherine • Continued work under the Lift Up Jamaica Programme • Commenced work on Phase 2 of the Port Maria Civic Centre • Commenced work on Phase 3 of the Montego Bay Sports Complex • Signed the contract agreement to facilitate construction of the Montego Bay Convention Centre • Signed the contracts for construction of the bus park component of Kingston Transport Centre and • Refurbishing of St. William Grant Park In terms of financial performance, the UDC Group in Financial Year 2007-2008 recorded a 14.7% increase in revenue of $365M over the comparative year’s revenue of $2.481B, resulting in revenue of $2.846B. The main sources of income were: •Real Estate Sales •Hotel Operations •Attractions •Project/Other Management Fees •Rental Income of properties.

2007/08 $M 620.17 676.29 626.18 244.20 262.80

2006/07 $M 356.77 739.98 617.92 125.90 269.69

Administrative expenses totalled $777.40M, reflecting an increase of 22.10% above the 2006-2007 amount of $636.55M. The most significant contributor to the Corporation’s profit before taxation is the increase in fair value of our Investment Properties of $1.538B recorded in the financial year. Income from the Corporation’s share of profits from Associates of $464M as well as Investment Income of $308.44M was also noteworthy revenue items during the financial year. The Corporation recorded Profit Before Taxation of $2.366B in 2007-2008 compared to $8.85B in the previous year where a fair value gain on the value of investment properties of $7.276B accounts for the disparity in each year’s annual profit. A modest increase of $2.95B or 8.8 % in the Corporation’s asset base, taking it to $36.422B was achieved. The increase is primarily attributable to positive movements in the fair value of Investment Properties of $1B as well as the increase in the value of the Corporation’s Property, Plant and Equipment of $1.2B. During the coming year, as the UDC commemorates its 40th Anniversary, we will continue to vigorously pursue our mission to fulfill our role as the nation’s main development agency. We will seek to complete those projects already in progress, while charting the return to our core function. Honourable Prime Minister, on behalf of the Board, management and staff of the UDC, I welcome you to your office and present to you the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Urban Development Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Associated Companies for the period April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008.

ACTING GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT

Joy Douglas Acting General Manager

The April 2007- March 2008 Financial Year marked the beginning of a transitional period for the Urban Development Corporation. Significantly, the Corporation, on Palm Sunday, March 16, 2008 marked its coming of age at its 40th Anniversary Church Service held at the St. Andrew’s Scots Kirk United Church in downtown Kingston. This symbolically provided an opportunity for the renewal of the UDC’s commitment to the re-development of downtown Kingston, one of the Corporation’s first designated areas and home of our corporate headquarters. The anniversary church service also provided an opportunity to our portfolio minister, the Hon. Bruce Golding, to publicly articulate his administration’s mandate to the UDC to return to its core mission of planning and implementing development projects in its designated areas. In so doing, the Prime Minister noted that although the UDC had done significant work in the past, it should use its 40th anniversary to reflect and prepare for the task that lay ahead. This includes a careful analysis of urban sprawl in Kingston and other areas and to develop the relevant mitigating strategies. Consequently, the management team at the UDC commenced the process of returning the Corporation to its core function by addressing large-scale development projects in designated areas across Jamaica.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 To facilitate the corporate strategic direction, it will be important to: 1. Return the UDC to its core functions as defined by the UDC Act within three (3) years: a. Identify non-core assets and prepare some for divestment. b. Prepare and implement development plans consistent with the mission of the UDC. 2. Improve the financial sustainability of the UDC by ensuring that its cash flow is able to support its project and operating expenditure. 3. Redesign the organizational structure and staffing in pursuit of the mission and objectives of the UDC including a culture of providing excellent customer service delivery. Cognizant of the complexity of the organization, a Management Audit will be undertaken to guide the transition process and to ensure its success. Our financial performance is further highlighted in the following Consolidated Financial Overview which shows our Earnings, Income by Sector and Asset Base over the two-year period April 2006-March 2008. The rest of this report will also provide details of the activities and performance of our projects, corporate programmes and subsidiaries.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 PROJECTS 2007-2008 The Jamaica Conference Centre During the Financial Year the UDC continued to manage the Conference Centre on behalf of the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service. A general state of disrepair and adverse weather conditions contributed to the on-going challenges encountered. Specifically, the following militated against the achievement of targets set: 1. A number of cancellations, due for the most part to catering costs 2. The passage of Hurricane Dean, which resulted in a three-week closure 3. Heavy rainfall in the third quarter Nonetheless, several major and significant events were hosted during the year at the Centre and some promotional activities were undertaken providing positive exposure for the Centre. Total revenue generated this year was $20,020,319.12.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 Lift Up Jamaica 2 Based on assessments at March 2008, The Lift Up Jamaica 2 programme was extended to July 2008. With budgeted expenditure of $1B and projected employment of 10-13,000 persons, work was undertaken in a number of areas including: • Creation of formal vending areas/refurbishing of existing markets • Formalization of taxi/car parks • River training • Refurbishing of public buildings • Refurbishing of basic schools • Construction of community facilities including community centres, basketball/netball courts and playfields • A sanitation programme where communal toilets and showers will be constructed. Lift Up Jamaica, which was re-introduced in the last Financial Year, is a short term employment programme aimed at improving community infrastructure. While providing jobs for approximately 20,000 persons between the ages of 18 - 35 years, 40 percent of whom should be women. An important segment of the programme is that involving the on-the job training and certification for future employment opportunities. This important aspect of the programme is being implemented in collaboration with the HEART Trust/NTA.

Bridgeport Basic School, St. Catherine refurbished under the Lift Up Jamaica Programme

The programme, expected to cost $2B over a three year period, starting July 2005, is financed by the Government of Jamaica through the Caracas Energy Development Fund.

The Tax Incentive Programme for Urban Renewal In an attempt to reverse the decay and accompanying decline in economic and social conditions that characterised many parish capitals, the Government of Jamaica enacted the Urban Renewal (Tax Relief) Act, 1995 to provide incentives for capital expenditures and purchase of Urban Renewal Bonds. The incentives sought to attract increased levels of capital investments from the private sector in the Special Development Areas as declared by the Minister responsible for urban development. During the period under review, the UDC continued its management of the programme working as agents on behalf of The Ministry of Finance. On March 13, 2008, the Tax Incentive Programme was extended from its areas of operation in downtown Kingston, Port Royal and Montego Bay to include Spanish Town. This was achieved with the assistance of the St. Catherine Parish Council, The National Environmental Planning Agency and the Office of the Prime Minister. It is envisaged that the TIP will become one of the primary catalysts in arresting blight and enabling the urban renewal process in Spanish Town. On March 18, 2008, the UDC received the first application for approved developer for the redevelopment of property in the Spanish Town Special Development Area. This application was valued at US$24 million.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 An application for approved developer valued at J$4.6M was also processed for the downtown Kingston Special Development Area.

REGIONAL REPORTS ST. CATHERINE REGION Hellshire Glades Housing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Phase 2 During the period under review, the original West Indies Home Contractors Ltd. (WIHCON) contract was extended to allow for the construction of 45 additional units at Hellshire Glades in St Catherine. This followed the completion of 165 housing units and related infrastructure works during the previous period.

Area Management Programme Implementation of the Hellshire Environmental Management Plan (HEMP), managing the operations at both Fort Clarence Beach and Two Sisters Caves constituted the main areas of focus of the area management programme during the period under review.

Workmen undertake construction work under phase 2 of the Hellshire Glades Housing Development in St. Catherine on April 3, 2008

With a staff complement of approximately 30 persons, community outreach activities were also carried out as programmed during the year in Hellshire, Caymanas and Portmore communities while squatting was contained at existing levels with no report of increased activity during the reporting period.

Hellshire Environmental Management Plan - HEMP The HEMP team, consisting of the Protected Area Supervisor, Environmental Officer and four environmental Wardens, has been involved in implementing the environmental programme for Hellshire Hills.

Royan Gayle, Environmental Officer and Danae Vaccianna, Protected Area Supervisor discuss the Hellshire Environmental Management Plan with residents on December 10, 2007. The HEMP plan is aimed at preserving the environmental value of the Hellshire Hills and guiding subsequent developments of its land space.

The programme includes monitoring of the environment in the Hellshire Hills and Goat Islands with a view not only towards preventing damage/destruction but working in conjunction with NEPA and other relevant agencies in conservation activities. Principal of these activities has been the work of the UWIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iguana Project.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 The main challenge so far experienced has been the activity of coal burners and woodcutters who have been decimating large areas of the forest. The team has been working with the Island Special Constabulary Force (ISCF) to bring the situation under control. The team is also working with the Forestry Department to develop a tree planting programme in Hellshire Hills Fort Clarence Beach and Two Sisters Caves In spite of extensive damage to the infrastructure at Fort Clarence and Two Sisters Caves, the two locations continue to make major contribution to the recreational fare of the Kingston Metropolitan Region. Soapberry Sewage Treatment Plant The Kingston Metropolitan Sewage Treatment Plant, located at Soapberry in St Catherine, was completed and handed over to the UDC in February 2008. The project was conceptualised to provide improved treatment facilities for the Kingston Metropolitan Region and will result in the conveyance of all waste into a centralised system that will provide treatment in keeping with local and international standards. A joint venture initiative involving the UDC, National Housing Trust, Ashtrom Building Systems and National Water Commission, the Soapberry plant will be managed by the Central Wastewater Treatment Company.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 Montego Bay Convention Centre Preparatory arrangements including the acquisition of relevant permits and the submission of working drawings by the China National Complete Plant Import and Export Corporation (COMPLANT), the design and build contractor were completed at the end of Financial Year 2007-2008. This followed the signing of the project contract in the amount of RMB Yuan 350 million (approx. US$45 million) between the UDC and the Exim Bank of China for the construction of the convention centre at Rose Hall in St James. Physical works were expected to commence by June 2008. Success South Sub-division A contract in the sum of $108 million was awarded to Build Rite Construction for the implementation of infrastructure works to facilitate the provision of housing solutions at Success in Montego Bay, St James. The commencement of physical work was however put on hold, pending discussions with Rose Hall Development Company and the National Water Commission to resolve sewage disposal problems.

North East Coast Region Port Maria Civic Centre With the signing of a contract between the UDC and contractor Recar Engineer, work commenced in January 2008, on Phase 2 of the Port Maria Civic Centre in St Mary. The project was halted however at the request of the Jamaica National Heritage Trust to facilitate amendments to the drawings. These were subsequently adjusted and re-submitted to and approved by both the Heritage Trust and the St. Mary Parish Council. At the end of the review period, instructions were issued to the contractors to recommence work, while an assessment of the project was undertaken to ascertain possible increased cost resulting from the delay and changes. Winnifred Beach The UDC engaged in discussions with the Portland Parish Council with a view to arriving at a comanagement agreement for Winnifred Beach at Fairy Hill in Portland. Following several community meetings and the completion of an Environmental Impact Assessment it was the UDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention to provide temporary facilities for the Independence holidays in August, after which the beach would be closed to start upgrading works. However, approval was not forthcoming from the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) and litigation relating to prescriptive rights for access to the beach was initiated against the UDC. Downtown Kingston In keeping with its commitment to furthering the re-development of downtown Kingston, the UDC continued in Financial Year 2007-2008 with the implementation of plans and projects for the capital city. Chief among these were projects managed by the UDC on behalf of the Kingston City Centre Improvement Company (KCCIC) as follows:

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 St. William Grant Park Following the signing of the contract with Jatlin Construction & Associates in January 2008, upgrading work at St William Grant Park was approximately 40% complete at March 31, 2008. The project involves the extensive refurbishing of the park located in downtown Kingston between North and South Parade. It includes the refurbishing of all sanitary conveniences, rehabilitation of the existing landscaping and fountain, modification to footpaths and boundary fence, and the installation of a new sprinkler system and all other associated works. Workmen at St. William Grant Park review blueprint for refurbishing works at the park

Urban Transport Centre With a view to rationalizing the public transportation system in downtown Kingston, the UDC acting on behalf of the KCCIC signed a contract with Alcar Construction & Haulage Company in January 2008 for the construction of the bus park component of the Urban Transport Centre. At March 31, 2008 the project was approximately 40% complete. The KCCIC will have responsibility for the associated commercial centre, inclusive of a ticket office and other support facilities. The new transport centre is intended to facilitate the relocation of the parking of all buses and taxis from North and South Parade and all areas surrounding the St. William Grant Park, thus merging the existing 10 bus terminals into one multi-modal centre and easing congestion around the Parade area. The works involve the refurbishing of an existing warehouse of approximately 1500 sq. m. to accommodate commercial spaces, administrative offices, public areas and service areas; construction of passenger sheds and the marling, asphalting and concreting of approximately 30842 sq. m. of terminal space. Initial construction cost of the centre was estimated at approximately $300M and although designs were completed and the project sent to tender in April 2005, its implementation has been delayed by issues relating to design changes in order to reduce cost.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 SUBSIDIARIES Caymanas Development Company Limited Caymanas Golf and Country Club The Caymanas Golf and Country Club has had what can best be described as a challenging year, resulting largely from two major occurrences. In mid-July the club lost its water supply when the well casing collapsed necessitating the provision of a new well. This was followed shortly thereafter by Hurricane Dean in August. Both occurrences resulted in a reduction in revenue by approximately $2 Million and additionally, incurred an unanticipated expense of $3 Million for the trucking of water. The water supply remained inoperative throughout the full Club year but it is anticipated that this will be reactivated by mid-May 2008.

Caymanas Golf Club and Country Club

The golf course remains in good condition and there are many encouraging plans for the development of the Caymanas Estate which are expected to contribute to enhancing the facility.

Financial Year 2007-2008 can be described as an atypical one for the entity given the following: • A change in leadership on June 18, 2007 with the retirement of Manager Mrs. Yvette Mason • The redesigning of the property’s gardens • External training in related disciplines for approximately 70% of the staff members. • The re roofing of the office block building by Tropical Metal Products Limited • Increased usage of the court to host promotional activities by corporate companies The complex’s spaces are in high demand for rental based on its competitive rates for rental and maintenance fees and its ideal location. For the period under review all 83 lettable spaces were occupied. The entity continues to be profitable and recorded an unaudited profit of $4,659,062.90 for Financial Year 2007-2008.

IDENTIFICATION (Cont’d) Five of the subsidiaries were audited by Chartered Accountants other than the auditors of the parent Corporation. The financial statements of those companies reflect total assets and gross revenue of 12% and 18% respectively of the related Group totals. Accounting period The Group and all the companies in the Group have prepared financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2008. Reporting currency These financial statements are presented in Jamaican dollars since that is the currency in which the majority of the Group’s transactions are denominated.

ADOPTION OF THE NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS Standards and Interpretations effective in the current year In the current year, the Group adopted IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007, and the consequential amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.

Four interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Committee are effective for the current period. These are: IFRIC 8 IFRIC 9 IFRIC 10 IFRIC 11

Scope of IFRS 2 Reassessment of Embedded derivatives Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment Group and Treasury Share Transaction

Page 13 URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (Cont’d) New and Revised Standards and Interpretations considered relevant !

Amendments specifically to IAS 1, 8, 10, 16, 18, 19, 27, 28, 31, 36, 38, 39, 40 and 41, resulting from the May 2008 annual improvements to IFRS are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements on adoption at the respective effective dates.

IAS 1 (Revised 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements – IAS 1, among other things, affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and comprehensive income. It requires the presentation of all non-owners changes in equity (comprehensive income) in one or two statements; either in a single statement of comprehensive income, or in an income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. On adoption at its effective date, the standard will result in a change in the presentation of the Group’s income statement and the statement of changes in equity.

Under the amendment to IAS 1 and 32 Financial instruments: Presentation – Puttable Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation, certain financial instruments that currently meet the definition of a financial liability will be classified as equity because they represent the residual interest in the net assets of the entity. This standard is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

IAS 20 (Revised) Accounting for Government Assistance and Disclosure of Government Assistance – resulting from the May 2008 annual improvements to IFRS. The revised standard requires disclosure regarding the accounting policy adopted for grants, including method of balance sheet presentation, the nature and extent of grants recognized in the financial statements and unfulfilled conditions and contingencies attaching to recognized grants. This standard is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

IAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing costs – The revision removes the option of either capitalizing borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets or expensing these borrowing costs. The revised standard requires management to capitalize borrowing costs attributable to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets that take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use of sale. The adoption of this revised standard at its effective date is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements as it currently has no qualifying assets.

IAS 27 (Revised) - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, under the amendments, the increases or decreases in a parent’s ownership interest that do not result in a loss of control, is accounted for as equity transactions of the consolidated entity. No gain or loss is recognised on such transactions and goodwill is not remeasured. Any difference between the change in the non-controlling investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent. Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, any retained non-controlling investment at the date control is lost is remeasured to fair value. Losses of the acquired entities are allocated to the Minority interest even if they exceed the Minority’s share of equity in the subsidiary. The adoption of the revised standard is not expected to have any significant impact on the financial statements of the Group.

The amendments to IAS 39, Eligible Hedged Items, provide clarification in relation to identifying inflation as a hedged risk and hedging with options. These amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

The amendments to IAS 39 and IFRIC 9, Embedded Derivatives, clarify the accounting for embedded derivatives when a financial asset is reclassified out of the ‘fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL) category as permitted by the October 2008 amendments to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. These amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Revised IFRS 3 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. The revisions remove the scope exclusions for business combinations involving two or more mutual entities and business combinations in which separate entities are brought together to form a reporting entity by contract alone without the obtaining of an ownership interest. The standard is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Page 14 URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (Cont’d) New and Revised Standards and Interpretations considered relevant (Cont’d)

IFRIC 14, IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction provides guidance on assessing the limit set in IAS 19 on any amount of the surplus that can be recognised as an asset. It also explains how a pension asset or liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. The impact of any potential effects of IFRIC 14 and IAS 19 on the Group’s financial statements has not yet been determined.

IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate addresses the accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether an agreement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11, Construction Contracts or IAS 18, Revenue, and when revenue from the construction of real estate should be recognised. IFRIC 15 will not have any significant impact on the financial statements of the Group.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of Compliance The Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Urban Development Corporation Act. Basis of preparation The Group’s financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of freehold land, buildings and investment properties. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Group and entities controlled by the Group (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination, (See below) and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Page 15 URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Business combinations The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the criteria for recognition under IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations), which are recognized and measured at fair value less costs to sell. Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceed the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized. Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods and services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at their revalued amounts being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the balance sheet date. Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is credited to capital reserves, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in the profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is charged to profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in capital reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. Depreciation on revalued buildings is charged to the income statement. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in capital reserve is transferred directly to revenue reserve. Properties held for rental or administrative purposes or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Costs include acquisition costs professional fees, and for qualifying assets borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. Freehold land is not depreciated. Furniture, fixtures, equipment and motor vehicle are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets other than land and properties under construction, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Page 16 URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Investment property Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and land held for indeterminable future use which is therefore considered to be held for future capital appreciation, is measured initially at its cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the Group’s project development plans is recognized if and only if all of the following have been demonstrated: ! ! ! ! ! !

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Feasibility costs are transferred to inventory of land and development projects upon completion. The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internallygenerated asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately. Computer software are being amortised over three years, licensing fee is expensed in the period in which it is incurred. Goodwill Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or jointly controlled entity recognized at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset at cost and is subsequently remeasured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Goodwill (Cont’d) On disposal of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. Investment in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in that associate are not recognized. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Interest in joint venture A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control, that is when the strategic financial and operating policy decision relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Where a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements directly, the Group’s share of jointly controlled assets and any liabilities incurred jointly with other venturers are recognized in the financial statements of the relevant entity and classified according to their nature. Liabilities and expenses incurred directly in respect of interests in jointly controlled assets are accounted for on an accrual basis. Income from the sale or use of the Group’s share of the output of jointly controlled assets, and its share of joint venture expenses, are recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to/from the Group and their amounts can be measured reliably. Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled entities. The Group reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using the equity method. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of the Group’s interest in a jointly controlled entity is accounted for in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary. Where the Group transacts with its jointly controlled entities, unrealized profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint venture. Retirement benefit costs The Group operates a defined benefit pension plan which is open to all permanent employees, the assets of which are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. The plan is funded by contributions from employees at the rate of 5% of pensionable salaries (with the option of contributing an additional 5%), and the employer at rates recommended by independent actuaries (currently 1.5% of pensionable salaries). The cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with independent actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10 per cent of the greater of the present value of the Group’s defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets is amortized over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service costs, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan. Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that are in effect at the balance sheet date.

Page 19 URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Taxation (Cont’d) Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates currently enacted which rates are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and deferred tax for the period Current and deferred tax are recognized as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or in determining the excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination. Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset to one entity and a financial liability to, or equity to, another entity. A financial asset is any asset that is: (a) (b) (c)

cash an equity instrument of another entity a contractual right: (i) (ii)

(d)

to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the Group; or

a contract that will or may be settled in the Group’s own equity instruments and is: (i) (ii)

a non-derivative for which the Group is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the Group’s own equity instruments; or a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Group’s own equity instruments. For this purpose the Group’s own equity instruments do not include instruments that are themselves contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the Group’s own equity instruments.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Financial instruments (Cont’d) A financial liability is any liability that is: (a)

a contractual obligation: (i) (ii)

(b)

to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group; or

a contract that will or may be settled in the Group’s own equity instruments and is: (i)

a non-derivative for which the Group is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the Group’s own equity instruments; or

(ii)

a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Group’s own equity instruments. For this purpose the Group’s own equity instruments do not include instruments that are themselves contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the Group’s own equity instruments.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group recognizes financial assets or financial liabilities on its balance sheet only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets Financial assets are recognized and de-recognized using trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the timeframe established by market concerned and are initially measured at fair value plus transaction cost, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. The financial assets of the Group include cash resources and accounts receivable. Financial assets are classified into the category of: !

Loans and receivables

The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of acquisition. Loans and receivables Loans and accounts receivable that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate except for short term receivables, when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Effective interest rate method The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction cost and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate a shorter period. Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for the instruments.

Page 21 URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Financial instruments (Cont’d) Impairment of financial assets Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flow has been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the umber of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. De-recognition of financial assets The Group de-recognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire; or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risk and rewards to the ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and the associated liability for the amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes the collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are measured at fair value, net of transaction cost and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. The financial liabilities of the Group are those classified as current liabilities, with the exception of provision and deferred tax liabilities. De-recognition of financial liabilities The Group de-recognizes financial liabilities when, and only when the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Inventory of land and development projects Inventory of land and development projects and unsold apartments is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs comprise land acquisition, infrastructure works, construction costs, direct administrative expenses, interest charges less rent receivable during the interval between acquisition and construction. These costs are treated as inventory until disposal. The cost of land sales is determined based on the land area sold to the total land area available for sale. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. Net realisable value is obtained from an inhouse valuation based on sample valuations supplied by independent valuators or on market value obtained by recent real estate sales. Inventories Inventories consist of hotel supplies, consumable items and spare parts, and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method or first-in-first-out basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sale related taxes. Real estate trading income When a contract is recognised as a sale, the cost of fulfilling the remainder of the Group’s obligations under the contract is estimated and accrued. Sales and gross profit are recognised in the income statement when the following conditions are obtained: ! ! ! ! !

In the case of sale of apartments, a pre-checked sub-division plan has been deposited with the Registrar of Titles. A signed sale agreement exists. The refund period has expired and title has been transferred. The purchase price is fully paid or appropriate mortgage or other loan commitment has been obtained by the purchaser for the outstanding balance to be paid. Profit is recognised after taking into account the total outstanding commitment for infrastructure costs in relation to the land and units sold.

Interest income This is accrued on a time proportion basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying value. Hotel operations This comprises gross income from room, food and beverage, communications and other sales. recognized on an accrual basis on performance of the underlying service or transaction.

Leasing Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct cost incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in Jamaican dollars, which is the functional currency of the Group, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. In preparing the financial statements of the Group, transactions in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for: !

exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings;

exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation and which are recognized in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognized in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

Interest Aggregate interest for the year is allocated as follows: -

to projects on the basis of actual interest incurred on their net cash flow. in the income statement, the remainder after allocations to the projects.

Deferred income Management fees related to projects funded by the Group will be amortised when the projects are completed and sold.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical judgement in applying accounting policies The following are the critical judgements that management have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. Investments in joint ventures The Group recorded an impairment loss against the carrying amount of its investment in the joint venture in prior year by writing down its value by the same percentage that the impairment loss in the joint venture bears to the book value of the ordinary shares. Deferred tax asset of $137.359 million has been provided for in these financial statements in regard to the impairment loss. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. (a) Employees’ benefits As disclosed in Note 10, the Group operates a defined benefit pension plan. The amounts shown in the balance sheet of an asset of approximately $304.827 million (2007: $242.867 million) in respect of the defined benefits plan is subject to estimates in respect of periodic costs which costs would be dependent on returns on assets, future discount rates, rates of salary increases and inflation rate in respect of the pension plan. The estimated return on pension assets assumption is determined by considering long-term historical returns, asset allocation and future estimates of long-term investment returns. The Group estimates the appropriate discount rate annually which rate is used to determine the present value of estimated cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligation. To determine the appropriate discount rate in the absence of high quality corporate bonds, the interest rates on government bonds that have maturities approximating the related pension liabilities were considered. (b) Fair value of property, plant and equipment and investment properties Included in the balance sheet are amounts of $11,832,838 million (2007: $10,631,159 million) and $14,019,798 million (2007: $13,493,665 million) representing the fair values of property, plant and equipment and investment properties respectively. In making its judgement management’s best estimate of their fair value was based on current prices of properties of different nature, condition or location adjusted to reflect those recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions occurred at those prices.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Cont’d) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Cont’d) (c) Recoverability of internally-generated intangible asset The Group has recognized as an asset feasibility costs directly associated with land and project development plans. During the year, management reconsidered the recoverability of the asset, which is included in its balance sheet at $71.362 million (2007: $73.727 million). Detailed analysis has been carried out and management is confident that the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered in full. The situation will be closely monitored, and adjustments made in future periods, if market activity indicates that such adjustments are appropriate. (d) Provision for future infrastructure cost on land sold Included in the balance sheet is an amount for $228,350 million (2007: $212,868 million) representing management’s estimate of costs to be incurred for infrastructure in relation to land sold. In making its judgement, management considered the detailed criteria for recognition of a provision set out in IAS 37. The provision is based on the proportionate amount of the following in relation to land sold: i) Estimates to complete contracts already being undertaken by the Group; ii) The estimates costs to carry out known infrastructure works for which contracts have not yet been let; iii) Estimated costings have taken into account labour and material prices existing up to and during the month of March 2007 and 2008 iv) Where necessary, allowances have been made for the likely effect of increases due to interest costs, labour and material escalation projected for the years that ensue. Management is satisfied that all costs to complete that can be ascertained from the information described above, have been brought to account and that the provision for future infrastructure cost on land sold is reasonable.

INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES (Cont’d) (d)

(Cont’d) On the basis of the market value of the major asset of Ackendown, a recently constructed hotel property, as determined by independent valuators, it was concluded that impairment of the investment in the joint venture had occurred. The Group recorded an impairment loss against the carrying amount of its investment in the joint venture in prior year by writing down its value by the same percentage that the impairment loss in the joint venture bears to the book value of the ordinary shares. The asset was not revalued during the year ended March 31, 2008.

RETIREMENT BENEFIT ASSET The Group operates a defined benefit pension plan. The plan is funded by contributions from the employee at a rate of 5% of pensionable salaries. The employer contributes to the plan at rates determined periodically by independent actuaries currently 1.5% of future pensionable salaries. Under the plan retirement benefits are determined on a prescribed basis and are payable at a rate of 2% of final three year average salary times the employees number of years membership in the plan, the maximum being 33 years. If the employee’s service is terminated before retirement age, the employee may leave his contributions to accumulate at credited interest thereon to provide a deferred pension commencing at normal retirement date or elect a cash return of his contributions together with credited interest to the date of termination. No other postretirement benefits are provided. The most recent valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation at December 31, 2007 was carried out at May 7, 2008 by Mrs. Constantine Dalmadge Hall, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries, (Coke & Associates/Eckler Partnership). The Actuaries have confirmed that there was no material change in respect of the valuation of the plan between December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the related current service cost and past service cost were measured using the projected unit credit method. The actuarial valuation showed that the market value of plan assets for the Group was $1,243.7 million (2007: $1,112.1 million) and for the Corporation $1,071.6 million (2007: $969.5 million) and that the actuarial valuation of these assets represented 113% (2007:121%) for the Group and 109% (2007: 121%) for the Corporation in excess of the present value of the obligation. (a)

The principal assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations were as follows: The Group and The Corporation Valuation at 2008 2007 % % Gross discount rate Expected return on assets Expected rate of salary increases Future pension increases Inflation

The average credit period on the sale of goods is 30 days. Interest at a rate of 20% per annum is charged on outstanding amounts effective on the date payment was due. The Corporation and its subsidiaries has fully provided for all receivables 91 days and over, because historical experience is such that receivables that are past due 91 days and beyond are generally not recoverable. Based on the nature of the Corporation’s and its subsidiaries business no credit checks are performed for individuals purchasing houses/land. Additional projects are awarded primarily to government-owned companies. Included in the Corporation and its subsidiaries trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of $104.160 million (2007:$71.866 million) which are past due at the reporting date for which the Corporation and its subsidiaries has not provided as there has not been significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. The Corporation and its subsidiaries does not hold any collateral over these balances. The average age of these receivables is 61 days (2007: 61 days).

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Corporation and its subsidiaries considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the Corporation and its subsidiaries believes that there is no further credit provision required in excess of allowance for doubtful debts.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. A market price, where an active market (such as a recognized stock exchange) exists, is the best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument. The fair values presented in these financial statements have been estimated using present value, appropriate valuation methodologies and other estimation techniques based on market conditions existing at balance sheet date. The values derived using these techniques are significantly affected by underlying assumptions concerning both the amounts and timing of future cash flows and the discount rates used. The following methods and assumptions have been used:

(i)

The fair values of cash and available-for-sale investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable and other assets and liabilities less any credit adjustments maturing within twelve months are assumed to approximate their carrying amount because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

(ii)

The fair value of investments which comprises investments in associated companies is equal to the value as stated in these financial statements.

(iii)

Long-term liabilities include fixed rate, Government and non-government loans. These are concessionary loans, some with no repayment dates and would not be available to other organizations. Therefore fair values have not been computed.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liabilities and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) Financial risk management policies and objectives The Group has financial risk management policies which are directed by its shareholders. These policies set out the Group’s overall business strategies and its risk management philosophy. The financial risk management programme seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of financial performance of the Group. The Board of Directors, directed by the shareholders, provides principles for overall financial risk management and policies covering specific areas, such as market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. Periodic reviews are undertaken to ensure that the policy guidelines are complied with. The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. There has been no change during the year to the Group’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments. Exposures are measured using sensitivity analyses indicated below: (a)

Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Group’s principal financial assets are cash and bank balances and trade receivables. Management of Credit Risk The credit risk relating to cash and bank balances is mitigated by the maintenance of deposits only with reputable financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivable. since amounts advanced on specific projects are receivable from the funds received from the Government of Jamaica and mobilization advances are receivable from amounts payable to contractors. Trade receivables presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The Group’s risk regarding advances to specific projects and mobilization advances are limited because the Group’s primary customers are Government-owned companies. Maximum Exposure to Credit Risk The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at year end was as follows:

Market risk Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security or its issuer or factors affecting all securities traded in the market. The exposure to market risk includes foreign currency and interest rate risk that are managed as follows: (i)

Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the Jamaican dollar. The currency giving rise to the exposure is the United States dollar.

Management of Foreign Currency Risk The Group manages foreign currency risk by ensuring that the exposure in foreign assets and liabilities is kept to an acceptable level by monitoring currency position. Management further manages this risk by maximizing foreign currency earnings and holding foreign currency balances. The Group 2008

Foreign currency sensitivity The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase or decrease in the Jamaican dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The table indicates the Jamaican dollar to which the Group had exposure on its monetary assets and liabilities and its forecast cash flows. The sensitivity analysis represents outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes accounts receivable, cash resources, accounts payable, obligation under finance lease and short term loans. The correlation of variables will have a significant effect in determining the ultimate impact on market risk, but to demonstrate the impact due to changes in variable, variables had to be on the individual basis. It should be noted that movements in these variables are non linear. The Group 2008

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rate on its financial position and cash flows. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce or create losses in the event that unexpected movements arise.

Management of interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings and deposits held at fixed and variable rates. The Corporation manages these risks by ensuring that an appropriate mix is maintained. Additionally, the risk position is evaluated regularly. The Group’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the Liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest rate sensitivity The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates financial instruments at the balance sheet date. The analysis has been prepared on the assumption that the floating rate assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date have been outstanding for the whole year. A 5% increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 5% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s results for the year ended March 31, 2008 would have decreased/increased by $25.4 million (2007: $3.6 million) and the Corporation decrease/increase by $11.9 million (2007: $8.5 million). This is attributable to the exposure to interest rate on its short-term loan, cash resources and borrowings.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances to meet the Group’s monthly operating needs. Management of liquidity risk The Group’s liquidity management process includes: (i) Monitoring future cash flows and liquidity regularly. This incorporates an assessment of expected cash flows through forecasting on a monthly basis; and (ii) Preparation of an annual budget which is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interest-bearing liabilities as they mature, are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group and its exposure to changes in interest rates and exchange rates. Undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities at year end based on contractual undiscounted payments was as follows: The Group 2008 Weighted average effective interest rate
