Vietnam Infrastructure Limited
Audited financial results for the twelve months ended 30 June
2017
Vietnam Infrastructure Limited ("VNI" or "the Company"), the
first publicly traded fund to focus on investment into
infrastructure assets in Vietnam, today announces its full year
results for the twelve months ended 30 June 2017 ('the year').
Financial highlights:
-- Private Equity Share Net Asset Value ("PES NAV") of USD12.6 million (30 June 2016: USD77.2 million)
-- PES NAV per share of USD0.036 (30 June 2016: USD0.220)
Operational highlights:
During the year, the Company divested most of its remaining
assets, and sold its final asset shortly after the close of the
financial year:
-- IBS: On 31 July 2017, the Company announced the sale of the
in-building cellular enhancement systems ("IBS"), to VIBS Pte. Ltd.
(a consortium formed by JTOWER Inc. and the South East Asia Growth
Fund) and a local investor, for total cash proceeds of
approximately USD10.2 million. The sale proceeds were at a slight
premium to the unaudited net asset value (NAV) of USD9.9 million as
at 30 June 2017.
-- Southeast Asia Telecommunications Holdings Pte. Ltd. (SEATH):
In August 2016, the Company reached agreement to sell the BTS
portion of the portfolio to OCK Vietnam Towers Ltd for USD50
million. This transaction closed in December 2016, and the Company
fully received the proceeds in January 2017. An additional working
capital adjustment of approximately USD1.6 million was received in
May 2017.

out-of-court cash settlement of USD2.4 million and the asset was
transferred to the buyer.

Dear Shareholders,
There was a great deal of activity during the 2017 financial
year as the Management and the Board worked to realise the
Company's remaining assets and adhere to the timeline outlined in
the divestment strategy.
Asset Sales
During the year, the Company divested most of its remaining
assets, with the sale of its final asset occurring just after the
close of the financial year ended 30 June 2017.
-- IBS: On 31 July 2017, the Company announced the sale of the
in-building cellular enhancement systems ("IBS"), to VIBS Pte. Ltd.
(a consortium formed by JTOWER Inc. and the South East Asia Growth
Fund) and a local investor, for total cash proceeds of
approximately USD10.2 million. The sale proceeds were at a slight
premium to the unaudited net asset value (NAV) of USD9.9 million as
at 30 June 2017.
-- Southeast Asia Telecommunications Holdings Pte. Ltd. (SEATH):
In August 2016, the Company reached agreement to sell the BTS
portion of the portfolio to OCK Vietnam Towers Ltd for USD50
million. This transaction closed in December 2016, and the Company
fully received the proceeds in January 2017. An additional working
capital adjustment of approximately USD1.6 million was received in
May 2017.
-- Long An SEA: In early November 2016, the Company received an
out-of-court cash settlement of USD2.4 million and the asset was
transferred to the buyer.
-- The aggregate net proceeds from the sales of the private
equity assets exceeded the hurdle amount approved by shareholders,
enabling the Company to pay the Manager the agreed incentive
fee.
Shareholder Distributions
On 31 January 2017, the Company announced an aggregate
distribution to Private Equity Shareholders of USD65.0 million,
representing USD0.1856 for each Private Equity Share in issue, in
either cash or, if eligible, in VVF shares. As announced on 1 March
2017, 81% of the distribution was paid in cash, and the remaining
19% (equal to USD12.3 million) was applied by the Company for VVF
shares.
VNI announced a third and final distribution of USD12.6 million
on 25 August 2017. On 21 September 2017, we revised the
distribution to USD12.57 million, representing USD0.0359 for each
Private Equity Share currently in issue. The Record Date for the
distribution is 29 September 2017.
Corporate Matters and Fund Wind-Up
The end of the financial year saw the retirement of Mr Luong Van
Ly from his position as Independent Director. Having served on the
Board since the Company's inception, Mr Ly worked to help ensure
that VNI fulfilled its shareholder mandate.
On 25 August 2017, the Company published a notice of
Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") setting out details of
the recommended proposals for the voluntary winding up of the
Company under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the appointment of
joint liquidators and the cancellation of admission of the Private
Equity Shares to trading on AIM. The EGM will take place on 9
October 2017 at 2.30 p.m. UK time at Grant Thornton UK LLP, 30
Finsbury Square, London EC2P 2YU, at which time shareholders will
be asked to approve the Resolutions relating to the Fund's winding
up. Subject to the passing of the Resolutions by the requisite
majority, admission of the Private Equity Shares to trading on AIM
will be cancelled with effect from the morning of 10 October 2017,
and the Company's orderly liquidation will proceed as planned.
Funds turned over to the liquidator are expected to cover the
expenses of the liquidation process, and no further distributions
to shareholders are expected.
The Board has endeavoured to ensure that the Company maximised
the value of its assets and the return to shareholders, and I am
pleased to report that we have been successful in doing so in a
timely manner. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank you for your
support throughout this process.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Vietnam Infrastructure Limited ("the Company") is a limited
liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The
registered office of the Company is PO Box 309GT, Ugland House,
South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
The original principal activity of the Group was to invest in a
diversified portfolio of entities owning infrastructure projects
and assets primarily in Vietnam. The Group could invest and hold
equity and debt instruments in unquoted companies that themselves
held, developed or operated infrastructure assets. The Group could
also invest in entities whose shares or other instruments were
listed on a stock exchange, or traded on over-the-counter ("OTC")
markets and in other funds that invested in infrastructure projects
or assets.
On 22 July 2015, following shareholder approval of a proposal to
restructure the Company, the listed and private equity components
of VNI's portfolio were separated into two distinct pools, the
Listed Portfolio and the Private Equity Portfolio. Each pool of
assets was represented by a separate share class, Listed Portfolio
Shares ("LP Shares") and Private Equity Shares ("PE Shares"), which
were listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment
Market ("AIM") under the tickers VNIL and VNI, respectively. For
the financial year ended 30 June 2016, both classes of shares met
the definition for financial liabilities under International
Accounting Standard 32 ("IAS 32") and were classified as
liabilities. For the financial year ended 30 June 2017, as a result
of fully redemption of LP Shares, PE Shares met the specific
conditions under IAS 32 to be reclassified as equity (refer Note
15).
The Listed Portfolio assets and any surplus cash in the Company
were contributed to Forum One-VCG Partners Vietnam Fund ("VVF"), a
newly established sub-fund of Forum One, a Luxembourg open-ended
investment company or SICAV ("Forum One") for consideration of
10,242,351 Class A VVF shares at the subscription price of USD10
per Class A VVF share. VVF's investment strategy is to invest in
equities listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and the Hanoi
Stock Exchange; and other issuers that carry out a substantial part
of their economic activity in Vietnam and are listed, traded or
dealt on other stock exchanges. The VVF shares were distributed to
LP Share shareholders between August 2015 and August 2016 in return
for redeeming their LP Shares. Following the final distribution of
VVF shares and receipt of all outstanding LP Shares from
shareholders the AIM listing for VNIL was withdrawn and all
outstanding LP Shares were cancelled.
The Company has ceased making new private equity investments and
sought to fully realise the Private Equity Portfolio by 30 June
2017. With this objective met shortly after the balance sheet date,
the Company expects to be wound up within twelve months. The
proceeds from the sale of the private equity assets and any surplus
net cash-flows have, subject to each shareholders' election,
previously been distributed to the PE Share shareholders in cash,
else to them in the form of VVF units distributed in specie.
On 25 August 2017, the Company published the circular including
a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting setting out details of
the recommended proposals for the voluntary winding up of the
Company under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the appointment of
joint liquidators and the cancellation of admission of the PE
Shares to trade on the AIM. The Extraordinary General Meeting of
the Company will take place on 9 October 2017 at 2.30 p.m. UK time
at Grant Thornton UK LLP, 30 Finsbury Square, London EC2P 2YU, at
which Shareholders will be asked to approve the necessary
resolutions. Subject to the passing of the resolutions, admission
of the PE Shares to trading on the AIM will be cancelled with
effect on 10 October 2017.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2017 was approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 25
September 2017.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of
these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the financial years
presented.
2.1 Basis of preparation
(a) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
The consolidated financial statements of Vietnam Infrastructure
Limited have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
Going concern
The Company has progressively realised its Private Equity
Portfolio which it expected to complete by 9 October 2017. As a
consequence, these consolidated financial statements have been
prepared using the liquidation basis, as the going concern basis is
no longer considered appropriate. The Company continues to apply
the same IFRS accounting policies as has been used in prior years
as management do not believe there is a material difference in the
accounting measurement basis that would be applied using a going
concern basis of accounting versus what would apply under a
liquidation basis of accounting.
(b) Historical cost convention
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using
the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of
investment properties, and in-building cellular enhancement systems
("IBS") under property, plant and equipment, and financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities, the
measurement bases of which are described in the accounting policies
below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated
financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.1.
(c) New standards and interpretation effective 1 July 2017 adopted by the Group
There are no standards, interpretations and amendments to
existing standards that are effective for the financial year
beginning 1 July 2017 that have had a material impact on the
Group.
2.2 Significant accounting policies
LP Shares and PE Shares are classified as financial
liabilities
Under IAS 32, both the LP Shares and PE Shares were classified
as financial liabilities in the financial year ended 30 June 2016
as they both meet the definition of puttable instruments. That is,
they were financial instruments that gave the holders the right to
put the instruments back to the issuer for cash or another
financial asset or were automatically put back to the issuer on the
occurrence of an uncertain future event.
As a result of fully redemption of LP Shares, PE Shares met the
specific conditions under IAS 32 to be reclassified as equity. That
is, the shareholders entitle to share a pro rata of the Company's
net assets in the event of liquidation and are subordinate to all
other classes of instruments.
2.3 Principles of consolidation and equity accounting
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control.
The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to
direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the
Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control
ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on
transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides
evidences of an impairment of the transferred asset. All of the
Group's subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 December. For
subsidiaries with a different reporting date, the management
information up to 30 June are used for consolidation purposes and
are adjusted for consistency with the Group's accounting
policies.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of
subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated financial
statements of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity, statement of changes in net assets
attributable to holder of redeemable shares and balance sheet
respectively.
Business combination
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for all
business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or
other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the
acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets
transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the
acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The
consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary
comprises the:
-- fair value of the assets transferred
-- liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
-- equity interests issued by the group
-- fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent arrangement, and
-- fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited
exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest
in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis,
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's
proportionate share of the acquired entity's identifiable net
assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of any
non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the
acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than
the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business
acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss
as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred,
the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present
value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the
entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier
under comparable terms and conditions.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a
financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability
are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair
value recognised in profit or loss.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the
acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the
acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such
remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Change in ownership interests
When the group ceases to consolidate for an investment because
of a loss of control, any retained interest in the entity is
remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount
recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial
carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the
retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition,
any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in
respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may
mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive
income are reclassified to profit or loss.
2.4 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal management reporting information for the Investment
Manager's management, monitoring of investments, and decision
making. The Investment Manager assesses the financial performance
and position of the Group, and makes strategic decisions.
The operating segments by investment portfolio include energy,
property and infrastructure development, telecommunications,
transportation and logistics, general infrastructure, other capital
markets and cash.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in
United States Dollars ("USD") ("the presentation currency"). The
financial statements of each consolidated entity are initially
prepared in the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates ("the functional currency"), which for
most investments is Vietnamese Dong ("VND"). The financial
statements prepared using VND are then translated into the
presentation currency. USD is used as the presentation currency
because it is the primary basis for the measurement of the
performance of the Group and a large proportion of significant
transactions of the Group are denominated in USD.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the
consolidated income statement. They are deferred in equity if they
are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign
operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are
presented in the consolidated income statement, within finance
costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in
the consolidated income statement on a net basis within other
income or other expenses.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when
the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets
and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the
fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on
non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair
value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as
part of the fair value gain or loss.
(c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities
(none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy)
that have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are
translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance
sheet;
ii) income and expenses for each consolidated income statement
and consolidated statement of comprehensive income are translated
at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on
the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are
translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the
translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of
borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of
such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of
the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences
are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on
sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition
of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the
foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
2.6 Investment properties
Investment properties are properties owned or held to earn
rentals or capital appreciation, or both, or land held for a
currently undetermined use.
Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including
related transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment
property is carried at fair value.
Investment property under construction is measured at fair value
if the fair value is considered to be reliably determinable.
Investment property under construction for which the fair value
cannot be determined reliably, but for which the company expects
that the fair value of the property will be reliably determinable
when construction is completed, are measured at cost less
impairment until the fair value becomes reliably determinable or
construction is completed - whichever is earlier. Fair value is
based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any
difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific
asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses
alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices on less active
markets or discounted cash flow projections. Valuations are
performed as of the financial position date by the Company's
independent professional valuer and/or internal investment officers
who have relevant professional experience, and professional valuers
who hold recognised relevant professional qualifications and have
recent experience in the location and category of the investment
property being valued. These valuations form the basis for the
carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
Investment property that is being redeveloped for continuing use as
investment property or for which the market has become less active
continues to be measured at fair value.
2.7 Leases
(a) A group company is the lessee in an operating lease
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as operating
leases, unless they are treated as investment properties (Note
2.6). Where the Group has the use of an asset held under an
operating lease, payments made under the lease are charged to the
consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease. Prepayments for operating leases represent
property held under operating leases where a portion, or all, of
the lease payments have been paid in advance, and the properties
cannot be classified as an investment property.
(b) A group company is the lessor in an operating lease
Properties leased out under operating leases are included in
investment property in the consolidated balance sheet.
2.8 Financial assets
2.8.1 Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following
categories: at fair value through profit or loss and loans and
receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which
the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the
classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The
Group does not have any financial assets classified as available
for sale or held to maturity.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include
financial assets that are designated by the management to be
carried at fair value through profit or loss at inception. They are
not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with
the Company's documented investment strategy. Financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss held by the Group include listed
and unlisted securities. Assets in this category are classified as
current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months;
otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities
greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These
are classified as non-current assets. The Group's loans and
receivables comprise "Trade and other receivables" and "Cash and
cash equivalents" in the consolidated balance sheet.
Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for
services performed in the ordinary course of business.
2.8.2 Recognition and derecognition
Purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on
trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell
the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to
receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have
been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership.
2.8.3 Measurement
Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus
transaction costs for all financial assets which are not carried at
fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair
value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair
value, and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated
income statement. Financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables
are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
If the investments do not have a quoted market price in an
active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured,
such investments shall be measured at cost, less provision for
impairment.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the
'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category
are presented in the consolidated income statement within "fair
value gain/(loss) of financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss" in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised
in the consolidated income statement when the Group's right to
receive payments is established.
2.9 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount
reported in the consolidated balance sheet when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
2.10 Prepayments
Prepayments are made by the Group to vendors for land
compensation and other related costs, and professional fees
directly attributed to the projects, where the final transfer of
the investment/property is pending the approval of the relevant
authorities and/or is subject to either the Group or the vendor
completing certain performance conditions set out in agreements.
Such prepayments are measured initially at cost until such time as
the approval is obtained or conditions are met, at which point they
are transferred to appropriate investment accounts.
Pre-payments are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment
losses.
2.11 Property, plant and equipment
In-Building Systems ("IBS") under machinery are shown at fair
value, based on valuation by independent professional valuer and/or
the Company's internal investment officers, less subsequent
depreciation. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of
revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the
asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the
asset. A revaluation surplus is credited to other comprehensive
income and accumulated in shareholders' equity under the heading of
revaluation surplus and is transferred to retained earning when the
asset is sold. A revaluation decrease is charged against any
related revaluation surplus to the extent that the decrease does
not exceed the amount held in the revaluation surplus in respect of
that same asset. Any remaining balance of the decrease then be
recognised as an expense in profit and loss. All other property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. The cost
of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct
labour, overheads and the initial estimate of the costs of
dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which
they are located. The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an
item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of
such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the
future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The
carrying values of any parts replaced as a result of such
replacements are expensed at the time of replacement. All other
costs associated with the maintenance of property, plant and
equipment are recognised in the consolidated income statement as
incurred.
Depreciation is charged to the consolidated income statement on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of property,
plant and equipment, and major components that are accounted for
separately. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 6 to 10 years
Plant and machinery 3 to 7 years
Office equipment 2 to 5 years
Motor vehicles 6 to 10 years
Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful lives
are reviewed at least annually, irrespective of whether assets are
revalued.
2.12 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held
for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a
sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower
of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except
for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from
employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that
are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance
contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent
write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less
costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in
fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but
not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously
recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of
the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised
at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal
group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified
as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the
liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale
continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of
a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented
separately from the other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are
presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has
been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area
of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of
such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary
acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of
discontinued operations are presented separately in the
consolidated income statement.
2.13 Impairment of assets
(a) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example,
prepayments for acquisitions of investment properties, are not
subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped
at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable
cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at
each reporting period.
(b) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether
there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of
financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of
financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred
only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of
the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or
group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Assets carried at amortised cost
(i) For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and
the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future
credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the
financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying
amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is
recognised in the consolidated income statement. If a loan has a
variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined
under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure
impairment on the basis of an instrument's fair value using an
observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss
decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an
improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the
previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the
consolidated income statement.
(ii) For trade receivables, individual receivables which are
known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying
amount directly. The other receivables are assessed collectively to
determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment
has been incurred but not yet been identified. For these
receivables the estimated impairment losses are recognised in a
separate provision for impairment. The group considers that there
is evidence of impairment if any of the following indicators are
present:
-- significant financial difficulties of the debtor,
-- probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and
-- default or delinquency in payments.
Receivables for which an impairment provision was recognised are
written off against the provision when there is no expectation of
recovering additional cash.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss within other
expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off
are credited against other expenses.
The Group's trade and other receivables, prepayments for
acquisitions of investment property and interests in associates are
subject to impairment testing.
2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in bank and on hand, as
well as short term highly liquid investments such as money market
instruments and bank deposits with original terms of not more than
three months.
2.15 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less provision for impairment.
2.16 Share capital
Ordinary shares were classified as equity. Share capital is
determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Additional paid-in capital includes any premiums received on the
initial issuance of the share capital. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds. Any
transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are
deducted from additional paid-in capital, net of any related income
tax benefits.
On 22 July 2015, the ordinary shares were redesignated as PE
Shares and subsequently classified as financial liabilities. For
the financial year ended 30 June 2017, as a result of fully
redemption of LP Shares, PE Shares met the specific conditions
under IAS 32 to be reclassified as equity. Refer to Note 15 for
details.
2.17 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or
services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business
from suppliers. Trade and other payables are recognised initially
at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
2.18 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of
transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the
consolidated income statement over the period of the borrowings
using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised
as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable
that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case,
the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there
is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility
will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for
liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to
which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the
obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial
liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another
party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets
transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss
as other income or finance costs.
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and
the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish
all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss
is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the
group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
2.19 Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the
period in which they are incurred.
2.20 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement, except to
the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax
is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those
obligations to, or claims from, tax authorities relating to the
current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting
date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws
applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate based on the
taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or
liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the
consolidated income statement.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method
on temporary differences. This involves the comparison of the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated
financial statements with their respective tax bases. In addition,
tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income
tax credits to the Group are assessed for recognition as deferred
tax assets.
Deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of
goodwill, or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability
unless the related transaction is business combination or affects
tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences
associated with shares in subsidiaries and associates is not
provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be
controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not
occur in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that they will be able to be offset against future taxable
income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without
discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their
respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Most changes in
deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of
tax expense in the consolidated income statement. Only changes in
deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to a change in value
of assets or liabilities that is charged directly to other
comprehensive income are charged or credited directly to other
comprehensive income.
2.21 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions
are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to
settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence
available at the reporting date, including the risks and
uncertainties associated with the present obligation and there is
uncertainty about the timing or amount of the future expenditure
require in settlement. Where there are a num-ber of similar
obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in
settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as
a whole. Long-term pro-vi-sions are discounted to their present
values, where the time value of money is material.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted
to reflect the current best estimate of the Group's management.
2.22 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for
services rendered, stated net of discounts, returns and value added
taxes. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can
be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have
been met for each of the Group's activities, as described
below:
(a) Sale of services
The Group's revenue represents the rental income from Southeast
Asia Telecommunication Holdings ("SEATH") Base Transceiver Station
("BTS") tower network and Vietnam Infrastructure Holding Ltd.
("VIHL") In-Building Systems ("IBS") leasing services, information
rescue services and from lease of infrastructure in Ba Thien
industrial park.
Revenue from SEATH BTS tower network and VIHL IBS services is
recognised in the accounting period in which the services are
rendered and the rental income is due to be received.
Revenue from lease of infrastructure is recognised on the
straight-line basis over the entire lease term. Rental income
received in advance over one year is recognised under long-term
unearned revenue.
(b) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on the effective interest rate
basis.
(c) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the
dividend is established.
2.23 Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the
ability to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial or operational
decisions. Enterprises and individuals that directly, or indirectly
through one or more immediately, control or are controlled by, or
under common control with, the Company including holding company,
subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries are related parties of the
Company. Associates and individuals owning directly, or indirectly,
an interest in the voting power of the Company that give them
significant influence over the entity, key management personnel,
including directors and officers of the Company and close members
of their families. When considering possible related party
relationships, attention is directed to the substances of the
relationship, and not merely the legal form.
2.24 Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements
and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency
units unless otherwise stated.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group
undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about
recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements,
estimates and assumptions made by management, and may not equal the
estimated results. Information about significant judgements,
estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on
recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses are discussed below.
3.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
(a) Fair value of investment properties
The investment properties of the Group are stated at fair value
in accordance with Note 2.6. The fair values of investment
properties of SEATH Base Transceiver Station ("BTS") tower network
have been determined by the Company's internal investment officers.
These valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are
subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual
results. The estimated fair values provided by the Company's
internal investment officers are used by the Audit and Valuation
Committee as the primary basis for estimating each property's fair
value. In making its judgement, the committee considers information
from a variety of sources, including:
i. current prices in an active market for properties of
different nature, condition or location (or subject to different
lease or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those
differences;
ii. recent prices of similar properties in less active markets,
with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions
since the date of the transactions that occurred at those
prices;
iii. any other adjustments relevant to the property held by the
Group but which were not factored into the valuation by the
independent professional valuers, such as land compensation, costs
and any other discount factors; and
iv. discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates
of future cash flows, derived from the terms of external evidence
such as current market rents and sales prices for similar
properties in the same location and condition and using discount
rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in
the amount and timing of cash flows.
Refer to sensitive analysis for key valuation inputs in Note
29(b)(iv).
(b) Fair value of VIHL IBS under property, plant and equipment
The IBS of the Group are stated at fair value in accordance with
Note 2.11. The fair values of IBS have been determined by the
Company's internal investment officers. These valuations are based
on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might
materially differ from the actual results. The estimated fair
values provided by the Company's internal investment officers are
used by the Audit and Valuation Committee as the primary basis for
estimating IBS's fair value. In making its judgement, the committee
considers information from a variety of sources, including
discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of
future cash flows, derived from the terms of external evidence such
as current market rents, and using discount rates that reflect
current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and
timing of cash flows. Refer to sensitive analysis for key valuation
inputs in Note 29(b)(iv).
(c) Fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Listed securities are quoted at the bid price at each reporting
date. For unlisted securities which are traded over-the-counter,
the fair value is the average brokers' price obtained from a
minimum sample of three reputable securities companies at the
reporting date.
The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in an
active market (for example, unlisted securities where market prices
are not readily available) is determined by using valuation
techniques. The Group uses judgement to select a variety of methods
and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions
existing at each reporting date. The valuations are also obtained
from the Company's internal investment officers to evaluate and
adjust valuations. The outcomes may vary from the actual prices
that would be achieved in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the reporting date. Refer to sensitive analysis for
key valuation inputs in Note 29(b)(iv).
(d) Fair value of prepayment for acquisition of Long An Industrial Service project
The prepayment for acquisition reflects the Group's investment
in the Long An Industrial Service project. The value of this asset
was originally based on the sale and purchase agreement signed
between the Group and the purchaser in June 2012; however, the
buyer has defaulted on its obligations to settle the outstanding
balance receivable, citing market conditions. The investment
manager commenced legal procedures on 15 April 2015 to recover the
outstanding balance. On 16 June 2016, the court ruling result is
favourable to the Group which was appealed by the buyer to a higher
court. A final settlement was agreed with the purchaser on 4
October 2016 and the defendant paid the finally agreed amount in
October 2016. The Group estimated the recoverable amount at 30 June
2016 based on the amount actually received.
3.2 Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies
(a) Classification of SEATH BTS tower network as investment properties
Management has classified the BTS tower network as investment
properties measured at fair value. Management determined that BTS
tower network can be considered as similar to buildings and thus
can be classified as investment properties. The tower network also
displays similar characteristics to investment properties, in that
space on the tower network is let to telecommunication tenants to
earn rentals.
(b) Investments in Southern Star Telecommunication Equipment
Joint Stock Company ("SST") and Vien Tin Joint Stock Company ("Vien
Tin")
Management assessed that its acquisitions of Southern Star
Telecommunication Equipment Joint Stock Company ("SST") and Vien
Tin Joint Stock Company ("Vien Tin") in pervious year were
acquisitions of businesses and not acquisitions of assets. The
assessment was based on the criteria of whether at the date of
acquisition, a business existed. The assessment criteria is whether
there were inputs, significant processes and outputs on the date
the subsidiary was required. In the context of SST and Vien Tin,
management determined that at the date of acquisitions, the
businesses of SST and Vien Tin consist of their in-building
cellular enhancement systems, and that they have the ability to
create economic benefits to provide a return to their owners.
Consequently, the acquisitions of SST and Vien Tin have been
accounted for as business combinations.
4 SEGMENT INFORMATION
In identifying its operating segments, management generally
follows the Group's sectors of investments which are based on
internal management reporting information for the Investment
Manager's management, monitoring of investments, and decision
making. The operating segments by investment portfolio include
energy, property and infrastructure development,
telecommunications, transportation and logistics, general
infrastructure, other capital markets and cash.
Each of the operating segments are managed and monitored
individually by the Investment Manager as each requires different
resources and approaches. The Investment Manager assesses, as
reported to the Board, segment profit or loss using a measure which
is consistent with that in profit or loss. There have been no
changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to
determine reported segment profit or loss.

15 SHARE CAPITAL
On 21 July 2015, the Company's ordinary shares were
re-designated as PE Shares and a bonus issue of a new class of LP
Shares was undertaken. As a result each VNI shareholder held an
equal number of PE Shares and LP Shares. The PE Shares give the
holders the right to receive cash distributions and the LP Shares
were subject to mandatory repurchase in August 2016, so both met
the definition of financial liabilities under International
Accounting Standard 32 ("IAS 32"). Accordingly, both share classes
were classified as financial liabilities in the financial year
ended 30 June 2016.
All of the remaining 107,281,741 LP Shares were repurchased by
the Company on 17 August 2016 in exchange for 3,288,435,511 Class A
VVF shares. Following the compulsory repurchase all of the LP
Shares have been cancelled on 18 August 2016. As a result of fully
redemption of LP Shares, PE Shares met the specific conditions
under IAS 32 to be reclassified as equity as at 30 June 2017 (refer
Note 2).
The movements LP Shares and PE Shares during the year were as
follows:

Total - 9,042
As at 30 June 2016, according to the original contract terms,
the Group's borrowings, which are denominated in USD, mature on a
range of dates up until October 2019 and bear a range of annual
interest rates from 3.9% to 4.1%. The borrowings were secured by
the BTS tower network as disclosed in Note 13. As at 30 June 2017,
the outstanding loan was fully repaid to lender.
As at 30 June 2016, under the liquidation basis of accounting
all long-term borrowings which were expected to be realised or
settled within the next twelve months from the reporting date are
classified as short-term borrowings as at reporting date.
The maturities of the Group's borrowings at the reporting date
were:

As at 30 June 2016 the fair value of short-term borrowings
amounting to USD9.0 million approximates their carrying amounts as
the impact of discounting is not significant. They were classified
as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use
of unobservable inputs.

20 REVENUE AND COST OF SALES
The Group's revenue represents rental income from the BTS tower
network and the IBS system and associated leasing and information
rescue services. All revenue is derived from external customers,
although 60.6% of total sales during the year amounting to USD5.8
million (2016: 70% of total sales during the year amounting to
USD13.6 million) was sourced from one customer.
The Group's cost of sales mainly relates to the operating costs
of the BTS and IBS leasing business and provision of related
services.

24 INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Vietnam Infrastructure Limited is domiciled in the Cayman
Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, there is no
income, state, corporation, capital gains or other taxes payable by
the Company.
The majority of the Group's subsidiaries are domiciled in the
British Virgin Islands and so have tax exempt status.
The principal operating subsidiaries of the Group are
established in Vietnam and are subject to corporate income tax in
Vietnam. The income from these subsidiaries is taxable at the
applicable tax rate in Vietnam. On 19 June 2013, the Vietnamese
National Assembly approved a new corporate income tax law. Under
the new law, the standard corporate income tax has been reduced
from 22% to 20% effective 1 January 2016. A provision of USD0.5
million was provided for corporate income tax payable by the
Vietnamese subsidiaries for the current year (2016: USD0.7
million).
The relationship between the expected income tax expense based
on the applicable income tax rate and the tax expense actually
recognised in the consolidated income statement can be reconciled

27 RELATED PARTIES
(a) Management fees
The Group is managed by VinaCapital Investment Management Ltd.
(the "Investment Manager"), incorporated and registered as a
licensed fund manager in the Cayman Islands. On 20 November 2014,
the Company signed a new investment management agreement with the
Investment Manager, which became effective on 27 July 2015 (the
"new Investment Management Agreement"). Under this agreement no
management fee is charged by the Investment Manager to the Company
on either the LP Shares or the PE Shares.
There is no management fee for the year ended 30 June 2017 (30
June 2016: USD0.3 million), there was no outstanding accrued fees
due to the Investment Manager at the reporting date (30 June 2016:
nil).
(b) Realisation fees and incentive fees
Under the new Investment Management Agreement, the Investment
Manager will receive a realisation fee and an incentive fee based
on sales proceeds relating to the PE Portfolio:
i) Upon realisation of the Company's private equity assets, the
Company will pay a fee of 3% of the net sale proceeds of each asset
realised once the net sale proceeds are received by the Company.
Total realisation fee payable for the year ended 30 June 2017
amounted to USD0.3 million (30 June 2016: USD2.6 million) (Note
22), with USD0.05 million (30 June 2016: USD0.5 million) (Note 19)
in outstanding balance due to investment manager and USD0.3 million
(30 June 2016: USD1.7 million) (Note 18) in the outstanding accrued
fees at the reporting date.
ii) The Company will also pay an incentive fee of 10% of the
amount by which the total return from the sale of private equity
assets exceeds a hurdle amount of USD80.9 million. The total return
equals the aggregate of all net sale proceeds and other
distribution received by the Company from private equity
investments. This incentive fee will be paid when the proceeds
collected from private equity asset sales have exceeded the hurdle
amount. Total incentive fee payable for the year ended 30 June 2017
amounted to USD1.2 million (30 June 2016: nil) (Note 22), with
USD0.2 million (30 June 2016: nil) (Note 19) in outstanding balance
due to investment manager and USD1 million (30 June 2016: nil)

29 RECOGNISED FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
a) Financial assets and financial liabilities
i) Fair value hierarchy
The following table presents financial assets measured at fair
value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined
as below:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3: inputs for the assets that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial assets are classified is
determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the
fair value measurement.
As at 30 June 2017, there were no financial asset measured at
fair value by valuation method held by the Company.
As at 30 June 2016, the financial assets measures at fair value
in the balance sheet were grouped into the fair value hierarchy as
follows:
Recurring fair value Level Level Level Total
measurements 1 2 3
USD'000 USD'000 USD'000 USD'000
Ordinary shares - unlisted - 38,245 - 38,245
---------- ------------ ---------- ------------
- 38,245 - 38,245
During the year, there were no transfers between the fair value
hierarchy levels (30 June 2016: nil). There were also no other
reclassifications of financial assets in the current year and prior
year.
ii) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial
instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices for level 1 listed shares;
- the use of dealer quotes or published daily net asset value for level 2 unlisted shares;
- the fair value of borrowing is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
iii) Valuation process
The Company's internal investment officers perform the valuation
of listed and unlisted securities for financial reporting purposes.
The valuation results are reported directly to the Audit and
Valuation Committee and approved by the Board for adoption.
(b) Non-financial assets and financial liabilities
i) Fair value hierarchy
This note explains the judgements and estimates made in
determining the fair values of the non-financial assets that are
recognised and measured at fair value in the consolidated financial
statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the
inputs used in determining fair value the Group has classified its
non-financial assets and liabilities into the three levels
prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each
level is provided in Note 29(a).

The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of
fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change
in circumstances that caused the transfer.
There were no transfers between levels in prior year.
i) Valuation technique used to determine level 3 fair values
Specific valuation techniques used to determine the level 3 fair
value include:
- sale comparison approach for level 3 investment properties and plant and machinery;
- discounted cash flow ("DCF") method for level 3 plant and machinery.
ii) Significant unobservable inputs (level 3)
The significant unobservable inputs used in the DCF calculation
for the respective investment properties and plant and machinery
are as follows:
VIHL IBS network
- Future IBS growth to generate incremental rental cash inflows
- such growth is funded by recurring cash inflows from existing
leases while rental for new IBS and tenants is based on the same
terms as those of existing leases;
- Discount rates - reflecting current market assessment of the
uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; and
- Terminal value - reflecting management's view of long-term growth in the sector.
SEATH BTS tower network
- Future tower and tenancy growth to generate incremental rental
cash inflows - such growth is funded by recurring cash inflows from
existing leases while rental for new towers and tenants is based on
the same terms as those of existing leases;
- Discount rates - reflecting current market assessment of the
uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; and
- Terminal value - reflecting management's view of long-term growth in the sector.
iii) Valuation process
After being classified as asset held for sale the fair value of
BTS network and IBS system are based on the pricing terms set out
in the sale and purchase agreements.

30 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group invests in listed and unlisted equity instruments,
debt instruments, assets and other opportunities in Vietnam and
other countries with the objective of achieving medium to long-term
capital appreciation and providing investment income.
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market
risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risk);
credit risk; and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk
management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the
Group's financial performance. The Group's risk management is
coordinated by the Investment Manager who manages the distribution
of the assets to achieve the investment objectives.
Since the restructuring of the Group on 15 December 2014 the
Company has sought to progressively realise its Private Equity
Portfolio with an objective of completing this exercise by 9
October 2017. Consequently, the Group's objective to maximise
capital returns to its shareholders.
The most significant financial risks the Group is exposed to are
described below:
(a) Market risk analysis
Foreign exchange and foreign currency sensitivity risks
The Group's exposure to risk resulting from changes in foreign
currency exchange rates is moderate as although transactions in
Vietnam are settled in the VND, the value of the VND has
historically been closely linked to that of the USD, the reporting
currency.
The Group has not entered into any hedging mechanisms as the
estimated benefits of available instruments outweigh their costs.
On an ongoing basis the Investment Manager analyses the current
economic environment and expected future conditions and decides the
optimal currency mix considering the risk of currency fluctuation,
interest rate return differentials, and transaction costs. The
Investment Manager updates the Board regularly and reports on any
significant changes for further actions to be taken.
As at 30 June 2017, the Group has foreign currency exposure
mainly arising from holding financial assets and financial
liabilities which is not denominated in its functional currency. At
the reporting date, had the VND weakened/strengthened by 5% in
relation to USD, with all other variables held constant, there
would be a net exchange loss/gain of USD0.003 million (2016: a net
exchange gain/loss of USD1.1 million).
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused
by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or
factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.
The Group invests directly and indirectly in listed and unlisted
equity securities and is exposed to market price risk of these
securities due to the uncertainties about future values of the
investment securities.
As at 30 June 2017, following the final tender of listed
portfolio shares, the Group has ceased its holding in VVF shares,
therefor not exposed to any price risk.
As at 30 June 2016, all equity investments of the Group are the
Group's interest in an open-ended fund which in turn invests in the
listed securities that publicly traded on the Vietnam stock
exchanges. The Group has no concentration in individual equity
positions exceeding 5% of the Group's net assets. If the prices of
the securities increased or decreased by 10%, the impact on the net
asset value of the Group would be a gain or loss of USD3.4
million.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is related to
interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities. Cash
and cash equivalents are subject to interest at fixed rates. They
are exposed to fair value changes due to interest rate changes. As
at 30 June 2017, the Group currently has no financial liabilities
exposed to fair value changes due to interest rate changes,
therefor not exposed to any cash flow and interest rate risk. As at
30 June 2016, the Group had financial liabilities arising from
long-term borrowings in USD with floating interest rates. The
Group's forecast of the interest rates was favourable for the
borrowings and it had limited exposure to cash flow and interest
rate risk.
(b) Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to
pay amounts in full when due. Impairment provisions are provided
for losses that have been incurred by the Group at the reporting
date.
The Investment Manager maintains a list of approved banks for
holding deposits and set aggregate limits for deposits or exposures
to individual banks. While this list is formally reviewed each
month, it is updated to reflect developments in the market on a
timely basis as new information becomes available.
All of the USD4.3 million (30 June 2016: USD25.6 million) cash
and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2017 was deposited with a bank
that has a Standard and Poors ('S&P') rating of AA- at the
reporting date.
The carrying amount of trade and other receivables represent the
Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its
financial assets.
As at 30 June 2017, the Group did not provide impairment for
trade and receivables of assets of disposal groups classified as
held for sale (30 June 2016: nil). The credit quality of financial
assets that are neither past due nor impaired is assessed by
management for each period end. This assessment takes into account
the financial health of the customers, or history of payments and
defaults of existing customers of the Group. Debtors and amounts
due from a related party that are neither past due nor impaired are
substantially companies with good collection records with the
Group.
No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period other
than those impaired as disclosed in Notes 3.1(d) and Note 6
relating to the prepayment for acquisition of investment in the
Long An Industrial Service project. As at 30 June 2016, management
did not expect any losses from non-performance by these
counterparties.
In accordance with the Group's policy, the Investment Manager
continuously monitors the Group's credit position, identified
either individually or by group, and incorporates this information
into its credit controls.
The Group's Investment Manager reconsiders the valuations of
financial assets that are impaired or overdue at each reporting
date based on the payment status of the counterparties,
recoverability of receivables, and prevailing market
conditions.
(c) Liquidity risk analysis
The Group invests in both listed securities that are traded in
active markets and unlisted securities that are not actively
traded.
The Group's listed securities are considered to be readily
realisable, as they are mainly listed on the Vietnam Stock
Exchanges. However, there have been times in the past when, due to
restrictions imposed by the market daily trading bands, shares
cannot be sold immediately. Under such circumstances it is likely
that the Group's holdings in listed shares are not immediately
realisable.
Unlisted securities, which are not traded in an organised public
market, may be illiquid. As a result, the Group may not be able to
quickly liquidate its investments in these instruments at an amount
close to fair value in order to respond to its liquidity
requirements or to other specific events such as deterioration in
the creditworthiness of a particular issuer. However, the Group has
the ability to borrow in the short-term to ensure sufficient cash
is available for any settlements due.
At the reporting date, the Group's liabilities which have
contractual maturities are summarised below:

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