ANNUAL REPORT 2010/2011 137
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 March 2011
10 Exceptional Items (in $ million)
The exceptional items comprised fines paid by Singapore Airlines Cargo Pte Ltd (“SIA Cargo”) as imposed by
the European Commission (EUR74.8 million or $135.7 million), the South Korean Fair Trade Commission
(KRW3.1 billion or $3.6 million) and as agreed with the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division
(USD48.0 million or $62.5 million).
SIA Cargo has filed an appeal against the European Commission’s decision. An appeal was also filed against
the South Korean Fair Trade Commission’s decision. In both appeals, SIA Cargo contests any suggestion
that it was involved in a conspiracy to fix surcharges.
SIA Cargo has accepted the plea offer made by the United States Department of Justice. The plea agreement
has brought the Department of Justice’s air cargo investigations in the United States to a close for SIA Cargo.
11 Taxation (in $ million)

The Group has tax losses (of which no deferred tax asset has been recognised) of approximately
$30.9 million (2010: $24.4 million) that are available for offset against future taxable profits of the
companies. This is due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. The use of the tax
losses is subject to the agreement of the tax authorities and compliance with certain provisions of the tax
legislation of the respective countries in which the companies operate.
