ANNUAL REPORT 2010/2011 177
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The foreign currency risk sensitivity analysis is based on the assumption that all cash flow hedges are
highly effective; hence there will be no impact on profit before taxation from the cash flow hedges.
The following table details the sensitivity of a 1% strengthening of SGD against the respective foreign
currencies. The sensitivity analysis includes only significant outstanding foreign currency denominated
monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 1% change in foreign currency rates.

If the relevant foreign currency strengthens by 1% against SGD, equity and profit before taxation
would change by the same amounts in the opposite direction.
