1 CMT Group includes the proportionate consolidation of the 40.00% interest in Raffles City Singapore, consolidation of 100.00% interest in CapitaRetail
Singapore Limited with effect from 1 June 2007 and CMT MTN Pte. Ltd. (CMT MTN) with effect from 13 April 2007 and equity accounting of its associate,
CapitaRetail China Trust with effect from 1 April 2007. With effect from 30 May 2011, CMT Group also includes the proportionate consolidation of 30.00%
interest in Infinity Mall Trust and Infinity Office Trust.
2 The decrease in total assets as at 31 December 2009 is mainly due to the revaluation deficit on investment properties, offset by the increase in cash and
cash equivalents mainly from the balance of net proceeds of the underwritten renounceable 9-for-10 rights issue (Rights Issue) in April 2009.
3 Excludes unamortised premium and transaction costs. 4 Lower due to repayment of loans with the proceeds from the Rights Issue in 2009. 5 Excludes outstanding distributable income as at end of each period.
6 139,665,000 and 125,000,000 new units in CMT with proceeds of S$250.0 million each were issued via private placement exercises on 10 November 2011
and 30 November 2012 respectively.
7 Based on the closing unit price of S$1.59 on 31 December 2008, S$1.80 on 31 December 2009, S$1.95 on 31 December 2010, S$1.70 on 30 December
2011 and S$2.13 on 31 December 2012. 8 The negative Earnings Per Unit of 2.23 cents as at 31 December 2009 is mainly due to the revaluation deficit on investment properties.
9 Distribution Per Unit for years 2009 to 2012 are lower than prior years due to the increase in units from the Rights Issue. 10 Refers to the expenses of the Trust, excluding property expenses and interest expense but including performance component of CapitaMall Trust
Management Limited’s management fees, expressed as a percentage of weighted average net assets.
11Higher in 2012 mainly due to the repayment of commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) borrowings under Silver Maple Investment Corporation Ltd
of S$783.0 million on 31 October 2012. Following the repayment, the properties mortgaged under the CMBS borrowings namely Tampines Mall, Junction 8,
Funan DigitaLife Mall, IMM Building, Bugis Junction, Sembawang Shopping Centre and JCube were discharged and released.
12Net Debt comprises gross debt less temporary cash intended for acquisition and refinancing and EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortisation.
13 From 2008 to 2010, it was assumed that bondholders of the S$650.0 million 1.0% convertible bonds due 2013 (2013 Convertible Bonds) exercise put option
in July 2011. In 2011 and 2012, it was assumed that bondholders of the 2013 Convertible Bonds hold to maturity till 2 July 2013.
14Higher in 2012 mainly due to the long tenures of between six to 12 years for four series of Euro-Medium Term Notes and one series of Medium Term Notes
issued under CMT MTN in 2012.
15 The figures have been restated for the effect of the Rights Issue, through which 1,502,358,923 units were issued on 2 April 2009.

Track Record
Dear Unitholders,
In 2012, we commemorated CapitaMall Trust’s (CMT)
10th year of operation. The past decade for us, as
the manager of CMT, has been very rewarding. From
being the first real estate investment trust (REIT) listed
on the Singapore Exchange in 2002 with only three
shopping malls, CMT has become the largest REIT
as well as the largest mall owner in Singapore today
with 151 operational malls. During this period, we have
grown CMT’s total asset size by almost 10 times to
approximately S$9.9 billion, with assets comprising
a portfolio of predominantly well-located necessity
shopping malls whose businesses have shown their
resilience through several economic downturns. We
delivered a total return of approximately 218.5%2 for
Unitholders who have invested in CMT since its public
listing on 17 July 2002.
We are pleased with our record of value creation, but
we will strive to do even better for our Unitholders.
To fully realise CMT’s potential, we will continue to
drive sustainable growth for our Unitholders through
active lease management, asset enhancements and
acquisitions.
Delivering Steady Operational Performance
Singapore’s economic growth slowed to 1.3%3 in 2012,
from 5.2% in 2011. It was buffeted by many headwinds
including concerns over the ongoing European debt
crisis, the fiscal cliff in the United States and a potential
economic slowdown in major emerging economies,
including China.
Despite a less favourable environment, CMT achieved
net property income (NPI) of S$445.3 million for the
financial year ended 31 December 2012. This was
6.5% higher than the NPI for 2011. Distribution per unit
(DPU) for 2012 was 9.46 cents, higher than the DPU
of 9.37 cents in 2011. This translates to a distribution
yield of 4.4% based on CMT’s closing price of
S$2.13 per unit on 31 December 2012. The improved
performance in 2012 compared with 2011 was mainly
due to contributions from JCube which re-opened in
April 2012, Bugis+ which was acquired in April 2011
and saw completion of asset enhancement works in
July 2012, as well as rental increases from new leases
and renewal of existing leases.
A total of 446 leases were renewed with a growth of
6.0% over preceding rental rates contracted three
years ago. CMT’s portfolio occupancy rate improved
to 98.2% as at 31 December 2012 from 94.8% a year
ago, largely due to the healthy take-up rate of new
space at Bugis+ and The Atrium@Orchard after asset
enhancement.
Reaping Benefits from Asset Enhancements
On the asset enhancement front, we have had a
few notable achievements in 2012. We successfully
completed major asset enhancement projects at JCube,
Bugis+ and The Atrium@Orchard during the year. These
have begun to bear fruit since full operations started
at these malls.
JCube, which is positioned as an ultra-hip entertainment
mall, opened for operations in April 2012. It is home to
Singapore’s only Olympic-size ice rink and first IMAX
theatre in the suburbs. The mall sits on the site of the
former Jurong Entertainment Centre. Approximately
99.6% of JCube’s net lettable area (NLA) was leased
as at end-December 2012, and JCube made its maiden
NPI contribution of S$14.2 million in 2012.
At Bugis+, asset enhancement works were completed
in end-July 2012. As the retail and entertainment
extension of neighbouring Bugis Junction, linked by an
overhead bridge at Level 2, Bugis+ and Bugis Junction
form a seamless destination with more than 630,000
square feet of NLA. Approximately 99.5% of Bugis+’s
NLA was leased as at end-December 2012. The mall
recorded NPI of S$10.3 million in 2012, compared to
S$2.4 million in 2011.

Letter to
Unitholders
The new retail space at The Atrium@Orchard was opened
in end-October 2012 and it is now fully integrated with
the adjacent Plaza Singapura. With the integration,
the enlarged Plaza Singapura now boasts more than
620,000 square feet of retail space and houses over
300 retail tenants. As at end-December 2012, 95.3%
of The Atrium@Orchard’s total retail and office space
has been taken up.
Besides these asset enhancement works for JCube,
Bugis+ and The Atrium@Orchard, we had announced
an asset enhancement initiative for Clarke Quay’s
Blocks C and E in January 2012. This exercise was
fully completed in January 2013 and the new space
has been fully leased to food & beverage (F&B) cum
entertainment outlets.
We have estimated that collectively, the asset enhancement
projects at JCube, Bugis+, The Atrium@Orchard and
Clarke Quay will contribute projected NPI of approximately
S$46.0 million per annum in the steady state. We are
on track to meet our return on investment targets for
these projects.
We have also embarked on asset enhancement works in
May 2012 to reposition IMM Building as a value-focused
mall. The works involve a reconfiguration of space to
transform the property into Singapore’s largest cluster
of outlet stores under one roof. As at end-December
2012, we are close to realising our target of opening
50 outlet brands in IMM Building by May 2013. Forty
outlet brands have been committed as at end-2012,
of which 32 outlets are already operational.
The local retail scene has flourished in the past three
years, with the introduction of more new brands and
F&B outlets. We are happy that numerous brands have
chosen to establish their first stores in Singapore at our
malls. The new retail space created at JCube, Bugis+
and The Atrium@Orchard after asset enhancement
has attracted a total of 30 new-to-Singapore concepts
such as Francfranc, 1 Market by Chef Wan, BonChon
Chicken, Hoshino Coffee, JRunway and Shana.

Extracting Value from Investment and
Divestment Activities
Construction of Westgate, an integrated retail and
office development project in which CMT has a 30.00%
stake, commenced in January 2012 and made good
progress during the year. Located in Jurong Gateway
and the only development directly connected to both
the Jurong East Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Interchange
Station and bus interchange, Westgate has drawn
strong interest from retailers. Leasing activities for the
shopping mall are on track and brands opening their first
stores outside Singapore’s downtown area at Westgate
include Isetan’s Japanese supermarket and popular
French bakery and patisserie Paul Bakery. The mall is
slated to open by December 2013. Westgate Tower,
the office building in this mixed-use development, is
about 50.0% pre-leased to CapitaLand Limited group,
which will be moving there progressively from end-2014.
In June 2012, we completed our sale of Hougang Plaza
for a total consideration of approximately S$119.1
million. This was CMT’s first ever asset divestment. After
reviewing all options for Hougang Plaza, we believed
that a sale of the asset would unlock higher value for
our Unitholders. If we had opted to retain the asset, we
would have to commit significant capital expenditure
over the next few years to maintain the mall. The net
proceeds will be used for general corporate and working
capital purposes.
Enhancing Financial Flexibility
In 2012, we raised about S$1.4 billion through a series
of note issuances and a private placement. We tapped
into the debt market and issued notes with debt tenures
ranging from six to 12 years, allowing us to lengthen
CMT’s average term to debt maturity to 3.9 years as
at 31 December 2012, compared to 2.7 years a year
ago. At the same time, we accomplished this with a
lower cost of debt of 3.3% as at end-2012, versus
3.5% as at end-2011.
The private placement in November 2012 improved
CMT’s financial capacity and flexibility, with gross
proceeds of approximately S$250.0 million raised from
the issue of 125.0 million new units. The net proceeds,
together with part of the amounts raised from fixed
rate notes issuances, will be used to refinance CMT’s
debts due in 2013. This will reduce CMT’s aggregate
leverage and enhance the trust’s debt headroom.
Green Mark Platinum awards, the highest accolade
for green building certification in Singapore, from the
Building and Construction Authority. Lot One Shoppers’
Mall, Plaza Singapura, Sembawang Shopping Centre
and Bukit Panjang Plaza also obtained Green Mark
Gold awards. We will strive to further improve our
environmental performance to utilise energy and water
efficiently and to minimise waste generated.
We fully repaid a S$783.0 million term loan on 31
October 2012, which allowed us to unencumber an
additional seven malls. With this repayment, we now
have unencumbered 13 out of 15 malls. Approximately
80.7% of CMT’s borrowings were unsecured as at
31 December 2012, compared to 53.1% as at 31
December 2011.
Looking Forward
During the year, we also repurchased and cancelled
S$158.0 million in principal amount of the convertible
bonds due in 2013, leaving us with only about S$98.25
million in principal amount outstanding.
Winning Accolades
We are honoured that we have won recognition during
the year for our investor relations, corporate governance
and green efforts.
In July 2012, we garnered Gold Awards for ‘Best Investor
Relations’ and ‘Best Annual Report’ under the REITS
& Business Trusts category at Singapore Corporate
Awards 2012. We were also the winner of ‘Singapore
Corporate Governance Award’ (REITs category) and
runner-up for ‘Most Transparent Company Award’
(REITs & Business Trusts category) at the Securities
Investors Association Singapore (SIAS) Investors’
Choice Awards 2012 in October. Capping the year, we
were awarded a Certificate of Excellence at the Investor
Relations (IR) Magazine South East Asia Awards
2012 in December.
Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry expects the
domestic economy to grow between 1.0% and 3.0%
in 2013, with global economic conditions projected
to remain sluggish. Against this backdrop, shoppers
may turn more cautious in their spending patterns. In
addition, the prevailing issues of manpower shortages
and rising wages could dampen some retailers’ plans
to expand their retail space.
Rising wages have also led to increases in our costs of
cleaning and security services which currently constitute
less than 10.0% of our operating costs. On our part, we
have implemented measures such as the installation
of more CCTVs in our malls to optimise security and
to mitigate increasing costs. We will continue to tackle
these cost increases by raising labour productivity and
harnessing cost-saving technologies.
Nevertheless, strong economic fundamentals, a
growing population and a low unemployment rate will
help keep the retail sector buoyant. CMT’s portfolio
of well-located necessity shopping malls of attractive
scale and its extensive retailer network will position
us well in these times. We expect JCube, Bugis+,
The Atrium@Orchard and Clarke Quay to continue to
boost our rental income in 2013, as their operations
approach steady state after asset enhancement. This
year, we will focus on our repositioning exercise for
IMM Building and leasing activities for Westgate, both
of which are progressing well.
Responsibility for the environment and for our society
is a core component of our strategy. We are pleased
that we have continued to make improvements in this
aspect. In 2012, Bugis+ and Junction 8 were awarded

Shopper Traffic
In 2012, there was a slight decline in shopper traffic, largely due to the asset enhancement works at some of our
malls. Upon the completion of the works, we will provide shoppers with more retail offerings and refreshing shopping
experiences. This will further strengthen overall attractiveness of our malls to our shoppers.

For comparable basis, the chart includes the entire CMT portfolio of malls, except JCube, Bugis+, The Atrium@Orchard and Hougang Plaza, which was
sold in June 2012. JCube, Bugis+ and The Atrium@Orchard were previously undergoing asset enhancement works and have commenced full operations
in April, August and October 2012 respectively.
Divestment of Hougang Plaza
We continually evaluate our portfolio of assets and explore opportunities to enhance value for our Unitholders. The
divestment of Hougang Plaza was completed on 13 June 2012. The net proceeds will be used for general corporate
and working capital purposes.
Asset Enhancement Initiatives
In April 2012, the revamped and transformed JCube welcomed shoppers with an iconic unique facade inspired by an ice
cube. With the completion of the asset enhancement works, the tenant mix was refreshed to offer more entertainment and
food & beverage (F&B) offerings. With its IMAX theatre and Singapore’s only Olympic-size ice rink, JCube is positioned
as a youth and entertainment hotspot.
Asset enhancement works for Bugis+ were completed in end-July 2012. The works involved decantation of retail units
to create space and to increase the space efficiency. It also involved the relocation of atrium space and escalators to
improve layout and traffic circulation within the mall. Furthermore, after the straightening of lease lines of retail units on
the link bridge between Bugis+ and Bugis Junction, visibility was enhanced between the two malls. The integration leads
to an enlarged and seamless shopping destination offering more retail, F&B and entertainment offerings for its shoppers.
The revamped The Atrium@Orchard welcomed shoppers in end-October 2012 with three new levels of fashion, F&B and
lifestyle offerings. The property had undergone asset enhancement works to transform levels 1 to 3 into higher yielding
prime retail space, which are seamlessly integrated with Plaza Singapura via internal corridors. With an additional 135,000
sq ft of NLA, shoppers can now look forward to a more complete shopping experience at the enlarged Plaza Singapura.
Asset enhancement works for Clarke Quay were fully completed in January 2013. The works involved recovering space
from an anchor tenant to optimise the use of space at Block C and maximising gross floor area at Block E. Blocks C
and E are now refreshed with a vibrant frontage along River Valley Road with more F&B offerings. The new frontage,
designed to match the heritage architecture of the location, brings back the charm of the old warehouses at Clarke Quay.
In May 2012, we have also commenced works at IMM Building, to reposition IMM Building as a value-focused mall to
enhance its competitiveness. Upon completion of works, IMM Building will house Singapore’s largest cluster of outlet
stores under one roof. We are close to realising a target of opening 50 outlet brands by May 2013. Forty outlet brands
have been committed as at end-2012, of which 32 outlets are already operational.

Gross Revenue
Gross Revenue by Property (S$ million)
Gross revenue for financial year (FY) 2012
was S$661.6 million, an increase of S$31.0
million or 4.9% over FY 2011. JCube, which
re-opened on 2 April 2012, accounted for
S$23.7 million of the increase in gross
revenue. Bugis+, acquired on 1 April
2011 commenced asset enhancement
initiatives (AEI) in November 2011 and
completed the AEI in end-July 2012,
accounted for S$8.4 million of the increase
in gross revenue. The other malls, except
for The Atrium@Orchard (Atrium) and IMM
Building (IMM), accounted for another
S$8.4 million increase in gross revenue
mainly due to higher rental rates achieved
from new and renewed leases and stepup rents. Atrium recorded lower gross
revenue as it was undergoing AEI since
January 2011. Atrium’s AEI was completed
in end-October 2012 while IMM recorded
lower gross revenue as a result of the
ongoing AEI which started in May 2012.

Distributions
Distribution for FY 2012 was S$316.9 million, an increase of S$15.3 million or 5.1% as compared to FY 2011.
Distribution per unit (DPU) for FY 2012 is 9.46 cents, 1.0% higher than 9.37 cents for FY 2011. The increase was
mainly attributed to JCube which re-opened on 2 April 2012, Bugis+ which had completed its AEI in end-July 2012
and the strong operating performance from the properties. CMT has retained S$15.3 million capital distribution
income received from CapitaRetail China Trust for general corporate and working capital purposes.
On 30 November 2012, 125.0 million new units in CMT were issued via a private placement exercise for the purposes
of capital expenditure, AEI of CMT properties, refinancing of existing debts of CMT and its subsidiaries and/or
general corporate and working capital. In order to ensure fairness to holders of CMT units prior to the issuance of
the private placement of new units, CMT declared an advanced distribution for the period from 1 October 2012 to
29 November 2012, the day immediately prior to the date on which the private placement new units were issued. The
advanced distribution was paid on 28 January 2013.

Assets
As at 31 December 2012, the total assets for CMT and its subsidiaries (CMT Group) were S$9,888.7 million, compared
with S$9,172.2 million as at 31 December 2011. The increase of S$716.5 million was mainly due to the revaluation
surplus of S$165.8 million, capital expenditure of S$210.8 million and the increase in cash and cash equivalents of
S$360.7 million. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of S$360.7 million was mainly due to the proceeds from
S$150.0 million Medium Term Notes and four series of foreign currency denominated fixed rate notes of Euro-Medium
Term Notes which were swapped into Singapore dollar fixed rate notes totalling S$992.9 million issued during the
year under CMT MTN Pte. Ltd. and proceeds of S$250.0 million from issuance of new units via the private placement
completed on 30 November 2012. This was offset by the repayment of the S$783.0 million commercial mortgage
backed securities under Silver Maple Investment Corporation Ltd as well as the repurchase of S$158.0 million in
principal amount of the S$650.0 million 1.0% convertible bonds due 2013.

Gross Revenue
Gross Revenue
Gross revenue for the FY ended 31 December 2011 was
S$630.6 million, an increase of S$49.5 million or 8.5% over
S$581.1 million for the FY ended 31 December 2010. Of
the increase, S$28.9 million was due to Clarke Quay and
Bugis+, which were acquired on 1 July 2010 and 1 April
2011 respectively, while the balance was attributed to higher
gross revenue across the malls mainly due to the higher
rental rates achieved from new and renewed leases and
step-up rents. The increase was partially offset by decrease
in revenue from Atrium due to the commencement of its
AEI in January 2011.
Gross revenue for the FY 2010 was S$581.1 million, an
increase of S$28.4 million or 5.1% over S$552.7 million for
FY 2009. S$15.4 million of the increase was due to Clarke
Quay, which was acquired on 1 July 2010 while the balance
was attributed to higher gross revenues across the malls
mainly due to the higher rental rates achieved from new
and renewed leases and step-up rents.
Net Property Income
As a result of the higher gross revenue, NPI of S$418.2
million was S$19.1 million or 4.8% higher than the S$399.1
million for FY 2010. Similarly, this was mainly due to Clarke
Quay and Bugis+ which were acquired on 1 July 2010 and
1 April 2011 respectively and higher rental income across
the malls which is partially offset by decrease in revenue
from Atrium and JCube due to AEI.

Gross Revenue
Gross Revenue
Gross revenue for FY 2009 was S$552.7 million, an increase
of S$41.8 million or 8.2% over S$510.9 million for FY 2008.
S$19.4 million of the increase was due to Atrium which was
acquired on 15 August 2008. The balance was attributed
to higher gross revenues from Tampines Mall, IMM, Plaza
Singapura, Bugis Junction, Sembawang Shopping Centre
(SSC) and Lot One Shoppers’ Mall (Lot One) mainly due to
the completion of AEI and partially offset by decrease in
gross revenue from JCube as it has ceased operations for
AEI. On a comparable mall basis (excluding SSC, JCube
and Atrium), gross revenue for FY2009 was S$18.0 million
or 3.6% higher than FY2008.
Gross revenue for FY 2008 was S$510.9 million, an
increase of S$79.0 million or 18.3% over S$431.9 million for
FY 2007. This was mainly due to an increase in revenue of
S$28.8 million from the three properties (namely Lot One,
Bukit Panjang Plaza and Rivervale Mall) under CapitaRetail
Singapore Limited (CRS) which contributed 12 months of
revenue in FY 2008 compared with seven months of revenue
in FY 2007 as the acquisition of the balance 72.8% of the
Class E bonds in CRS was completed on 1 June 2007. In
addition, gross revenue from Atrium, which was acquired
on 15 August 2008, accounted for a further S$10.4 million.
The other CMT malls accounted for another S$27.8 million
increase in revenue mainly due to higher rents from new and
renewed leases as well as higher revenue from Tampines
Mall, IMM, Plaza Singapura and Bugis Junction following
the completion of AEI. CMT’s 40.00% interest in Raffles
City Singapore (RCS) through the RCS Trust, the special
purpose vehicle that holds RCS, accounted for another
S$12.0 million increase in revenue.
Net Property Income
million for FY 2008. Similarly, this was mainly due to
Atrium which was acquired on 15 August 2008, SSC which
re-opened in late December 2008 and higher NPI from
Tampines Mall, IMM, Plaza Singapura, Bugis Junction and
Lot One mainly due to the completion of AEI.
Net Property Income
million for FY 2007. Similarly, this was mainly due to the
increase of S$19.2 million from the full year contribution
from the three properties under CRS against seven months
of contribution in FY 2007. Atrium accounted for S$6.7
million and CMT’s 40.00% interest in RCS Trust contributed
about S$6.6 million. Increased rental income from the other
malls also contributed to the improved NPI.

Risk Management
Effective enterprise-wide risk management is a fundamental
part of CMT’s and its subsidiaries’ (CMT Group) business
strategy. The potential risks are identified and key controls
to mitigate these risks are established to protect Unitholders’
interests and value.
Key Risks & Control Measures
Operational Risk
To mitigate and manage operational risk, CMT Group has
integrated risk management into the day-to-day activities
across all functions. Measures include the establishment
of planning and control systems, group-wide policies,
information technology systems, and operational reporting
and monitoring procedures which are overseen by the
executive committee and Board of Directors. The risk
management system is regularly monitored and examined
to ensure continuing effectiveness.
The risk management framework is designed to ensure
appropriate processes and procedures are in place to
prevent, manage and mitigate any operational risk.
Investment Risk
One of the main sources of growth for CMT Group is the
acquisition of properties, asset enhancement initiatives
(AEI) as well as investment in greenfield developments. The
risks involved in such investment activities are managed
through a rigorous set of investment criteria which includes
potential for growth in yield, rental sustainability and
potential for value creation. Also, key financial projection
assumptions are reviewed and sensitivity analyses are
performed on key variables.
Currency Risk
As the assets of CMT Group are currently based in
Singapore, there is little or no foreign exchange exposure
from its operations. CMT borrows in Singapore Dollars
from its wholly-owned subsidiary, CMT MTN Pte. Ltd.
(CMT MTN). CMT MTN provides treasury services to CMT,
including the on-lending of proceeds from notes issued
under the S$2.5 billion unsecured Multicurrency Medium
Term Note Programme (MTN Programme), and the US$2.0
billion unsecured Euro-Medium Term Note Programme
(EMTN Programme).
RCS Trust, in which CMT has a 40.00% interest, borrows
in Singapore Dollars from a special purpose vehicle, Silver
Oak Ltd (Silver Oak). Silver Oak issued foreign currency
denominated notes at floating rates at attractive spreads by
borrowing from the overseas markets. They were swapped
into fixed rate and Singapore Dollars.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the potential volatility in earnings caused by
tenants’ failure to fulfill their contractual lease payment
obligations, as and when they fall due. There is a stringent
collection policy in place to ensure that credit risk is
minimised. In addition to the requirement for upfront
payment of security deposit of an amount approximating
three months’ rent on average (which may be lodged
in the form of cash or bankers’ guarantee), CMT Group
also established vigilant monitoring and debt collection
procedures. Debt turnover of CMT Group was 2.3 days
for 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011.
Liquidity Risk
CMT Group actively monitors its cash flow position to ensure
that there are sufficient liquid reserves, in the form of cash
and banking facilities, to finance its operations and AEI. The
Group also monitors covenants closely to ensure compliance.
The potential risks associated with proposed projects and
the issues that may prevent their smooth implementation
or attainment of projected outcomes are identified at
evaluation stage. This is to enable us to devise action
plans to mitigate such risks as early as possible.
Financing Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Different funding strategies are used to minimise over
reliance on a single source of funds for any funding or
refinancing requirements. Other than MTN and EMTN
programmes, CMT is also one of the first real estate
investment trusts to set up a Retail Bond programme and
had issued S$300.0 million bonds under the S$2.5 billion
programme in 2011 at an interest rate of 2.00% per annum.
CMT Group has also tapped into the convertible bonds and
commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) markets
for funds. In addition, CMT Group has banking facilities
as a source of back-up funds.
The Group’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates
relates primarily to interest-bearing financial liabilities.
Interest rate risk is managed on an ongoing basis, and
with the primary objective of minimising the impact on net
interest expense that is caused by adverse movements
in interest rates. Hence, CMT Group proactively seeks to
minimise the level of interest rate risk by locking in most
of its borrowings at fixed interest rates.
As at 31 December 2012, the risk is minimal as the Group’s
borrowings are either on fixed rate basis or have been
swapped into Singapore Dollar fixed rates.
Given our reliance on external sources of funding for
refinancing of existing borrowings, acquisitions of new
property and AEI, the health of the debt markets directly
affects CMT.
31
Risk & Capital
Management
CMT Group will continue to proactively manage its capital
structure by ensuring its debt maturity profile is spread out
without major concentration of debt maturing in a single
year, and maintaining an optimal gearing level.
Interested Person Transaction Risk
The Manager has established internal control procedures
to ensure that all transactions involving the Trustee and a
related party of the Manager (Interested Person Transactions)
are undertaken on an arm’s length basis and on normal
commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests
of the Unitholders.
For Interested Person Transactions, the Manager would have
to demonstrate to the Audit Committee that the transactions
were undertaken on normal commercial terms which may
include obtaining (where practicable) quotations from
parties unrelated to the Manager, or obtaining valuations
from independent valuers (in accordance with the Property
Funds Appendix). Proactive measures are also adopted to
avoid situations of conflict and potential conflict of interest.

Legal and Compliance Risk
Due to the nature of CMT’s business, CMT is required to
comply with the relevant legislations and regulations that
include the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (Listing Manual),
the Code on Collective Investment Schemes (the CIS Code)
issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and
the tax rulings issued by the Inland Revenue Authority of
Singapore (IRAS) with regards to the taxation of CMT and
its Unitholders. Thus, any changes in these legislations
and regulations may affect CMT’s operations and results.
CMT’s reputation may be adversely affected by its business
activities which may bring about unintended or unexpected
legal consequences.
The manager of CMT (the Manager) has established relevant
policies and procedures to ensure CMT’s compliance with
applicable legislations and regulations.
32
In order to deliver quality products and services to our valued
tenants and customers, the Manager and Property Manager,
CapitaLand Retail Management Pte Ltd, invest in quality
human capital by recruiting and retaining employees with the
relevant expertise, skills and professionalism. High turnover
rate of valued employees can be detrimental as it causes
disruptions to CMT’s business operations and undermines
the implementation of CMT’s strategic business plans.
The Manager and Property Manager have also adopted
an integrated human capital strategy to recruit, develop
and motivate quality employees. In addition to seeking
outstanding talents with the required expertise and
experience, emphasis has also been placed on managing
these talents through staff development and continuous
training. Comprehensive compensation and benefits plans
are also used to motivate and retain the talents. Such
measures are also to ensure that the Group maintains its
competitive edge.
Development and Construction Risk
Under the Property Funds Appendix, the total contract
value of all property development activities undertaken by
CMT Group, together with its investments in uncompleted
property developments, may not exceed 10.0% of CMT
Group’s deposited property. CMT Group’s total deposited
property as at 31 December 2012 is about S$9.9 billion.
To date, the Manager has committed to invest about S$469.5
million on CMT’s first greenfield development project,
Westgate. Ground-breaking for this retail-cum-office
development had commenced in January 2012. Its retail
mall is scheduled to open by end-2013 and its office tower,
by end-2014.
The construction and development of new projects usually
take a few years to complete, depending on the project size
and its complexity. In the event that the projects cannot be
completed within the anticipated time frame and budget, the
delay may have a material adverse effect on CMT’s business,
financial position, results of operations and prospects. In
addition, significant pre-operating costs incurred may not
be recovered within the expected period or at all.
The Manager mitigates such risk through continual
monitoring of the progress of these projects and regular
reviews with senior management on the progress of these
projects. The Manager has established standard operating
procedures (SOPs) to guide project management personnel
and ensure that all required applications are submitted for
the authorities’ approvals. These SOPs are subject to a
series of continuity and consistency reviews by management
and an independent ISO 9001 qualified auditor. In addition,
the Manager has set up a framework for evaluating and
pre-qualifying contractors and service providers that would
be invited for project-related tenders.

facility (RCF) by Infinity Trusts (CMT’s 30.00% share thereof is S$215.5

In 2012, CMT MTN issued four series of foreign currency
denominated notes and one Singapore denominated
note under its EMTN Programme and MTN Programme
respectively, in the following chronological order:
1US$400.0 million six year fixed rate notes on 21 March
2012;
2HK$1.15 billion 10 year fixed rate notes on 28 June 2012;
3 S$150.0 million 12 year fixed rate notes on 2 August
2012;
4 ¥10.0 billion seven year fixed rate notes on 15 October
2012; and
5HK$885.0 million 10.25 year fixed rate notes on 27
November 2012.
The foreign currency denominated notes were swapped
into Singapore Dollar fixed rate notes totalling S$992.9
million. This amount, together with the S$150.0 million MTN
note, were on-lent to CMT to repay the S$783.0 million
CMBS borrowings due on 31 October 2012 as well as to
repay some of the borrowings due in 2013. The CMBS
borrowings were issued under Silver Maple Investment
Corporation Ltd (Silver Maple), a special purpose vehicle.
Following the repayment of the S$783.0 million CMBS
borrowings, the seven properties mortgaged namely
Tampines Mall, Junction 8, Funan DigitaLife Mall, IMM
Building, Bugis Junction, Sembawang Shopping Centre
and JCube were discharged and released. This brings the
number of unencumbered assets under CMT Group to 13,
or 77.5% of total assets as at 31 December 2012.
S$306.0 million of the 2013 Convertible Bonds were
repurchased in 2010 and 2011 and S$87.75 million in
principal amount were redeemed in July 2011. In 2012, CMT
further repurchased another S$158.0 million in principal
amount and reduced the outstanding aggregate principal
to S$98.25 million. The final redemption price upon maturity
on 2 July 2013 is equal to 109.31% of the principal amount.
CMT has a 40.00% interest in RCS Trust. In 2011, Silver Oak
issued US$645.0 million secured CMBS and the proceeds
have been swapped into S$800.0 million. The Singapore
dollar proceeds together with the S$200.0 million secured
term loan under Silver Oak were on-lent to RCS Trust.
Under the loan agreements between Silver Oak and RCS
Trust Trustee-Manager, Silver Oak has granted RCS Trust
a term loan facility of S$1.0 billion and a revolving credit
facility of S$300.0 million. RCS Trust drew down the S$1.0
billion term loan in 2011 and CMT’s 40.00% share thereof
is S$400.0 million.

CMT has a 30.00% interest in Infinity Trusts. Out of the
total facilities of S$820.0 million which comprises term

Four series of EMTN and one series of MTN were (tenures from six years
to 12 years) raised in 2012 with weighted average cost of debt of 3.3%
and weighted average tenure of 8.1 years. This is in line with CMT Group’s
objectives to:
• Diversify sources of funding
In 2012, CMT MTN issued four series of foreign currency denominated
notes, allowing CMT Group to tap into different currencies before
swapping to Singapore Dollars as well as reach out to different groups
of debt investors.
• Stretch debt tenure
CMT’s average term to debt maturity registered 3.9 years as at
31 December 2012, compared to 2.7 years as at 31 December 2011.
• Reduce lumpiness of debts maturing in any one year
The S$783.0 million CMBS borrowings which matured on 31 October
2012 were refinanced with proceeds from borowings raised in 2012.
S$158.0 million in principal amount of the 2013 Convertible Bonds or
S$172.7 million including premium, was repurchased in 2012.
• Unencumber more properties
An additional seven more properties valued at S$3.7 billion as at
31 December 2012 were unencumbered, with the repayment of S$783.0
million CMBS borrowings on 31 October 2012.
• Refinance debt ahead of maturity
The Manager has secured sufficient funds to fully refinance debts due in 2013.

Cash Flows And Liquidity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
CMT Group takes a proactive role in monitoring its
cash flow position and requirements to ensure sufficient
liquidity and adequate funding is available for distribution
to the Unitholders as well as to meet any short-term
obligations.
As at 31 December 2012, the value of cash and cash
equivalents of CMT Group stood at S$1,118.3 million,
compared with S$757.6 million as at 31 December 2011.
The higher quantum was mainly due to the EMTN notes
that were raised ahead of refinancing as well as the
proceeds from the private placement of S$250.0 million
on 30 November 2012. As at 5 March 2013, the entire net
proceeds of S$245.8 million has been used to partially
finance the redemption of the S$300.0 million Retail Bonds
which was due on 25 February 2013. This is in accordance
with the stated use and allocation of the proceeds from
the private placement.
Operating Activities
Operating net cash flow for the FY ended 31 December
2012 was S$459.3 million, an increase of S$77.8 million
over the operating cash flow of S$381.5 million in the
preceding FY. This was mainly due to the increase in net
income as well as the recovery of Goods and Services Tax
in relation to the tender price for Westgate under Infinity
Trusts from IRAS in 2012.
Investing Activities
CMT Group also strives to derive the maximum value out
of its assets which was demonstrated in the divestment
of Hougang Plaza in June 2012. With the divestment,
it provides CMT with greater financial flexibility. As at
31 December 2012, there are 15 properties under CMT
Group’s portfolio. CMT Group will constantly look out for
new acquisition opportunities.
Accounting Policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice
(RAP) 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts” issued by
the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore,
and the applicable requirements of the CIS Code issued
by the MAS and the provisions of the Trust Deed.
Financing Activities
CMT Group continued to adopt a rigorous and focused
approach to monitor the cash position and level of
borrowings with the view of strengthening its capital
structure and competitive position.

Unit Price
Performance
A flight-to-safety theme reigned in the stock markets in
2012, as a subdued global economic outlook kept investors
from taking overweight positions in the other riskier asset
classes, amidst a low interest rate environment.
(STI) which increased by 19.7% year-on-year. This led to
a compression in CMT’s trading yield, as seen for many
other Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts (REITs).
The FTSE ST REIT Index ended the year 36.7% higher.
During the year, CMT’s unit price saw a steady increase
although the uptrend was disrupted in May and June as
global stock markets tumbled. The sell-down in the markets
were largely due to fears over Europe’s sovereign debt crisis
and a slowing United States’ economy. Nonetheless, CMT’s
unit price closed higher by 25.3% at S$2.13 on 31 December
2012, compared to S$1.70 at the beginning of the year, as
investors flocked to defensive and higher-yielding stocks.
CMT’s unit price also outperformed the Straits Times Index
In November 2012, CMT issued 125.0 million new units
through a private placement which brought its total
number of units in issue to approximately 3.4 billion. As at
31 December 2012, CMT’s market capitalisation
registered S$7.4 billion – the highest among REITs in
Singapore. The stock’s trading volume in 2012
reached approximately 1.9 billion units, translating to an
average daily trading volume of approximately
7.5 million units.

Organic Growth
We are able to tap on CapitaMalls
Asia’s unique integrated retail real
estate platform, combining the best
of retail real estate management and
capital management capabilities.
Through this platform, we can call
upon a professional and experienced
team of operations, project and asset
managers who work closely and
seamlessly with each other to:
• Formulate medium- and long-term
strategies and initiatives to deliver
sustainable returns
• Enhance shopping experiences to
attract and increase shopper traffic
• Review space usage to optimise
space productivity and income
• Manage lease renewals and new
leases diligently to minimise rental
voids
• Manage and monitor rental arrears
to minimise bad debts
• Manage projects to ensure timely
completion within budgets
• Manage and monitor property
expenses to maximise net property
income
• Address all key operational issues to
ensure alignment with the Manager’s
strategies.
Active management of new leases
and lease renewals is important for
us to capture opportunities for organic
growth. A major component of CMT’s
organic growth has been achieved
through:
• Step-up rent
• Gross turnover rent, which makes
up about 3.0% to 5.0% of CMT’s
gross revenue. This is a useful
management tool which aligns
CMT’s interests with those of our
tenants. Most of the leases at
CMT’s properties follow a rental
structure which encompasses stepup rent plus a small component
of gross turnover rent or a larger
component of gross turnover rent
only, whichever is higher
• Non-rental income from car parks,
atrium space, advertisement panel
space, casual leasing, vending
machines and customer service
counters
• Improved rental rates for lease
renewals and new leases.

Strategic
planning &
investment
Creative asset planning unlocks the
potential value of CMT’s properties to
further propel growth by enhancing
the retail environment and improving
the attractiveness of the properties to
shoppers and retailers. Diverse ways
to increase the yield and productivity
of CMT’s retail space include:
• Decantation whereby lower-yield
space are converted into higheryield space
• Reconfiguration of retail units to
optimise space efficiency
• Maximising the use of common
areas, such as bridge space, and
converting mechanical and electrical
areas into leasable space
• Upgrading amenities, adding play
and rest areas, providing design
advisory on shop front design and
creating better shopper circulation
to enhance the attractiveness of our
malls.

Inviting
Experiences
To stay ahead of consumer trends, we
constantly reinvent retail experiences
with innovative shopping, dining and
leisure combinations which help to
maximise the sales of the tenants and
generate growth through improved
rental income. The increase in shopper
traffic is generated through:
• Alignment of tenancy mix with
current market trends which ensures
a continuous good mix of attractive
and popular retail outlets in CMT’s
properties
• New retail concepts which generate
fresh excitement and positive sales
• Enhancing shoppers’ experiences
with a more pleasant, comfortable
and exciting environment by
improving connectivity between
floors, installing electronic car park
guidance system and media walls,
upgrading restroom facilities, baby
nursing rooms, family room, children
playgrounds, designated water play
area with interactive features for
children and alfresco dining areas
• Innovative marketing and promotional
events to draw in the crowds
• Attractive shop fronts and visual
merchandising design ideas.
Instrumental
Investments
The ability to identify value-adding
acquisitions, investments and
greenfield development projects
to add to the portfolio and further
enhance their value is central to CMT’s
long-term sustainable growth.
Our investments must satisfy the
investment criteria of:
• potential for growth in yield,
• rental sustainability and
• potential for value creation.
CMT’s 16.38% interest in CapitaRetail
China Trust (CRCT) provides some
exposure to the tremendous growth
in the China retail real estate market
without significantly changing the
asset profile of CMT.
Intensive Capital
& Risk Management
We seek to optimise returns to
Unitholders while maintaining a
strong capital base and credit rating
to support CMT’s growth.
Regular assessments of capital
management policies are undertaken
to ensure that they are adaptable to
changes in economic conditions and
the risk characteristics of CMT. We
also monitor our exposures to various
risk elements by closely adhering to
well-established management policies
and procedures.
As part of our proactive capital
management, we are currently
diversifying our sources of funding
and reducing the lumpiness of debts
maturing in any one year.
In May 2011, CMT took a 30.00%
stake in a joint venture to develop
a prime site at Jurong Gateway,
marking its first foray into greenfield
developments. The new retail-cumoffice development, to be called
Westgate, will offer CMT a new avenue
of growth.

Market Overview
Economic Growth
Singapore recorded strong economic growth from 2000,
with an average annual real gross domestic product (GDP)
growth rate of 5.3% over 2001-2012. This growth was
achieved despite the effects of the global financial crisis
(GFC), which caused growth to decrease to 1.7% in 2008
and -1.0% in 2009.
The Singapore economy is highly integrated, translating
to growth being sensitive to fluctuations in the global
economy, as evidenced by the significantly decreased
growth rates recorded in 2008 and 2009. It also means
that the Singapore economy is one of the first to recover
from a downturn, exemplified by GDP growth increasing
rapidly in 2010 to 14.8%. Economic activity moderated to
normal historical levels in 2011.
Growth in 2012 is estimated to have been 1.3%, a significant
decline from 5.2% in 2011, largely due to soft global
economic conditions. Growth is forecast by the Economic
Intelligence Unit (EIU) to rebound in the next few years,
reaching 2.9% in 2013 and 5.6% in 2016. This translates
to an average annual growth rate of 4.8% for the 20132016 period.
The aforementioned forecasts assume a moderate global
economic recovery over the forecast period. However, as
earlier noted, the Singapore economy is highly integrated
and accordingly there is always downside risk associated
with the absence of a global recovery or another downturn.
Equally, a better than expected global recovery could see
Singapore outperforming forecasts.
Inflation
Consumer price inflation in Singapore has been relatively
low, averaging 2.2% per annum since 2001 and generally
within the Government’s target range of 1.0%-3.0%. 2011
and 2012 recorded inflation above historical trend levels,
with consumer price inflation recorded at 5.2% in 2011 and
estimated at 4.5% for 2012. Recent uncharacteristically
high growth in consumer prices has been largely the result
of rising housing, food, and transport costs.
The EIU expects consumer price inflation to moderate over
2013 and 2014, at 3.7% and 2.9% respectively. Thereafter,
consumer price inflation is forecast to stabilise around
2.4%, corresponding to an average annual inflation rate
of 2.8% over the 2013-2016 forecast period.

Retail price inflation measures the price increase of retail
goods and services. Historically retail price inflation in
Singapore has trended marginally below consumer price
inflation, averaging 1.2% per annum over 2001-2011. Initial
estimates of retail price inflation for 2012 are 1.7% with
lower price growth for non-food goods partially offsetting
rises in food prices. Over 2013-2016, retail price inflation
is expected to average approximately 1.3% per annum.
Population
In June 2012, Singapore Department of Statistics estimated
the total population of Singapore to be approximately 5.3
million. This total population figure for 2012 consists of 3.8
million Singapore ‘residents’ (either citizens or permanent
residents) and 1.5 million ‘non-residents’. ‘Non-residents’
primarily consist of expatriate workers on long-term working
visas. This segment of the population includes both skilled
professionals and unskilled workers.
For 2013-2016, we expect the total Singapore population will
grow at an average rate of 1.8% per annum, reaching around
5.7 million in 2016. The growth in ‘resident’ population
is expected to average approximately 1.3% per annum
over the forecast period, a relatively low growth rate
corresponding to Singapore’s low birth rate. Growth for
the ‘non-resident’ population is forecast to be higher than
for the ‘resident’ population, averaging around 3.0% per
annum. It is recognised that this growth rate is lower than
historical trends, and this is reflective of a moderated
economic growth outlook for Singapore relative to the
previous decade, which will allow the Government to tighten
immigration policies without impeding economic growth.
Tourism
Tourism has grown very strongly in Singapore post-2009
with average growth of 16.6% per annum over 2009-2011.
Tourism again grew strongly in 2012, with total international
visitor arrivals estimated at 14.7 million, 11.4% higher
than the number recorded in 2011. The strong growth
in international visitor arrivals has been fuelled by the
completion of a number of tourist-oriented developments,
such as Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, as
well as the growth in popularity of internationally renowned
events, examples of which are the Singapore Grand Prix
and Singapore Arts Festival.
We estimate tourists’ retail spending in Singapore for 2012
at S$7.4 billion, accounting for around 17.6% of total retail
sales. This high proportion by international standards
emphasises the importance of tourism to the overall retail
market in Singapore.
International visitor arrivals are expected to continue
growing over 2013-2016, but at a slower average rate of
5.5% per annum, as compared with the average growth
of 6.3% per annum from 2001-2012. This will translate to
tourists’ spending accounting for an increasing proportion
of the total retail sales over time, reaching 19.0% in 2016.
Retail Sales
Retail sales growth in Singapore has historically been quite
strong apart from significant downturns corresponding
to 9/11 terrorist attacks, SARS and the GFC in 2001,
2003 and 2008-09 respectively. Despite these downturns,
nominal sales growth over 2001-2011 still averaged 3.9%
per annum. The retail market bounced back strongly post2009 (after the GFC), recording a sales growth of 6.8% in
2010. In 2011, nominal retail sales continued the post-GFC
recovery, recording a growth of 7.1%. Estimates for 2012
indicate a slight moderation, with retail sales expected to
grow at 4.9% in the wake of subdued domestic economic
growth and soft global economic conditions.
In the absence of any major economic shocks, retail sales
growth is expected to grow at a healthy rate over the
forecast period, averaging 5.0% per annum over 2013-2016.
Retail Supply
We estimate the total retail net lettable area (NLA) in
Singapore was 56.7 million sq ft as at 31 December 2012.
Approximately 24.9 million sq ft (equivalent to 44.0%) is
estimated to be shopping centre floor space.
Over the course of 2012, approximately 1.1 million sq ft of
retail floor space came onstream, of which around 724,000
sq ft was shopping centre floor space. This comprised a
3.0% increase in shopping centre floor space, with the
most significant projects being JCube in Jurong East, The
Star Vista in Buona Vista, and 100 AM in Tanjong Pagar.
For 2013-2016, we expect an average annual growth rate
of 4.3% in shopping centre floor space.
2013 and 2014 are forecast to be years of particularly high
growth in shopping centre floor space, at 2.6% and 4.3%
respectively. In 2013, a number of significant projects are
scheduled for completion, including Jem located in Jurong
East, and CapitaMalls Asia Limited (CMA)/CapitaLand
Limited’s Bedok Mall, which is part of a retail-cumresidential development.
Significant projects set for completion in 2014 include
CapitaLand’s Westgate in Jurong East, and the Singapore
Sports Hub Consortium’s Sports Hub in Kallang. The most
significant development on Orchard Road in 2014 will be
the redevelopment of Hotel Phoenix. Singapore Retail Floor Space Supply1 (million sq ft)

Retail Floor Space Per Capita
Retail floor space per capita in Singapore is estimated to be
approximately 10.7 sq ft in 2012 and is expected to grow
marginally to 11.0 sq ft by 2015. This provision is relatively
low compared with other developed Asian economies such
as China (12.9 sq ft), South Korea (14.4 sq ft) and Japan
(16.6 sq ft). However, the proportion of shopping centre
floor space (44.0%) in Singapore is relatively high.

At present, CMT remains by far the largest shopping

A significant gap exists between CMT and its nearest
competitors in terms of market share, Pramerica (6.8%) and
Frasers Centrepoint (6.5%) being the closest competitors.
As a result of their scale of operations in Singapore, CMT
has a competitive advantage in achieving economies of

CBRE reported that average prime rents on Orchard Road
remained approximately S$31.60 per sq ft per month over
the first three quarters of 2012, the same as reported in 4Q
2011. However, it still represents growth of 1.7% relative
to average rents in the first three quarters of 2011. Prime
rents in the Suburban sub-market averaged S$29.75

Retail Rental & Occupancy Outlook
In the coming years, it is expected that rental growth in
the Orchard and Suburban sub-markets will be supported
by a moderated supply pipeline and growth in retail sales.
Rental data in 2012 indicates that the Orchard Road submarket has emerged from the bottom of the decline in rents
attributable to the significant increase in retail floor space
supply in 2009 and 2010. Over the next few years, it is
expected that moderate retail sales growth and a limited
schedule of forthcoming supply will lead to rental growth
of around 3.0% per annum, up from 2.6% in 2012.
Suburban
Furthermore, it is our understanding that a number of the
forthcoming shopping centre developments in the Suburban
sub-market have had strong interest and take-up from
retailers, so this influx is not expected to adversely affect
rental or occupancy rate levels.
Average occupancy rates are expected to increase in line
with rents in both sub-markets. In the Orchard Road submarket, occupancy rate is forecast to increase from 92.2%
in 2012 to 96.5% by 2015. Average occupancy rates in the
Suburban sub-market are expected to grow only slightly
from 95.3% in 2012, stabilising marginally below those on
Orchard Road, at around 95.5%.
Rental growth in the Suburban sub-market is forecast at a
similar rate around 3.0% per annum from 2013-2015, as
the increased supply in this market is set to be balanced by
the fact that the new centres are going into growth areas
which should have capacity to support the new supply.

Conclusions
The outlook for the Singapore retail sector is relatively
positive, with resilient domestic demand set to support
retail sales growth moving forward in spite of projected soft
global economic conditions. The forecast continuation of
strong growth in the number of international visitor arrivals
is expected to further support retail sales moving forward
via increasing tourist spending.
As always, the uncertain global economic outlook poses
a downside risk to the Singapore economy, and as such
actual outcomes may deviate downward from the above
forecasts subject to global economic shocks. Despite
these risks, well maintained and managed assets, which
are suitably positioned relative to their customer base, are
expected to continue to outperform the market.
Retail development in Singapore remains active, with the
market set for significant additions to the supply of shopping
centre floor space in 2013 and 2014, particularly in the
Suburban sub-market. As previously noted, this increase in
supply is not expected to put material downward pressure
on rents or occupancy rates due to the fact that the new
centres are going into growth areas and evidence of strong
take-up from retailers.
After a couple of weaker years, strong rental growth is
returning to the market. While rental growth over the next
few years is not expected to reach pre-GFC highs, solid
growth of around 3.0% per annum should be achievable
in both the Orchard Road and Suburban sub-markets.

Singapore REIT
Sector
Compression in S-REITs’ Distribution Yields
Singapore real estate investment trusts (S-REITs) found
favour with investors in 2012 as persistent negative real
interest rates drove many of them to seek comfort in stable,
higher-yielding assets. As S-REITs’ unit prices rallied during
the year, their distribution yields have compressed since the
start of the year. The FTSE ST REIT Index which measures
the performance of S-REITs rose by 36.7% compared to
the beginning of the year, outperforming the Straits Times
Index by 17.0 percentage points.
Two S-REITs (stapled with business trusts) made their
debut in 2012, bringing the number of S-REITs to 25 with a
total market capitalisation of approximately S$58.5 billion
as at end-2012. The average distribution yield of S-REITs
compressed to 5.6% as at 31 December 2012 from 7.6%
as at 30 December 2011. This was approximately 425
basis points above the Singapore Government 10-year
bond yield of 1.3% as at 31 December 2012. Compared to
other Asian REITs, S-REITs’ yield spread was the highest.

In 2012, many S-REITs took advantage of the buoyant debt
capital market to lock in long-term (more than five years)
debt at attractive rates. While commercial mortgage backed
securities as a source of funding is getting minimised, a
substantial amount of the debt raised by S-REITs during
the year has been through medium term notes.
S-REITs’ average term to expiry for debt improved from 2.7
years since 2008-09 to about 3.3 years as at 30 September
2012, according to Maybank Kim Eng Research. Total
S-REITs’ borrowings registered approximately S$24.0
billion as at end-September 2012 while the average gearing
level for the sector remained healthy at 34.8%, compared
to 40.7% at the height of the global financial crisis in
2008-2009.
To enhance the tax regime for S-REITs, the government
announced in Singapore Budget 2012 that a REIT that
makes distributions to unitholders in the form of units
can continue to enjoy tax transparency, provided certain
conditions are met. This made it more attractive for some
S-REITs to implement distribution reinvestment plans
(DRPs) as a tool to conserve some capital. Amendments
to the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited’s
Listing Manual also made DRPs easier to implement, by
doing away with the need for specific unitholders’ approval.
According to media reports in 2012, new REIT guidelines are
being studied by regulators to improve the market value and
corporate governance of REITs. This ignited considerable
debate on the merits of an externally-managed REIT model
versus the internally-managed model which is commonly
seen in the United States and Australian REIT markets.
Currently, all S-REITs are externally managed. Another idea
being explored is the introduction of tighter guidelines for
the acquisition of properties by REITs that would preclude
them from doing a deal unless it is immediately accretive
to their yield and net asset value.
Looking Forward
Interest in the S-REIT sector may remain firm in 2013,
given the uncertainties in terms of economic outlook.
Many investors continue to look for stability and defensive
earnings, against the background of a strong Singapore
dollar, low interest rate environment, and high liquidity
as global central banks continue to pump money into
economies. However, to combat inflationary pressures
which are expected to remain high in 2013, some investors
are increasingly focused on growth, with acquisitions likely
to be a key theme.
Two S-REITs conducted equity private placements in
January 2013 and some market watchers believe that more
highly-leveraged S-REITs could follow suit, especially if
their price-to-book value ratio goes beyond one.
In 2013, there may also be closer scrutiny of the corporate
governance framework of S-REITs, particularly with respect
to checks and balances such as board independence
and composition, given the revised Code of Corporate
Governance which the Monetary Authority of Singapore
issued in May 2012.

Marketing &
Promotions
Portfolio-wide Activities
In 2012, our strategic marketing initiatives remain focused
on implementing rewarding and refreshing activities to
further enhance shopping convenience and deliver endless
shopping delights.
Our three loyalty programmes, CapitaCard, CapitaVoucher
and CAPITASTAR, present shoppers with a multi-store,
multi-mall integrated rewards platform to meet the everchanging needs of savvy consumers. CapitaCard’s
membership base has seen a significant growth to over
230,000 cardmembers as at 31 December 2012. This cobrand card programme continues to retain and encourage
repeat shoppers’ spending at CMT’s malls. Card spending
for the programme saw an 18.0% year-on-year increase
to approximately S$245.0 million in 2012. This programme
not only provides cardmembers with instant cash rebates,
but also offers a host of exclusive treats, privileges and
benefits in CMT’s malls such as complimentary parking,
privileged parking as well as opportunities to earn Capita$
instant cash rebates at participating tenants’ stores.
CAPITASTAR is a card-less rewards programme that
was launched in December 2011, to reward our loyal
shoppers across 14 of CMT’s malls. The programme
allows shoppers to enjoy benefits on top of their existing
rebates from CapitaCard, whereby they can earn STAR$
with receipts from participating malls. These STAR$ can
be accumulated and redeemed for CapitaVouchers.
CAPITASTAR’s membership base has grown significantly
to over 183,000 as at 31 December 2012. CAPITASTAR
celebrated its first anniversary in December 2012 with
loads of perks and exciting programmes. Members enjoyed
double STAR$ rewards when they made purchases during
the anniversary month. In conjunction with the festive
celebrations, Santa Claus and his entourage of elves
roved around the malls during weekends in December
and gave away attractive gifts to members who spent at
the malls. In addition, shoppers met their favourite radio
deejays from Class 95FM and Y.E.S.93.3FM and had
fun with them through interactive games and activities.
Another key loyalty programme is the CapitaVoucher
which saw sales growing by approximately 19.0% yearon-year to S$33.5 million in 2012. CapitaVoucher is now
widely accepted across 14 of CMT’s malls with over 2,000
participating outlets.
To constantly remain relevant to shoppers and engage
them at all touchpoints, we introduced CMA’s first
interactive iPhone Christmas wishlist application on
30 November 2012. The application (beta version) enabled
users to browse product catalogues and get inspiration
for gift ideas. They could also form their own wishlists of
gifts they would like to receive and share the lists with their
friends. At the same time, users could also find out what
50
their friends want for Christmas. The application featured
40 exclusive mobile coupons and more than 500 gift ideas
from over 90 participating retailers across CMT’s malls.
To actively engage with online communities, Bugis+, Clarke
Quay, Funan DigitaLife Mall and JCube launched their official
presence on Facebook. Shoppers are now kept abreast
of the latest event happenings and tenants’ promotions.
Mall-centred Activities
Besides implementing our portfolio-wide marketing
activities, each CMT mall also made efforts to strengthen
its unique positioning and brand identity by creating
memorable shopping experiences for consumers through
their activities in 2012.
Bugis Junction
Fashion Obsession
Bugis Junction hosted a five-day fashion parade with
themes such as ‘Style at Work’, ‘The Glam Games’, and
‘Obsessed with Black’. The event saw models strut down
the runway decked out in street chic casual to blacktie wear from the latest Spring/Summer collections of
participating tenants. In its second year running, Bugis
Junction’s signature Converse 3D Shoe Design Contest
in April 2012 challenged aspiring designers to create a
backdrop to tell their creative story and design, and its
‘I Can Do the Catwalk’ saw its youngest five-year-old
budding model participant.
Celebrity Appearances
A popular hotbed for celebrity appearances, Bugis Junction
continued to showcase a pipeline of celebrities and
newcomers including Kai Ko from the movie ‘Apple of My
Eyes’, British singer Pixie Lott and the popular Mandopop

part of the Singapore Street Festival, where judges from
Korea and Japan flew in to find their champion for the
sport. In addition, local young talents held centre stage to
showcase their performing arts from singing to jamming
at the mall’s atrium space.
It was a star-studded launch for Bugis+ with British
boyband, The Wanted, holding their post-concert autograph
session in September 2012. Aaron Yan from the Taiwanese
boyband, Fahrenheit, joined his co-star Lara to promote their
drama ‘Alice in Wonder City’, and the popular MediaCorp
Channel 8’s SNAP television programme hosted their finale
with a red carpet event featuring several local television
artistes at Bugis+.

lucky draws with much sought after licensed merchandise.
Shopper traffic increased by about 93.9% on the day of
the event, as compared to the same day in 2011.
Annyeong Seoul
Halo 4 Exclusive Launch
In the month of September 2012, Bukit Panjang Plaza hosted
a Korean festival. This event saw the celebration of all things
Korean, featuring an eclectic mix of food and beverage,
cosmetics, apparel and K-Pop memorabilia. Programme
highlights included Korean cooking demonstration by
celebrity chef, Nicky Kim, drum and fan dance cultural
performances, taekwondo demonstrations and a fashion
parade. Shoppers who spent S$100 in the mall received a
floral designed chopstick set to bring home as a memento.
Halo 4, Microsoft’s biggest blockbuster video game title of
2012, was launched exclusively at Funan DigitaLife Mall in
November 2012. As many as 4,000 gamers started queuing
up for their pre-ordered game sets as early as 30 hours
ahead of the official launch. The day’s festivities included
a ‘Halo 4 Ultimate Deathmatch’ tournament where fans
competed in the confines of a caged arena to see who
could outlast everyone else, to emerge as Singapore’s
first ever Halo 4 champion. Shopper traffic increased by
about 21.5% on the day of event, as compared to the
same day in 2011.
Halloween Madness
Into its fourth consecutive year, Halloween Madness is
the mall’s signature family-friendly spooky event that has
grown in popularity and scale. Shoppers were treated to
spine chilling activities including a monster flash mob,
a scary family costume contest, creepy craft workshops,
trick or treat and a witch hat decoration contest. There
were also mall-wide lucky draws and crazy hourly deals
offered by tenants.

Sustainability
Environment
To ensure that our actions in operating CMT’s malls
are environmentally friendly and that we follow green
practices in the office, we have adopted an Environmental
Management System (EMS) which was certified to the ISO
14001 international standards in 2007. ISO 14001 is an
internationally recognised standard for the environmental
management of businesses. We review new or update
existing legal requirements for the EMS every quarter and
evaluate compliance annually. In 2012, we have complied
fully with the environmental laws and regulations in Singapore
and there was no environmental non-conformance by the
company.
As part of the CapitaLand Limited (CapitaLand) group,
we adhere to the group’s Green Buildings Guidelines
(GBG) which is an in-house guide developed since
2007 and is regularly reviewed to ensure continuous
improvement. We strive to implement the GBG at all
stages of a development project, from feasibility, design,
procurement and construction to operation.
The GBG includes an Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) which is carried out during the feasibility stage of
any development project. The EIA helps to identify any
environmental threats or opportunities related to the project
site and its surroundings, including aspects such as air
quality, noise, floods, biodiversity, connectivity, heritage
and resources. All significant findings of the EIA and their
cost implications then have to be tabled as part of the
investment project paper submitted to the Board of Directors
for approval. At the procurement stage, in accordance
with the GBG, all main contractors appointed in 2012
for projects that span a gross floor area (GFA) of at least
2,000 square metres, have to be ISO 14001 and OHSAS
18001 certified or they have to implement Environmental,
Health and Safety (EHS) measures on site to comply fully
with EHS legislations equivalent. The OHSAS 18001 is an
internationally recognised standard for the occupational
health and safety management of businesses.
We use an Environmental Tracking System (ETS), developed
in-house by CapitaLand, to track the monthly energy usage,
water usage, carbon dioxide emission and waste generation
for CMT’s properties. This ETS is audited annually by
CapitaLand’s Technical Services Unit.
Our long-term energy and water reduction targets (using
2008 as base year) are:
• To reduce energy and water usage by 15.0% by 2015
• To reduce energy and water usage by 20.0% by 2020
In 2012, our total energy consumption recorded 126,133
megawatt hours (MWh), compared to 124,546 MWh in
20111. We managed to reduce our energy usage per GFA
by 8.4% from 18.51 kilowatt hours per square metre per
month (kWh/m2/month) in 2011 to 16.96 kWh/m2/month
in 2012. The reduction would be higher at 17.5% if we
compare the 2012 figure against 20.56 kWh/m2/month
in 2008.
Our total water consumption stood at 1,459,286 cubic
metres (m3) in 2012, compared to 1,407,622 m3 in 20111.
Despite this, we reduced our water usage per GFA by
13.6% from 0.205 m3 per square metre per month (m3/
m2/month) in 2011 to 0.177 m3/m2/month in 2012 after
adjusting for shopper traffic count at the properties. The
reduction would be higher at 18.4% if we compare the
2012 figure against 0.217 m3/m2/month in 2008.
In terms of carbon emissions, we recorded 56,816
tonnes in 2012, compared to 55,996 tonnes in 20111. Our
carbon emissions per GFA decreased by 8.2% from 8.32
kilogrammes per square metre per month (kg/m2/month)
in 2011 to 7.64 kg/m2/month in 2012. The decrease would
be higher at 29.4% if we compare the 2012 figure against
10.81 kg/m2/month in 2008.
Green Initiatives
From January to June 2012, 14 of CMT’s malls participated
in CapitaLand’s ‘Green for Hope’ programme for a second
year to raise funds for underprivileged children. For every
kilogramme of recyclable waste collected from the properties
and tenants, CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF) donated
S$2 to charities. This initiative has also created opportunities
for us to engage our tenants to come together for more
than just business. CHF is CapitaLand’s philanthropic arm
which was established to support programmes for the
shelter, education and healthcare needs of underprivileged
children in Singapore and overseas.
In conjunction with the global ‘Earth Hour’ initiative, we
organised a ‘Bring Your Own Shopping Bag’ campaign on
31 March 2012 at 10 of CMT’s malls to encourage shoppers
to save the environment by bringing their own reusable
shopping bags. In return, the 200 shoppers who were
spotted doing so enjoyed bonus STAR$ with a minimum
purchase under CAPITASTAR loyalty programme.
1 The energy and water usage as well as carbon emission levels in 2012 were measured for 14 of CMT’s malls while the figures in 2011 and 2008 were based
on 13 and nine of CMT’s malls respectively. The measurements excluded those properties undergoing asset enhancement works and those properties which
have been in operation for less than 12 months. All data was extracted on 6 February 2013.

Sustainability
Environment
CMT’s malls marked ‘Earth Hour’ by switching off their
facade lights and non-essential lighting for extended
hours through the night, beginning at 8.30 pm on 31
March 2012. This is the fifth year that we participated in
this annual global sustainability movement to promote
awareness of energy conservation.
On 3 August 2012, the sponsor of CMT, CapitaMalls Asia
Limited, held a Green Party at Gardens by the Bay, a new
landmark overlooking the waters of Marina Bay. CMT
staff joined in the party to celebrate CMT’s green award
achievements. We showcased some of the interesting
green initiatives that have been initiated at our malls, as
part of our efforts to inculcate environmental awareness
among staff.
For the period April to December 2012, five participating
CMT malls (Bugis Junction, Bugis+, Funan DigitaLife Mall,
JCube and Junction 8) took turns to collaborate with
Coca-Cola Singapore in “A Recycle Happiness Activation”
campaign to educate shoppers on the importance of
recycling. Shoppers were encouraged to bring their empty
beverage bottles for recycling and every 10 bottles returned
earned them a Coca-Cola premium.
In November 2012, IMM Building also worked with the
National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) to set up
an exhibition at the mall to educate Shoppers on climate
change and the course of actions they can take to help save
the environment. The NCCS is a dedicated government
agency set up to coordinate Singapore’s domestic and
international policies, plans and actions on climate change.
In 2012, to improve productivity levels and allow for
paperless filing, we implemented an iPhone application
named iClock, for technicians who clocked overtime.
This application which we customised in-house, allows
the technicians to file their overtime claims easily without
the need to fill in several forms to claim reimbursement.
Green Awards Achieved To Date
To date, 10 of CMT’s malls have garnered Green Mark awards
from Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA).
The BCA Green Mark was introduced in January 2005. It
is a scheme that assesses the environmental performance
and impact of buildings and promotes energy efficiency,
water savings, a healthier indoor environment and waste
reduction.

Health and Safety
We have a duty of care to ensure occupational health and
safety of all employees and monitor our operations to
ensure safety risks are controlled.
We have adopted an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Management System which was certified to the OHSAS
18001 international standards in 2009. The OHSAS 18001
is audited by a third party accredited certification body.
Our OHS objectives are:
• Zero incidents (reportable under the Singapore Ministry
of Manpower regulations)
• All main contractors for major projects have to be OHSAS
18001 certified (or equivalent)
We complied fully with all local OHS laws and regulations in
2012. During the year, we reported zero staff work-related
permanent disability or fatality.
76
All the main contractors we appointed in 2012 were OHSAS
18001 certified. In line with CapitaLand’s policy to select
contractors and suppliers who are committed to high
environmental and occupational safety standards, all our
vendors and service providers need to be certified bizSAFE
Level 3 and above.
For CMT’s properties, we strive to mitigate key OHS hazards
in facilities, operations and contractor management. For
instance, all service providers such as cleaning companies
need to submit material safety data sheets to show that
materials used are approved by authorities for use in
Singapore. At our corporate office, OHS issues include
office ergonomics, safety issues and general employee
well-being.
At CapitaLand’s inaugural ‘Because iCare Awards for
Environment, Health & Safety’ event in September 2012,
a few of our contractors, tenants and service providers
received awards for their initiatives to enhance environmental,
health and safety features at CMT’s malls. They include
McDonald’s, NTUC Fairprice, Giant, Starbucks, G-Energy
Global Pte Ltd, Integrated Property Management Pte Ltd,
COEN and Nature’s Landscape.
McDonald’s won an award for their green shop front
design at JCube. Their green fit-out involved the use of
sustainable materials, water efficient fittings and LED
lighting which was energy-efficient. NTUC Fairprice and
Starbucks received Special Mention awards for their active
participation in recycling for CapitaLand’s ‘Green for Hope’
programme. Other Special Mention award recipients include
G-Energy Global Pte Ltd who had gone the extra mile
to help Junction 8 achieve the BCA Green Mark Platinum
award and Integrated Property Management Pte Ltd who
uses wholly recycled hygiene paper (environmentally
certified) for their contracts at our malls.
Showcase of a Green Building:
Bugis+
Bugis+ is located along Victoria Street within the Bugis
arts, culture, learning and entertainment district. The
mall achieved Green Mark Platinum award from BCA,
following the completion of a S$38.0 million asset
enhancement initiative in July 2012.
The mall’s chilled water and condenser water system
has been re-designed to better improve efficiency
and energy-efficient lights are now used in circulation
areas. Where applicable, environmentally friendly
products are used in daily maintenance and cleaning
works while electrical and water sub-meters are
installed in key locations to monitor and track their
use as well as identify wastages and leakages. To
heighten green awareness, tenants are encouraged
to use energy-efficient lights and to take part in the
mall’s recycling programme.
Examples of environmental features at Bugis+:
• Estimated energy savings: 1,245,850 kWh/year;
estimated water savings: 4,470 m3/year
• Chiller plant system efficiency of ≤0.65 kW/tonne
• Green plot ratio of 3.07 with garden space
• PUB certified water efficient building with all
sanitary and water fittings certified under the Water
Efficiency Labelling Scheme
• Sustainable operations and maintenance system
through green policies
• Engagement of tenants and public through various
green awareness programmes
• Incorporation of green leases as part of tenancy
agreements, covering fit-out requirements and
environmental management
Bugis+ achieved Green Mark Platinum award

People & Community
Human Capital
As an externally managed real estate investment trust, CMT
has no employees and is managed by CapitaMall Trust
Management Limited (CMTML), which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CapitaMalls Asia Limited (CMA). CapitaLand
Limited (CapitaLand) has a 65.46% stake in CMA.
We believe in managing our human capital in the most
effective and efficient manner. We see the infinite value in
them and recognise that it is their passion, professionalism
and commitment that can contribute to the success of
our business.
Talent Management Strategy
We have a workforce of 525 people, comprising 23
employees at CMTML level, those working at CMT’s
malls and the property management team. We are well
poised to meet the resourcing challenges to support our
business expansion. In strengthening our team, we recruit
talents at different transition points in their career path,
from fresh graduates to young, mid-career professionals
and industry veterans.
At the core of our development programme is a
systematic programme for all new hires to learn more
about our business operations, strategies, core values and
management philosophy. All employees also undergo an
annual performance review where employees can openly
discuss their performance and future aspirations with their
supervisors. They broach topics such as possible career
moves and recommended training plans.
We believe in talent cross-fertilisation and leverage on
the Asia-wide human resource platform of CMA. As part
of employees' career development, employees are given
opportunities to rotate to different malls, functions, cities
or countries within CMA’s portfolio.
Competitive Compensation & Benefits
We offer all employees comprehensive and competitive
remuneration packages. These include short-term cash
bonus programmes and long-term equity-based reward
plans such as restricted shares and performance shares
programmes. Such equity-based reward plans help to
strengthen the linkage between reward and long-term
performance, as well as to retain talent.
All employees receive staff benefits including a flexible
benefits plan and leave entitlements for maternity, paternity
and volunteer reasons. We recognise that employees have
diverse needs and a flexible benefits plan enables staff to
complement their personal medical and insurance needs
with those provided by the company. Employees can thus
customise their benefits for themselves and their families.
78
To ensure that we can continue to attract and retain talent,
we regularly engage external human resource consultants
to benchmark our compensation and benefits packages
against other peers and industries in Singapore. We also
constantly seek innovations in our compensation strategies
for staff.
Developing Our People
In line with our belief that continuous learning is a fundamental
building block of growth, we offer comprehensive training
and development programmes for employees to acquire
relevant knowledge and skills to achieve business
excellence.
In 2012, about 3.0% of our annual payroll was allocated
for programmes relating to employee learning and growth.
We already have in place training roadmaps and a wide
variety of courses, ranging from project financing and real
estate to soft skill subjects such as communications and
presentation skills. Staff have direct access to a year-long
training calendar, which comprises a series of pre-evaluated
training courses, via our in-house intranet. In addition,
we have established an online learning platform which
offers more than 200 programmes, to encourage staff to
learn continuously and offer them more choices in terms
of courses.
In 2012, staff clocked an average of 64 training hours
per employee, with 96.4% of staff attending at least one
training event. We encourage employees to upgrade
themselves by attending courses or obtain professional
qualifications relevant to their work. Employees are granted
paid examination leave for their studies. For full time staff,
examination leave is up to 10 days per calendar year.
Throughout the year, our employees also participated in
study visits to overseas malls in China, Japan and Malaysia
to network and gain insights into interesting retail concepts
outside Singapore.
For members of the senior management team with proven
track records and leadership potential, we partner with
CapitaLand Institute of Management and Business (CLIMB)
to provide leadership and management programmes to
sharpen their management, leadership and business skills.
Engaging Our People
Staff communication sessions by senior management
are conducted at least twice a year to keep staff abreast
of CMT's financial results and strategic business thrusts.
During these sessions, senior management members also
take questions from staff and seek to gather feedback
from them.
The CapitaLand and CMA intranet systems are valuable
information platforms for employees to find out the details
of CMTML’s terms and conditions of employment, benefits,
human resource policies and practices including the whistleblowing policy, as well as ethics and code of business
conduct policies.
We regularly organise recreational and team-building events
and brain-storming workshops to reinforce organisational
cohesiveness as part of our concerted efforts to engage
our workforce. In 2012, activities such as complimentary
health screenings, free flu vaccinations, beauty workshops
and health-related talks were organised to encourage a
well-balanced and healthy lifestyle among employees.
Recreational activities also included a family day and an
annual dinner and dance party in December.
We also support annual national campaigns such as the
'Eat with Your Family Day' in May by giving employees
time off to leave offices earlier to dine with their families.
To provide our employees with better work-life balance,
we have a flexible work arrangement policy which permits
flexible working hours, working from home, part-time work
arrangement or job-sharing arrangements.
Promoting Fairness and Diversity
We define our human resource policy on equal opportunities
and fair employment practices and all job applicants are
treated fairly regardless of ethnicity, age or gender. As
part of the CapitaLand’s group, we adhere to the group’s
policies on non-discriminatory employment practices.
CapitaLand has signed the Employers Pledge for Fair
Employment Practices with The Tripartite Alliance for
Fair Employment Practices1 and also upholds the spirit
of international human rights conventions, such as the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International
Labour Organisation Conventions, against discrimination
in any form and coerced labour.
In 2012, more than 67.5% of our workforce is between the
age of 30 and 50, 23.0% less than 30 years old and 9.5%
more than 50 years old. Our workforce comprises an almost
equal proportion of males and females. The company’s
female employees are well represented at the middle and
senior management level. For the past three years, more
than half of the managerial employees are female. In 2012,
over 60.0% of senior management, comprising those who
are at Vice President levels and above, are females.

Community Involvement
As suburban satellite hubs, CMT’s malls serve as channels
for us to engage local communities actively in activities
that educate and benefit them. We are also committed
to supporting non-profit, community and charitable
organisations through synergistic partnerships.
Heritage and Arts
Bugis Junction kicked off the start of year 2012 in a
partnership with National Heritage Board for ‘Bras
Basah Bugis Street Art Project’ in February. Joe Hill, an
internationally-renowned three-dimensional (3D) street artist
was on-site at Bugis Junction. He created two larger than
life artworks - an inviting rendition of the National Museum
of Singapore’s dome and a padewakang warrior ship on
the pavements of Bugis Square and Malay Street. The
artworks were on display for 10 days.
In July 2012, Bukit Panjang Plaza and Lot One Shoppers’
Mall celebrated Singapore’s colourful heritage during
‘Rediscovery-Celebrating Our Heritage’ with a lineup
of exciting exhibitions which were supported by the
National Heritage Board. At Lot One Shoppers’ Mall,
shoppers enjoyed cultural performances and interactive
activities such as batik painting workshops and wayang
kulit (shadow puppet) performance with gamelan music
ensemble. Shoppers were also invited to have a hands-on
experience at games from yesteryear as well as savour
local classic cuisines from the food fair.
At Bukit Panjang Plaza, shoppers entered a world of
gastronomy as they feasted on freshly prepared local
delicacies, and participated in Peranakan and Chinese
cooking demonstrations and talks on natural remedies
from the kitchen. The week-long event also showcased
the Delicious Heritage exhibition that traced the origins
of some of the most popular hawker food in Singapore.
Health and Well-being
IMM Building organised free Yoga sessions every
Wednesday at its garden plaza, which saw a
participation of about 300 people. Junction 8 also worked
together with Nikam Guruji Yoga Kutir to organise a twohour yoga session every Tuesday at the roof garden to
promote health and well-being among local residents.
The Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices was formed in May 2006 to promote non-discriminatory employment practices and to shift mindsets among
employers, employees and the general public towards fair employment practices for all workers in Singapore. Members include employer representatives,
union leaders and government officials.

Family-friendly Practices
As the incumbent recipients of the biennial award ‘We
Welcome Families’, IMM Building and Plaza Singapura
remain committed to go the extra mile to serve family
customers better. Both malls have family-themed shops
under one roof, interactive play zones such as IMM
Building’s seven-metre-high treehouse, dedicated nursing
rooms, washrooms equipped with baby holders and family
lounges. Plaza Singapura also ran its ‘PS BabyStar’ and
‘Best Loving Family Portrait’ contests in November 2012
where winners walked away with grand prizes such as
a pre-credited Standard Chartered e$aver Kids Savings
Account and Nestlé hampers.
Sembawang Shopping Centre also collaborated with
Sembawang Community Club to hold a ‘Baby Singapore
2012’ event to promote neighbourliness and interaction
among the participants, and bonding amongst family
members. On 22 April 2012, 200 parents and kids took
part in fringe activities such as photo shoots, family identity
contests, baby massages and yoga sessions.
The ‘We Welcome Families’ Award is a prestigious
award conferred by the Businesses for Family Council
to businesses that demonstrate the highest standards of
family-friendly business practices in Singapore.
My Schoolbag Programme
In November 2012, CMTML partnered CMA to carry out its
‘My Schoolbag’, an annual corporate social responsibility
programme which benefited 1,000 underprivileged children
in Singapore. We had identified the beneficiaries through
five Community Development Councils and invited the
children to shop for their daily and school necessities at
five participating malls located close to their homes. The
malls are Tampines Mall, JCube, Bugis+, Bukit Panjang
Plaza and Funan DigitaLife Mall.
80
The half-day programme at the malls also included a
special treat of magic show, 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse & Recycle)
skit, and a dance-and-sing-along performance. Over 500
volunteers, comprising staff and student leaders, took
part to make the event a memorable one for the children.
Fund Raising Support
As the new mall in the West this year, JCube adopted a
‘business with a heart’ approach and marked its official
opening by raising S$15,000 for a voluntary welfare
organisation, Students Care Service (SCS). The funds
were raised through a few initiatives. An amount of S$5
was donated to SCS for every photo submitted featuring a
smile in ‘Share A Smile’ initiative. All photos were collated
into a giant montage for display at JCube’s open space on
Level 5, JStage. The other initiative was an online auction
for Kai Kai & Jia Jia eco-bags which were autographed by
celebrities, Edmund Chen, Xu Bin and Kimberly Chia. The
eco-bags were on display at JStage. The mall also hosted
50 underprivileged students to a free skating session.
Programmes for Tenants
One of the ways we add value to our tenants is through
our Biz+ Series programme. In 2012, the overall Biz+
Series programme theme was ‘Think, Feel & Connect with
your Customers’. We organised 13 Biz+ Series seminars,
workshops and classes related to this theme, covering
diverse topics such as customer relationship management
in the digital era, design thinking innovation for businesses,
and the new ‘Lemon Law’ that took effect in Singapore on
1 September 2012.
We greatly value our relationships with our tenants and on
pages 99 to 101 of this report, we feature three companies
who have been our long-time supportive tenants for the
past decade.

Our Role
Our primary role as the manager of CMT (Manager) is to set
the strategic direction of CMT and make recommendations
to HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited, in
its capacity as trustee of CMT (Trustee), on the acquisition,
divestment or enhancement of the assets of CMT in
accordance with its stated investment strategy. The
research, evaluation and analysis required for this purpose
is coordinated and carried out by us as the Manager. We
are also responsible for the system of risk management
and internal controls of CMT.
As the Manager, we have general powers of management
over the assets of CMT. Our primary responsibility is to
manage the assets and liabilities of CMT for the benefit
of the unitholders of CMT (Unitholders). We do this with
a focus on generating rental income and enhancing asset
value over time so as to maximise the returns from the
investments, and ultimately the distributions and total
returns to Unitholders.
Our other functions and responsibilities as the Manager
include:
• using our best endeavours to conduct CMT’s
businesses in a proper and efficient manner and to
conduct all transactions with, or on behalf of, CMT
at arm’s length;
• preparing annual property plans for review by our
Directors, including forecasts on revenue, net income
and capital expenditure, explanations on major variances
to previous years’ numbers, written commentaries on
key issues and underlying assumptions on rental
rates, operating expenses and any other relevant
assumptions. These plans explain the performance
of CMT’s assets;
• ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations,
including the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) (Listing Manual),
the Code on Collective Investment Schemes (CIS
Code) issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(MAS) and the tax rulings issued by the Inland Revenue
Authority of Singapore on the taxation of CMT and its
Unitholders;
• attending to all regular communications with
Unitholders; and
• supervising CapitaLand Retail Management Pte Ltd
(Property Manager), which performs the day-to-day
property management functions (including leasing,
accounting, marketing, promotion, coordination and
property management) for the CMT malls namely,
Tampines Mall, Junction 8, Funan DigitaLife Mall, IMM
Building, Plaza Singapura, Bugis Junction, Sembawang
Shopping Centre, JCube, Lot One Shoppers’ Mall,
Bukit Panjang Plaza, Rivervale Mall, The Atrium@
Orchard, Clarke Quay and Bugis+, pursuant to the
master property management agreement dated
1 December 2011 which was approved by Unitholders
at the extraordinary general meeting held on 13 April
2011. With regard to Raffles City Singapore (RCS),
which is held by CMT and CapitaCommercial Trust
(CCT) in the proportions of 40.00% and 60.00%
respectively, the Property Manager holds 40.00%
interest in CapitaLand (RCS) Property Management Pte.
Ltd. which provides property management services to
RCS with CapitaLand Commercial Management Pte
Ltd, the property manager of the properties owned
by CCT, holding the other 60.00%. As a result of its
interest in CapitaLand (RCS) Property Management
Pte. Ltd., the Property Manager is able to play a key
role in directing the property management function
for RCS.
CMT, constituted as a trust, is externally managed by
the Manager and therefore has no personnel of its own.
The Manager appoints experienced and well qualified
management to run its day-to-day operations. All Directors
and employees of the Manager are remunerated by the
Manager and not CMT.
The Manager was appointed in accordance with the terms
of the Trust Deed dated 29 October 2001 as amended by
the First Supplemental Deed dated 26 December 2001,
the Second Supplemental Deed dated 28 June 2002,
the Amending and Restating Deed dated 29 April 2003,

The Trust Deed also outlines certain circumstances under
which the Manager can be removed, including by notice
in writing given by the Trustee upon the occurrence of
certain events, or by a resolution passed by a simple
majority of Unitholders present and voting at a meeting
of Unitholders duly convened and held in accordance
with the provisions of the Trust Deed.
Our Corporate Governance Culture
Strong corporate governance has always been our priority
as the Manager. We recognise that an effective corporate
governance culture is critical to our performance and,
consequently, to the success of CMT.
Further, in conjunction with the Singapore Corporate
Governance Week 2012 initiated by the SIAS, the
Manager is a signatory to the Statement of Support
Towards Excellence in Corporate Governance. With this
pledge, the Manager has, together with more than 100
other companies, made a public promise to uphold high
standards of corporate governance.
We are committed to high standards of corporate
governance and transparency in our management of
CMT and operate in the spirit of the Code of Corporate
Governance (Code) in the discharge of our responsibilities
as the Manager in our dealings with Unitholders and the
other stakeholders. The Code was revised by MAS in
May 2012 and takes effect in respect of annual reports
relating to financial years commencing from 1 November
2012. Nonetheless and in the spirit of our commitment
to high standards of corporate governance, we have, as
far as possible, endeavoured to comply with the revised
Code during FY 2012. The following paragraphs describe
our corporate governance policies and practices in 2012
as the Manager, with specific references to the Code.
They encompass proactive measures adopted by us for
avoiding situations of conflict and potential conflicts of
interest, including prioritising the interests of Unitholders
over the Manager’s and ensuring that applicable laws
and regulations are complied with, so that Unitholders’
interests are best served at all times. For ease of reference,
the relevant provisions of the Code under discussion are
identified in italics.

IR Magazine South East Asia Awards 2012.
(A) Board Matters
The Board’s Conduct of Affairs
Principle 1:
Every company should be headed by an effective
Board to lead and control the company. The Board
is collectively responsible for the long-term success
of the company. The Board works with Management
to achieve this objective and Management remains
accountable to the Board.
The Board of Directors of the Manager (Board) is
responsible for managing and directing the Manager, in
furtherance of the Manager’s primary responsibility to
manage the assets and liabilities of CMT for the benefit
of Unitholders. Each Director must act honestly, with due
care and diligence. Decisions are taken objectively in the
interests of CMT. The Manager has adopted guidelines,
details of which are set out on pages 94 to 95 for Interested
Person Transactions (as defined below) and dealing with
conflicts of interest.
The Board provides leadership to the Manager, sets
strategic directions and oversees the competent
management of CMT, including the provision of necessary
financial and human resources to meet its objectives. The
Board establishes goals for management and monitors
the achievement of these goals. It ensures that proper
and effective controls are in place to assess and manage
business risks and compliance with requirements under
the Listing Manual, the Property Funds Appendix, as well as
any other applicable guidelines prescribed by the SGX-ST,
the MAS or other relevant authority, and applicable laws.
It also sets the disclosure and transparency standards
for CMT and ensures that obligations to Unitholders and
other stakeholders are understood and met.
The Board meets regularly to discuss and review the
Manager’s key activities, including its business strategies
and policies for CMT. Board meetings are scheduled
in advance and are held at least once every quarter to
deliberate on the strategy of CMT, including any significant
acquisitions and disposals, review the annual budget,
review the performance of CMT’s businesses, review
the financial performance of the Manager and CMT and
approve the release of the quarterly and full-year results.
Additional Board meetings are held, where necessary, to
consider significant transactions or issues. The Articles
of Association of the Manager permit Board meetings to
be held by way of teleconference and videoconference.
In the discharge of its functions, the Board is supported by
an Audit Committee that provides independent oversight
of the Manager, and which also serves to ensure that
there are appropriate checks and balances. The Board
is also supported by a Corporate Disclosure Committee,
Executive Committee and Investment Committee. Each
of these Board committees operates under delegated
authority from the Board. Other committees may be
formed as dictated by business imperatives and/or to
promote operational efficiency. The number of Board
and Board committee meetings held in the year, as well
as the attendance of their membership, are set out on
page 86. This also reflects each Board member’s additional
responsibilities and special focus on the respective Board
committees. Four Board meetings were held in 2012.
Information on the Audit Committee can be found in the
section ‘Audit Committee’ below.
The Corporate Disclosure Committee reviews
corporate disclosure matters relating to CMT, including
announcements to the SGX-ST via SGXNET, and pursues
best practices in terms of transparency.
The Executive Committee oversees the day-to-day
activities of the Manager on behalf of the Board. The
principle responsibilities of the Executive Committee
under its terms of reference include the following:
• approving or making recommendations to the Board
on financing offers and banking facilities;
• approving or making recommendations to the Board
on write-offs of investments;
• approving specific budgets for capital expenditure on
development projects, acquisitions and enhancements/
upgrading of properties;
• reviewing management reports and operating budgets;
• awarding contracts for development projects;
• recommending changes to the financial limits for
investment;
• reporting to the Board on decisions made by the
Executive Committee; and
• performing such other functions as varied or delegated
by the Board.
The members of the Executive Committee also meet
informally during the course of the year.
The Investment Committee reviews and approves new
investments and divestments by CMT.
The Board has adopted a set of internal controls which sets
out approval limits for, amongst others, capital expenditure,
new investments and divestments, bank borrowings
and minimum signatory requirements for cheques at the
Board level. Apart from matters that specifically require
the Board’s approval – such as the issue of new Units,
income distributions and other returns to Unitholders – the
Board, while approving certain transactions exceeding
certain threshold limits, delegates authority for transactions
below those limits to Board committees and management.
Appropriate delegation of authority and approval sublimits are also provided at management level to facilitate
operational efficiency.
The Manager issues formal letters to newly-appointed
Directors setting out various information including their
duties and obligations as Directors upon their appointment.
Newly appointed Directors are briefed on the business
activities of CMT, its strategic directions and policies,
the regulatory environment in which CMT operates,
the Manager’s corporate governance practices, and
their statutory and other duties and responsibilities as
Directors. Directors are routinely updated on developments
and changes in the operating environment, including
revisions to accounting standards and changes to laws and
regulations affecting the Manager and/or CMT. Directors
are also encouraged to participate in industry conferences,
seminars and training programmes in connection with
their duties. Materials on changes to salient laws and
regulations applicable to CMT or the Manager are also
provided to the Directors.

Sustainability
Board Composition and Guidance
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
There should be a strong and independent element
on the Board, which is able to exercise objective
judgement on corporate affairs independently, in
particular, from Management and 10% shareholders.
No individual or small group of individuals should be
allowed to dominate the Board’s decision making.
There should be a clear division of responsibilities
between the leadership of the Board and the executives
responsible for managing the company’s business.
No one individual should represent a considerable
concentration of power.
Principle 2:
As of 5 March 2013, the Board comprises 11 Directors,
of whom six are Independent Non-Executive Directors.
A Director is considered independent if he has no
relationship with the Manager, its related corporations,
its shareholders who hold 10% or more of the voting
shares in the Manager, Unitholders who hold 10% or
more of the units in issue of CMT or its officers that could
interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the
exercise of the Director’s independent business judgment
in the best interests of CMT. The Board determined that
Mr Fong Kwok Jen, Mr Gay Chee Cheong, Mr Lee Khai
Fatt, Kyle, Maj-Gen (NS) Ng Chee Khern, Mr Richard R.
Magnus and Mr Teoh Leong Kay, Danny are considered
to be Independent Directors under the Code.
Non-Executive Directors actively participate in setting and
developing strategies and goals for management, and
reviewing and assessing management’s performance. This
enables management to benefit from their external and
diverse perspectives on issues that are brought before the
Board. It also enables the Board to interact and work with
management through a healthy exchange of ideas and
views to help shape the strategic process. Coupled with
a clear separation of the roles of the Chairman and the
Chief Executive Officer, this provides a healthy, professional
relationship between the Board and management with
clarity of roles and robust deliberation on the business
activities of CMT.
Principle 3:
The roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer
are separate and are held by two different persons.
This is to ensure an appropriate balance of power,
increased accountability and greater capacity of the
Board for independent decision making. The division
of responsibilities between the Chairman and the Chief
Executive Officer facilitates effective oversight and a
clear segregation of duties. The Chairman and the Chief
Executive Officer are not immediate family members.
The Chairman leads the Board to ensure the effectiveness
on all aspects of its role and sets its agenda. He ensures
that the members of the Board receive accurate, clear
and timely information, facilitates the contribution of NonExecutive Directors, encourages constructive relations
between Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors
and management, ensures effective communication with
Unitholders and promotes a high standard of corporate
governance.
The Chairman also ensures that the Board works together
with management with integrity, competency and moral
authority, and that the Board constructively engages
management on strategy, business operations, enterprise
risk and other plans.
The Chief Executive Officer is a Board member and has
full executive responsibilities over the business directions
and operational decisions of managing CMT.
The composition of the Board is reviewed regularly to
ensure that the Board has the appropriate size and mix of
expertise and experience, and comprises persons who,
as a group, provide the necessary core competencies,
taking into consideration the nature and scope of CMT’s
operations. The profiles of the Directors are set out on
pages 59 to 69.
84
Board Membership
Principle 4:
There should be a formal and transparent process
for the appointment and re-appointment of directors
to the Board.
Board Performance
Principle 5:
There should be a formal annual assessment of the
effectiveness of the Board as a whole and its board
committees and the contribution by each director to
the effectiveness of the Board.
As the Manager is not itself a listed entity, the Manager
does not consider it necessary for the Board to establish
a nominating committee. It believes that the performance
of the Manager, and hence, its Board, is reflected in the
long-term success of CMT. Thus, the Board performs the
functions that such a committee would otherwise perform,
namely, it administers nominations to the Board, reviews
the structure, size and composition of the Board, and
reviews the independence of Board members. Directors
of the Manager are not subject to periodic retirement by
rotation.
Under the Code, the composition of the Board, including
the selection of candidates for new appointments to
the Board as part of the Board’s renewal process, is
determined using the following principles:
• the Board should comprise Directors with a broad
range of commercial experience, including expertise
in funds management, the property industry and in
the banking and legal fields; and
• at least one-third of the Board should comprise
Independent Directors. Where, among other things,
the Chairman of the Board is not an Independent
Director, at least half of the Board should comprise
Independent Directors.
Reviews of Board performance as appropriate are informal.
The Manager believes that collective Board performance
and that of individual Board members are better reflected
in, and evidenced by, its and their proper guidance, diligent
oversight and able leadership, and the support that it lends
to management in steering CMT in the appropriate direction,
and the long-term performance of CMT whether under
favourable or challenging market conditions, safeguarding
the interests of CMT and maximising Unitholders’ value.
Renewals or replacement of Board members do not
necessarily reflect their contributions to date, but may be
driven by the need to position and shape the Board in line
with the medium-term needs of CMT and its businesses.
Contributions by an individual Board member can also take
other forms, including providing objective perspectives on
issues, facilitating business opportunities and strategic
relationships, and accessibility to management outside of
a formal environment of Board and/or Board committee
meetings.
In the Manager’s opinion, the limit on the number of listed
company directorships that an individual may hold should
be considered on a case-by-case basis, as a person’s
available time and attention may be affected by many
different factors. A Director with multiple directorships is
expected to ensure that sufficient attention is given to the
affairs of the Manager and CMT. The Manager believes
that each individual Director is best placed to determine
and ensure that he is able to devote sufficient time and
attention to discharge his duties and responsibilities
as a director of the Manager, bearing in mind his other
commitments.
The selection of candidates is evaluated taking into account
various factors including the current and mid-term needs
and goals of CMT, as well as the relevant expertise of the
candidates and their potential contributions. Candidates
may be put forward or sought through contacts and
recommendations.

Access to Information
Principle 6:
In order to fulfil their responsibilities, directors should
be provided with complete, adequate and timely
information prior to board meetings and on an ongoing basis so as to enable them to make informed
decisions to discharge their duties and responsibilities.
Accountability
Principle 10:
The Board should present a balanced and
understandable assessment of the company’s
performance, position and prospects.
Management provides the Board with complete and
adequate information in a timely manner. This is done
through regular updates on financial results, market trends
and business developments. Changes to regulations,
policies and accounting standards are also monitored
closely.
To keep pace with regulatory changes, where these
changes have an important and significant bearing on CMT
and its disclosure obligations, the Directors are briefed
by management during Board meetings, at specially
convened sessions or via circulation of Board papers.
Information provided to the Board include explanatory
background information relating to matters to be brought
before the Board, budgets, forecasts and management
accounts. In relation to budgets, any material variance
between projections and actual results are disclosed
and explained.
The Company Secretary of the Manager works with
the Chairman and management to ensure that Board
papers and agenda are provided to each Director in
advance of Board meetings so that the Directors can
familiarise themselves with the matters prior to the Board
meetings. Senior executives who can provide additional
insights into matters to be discussed are requested to
also attend the Board meetings so as to be at hand
to provide clarifications and/or additional information.
Board meetings are usually half-day affairs and include
presentations by senior executives, external consultants
and experts on strategic issues relating to specific
business areas.
The Board has separate and independent access to
the Manager’s senior management and the Company
Secretary, and vice versa. The Company Secretary will
provide assistance to the Board and is also responsible
for assisting the Chairman in ensuring adherence to
Board procedures and compliance with applicable laws
and regulations. Under the direction of the Chairman, the
Company Secretary’s responsibilities include ensuring
good information flows within the Board and its committees
and between senior management and Non-Executive
Directors, as well as facilitating orientation of new Directors
and assisting with the professional development of
Directors as required. The Company Secretary attends
Board meetings and Board committee meetings to take
minutes.
Where necessary, the Manager will, upon the request of
Directors (whether as a group or individually), provide them
with independent professional advice, at the Manager’s
expense, to enable them to discharge their duties. The
Company Secretary assists the Directors in obtaining
such advice.
The Manager has implemented quarterly financial reporting
for CMT since inception. Financial results and other
price sensitive public announcements are presented in
a balanced and understandable assessment of CMT’s
performance, position and prospects. The Manager also
provides the Directors with management accounts and
such explanation and information on a monthly basis and
as the Board may require from time to time, to enable
Directors to keep abreast, and to make a balanced and
informed assessment, of CMT’s financial performance,
position and prospects.
The Audit Committee would also usually meet the external
auditors separately at least twice a year without the
presence of the Chief Executive Officer and senior
management in order to have unfettered access to any
information that it may require.
87
Sustainability
(B) Remuneration Matters
Procedures for Developing Remuneration
Policies
Principle 7:
There should be a formal and transparent procedure
for developing policy on executive remuneration and
for fixing the remuneration packages of individual
directors. No director should be involved in deciding
his own remuneration.
Level and Mix of Remuneration
Principle 8:
The level and structure of remuneration should be
aligned with the long-term interest and risk policies
of the company, and should be appropriate to attract,
retain and motivate (a) the directors to provide good
stewardship of the company, and (b) key management
personnel to successfully manage the company.
However, companies should avoid paying more than
is necessary for this purpose.
Disclosure on Remuneration
Principle 9:
Every company should provide clear disclosure of its
remuneration policies, level and mix of remuneration,
and the procedure for setting remuneration, in the
company’s Annual Report. It should provide disclosure in
relation to its remuneration policies to enable investors
to understand the link between remuneration paid
to directors and key management personnel, and
performance.
88
The remuneration of Directors and staff of the Manager
is paid by the Manager, and not by CMT. The Board
has carefully considered the remuneration policies and
practices of its holding company, CapitaMalls Asia Limited
(CMA), and believes that such policies and practices will
provide the Manager with a transparent and adequate
remuneration policy. CMA has a remuneration committee
that determines and recommends to the CMA board
of directors the framework of remuneration, terms of
engagement, compensation and benefits for senior
executives of CMA and its subsidiaries, which include
the Chief Executive Officer and management.
The remuneration of Directors for FY 2012 is shown in the
table on page 89. The Chief Executive Officer does not
receive Directors’ fees. Non-Executive Directors have no
service contracts with the Manager. They receive Directors’
fees which are payable by way of cash and units in CMT
(Units). The Manager believes that the payment of a
portion of the Directors’ fees in Units will serve to align
the interests of the Directors with that of Unitholders and
CMT’s long-term growth and value. Such Directors’ fees
comprise a basic retainer fee as a Director, an additional
fee for serving on any of the Board committees and an
attendance fee for participation in meetings of the Board
and any of the Board committees, project meetings and
verification meetings. In determining the quantum of such
fees, factors such as frequency of meetings, time spent
and responsibilities of Directors are taken into account. The
Chairman and members of the Audit Committee receive
additional fees to take into account the nature of their
responsibilities and the greater frequency of meetings.

(C) Accountability And Audit
Audit Committee
Principle 12:
The Board should establish an Audit Committee with
written terms of reference which clearly set out its
authority and duties.
The Audit Committee is established by the Board from
among the Directors of the Manager and comprises three
members, all non-executive, all of whom are independent.
The Manager is of the view that the Audit Committee
members have the relevant expertise to discharge
the functions of an Audit Committee. The principal
responsibilities of the Audit Committee under its terms
of reference include the following:
• monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the
Manager’s system of risk management and internal
controls (including financial, operational and compliance
controls and risk management policies and systems)
through reviewing internal and external audit reports
to ensure that where deficiencies in internal controls
have been identified, appropriate and prompt remedial
action is taken by management;
• reviewing the quality and reliability of information
prepared for inclusion in the financial reports and
approving the financial statements and the audit report
before recommending to the Board for approval;
• reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the
internal audit function;
• monitoring the procedures established to regulate
Interested Person Transactions (as defined below),
including ensuring compliance with Chapter 9 of the
Listing Manual on interested person transactions,
transactions between CMT and an ‘interested person’,
and the provisions of Appendix 6 of the CIS Code
(Property Funds Appendix) relating to transactions
between CMT and an ‘interested party’;
• reviewing the appointment and re-appointment of
external auditors (including remuneration and terms of
engagement) before recommending them to the Board
for recommendation to Unitholders at each annual
general meeting and reviewing the adequacy of existing
audits in respect of cost, scope and performance;
• reviewing the scope and results of the audit and its cost
effectiveness, and the independence and objectivity of
the external auditors and non-audit services provided
by the external auditors and confirming that they
would not, in the Audit Committee’s opinion, impair
the independence of the external auditors; and

• monitoring the procedures in place to ensure
compliance with applicable legislation, the Listing
Manual and the Property Funds Appendix.
The Audit Committee is authorised to investigate any
matter within its terms of reference. The Audit Committee
has full access to and co-operation of management and
the internal auditors and has full discretion to invite any
executive officers and employees to attend its meetings.
The internal auditors and CMT’s external auditors have
unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. Reasonable
resources have been made available to the Audit Committee
to enable it to discharge its duties.
The Audit Committee meets CMT’s external auditors,
and with the internal auditors, without the presence of
management, at least twice annually. In its review of
the audited financial statements for FY 2012, the Audit
Committee discussed with management and external
auditors the accounting principles that were applied.
Based on the review and discussions with management
and the external auditors, the Audit Committee is of the
view that the financial statements are fairly presented,
and conform to generally accepted accounting principles
in all material aspects. The Audit Committee has also
conducted a review of all non-audit services provided
by the external auditors during the financial year and is
satisfied that the nature and extent of such services will
not prejudice the independence and objectivity of the
external auditors. The aggregate amount of audit fees
paid and payable to the external auditors for FY 2012 was
S$373,540, of which audit fees amounted to S$362,540
and non-audit fees amounted to S$11,000.
Management closely monitors changes to accounting
standards and other similar issues which may potentially
have an impact on financial statements, and provides
the Audit Committee with relevant briefings and updates
during quarterly Audit Committee meetings, at specially
convened sessions conducted by professionals or via
circulation of Audit Committee papers.
Audit Committee meetings are generally held after the
end of every quarter of each financial year. Five Audit
Committee meetings were held during 2012.
The Manager confirms, on behalf of CMT, that CMT
complies with Rule 712 and Rule 715 of the Listing Manual.
Risk Management and Internal Controls
Principle 11:
The Board is responsible for the governance of risk.
The Board should ensure that Management maintains
a sound system of risk management and internal
controls to safeguard shareholders’ interests and the
company’s assets, and should determine the nature
and extent of the significant risks which the Board
is willing to take in achieving its strategic objectives.
Internal Audit
Principle 13:
The company should establish an effective internal
audit function that is adequately resourced and
independent of the activities it audits.
Effective risk management is a fundamental part of CMT’s
business strategy. Recognising and managing risk is
central to CMT’s businesses and in protecting Unitholders’
interests and value. CMT operates within overall guidelines
and specific parameters set by the Board. Each transaction
is comprehensively analysed to understand the risks
involved. Responsibility for managing risk lies initially with
the business unit concerned, working within the overall
strategy outlined by the Board.
The Manager’s focus on risk management recognises that
risk management is, prima facie, an issue for management.
The risk management framework supports this focus but
provides a structured context for management to undertake
a review of the past performance of, and to profile the
current and future risks facing, its areas of responsibility.
This risk information is consolidated and used as key
input into the corporate strategy sessions attended by
management and the Property Manager. Such sessions
are held regularly to review CMT’s strategic direction in
detail, and include specific focus on the identification of
key businesses and financial risks which could prevent
CMT from achieving its objectives. Management is then
required to ensure that appropriate controls are in place
to effectively manage those risks, and such risks and
controls are monitored by the Board on a regular basis.
The internal audit plan is developed in conjunction with
the risk management programme and is focused on
ensuring the operation of internal controls and assessing
the effectiveness and efficiency of the control environment.
The Manager has determined that significant risk for CMT
will most likely arise when making property investment
decisions. Accordingly, the Manager has established
procedures to be followed when making such decisions.
In accordance with these procedures, the Board requires
comprehensive due diligence to be carried out in relation
to any proposed investment and a suitable determination is
made as to whether the anticipated return on the proposed
investment is appropriate, having regard to the level of risk.
In addition, the Board requires that each major proposal
submitted to the Board for decision is accompanied by
a comprehensive risk assessment.
The Board usually meets quarterly, or more often if
necessary, to review the financial performance of the
Manager and CMT against a previously approved budget.
The Board also reviews the risks to the assets of CMT
and acts upon any comments by the auditors of CMT.
In assessing business risk, the Board considers the
economic environment and the property industry risk. The
Board and its Investment Committee review and approve
all investment decisions. Management meets regularly
to review the operations of the Manager and CMT and
discuss continuous disclosure issues.
The Manager has an established risk identification and
management framework for CMT and its subsidiaries
(CMT Group). The Manager proactively identifies and
addresses risks in the CMT Group. The ownership of these
risks lies with the Chief Executive Officer and function
heads of the Manager with stewardship residing with the
Board. The Audit Committee assists the Board to oversee
management in the formulation, updating and maintenance
of an adequate and effective risk management framework
while the Board reviews the adequacy and effectiveness
of the system of risk management and internal controls.
The Manager maintains a risk register which identifies
the material risks facing the CMT Group and the internal
controls in place to manage or mitigate those risks. The
risk register is reviewed and updated regularly by the Chief
Executive Officer and function heads of the Manager and
is also reviewed annually by the Audit Committee and the
Board. The Audit Committee will also review the approach
taken in identifying and assessing risks and internal
controls in the risk register. Internal and external auditors
conduct audits that involve testing the effectiveness of
the material internal control systems in the CMT Group
including testing, where practical, material internal controls
in areas managed by external service providers. Any
material non-compliance or lapses in internal controls
together with proposed corrective measures by internal
and external auditors are reported to the Audit Committee.
The effectiveness of the measures taken by the Manager in
response to the issues noted by the internal and external
auditors of the Manager is also reviewed by the Audit
Committee. The system of risk management and internal
controls is continually being refined by the Manager, the
Audit Committee and the Board.
91
Sustainability
The Board has also received assurance from the Chief
Executive Officer and Head of Finance of the Manager that:
(a)the financial records of the CMT Group have been
properly maintained and the financial statements give
a true and fair view of the CMT Group’s operations
and finances; and
(b)the risk management and internal control systems in
place within the CMT Group are adequate and effective
in addressing the material risks in the CMT Group in
its current business environment including material
financial, operational, compliance and information
technology risks.
Based on the framework established and the reviews
conducted by the internal and external auditors of the
Manager, the Board is of the opinion, with the concurrence
of the Audit Committee and the assurance from the Chief
Executive Officer and the Head of Finance of the Manager,
that the system of risk management and internal controls
in place within the CMT Group are adequate and effective
in addressing the material risks in the CMT Group in its
current business environment including material financial,
operational, compliance and information technology risks.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Head of Finance of
the Manager have obtained similar assurances from the
function heads of the Manager.
The system of risk management and internal controls
established by the Manager provides reasonable, but
not absolute, assurance that the CMT Group will not be
significantly affected by any event that can be reasonably
foreseen as it strives to achieve its business objectives.
However, the Board also notes that no system of risk
management and internal controls can provide absolute
assurance in this regard, or absolute assurance against
poor judgement in decision making, human error, losses,
fraud or other irregularities.
The Manager has in place an internal audit function
supported by CMA’s Internal Audit Department (CMA
IA) which reports directly to the Audit Committee and
administratively to the Chief Executive Officer.
To ensure that the internal audits are performed effectively,
CMA IA recruits and employs suitably qualified professional
staff with the requisite skill sets and experience.
CMA IA provides training and development opportunities
for its staff to ensure their technical knowledge and skill
sets remain current and relevant.
92
The Audit Committee reviews the internal audit reports
and activities on an on-going basis. The Audit Committee
also reviews and approves the annual internal audit plan
with respect to CMT. The Audit Committee is of the view
that the internal audit department is adequately resourced
to perform its functions and has, to the best of its ability,
maintained its independence from the activities that it audits.
(D) Unitholder Rights and
Responsibilities
Shareholder Rights
Principle 14:
Companies should treat all shareholders fairly and
equitably, and should recognise, protect and facilitate
the exercise of shareholders’ rights, and continually
review and update such governance arrangements.
Communication with Shareholders
Principle 15:
Companies should actively engage their shareholders
and put in place an investor relations policy to
promote regular, effective and fair communication
with shareholders.
Conduct of Shareholder Meetings
Principle 16:
Companies should encourage greater shareholder
participation at general meetings of shareholders, and
allow shareholders the opportunity to communicate
their views on various matters affecting the company.
The Listing Manual requires that a listed entity disclose to
the market matters that could, or might be expected to,
have a material effect on the price of the entity’s securities.
In line with CMT’s disclosure obligations, the Board’s
policy is to inform Unitholders, in a timely manner, of all
major developments that impact CMT. During the year,
a continuous disclosure process was in place to ensure
that compliance with such obligations was constantly
adhered to.
CMT believes in regular, effective, unbiased and
transparent communication with Unitholders. The Manager
communicates information on CMT to Unitholders and
the investment community through announcements
that are released to the SGX-ST via SGXNET. Such
announcements include the quarterly and full-year
results, material transactions and other developments
relating to the CMT Group requiring disclosure under
the corporate disclosure policy of the SGX-ST.
Our Investor Relations and Communications team actively
engages our Unitholders, analysts, fund managers and
the media via:
• media and analysts’ briefings (with ‘LIVE’ webcast
available for viewing on CMT’s website);
• one-on-one/group meetings or conference calls, investor
luncheons, local/overseas roadshows and conferences;
• annual reports;
• press releases on major developments of CMT;
• notices of, and explanatory memoranda for, annual
general meetings (AGMs) and extraordinary general
meetings (EGMs); and
• CMT’s website at www.capitamall.com (an email
alert option is available to subscribers who wish to
be notified of newly posted announcements, press
releases, presentations and publications). During the
‘LIVE’ webcasts of media and analysts’ briefings,
viewers are also given the opportunity to send in
their queries online. The queries received are usually
responded to by the Manager during the webcast’s
question and answer segment, time permitting. The
Manager will then separately address the queries not
addressed during the webcast.
As part of the Manager’s continuous efforts to reach out
to retail investors, the Manager participated in the SIAS’
Corporate Profile & Investment Seminar in March 2012
and the SIAS’ Singapore Investment Week in August 2012.
The events provided opportunities for retail participants to
interact and engage with senior management and better
understand the Manager’s growth strategies for CMT.
CMT is the only Singapore REIT included in the Straits
Times Index (STI), the primary Singapore equity market
barometer. It is also included in other key indices such
as the FTSE4Good Global Index, FTSE/ASEAN Index,

international fund managers as performance benchmarks
in the selection and monitoring of investments.
With a majority of Units held by institutional investors,
the Manager considers meetings with local and foreign
fund managers an integral part of investor relations.
During the year under review, the Manager met with
institutional investors from Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan,
the United Kingdom, the United States, various European
countries and Australia. These meetings and roadshows
with investors enabled the Manager to update potential and
current Unitholders on CMT’s significant developments and
its medium- to long-term strategies. CMT also participated
in various local and overseas conferences as part of its
efforts to build interest in the Singapore REIT market.
The Manager will continue to pursue opportunities to
educate and keep retail investors informed of the latest
developments in the Singapore REIT industry, through
relevant seminars and conferences.
CMT’s AGM was held on 12 April 2012 which allowed
Unitholders a forum to communicate their views and
interact with members of the Board and the Manager’s
senior management.
As part of the Manager’s proactive corporate governance
approach, the Manager has adopted a formal investor
relations policy to ensure that Unitholders and the
investment community are provided with pertinent and
timely information about the CMT Group, to enable
Unitholders to exercise their rights in an informed manner
and to allow Unitholders and the investment community
to engage actively with CMT and the Manager. This policy
has been approved by the Board and can be accessed
on CMT’s website under the ‘Investor Relations’ section.
Unitholders and potential stakeholders also have 24-hour
access to CMT’s website for information on CMT’s major
developments, property descriptions, announcements
and other corporate information.
CMT’s unit price information (20 minutes lag-time) is also
made available on the website. In addition, the public can
pose questions via a dedicated ‘Ask Us’ email address, and
have their queries addressed accordingly. Also available
on the website is an archive of CMT’s announcements,
press releases, annual reports and operational details. The
latest information is posted on the website as soon as it
is released to the SGX-ST via SGXNET and the media.
93
Sustainability
The Manager supports the principle of encouraging
effective Unitholder participation and voting at general
meetings. All Unitholders are sent a copy of the CMT
Annual Report prior to the AGM. As and when an EGM
is to be held, each Unitholder is sent a copy of a circular
which contains details of the matters to be proposed for
Unitholders’ consideration and approval. Notices for the
general meetings of Unitholders setting out all items of
business to be transacted at the general meeting, are
also announced on SGXNET. Members of the Board, the
Manager’s senior management and the external auditors
of CMT are in attendance at such general meetings, and
Unitholders are given the opportunity to air their views
and ask questions regarding the matters to be tabled
at the general meetings. Resolutions put to the general
meeting are separate unless they are interdependent
and linked, and the reasons and material implications
are explained. Voting at general meetings is conducted
by way of a poll. The chairman of the meeting, with
the assistance of our staff and service providers, will
brief Unitholders to familiarise them with the detailed
procedures involved in conducting a poll, and the result
of the poll will be announced after the general meeting
via SGXNET. Minutes of general meeting will be made
available to Unitholders at their request. A Unitholder is
allowed to appoint one or two proxies to attend and vote
at the general meetings in his/her stead.
(E) Additional Information
Dealings with Interested Persons
Review Procedures for Interested Person Transactions
In general, the Manager has established internal control
procedures to ensure that all future transactions involving
the Trustee and a related party of the Manager (Interested
Person Transactions) are undertaken on an arm’s length
basis and on normal commercial terms, which are generally
no more favourable than those extended to unrelated
third parties. In respect of such transactions, the Manager
would have to demonstrate to the Audit Committee that
the transactions are undertaken on normal commercial
terms which may include obtaining (where practicable)
quotations from parties unrelated to the Manager,
or obtaining valuations from independent valuers (in
accordance with the Property Funds Appendix).
In addition, the following procedures are generally followed:
• transactions (either individually or as part of a series
or if aggregated with other transactions involving the
same interested person during the same financial year)
equal to or exceeding S$100,000 in value, but below
3.0% of CMT’s net tangible assets, will be subject to
review and approval by the Audit Committee;
94
• transactions (either individually or as part of a series
or if aggregated with other transactions involving the
same interested person during the same financial year)
equal to or exceeding 3.0%, but below 5.0% of CMT’s
net tangible assets, will be subject to the review and
approval of the Audit Committee;
• transactions (either individually or as part of a series or
if aggregated with other transactions involving the same
interested person during the same financial year) equal to
or exceeding 5.0% of CMT’s net tangible assets will be
reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee which
may as it deems fit request advice on the transaction from
independent sources or advisors, including the obtaining
of valuations from professional valuers. Further, under the
Listing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix, such
transactions would have to be approved by Unitholders
at a meeting of Unitholders; and
• the Audit Committee’s approval shall only be given
if the transactions are on arm’s length commercial
terms and consistent with similar types of transactions
undertaken by the Trustee with third parties which are
unrelated to the Manager.
Where the Trustee enters into transactions for and on
behalf of CMT with an interested person of the Manager,
the Trustee is required to ensure that such transactions
are conducted on normal commercial terms and are not
prejudicial to the interests of CMT and Unitholders, and
in accordance with the applicable requirements of the
Listing Manual and/or the Property Funds Appendix.
Further, the Trustee has the ultimate discretion under
the Trust Deed to decide whether or not to enter into an
Interested Person Transaction. If the Trustee is to enter into
an Interested Person Transaction, the Trustee will review
such transaction to ensure that it complies with applicable
requirements under the Listing Manual, the Property Funds
Appendix (in each case, as may be amended from time
to time) as well as any other applicable guidelines which
may from time to time be prescribed by the SGX-ST, the
MAS or other relevant authority.
Role of the Audit Committee for Interested Person
Transactions
The Manager’s internal control procedures are intended to
ensure that Interested Person Transactions are conducted
at arm’s length and on normal commercial terms, and are
not prejudicial to Unitholders’ interests. The Manager
maintains a register to record all Interested Person
Transactions which are entered into by CMT (and the
basis, including the quotations obtained to support such
basis, on which they are entered into). All Interested Person
Transactions are subject to regular periodic reviews by
the Audit Committee, which in turn obtain advice from
CMA IA, to ascertain that the guidelines and procedures
established to monitor Interested Person Transactions,
including the relevant provisions of the Listing Manual
and the Property Funds Appendix, as well as any other
guidelines which may from time to time be prescribed by
the SGX-ST, the MAS or other relevant authority, have been
complied with. The review includes an examination of the
nature of the transaction and its supporting documents
or such other information deemed necessary by the
Audit Committee. If a member of the Audit Committee
has an interest in a transaction, he is to abstain from
participating in the review and approval process in relation
to that transaction. In addition, the Trustee also reviews
such audit reports to ascertain that the Property Funds
Appendix have been complied with.
Details of all Interested Person Transactions (equal to
or exceeding S$100,000 each in value) entered into by
CMT during the financial year are disclosed on page 217.
Dealing with Conflicts of Interest
The following principles and procedures have been
established to deal with potential conflicts of interest
which the Manager (including its Directors, executive
officers and employees) may encounter in managing CMT:
• the Manager will be a dedicated manager to CMT and
will not manage any other REIT or be involved in any
other real property business;
• all executive officers of the Manager will be employed
by the Manager;
• all resolutions at meetings of the Board in relation
to matters concerning CMT must be decided by a
majority vote of the Directors, including at least one
Independent Director;
• in respect of matters in which CapitaLand Limited
(CapitaLand) and/or its subsidiaries (including
CMA) have an interest, whether direct or indirect,
any nominees appointed by CapitaLand and/or its
subsidiaries (including CMA) to the Board will abstain
from voting;
• if the Manager is required to decide whether or not
to take any action against any person in relation to
any breach of any agreement entered into by the
Trustee for and on behalf of CMT with an affiliate of
the Manager, the Manager shall be obliged to consult
with a reputable law firm (acceptable to the Trustee)
which shall provide legal advice on the matter. If the
said law firm is of the opinion that the Trustee, on
behalf of CMT, has a prima facie case against the
party allegedly in breach under such agreement, the
Manager is obliged to pursue the appropriate remedies
under such agreement. The Directors have a duty to
ensure that the Manager complies with the aforesaid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall
inform the Trustee as soon as it becomes aware of any
breach of any agreement entered into by the Trustee
with an affiliate of the Manager, and the Trustee may
take such action as it deems necessary to protect the
rights of Unitholders and/or which is in the interests
of Unitholders. Any decision by the Manager not to
take action against an affiliate of the Manager shall
not constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right to take
such action as it deems fit against such affiliate; and
• at least one-third of the Board should comprise
Independent Directors.
In addition, the Directors and executive officers of the
Manager are expected to act with integrity and honesty
at all times.
Additionally, the Trustee has been granted a right of first
refusal by CMA over all retail income-producing properties
located in Singapore with certain specified characteristics
which may in the future be identified and targeted for
acquisition by CMA or any of its subsidiaries.
Under the Trust Deed, in respect of voting rights where the
Manager would face a conflict between its own interests
and that of Unitholders, the Manager shall cause such
voting rights to be exercised according to the discretion
of the Trustee.
Dealings in Securities
The Manager has voluntarily issued guidelines to its
Directors and employees which prohibit them from dealing
in Units while in possession of material unpublished price
sensitive information and during the periods commencing:
(i) two weeks before the release of CMT’s quarterly results
and (ii) one month before the release of CMT’s full-year
results, to the date of the release of the relevant results
to the SGX-ST via SGXNET. Under these guidelines,
Directors and employees have been directed to refrain
from dealing in Units on short-term considerations. They
are also made aware of the applicability of the insider
trading laws at all times.
(F) Code Of Business Conduct
The Manager adheres to an ethics and code of business
conduct policy which deals with issues such as
confidentiality, conduct and work discipline, corporate gifts
and concessionary offers. Clear policies and guidelines
on how to handle work place harassment and grievances
are also in place.
All employees of the Manager have each been given a
printed employee handbook which sets out these policies
clearly.
95
Sustainability
The Manager believes that the policies it has implemented
help to detect and prevent occupational fraud mainly in
three ways.
First, the Manager offers fair compensation packages to
its employees, based on practices of pay-for-performance
and promotion based on merit, which minimise negative
financial pressures on them. The Manager also provides
various healthcare subsidies and financial assistance
schemes to alleviate the common financial pressures its
employees face.
Second, clearly documented policies and work procedures
incorporate internal controls which ensure that adequate
checks and balances are in place. Periodic audits are
also conducted to evaluate the efficacy of these internal
controls.
Finally, the Manager seeks to build and maintain the right
organisational culture through its core values, educating
its employees on good business conduct and ethical
values. The Manager’s zero tolerance stance against all
types of fraud is also regularly communicated at staff
communication sessions.
Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy
The Manager adopts a strong stance against corruption and
bribery. In addition to clear guidelines and procedures for
the giving and receipt of corporate gifts and concessionary
offers, all employees of the Manager are required to make
a declaration on an annual basis where they pledge to
uphold CMA’s core values and not to indulge in any corrupt
or unethical practices. The Manager believes that such an
initiative serves as a reminder to all employees to maintain
the highest standards of integrity in their work and business
dealings. The Manager’s stance against corruption and
bribery is frequently reiterated by Management during its
regular staff communication sessions as well.
The Manager’s zero tolerance policy towards corruption
and bribery extends to its dealings with third party service
providers and vendors. Pursuant to such policy, the
Manager usually requires that all agreements with third
party service providers and vendors incorporate a robust
anti-corruption clause.
Whistle-blowing Policy
Whistle-blowing policies and procedures are put in place
to provide employees of the Manager and parties with
official dealings with CMT with well defined, accessible
and trusted channels to report suspected fraud, corruption,
dishonest practices or other impropriety in the workplace,
and for the independent investigation of any reported
incidents and appropriate follow up action.
96
The aim of the whistle-blowing policy is to encourage the
reporting of such matters in good faith, with the confidence
that employees or external parties making such reports will
be treated fairly, and to the extent possible, be protected
from reprisal. On an ongoing basis, the whistle-blowing
policy is covered during periodic communications to
employees to promote fraud awareness.
Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist
Financing
As a holder of a Capital Markets Services licence issued
by the MAS, the Manager abides by the MAS’ guidelines
on the prevention of money laundering and countering
the financing of terrorism. Under these guidelines, the
main obligations of the Manager are:
•
•
•
•
•
customer due diligence;
suspicious transaction reporting;
record keeping;
employee hiring; and
staff training.
The Manager has developed and implemented a policy on
the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing
and is alert at all times to suspicious transactions. Where
there is a suspicion of money laundering or terrorist
financing, the Manager performs thorough due diligence
checks on its counterparties in order to ensure that it
does not enter into business transactions with terrorist
suspects or other high risk persons or entities. Suspicious
transactions are also reported to the Suspicious Transaction
Reporting Office of the Commercial Affairs Department.
In addition, due diligence checks are conducted on
Unitholders by the Central Depository (Pte) Limited (CDP)
and the stock brokerages with whom the Unitholders
open trading accounts to trade in Units or shares. The
CDP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Exchange
Limited. Likewise, when placements of Units are made,
the placement agents would be the stock brokerages
who would place the Units with their account holders.
Under this policy, the Manager must retain all relevant
records or documents relating to business relations with
its customers or transactions entered into for a period
of at least five years following the termination of such
business relations or the completion of such transactions.
All prospective employees of the Manager are also
screened against various lists of terrorist suspects issued
by the MAS. Periodic training is provided by the Manager
to its licensed representatives to ensure they are updated
and aware of applicable anti-money laundering and
terrorist financing regulations, the prevailing techniques
and trends in money laundering and terrorist financing
and the measures adopted by the Manager to combat
money laundering and terrorist financing.
Investor &
Media Relations
We are committed to providing the investment and media
communities with timely and transparent information on
CMT’s business and performance.
The Manager of CMT frequently meets existing and potential
investors and analysts at one-on-one or group meetings,
local and overseas conferences and roadshows. In 2012,
we met or held conference calls with about 350 institutional
investors globally and took part in investor conferences
and roadshows in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan.
We are also increasingly engaging in dialogue with our
growing base of debt investors, given CMT’s diversified
sources of debt funding. In March 2012, we participated
in ‘CapitaLand Group Debt Investor Day’ which was well
attended by more than 100 debt investors.
We made conscious efforts to engage more retail investors
as well, through large group seminars. During the year, we
participated in a corporate profile seminar and ‘Singapore
Investment Week’ seminar organised by the Securities
Investors Association (Singapore) (SIAS) to educate retail
investors on CMT’s investment proposition. The audiences
had the opportunity to ask questions and communicate
with Chief Executive Officer, Wilson Tan, at these seminars.
Currently, 22 local and foreign brokerage firms have research
coverage on CMT.
Approximately 13,000 registered Unitholders owned CMT
units as at 31 December 2012. About 58.77% of the units
were held by institutional investors with CapitaMalls Asia
Limited (CMA) owning another 27.57% of the units while
retail investors constitute the remaining 13.66% as at
31 December 2012. Investors from Singapore (excluding
CMA’s stake), North America and Hong Kong held the largest
portions of unitholdings in CMT at 14.58%, 13.26% and
12.32% respectively. Investors from Europe, Australia and
other parts of Asia accounted for the rest of the unitholdings.
Combined analyst and media results briefings are held every
six months to provide updates on CMT’s half-year and fullyear financial and operational performance. The briefings
are webcast ‘LIVE’ and viewers of the webcasts can send
in questions online to be addressed by the management
team on the spot. In line with our commitment to deliver
accurate, timely and transparent information to Unitholders
and the general public, financial results announcements
are made within 19 days from the end of each quarter.
In addition, annual general meetings (AGM) and extraordinary
general meetings (EGM) provide important channels for
communication between the management and Unitholders.
CMT convened its third AGM in April 2012 with Unitholders
approving all resolutions tabled at the event. Voting for all
the AGM resolutions were conducted via polls.
General information on CMT including annual reports,
property portfolio details and investor presentations are
updated regularly on the corporate website for investors
and the general public. All news releases and legal
announcements are also available on the Singapore
Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) website.
Mall tours are occasionally conducted for analysts, investors
and journalists who are keen to visit CMT’s properties to
better understand the performance of the various malls and
the asset enhancement initiatives which were completed.
As part of our proactive corporate governance efforts and
in line with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s revised
Code of Corporate Governance, in December 2012, we
put in place an investor relations policy to promote regular,
effective and fair communication with Unitholders. The

Cold Storage
Staying Fresh Through the Century
Cold Storage lays claim to being one of the oldest corporate
icons in Singapore, starting off humbly in 1903 as a small
depot storing and selling mainly frozen meat from Australia.
It is now one of Singapore’s largest supermarket operators
and is run by the Dairy Farm Group, which also manages
other supermarket chains such as Market Place, Jasons
the Gourmet Grocer, Giant and Shop N Save.
Mr Victor Chia, Chief Executive Officer of Dairy Farm
Singapore (Food), believes that Cold Storage’s ability to
stay relevant in the past 100 years is largely due to its
commitment to its ‘Customer First’ mindset, together
with management and staff’s passion and commitment in
constantly introducing new store concepts and innovations
that set clear industry standards and new product offerings.
1.How does Cold Storage differentiate itself from
competitors?
We brand ourselves as ‘the fresh food people’ and we are
committed to ensuring that our customers get the freshest
and best quality food possible. As this is our unique selling
proposition, to ensure the freshness of our produce, in
1999, we started a Fresh Food Distribution Centre, a
composite multi-temperature warehousing in Singapore
for fresh and frozen food distribution and became the first
supermarket retailer in Singapore to put a fully integrated
system in place to ensure cold chain distribution system
from supply chain to store level to ensure the safe handling
of perishable items.
In addition, Cold Storage also achieved many other
‘firsts’ in the Singapore retail industry such as – first
supermarket to receive the CASE TRUST mark in 1998
to distinguish companies that receive a high degree of
consumer confidence and first supermarket to receive
MUIS certification for a designated Halal certified service
corner in its supermarkets. We were also one of the pioneers
to be awarded the Food Safety Partnership launched in
Singapore by Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority in 2003 in
recognition of our commendable food safety assurance
and consumer education efforts in Singapore.
We also constantly push new frontiers by introducing new
store concepts such as Market Place and Jasons. These
are full service high-end gourmet stores that carry a wide
range of international high-quality product selections to
cater to the discerning needs of the well-travelled gourmand.
2.How has Cold Storage adapted to this era of
electronic commerce?
At Cold Storage, we always believe in staying ahead by
leveraging on technological advancements where feasible.
This goes way back to 1992 when we introduced bar codes
and scanning systems in our outlets to facilitate and speed
up the checkout process for our customers.
We were also the pioneer in introducing the self-checkout
machines in our key stores to offer added convenience
Mr Victor Chia, Chief Executive Officer of Dairy Farm Singapore
to our customers. This initiative was developed based
on feedback from customers, especially those who are in
the rush for time and appreciate the quick option of fast
checkout using these machines.
Cold Storage was also the first supermarket in Singapore
to offer online grocery shopping service through its website
in 1997. With a more technologically savvy population, this
service has been very well received and continues to grow
as it is a welcome convenient alternative to customers
who want to shop without having to leave the comfort of
their homes.
In June 2012, we were also the first supermarket to offer
a mobile phone application which allows shoppers to
browse through the weekly promotions and shop for
their groceries on the go. In the past year, we also started
offering customers an alternative way to shop by scanning
QR codes with their smartphones. The products that are
ordered online will then be delivered to their homes.
3. Given that there are already more than 50 Cold
Storage supermarkets in operation currently, do
you think that the local market is saturated?
We believe that the Singapore market still offers opportunities
for us to expand the business, as the population continues
to grow in the long run. It is all about convenience. Many
people are time-strapped these days and they would prefer
to shop at convenient locations near to their homes and
workplaces.
4.How has partnering with CapitaMall Trust helped
Cold Storage to grow?
I must say that we have a very cordial partnership with the
team at CapitaMall Trust all these years. They have been
professional and open in their regular communications
with us. They are also very experienced in planning the
layouts of their malls such that shopper traffic circulation
within the mall is usually very smooth. We look forward
to a continuous fruitful and synergistic partnership with
CapitaMall Trust in providing all our customers with a
pleasant and enhanced shopping experience.

Courts
Courting Customer Loyalty
Mr Terry O’Connor, the Chief Executive Officer of Courts
Asia Limited (Courts), is not resting on his laurels in driving
the group on to its next growth phase. Courts is a leading
electrical and information technology products and furniture
retailer in Singapore and Malaysia and is aiming to break
into the Indonesian market by 2014.
Mr O’Connor who has been working for the group for almost
two decades, believes the key to this is to build a large and
loyal customer base by offering quality products coupled
with solutions at affordable prices. In Singapore, the group
has 13 stores, the majority of which are strategically located
in suburban shopping malls or in stand-alone locations in
suburban catchment areas, where there are relatively high
population densities and easy access to public transport.
To raise funds for its expansion, Courts has relisted on
Singapore’s main board in October 2012 after being
privatised a few years ago.
1.Has the listing of Courts on the Singapore
Exchange in October 2012 changed the way you
operate the business?
The public listing has not changed the way we operate
the business since the group has been publicly listed
before. We already have a good corporate governance
structure in place, together with an effective internal
audit process, even before this listing. Nonetheless, we
now have to actively engage and communicate with a
wider set of stakeholders including shareholders and the
investment community. Besides having to comply with
financial reporting requirements, we also have to strive to
meet certain levels of performance targets that we have
publicly announced in order to answer to our stakeholders.
3.How has Courts’ business experience in Singapore
helped in its overseas expansion?
Courts has an operating history that spans more than 35
years in Singapore and more than 25 years in Malaysia.
We believe that Courts can leverage on the successes
that we have had in Singapore and Malaysia to tap into
opportunities in Indonesia, which is still under-penetrated.
For instance, we are able to test new ideas and products
in Singapore and gauge consumers’ responses before
rolling them out to other markets.
To expand into overseas markets, establishing and building
a strong brand identity becomes essential. In this respect,
we are proud that the Courts brand resonates strongly with
the local consumers and we will continue to innovate to
ensure the brand remains relevant.
Courts to grow?
Our partnership with CapitaMall Trust is a long-standing
relationship that goes back more than a decade ago. This
working relationship is built on trust, friendship and mutual
respect. Both Courts and CapitaMall Trust collaborate well
on marketing and advertising and promotional events, as
we recognise the value of creating a win-win culture if we
want the partnership to produce true business benefits.
The partnership has also provided Courts with the
opportunity to access good store locations in Singapore.
The bulk of the proceeds from listing will be used for our
expansion plans in Indonesia. We also plan to enlarge our
footprint in our key markets. Subject to market conditions,
we are looking to open an average of one store a year in
Singapore and an average of six stores a year in Malaysia
over the next two to three years.
2.How does Courts differentiate itself from
competitors?
We have the broadest product offerings for home furnishing
and electronics needs, which is complemented by our
solutions offerings, such as Dr Digital. We are also aggressive
where pricing is concerned. Most importantly, to us, the
customer must always come first in everything we do and
we seek to provide service beyond customer expectations.
For instance, we have flexible exchange policies and offer
in-house credit facilities. Our ‘Courts Flexi Schemes’ allow
participating customers the flexibility of paying for their
purchases by installments over a period of up to 60 months.
Given the readiness of the consumers to shop online, we
have also launched an ‘eCourts’ online sales platform that
offers shoppers an alternative shopping experience in their
comfort of their homes.

Mr Terry O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer of Courts
Japan Foods Holdings Ltd.
Blending Business Acumen with Ramen
the weather is usually hot and humid, people do not really
like to walk outdoors very much and they tend to prefer to
spend time in the air-conditioned malls.
In 1997, Japan Foods Holding Ltd. (Japan Foods) opened its
first Ajisen Ramen restaurant at Bugis Junction, Singapore,
after securing franchise rights of the brand. The company
has since gone from strength to strength and as at
30 September 2012, Japan Foods, together with its subfranchisees and franchisee, operate a total of 53 restaurants
under various brands in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
3. Do you think the customer is always right?
Its other franchise brands from Japan include ‘Aoba’,
‘Botejyu’ and ‘Menya Musashi’. The company has also
developed its own food & beverage (F&B) brands such
as ‘Aji Tei’, ‘Fruit Paradise’, ‘Tokyo Walker’ and ‘Japanese
Gourmet Town’.
Japan Foods to grow?
According to Mr Takahashi Kenichi, the Executive Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Japan Foods, who has
more than 10 years of experience in the F&B industry in
Singapore, Japan Foods’ multi-brand concept has served
them well and will continue to be one of their key strategies
for growth.
We value our consumers’ opinions greatly. If they provide
feedback, we study it and examine ways to improve our
food and service. With more and more Singapore consumers
becoming more quality-conscious about Japanese food,
we need to adapt to these changing trends and keep
innovating all the time.
The first shop for a new-to-market brand is very critical
and we are happy that we had the opportunity to work with
CapitaMall Trust right from the start of our business more
than 10 years ago. Currently, more than half of our retail
units in Singapore are located in CapitaMall Trust’s malls.
1. With eight different restaurant brands under
its management in Singapore, how does Japan
Foods ensure that each of the restaurant brands
has its own unique positioning?
There are many types of Japanese cuisine such as ramen,
sushi, sukiyaki and Japanese pancake. As our focus is on
Japanese food, we seek to bring in some of these delectable
cuisines to Singapore and present them in an innovative
manner. For instance, as part of our efforts to refresh
and reinvigorate dining concepts to cater to consumers’
changing tastes, we have opened ‘Osaka Ohsho’ restaurant
in Raffles City Shopping Centre in November 2012. This
‘Osaka Ohsho’ brand had started off in Japan as a gyoza
specialist shop in 1969 and currently has over 300 outlets
operating in Japan.
Each of the brands that we introduced has a different
positioning to enable us to cater to wider consumer
segments. We seek to provide different branding experiences
through factors such as retail store design, price points and
taste, and yet stay relevant in the Singapore F&B market.
Mr Takahashi Kenichi, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Japan Foods
2.How has Japan Foods’ business experience in
Singapore helped in its overseas expansion?
We know that it is important to adapt our various food
offerings to local taste buds. For example, we adjust the
levels of oil, salt and spices for different markets with
different taste preferences. We also learned that certain
retail locations are more favoured in different markets. For
instance, in places such as Singapore and Malaysia where

IMM
Building
IMM Building (IMM) is located in the
western part of Singapore, just a
10-minute walk from the Jurong East MRT
Interchange Station and bus interchange.
Besides its proximity to the surrounding
residential estates, IMM is close to major
office and industrial developments such
as the International Business Park (IBP)
and JTC Summit.
Shoppers to IMM enjoy the convenience
of free parking for the first three hours,
as well as a free shuttle bus that plies
between the mall and JCube (opposite
Jurong East MRT Interchange Station).
On weekdays, the shuttle bus service
also serves the IBP during lunch hours.
IMM is undergoing works to reposition
it as a value-focused mall. We target
to have 50 outlet brands by mid-2013
when the makeover is completed. By
then, the mall would have the largest
cluster of outlet stores under one roof
in Singapore. With its five distinct
retail clusters – Outlet Concept Stores,
Home Furnishings, IT & Appliances,
Children & F&B – IMM is positioned to
be a value-focused mall that caters to
bargain hunters.

The
Atrium@
Orchard
Following the completion of asset
enhancement initiative in October
2012, The Atrium@Orchard has been
successfully transformed from a
predominantly office building into a
mixed-use development.
Boasting direct linkages to Plaza
Singapura at levels 1, 3 and 4, the
retail podium now offers more than
135,000 sq ft of additional shopping
space to house new retail and dining
stores targeting trendy young adults
and PMEBs. The development also
enjoys direct connectivity to the Dhoby
Ghaut MRT Interchange Station, which
connects three main train lines – the
North South Line, the North East Line,
and the Circle Line.
As part of the asset enhancement works,
2,000 square metres of office space
was also decanted to facilitate the
co-location of Community and Sports
Facilities Scheme uses within the office
tower.

Clarke
Quay
Clarke Quay is a unique conserved
historical landmark located along the
Singapore River and at the fringe of
Singapore’s Central Business District.
It is within walking distance from the
Clarke Quay MRT Station, making it
accessible by public transportation.
Comprising five blocks of restored
shophouses and warehouses, Clarke
Quay plays host to a wide range of
restaurants, wine bars, entertainment
spots and retail shops.
Clarke Quay completed its asset
enhancement initiatives for Block C
and Block E in January 2013. Retail
space was recovered from an anchor
tenant and together with the common
area at Block E, a new row of F&B and
entertainment shops was created
Facing River Valley Road, the new shops
added much vibrancy to the otherwise
quiet road front.

Development
Property
On 30 May 2011, CMT, in partnership with CapitaMalls Asia
Limited and CapitaLand Limited, won the tender for a site
at Jurong Gateway with a bid of about S$969.0 million.
CMT has a 30.00% stake in the joint venture developing
the site.
Artist’s impression
The site has a prime location next to both Jurong East MRT
Interchange Station and Jurong East Bus Interchange as
well as neighbouring amenities such as the upcoming Ng
Teng Fong General Hospital. The Urban Redevelopment
Authority has announced plans to transform Jurong Lake
District into the largest regional centre in Singapore for
commercial developments outside the city centre. Jurong
Gateway would be about 2.5 times the size of Tampines
Regional Centre.
The new retail and office development, to be called
Westgate, will continue the transformation of the area into
an attractive destination for business and leisure serving
more than 3,000 multinational and global businesses in the
Jurong and Tuas areas. Including neighbouring towns such
as Clementi, Bukit Batok, Jurong East and Jurong West,
there is a catchment of more than one million residents.
Ground-breaking for Westgate took place on 12 January
2012, seven months after the award of the site.
Leasing activities for the retail component of the
development, also named Westgate, are on track. The mall
will target middle income families, working professionals,
residents in the vicinity, commuters, hospital visitors and
students from nearby schools. Its offerings from Basement
2 to Level 5 will meet the varied needs of shoppers.
Brands opening their first stores outside Singapore’s
downtown area at Westgate include Isetan’s Japanese
supermarket and popular French bakery and patisserie
Paul Bakery. Isetan’s supermarket will be its first outside
Orchard Road and the brand will operate a department
store, bringing Japanese fashion to Westgate. Other food &
beverage (F&B) brands that will have a presence at Westgate
are Food Republic, Paradise Dynasty, Café Crema, Menya
Musashi and Steak & Seafood Robatayaki Buffet.

The total development cost for Westgate is expected to be
about S$1,565.0 million. CMT’s 30.00% share of this cost
is approximately S$469.5 million, which represents 4.7%
of CMT’s total deposited property of S$9.9 billion as at
31 December 2012. As at end-2012, Westgate’s land has
been valued at S$969.0 million and CMT’s 30.00% share
is S$290.7 million, unchanged from its previous valuation
as at 1 November 2011.
As at 31 December 2012, the Infinity Mall Trust and Infinity
Office Trust which are special purpose trusts established
to hold the Westgate project, have drawn down S$718.3
million from S$820.0 million secured banking facilities.
CMT’s 30.00% share of the S$718.3 million five-year
loan drawn down amounted to S$215.5 million which will
mature in 2016.

Westgate will complement CMT’s other malls in the area,
namely IMM Building and JCube. Shoppers can look
forward to the equivalent of a three-in-one mall in the heart
of the Jurong Regional Centre by end-2013. Each mall will
offer something different to meet every shopper’s needs.

Independent Auditors’ Report
Unitholders of CapitaMall Trust
(Established in the Republic of Singapore pursuant to a Trust Deed dated 29 October 2001
(as amended))
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CapitaMall Trust (the “Trust”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”),
which comprise the Balance Sheets and Portfolio Statements of the Group and the Trust as at 31 December 2012, and
the Statements of Total Return, Distribution Statements, Statements of Movements in Unitholders’ Funds and Cash Flow
Statements of the Group and the Trust for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information, as set out on pages 150 to 214.
Manager’s responsibility for the financial statements
The Manager of the Trust is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with the recommendations of Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice 7 “Reporting Framework
for Unit Trusts” issued by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore, and for such internal control as
the Manager of the Trust determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the Trust’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Manager of the Trust, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

On 31 December 2012, independent valuations of Tampines Mall, Junction 8, Funan DigitaLife Mall, IMM Building,
Bugis Junction, JCube and Bugis+ were undertaken by CBRE Pte Ltd (“CBRE”) while the independent valuations of
Plaza Singapura, Sembawang Shopping Centre, The Atrium@Orchard, Bukit Panjang Plaza, Lot One Shoppers’ Mall,
Rivervale Mall and Clarke Quay were undertaken by Knight Frank Pte Ltd (“Knight Frank”). The Manager believes that
the independent valuers have appropriate professional qualifications and experience in the location and category of
the properties being valued.
The valuations were based on discounted cash flow and capitalisation approaches for CBRE and Knight Frank. The
net change in fair value of the properties has been recognised in the Statement of Total Return.
On 31 December 2012, independent valuation of Raffles City Singapore was undertaken by Knight Frank. The Manager
believes that the independent valuer has appropriate professional qualifications and experience in the location and
category of the property being valued. The valuation was based on investment approach and discounted cash flow
analysis. The valuation adopted was $2,902,000,000 and the Trust’s proportionate interest in the property value is
$1,160,800,000. The net change in fair value of the property has been recognised in the Statement of Total Return.
Investment properties comprise commercial properties that are leased to external customers. Generally, the leases
contain an initial non-cancellable period of three years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee. Contingent
rents recognised in the Statement of Total Return of the Group and in the Statement of Total Return of the Trust
amounted to $36,227,000 (2011: $36,923,000) and $26,077,000 (2011: $26,726,000) respectively.

Notes to the Financial Statements
These notes form an integral part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Manager and the Trustee on 22 February 2013.
1General
CapitaMall Trust (the “Trust”) is a Singapore-domiciled unit trust constituted pursuant to the trust deed dated 29
October 2001 (as amended) (the “Trust Deed”) between CapitaMall Trust Management Limited (the “Manager”)
and HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited (the “Trustee”). The Trust Deed is governed by the
laws of the Republic of Singapore. The Trustee is under a duty to take into custody and hold the assets of the
Trust in trust for the holders (“Unitholders”) of units in the Trust (the “Units”).
The Trust was formally admitted to the Official List of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGXST”) on 17 July 2002 (“Listing Date”) and was included under the Central Provident Fund (“CPF”) Investment
Scheme on 13 September 2002.
The principal activity of the Trust is to invest in income producing real estate, which is used or substantially used
for retail purposes with the primary objective of achieving an attractive level of return from rental income and
for long-term capital growth. The principal activities of the subsidiaries, associate and joint ventures are set out
in Notes 7 and 8.
The consolidated financial statements relate to the Trust and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) and the Group’s
interest in its associate and joint ventures.
The Trust has entered into several service agreements in relation to management of the Trust and its property
operations. The fee structures of these services are as follows:
1.1Property management fees
Under the property management agreement, property management fees are charged as follows:
(a)
2.00% per annum of the gross revenue of the properties;
(b)
2.00% per annum of the net property income of the properties; and
(c)
0.50% per annum of the net property income of the properties, in lieu of leasing commissions.
The property management fees are payable monthly in arrears.
1.2
Pursuant to the Trust Deed, the asset management fees shall not exceed 0.70% per annum of the Deposited
Property or such higher percentage as may be fixed by an Extraordinary Resolution at a meeting of Unitholders.
Deposited Property refers to all the assets of the Trust, including all its Authorised Investments (as defined in the
Trust Deed) for the time being held or deemed to be held upon the trusts of the Trust Deed.
The asset management fee comprise:
(a)in respect of Authorised Investments which are in the form of real estate, a base component of 0.25%
per annum of Deposited Property and a performance component of 2.85% per annum of gross revenue
of the Trust for each financial year; and
161
(b)in respect of all other Authorised Investments which are not in the form of real estate, 0.5% per annum of
the investment value of the Authorised Investment, unless such Authorised Investment is an interest in a
property fund (either a real estate investment trust or private property fund) wholly managed by a whollyowned subsidiary of CapitaLand Limited, in which case no asset management fee shall be payable in
relation to such Authorised Investment.
In respect of all Authorised Investments which are in the form of real estate acquired by the Trust:
(a)the base component shall be paid to the Manager in the form of cash and/or Units (as the Manager may
elect); and
(b)the performance component shall be paid to the Manager in the form of cash, in the form of Units or a
combination of both (as the Manager may elect).
When paid in the form of Units, the Manager shall be entitled to receive such number of Units as may be
purchased for the relevant amount of the asset management fee at the market price (as defined in the Trust
Deed). The asset management fees are payable quarterly in arrears.
The Manager is also entitled to receive acquisition fee at the rate of 1.0% of the purchase price and a divestment
fee of 0.5% of the sale price on all future acquisitions or disposals of properties or investments.
1.3
Trustee’s fees
Pursuant to the Trust Deed, the Trustee’s fees shall not exceed 0.10% per annum of the Deposited Property
(subject to a minimum sum of $6,000 per month) payable out of the Deposited Property of the Trust. The Trustee
is also entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under the Trust Deed.
The Trustee’s fees are payable quarterly in arrears.
2
Basis of preparation
2.1
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Accounting
Practice (“RAP”) 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts” issued by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants
of Singapore (“ICPAS”), and the applicable requirements of the Code on Collective Investment Schemes (“CIS
Code”) issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) and the provisions of the Trust Deed. RAP 7
requires that accounting policies adopted should generally comply with the principles relating to recognition and
measurement of the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”).
2.2
Basis of measurement
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment properties, derivative
financial instruments and certain financial assets and financial liabilities which are measured at fair value.
2.3
Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency. All financial
information presented in Singapore dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
162
2.4Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with RAP 7 requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements
is described in the following notes:

Valuation of financial instruments
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial
statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
3.1Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control,
potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of
subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until
the date that control ceases.
Associate is an entity in which the Group has a significant influence, but not control, over the financial and
operating policies. In the financial statements of the Group, the interest in an associate is accounted for using
the equity method. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses
of the associate, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date
that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share
of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term
investments) is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that
the Group has an obligation or has made payment on behalf of the associate.
Joint ventures are entities over whose activities the Trust has joint control, established by contractual agreement
and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. In the financial statements
of the Group, the interest in joint ventures is accounted for by including its proportionate share of the jointlycontrolled entity’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses with the similar item, line by line, in its financial
statements. The consolidated financial statements include the assets that the Group controls and the liabilities
that it incurs in the course of pursuing the joint ventures, share of the income and expenses of the joint ventures,
after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that joint control
commences until the date that joint control ceases.
163
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from
transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s
interest in the investees. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the
extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Accounting for subsidiaries, associate and joint ventures by the Trust
Investments in subsidiaries, associate and joint ventures are stated in the Trust’s balance sheet at cost less
accumulated impairment losses.
3.2Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
When parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate
items (major components) of plant and equipment.
The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item
if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost
can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in the
Statement of Total Return as incurred.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis so as to write off items of plant and equipment, and major
components that are accounted for separately, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Furniture, fittings and equipment
–
2 to 5 years
Gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of plant and equipment is determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and is recognised in the Statement of
Total Return.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each
reporting date.
3.3
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both.
Investment properties are accounted for as non-current assets and are stated at initial cost on acquisition
and at fair value thereafter. The cost of a purchased property comprises its purchase price and any directly
attributable expenditure including capitalised borrowing costs. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial
measurement. Fair value is determined in accordance with the Trust Deed, which requires the investment
properties to be valued by independent registered valuers in the following events:
164
•
in such manner and frequency required under the CIS Code issued by MAS; and
•
at least once in each period of 12 months following the acquisition of each parcel of real estate property.
Any increase or decrease on revaluation is credited or charged to the Statement of Total Return as a net change
in fair value of the investment properties.
When an investment property is disposed of, the resulting gain or loss recognised in the Statement of Total
Return is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the property.
Investment properties are not depreciated. The properties are subject to continued maintenance and regularly
revalued on the basis set out above. For income tax purposes, the Group and the Trust may claim capital
allowances on assets that qualify as plant and machinery under the Income Tax Act.
3.4Properties under development
Properties under development are properties being constructed or developed for future use as investment
properties. Properties under development are measured at fair value. The difference between the fair value
and cost (including acquisition costs, development expenditure, capitalised borrowing costs and other directly
attributable expenditure) is credited or charged to the Statement of Total Return. Upon completion, the carrying
amounts are reclassified to investment properties.
3.5
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group at the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at
the end of the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated
to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date on which the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in Statement of Total Return, except for the
following differences which are recognised in Unitholders’ funds, arising on the retranslation of:
•
vailable-for-sale equity instruments (except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences
a
that have been recognised in Unitholders’ funds are reclassified to Statement of Total Return);
•
financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that
a
the hedge is effective; or
•
qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge is effective.
3.6
Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial assets
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other
financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through the Statement of Total Return) are recognised
initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire,
or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in
transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
165
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only
when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any impairment losses.
Loans and receivables comprise loans to joint ventures, trade and other receivables and cash and cash
equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognises all other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through the
Statement of Total Return) on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The Group has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: loans and borrowings and trade and other
payables.
Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic
characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related, a separate
instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and the
combined instrument is not measured at fair value through the Statement of Total Return. Multiple embedded
derivatives in a single instrument are treated as a single compound embedded derivative if they share the same
underlying risk exposures, are interdependent of each other and are not readily separable.
On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the
hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging
relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on
an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the
changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge
is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80%-125%. For a cash flow
hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an
exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported total return.
166
Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in the Statement
of Total Return when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and
changes therein are accounted for as described below.
Cash flow hedges
When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable
to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction
that could affect Statement of Total Return, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative
is recognised in Unitholders’ funds and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of
changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in Statement of Total Return.
When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in Unitholders’ funds is included
in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated
in Unitholders’ funds is reclassified to Statement of Total Return in the same period that the hedged item
affects Statement of Total Return. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued
prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in Unitholders’ funds
is reclassified to Statement of Total Return.
Separable embedded derivatives
Changes in the fair value of separable embedded derivatives are recognised immediately in the Statement of
Total Return.
Other non-trading derivatives
When a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedge relationship that qualifies for hedge
accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in Statement of Total Return.
Convertible bonds
The Group has issued convertible bonds that comprise a liability for the interest and principal amount and
a derivative liability. The derivative liability is recognised at fair value at inception. The carrying amount of
the convertible bonds at initial recognition is the difference between the gross proceeds from the convertible
bonds issue and the fair value of the derivative liability. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated
to the convertible bonds and derivative liability in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to
initial recognition, the convertible bonds are measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. The
derivative liability is measured at fair value through the Statement of Total Return.
The Group has also issued convertible bonds that can be converted into Unitholders’ funds at the option of the
holder, where the number of units to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value are accounted for
as compound financial instruments. The gross proceeds are allocated to the equity and liability components,
with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after deducting the fair value of the liability
component from the fair value of the compound financial instrument. Subsequent to initial recognition, the
liability component of convertible bonds is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The
equity component of convertible bonds is not re-measured.
167
3.7Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
A financial asset not carried at fair value through Statement of Total Return is assessed at each reporting date
to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective
evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event
had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring
of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor
or issuer will enter bankruptcy. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged
decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for loans and receivables at both a specific asset and collective
level. All individually significant loans and receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually
significant loans and receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for
any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Loans and receivables that are not individually
significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together loans and receivables with similar risk
characteristics.
In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of
recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for the Manager’s judgement as to whether current
economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested
by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference
between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s
original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in the Statement of Total Return and reflected in an
allowance account against loans and receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised
through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to
decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Total Return.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment properties and properties under
development, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If
any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its
fair value less costs to sell. 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 or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested
individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing
use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Total Return.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that
the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that
the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
168
3.8
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost
and redemption value being recognised in the Statement of Total Return over the period of the borrowings on
an effective interest basis.
3.9Unitholders’ funds
Unitholders’ funds represent the Unitholders’ residual interest in the Group’s net assets upon termination and
is classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of units are recognised as a deduction from Unitholders’ funds.
3.10 Revenue recognition
Rental income from operating leases
Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in the Statement of Total Return on a straightline basis over the term of the lease, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of
benefits to be derived from the leased assets. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the
total rental to be received. Contingent rentals, which include gross turnover rental, are recognised as income in
the accounting period on a receipt basis. No contingent rentals are recognised if there are uncertainties due to
the possible return of amounts received.
Car park income
Car park income is recognised as it accrues on a time apportioned basis.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Investment income
Investment income is recognised when the right to receive distribution income from an associate or a joint
venture is established.
3.11Expenses
Property operating expenses
Property operating expenses consist of quit rents, property taxes, utilities, property management fees, property
management reimbursements, marketing, maintenance and other property outgoings in relation to investment
properties where such expenses are the responsibility of the Group.
Property management fees are recognised on an accrual basis based on the applicable formula, stipulated in
Note 1.1.
Asset management fees are recognised on an accrual basis using the applicable formula, stipulated in Note 1.2.
169
Trustee’s fees
The Trustee’s fees are recognised on an accrual basis using the applicable formula, stipulated in Note 1.3.
3.12 Finance costs
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and convertible bonds, amortisation of borrowings and
convertible bonds related transaction costs and accretion of convertible bonds interest which are recognised
in the Statement of Total Return using the effective interest method over the period of borrowings and the
convertible bonds. Finance costs also include gain/loss on remeasurement of financial derivatives.
3.13 Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement
of Total Return except to the extent that it relates to items directly related to Unitholders’ funds, in which case it
is recognised in Unitholders’ funds.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the Balance Sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation
purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
•
t emporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and
•
ifferences related to investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that
d
they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the
Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences
when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
assets and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax
entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities
will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain
tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax
liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations
of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series
of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change
its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax
expense in the period that such a determination is made.
170
The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (the “IRAS”) has issued a tax ruling on the tax treatment of the Trust.
Subject to meeting the terms and conditions of the tax ruling which includes a distribution of at least 90.0% of
the taxable income of the Trust, the Trustee is not subject to tax on the taxable income of the Trust to the extent
of the amount distributed. Instead, the distributions made by the Trust out of such taxable income are subject
to tax in the hands of Unitholders, unless they are exempt from tax on the Trust’s distributions. This treatment
is known as the tax transparency treatment.
Individuals and qualifying Unitholders, i.e. companies incorporated and tax resident in Singapore, Singapore
branches of foreign companies that have obtained waiver from the IRAS from tax deducted at source in respect
of the distributions from the Trust, and bodies of persons registered or constituted in Singapore, are entitled
to gross distributions from the Trust. For distributions made to foreign non-individual Unitholders, the Trustee
is required to withhold tax at the reduced rate of 10.0%. For other types of Unitholders, the Trustee is required
to withhold tax at the prevailing corporate tax rate on the distributions made by the Trust. Such other types of
Unitholders are subject to tax on the regrossed amounts of the distributions received but may claim a credit for
the tax deducted at source at the prevailing corporate tax rate by the Trustee.
The Trust has a distribution policy to distribute at least 90.0% of its taxable income, other than gains from the
sale of real estate properties that are determined by the IRAS to be trading gains. For the taxable income that is
not distributed, referred to as retained taxable income, tax will be assessed on the Trustee. Where such retained
taxable income is subsequently distributed, the Trustee need not deduct tax at source.
3.14 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the
Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief
Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and
assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to the Group’s CODMs include items directly attributable to a segment as
well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly Trust’s assets
and liabilities.
3.15New standards, interpretations and revised recommended accounting practice not yet adopted
On 29 June 2012, ICPAS issued a revised version of RAP 7. RAP 7 (2012) will become effective for the Group’s
financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2013, and has not been applied in preparing these
financial statements. The Manager does not expect the application of RAP 7 (2012) to have significant impact
on the financial statements of the Group.
A number of new FRS standards, amendments to FRS standards and interpretations are effective for annual
periods beginning after 1 January 2012, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.
Those new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are expected to have a significant
effect on the financial statements of the Group and the Trust in future financial periods, and which the Group
does not plan to early adopt except as otherwise indicated below, are set out below.
171
Applicable for the Group’s 2013 financial statements
•
RS 113 Fair Value Measurement replaces the existing guidance on fair value measurement in different
F
FRSs with a single definition of fair value. The standard also establishes a framework for measuring fair
values and sets out the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
The adoption of this standard will require the Group to re-assess the bases used for determining the fair
values computed for both measurement and disclosures purposes and would result in more extensive
disclosures on fair value measurements. On initial application of the standard, the Group does not expect
substantial changes to the bases used for determining the fair values.
In accordance with the transitional provisions, the Group will apply FRS 113 prospectively as of 1 January
2013. As a result, prior periods in the Group’s 2013 financial statements will not be restated for any
adjustments arising from the changes in valuation bases as set out above; any such adjustments will be
recorded in the income statement in 2013.
Applicable for the Group’s 2014 financial statements
•
RS 111 Joint Arrangements establishes the principles for classification and accounting of joint
F
arrangements. The adoption of this standard would require the Group to re-assess and classify its joint
arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures based on its rights and obligations arising from
the joint arrangements. Under this standard, interests in joint ventures will be accounted for using the
equity method whilst interests in joint operations will be accounted for using the applicable FRSs relating
to the underlying assets, liabilities, revenue and expense items arising from the joint operations.
At 31 December 2012, the Group has investments under joint arrangements. Currently, RCS Trust, Infinity
Mall Trust and Infinity Office Trust are accounted for as jointly-controlled entities using the proportionate
consolidation method. The Group has re-evaluated the rights and obligations of the parties to these joint
arrangements and has determined that the parties in these joint arrangements have rights to the net
assets of the joint arrangements. Accordingly, these joint arrangements will be classified as joint ventures
under FRS 111 and will be accounted for using the equity method.
These changes will be applied retrospectively and in the Group’s 2014 financial statements, prior periods
will be restated. Had this change been effected as at 31 December 2012, the estimated impact on key
line items in the financial statements are as follow:

Some of the investment properties have been mortgaged to secure credit facilities for the Trust and the Group
(Note 12) and as security for the convertible bonds of the Trust (Note 13). The mortgage to secure the credit
facilities for the Trust was released on 31 October 2012. As at 31 December 2012, other than The Atrium@
Orchard, all investment properties under the Trust are unencumbered. As at 31 December 2011, Plaza Singapura,
Lot One Shoppers’ Mall, Bukit Panjang Plaza, Rivervale Mall, Clarke Quay, Hougang Plaza and Bugis+ were
unencumbered.
Investment properties are stated at fair value based on valuations performed by independent professional
valuers. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be
exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction
after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
In determining the fair value, the valuers have used valuation methods which involve certain estimates. The
Manager is of the view that the estimates are reflective of the current market condition. The key assumptions
used to determine the fair value of investment properties include market-corroborated capitalisation yield,
terminal yield and discount rate.

Properties under development relate to the Group’s proportionate interest in properties held by Infinity Trusts
located at Boon Lay Way with a remaining term of lease of 98 years.
Properties under development are stated at fair value based on valuation performed by independent professional
valuer, CBRE Pte Ltd, on 31 December 2012. The valuer has considered valuation techniques including the
residual land method, in arriving at the market value. In determining the fair value, the valuer has used valuation
methods which involve certain estimates. The manager is of the view that the estimates are reflective of the
current market condition.
During financial year ended 31 December 2012, interest capitalised amounted to $7,552,462 (2011: $2,115,555)
with an effective rate ranging from 1.34% to 2.44% (2011: 1.38% to 3.00%) per annum.

The dilution in the interest held for Investment in associate is due to the equity fund raising conducted by CRCT on 30 June 2011 and 2 November
2012 in which the Trust did not participate.
Associate
CapitaRetail China Trust
CapitaRetail China Trust (“CRCT”) is a real estate investment trust constituted in Singapore by a trust deed
dated 23 October 2006 (as amended). CRCT was formally admitted to SGX-ST on 8 December 2006. CRCT is
established with the objective of investing on a long term basis in a diversified portfolio of income producing real
estate and primarily for retail purposes and located primarily in the People’s Republic of China.
On a recurring basis, as the results of CRCT are not expected to be announced in sufficient time to be included
in the Group’s results for the same calendar quarter, the Group will equity account the results of CRCT based
on a 3 month lag time.
At the reporting date, the fair value of both the Group’s and the Trust’s investment in CRCT is $201,236,000
(2011: $141,111,000).

Concentration of credit risk relating to trade receivables is limited due to the Group’s many varied tenants. These
tenants comprise retailers engaged in a wide variety of consumer trades. The Group’s historical experience in
the collection of accounts receivable falls within the recorded allowances. Due to these factors, the Manager
believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in the Group’s
trade receivables.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the reporting date (by type of consumers) is:

The Manager believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of the remaining trade receivables
as these receivables arose mainly from tenants that have good record with the Group and have sufficient
security deposits as collateral.

(ii)
an assignment and charge of the rental proceeds and tenancy agreements of units in the Properties;
(iii)
an assignment of the insurance policies relating to the Properties;
(iv)
an assignment of the agreements relating to the management of the Properties; and

Programme”) at their principal amount together with interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption:
(i)US$255.5 million notes which bore interest on a floating rate basis of 0.24% above the US
dollar London Inter Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) repriced every three months, for the period
from 31 October 2005 to 31 October 2012. If these floating rate notes were not redeemed
by Silver Maple on 31 October 2012, interest would have accrued at the rate of 1.0% above
the US dollar LIBOR repriced every three months, for the period from 31 October 2012 to date
of redemption on 30 April 2014; and
(ii)€175.0 million notes which bore interest on a floating rate basis of 0.16% above the Euro Interbank
Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) repriced every three months for the period from 26 February 2007 to
31 October 2012. If these floating rate notes were not redeemed by Silver Maple on 31 October
2012, interest would have accrued at the rate of 1.0% above 3 month EURIBOR, for the period
from 31 October 2012 to date of redemption on 30 April 2014.
(together the “Floating Rate Notes”) Subsequent to the redemption of the Floating Rate Notes, there are no outstanding notes issued under
the MTN Programme. Accordingly, the MTN Programme has been terminated, and the security granted
by Silver Maple over its rights in relation to the Properties, in favour of holders of notes issued under the
MTN Programme as security for its obligations there under, has been discharged and released.

Financial risk management
Capital management
The Board of the Manager proactively reviews the Group’s and the Trust’s capital and debt management cum
financing policy regularly so as to optimise the Group’s and the Trust’s funding structure. Capital consists of
Unitholders’ Funds of the Group. The Board also monitors the Group’s and the Trust’s exposure to various risk
elements and externally imposed requirements by closely adhering to clearly established management policies
and procedures.
The Trust and its subsidiaries are subject to the aggregate leverage limit as defined in the Property Fund
Appendix of the CIS code. The CIS code stipulates that the total borrowings and deferred payments (together
the “Aggregate Leverage”) of a property fund should not exceed 35.0% of the fund’s deposited property. The
Aggregate Leverage of a property fund may exceed 35.0% of the fund’s deposited property (up to a maximum
of 60.0%) only if a credit rating of the property fund from Fitch Inc., Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s is obtained
and disclosed to the public. The property fund should continue to maintain and disclose a credit rating so long
as its Aggregate Leverage exceeds 35.0% of the fund’s deposited property.
The Trust has maintained its corporate rating of ‘A2’. The Group and the Trust have complied with the Aggregate
Leverage limit of 60.0% during the financial year. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital
management during the financial year.
Overview of risk management
Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group. The Group has a system of controls in place
to create an acceptable balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. The
Manager continually monitors the Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance
between risk and control is achieved. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect
changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities.
The Audit Committee oversees how the Manager monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management
policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks
faced by the Group. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit
undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which
are reported to the Audit Committee.
200
Credit risk
Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle its
financial and contractual obligations to the Group, as and when they fall due.
The Manager has established credit limits for customers and monitors their balances on an ongoing basis.
Credit evaluations are performed by the Manager before lease agreements are entered into with tenants.
The Manager establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect
of trade and other receivables. The main component of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates
to the individually significant exposure.
The allowance account in respect of trade and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless
the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point, the financial asset is
considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the carrying
amount of the impaired financial asset.
Cash and fixed deposits are placed with financial institutions which are regulated. The Group limits its credit risk
exposure in respect of investments by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have
sound credit ratings. Given these high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to
meet its obligations.
At 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The
maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset on the balance sheet.
Liquidity risk
The Manager monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management
to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Typically, the Group
ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days,
including the servicing of financial obligations.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity
prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of
market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while
optimising the return on risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on interest-bearing borrowings that were denominated in a
currency other than the functional currency of the Group. The currencies giving rise to this risk are US Dollars,
HK Dollars and JPY. The Group hedges this risk by entering into cross currency swaps with notional contract
amounts of US$500.0 million, US$400.0 million, HK$1.15 billion, JPY10.0 billion and HK$885.0 million.

Sensitivity analysis
A 10.0% strengthening of Singapore dollar against the following foreign currency at the reporting date would
decrease the Statement of Total Return and Unitholders’ Funds as at 31 December 2012 by the amounts shown
below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular, interest rates, remain constant.

A 10.0% weakening of Singapore dollar against the above currency would have had an equal but opposite
effect on the above currency to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest-bearing financial liabilities. Interest
rate risk is managed on an ongoing basis with the primary objective of limiting the extent to which net interest
expense could be affected by adverse movements in interest rates.
At 31 December 2012, the Group has interest rate swaps with total notional contract amount of $515,000,000
(2011: $372,500,000) whereby the Group has agreed with counterparties to exchange, at specified intervals, the
difference between floating rate and fixed rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional
principal amounts of the secured and unsecured term loans.
The net fair value of the above swaps at 31 December 2012 is $14,951,000 (2011: $16,412,000) comprising
non-current liabilities of $14,951,000 (2011: $16,412,000).

Estimation of fair values
The following summarises the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial
instruments of the Group.
Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and derivative liability portion of the convertible bonds
are based on broker quotes/third party quotes. These quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting
estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates
for a similar instrument at the measurement date.
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future
principal and interest cash flows, discounted at market rates at the reporting date.
Other financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year (including trade and
other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables) are assumed to approximate their
fair values because of the short period to maturity.
Interest rates used in determining fair values
The interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows, where applicable, are based on the forward yield
curve at 31 December plus an adequate constant credit spread, and are as follows:
Security deposits
Convertible bonds
206
2012

Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation model. The different levels have
been defined as follows:
•
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•
Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices included in 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 asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable data).

30Operating segments
For the purpose of making resource allocation decisions and the assessment of segment performance, the
Group’s CODMs reviews internal/management reports of its investment properties. This forms the basis of
identifying the operating segments of the Group under FRS 108 Operating Segments.
Segment revenue comprises mainly of income generated from its tenants. Segment net property income
represents the income earned by each segment after allocating property operating expenses. This is the
measure reported to the CODMs for the purpose of assessment of segment performance. In addition, the
CODMs monitor the non-financial assets as well as financial assets attributable to each segment when assessing
segment performance.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can
be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly income-earning assets and revenue,
interest-bearing borrowings and expenses, related assets and expenses. Segment capital expenditure is the total
cost incurred during the year to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one year.
Geographical segments
Segment information in respect of the Group’s geographical segments is not presented, as the Group’s activities
for the year ended 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 related to properties located in Singapore.

Contingent liability
Pursuant to the tax transparency ruling from IRAS, the Trustee has provided a tax indemnity for certain types
of tax losses, including unrecovered late payment penalties, that may be suffered by IRAS should IRAS fail to
recover from Unitholders tax due or payable on distributions made to them without deduction of tax, subject to
the indemnity amount agreed with the IRAS. This indemnity is applicable to distributions made out of the Trust’s
income for the period from the date of the listing of the Trust to 1 August 2004. The amount of indemnity, as
agreed with IRAS for any one year is limited to the higher of $500,000 or 1.0% of the taxable income of the Trust
for that year. Each yearly indemnity has a validity period of the earlier of seven years from the end of the relevant
year of assessment and three years from the termination of the Trust. The tax indemnity provided to the IRAS
will cease to have effect from 1 January 2013.
