a. Service concession receivables
This relates to a 25-year agreement between a subsidiary and PUB (grantor) to design, build, own and operate a NEWater plant. The construction of the new plant started in April 2008 and will treat and convert feedwater to NEWater starting from May 2010. At the end of the concession period, the subsidiary will transfer the plant to the grantor. This arrangement falls within the scope of INT FRS 112.

Under the terms of the agreement, the subsidiary will receive a minimum guarantee sum from the grantor in exchange for services performed. The subsidiary recognises this service concession receivable as it has a contractual right under the concession arrangement. The financial receivable is measured on initial recognition at its fair value.
   
b. Prepayments
Prepayments relate primarily to:

Group
i. Connection fees prepaid under the Generation Connection and Use of System Agreement for the use of the transmission lines; and
ii. Service fees prepaid under the Gasoil Supply and Storage Agreement for the usage of the tank.

Company
i. Prepayments relate to connection and capacity charges prepaid for the use of pipelines and piperacks.
ii. Prepayments are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of prepayments.
