This relates to a 25-year agreement between a subsidiary and PUB (grantor) to design, build and operate a NEWater plant. The construction of the new plant started in April 2008 of which the plant 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 guaranteed sum from the grantor in exchange for services performed. The subsidiary recognised 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.
