Note 3:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital is calculated in accordance to
Singapore Technologies (ST) Group EVA Policy as follows:
i) Cost of Equity using Capital Asset Pricing Model with market risk
premium at 7.0%;
ii) Risk-free rate of 3.94% (2001 @ 4.12%) based on yield-to-maturity
of Singapore Government 10 years Bonds;
iii) Ungeared beta at 0.85 based on ST risk categorisation; and
iv) Cost of Debt rate at 4.30% (2001 @ 4.58%) using 5-year Singapore
Dollar Swap Offered rate plus 75 basis point.
Note 4:
Unusual Items (UI) refer to divestment of investment properties, subsidiary
and associates, long term investments and disposal of major fixed
assets.
Note 5:
In 2001, EVA reported of $160.9 million was based on EVA of the Group
excluding UI but before Minority Interests. The capital employed was
adjusted for the capital gains/losses from Unusual Items. With effect
from 2002, the statement is refined to reflect the EVA attributable
to shareholders (excluding minority share of EVA). All capital gains/losses
from UI also formed part of the capital employed to be accounted.
The restated 2001 Group EVA Attributable to Shareholders (exclude
UI) of $157.9 million reflects the above changes.
