showed a 9% rise to S$569.7 million while profit after tax andnon-controlling interests came in at S$88.5 million, an 18%increase over FY2009s net profit.
Hyfluxs performance was the result of effective cost-managementmeasures put in place to strike a balance between costs on onehand and growth on the other.
To reward shareholders, the Board of Directors has recommendeda final dividend of 3.50 Singapore cents per share. In addition tothe first interim dividend that was paid out on 15 September 2010,the full-year dividend payout will amount to 4.17 Singapore centsper share for FY2010. This is 25% higher than the dividend pershare for FY2009.
EXPANDING CAPABILITIES
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Hyfluxs listing onthe Singapore Stock Exchange. Our Group has achieved acompounded annual growth rate of 33% in earnings beforeinterest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation and 31% in pre-tax profit from 2001 to 2010. Over the same period, we have
delivered total annualised shareholder returns of 37% since ourinitial public offer.
Over that 10-year period, we have experienced fast-track growth.We have steadily strengthened our business model, grown in sizeand profitability, and expanded globally.
In 2001, we had only two main markets Singapore and China but have since expanded into Southeast Asia, India and theMiddle East and North Africa (MENA) region. From a player inthe industrial space for water, we have progressed to become a
major player in the municipal water business. Today, municipalsales account for 90% of our Group revenue. From integrating
To take the Group forward into the next decade, we will continue toexpand our in-house capabilities in anticipation of the global trends andrequirements of the water industry.

membrane systems in industrial plants, we havebeen named one of the dominant desalinationproviders in the world by the Global WaterIntelligence (GWI), the leading informationservice for the international water industry.
To take the Group forward into the next decade,we will continue to expand our in-housecapabilities in anticipation of the global trendsand requirements of the water industry. Hence
we took the strategic decision to enhance ourhuman capital to ensure that we have the rightpeople with the right expertise and right skills togrow the business, and to meet the increasingdemand from our customers worldwide.
In this respect, we took steps to:
Enhance our management bench strength;
Raise our project management expertisebeyond civil and structural works to
marine engineering;
Broaden our engineering and processknow-how to include power generationand management; and
Expand our financial management andmarket development expertise.
We strongly believe that by expanding ourcapabilities in these areas, we stand in goodstead to ride the uptrend in our key markets andto penetrate into the Integrated Water and PowerProject (IWPP) segment.
RIDING ON ORDER BOOK MOMENTUM
Over the first quarter of FY2011, we have beenable to ride on the momentum of order bookgrowth in Singapore and China.
In March 2011, we were named the preferred
bidder for the design, build, own and operatecontract for Singapores second seawaterdesalination plant by PUB, the nationalwater agency. Hyflux will supply water toPUB for a concession period of 25 years. At318,500 m3 daily capacity, it is Singaporeslargest desalination plant. This project, worthapproximately S$890 million, is also Hyfluxslargest contract to date. It is a testament of ourability to put together an innovative, competitive
and cost-effective solution incorporatingproject financing, our proprietary membranetechnology, our engineering, procurement andconstruction and operations and maintenanceexpertise to meet the requirements of ourclient. To enhance the operational cost-efficiencyof the plant, we will build an on-site 411MWcombined cycle gas turbine power plant whichwill provide an uninterruptible supply of goodquality, clean energy to the desalination plant.
When completed, this landmark project will beour springboard into the IWPP segment.
Our Group also scored project successesin China. Our subsidiaries in China signedconcession agreements to develop, own andoperate two wastewater treatment plants anda water treatment plant in Hechuan District,Chongqing City and a wastewater treatmentplant in Zunyi City, Guizhou. The projects carryconcession periods of 30 years.
FOCUSING ON ASIA
We will increase our focus on Asia, in particularChina, to balance our growth strategy.
We expect Asia to be the dominant revenuedriver in the next few years for two reasons.First, we are directing more resources in Asia togrow our revenues in China, Southeast Asia andIndia and this has started to yield results with

our recent contracts from China and Singapore.Second, the two large-scale desalination plantsthat Hyflux is developing in Tlemcen and Magtaain Algeria are near the close of the construction
phases. The former has been completed, whilewe have crossed the three-quarter mark onconstruction of the latter.
We see a new urgency in China to address itswater needs on all fronts from infrastructuredevelopment to addressing drought, waterpollution, water conservation and pricing ofwater and this urgency permeates throughall levels of government. We continue to haveconfidence in the potential of the municipal water
sector of China.We will continue to leverage on our knowledgeof the Chinese market built from more than15 years of experience in the country. Our jointventure platforms with Mitsui & Co and JGCCorporation will provide us the added flexibilityto pursue the opportunities in the Chinesewater market.
The political upheavals currently unfolding inMENA do not change the fundamental need
for water in the region, and demand for cleansafe water can only be expected to grow.Notwithstanding the prevailing risks involvedin investing in MENA countries, they remainlong-term compelling markets for Hyflux giventhe vast opportunities for wastewater recyclingand seawater desalination solutions. These arewhere our core strengths lie, and where we canleverage on our fully-integrated capabilities to addvalue and to deliver water at affordable prices.
ENSURING WATER SECURITY
Moving forward, we will continue to driveoperational excellence in all aspects of ourbusiness and plant operations and to continue
to invest in technologies that are relevant andcost-effective for our customers. With ourexpanding portfolio of water projects across theworld, we will also need to manage our assetsmore efficiently and to create higher returns forour Group.
At Hyflux, we believe that what we do on a dailybasis can impact the lives of the communitiesthat we operate in. In this aspect, we partnerboth the public and private sectors to provide
reliable long-term solutions to the challenges ofwater scarcity and water pollution.
For Hyflux, the water business is about makingclean, safe water accessible and affordable, andwe want to play an integral role as well in helpingnations and communities achieve water security.
Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors,I would like to thank our shareholders, partners,customers and suppliers for their supportthrough the years.
I would also like to thank our committedemployees, without whom there would be noHyflux of today.

However, risks remain that could impact our growth eventhough risk appetite has recovered significantly fromthe lows in 2008. China's recent tightening measuresand the debt crisis in the Eurozone will continue to reinin optimism and risk appetite. In addition, fluctuations inforeign exchange rates and commodity prices will impactour financial performance, as well as recent changes inthe political climate in MENA. Projects in Libya are likelyto be delayed in view of current developments.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Raw materials and consumables used andsubcontractors costs decreased by 2% from S$309.4million for FY2009 to S$303.0 million for FY2010 due tocost management measures.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Shareholders equity expanded to a record S$502.5million as at 31 December 2010 from S$365.2 millionas at 31 December 2009. The increase was mainlyattributable to the changes in share capital arising fromthe issue of shares under the Employees Share OptionScheme (the Scheme) and Warrant SubscriptionAgreement and Supplemental Warrant SubscriptionAgreement (Agreements) for FY2010. Net profit inFY2010 further boosted our equity base.
Current assets rose to S$693.7 million as at 31 December
2010 from S$549.1 million as at 31 December 2009, whichwas mainly due to increases in amounts due for contractwork and cash and fixed deposits.
Non-current assets increased to S$666.0 millionas at 31 December 2010 from S$523.4 million as at31 December 2009. Property, plant and equipmentand financial receivables increased by S$20.9million and S$70.2 million respectively. The increasewas offset by the lower trade and other receivablesfor trade amounts due from associates as well asinvestments in associates.
Current liabilities decreased slightly to S$315.9 millionas at 31 December 2010 from S$317.9 million as at31 December 2009, mainly due to the decreases intrade-related payables during the financial year.
Non-current liabilities increased to S$529.2 millionas at 31 December 2010 from S$361.3 million as at31 December 2009, resulting mainly from the increasein bank borrowings during the financial year to supportgroup expansion and investment activities. Includedin the financial liabilities as at 31 December 2010was S$222.8 million of fixed rate unsecured notes(Notes) issued under our Multicurrency Debt IssuanceProgramme. The Notes will mature in 2012 and 2015.
Our net gearing ratio as at 31 December 2010 stood at0.73 times.
CASHFLOW AND LIQUIDITY
Hyfluxs cash position increased to S$222.3 millionas at 31 December 2010 from S$166.7 million as at31 December 2009.
In 2010, net cash of S$49.5 million was used in ouroperating activities, mainly towards working capitalrequirements. Cash used in investing activities for thefinancial year was largely for capital expenditure ofproperty, plant and equipment and intangible assets tosupport our expansion, including investments in jointventures and associates.

ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND
CONSTRUCTION (EPC)
2010 saw further progress in our two large-scaledesalination projects in Algeria. Our project in Souk Tletain Tlemcen, with a designed capacity of 200,000 m3/day,has been completed and is awaiting clients readiness,while good progress was made at our Magtaa project,which is 80% complete. At 500,000 m3/day, it will be theworlds largest seawater reverse osmosis desalinationplant when completed in 2011.
During the year, Hyflux secured a number of EPC
contracts, including two projects in Singapore. The firstwas a S$35.8 million contract for Singapores largestmembrane bioreactor (MBR) at the Jurong WaterReclamation Plant for PUB, the countrys national wateragency. The second contract, valued at S$43.8 million,was for the first stage development of a 182,000 m3/daydesalination plant for Tuas Powers Tembusu Multi-Utilities
Complex on Jurong Island. We were also awarded aUS$100 million turnkey contract by the Libyan Ministryof Utilities, to build a 40,000 m3/day seawater reverseosmosis desalination plant in Tobruk, Libya. However, dueto the heightened tensions in the country, we believe thatthe project will be delayed. We have no investments inLibya as work on the desalination plant in Tobruk has notbegun and we have removed the US$100 million contractfor Tobruk from the computation of the Groups orderbook pending new developments.
To date, our projects in Algeria and Oman are progressing
as planned and have not faced any disruptions.
In the first quarter of 2011, Hyflux's subsidiaries inChina were awarded concession agreements wortha total of US$76 million by the Peoples Governmentof Chongqing City, Hechuan District and the PeoplesGovernment of Zunyi City. Hyflux will develop a water

Hexin District Wastewater Treatment Plant andWeituo Wastewater Treatment Plant, each witha treatment capacity of 20,000 m3/day will processwastewater for the industrial park; and
Weituo Water Treatment Plant will tap water fromupstream Jialing River to produce up to 50,000 m3/dayof potable water for industrial and domestic use.
At Zunyi City in north Guizhou province, Hyflux willdevelop a wastewater treatment plant to treat up to150,000 m3/day of domestic wastewater. These projectscarry concession periods of 30 years.
In addition, we were named the "preferred bidder" byPUB to design, build, own and operate Singaporessecond seawater desalination plant for a concessionperiod of 25 years. With a daily capacity of 318,500 m3,the facility will be Singapores largest desalination plant.The project, worth approximately S$890 million, is also
Hyfluxs largest contract to date. To enhance operationalcost efficiency, Hyflux will build a 411MW combinedcycle gas turbine power plant to supply energy tothe desalination plant. Construction is expected tocommence in the fourth quarter of 2011 after the waterpurchase agreement is signed with PUB and financialclose is achieved. When completed, this landmarkproject will sharpen our competitive edge for large-scaleinternational seawater desalination projects in our keymarkets and be our springboard into the integrated waterand power project (IWPP) segment.
This accelerating order book momentum brings ourEPC order book to a strong S$1.3 billion at the endof March 2011.

GEOGRAPHICAL MARKETS
China
The Chinese market represented 26% or S$150.8million of Group revenue in FY2010.
China presents tremendous opportunities for Hyflux and
we intend to increase our focus in the coming years. Thecountry recently outlined in a central policy document itsplans to intensify investments in water projects as wellas to promote water conservation and sustainable use ofthe scarce resource. This is the first time the documenthas focused on water conservation, a reflection ofthe urgency the government sees in boosting Chinaswater security. Hyflux is confident of the prospects themunicipal sector offers and the potential for tariff growth.
Middle East North Africa (MENA)
The MENA region accounted for 60% or S$343.8million of Group revenue in FY2010 with the progress inthe Souk Tleta and Magtaa seawater desalination plantsin Algeria and the seawater desalination facility at theSalalah IWPP in Oman.
Souk Tleta Desalination Plant, Algeria
Notwithstanding the prevailing risks involved in investing inMENA, the region remains a compelling market for Hyfluxin the long-term as the fundamentals for water solutionslike desalination and water reuse remain strong.
Singapore and Others
Singapore and other markets accounted for 14% orS$75.1 million of Group revenue in FY2010. Our homemarket saw a significant increase in activity in 2010 withthe development of two projects we had won in the firstquarter of the year Singapores largest MBR plant atthe Jurong Water Reclamation Plant and the first stagedevelopment of a desalination plant for Tuas Powers
Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex.Markets such as Southeast Asia and India, where wehave been undertaking small industrial projects, havecontributed modestly to the Groups revenue, but areexpected to become significant over time as we directmore resources to capture the growth opportunitiesahead. As more countries across the region put in placeconcerted plans to improve water infrastructure andenhance their water security, attractive opportunities willopen up for Hyflux to provide innovative, cost-effectiveand environmentally responsible solutions in seawaterdesalination, water recycling, wastewater treatment andpotable water treatment.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Access to water of adequate quality and quantitycontinues to be one of the major challenges confrontingmodern society. Many people do not have access tosafe drinking water because water resources are limitedor polluted by domestic and industrial wastewater.This situation is expected to become more critical withrapid population growth, increasing urbanisation andindustrialisation, ageing water infrastructure and climatechange, especially in regions with scarce natural waterresources. To meet these challenges, comprehensivewater policies as well as investments are required toimplement and enforce effluent discharge standards,improve water efficiency and quality, promote waterconservation and tariff reforms, and upgrade and expandwater infrastructure.
Industry estimates put the size of the global water marketat over US$480 billion in 2010. Of this, US$175 billionwas for municipal and industrial water and wastewatercapital expenditure. While the financial crisis caused adecrease in water capital expenditure growth and delaysin large infrastructure projects, global water capitalexpenditure is still expected to grow at a compoundedannual growth rate of 6.2% in the period 2010 to
2016. The annual total global capital expenditure ondesalination is also projected to rise from US$6 billion in2010 to US$18.3 billion in 2016, a compounded annualgrowth rate of 20.4%.
In China, a key market where Hyflux has more than 40water projects, the government has announced that itwould make water conservation and sustainable wateruse a national priority. The country aims to doubleits average annual spending on water conservationover the next 10 years from RMB200 billion in 2010
to RMB400 billion, investing a total of RMB4 trillion(US$608 billion) in projects during the next decade.This will be supplemented by other measures includinggovernment funding, higher water tariffs to control waterconsumption and the implementation of targets for thequantity of water consumed, efficiency of water useand water pollution levels for which local governmentofficials will be held accountable. We will leverage onour knowledge of the Chinese market cultivated frommore than 15 years of experience in the country and ourjoint ventures with Mitsui & Co and JGC Corporation topursue the opportunities in China.
By building on our corecapabilities and leveragingon our proprietary membranetechnologies and fi nancialplatform, Hyfl ux has created acompetitive advantage that hasenabled us to achieve strong
growth and a leading positionin the water industry.We are ranked one of the worlds top desalinationsuppliers by contracted capacity and Build-Own-Transfer / Build-Own-Operate desalination capacityaccording to Global Water Intelligence. As waterscarcity becomes an increasingly grave issue forcommunities and industries, we seek to play an integralrole in helping countries enhance their water security.
