12 Kobay Technology Bhd. (Company No.: 308279-A) • Annual Report 2010
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present to you the Annual Report and Financial Statements of Kobay Technology Bhd. for the financial year ended 30 June 2010.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the financial period under review, business conditions were extremely challenging in first half of the financial year due to the 2008/2009 global financial and economic meltdown, worst-ever of the century, with recoveries in the second half of 2010 through strong, well coordinated monetary and fiscal policies adopted by world major economies.
Despite the difficult and challenging times, for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, the Group reported a net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company of RM1.4 million with a revenue of RM81.8 million as compared to a net profit and revenue of RM1.6 million and RM56.0 million respectively for the year ended 30 June 2009.
The increase in revenue of RM25.8 million (45.8%) was mainly due to increased contribution by Lipo Corporation Berhad, a 52.09% owned subsidiary listed on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and the inclusion of results of newly acquired companies, namely Microhandling Asia Pte. Ltd. and KWH Technologies Sdn. Bhd..
Although higher revenue was recorded, the Group’s net profit was lower by RM0.2 million as compared to preceding year. The decrease was mainly due to profit contribution from Lipo Group and others were off set by loss in oil & gas division.
However, the Group has managed to preserve the cash resources in crisis time and retained a healthy balance sheet. Our net assets per share attributable to shareholders as at 30 June 2010 stood at RM1.56, with a cash balance of RM49.1 million or cash per share of RM0.72.
OPERATION REVIEW
The Group’s major business units, namely precision components division (under Lipo Corporation Berhad Group of companies), precision tooling & mould division, automation division and oil & gas division had experienced a mixed fortune in their business operations during the financial year under the review.
For precision components division, it has performed well and contributed more than half of the Group’s revenue and net profit. The division provides ultra high precision component parts and mechanical parts assembly to various industries such as semiconductor, telecommunication, electronics and others. During the financial year, it had experience slow business in first quarter in continuation of the effect of global financial crisis. However, business sentiments started to improve from second quarter onwards as the world economy recovered and the division received increasing orders from multinational corporations as a result of replenishment for depleting inventory. The incoming orders remained steady throughout three quarters of the financial year. The diversification of customer base and strategy in providing one stop solution engineering needs for customers have started to show result. The division has managed to move upwards in customers’ supply value chain and contributed to the positive results.
For precision tooling & mould division, the division has contributed positively towards the Group’s profit. During the year, the division has reviewed its manpower structure and applied lean management in the production activities to manage costs. It has successfully secured die sets and mould orders from key customers which have better margin as compared to tooling parts. The division’s business was lying low in the first two quarters of the year and recovered from third quarters onwards.
For oil & gas division which provides heavy machining and fabrication for oil and gas industry particularly subsea structure, it did not perform and incurred losses during the financial year. The division did not receive major orders from oil industry players due to holding back of new capital expenditures on projects, coupled with high overhead costs have affected the division’s bottom line. Nevertheless, during the difficult year, the division has embarked on securing new customers and has successfully qualified as approved suppliers for a few oil majors. A new production plant has been constructed on the Johor land which was acquired in 2009 and has started commissioning operations. With the new production space at the 4 hectares land, we are ready to cater for projects of bigger size sub-sea oil extraction structure. Towards the end of financial year, the division has received encouraging incoming orders from oil industry players and we believe it has bright prospects ahead.
During the year, the Group has acquired a 59.9% equity interest in KWH Technologies Sdn. Bhd. which involves in provision of mechanical engineering, maintenance and shut down works for the oil & gas and power sectors. This is a further expansion of the Group’s businesses into oil & gas related industry.
The automation division did not fair well either. The division’s venture into providing automation solutions for solar energy sector has met with obstacles as the customer working with was having business reorganisation and ownership restructuring and did not turn in repeat orders. However, our investment in Singapore by strategic alliance with foreign partners on automation business in supply chain management has started to yield results. The company has produced an impressive result for the first year in operations.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (cont’d)
OUTLOOK AND PROSPECT
There are signs that the global economy is shifting towards recovery phase through coordinated policies and stimulus packages executed by the governments around the world. However, high level of sovereign debts and timing of stimulus exit are the main concerns affecting the outlook of global economy.
For the outlook of semiconductor industry, in Semiconductor Industry Association’s annual forecast of global semiconductor sales, it has projected sales will grow by 10.2% to USD242.1 billion in 2010 and by 8.4% to USD262.3 billion in 2011. According to the press release, the unit sales of key demand drivers including PCs and cell phone have been stronger than previously predicted and cautiously optimistic for the longer term. The current forecast is closely tied to projections of continuing improvement in the worldwide economy.
Although the worst global economic meltdown ever faced by the Group since inception has subsided, the journey ahead for the Group is challenging in view of the fragile world economy conditions, uncertainties and the competitive business environment surrounding the industries we are dealing with.
We will manage these challenges with close monitoring of business units’ Key Performance Indicators, implementing sales order, stock and debt management, budgetary and cost control programs. To further bond with our customers and foster good relationships, innovative and compelling solution and fast respond time will be our strategies in providing value-added and satisfied services to our customers.
Moving forward, we will stay focus on industries we are comfortable with, expanding our customer base to mitigate the effect of over reliance of single industry sector. In this respect, our precision components division has obtained certification for Aerospace Quality Management System, AS9100:2004 and is ready to venture into aerospace industry. It is also moving into modular assembly for higher end products which has a better margin.
The Group is continuously engaged with foreign potential customers to promote our production capabilities and market our products through participation of events conducted by government agencies in matching local manufacturers with overseas partners.
The Group recognises the importance of investing in the future. We will continuously explore for good business opportunity to strengthen our income base and diversify into different industries to cushion off impact of the ups and downs of economic cycle.

BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS

CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the financial statements of Kobay Technology Bhd. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) set out on pages 40 to 83, which comprise the balance sheets as at 30 June 2010, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia (“the Act”). This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 our 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, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’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 Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, 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.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Act so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Company as at 30 June 2010 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended.

The management foresees that the initial application of the above FRSs and IC Interpretations will not have any significant impacts on the financial statements except as follows:
Amendments to FRS 117 Leases
Included in Improvements to FRSs (2009) are amendments to FRS 117 which clarify that the classification of leasehold land as a finance lease or an operating lease shall be based on the extent to which risks and rewards incidental to ownership lie. In accordance with the transitional provisions of the amendments, the Group will reassess the classification of leasehold land on the effective date and make the necessary reclassification, if any, retrospectively.
FRS 3 Business Combinations (revised in 2010)
FRS 3 (revised in 2010), which supersedes FRS 3 Business Combinations (issued in 2005), introduces significant changes to the accounting for business combinations, both at the acquisition date and post acquisition, and requires greater use of fair values. In addition, all acquisition-related costs, other than the costs to issue debt or equity securities, shall be expensed as incurred. In accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS 3 (revised in 2010), the Group and the Company will apply this FRS prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the effective date.
FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
By virtue of the exemptions given by FRS 7 and FRS 139, the impacts on the financial statements upon initial application of these FRSs (and the amendments thereto) are not disclosed.
FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised in 2009)
FRS 101 (revised in 2009), which supersedes FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised in 2005), affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and comprehensive income. It requires an entity to present all owner changes in equity in a statement of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity (i.e. comprehensive income) are required to be presented in one statement of comprehensive income or two statements (a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income). FRS 101 (revised in 2009) also changes the titles of the financial statements to reflect their function more closely, for example, the titles “balance sheet” and “cash flow statement” are renamed as “statement of financial position” and “statement of cash flows” respectively.

2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements (cont’d)
FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised in 2010)
FRS 127 (revised in 2010), which supersedes FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised in 2005), requires the total comprehensive income of a subsidiary to be attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The revised standard also requires the changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control to be accounted for as equity transactions. In accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS 127 (revised in 2010), the aforementioned amendments will be applied prospectively.
2.2 Basis of Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year using the purchase method. The results of the subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. Intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary acquired at the acquisition date represents goodwill. Goodwill is recognised as an asset at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. When the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary acquired at the acquisition date exceeds the cost of acquisition, the excess (hereinafter referred to as “negative goodwill”), after reassessment, is recognised in the income statement.
2.3 Financial Instruments
Recognised Financial Instruments
The accounting policies for recognised financial instruments are disclosed in the individual policies associated with each item.
Unrecognised Financial Instruments
The Group and the Company do not have any unrecognised financial instruments.
Fair Values
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with short maturity periods are assumed to approximate their fair values.
The fair values of quoted investments are estimated based on quoted market prices.
The fair values of long-term receivables are estimated based on the present values of future cash flows discounted using the prevailing market interest rates.

2.4 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or at valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The last revaluation of certain buildings was made in 1997 and has not been updated. The Group has followed the transitional provisions of IAS 16 (Revised) Property, Plant and Equipment issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board to retain the carrying amounts of the assets on the basis of their previous revaluation subject to continuity in their depreciation and impairment policies.
A revaluation increase is credited to equity as revaluation surplus or recognised as income in the income statement to the extent that the increase reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised as an expense. A revaluation decrease is recognised as an expense in the income statement or debited against any related revaluation surplus to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation surplus of that asset.
Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the following annual rates:
Buildings 2 %Building improvement and renovation 2-33 %Factory machinery, moulds and equipment 9-20 %Furniture, fittings, office equipment and computer software 9-33 %Tools and accessories 10 %Motor vehicles 10-20 %
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method of an asset are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date and any changes in expectations from previous estimates are accounted for prospectively as changes in accounting estimates.
2.5 Prepaid Lease Payments
The upfront payments for a lease of land under an operating lease are recognised as prepaid lease payments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.6 Land Held for Property Development
Land held for property development is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
2.7 Investments
Subsidiaries
As required by the Companies Act 1965, the Company prepares separate financial statements in addition to the consolidated financial statements. In the separate financial statements of the Company, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any.
Other Investments
Other investments in shares, unit trusts and bond are stated at cost and accounted for using settlement date accounting. An allowance for diminution in value is made when there is a decline other than temporary in the value of the investment. The decline is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is identified.

2.8 Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intellectual property is amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
2.9 Non-current Assets Held for Sale
A non-current asset is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initial classification as held for sale, the carrying amount of the relevant asset is measured in accordance with applicable FRSs. Upon classification as held for sale, the asset, other than financial assets within the scope of FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any initial or subsequent write-down to, or any subsequent increase in, fair value less costs to sell is recognised in the income statement.
2.10 Impairment of Assets
The carrying amounts of assets, other than deferred tax assets, inventories, financial assets within the scope of FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and non-current assets classified as held for sale, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that an item of asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, is estimated. Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, goodwill is tested for impairment annually. Any excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its recoverable amount represents an impairment loss and is recognised as an expense in the income statement.
An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and it is reversed only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement. An impairment loss of goodwill is not reversed.
2.11 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined principally on the first-in, first-out basis) and net realisable value. Cost consists of all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
2.12 Receivables
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date.
2.13 Payables
Payables are recognised at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

2.14 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements of the Company are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is also the Company’s functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Items included in the financial statements of each individual entity within the Group are measured using the individual entity’s own functional currency.
A foreign currency transaction is recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate at transaction date. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into the functional currency using the closing rate. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at cost are translated using the exchange rate at transaction date whereas those measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rate at valuation date. Exchange differences arising from the settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement. Any exchange component of the gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised on the same basis as that of the gain or loss, i.e. directly in equity or in the income statement.
In translating the financial position and results of an entity whose functional currency is not the required presentation currency, i.e. Ringgit Malaysia, assets and liabilities are translated into the presentation currency using the closing rate whereas income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the financial year. All resulting exchange differences are recognised directly in equity. Any goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation to be expressed in its functional currency and translated into the presentation currency using the closing rate.
2.15 Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of new shares are accounted for as a deduction from equity.
Own shares purchased are held as Treasury Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 67A of the Companies Act 1965. The total amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is debited to equity.
Dividends on shares declared and unpaid at the balance sheet date are recognised as a liability whereas dividends proposed or declared after the balance sheet date are disclosed by way of note to the financial statements.
2.16 Income Recognition
Income from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.
Income from the rendering of services is recognised when the services are performed.
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis.

2.17 Income Taxes
Income taxes for the year comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax represents the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided for under the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base except for those temporary differences associated with goodwill, negative goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable results at the time of the transaction.
A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences whereas a deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
2.18 Grants
Grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to the grants and that the grants will be received. Grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Grants related to assets are presented in the balance sheet as deferred income which is amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Grants related to income are presented under “other income” in the income statement.
2.19 Employee Benefits
Short-term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the associated services are rendered by the employee.
Defined Contribution Plans
As required by law, employers in Malaysia make contributions to the state pension scheme, Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the associated services are rendered by the employee.
Equity Compensation Benefits
The Employees’ Share Option Schemes (“ESOSs”) of the Company and a subsidiary grant the Group’s eligible employees options to subscribe for shares in the Company and the subsidiary at pre-determined subscription prices. These equity compensation benefits are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period as share option reserve. The total amount to be recognised is determined by reference to the fair value of the share options at grant date and the estimated number of share options expected to vest on vesting date.
2.20 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, term deposits (excluding those pledged as security), bank overdrafts and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Critical Judgements
In the process of applying the accounting policies of the Group and the Company, the management makes the following judgements that can significantly affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
(i) Allowance for Inventories
Reviews are made periodically by the management on inventories for excess inventories, obsolescence and decline in net realisable value below cost. These reviews require the use of judgements and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories.
(ii) Allowance for Doubtful Debts
The Group and the Company make allowance for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of receivables. Allowance is applied to receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be recoverable. The management specifically analyses historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful debts. Where expectations are different from previous estimates, the difference will impact on the carrying amounts of receivables.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
(i) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The management estimates the useful lives to be within 3 to 50 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development will impact on the economic useful lives and residual values of the assets and therefore, future depreciation charges may be revised.
(ii) Impairment of Assets
When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on its value in use, estimates on future cash flows and appropriate discount rate are required to determine the present value of those cash flows.
(iii) Income Taxes
There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be different from the initial estimates. The Group and the Company recognise tax liabilities based on their understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts initially recognised, the difference will impact on the tax provisions in the period in which the outcome is determined.

provided always that it is in accordance with any prevailing guidelines issued by the Securities Commission (“SC”) or any other relevant authorities as amended from time to time.

23. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Group
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Group’s net profit for the financial year attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year as follows:
2010 2009
Net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company (RM) 1,411,460 1,663,238
Weighted average number of shares in issue 67,352,550 67,352,550
Basic earnings per share (sen) 2.10 2.47
The diluted earnings per share equals the basic earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the share options which has been ignored in calculating the diluted earnings per share.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The activities of the Group expose it to certain financial risks, including currency risk, price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall financial risk management objective of the Group is to maximise shareholders’ value by minimising the potential adverse impacts of these risks on its financial position, performance and cash flows.
The Board of Directors explicitly assumes the responsibilities of financial risk management which is carried out mainly through risk reviews and internal control systems.
Currency Risk
The Group’s exposure to currency risk arises mainly from transactions entered into by individual entities within the Group in currencies other than their functional currencies.
The Group monitors the movements of exchange rates and acts accordingly to minimise its exposure to currency risk. Such exposure is also partly mitigated in the following ways:
(i) The Group’s foreign currency sales and purchases provide a natural hedge against fluctuations in foreign currencies.
(ii) The Group maintains part of its cash and cash equivalents in foreign currency accounts to meet future obligations in foreign currencies.
Price Risk
The Group’s exposure to price risk arises mainly from quoted investments.
The Group manages its exposure to price risk by evaluating investment opportunities, continuously monitoring investment performance and assessing market risk relevant to which the investment operates.
Credit Risk
The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises mainly from receivables. The maximum credit risk exposure is best represented by the total carrying amount of these financial assets in the balance sheet.
The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by assessing counter parties’ financial standings on an ongoing basis, setting and monitoring counter parties’ limits and credit terms. The Group does not have any significant concentration of credit risk relating to any individual customer or counter party.
Liquidity Risk
The Group practises prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through certain committed credit facilities.
