XXI. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of embodying economic benefits of resources will be required to settle a reliably assessable obligation. Provisions are determined based on best estimate required to settle each obligation at each Balance Sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discountedusinga currentpre-taxratethatreflects,when appropriate, the risks specifictotheliability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. A contingent liability also arises, in rare cases, where a liability cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingentassetsareneither recognisednordisclosed in the financial statements.

2) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure of the financial assetsare contributedby trade receivables,cashandcashequivalentsandreceivablesfrom group companies.

3) Liquidity risk

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's management is to maximise shareholders value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjustthe capital structure, the Company may issue new shares. Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors its capital using the gearing ratio which is total net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital of the Company.
Gearing Ratio
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the borrowingsthatdefinethe capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting thefinancialcovenantswould permit the lenders to immediately call loans and borrowings.
