Independent auditor’s report
For the financial year ended 31 December 2018
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of TES-AMM (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (the “Company”), which
comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2018, the statement of comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement of the Company for the year then ended, and
notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”) and Financial Reporting Standards in
Singapore (“FRSs”) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at
31 December 2018 and of the financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in
accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional
Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA
Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Other information
Management is responsible for other information. The other information comprises general
information and directors’ statement set out on pages 1 to 2.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report
in this regard.
Independent auditor’s report
For the financial year ended 31 December 2018
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with the provisions of the Act and FRSs, and for devising and maintaining a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that
they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to
maintain accountability of assets.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company have
been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

1. Corporate information
TES-AMM (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (the Company) is a private limited company incorporated
and domiciled in Singapore. The immediate and ultimate holding company is
TES-Envirocorp Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in the Republic of Singapore.
The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is located at No. 9,
Benoi Sector, Singapore 629844.
The principal activities of the Company are those relating to recycling of metal waste and
scrap and other non-metal waste. There has been no significant change in the nature of
these activities during the year.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Singapore
Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”).
As at 31 December 2018 the Company’s current liabilities exceeds its current assets by
$9,000,853 (2017: $8,657,958). Excluding the dividend payable of S$9,574,035, the
Company will be in a net current asset position of S$573,182. The financial statements of the
Company have been prepared on a going concern basis because the holding company has
agreed to provide continuing financial support to the Company to meet its liabilities as and
when they fall due.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year
except in the current financial year, the Company has adopted all the new and revised
Standards and Interpretations of FRS (“INT FRS”) that are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The adoption of these standards and interpretations
did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Company.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
The Company has not adopted the following standards that have been issued but not yet
effective:
Effective for annual
periods beginning
Description on or after
Except for FRS 116, the directors expect that the adoption of the other standards above will
have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. The
nature of the impending changes in accounting policy on adoption of FRS 116 are described
below.
FRS 116 requires lessees to recognise most leases on balance sheets to reflect the rights to
use the leased assets and the associated obligations for lease payments as well as the
corresponding interest expense and depreciation charges. The standard includes two
recognition exemption for lessees – leases of ‘low value’ assets and short-term leases. The
new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard and plans to adopt the
new standard on the required effective date. The Company expects the adoption of the new
standard will result in increase in total assets and total liabilities, EBITDA and gearing ratio.
Functional currency
The management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Company operates i.e. functional currency, to be Singapore dollars (“SGD”).
Revenue and major costs are primarily influenced by fluctuations in SGD.
Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the functional currency of the Company
and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency at exchange rates
approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of
the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial
transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured.
2.5 Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee
when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Principles of consolidation
The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary companies, details of which are stated
in Note 6 to the financial statements are not consolidated as the Company is a wholly-owned
subsidiary company of TES-Envirocorp Pte. Ltd. (“TES”), a company incorporated in
Singapore. TES, which is located at No. 9, Benoi Sector, Singapore 629844, prepares the
consolidated financial statements, inclusive of the subsidiaries of the Company, which are
filed with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority in Singapore.
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to
recognition, property, plant and equipment other than freehold land and buildings are
measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and
borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying property, plant and equipment. The cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably.
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in
intervals, the Company recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives
and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is
recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the
recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in
profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets
as follows:
Leasehold land and building - Over the remaining period of the lease term
Plant and machinery - 10 years
Leasehold improvements - 5 years
Furniture, fittings & equipment - 5 years
Motor vehicles - 5 years
Workshop tools - 5 years
Assets under construction included in property, plant and equipment are not depreciated as
these assets are not yet available for use.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial
year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on de-recognition
of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. Following initial
acquisition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised
development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the year
in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over the estimated useful lives and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be
impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each
financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of
consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing
the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting
estimates.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use are tested for
impairment annually, or more frequently if the events and circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Such
intangible assets are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite
useful life is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to
be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a
prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are
recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
2.8 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
From financial year 2017, the company has decided to change the policy for the valuation of
its inventory from actual cost to standard cost. Together with the implementation of a new
ERP system, applying this new accounting policy will enable unit costing to be made
available and thus provide more reliable and relevant information to aid decision-making. No
material impact on the valuation of the inventory was noted had the company continue to use
actual costing.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
Where necessary, allowance is provided for damaged, obsolete and slow moving items to
adjust the carrying value of inventories to the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset
may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when an annual impairment testing for an asset
is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value
less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless
the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other
assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to
be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are
taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate
valuation model is used.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that
previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such
indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable
amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change
in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment
loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its
recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such
reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in
which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of
borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or
sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs
are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale. All
other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of
interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
Financial assets are recognised when, and only when the entity becomes party to
the contractual provisions of the instruments.
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in
the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction
costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in
profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement
Amortised cost
Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where
those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured
at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss when the assets are derecognised or impaired, and through
amortisation process.
De-recognition
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows
from the asset has expired. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the
difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received
and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive
income is recognised in profit or loss.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Company becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company
determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial
liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through
profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities
are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
De-recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in
the balance sheets, when and only when, there is a currently enforceable legal right
to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or
to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt
instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference
between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash
flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original
effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses
that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL).
For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised for credit losses expected over the
remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs.
Therefore, the company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a
provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for
forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
The Company consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information
indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full
before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset
is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash
flows.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits and
short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.14 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be
required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of
money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
2.15 Leases
For arrangements entered into prior to 1 January 2005, the date of inception is deemed to be
1 January 2005 in accordance with the transitional requirements of INT FRS 104.
As lessee
2.16 Revenue
Revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered to the customer and all criteria for
acceptance have been satisfied.
The amount of revenue recognised is based on the transaction price, which comprises the
contractual price, net of the discounts. Based on the Company’s experience with
similar types of contracts, there are no significant variable considerations.
Revenue from processing fee is recognised when the services are rendered.
The Company participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of
the countries in which it has operations. In particular, the Company makes
contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, a defined
contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension
schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is
performed.
2.18 Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Current income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax
relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in
the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are
subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the
end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:
Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or
of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and,
at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable
profit or loss; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry
forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable
that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can
be utilised except:
Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is
not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting
period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future
taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
each reporting period.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside
profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred
tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are off setted, if a legally enforceable
right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities
and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the
criteria for separate recognition at that date, would be recognised subsequently if
new information about facts and circumstances changed. The adjustment would
either be treated as a reduction to goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if
it is incurred during the measurement period or in profit or loss.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised excluding of sales tax except:
Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax
included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted
against share capital.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.20 Contingencies
(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the Company; or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
(ii) The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will
be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the Company.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised on the balance sheet of the Company,
except for contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are present
obligations and which the fair values can be reliably determined.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the end of the reporting period are discussed below. The Company based its assumptions
and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements was prepared. Existing
circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to
market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes
are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Income taxes
Significant judgement is involved in determining the Company provision for income taxes.
There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognises liabilities for
expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the
final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised,
such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which
such determination is made.
The carrying amount of the deferred tax liability as at 31 December 2018 is $627,560 (2017:
$627,560).

25. Financial risk management objective and policies
The Company is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risks include interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and
foreign currency risk. The Director reviews and agrees to policies and procedures for the
management of these risks. The Company does not apply hedge accounting.
The following sections provide details regarding the Company’s exposure to the
above-mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the
management of these risks.
There has been no change to the Company’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner
in which it manages and measures the risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s
financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The
Company’s policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available. The
Company exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from the loans and
borrowings to the bank, through it holding company.
At the end of the reporting period, if SGD interest rates had been 75 (2017: 75) basis
points lower/higher with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit net of
tax would have been $137,600 (2017: $137,600) higher/lower, arising mainly as a
result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings.
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments
should a counterparty default on its obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit
risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets
(including cash and cash equivalents), the Company minimise credit risk by dealing
exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset
and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis
throughout each reporting period.
The Company determined that its financial assets are credit-impaired when:
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery,
such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. Where
loans and receivables have been written off, the company continues to engage
enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are
made, these are recognised in profit or loss.
At the balance sheet date, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is
represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in
the balance sheet.

At the balance sheet date, approximately 59% (2017: 34%) of the Company’s trade
receivables were due from 1 major customer.
Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors
with good payment record with the Company. Cash and short-term deposits are
placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions.
Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is
disclosed in trade receivables (Note 8).
25. Financial risk management objective and policies (cont’d)
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial
obligations due to shortage of funds. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises
primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The
Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and
flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.
To manage liquidity risk, the Company monitors its net operating cash flows,
maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and secured trading facilities from
financial institutions. Short-term funding is obtained through bank overdrafts and
short-term facilities.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial
assets/liabilities at the balance sheet date based on contractual undiscounted
repayment obligations.

The Company has transactional currency exposures which arise from sales or
purchases that are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. The
foreign currencies in which these transactions are denominated are mainly United
States Dollar (USD). Such exposures are kept to an acceptable level by using
natural hedges arising from matching assets and liabilities, or sale and purchase in
the same currencies, and monitoring to ensure the exposure is minimised.
If the USD, Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”), Pound Sterling (“GBP”), Australian Dollar
(“AUD”) and Japanese Yen (“JPY”) change against the functional currency of the
Company as at 31 December 2018 by 5% with all other variables including tax rate

At the end of the reporting period, the Company does not have any financial
instruments carried at fair value.

and whose carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value
The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable

and whose carrying amounts are not reasonable approximation of fair value
At the end of the reporting period, the Company does not have any financial
