financial instruments

Notes to the Financial Statements

財務報表附註

(a) Financial risk factors

(continued)

(ii) Credit risk

(continued)

For investments in securities, the Company adopts a

prudent policy to invest in securities only with very strong

investment-grade credit ratings and limit exposure to any

single investment. The exposures to these credit risks are

monitored on an ongoing basis.

For rent receivable from tenants, credit checks are part of

the normal leasing process and stringent monitoring

procedures are in place to deal with overdue debts. In

addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of

each individual balance outstanding at the end of the

reporting period to ensure that adequate provision for

impairment losses is made for irrecoverable amounts.

The Company normally receives rents in advance from

tenants on a monthly basis and also has policies in place

to obtain rental deposits or bank guarantees from tenants

prior to commencement of leases.

For other trade receivables, the exposure to these credit

risks is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations

are performed on all customers requiring credit over a

certain amount. These receivables are due ranging from

30 to 60 days from the date of billing. Normally, the

Company does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Company has no significant concentrations of credit

risk.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to

meet its current obligations when they fall due. Prudent

liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient

cash and the availability of funding through operating

cash flows and advance from the immediate holding

company.

The Company’s policy is to regularly monitor its current

and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it

maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity

requirements in the short and longer term.
