The Group’s trade and other receivables are actively monitored to review credit worthiness of the customers to whom credit<br />
terms are granted and also avoid significant concentrations of credit risks.<br />
The Group’s interest-rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to<br />
cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest-rate risk.<br />
Foreign Currency sensitivity<br />
The overseas entities of the Group operate in different countries. The functional currency of such entities is the currency<br />
being used in that particular country. The bulk of contributions to the Group’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses in<br />
foreign currency are denominated in US Dollar and EURO. Apart from US Dollar, foreign currency transactions are entered<br />
into by entities in GBP, Swiss Francs and several other currencies as applicable in the country in which the particular entity<br />
operates. However, the size of these entities relative to the total Group and the volume of transactions in such currencies<br />
are not material.<br />

has been disclosed at 5% movements on strengthening and weakening effect for presenting comparable movement due<br />
