The fair value of debtors and prepayments approximate their carrying amounts.<br />

No debtors and prepayments have been pledged as security.<br />

The average credit period on provision of services varies among <strong>Group</strong> businesses and is not more than 30 days. Before<br />

accepting any new customer, individual <strong>Group</strong> business assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and sets credit<br />

limits by customer, using internal credit scoring systems. These limits and scoring are reviewed periodically.<br />

An allowance for impairment of trade debtors is made based on the estimated irrecoverable amount. Significant financial<br />

difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or<br />

delinquency in payment are considered indicators that the debtor is impaired.
