Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)<br />
31 December <strong>2011</strong><br />
24. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)<br />
Interest rate risk<br />
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s<br />
financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure<br />
to market risk for changes in interest rates relates mainly to its surplus funds placed with banks.<br />
Surplus funds are placed as fixed deposits with reputable banks which yield better returns compared to<br />
cash at bank. The deposits provide the Group and the Company with the flexibility to meet its working<br />
capital and capital investment needs.<br />
Information relating to the Group’s and the Company’s interest rate exposure is disclosed in Note 10.<br />
At the end of the reporting period, it is estimated that a general increase of 5 basis point in interest<br />
rates would increase the Group’s profit after tax by $1,070 (2010: $1,008), whereas a 5 basis point<br />
decrease would have an equal but opposite effect. This analysis assumes that all other variables<br />
remain constant.<br />
25. Fair value of financial instruments<br />
Fair value of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying<br />
amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value<br />
Trade receivables, deposits and other receivables (current), fixed deposit pledged, cash and cash<br />
equivalents, trade payables, other payables, deposits received and accruals, and amount due from<br />
subsidiary companies<br />
The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair<br />
values due to their short-term nature.<br />
Deposits and other receivables (non-current)<br />
Management believes that the carrying amount recorded at the balance sheet date approximate its<br />
fair value as the interest rates used to amortise the non-current deposits and other receivables closely<br />
approximate the market interest rates on or near the end of the reporting period.<br />
Fair value of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying<br />
amounts are not reasonable approximation of fair value<br />

* Loan to subsidiary companies<br />
Fair value information has not been disclosed for the loan to subsidiary companies that are carried at cost<br />
because fair value cannot be measured reliably. These loans have no repayment terms and are repayable<br />
only when the cash flows of the borrower permit.
