The Group generally provides one to two years warranty to its customers on all products, under which faulty<br />
products are repaired or replaced. The amount of the provision for the warranties is estimated based on sales<br />
volumes and past experience of the level of repairs and return. The estimation basis is reviewed on an ongoing basis<br />
and revised where appropriate. During the year, the provision of warranties was not discounted, as the effect of<br />
discounting was not material.<br />
