insufficient levels of committed credit facilities. The Group’s objective is to maintain efficient use of cash and debt facilities in<br />

order to balance the cost of borrowing and while ensuring sufficient availability of credit facilities, to meet forecast. The Group<br />

adopts a prudent approach to cash management which ensures sufficient levels of cash are maintained to meet working<br />

capital requirements. Liquidity is reviewed continually by the Group’s treasury departments through daily cash monitoring,<br />

review of available credit facilities and forecasting and matching of cash flows.<br />
