NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

23 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)<br />

(a)<br />

Credit risk<br />

The <strong>Group</strong>’s cash and bank deposits are held with banks located in the PRC and Hong Kong<br />

which management believes are of high credit quality. Accordingly, the <strong>Group</strong>’s credit risk<br />

is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management monitors the exposures<br />

to credit risk on an ongoing basis.<br />

Credit risk in respect of trade receivables is limited as the balances mainly arise from credit<br />

card sales. Credit terms are offered in rare cases to corporate customers with whom the<br />

<strong>Group</strong> has an established and ongoing relationship.<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets are arranged with financial institutions, which have credit<br />

rating of at least BBB from international independent rating institutions. Pursuant to the<br />

agreements with the financial institutions, there is limited credit risk on the principal amounts,<br />

as these are guaranteed by the financial institutions.<br />

Rental prepayments are placed with various landlords in the PRC and may be offset against<br />

future rental charges during the lease periods.<br />

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial<br />

asset in the consolidated statement of financial position. The <strong>Group</strong> or the Company does not<br />

provide any other guarantees which would expose the <strong>Group</strong> or the Company to credit risk.<br />

(b)<br />

Liquidity risk<br />

Liquidity risk is the risk that the <strong>Group</strong> will not be able to meet its financial obligations as<br />

they fall due.<br />

The <strong>Group</strong>’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will<br />

always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and<br />

stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the <strong>Group</strong>’s<br />

reputation.<br />
