Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)42. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)d) Credit riskCredit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is managed through the application of credit approvals, credit limits andmonitoring procedures.The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade debtors and other debtors represent the Group’s maximum exposureto credit risk in relation to fi nancial assets. No other fi nancial assets carry a signifi cant exposure to credit risk.As the nature of the Group’s business is in retail, the majority of outstanding trade receivables are due from department storesand fi nancial institutions.43. Financial instrumentsa) Credit riskThere are no signifi cant concentrations of credit risk within the Group or the Company.b) Fair valuesFair value is defi ned as the amount at which the fi nancial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction betweenknowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of fi nancial instruments:• Cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets and liabilitiesThe carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.• Short-term borrowingsThe carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short period to maturity.• Long-term borrowingsThe fair values of the long-term bank loans are based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or onthe current rates available for debt with the same maturity profi le. The fair value of non-current loans, borrowings orother payables with variable interest rates approximates their carrying amounts.• Long-term receivablesThe fair value of long-term receivables is determined by discounting estimated cash fl ows using current marketincremental lending rates for similar types of lending.Notes to the Financial Statements 163Annual Report 2006
