NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2017

6. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS (cont’d)

Note A:

A short term deposit amounting to $1,000,000 (2016 : $1,000,000) is pledged to a bank for an overdraft facility and a performance guarantee facility. As at the end of the reporting period, the performance guarantees issued amounted to $312,600 (2016 : $357,600). The bank overdraft facility remains unutilised. Fixed deposits bear average effective interest rate of 1.20% (2016 : 0.92%) per annum and for a tenure of approximately 1 to 12 months (2016 : 3 months). The fixed deposits are readily convertible to cash at minimal costs.

The average credit period is 30 days (2016 : 30 days).

The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the member base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the management believes that there is no further credit allowance required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.
