The Group’s average credit terms were 30 to 90 days. Allowance for doubtful debts is assessed by reference to the collectability of receivables by evaluating the account aging, historical experience and current financial condition of customers.

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2017, except that the Group’s five largest customers accounted for 30% and 33% of accounts receivable, respectively, the concentration of credit risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

Except for those impaired, the Group had not provided an allowance for doubtful debts on trade receivables at each balance sheet date since there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered collectible. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor did it have a legal right to offset against any amounts owed by the Group to counterparties.
