FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
30.FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

 

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, convertible redeemable preferred shares and cash and cash equivalents. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade payables, other payables and accruals, which arise directly from its operations.

 

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk and liquidity risk. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Group uses the US dollar as its reporting currency. As a result, the Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange movements, primarily in RMB. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in US dollars, was as follows:

 

   As of December 31, 2024   As of December 31, 2023 
   RMB   CHF   RMB   CHF 
   US’000   US’000   US’000   US’000 
Cash and cash equivalents   47,198    105    23,223    119 
Interest-bearing bank and other borrowings   (12,520)   
—
    (12,707)   
—
 
Trade payables   (5,474)   
—
    (6,891)

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity at the end of each of the Relevant Periods to a reasonably possible change in the $ and RMB exchange rate, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profit before tax (due to changes in the fair values of monetary assets and liabilities).

Capital management

 

The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholders’ value.

 

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the Relevant Periods.

 

The asset-liability ratios as of the end of each of the Relevant Periods are as follows:

 

   As of December 31, 
   2023   2024 
   revised     
   $’000   $’000 
Total assets   130,189    71,270 
Total liabilities   55,143    45,785 
Asset-liability ratio (Note i)   2.36    1.56 

Note i:

 

The asset-liability ratio is calculated by dividing total assets by total liabilities.
