(CONTINUED)
(d)
Capital risk
In managing capital, the Group’s objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to
maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an
optimal capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to members,
buy back issued shares or obtain new borrowings.
Management monitors capital based on ability of the Group to generate sustainable profits and availability of
retained profits for dividend payments to members. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2013.
The Group and the Company are in compliance with all externally imposed capital requirements for the
financial years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014.
