CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT

The Group has performed credit risk assessment before granting the Loans by (a) reviewing the financial reports and statements of the potential borrower showing the net asset value of the potential borrower and other financial information of the potential borrower; and (b) performing an assessment on the financial condition of the potential borrower and its shareholder (for enterprises), such as the type and value of assets owned by the potential borrower. The Group based on the findings of the credit risk assessment considered the credit risk of granting the Loans was acceptable at the time of granting the Loans.

SECURITY/COLLATERAL

The Group would assess and decide the necessity and the value of security/collateral for the granting of each loan, whether to an individual or enterprise, on a case by case basis considering the factors including but not limited to the repayment history, results of public search towards the borrower, the value and location of the assets owned by the borrower and the financial condition of the borrower.

Among the ten Loans as at 30 June 2019, six of the Loans overdue as at the date of this announcement. The Group had sent overdue payment reminders to the borrowers and had instructed its legal advisers to issue demand letters and/or ultimatum demanding the outstanding debt and/or writ of summons for recovery of the outstanding debts.
