Liquidity and capital resources
To service the above capital commitments and other operational requirements, the Group is dependent on existing cash resources, cash generated
from operations and borrowings (in the form of bonds and credit facilities). As part of the management of liquidity, funding and interest rate risk, the
Group regularly evaluates market conditions and may enter into transactions, from time to time, to repurchase outstanding debt, pursuant to open
market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or other means.
Cash generated from operations is subject to operational, market and other risks. Distributions from operations may be subject to foreign
investment, exchange control laws and regulations and the quantity of foreign exchange available in offshore countries. In addition, distributions
from joint ventures are subject to relevant Board approvals.
The credit facilities and other finance arrangements contain financial covenants and other similar undertakings. At 30 June 2025, the Group was in
compliance with all of the financial maintenance covenants per its loan agreements. To the extent that external borrowings are required, the
Group’s covenant performance indicates that existing financing facilities will be available to meet the above commitments. The financing facilities
which mature in the near future are disclosed in current liabilities. The Group believes that sufficient measures are in place to ensure that these
facilities can be refinanced.
