22. Financial risk management

 

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks from its operation. The key financial risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk).

 

The directors review and agree policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are executed by the management team. It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial years, the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken.

 

The following sections provide details regarding the Company’s exposure to the abovementioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

 

There has been no change to the Company’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets (including cash), the Company minimizes credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

 

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its counterparties’ financial condition and generally do not require a collateral.

 

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.

 

The Company has determined the default event on a financial asset to be when internal and/or external information indicates that the financial asset is unlikely to be received, which could include default of contractual payments due for more than 30 days or there is significant difficulty of the counterparty.

To minimize credit risk, the Company has developed and maintained the Company’s credit risk grading to categorize exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by publicly available financial information and the Company’s own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Company considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information which includes the following indicators:

 

Internal credit rating

 

External credit rating

 

  Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the debtor’s ability to meet its obligations

 

  Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the debtor

 

  Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor

 

  Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the debtor, including changes in the payment status of debtors in the company and changes in the operating results of the debtor Regardless of the analysis above, a significant increase in credit risk is presumed if a debtor is more than 30 days past due in making contractual payment.

 

The Company determined that its financial assets are credit-impaired when:

 

  There is significant difficulty of the debtor

 

  A breach of contract, such as a default or past due event

 

  It is becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization

 

  There is a disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulty

 

The Company categorizes a receivable for potential write-off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments more than 120 days past due. Financial assets are written off when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the debtor has no realistic prospect of recovery.

 

The Company’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

 

Category   Definition of category   Basis for recognizing ECL
I   Counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past-due amounts.   12-month ECL
         
II   Amount is >30 days past due or there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.   Lifetime ECL – not credit impaired
         
III   Amount is >60 days past due or there is evidence indicating the asset is credit-impaired (in default).   Lifetime ECL – credit-impaired
         
IV   There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the debtor has no realistic prospect of recovery.   Amount is written off

Trade receivables (Note 1)

 

For trade receivables, the Company has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 and use provision matrix to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. In determining ECL on a collective basis, trade receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk and aging. The Company considers the historical credit loss experience based on the past due status of the debtors, historical customers’ payment profile and adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions and estimates of future economic conditions affecting the ability of the customers to settle the debts. The Company has identified the country’s risk in which it sells goods to be the most relevant factor and the historical loss rates are adjusted accordingly based on the expected changes in this factor. Accordingly, the credit risk profile of trade receivables is presented based on their past due status in terms of the provision matrix.

Other receivables (Note 2)

 

Other receivables are considered to be low credit risk and subject to immaterial credit loss. Credit loss for these assets have not been increased significantly since their initial recognition. Consequently, they are measured at the 12-month ECL.

 

Cash and cash equivalents (Note 3)

 

Cash and cash equivalents are mainly deposits with reputable banks with high international credit rating. Credit loss for the assets have not been increased significantly since their initial recognition. Consequently, they are measured at the 12-month ECL.

 

Amount due from/Loan to related parties, net (Note 4)

 

Amount due from/Loan to related parties are considered to be low credit risk and subject to immaterial credit loss. Credit loss for these assets have not been increased significantly since their initial recognition. Consequently, they are measured at the 12-month ECL.

Excessive risk concentration

 

Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry.

 

Exposure to credit risk

 

The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk except for those significant customers disclosed below. The Company has credit policies and procedures in place to minimize and mitigate its credit risk exposure.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of single customers who represent 10% or more of the Company’s revenue:

Financial guarantee

 

PFL, a subsidiary of the Company, provided joint corporate guarantee together with certain related parties to banks in connection with bank facilities granted and utilized by certain related parties. These related parties are all related companies under Dumaine.

 

The guarantee is a financial guarantee contract as PFL has the legal obligation to reimburse the banks if the related companies fail to or default on their principal and interest payment when due in accordance with the terms of the bank facilities drawn.

 

The Company’s maximum exposure is the maximum amount the Company could have to pay if the guarantee is called upon.

 

As at March 31, 2026, the bank facilities that was jointly guaranteed by PFL had been fully repaid and the financial guarantee under PFL had been discharged by the banks.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting its short-term obligations due to shortage of funds. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. It is managed by matching the payment and receipt cycles. The Company finances its working capital requirements through a combination of funds generated from operations, bank borrowing, advances from related parties, if necessary.

In assessing our liquidity, the Company monitors and analyze cash and cash equivalents and operating expenditure commitments. As of March 31, 2026, the Company current assets exceeded its current liabilities by US$5,082,277 and cash and cash equivalents amounted to approximately US$3,583,000. The Company has generated a profit amount approximately US$235,000.

 

Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations, for at least the next 12 months. There are several factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the Company’s plans, such as changes in the demand for its products, economic conditions, its operating results continuing to deteriorate and its shareholders and related parties being unable to provide continued financial support.

 

The Company maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents, and internally generated cash flows to finance their activities and management is satisfied that funds are available to finance the operations of the Company.

 

Analysis of financial instruments by remaining contractual maturities

 

The following table details the remaining contractual maturity for non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s profit or loss. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on risk.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from bank borrowing.

 

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rate for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

As of March 31, 2025, if interest rates on bank borrowings had been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit/loss for the year would decrease by approximately US$1,100. The Company does not have any interest bearing bank borrowings as at March 31, 2026.

 

The Company periodically review its liabilities and monitors interest rate fluctuations to ensure that the exposure to interest rate risk is within acceptable level.

 

The Company does not expect any significant effect on the Company’s profit or loss arising from the effects of reasonably possible changes to interest rates on interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the reporting period.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company’s foreign exchange risk results mainly from cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. At present, the Company does not have any formal policy for hedging against currency risk. The Company ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates, where necessary, to address short-term imbalances.

 

The Company has transactional currency exposures arising from sales or purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity, primarily Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), Renminbi (“RMB”) and Khmer Riel (“KHR”).

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk is as follows:

 

   March 31, 2025   March 31, 2026 
   HKD   RMB   KHR   HKD   RMB   KHR 
   US$   US$   US$   US$   US$   US$ 
Financial assets                       
Trade and other receivables           193,337            136,332 
Cash and cash equivalents   426    32        2,337,600        181,888 
                               
Financial liabilities                              
Trade and other payables   (850,436)   (65,328)   (27,408)   (607,800)   (65,042)   (30,338)
Borrowings   (1,961,969)                    
Net exposure   (2,811,979)   (65,296)   165,929    1,729,800    (65,042)   287,882 

 

The weakening of US$ against the foreign currencies denominated balances as at the reporting date would increase/(decrease) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

 

   Profit or loss (after tax) 
   March 31,
2025
   March 31,
2026
 
   US$   US$ 
HKD strengthening 5% (2025: 5%)   (140,599)   86,490 
RMB strengthening 5% (2025: 5%)   (3,265)   (3,252)
KHR strengthening 5% (2025: 5%)   8,296    14,394 

 

The strengthening of US$ against the above currencies would have had equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
