Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, the availability of funding from an adequate amount of committed
credit facilities and the ability to close out marketpositions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the group maintains flexibility in
funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines and through inter-company short term advances. Management monitors rolling forecasts of
the group’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below shows the availability of funding from Banks and their related utilisation at the balance sheet dates.
The table below analyses the group’s financial liabilities which will be settled on a net basis into relevant maturity groupings based on the
remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Capital management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future developments of the
business.
The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with the higher levels of borrowings and the
advantages and the security afforded by a sound capital position. The Board monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio, Gross debt/ EBITDA ratio,
interest cover ratio and the free funds from operations. The Gearing ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total
borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.Total capital is calculated as equity plus net debt. The following were the key credit ratios:

Gearing ratio Below 150% 76.0% 59.2%
