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. If interest rates on loans had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would increase/decrease by approximately S$ 1,800 2,000 (iv) Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to us. Our credit risk is primarily attributable to our cash and cash equivalents. Our credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions with good credit ratings which we consider to have low credit risk. (v) Liquidity risk management Prudent liquidity risk management implies sufficient cash to finance the Group’s and the Company’s operations and development activities. The Group manages the liquidity risk by maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s business operations and development activities. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuing of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings. Cash flow from operations and capital contributions and loans from shareholders have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Group. As of December 31, 2023, the Group has negative cash flow from operating activities of S$ 3,432,830 2,602,010 positive S$ 9,379,688 7,109,595 S$ 8,995,067 6,818,060 Offering.
