The Company considers a financial guarantee to be credit impaired when: • The subsidiary is unlikely to repay its credit obligation to the bank in full; or • The subsidiary is unlikely to repay its amounts owing to the supplier in full; or • The subsidiary is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholders’ fund.
