	 The trade receivables of the Company include amounts billed under a combined billing arrangement to customers for services
          provided by certain subsidiaries.

	 The Group’s and the Company’s primary credit risk exposure arises through its trade receivables, which include corporate and            Strategy
          retail customers. There is no concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables as the Group and the Company have
          a large number of customers. The recorded allowances for doubtful receivables have been made based on the Group’s and the
          Company’s historical collections experience. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional credit risk beyond
          the amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in the Group’s and the Company’s trade receivables.

	 The age analysis of trade receivables past due but not impaired at the reporting date is as follows:
