The Group records its warranty liability at the time of sales based on estimated costs. Warranty claims are reasonably
predictable based on historical failure rate information. The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to verify it properly
reflects the outstanding obligation over the warranty period. Certain of these costs are reimbursable from the suppliers
in accordance with the terms of relevant arrangement with the suppliers.
(b) Allowance for billing adjustments relates primarily to allowances for future volume discounts, price protection, rebates,
and customer sales returns.
(c) Majority of other payables are obligations to pay for finished goods that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from subcontractors.
(d) The carrying amounts of accruals and other payables approximate their fair value.
