39 Capital Management (in $ million)
The primary objective of the management of the Company’s capital structure is to maintain an efficient
mix of debt and equity in order to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of
retaining financial flexibility to pursue business opportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate
the effect of unforeseen events on cash flows.
The Directors regularly review the Company’s capital structure and make adjustments to reflect economic
conditions, business strategies and future commitments.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total capital.
The Company did not breach any gearing covenants during the financial years ended 31 March 2011
or 31 March 2010. In the same period, no significant changes were made in the objectives, policies or
processes relating to the management of the Company’s capital structure.
