c) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk only to the extent that it earns bank interest on
cash and deposits.

The effective interest rates per annum relating to cash at bank and time deposits at the
end of the reporting period ranges from 0.01% to 4.85% (2021: 0.01% to 0.68%) for the
Group.

Sensitivity analysis

At 31 December 2022, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis
points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would decrease/increase
the Group’s deficit for the year and increase/decrease the Group’s general fund by
approximately HK$686,000 (2021: HK$774,000). Other components of equity would not
be affected (2021: HK$Nil) by the changes in interest rates.

The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in
interest rates had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to
the exposure to interest rate risk for financial instruments in existence at that date. The
100 basis point increase represents management’s assessment of a reasonably
possible change in interest rates over the period until the end of next reporting period.
The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2021.
