              The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue on a going concern
            
            
              basis in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders who use these financial state-
            
            
              ments and tomaintain an optimal capital structure to reducing the cost of capital.
            
            
              In order to maintain an optimal capital structure, the Groupmay adjust the amount of dividends paid to sharehold-
            
            
              ers, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
            
            
              The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total
            
            
              capital. Net debt is calculated as total loans and borrowings and notes payables, less cash and cash equivalents. Total
            
            
              capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the consolidated balance sheet, plus net debt.
            
            
              The gearing ratio at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:
            
            
              Total loans and borrowings and notes payable
