As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, accounts receivable was due from a number of reputable corporate clients, brokers and individual clients.
An impairment analysis of accounts receivable from capital market solutions services is performed at each reporting date using probability of default approach to measure expected credit losses. The probability of default and loss given default are estimated based on the Group’s assessment on credit ratings of the accounts receivable and historical loss experience. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The calculation of ECL considers forward looking information through the use of publicly available economic data and forecasts, including macroeconomic data such as GDP growth and unemployment rate, management judgement to reflect the qualitative factors and through the use of multiple probability weighted scenarios.
Other than receivables from brokers and clearing house of HK$21,545,865 included in receivable from capital market solutions services as of December 31, 2021 which measures the loss allowance equal to
12-month
ECL, the Group has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. For receivable arising from the digital solutions and other services, the ECL is assessed on an individual basis. The ECL on remaining accounts receivable is performed on a collective basis, grouped by internal credit rating.
An impairment for loss allowance of HK$17,109,001 was made on receivables with gross amount of HK$17,109,001 arising from capital market solutions service
s
, and was further written off during the year ended December 31, 2020, as the directors of the Company considered there was no realistic prospect of recovery.
 
As of December 31, 2021, the probability of default ranged from 0.12% to 4.98% and the loss given default was estimated to be 45%. As of December 31, 2022, the probability of default ranged from 0.39% to 0.57% and the loss given default was estimated to be 45%.
