Deferred tax assets relating to unutilised tax losses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be utilised. The Group had unused tax losses available for offsetting against future profits in respect of certain subsidiaries of US$28,998,000 as at 31 December 2021 (2020: US$24,630,000), and the deferred tax assets have not been recognised. No deferred tax assets have been recognised in respect of these losses due to the unpredictability of future available taxable profit of the subsidiaries to offset against the unused tax losses. The available period of the unused tax losses will expire in one to five years for offsetting against future taxable profits. R E A C H I N G N E W H E I G H T S 204
