2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued u.  Financial instruments continued
iv.  Fair value of financial instruments Fair  value  is  the  amount  for  which  an  asset  could  be  exchanged,  or  liability  settled,  in  an
arms’ length transaction. The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date
is  determined  by  reference  to  quoted  market  prices,  without  any  deduction  for  transaction costs.
For  financial  instruments  not  traded  in  an  active  market,  the  fair  value  is  determined  using appropriate  valuation  techniques.  Such  techniques  may  include  using  recent  arm’s  length
market  transactions,  reference  to  the  current  fair  value  of  another  instrument  that  is substantially the same, a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
An  analysis  of  fair  values  of  financial  instruments  and  further  details  as  to  how  they  are measured are provided in Note 44.
v.  Impairment of financial assets The Company and subsidiaries assess the impairment of financial assets if there is objective
evidence  that  a  loss  event  has  a  negative  impact  on  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  of  the financial  asset.  Impairment  is  recognized  when  the  loss  event  can  be  reliably  estimated.
Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognized.
Impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost is measured as the difference between the asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  discounted  at
the  financial  asset’s  original  effective  interest  rate.  Cash  flows  relating  to  short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized in other  comprehensive  income  and  there  is  objective  evidence  that  the  asset  is  impaired,  the
cumulative  loss  that  had  been  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income  is  recognized  in profit  or  loss  as  an  impairment  loss.  The  amount  of  the  cumulative  loss  is  the  difference
between the acquisition cost net of any principal repayment and amortization and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized.
vi.  Derecognition of financial instrument The  Company  and  subsidiaries  derecognize  a  financial  asset  when  the  contractual  rights  to
the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the Company and subsidiaries transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
The Company  and subsidiaries derecognize a financial liability  when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
v.   Treasury stock
Reacquired Company shares of stock are accounted for at their reacquisition cost and classified as  “Treasury  Stock”  and  presented  as  a  deduction  to  equity.  The  cost  of  treasury  stock
soldtransferred  is  accounted  for  using  the  weighted  average  method.  The  portion  of  treasury stock  transferred  for  employees  ownership  program  is  accounted  for  at  its  fair  value.  The
difference  between  the  cost  and  the  proceeds  from  the  saletransfer  value  of  treasury  stock  is credited to “Additional Paid-in Capital”.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued w.  Dividends
Dividend distribution to the Company’s stockholders is recognized as a liability in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the year in which the dividend is approved by the Company’s
stockholders.  The  Company  recognizes  interim  dividend  as  a  liability  based  on  the  Board  of Directors’ decision with the approval from the Board of Commissioners.
x.   Basic earnings per share and earnings per ADS
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Income
per  ADS  is  computed  by  multiplying  basic  earnings  per  share  by  200,  the  number  of  shares represented by each ADS.
The Company does not have potentially dilutive financial investments.
y.  Segment information
The Company and subsidiaries segment information is presented based upon identified operating segments.  An  operating  segment  is  a  component  of  an  entity:  a  that  engages  in  business
activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity; b whose operating results are
regularly  reviewed  by  the  Company  and  subsidiaries  chief  operating  decision  maker  i.e., Directors,  to  make  decisions  about  resources  to  be  allocated  to  the  segment  and  assess  its
performance, and c for which discrete financial information is available.
z.  Provision
Provision  is  recognized  when  the  Company  and  subsidiaries  have  a  present  obligation  legal  or constructive  as  a  result  of  a  past  event,  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation.
aa.  Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
The  Company  and  subsidiaries  make  estimates  and  assumptions  concerning  the  future.  The resulting  accounting  estimates  will,  by  definition,  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.  The
estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
i. Retirement benefits
The  present  value  of  the  retirement  benefit  obligations  depends  on  a  number  of  factors  that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used
in  determining  the  net  cost  income  for  pensions  include  the  discount  rate.  Any  changes  in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of retirement benefit obligations.
The  Company  and  subsidiaries  determine  the  appropriate  discount  rate  at  the  end  of  each reporting period. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of
estimated  future  cash  outflows  expected  to  be  required  to  settle  the  obligations.  In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company and subsidiaries consider the interest
rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement benefit
obligations.
