2.17 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A financial instrument is any contract that give rise to a financial asset of one entity and financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
a. Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets.
Subsequent measurement
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss depending on its business model for managing those financial assets and the asset's contractual cash flow characteristics.
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets. If credit risk has not increased significantly 12 months eCl is used to provide the impairment loss. If credit risk has increased significantly lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/expenses in the statement of profit & loss.
b. Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, loans and borrowings or payable.

Discount Risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of fall in discount rate. A fall in discount rate will eventually increase the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit thereby increasing the value of liability.
Salary Escalation Risk
The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participant. An increase in the salary of plan participants will increase the plan liabilities.
Demographic Risk
In the valuation of liability certain demographic (mortality and attrition rates) assumptions are made. The Company is exposed to this risk to the extent of actual experience eventually being worse compared to the assumption thereby causing an increase in the plan liability.
