A. In accordance with SFAS No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and
the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”,
financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial
assets carried at cost, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. Financial liabilities
are classified either as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or as financial
liabilities at cost.
B. The Company accounts for purchases and sales of financial assets on the trade date, or the date
when the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. At initial recognition, financial
assets are recognized at fair value plus, in the case of investments that are not reported at fair
value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
(A) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
These financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in profit or loss. Stocks of listed and OTC companies, convertible bonds and
closed-end funds are measured at closing prices at the balance sheet date. Open-end funds
are measured at the unit price of the net assets at the balance sheet date.
