asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and
losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income
are removed from equity and are included in the initial cost of
the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the
Company revokes the designated hedging relationship, or
when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated,
or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging
instrument that has been previously recognized in other
comprehensive income from the period when the hedge
was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast
transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer
expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is
recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Provisions
Provisions, including those arising from contractual obligation
specified in service concession arrangement to maintain or
restore infrastructure before it is handed over to the grantor,
are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows
of the consideration required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the
risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle
a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,
a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain
that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the
receivable can be measured reliably.
a. Warranty provisions
The Company provides warranty service for one year
to two years. The warranty liability is estimated on the
basis of evaluation of the products under warranty, past
warranty experience, and pertinent factors.
b. Provisions for contingent loss on purchase
orders
The provision for contingent loss on purchase orders is
estimated after taking into account the effects of changes
in the product market, evaluating the foregoing effects
on inventory management and adjusting the Company's
purchases.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated
customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Sales
returns are recognized at the time of sale provided the seller
can reliably estimate future returns and recognizes a liability
for returns based on previous experience and other relevant
factors.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods
are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the
following conditions are satisfied:
• The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant
risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
• The Company retains neither continuing managerial
involvement to the degree usually associated with
ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with
the transaction will flow to the Company; and
• The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the
transaction can be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials
delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not
involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.
Specifically, sales of goods are recognized when goods are
delivered and title has been passed.
Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee
benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related
service.
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans
are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered
service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and
remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit
plans are determined using the projected unit credit method.
Service cost (including current service cost and net interest
on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized
as employee benefits expense in the period they occur.
Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and
the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized
in other comprehensive income in the period in which they
occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive
income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will
not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual
Financial liabilities
a. Subsequent measurement
Except the following situation, all the financial
liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL)
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when
the financial liability is either held for trading or it is
designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability may be designated as at fair value
through profit or loss upon initial recognition when
doing so results in more relevant information and if:
• Such designation eliminates or significantly re-
duces a measurement or recognition inconsistency
that would otherwise arise; or
• The financial liability forms part of a group of
financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which
is managed and its performance is evaluated on a
fair value basis, in accordance with the Company's
documented risk management or investment
strategy, and information about the grouping is
provided internally on that basis; or
• The contract contains one or more embedded
derivatives so that the entire combined contract
(asset or liability) can be designated as at fair value
through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value,
with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement
recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss
recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest
and dividend paid on the financial liability. Fair value
is determined in the manner described in Note28.
b. Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability derecognized and the consideration
paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or
liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial
instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate
risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the
derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently
remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting
period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or
loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and
effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing
of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of
the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative
financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized
as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial
instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a
financial liability.
Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are
treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition
of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely
related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not
measured at FVTPL.
Hedge Accounting
The Company designates certain hedging instruments, which
include derivatives, embedded derivatives and non-derivatives
in respect of foreign currency risk, as either cash flow hedges.
Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are
accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Fair value hedges
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated
and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss
immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged
risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument
and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged
risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to
the hedged item.
Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the
Company revokes the designated hedging relationship, or
when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated,
or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives
that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is
recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss
relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately
in profit or loss.
The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other
comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit
or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the line item relating
to the hedged item in the same period when the hedged item
affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecast transaction
subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial
