Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions |
5. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, the accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimating uncertainty at the reporting date that would have a significant risk for a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities within the next fiscal year are discussed below. The Company bases its assumptions and estimates on information available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
| (1) | The Fair Value of Level 3 Financial Instruments
Where the fair values of the level 3 financial assets recorded on the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined by the application of an appropriate valuation method which was mainly the market approach. The valuation of these financial assets involves significant judgments such as the selection of comparable companies or equity transaction prices and the application of assumptions such as discounts for lack of marketability, valuation multiples, etc. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the financial assets. Please refer to Note 11 for more details.
| (2) | Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value item by item. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Please refer to Note 6(6). Costs of completion include direct labor and overhead, including depreciation and maintenance of production equipment, indirect labor costs, indirect material costs, supplies, utilities and royalties that is expected to be incurred at normal production level. The Company estimates normal production level taking into account loss of capacity resulting from planned maintenance, based on historical experience and current production capacity.
