| (ii) | Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - unquoted equity instrument
On January 1, 2018, the date of initial application of IFRS 9, the Company elected to reclassify its unquoted equity instrument in Thai Metal Processing Co., Ltd (“TMP”), which is engaged in the fabrication of copper rods, from financial assets – available-for-sale to financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income due to the investment being hold as a long-term strategic investment and not expected to be sold in the short to medium term. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, the Company received dividends of $105, $100, and $96 from TMP, respectively, which were recorded in other income(Note 7(e)) in the consolidated income statements.

11(c)Hedging activities and derivatives
| (i) | Commodity price risk
The Company purchases copper on an ongoing basis as its operating activities require a continuous supply of copper for manufacturing products. To reduce the exposures to copper shortage, the Company enters into purchase contracts with commitment of monthly minimum purchase at market prices for selected operating units. The majority of these transactions take the form of contracts that are entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of receipt or delivery of the copper based on the Company’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. Such purchase commitment contracts are not deemed financial instruments or derivatives. To date, these contract positions have not had a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.
| (ii) | Foreign currency risk
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with the intention to reduce the foreign exchange risk of expected sales and purchase transactions. These contracts are entered into the periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transaction, generally from one to 12 months. These contracts are not designated in hedge relationships, and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts of $(9.4) million and $(18.9) million respectively. The outstanding forward contracts mature between April 29, 2018 and June 17, 2019. The Company recognized gain(loss) on forward contracts as other income(expenses) – refer to Note 7(e) and Note 7(f). The forward contract balance varies with the expected foreign currency transactions and changes in foreign exchange rate.

| (i) | Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
| ► | Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, due from related parties, trade and other payables, due to related parties, and financial lease liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
| ► | Fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances were provided to account for the expected losses of these receivables. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amounts of such receivables, net of allowances, were not materially different from their calculated fair values.
| ► | Fixed rate long-term bank deposits and fixed rate and variable-rate borrowings are evaluated using discounted cash flows and the market rates or current rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
| ► | Fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - derivatives is derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
11. | FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)
| (i) | Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value (continued)
| ► | Fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, which was previously classified as available-for-sale financial assets as at December 31, 2017, is estimated using appropriate valuation techniques. Refer to Note 11(d)(ii) for the technique used.
| ► | Fair value of interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using discounted cash flow method with discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as of the end of the reporting period. The non-performance risk as of December 31, 2018 was assessed to be insignificant.
| (ii) | Description of significant unobservable inputs to valuation
|  | Valuation technique |  | Significant unobservable inputs |  | Liquidity discount (2018 and 2017) |  |  | Sensitivity of the input to fair value
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 2018 |  | 2017
Financial asset |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Unquoted equity instrument |  | Market Approach Method |  | Liquidity Discount |  | 30% |  |  | 5% decrease in the discount would increase in fair value by $167 |  | 5% decrease in the discount would increase in fair value by $203
The Company estimates the fair value of investment in equity instrument by using the market approach (market comparatives approach). The key in this method is the selection of quoted comparable companies and accommodate adjustments to bring the accounts of different companies into a broadly consistent framework for analysis. Then, select appropriate Indicators of Value. The followings should be taken into account:
| ► | Enterprise Value (EV) versus Market Capitalization;
| ► | Earnings-based: EBITDA +/or EBIT versus Net Earnings +/or Net Cash Flow
| ► | Balance Sheet based: Net Total Assets versus Shareholders Funds
Discount for the lack of liquidity to reflect the lesser liquidity of this equity instrument compared with those of its comparable public company peers. The Company assessed the discount for the lack of liquidity to be 30 percent on the basis of relevant studies applicable in the region and industry as well as on the specific facts and circumstances of the equity instrument. The equity instrument’s finance performance is characterized by stable, consistent growth and profitability. The Company believes the liquidity discount of 30% would be appropriate. The Company carries the equity instrument as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. A reconciliation of the beginning and closing balances is summarized below:
| 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
| US$’000 |  |  | US$’000 |
At January 1 |  | 2,747 |  |  |  | 2,765 |
