12(c)Accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables

The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on general economic conditions affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

In the prior year, the impairment of trade receivables was assessed based on the incurred loss model. The Company measured estimated impairment losses on trade receivables based on the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company considered the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, customer financial condition, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The impairment losses assessed individually as of December 31, 2017 primarily resulted from the financial difficulties of the counter trading parties and the amounts recognized were the difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivable and the present value of expected collectable amounts.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (continued)

12(d)Material collateral obtained

The Company obtained collateral in respect of doubtful receivables from customers. The collateral takes the form of a lien over the customer’s assets and gives the Company a claim on these assets for the doubtful receivables.

In March 2017, a lawsuit was filed by a debtor to rescind the foreclosure that the Company has undertaken on the collateral in Thailand. The Company’s foreclosure prevailed according to the judgement from the Appeal Court on November 28, 2017. The debtor’s petition reached to the Supreme Court on June 19, 2018, and was denied on March 27, 2019. The Company performed a valuation to determine the fair value of the collateral. As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of the collateral was $1,200, which was lower than the amount of the associated delinquent account, and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $52 in other operating expenses. As of December 31, 2017 the fair values of the collateral was $1,181, which was higher than the amounts of the associated delinquent accounts, and no impairments loss was recognized.  

See Note 27(b) credit risk of trade receivables for discussions on how the Company manages and measures credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired.

 

12(e)Other receivables pledged as collateral

The carrying amounts of other receivables pledged as collateral against credit facilities received from financial institutions are disclosed in Note 27(e)(ii).
