    g.Financial instruments—initial recognition and subsequent measurement

     

    A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

     

    a) Financial assets, initial recognition and measurement

     

    All financial assets, such as receivables and deposits, are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

     

    The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”), has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

     

    b) Financial liabilities, initial recognition and measurement

     

    Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, and payables, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

     

    The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings and warrants classified as liabilities.

     

    c) Subsequent measurement

     

    The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method if the time value of money is significant.
