23b. Financial risk management
The main purpose for holding or issuing financial instruments is to raise and manage the finances for the entity’s
operating, investing and financing activities. There are exposures to the financial risks on the financial instruments such
as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk comprising interest rate, currency risk and price risk exposures. Management
has certain practices for the management of financial risks and action to be taken in order to manage the financial
risks. All financial risk management activities are carried out and monitored by senior management staff. All financial
risk management activities are carried out following good market practices.
There have been no changes to the exposures to risk; the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and
the methods used to measure the risk.
23C. Fair Value of Financial instruments
The analyses of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into
Levels 1 to 3 are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements. These include both the significant financial
instruments stated at amortised cost and at fair value in the statement of financial position. The carrying values of
current financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and
the disclosures of fair value are not made when the carrying amount of current financial instruments is a reasonable
approximation of the fair value.
