SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be
confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.
It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable
that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured
reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a
change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a
provision.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable
or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction takes place either
in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-
financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant
that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level 3 as follows:-
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liability that the entity
can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances
that caused the transfer.
