TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Consolidated trade and other receivables were
The Company entered into four agreements effective
The Company measures loss allowances based on an expected credit loss impairment ("ECL") model for all financial instruments measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling into income. Application of the model depends on the following credit stages of the financial assets.
Stage 1 |
For new loans recognized and for existing loans that have not experience a significant |
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized equal to the |
|
lifetime credit losses expected to result from defaults occurring in the next 12 months. |
|
Stage 2 |
For those loans that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial |
recognition, a loss allowance is recognized equal to the credit losses expected over the |
|
remaining life of the loan; and |
|
Stage 3 |
For loans that are considered to be credit-impaired, a loss allowance equal to full lifetime |
credit losses is recognized. |
Significant judgement is required in making assumptions and estimates used to calculate the ECL, including movements between the three stages and the use of forward looking information. The measurement of ECL for each stage and the criteria used to determine a significant increase in credit risk uses information about past events and current conditions as well as reasonable and supportable projections of future events.
ECLs are measured as the probability-weighted present value of expected cash shortfalls over the remaining expected life of the financial instrument and consider reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future events and economic conditions that impact the Company's credit risk assessment.
