18 Financial assets are considered to be credit-impaired when one or more events occurs affecting the estimated future cash flows of the loan agreements. Evidences that financial assets are credit-impaired, includes overdue for more than 90 days or there are indicators that debtors are in significant trouble financial position, legal status, renegotiate terms of repayment or debt restructuring. In subsequent periods, if the credit quality of financial assets improves and it is assessed that there is no longer the significant increase in credit risk from the initial recognition date that was assessed in the previous period, the Company and its subsidiaries will change from recognising the lifetime expected credit loss to recognising the 12-month expected credit loss. When the terms of repayment of a loan to customer are renegotiated or the terms of the contractual cash flow are modified because the debtors are in financial difficulty, the loan is considered to be a financial asset with a significant increase in credit risk or credit-impaired, unless there is evidence that the risk of that contractual cash flows will not be recoverable has decreased significantly and there are no other indicators of impairment. Expected credit loss is the probability-weighted estimate of credit loss over the expected lifetime of the financial asset, consider the present value of all cash expected not to be recoverable. The Company and its’s subsidiary consider historical loss experience on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, taking into account type of loans, type of collateral, month on book, and other relevant factors, adjusts this for current observable data, as well as forward looking information that is supportable and reasonable, provided it can be shown to be statistically related, as well as exercising appropriate of judgement, to estimate the amount of an expected credit loss based on macroeconomic data and determines both current and future economic scenario, and probability-weighted in each scenario (base scenario, best scenario and worst scenario) for calculating expected credit loss. Use of forward-looking data increases the degree of judgement required in evaluating how relevant current macroeconomic changes affect expected credit loss. However, the Company and its subsidiaries have established the process to review and monitor methodologies, assumptions and forward-looking macroeconomics scenarios on a regular basis. Furthermore, expected credit loss was included management overlay. Increase (decrease) in an allowance for expected credit loss is recognised as expenses in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. The Company and its subsidiaries have a policy to write-off receivables when they are determined that such receivables may not be collectible. 234
