Loans to Customers Policies - Allowance for expected credit loss on financial assets/Allowance for doubtful accounts Loans purchased of receivables From 1 January 2020, The Company and its subsidiaries record allowance for expected credit loss when there are changes in the estimated cash inflows expected from receivables discounting the projected cash flows with reference to historical data and adjusts it on the basis of current observable data. The Company and its subsidiaries recognise changes in lifetime of expected credit loss as gain or loss on impairment in profit or loss. And are required to recognise positive changes in expected credit loss as reversal of impairment, to the extent that they do not exceed the expected credit loss recognised in the past. Other financial assets The Company and its subsidiaries use general approach to calculate expected credit loss on other financial assets, such as deposits at financial institutions, investments in debt instruments measured at amortised cost, investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, loans to customers and accrued interest receivables (Not including loans purchased of receivables). The Company and its subsidiaries classify the financial assets into three groups (three-stage approach) to measure the value of the expected credit loss, with the classification determined on the basis of the change in credit quality since the initial transaction date, as follows: Group 1: Financial assets with no significant increase in credit risk (Performing) For financial assets which no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company and its subsidiaries recognise the expected credit loss at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit loss. And for financial assets with maturity of less than 12 months, the Company and its subsidiaries will use the probability of fulfilling the contract in accordance with the remaining terms of the contract. Group 2: Financial assets with significant increases in credit risk (Under-performing) For financial assets with significant increases in credit risk since the initial recognition date but that are not credit-impaired, the Company and its subsidiaries recognise the expected credit loss at an amount equal to expected credit loss over the expected lifetime of the financial instrument. Group 3: Financial assets that are credit-impaired (Non-performing) Financial assets are assessed as a credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset occur. The Company and its subsidiaries recognise the expected credit loss at the amount equal to expected credit loss over the expected lifetime of the financial assets. At the end of the reporting period, the Company and its subsidiaries assess whether the credit risk of financial assets has increased significantly since the initial recognition date, by comparing the risk of default on the financial assets as at reporting date with the risk of default as at the initial recognition date. The Company and its subsidiaries may use internal quantitative or qualitative basis and expected data for evaluate a decrease in credit quality such as debtors which are overdue for more than 30 days. In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition date, financial assets will be considered either by individual or group of contract of financial assets. 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 48
