INTRODUCTION
1.1
General
Post and Telecommunications of Kosovo J.S.C. (“the Company”) is a Joint Stock Company
incorporated in the Republic of Kosovo. The Company's head office is located at Dardania
Street, Prishtina, Republic of Kosovo.
The Company provides telecommunication services, such as mobile and fixed telephony,
postal services and internet services.
As at 31 December 2011 the Company has 3,349 employees (2010: 3,384).
1.2
Background information
PTK enterprise was an enterprise within the meaning of UNMIK Regulation No. 2005/18,
amending UNMIK Regulation No. 2002/12 “On the Establishment of the Kosovo Trust Agency”
(“KTA”). Regulation 2005/18 has given to KTA the authority to transform enterprises into
corporations. At a meeting dated 9 May 2005, the Board of Directors of the KTA resolved to
transform PTK enterprise into a joint stock Company, named Post and Telecommunications of
Kosovo Holding, J.S.C. On the incorporation date 22 June 2005, PTK Holding effectively
substituted the former “enterprise” formerly doing business as “Post and Telecommunications
of Kosovo” on a continuing basis, without liquidation. PTK enterprise was the first enterprise
that was transformed into a Corporation under the KTA Regulation and Administrative
Directive 2005/6. KTA, acted as trustee for the ultimate owners of Kosovo’s enterprises
pursuant to the KTA Regulation, was the current holder of 100 percent of the shares of PTK
Holding. The issued share capital upon incorporation amounts to Euro 260 million.
Shortly after its incorporation, PTK Holding formed an operating Company, Post and
Telecommunications of Kosovo J.S.C. (“PTK”) and transferred certain of its assets to PTK as a
capital contribution. PTK Holding was the 100% shareholder of Post and Telecommunications
of Kosovo J.S.C.
The registered capital of the wholly owned subsidiary amounts to Euro 250 million, and the
shares of the subsidiary were issued in exchange for certain net assets contributed in kind by
PTK Holding. Given the practical effect of the transformation and of incorporation, the Tax
Administration has approved the restructuring process of PTK enterprise as “reorganization”
for the purposes of Section 24.1 of UNMIK Regulation No. 2004/51 “On Corporate Income
Taxes”.
On June 13, 2008, the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo approved the Law on Publicly
owned Enterprises (Law No.03/L-087), and based on provision of section 3 of this Law,
Central publicly owned Enterprises including PTK JSC are declared to be assets of the
Republic of Kosovo. Government of the Republic of Kosovo has through the Ministry of
Economy and Finance the exclusive authority to exercise the shareholder rights over the
Publicly owned Enterprises.
On 13 October 2009, the Government has issued a decision for merging of this two companies
PTK Holding and PTK JSC into one company Post and Telecommunications of Kosovo J.S.C.
(“the Company”) with registered capital of Euro 5,000,000, composed of five million common
shares with nominal value of Euro 1 per share. All shares are issued in the name of Republic of
Kosovo.
At 31 December 2011, the Government has issued a decision on the establishment of the
Public Central Enterprise Post of Kosovo JSC. The Public Central Enterprise Post of Kosovo JSC
established the separation of the Postal Unit from the current division of Public Enterprise
Post and Telecommunications of Kosovo J.S.C..

Business activities
At 31 December 2011, the Company has three business units, two of which are licensed by
Telecommunication Regulation Authority of Kosovo (“TRA”), one of them is also authorized by
the TRA for offering internet services and one is licensed by the Ministry of Transport and
Communications:
Postal Unit (“Post”)
Banking and Payments Authority of Kosovo (“BPK”) has issued to PTK a non-banking financial
license which enables the Post to offer cash payment and receipt services to third parties.
On 15 May 2006, the Ministry of Transport and Communications have issued the License for
providing Universal Postal Services to PTK.
Fixed Telecommunications Unit (“Fixed Telecommunications”)
The Fixed Telecommunications Unit is the only licensed network and service provider of fixed
telecommunication services to retail and business customers in the territory of Kosovo.
Fixed Telecommunications Unit also offered internet services from 2001 and today is one of
three operators offering internet services in Kosovo, authorized by the TRA.
Mobile Telephony Unit (“Vala”)
Vala is the GSM mobile operating unit and is currently one of two licensed network and
service providers of mobile telecommunication services in Kosovo.
PTK enterprise entered into an agreement in 2000, to provide mobile services in Kosovo, with
Monaco Telecom International (“MTI”) which entitles PTK to use the MTI international dialing
code and enables PTK to connect its mobile network to international networks. As a
component of this agreement PTK compensate MTI with a share of revenues and pay certain
international traffic costs. During 2006, the contract between MTI and PTK J.S.C. has been
re-negotiated and amended. The new framework Agreement covers the use of Monaco’s
International Dialing Code, International traffic, Roaming and technical know-how transfer. In
addition the framework Agreement provides for a termination clause in the event that Kosovo
acquires an International Dialing Code (IDC) of its own. Also in May of 2009, the contract
between MTI and PTK JSC was re-negotiated and changed, again. New Annex of the
Framework Contract covers the use of the Monaco International dialing code, international
traffic, roaming and transfer technical knowledge, which came into force on 1 January 2010.
In addition, the annex of the new framework contract covers a provision for termination of
contract if Kosovo provides / receives its own code as well as international calls for reduction
of tariff code.

Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates
at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange
rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference
between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted
for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign
currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated
to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was
determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or
loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity
instruments (if any).

2.9
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment provisions. Deemed cost represents revalued cost of certain
items of property, plant and equipment revalued on 1 January 2005, the date of transition to
IFRSs, to fair value in relation to the initiated incorporation of PTK Holding.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The
cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor (if involved),
any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its
intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on
which they are located. Capital expenditure on assets in the course of construction is carried
forward under Assets under construction and is capitalized and transferred to the appropriate
asset category once completed, from which time depreciation is applied at the rate
applicable to the category concerned.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the
carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied
within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of
the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in statement of
comprehensive income as incurred.
Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to
their carrying amount and are taken into account in determining the operating result for the
period.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognized in statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land and
assets under construction are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for the major
classes of assets are as follows (in both 2011 and 2010):


ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Intangible assets
(i) Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits
embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including
expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss when
incurred.
(ii) Amortization
Amortization is recognized in statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date they are available for use. The
estimated useful lives are as follows (in both 2011 and 2010):


Telecom Licenses
Impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment, as well as intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an
impairment loss is recognized in statement of comprehensive income. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is
the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value in
use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing
use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are
estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit.
2.12 Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables
and available for sale financial assets. Management determines the classification of its
investments at initial recognition.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held-for-trading. A
financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in
the short-term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. The Company has no
assets classified in this category as of reporting dates.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for
maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Company’s loans and
receivables at the balance sheet date consist of trade and other receivables as well as cash
and cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.12
Financial assets (continued)
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this
category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current
assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the
statement of financial position date.
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date – the date on which the
Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets other than assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially
recognized at fair value plus transaction costs.
Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and
receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-forsale are recognized in equity.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair
value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive
income as gains and losses from investment securities.
Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income. Dividends on
available for sale equity instruments are recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income as part of other income when the group’s right to receive payments is established.
The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a
financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Company establishes fair value
by using valuation techniques. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid
prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the
Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. In case of available for sale
investments, significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the assets below their cost is
considered in determining whether the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for
available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between
the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial
asset previously recognized in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.
Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in this Note 2.13.
2.13
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses. The cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the
inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition.
The cost of inventories consumed is based on the weighted average formula.

amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision
for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the
Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the
receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will
enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments (more
than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.
The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest
rate. Assets with a short maturity are not discounted. The carrying amount of the asset is
reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in
the statement of comprehensive income. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is
written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of
amounts previously written off are recognized as current income in the statement of
comprehensive income.
2.15
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other
short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.16
Share capital
Share capital and retained earnings
(i) Shareholders’ capital
Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
(ii) Share issue costs
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options or to the
acquisition of a business are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(iii) Treasury shares
Where the Company purchases equity share capital, the consideration paid is deducted from
total shareholders’ equity as treasury shares until they are cancelled. Where such shares are
subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received is included in shareholders’ equity.
(iv) Reserves
Reserves were created during 2009 by merging of two companies PTK Holding and PTK JSC,
upon decision of the Government for allocation part of consolidated equity into reserves.
(v) Retained earnings
Retained earnings comprise of non-distributed earnings from the current and past periods.
2.17 Trade payables
Trade payables are carried at their fair value and subsequently measured at their amortized
cost by applying the effective interest rate method.

constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the
employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
2.19
Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or
constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the
total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
2.22 Finance income and expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested in bank deposits, gains on the
disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, and foreign currency gains. Interest income is
recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Finance expenses comprise foreign currency losses, unwinding of the discount on provisions, if
material, and impairment losses recognized on financial assets.
2.23 Dividend distribution
Distribution of dividends to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the
financial statements in the period when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders.
2.24 Income tax expense
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in

which case it is recognized in equity.
The tax currently payable is calculated and paid in accordance with Income Corporate Law No
03/L-162 entered into force commencing on 01 January 2010. Final tax on profit at a rate of
10% are payable based on the annual profit shown in the statutory statement of income as
adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. According to the current tax
legislation, tax losses may be carried forward within a period seven years following the year
in which the tax loss was incurred.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the
following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of
assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and
jointly controlled entities to the extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable
future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the
temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits
will be available against which temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related tax benefit will be realized.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
3.1
Financial risk factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including
currency risk, fair value interest risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk
and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the
Company’s financial performance.
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the
Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the
Company’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout
these financial statements.
The management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the
Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s risk management policies are
established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk
limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies
and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market and legislative conditions and
the Company’s activities.
3.2
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a
financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the
Company’s receivables from customers and investments in bank deposits.
Trade receivables
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of
incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments. The main
components of this allowance are a collective loss component established for similar
customers in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective
loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar
financial assets.
Investments in bank deposits
The Company has significant current and investment accounts with all of Kosovo’s bank
institutions.
Guarantees
The Company’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only upon a decision of authorized
directors or other key management personnel.
The process of managing the credit risk from operating activities includes preventive
measures such as creditability checking and prevention barring, corrective measures during
legal relationship for example reminding and disconnection activities, collaboration with
collection agencies and collection after legal relationship as litigation process, court
proceedings, involvement of the executive unit and factoring. The overdue payments are
followed through a debt escalation procedure based on customer’s type, credit class and
amount of debt.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company could not be able to settle or meet its
obligations on time.
The Company’s policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its
commitments in the foreseeable future. Finance sector is preparing cash flow forecasting for
liquidity requirements to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet operational needs at any
time. The forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans and
compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets. Any surplus cash held by the Company
over and above balance required for working capital needs is usually deposited in commercial
banks.
The table below analyses the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on
the remaining period at the financial position date to the contractual maturity date. Balances
due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not
significant. Great part of the trade payables has maturity within one year.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest
rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of
financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control
market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
Foreign exchange risk
As a whole, the Company is not exposed to currency risk because:
 revenue is earned in Euro
 purchases of main assets and materials used in the Company’s investment activities are
denominated in Euro
 financial assets are denominated in Euro.
Price risk
The Company is not significantly exposed to equity securities price risk since beside the
available-for-sale financial assets disclosed in Note 8, there are no other investments
classified as available-for-sale, which could be affected by risk variables such as stock
exchange prices.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the
risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investments in
bank deposits.
Company’s bank deposit accounts earn interest at commercial rates fixed at the date of the
respective contract and mature upon fixed dates. The Company had no interest-bearing
borrowings in both 2011 and 2010.

3.5
Capital risk management
The management’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain market
confidence and to sustain future development of the business.
Due to the external restrictions imposed by the environment (e.g. inability to place deposits
abroad, lengthy procurement processes, etc.) the management of the Company cannot
implement an efficient capital management specific to liberalized economies.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
The Company is not subject to contractual or legally imposed capital requirements.
3.6
Fair value estimation
Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could be replaced or a liability settled on
an arms length basis. Fair values have been based on management assumptions according to
the profile of the asset and liability base.
3.6.1 Financial instruments presented at fair value
The financial assets measured according to the fair value in the Statement of financial
position in accordance with the hierarchy of the fair value are shown in the next table. This
hierarchy groups the financial assets and liabilities into three levels that are based on the
significance of the incoming data used during the measurement of the fair value of the
financial assets. The hierarchy according to the fair value is determined as follows:
 Level 1: quoted prices (not adjusted) on the active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
 Level 2: other incoming data, aside from the quoted prices, included in Level 1 which are
available for asset or liability observing, directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. made of
prices) and
 Level 3: incoming data on the asset or liability that are not based on data available for
market observing.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Management discussed with the Audit, Finance and Insurance Committee, an Advisory
Committee to the Board of Directors of PTK J.S.C., the development, selection and disclosure
of the critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and
estimates.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Lack of an interconnection agreement with Telekom Serbia
PTK connects international fixed calls to foreign administrations through Belgrade on the
fixed lines managed by Telekom Serbia. Neither in the past nor currently have formal
contracts between PTK and Telekom Serbia been established. An interconnection agreement
that would regulate mutual relationships with regard to telecommunications traffic is absent.
PTK’s management considers it unrealistic to expect any kind of retrospective settlement in
regard to telephone traffic between Telekom Serbia and PTK and, instead, estimates it
possible that, pending further political developments between Kosovo and Serbia, it might
take more years before an interconnect agreement between the two parties is established.
In the absence of a formal interconnection agreement that would set out the tariffs for
incoming and outgoing calls to/from the ‘381’ network, it is impractical to measure the value
of the traffic to and from the ‘381’ network. It is measurable, however, that the incoming
calls to the ‘381’ network areas in Kosovo (“calls terminating in Kosovo”) are significantly
higher than the outgoing traffic from Kosovo to abroad (“outgoing calls”). This indicates that
if a settlement takes place, it would be likely to give rise to net revenue in favor of PTK. As a
retrospective settlement is considered unrealistic at present, these financial statements do
not reflect any financial effect from such international traffic in regard to assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses.
Recoverability of bank accounts and deposits
Subsequent to the end of 2005, Credit Bank of Pristina, with which the Company had deposits
at 31 December 2005, went into receivership following the withdrawal of its licence by
Banking and Payments Authority of Kosovo on 13 March 2006. Provision has been made in
these and prior year financial statements for the balances at 31 December 2011 and 2010 of
Euro 11,923 thousand and Euro 12,492 thousand respectively, as significant uncertainty exists
on the recoverability of the balances with this bank. In 2011, Euro 569 thousand (2010: Euro
10 thousand) are reimbursed and recognized as income accordingly.
To the extent that it is still not possible to determine the outcome of the liquidation process
and the amount of the deposits guaranteed by BPK, significant uncertainty exists on the
recoverability of the balances with this bank. Therefore, an impairment loss of 100% of the
amounts held with the bank has been provided. If there are enough liquidation assets to
cover creditors’ claims, revenue will be recognised in future periods up to the recovered
amount.
Land used by the Company
The management are of the opinion that certain plots of land are deemed to be owned by
PTK in view of continuing use within the definitions of Kosovo ownership. A value cannot be
applied to these assets at the present time. At the time of the verification of assets exercise
this item was excluded, due to the uncertainty of legal title.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Buildings used by the Company
During the verification of assets exercise in prior period the ownership of certain buildings,
identified as in use or under the control of PTK, could not be established, due mainly to the
lack of accessibility or lack of ownership documentation. A value cannot be applied to these
assets at the present time.
Useful life of assets
The determination of the useful lives of assets is based on historical experience with similar
assets as in broad economic or industry factors. The appropriateness of the estimated useful
lives is reviewed annually, or whenever there is an indication of significant changes in the
underlying assumptions. We believe that the accounting estimate related to the
determination of the useful lives of assets is a critical accounting estimate since it involves
assumptions about technological development in an innovative industry. Following this the
Company had made an assumption that the useful live of assets should remain the same as
the previous year.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When determining the
net realizable value, the most objective evidence / data available at the making of
assessments are taken.
Recoverability of trade receivables
Impairment for doubtful accounts is calculated based on estimated losses resulting from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimate on the aging of
our account receivables balance and our historical write-off experience, customer creditworthiness and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the
impairment loss for doubtful accounts. These involve assumptions about future customer
behavior and the resulting future cash collections. If the financial condition of our customers
were to deteriorate, actual write-offs of currently existing receivables may be higher than
expected and may exceed the level of the impairment losses recognized so far.
