Company classifies financial assets in one of the following four categories:
(i) Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets at FVTPL are financial assets held for trading or upon initial recognition it is designated
as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial asset classified as held for trading if it is acquired or
incurred principally for the purpose of selling and repurchasing it in the near term, or it is a part of a
portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a
recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking, or it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a
designated and effective hedging instrument.
After initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at its fair value. Gains or losses arising
from a change in the fair value of financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
