REVIEW OF CTASSIFICATION OF ASSETS


Assets are subclassified as current assets and non-current assets.

A. CURRENT ASSEIS

Current Assets are classified and presented according to liquidity with the most liquid
followed by those with lesser liquidity. Since cash is the most liquid, it is always listed first
followed by other current assets according to their proximity to cash.

Improvements to International Accounting Standards -7 [December 2003J classify asset as
current asset when it is:

a. expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the entity's normal
operating cycle;
lr
b. held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. expected to be realized within twelve months of the balance sheet date; or

d. cash or a cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a
liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

use in the operations of the business.

cash which are subject to an insignificant risk to changes in value [per SE4S No. 22,revised 2000).

Marketable Securities are stocks and bonds purchased by the enterprise and are to be held
for only a short span of time or short duration. They are usually purchased when a business has
excess cash.
