Amal Ltd | Annual Report 2023-24 Note 1 Significant accounting policies (continued) n) Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. These assets are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate (EIR) method where applicable, less provision for impairment based on expected credit loss. Trade receivables overdue for more than 180 days are considered as receivables with a significant increase in credit risk. o) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financials year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. p) Inventories Inventories are stated at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined on periodic moving weighted average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to effect the sale. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to the present location and condition. Due allowances are made for slow moving, non-moving, defective and obsolete inventories based on estimates made by the Group. Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment that are not plant and machinery get classified as inventory. q) Investments and other financial assets Classification and measurement The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss) ii) those measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the business model of the Group for managing financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (OCI). For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through OCI.
