[Financial Instruments]
1. Status of financial instruments
The Company and its subsidiaries hold financial instruments such as trade receivables and payables, loans and guarantees, corporate bonds and borrowings, investments, and derivatives.
The Company and its subsidiaries conduct business transactions and operations in regions around the world, and consequently are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk, stock price risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company and its subsidiaries utilize periodic monitoring and other means to manage these risks.
(1) Foreign exchange rate risk management
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk related to transactions in foreign currencies due to their significant involvement in import/export trading. Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries work to minimize foreign exchange rate risk through hedge transactions that utilize derivatives, such as foreign exchange forward contracts.
(2) Interest rate risk management
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to interest rate risk in both raising and using funds for investing, financing, and operating activities. Among interest insensitive assets, such as investment securities or fixed assets, the portion acquired using floating interest loans is considered to be the interest mismatch amount exposed to interest rate risk. The Company and its subsidiaries seek to quantify the interest rate risk to better control the fluctuation of gains and losses due to interest rate changes.
|爀 㘀
In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries periodically track interest rate trends and monitor the
amount of influence on interest payments due to interest rate changes, using the Earnings at Risk (EaR).
(3) Commodity price risk management
The Company and its subsidiaries conduct actual demand transactions that are based on the hedge
transactions of a variety of commodities. As a result, because it holds long or short positions in light of market prices, in some cases the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to commodity price fluctuation risk. Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries analyze inventories and purchase and sales contracts, and each Division Company has established middle and back offices for major commodities, which establish a balance limit and loss cut limit for each commodity, as well as conduct monitoring, management, and periodic reviews.
To reduce commodity price risks, the Company and its subsidiaries use such hedges as futures and forward contracts.
(4) Stock price risk management
The Company and its subsidiaries hold a variety of marketable equity securities, mainly to strengthen relationships with customers, suppliers, and other parties, and to secure business income, and to increase corporate value through means such as making a wide range of proposals to investees, and consequently are exposed to stock price fluctuation risk. Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries periodically track and monitor the amount of influence on consolidated shareholders' equity, using the Value at Risk (VaR).
(5) Credit risk management
Through trade receivables, loans, guarantees, and other formats, the Company and its subsidiaries grant
credit to their trading partners, both domestically and overseas. The Company and its subsidiaries, therefore, bear credit risk in relation to such receivables becoming uncollectible due to the deteriorating credit status or insolvency of the Company's and its subsidiaries' partners, and in relation to assuming responsibilities to fulfill contracts where an involved party is unable to continue its business and therefore cannot fulfill its obligations under the contracts. Therefore, when granting credit, the Company and its subsidiaries work to reduce risk by conducting risk management through the establishment of credit limits and the acquisition of collateral or guaranties as needed. At the same time, the Company and its subsidiaries establish an allowance for doubtful accounts by estimating expected credit losses based on the creditworthiness, the status of receivable collection, and the status of receivables in arrears of business partners. The Company and its subsidiaries, having transactions in a broad range of businesses across a wide range of regions, are not exposed to credit risk that is significantly concentrated on any individual counterparty.
(6) Liquidity risk management
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to liquidity risk in both raising and using funds for investing, financing, and operating activities, as well as repayments of borrowings. In addition to securing flexibility in fundraising in response to changes in financial conditions and reducing the cost of funds, the Company and its subsidiaries have taken steps to diversify their sources of funds and methods of fundraising.

Note: Of the Non-current receivables reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the shareholder loan to Chia Tai Bright Investment Company Limited ("CTB") accompanying the acquisition of CITIC Limited shares is not included above, and the information concerning the said financial instrument is described in (4) below.
(1) Valuation techniques for fair values of financial instruments
IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. IFRS 13 also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value and requires that each fair value be categorized into one of the following three levels based on its observability of inputs:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for identical assets or liabilities.
The Company and its subsidiaries use the following valuation techniques for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The financial instruments classified as FVTPL and FVTOCI financial assets consist of securities and alternative investments. Securities that are listed on exchanges are measured using quoted market prices. When quoted prices in active markets in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency are available, they are classified as Level 1. In contrast, instruments that are measured at quoted prices in markets in which there are relatively few transactions are classified as Level 2.
Securities that are not listed on exchanges are measured mainly using the discounted cash flow and modified net assets methods based on comprehensive consideration of various inputs that are available to the Company and its subsidiaries, including expectation of future income of the investee, the net asset value of the subject stock, and the actual value of significant assets held by the said investee. If the amount affected by unobservable inputs covers a significant proportion of the fair value, the security is classified as Level 3, and if the amount affected by unobservable inputs does not cover a significant proportion of fair value, the security is classified as Level 2.
|爀 㠀
On the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the financial instruments classified as FVTPL and FVTOCI financial assets are included in Other current financial assets and Other investments.
Derivative assets and derivative liabilities consist of currency derivatives, interest rate derivatives, and commodity derivatives. The derivative instruments that are traded in the active market are valued at quoted market prices and classified as Level 1. The other derivative instruments that are measured using commonly used fair value pricing models, such as the Black-Scholes model, based upon observable inputs only, are classified as Level 2.
On the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, derivative assets are included in Other current financial assets and Non-current financial assets other than investments and receivables, and derivative liabilities are included in Other current financial liabilities and Other non-current financial liabilities.
The fair values of Non-current receivables and Non-current financial assets other than investments and receivables (excluding derivative assets) are estimated based on the present value of future cash flows discounted using the current rates of loans or receivables with similar terms, conditions, and maturities being offered to borrowers or customers with similar credit ratings and are classified as Level 2.
Non-current receivables and Non-current financial assets other than investments and receivables, for which the Company and its subsidiaries recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts, are classified as Level 3.
The fair values of Long-term debentures and borrowings and Other non-current financial liabilities (excluding derivative liabilities) are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted
using the current borrowing rates of similar debt instruments having comparable maturities and are classified as Level 2.
Of the securities included in Other current financial assets and Other investments, financial assets measured at amortized cost are primarily public and corporate bonds for which the fair values are approximately the same as their carrying amounts.
The carrying amounts of current financial assets and liabilities other than those mentioned above are approximately the same as their fair values mainly because of their short maturities.
Based on the policies and procedures defined by the Company, the Company and its subsidiaries apply the best available valuation techniques and inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities by considering their nature, features, and risk. The assets and liabilities that are classified as Level 3 are mainly measured by the discounted cash flow and modified net assets methods. In addition, the result of the measurement of the fair value has been approved by the appropriate authority in each Division Company.
The fair value of assets and liabilities that are measured by discounted cash flow fluctuates depending on the discount rates that are applied. These discount rates are applied to each financial asset by calculating the risk-free rate, which includes country risk premium (Approximately 8-17%. Meanwhile, for the resource- related investments in Russia, higher discounted rate reflecting rise of the country risk was applied.)
If the unobservable inputs have been changed to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions, the effect is expected to be insignificant.
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize transfers of assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of quarter when the transfer occurs.
