Therefore amortized cost is a reasonable approximation to its Fair value. The Company has used market yield rates published by Central Bank for the fair value computation of Financial assets at amortised cost-Debt and other financial instruments.
Net assets of the investment is considered as the fair value of unquoted equity shares (Financial assets measured of fair value through other comprehensive income) due to the absence of most recent exist prices.
