NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (CONT’D) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.5 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D) (a) Financial Assets (Cont’d) Equity Instruments (Cont’d) The designation at fair value through other comprehensive income is not permitted if the equity investment is either held for trading or is designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Dividend income from this category of financial assets is recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payment is established unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the equity investments. (b) Financial Liabilities (i) Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for trading or are designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. The changes in fair value (excluding interest expense) of these financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Other Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts), through the expected life of the financial liability or a shorter period (where appropriate). (c) Equity Instruments Equity instruments classified as equity are measured initially at cost and are not remeasured subsequently. Ordinary Shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity and recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation. INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 MATRIX CONCEPTS HOLDINGS BERHAD 160 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
