Note No. 39.1 - Accounting Classifications & Fair Value Measurements

transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
All financial instruments are initially recognized and subsequently re-measured at fair value as described below :
1. Fair values of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loansfrom banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short-term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates andindividual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on the evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of thesereceivables.
The company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair values of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : Inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 : Input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
