4. Use of judgements and estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
A. | Judgements |
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following note:
Note 7(B): revenue recognition: whether revenue from providing service is recognized over time or at a point in time; and
Note 23(A): lease term: whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise extension options.

BIDANGIL PICTURES CO., LTD. |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
When measuring the fair value of a financial instruments measured at FVTPL, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
● | 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 (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). |
● | Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following note:
● | Note 22(B): financial instruments. |
5. Material accounting policies
The material accounting policies followed by the Group in preparation of its consolidated financial statements are as follows:
A. | New and amended standards or interpretations adopted by the Group |
The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2024.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the substantive rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise right to defer settlement of the liability or the expectations of management. Also, the settlement of liability includes the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments, however, it would be excluded if an option to settle them by the entity’s own equity instruments if compound financial instruments is met the definition of equity instruments and recognized separately from the liability. Covenants that the entity must comply with after the end of the reporting period do not affect the classification of a liability at the end of the reporting period. However, if a liability is classified as non-current as of the end of the reporting period despite covenants that must be complied with within 12 months after that date, the entity shall disclose information about the risk that the liability could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows - IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Supplier finance arrangements
The amendments to IAS 7 require entity to disclose information about its supplier finance arrangements that enables users of financial statements to assess the effects of those arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and on the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk when applying supplier finance arrangements. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
The amendments to IFRS 16 require a seller-lessee shall determine lease payments or revised lease payments in a way that the seller-lessee would not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee when subsequently measuring lease liabilities arising from a sale and leaseback. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
B. | New and amended standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Group |
The following new accounting standards and interpretation that have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2024 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group.
IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Lack of Exchangeability
The amendments require exchangeability of two currencies should be assessed in order to clarify reporting of foreign currency transactions in the absence of normal-functioning foreign exchange market. The amendments also require applicable spot exchange rate should be determined when the assessment indicates two currencies lack exchangeability. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with early application permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognised on the ‘settlement date’ and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognise financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date. Other clarifications include the classification of financial assets with ESG linked features via additional guidance on the assessment of contingent features. Clarifications have been made to non-recourse loans and contractually linked instruments. Additional disclosures are introduced for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments classified at fair value through OCI. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted, with an option to early adopt the amendments for contingent features only. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11
The amendments are annual improvements to the following standards:
- | IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards; |
- | IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures; |
- | IFRS 9 Financial instruments; |
- | IFRS 10 Consolidated financial instruments; and |
- | IAS 7 Statement of cash flows |
The new standard should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted. The Group is in review for the impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
Items in the statement of profit or loss will need to be classified into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 requires the Group to present specified totals and subtotals: ‘Operating profit or loss’, ‘Profit or loss’ and ‘Profit or loss before financing and income taxes’. Information related to management-defined performance measures should be disclosed. IFRS 18 also provides enhanced guidance on the principles of aggregation and disaggregation which focus on grouping items based on their shared characteristics. The new standard should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and earlier application is permitted. The Group is in review for the impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures
IFRS 19 allows eligible subsidiaries to apply IFRS Accounting Standards with the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19. A subsidiary may choose to apply the new standard in its consolidated, separate or individual financial statements provided that, at the reporting date, it does not have public accountability, and its parent produces consolidated financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards. A subsidiary applying IFRS 19 is required to disclose in its explicit and unreserved statements of compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards that IFRS 19 has been adopted. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

BIDANGIL PICTURES CO., LTD. |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
C. | Basis of consolidation |
i. | Subsidiary |
Subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
ii. | Non-controlling interests |
Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
iii. | Loss of control |
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
iv. | Transactions eliminated on consolidation |
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra- group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity- accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
D. | Foreign currency |
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non- monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss and presented within finance costs. Translation differences on Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognized in OCI:
● | an investment in equity securities designated as at FVOCI (except on impairment, in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognized in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss); |
● | a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and |
● | qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
E. | Revenue from contracts with customers |
The Group generates revenue primarily through providing the media production service.
The Group determines revenue recognition by:
● | identifying the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
● | identifying the performance obligations in each contract; |
● | determining the transaction price; |
● | allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in each contract; and |
● | recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services. |
Media production revenue
The Group operates the media production business that consists of planning, producing, and selling the theatrical films and television programs. The Group identifies the license which is provided along with media product as combined output and recognizes revenue over time by measuring its progress based on cost incurred towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation in accordance with Paragraph 35 (2) and (3) of IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers. The percentage-of-completion for each contract is calculated by dividing the cumulative cost incurred in relation to service performed by the Group by estimated total contract costs.
The Group recognizes unbilled receivables from media production service as contract assets and recognizes receipts in advance for prepaid media production services as contract liabilities. The Group capitalizes the cost associated with the production, including development costs, direct costs, and production overhead per title as prepayments and prepaid expenses. The Group amortizes the capitalized asset in ‘Cost of revenues’ on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income based on the percentage-of-completion for each contract.
F. | Operating segments |
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the chief executive officer. The Group’s operating segment has been determined to be a single business unit, for which the Group generates identifiable financial information that is regularly reported to the chief executive officer for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. The Group has a reportable segment as described in Note 6. Segment results that are reported to the chief operating decision maker include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
G. | Employee benefits |
i. | Short- term employee benefits |
Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render related services. When an employee has rendered a service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service
ii. | Defined contribution plans |
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
H. | Finance income and finance costs |
The Group’s finance income and finance costs include:
● | interest income; | |
● | interest expense; | |
● | dividend income; | |
● | the net gain or loss on financial assets at FVTPL; | |
● | the foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities; |
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
● | the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or | |
● | the amortized cost of the financial liability. |
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortized cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
I. | Income tax |
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.
i. | Current income tax |
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.

- | Has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and |

ii. | Deferred income tax |
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for:
● | temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; | |
● | temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and | |
● | taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognize a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Group has not rebutted this presumption.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
- | Has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and |
- | Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
J. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at banks, and investment securities with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are easily convertible to cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value.
K. | Property, plant and equipment |
i. | Recognition and measurement |
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
ii. | Subsequent expenditure |
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced parts are derecognized and the repairs and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the period they are incurred.
iii. | Depreciation |
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost or revalued amounts of the assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Office equipment | 5 years | ||
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years | ||
Right-of-use assets | 5~7 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
L. | Financial instruments |
i. | Recognition and initial measurement |
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

BIDANGIL PICTURES CO., LTD. |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
ii. | Classification and subsequent measurement |
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:
● | amortized cost; or |
● | FVTPL |
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
● | it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and |
● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
● | it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and |
● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets - Business model assessment
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
● | the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets; |
● | how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management; |
● | the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed; |
● | how managers of the business are compensated - e. g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and |
● | the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity. |

BIDANGIL PICTURES CO., LTD. |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets - Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:
● | contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows; |
● | terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features; |
● | prepayment and extension features; and |
● | terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features). |
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
Financial assets - Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at FVTPL: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost: These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities - Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

iii. | Derecognition |
Financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when:
● | the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or |
● | it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which either: |
- | substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred; or |
- | the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. |
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
Financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
When changes were made to a financial asset or financial liability in addition to changes to the basis for determining the contractual cash flows required by interest rate benchmark reform, the Group first updated the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial liability to reflect the change that is required by interest rate benchmark reform. After that, the Group applied the policies on accounting for modifications to the additional changes.
M. | Impairment |
i. | Non- derivative financial assets |
Financial instruments and contract assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on:
● | financial assets measured at amortized cost; and |
● | contract assets. |
The Group also recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on lease receivables, which are disclosed as part of trade and other receivables.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:
● | debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and |
● | other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition. |
Loss allowances for trade receivables (including lease receivables) and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 12 months past due.
16
BIDANGIL PICTURES CO., LTD. |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
● | the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realizing security (if any is held). |
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).
ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
● | significant financial difficulty of the debtor; |
● | the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise; |
● | it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or |
● | the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties. |
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual customers, the Group has a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 180 days past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
ii. | Non- financial assets |
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than biological assets, investment property, developing contents, contract assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
17
BIDANGIL PICTURES CO., LTD. |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
N. | Leases |
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
i. | As a lessee |
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
● | fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; |
● | variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; |
● | amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and |
● | the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. |
18
BIDANGIL PICTURES CO., LTD. |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 |
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
At the date of transition to IFRSs, The Group applies the following approach to all of its leases.
The Group measures that lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of transition to IFRSs.
The Group measures right-of-use asset at its carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of transition to IFRSs.
The Group uses hindsight in applying IFRS 16 such as the determination of lease term for contracts that contain options to extend or terminate a lease.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets (leases for which the underlying asset is valued at USD 5,000 or less) and short-term leases (leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date), including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
O. | Fair value measurement |
‘Fair value’ is 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 in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
When one is available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price - i. e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any unobservable inputs are judged to be insignificant in relation to the measurement, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognized in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.
P. | Concentration of Credit Risk |
The Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for customers on accounts receivable. The Group maintains reserves for potential credit losses, which are periodically reviewed.

B. | Measurement of fair values |
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
● | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asset or liability; |
● | Level 2: all inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable (either directly that is, prices, or indirectly that is, derived from prices) for the asset or liability; |
● | Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined based on the quoted market price as of the end of the reporting period. If the quoted prices are readily and regularly available through exchanges, sellers, brokers, industry groups, rating agencies or regulators and such prices represent actual market transactions that occur regularly between independent parties, they are considered active markets.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques use as much market observable information as possible and use the least amount of Company-specific information. At this time, if all the significant input variables required to measure the fair value are observable, the financial instruments are classified as Level 2.
If more than one significant input variable is not based on observable market information, the item is included in Level 3.
The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument include:
● | Market price or dealer price of a similar financial instrument |
● | The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by discounting the amount to present value using the leading exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period |
C. | Financial risk management |
The Group’s operating activities expose itself to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk from which the Group’s risk management program focuses on minimizing any adverse effects on its financial performance. The Group operates financial risk management policies and programs that closely monitor and respond to each risk factor.
i. | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterpart to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. In order to manage credit risk, the Group regularly evaluate the credit worthiness of each customer or counterparty considering the party’s financial information, past experience, its own trading records and other factors. In relation to the impairment of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition, the Group recognizes the changes in expected credit loss(“ECL”) in profit or loss at each reporting date. The carrying amount of a financial asset represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in financial institutions with strong credit rating. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.

The Group’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in some cases bank references.
The Group monitors customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or a legal entity, their geographic location, industry, trading history with the Group and existence of previous financial difficulties. The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.
