NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

Revenue

Our total revenue increased by 100.9% from US$1,398.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$2,809.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to increase in revenue from each of the businesses as follows:

Digital Entertainment: Revenue increased by 80.7% from US$731.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$1,322.6 million for the nine months ended<br> September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to the increase in our active user base as well as the deepened paying user penetration, and in particular, the continued success of our self-developed game Free Fire.
E-commerce and other services: Revenue increased by 113.0% from US$526.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$1,120.8 million for the nine<br> months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily driven by the growth of our e-commerce marketplace, and positive developments in each of our marketplace revenue streams – transaction-based fees, value-added services, and<br> advertising. It is a result of our commitment to continuously enhance our service offerings as we seek to create greater value for our platform users.
--- ---
Sales of goods: Revenue increased by 161.1% from US$140.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$365.7 million for the nine months ended September<br> 30, 2020, primarily due to the increase in our product offerings.
--- ---

Our revenue in 2020 has been impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 by, among other things, increasing demand for online digital entertainment and e-commerce, and the impact of the pandemic on cross-border transactions, as various forms of stay-at-home orders and physical restrictions have been implemented in several of our markets or the markets which are part of the supply chains of our sellers, some of which has generally rebounded. As the COVID-19 situation remains fluid and continues to evolve, its impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Cost of Revenue

Our total cost of revenue increased by 88.4% from US$1,058.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$1,993.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our total cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 75.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 71.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Digital Entertainment: Cost of revenue increased by 66.4% from US$296.8 million for the nine<br> months ended September 30, 2019 to US$494.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was largely in line with revenue growth in our digital entertainment business. Improvement in gross profit margins was largely<br> due to higher revenue contribution from our self-developed game.
E-commerce and other services: Cost of revenue increased by 84.7% from US$612.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$1,132.1 million for the nine<br> months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher costs of logistics, including expenses associated with fulfilment services we provided to sellers as part of our value-added services, and other costs incurred in<br> line with growth of our e-commerce marketplace, including, among other costs, higher bank transaction fees driven by GMV growth, as well as higher staff compensation and benefit costs.
--- ---
Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold increased by 147.7% from US$148.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$367.8 million for the nine months<br> ended September 30, 2020. The increase was largely in line with the increase in our product offerings.
--- ---
Gross Profit
---

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was US$340.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and US$815.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We had gross margins of 24.3% and 29.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and our digital entertainment business had gross margins of 59.5% and 62.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Other Operating Income

Our other operating income increased by 1,084.3% from US$9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$116.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in our other operating income was mainly due to the rebates from e-commerce related logistic services provided by third parties.


Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our sales and marketing expenses increased by 85.7% from US$627.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$1,165.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to the increased sales and marketing expenses across our businesses. The increase in the sales and marketing expenses of our digital entertainment business was primarily due to higher online marketing costs. The increase in the sales and marketing expenses of our e-commerce business was primarily attributable to the ramping up of brand marketing and marketing incentives as well as higher staff compensation and benefit costs and showed our continued improvement in growth efficiency as the market leader. The increase in the sales and marketing expenses of our digital financial services business was in line with our growth initiatives.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 69.5% from US$276.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$468.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher staff compensation and benefit costs as well as provision for credit losses for our digital financial services business.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses increased by 127.9% from US$107.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to US$244.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the increase in research and development staff force.

Non-operating Income or Losses, Net

Non-operating income or losses consist of interest income, interest expense, investment gain, fair value change for 2017 convertible notes and foreign exchange gain (loss). We recorded a net non-operating loss of US$462.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a net non-operating loss of US$55.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The net non-operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to fair value loss of US$466.1 million on the 2017 convertible notes as our share prices significantly exceeded the conversion prices of the 2017 convertible notes.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of US$49.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and US$97.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to withholding tax and corporate income tax expenses incurred by our digital entertainment segment.

Share of Results of Equity Investees

We recorded share of losses of equity investees of US$2.6 million and US$0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net losses of US$1,175.8 million and US$1,099.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively.


Segment Reporting

We have three reportable segments, namely, digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial services. The chief operating decision maker reviews the performance of each segment based on revenue and certain key operating metrics of the operations and uses these results for the purposes of allocating resources to and evaluating the financial performance of each segment.

Information about segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020 presented were as follows:

(1) A combination of multiple business activities that does not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable segments are grouped together as “Other<br> Services”.
(2) Unallocated expenses are mainly related to share-based compensation and general and corporate administrative costs such as professional fees and other miscellaneous<br> items that are not allocated to segments. These expenses are excluded from segment results as they are not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker as part of segment performance.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
--- ---

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Sea Limited (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information using accounting policies that are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

VIE disclosures

The aggregate carrying amounts of the total assets and total liabilities of the VIEs as of September 30, 2020 were $388,376 and $572,300 respectively (December 31, 2019: $598,727 and $714,034, respectively). There were no pledges or collateralization of the VIEs’ assets. Creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiaries of the VIEs, and such amounts have been parenthetically presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The VIEs hold certain assets, including land, data servers and related equipment for use in their operations. The VIEs do not own any facilities except for the rental of certain office premises, warehouses and data centers from third parties under operating lease arrangements. They also hold certain value-added technology licenses, registered copyrights, trademarks and registered domain names, including the official website, which are also considered as revenue-producing assets. However, none of such assets was recorded on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as such assets were all acquired or internally developed with insignificant cost and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company also hires a sales and marketing as well as a research and development workforce for its daily operations and such costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has not provided any financial or other support that it was not previously contractually required to provide to the VIEs during the periods presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
--- ---
(a) Principles of consolidation
--- ---

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs for which the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, estimating the useful lives and impairment assessment of long-lived assets and goodwill, accounting for and impairment assessment of investments, impairment assessment of accounts receivable and other receivables, accounting for deferred income taxes, accounting for share-based compensation arrangements and accounting for the Company’s financial instruments where the Company is the issuer. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Given the global economic climate and unforeseen effects from COVID-19 pandemic, the process of estimation is becoming more challenging. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
--- ---
(c) Fair value of financial instruments
--- ---

Available-for-sale investments are initially recognized at acquisition cost and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The 2017 Convertible Notes were carried at fair value, and had been fully converted into Class A ordinary shares of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The liability component of the other convertible notes was initially measured at fair value and subsequently amortized to its redemption amount using the effective interest rate method. The Company, with the assistance of an independent third party valuation firm, determined the estimated fair value of its non-current available-for-sale investments and convertible notes that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to for those goods or services. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive reduced by discounts, incentives and rebates. Revenue also excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including sales taxes and indirect taxes.

The Company evaluates revenue from services and sales of goods to determine if it controls such services and goods to be the principal (i.e., report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report revenues on a net basis). The key indicators that the Company evaluates in determining gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, (i) which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; (ii) which party bears inventory risks before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer; and (iii) which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
--- ---
(e) Goodwill
--- ---

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired entity as a result of the Company's acquisitions of interests in its subsidiary and consolidated VIEs. During the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period, any adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company applies a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a goodwill allocated to the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

No impairment of goodwill was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020.

(f) Allowance for credit losses

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments with the cumulative effect of adoption recorded as an adjustment to the beginning accumulated deficit. The amendments require the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale investments to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the investment.

The adoption of the new accounting standard on January 1, 2020 does not result in a material adjustment to the beginning accumulated deficit.

Receivables

The Company has also elected the practical expedients permitted under the new accounting standard, which amongst other things, allowed the use of fair value of collateral at the reporting date when recording the net carrying amount of the receivables and determining the allowance for credit losses for a financial asset for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Company’s assessment as of the reporting date (collateral-dependent financial asset).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
--- ---
(f) Allowance for credit losses (continued)
--- ---

Receivables (continued)

The Company has established a provision matrix that based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the receivable and economic environment. It reflects the probability-weighted outcome, time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowances for credit losses are calculated on an aggregate basis for various customer segments that are considered to have similar credit characteristics and risk of loss. The above-mentioned provision matrix has also been used to determine allowances for credit losses for off-balance sheet loan commitments.

Available-for-sale investments

The Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the investment with the amortized cost basis of the security to determine if a credit loss exists. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the investment, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses are recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than amortized cost basis.

(g) Recent accounting pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting and disclosures for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 in its first quarter of 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
--- ---
(a) Acquisitions
--- ---

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company acquired two companies and their underlying subsidiaries for an aggregate consideration of $259,960. As a result, both acquisitions were consolidated as subsidiaries of the Company from the date of acquisition.

The allocation of the purchase price as of the date of acquisition is summarized as follows:

Cash and cash equivalent
Prepaid expense and other assets, net of allowance for credit losses of 21,471
Long-term investments
Identifiable intangible assets (i)
Others
Total assets acquired
Accrued expenses, payables and liabilities )
Borrowings )
Others )
Total liabilities assumed )
Net assets acquired
Fulfilled by:
Cash consideration
Fair value of non-controlling interests (ii)
Fair value of previously held interests (iii)
Goodwill

All values are in US Dollars.

(i) Acquired intangible assets had estimated amortization periods not exceeding eight years.
(ii) Fair value of non-controlling interests was estimated with reference to the recent purchase price per share as of the acquisition date.
--- ---
(iii) Fair value of previously held interests was estimated based on the purchase consideration payable to similar instruments and recorded a gain of $3,003 in the consolidated statements of operations for the period ended September 30, 2020.
--- ---

The goodwill, which is not tax deductible, is primarily attributable to synergies expected to be achieved from the acquisitions.

The revenue and results since the acquisition date included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the period ended September 30, 2020 were insignificant. The Company’s revenue and results for the period would not be materially different should the acquisitions have otherwise occurred on January 1, 2020.

The related transaction costs of the acquisitions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

--- ---
(b) Disposals
--- ---

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company lost control over certain subsidiaries. As a result, the Company derecognized goodwill of $15,247 and recognized a gain of disposal in the consolidated statements of operations as “Investment gain, net”, which includes gain from remeasurement of remaining interest of $37,083. The remaining interest in a former subsidiary was measured at fair value, estimated with reference to the recent selling price per share as of the disposal date and considered a related party after deconsolidation.

All values are in US Dollars.

(a) 2017 Convertible Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued the convertible promissory notes (the “2017 Convertible Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of $675,000, at an interest rate of 5% per annum, compounded annually on the unconverted and unpaid principal amount until the first to occur of (i) the maturity date, subject to further extension at investors’ election, (ii) the last day of the lockup period related to the initial public offering (“IPO”), (iii) the date of any conversion of the convertible promissory note in full, and (iv) the date of any other repayment or redemption of the convertible promissory note in full. The 2017 Convertible Notes will mature on their respective third anniversary dates.

The noteholders have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes in whole or in part of a minimum of 50%, into fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares of the Company at any time following the IPO closing date up to the maturity date if an IPO occurs, at a conversion price ranging from $13.13 to $14.26  calculated according to an agreed-upon formula which stipulates a discount to the IPO price based on a discount rate and the time period between the issuance dates of the relevant 2017 Convertible Notes and the IPO pricing date, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

Following the closing of the IPO on October 20, 2017, the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing the underlying Class A ordinary shares are publicly traded and the Conversion Option is subject to derivative accounting. The Company elected to use the fair value option which would require the hybrid instrument to be measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2020, certain noteholders had converted the outstanding principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes totalling $615,000 and $10,000 into Class A ordinary shares. The 2017 Convertible Notes had been fully converted into Class A ordinary shares of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The 2018 Convertible Notes, 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes holders (the “Holders”) have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal amount of the convertible notes, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1 principal amount (i) upon satisfaction of one or more of the conversion conditions as defined in the indenture prior to the close of business day immediately preceding the agreed conversion date; or (ii) anytime on or after the agreed conversion date until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date (the “Conversion Option”).

The conversion is subject to the anti-dilution and make-whole fundamental change adjustments. Upon conversion, the Company has the right, at its option, to pay or deliver, either cash, ADSs, or a combination of cash and ADSs to the Holders.

If certain events of default, changes in tax laws of the relevant taxing jurisdiction or fundamental change, optional redemption or clean up redemption as defined in the indenture were to occur, of which the optional redemption and clean up redemption only applies to the 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes, the outstanding obligations under the respective convertible notes could be immediately due and payable (the “Contingent Redemption Options”).

The Company evaluated the Conversion Option and Contingent Redemption Options in accordance with ASC 815 to determine if these features require bifurcation. The Conversion Option was not required to be bifurcated because it was indexed to the Company’s ADSs and meets all additional conditions for equity classification. The Contingent Redemption Options were not required to be bifurcated because they were considered to be clearly and closely related to the debt host, as the convertible notes were not issued at a substantial discount and are redeemable at par.

Capped call transactions

In connection with the offering of 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (collectively, the “Capped Calls”). The details of the Capped Calls are as follows:

2019 Convertible Notes 2020 Convertible Notes
Initial strike price per share $ 50.13 $ 90.46
Initial cap price per share $ 70.36 $ 136.54

The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential economic dilution of approximately 22,940,000 and 12,713,000 shares to our Class A ordinary shares upon any conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes, respectively, with such reduction or offset, as the case may be, subject to a cap based on the cap price. As the Capped Calls are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and are equity classified, they are recorded in shareholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivative. The costs of $97,060 and $135,700 incurred in connection with the Capped Calls of the 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes, respectively, were recorded as reductions to additional paid-in capital. Capped Calls are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they would be antidilutive under treasury stock method.

No consideration was received by the Company for this issuance of Class A ordinary shares. These Class A ordinary shares are legally issued and outstanding but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and therefore, have been excluded from the computation of loss per share. Any Class A ordinary shares not used in the settlement of share incentive awards will be returned to the Company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, 5,119,481 and 4,504,376 issued Class A ordinary shares were used to settle the exercise of share incentive awards.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures cash equivalents, restricted cash, available-for-sale investments and 2017 Convertible Notes at fair value. The liability component of the 2018 Convertible Notes, 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes is measured at fair value on its issuance date. Cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using a quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

As of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, Level 3 assets and liabilities of the Company included investments in convertible loans, exchangeable loan and preference shares of investees, 2017 Convertible Notes and other current assets.

Investments in debt securities - for long term investment in debt securities, the Company used the Market approach to determine the equity value of the investees.  The fair value of debt securities was then derived from the equity value of the investees taking into account business risk, volatility and discount rates which requires the Company to make complex and subjective judgments. For short-term investment in debt securities, the carrying amount is approximate fair value due to its short-term nature.

2017 Convertible Notes – the Company used a binomial tree model to determine the fair value of the 2017 Convertible Notes. The binomial pricing model traces the evolution of the 2017 Convertible Notes’ key underlying variables in discrete-time. This is done by means of a binomial lattice (tree), for a number of time steps between the end of reporting period, which was December 31, 2019. The valuation model requires the Company to make complex and subjective judgments on certain underlying inputs applied to the valuation models including the expected volatility of its share price and estimated credit spread as of December 31, 2019.

Other current assets – the Company used Market approach to determine the fair value of foreclosed assets by comparing to the sale and purchase transactions of comparable assets in the market, adjusted with differences such as size, physical condition, location etc.

2018 Convertible Notes, 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes – the Company used discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of the liability component (non-recurring, Level 3). The discounted cash flow took into account the present value of expected future cash flows from coupon interest and redemption amount, discounted by the credit yield as at issuance date with reference to similar instruments that did not have associated convertible features.
