NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
For <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> year ended 31 December 2008<br />
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)<br />
2.13 Borrowings<br />
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised<br />
cost. Any difference between <strong>the</strong> proceeds (net of transaction costs) and <strong>the</strong> redemption value is recognised in<br />
<strong>the</strong> income statement over <strong>the</strong> period of <strong>the</strong> borrowings using <strong>the</strong> effective interest method.<br />
2.14 Trade and o<strong>the</strong>r payables<br />
Trade and o<strong>the</strong>r payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using<br />
<strong>the</strong> effective interest method.<br />
2.15 Fair value estimation of <strong>financial</strong> assets and liabilities<br />
The fair values of <strong>financial</strong> instruments traded in active markets (such as exchange-traded and over-<strong>the</strong>-counter<br />
securities and derivatives) are based on quoted market prices at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date. The quoted market<br />
prices used for <strong>financial</strong> assets are <strong>the</strong> current bid prices; <strong>the</strong> appropriate quoted market prices for <strong>financial</strong><br />
liabilities are <strong>the</strong> current asking prices.<br />
The fair values of current <strong>financial</strong> assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
carrying amounts.<br />
2.16 Operating leases<br />
The Group leases investment properties under operating leases <strong>to</strong> third parties and related parties [Note 35(a)].<br />
Leases of investment properties where <strong>the</strong> Group retains substantially all risks and rewards incidental <strong>to</strong> ownership<br />
are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> lessees)<br />
is recognised in <strong>the</strong> income statement on a straight-line basis over <strong>the</strong> lease term.<br />
Initial direct costs incurred by <strong>the</strong> Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases are added <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> carrying<br />
amount of <strong>the</strong> leased assets and recognised as an expense in <strong>the</strong> income statement over <strong>the</strong> lease term on <strong>the</strong><br />
same basis as <strong>the</strong> lease income.<br />
2.17 Inven<strong>to</strong>ries<br />
Inven<strong>to</strong>ries are carried at <strong>the</strong> lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using <strong>the</strong> first-in, first-out<br />
method and includes all costs in bringing <strong>the</strong> inven<strong>to</strong>ries <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir present location and condition. Net realisable<br />
value is <strong>the</strong> estimated selling price in <strong>the</strong> ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.<br />
