NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)<br />

for the year ended 31 December <strong>2012</strong><br />

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />

(11) Financial Instruments (Continued)<br />

90<br />

(f) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities<br />

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset expires, or where the<br />

Group transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.<br />

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss:<br />

– the carrying amounts; and<br />

– the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity.<br />

Where the obligations for financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the entire or parts of financial liabilities are derecognised.<br />

(12) Impairment of financial assets and non-financial long-term assets<br />

(a) Impairment of financial assets<br />

The carrying amount of financial assets (except those financial assets stated at fair value with changes in the fair values charged to profit or<br />

loss) are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists,<br />

impairment loss is provided.<br />

Objective evidences of impairment include but not limited to:<br />

(a) significant financial difficulty of the debtor;<br />

(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;<br />

(c) it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;<br />

(d) due to the significant financial difficulty of the debtor, financial assets is unable to be traded in active market;<br />

(e) significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor and may not<br />

recover the investment costs; and<br />

(f) a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.<br />

– Receivables and held-to-maturity investments<br />

Receivables and held-to-maturity investments are assessed for impairment on an individual basis.<br />

Where impairment is assessed on an individual basis, an impairment loss in respect of a receivable or held-to-maturity investment is<br />

calculated as the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows (exclusive of future credit losses<br />

that have not been incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.<br />

Impairment loss on receivables and held-to-maturity investments is reversed in profit or loss if evidence suggests that the financial assets’<br />

carrying amounts have increased and the reason for the increase is objectively as a result of an event occurred after the recognition of the<br />

impairment loss. The reversed carrying amount shall not exceed the amortised cost if the financial assets had no impairment recognised.<br />

– Available-for-sale financial assets<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets are assessed for impairment on an individual basis.<br />

When available-for-sale financial assets are impaired, despite not derecognised, the cumulative losses resulted from the decrease in fair<br />

value which had previously been recognised directly in shareholders’ equity, are reversed and charged to profit or loss.<br />

Impairment loss of available-for-sale debt instrument is reversed, if the reason for the subsequent increase in fair value is objectively as<br />

a result of an event occurred after the recognition of the impairment loss. Impairment loss for available-for-sale equity instrument is not<br />

reversed through profit or loss.<br />
