NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 MARCH 2009 (CONTINUED)<br />

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)<br />

(r) Financial instruments (continued)<br />

210<br />

(iv) Fair value estimation for disclosure purposes<br />

(s) Borrowings<br />

The fair value of publicly traded derivatives and securities is based on quoted market prices at<br />

the balance sheet date.<br />

The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward foreign<br />

exchange market rates at the balance sheet date.<br />

In assessing the fair value of non-traded derivatives and financial instruments, the Group uses<br />

a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at<br />

each balance sheet date. Unquoted investments are valued based on quoted investments<br />

with similar features.<br />

The fair value of financial liabilities with a maturity of more than one year is estimated by<br />

discounting the future contractual cash flows at this current market interest rate available to<br />

the Group for similar financial instruments.<br />

The face values, less any estimated credit adjustments, for financial assets and liabilities<br />

classified as current are assumed to approximate their fair values.<br />

Borrowings are initially recognised based on the proceeds received, net of transaction costs<br />

incurred. Subsequently, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method;<br />

any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised<br />

in the income statement over the period of the borrowings.<br />

Borrowing costs are charged to the Consolidated Income Statements as an expense in the period in<br />

which they have accrued.<br />

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has the unconditional right to defer<br />

settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.<br />

(t) Share capital<br />

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares<br />

are expensed off in the Consolidated Income Statements.<br />

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when proposed or declared before the<br />

balance sheet date. A dividend proposed or declared after the balance sheet date, but before the<br />

financial statements are authorised for issue, is not recognised as a liability at the balance sheet<br />

date. Upon the dividend becoming payable, it will be accounted for as liability.
