3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)<br />
(e) Investments in subsidiaries<br />
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost plus the fair value of share options granted to employees of the subsidiaries over<br />
the vesting period deemed as capital contribution. See accounting policy Note 3(t)(iii) on share-based compensation. Where<br />
an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its<br />
recoverable amount. See accounting policy Note 3(g)(i) on impairment of non-financial assets.<br />
(f) Financial instruments<br />
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity<br />
instrument of another enterprise.<br />
A financial asset is any asset that is cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise,<br />
a contractual right to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable,<br />
or an equity instrument of another enterprise.<br />
A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another enterprise,<br />
or to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially unfavourable.<br />
(i) Classification and measurement<br />
Financial assets<br />
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity,<br />
loans and receivables, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets<br />
were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.<br />
The Group does not hold any financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss and held-to-maturity.<br />
Financial assets are classified as current assets; except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date, in<br />
which case they are classified as non-current assets.<br />
Loans and receivables<br />
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in<br />
an active market. Financial assets in this category are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and<br />
subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Changes in the carrying value of these assets<br />
are recognised in the income statement.<br />
The Group’s loans and receivables comprise receivables (including inter-companies and related parties balances), cash<br />
and cash equivalents in the statements of financial position.<br />
Available-for-sale<br />
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any<br />
of the other categories. Financial assets in this category are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and<br />
subsequently, at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other<br />
comprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments,<br />
interest and dividends are recognised in the income statement. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in<br />
other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the income statement as a reclassification adjustment when<br />
the financial asset is derecognised.
