3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(o) Borrowings
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the income statement
when incurred.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable
that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the
extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a
prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to a financial instrument, or a component part, classified as a liability is reported
within finance cost in the income statement.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as noncurrent
liabilities.
(i) Borrowings in a designated hedging relationship
Borrowings subject to cash flow hedges are recognised initially at fair value based on the applicable spot price plus any
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of borrowing. These borrowings are subsequently carried at
amortised costs, translated at applicable spot exchange rate at reporting date. Any difference between the final amount
paid to discharge the borrowing and the initial proceeds is recognised in the income statement over the borrowing
period using the effective interest method.
Currency gains or losses on the borrowings are recognised in the income statement, along with the associated gains or losses
on the hedging instrument, which have been transferred from the cash flow hedging reserve to the income statement.
(ii) Borrowings not in a designated hedging relationship
Borrowings not in a designated hedging relationship are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the issue of borrowing. These borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised costs. Any
difference between the final amount paid to discharge the borrowing and the initial proceeds is recognised in the income
statement over the borrowing period using the effective interest method.
(p) Provisions for liabilities and charges
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the
amount can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle
the obligation by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time
is recognised as interest expense.
(i) Site rectification and decommissioning works
Provision for site rectification works is based on management’s best estimate and the past trend of costs for rectification
works to be carried out to fulfil new regulatory guidelines and requirements imposed after network cell sites were built.
