3. Significant accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d)<br />
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)<br />
(d)<br />
Employee share options<br />
The Group measures <strong>the</strong> cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> fair value of <strong>the</strong> equity<br />
instruments at <strong>the</strong> date at which <strong>the</strong>y are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires<br />
determining <strong>the</strong> most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on <strong>the</strong> terms and conditions of <strong>the</strong> grant. This<br />
estimate also requires determining <strong>the</strong> most appropriate inputs <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> valuation model including <strong>the</strong> expected life of <strong>the</strong> share<br />
option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about <strong>the</strong>m. The assumptions and models used for estimating<br />
fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 32.<br />
(e)<br />
Fair value of <strong>financial</strong> instruments<br />
Where <strong>the</strong> fair values of <strong>financial</strong> instruments recorded on <strong>the</strong> balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
determined using valuation techniques including <strong>the</strong> discounted cash flow model. The inputs <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>se models are derived<br />
from observable market data where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing<br />
fair values. The judgments include considerations of liquidity and model inputs regarding <strong>the</strong> future <strong>financial</strong> performance<br />
of <strong>the</strong> investee, its risk profile, and economic assumptions regarding <strong>the</strong> industry and geographical jurisdiction in which <strong>the</strong><br />
investee operates. Changes in assumptions about <strong>the</strong>se fac<strong>to</strong>rs could affect <strong>the</strong> reported fair value of <strong>financial</strong> instruments.<br />
The valuation of <strong>financial</strong> instruments is described in more detail in Note 36.<br />
(f)<br />
Impairment of trade receivables<br />
The Group assesses at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>re is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired. To<br />
determine whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>re is objective evidence of impairment, <strong>the</strong> Group considers fac<strong>to</strong>rs such as <strong>the</strong> probability of insolvency<br />
or significant <strong>financial</strong> difficulties of <strong>the</strong> deb<strong>to</strong>r and default or significant delay in payments.<br />
Where <strong>the</strong>re is objective evidence of impairment, <strong>the</strong> amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on<br />
his<strong>to</strong>rical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of <strong>the</strong> Group’s trade receivables<br />
at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet is disclosed in Note 24 <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong>.<br />
