Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements<br />
For The Year Ended 31 December <strong>2009</strong><br />
3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />
Financial instruments (Continued)<br />
Effective interest method (Continued)<br />
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss<br />
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading.<br />
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:<br />
• it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near future; or<br />
• it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a<br />
recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or<br />
• it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.<br />
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value arising on remeasurement<br />
recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.<br />
Other financial liabilities<br />
Other financial liabilities including bank and other borrowings, trade and other payables, amounts due to related<br />
parties and dividend payable are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.<br />
Convertible bonds<br />
(i) Convertible bonds containing liability component, conversion option derivative and early redemption<br />
derivatives<br />
Convertible bonds issued by the Group that contain liability, conversion option and early redemption<br />
options (which are not closely related to the host liability component) are classified separately into<br />
respective items on initial recognition. Conversion option that will be settled other than by the exchange<br />
of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity<br />
instruments is a conversion option derivative. At the date of issue, the liability, conversion option and<br />
redemption option components are recognised at fair value.<br />
In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible bonds is carried at amortised cost using<br />
the effective interest method. The conversion option and redemption option derivatives are measured at<br />
fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.<br />
Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability, conversion<br />
option and redemption option components in proportion to their relative fair values. Transaction<br />
costs relating to the conversion option and redemption option derivatives are charged to profit or loss<br />
immediately. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount<br />
of the liability portion and amortised over the period of the convertible bonds using the effective interest<br />
method.<br />
