NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
31 December <strong>2011</strong><br />
3.2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />
(Continued)<br />
Investments and other financial assets (Continued)<br />
Subsequent measurement<br />
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:<br />
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss<br />
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and<br />
financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial<br />
assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near<br />
term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading<br />
unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments as defined by IAS 39.<br />
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position<br />
at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in other income and gains or finance costs in<br />
the income statement. These net fair value changes do not include any dividends or interest<br />
earned on these financial assets, which are recognised in accordance with the policies set out for<br />
“Revenue recognition” below.<br />
Financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are<br />
designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria under IAS 39 are satisfied.<br />
The Group evaluates its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (held for trading) to<br />
assess whether the intent to sell them in the near term is still appropriate. When, in rare<br />
circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets and<br />
management’s intent to sell them in the foreseeable future significantly changes, the Group may<br />
elect to reclassify these financial assets. The reclassification from financial assets at fair value<br />
through profit or loss to loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or held-tomaturity<br />
investments depends on the nature of the assets. This evaluation does not affect any<br />
financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss using the fair value option at<br />
designation as these instruments cannot be reclassified after initial recognition.<br />
Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at<br />
fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host<br />
contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit<br />
or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value<br />
recognised in the income statement. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of<br />
the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.<br />
