c. Held-to-maturity investments and accounts<br />

receivable:<br />

Financial asset model provided for in IFRIC 12<br />

This line item includes the service concession<br />

arrangements related to infrastructure in which the<br />

consideration consists of an unconditional contractual right<br />

to receive cash or another financial asset, either because<br />

the grantor guarantees to pay the operators specified or<br />

determinable amounts or because it guarantees to pay the<br />

operator the shortfall between amounts received from<br />

users of the public service and specified or determinable<br />

amounts. Therefore, these are concession arrangements in<br />

which demand risk is borne in full by the grantor. In these<br />

cases, the amount payable by the grantor is recognised in<br />

assets in the consolidated statements of financial position<br />

as a loan or a receivable.<br />

To calculate the amount payable by the grantor, the value<br />

of the construction, operation and/or maintenance services<br />

provided and the interest implicit in arrangements of this<br />

nature are taken into consideration.<br />

Revenue from the services provided in each period<br />

increases the amount of the related receivables with a<br />

credit to sales. The interest on the consideration for the<br />

services provided increases the amount of the receivables<br />

with a credit to other operating income. Amounts received<br />

from the grantor reduce the total receivable with a charge<br />

to cash.<br />

Set forth below are details of the main toll road<br />

concessions in force to which the financial asset model is<br />

applied, showing their duration and the consolidation<br />

Financial assets are derecognised when the risks and<br />

rewards of ownership of the financial asset are<br />

substantially transferred. In the specific case of<br />

receivables, this is deemed to occur when the default and<br />

delinquency risks have been transferred.<br />

3.3.8 Derivative financial instruments<br />

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair<br />

value on the date they are arranged. Subsequent changes in<br />

fair value are also recognised at each reporting date. The<br />

method used to recognise gains or losses on derivatives<br />

depends on whether the instrument has been designated as a<br />

hedging instrument and, as the case may be, on the type of<br />

hedge involved. The Group uses the following types of hedge:<br />

i. Cash flow hedge: a cash flow hedge hedges exposure to<br />

highly probable future transactions and changes in cash<br />

flows. When there is overhedging (effectiveness of<br />

between 80% and 100%), the gain or loss on the<br />

ineffective portion of the hedging instrument is taken to<br />

the consolidated income statement and the gain or loss on<br />

the effective portion is recognised directly in other<br />

comprehensive income. When there is underhedging<br />

(effectiveness of between 100% and 125%) the gain or<br />

loss on the effective portion is recognised in other<br />

comprehensive income, while those on the ineffective<br />

portion will not have any effect either on other<br />

comprehensive income or income statement. The amount<br />

deferred in other comprehensive income is not recognised<br />

in the income statement until the gains or losses on the<br />

hedged transactions are recognised in income statement or<br />

until the transactions mature. That amount is recognised in<br />

the same line item as the gain or loss on the hedged item.<br />

Lastly, should the hedge become ineffective, the amount<br />

recognised in other comprehensive income until then is<br />

taken to income statement proportionately over the term<br />

of the derivative arranged.<br />

Fair value hedge: a fair value hedge hedges exposure to<br />

changes in the value of a recognised asset or liability or a<br />

firm commitment relating to a future transaction. The loss<br />

or gain on the hedging instrument and the loss or gain on<br />

the hedged asset or liability is recognised in income<br />

statement.<br />

Other receivables<br />

Held-to-maturity investments, loans granted and<br />

receivables are initially recognised at fair value and are<br />

subsequently measured at amortised cost, and any<br />

accrued interest is recognised on the basis of the effective<br />

interest rate. The effective interest rate is the discount rate<br />

that exactly matches the carrying amount of a financial<br />

instrument to all its estimated cash flows of all kinds<br />

through its residual life. If at year-end there is objective<br />

evidence that not all amounts receivable will be collected,<br />

the necessary impairment losses are recognised. The<br />

amount of the impairment loss is the difference between<br />

the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of<br />

the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the<br />

effective interest rate.<br />

iii.<br />

Hedge of net investments in foreign operations: Hedges of<br />

this nature hedge exposure to changes in the value of net<br />

investments in foreign operations attributable to foreign<br />

exchange fluctuations. Gains or losses are recognised in<br />

other comprehensive income and taken to income<br />

statement when the investment is sold or matures.<br />

Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives<br />

not qualifying for hedge accounting are recognised in the<br />

consolidated income statement.<br />
