2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />

Investments and other financial assets<br />

Initial recognition and measurement<br />

Financial assets within the scope of HKAS 39 are classified as loans and receivables, or as derivatives<br />

designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines<br />

the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. When financial assets are recognised<br />

initially, they are measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except in the case of financial assets<br />

recorded at fair value through profit or loss.<br />

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is,<br />

the date that the Group <strong>com</strong>mits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are<br />

purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally<br />

established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.<br />

Subsequent measurement<br />

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:<br />

Loans and receivables<br />

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments<br />

that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently<br />

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for<br />

impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on<br />

acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The<br />

effective interest rate amortisation is included in other in<strong>com</strong>e and gains in profit or loss. The<br />

loss arising from impairment is recognised in profit or loss in finance costs for loans and in other<br />

expenses for receivables.<br />
