<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong><strong>Geely</strong> <strong>Automobile</strong> <strong>Holdings</strong> <strong>Limited</strong>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the year ended 31 December <strong>2011</strong>5. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)(g)Financial instruments (Continued)Financial assets at fair value through profit or lossFinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss are divided into two subcategories, including financialassets held for trading and those designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on initialrecognition.A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; or• it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together andhas a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or• it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as a financial asset at fairvalue through profit or loss upon initial recognition if:• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistencythat would otherwise arise; or• the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which ismanaged and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’sdocumented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is providedinternally on that basis; or• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permitsthe entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as a financial asset at fair valuethrough profit or loss.At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit orloss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in the consolidated incomestatement in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in the consolidated incomestatement includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets.Financial liabilities and equity instrumentsFinancial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of thecontractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.Other financial liabilitiesOther financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are initially recognised at theirfair values, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.72
