Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />

(b)<br />

Basis of preparation of the financial statements (Continued)<br />

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost<br />

basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value as explained in the<br />

accounting policies set out below:<br />

– Financial instruments classified as available-for-sale or as trading securities (see Note 2(f));<br />

– Derivative financial instruments (see Note 2(g)).<br />

Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount and<br />

fair value less costs to see (see Note 2(x)).<br />

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make<br />

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts<br />

of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based<br />

on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the<br />

circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of<br />

assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from<br />

these estimates.<br />

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting<br />

estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that<br />

period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future<br />

periods.<br />

Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on the<br />

financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 3.<br />

Changes in accounting policies<br />

The IASB has issued a number of new IFRSs and amendments to IFRSs that are first effective for the<br />

current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Of these, the following developments are<br />

relevant to the Group’s financial statements:<br />

• Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle<br />

• Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle<br />

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current<br />

accounting period. Impacts of the adoption of the amended IFRSs are discussed below:<br />
