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 />

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