Financial instruments (Continued)<br />
Financial assets (Continued)<br />
a) Classification and measurement (Continued)<br />
i) Due from banks and loans and advances to customers<br />
Due from banks and loans, advances and receivables include non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable<br />
payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and advances are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers.<br />
After initial recognition, amounts ‘Due from banks’ and ‘Loans to customers’ are subsequently measured at amortised cost<br />
using the effective interest rates, less allowance for impairment<br />
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an<br />
integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortisation is included in ‘Interest and similar income’ in profit or loss. The<br />
losses arising from impairment are recognised in profit or loss.<br />
iii) Held-to-maturity financial assets<br />
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities<br />
that the group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.<br />
Held to maturity financial assets are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs<br />
and measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment, with revenue<br />
recognised on an effective yield basis. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on<br />
acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and recognised in the profit or loss.<br />
Where a sale occurs other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category would be tainted<br />
and classified as available for sale. Furthermore, the group would be prohibited from classifying any financial asset as held<br />
to maturity during the following two years.<br />
iv) Available-for-sale financial assets<br />
Available for sale investments are those that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold<br />
in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates or equity prices or that are not classified as loans and receivables,<br />
held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.<br />
Available-for-sale investments are initially recognised at fair value, which is the cash consideration including any transaction<br />
costs, and measured subsequently at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in<br />
other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment<br />
losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets<br />
which are recognised in profit or loss.<br />
Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated<br />
in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.<br />
Dividends on available for sale equity instruments are recognised in profit and loss when the group’s right to receive the<br />
dividends is established.<br />
