NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PARENT COMPANY<br />

1 January - 31 December<br />

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)<br />

Financial liabilities are initially measured at the value of the proceeds received less related transaction costs. Subsequently,<br />

financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, equal to the capitalised value when applying a constant effective rate of<br />

interest, and the difference between the proceeds initially received and the nominal value is recognised in the income<br />

statement over the loan period.<br />

Derivatives are measured at fair value calculated according to generally accepted valuation methods and recognised in Other<br />

receivables or Other liabilities.<br />

For derivatives hedging the fair value of recognised assets and liabilities the value of the hedged asset or hedged liability is<br />

also stated at fair value in respect of the risk being hedged. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or<br />

exercised but the hedged asset or hedged liability with a determinable maturity still exist, the adjustment recorded as part of<br />

the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortised to the income statement from that date onwards using the effective<br />

interest method.<br />

The effective part of the changes in the fair value of derivatives hedging future transactions is recognised directly in equity, net<br />

of tax. On realisation of the hedged item, value changes recognised under equity are reversed and recognised together with<br />

the hedged item. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold terminated or exercised but the hedged future transactions are<br />

still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity and is recognised in accordance with the<br />

above policy when the transaction occurs.<br />

Derivatives that qualify as net investment hedges of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are recognised directly in<br />

equity, net of tax.<br />

For derivatives, which do not comply with the hedge accounting conditions, changes in fair value are recognised as Net finance<br />

costs in the income statement as they occur.<br />
