<strong>Notes</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong><br />

2. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (contd.)<br />
2.18 <strong>Financial</strong> assets<br />
<strong>Financial</strong> assets are recognised in <strong>the</strong> statements of fi nancial position when, and only when, <strong>the</strong> Group and<br />
<strong>the</strong> Company become a party <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> contractual provisions of <strong>the</strong> fi nancial instrument.<br />
When fi nancial assets are recognised initially, <strong>the</strong>y are measured at fair value, plus, in <strong>the</strong> case of fi nancial<br />
assets not at fair value through profi t or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.<br />
The Group and <strong>the</strong> Company determine <strong>the</strong> classifi cation of <strong>the</strong>ir fi nancial assets at initial recognition,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> categories include fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, loans and receivables and<br />
available-for-sale fi nancial assets.<br />
(a) <strong>Financial</strong> assets at fair value through profi t or loss<br />
<strong>Financial</strong> assets are classifi ed as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss if <strong>the</strong>y are held<br />
for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. <strong>Financial</strong> assets held for trading are<br />
derivatives (including separated embedded derivatives) or fi nancial assets acquired principally for<br />
<strong>the</strong> purpose of selling in <strong>the</strong> near term.<br />
Subsequent <strong>to</strong> initial recognition, fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are measured at<br />
fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profi t or loss. Net<br />
gains or net losses on fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss do not include exchange<br />
differences, interest and dividend income. Exchange differences, interest and dividend income on<br />
fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are recognised separately in profi t or loss as part<br />
of o<strong>the</strong>r losses or o<strong>the</strong>r income.<br />
<strong>Financial</strong> assets at fair value through profi t or loss could be presented as current or non-current.<br />
<strong>Financial</strong> assets that are held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas<br />
fi nancial assets that are not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or noncurrent<br />
based on <strong>the</strong> settlement date.<br />
(b) Loans and receivables<br />
<strong>Financial</strong> assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are<br />
classifi ed as loans and receivables.<br />
Subsequent <strong>to</strong> initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using <strong>the</strong><br />
effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when <strong>the</strong> loans and<br />
receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through <strong>the</strong> amortisation process.<br />
Loans and receivables are classifi ed as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later<br />
than 12 months after <strong>the</strong> reporting date which are classifi ed as non-current.<br />
(c) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets<br />
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are fi nancial assets that are designated as available for sale or are<br />
not classifi ed in any of <strong>the</strong> two preceding categories.<br />
After initial recognition, available-for-sale fi nancial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains or<br />
losses from changes in fair value of <strong>the</strong> fi nancial asset are recognised in o<strong>the</strong>r comprehensive income,<br />
except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and<br />
interest calculated using <strong>the</strong> effective interest method are recognised in profi t or loss. The cumulative<br />
gain or loss previously recognised in o<strong>the</strong>r comprehensive income is reclassifi ed from equity <strong>to</strong><br />
profi t or loss as a reclassifi cation adjustment when <strong>the</strong> fi nancial asset is derecognised. Interest<br />
income calculated using <strong>the</strong> effective interest method is recognised in profi t or loss. Dividends<br />
on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in profi t or loss when <strong>the</strong> Group and <strong>the</strong><br />
Company’s right <strong>to</strong> receive payment is established.<br />
