2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.12 Financial assets (continued)
(a) Classification (continued)
(1) Loans and receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified
as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are
derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12
months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.
(2) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity
investments.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses
from changes in fair value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that
impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and interest calculated
using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest
method is recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised
in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive payment is established.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less
impairment loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected to be
realised within 12 months after the reporting date.
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of
the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive
income is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within
the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way
purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date that is, the date that
the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.
