Consolidated financial statements - NOTES<br />

| 109 ><br />

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading.<br />

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of<br />

selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless<br />

they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current or noncurrent<br />

assets based on their maturity.<br />

Transaction costs are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of<br />

income.<br />

After initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are<br />

measured at their fair value each reporting period. Gains and losses deriving from<br />

changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income in the<br />

period in which they occur. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through<br />

profit or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as part of other<br />

income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.<br />

(b) Loans and receivables<br />

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable<br />

payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets,<br />

except for those with maturities greater than 12 months or which are not expected to<br />

be repaid within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified<br />

as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables are comprised of trade and<br />

other receivables. Loans and receivables are initially measured at their fair value plus<br />

transaction costs. After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at<br />

amortized cost, using the effective interest method.<br />

(c) Financial assets available for sale<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either<br />

designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are<br />

included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends<br />

to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Financial assets<br />

available for sale are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs. After<br />

initial recognition, financial assets available for sale are carried at fair value. Any<br />

changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.<br />

Dividend income from financial assets held for sale is recognized in the consolidated<br />

statement of income as part of other income when the Group’s right to receive<br />

payments is established.<br />

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized using the settlement date.<br />

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments<br />

have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks<br />

and rewards of ownership.<br />
