NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

31 March <strong>2011</strong><br />

In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed<br />

through profit or loss. Any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive<br />

income.<br />

Derecognition of financial assets<br />

STB derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the<br />

financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If STB neither transfers<br />

nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, STB recognises<br />

its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If STB retains substantially all<br />

the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, STB continues to recognise the financial asset and also<br />

recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.<br />

Financial liabilities and equity instruments<br />

Classification as debt or equity<br />

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by STB are classified according to the substance of the contractual<br />

arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.<br />

Equity instruments<br />

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of STB after deducting all of its<br />

liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.<br />

Financial liabilities<br />

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at<br />

amortised cost, using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.<br />

Derecognition of financial liabilities<br />

STB derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.<br />

(c)<br />

LEASES<br />

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of<br />

ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.<br />
