Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2009 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 2.20 Dividends to Company’s shareholders Dividends to Company’s shareholders are recognised when the dividends are approved for payment. 2.21 Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Any impairment loss on initial classification and subsequent measurement is recognised in profit or loss. Any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell (not exceeding the accumulated impairment loss that has been previously recognised) is recognised in profit or loss. 2.22 Financial guarantees The Company has issued corporate guarantees to banks for borrowings of its subsidiaries and an associated company. These guarantees are financial guarantees as they require the Company to reimburse the banks if the borrowing entities fail to make principal or interest payments when due in accordance with the terms of their borrowings. Financial guarantees are initially recognised at their fair values (if material) plus transaction costs in the Company’s balance sheet. Financial guarantees are subsequently amortised to profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, unless it is probable that the Company will reimburse the bank for an amount higher than the unamortised amount. In this case, the financial guarantees shall be carried at the expected amount payable to the bank in the Company’s balance sheet. Intragroup transactions are eliminated on consolidation. 2.23 Government grants Grants from the government are recognised as a receivable at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions. Government grants receivable are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants relating to expenses are shown separately as other income. Swissco International Limited Annual Report 2009 52
