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

2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)<br />

(b)<br />

Property, plant and equipment (continued)<br />

2.8 Borrowing costs<br />

Investments in subsidiaries and associates (continued)<br />

A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried<br />

at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. However, to the extent that an<br />

impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised as an expense, a reversal of that impairment<br />

is also credited to profit or loss.<br />

Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method except for those costs that are<br />

directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying assets. Capitalising of borrowing costs<br />

commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditure<br />

and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended<br />

use or sale.<br />

Borrowing costs on general borrowings are capitalised by applying a capitalisation rate to the acquisition, construction<br />

or production of qualifying assets that are financed by general borrowings.<br />

2.9 <strong>Financial</strong> assets<br />

(a)<br />

Classification<br />

The <strong>Group</strong> classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and<br />

receivables, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the nature of the asset and the<br />

purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at<br />

initial recognition.<br />

(i)<br />

<strong>Financial</strong> assets at fair value through profit or loss<br />

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value<br />

through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally<br />

for the purpose of selling in the short term. <strong>Financial</strong> assets designated as at fair value through profit or<br />

loss at inception are those that are managed and their performances are evaluated on a fair value basis,<br />

in accordance with a documented <strong>Group</strong> investment strategy. Derivatives are also categorised as held for<br />

trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are presented as current assets if they<br />

are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months after the statement of financial<br />

position date.<br />
