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

For the financial year ended 31 December 2011<br />

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)<br />

2.11 Borrowings<br />

Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the <strong>Group</strong> has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least<br />

12 months after the statement of financial position date, in which case they are presented as non-current liabilities.<br />

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any<br />

difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over<br />

the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.<br />

2.12 Trade and other payables<br />

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial<br />

year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal<br />

operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.<br />

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the<br />

effective interest method.<br />

2.13 Derivative financial instruments<br />

Derivative financial instruments comprise mainly of crude palm oil and palm oil products forward contracts, futures<br />

contracts and currency forward contracts.<br />

A derivative financial instrument is initially recognised at its fair value on the date the contract is entered into and is<br />

subsequently carried at its fair value. Fair value changes on derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge<br />

accounting are recognised in profit or loss within “cost of sales” when the changes arise.<br />

Derivative financial instruments are reported in the financial statements on a net basis where legal right of setoff exists.<br />

Derivative financial instruments are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.<br />

2.14 Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities<br />

The fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as exchange-traded and over-the-counter securities<br />

and derivatives) are based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date. The quoted market prices<br />

used for financial assets are the current bid prices; the appropriate quoted market prices for financial liabilities are the<br />

current asking prices.<br />
