ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

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 />

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

The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (such as commodities forward contracts)<br />

are determined by making references to the prices provided by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, other similar products and<br />

other commodity exchanges, and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each statement of<br />

financial position date. Where appropriate, quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used.<br />

The fair values of currency forward contracts are determined using actively quoted forward exchange rates.<br />

The fair values of current financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate their carrying amounts.<br />

2.15 Leases<br />

(a)<br />

When the <strong>Group</strong> is the lessee:<br />

(i)<br />

Lessee - Finance leases<br />

Leases where the <strong>Group</strong> assumes substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased<br />

assets are classified as finance leases.<br />

The leased assets and the corresponding lease liabilities (net of finance charges) under finance leases<br />

are recognised on the statement of financial position as property, plant and equipment and borrowings<br />

respectively, at the inception of the leases based on the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the<br />

present value of the minimum lease payments.<br />

Each lease payment is apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding lease<br />

liability. The finance expense is recognised in profit or loss on a basis that reflects a constant periodic rate of<br />

interest on the finance lease liability.<br />

(ii)<br />

Lessee - Operating leases<br />

Leases where substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessors are<br />

classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the<br />

lessors) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.<br />

Initial direct costs incurred by the <strong>Group</strong> in negotiating and arranging operating leases are capitalised as<br />

prepayments and recognised in profit or loss over the lease term on a straight line basis.<br />

Contingent rents are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when incurred.<br />
