NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)<br />

(n)<br />

Trade and other receivables<br />

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at<br />

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful<br />

debts (see note 1(l)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related<br />

parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial.<br />

In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful<br />

debts.<br />

(o)<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly<br />

attributable transaction costs.<br />

Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting<br />

period and changes therein, other than impairment losses (see note 1(l)) are recognised in<br />

other <strong>com</strong>prehensive in<strong>com</strong>e and presented within equity in the fair value reserve. When an<br />

investment is derecognised or impaired (see note 1(l)), the cumulative gain or loss in other<br />

<strong>com</strong>prehensive in<strong>com</strong>e is transferred to profit or loss.<br />

(p)<br />

Interest-bearing borrowings<br />

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction<br />

costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised<br />

cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being<br />

recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and<br />

fees payable, using the effective interest method.<br />

(q)<br />

Trade and other payables<br />

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are<br />

subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial,<br />

in which case they are stated at cost.<br />

(r)<br />

Cash and cash equivalents<br />

Cash and cash equivalents <strong>com</strong>prise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks<br />

and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily<br />

convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of<br />

changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts<br />

that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the <strong>Group</strong>’s cash management<br />

are also included as a <strong>com</strong>ponent of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the<br />

consolidated cash flow statement.<br />
