NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011<br />
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)<br />
3.8 Non-current assets held-for-sale<br />
Annual Report 2011<br />
Non-current assets that are expected <strong>to</strong> be recovered primarily through sale ra<strong>the</strong>r than through continuing use are classified<br />
as held-for-sale. Immediately before classification as held-for-sale, <strong>the</strong> assets are remeasured in accordance with <strong>the</strong> Group’s<br />
accounting policies. Thereafter, <strong>the</strong> assets are measured at <strong>the</strong> lower of <strong>the</strong>ir carrying amount and fair value less cost <strong>to</strong> sell.<br />
Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised<br />
in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.<br />
3.9 Financial instruments<br />
Derivative <strong>financial</strong> instruments<br />
The Group holds derivative <strong>financial</strong> instruments <strong>to</strong> hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.<br />
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at <strong>the</strong> date <strong>the</strong> derivative contracts are entered in<strong>to</strong> and are subsequently<br />
remeasured <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir fair values at <strong>the</strong> end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss<br />
immediately unless <strong>the</strong> derivative is designated and is effective as a hedging instrument, in which event <strong>the</strong> timing of <strong>the</strong><br />
recognition in profit or loss depends on <strong>the</strong> nature of <strong>the</strong> hedge relationship.<br />
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a <strong>financial</strong> asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised<br />
as a <strong>financial</strong> liability. A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or non-current liability if <strong>the</strong> remaining maturity of <strong>the</strong><br />
instrument is more than 12 months and it is not expected <strong>to</strong> be realised or settled within 12 months. O<strong>the</strong>r derivatives are<br />
presented as current assets or liabilities.<br />
Derivative <strong>financial</strong> instruments relate <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> commodity trading activities and consist of instruments such as commodity<br />
futures, commodity options, commodity fixed price forward contracts and o<strong>the</strong>r forward contracts with determinable pricing.<br />
All purchases and sales of derivative <strong>financial</strong> instruments are recognised on <strong>the</strong> trade date, which is <strong>the</strong> date that <strong>the</strong> Group<br />
commits <strong>to</strong> sell or purchase <strong>the</strong> asset. All realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in <strong>the</strong> fair value of<br />
derivative <strong>financial</strong> instruments are included in profit or loss in <strong>the</strong> period in which <strong>the</strong>y arise.<br />
The fair value of publicly traded derivatives is based on quoted market prices at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date. The fair value of<br />
commodity fixed price forward contracts is calculated as <strong>the</strong> present value of <strong>the</strong> estimated future cash flows. The fair value<br />
of foreign exchange forward contracts is determined using forward foreign exchange market rates at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date.<br />
Hedge accounting<br />
At <strong>the</strong> inception of a hedge relationship, <strong>the</strong> Group formally designates and documents <strong>the</strong> hedge relationship <strong>to</strong> which <strong>the</strong><br />
Group wishes <strong>to</strong> apply hedge accounting, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking <strong>the</strong> hedge<br />
transactions. The documentation includes identification of <strong>the</strong> hedging instrument, <strong>the</strong> hedge item or transaction, <strong>the</strong> nature<br />
of risk being hedged and how <strong>the</strong> entity assess <strong>the</strong> hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting <strong>the</strong> exposure <strong>to</strong> changes<br />
in <strong>the</strong> hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> hedged risk. Such hedges are expected <strong>to</strong> be highly effective<br />
in achieving offsetting changes in fair value of or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis <strong>to</strong> determine that <strong>the</strong>y<br />
actually have been highly effective throughout <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> reporting periods for which <strong>the</strong>y are designated.<br />
Cash flow hedge<br />
When a derivative is designated as <strong>the</strong> hedging instrument in a hedge of <strong>the</strong> variability in cash flows attributable <strong>to</strong> a particular<br />
risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, <strong>the</strong><br />
effective portion of changes in <strong>the</strong> fair value of <strong>the</strong> derivative is recognised in o<strong>the</strong>r comprehensive income and presented in<br />
<strong>the</strong> hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in <strong>the</strong> fair value of <strong>the</strong> derivative is recognised immediately in<br />
profit or loss.<br />
