2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)
(t) Financial liabilities (cont’d.)
(ii) Other financial liabilities
The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables, due to
subsidiaries and loans and borrowings.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities,
unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the
reporting date.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial
liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing
liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in
profit or loss.
(u) Provision for liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligations and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer
probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If
the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(v) Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
-
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.
