Financial liabilities (continued)

Initial recognition and measurement (continued)

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and those designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

• Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred to repurchase in the near term.

• Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.

Loans and borrowings

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised and through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings. For more information, refer to Note 13.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other payables 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 date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. 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 the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Derivative and hedge activities

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into, and they are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either:

• hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges),

• hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges), or

• hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedges).

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The Group documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions. The fair values of derivative financial instruments designated in hedge relationships are disclosed in Note 11. Movements in the hedging reserve in shareholders’ equity are shown in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

2.10 Financial instruments (continued)

Derivative and hedge activities (continued)

Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within consolidated statement of changes in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in consolidated statement of comprehensive income, within other gains/(losses).

Where option contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Group designates only the intrinsic value of the options as the hedging instrument.

Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in intrinsic value of the options are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within consolidated statement of changes in equity. The changes in the time value of the options that relate to the hedged item (aligned time value) are recognised within consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the costs of hedging reserve within equity.

Amounts accumulated in consolidated statement of changes in equity are reclassified in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, as follows:

• Where the hedged item subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (such as inventory), both the deferred hedging gains and losses and the deferred time value of the option contracts or deferred forward points, if any, are included within the initial cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in profit or loss as the hedged item affects profit or loss (e.g. through cost of sales).

• The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in profit or loss within finance cost at the same time as the interest expense on the hedged borrowings.

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in consolidated statement of changes in equity at that time remains in consolidated statement of changes in equity until the forecast transaction occurs, resulting in the recognition of a non-financial asset such as inventory. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in consolidated statement of comprehensive income and are included in other gains/(losses).

2.11 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, with maturity dates of less than 90 days.

2.12 Deposits

Deposits include cash held with deposits takers with maturity dates of more than 90 days.

2.13 Equity

• Share Capital Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets.

• Capital Contribution

Capital contribution is a distributable reserve and represents assets, such as land, transferred to the Group by its ultimate shareholder at market value.

• Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings represent distributable reserves.

2.14 Borrowings costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily take a substantial period to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred (on an accruals basis). Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.15 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when:

• the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;

• it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and

• the amount can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance costs.
