(h) FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Group classifies its financial assets in the loans and receivables category. The classification depends on the
purposes for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets
at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end
of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date — the date on which the
Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset
or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment
losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred
after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated
future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant
financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter
bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable
decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with
defaults.
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not
been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is
reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit
rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
