NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER, 2016 interest rate, except for short-term receivables, where the effect of discounting is immaterial. 2.11.4 Derecognition of financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss. 2.11.5 Financial liabilities and equity instruments Classification as debt or equity Debt and equity instruments issued by a member of the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. 2.11.6 Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. 2.11.7 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either FVTPL or ‘other financial liabilities’ (which include loans from banks and related parties and trade and other payables). The Group subsequently measures financial liabilities, except for derivative financial instruments, at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.11.8 Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts, are initially measured at fair value, at the date 158 Annual Report 2016 the derivative contracts are entered into. Derivative financial instruments are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedging instruments, for which hedge accounting is applied. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised at each reporting date either in profit or loss or, in the case of a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge, in other comprehensive income, net of tax. For hedging instruments, the timing of recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL. 2.11.9 De-recognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss. 2.11.10 Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 2.11.11 Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of an interest bearing financial instrument and of allocating interest income and expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
