Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Financial instruments (continued) (ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (continued) Financial liabilities (a) Amortised cost Financial liabilities not categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective profit method. Finance costs and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Any gains or losses on derecognition are also recognised in the profit or loss. (iii) Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date or settlement date accounting in the current year. Trade date accounting refers to: (a) the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date; and (b) derecognition of an asset that is sold, recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the recognition of a receivable from the buyer for payment on the trade date. Settlement date accounting refers to: (a) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the Group or the Company; and (b) derecognition of an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the day that is delivered by the Group or the Company. Any change in the fair value of the asset to be received during the period between the trade date and the settlement date is accounted in the same way as it accounts for the acquired asset. Generally, the Group or the Company applies settlement date accounting unless otherwise stated for the specific class of asset. (iv) Derecognition A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or transferred, or control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the sum of consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised in profit or loss. A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. A financial liability is also derecognised when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case, a new financial liability based on modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
