131 Yinson Group Overview Strategy and Sustainability Governance Accountability Annual General Meeting 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.16 Intangible assets (continued) Contract rights Costs incurred to acquire the contractual rights and obligations for a customer contract. It is recognised at its fair value at the date of acquisition and is subsequently amortised over the contract period of 18 years upon commencement of charter. 2.17 Financial instruments Accounting policies applied from 1 February 2018 (i) Financial assets (a) Classification, initial recognition and measurement From 1 February 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: - Financial assets measured at amortised cost; - Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); and - Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. At initial recognition, the Group measures financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest (“SPPI”). (b) Subsequent measurement Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. (i) Financial assets at amortised cost Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent SPPI are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Any gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the debt instruments are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent SPPI, are measured at FVOCI. After initial measurement, FVOCI financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses recognised in OCI and credited in the FVOCI reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in other operating income, or the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative loss is reclassified from the FVOCI reserve to the profit or loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVOCI financial assets is reported as interest income using the EIRmethod.
