p 177 MISC BERHAD - Annual Report 2014 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.) 2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (m) Impairment of financial assets (cont’d.) If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement, the impairment loss is reversed, to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement. (n) Derecognition of financial instruments A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when: - the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired; or - the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass through’ arrangement; and - either (i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the assets, or (ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the assets but has transferred control of the asset. When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a “pass through” agreement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, a new asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset, is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including cash settled options or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase. However, in the case of a written put option (including cash settled options or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.
