2. Significant accounting policies (cont'd.) 2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd.) (k) Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition and measured either at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's and the Fund’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group and the Fund have applied the practical expedient, the Group and the Fund initially measure a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and therefore are measured at the transaction price determined under MFRS 15. In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI")’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. The Group's and the Fund’s business model for managing financial assets refer to how they manage their financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group and the Fund commit to purchase or sell the asset. The Group and the Fund determined the classification of their financial assets as financial assets (debt instruments) at amortised cost at its initial recognition. Subsequent measurement Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Group’s and the Fund's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables, other receivables (excluding prepaid expenses and unbilled rental income), amount due from related companies, fixed deposits with licensed banks, and cash and bank balances. Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised when: (i) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or (ii) The Group and the Fund have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or have assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘passthrough’ arrangement; and either the Fund has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or the Fund has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
