(vi) 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 the control of the financial 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 and the sum of the consideration received (including any
new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised
in equity 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 or cancelled or expired. 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.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs
directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling
and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-constructed assets
also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in
accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that
equipment.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net within
“other income” or “other expenses” respectively in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying
amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow
to the Group or the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced
component is derecognised to profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and
equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
