    Financial instruments
     
    The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
     
    The Group classifies non- financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities categories.
     
    (1)
    Non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities - recognition and de-recognition
     
    The Group initially recognizes loans and receivables and debt securities issued on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date.
     
    The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred and does not retains control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognized financial asset that is created or retained by the Group is recognized as a separate asset or liability.
     
    The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, or cancelled or expire.
     
    Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

    Non-derivative financial assets – measurement

    Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
     
    A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
         
    Held-to-maturity financial assets
     
    These assets are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
         
    Loans and receivables
     
    These assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
         
    Available-for-sale financial assets
     
    These assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on debt instruments, are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) and accumulated in the fair value reserve. When these assets are derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
     
    (3)
    Non-derivative financial liabilities - Measurement
     
    Non-derivative financial liabilities include loans and credit from banks and others, debentures, trade and other payables and finance lease liabilities.
     
    Non-derivative financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
     
    (4)
    Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
     
    The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
     
    Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

     
    (5)
    Cash flow hedges
     
    When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in OCI and accumulated in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
     
    The amount accumulated in equity is retained in OCI and reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss.
     
    If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
     
    (6)
    Financial guarantees
     
    A financial guarantee is initially recognized at fair value. In subsequent periods, a financial guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount recognized in accordance with the guidelines of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and the liability initially recognized under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and subsequently amortized in accordance with the guidelines of IAS 18 Revenue. Any resulting adjustment of the liability is recognized in profit or loss.
