208/264 Notes to the 2017 consolidated financial statements Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset, using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. For impairment losses recognized, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. (ii) Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement The Group’s financial liabilities are comprised of trade and other payables, other liabilities (borrowings and finance lease payments), Convertible Notes, and derivative liabilities (contingent options and warrants). All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of Convertible Notes and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group accounts for the Convertible Notes in accordance with IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement , ‘fair value option’. Under this approach, the Convertible Notes are accounted for in their entirety at fair value, with any change in fair value after initial measurement being recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and the transaction costs were effectively immediately expensed. The Group accounts for the warrants as a financial liability at fair value. In accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation , the Group determined that the warrants were precluded from equity classification, because while they contain no contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial instruments to the holders other than the Company’s own shares, the exercise prices of the warrants are in US$ and not the Company’s functional currency. Therefore, the warrants do not meet the requirements that they be settled by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. Subsequent measurements Other financial liabilities After initial recognition, payables and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method amortization is included in finance costs in the consolidated statement of operations. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the liabilities are derecognized. Payables and borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Fees paid to secure loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. The fee is deferred until the drawdown occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as pre­payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss F­15
