Atul Ltd | Annual Report 2017-18 income or other expenses. Assets | liabilities in this category are presented as current assets | current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months after the Balance Sheet date. ii) Cash flow hedge T he Company designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on firm commitment and highly probable forecast transactions. It designates certain Interest rate swaps as cash flow hedge to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on variable interest loans. W hen a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in the net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain | (loss) on the hedging instrument recognised in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain | (loss) previously recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. I f the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss. r) Borrowings: Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. Borrowings are removed from the Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been 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 as other income | (expense). Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. s) Borrowing costs: Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. t) Biological assets: The oil palm trees are bearer plants and are therefore presented and accounted for as property, plant and equipment. However, the oil palm Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) growing on the trees are accounted for as biological assets until the point of harvest. Harvested oil palm FFBs are transferred to inventory at fair value less costs to sell when harvested. Biological assets are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell include the incremental selling costs, including auction charges, commission paid to brokers and dealers and estimated costs of transport to the market, but excludes finance costs and income taxes. Changes in fair value of oil palm FFB on trees are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Measurement technique: The fair value of growing oil palm FFB is determined using a discounted cash flow model based on the expected yield by plantation size, the market price for the produce | sampling and after allowing for harvesting costs, contributory asset charges for the land and bearer plants owned by the Company and other costs yet to be incurred in getting the fruit bunches to maturity or sampling ready for sale.
