financial statements

(expressed in millions of Russian Roubles,
unless otherwise stated)
Summary of significant
accounting policies
2.10 Financial instruments (continued)
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for
which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses
that result from default events that are possible within
the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit
exposures for which there has been a significant increase
in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is
required for credit losses expected over the remaining life
of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default
(a lifetime ECL).
For trade and other receivables the Group applies
a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the
Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead
recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at
each reporting date. The Group has established a provision
matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience,
adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors
and the economic environment.
(b)
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans
and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as
hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value
and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net
of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other
payables, loans and borrowings. For more information refer
to Note 2.11 and Note 2.12.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified,
such an exchange or modification is treated as the
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition
of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
2.11
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at their fair value, net
of transaction costs, and are subsequently stated at
amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds
(net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or
loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective
interest method. 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. Borrowing costs directly attributable to
the acquisition, construction or production of assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready
for intended use or sale (qualifying assets) are capitalised
as part of the costs of those assets.
The commencement date for capitalisation is when (a) the
Group incurs expenditures for the qualifying asset; (b) it
incurs borrowing costs; and (c) it undertakes activities that
are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or
sale.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues up to the date
when the assets are substantially ready for their use or sale.
The Group capitalises borrowing costs that could have
been avoided if it had not made capital expenditure
on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs capitalised
are calculated at the Group’s average funding cost
(the weighted average interest cost is applied to the
expenditures on the qualifying assets), except to the extent
that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of
obtaining a qualifying asset. Where this occurs, actual
borrowing costs incurred less any investment income
on the temporary investment of those borrowings are
capitalised.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest (“EIR”) method. Gains and losses
are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation
process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any
discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is
included as finance costs in the consolidated statement of
profit or loss.
2.12
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are accrued when the
counterparty performs its obligation under the contract
and are carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. Trade payables are recognised initially at
fair value and measured subsequently at amortised cost.
2.13
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits
held at call with banks, and other short-term highly
liquid investments used for meeting short term cash
commitments.
