FELDA GLOBAL VENTURES HOLDINGS BERHAD 194 FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. (continued) (t) Revenue recognition (continued) (iv) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence. (v) Finance income Finance income is recognised using the effective finance method. When a loan or a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective finance rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as finance income. Finance income on impaired loan and receivables are recognised using the original effective finance rate. (vi) Rental income Rental income related to rental of properties and plants are recognised over the period of tenancy or usage, as appropriate. (vii) Compensation receivable Compensation receivable is estimated based on areas reclaimed by FELDA, recognised when vacant possession of the land is transferred. (u) Dividend distribution Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when proposed or declared before the statement of financial position date. A dividend proposed or declared after the statement of financial position date, but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, is not recognised as a liability at the statement of financial position date. (v) Deposits, cash and bank balances Deposits, cash and bank balances includes cash in hand, deposit held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. (w) Leases (i) Classification A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classified as operating leases.
