2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued n.  Deferred charges - land rights
Costs  incurred  to  process  the  initial  legal  land  rights  are  recognized  as  part  of  the  property  and equipment and are not amortized. Costs incurred to process the extension or renewal of legal land
rights  are  deferred  and  amortized  over  the  shorter  of  the  legal  term  of  the  land  rights  or  the economic life of the land.
o.  Trade payables Trade  payables  are  obligations  to  pay  for  goods  or  services  that  have  been  acquired  from
suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities  if payment  is  due  within  one  year  or  less  or  in  the  normal  operating  cycle  of  the  business,  if  this
period is longer. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
p.  Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently  carried  at  amortized  cost;  any  difference  between  the  proceeds  net  of  transaction
costs and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated  statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on obtaining loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that  it  is  probable  that  some  or  all  of  the  facilities  will  be  drawn  down.  In  this  case,  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 facilities will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity
services and amortized over the period of the facilities to which it relates.
