2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
c. Principles of consolidation continued
iv. Associates and joint ventures continued
- Acquisitions
Investment in an associate or joint venture are initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or
assumed as at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Goodwill on an associate or joint venture represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of the associate or joint venture over
the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the associate or joint venture and is included in the carrying amount of the investment.
- Equity method of accounting
In applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of its associate’s or joint venture’s post- acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition other
comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. These post-acquisition movements and distributions received from an associate or a joint venture are adjusted against the carrying amounts of the
investment. When the Group’s share of the losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, including any other unsecured non-current receivables, the Group
does not recognise further losses, unless it has obligations to make or has made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate or joint venture. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless
the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of the associate or joint venture have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting
policies adopted by the Group.
Dividend receivable from an associate or joint venture is recognised as reductions in the carrying amount of the investment.
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment
as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and joint venture and its carrying value and recognises the amount in profit or loss.
- Disposals
Investment in an associate or a joint venture is derecognised when the Group losses significant influence and any retained equity interest in the entity is remeasured at its fair value. The difference between the carrying
amount of the retained interest at the date when significant influence is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
Gains and losses arising from partial disposals or dilutions of investment in an associate and joint venture in which significant influence is retained are recognised in profit or loss, and only a proportionate share of the
amount previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
