c. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries, wherein the Company has direct or indirect ownership interest of more than 50 of the voting rights of the subsidiary‟s capital stock and is able to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities. A subsidiary is excluded from consolidation when the control in such subsidiary is intended to be temporary because the subsidiary is acquired and held exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal in the near future; or when the subsidiary operates under long-term restrictions which significantly impair its ability to transfer funds to the Company. When an entity either began or ceased to be controlled during the year, the results operation of that entity are included in the consolidated financial statements only from the date that the control commenced up to the date that the controlled ceased. Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized gains or losses on inter company transactions, are eliminated to reflect the financial position and the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as one business entity. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policy for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. If a subsidiary‟s financial statements uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements, appropriate adjustments are made to the subsidiary‟s financial statements. Minority interest represents the minority stockholder‟s proportionate share in the net income and equity of the subsidiaries which are not wholly owned, which is presented based on the percentage of ownership of the minority stockholders in the subsidiaries. The losses applicable to the minority stockholders in a consolidated subsidiary may exceed the minority stockholders‟ interest in the net assets of the subsidiaries. The excess and any further losses applicable to the minority are charged against the majority interest, except to the extend that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, absorb such losses and the minority stockholders can settle their obligation. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, such profits shall be allocated to the majority stockholders‟ up to the amount of the minority stockholders‟ share in losses previously absorbed by the majority which have been recovered. When the cost of the acquisition is less than the interest of the Company in the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaries, the excess is recognized as negative goodwill and is amortized using the straight – line method over 20 years.
