iii. Investments in associated companies Investments in companies where the Company has 20 to 50 of the voting rights, and through which the Company exerts significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the Company recognizes the Companys proportionate share in the income or loss of the associated company from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Company’s share of loss exceeds the carrying amount of the associated company, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Investment in joint ventures is accounted by using the equity method whereby the participation in a joint venture initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for changes in the shares of the venturer of the joint venture’s net assets that occurred after the acquisition.

Impairment to be recognized is measured based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds the fair value of the investment. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices if any and projected discounted cash flows, whichever is lower or other valuation techniques as appropriate according to PSAK 48 Revised 2009, “Impairment of Assets”. Changes in the value of investments due to changes in the equity of associated companies arising from capital transactions of such associated companies with other parties are recognized directly in equity and are reported as “Difference due to change of equity in associated companies” in the stockholders’ equity section.
