2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d<br />

2.35 Equity instrument<br />

(a) Share capital and share issuance expenses<br />

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the<br />

Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.<br />

Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction<br />

costs. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the<br />

period in which they are declared.<br />

(b) Preference shares<br />

2.36 Contingencies<br />

Preference shares are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Preference<br />

shares are classified as equity if they are non-redeemable and dividends are discretionary at the option of<br />

the issuer. Preference shares are classified as liability if they are redeemable on a specific date or at the<br />

option of the shareholders and dividends thereon are recognised in the income statements as interest<br />

expense. Preference shares that are compound instruments are split in<strong>to</strong> liability and equity components.<br />

Each component is accounted for separately.<br />

A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose existence<br />

will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not wholly within the<br />

control of the Group.<br />

Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statements of financial position of the Group.<br />

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS<br />

The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires management <strong>to</strong> make judgements, estimates and<br />

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of<br />

contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result<br />

in outcomes that could require a material adjustment <strong>to</strong> the carrying amount of the asset or liability in the future.<br />

3.1 Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies<br />

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements,<br />

apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the<br />

financial statements:<br />

(a) Classification between investment properties and property, plant and equipment<br />

The Group has developed certain criteria based on FRS 140 in making judgement whether a property<br />

qualifies as an investment property. Investment property is a property held <strong>to</strong> earn rentals or for capital<br />

appreciation or both.
