All grants are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable.<br />

Government Grants<br />

Grants without future performance conditions are recognized in profit or loss when proceeds are receivable. However, if there are performance conditions, the grant<br />

is recognized in profit or loss only when the conditions are met.<br />

Borrowing Costs<br />

All borrowing costs are charged to expense when incurred and none are capitalized.<br />

All share-based payment must be recognized under the following principles:<br />

Share-Based Payment<br />

Equity-settled<br />

1. Transactions with other than employees are recorded at the fair value of the goods and services received, if these can be estimated reliably<br />

2. Transactions with employees or where the fair value of goods and services received cannot be reliably measured are measured with reference to the fair value<br />

of the equity instruments granted<br />

Cash-settled<br />

1. Liability is measured at fair value on the grant date and at each reporting date and settlement date, with each adjustment through profit or loss<br />

2. For employees where shares only vest after a specific period of service has been completed, recognize the expense as the service is rendered<br />

Share-based payment with cash alternatives<br />

1. Account for all such transactions as cash settled, unless the entity has a past practice of settling by issuing equity instruments, or the option has no commercial<br />

substance because the cash settlement amount bears no relationship to, and is likely to be lower in value than, the fair value of the equity instrument.<br />

Impairment of Assets<br />

This section follows the basic principles of impairment set out in IFRS, together with simplified guidance on computing impairment of goodwill when goodwill<br />

cannot be allocated to cash-generating units<br />

Employee Benefits<br />

The measurement of short-term benefits is as follows:<br />

1. Measured at an undiscounted rate and recognized as the services are rendered.<br />

2. Other costs such as annual leave are recognized as a liability as services are rendered and expensed when the leave is taken or used.<br />

3. Bonus payments are only recognized when an obligation exists and the amount can be reliably estimated.<br />

The measurement of post employment benefits is as follows:<br />

Defined contribution plans<br />

1. Contributions are recognized as a liability or an expense when the contributions are made or due.<br />

Defined benefit plans<br />

1. Recognize a liability based on the net of present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of any plan assets at the reporting date.<br />

2. The projected unit credit method is only used when it could be applied without undue cost or effort. An entity can simplify its calculation.<br />

For group plans, the consolidated amount may be allocated to parent and subsidiaries on a reasonable basis.<br />

The actuarial gains and losses may be recognized in profit or loss or as an item of other comprehensive income. However, there is no deferral of actuarial gains or<br />

losses, including no corridor approach.<br />

All past service cost is recognized immediately in profit or loss and termination benefits are recognized in profit and loss immediately as there are no future<br />

economic benefits to the entity.<br />

Income Tax<br />

This section requires a temporary difference approach on a similar basis to IAS 12. A temporary difference arises if the tax basis of such assets or liabilities is<br />

different from the carrying amount. The tax basis assumes recovery by sale with one exception, which is, no deferred tax is recognized on unremitted earnings of<br />

foreign subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities. Entities should recognize deferred tax assets in full using the criterion that realization is probable.<br />

The recognition of changes in current or deferred tax must be allocated to the related components of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and equity.<br />

Foreign Currency Translation<br />

This section uses the functional currency approach, which is similar to that in IAS 21. Exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of the net<br />

investment in a foreign operation are recognized in equity and are not “recycled” through profit or loss on disposal of the investment.<br />

All exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
