Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)<br />

31 December <strong>2011</strong><br />

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)<br />

2.21 Taxes (cont’d)<br />

(c) Sales tax<br />

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:<br />

– Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from<br />

the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of<br />

acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and<br />

– Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.<br />

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included<br />

as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.<br />

2.22 Segment reporting<br />

For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their products<br />

and services which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible<br />

for the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report<br />

directly to the management of the Company who regularly review the segment results in order to<br />

allocate resources to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures<br />

on each of these segments are shown in Note 26, including the factors used to identify the reportable<br />

segments and the measurement basis of segment information.<br />

2.23 Share capital and share issuance expenses<br />

Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity. Incremental costs<br />

directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted against share capital.<br />

2.24 Treasury shares<br />

The Group’s own equity instruments, which are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognised at cost<br />

and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase,<br />

sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying<br />

amount of treasury shares and the consideration received, if reissued, is recognised directly in equity.<br />

Voting rights related to treasury shares are nullified for the Group and no dividends are allocated to<br />

them respectively.<br />

2.25 Contingencies<br />

A contingent liability is:<br />

(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by<br />

the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the<br />

control of the Group; or<br />

(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:<br />

(i) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be<br />

required to settle the obligation; or<br />

(ii) The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.<br />

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be<br />

confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly<br />

within the control of the Group.<br />

Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised on the balance sheet of the Group, except for<br />

contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are present obligations and which the fair<br />

values can be reliably determined.<br />
