NOTES TO THE<br />

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

31 December 2011<br />

Continued<br />

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

Save for Notes 3(a) and 3(d)(ii) below, the following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items that<br />

are considered material in relation to the financial statements.<br />

Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform with the current financial year’s presentation as disclosed in<br />

Note 37 to the financial statements.<br />

(a) Basis of consolidation<br />

The Group has adopted the following accounting policies arising from the adoption of the revised FRS 3 “Business<br />

Combinations” and revised FRS 127 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” as disclosed in Note 2(i) to the<br />

financial statements for all business combinations occurring on or after 1 January 2011. The changes in the accounting<br />

policies are applied prospectively and there was no impact to the current financial year ended 31 December 2011 except for<br />

the recognition of RM3,967,000 on profit attributable to the non-controlling interest where all earnings and losses of the<br />

subsidiary were attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interest.<br />

(i) Subsidiaries<br />

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the<br />

financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The<br />

existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing<br />

whether the Group controls another entity. The Group also assesses existence of control where it does not have more<br />

than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern the financial and operating policies by virtue of de-facto control.<br />

De-facto control may arise in circumstances where the size of the Group’s voting rights relative to the size and dispersion<br />

of holdings of other shareholders give the Group the power to govern the financial and operating policies.<br />

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated<br />

from the date that control ceases.<br />

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the<br />

acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the<br />

acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or<br />

liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent<br />

liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group<br />

recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the<br />

non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.<br />

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
