2. IMPACT OF NEW AND REVISED STATEMENTS OF<br />
STANDARD ACCOUNTING PRACTICE (“SSAPs”)<br />
(continued)<br />
2. <br />
SSAP 11 prescribes the basis for the translation of<br />
foreign currency transactions and financial statements.<br />
The principal impact of the revision of this SSAP on<br />
the consolidated financial statements is that the profit<br />
and loss accounts of overseas subsidiaries, jointlycontrolled<br />
entities and associates are now translated<br />
<strong>to</strong> Hong Kong dollars at the weighted average exchange<br />
rates for the year, whereas previously they were<br />
translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance<br />
sheet date. The adoption of the revised SSAP 11 has<br />
had no material effect on the financial statements.<br />
Further details of this change are included in the<br />
accounting policy for “Foreign currencies” in note 3 <strong>to</strong><br />
the financial statements.<br />
