NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

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

3.2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

(Continued)<br />

Jointly-controlled entities<br />

A jointly-controlled entity is a joint venture that is subject to joint control, resulting in none of the<br />

participating parties having unilateral control over the economic activity of the jointly-controlled<br />

entity.<br />

The Group’s investment in its jointly-controlled entity is accounted for by the proportionate<br />

consolidation method, which involves recognising its share of the jointly-controlled entity’s assets,<br />

liabilities, income and expenses with similar items in the consolidated financial statements on a<br />

line-by-line basis. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and<br />

its jointly-controlled entity are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investment in the jointlycontrolled<br />

entity, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset<br />

transferred.<br />

Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.<br />

The results of jointly-controlled entity are included in the Company’s statement of comprehensive<br />

income to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s investment in jointlycontrolled<br />

entity is treated as non-current asset and stated at cost less any impairment losses.<br />

Business combinations and goodwill<br />

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration<br />

transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date<br />

fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former<br />

owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control the<br />

acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling<br />

interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a<br />

proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation either at fair value or at the<br />

proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All of the components of noncontrolling<br />

interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.<br />

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for<br />

appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic<br />

circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of<br />

embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.<br />

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s<br />

previously held equity interest in the acquire is remeasured to fair value as at the acquisition date<br />

through profit or loss.<br />
