Defined Contribution Plans<br />

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which <strong>the</strong> Group<br />

pays fixed contributions into an independent entity (i.e., Social Security System).<br />

The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay fur<strong>the</strong>r contributions<br />

after payment of <strong>the</strong> fixed contribution. The contributions recognized in respect<br />

of defined contribution plans are expensed as <strong>the</strong>y fall due. Liabilities and assets<br />

may be recognized if underpayment or prepayment has occurred and are <strong>inc</strong>luded<br />

in current liabilities or current assets as <strong>the</strong>y are normally of a short term nature.<br />

(c)<br />

Termination Benefits<br />

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by <strong>the</strong> Group<br />

before <strong>the</strong> normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary<br />

redundancy in exchange for <strong>the</strong>se benefits. The Group recognizes termination<br />

benefits when it is demonstrably committed to ei<strong>the</strong>r: (a) terminating <strong>the</strong><br />

employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without<br />

possibility of withdrawal; or (b) providing termination benefits as a result of an<br />

offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than<br />

12 months after <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> reporting period are discounted to present value.<br />

(d)<br />

Compensated Absences<br />

Compensated absences are recognized for <strong>the</strong> number of paid leave days<br />

(<strong>inc</strong>luding holiday entitlement) remaining at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> reporting period. They<br />

are <strong>inc</strong>luded in Trade and O<strong>the</strong>r Payables account in <strong>the</strong> con<strong>solid</strong>ated statement<br />

of financial position at <strong>the</strong> undiscounted amount that <strong>the</strong> Group expects to pay as<br />

a result of <strong>the</strong> unused entitlement.<br />

2.20 Borrowing Costs<br />

Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in <strong>the</strong> period in which <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>inc</strong>urred,<br />

except to <strong>the</strong> extent that <strong>the</strong>y are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are attributable to<br />

<strong>the</strong> acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., an asset that takes<br />

a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalized as<br />

part of cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when<br />

expenditures for <strong>the</strong> asset and borrowing costs are being <strong>inc</strong>urred and activities that are<br />

necessary to prepare <strong>the</strong> asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization<br />

ceases when substantially all such activities are complete.<br />

For <strong>inc</strong>ome tax purposes, interest and o<strong>the</strong>r borrowing costs are charged to expense<br />

when <strong>inc</strong>urred.<br />

2.21 Income Taxes<br />

Tax expense recognized in <strong>the</strong> con<strong>solid</strong>ated statement of <strong>inc</strong>ome comprises <strong>the</strong> sum of<br />

deferred tax and current tax not recognized in o<strong>the</strong>r comprehensive <strong>inc</strong>ome or directly<br />

in equity, if any.
