Employee benefits<br />

(i)<br />

Short-term employee benefits<br />

Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave<br />

and sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service<br />

is provided.<br />

A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profitsharing<br />

plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a<br />

result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.<br />

The Group’s contribution to the statutory pension funds are charged to the income statements in<br />

the year to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further<br />

payment obligations.<br />

(ii)<br />

Share-based payment transactions<br />

The grant date fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee<br />

expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the employees become<br />

unconditionally entitled to the options. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect<br />

the actual number of share options that has been vested.<br />

The fair value of employee share options is measured using a trinomial option pricing model.<br />

Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument,<br />

expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected<br />

due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based<br />

on historical experience and general option holder behaviour) and expected dividends. Service<br />

and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account<br />

in determining fair value.<br />

(iii) Long service leave<br />

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit<br />

that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit<br />

is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted.<br />

The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on national government bonds that have maturity<br />

dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations.<br />

(o)<br />

Loans and borrowings<br />

Loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption<br />

value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the loans and borrowings using the<br />

effective interest method.<br />

(p)<br />

Payables<br />

Payables are measured initially and subsequently at cost. Payables are recognised when there is a<br />

contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity.<br />
