SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY <strong>2009</strong><br />

B<br />

ECONOMIC ENTITIES IN THE GROUP (CONTINUED)<br />

(c) Associates<br />

Associates are those corporations, partnerships or other entities in which the Group exercises significant influence,<br />

but which it does not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.<br />

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associates but<br />

not the power to exercise control over those policies.<br />

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised<br />

at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated<br />

impairment loss (see accounting policy E(a) on goodwill).<br />

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and<br />

its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition<br />

movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an<br />

associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group’s<br />

interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has<br />

incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.<br />

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s<br />

interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence on<br />

impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustments are made to the<br />

financial statements of associates to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.<br />

Dilution gains and losses in associates are recognised in the income statement.<br />

For incremental interest in an associate, the date of acquisition is the purchase date at each stage and goodwill<br />

is calculated at each purchase date based on the fair value of assets and liabilities identified. There is no “step up<br />

to fair value” of net assets of the previously acquired stake and the share of profits and equity movements for the<br />

previously acquired stake is recorded directly through equity.<br />

C<br />

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT<br />

All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses<br />

except for freehold land and capital work-in-progress which are not depreciated. Freehold land is not depreciated as it<br />

has an infinite life. Depreciation on capital work-in-progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended<br />

use.<br />

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included<br />

in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future<br />

economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.<br />

The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income<br />

statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.<br />
