NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)<br />
(s)<br />
Employee benefits<br />
(i)<br />
Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement<br />
plans<br />
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution<br />
plans, contributions to the <strong>Group</strong>’s Employee Trust Benefit Schemes, and the cost of<br />
non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are<br />
rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would<br />
be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.<br />
(ii)<br />
Share-based payments<br />
(a)<br />
Cash-settled share-based payments<br />
The fair value of share appreciation rights granted to employees, which are to<br />
be settled in cash and based on the price of the equity instruments of entities<br />
within the <strong>Group</strong>, is recognised as an employee cost and liability. Where the<br />
employees have to meet vesting conditions before be<strong>com</strong>ing unconditionally<br />
entitled to the payments, the total estimated fair value of the rights is spread<br />
over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the rights will<br />
vest. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date.<br />
Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised as employee costs<br />
in profit or loss.<br />
(b)<br />
Share-based payments among group entities<br />
The fair value of stock options and shares granted by the <strong>Group</strong>’s joint<br />
controlling shareholder to certain employees of the <strong>Group</strong> in respect of their<br />
services to the <strong>Group</strong>, which are to be settled in cash by the joint controlling<br />
shareholder, is recognised as an employee cost, with a corresponding increase<br />
in capital reserve within equity of the <strong>Group</strong>, over the period that the employees<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e unconditionally entitled to the stock options and shares. The amount<br />
recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options and<br />
shares for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are<br />
expected to be met at the vesting date.<br />
(t)<br />
In<strong>com</strong>e tax<br />
In<strong>com</strong>e tax for the year <strong>com</strong>prises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and<br />
liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised<br />
in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business <strong>com</strong>bination, or to<br />
items recognised in other <strong>com</strong>prehensive in<strong>com</strong>e or directly in equity, in which case the<br />
relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other <strong>com</strong>prehensive in<strong>com</strong>e or directly in equity,<br />
respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable in<strong>com</strong>e for the year,<br />
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any<br />
adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.<br />
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences<br />
respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for<br />
financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused<br />
tax losses and unused tax credits.<br />
