Control is achieved where the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policiesof an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Control is presumed to exist when the Group owns directly or indirectlythrough its subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity, unless, in exceptional circumstances, it can beclearly demonstrated that such ownership does not constitute control. The Group considers the existence and effect ofpotential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible when assessing whether it has control. Entities in whichthe Group holds half or less of the voting rights, but are controlled by the Group by retaining the majority of risks or benefits,are also included in the consolidated financial statements.Subsidiary undertakings include special-purpose entities (“SPEs”) that are created to accomplish a narrow, well-definedobjective, and may take the form of a company, corporation, trust, partnership or unincorporated entity. The assessmentof control for SPEs is based on the substance of the relationship between the Group and the SPE. SPEs in which the Groupholds half or less of the voting rights, but which are controlled by the Group by retaining the majority of risks or benefits,are also included in the Group financial statements.72 G RO U P A N N U A L F I N A N C I A L STAT E M E N T S
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the businesscombination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurredor assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directlyattributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meetthe conditions for recognition under IFRS 3: Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisitiondate, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5: NoncurrentAssets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which are measured at fair value less cost to sell.Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost ofthe business combination over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities andcontingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiableassets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the costs of the business combination, the excess is immediatelyrecognised in profit or loss. The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’sproportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.The Group consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of NedNamibia Holdings Limitedand its subsidiaries (including SPEs) controlled by the Group. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during theyear are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to theeffective date of disposal, as appropriate.Where necessary, adjustments are made to the annual financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accountingpolicies into line with those of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, and profits and losses arising from intragrouptransactions, are eliminated in the preparation of the Group consolidated annual financial statements. Unrealisedlosses are not eliminated to the extent that they provide evidence of impairment.The difference between the proceeds from the disposal of a subsidiary and its carrying amount as of the date of disposal,including the cumulative amount of any exchange differences that relate to the subsidiary in equity, is recognised in theGroup statement of comprehensive income as the gain or loss on the disposal of the subsidiary.Non-controlling interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equitytherein. Non-controlling interest consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination andthe minority’s share of changes in the equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess ofthe minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interest of the Group except to the extent that theminority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.3.1.1 Investment in associateAn associate is an entity, including an unincorporated entity such as a partnership, over which the Group has significantinfluence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate inthe financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the Group financial statements using the equitymethod of accounting, from the date significant influence commences until the date significant influence ceases. Under theequity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at the cost asGROUP ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT S 73
