Revenue from rendering transportation services and other services<br />

is recognised when services are rendered.<br />

Payments to defined contribution retirement plans are charged<br />

as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state - managed<br />

retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as defined contribution<br />

plans where the Group’s obligations under the scheme are<br />

equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement<br />

plan.<br />

In<strong>com</strong>e tax charge consists of current and deferred taxes. The<br />

charge for the current tax is based on the results for the period<br />

as adjusted for non-deductible and non-taxable items. The tax<br />

rates and tax laws used to <strong>com</strong>pute the amount are those that<br />

are enacted or substantively enacted, by the reporting date, in<br />

the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable<br />

in<strong>com</strong>e.<br />

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary<br />

differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets<br />

and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting<br />

purposes.<br />

The Group determinates the classification of its financial assets<br />

and liabilities at initial recognition. Financial assets are recognised<br />

and derecognised on a trade date where a purchase or sale of an<br />

investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of<br />

the investment within the timeframe established by the market<br />

concerned and are initially measured at cost, including transaction<br />

costs.<br />

Group’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade<br />

and other receivables, unquoted financial instruments and<br />

derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities include finance<br />

lease obligations, interest-bearing bank and shareholders loans,<br />

overdrafts and trade and other payables and derivative financial<br />

instruments. For each item the accounting policies on recognition<br />

and measurement are disclosed in this note. Management believe<br />

that the estimated fair values of these instruments approximate<br />

their carrying amounts.<br />

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial<br />

assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables,<br />

held to maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, or<br />

as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective<br />

hedge, as appropriate. Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS<br />

39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit<br />

and loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as<br />

hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.<br />
