Revenue from rendering transportation services and other services<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 />
