Companies that areacquired or disposed of during the year areincluded in the consolidated accounts from thedate at which control is obtained and until controlceases. The cost of an acquisition is measured asthe aggregate of the consideration transferred,measured at acquisition date fair value and theamount of any non-controlling interest in theacquiree. For each business combination, theacquirer measures the non-controlling interestin the acquiree either at fair value or at theproportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiablenet assets. Acquisition cost incurred are expensedand included in administrative expenses.When the Group acquires a business, it assessesthe financial assets and liabilities assumed forappropriate classification and designation inaccordance with the contractual term, economiccircumstances and pertinent conditions as theacquisition date. This includes the separation ofembedded derivatives in host contracts by theacquiree.If the business combination is achieved in stages,the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’spreviously held equity interest in the acquiree isremeasured to fair value at the acquisition datethrough profit or loss.Any contingent consideration to be transferredby the acquirer will be recognised at fair valueat the acquisition date. Subsequent changes tothe fair value of the contingent considerationwhich is deemed to be an asset or liability,will be recognised in accordance with IAS 39either in profit or loss or as a change to othercomprehensive income. If the contingentconsideration is classified as equity, it shouldnot be remeasured until it is finally settled withinequity.Goodwill is initially measured at cost being theexcess of the aggregate of the considerationtransferred and the amount recognised for noncontrollinginterest over the net identifiableassets acquired and liabilities assumed. If thisconsideration is lower than the fair value ofthe net assets of the subsidiary acquired, thedifference is recognised in profit or loss.After initial recognition, goodwill is measured atcost less any accumulated impairment losses.For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwillacquired in a business combination is, from theacquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’scash-generating units that are expected to benefitfrom the combination, irrespective of whetherother assets or liabilities of the acquiree areassigned to those units.Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generatingunit and part of the operation within that unitis disposed of, the goodwill associated with theoperation disposed of is included in the carryingamount of the operation when determining thegain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwilldisposed of in this circumstance is measuredbased on the relative values of the operationdisposed of and the portion of the cash-generatingunit retained.20
