Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements<br />
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />
(p)<br />
Cash and cash equivalents<br />
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and other<br />
financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known<br />
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within<br />
three months of maturity at acquisition.<br />
(q)<br />
Employee benefits<br />
(i)<br />
Short-term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans<br />
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans<br />
and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued for the year in which the associated services<br />
are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be<br />
material, these amounts are stated at their present values.<br />
(ii)<br />
Share-based payments<br />
The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a<br />
corresponding increase in an other reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at grant date<br />
using Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon<br />
which the options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before<br />
becoming unconditionally entitled to the options, the total estimated fair value of the options is<br />
spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the options will vest.<br />
During the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any<br />
resulting adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognised in prior years is charged/credited<br />
to the profit or loss for the year of the review, unless the original employee expenses qualify for<br />
recognition as an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the other reserve. On vesting date,<br />
the amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that<br />
vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the other reserve) except where forfeiture is only due<br />
to not achieving vesting conditions that relate to the market price of the Company’s shares. The<br />
equity amount is recognised in the other reserve until either the option is exercised (when it is<br />
transferred to the share premium account) or the option expires (when it is released directly to<br />
retained earnings).<br />
(iii) Termination benefits<br />
Termination benefits are recognised at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw<br />
the offer of those benefits and when it recognises restructuring costs involving the payment of<br />
termination benefits.<br />
