Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />

(v)<br />

Translation of foreign currencies<br />

The presentation currency of the Group is USD. The functional currency of the Company and the<br />

investment holding companies is USD and the functional currency of other group entities located in<br />

Mongolia is Mongolian Togrog (“MNT”). Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at<br />

the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated<br />

in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date.<br />

Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.<br />

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency<br />

are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates.<br />

The results of operations in Mongolia are translated into USD at the exchange rates approximating the<br />

foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Balance sheet items are translated into<br />

USD at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences<br />

are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange<br />

reserve.<br />

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to<br />

that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the profit or loss on disposal is<br />

recognised.<br />

(w) Borrowing costs<br />

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an<br />

asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are<br />

capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which<br />

they are incurred.<br />

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when<br />

expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are<br />

necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing<br />

costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying<br />

asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.<br />
