term equity interest and where it has power to exercise control over the financial and operating<br />

policies so as to obtain benefits therefrom.<br />

All the subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the<br />

acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of during<br />

the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or<br />

up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The assets and liabilities of a subsidiary company<br />

are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition and these values are reflected in the<br />

consolidated balance sheet. The difference between the cost of an acquisition and the fair value of<br />

the Group's share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary company at the date of acquisition is<br />

included in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill or negative goodwill arising on consolidation.<br />
