Under the equity method, the investment in joint ventures is initially recognised in the statement of financial position
at cost. Subsequent to acquisition date the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted with changes in the group’s
share of net assets of the joint venture. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of
the investment and is not amortised or separately tested for impairment. The share of the results of operations of
joint ventures is reflected in profit or loss. This is the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of joint ventures and is
therefore profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the joint ventures. Adjustments are made
where the accounting period and accounting policies of joint ventures are not in line with those of the group. Where a
change in other comprehensive income of joint ventures was recognised, the group recognises its share of any changes
and discloses this, where applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from
transactions between the group and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the interest in joint ventures.
When downstream transactions provide evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of the assets to be sold or
contributed, or of an impairment loss of those assets, those losses shall be recognised in full by the investor. When
upstream transactions provide evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of the assets to be purchased or of an
impairment loss of those assets, the investor shall recognise its share in those losses.
Where non-monetary assets are contributed to a joint venture in exchange for an equity interest in the joint venture,
the profit or loss recognised shall be the portion of gain or loss attributable to the equity interests of the other venturer.
The unrealised gains or losses shall be eliminated against the investment and shall not be presented as deferred gains
or losses in the consolidated statement of financial position. Where such contribution lacks commercial substance, the
gain or loss is regarded as unrealised and not recognised.
After application of the equity method, the group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment
loss on the group’s investments in its joint ventures. The group determines at each reporting date whether there is
any objective evidence that the investments in joint ventures are impaired. If this is the case the group calculates the
amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of joint ventures and its carrying value and
recognises the amount in profit or loss.
Upon loss of joint control over the joint venture, the group measures and recognises any remaining investment at its
fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of joint control and the fair value
of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal, is recognised in profit or loss.
The company’s interests in joint ventures are accounted for at cost.
2.1.2 Associates
The group’s investments in its associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. An associate is an
entity in which the group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and
operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.
Acquisition of shares in investments is reflected as available-for-sale financial assets until significant influence is
obtained in that investment, thereafter that investment is recognised as an associate.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is initially recognised in the statement of financial position
at cost. Subsequent to acquisition date the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted with the post-acquisition
changes in the group’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying
amount of the investment and is not amortised or separately tested for impairment. The share of the results of
operations of associates is reflected in profit or loss. This is the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of associates
and is therefore profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associates. Adjustments are
made where the accounting period and accounting policies of associates are not in line with those of the group. Where
a change in other comprehensive income of associates was recognised, the group recognises its share of any changes
and discloses this, where applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting
from transactions between the group and associates are eliminated to the extent of the interest in associates.
After application of the equity method, the group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment
loss on the group’s investment in its associates. The group determines at each reporting date whether there is any
objective evidence that the investments in associates are impaired. If this is the case the group calculates the amount
of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of associates and its carrying value and then
recognises the amount in profit or loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over associates, the group measures and recognises any retaining investment at
its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of associates upon loss of significant influence and the fair
value of the retained investments and proceeds from disposal, is recognised in profit or loss.
The company’s investments in associates are accounted for at cost.
