the net assets of the arrangements. The Group accounts for its interest in the joint venture using the
equity method. Investments in joint venture are measured in the Company’s statement of financial
position at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or
distribution. The cost of investment includes transaction costs.
(vii) Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable
directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement
of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable
to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss
and the comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and owners of the Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests
even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
(viii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted associates and joint ventures are eliminated
against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investees. Unrealised losses are eliminated
in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
(b) Foreign currency
(i)
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at
exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of reporting period are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the
reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at
the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the profit or loss, except for differences
arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments or a financial instrument designated as a
hedge of currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to
a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains
and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign
operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the foreign currency
translation reserve (“FCTR”) in equity.
