ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />
Notes to the <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong><br />
For the financial year ended 31 December 2011<br />
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)<br />
2.3 <strong>Group</strong> accounting (continued)<br />
(a)<br />
Subsidiaries (continued)<br />
(i)<br />
Consolidation (continued)<br />
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions<br />
between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment<br />
indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to<br />
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the <strong>Group</strong>.<br />
Non-controlling interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary<br />
attributable to the interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the equity holders of the Company.<br />
They are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive<br />
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of financial position. Total<br />
comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests based on their respective interests in a<br />
subsidiary, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.<br />
(ii)<br />
Acquisitions<br />
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the <strong>Group</strong>, except for<br />
business combination under common control.<br />
For business combinations under acquisition method of accounting, the consideration transferred for the<br />
acquisition of a subsidiary or business comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred<br />
and the equity interests issued by the <strong>Group</strong>. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any<br />
contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.<br />
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.<br />
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are,<br />
with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.<br />
