The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless
otherwise indicated in the individual policy statements in Note 3 to the financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial period.
It also requires Directors to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Group and Company’s accounting
policies. Although these estimates and judgement are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of current events and actions,
actual results may differ. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
