for using the predecessor basis of accounting.
Under the predecessor basis of accounting, the results of subsidiaries and businesses under common control are
presented as if the business combination had been effected throughout the current and previous years. The assets
and liabilities combined are accounted for based on the carrying amounts from the perspective of the common control
shareholder at the date of transfer. On consolidation, the cost of the business combination is cancelled with the values of
the shares received. Any resulting credit or debit difference is classified as reorganisation reserve. Any share premium,
capital redemption reserve and any other reserves which are attributable to share capital of the combined entities,
to the extent that they have not been capitalised by a debit difference, are reclassified and presented as movement in
other capital reserves.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated,
unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the
financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. On an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree at the non-controlling
interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. At the end of reporting period, non-controlling
interests consists of amount calculated on the date of combinations and its share of changes in the subsidiary’s equity
since the date of combination.
The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of
its net assets as of the date of disposal including the cumulative amount of any exchange differences or other reserves
that relate to the subsidiary and is recognised in profit or loss.
All earnings and losses of the subsidiary are attributed to the parent and the non- controlling interests, even if the
attribution of losses to the non-controlling interests results in a debit balance in the non-controlling interests.
In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are shown at cost less accumulated impairment
losses.
Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down
immediately to its recoverable amount (Note 3(f)).
