SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
2.4 Basis of consolidation and business combinations
(Continued)
(b)
Basis of consolidation
Basis of consolidation from 1 July 2010
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the subsidiaries
used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same
reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions
and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from
intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group
obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in
a deficit balance.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as
an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it
– De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their
carrying amounts at the date when control is lost;
– De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
– De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
– Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
– Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
– Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss;
– Re-classifies the Group’s share of components previously recognised in other
comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
