SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when
the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally.
The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights
in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at
previous shareholders’ meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of
during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date the Company gains control
until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company
and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the
Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit
balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies
into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the
subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-
controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference
between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid
or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the
difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained
interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and
any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that
subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary
(i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified / permitted by applicable
FRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded
as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under FRS 39, when applicable, the cost on initial
recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less any impairment in net
recoverable value that has been recognised in profit or loss.
