Explanatory Notes 30 September 2024 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued 2.7 Accounting Policies continued (b) Investments in subsidiaries Subsidiaries are fully consolidated in the Group’s financial statements from the date control is obtained by the Group until the date that control ceases. Separate financial statements of the investor In the separate financial statements of the Company, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, net of any impairment. Where the carrying amount of an investment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount and the difference is recognised in profit or loss. Upon disposal of the investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. For basis of consolidation, refer to Note 2.4 (c) Investments in associates An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence but not control, or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. (i) Separate financial statements of the investor In the separate financial statements of the investor, investments in associates are carried at cost (which includes transaction costs). Where the carrying amount of an investment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount and the difference is recognised in profit or loss. Upon disposal of the investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Consolidated financial statements The Company’s investments in its associate are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately. The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associates. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of associates is shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate. The financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss as ‘Share of result of associate’ in the statement of profit or loss. Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss . (d) IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments Financial Assets The Group and the Company classify its financial assets into one of the categories discussed below.
