These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. (continued) (ac) Provisions Provisions are recognised when: • the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; • it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and • a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. When it is probable that costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for onerous contract is recognised. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed (for example, under an insurance contract), the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. (ad) Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale Non-current assets and disposal groups (a group of assets to be disposed of in a single transaction and liabilities directly associated with those assets) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for sale in its immediate condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group) are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, the assets (or disposal group) are recognised at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Assets classified as held for sale, or included within a disposal group that is classified as held for sale, are not depreciated. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are included in the income statement. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss. A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. A disposal group that is to be abandoned may also qualify. Results from operations qualifying as discontinued operations are presented separately as a single amount on the income statement. Results from operations qualifying as discontinued operations as of the balance sheet date for the latest period presented, that have previously been presented as results from continuing operations, are represented as results from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
