NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 143 01 02 05 03 07 06 04 08 09 ANNUAL INTEGRATED REPORT 2018 EXAMINED OUR NUMBERS 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. (continued) (a) Basis of consolidation and investment in subsidiaries (continued) Predecessor accounting (continued) 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(h)). (b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in equity attributable to owners of the Group. (c) Disposal of subsidiaries When the Group ceases to consolidate because of a loss of control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Gains or losses on the disposal of subsidiaries include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the subsidiaries sold. (d) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures over the Group’s share of the fair value of their identifiable net assets including contingent liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition in respect of a subsidiary is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as intangible assets, or if arising in respect of an associate or joint ventures, is included in investments in associates or joint ventures. Negative goodwill represents the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured being less than where the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash generating units ( “ CGUs ” ), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
